Is there not some chosen curse, some hidden thunders in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man who owes "his greatness to his country's ruin?" To contract this severe anathema against Ingrates and Parricides, with how much more pleasure, could we wish the richest of blessings in the gifts of heaven may be poured down on the heads of those men who shall strive to preserve their fellow citizens from the devouring jaws of speculating schemers, avaricious usurers, and the two powerful influence of party-spirited men who carry their passions and prejudices against each other, more for the gratification of their private interest than for the advancement of the public good. Surely there are gentlemen to be found in every State, and every town in each State, who can divest themselves of every prejudice which stands in competition with the real interest of their fellow citizens. To what cause is to be attributed the universal complaints of the people against the public Banks? and that the more they have increased, the less do their bills appear in circulation, in so much that those once salutary institutions are universally decried as injurious and subversive of their first principles—and the influence of their Stockholders in the Massachusetts legislature, have even procured a law against the currency of Mr. Gray and other gentlemen's notes, under five Dollars, which were emitted for the benefit of their fellow citizens to go to the market with, and which had obtained a currency equal to silver and gold. Thus are the public deprived of every effort made by their friends to relieve their wants; and to this issue will the event terminate. That the people will cry aloud and spare not—their difficulties are too apparent and the increase of law-suits will loudly call them to pay homage to those real not nominal patriots to issue their patriotic notes, to enable their fellow citizens to procure a currency.—Since the Banks of the many public Banks are not more than sufficient for their own stock holders to speculate with, and they are so jealous of each other, they are afraid to discount only by checks. happy would it be for the people if such patriotic gentlemen as Messrs. Gray, Eaton, Prince, Tabor, &c. would appear amongst us for those republican and beneficial purposes, to enable their fellow men to enjoy the comforts of life, but unfortunately for the people, the rich men in all the States are mostly Stockholders, and would discourage the currency of these patriotic notes, by their exertions to prevent it; but we may remark that virtue and confidence are not wholly confined to their riches, but gentlemen may be found in every State and in every town in each State of unstrained integrity, in whom we may repose an unlimited confidence, that they will not issue any notes more than they have a capital to redeem them with and thus be of equal value with any Bank notes. AMICUS.
The foregoing speculation came too late for our last Gazette, since which we have received the following upon the same subject.
Messrs. Printers,
Since I sent you a few reflections on the present deranged state of our currency—I have seen the private notes of Mr. John Davenport, of this town, a gentleman well known for possessing a valuable real property, whose patriotism has tempted him to issue his notes payable on demand, and are as good as any bank note in the Union, and more so on some accounts. Bank notes are issued upon selfish views while Mr. Davenport's cannot be thought so, and any gentleman who can obtain the confidence of his fellow men might do the same. Here we may see a citizen coming forward with an established credit to relieve his brethren with a currency, as far as he can with prudence to his credit, and from the credit given them in currency by many of our traders, we may receive some relief from the prevailing stagnation of bank property—since this gentleman has come forward at this season, we hope to see a generous return from his townsmen, and instead of checking them in their circulation or attempting to depreciate them, they may answer the valuable purpose of redeeming dormant notes, which every man is more or less possessed of; and if associations could be formed to support their currency, and that they could be effectively applied to that end, many thousands of those dormant notes may be taken up by the rapid circulation of any medium for that purpose—we have reasons to believe that Mr. Davenport does not wish to extend his views to any great length but to confine them to his own place of abode, and that other towns would produce gentlemen of the same patriotic principles.—They must expect the influence of all the banks will be urged against these volunteers in the public service.
and should that influence prevail, we hope the banking interest will be bro't to consider that they were not incorporated solely for their own private interest but for the benefit of their fellow citizens—The original institutions of public banks were intended for the patriotic views of furnishing the public with the means of supplying a medium for trade and commerce, and for promoting the agricultural interest, and while they were confined to a few, they were esteemed and respected; but now they are considered as injurious and dangerous to each other, and while their prevailing prejudices continue, the banking interest is not so profitable to some of their stockholders as to others. AMICUS.
From the Aurora.
A new republican news-paper, called the EVENING POST, has just been commenced at Baltimore—we have received the two first numbers, which bear marks of considerable intelligence and firmness in its editor, two qualities peculiarly necessary at the present critical moment of parties and consequently of public affairs. We cannot too strongly recommend this paper to the republicans of Baltimore, and we sincerely wish it patronage as its utility promises to be general.
Among other matter, in the second number of the Evening Post, we find these well timed observations:
It is curious to observe in how many different lights error, at various times, will be seen, whilst truth is always immovable—Federalism, as applied to the views and tenets of a certain party "means any thing or nothing;" and from its defenders may be selected— Tories, monarchists, aristocrats and Federal Republicans. One publication keeps up the church and state—"Great is Diana of the Ephesians," say they. Others are always praising the charms of monarchy, the gratification there is in beholding the pomp of a court, the farcical pageantry of a voluptuous aristocracy, and the consequent misery of the people, whom they have the boldness to insult, by calling "the swinish multitude." Another holds up the Britannic constitution, as the very aim of perfection, as a model by which all other countries should be ruled; forgetting that liberty and property in England are at the mercy of tyrants, who rob them under the name of law, and render the miserable more wretched.—And there are many, it is to be hoped, of the last enumeration, who although they adhere to the name, respect the rights, rejoice in the liberty, and exult in the happiness of their race wherever they see it increasing.
But wearied with the cant of the word "Federalism," and perceiving that the mask is now seen through, another body is forming among us, who arrogate to themselves the title of "Constitutional Republicans," thereby deceiving the superficial, the unwary, and the unthinking.—Mere name charmed by a sound, and the name will attach numbers, who, in course of time will leave them again. Those who feel their love to their country, who delight in its prosperity, who are desirous to promote its best interests, and who care not who govern them, provided they have correct views of the constitution, and the hearts of patriots are willing to be called democrats—Conscious of their own integrity, they care not how they are styled—whilst the enemies of the liberty secured by the constitution, are always cloaking their sinister designs under some specious name, that the watchfulness of those who strive to preserve the rights which they enjoy, might be lulled a sleep, the encroachment of others pass unnoticed, and the devices of our enemies considered requisite to defend the country, which they assert without their interference, would be totally ruined.
Against all of whatever name they may be, who usurp the most honorable title to veil their ambition, it behoves us to be upon our guard, continually bearing in our remembrance that when those who call themselves Constitutional Republicans were in office, our rights decreased, our taxes augmented and our perions were, for a frank avowal of our opinions, exposed to the enjoyment of all the blessings of solitary confinement.
CHRISTOPHER CAUSTIC.
We have seen a string of doggerel rhymes, from the pen of the Author of "Terrible Transformations,"—illustrated by extracts from the Federal papers for two years past, in the form of Notes. This catch-penny jumble is called "Democracy Unveiled."—We recommend it to the attention of our readers, for two reasons. One is, that we know the writer is an object of charity, and really needs the proceeds of the work;—and the other, that the hireling has fully shown the malignity, and exposed the principles, of his masters. The name of this scribbler is THOMAS G. FESSENDEN. His history is said to be briefly thus—Some years since, finding no other avenue either to fame and subsistence
open, he exerted his energies in the construction of a wonderful hydraulic machine, with which he potted from his native state, Vermont to London.—When he arrived there he found his darling and novel invention, as common as a pump. Disconcerted in this scheme for aggrandizement, he contrived to get employment as superintendent in the building of some mills. Great skill and ingenuity was, no doubt, employed in their formation; and the only objection—a lac-a-day—was—they would not go. After this, as if destined to be the supporter of "all things, vain and unprofitable"—Mr. F. was engaged to write a poetical vindication of—PERKIN's Metalic Points. In this undertaking he was fortunate. Notwithstanding the wretched quackery he defended, his poem became popular. Puffed with success, he returned to his native country; and, for sometime past, has been Head-Scavenger to the Palladium. This employment, probably, not being sufficiently lucrative, he has hit on this publication as the means of seeking out a subsistence. He is not to be blamed.—The poor fellow must eat and we could not have designated a more worthy advocate of Federal principles; than the projector of immovable mills, and the vindicator of PERKIN's Tractors. (National Aegis.)
A political intolerance, as despotic as wicked!!!
Federal caustics have puzzled their brains, for a long time, to find some illustration of the meaning of this phrase. In all humility, we venture to call their attention to an incident, which took place, in this town, at the last term of the Court of Common Pleas. It will serve, at least, to display the temper of mind, which marks the conduct of certain Federal gentlemen.
The H-o-n-o-r-a-b-l-e Chief Justice of the C. C. P. on Court-week, went into the Shop of an honest and industrious mechanic of this town, who has lately commenced business.—This man, though irreproachable in his character, has the misfortune to follow the dictates of his own judgment, and repose confidence in the General Administration. In a word he is guilty of the high-crime of being a—Republican. "Mr. A," said the pompous Ex-Senator "I believe I have been wrong in encouraging you in your business, and recommending your work." "How, Sir, has not the work answered your expectations?" "That is not the point" rejoined the great man, "but I understand you are a DEMOCRAT!!" "Well, Sir, I hope that does not injure my wares." "I don't know," concluded the sapient Judge—"I think no DEMOCRAT ought ever to be trusted!!!!"
What an impartial, unprejudiced, unbiased, candid Judge must a man be—who could thus endeavour to effect the opinion of an independent citizen, by the influence of his office, and the weight of his character! : ibid.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
Letter from the emperor of France to the king of England.
SIR, MY BROTHER, Called to the throne of France by Providence by the suffrages of the senate, the people and the army, my first sentiment is the wish of peace. France and England are wearing out their prosperity; they may contend for ages. But their governments, do they fulfil the most sacred of their duties? and so much blood shed unnecessarily; and without any prospect of an end, does it not accuse them in their own conscience?—I attach no dishonor upon making the first step. I have sufficiently, I think, proved to the world that I fear not any of the chances of war; it offers me nothing of which I ought to be afraid. Peace is the wish of my heart; but has never been adverse to my glory. I conjure your majesty not to refuse to yourself the happiness of giving peace to the world: let not this sweet satisfaction be left to your children. For, in short, there never existed a fairer opportunity or a more favorable moment to put an end to all the passions, and to listen only to the sentiment of humanity and of reason.—This moment once lost, what term of duration can be assigned to a war which all my efforts shall have been unable to bring to a close? your majesty has gained more in territory & in riches during the last ten years than the whole extent of Europe; your nation is at the highest point of prosperity. What is she to expect from war? To coalesce some of the powers of the continent? The continent will remain tranquil. A coalition would only increase the preponderance and continental grandeur of France. To renew the troubles of the interior? The times are no longer the same. To destroy our finances? Finances founded upon good agriculture can never be destroyed. To deprive France of her colonies? The colonies are with France only a secondary object; and does not your majesty possess already more than
you can maintain? If your majesty will think seriously you will perceive the war is without an object, and without any presumable result. Alas! What a melancholy prospect, to make men fight for the sake of fighting! The world is large enough for our two nations to live in, and reason is sufficiently powerful, to find out the means of reconciling if a suitable disposition to be reconciled exists on both sides. I have mean while fulfilled a duty holy and precious to my heart. May your majesty believe in the sincerity of the sentiments I have just expressed to you, and in my desire of giving you proofs of it.
Paris, 12th Nivose, year 13, (Jan. 2, 1805.) Signed, NAPOLEON.
BALTIMORE, APRIL 10.
By captain Edwards, we learn, that a division of the Haytian army had succeeded in taking Port au Plate, and the town of St. Jago, after a most dreadful and desperate resistance from the whites; all of which, men, women and children, were put to the sword. The Haytians lost one of their generals and about 1800 men.
But one division of the Haytian army had made their appearance—it was expected that no attack would be made on the city of St. Domingo, until the remainder arrived. No apprehensions were entertained of the blacks taking the place, as they had plenty of ammunition and men, and every precaution was taken to put the place in the best state of defence possible. All the vessels were ordered out of port, to leave no hopes for retreat. The women, children, and property, were to a large amount sent to Porto Rico, some of which was intercepted by the British and sent to Jamaica. Captain E. was boarded by the Stork sloop of war, coming out of St. Domingo, but finding no money on board, suffered him to proceed. There was no blockade.
RICHMOND, APRIL 6.
A legacy of 800 dollars has lately been bequeathed to the venerable and highly respected Gabriel Jones, Esq. which he has given to the Philadelphia Dispensary, and the Free Orphan School, of this city.
PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 9.
If any person can inform us under what pretence the English cruisers take our vessels trading to St. Domingo, and send them to Halifax, the information would oblige us; as it is out of our power to conjecture.
APRIL 12.
Two vessels have in the course of the present week arrived from Point Petre, Guadalupe, one of which, whilst lying there, lost three and the other two of their crews with the yellow fever, which it seems existed with symptoms of great virulence. The vessels before reaching any wharf, were remanded to the Lazaretto to receive the proper process of purification.
NEW-YORK, APRIL 15.
At the date of our last advices from the city of St. Domingo, the Haytian army, after capturing two or three places in the neighbourhood, were approaching the city. The American and other vessels had been put in requisition, and had conveyed the women and children to Porto Rico. Gen. Ferrand had sent away every vessel, that his troops, &c. having no chance for retreat, might fight the more desperately.
BOSTON, APRIL 17.
Capt. Tucker, of the schr. Enterprise, arrived at this port yesterday from Salou, informs, that an English ship and brig belonging to the 30 sail of Merchantmen which were taken by the French, on their way from Malta bound home, were sent into Malaga the day previous to his departure from that place and adds, that he received information from the consul, at Malaga, of 24 sail of the above fleet being taken, and sent into different Spanish ports. Could learn nothing from the squadron in the Mediterranean, as he was but a short time in Malaga.
Capt. Gray, of the brig Sally, who arrived at this port, on Saturday, from Berbice, informs, that when he left that place, every preparation was making to defend it, against the French fleet, which was daily expected there from Cayenne; and that a short time previous to his departure, official information was received at Berbice, of the sailing of two French frigates, and eight transports with about nine thousand troops on board, from Martinico, bound to Cayenne, and from thence it is supposed they were destined for Berbice, which it was thought would surrender immediately: and they were to attack Demerara, soon afterwards—In consequence of the above, Martial Law was declared at Barbadoes, Demerara and Berbice, and all means adopted for a vigorous defence.
Late from EUROPE. APRIL 22.
AN arrival at New York, in 35 days from Glasgow, has furnished London dates to the 6th March;—which are more than twenty days later than before received. They, however, do not furnish any very interesting intelligence.
The destination of the Rochefort squadron, had occasioned much conjecture and speculation; but it was certain, Rear-Admiral Cochrane, with six sail of the line, had been ordered to the West Indies in search of the French. [This squadron was certainly seen off Madeira, about the 22th March, standing to the westward.]
There was no new prospect of pacific negotiation—The British government, however, appear to be waiting the answers of the Russian Emperor, on Bonaparte's communication to the King:—And it was stated, that at the instigation of France, Russia had consented to become a Mediator between her and England.
It was supposed Portugal would speedily enter the war-lists—Her government had offended the British, by suffering the inflammatory Manifesto of the Spanish Generalissimo to be inserted in the Court Gazette;—by ordering all the Spanish prizes taken by the English to quit her ports; and by forbidding any more being brought in.
FROM ST. DOMINGO.
We have various accounts:—From them it may be gathered, that the black army, under Christophe, had appeared before the city of St. Domingo; after having taken St. Jago, and Port-au Plate:—That the loss of the blacks had been severe:—That the shipping, with the women and children, had all been ordered from the port:—That the city was garrisoned with nearly 4000 French and Spaniards, plentifully supplied; and that it was expected the blacks would immediately attempt to carry the place by storm.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Capt. John Shaw is appointed to the command of the United States frigate John Adams of 32 guns, in the room of Capt. Chauncy, resigned. Capt. S. has took the command of the frigate at New York; and it is said, will sail for the Mediterranean the 1st May.
The gun-boat, (No. 8) building in this town, we are told will be launched this week. She will be commanded by Capt. Harradan, and will sail for the Mediterranean, about the 1st May.
The keels of two gun brigs are to be immediately laid in this town.
Andrew Allen, jun. Esq. is appointed by His Britannic Majesty, British Consul for the States of Massachusetts, New-Hampshire, Rhode-Island and Connecticut. Boston paper.
It is stated in the Washington Federalist, that Com. Preble is to be appointed Secretary of the Navy, in the room of Jacob Crowninshield, Esq. who declines accepting the office.
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
A number of men digging up the earth, in this town, for the purpose of making an aqueduct thro' Mr. Daniel Waldron's land, discovered a vein of dark brown sand running from east to west, much impregnated with quick-silver, of the best quality. Upon close inspection globules of this metal were found dispersed through this vein from the size of the smallest grain of sand to that of duck shot—which leaves no room to doubt, but upon further attention, larger quantities may be discovered, and prove beneficial to the owner of the land. (Dover Sun.)

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1805.
Extract from a letter wrote by a Citizen in a distant part of this State to a friend in this town.
"The political situation of our country, both at home and abroad, prefaces to us every thing our hearts can wish. —The prospect of Col. Langdon's being advanced to the chair of government in this State, will be a source of joy truly exhilarating to all hearty Republicans. It is an honor he has richly merited. And we anticipate from his future services to the public a new and glorious scene of felicity in N. Hampshire, and our country already so richly blessed under the administration of Jefferson and his illustrious friends, among whom Col. Langdon has ever been most eminently distinguished for his virtue and probity, his abilities and patriotic exertions—and posterity will gratefully recollect how much they were indebted to so worthy and valuable a citizen. It is well known among you, my friend, that in spite of every opposition, Mr. LANGDON came forward in the cause of liberty and his country, unappalled by the menaces and formidable appearance of the British tyrant; and ready to every duty, equally regardless of danger or personal profits, has continued invariably fixed and determined in the principles on which our government is founded. It is in this resplendent light he has been viewed from the commencement of our contest with the enemies of our liberties to the present moment. And I heartily congratulate you and my fellow citizens on the undoubted prospect of his advancement to the head of our state government, and his future usefulness in the great body of our nation. Long may he live an ornament and blessing to our country and to mankind."
Massachusetts Election.
We congratulate our Republican readers on the prospect of the Massachusetts election. Although the probability is that Mr. Strong will continue our Governor for one year longer; still, (as we heretofore predicted,) it will terminate propitious to the cause of unsophisticated liberty. The federalists appear to be flushed with the issue of the election; but the more discerning of their party are tremblingly aware to the acquisition of correct information, since the last Gubernatorial Election; which has awoke the "Sleeping Sampsons," laid siege to the prop of the enemy's Strong hold, and will soon force the towering battlements of Aristocracy to yield to the Citizen-Soldiers of Liberty. Let the Republicans bear this animating truth in recollection; that one more victory such as the FEDERALISTS have just now obtained, will accomplish the COMPLETE OVERTHROW of FEDERALISM.
Votes for Governor, in three hundred and ninety three towns, give Mr. Sullivan, 32,315 Governor Strong, 33,462 Boston Demeurat.
New-Hampshire GAZETTE.
Nath'l S. Peirce and Samuel Gardner, having commenced partnership in the publication of the New-Hampshire Gazette, and the printing of books, pamphlets, blanks, handbills, and all other kinds of typographical Printing.—In which profession they tender the public their services.
The Conditions on which the New-Hampshire Gazette will be published, are as follows:—
1. To subscribers who have their papers directed, and receive them at the office, one dollar and fifty cents per annum,—fifty cents paid in advance, the remainder at the end of the year.
2. Newspapers done up in bundles, and directed to any particular place in a town, without additional cost—whenever sent single or in bundles to post-offices, the subscribers must pay postage.
3. All advertisements from the country must be paid for when sent, or left for publication.
4. When it is considered that the Editors are making weekly advances for paper, labor, &c. and that on failure of punctual payment on their part, interest, or an advanced price is expected—so it is reasonable on the other hand, and it will be expected that all subscribers who do not pay for their papers within three months from the time that payment becomes due, will be charged twenty five cents in addition to the stipulated price per annum, with interest from the time that payment ought to have been made.
Post-riders will be supplied with papers on reasonable terms, on quarterly or half yearly credit; on giving bonds for a punctual discharge of their accounts at the above periods.
Town Subscribers will be presented with their accounts every six months.
And every person now a subscriber for the Gazette, will still be held as such, unless they come forward and balance their accounts, and express a wish to have their papers discontinued.
It is grateful to the true patriot and philanthropist to reflect that while the hot-headed partisans of our Country, callous to every feeling of humanity, are for kindling up the flames of war, and rendering our land a field of blood, there are wise and virtuous men of the federal party, who are conscientious and prudent, some of whom have already listed under the banner of republicanism, from a full conviction of its rationality and sublimity, and of the wisdom of the measures adopted and pursued by our government, since the introduction of Jefferson to the Chief Magistracy. Mighty is the force, and resolute the evidence of truth on minds seeking to know and embrace it.
MARINE MEMORANDA.
At Madeira. March 12, ship Woonsocket, Randal, of Portsmouth, put in distress, had repaired, and was to sail next day. The French cruizers in the Eastern Seas, have had better luck than in any other quarter. The English have had a "sleepy admiral" in that quarter, who is now recalled, and his place supplied by a dashing commander. The French squadron, under Linois, and the 18c. of France privateers, have sent into that island the following British ships, viz. Upton Castle, and Charlotte, Bombay ships, loaded with rice; Pearl, Hope, Princess Charlotte, Nancy, Creole, Fly (a Cruizer), Fame, Sterling-Castle, Mornington, James Sibbald, Friendship, Margaret, and Two Arabs.
MARRIED.
In Paris, Count RUMFORD, to the widow of M. VARESSY, by which he obtains a fortune of 8000. per ann. —This is evidently the most effective of all the Rumfordizing projects for keeping a house warm!
DIED.
In England, Sir RICHARD PEARSON, who, in the American war, fought 7 hours in the Serapis frigate, against Paul Jones, in the Bon Homme Richard.
At Philadelphia, Mr. WILLIAM SPOTSWOOD, printer, late of Boston.

On Tuesday last, Mr. COLLIN LINA CAMPBELL, aged 48 years a native of Old England —A child of Mr. John Jones.
On Saturday last, Mr. SAM'L PENHALLOW, jr. merchant, aged 48. His late distressing sickness has proved him an example of patience and gratitude. He was a social companion and consistent republican. —Urbane and philanthropy were conspicuous traits in the character of this gentleman. —He possessed a feeling heart and a liberal soul. The unfortunate (whether meritorious or the reverse) drew from him the rear of sympathy, and always to the extreme of his abilities, experienced his humanity and benevolence; nor was his usefulness confined to this class of citizens only—his gentlemanly deportment, modest assurance, and brilliant wit, insured him a favorable reception in polite circles of felicity and joy. —Duty and inclination led him to the recesses of misery, and to the mansions of the affluent; in both, his purposes were effected, by alleviating the sorrows of the one, and increasing the joys of the other. The design of his creation, he conceived, was to promote his own and the happiness of others; his motives and general conduct he presumed were not incompatible with this hypothesis—As imperfection is the lot of mortals, the real christian will therefore exercise charity on all occasions, and will also applaud those laudable and useful principles above recited. The funeral of Mr. P. will proceed from his father's house this afternoon, at half past 4 o'clock, where his friends and relations will have the last opportunity of paying their respects to the remains of the deceased.

PUBLIC notice is hereby given, that Maj.

ORDERED—that the petitioners be heard before the General Court on the second Wednesday of their next Session, and that the petitioners cause the substance of said petition, and order of Court thereon, to be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, and like advertisements posted up in Lee, Nottingham, & Deerfield, three weeks successively, commencing six weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.
