FROM THE AURORA. Politics for Farmers.—No. 16.
Whenever the emotions of virtuous liberty take possession of man, the spirit which it inspires, renders him superior to the little and fordid interests which engross the plodding calculator or the speculator in human wants or misfortunes. This spirit it is which though it may not be equally felt by all is still so diffusive and glowing as to arouse and keep nations from falling into the lethargy of vices and fordid passions. Without this animating spirit, or could it be extinguished, the American nation would speedily follow in that gloomy path which leads to the grave of liberty and the loss of general happiness. This spirit in republics is vital—it is the spirit which guards against the encroachments of every species of danger, and which being established on the basis of virtue, without which freedom cannot exist, necessarily maintains an incessant and eternal watchfulness, against every species of crimes and criminals. A convention of this kind however grateful the triumph to the advocate of virtue, cannot be maintained without much disgust, much abhorrence, and not a little of hazard and peril to him, who is placed in the front of the combat—where the advocate of public virtue has nothing to expect but the consolations flowing from his own rectitude—and where the wicked disregarding all considerations but success in which they may gain something; are indifferent alike to honor, and to virtue, and even to the atrociousness of their means of warfare; they resort to weapons which virtue would not employ, and they find allies and auxiliaries in every gradation of turpitude.
Such we without affectation fairly confess, we think to be the condition of every editor of a free press who advocates the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and the peace and independence of the United States. The joy that warms the bosom of the free man, who renders noble service to his country, is like incense which regales the senses—and the anger and the menaces of his enemies are the proudest tributes of applause bestowed on his labors.
We had contemplated suspending the remaining numbers of the POLITICS FOR FARMERS—but we find them called for from all parts of the country; we have been repeatedly solicited to publish them in a more portable form; and we have been requested to continue them. The most forcible call upon us has been the articles from the gazettes notoriously hostile to the liberty of the United States; they have exhibited so much anger and resentment, as to prove that the success of these numbers has exceeded our own anticipations—Upwards of 300 new subscribers have been added to the subscription list of the Aurora, since the first day of December last; we shall now complete the series; three numbers besides the present, are already prepared; and shall appear without material delay.
In the preceding numbers we exhibited the ingenuity, and variety of taxation, under that government which is a more stupendous fabric of human wisdom (or wickedness!) than hitherto existed. We touched upon the regal civil list and its various legitimate and illegitimate branches—and we ventured also to touch the hierarchy and the tithes.
We promised to touch upon the excise—that fatal malady of free states. The memory of excise is not yet eradicated from the American mind, it excited a dangerous fermentation, and a just apprehension; much as the resistance of that execrable excise system has been artificially covered with odium; it is the manner of the resistance, and not the resistance itself that is really censurable; the resistance however destroyed it; and the sacrifice of a million of dollars was a cheap expenditure to save the nation from its horrid and baleful effects. Comparatively few of our citizens know what the excise was—or is; but they may form an opinion of what it might have been, had the system not been annihilated by the national feeling, by a view of the excise system in England, from which our very profound financiers borrowed it. The Farmers of America may remember that the excise and the British treaty were born about the same time, and have been each fruitful of disaster.
The excise was introduced in England under that very Charles I. who had his head cut off on a scaffold, for his manifold offences against the people; but when that government became so financial from its extravagance, as almost to realise the opinion of an Italian, that the government was instituted only to make experiments in finance, and to discover how far the theory of credit and interest and imposition and credulity could be carried—according as the government became wicked and extravagant, the excise was progressively extended to such an extreme, as to be of itself sufficient to obliterate every vestige of civil liberty, domestic security, or attachment to government—read and judge for yourselves—read these papers which British emigrants tell you "are accursed papers," because they tell you truths which no one can controvert—which they cannot deny—which they cannot even shew, to be in a single particular false, nor either distorted or discolored in a single instance.
You American farmers can brew your own beer from your own malt—if you chuse to do it—you can roast and grind your own coffee if you chuse to use it; if you kill a bullock, a calf, or a sheep, and you chuse to make candles or to make soap, of the fat, you can do it without asking any man's permission; the things are your own. But there would be no end to shewing you what you can do and may do—but none of these things flated, nor a thousand more can an Englishman do in his own country—without an exciseman!
In England no house-keeper dare under a heavy penalty, roast as much coffee as would make a breakfast—but in the presence of an exciseman.
No man dare make his own chocolate without an exciseman. No man can make his own malt, or malt for another person—without an exciseman.
Every person who makes candles or soap, must take out a license, and have his name registered in the excise office; so that no person in his own family can make soap or candles, whatever may be saved by it—there must be an exciseman to see soap or candles made, and even the place in which they are made, must be closed and secured by two locks and the exciseman must keep one of the keys; so that no soap or candles be made but in his presence, and when it suits his convenience! nor can the man-

usfactory be unlocked but in the presence of an exciseman.
No person can brew his own beer, or beer for any other person—but in the presence of an exciseman.
The exciseman is of a privileged order, for he has power to enter any malt house—or brew house, at any time of the day—or night; and if admission is not immediately given, he may, by having a constable present, break open the door.
No man can distil a gallon of whiskey or gin without an exciseman.
No man can make a brick } without an exciseman. or a tile Nor dig a slate } exciseman. from a quarry
No man can manufacture snuff or tobacco without an exciseman.
When an innkeeper or tavernkeeper takes out a licence for keeping a tavern—he has not done all that the excise law requires; he may keep the tavern empty if he likes, and live upon his licence, if he does not take out an additional and separate licence for every one of the following particulars:
 1 A licence for selling brandy and spirits or rum.  2 do Beer.  3 do Wine to his customers.  4 do Tobacco and segars.  5 do Cider and mead or mead.  6 do for letting Horses.  7 do do Chaises, gigs or Jersey Waggons. 
Then your grocers, or wet good store keepers must have their several kinds of licences also—
 1 A licence to sell Tea, coffee or chocolate.  2 do Tobacco and snuff.  3 do Starch.  4 do Wine.  5 do Whiskey and spirits. 
A separate licence is to be paid for in every case.
But the shopkeeper is not done there: the excise pays particular attention to its favorites the shopkeepers and tavern keepers.
The exciseman is bound to keep an account of the shopkeeper's stock, and the tavernkeeper's stock, which he may take account of at any time, and as often as he chooses; he can compel them at his own discretion to weigh every pound of tea, coffee, chocolate, starch, tobacco, or snuff; and to gauge every cask of Wine or other liquors, every day, and at any hour of the day he chooses; it signifies nothing how busy the tavernkeeper or the storekeeper may be, with their customers—all must give way—to his majesty's ink horn.
The tanner cannot tan a hide, but under the inspection of an exciseman.
The manufacturer of glue—must work under the exciseman.
The dresser of skins and manufacturer of parchments, must not work without an exciseman.
No man can carry a hide, after it is tanned, but under the inspection of an exciseman.
No man can establish a paper-mill, but under the controul of an exciseman.
We have not done, nor one half done—for another exciseman of a superior order—whom we shall notice in our next; meanwhile—we recommend it to those who are forever holding up the British government as a model of perfection, to open their understandings and be no longer foolish—what we here state they may not all have known; but he who knows these things and would recommend such a system for our imitation, must be an enemy of human nature—or an ideot.
American farmers, never forget that this is only a small part of the system that was intended for you—this was the rod which an energetic government was to provide for you—and to bring you to order and regular government; and do not forget—that excise, and tithes, and taxes are the natural effects of monarchy, wars, and the odious systems which tear from the hands of industry the fruits of its labor, to bestow it on the ministers of courts and those spurious broods of beings called nobility.
From the National Intelligencer.
"United we stand—Divided we fall."
That a schism has taken place among the Republicans in certain parts of the union, is a fact too well known to admit of the least doubt. The writer of this will not enter into an examination of the causes which have produced this unfortunate event. He will leave to those, who are versed in state politics, the patriotic task of exposing hypocrisy and denouncing ambition. He cannot, however, refrain from making a few remarks on the dangerous tendency of these divisions.
It has ever been the fate of republics to be cursed with a number of intriguing and unprincipled characters, who not content with enjoying a share of public patronage, have arrogantly claimed the exclusive right of governing the commonwealth, or in the language of Mr. Adams, wished to be "put into a hole by themselves"—To effect which, they have invariably excited divisions among the friends of liberty, and during the agitated state of the public mind, some one, more daring than the rest, has seized the reins of gov-
ernment, and the people were made to believe, that "the calm of despotism" was preferable to "the tempestuous sea of liberty."
Although but little more than thirty years have elapsed since we assumed the rank of an independent nation, attempts have already been made to subvert our liberties—as a proof of which witness the arbitrary and unconstitutional measures which were pursued by the late administration.—It is unnecessary to enter into a detail of them. They are still recent in the public mind, and will not soon be forgotten. The attempt, however, was found to be rather premature.—The American people were not prepared to wear the fetters which were forging for them. They exercised their constitutional right of dismissing from their service, men who no longer enjoyed their confidence, and placed in their stead a band of patriots, who have deserved well of their country.
Although the "well born" were compelled by the indignant voice of a much injured and insulted people, to abandon the helm of state, they were nevertheless sanguine in their expectations of soon regaining their lost authority and influence. It was however considered necessary to resort to calumny and misrepresentation, for the purpose of destroying the characters of those whom the people delighted to honor, and in particular that of the President. But the arrows of calumny, (though dipped in wormwood and gall, and stained with malice and slander) have been hurled at them in vain. The name of Jefferson, is full dear to the American people, and his memory will be adored as long as virtue, patriotism and talents shall have votaries.—The opposition party have been equally unsuccessful in their attempts to render the government unpopular. The citizens of this country (at least nine tenths of them) have unequivocally approved of the measures which have been adopted since the change of administration, persuaded (as they are) that they have prompted the happiness and prosperity of our country.
Republicans—although the dangerous machinations of your political opponents have been hitherto counteracted, it is chimerical to suppose that they have abandoned their projects.—They have, however, in some measure, changed their mode of warfare. Instead of confining themselves to calumny and misrepresentation, they have for some time past been industriously employed in sowing divisions among the friends of the administration. In this laudable pursuit, in this Macedonian policy , they have met with some success.—Persons who still assume the garb of republicanism; who still call themselves the friends of the President, openly advocate an union with the sworn enemies of Democracy , and the calumniators of the virtuous and patriotic Jefferson—Republicans, be vigilant—regard with a jealous eye those who are the advocates for so hateful an union —for should this ever take place, we may put on the mantle of mourning and bid adieu to the constitution and liberties of our country.
CATO.
LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, APRIL 7. 60,000 stands of arms are ordered to be sent to Russia; and a proportionable number of ball cartridges. Upwards of 60,000 arms have been already sent, and have arrived.
APRIL 8. Our Merchants lately sent a Memorial to our Minister at Russia, stating complaints against the Russian Government, and desiring him to endeavour to procure redress. He inconsiderately presented the very Memorial, intended for his own information, to the Russian Ministry—who are much offended at it. The British influence in Russia is impaired. It is even feared Russia is negotiating for a peace.
HAMBURGH, MARCH 30. The head quarters of the French army continued at Osterode on the 22d inst.
The latest accounts from the theatre of war seem to announce great events. It is reported that the right wing of the French army, under Marshal Massena, has made a movement upon the left of the Russians. If this be true, a decisive action appears inevitable. The alarm excited by these movements are compensated by new hopes of peace. All the letters from the theatre of war say that proposals of peace have been made; and it is known that the negotiations to which the presence of M. De Kleist at the French head-quarters have given rise, are not entirely broken off.
The following article appears to furnish the latest information from Constantinople, if it is not a forgery—
CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 10. The English Squadron have availed itself of a northerly wind to sail out of the channel. While the English admiral was negotiating, the batteries were constructing under the direction of French officers all around our port, and mounted with upwards of 600 pieces of cannon. Within a few days, the forts of the Dardanelles were put in the most tenable condition. Before three weeks shall have elapsed, the Dardanelles will be in a state altogether impregnable like our port. In the canal the English were struck with astonishment at the sight of the immense population of the coast. Their boats, which put off to fetch water and
other provisions, were not able to land. They have, therefore, done extremely well to steer off with all possible speed. The Grand Seigneur has adopted the same measures in his dominions against the English and their property as the French Emperor. The seals have been put on the palace of the English ambassador, as well as on all English warehouses.
VIENNA, MARCH 21. Admiral Louis's squadron cruising off Tenedos, was, in February, reinforced by five ships of the line, and several frigates; and on the 21st February forced the seven forts which protect the passage of the Dardanelles, burnt a ship of the line, and some Turkish frigates in the channel. In consequence, fresh negotiations took place, and were continued when the last accounts came away.
COPENHAGEN, APRIL 7. On the 1st inst. the Prussian garrison of Danzic, was in high spirits, and has recently been reinforced by 4000 Russians, and 1200 Cossacks, by sea. On the 29th March the garrison made a vigorous sally, and took 520 prisoners, and killed or wounded 400 of the French, with the loss of 127 killed, and 63 wounded. The French were completely surprised.
CAPTURE OF MONTE VIDEO.
The following is extracted from Gen. Auchmury's letter, to the British Government, dated Monte Video, Feb. 6.
The Ardent, with her convoy, arrived at Maldonado on the 5th Jan.; and I immediately took under my orders the troops from the Cape, commanded by Lt. Col. Backhouse. On the 13th, I evacuated that place without opposition, leaving a small garrison on the island of Goritti.
On consulting with Rear Ad. Stirling, it was determined to attack Monte Video; and I landed on the morning of the 18th, to the westward of the Carretas Rocks, in a small Bay, about nine miles from the town. The enemy were in great force, with guns on the heights, when we disembarked; but they did not advance to oppose us, and suffered me to take a strong position, about a mile from the shore.
On the 19th we moved towards Monte Video. The right column, under the Hon. Brig. Gen. Lumley, was early opposed.—About 4000 of the enemy's horse occupied two heights to his front and right. As we advanced, a heavy fire of round and grape shot opened upon us; but a spirited charge in front under Col. Brownrigg, dispersed the corps opposed to him, with the loss of a gun. The enemy on the flank did not wait a similar movement, but retreated. They continued retiring before us, and permitted us, without any further opposition, except a distant cannonade, to take up a position about two miles from the citadel. Our advanced posts occupied the suburbs, and some small parties were posted close to the works; but in the evening the principal part of the suburbs was evacuated.
The next morning the enemy came out of the town, and attacked us with their whole force, about 6000 men, and a number of guns. They advanced in two columns; the right, consisting of cavalry, to turn our right flank, while the other, of infantry, attacked the left of our line; this column pushed in our advanced posts, and pressed so hard on our out picket of 400 men that Col. Browne, who commanded on the left, ordered three companies of the 40th, under Major Campbell, to their support; these companies fell in with the head of the column, and very bravely charged it; the charge was as gallantly received, and great numbers fell on both sides; at length the column began to give way, when it was suddenly and impetuously attacked in flank by the Rifle Corps, and the Light Battalion, which I ordered up, and directed to the particular point. The column now gave way on all sides, and pursued with great slaughter and the loss of a gun, to the town. The right column, observing the fate of their companion, rapidly retired, without coming into action.
The loss of the enemy was considerable, and has been estimated at 1500 men; their killed might amount to between 2 and 300; we have taken the same number of prisoners, but a principal part of the wounded got back into the town; I am happy to add that ours was comparatively trifling.
From the best information I could obtain, I was led to believe that the defences of Monte Video were weak, and the garrison by no means disposed to make an obstinate resistance; but I found the works truly respectable, with 160 pieces of cannon; and they were well defended.
On the 25th we opened batteries of four 24-pounders and 2 mortars, and all the frigates and smaller vessels came in, as close as they could with safety, and cannonaded the town. But finding that the garrison was not intimidated into a surrender, I constructed on the 28th, a battery of six 24-pounders within a thousand yards of the S. East bastion of the Citadel, which I was informed was in so weak a state that it might be easily breached. The parapet was soon in ruins, but the rampart received but little injury, and I was soon convinced that my means were unequal to a regular siege; the only prospect of success that presented itself was, to erect a battery as near as possible to a wall by the South Gate, that joins the works to the sea, and endeavour to breach it. This was effected by a six gun-battery, within 600 yards, and though it was exposed to a very superior fire of the enemy, which had been incessant during the whole of the siege, a breach was reported practicable on the 2d inst. Many reasons induced me not to delay the assault, though I was aware the troops would be exposed to a very heavy fire in approaching and mounting the breach. Orders were issued for the assault an hour before day-break the ensuing morning, and a summons was sent to the governor in the evening to surrender the town. To this message no answer was returned.
At the appointed hour the troops marched to the assault. They approached near the breach before they were discovered, when a destructive fire from every gun that could bear upon it, and from the musketry of the garrison, opened upon them.—Heavy as it was, our loss would have been comparatively trifling, if the breach had been open; but during the night, and under our fire, the enemy had barricaded it with hides, so as to render it nearly impracticable. The night was extremely dark. The head of the column missed the breach, and when it was approached it was so shut up, that it was mistaken for the untouched
wall. In this situation the troops remained under a heavy fire for a quarter of an hour, when the breach was discerned by Captain Renny, of the 40th light infantry, who pointed it out, and gloriously led as he mounted it. Our gallant soldiers rushed to it, and difficult as it was of access, forced their way into the town. Cannon were placed at the head of the principal streets, and their fire, for a short time was destructive; but the troops advanced in all directions, clearing the streets and batteries with their bayonets, and overturning their cannon. The 40th regiment, with Col. Brown, followed. They also missed the breach, and twice passed through the fire of their batteries before they found it.
The 87th regiment was posted near the North gate, which the troops who entered at the breach, were to open for them, but their ardour was so great they could not wait. They scaled the walls and entered the town as the troops within approached it. At day light, every thing was in our possession except the citadel, which made a shew of resistance, but soon surrendered, and early in the morning the town was quiet, and the women were peaceably walking the streets.
Return of killed, wounded and missing of the British army:—1 major, 4 capt. 3 lieutenants, 2 sergeants, 6 drummers, 126 rank and file, killed—2 lt. cols. 2 majors, 6 captains, 10 lieutenants, 5 ensigns, 4 staff, 20 sergeants, 6 drummers, 366 rank and file, wounded—8 rank and file missing. Cols. Vassal and Brownrigg died of their wounds. Maj. Dalrymple was killed. Maj. Tucker was wounded.
The Spaniards lost about 300 killed and 500 wounded. The Spanish Governor, with about 2000 Officers and men, were made prisoners. About 1500 Spanish soldiers escaped. 345 pieces of ordnance, howitzers, &c. were taken.
BY THE MAILS.
WASHINGTON CITY, MAY 22.
The circuit court for the Virginia district meet this day at Richmond. At this term it is expected will come on the important trial of Aaron Burr, unquestionably the most interesting which has occurred since the establishment of the general government.—Some days, it is presumed, will elapse before any material step will be taken in this case. The grand jury will probably be empanelled the first day of the term and bills laid before them. If sufficient evidence is then offered, and they are judged by them to be true bills, still it is most likely that time will be allowed for the full attendance of witnesses before the trial is entered upon. Messrs. Eaton, Truxton, Bollman and Swartwout, with others, have already passed on to Richmond, but we have not heard of the arrival of General Wilkinson, a witness, whose attendance will be indispensable.—Equally so will probably be that testimony which relates to the alleged overt acts committed on Blennerhasset's Island. It is supposed that Gen. Wilkinson has taken a water passage to the Atlantic states. If this is so, it will render the time of his arrival uncertain. From all these circumstances the public will probably be under the necessity of exercising their patience for some time.
WASHINGTON, MARCH 21st, 1807. General Andrew Jackson,
SIR—In my letter of December 3, answering yours, which offered the service of a corps of volunteers—I informed you that the legislature had then under consideration in what way they should authorize the executive to accept those patriotic tenders—They accordingly passed an act of which I now inclose you a copy.
Although the present state of things on the Mississippi does not threaten any immediate collision with our neighbors in that quarter, and it is our duty they should remain undisturbed until an amicable adjustment may take place; yet as this does not depend on ourselves alone, it is prudent to be prepared to meet any movements which may occur. The law of a former session of congress for keeping a body of 100,000 militia in readiness for service at a moment's warning, is still in force; but by the act now enclosed, the service of volunteers may be accepted, which will of course render a resort to the former act unnecessary. In consequence therefore, of the patriotic zeal which prompted your former offer, I now solicit your best endeavors towards carrying this act into execution. The persons who shall engage, will not be called from their homes until some aggression committed, or intended shall make it necessary. When called into action, it will not be for a lounging, but for an active and perhaps distant service. I know the effect of this consideration in kindling that ardour which prevails for this service, and I count on it for filling up the number requisite without delay. To yourselves I am sure it must be as desirable as it is to us, to transfer this service from the great mass of the militia under your charge to that portion of them to whose habits and enterprise, active and distant service is most congenial.
With respect to the organizing and officering those who shall be engaged within your state, the act itself will be your guide and as it is desirable we should be kept informed of the progress of this business, I must pray you to report the same from time to time to the secretary at war, who will cor-
respond with you on all the details arising out of it.
Accept my salutations and assurances of great Esteem and Respect, TH: JEFFERSON.

Melancholy Accident.—Drowned, on Sunday last, about one mile above the Rocks Bridge in Haverhill, Mr. Joshua Weed, Capt. Matthew Pettigill, Mr. Benjamin Coles, Mr. Wm. Hoit, Mr. Samuel Blanchard, and Mr. John Foss, all of Haverhill.—This unfortunate, melancholy accident was occasioned by the sinking of a boat. On Saturday evening, Mr. Weed, who was a master ship-builder at Haverhill, with his men brought a brig down the river, which they had launched, and yesterday were returning in a boat with eleven men, and reached about a mile above the bridge, when, having considerable sail on the boat and the wind blowing violently, the shiped a wave, filled and immediately sunk, near the middle of the river, when dreadful to relate, 6 men of the 11 were drowned. One of the men on reaching the shore alarmed the neighbors, who assembled and proceeded to the place, but alas, too late, the unfortunate men were sunk; search was immediately made for the bodies, and about three hours after the sad affair, when the gentleman who politely communicated to us the information, left the place, only one was found, the search for the others was continued. Mr. Weed was a worthy, industrious man, a ship-builder; four of the others were ship carpenters, and one a blacksmith. The loss of these respectable and valuable men, will be severely felt in Haverhill. They have all left families to mourn their sudden and melancholy loss.

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1807.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
AN arrival in New-York from Ireland, has brought London dates nineteen days later than before received. Nothing prominent had occurred in Poland, or Prussia—The French H. Q. were at Osterode, the 22d March: But it was said the right wing, under Massena, were making movements for an enterprise of great pith. Large reinforcements were continually pouring into the French lines; and it was reported, Bonaparte, to strengthen his Grand Army, had ordered the feiges of Dantzie, Colberg, &c. to be raised. The official report of the capture of Monte Video by the English, has been received. The affair was very bloody,—particulars of which will be found under our Foreign head.
Operations in the Mediterranean.
The British Government has received intelligence, that Admiral Louis and Sir S. Duckworth have forced the passage of the Dardanelles, reduced the fort to a heap of ruins, and taken ten sail of Turkish men of war—and that a British force was preparing to go before Constantinople—previous to which, however, the commander thought proper to send off a message to the Divan, with propositions of peace—the substance of which was, “that the English should retain possession of the Dardanelles till a general peace—and that Russia should keep possession of certain of the Turkish fortresses, till a general peace, as a security for the fidelity of the Porte.” [Salem paper.]
From Cobbett's [London] Weekly Register for January.
CONTINENTAL WAR.
I have this morning been reading some dozen columns of foreign intelligence, and some half dozen of newspaper comments thereon; and the conclusion, in my mind, is, that the reports communicated to the ministers, and published by them, on Saturday last, respecting the battles in Poland, are totally false ; and, that the French accounts of the operation in that country are substantially true . “If we deceive ourselves the ‘truth is not in us,’ and, surely, never were there poor wretches, who deceived themselves so grossly as we of this newspaper nation have done for these eighteen months past.
Seventeen times have we (not I, however) believed the emperor Napoleon to be completely overthrown; twice have we believed, that he himself was mortally wounded; and once, that his army were dead with the dysentery! His men are like Mr. Bays's; they rise up and fight after they are dead. I cautioned Mr. Perry against placing any very great reliance upon his favorite ally, the dysentery; for, I was apprehensive, that it would not, in a French army, operate as it did in the unswickler's army in Champagne. I perceive, however, thro' all the exultation of the Morning Chronicle, a consciousness that the government news is false. I see the sense and reason of Mr. Sparkle endeavoring to break through the cloud of his partner's stupidity. I see the difficulty that the former is in to know how he shall bring himself off. He is beginning to mutter his thoughts and to marshal his arguments for the purpose of securing a decent retreat. Hence it is, that we hear him say, “whether the government news be true or not, the French have suffered severe losses, there can be no doubt of that.”
Yes, there can, sir, and I entertain that doubt. I do not see any probability of their having suffered any loss at all; and what is more, I do not see any prospect of their suffering a loss, or of their career being stopped by any thing but the elements. It is impossible for us to know what the intentions of Napoleon are; but, my opinion is, that, if he has a design upon Russia, the French standards will be flying at St. Petersburg before May-day. Such are my fears, notwithstanding all the flowery prospects, which the newspapers present.
Our domestic tranquility will supply few facts to demand particular attention. The relative improvements are a subject of kind enquiry, and afford pleasure to the good citizen. From Ohio we learn, that the Chillicothe Dragons are an honour to our country, and would admit a most favourable comparison with such troops in any country. They propose to offer their services to the President. The military spirit is reviving in all the interior States. From Marietta we learn that they persevere in ship-building. On the 31st March, two ships of 130 tons, were launched in that place, and on April first, one of 300 tons, and on April second & third, two U. States Gun-Boats. They possess the best timber, and in abundance.—The last accounts from Tennessee assure us of their increasing population. The rich fields offer to industry all the earth can yield. The independence which is gained from domestic industry when it supplies the greatest wants, and leaves at our choice our dependance upon other men, is no where more truly known than among the prospering settlements of our new States. Our commercial cities begin to imitate, if not to rival, the proudest cities of Europe. [Salem Register.]
CONSUMPTION.
A cure for consumption has been lately announced in England by Mr. F. S. Stewart, of Billesley, in Essex, who was brought to the verge of the grave by a consumption of the lungs, and restored to perfect health, by eating three or four pints per day of ripe currants, white and red; he mentions other persons who have recovered from the disease by the same means.

Literary Intelligence. —It is with pleasure we announce to the public that the LIFE OF WASHINGTON, by Ramsay, is ready for and will be put to press in a few days in this city. Several gentlemen, who have seen the manuscript, do not hesitate to pronounce it what would naturally be expected from the author and the subject, a work of the most classic elegance. It will be comprised in one volume octavo, and printed in an elegant manner. Printers who insert the above will be complimented with a copy.—N. Y. paper.
A series of numbers have appeared in the Aurora, entitled “ Politics for Farmers .” We regret that the limits of our paper will not permit us to publish the whole of the numbers; but we shall occasionally present our readers with a number of them, persuaded that they will be read with much interest. Our readers will find that the number inserted in this day's Paper, touches on the excise in England. It cannot fail to be a warning to every American and to guard him against men who with systems of the same description to be introduced into our country. When we contrast the situation of the American farmer with that of the English farmer, surely no one would deny that we are the happiest people on the face of the globe. It can scarcely be believed, but it is the fact, that we have among us, and Americans too, who advocate such a system as is described in our preceding columns. But thanks to the wisdom of our councils, the advocates of excise , &c. are decreasing daily in our country, and the administration of Jefferson has contributed, in a great measure, to humble them in “dust and ashes.” We feel particular gratification in stating, that the editor of the Aurora, in consequence of the pressing solicitations from different parts of the union, intends to publish them in the pamphlet form. When this is done, every farmer will be enabled (and not one ought to neglect it) to procure a copy of this valuable and highly interesting work. [Northampton Farmer.]
The conduct of the British Sloop of War at Charleston, called the Driver , has excited much attention in the United States. If it can have given pleasure to some men, with the majority of our citizens it has tended to confirm those prejudices which at some future opportunity may produce serious effects. Some have said, if we had a navy we could repel such paltry insults. But we should remember, that a force less than that of all the world besides, could not avail to remove the cause. The Spaniards have at present a greater naval force than we can with to have for many years, and yet they were plundered on the high seas in time of peace, and then laughed at. The Danes were attacked in their own harbors, and when they resisted with dignity, they were betrayed into a truce, when in the arms of victory. It is absurd to talk of a navy in this business. It is a solemn warning to the nation, and the highest encomium upon the peaceful negotiations of our country. We are rising in competition with Great Britain in Commerce, and a rivalry cancels every obligation. We are to consider our condition with prudence, and to defend ourselves with virtue. For the honor of the British nation, it is to be hoped that these things originate in the passions of individuals; and for the honor of our country we hope they will receive universal disapprobation. But the day of vengeance will come. And the stone from the mountain may destroy the proud image, which has already discovered that it is part of iron and part of clay, and that if iron be in the hands, clay is in the head of it. We love peace, but we love our duty to our country. [Salem Register.]
MORE ROBBERIES.
Bath, (Maine) May 22, 1807. “Since I last wrote you we have had two more robberies. Mr. James M'Lellan's store has been opened with false keys, and about 60 or 70 dollars in specie taken therefrom—Capt. Tatman was robbed of his pocket-book and some money, between this town and Brunswick.” [Portland paper.]

Loss by the late fire of Dec'r 24, 1806.
It having been reported, that the sufferers by the late fire of December 24, 1806, have received a full indemnification for their losses, the committee appointed to receive donations in their behalf, beg leave to observe, that the total amount of loss, as by statements presented to the committee, is 71,776 dollars 12 cents; without the addition of 10,000 dollars and upwards which might as justly be added, by several individuals who have not as yet presented their claims; and at the same moment they assure the Citizens of the United States, that no more than 4300 dollars 19 cents has been received through the medium of public or private collections; leaving a balance of 67,475 dollars 93 cents unprovided for; and it is hoped that this statement may excite those to active exertions, who have hitherto declined to contribute, in consequence of the misinformation above alluded to. By order of the committee this 1st of June, 1807. CHARLES PEIRCE, Clerk. Those printers who please to republish this, will do a beneficial deed.

SONNET.
If life be vain, on what shall man depend? Depend on virtue. Virtue is a rock Which stands forever; bravely the frowning flood, And roar its awful brow, direct to heaven. Though virtue soar not from the grave, she gives Her services to the stars; she plucks the sting From the grim king of terrors; smoothes the bed Of anguish, and bids death, tho' dreadful, smile. Death smiles on virtue: And his visage, black Yet comely seems. A Christian scorns the bounds Where limited creation laid to Time, "Here I have end." Rapt rous, he looks beyond Or time or space; he triumphs o'er decay; And fills eternity; the next to God.
AGRICULTURAL.
The culture of fruit trees being an important object in every part of the United States, and in many of the old towns the scarcity of timber and fuel pointing to the necessity of rearing forest trees, I have observed with regret in every part of the country a great error in regard to the raising of trees of every kind—that is, in permitting the graft to grow near the body of young trees. Even the hardest for trees will not thrive well, unless the earth round them at least two or three feet, is kept loose and free from grass or weeds. For want of attention to this important circumstance, innumerable trees decay and die; and the growth of those which do not die is so slow, that the labor of the planter is nearly lost, as in that state it will require four times the number of years to rear them to maturity, that would be required if properly cultivated.
In planting trees, it is essential to their quick growth, that the holes be much larger than the extent of the roots—and that some rich earth be put into the holes. And let it be remembered, that the growth of trees may be increased by proper manure and culture, as much as other plants. Any person may ascertain this fact, by due attention to some trees, and neglect of others.
As the loss to the farmers is immense, in consequence of the error above mentioned, it is hoped that every printer may give these hints to his readers. A native Citizen.
N. B. It is computed that forest trees, to the value of two millions of dollars, might be annually raised in the old towns of the United States, without suffering the growth of any other productions, and without great expense—as the ground might be kept in proper order by the plough, where the trees are planted in rows. Many of the pastures would be benefited by being surrounded with forests; and their shade is refreshing to cattle, sheep and horses, and to all animals.
Whoever notices the decrease of timber and fuel in the old towns, and the increase of inhabitants, must view this as a very important concern; and lament that it is so generally neglected. The naked lands of Europe, once covered with trees, where millions of people can now scarcely obtain fuel to cook their victuals, afford a lesson for the people of this country. But our own experience may teach us with still more effect; within twenty years, wood has risen in price, in many towns, more than two hundred per cent. Surely then our domestic, as well as political and moral concerns require us to keep our eyes fixed on futurity.
PICKING AND CARDING MACHINE.
The subscriber respectfully informs the public, that his Carding Machine is now under complete operation, and he has concluded to reduce the price so as to Pick, Oil and Card, (having procured the best of Oil for the purpose) for the same price he formerly did the Carding only, which is ten cents per pound. He is now ready to receive any quantity of Wool to Manufacture on the above terms, which must appear obvious to all, to be a clear saving of near two hundred per cent, rather than hiring it done by hand,—He hopes the public will feel disposed to encourage so valuable a machine, and he will assure them that every favor will be gratefully acknowledged.

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. "Instead, 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, costiveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irritable propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowness is by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinged 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 dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy.
They are particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; excel wind in the easiest manner, without immoderately heating or inflaming 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, little effects 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 invigorating 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 vivants who wish for a delicious and delicate preparative 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 Vendor in all the principal towns in the New England States,—viz.—Mr. CHARLES PEIRCE, for Portsmouth, and Mr. JOSIAH GILMAN, for York, by whom the above may be had Wholesale and Retail.
ALSO FOR SALE AS ABOVE, SCOTCH OINTMENT. A safe, certain, and speedy cure for the ITCH. April 13—(3m.)
