Political Miscellany.
From the Aurora. [No. IV.] Of the American business in wood, provisions, horses, &c. and the carrying trade, as affected by the purchase of Louisiana.
THE ship building, coöperage and lumber business of the United States, or the manufacture and export trade in wood, in various forms, is an object of considerable importance to every port, county and state on the Atlantic rivers or on the Mississippi; to some of them it is of the utmost consequence. Had the province of Louisiana remained in the hands of France or been purchased or seized by Great Britain, the most injurious interference with the American lumber trade and manufactures of wood must sooner or later have certainly arisen. Those nations could have increased the impediments to the purchase of our ships by their citizens or subjects and they could have prohibited our slaves and heading, hoops, boards, scantling shingles and knocked down casks in all their colonies and ports. The evils, which the English mercantile writers foretold, (happily without verification) that we should sustain from the northern British colonies with regard to the lumber trade, would indeed have been fulfilled if England had accomplished her original design to seize Louisiana by corrupting our public and private men, or if she had succeeded in her late attempt to purchase that province, or if she had carried into successful execution the expedition to take it, which was formed in London in April or May. The states of New-Jersey and Delaware, the Maine district of Massachusetts, and most of the states would have deeply felt this evil. The vast carrying trade, which the eastern states and our ports in general enjoy in transporting every year millions of boards, scantling staves, hoops and shingles to foreign countries, would have been most seriously affected. The lumber of the Mississippi would have been carried in British ships only to British colonies and ports. The pine, oak and cedar of New Jersey, the cedar and other woods of Delaware, the pine and other woods of Maine, particularly, must have rotted on their hands. It is a deep error to suppose that the states have not each a great and real interest to this and other respects in keeping Louisiana out of the hands of any great and active power of Europe. The effects of the purchase of Louisiana upon the prices of grain, cattle, and fish, raised or caught by the people of the eastern and middle states will be very great and very favorable. The Americans are about five millions and one half. So many of them were employed on fishing, lumber cutting and raising grain and cattle, that the prices of fish, wood, bread-stuff and meat were likely to fall, when the cultivation of cotton was suddenly extended. Those who were formerly employed in raising, provisions and getting lumber, were taken off in great numbers from those employments and engaged in raising cotton. The soil and climate of the southern part of Louisiana being capable of producing sugar, coffee, cocoa, pimento and ginger, it is manifest many of our people who have raised provisions or got lumber and would have reduced the prices of those articles, will be engaged in raising sugar, coffee, cocoa, pimento, &c. so as not only to prevent the reduction on the prices of lumber, provision and cattle, but even to raise those prices. It is a certain truth in farming and planting, that the greater the variety of the good consumable articles we bring to market, the higher each will be. If all the Americans raised Indian corn and nothing else, we could not sell it. But, if they also raise fish, sugar, coffee, cocoa, rice, indigo, cotton, tobacco, wheat and other small grain, horses, sheep, horned cattle and swine, and make iron, lumber, and various manufactures, it is plain then the Indian corn they raise will not only be kept from falling in price but will actually be advanced in their markets. Seven years ago we raised no cotton, we now raise thirty millions of pounds weight, the people who raise this immense quantity of cotton are kept from fishing, lumber getting, raising cattle and grain. So that the Louisiana sugar, coffee, and cocoa
planters will not employ themselves in raising cattle and provisions, getting lumber or catching fish, but will often buy those articles from the more northern and eastern states.
COLUMBUS. [No. V.] The price contracted for Louisiana below the estimates of the federal members of our government, and for less than the expenses of an acquisition by force.
In a case involving the national peace, liberty & safety, much reliance may be reasonably placed upon the weight of the decided and unanimous opinions and arguments of eminent federal men among their own political connexion. Our republican administration are in this case supported by the highest federal authorities.
The 7th. resolution, proposed by James Ross, esquire, in the senate of the United States, was for a grant of five millions.—This was merely a step towards securing the natural and treaty right of deposit, by the seizure of New Orleans and some territory, which he did not define. It will be presumed that it extended to the whole country east of the Mississippi, including the island and city of New-Orleans. The nearly half of the territory we obtain by the purchase, has all the commercial and political advantages he proposed and ten times the capacity and extent of soil. We not only acquire in peace, an eternal confirmation of our right of navigation and deposit, but we appear to obtain the latter to the exclusion of Spain who must yet treat for it with the United States, if she does not cede to us the province of West Florida. Besides this first advance of five millions for an object much less extensive than we have bought, it is plain that we should still have been forced to ask a confirmation of it by treaty at the end of the war, which it must have produced between us and France and Spain and all the continent of Europe, whose effectual friendship to them has been since developed and manifested. We might have been forced to the expenses of an immediate and extensive Indian war. During that new and uncommon conflict, which has been lately commenced between France and G. Britain, and which seems likely to involve the most stupendous consequences and expenses of treasure and men beyond all limit or precedent, we must have kept up a costly war establishment on the distant waters of the Mississippi. The expenses of our Indian wars, and that of the militia army of 1794 (15,000 and not 50,000 men) during a few short months will enable us to calculate what might have come upon us. General Jackson of the senate from Georgia, offered an estimate of twenty millions of dollars for one year, calculating that such an annual expense would be incurred for at least five years. Tho' this estimate amounted to one hundred millions of dollars, no gentleman on the federal side of the senate thought himself authorised to question or deny, or to attempt to disprove, the soundness of the computation. One hundred millions in such a war, with the captures, derangements, deaths and destructions would of industry, which war produces, be a low estimate of our expenses and sufferings. Let us candidly and prudently contrast this with the peaceable acquisition of a populous city and territory so cheaply and so easily defensible, so fertile, so extensive, so complete a substitute for all those settled West-India plantations which Europe holds at a difference of annual expense of more than 15 millions of dollars. Great Britain spent more than twenty millions of dollars in her attempt to render St. Domingo independent, and did not effect her purpose. Such things will give us a fair measure of the expenses in a contest for a new territory of the Mississippi with two nations and their allies, dependants and friends; European and Indian. They will shew us plainly what a peaceable bargain for the object is worth to this young and industrious country.
Many things were affirmed by Mr. Ross which prove that we have not paid too dear for Louisiana. He stated the mere right of deposit as involving "the best interests of the country," not merely of the south-western part of it that the very suspension of it involved the immediate ruin of a
large part of our citizens, not only those in the western country, but those in our sea ports, who had trusted the western people with more than two millions of dollars in a single year, that the right of the river, the trade, &c. was not at all secured by the treaty, and of course a new one or war must be resorted to; that the right to the river and trade never would be secure while the mouth of the Mississippi was exclusively in the hands of the Spaniards. A treaty to purchase, or an expensive war to conquer and hold must therefore follow. Mr. Ross declared, "that the country on the east bank of the Mississippi (debates page 6) will give compactness and irrefragable strength to the United States; that we should be courted and respected for it in future European wars; that if the French got it, they would either annihilate our trade with their islands, or impose duties of 15 or 20 per cent upon it." Let the middle, northern and eastern states, and all the trading towns then consider their deep interest to have this purchase confirmed. This is no democratic argument: no Virginia device. It is federal argument; federal truth; federal prediction; federal calculation of the real interests of the West-India merchants and captains of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington.
Mr. Ross insisted (page 12) that by the small acquisition of country he proposed to make by seizure we should have "ample funds in our own hands to pay our merchants." Louisiana, so far as acquired upon those principles, must be considered then as by and with the previous advice and consent of the federal party. Mr. Ross declared his sole object to be the attainment of the river and deposit, including some eastern territorial acquisition which he deemed necessary to secure them. He never passed, by words, to the west of the river. We get by the treaty more than he described. Sources for all our supplies of sugars, molasses, coffee and tropical productions are thrown into our scale for a mere temporary advance of fifteen millions of dollars, which a tenth of the lands obtained will repay, faster than the purchase money falls due.
Samuel White, Esquire, one of the senators of the United States for Delaware, candidly declared the right to the Mississippi to be all important. He frankly expressed his convictions (page 25) that we could "never have permanent peace on our western waters, till we possess ourselves of New Orleans and such other possessions as may be necessary to give us the complete and absolute command of the Mississippi. These we have acquired and far more. Mr. White and the state he represents, have manifested an accurate sense of the national importance of the navigation and right of deposit of the Mississippi. He appeared to apprehend that these inestimable objects could not be obtained without a war. Tho' he greatly deprecated such a price, he appeared to consider it as the duty and interest of the nation to pay even the expenses of a war for the object, because he deemed the country around New Orleans to be the only key to the immense regions watered by the Mississippi and stated it to be larger than all Europe, surpassed by no country in fertility climate and most of it in a paradise. An advance of our treasury paper to the amount of 15 millions upon the basis of a moiety at least of such a country must appear to be an excellent negotiation. It is fair to observe that Mr. White's authority is truly and correctly federal, and that his personal interests and those of the state he has the honor to represent are as little as any other immediately connected with the Mississippi country. The sanction therefore may be considered as unadulterated and high.
Jonathan Mason, Esq. a senator from Massachusetts supported the importance of the Mississippi. He declared, that it could not be said to be exclusively important to the people in its vicinity, for, said Mr. Mason candidly, "it involves, directly or indirectly the whole of the states." Mr. Mason is decidedly a strong federal authority.
William H. Wells gave his decided opinion (with some of his brethren of

the federal party) that the Floridas must be attached to the United States, and that we should be compelled to possess ourselves of them. He treated the Mississippi as of the utmost importance, and well worthy the exertion of force, tho' the expenses of a war might plainly be the consequence. The national interest, which Mr. W. saw in the Mississippi case, appeared to leave him without a doubt or hesitation, about the impropriety of incurring the great expenses of a war—much less of a purchase, which the lands themselves would reimburse.
Mr. Ross of Pennsylvania, in his additional observations, (p. 112) in the clearest and roundest manner conveyed the idea that it was in vain to attempt to negotiate for the important and necessary objects we wanted, because the U. States, in his decided opinion, "could give no equivalent for the enviable dominion—because as he conceived, they had no equivalent." The surplus of their whole cash, income and credit must have appeared too little. He asked (with confidence that an immense sum must be mentioned by all sides.)—What would this Senate take for the surrender of such "an establishment" were it ours? He challenged every senator to declare by what rule of estimation he would fix a price to the object, so truly invaluable; did he believe it to be in the opinion of each of the members. The question after such language cannot be whether we ought to give for "the establishment and far more, fifteen millions of dollars in payments so easy, that a tenth of the land will produce the money, in time to discharge the instalments. Some provision for the first years interest may possibly be required from other sources.
The magnitude and value of our acquisition of Louisiana will appear from no federal authority, so strongly, as from Governor Morris, Esq. a senator from N. Y. He considered the subject as of great importance to other countries, but still greater to our own. He considered the acquisition of Louisiana by France as having been deeply hostile to us. 'Tis well we then have bought it. Mr. Morris predicted the exaction of a duty on our western produce, supplies and vessels at New Orleans by the French to pay the expense of her garrisons and civil administration. He asserted that the French would give or procure for our western people, (in favor of their produce only) a share in the exclusive supply of the French, Spanish and Dutch colonies, but in French, not American, vessels. This would ruin our carrying, provision and lumber trades. If such were to be our fate 15 millions are indeed nothing for it, and in view of Mr. Morris, the acquisition deeply concerns all our states, which catch fish, raise horses and cattle, and grain, export butter, lard, beef and pork, fish and lumber; and all our states and ports which build, own, or charter vessels. Mr. Morris justly observed that our revenue would be destroyed by these measures, and our means of naval defence be fearfully diminished. But, continues Mr. Morris "with the Mississippi country in our possession, we have means of defence more ample, more important, more easy than any nation on earth. In a short time all the West-India islands, fed from our granaries must depend upon our will, and in consequence all the powers of Europe who have colonies there, must court our friendship. Those rich sources of commercial importance (the foreign colonies, in the West Indies) will be, as it were, in our hands. They will be pledges for the amity of others in seas and dominions far remote. It is a defence which tho' it costs us nothing, is superior to fleets and armies. But let the resources of America be divided (which, continues Mr. Morris, must happen when the French are masters of New Orleans) and all this power and influence are gone. Were Mr. Morris still in the senate, there could not be a doubt, that he must frankly give his vote in favor of our purchase of this invaluable object, with all its great and various benefits, without the trouble of a debate. It may be sufficient to add that Mr. Governor Morris maintained, in the most explicit manner, that the tenure of New Orleans and settlement of Louisiana by the French would not only be fatal to our West India trade, but would produce the loss of the navigation of the eastern states, (worth now 15 millions of dollars) an arrestation of our revenues and power, certain interruptions to our peace, an essential dissolution of the union, and the sacrifice of our national liberty. With such copious, important and explicit information from our public debates in the last winter it would be wonderful indeed, had the government of France demanded less than fifteen millions of dollars; and had our ministers refused to give that price for New Orleans and Louisiana, the most powerful federalists must necessarily have impeached them of incapacity for four millions, or of treacherous designs on the national peace, prosperity and freedom. COLUMBUS.
For the N. H. GAZETTE. HONORIUS TO PHILANDER.
WISDOM, prudence and economy are as essential to nations as to individuals. If wanton, inconsiderate expenditures must eventually involve and impoverish the merchant, farmer or tradesman, the same must happen to the nation which makes an extravagant use of its income, and increases instead of diminishing its debts. The late system of policy in our Country, was opposed to every rule of prudence and economy. Our finances, instead of being circumscribed within the bounds which prudence and discretion prescribe, were extended to the utmost limits of our resources. The accounts of expenditures were involved in such mysterious obscurity, that it was impossible the People should discern in what manner and to what purposes their money was employed. We were rapidly advancing to the extravagant height of fiscal absurdity, practised by the British government, which has so deeply involved it, that the nation is become nearly if not completely bankrupt, and ruined. We were oppressed with heavy taxes, increasing in expenses and debts, and fast verging to irretrievable destruction, which nothing could have prevented but the change which has taken place of Officers and Measures. Expenses are now brought within rational limits, the Treasury Department investigated, and the statement of expenditures, debt and credit, rendered intelligible. Judgement, discernment and economy, in fiscal arrangements, are of momentous consequence to national prosperity; and this we have learned to realize from the humiliating circumstance of our being deeply plunged in debt by the prodigality of the late Administration. It now appears that a vast revenue was raised, and applied to purposes dishonourable to a Republican Government, and advantageous only to those who were seeking their own aggrandizement, and the destruction of Liberty. The investigation of the Treasury Department, has exposed the pretended Federalists and their financing projects in their true colours. The reasons of their opposition to the appointment of Mr. GALLATIN, now plainly appear. They dreaded their transactions should be fully brought to light. Mr. GALLATIN's communications have met with universal approbation. From long study he has become well acquainted with the finances of our Country. His abilities are as indispensable as his virtue and integrity; and the calumnies thrown out against him by his enemies, reverberate upon their own heads. The People are satisfied with the knowledge they have now obtained of the state of their public affairs on the accession of Mr. JEFFERSON to the Presidency, of the present state of the Treasury, of the economical measures pursued, of the President's political views, and his wise and energetic proceedings under the various embarrassments thrown in his way by his predecessor. His introduction to the chair was at a most interesting period—And as the genuine principles of Republicanism are now in operation, their happy effects are daily experienced both at home and abroad, confirming Citizens in their esteem and affection for the Government of their choice, and for the men they have advanced to the highest places of trust. So universal is this esteem and affection throughout the Union, and among all classes and denominations, that the hostile faction can have no consistent grounds of hope of regaining their former ascendancy; and are only influenced, in their various movements, by envy, malice and desperation. The following are indisputable facts, which ought to produce in those men a very different temper and conduct. The first is, That a vast majority of the People are satisfied with their form of Government and the present Administration of it, and their love and regard for both daily increases.—2d. The minority are guilty of a breach of the laws of Morality and Religion, in opposing, in the manner they do, the government and its administrators. 3d. The evil consequences to themselves, of such opposition, will be equal to its malignity and baseness. It is a grievous offence to the Supreme Being, for men to be active in disturbing the peace and happiness of a virtuous and industrious nation, in endeavours to overthrow a Free Government, and undermine its Officers, whose conduct is universally approved and applauded. The criminality of Parricides is of the greatest magnitude, and should strike terror in the hearts of those who are essaying to ruin their Country. If these truths were realized by them, they must cease from their diabolical purposes, and in future endeavour to atone, to the utmost of their power, for the mischiefs they have perpetrated. Such a conviction, though not an utter impossibility, would however be of the nature of a miracle.—It was an observation just and highly interesting, towards the close of your letter, that we, whose rational and sublime system of government induces us to acknowledge no other Lord than the Supreme Author of the Universe, must be ever solicitous, that our acknowledgment of Him, manifests itself in those works and labours of love which include every public and private virtue; without which no man can be a true Republican, nor can he enjoy any real felicity. The DEITY requires of us both public and private virtue, only because they are indispensably essential to our happiness. Without justice, benevolence, temperance, man cannot be acceptable to his GOD, nor pleased with himself, because without the constant exercise of those virtues, it is impossible he should enjoy his existence. We indeed owe our love and respect to the Supreme Being, and to each other, by that love to and respect for ourselves, which influence us to the practice of those virtues by which our private and our mutual happiness are promoted. A constant dependence on THAT HEAVEN, to which we appealed in our Revolutionary War, is indispensably necessary to our enjoyment of civil, domestic and personal happiness. To neglect the DEITY, is to neglect ourselves: and if we should be neglected by HIM who sustains universal existence, our civil, domestic, and personal felicities, must be lost in tremendous ruin. You were led to these reflections from your observations on the slanderous aspersions thrown out against the PRESIDENT and our principal men, representing them as enemies to Religion. The absurdity of endeavouring to persuade our sensible Citizens into such an opinion, is very obvious. Those truly great men are too well acquainted with their own nature not to perceive their relationship to DEITY, and that beings capable of the sweet endearments of friendship and society, are not to be deprived of so happy an exaltation, nor of increasing perfection in a more refined state; the prospect of which compleats the happiness we feel in the blessings which Freedom and our Country yield.—We want, and we hope to see that Religion exhibited and illustrated both in doctrine and practice, which shall charm and allure all mankind. With regard to which, let none of us be wanting to ourselves.
If we realize the inestimable value of Liberty, from a retrospective view of the dreadful miseries which tyranny and wanton cruelty have inflicted on mankind in past times, as well as the exquisite sufferings endured by one thousand of our friends and Fellow-Citizens, in the Revolutionary War, from the lustful rage of the tyrants and disturbers of the world—fecunds of horror and woe which ought frequently to be called to mind—and likewise from the reflection that such, and worse if possible, may become our own terrible lot, if, through our neglect of watchfulness, and every patriotic and divine exertion, becoming a people, Heaven has so richly blessed, our Liberty should be destroyed;—then we shall not be wanting to ourselves; but aspire to the perfection of public and private virtue, under the auspices of that infinitely benevolent Being whom virtue delights.—May we ever be alive to these important and affecting truths! Though you are removing to a far distant part of our Country, I hope still to enjoy the pleasure of your correspondence. The calm and unresisted Freedom, with which you communicate your sentiments on the most interesting subjects, yield a felicity, the loss of which I should deeply deplore. Whether present or absent, "the happiest moments are those which are given to the effusions of the heart."—We must by no means suffer the remotest distance to deprive us of those blissful moments. I am ever yours, HONORIUS. P.S. I have just received yours, inclosing your Address to our Countrymen, which I shall not be wanting in my endeavours to communicate to the Public.—It is worthy of the attention of every friend to his Country. I hope you will continue it in your next.
The following is the ADDRESS. FELLOW-CITIZENS.
WE are now arrived at a most important crisis, which demands that all our energies be awakened to the utmost exertion for the preservation of that Liberty for which we fought and bled, and suffered in the extreme, and which through every formidable opposition we have obtained. The peace of Nations is again broken by the restless fons of ambition, and war is rekindling with new horrors. An unprincipled faction, in the midst of us, is exerting all its powers to involve us in European contests, and to subvert our system of government, founded on the principles of Liberty, and that philanthropy which extends its benign and salutary influences to all mankind. Our enemies, like the powers of darkness, go up and down through our country, like roaring lions, breathing slaughter and desolation. Every infernal engine is set to work, to effect the most inhuman and diabolical purposes. Can any of us be insensible to so alarming a reality? Are there still any among the friends of our free government, who are deluded by the misrepresentations and sophistical reasonings of those factious writers, who are daily abusing the liberty of the press, by disseminating their pernicious principles and slanderous aspersions against our Government and its Administrators? What have they advanced against our government, but what militates against the freedom and happiness of mankind? Examine and judge for yourselves. If you are deceived and misled, you must be the sufferers. Be aware of the danger of imposition! Beware of the fatal consequences of taking a wrong direction, and of being influenced to act to the ruin of your dearest interests! Your enemies endeavour to persuade you, that an alliance with England against France is the desideratum of the wisest and the largest number of your countrymen, that the advocates for a government, like that of the British, are the true sons of Freedom, and that every public measure, conducive to our honor, security and felicity, was in direct opposition to the principles of a representative democracy. They aim to excite in you an abhorrence of a Democratic Republic, because they know Liberty can be maintained on no other. Your freedom and the freedom of mankind, is what they hate and war against. You ought therefore to be on your guard, to make serious and diligent enquiry, before you embrace opinions propagated, [as you will find to be the case,] for the most inhuman purposes. Those who hastily adopt the principles of others, where their most important interests are concerned, will find cause for bitter repentance. Our Constitutions were framed by the wisest and best of men. WASHINGTON has left it in solemn charge to his Countrymen, sacredly to maintain and preserve them. An elective Democracy was the government his heart preferred, and he conducted with a wisdom and integrity, from which though others have veered, yet the present Administration are influenced by the same virtues; On which account our enemies are continually venting against them the most scandalous slanders. Could they root out the principles which effected our Revolution, and on which our Government is founded, they would accomplish all their wishes. Liberty would no longer bless the American soil; Farewell to the peaceful scenes of life, and all the invaluable blessings and sublime enjoyments we contemplated, when we assumed our independent station among the nations of the earth! ERRATA—In the Ode on the 4th of July, inserted in the last Gazette, line 13th from the bottom, read Those instead of Tho'.

The following Proclamation was issued by Gen. MORTIER, when he invaded Hanover. Edward Mortier, Lieutenant-General, Commander in Chief, to the inhabitants of the Electorate of Hanover. HANOVERIANS.
A French army is entering your territory, not to spread consternation, but to withdraw that portion of the continent which you inhabit from a Government that has proved itself an enemy to the peace of Europe, and that prides itself on trampling under foot all the principles on which are founded the rights of nations and individuals. The First Consul, faithful to those sentiments of moderation and humanity which place him in as exalted a rank as his political and warlike talents, has in vain exhausted every means of conciliation to prevent a rupture. The King of England, not blushing to perjure his most solemn engagements, has falsified his signature in refusing to evacuate Malta, although solemnly bound to this evacuation by the treaty of Amiens; he has already given the signal for hostilities, and must therefore henceforth be responsible both to God and man for those calamities which the scourge of war is about to draw down upon all those states that are subject to his Government. I am informed that proclamations have been made to you dictated by the blindest fury, in order to induce you to engage in a struggle, foreign to your interests, and of which you alone will be the victims. Hanoverians, I promise you safety and protection if, consulting your real interest, you separate your cause from that of a foreigner who, in bursting asunder all the ties of good faith, has thereby released you from that attachment which you might have thought it a duty to bear to him. The most severe discipline reigns throughout the troops under my command. Your persons and property shall be respected; but in return, I require from you such proceedings as I have a right to expect from a peaceable people. ED. MORTIER.
Gen. MORTIER to the Minister of War. Head-quarters, Nienburg, 15 Prairial, June 4.
I had the honor to give you an account, in my letter of the 8th Prairial, of the march of the French Army towards the Hanoverian territory. After very fatiguing marches across arid lands and boggy heaths I took up my position on the 11th in front of Wechte. I learned from good information that the enemy guarded the line of la Hunte. Gen. Hammerstein, commanding the advanced guard of the army of the king of England, occupied Diepholz, with the 2d and 6th regiments of infantry, two regiments of cavalry and one division of artillery. I made preparations to dislodge him on the following morning. The 2d division commanded by Gen. Schiner, that of cavalry under the orders of Gen. Nansouty, received orders to march against Goldenstedt, to force the passage of la Hunte, and to push forward to Sulingen, in order to cut off all communication between that place and Diepholz, which the division of Gen. Montrichard had orders to attack by main force. The enemy perceiving that by this movement their right wing was turned, retreated during the night to Borsten. On the 12th, the advanced guard, commanded by Gen. Dronet, had a smart skirmish, in front of Banver with the rear guard of the enemy. On the 13th, the main body of the army assembled in front of Sulingen; the advanced guard directed its march towards Borsten; here it met the enemy, and in spite of their superior numbers, and its own extreme fatigue, having that day marched not less than twelve leagues, Gen. Dronet, gave orders to attack. The enemy kept up a very hot cannonade.—Some squadrons of the 2d regiment of hussars, charged the light dragoons of the 9th regiment with great courage. They broke the line of this body, put them to flight and made many prisoners. Having been informed by my spies, that the head of the bridge of Nienburg had been repaired, and that the enemy had united all their artillery upon the right bank of the Weser, I felt most necessary it was for me to hasten my motions. For this purpose I gave orders for the artillery of reserve to move forward with all haste, and made the necessary preparations to drive and throw into the Weser every thing before me, to force the head of the bridge at Nienburg or to pass the ferry at Stolzenau, and by that means to intercept the communication with the capital. The troops were already on their march, when the civil and military deputies presented themselves before my advanced posts; they entreated me to suspend my march, announcing to me that they had very advantageous proposals to make. I answered in the negative; they returned to make me fresh proposals; I signified to them, that I expected none, unless I had the certainty of immediately occupying the country of Hanover, and particularly all the strong places within its dependencies. After a pretty long discussion, they signed a convention; which I accept under the condition that it would be accepted by the respective governments. You will see by it that the army of the king of England are prisoners of war; that I am master of all this country, and particularly of the mouths of the Elbe and the Weser. I have given orders to seize all the shipping in these rivers. The Duke of Cambridge, the king of England's son and Governor of Hanover, judged proper to resign his commission before the battle and to make his retreat in post. He had, however, promised to die with the levy en masse; It is probable he may have embarked before we arrive at the mouth of the Elbe. At Nienburg we found fourteen thousand stand of arms quite new, and a large quantity of artillery.—According to the accounts delivered to me, I presume that, in the magazines and fortified places of Hanover, I shall find about a hundred thousand stand of arms, and more than a thousand pieces of ordnance. After to-morrow, I will be in the town of Hanover, the continental
Capital of the king of England. I have found a considerable number of horses to remount the cavalry and the train of artillery. I owe great praises to the care and zeal of General Dulauloy. I have the honor to salute you. EDWARD MORTIER.
Convention agreed upon between the Civil and Military Deputies of the Regency of Hanover, and the Lieut. Gen. MORTIER, Commander in Chief of the French Army.
Art. 1st. Hanover shall be occupied by the French army, as likewise the forts which depend on it. 2d. The Hanoverian troops shall retire behind the Elbe. They shall engage on their parole of honor not to commit hostilities nor to bear arms against the French army and its allies, so long as the war between France and England shall continue. They shall not be discharged from this engagement, until after having been exchanged against as many French General Officers, non-commissioned Officers, privates or seamen, as England may have at its disposition. 3d. No individual of the Hanoverian troops shall have liberty to quit the place assigned him without the Commander in Chief being previously informed thereof. 4th. The Hanoverian army shall march out with the honors of war; the regiments shall carry with them their field pieces. 5th. The artillery, powder, arms and ammunition of every kind, shall be left at the disposition of the French army. 6th. All effects whatsoever, belonging to the king of England, shall be left at the disposal of the French army. 7th. Sequestration shall be put on every military chest, that of the academy shall preserve its destination. 8th. Every English military man or agent, whatsoever, in the pay of England, shall be arrested by order of the Commander in Chief, and sent to France. 9th. The General, Commander in Chief, reserves to himself the right of making in the Governments and authorities constituted by the Elector such a change as he shall think proper. 10th. All the French cavalry shall be remounted at the expense of Hanover; the Electorate shall provide equally for the pay, equipment and provisioning of the French army. 11th. The worship of the different religious denominations shall be maintained on the footing established. 12th.

The authority of the existing Government of the Electorate shall cease in the country occupied by the French troops. 15th. The General, Commander in Chief, shall levy on the Electorate of Hanover, such a contribution as he shall judge necessary for the wants of the army. 16th. Every article on which there shall arise any doubt shall be favorably interpreted to the inhabitants of the Electorate. 17th. The foregoing articles shall not be prejudicial to the stipulations which may have been decreed in favour of the Electorate between the First Consul and any mediating power. Head Quarters, Sulingen, 14th Prairial, year 11th, (3d. June, 1803.) With reserve for the approbation of the First Consul. The Lt. General Commander in Chief, (Signed) ED. MORTIER. F. de BARMER, Judge of the Electoral Court of Justice, and Provincial Counsellor. G. de BOCH. June 10.—The following Circular has been written by the First Consul to the Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops of France. MONSIEUR, The motives of the present war are known to all Europe. The bad faith of the king of England, who has violated the facility of treaties in refusing to restore Malta to the order of St. John of Jerusalem—and who has attacked our commercial vessels without a previous declaration of war; the necessity of a just defence; all these oblige us to resort to arms.—I have sent this letter to convey to you my request, that you would direct that prayers be offered up for the benediction of Heaven upon our enterprises. The proofs I have received of your zeal for the service of the state, assure me, you will conform with pleasure to my intention. (Signed) BONAPARTE. Written at St. Cloud, the 18th Prairial. GENOA, May 19.—We have accounts from Malta, that the plague has broken out there; and that more than 60 of the garrison die daily. It has communicated itself to the inhabitants; and the communication between Malta and Sicily has been stopped. The Narcissus, English frigate, on the 19th conveyed two English vessels from our port, for Naples. PARIS, June 4.—The Prefect of Police has ordered the construction of gun-boats at Paris, from the contributions already made at the Prefecture. Patriotic Gifts to Government are daily made.—The following are amongst the foremost—a first rate man of war, by the Conservatoire Senat; one of 200 guns by the trade of Paris; a 44 gun frigate by the trade of Anvers; a frigate by the department of Loire; and another frigate by the department of Maine and Loire. The St. Julien, a Spanish man of war has arrived at Cadiz, from Veracruz, with 2,684,118 dollars, 300 quintals of copper and 14 casks of cochineal, on account of the Spanish Government. LONDON, June 9.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor, attended by the Aldermen, and other city officers, repaired in state to St. James's where his Majesty being seated on his throne, the address of the city of London, was presented. This address breathes the most unshaken loyalty; and promises a support of the war; and that the addressors feel a grateful pride in the assurance of kindred loyalty throughout the kingdom. HOUSE OF COMMONS. June 10. The National Defense Bill passed without amendment. Sir PHILIP STEVENS, moved for an additional vote of 40,000 seamen, including

5,000 marines, for seven months. Colonel WOOD, with the number of marines to be 20,000 — the Secretary of War, observed, that the 5th marines was the usual proportion; but if necessarily required in, their numbers could be augmented. This supply was voted, and increases the seamen to 120,000. The necessary sums were then voted.
June 11.—Yesterday the gentlemen we propose bidding for the new loan, waited upon the minister, who informed them its amount would be Twelve Millions. The terms were to be 80 three per cent. consols, for every 100l. sterling. The biddings to be upon the long annuities.
The contractors asked whether any more money would be wanted in the year? To which no direct answer was given: But the Minister stated, that it was his intention to pay off Ten Millions of Exchequer Bills, and to make a fresh issue of Five Millions, and he would ask for a vote of Credit for Two and a Half Millions more; and in case the Bank could not renew the Million and a Half which is now held, he should feel himself obliged to add that amount to the fresh issue. He thus meant to pay off Ten Millions of Exchequer Bills, and the fresh issue might amount to Nine, but possibly not to much.
JUNE 14. Hanover has been surrendered to the French under the most humiliating and disgraceful conditions ever prescribed to a country. The great powers of the Continent, after a solemn pledge to maintain the integrity and independence of the Germanic Empire, suffered Hanover to become a prey to invasion, for which there did not exist a single pretext arising out of justice or common honesty.
It was yesterday reported that Twenty Thousand British Troops are to be sent to Portugal with all possible expedition, for the defence of that kingdom against any attack of the French.
WAR WITH HOLLAND.
JUNE 17. Lord HAWKESBURY, at the bar of the House, preferred the following most gracious Message from his Majesty:
GEORGE R.
His Majesty thinks it right to inform the House of Commons, that, from an anxious desire to prevent the calamities of War being extended to the Batavian Republic, he communicated to that Government his disposition to respect their Neutrality, provided that a similar disposition was manifested on the part of the French Government, and that the French Forces were forthwith withdrawn from the territories of the Batavian Republic. This proposition not having been admitted by the Government of France, and measures having been recently taken by them, in direct violation of the Independence of the Batavian Republic, his Majesty judged it expedient to direct his Ministers to leave the Hague; and he has since given orders, that Letters of Marque and General Reprisals should be issued against the Batavian Republic and its Subjects.
His Majesty has at all times manifested the deepest and most lively interest for the prosperity and independence of the United Provinces. He has recourse to these proceedings with the most sincere regret, but the conduct of the French government has left him no alternative; and in adopting these measures he is actuated by a sense of what is due to his own dignity, and to the security and essential interests of his dominions.
[After the message was read, an address of thanks for the communication passed nemine contradicente.]
BREMEN & HAMBURG TAKEN
JUNE 28. The Hamburg Mail brings the following article of intelligence:
"BREMEN, June 5, (12 o'clock at Night.) — Yesterday evening a French General entered this City. He immediately waited on the Chief Burgomaster and desired that all English property here, under whatever denomination it might be, should be taken possession of: And that all English sailors at present in this place, as well as all other persons belonging to the English service, should be put under arrest. As soon as this demand was made, the officer who had come with it, went away to Gen. Morier."
What answer was given to this insolent and audacious request, we are not informed; and what number of English persons, or quantity of English property, might be at this time in Bremen, we cannot pretend to calculate. But, be that as it may, this outrage will not be confined to British subjects; some pretext will soon be found to involve the natives themselves in the confiscation.
There is little doubt but the same measure will take place at Hamburg, which City, it was generally thought would escape the danger that threatened it; but we are sorry to add, that such an expectation must be disappointed, as the FRENCH TROOPS TOOK POSSESSION OF IT on Sunday last, the 12th inst.
DENMARK.
A letter from Menz, May 31, say, "a proposal has been made by the French government to stop the passage of the Sound, and all access to the Baltic for English vessels." We have little doubt, that the French government seriously entertains this project. The assenting to it on the part of Denmark, would be a declaration of war against England.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
NEW-YORK, August 6. Captain Bragdon, of the ship Tho's Gordon, from Lisbon, informs, that an English frigate of 44 guns, commanded by Capt. Woodward, out 12 hours from that place, bound to Gibraltar, was cast away on Cape St. Vincent—crew all saved.
We were last evening favoured with a Demerara paper of June 25, which contains a proclamation, permitting the persons who import provisions and lumber to take sugar in payment for one half the amount, calculated at the invoice prices, (the other half to be received in rum, or other payment,) which sugar may be exported, paying in cash, 6 per cent. duty, at the rate of the colony prices. This regulation is to continue 'till favourable accounts are received from Europe.
AUGUST 7. By the Alknomac, Capt. Gore, from Jamaica, we have received Kingston and Montego-Bay papers to the 9th, from which we have extracted the following articles:
KINGSTON, July 9.
The Cumberland, at the commencement of her cruise, having been despatched took into the French ports of St. Domingo, observed 7 sail of the line, 6 frigates and several small vessels, lying in the harbour of Cape Francois. On looking in a few days after, they perceived that during their absence, a lugger had got in from France, supposed to have brought orders to Admiral Latouche Treville, to put that place in a state of defence in consequence of the little likelihood that at that time appeared of an amicable issue to the negotiation. The batteries were immediately mounted with cannon, and five sail of the line shortly after slipped out for France; but as Admiral Cornwallis had, by our last accounts, failed to resume his old station off Brest, we hope he has ere this been able to give a good account of them. Two frigates, having under their convoy a ship with sick troops on board, also failed for France, a few weeks since.
When L'Aiguille brig left the squadron, they were in chase of two French frigates and several other vessels. We are informed by Capt. Gore, from Jamaica, that about forty sail of French prizes had been sent into the port of Kingston, within two weeks; amongst which were, one French frigate, two sloops of war, and several valuable merchantmen, bound from St. Domingo, for ports in France.
MONTEGO-BAY, July 9.
The Ann, from London, touched at Nevis, where information had been received from St. Kitts, that two French frigates and two transports, with troops, had been detained at Barbadoes, by our men of war.
A letter received from Kingston by the last post, mentions, that the homeward bound fleet, consisting of near 70 sail, were off Cape Donna Maria, on the 26th ult. with six sail of the line, who were to see them safe through the passage.
Capt. Myers, from Cette, has bro't out dispatches for the French and Spanish ministers residing in the United States. He informs us, that Italian troops were daily arriving—and that the French troops were working day and night, on the forts & batteries.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1803.
Capt. Thomas, arrived, at New-York the 9th inst. in 16 days from St. John, (N. B.) informs, that he went into Holmes Hole, on the 4th inst. and that the ship Juno, of Boston, had just arrived there from Cape Francois, with Gen. Rochambeau, and his friend, on board; they having made their escape from St. Domingo.
In the British Packet from Falmouth, arrived at New-York, came passenger, P. Pederson, Esq. Charge d'Affaires to the United States from Denmark.
The U. States Frigate Constitution, Commodore Preble, dropped down to the Roads Friday morning last and put to sea, for the Mediterranean.
The sloop of war Syren, was launched at Philadelphia on Saturday last. She will sail for the Mediterranean in a few days under the command of Capt. Stewart.—The U. S. Schooner Mixen, Lt. Smith, failed from Baltimore on the 3d inst. for the Mediterranean. These vessels belong to Commodore Preble's squadron.
The federal tories are enraged with Mr. Jefferson, for not taking a part with their Royal Master the King of England, against the French Republic in the present war. They will never forgive the Frenchmen for assisting this country in its glorious and successful struggle for Independence, we could forgive their enmity to the French nation if it was grounded on any other principle but their strong attachment for their MOTHER COUNTRY, and it is this that establishes the principle beyond the possibility of a doubt. They had some hopes of a war with the French Republic under the last administration, and the late dispute respecting Louisiana, gave them some small prospect, that a rupture with that nation would eventually be the result; but all their hopes are now vanished, like the "baseless fabric of a vision." They are now almost become desperate, we advise them to embark for HOME, and enlist under the banners of the invincible Duke of York, and invade France; as nothing but chagrin and mortification will be their portion in this, forever, we trust destined republic of America.
ACCIDENT.
As the United States Schooner Vixen, was saluting the town on Wednesday last, the gunner's mate put the match to the bow gun, without observing that a man was standing on the mouldings charging—By the discharge, the man's arm was understood was carried off above the elbow, being struck by the rammer, which he had not withdrawn. The man was blown into the water. Mr. Smith, lieutenant and commander, made every personal exertion to save the man, but was unsuccessful; a negro on board jumped over and supported the sailor until the boat picked them up. He only said it was hard that he had been compelled to fight both for the British and the French and now, when he hoped to be of use to his country, to be laid up in dock without seeing a single broadside.

Port of Portsmouth—August 16, 1803.
Arrived here on Wednesday last, under jury masts, the brig Washington, S. Hutchings commander, who on the morning of the 5th inst. was by a sudden squall, hove upon her beam ends, and in 5 minutes the vessel was filled with water—they cut away the weather land yards, the masts they could not get at being 4 feet under water, she lay in this situation 3 hours when the mast broke off in the partners and she righted full of water, with all her bread and water gone, and after great exertions at the pumps, for 12 hours, they freed her; on Saturday morning they endeavoured to save as much of the rigging and sails as they could—by 4 o'clock in the afternoon they had saved some of the sails and as much of the rigging and spars as to enable them to erect jury masts—at 5 o'clock in the afternoon he was spoke by Capt. Sam'l Storer, of Portland, who ordered Capt. H. to send his boat on board of him, which he did, being in distress for provisions (having lost all) with which Capt. Storer supplied him and then left him.
Saturday arrived brig Little Cherub, Capt. Appleton, in 40 days from Jamaica.

The child was saved; the mother died.

Those furious legislators now, No longer can be jolly; The world will damn their wretched schemes As wildest of all folly.
Yankey doodle let us sing, Jefferson's the dandy, Nor Rofs, nor twice his thousand men Can do a thing so handy.

For the GAZETTE. Thoughts on the modern warm Controversy respecting BAPTISM.
[No. 1.] MODERN Pedobaptists take ground which they cannot maintain—their opponents perceive this and make their advantage of it. These Pedobaptists practise and contend for such infant-baptism as the scripture will not warrant, but condemn.—They set out with the principle that the infants of believers are subjects of baptism. But their practice outruns the principle; a corrupt practice often seeks shelter under a good principle. And in this case, under colour of the right of believers, baptism is extended to unbelievers, yea to the majority of the unbelieving ungodly world.
This is a known fact, which no man who knows the way of the religious ungodly world can doubt for a moment. Almost any man who does not openly deny the truth of the bible, may have his child baptized among Pedobaptists—this is in effect confessed. The famous Hopkins in his system says, "it is a common practice to baptize the children of those who are not visible believers."—This is in other words, of visible unbelievers—Of those says he "who do not obey CHRIST, in attending upon all his institutions, and in many instances are in other respects immoral."—And speaking of the Rite for he says, "the baptism of children is generally among them treated as a mere ceremony." According to him these things are common and general. After these notorious and conceded facts, who can deny that the ordinance of baptism is for unworthy interested purposes, prostituted to the ungodly world? To those who in a vague, loose sense are called christian or believing people, and yet as we have seen are confessed to be visible unbelievers ? It would be vain for the strictest sort, to endeavour at exempting themselves, so long as they admit the baptism of the grosser, looser sort to be christian baptism. And they do admit the notorious prostitution of it in the church of England, where every attendant on their preaching and flicker for their prelaty and liturgy, their rites and traditions, is a member of the church initiated to ordinances; and they also admit the monstrous profane baptism of the Romish church, to be the baptism of CHRIST—and would call it re-baptizing, to baptize a Convert coming out from that church. Thus though they know the judgment of GOD, they either do these things themselves, or join with, and have pleasure in them who do them.
I am now prepared to say, with confidence, and the scripture will support me in the assertion; that the baptism of infants, practiced among modern Pedobaptists, is a horrid profanation of an ordinance of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. And the weakest believer may boldly challenge them to produce warrant for it from the word of GOD. The Baptists have seen this profanation, and are not the only persons who feel and express indignation at it. A view of this doublet led the Baptists to set up what they call believers baptism in opposition; and they have succeeded in their argument, so far at least, as to shew the baptism of their opponents to be unbelievers baptism .
The Baptists address their opponents on this point; On your principles no adult would ever be baptized, except Heathen, Turks and open Infidels. The reply such as it is, this is; we are on both sides perfectly agreed as to adult or believers baptism, we practise it and baptize adults if they have not been baptized before. You do not if they have; therefore there is no dispute but merely about infant baptism.—And all the texts you quote for believers baptism make nothing against us. Edwards dwells and triumphs on this—but he has small cause of triumph. There is a difference even respecting adult baptism, and he does not and cannot prove there is none. For should the Baptists admit the baptism of believers children, there would remain myriads of the children of open unbelievers, said to have been christened—Any of these, on their professing to believe, the Baptists we speak of, on his principles would baptize; for this reason, that being the children of unbelievers, they never were before subjects of baptism, to never had been baptized. On the other hand Edwards would not baptize them, because upon his principles they had been baptized in
infancy—And to baptize them now, would in his view be anabaptism or re-baptizing—Thus there is a question between them even concerning adult baptism—And the texts which connect faith and baptism have force against modern Pedobaptists, tho' not against those who confine infant baptism to the children of believers.

NEW and USEFUL.
THE subscribers have purchased the right of using and vending to others to be used, KENNEDY'S PATENT WINDOW SPRINGS, in the counties of Rockingham and Strafford, in New-Hampshire, and the District of Maine, except the towns of Berwick, Sanford and Wells. The object of this invention was to furnish a secure fastener for Windows, and convenient machinery to raise and lower both the upper and lower Sash, and by the assistance of Springs to support it at any height that is wished.
Gentlemen, who have viewed Windows fitted with these Springs, are of opinion that the invention will be of great utility, and acknowledge that the design of the inventor is completely accomplished. The expense of fitting a Window with these Springs is but about a fourth part to much as that of weights and lines; at the same time more durable and less liable to accidental injury. Old windows may be fitted with Springs as well as new ones.
Those who wish to purchase Springs, or to have them put on, may apply to any one of the subscribers, who have associated themselves in a company, in the above purchase, and in this business will use the signature of ELISHA WHIDDEN & Co.
