REV. MR. ALDEN'S ACADEMY FOR MASTERS AND MISSES.
THE object of this institution is to teach, in separate apartments, both sexes in the same branches, which are usually taught at the most noted academies in the United States; so that the masters may have opportunity to prepare for the counting room or for college, and the misses for acquiring such an education, as to preclude the necessity of going abroad for that purpose.
As much time is reserved for vacations, and as much also is devoted to the business of instruction, as is customary at other academies.
EVERY pupil, who has never been under MR. ALDEN'S tuition, pays one dollar at entrance.
THE masters pay seven dollars a quarter.
THE misses, who attend to the instructions of the preceptor and to common needlework, pay six dollars a quarter. Those who attend to the ornamental branches of needlework, pay the additional sum of a dollar, that is, seven dollars a quarter.
EACH pupil pays twenty five cents for room rent.
THOSE, who wish to take lessons on the piano forte can receive instructions from MR. HOLYOKE by paying three dollars, at entrance, and fifty cents a lesson.
MR. ALDEN has two keyed instruments, of which his pupils can have the use, at three dollars a quarter.
MR. ALDEN has accommodations for boarding a number of misses, at three dollars a week. Their washing is done, at fifty cents a dozen.
A preceptress, of the desired accomplishments and of experience, has been engaged for the summer establishment, which commences on the fourteenth of April.
AN assistant preceptor, of liberal education and abilities, will be employed.
SHOULD the encouragement be equal to what MR. ALDEN has reason to anticipate, an assistant preceptress will also aid in carrying on this institution. 3d March, 1807.

From the Litchfield Witness.
The following dialogue between an honest federalist and an inquisitive republican exhibits much of the difference between the parties in Connecticut.
Republican.—Do you believe that the common federalists in the state understand the principles and objects of your leading federalists?
Federalist.—They certainly do not understand them—they are not capable of comprehending found principles of government; they must rely on men of information, and follow them.
Rep. Would it not be honest for you to tell your principles plainly to the people?
Fed. We have no principles of which we are ashamed—but it would answer no good purpose to enter into explanations with the common people.
Rep. But do not the "common people" support the government—and are they not entitled to whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Fed. The common people are entitled to be governed upon found, rational principles.
Rep. What are those principles?
Fed. You know what I was in principle before and during the revolution. I was a monarchist, and am so still. The government of the world is monarchical—all the respectable states of the world are monarchies. I now call myself a federalist, and believe as
they do; and they believe and act as I do—you never heard me call myself a federal republican; for I am in no respect a Republican. Republics may last for a little time; but they cannot be durable. Frequent elections are more dangerous than standing armies. Power must be vested in some one. Men of education, wealth and of influential families, will sooner or later get the power, in every country; and they ought to have it; they were born to govern; others were born to obey. You now understand what I mean by found, rational principles.
Rep. But are these the principles of 1776?
Fed. Surely they are not. The principles of 1776 were too full of your liberty and equality for my notion.
Rep. Are your "found principles" those of the constitution of the United States?
Fed. Certainly not. I was an enemy to that constitution, because it guaranteed to every state in the union a republican form of government. I abhor all paper constitutions; they are too easily read; they impose undue shackles upon the ruling powers; they give occasion to clamour against the government. If Connecticut had what is called a constitution of civil government, I would emigrate to Canada. Property is never secure, so long as the rich and the learned in society can be called to order by the poor and illiterate.—
Rep. Then you acknowledge that Connecticut has no Constitution?
Fed. No man ever heard me call the old Charter or the Bill of Rights, or certain usages, a constitution. When the justices were removed I declared to you and others that they ought to be removed for their perverse political sentiments, and for trying to get power out of the hands of their betters! but I frankly declared that Connecticut had no Constitution.
Rep. You always had the credit of frankness: now tell me plainly, do our Governor and Council and Members of Congress and Judges and federal Lawyers, think as you do?
Fed. You see me often among those men; we visit together; we make up tickets and vote together; we rejoice together over the successes of England; and we mourn together over her adversities. I am proud to say that we harmonize in all respects; and am more proud because I have been uniform in my political course. I held no office and did no business through the war: these federalists, (whom I consider, between you and I, as a second rate set of monarchists) were pretending to be whigs; and some of them were active and violent against the principles which they now support. I am proud of their repentance—and there is another class of men whose influence in favor of monarchy is worth more than all the rest. They are what your party profanely call the political clergy. With all my moderation, I would freely have executed some of your party for their attacks upon this excellent class of men—monarchs and thrones are more indebted to them than to armies and nobility.
Rep. Then you contend that clergymen have a right to act as politicians?
Fed. I contend that clergymen are in the world, and that they have wives and children and some property in it; and that they have their feelings as well as other men. The old Saybrook Platform ministers are all monarchists; the platform itself is a perfect model of monarchy. The common people may find some among the humbler orders of ministry who profess to be republicans; but look to the head of our College, and of our Episcopal Church; do you see any thing like republicanism in those high places?
Rep. But the clergy pay no taxes, and therefore ought not to be represented.
Fed. That is one of your '76 doctrines, which I do not believe in.
Rep. But the gospel seems to be against clergymen's busy themselves with politics.
Fed. That may be or may not be. I am no theologian; but am a thorough, open monarchist; commonly called a federalist. I was always sorry to leave George III—but as that is done, it is my wish to have a king, or a president for life, or something else than a miserable representative democracy.
Rep. I have long been persuaded that the leading federalists of this state were monarchists and that their followers were ignorant of this fact; but have never before heard it acknowledged by one of the party.
Fed. I have always told the federal leaders to come out boldly and avow their principles. I endeavored to shame some of them out of the means of calling themselves federal republicans.—Federalism, as explained and practised by Mr. Adams, was the young growth of monarchy. If the leaders of his administration had come out boldly and told the people, that a republican government was not worth the trouble of experiment, and that a monarchy was the only legitimate government, they would have been in power at this day. Mr. Adams would have borne the title of his majesty JOHN the first, of America; we should have had an alliance offensive and defensive with the mistress of the ocean. In the act of besieging slowly the public mind, the federalists were suspected of some dark work, and buried suddenly in the trenches.—Want of courage to storm the public mind was the ruin of the best hopes of the country. Hamilton, Ross, Morris and Dayton would have leveled us to glory; but those who ought to have followed were panic struck.
Rep. Then you approve Adam's administration?
Fed. He made an excellent beginning—eight years more would have crowned the work.
Rep. If you are right in all this, how comes it to pass that so many states, and so many governors and legislatures are republican—and how happens it that Mr. Jefferson was re-elected by 162 votes against 14?
Fed. Precisely because in this country 162 parts out of 176 are weak and illiterate, and consequently democratic. The 14 parts represent the men, whose right it is to govern. When those who ought to obey set up to rule; and those who ought to rule are forced to obey, every thing will go wrong, and you will have just such men as Jefferson, Madison, Gallatin, &c. at the head of affairs!
Rep. But the people are relieved from some burdens, and the national debt is diminished.
Fed. These are only the tricks of Demagogues! a people relieved from burdens will be clamorous about liberty and equality; and the reduction of a national debt destroys the stability of government.—England, that wonder of the world, has a national debt of 5 or 6 hundred millions sterling—annually increasing—and the addition of every hundred million has added to her strength. All the cardinal measures of Mr. Adams tended to this great and much desired object; but those of Mr. Jefferson tend directly to the contrary; and if our national debt should, through the weakness of democracy, be entirely paid off, any president, after that time, would be no more than first citizen of the country, for the time being!
Rep. Are you perfectly persuaded that the leading federalists in this state will agree with you in these explanations?
Fed. Beyond all question, if they will disclose as honestly as I have endeavored to do. It is not their interest to conceal! they have had an awful example of the danger of concealing their principles: the people here cannot long be deceived by the name of federal Republicans; they already discern more than their votes tell us of.—I do not hesitate to allow, that a great majority of the common people are republicans; we have too many demagogues among us. My policy would have saved federalism forever in Connecticut; and it may yet be saved, if the leading federalists will but universally declare in favor of monarchy; if they will universally declare that Mr. Adams's book written in praise of the British monarchical form of government is their "political bible."
The influence of the clergy is still considerable—the influence of the lawyers is great—the privileged orders in this state are numerous and weighty—the power of bestowing offices has effect—political rumors are very useful—decisions of courts may aid the cause—if Moses and Aaron will be awake and united, my principles will continue to prevail;—but rest assured that monarchy is the life and soul of Connecticut federalism.—I say this is pride of heart, and (the cant of jacobins notwithstanding) to the honor of the Trumbulls, the Treadwells, and Elsworths, who preside over the destinies of our state.

LITERARY.
PROSPECTUS
OF LEWIS & CLARK'S TOUR TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN , through the interior of the Continent of North America, performed by order of the Government of the United States, during the years 1804, 1805, and 1806.
This work will be prepared by captain Meriwether Lewis, and will be divided into two parts, the whole comprised in Three Volumes, octavo, containing from four to five hundred pages, each; printed on good paper, and a fair Pica type. The several volumes in succession will be put to press at as early periods as the avocations of the author will permit him to prepare them for publication.
Part the First, in two volumes.
VOLUME FIRST —Will contain a narrative of the voyage, with a description of some of the most remarkable places in those hitherto unknown wilds of America, accompanied by a Map of good size, and embellished with a view of the great Cataract of the Missouri, the plan, on a large scale, of the connected falls of that river, as also of those of the falls, narrows, and great rapids of the Columbia, with their several portages. For the information of future voyagers there will be added in the sequel of this volume, observations and remarks on the navigation of the Missouri and Columbia rivers, pointing out the precautions which must necessarily be taken, in order to insure success, together with an itinerary of the most direct and practicable route across the continent of North America, from the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers to the discharge of the Columbia into the Pacific Ocean.
VOLUME SECOND —Whatever properly appertains to geography, embracing a description of the rivers, mountains climate, soil, and face of the country; a view of the Indian nations distributed over that vast region, shewing their traditions, habits, manners, customs, national characters, stature, complexions, dress, dwellings, arms, and domestic utensils, with many other interesting particulars in relation to them; Also observations and reflections on the subjects of civilization, governing, and maintaining a friendly intercourse with those nations. A view of the fur trade of North America, setting forth a plan for its extension, and shewing the immense advantages which would accrue to the mercantile interests of the United States, by combining the same with a direct trade to the East Indies through the continent of North America. This volume will be embellished with a number of plates illustrative of the dress and general appearance of such Indian nations as differ materially from each other; of their habitations; their weapons and habiliments used in war; their hunting and fishing apparatus; domestic utensils, &c. In an appendix there will also be given a diary of the weather, kept with great attention throughout the whole of the voyage, shewing also the daily rise and fall of the principal watercourses which were navigated in the course of the same.
Part the second—in one volume.
This part of the work will be confined exclusively to scientific research and principally to the natural history of those hitherto unknown regions. It will contain a full dissertation on such subjects as have fallen within the notice of the author, and which may properly be distributed under the heads of botany, mineralogy, and zoology, together with some strictures on the origin of Prairies, the cause of the mudflats of the Missouri, of volcanic appearances, and other natural phenomena, which were met with in the course of this interesting tour. This volume will also contain a comparative view of twenty-three vocabularies of distinct Indian languages, procured by captains Lewis and Clark on the voyage, and will be ornamented and embellished with a much greater number of plates than will be bestowed on the first part of the work, as it is intended that every subject of natural history which is entirely new, and of which there are a considerable number, shall be accompanied by an appropriate engraving illustrative of it.
This distribution of the work has been made with a view to the accommodation of every description of readers, and is here offered to the patronage of the public in such shape, that all persons wishing to become subscribers, may accommodate themselves with either of the parts, or the entire work, as it shall be most convenient to themselves.
Detached from this work, there will be published on a large scale, as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers be obtained to defray the expence,
LEWIS & CLARK'S
MAP OF NORTH AMERICA, From longitude 9 deg. west, to the Pacific Ocean, and between 36 deg. and 52 north latitude,
Embracing all their late discoveries, and that part of the continent heretofore the least known. This map will be compiled from the best maps now extant, as well published as in manuscript, from the collective information of the best informed travellers through the various portions of that region, and corrected by a series of several hundred celestial ob-
servations, made by captain Lewis during his late tour.
For the convenience of subscribers, those several works will be delivered at the most respectable commercial towns and at the seats of government of the respective states and territories within the union: No advance is required, nor will payment be demanded until such delivery is made.
Knowing that a very considerable proportion of the expence of such publications depends on the engravings which embellish or form them, and that the precise number of such engravings, particularly as it regards the second part of the work, have not yet been settled, it is difficult for the author at this moment to fix a price on them; he therefore declares to the public, that his late voyage was not undertaken with a view to pecuniary advantages, and pledges himself that the estimate which he will in this instance set on his literary labors shall be of the most moderate description; his principal reason indeed for proposing a subscription at all, is that he may be enabled to form some estimate of the number of copies to be struck off.
From a London paper.
The following came inclosed to a respectable correspondent of this city.
Cow Pox Inoculation.
The following facts are laid before the public for the encouragement of those, who entertain any doubt respecting the efficacy & success of Vaccine Inoculation, & to confirm others in their good opinions of that inestimable blessing.
In March, 1800, having previously informed myself of the safety and efficacy of the Cow-pox, I began to inoculate my two parishes Lockhamstead and Ackerly, near Buckingham. I was induced to do this at that particular time, because the Grand Junction Canal was in its progress to my immediate neighbourhood, which like every other great work, employing vast bodies of men from distant quarters, would probably introduce the Small Pox. It was my wish that the labourers of these parishes should have the benefit of the high wages given on such occasions, without being exposed to the danger of that dreadful pestilence.
Having been in the habit of administering medicines to the poor, my offer to inoculate them was very generally accepted: and especially as most of these people are employed in milking. The common answer of such persons to my proposal was, "We all know that nobody EVER DIED OF THE COW POX, and we all know that nobody EVER HAD THE SMALL-POX AFTER IT: But what an odd thing it is that any body should think of INOCULATING with it!"
For my part I thought it very odd, these two facts being so generally known, that no one should have attempted it sooner.
I had no intention of proceeding in this practice beyond my own parishes; but I was soon applied to by a clergyman, to whom I have been for more than twenty years curate, to inoculate at Greens Norton, near Towcester, the small-pox having broke out in two families. I readily consented on condition that he would prepare the minds of the people, to whom I was but little known. In this he met with opposition, and in the result, about five hundred persons were inoculated with the small-pox, and 28 by me, with the Cow-pox.
I started the same day as the hired inoculator. On the eighth day I inspected the parties, and finding that they were all decidedly infected with the Cow-pox, I desired them to give what assistance they could to the people, who were falling very fast with the Small-pox, and in great distress for nurses—two hundred at one time being in a helpless condition. Of these twenty-eight patients of mine, many slept with Small-pox patients, and even with some, who died in a most dreadful condition.
The neighbouring Villages were satisfied with this test, and in the following month I inoculated more than One Thousand Persons, who were apprehensive, that a very great fear at Towcester on old May-day, would spread the Small-pox over the whole surrounding Country.
On the application of Clergymen and other respectable inhabitants, I have inoculated, within ten miles of my residence, upwards of Four Thousand Seven Hundred Persons, many in situations greatly exposed to infection.
In the Autumn, 1804, the Small-pox raging among the people employed at the tunnel of the Grand Junction Canal, I inoculated in the neighboring town of Stoke Bruern, Shuttlehanger and Paulerspury, Five Hundred and Seventy. In the Summer of 1805, I inoculated Two Hundred and Seventy at Potterpury, the Small-Pox being at that time in two houses of the Village.
In the whole of my practice I have inflexibly avoided accepting any fee or present, except in two instances, where I had no choice. I am therefore not to be treated otherwise than as an independent evidence. In that character I make the following declarations:
1st. After a practice of more than six years no instance has occurred of any one inoculated by me being afterwards infected with the Small Pox.
2dly. I never, during that period, have seen a single arm, that required surgical assistance, or any other dressing further than a little oil, or milk and water.
3dly. I never knew, an instance of a life being endangered or a taint left in the constitution by the Cow-Pox. On the contrary, I can produce persons, who date a period of health, unknown before, from the turn of the Cow-Pox: the disease having apparently a tendency to cleanse the constitution.
If any candid person wishes to be more fully informed, let him devote a fortnight to the full investigation of this statement on the spot; I promise him the use of my lists, and recommendations to five persons in every parish where I have set my foot: and this is the only method. I propose of supporting the above assertions; as local bene-
fit to my neighbours, and not public fame or emolument, has been the object of
J. T. A. REED, Curate of Lockhamstead and Ackerly. Nov. 8th, 1806.
The fourth volume of the Memoirs on Egypt informs us, That the Small Pox has been more destructive than the plague; in one year more than one hundred thousand were swept away in upper Egypt.
BY THE MAILS.
PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 27.
Extract of a Letter from Havanna, dated February 25.
"An additional duty has been laid on imports of one and a half per cent. and the same on exports, with an augmentation in the valuation of sugars, as some say, of two rials the arroba, and also of two rials addition to the militia duty. It will now stand thus, 34 per cent. on imports, and ten and a half per cent. on exports.
This arrangement takes effect this day, and on all vessels not entered at the custom house, and those which were not cleared out previous to this morning. The order only arrived from Spain yesterday, but it is dated two years ago, and the present is the only one that has reached here."
Copy of a Letter from Mr. William Cartwright to a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated Carthagena, Dec. 15.
DEAR SIR, After taking my leave of you, I shipped on board the sch. Bee, Capt. Huddle, belonging to —, bound to St. Domingo, and from thence back to Philadelphia. After we arrived at St. Domingo, and after lying there five months, the ship called Leander, Capt. Lewis, came in and chartered the schooner, for fifty days; unknown to us where bound to. We applied to our captain for a discharge. He replied he would not discharge us.—We told him that we would not go unless he would inform us where the schooner was going. The captain then hailed the ship Leander, and two boats came along side the Bee, with men armed with pistols and cutlasses; cut and slashed fore and aft decks—threw us into the boat, and took us on board the ship—kept us there till the ship got ready to sail—sent us on board the schooner again, and went to the Spanish Maine, and there was taken; sentenced to hard labour in Carthagena for eight years!
There are nineteen fellow-sufferers with me, working every day at digging, with a long chain fastened to each. There were 57 sentenced—to hung. I remain your much esteemed friend, WILLIAM CARTWRIGHT.
Extract of a letter from a merchant, at Rotterdam, dated Jan. 22.
"The present is merely to advise you, that the late royal non-intercourse law, with Great Britain, had given rise to fears, that vessels coming from your country, but having touched there, would meet with difficulties here; but we have now received the assurances that they will be admitted, as heretofore; if only from their papers it appears that no part of the cargo was landed or taken in at an English port, and that they were obliged to run in there by stress of weather, want of water, &c. or to call for orders; and the Dutch or French consul's certificates must not be omitted. Our market keeps out a fair prospect for shippers.—Most West India produce is high."
Unless Mr. Jefferson, says the British advocate general, pursues the course of his predecessor, Mr. Adams, in 1798, we will commit violence upon the American trade.
Unless you agree to oppose the late French decree, we will not release your seamen, we will not sign or ratify the treaty—say the British commissioners.
What justice, natural attachment, and respect for the laws of nations, are remarkable in these ministerial sentiments!
France passes such a decree as she has a right to pass—she tells American vessels, "trade to and from Great Britain, if you please, but you must not enter any port in France or in possession of the French, after having touched at a British port, or if you have British merchandise on board"—who can say that this is a determination, which we either ought or have a right to oppose?
What then are we asked to do by the British, as a fine qua non of justice, but to interfere with or violate the internal regulations of France; regulations, which she has a right to enforce?
France wishes to shut out the British and their manufactures from the continent—she executes her wishes almost to completion; but, finding that American vessels maintained a trade between the possessions of France and Great Britain; she tells them they can no longer be allowed to prosecute that intercourse.
The British, knowing that this will be of immense disadvantage to them, tell us that we must oppose the French regulations or they will plunder us—they go further, and tell us they will not allow us to trade between the ports
of France and Spain, between those of Spain and Italy, or Italy and Holland.
Is there an honest man in the country that does not see in all this the most inveterate hatred and jealousy towards our country?
This is not all—we are to be plundered if we do not oppose France, but we are to have no sort of mercy if France agrees to release us from the obligations of her decree—if the decree of France injured us, we must resist it or be plundered; but the most extravagant of all recommendations is to punish us infinitely more if favoured by the French government.
Strange as it may appear, this is the strong attachment and respect of the British for America—it is the sentiment and recommendation of one of Pitt's greatest favourites—of lord Castlereagh.
In reply to the British advocate general's advice, "not to plunder us for the present, or until Mr. Jefferson refuses to do as Mr. Adams did"—Castlereagh said:
"We may wait till doomsday, before America will do this—her interests forbid her to comply—we ought to adopt measures such as the circumstances of the times require—since the publication of the French decree, America has been exempted from its operation, and is to sustain none of the injury, that was at first intended to be general—this is an aggravation, it ought to excite our jealousy, it is like a connivance with the French government."
In other words, "since France will not injure American commerce, we will—America shall not be served by France; it looks like favoritism, and we will plunder Americans because France intends to do them justice."
What a magnanimous policy—how worthy the praise and support of the warm federalists of America; and yet Cullen and the other British hirelings would persuade the people of America that the British government has a strong and a natural attachment to this country. Let the people forever dread the attachment, the proffered friendship of such a government, it would do them such injury as must be deplored to the latest posterity.
[Aurora.]
As we predicted, the Washington Federalist acknowledges itself mistaken—the senate is not to be called together and the treaty as is termed is to be returned to our ministers, at London.
What will the federalists say to this? what will they say of Mr. Jefferson's energy, when they learn, that he declared, 'that, even if he had called the senate together, and that body had been unanimous in advising the ratification of the treaty, he would have withheld the sanction of his signature?'
Will this energy, as represented by a federal print, satisfy the declaimers about decision and promptness? or will they now veer about and say that this is too much energy.
It however, is the true energy, the honorable energy for the country—The demands of the British government, of the nature that she has made, ought at any time to receive a decisive negative, but more especially at the present moment, when it is this country that has every thing to complain of, every provocation to resentment.
The conduct of government, in this instance deserves the undivided thanks of the country—we ask no more from Britain than we are entitled to; this is the moment when our friendship or enmity can be of the greatest importance to her—we have the power to obtain justice now in our hands, and ought to use it, to its fullest extent. If we are wise, we shall obtain all the redress we have a right to obtain; If Britain is wise she will no longer hesitate to grant it. Ibid.
NOVA-SCOTIA.
HALIFAX, MARCH 13.
In the gale, which blew on Wednesday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, Christian Bartling and Alexander McDonald, attempting to return to Dartmouth, in a sloop-rigged open boat, which had brought a load of wood from thence in the morning, the boat was by a sudden squall, unfortunately overset, and immediately sunk to the bottom. John Skerry, who plies in one of the ferry-boats, observing the accident, instantly went off, with several others, who volunteered on the occasion, and notwithstanding the severity of the gale, made every possible exertion for their preservation; but without success. McDonald could not be found; Bartling was taken up apparently lifeless; and every means prescribed for the recovery of persons in his situation, were used in vain.—Both those men have left widows; the former with two children, the latter with six, to lament their melancholly loss.
Christophe is appointed for life "President and Generalissimo of the State of Hayti," under a bran new constitution.
PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by an act entitled "An act to suspend the operation of an act intitled an act to prohibit the importation of certain goods, wares and merchandise, and to remit the penalties incurred under the same," the President of the United States is authorized further to suspend the operation of the said prohibitory act, if in his judgment the public interest should require it: Provided, that such suspension shall not extend beyond the second Monday in December next. And whereas, it is judged for the public interest that such suspension should take place: Now therefore be it known, that I, THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States, by virtue of the authority aforesaid, do hereby suspend the operation of the act entitled "An act to prohibit the importation of certain goods, wares and merchandise," passed on the eighteenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and six, until the second Monday of December next.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents and signed the same with my hand. Done at the city of Washington the twenty fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven, and of the sovereignty and independence of the United States of America the thirty first.
TH: JEFFERSON.
By the President, JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
From the Scioto Gazette.
CHILLICOTHE, Feb. 26.
The governor of this state has obligingly favored us with a copy of a letter from the President of the United States, which gives us much pleasure in publishing, inasmuch as it is a just tribute of praise bestowed upon our constituted authorities, and those of our fellow citizens who distinguished themselves by their patriotism in the late occurrence, relative to the conspiracy formed by Col. Burr, and must confound with shame, those who were base enough, either to throw obstacles in the way, or to attempt to turn into ridicule their united efforts for the public good.
WASHINGTON, FEB. 24.
"Sir—The pressure of business during a session of the legislature, has rendered me more tardy in addressing you than it was my wish to have been. That our fellow citizens of the west, would need only to be informed of criminal machinations against the public safety, to crush them at once, I never entertained a doubt. I have seen with the greatest satisfaction, that among those who have distinguished themselves by their fidelity to their country, on the occasion of the enterprise of Mr. Burr, yourself and the legislature of Ohio, have been the most eminent: the promptitude and energy displayed by your state has been as honorable to itself, as salutary to its sister states; and in declaring that you have deserved well of your country, I do but express the grateful sentiment of every faithful citizen in it. The hand of the people has given a mortal blow to a conspiracy, which in other countries would have called for an appeal to arms, and has proved that government to be the strongest, of which every man feels himself a part. It is a happy illustration too, of the importance of preserving to the state authorities all that vigor which the constitution forefaw would be necessary, not only for their own safety, but for that of the whole. In making these acknowledgments of the merit of having set this illustrious example of exertion for the common safety, I pray that they may be considered as addressed to yourself and the legislature particularly, and generally to every citizen who has availed himself of the opportunity given, of proving his devotion to his country."
"Accept my salutations and assurances of great consideration and esteem." Signed, TH: JEFFERSON. His Excellency Gov. Tiffin.
BOSTON, APRIL 3.
From France.—Capt. Adamson, who has arrived since our last, left Bordeaux city about the first of Feb. The reports there, were that the French had been very roughly handled by the Russians—it was said 50 officers had been killed. Conscripti were often seen in Bordeaux. They did not appear covetous of glory—Business was dull. Four frigates were lying ready for sea. The Washington, of Philad. with the crew of the French frigate Valerense, on board, had been taken by a British frigate; but was afterwards forced into a French port in a gale of wind. Some neutral vessels had been seized for an alleged breach of the November Decree.
Yesterday the black man convicted of murder, at the last session of the Supreme Court, was acquitted on a new trial.

Portsmouth,
Tuesday, April 7, 1807.
The President's proclamation, suspending the operation of the Non-Importation act, inserted in this day's paper, evinces the strongest desire, on his part, to promote "peace, commerce, and honest friendship," with Britain—and affords ground for a belief that the treaty said to be received is not so exceptionable as it has been reported to be, or else that he has strong assurances that its exceptional parts will be so altered or amended as to meet the wishes of the nation.

COL. BURR.
We hear that Mr. Burr is now a prisoner of the United States, and is on his way to Washington. In spite of all that has appeared in his defence, he cannot be regarded as an innocent man, provided the smallest credit be attached to the deposition of Gen. Eaton—a man whom all parties consent to praise, and whose integrity is without impeachment.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.
Palermo Bay, on Board his majesty's ship Intrepid, Oct. 26, 1806.
When I left you, I little thought of the misfortunes that awaited me. The 4th day after sailing from the Rock, we passed Sardinia, and were all in high spirits, not doubting but that we should arrive at Malta the next day; but dreadful to relate that very night, (the 20th) at about a quarter before ten, when going fully nine knots an hour, the Athenienne struck on the rocks known by the name of the Skrikes or Quills; they were completely under water, and at least sixty miles from any shore. The shock was terrible, and the dreadful consternation into which the crew were thrown, was beyond any thing you can possibly conceive. The most awful painting or description of a shipwreck was a mere nothing to it.—Every soul was instantly upon deck, most of them naked, and in such a state of despair, as to be perfectly unable to make the smallest exertion. Some went below and gave themselves up to their fate; others took possession of the poop, being highest out of the water (for in a very few minutes the lee side of the quarter was covered with water); others who had more presence of mind, took to the boats;—three of which containing 27 men, got off from the ship very easily, about a quarter of an hour after she struck. At this time all the masts went overboard.—Two other boats in endeavoring to escape, were swamped, and all the people in them perished. I fortunately failed in an attempt to get into one of them.—There now remained only two boats, one I found upon enquiry, had her side knocked in, from the falling of the foremast; the other (the launch) I regarded as the only possible remaining chance. The odds against which were very great, for she was still nearly in her station, amid ships, and crowded with people, so that it was impossible to use the least power to set her afloat. I however leaped into her, and was soon followed by general Cambell, who is now along with me. I made several efforts to get the men out of her, so as to make an effort to shove her off, but all in vain. Though I leaped out myself as an example, very few followed me. I therefore again took my place in her, and after remaining there a full hour, expecting every moment that her bottom would be knocked out, by the sea dashing her against the spars on which she rested, a fortunate wave washed us out of the wreck. We had oars all ready, and immediately pulled from her; but thinking that we could take in a few more men, although we had already an hundred on board, we rowed under the stern, with that intention, but so great was the anxiety of those upon the poop to join us, that we were in the most imminent danger of being overwhelmed by numbers jumping into her.—The general cry in the boat was, "Pull off," which we did, after having taken in only two officers who jumped overboard.
It was now nearly an hour and a half from the time the ship had struck. The anxiety of our minds was dreadful, but the moment that we pulled off from the wreck, for the last time (for I forgot to tell you that we returned three times) leaving poor Raynsford, with 350 men, without, I may say, the most distant hope, has left an impression upon my mind much more powerful than all that I suffered before that time. We immediately pulled towards the island of Maritimo, which (with the assistance of a miserable sail, made out of men's shirts) we got sight of at day light the morning of the 21st. We at the same time boarded a Danish vessel, that gave us a sail, bread and water, and a little brandy. We put twenty men on board of her. [New York paper.]
A letter from Leghorn, of Dec. 30. 1806, mentions that "the French government have sent an order to the different merchants of Leghorn, requesting a schedule of their property and consignments. Most of the English merchants have left this place for Sicily."
A letter from Cadiz dated January 23, 1807, says, "An order has just arrived from Madrid; reducing the quarantine on vessels from the Northern States of America to fifteen, and on those from the southern to twenty days."
Col. Burr, arrived at Frederickburg, in Virginia, on the 25th ult. under an escort of nine men, who had conducted him 1200 miles, from some part of the Mobile river.—He was ordered to Richmond to take his trial.
STORM.
Tuesday last we had a violent equinoctial storm from the eastward. We are sorry to learn that some damage has been sustained by the shipping in our neighborhood.
On Saturday the 4th inst. Mr. Samuel Petegrew, jr. of Kittery, and his son, were ferrying three of their neighbours across the river from the Newington side, in a small canoe, the wind blowing fresh caused a considerable sea, between the tide and eddy. Just as they were striking the eddy on the Kittery side they shipped a sea which filled them, and a second upset them. The canoes from the shore saved all the people but Mr. Petegrew, him they were not able to find.—Mr. George Leach, one of the passengers, sunk twice before he was taken up and was apparently dead for an hour; it is thought he will do well.
MARRIED.

SONNET TO INTEGRITY.
ON a nymph of daintiest brow, I look serene, Of honest thought, and actions void of blame, Who never knew the burning blush of shame So oft upon the cheeks of falsehood seen In red confusion suddenly to glow: Teach me along this thorny vale of strife, With guarded step and steady aim to go; That, when I reach the distant goal of life, I may look back without a bosom-throb; And, as the dim perspective of the past On dying Memory's optics gently fades, When bright futurity, in prospect vast, Opens to your view—O guide me to those shades Where sorrow ne'er the seat of bliss invades.
ON EXCESSIVE DRINKING.
As health is a blessing of the utmost importance to the comfort and happiness of life, its preservation is an object which ought to engage our particular attention and care; and yet there are a great many who seem, by their actions, to be insensible of its value, at least till they experience the want of it; otherwise it may be supposed that they would not exchange it for base, sensual gratifications. If a man labors under the pressure of bodily infirmities, or worldly calamities, which he could neither foresee nor prevent, (to which casualties human frailty and temporal vicissitudes, subject him) he may sustain them with patience and fortitude; but if he has been instrumental in bringing them on himself, they must be greatly aggravated by the sting of guilty remorse.
I am induced to make these observations, by contemplating the numberless instances of persons in the prime and vigor of life, destroying the best constitutions, and precipitating themselves into untimely graves, by the grossest intemperance, and from seeing a great succession of followers still stupidly advancing in the same road, notwithstanding so many warnings and examples before their eyes. Such must be strangely infatuated indeed if they expect to escape the like fate, when it is so evident that the same causes produce the same effects, and that there is no other possible way of avoiding it but by timely quitting that fatal cause of all the vices which mankind are addicted to. I believe I may venture to assert, that there is not one so baneful in its consequences, both with respect to spiritual and temporal concerns, as a habit of inebriety; it being not only a heinous sin in itself, for a man to drink till he divests himself of the reason wherewith he was endowed, for the purpose of guiding himself to his own happiness, and thereby act a more inconsistent part than even the brute creatures—but it is also attended with the most aggravated circumstances, irritating and inflaming the passions, and inciting him to the commission of other horrid crimes, which, of course, if persevered in must entirely ruin the soul; and with respect to the body, its bad effects are so glaring, that it is almost superfluous and unnecessary to expatiate, or make any comment on them.
I will only observe, that the moment a man abandons a life of temperance and sobriety, and indulges a propensity for immoderate drinking, he forfeits and relinquishes every rational enjoyment this world is capable of yielding. The sober and more refined enjoyments of life being to him all insipid and disgusting, he on all occasions gives a loose to his love of drinking, and madly hurries himself into a state of intoxication, whereby his ideas are confused, his senses benumbed, and all his mental faculties suspended. And when he chances to be again sober, and reason assumes its reign, his body and mind are so much deranged, and he feels himself so completely wretched, that he is frequently driven to the very brink of despair, and sometimes uses violent means to put a period to that existence which is a burthen to himself and a source of incalculable evil to his nearest friends and connections, who by his criminal conduct are inevitably involved in misery and distress. By thus neglecting the relative duties of life, and by dissipating the means that should be applied to the support and comfort of his family and dependents, he not only does them a manifest injury, but also wrongs the poor of what he might otherwise spare towards their relief. And finally, when health, wealth, credit and reputation are gone, if he is so fortunate as to escape sudden death, to which he is daily exposed in various ways, he may remain for a short time in a kind of torpid existence, and then drop prematurely into his grave, a miserable victim of his own intemperance and folly, unlamented and soon forgotten, being considered in this world only as an incumbrance.
The above considerations, I hope will have due weight with every person who has given way to the destructive practice alluded to, by inducing them to pause, and reflect on their dangerous situation, and immediately resolve to refrain from it in future. I can assure them from experience that the advice is practicable, and that they will, if they adopt it have great reason to rejoice with A sincere Convert.
