NOTICE is hereby given, That in conformity with the provisions of the act supplementary to the act, intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States," books will be opened at the office of the commissioner of loans for New-Hampshire, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March, 1808, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for such parts of the old six per cent. deferred stock as may be subject to redemption, and for the purchase of the new six per cent. stock, as may, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the said commissioner of loans.
Those proprietors of the old six per cent. and deferred stocks, who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof a new six per cent. stock, equal to the unredeemed amount of the stock surrendered, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, under a proviso however, that no reimbursement shall be made except for the whole amount of any such new certificate of stock, nor till after six months previous notice; and the proprietors of the three per cent. stock who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof, a six per cent. stock, equal to sixty-five per cent. of the amount of three per cent. surrendered, redeemable in the same manner as the new six per cent. abovementioned, but not redeemable however, without the assent of the holders, until after the whole of the new six per cent. (given in exchange for old six or deferred as abovementioned,) as well as the whole of the eight per cent. stock of the United States, shall have been reimbursed. It is also provided that in every reimbursement which may take place, a preference will be given to those creditors who may notify their wish to be reimbursed; and that if the applications to that effect shall at any time either exceed or fall short of the sum then applicable to that purpose, the priority of payment shall, so far as may be necessary, be determined by lot.
The present stock-holders who reside in any part of Europe, and may assent to that modification, may, at their option, receive the interest accruing on the new stock, either in the United States as heretofore, or in London, or Amsterdam at par: in which last case, the interest will be paid there by the bankers of the United States, six months subsequent to the day on which the same would be payable in the United States, and subject to no variation; nor to any other deduction than a commission to the bankers, of one half per cent. on the interest thus paid.

LAWS OF THE UNION.
[PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.]
AN ACT Supplementary to the act intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States."
WHEREAS it is desirable to adapt the nature of the provision for the redemption of the public debt to the present circumstances of the United States, which can only be done by a voluntary subscription on the part of the creditors.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a subscription to the full amount of the old six per cent. deferred and three per cent. stocks be, and the same is hereby proposed: for which purpose books shall be opened at the treasury of the United States, and by the several commissioners of loans, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March next following, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for such parts of the above mentioned descriptions of stock, as shall, on the day of subscription, stand on the book of the treasury and of the several commissioners of loans, respectively: which subscription shall be effected by a transfer to the United States, in the manner provided by law for such transfers of the credit or credits standing on the said books, and by a surrender of the certificates of the stock subscribed.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That for the whole or any part of any sum which shall thus be subscribed, in old six per cent. or deferred stock, credits shall be entered to the respective subscribers, and the subscriber or subscribers shall be entitled to a certificate, or certificates, purporting that the United States owe to the holder or holders thereof, his, her, or their assigns, a sum to be expressed therein, equal to the amount of principal of the stock thus subscribed which shall remain unredeemed on the day of such subscription, bearing an interest of six per centum per annum, payable quarter-yearly, from the first day of the quarter during which such subscription shall have been made, transferable in the same manner as is provided by law for the transfers of the stock subscribed, and subject to redemption at the pleasure of the United States. Provided, That no single certificate shall be issued for an amount greater than ten thousand dollars: And provided further, That no reimbursement shall be made except for the whole amount of any such new certificate, nor till after at least six months previous public notice of such intended reimbursement.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That for the whole or any part of any sum which shall thus be subscribed in three per cent. stock, credits shall likewise be entered to the respective subscribers; and the subscriber, or subscribers, shall be entitled to a certificate, purporting that the United States owe to the holder or holders thereof, his, her, or their assigns, a sum to be expressed therein, equal to sixty-five per centum of the amount of principal of the stock thus subscribed, bearing an interest of six per centum, per annum payable quarter yearly, from the first day of the quarter, during which such subscription shall have been made, and transferable and subject to redemption in the same manner, and under the same regulations and restrictions, as the stock created by the preceding section of this act: Provided, That no part of the stock thus created shall be reimbursed without the assent of the holder or holders of such stock until after the whole of the eight per cent. and four and a half per cent. stocks, as well as all the six per cent. stock which may be created by virtue of the preceding section, shall have been redeemed.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the commissioners of the sinking fund shall be, and they are hereby authorized to appoint an agent in London, and another in Amsterdam, whose duty it shall be to receive subscriptions and transfers, and to issue new certificates in the manner, and at the times abovementioned, and as the officers of the treasury department, or the commissioners of loans might do; that is to say, the agent in London in favor of such stock holders residing in the dominions of Great Britain in Europe, and the agent in Amsterdam in favor of such stock-holders residing in any other part of Europe, as may respectively become subscribers: Provided, That the certificates issued by the said agents, shall bear interest only from the first day of the quarter next succeeding that in which the subscription shall have taken place, and that in relation to subscriptions made in old six per cent. or deferred stocks, the sums expressed in such new certificates shall be equal to the amount of the principal of the old six per cent. or deferred stocks thus subscribed, which shall remain unredeemed after payment of the dividend payable on such stock, on that day from which the interest on the new certificates shall commence. The foreign stock-holders thus subscribing with either of the said agents, shall be entitled to receive the dividend in the old six per cent. deferred, or three per cent. stock subscribed by them respectively, which shall be payable on that day, from which the interest on the new certificates shall commence. And it shall be the duty of the said agents, respectively, to transmit before the end of each quarter, to the register of the treasury, and to the several commissioners of loans, respectively, triplicate abstracts of the certificates of stock subscribed, and of the new certificates issued by them, during such quarter, in order that the proper credits may be entered on the books of the treasury, and of the commissioners of loans, as the case may be, to the holders of such new certificates. And the said agents before they enter upon the execution of their several offices, shall, respectively, take an oath or affirmation for the diligent and faithful execution of their trust, and shall
also become bound with one or more sureties to the satisfaction of the commissioners of the sinking fund, or of the secretary of the treasury, in the penal sum of twenty thousand dollars, with condition for their good behaviour in their said offices.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the holders of old six per cent. deferred, or three per cent. stock, who may become subscribers, as aforesaid, either in the United States, or in Europe, and who, on the first day of July next, and also on the day of the subscription, shall be resident in Europe, or in any option, which must be made at the time of subscribing, receive the interest accruing on the stock created by virtue of the preceding sections of this act, either in the United States, as other creditors, or at London, or Amsterdam: that is to say, the stock-holders residing, at the times above mentioned, in the dominions of Great Britain in Europe, at London, and at the rate of four shillings and six pence, sterling, for each dollar; and the stock-holders residing, at the times above mentioned, in any other part of Europe, at Amsterdam, and, at the rate of two guilders and a half guilder, current money of Holland, for each dollar: in which last mentioned option the condition shall be expressed in the new certificates to be issued, and the credit, or credits, to be given to the subscribers thereof, shall be entered, and shall thereafter be transferable only on the books of the treasury: Provided however, That the interest thus payable in London and Amsterdam, shall not be payable until the expiration of six calendar months from the day on which the same would be payable in the United States, and shall be subject to a deduction of one half of one per cent. on the amount payable, for commission to the bankers paying the same: And provided also, That every proprietor of such stock may, on surrendering his certificate, receive another to the same amount, the interest whereof shall be payable quarter-yearly in the United States, in the same manner as that accruing on the stock held by persons residing in the United States.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the same funds which heretofore have been, and now are, pledged, by law, for the payment of the interest, and for the redemption or reimbursement of the stock which may be subscribed by virtue of the provisions of this act, shall remain pledged for the payment of interest accruing on the stock created by reason of such subscription, and for the redemption or reimbursement of the principal of the same. It shall be the duty of the commissioners of the sinking fund to cause to be applied, and paid out of the said fund, yearly, and every year, such sum, and sums, as may be annually wanted to discharge the annual interest and charges accruing on the stock which may be created by virtue of this act. The said commissioners are hereby authorized to apply, from time to time, such sum and sums, out of the said fund, as they may think proper, towards redeeming, by purchase or by reimbursement, in conformity with the provisions of this act, the principal of the said stock. And the annual sum of eight millions of dollars, vested by law in the said commissioners, shall be, and continue appropriated to the payment of interest and redemption of the public debt, until the whole of the stock which may be created by the preceding sections of this act, shall have been redeemed, or reimbursed.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That there shall be allowed to each of the agents to be appointed by virtue of this act, in addition to the necessary expenses incurred by them, for printing, stationery, and postage, a sum of three thousand dollars, as a full compensation for their services. The said agents, and the commissioners of loans, shall also be allowed such additional sum as may be actually and necessarily expended for the clerk hire requisite for carrying this act into effect. And for defraying the said compensations and allowances, and such other contingent charges as may be incurred for carrying this act into effect, a sum not exceeding sixteen thousand dollars, to be paid out of any monies in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, is hereby appropriated.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That whensoever notice of reimbursement shall be given, as prescribed by the second and third sections of this act, the certificates intended to be reimbursed, shall be designated therein. In every reimbursement the preference shall be given to such holders of certificates as previously to the said notice, shall have notified in writing to the treasury department their wish to be reimbursed. If there should not be applications to the treasury sufficient to require the payment of the whole sum to be applied to that purpose, the secretary of the treasury, after paying off all sums for the payment of which application shall have been made, shall determine by lot what other certificates shall be reimbursed so as to make up the whole amount to be discharged—and in case the applications shall exceed the amount to be discharged the secretary of the treasury shall proceed to determine by lot what applications shall be entitled to priority of payment.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That the agents appointed by virtue of this act, and the several commissioners of loans, shall observe and perform such directions and regulations, as shall be prescribed to them by the secretary of the treasury, touching the execution of this act.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That nothing in this act contained, shall be construed, in anywise, to alter, abridge, or impair, the rights of those creditors of the United States who shall not subscribe to the loan created by virtue of this act.

FROM THE AURORA. Politics for Farmers.—No. 19.
We have shewn, by contrasting the situation and progress of the government constantly held up for your imitation, with the state of happiness you possess under your elective government, the superiority of your condition in every respect. Since the preceding numbers were published, our positions are strengthened, and the absurdity of commercial wars, standing armies, navies, fortifications, are rendered not only nugatory but more ridiculous.
We have enumerated British taxes, tythes, excisemen, in order to prove that those who have held forth that government as a model of perfection, were deceivers; that they held up to view a theory deceitfully painted and tinsel'd on the outside; but which experiment had proved to be totally fallacious in its application, and fatal in its consequences.
It is not to us a matter of triumph that the British system has been productive of nothing but misfortunes to the world, and of oppression and misery to its own people; but it is certainly a moral obligation on every American citizen to guard his country against the folly or the wickedness which would lead America in the same destructive path. What we have said hitherto has principally related to the operation of her system of government on the nation of England—we shall take a view of a few circumstances abroad, and let us see if the course is any better there.
There is a Mr. Wm. Eton, an Englishman, who was many years in the civil and military service of the empress of Russia. Mr. Eton, in 1801 published under sanction of the British Government, for whom he acted as a political agent, an history of the Turkish empire. The motive of that publication was to stir up England against France, and to induce the British to support the empress of Russia in her views on the Turkish empire.
Eton's work is very interesting—no man of discernment can be mistaken as to the political object of the book; but the information compensates for every thing of that kind; he gives the following view and history of the treatment of near 80,000 farmers, their wives and children, by the regular government of Russia: this dreadful relation is given with all the cold insensibility of a courtier of St. James's who estimates farmers and mechanics only as brutes—not one word of pity or reprobation escapes his courtly pen—take his own words—farmers—
"While I was in the quarantine on the Russian frontier, in September 1778, there passed 75,000 christians (farmers) obliged by the Russians to emigrate from the Crimea, of whom 35,769 were males. The Armenian women who came from Kaffa, were more beautiful, and I think approached nearer that perfect form, which the Grecians have left us in their statues, than the women of Tico. These people were sent to inhabit the country abandoned by the Nogai Tartars, (on its being conquered by the Russians) near the west coast of the sea of Azoi; but the winter coming on before the houses for them were ready, a great part of them had no other shelter from the cold, than what was afforded them by holes dug in the ground, covered with what they could procure; they were a people who all come from comfortable homes; and the greater part of them perished; seven thousand only were alive a few years ago! Other colonies had no better fate, owing to the bad management of those who were commissioned to provide for them—(contractors who were howling for war) and not to the climate."
Now farmers what think you of this picture told by an English officer, the friend of Russia—and if friends will relate such truths, what cannot enemies relate? What would the whole truth be?
He relates it simply as a mere matter of course, as a merchant invoices old iron; not one word of pity escapes his pen, any more than if these hapless people were statues of iron or stone, for they were nothing but farmers and mechanics.
With the savage feeling of a courtier of St. James' when dwelling or conversing on the cruelties committed in America; or the massacres of millions for commercial purposes in India or Asia—they are passed over as merchandise—he says other colonies shared the same fate.
There women were more beautiful! O noble connoisseur! He sealed his eyes with the beautiful

forms of those farmer's wives, and the beautiful children—driven at the point of the bayonet, by the order of the savage empress, to form what—and for whose purpose—why what think you? A city for the advantage of British merchants, a commercial city on the sea of Azof!—As Shylock says—“this was the value of the bond!”
What must have been the dreadful sufferings of those christians who all came from comfortable houses!
Here pause one moment, farmers—there were no royal Bourbon's, no dukes d'Enghien among these Armenian beautiful women and children to excite christian feeling—they were only people of Armenia, christians, beautiful and had been happy.
But American farmers—mark me! In that very year, when those 75,000 farmers and other colonies, and their beautiful wives and children were thus murdered,
In that very year was that humane monarch, George III, in actual treaty for 50,000 of those very Russians who drove those poor farmers before them with their bayonets; and for what purpose think you—to be transported to America, to do, what think you?—to aid the Hessians and Brunswickers and British troops, in cutting your throats, and giving you an energetic government, like that which the Armenians experienced!
Like those poor farmers you would have been treated by those auxiliaries of George III, had they been landed—you might perhaps like the Maroons or Caribbs, have changed your climates, and merely to strengthen your constitution; the South Carolinian might have been removed to Nova Scotia, as the Armenians were to Kassa, only for their good or the good of their trade.
The Jersey prison ship, Wilksbarre, and Paoli, would, indeed, and in truth, have been only whippings.
Doctor Johnson, who was in the secret of St. James and knew what life laid—he knew the intentions of the cabinet of those days.
Turn to Morse's Geography , if you have the book—if not buy, or borrow it, and then read the account of the massacre of Praga or Warsaw, and of the Poles—by those same Russians—who are now the last hope of Europe against jacobinism.
Farmers of America, you may not all know how it happened that British emissaries are in such deep anxiety for the fate of Russia, at the present moment.
We will tell you—they care nothing about the Russians, but they are in- terest against France for re-establishing Poland—you ought if you can obtain it, read the history of Poland. It is a useful story for freemen; for Poland fell from its independence because the body of the people were slaves—and because an aristocracy is always accessible to corruption and ever lasting for power.
There is one other reason that influences the adherents of England, it was France that prevented those self same Russians from cutting your throats—by preventing their being sent hither; take Eton's own words for it—obser Eton is no jacobin, nor in French pay—nor even attached to Democracy —he says—“It would be an endless task to recite all the manoeuvres of the French till they unluckily succeeded. In the same year 1779—the Empress of Russia had determined on giving his Britannic majesty an effective assistance against his rebellious subjects in America, then supported by the crown of France. Prince Potemkin, who to the last day of his life, affirmed that the success of the enterprise against Turkey, depended on the alliance of Great Britain—had the sole management of this business, and without the concurrence of count Panin, the minister of foreign affairs, and the partizan of France, who suspecting, or having some information of what was going on, employed a miss Guibal governess of one of Potemkin's nieces, to steal the papers from under the prince's pillow, and after seeing the contents, to replace them so carefully, that it was some time afterwards before he discovered he was betrayed. Count Panin found means to retard the signature of the instrument already drawn up, and produced another project in the place, that of the armed neutrality .”
Thus it was, farmers of America, that you escaped the ravaging murders of Suwarow and the Russians—that Boston, or York, or Philadelphia, did not exhibit horrors to rival Praga.
This is the true cause of the mourning of the Cullens and British agents for the fate of Russia.
It was for the intentions of those Russians that the blood thirsty Suwarow, and those Russians, were toasted and success drank their arms in this city of the brotherhood—at the coffee-house where our merchants fill resort—and where Harper and Meircken and Joe Thomas where the leaders of the feast.
By the British merchants and warm federalists of Philadelphia, over the nocturnal banquets , and their quits . Here is their hostility to France.
France prevented Suwarow and 50,000 Russians from being sent hither, in addition to the Hessians, Hanoveri-
ans, and Brunswickers, and from cutting your throats, for the sake of order and regular government.
Farmers of America, when you read this account of 70,000 of your obedient brethren —do not forget that such would have been exactly your fate had George III been victorious—the burnings at Paoli, anti Wilksbarre, Elopus and Fairfield and N. London, as the pious doctor Samuel Johnson said, were only the whippings of children, compared with the tender mercies of Russian masters.
In droves like cattle equal to the population of Ohio and Tennessee, would you have been driven before the Russian bayonets; and you, and your beautiful wives and children, shipped off either to have been slaves in the British W. I. Islands, at Botany Bay—or perhaps to found colonies on Labrador, or Baffin's bay—as the Armenians were sent to the borders of the sea of Azof.
Remember reader—as you go along—that in these numbers throughout, we offer nothing of theory or surmise —nothing is left to conjecture; we challenge the most inveterate enemies of our politics and yours, to contradict us in a single circumstance or fact which we have uttered to you in the whole course of these numbers.
We give them chapter and verse for our authority, nothing is left to doubt or to speculation—let them turn to Kearney's tax tables for the exemplification of the miseries of Britain—all we say is from British authority.
Let them turn to Eton's survey of the Turkish empire, printed in London in 1801—for our assertions in this essay are quoted from that work.
And yet farmers of America, you have been called to weep over those Russians—who dismembered Poland, and massacred her virtuous citizens at Praga! Look at Morse's geography for an account of this.
We suppose you will be called on by the warm federalists to weep over that self same prince of Hesse, who told his subjects to cut your throats, farmers.
We suppose you will be called on to weep over the Hanoverians who were sent to cut your throats.
We suppose you will be called on to weep over the Brunswickers, who were sent to cut your throats.
The wages of sin and death which, they received for your wounds, and the murders of your forefathers, are taken from them—and the pains they inflicted are now repaid upon Hanover, and Hesse, and Brunswick.
These Brunswickers, whose duke, in his dreadful manifesto declared,
“That such of the farmers of France, as were found in arms against the troops of those allied powers , (the Russians and Prussians) should be punished as rebels , (just the same language as was held towards you Americans in 1776)—and the city of Paris in case the king, queen and royal family are not immediately set at liberty, is to be delivered up to the horrors of military execution!”
It was the lately deceased duke of Brunswick, who at the head of a Prussian army made this proclamation; and that proclamation was only the echo of what Edmund Burk said at the same time—hear him:
“The mode of civilized war, will not be practised; they must look for no modified hostility: all which is not battle , will be military execution !”
This, farmers, was the language of men who sasted and who prayed and who, drunk with blood, wished success to the Russian and Prussian partitioners of Poland—where are those Russians and Prussians now and see where Poland is—you were once on the verge of being parties in common with those Prussians and Russians—to drive 70,000 American farmers before the bayonets as they did the farmers of the Crimea.
And will you weep over the fate of those Russians, those Hessians, those Hanoverians, those Brunswickers? Or rather over the destruction of their rulers—For whose subjects, any change must be for the better.
Compute all these things, for that is the use of them—if you do not compare, all you read is good for nothing.
Had George III, succeeded against you;
Had the Russians come among you, what would have been your fate?
Look where you are—guard what you have—and you are the most happy people on earth.
From the Democratic Press .
The want of fire arms is grievously complained of in the Russian army. The supplies promised by Great Britain, have not been sent, and much discontent exists. This want of punctuality, the late events before Constantinople, and the discipline, state of preparation, and augmented strength of the French army, are all causes which will powerfully dispose Russia not only to conclude a peace with France, but to join that power and others to compel England to emancipate the ocean. These events, and the state of the government at home, places Britain on ground less secure than she has occupied at any time since the wars of the French revolution.

“On the 3d of January, Peelman Aga Ayan, of Silistria, attacked the Russians near Galatia, killed 300, and made 200 prisoners who were sent to Mustapha Pacha, with some sacks of heads and ears.”
“On the 28th of the same month, 1500 men Russians and Wallachians, advanced from Bucharest to Zemizga, a Wallachian village, opposite to Siston. The Turks killed or took upwards of 200 of them: the rest were put to flight.”
“A more important affair took place on the 20th, near Imaifloff, under Peelman Aga. The Russians lost 800 men killed, 300 prisoners, three pieces of cannon, and some stores. Peelman Aga commanded 15,000 excellent cavalry, and half of it composed of reolute Tartars.”
“On the 9th of February, a partial affair occurred near the village of Patra, some leagues beyond Bucharest. The Russians had 500 killed, 600 made prisoners, lost one piece of cannon, and 800 horses.”
“The army of Mustapha Pacha is 60,000 strong. He never pardons any Rajah he finds among the Russians, but he is kind to his prisoners.”
“It appears certain, that discord prevails at Bucharest between Ypsilanti, Michelson, and the Boyards. The Russians have almost all the place. It is supposed they intend to repass the Dniester. Their numbers do not exceed 15,000.”
“Prince Suzzo, who has been here some days, has sent his Spatar to Crajova, in Little Wallachia, to collect the faithful Boyards, and arm the inhabitants.—It is clear, that a single Boyard will not remain with Ypsilanti. I am, yours, LAMARRE.”
TURKISH FRONTIERS, MARCH 20.
Four thousand Russians have been attacked by Peelman Aga, 2000 of them, three pieces of artillery, and some standards taken; and the residue driven towards Bender. Previous to this, Peelman Aga had taken 700 Russians.
The Russians have only 10,000 men in Wallachia; and in all the actions between Bucharest and the Danube, the Turks have been the victors.—Near Siston, January 29, 1500 Russians were routed by the Turks, with the loss of 100 killed.—At Patra, on the 9th February, the Russians lost 1200 killed and taken, 800 horses, and a piece of artillery.—They have since retreated behind the Ardis.
Muftapha Bayractor, in the absence of the Grand Vizier, commands the Ottoman army, and has 40,000 ready to march into Wallachia.—Malla Aga, of Widdeu, has 20,000 in Little Wallachia, and will act in concert. The Russians and the Boyards are at variance.
BERLIN, APRIL 8.
Six thousand Spanish cavalry and 24,000 infantry of the same nation, have passed the Pyrenees and are expected on the Banks of the Elbe the latter end of April. The passage of French troops by divisions and whole regiments is greater than ever. We also daily see pass through here considerable transports of powder and ammunition of all sorts.
On the 9th ult. a large English vessel was upon the rocks of Rota. The boats from the English ships off this port saved what they could, and then burnt the vessel. They lost 24,000 stands of arms which were on board, designed for the army of Sicily.
PRUSSBURG, APRIL 1.
Letters from Semlin thus account for the massacre of the Turks in Belgrade: “While toleration extends on all sides, according to one of these letters, and the Emperor Napoleon grants equal rights to all religions wherever his power or influence extends: the fury of making proselytes has seized upon the Servians. Their fanaticism gave birth to the dreadful massacres lately perpetrated upon the Turks at Belgrade. They wished to propagate their religion among the Mahometans by fire and sword, and thought they should perform a meritorious work, in murdering all that remained faithful to their belief, and refused to adopt the religion of the Greek Church.—Hitherto 700 persons of both sexes have been baptized, merely to save their lives. It was in the midst of these bloody scenes that the Servians have proclaimed Czerri Georges, their Chief, Prince of Servia. The latter continues his military preparations: he has provisioned Belgrade and Schabatz, and is collecting a number of troops at Uchitza.”

Capture of Alexandria.
LONDON, MAY 10.
Last night's Gazette contains official dispatches from General Frazier, and Commodore Hollowell, dated Alexandria (Egypt) March 25, 1807, announcing the surrender by capitulation, of the town and fortresses of that place, with two Turkish frigates and a corvette on the morning of the 21st March. The expedition sailed from Messina, convoyed by the Tigre , of 80 guns, and Apollo , 38, with 23 transports. The Turks opposed the attacks of the troops; but on the city being summoned by Gen. Frazier, the Governor capitulated. The British force which landed, was about 1000, having Major Gen-
eral Wauchape, Brigadier-General Stuart, &c with them. The capitulation is signed by Gen. Frazier, and Com. Hollowell, on the part of the British; and by Leidi Mahamed Naim Effendi, Hagg Mahamet Kater, and Sieg Ibrahim Bafa, & stipulates, that the Turkish troops and seamen shall be prisoners of war; that the vessels and all private property shall be given to the British; but private property to be respected. The British loss in the attack was 1 officer, and 6 privates killed; 1 officer, 1 serjeant, and 8 privates, wounded. The frigates captured, mounted one 40, one 36, and the other 18 guns, all brass. Detachments had been sent to take Rofetta and Rahamnie.

The reinforcements which have reached the Russian Grand Army, with Prince Constantine, amount to 32 battalions, 27 squadrons, and 92 pieces artillery: Besides these, thirteen more battalions; and from 60 to 70,000 of the levies, are on the march; and will speedily join.—These are independent of 200,000 militia, ordered into service. The voluntary War-Contributions amount to 42 millions of rubles. The Russian army is well supplied with stores, clothing, &c.
Gen. Loftoe, on the right of the Russian army, has his quarters at Heigenhal. Gen. Essen commands the left.—Count Tolsfey his quarters at Heiligenberg; and Prince Baerion, who commands the advanced corps, is near Gullstadt.—The Russian Head Quarters are at Bartenshein.—(April 21.)

BY THE MAILS.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 5.
BURR'S TRIAL.—Gen. Wilkinson not having arrived at Richmond, previous to the 3d instant, it is presumed, there were no new proceedings in this case, subsequent to the date of our former accounts. A Richmond paper, received on Saturday, is silent on the subject.
It has been supposed by many, that Burr would be tried at the present term:—this is a mistake. We believe we can say with certainty, that the only object contemplated, for the present, was the examination of such testimony by the grand jury as could enable it to decide, whether they would find a true bill against Colonel Burr. The trial, before a petit jury, will take place at the next term. We have heard this as a reason assigned for the non-attendance of the attorney general for the U. S. during the proceedings. The petit jury to try, is to be nominated from Wood county, Virginia, where the crime is said to have been committed. [Aurora.]
BOSTON, JUNE 18.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Forbes, the American Consul, to his correspondent here.
HAMBURG, 16TH APRIL, 1807.
“Enclosed are copies of Circular Advertisements under the date 17th Jan. and 3d inst. I have now to add the agreeable news, that the navigation of the coast from Tonnigen here is permitted by the English, and hopes are entertained that in a short time we shall have a modification of our blockade by the English, which will permit neutral vessels coming from neutral places to enter this river, except such as may be laden with provisions and other articles necessary for the French armies. The present times are difficult, but the general consolation is, that the crisis is past, and we hope things are on the mending hand. A regulation has been made by Gen. Brune touching foreign trade, and promising protection to neutrals.—Such as arrive from the U. S. will not be subject even to the accustomed visit by the French Consul, and unless they have touched in England, will be admitted to an unmonitored entry.—It is said that already licences are freely granted by the English government for neutral vessels laden with colonial produce to enter the river, and proceed as far as Glückstadt.”
BRITISH FRIENDSHIP!
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Essexport , (Maine,) to the Representative here, dated the 6th of June.
“Yesterday an English cutter belonging to Halifax came up this river, and meeting a number of plaitermen going out, pressed sixteen of them, and after detaining them two or three hours dismissed them! She then went into snug cove, where she met Capt. Perry coming in, and brought him to, by firing a gun. Soon after, as Capt. Merriam was getting under weigh, the cutter pushed for him, and fired 2 guns with shot which stopped him; but while the cutter's boat was boarding Capt. M. Capt. Perry filled and bore away, on seeing which the cutter gave chase, and lodged a shot in his foremast. The passengers told me they never considered themselves in greater danger, as the cannon balls, grape shot and musket balls flew thick for some time. Perry however got out of his reach, and escaped without any other damage than that done his mast. A midshipman who boarded Capt. Merriam, ordered Israel Andrews into the boat, who replied ‘I am going into my own boat’; the midshipman damned him, and told him he should go into the cutter's boat—a quarrel ensued, when the midshipman knocked down Andrews, then put a pistol to his breast, and told him if he did not immediately comply, he would blow him thro’ He went in the boat, but was afterwards dismissed.”
They boarded a vessel off Wolf island, the men having gone ashore except the master, and cut the hoops of the sails from the masts, hove the anchors over, and left the Captain to get in as he could! They pressed John Berry from one of the plaitermen, and carried him off. The cutter is now lying off and on Head harbor, waiting for more prey. What other mischief they will do before they leave us, no one can tell.
“I hope all who have boasted of the manly conduct of the British, will now acknowledge they are as capable of behaving with as much wantonness and villainy as any other nation in the world.” [Chron.]
The Driver , British sloop of war, has captured a fishing smack from St. Augustine to Charleston, and sent her to New Providence. Some of the passengers having asked captain Love, on what pretext the seizure was made, he answered that as the vessel belonged to Charleston, where he had been insulted, he chose to take satisfaction in his own way—no doubt he had heard of Whitby's acquittal. [Aurora.]
APPOINTMENTS.—Hon. BARNABAS BIDWELL, Attorney-General. Hon. JOHN WOODMAN, of Buxton, a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas; and STEPHEN THACHER, of Wells, Judge of Probate for the county of York.
SALEM, JUNE 18.
MILITARY.—Yesterday being the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill , the Salem Light Infantry, under Capt. Derby, and several of the Militia Companies paraded in this town on the occasion. The appearance of the Militia was respectable, and the Light Infantry displayed their usual elegance and excellent discipline.
A company of young Lads also made their appearance in a handsome uniform, and afforded much gratification by their pleasing appearance, and by their precision in the military exercise. They are filed “ The Salem Juvenile Artillery ,” and commanded by Master Francis Clark. In the forenoon, they were presented with a handsome Standard, by Miss Harriet Clark, accompanied with the following Address:
“The Salem Juvenile Artillery Company will please to accept this Standard, from the hand of her whole heart glows with the most fervent wishes for their happiness and prosperity. Animated with the spirit of laudable emulation, may they adorn themselves with every virtue and accomplishment which becomes the Patriot, the Soldier, and the Citizen; And while never ceasing gratitude for their departed fathers, glows in their breasts, may this Standard be displayed in defence of the inestimable privileges purchased by their blood.”
To which the Ensign (master Joseph Henderson) made the following reply:
In behalf of the Salem Juvenile Artillery Company , I return the most grateful acknowledgements. Though Juvenile, yet our hearts exult in the hope, that these dawning efforts will rise in superior strength to crush each rude invader of our peace. This Standard (respected Mills) we accept, and when we recollect the hand by which it was presented, it shall inspire our bosoms with patriotic zeal to protect our Females from the shafts of the Enemy.”
The bill of mortality for Baltimore, in the first week in June, was 13; 7 adults and 6 children.
Melancholy Catastrophe.
At Piermont, (N. H.) on Monday night, the 11th ult. between the hours of 11 and 12 was consumed by fire, the store occupied by Messrs. Dame & Sargent, one part of which contained the family of Mr. Seymour Marsh—the principal part of its contents (consisting of goods and furniture to a very considerable amount) was destroyed. But what is most distressing to relate is, that a girl, seven years old, by the name of Nabby Truefidel, who was living with Mr. Marsh, was so shockingly burnt before she could be extricated from the devouring element, that she survived only forty-nine hours.

Portsmouth,  TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1807.  LATEST FROM EUROPE. By late arrivals at Boston, Dublin papers to the 9th, Liverpool to the 7th, and London to the 13th May have been received.  No great events had occurred in the Grand Armies in Regal Prussia or Poland, as late as the 15th April. Great numbers of troops were daily advancing to reinforce both.  The Swedes, from Stralsund, having followed the French too far, were, in their turn, attacked by Mortier, defeated, and driven beyond Anklam, with the loss of 1400 made prisoners, and five pieces of cannon. On this reverse, the Swedish Commander proposed an armistice, which was agreed to, and two Swedish islands pledged as guarantees. Each party was at liberty to break the armistice on giving ten days notice. It was conjectured in England, the armistice would not be ratified by the King of Sweden.  The complete failure of the English expedition against Constantinople was confirmed. Admiral Duckworth had returned into the Archipelago, with the loss in the passages of the Dardanelles of 69 killed, and 219 wounded. Stone balls were fired into the fleet in the narrows, weighing 700 lb. each. Six Turkish ships of war were destroyed. On the return of the English to Tenedos, they were joined (March 16th) by seven sail of Russian line of battle ships. The failure of the expedition is attributed to calm weather, and the want of troops.  The Russians had invested Imael; had gained some advantages, and received reinforcements from the Crimea; but the Ottoman forces were collecting in strength, and a French army was on the point of entering Turkey.  Many reports of the proffered mediation of Austria, and of pacific negotiation, were current; but none of them appeared to be well founded. And in opposition to them it was asserted, the British Ministry had agreed to furnish Russia with a subsidy of nearly thirty millions of dollars. And all the movements and measures of Alexander and Frederick-William appeared to indicate a determination to risk their fortunes in another bloody field.
Extract of a letter from Monte Video, dated March 2, 1807. "We arrived at this port in November last, although it was then strictly blockaded by the English, they then holding Maldonado. On our arrival a guard of soldiers was immediately put on board, and all hands kept on board for six weeks. On the 3rd of February this place was taken by storm, after a siege of fourteen days. The port is now full of shipping. All kinds of goods are at reduced prices. The port is open to neutrals for eight months, for all articles, Dry Goods excepted, with permission to take the produce of this country. Buenos Ayres, it is said has declared independence and formed A REPUBLIC. The Vice Roy is arrested as a Traitor and for deflection, having deserted this place with a number of troops at the commencement of the siege. The English have here ten ships of war and six thousand troops. They have demanded a surrender of Buenos Ayres, but have been answered in the negative."
We shall probably have the satisfaction to announce to-morrow, the arrival of gen. Wilkinson, at Richmond. He left New Orleans, in company with Mr. Graham, secretary to gov. Claiborn, on the 21st May, on board the U. S. Schooner Revenge, bound for Norfolk.  The delay that has taken place, is now accounted for. We are assured that the order from government for the attendance of this important witness, was not received at New Orleans on the 10th of May—it is evident, therefore, that the utmost dispatch was used to get the U. S. Schooner to sea on the 21st. The promptitude of gen. W. exposes the malice and falsity of those, who have been endeavoring to persuade the public, that this officer dare not attend the trial, and encreases the hopes we entertain of an issue honorable to himself, and beneficial to the country. [Aurora of June 15.]  Although the matter of charge against Burr, is now before the tribunal of Justice, and although there is much affection of a desire that the trial should be permitted to proceed, free from and unbiased by extraneous influence, there is scarcely a federal or British print that has not commenced the exculpation and defence of the man accused, or that has not undertaken to impute the most corrupt and infamous motives to the government of our country.  The objects are easily comprehended—Federalism will never be induced to forgive the successful arrest of power in its hands; magnanimity lessens not its anger, and the happiness of the people is a reproach upon the former administration. It watches every opportunity to render the government ridiculous and disrespected; and it associates in its ranks the avowed emissaries of an unfriendly power.  To those who call on government for proofs to sustain the message to congress, we answer—the government has them—it will make good its charge—Wilkinson can prove, in addition to what has before been made known, that two attempts were made to corrupt the U. S. troops and garrisons, and that the plan for the seizure of Baton Rouge was digested and agreed upon. The denunciation of Wilkinson will not fail in investigation or discovery—nor will it intimidate the government.  The friends of Burr, indeed, may ultimately be found to have done him the greatest mischief—their exultation at Wilkinson's absence is not a proof of the inadequacy of his testimony, and it must be changed to the deepest mortification, when he shall appear to give his testimony.  Let the people be well assured, the government has not proceeded thus far, unconscious of its acts or of the responsibility attached to them—it knows the character of the nation better than to make a sport of what ought to be viewed and considered with the utmost awe. The issue, they may be satisfied will put the stamp of shame and disgrace upon the men, who are now sporting with public feeling for the basest purposes. [Aurora.]

ON MR. STATIRA MANNING. So soon we lose STATIRA dead! The mournful shadows o'er her head! A solemn thought comes round my brain, The will to have her back again! I wish with orphans, poor and all Rich blessings on her offspring fall. (The brief remains now sleep in dust.) Ah! what remains? in God we trust! Mourn for her weeping friends and know ALL IS VANITY BELOW! None could find a soul more kind, None more good is left behind— I mourn the real honest friend, No pride her honest heart could bend, God has made her blessed end!!! J. W.
From the Chronicle.  Messrs. Printers, The numerous instances of Suicide which have occurred within a year past, induce me to request you to publish the following extract from the Rev. Dr. Miller's excellent discourses on Suicide, recently published. If the pathetic arguments made use of by this truly pious and learned divine, should have the desired effect on a single individual, and prevent him from a resolution to fly from life, it will unquestionably be a great gratification to you to reflect that you gave it publicity through the channel of your paper.
EXTRACT From Dr. Miller's excellent discourses on suicide, recently published.
Besides the injury done to society in general, he who destroys his own life, seldom fails to inflict the deepest wounds upon all who stand more immediately related to him in domestic and social life. Say, miserable man! who art contemplating the crime of self-murder, hast thou no PARENT, the evening of whose days, by this crime, would be embittered, or whose grey hairs would be brought down with sorrow to the grave? Hast thou no amiable PARTNER of thy life, who would be precipitated by this step into the deepest affliction? Hast thou, no TENDER BABES, who, by thy desertion, would be left fatherless, and exposed to all the dangers of an unprotecting world? Hast thou no BROTHER OR SISTERS to share in the grief, and the disgrace of thine unworthy conduct? Are there no FRIENDS who love thee, who would weep over thy folly and sin, and feel themselves wounded by thy fall? In short, would the execution of thy wicked purpose disturb the peace of no family? Torture no bosom of sensibility or kindness? Defraud no creditor? Plunge no friend into difficulty? Rob no fellow creature of happiness? Did thy conduct extend only to thy own person, tho' still a crime, it would be comparatively small. But the consequences of such a step would probably extend beyond thy conception and last longer than thy memory. Stay then, guilty man! Stay thy murderous hand! Extinguish not the happiness and the hopes of a family; it may be, of many families! Forbear, O forbear to inflict wounds which no time can heal, and which may tempt survivors to wish that thou hadst never been born!
—Let us go to yonder victim of impatience and despair, who wanders silent, melancholy, and alone, meditating the termination or his sorrows by the pistol or poisonous draught—let us approach, and inquire why he is disgusted with life? You are embarrassed in your circumstances; you have been robbed of your property by fraud, or by other disastrous occurrences; you have been precipitated from the height of affluence to abject poverty; you cannot dig, to beg, you are ashamed; and therefore resolve to fly from life. But before you take this dreadful and irrevocable step, pause a moment, and answer me the following questions: Is a large portion of property indispensably necessary to happiness? Have not thousands been contented and happy with as small a pittance as that which you possess? Nay, have not some found more real enjoyment after being thus reduced, than they found in the days of their affluence and prosperity? Was not the Saviour of the world, when he sojourned upon earth, without a place where to lay his head? And has he not, by his example, made poverty and sufferings honorable? Besides, though you are now in straitened circumstances, may not a kind Providence hereafter smile upon you, and reward your industry with comfort and plenty? Who can tell but that, like Job, your latter end, in this respect, may be more blessed than your beginning? But even supposing the worst; will you destroy a life on which so much depends, for the sake of treasures which are transient and unsatisfying; for a little glittering duff, which perishes in the using; "For so much trash as may be grasped thus?" Miserable estimate! ignoble alternative!—Live, and exhibit the sublime, the edifying spectacle, of one struggling with want, and yet holding fast his integrity!

WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaiming on its virtues he becomes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united. "I confess, therefore, of judging liberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the results of their matured reflections."
DENNISON'S
Improved Jaundice Bitters;
OR THE  GRAND ANTIBILIOUS CORRECTIVE. The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, coarseness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowness is by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinges the urine, and the whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to dysplasia and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy.
They are particularly serviceable in habitual coarseness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; expel wind in the easiest manner, without immoderate heating or irritating the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, lifelessness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and vivifying the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for seafaring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epicures and bon vivans who wish for a delicious and delicate preparation for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board.
* These Bitters are sold by the sole agent, at No. 48, Newbury-Street, corner of Winter-Street, Boston, N. England, who has authorized some person as Vender in all the principal towns in the New-England States, viz—Mr. CHARLES PEARCE, for Portsmouth, and Mr. JOSIAH GILMAN, for York, by whom the above may be had Wholesale and Retail.
