Proposals
WILL be received at this Office, for erecting a LIGHT-HOUSE at the entrance of Portsmouth Harbour, on that part of Fort Point, called Pollock Rock, and about ninety yards from the old Light House—A foundation of Stone is to be raised on the rock 6 feet, on which is to be erected an octagonal Pyramid of wood, of the height of 78 feet, the diameter at the base to be 30 feet, and at the top 12 feet—the Timber to be of sound yellow or malt pine, and square edged—the Posts to be 16 inches square at bottom, and 12 at top, and may be in two pieces scarfed together—the Sills to be 14 by 16 inches—the Girths 12 by 12—the Studs, (which may be of white hemlock) 4 by 4—and the Braces (which must be of white oak) 4 by 7 inches.—The Pyramid is to be divided into 8 stories or divisions, and a flight of stairs in each—the out side to be covered with seasoned inch pine boards featheredged, on which is to be laid a covering of shingles of the best seasoned white pine, and painted with three coats of paint.—On the head of the Pyramid are to be placed and secured suitable rafters, on which is to be laid a flooring for the Lantern, of 2 inches white oak plank, having a suitable descent for the water to run off, and a covering of thick sheet copper.
The Lantern, to be framed of iron, 8 feet diameter, and 7 feet high—the Posts to be 1 1/2 inch square, and to pass through the floor 2 feet, in contact with the inner side of each post of the Pyramid, to which they are to be secured by 2 bolts in each—a bar of iron passing from the head of one post to the other is to secure the whole together,—eight iron rafters are to be secured to the heads of the posts to form the dome, which of a suitable elevation, is to terminate at, and fasten to a hoop of 10 inches in the centre of the dome, forming an aperture of that diameter in which is to be placed a copper funnel of 18 inches in length, through which the smoke is to pass—over the funnel is to be suspended a canopy of copper—the Lantern is to be secured by 8 iron braces, and a railing to render the passage round it safe—the interstices between the posts to be filled with glass set in iron sashes—ventilators to be inserted in suitable places, and the whole to be finished in a neat manner, and according to the mode adopted in the most improved construction of Light-Houses in this country, and as shall be approved of and more fully described in the contract that may be made.
The persons who shall make proposals for the above undertaking, (finding all the materials, except the Stone for the underpinning,) are desired to specify on what terms they will agree to finish the same this season, and on what terms they will accomplish it by the 20th day of May next.

AN ACT, for incorporating the Proprietors of the Fifth New-Hampshire Turnpike Road.
WHEREAS a petition has been preferred to the General Court, by Thomas Cogswell, and others his associates, praying for the grant of a Turnpike Road, from Plymouth, in the county of Grafton, to Piscataqua Bridge: And whereas it appears, that a Turnpike Road in that direction would be of great public utility:
Therefore, BE it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives, in General Court convened, That Thomas Cogswell, John Pierce, Samuel Winkley, Moses Canney, John Cate, Isaac Waldron, Samuel Hale, and John P. Hale, and their associates and successors, be, and they are hereby, incorporated and made a body corporate and politic forever, under the name of The Proprietors of the Fifth New-Hampshire Turnpike Road; and by that name may sue and be sued, and be sued and prosecuted, to final judgment and execution; and shall be, and hereby are, vested with all the powers and privileges which by law are incident to corporations of a similar nature.
And be it further enacted, That the said Thomas Cogswell, Esq. shall call a meeting of said Proprietors, by advertisement in the Columbian Oracle, printed at Portsmouth, to be held at any suitable time and place, after fourteen days from the first publication of said advertisement; and the Proprietors, by a vote of a majority of those present or represented at said meeting, accounting and allowing one vote to each share in all cases, shall choose a Clerk, who shall be sworn to a faithful discharge of said office; and shall also agree on a method of calling future meetings; and at the same time, or any subsequent meeting, may elect such officers, and make and establish such rules and bye-laws, as to them shall seem necessary or convenient for the regulation and government of said Corporation, for carrying into effect the purpose aforesaid, & for collecting the tolls herein after established; and the same bye-laws may cause to be executed, and annex penalties to the breach thereof: Provided, the said rules
and bye-laws are not repugnant to the Constitution and Laws of this State: And all representations at any meeting of said Corporation, shall be proved by writing, signed by the person to be represented, which shall be filed with the Clerk; and this act, and all rules and bye-laws, regulations and proceedings, of said Corporation, shall be fairly & truly recorded by the Clerk in a book or books provided and kept for that purpose.
And be it further enacted, That the said Corporation are empowered to survey, lay out, make, and keep in repair, a turnpike road or highway of four rods wide, in such route or track as in the best of their judgement and skill will combine shortness of distance with the most practicable ground from Plymouth aforesaid, to Piscataqua Bridge.
And be it further enacted, That in case the said Proprietors, and the owners of land thro' which the said road may run, shall not agree on the compensation to be made for said land, the Superior Court of Judicature, holden within and for the county in which said land lies, upon the application of the said Proprietors, or of the owner or owners of such land, may appoint a committee to ascertain the compensation, and issue execution therefor against said Proprietors in case of non-payment. Provided nevertheless, That no labour shall be done on said road until the said damages so assessed are actually paid, or such security given as shall be satisfactory to the owner or owners of the land through which said road shall pass.
And be it further enacted, That the said Corporation may erect and fix such and so many gates or turnpikes upon and across the said road, as will be necessary and sufficient to collect the tolls and duties herein after granted to the said Company, from all persons travelling in the same, with horses, cattle, carts and carriages.
And be it further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for said Corporation to appoint such and so many toll-gatherers as they shall think proper, to collect and receive of and from every person and persons using the said road, the toll and rates herein after mentioned, and to stop any person riding, leading, or driving any horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, fukey, chair, chaise, phaeton, coach, chariot, cart, waggon, sleigh, sled, or other carriage of burden or pleasure, from passing through said gates or turnpikes, until they shall have respectively paid the same; that is to say, for every mile of the said road, and so in proportion for any greater or less distance, or any greater or smaller number of sheep, hogs, or cattle, viz. for every ten sheep, or hogs, one cent; for every ten cattle, two cents; for every horse and his rider, or led horse, one cent; for every fukey, chair, or chaise, with one horse and two wheels, one cent and an half; for every chariot, coach, stage waggon, phaeton, or chaise, with two horses and four wheels, three cents; for either of the carriages last mentioned with four horses, four cents; for every other carriage of pleasure like sums, according to the number of wheels and horses drawing the same; for each cart or other carriage of burden drawn by one beast, one cent; for each waggon, cart, or other carriage of burden by two beasts, one and a half cent; if by more than two, one cent for each additional yoke of oxen or horse; for each sleigh drawn by one horse, one cent and an half; by two horses, two cents; and if by more than two, one cent for each horse; for each sled drawn by one horse, one cent; for each sled drawn by two horses or a yoke of oxen, one cent and a quarter; and if by more than two horses or one yoke of oxen, one cent for each pair of horses or yoke of oxen.—And at all times when the toll-gatherer shall not attend his duty, the gate or gates shall be left open. Provided, That nothing in this act shall extend to entitle the said Corporation to demand or take toll of any person who shall be passing with his horse or carriage to or from Public Worship, or with his horse, team or cattle to or from any mill or on their common or ordinary business within the town where such person belongs.
And be it further enacted, That the said Proprietors are hereby empowered to purchase and hold in fee simple so much land as shall be necessary for
said road, and that the share or shares of any of said Proprietors may be transferred by deed duly executed, acknowledged and recorded by the Clerk of said Proprietors on their records; and the share or shares of any Proprietors may be sold by said Corporation, on non payment of assessment due.
And be it further enacted, That no toll shall be taken by said Corporation for any mile of said road, until six hundred dollars shall have been expended thereon, or a proportionate sum upon the said road, in proportion to the distance from Piscataqua Bridge to the place where any toll gate may be erected.
And be it further enacted, That said Corporation may be indicted for defect of repairs of said road, after toll gates are erected, and be fined as towns are by law finable, for suffering roads to be out of repair; and said fine may be levied on the profits and tolls arising or accruing to said Proprietors.
And be it further enacted, That in case any special damage shall happen to any person or persons, to his or their team or teams, horses or carriages, by means of the insufficiency or want of repairs of said road, at any time when the gates are kept up, the party aggrieved shall recover his or their damage in an action of trespass on the case, against said Corporation, in any Court of competent jurisdiction to try the same.
Provided nevertheless, and be it further enacted, That if the said turnpike road shall in any part be the same with any highway now used, it shall not be lawful for said Proprietors to erect any gate or turnpike on or across said part of the road now used or occupied as a public highway.
And be it further enacted, That at the end of every ten years, an account of the expenditures upon said road, and the profits arising therefrom, shall be laid before the Judges of the Superior Court for the time being, under forfeiture of the privilege of this act in future; and if the nett profits for the said ten years shall exceed twelve per cent. per annum, the said Court may reduce the future toll, so as that it may not exceed twelve per cent.; & if the profits shall not amount to six per cent. the said Court may raise the toll, so that it shall not be less than six, nor exceed twelve per cent.
And be it further enacted, That if in ten years the said road is not completed according to the provision in this act, every part and clause thereof shall be null and void.
Provided also, That the State of New Hampshire may, at any time after the expiration of forty years from the passing of this act, repay the Proprietors of the said road the amount of the sum expended by them thereon, with twelve per cent. per annum in addition thereto, deducting the amount of toll actually received by the Proprietors, and in that case, the said road shall to all intents and purposes be a public highway, any thing in this act to the contrary notwithstanding.

MISCELLANY.
Extract from the FAITHFUL REMEMBRANCER—(an Original work, preparing for the press.)—No. 6.
THE increase of the number of wise and faithful instructors in the principles of true virtue, piety and humanity, must be considered as of momentous importance in those countries in which civil and religious liberty are or may be established. With the progress of genuine religion in the world, will be that of liberty—they will walk hand in hand to perfection. Without real religion, there is no true liberty. What great things are effected by diligence and faithfulness in the sacred ministry—by precept and example—a constant and persevering attention to every one, joined with unceasing fervent prayer. Praying ministers, and instructors of every kind, are and ever will be successful. A real dependence on the all bountiful giver of every good and perfect gift, is ever richly blessed. Woe, shame and contempt must be the portion of teachers who live not in accordance to GOD, and who seek their own, and not another's good. The faithful will be grieved and humbled, that they do no more real service to others; and the most diligent and attentive will never think they have done enough, or that they can do too much in the sacred cause in which they are engaged, whether as public teachers of religion and

morality, or as instructors of children and youth. Let all pray earnestly, and with a sacred confidence , for their success, and for the increase of their number in every nation; and that none may prove remiss or loiter in their benevolent course, and incur the divine displeasure through their want of love and heavenly zeal and ardor in plucking many out of the consuming fire of their lusts. An Apostle was in much fear and trembling , [as we learn from the scriptures.] in a view of the greatness of his trust, his insufficiency of himself, and his being responsible for the manner of his fulfilling it. All teachers, masters, rulers, heads of societies, and heads of families—yea, every one , in every class of life, are accountable for the discharge of important and essential duties;—that soon prove so cruelly negligent as to suffer his neighbour, friend, relative, or even his enemy, to pursue an evil course without monitory advice, without faithful warning, without persevering intreaty, administered with discretion and tenderness; nor despising and neglecting the poor, nor discouraged by the perverseness, or the fear of any. We are bound to consider all as our brethren, of the same kind and benedict Parent. The tender passions are divinely implanted in our nature, and ought ever to be cultivated and improved to the most benevolent purposes, for the enlargement of the sum of human happiness.
The power divine, that guides creation's fate, With watchful eye surveys the human state, And the sweet charities the breast controul, The virtuous breast with generous passion glows;
And there is ample room for all mankind. Th' unfeigned heart no bliss, no joy bestows; No pleasure knows it, lasting as refin'd.
The day, for a part for religious worship and exercises, should ever be to us as one of the days of Heaven—a day of sacred rest—a day of universal charity, friendship and love, joy and thanksgiving; on which rich and poor, in a divine fellowship, meeting and feasting together before their GOD, enjoy the fore-tastes of future glory and perfection; holding sweet converse together, consulting by what means they may do the most good; supplying every want. This is true worship, this only a true Sabbath. The regenerating influence of such happy Sabbaths must richly bless every other day, and accelerate the last consummating day, whose meridian splendor shall forever illuminate the world.
Without the constant exercise of that charity and tender sensibility to the wants, the miseries and afflictions of each other, which the scriptures so eloquently and pathetically describe, all pretensions to goodness are but impositions both upon ourselves and mankind; and other qualities, however extraordinary, are then prostituted to the service of vice and impiety; rendering those who are possessed of them, the more obnoxious to the divine displeasure. Charity is defined, by an Apostle largely endowed with its celestial Spirit, in the following beautiful climax— Charity suffereth long and is kind—envious not, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, beareth not unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things—Charity never faileth —but abides with us forever in the world of perfected glory and blessedness. It unites all the innumerable orders of intellectual beings in fervent love and enrapturing bliss. It sustains universal creation, and accomplishes its highest felicity and glory. Charity is the spirit of love which garnished the Heaven, and conducts all the immensely various and wonderful operations of eternal revolving periods.
The same Apostle then adds the following salutary injunctions, Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts; but rather that ye may prophecy;—that ye may become teachers of the great things of GOD; that ye may prove successful instructors in every thing lovely and praiseworthy. How honourable the employment! To initiate and improve mankind in HEAVENLY SCIENCE, and lead them on to glory, honor and immortality!
And what have the rejecters of the sacred scriptures to say to these excellent instructions? Do their precepts of virtue exceed them? For they profess to have virtuous precepts. The moral instructions in the scriptures are acknowledged by the whole world. The laws of rectitude for the direction of human conduct, are written in every heart, so as to render inexcusable those who disregard them. Those, therefore, who are for setting aside the sacred volumes, can be no friends to morality and genuine religion—that religion which is pure and undefiled in the view of the Judge of all. They must be indisposed to a compliance with such an exhortation as the following; Give diligence to add to faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge temperance, to temperance patience, to patience piety, to piety brotherly kindness, to brotherly kindness charity. How much of excellent council is here comprehended in a few words! Faith and confidence in Him who is the confidence of all the ends of the earth—is first in the sacred string of virtues. Next are, virtue, strength and manhood of spirit to the performance of every good work—valuable and essential knowledge—Temperance, that blest preservative of health of body and mind, without which life becomes burdensome, wretched and loathsome—Patience, to sustain all things—Piety, brotherly kindness and charity, the ornaments, the glory and felicity of our nature. Ever let us value these divine precepts, nor be diverted therefrom by vain reasoners, who would intrude upon us Chimera's of their own fabrication.
The Chimera is fabulously reported to be a monster spitting fire. The system of false virtue may justly be considered as a monster of fatally ominous aspect, ejecting devouring fire, and threatening universal ruin; a monster begotten of pride, adfurity and impiety; perpetually at war with the wisdom which is from above, that leads to true virtue and happiness; which is pure, gentle, and easy to be entreated; full of good works; without partiality and without hypocrisy. As we value our present peace and comfort, and our future felicity, let us be aware of the snares spread to entangle us, and the specious alluresments to draw away our attention from wholesome councils. Vice and impiety put on a variety of faces.
nating dresses to betray men to misery and ruin. False virtue is arrayed in a gorgeous robe, a deceitful brilliancy, that shall fade before the resplendent splendor of that virtue which descends from Heaven, and which, ere long, all nations shall behold and admire.
We, of the American United States, are a people most distinguishedly favoured of Heaven, and enjoy the most superior advantages for those valuable improvements, which will truly aggrandize our nation, and render really happy the various classes of citizens. If true virtue and piety universally prevail, glory will dwell in our land : but the contempt and neglect of them, will presently rob us of our privileges, destroy our political union, so wisely and seasonably formed, and render us the prey and derision of those who watch for our halting. But we hope better things. If Heaven is conferring on us the power of being a happy people, increasing in happiness, and to contribute largely to the felicity of the surrounding nations; let us shew our thankfulness to the Author of our blessings, by seeking his honor and glory, by pursuing the chief good, the duration of which is eternal. To Him, who is the first object of love, trust and confidence; let every eye be directed—to Him, who by his wonderful kindness engages our affections, assimilates us to himself, and prepares us for a GREATER GLORY, A MORE SPLENDID AND ILLUSTRIOUS DAY.

The Rural Loiterer—No. II.
And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple and of scarlet, and of fine linen. Ex. xxxv. 25th.
THE unspinning simplicity, which reigned in the early ages of the world, has been greatly admired by those writers who lived ere the Rural Loiterer drew the vital air; ere his scrawling pen imbibed the fable ink from the leaden stand; or he was taught the advantages of industry, and the train of evils which attend indolence and enervating luxury.
For the fair daughters of Columbia the principal part of this day's sermon is intended; who will not, therefore, be offended if I direct them to read my text, where they will see, that the wise-hearted devoted a part of their time to an occupation, which our city ladies would, probably, think rather below their dignity. Industry in those days was considered as an indispensable duty; and no woman of whatever rank thought it degrading to practise it.—Even the daughters of the most powerful monarchs cleaned their linen in the chrysal stream, and with their own hands extracted the dirty stain.—The minute fibres of a slender plant they converted into strong cords, and, interweaving them, formed a covering for themselves and their families which displayed a very curious art. The women of those days were emulous to excel each other in the beautiful employments of superintending their families and rendering their situations happy; unlike the dissipated lady of modern days, who introduces herself into every public circle, they lived remote from the visiting assemblies of mankind, and were not anxious to gain the admiration of any, except their own husbands. A fortune was not sacrificed to obtain a gaudy dress and a splendid equipage; nor was the adventurous mariner tempted to approach the frozen pole to deprive an inoffensive animal of its furry skin; nor to traverse the indian ocean after a plant "for which we have substitutes in abundance;" nor were the streaming veins of the unfortunate African, at whose sufferings humanity recoils, broke asunder by the merciless whip, to obtain the sweet ingredient "of our morning meal." "And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands."—But, perhaps, some of my fair readers are ignorant of an art on which they are dependent for the silks they wear; nor is it essential whether they employ themselves in spinning, or in any other manner which will benefit mankind.—Let them, lost in meditative thought, take some useful volume and haunt the shady bower; or nobly soar upon poetic wings" and teach mankind that "virtue's not mere name."
The fair sex, in every age and country, have a very powerful influence in the most important concerns; and instances are not wanting where the vices of a worthless woman were the destruction of the finest cities, nor where the virtues of others have rendered famous even the country that gave them birth; for, however the profligate and vicious may think, virtue will ever be attended with fame and honor.—Women appear to have been designed for domestic life," and those who are content with that, shine in their sphere with an uncommon lustre; and diffuse thro' their families a cheerfulness and felicity which the haunter of theatres and card parties never can bestow.
How is the woman whose whole time is devoted to parties of pleasure; who has no time for reflection and neglects the duties incumbent on her as a parent; how is she to form the opening minds of her tender offspring to morality and virtue; especially, when
her very example has a tendency to lead them in the path to ruin?
The formation of the minds of the rising generation is too important a trust to be left to the superintendence of an ignorant and mercenary nurse; and as the impressions we receive in infancy are seldom, if ever effaced, it must certainly be a very important object to instil into the expanding mind of the liping infant those principles of morality and virtue, on which will depend his future reputation, and the happiness of the society to which he belongs.—Nor does it require less solicitude; of the "wise-hearted" parent, to form the mind of the daughter, than to give a right bias to that of the son.—All who are truly "wise" will not consider their virtue as impregnable, nor will they suffer them to frequent licentious society, until ideas of virtue and propriety become firmly established, as the foundations of the Anles.—They will teach them to make "blue," and "purple," and "scarlet," and fine linen, arts which will be more essential in their journey through life, than either the accomplishments of dancing, or the gaudy parade of dress. We have departed from that amiable simplicity in manners and in dress which distinguished our noble ancestors; and, in the place thereof, have introduced a degree of luxury and extravagance which has a very powerful tendency to render us effeminate and vicious. It is the province of Columbia's daughters to reform those innovations which are detrimental to the happiness of both sexes; and again to recall the golden age of delightful simplicity, and deserve the name of "wise-hearted" by quitting the giddy and dangerous path of luxury and dissipation, and devoting their time to the manufacturing "of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen;" and, in the intervals of employment, strive to reform the vicious members of society by their own amiable examples.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
HAGUE, JULY 12.
EVERY thing is returning here to the old footing; the departmental direction have replaced the ancient arms of the States General in their Hall. Servants' liveries are seen again as formerly.
We have an account from Antwerp, which mentions a singular accident that occurred in the Scheldt, on Sunday last. The Philadelphia, capt. Cooper, of 450 tons, of and from Philadelphia, was run aground, either through the negligence or stupidity of the pilot, near Baaz, and the greatest part of the cargo will be lost. As it happened in a place where the sand bank is known to all fishermen, and even children, it being particularly marked, and as the accident occurred, at five o'clock in the afternoon, with a fair wind, we are full of conjectures that it was done wilfully, and think that the pilot was bribed in order to circulate an idea that our river is insecure and even dangerous. The pilot made his escape, with the Captain's consent; otherwise it is more than likely that he would have been killed by the enraged populace. The ship was laden with Colonial and East India produce. A small part of it has been brought up by two or three lighters, the rest is irrecoverable.
Letters from Vienna of the 26th ult. state, that Pashwan Oglou's rapid progress has given rise to vigorous measures on the part of the Austrian Government. The Court of Russia is expected to consent to the demand made by the Court of Vienna, to march troops for the purpose of taking possession of Wallachia, in order to appease the troubles, or rather to get footing in European Turkey. Pashwan has beaten a corps of 3000 Turks near Pierra. He has invited the Bozars who have taken flight, to return to their homes, and pay the contributions, otherwise he will pillage, and lay waste all their property. His army has been considerably augmented since his entrance into Wallachia by Austrian deserters, Russians, Poles, and Turks. One of his detachments having approached within two leagues of the Austrian frontiers, the Imperial Government has given orders to ten battalions of troops to cover Transylvania; and has declared to the Porte the necessity of occupying Wallachia, as a measure of safety. According to all accounts, the Turkish Government was never in such a state of decrepitude and weakness as at present.
LONDON, JULY 10. Our intelligent correspondent at the Hague informs us, that the Court of Vienna has proposed to the Court of Petersburg, to march troops and take possession of Wallachia, for the apparent purpose of putting an end to the troubles in that province, and of quelling the rebellion of Pashwan Oglou.
Duncan comes here to night, And when goes hence?
When the Austrians and Russians have got footing in European Turkey, will they ever relinquish those fertile provinces? Pashwan Oglou's force is represented to be 20,000 strong. One of his detachments has advanced within two leagues of the Austrian territory. This has afforded the Court of Vienna an occasion for declaring to the Porte, that it is necessary to occupy Wallachia in order to secure the Austrian frontiers from violation.
The Stadholder is to have the rich Bishopric of Fulda as his indemnity. The revenues of the Bishopric amount to 25,000 florins.
Bread is extremely dear in Holland; the price advances every week.
Among other Reports in Paris it is said, an Infernal Machine has been discovered under a little bridge, over which the Chief Consul passes, in his way to Malmaison.
JULY 15. The Earthquake, which was felt throughout a great part of Europe on the 12th of last month, has almost destroyed the town
of Crema, in upper Italy. The inhabitants all fled into the country. The town of Min-guin is entirely swallowed up, and there is now a lake where the town stood. At Brescia, three churches and twelve houses were destroyed.
We are happy to state, that in the principal manufacturing towns in Scotland trade is rapidly reviving. The return of peace has happily brought along with it a large increase in the demand for muslin, &c. and with every exertion, it is almost impossible to execute the numerous commissions which the great manufacturing houses have received.

PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 28.
DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING.
We are informed that the house of Mr. Mark Balderston, in Bucks county, was struck by lightning, at ten o'clock on Wednesday evening last, which killed his wife in the cellar; and, at the same time, a barn was struck and burnt down, belonging to Mr. John Ely. It is said that the house of Mr. Balderston also took fire and was much injured.
In addition to the preceding melancholy accident, we were last night informed, that the Mail Stage, owned by Mr. Vandegrift of Trenton, was struck by lightning at a lane hour on Saturday night last, while on the road between Princeton and Trenton. The lightning appeared first to be attracted by the iron on the back part of the carriage and on the hind wheels, from whence it descended to the axle-tree and ran along the pole, under the carriage, and instantly killed the four horses. Besides the driver, who was, for a short period, stunned by the shock, there were two or three passengers in the carriage, who providentially escaped unhurt, although the body of the stage was considerably flattened.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
The Newburgh paper of August 19, says;—We are informed, by two gentlemen who passed through Connecticut-Farms, New-Jersey, on Friday last, that a most horrid deed was committed on the evening before, by a person of the name of Seaman; the circumstances as near as we can recollect are as follows:
Mrs. Seaman had been out to one of the neighbors on the afternoon of Thursday, and two of their children had been to school; on the return of Mrs. Seaman and the children, it was supposed that Mr. Seaman, after shutting the house and fastening the doors, proceeded to butcher his wife and children—An axe was found in the room, which it is probable was the instrument he used to execute the horrid butchery, as the marks of the axe was plainly discoverable on her forehead, the skull being dashed to pieces, and a pillow was found lying under her head. The children, it is supposed, while this was transacting, had fled up stairs, where they were pursued and massacred by their inhuman father, in a manner too shocking to relate. After these wicked and barbarous proceedings, he finished the horrid catastrophe, by blowing out his own brains; his head was almost entirely shot from his body, and his brains scattered over the room. The following morning the house being that longer than usual, the neighbors got a ladder and discovered the children, in the upper room lying dead, and the floor stained with blood; a magistrate was sent for, and the house broke open. A jury of inquest were called, but we have not learnt their verdict. It is conjectured he was deranged, as it was said that he had for some time past exhibited symptoms of insanity. He was in easy circumstances, and his father resides in New-York.
Extract of a Letter from Brattleborough, (Vt.) dated Aug. 19.
"On Saturday last, Samuel M c Millen, of Warwick, cut his throat from ear to ear, with his razor, and expired in three hours after. The circumstances of this horrid transaction exceed every thing of the kind ever published. He arose in the morning with his usual cheerfulness, went out and milked his cows, returned to the house—took his razor and effed the bloody work in the door-yard, in the presence of his wife; Her shrieks brought a neighbor to the spot; he would not go into the house, or lie down on a bed which was carried out for him; but while the blood was running from his throat, took a quid of tobacco, and offered one to his neighbor, with his usual good nature; by signs he invited him to his fly, to view a pig, then sick, which he feared up, and patted him with fondness. There was no alteration from his common behavior.—no signs of remorse, fear, or sense of his dreadful situation till he fainted and fell on the grass, where he died like a butchered hog.—He was between 60 and 70 years of age. About twenty years since he hung himself, was cut down by his son, and after lying apparently dead half an hour, was resuscitated by an able physician.
It is remarkable, that in spite of shewing any symptoms of insanity or weakness, this man has ever been steady in business, a hard laboring and successful farmer, a pleasant neighbor, strictly moral, and affectionate to his wife and children. That a man in such a state of mind and body, should thus suddenly rush uncalled into the presence of his Maker, is truly astonishing."
MIDDLETOWN, (CON.) AUG. 23.
On Wednesday last about 8 o'clock in the evening, Capt. Moses Dickson and Wife, of Weatherfield, Parish of Rocky-Hill, were drowned in attempting to come ashore from a vessel in the river opposite this city. They were a part of a large company going to Long Island. The circumstances of the disaster, are said to be as follows. Capt. Dickson stepped into a small boat and was receiving his Wife into his arms from the vessel, when the motion of the boat or the weight of Mrs. Dickson, made him totter and fall into the river with her, and they both immediately sunk. Only one person on deck and spectator of the scene, the rest of the company being below at supper. Information was immediately given to the company and to the people on shore, and every exertion made to afford relief, but the body of Capt. Dickson was not found until he had been in the water about two hours; and all efforts to find Mrs. Dickson proved ineffectual until Saturday morning, when
she was found floating down the river about a mile below the city, by some people who were coming up in a boat. We are informed they were about 30 years of age, and have left two children to lament their untimely fate.
BOSTON, SEPT. 2.
Latest from EUROPE.
ON Saturday the John Adams, Capt. Wood, arrived here from Liverpool; and brought London papers to the 17th July. Although they are many days later than before received, they do not furnish any events of importance.
Hostilities in the North East of Europe are talked of;—and Turkey, it is said, is to be divided between Russia, Austria, France and Prussia. The late interview between the Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia, at Memel, is reported to have had this division for its object.—"When kings meet" says a writer "it is generally for something more than ceremony." Though we have not heard of the commencement of actual war in any quarter, we see that Russia is extending its Empire towards Asia. In April last the officers of that nation took possession of the beautiful province of Georgia situated between the Caspian & black seas & on the 23d of that month, all the Georgian officers, &c. took the oath of allegiance to the Emperor of Russia, at Tiflis. The rebellion of Pashwan Oglou arrests the whole attention of the Ottoman Porte.
The question, shall Bonaparte be Consul for life ? Has been decided in the affirmative throughout France. In the interior the votes have been numerous. In one department (Roe) wherein the voters were 89,099, no less than 85,050 voted in the affirmative on the question.—The votes in Paris have exceeded 60,000, of which only 80 have been in the negative. In the department of the Seine and Oise, there were 27,482 affirmative to 27 negatives. At Aix-la-Chapelle the Ladies insisted on having their affirmation recorded, and transmitted to government. The votes for his naming his successor are also numerous. It was reported, that Bonaparte's inauguration was to have taken place the 14th July; but our London papers of the 17th make no mention of the event.—On that day there was a grand review, and other exhibitions of festivity. All the military of France appear devoted to the Premier Consul; and he rewards their attachment by selections from them to fill all important and lucrative offices. The Legion of Honour —against which so much has been said and written—has been organized.—Of its chiefs is General Kellermann. Toussaint, and family, had arrived in France from St. Domingo. Agreeably to the treaty of Amiens, the French have evacuated the kingdom of Naples.
The English papers are almost exclusively filled with accounts of a General Election then taking place. The Parliament was dissolved the 29th June; and writs for electing a new Parliament were immediately issued. The usual scenes of intemperance and confusion occurred in all the great towns. All the leading men, of both parties, have been reelected.—Mr. Fox and Lord Gaudner have been chosen in Westminster.—Mr. Pitt has been returned by the Cambridge University. Grey, Sheridan, Wyndham, Trelawney, Wilberforce, Tierney, &c. &c. have all been returned.—Messrs. Curtis, Coombs, Anderson and Price, represent London. There will not be any material variation in the strength of parties. Previous to the dissolution, the Parliament was occupied in fixing the Peace Establishment.—The Navy has been essentially reduced; and of the army 65,184 have been disbanded; which, with other reductions in the department, Mr. Addington stated, would make a saving of 7,000,000.—A strong establishment was nevertheless to be kept up—"to shew," as a member expressed it, "a bold and steady front to the adumbrative Republic of France." Commercial arrangements between Great Britain and France were on the tapis; though the merchants of Bourdeaux, Marfeilles and Lyons have remonstrated against them. It had been rumored, that on the meeting of the new Parliament, Mr. Pitt would resume the helm; and the French Moniteur style him the shrewd financier .
WAR.
Mr. Hudson, who came passenger in the ship Columbus , which arrived on Monday in 45 days from Cadiz, informs us, that the news of the postponement of the war between the Moors and the United States, was not credited at that place, as the Consul had received no intimation to that effect; and the U. S. Schooner Enterprise , Capt. STERRATT, arrived at that place, July 15, several days after the news had been current, for the purpose of taking under convoy American vessels bound into the Streights to protect them against the Moors.—Capt. STERRATT mentioned that there were two ships firing out at Saffa, a Moorish port in the Atlantic; and two launches at Tetuan, but cannot fail until they receive their sweeps from Tangiers, and it is difficult to get a vessel to bring them.—The Moors had an agent at Gibraltar to purchase powder and balls.

For the GAZETTE.
LYCURGUS in your last paper, appears to be angry for my observations on his performance of the 10th ult.—It is extraordinary that Lycurgus should say, my remarks have a tendency to depreciate the performances of the benevolent, and to retard further observations on the base conduct practised by many of the late Bankrupts, and further, that the remarks encourage the pursuit of wealth, "at the expence of the most worthy individuals."—If the gentleman is "dim-sighted," and the remarks are to him "inexplicable," it would be well for him to "read again" in order fully to comprehend me. With respect to Bankrupts, my opinion is completely in unison with his. I have said, these pests of society have justly merited the execrations of the community, and will at this time add, there are several instances of Bankrupts that have disgraced the commercial part of the community—Tho' they are exonerated by law, from the demands of their injured creditors, yet their consciences and the laws of God do not acquit them; therefore it is the duty of every individual to treat such characters with contempt, as the most effectual means to prevent further impositions of a similar nature.—The unfortunate honest Bankrupts are injured by those miscreants, both in sensibility and reputation. Mankind are too apt to abuse those men that are reduced to poverty by unavoidable accidents, in consequence of the vile conduct of those of an opposite character, and they experience less tenderness, humanity and aid on this account. I differ from Lycurgus in his diffusion of Solomon's advice "labour not to be rich." His explanation of this passage, has a tendency to discourage industry, and to promote indolence and sloth—Surely from some expressions in the gentleman's performance in your last, together with his acquaintance with Lock, Newton and other literary characters, it would have been more fortunate for us, and your readers, had he expatiated on this text, rather than the other, "go to the Ant thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise." Lycurgus asserts, "the fact is certain, that of those who strive to be rich, the majority are unsuccessful." I must here also beg leave to dissent from him in opinion, provided the majority perform their duty to the best of their knowledge: Their miscarriage, I apprehend is more owing to misconduct, than to unavoidable misfortunes, the former frequent occurs, the latter seldom.—Let a certain number of honest young men set out in life, with a desire to acquire property, and the way that leads to it will appear as plain to them, as the way to market. Heaven has capacitated them to discern, that industry, frugality, honesty and punctuality, are the usual means to acquire wealth and respectability, and the majority that labour for wealth on those principles, from the encouragement given by God and man, will very probably acquire more property than will be sufficient for themselves and families. But such is the composition of man, and such his uncertainty of natural causes, that unavoidable accidents will some times, (but not generally) frustrate the best laid plans, and disappoint the expectations of the honest Traveller in the road to wealth—The Traveller is not only convinced he is in the way to wealth and honor, but is confident, (if he acts conscientiously,) and should faithfully improve the talents that Heaven has given him, the road will lead to his everlasting happiness. The great business of life is to make ourselves and others happy; he that acts rationally, and performs what he supposes to be his duty, has no cause to fear the displeasure of the Deity. I find myself inclining to digress, will therefore desist. A. B.

We learn from Washington, that the New-York frigate, of 44 guns, is fitted for sea; and that it was probable the John Adams, of 32 guns, would be immediately put in commission; and the President, of 44 guns, could be got ready for sea, if wanted, in ten days.
It appears by an article in a Baltimore paper—which bears an official stamp—that Commodore Morris had orders to detain the Boston frigate, in case of necessity; which may account for her not having arrived here, even if she has not had the engagement reported.
If any one could doubt the inward chagrin which consumes our Federalists, on the failure of all their plots against the peace and happiness of the people, such doubts would vanish on observing how eagerly they catch at every circumstance, that has the least appearance of serving their hopeless cause. After all their efforts to alarm the people with Tub-Plots, Ocean-Mafacs, French Loans, &c. they are now necessitated to rely on calumniating the President, and misrepresenting his sentiments and conduct.—When Jefferson is loaded with abuse, can it be forgotten that he proposed and obtained the repeal of the very Law which would have prevented or punished his calumniators? Can the People overlook the circumstance of his appealing to their good sense and candour for a justification of his conduct, instead of sheltering himself under an odious law, made by his predecessors to conceal their attempts on the rights of the community? Were no other argument of the rectitude of his intentions to be produced, this alone would be sufficient; for what ambitious man, at the head of Government, ever yet said to the People whom he meant to oppress—Examine my conduct freely; correct me when I err; advise me, and even reprove me? On the contrary, when the intention is to injure, the first object is to secure the silence of the injured party, by influence, by terror, by a Sedition-Law, made in direct violation of the Constitution.

ACROSTIC. On Capt. MARTIN PARRY. Millions of angels guide thy joyous flight, And lead thy footsteps to the realms of light; 'Round thy blest head the golden wreaths they twine, Teach thee the anthem and the song divine. In fadeless bowers that shine forever gay, No rising cloud obscures thy endless day. Princes approach the tomb where virtue lies, And here behold a name that never dies; Royal ensigns sink to oblivion's deep, Roll a few years & they're a dusty heap; Youth reigns forever where such virtues sleep!

OWEN.—A FAVOURITE SONG.
THO' far beyond the mountains that look to distant land, To fight his country's battles last May day went my dear; Ah! well shall I remember with bitter sighs the day, Why Owen did'st thou leave me, at home why did I stay? O cruel were my parents who did my flight restrain, And I was cruel-hearted who did at home remain; With him I love contented I'd journey far away, Why Owen did'st thou leave me, at home why did I stay. To market at Langollen each morning do I go, But how to make a bargain no longer do I know; My father chides at ev'ning, my mother all the day, Why Owen did'st thou leave me, at home why did I stay. When thinking of my Owen, my eyes with tears they fill, And then my mother chides me because my wheel stands still; How can I think of spinning while Owen's far away, Why Owen did'st thou leave me, at home why did I stay. O should'st thou please kind heaven to shield my love from harm, To clasp him to my bosom would ev'ry care disarm; But ah! I fear far distant will be that hap- py day, Why Owen did'st thou leave me, at home why did I stay.

For the N. H. GAZETTE. BENEVOLUS—No. 1.
WHILE providence pours into the lap of the Labouring Husbandman its choicest blessings, and commerce maketh rich the industrious Merchant, let them remember the Poor and Needy, and those who have none to their help; whatever we contribute towards the relief of our suffering and indigent brother, is not lost, but returns to the bosom of the benevolent donor, with ample compensation. The pleasure resulting from an act of charity, is of that exquisite class, as none but those who frequently put this noble virtue in practice can experience the opportunity of gratifying their divine sensations, which are so numerous and perpetual, that ONE, who was well acquainted with the world and what was in man, hath said "The poor ye have ALWAYS with you;" let us turn our eyes which way we will, objects of charity and commiseration multiply fast upon our views, we may meet them in the streets, and even on the highways; they are to be found in the humble and lonely cottages, nay! at our very doors, we may hear the plaints of human woe; and should not their prove a sufficient stimulus to awaken and animate our hearts to sympathy, compassion and relief? Let us repair to the dreary abodes of the hapless prisoner, there we may perceive deep distress, depicted on every brow, and dread despair proclaim itself in every feature—let us repair to the wretched dwelling of the poor man, whose circumstances are rendered still more deplorable by a distressing sickness, while prostrated on a bed of straw, enduring the torments of a scorching fever, and consuming with rapidity, a once robust constitution, his little children on either side, prompted by the calls of nature ask for bread; gracious Heaven! at this instant what must the parent feel, when from a pillow bedewed with tears, he feebly rises, and bids them trust in GOD; that such instances of misery frequently occur in the world, is owing in a great measure to the manners and customs of a people, but more to the internal police of their government, that they are so often unattended to, and unrelieved by individuals is not so much to be imputed to their want of humanity, as to their real and feigned ignorance of their existence; for place us in a situation where we can behold these unhappy objects, and lie must have a heart as impenetrable as it is adamant? who can contemplate them without emotion, let them the dictates of nature operate upon our actions, and cheerfully employ those means we are so abundantly furnished with, to the attainment of an end which it was the design of providence we should ever keep in view, viz. the happiness of the human race, and it is undeniably true, that he who wants compassion for his brother, can bear no love to his Creator, for "who-so loveth not his brother's good and feeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of GOD in him."
Medley.
A Lawyer treated as he merited.
A YOUNG upstart LAWYER, in company with others of his kidney, joking with an innocent country Girl, riding by, asked her to stop, and what she had got to tell? the Girl readily stopped, and told him she had nothing to tell; Ho, my dear, will you let me OCCUPY you? occupy me, what does that mean, replied the modest Girl, what good will that do me for? why says the Lawyer it is a technical term in Law, which BLACKSTONE calls occupancy or possession, and I can tell you what good it will do you; it makes the thing occupied, Sprightly; Oh! then says the Girl, I will get off free, and walk home, and you may ride and occupy my MAARE, for she is mon- tuous dull, now that she is with you, and after you have occupied and possessed her, as much as pleases you, and made her sprightly, then bring her to my Father, and he will satisfy you for your trouble: with this answer, the BURROON /neaked/ off like a FOOL, who was taken to his own FOLLY; his comrades laughed at him to his great confusion.
