[9s. pr. Annum.]
The following law is published by desire of the committee of Police, for the information of the inhabitants of Portsmouth; some of whom, as it respects riding Horses, Pig-Sties, &c. have already subjected themselves to penalties, which the committee will be compelled to exact, if longer persisted in.
AN ACT to prevent common nuisances.
Whereas slaughter houses for killing beasts and cattle, houses for trying tallow, or currying leather, by reason of offensive and ill stenches proceeding from the same, are hurtful to the health, and dangerous to the neighbourhood in large and populous towns in this State,
For remedy whereof:  BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General-Court convened, That where any slaughter house is already erected for killing of beasts in the compact part of any populous town in this State, the owner or occupier thereof shall at least three times in every week, from the last day of March to the last day of October, annually, remove and carry away, or cause to be removed and carried away from such slaughter house or out house or houses, or the appendages thereof, to some remote part of the town, all the entrails, garbage, filth and offals of such beasts as may have been killed there, and as often as need be, sufficiently wash and cleanse their said house or houses, used for killing of beasts, so as more effectually to prevent the stench and effluvia thereof from disturbing the peace, and endangering the health of any of the citizens of this State, on penalty of forfeiting the sum of thirty shillings for each week's neglect, to be recovered before any justice of the peace in the county where the offence may be committed, one moiety thereof to the person who shall complain or sue for the same, and the other moiety shall be for the benefit of the poor of the town where the offence is committed, and the proof of any dead beasts hanging up in any out house, or the laying in or carrying out the entrails, garbage or blood of any beasts shall be sufficient proof in law that such house is used for a slaughter house within the intent of this law.
Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That from and after the passing this act, no person shall erect or occupy in the compact part of any large and populous town in this State any slaughter house, or house for trying of tallow, or for currying of leather, except such as are already used for such purposes, without leave, first had and obtained from the selectmen of such town, together with the approbation of two justices of the peace for said county, on penalty of forfeiting forty shillings a month for occupying any building in the aforesaid trades or mysteries, except as before excepted, without leave first had and obtained in writing, under their hands for said purposes.
And be it further enacted, That in case the regulations aforesaid, respecting the cleansing and preventing dangerous stench and effluvia arising from the use of the slaughter houses or other out houses that now are or that have been used in any populous town or towns in this State, should be found ineffectual to prevent the inconveniences thereof, on sufficient proof of which, it shall and may be lawful for the justices of the superior court of this State to take cognizance thereof, and issue order to the owner and occupier of any or all such slaughter houses or other buildings used for killing of beasts as aforesaid, and thereby forever prohibit such use thereof, and if such owner or occupier should refuse to obey such order, and persist in killing beasts as aforesaid, it shall and may be lawful for said justices of said court to issue their precept to the sheriff or his deputy of any county where such offence shall have been committed and continued, directing him to take down and remove such building used as aforesaid, and to sell immediately at auction, so much of the materials thereof as will pay him reasonably for executing said precept, and all costs of taking down and removing the same.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That henceforth no cart, trucks, sled or dray, drawn by either horse or horses, horse and oxen, or oxen only, shall be suffered to pass through any of the streets or lanes in the compact part of the town of Portsmouth without a sufficient driver, who shall, during such passage, keep with his cart, trucks, sled or dray, and carefully attend and observe such methods as may best serve to keep their horses or oxen under command, and shall have the thill horse by the bridle or halter, and whatsoever cart or other person undertaking to drive any cart, trucks, sled or dray as shall neglect to observe the rules aforesaid, such cart, driver or the owner of such team so offending, shall forfeit and pay the sum of six shillings for each offence, to be recovered in the same way and manner as is herein before directed for other nuisances.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no person shall ride through any of the streets or lanes in the compact part of any populous town in this State on a gallop, or any swifter pace than at the rate of five miles an
hour, on penalty of forfeiting the sum of six shillings for each offence, to be recovered in the same manner as before directed in this act for other nuisances.
And be it further enacted, That no person shall hereafter erect or set up any house of office or easement, or lay or leave any dead beast or carrion within the compact part of any populous town in this State, or suffer the same to continue, being already standing or set up within forty feet of any street, lane or highway, or the dwelling house, shop or well of any neighbour, except on wharves or banks of the river, unless the same be vaulted six feet deep and sufficiently secured and enclosed, on penalty of forfeiting the sum of twenty shillings for every transgression of this law, and the like sum of twenty shillings for every three months the said nuisance shall continue after the first conviction; nor shall any person in said Portsmouth erect or keep any pen or sty for swine so near the streets or lanes, or their neighbour's dwelling, as to become a nuisance in the judgment of the surveyor or surveyors of the highways, or three at least of the selectmen of said town for the time being, who are hereby empowered and directed to remove the same, or order it to be removed at the expense of the owner, and shall recover double cost in any court proper to try the cause.
This Act passed January 3, 1792.

FOR THE GAZETTE.
MR. MELCHER. If the following view will tend to explain the Treaty, please to publish it. The division into heads may give it an antique appearance: but as throwing it into this form upon the first reading enabled me the better to comprehend it, the same effect may perhaps follow in some others. The exact propriety of the division will not be strenuously contended for.
A. M.
Former Treaty carried into effect, BY relinquishment of the Western posts by the British, by full provision for indemnification for losses of private debts by legal obstacles.
E. Contra.
No provision for indemnification for loss of Negroes carried away by the British, contrary to former Treaty.
Causes of War removed—arising from former Treaty.
By amicable adjustment of the bounds of the United States between lake of the woods and Mississippi, and between United States and Nova-Scotia, or rather New-Brunswick.
Rights resigned by the United States.
Of preventing alien British heirs from succeeding to lands in United States now held by Britons.
Of confiscating private debts, shares in funds or banks.
Of imposing greater duties on British, than on other foreign vessels or goods.
In consenting to extend articles of contraband much farther than in common Treaties.
In appearing to agree that provisions may be considered in some cases as contraband, when not bound to blockaded ports or places—with the exception, however, that if considered as contraband, they shall not be confiscated, but may be taken and paid for.
Of protecting murderers or forgers.
Of imposing additional tonnage on British vessels, or increasing difference of duties, payable by British and American vessels during continuance of the 18th Article.
In agreeing that acts of reprisal for injuries done shall not be made till demand of satisfaction.
Rights acquired by the United States.
Of easy, free and advantageous communication with Canada and Nova-Scotia, or rather New-Brunswick, by land or inland waters, on paying no higher duties on goods than when imported by the British by sea.
Of a firm establishment in carrying on trade with the British East-Indies, on paying the same duties of importation or exportation of goods as the British East-India Company; and no higher tonnage duty than is paid by British vessels in American ports: provided the goods shall be exported to America in the first instance; and that Americans shall have no right to British East-India coasting trade by virtue of this Treaty.
All the same rights resigned by United States, are also resigned by Great-Britain, and of course as against Great-Britain, acquired by United States—with exception of the article respecting tonnage, and difference of duties during continuance of 18th Article. America agreeing not to make the tonnage or the difference of duties greater, and Great-Britain reserving to herself the right of laying duties and tonnage to countervail the American.
Articles common to Treaties.
Reciprocal admission of Consuls—of hiring and possessing houses and warehouses for purposes of commerce—that commanders of privateers shall give bond for indemnification of those they may injure contrary to laws of nations—that pirates shall not receive aid or be harboured—that military or naval commissions shall not be accepted from powers at war with either party—no citizens or subjects suffered to enlist against either—ships of war hospitably received at all times—privateers of nations at war with either party, not to arm in ports belonging to party not at war—nor to sell what they have taken—nor to purchase more provisions than are necessary to convey them to nearest port of their nation—Ships of war and privateers of each nation may carry their prizes where they please, without cognizance of Courts of Admiralty, and may sail when they please to the place mentioned in their commissions or patents—shelter or refuge shall not be given to such as have made prize upon either party, with the proviso, that it shall not be construed to operate contrary to former Treaties—Ships or goods of one party not to be taken by enemies within harbours, rivers, or cannon shot of the coast of the other—Merchants and others behaving peaceably in time of war, between America and Great-Britain not to be molested, if suspected twelve months to be allowed them to remove.
Old Law of nations confirmed.
That neutral bottoms do not make neutral goods, but enemies goods in neutral bottoms subject to capture, friends goods in enemies bottoms not prize, with the exception that this article shall be a subject of future negotiation.
Additional Article.
That compensation for spoliations during the present war, shall be made in a summary manner, where individuals are unable, or law incompetent.
FROM FENNO'S GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
FIRE, FIRE, FIRE, HELP, HELP,—the town is on fire—the world's on fire—we shall all be burnt up alive—roasted baked, to make
a dinner for damn'd aristocrats. Stop your mouth, fool; the fire is out, extinguished, every spark of it; don't then alarm the town, and disturb honest people from their rest. But nothing can stop the mouth of a fool, especially if he be a wicked one: he cries on, fire, fire, fire; if it is now out, it was not a little while ago; if the vigilance of our watchmen has suppressed the flames, the house was certainly on fire; if we are not burnt up, we had like to have been; it is all one, fire, fire, fire. Such and so absurd, is the clamor raised against the late treaty with Great-Britain. The only obnoxious part, the only part against which the venom of faction is directed, and by which the public peace is attempted to be destroyed, is that which is rejected by the Senate, and which therefore no more forms a part of the treaty than the Mahometan creed, or the adventures of Jack the giant killer.—But what can appease determined discontent? The clamor is abroad, and it will be echoed from democratic society to democratic society, through every state where a democratic society is to be found; then die in the insignificance of those who gave it birth.
I will state a few plain and broad observations, under which this negotiation should be candidly considered. It should be remembered, that when we are treating with a great and politic nation (for such is Great-Britain, in spite of her misconduct and corruption) we must not expect that our desires are to be the terms of negotiation—that because a thing is for our advantage, therefore it is to be given—because inconvenient to us, therefore rejected.—Great-Britain has its interest to attend to and to urge, as well as we have; and if the best compromise of those interests is made, the best terms admitted that the nature of the case would give, we should be satisfied. It is not but to ask and receive, but to knock at their ports and have them opened to us without an equivalent, without condition or control. Certainly it would have been a good thing if Mr. Jay could have persuaded the British ministry to cede to us the exclusive trade between their W. India islands and Europe; to have given us the free use of all their ports without duty or restraint; to have given us a million of dollars, or any thing else you please. But could a man in his senses ask these things, or would men in their senses have granted them? Is it not enough, then, to shew that an article is not quite so beneficial as we could wish, which it is evident we could not and perhaps ought not to have had on better terms? If Mr. Jay had been treating with a nation of idiots or children, he might have cajoled the poor creatures out of any thing he could have asked; or if Mr. Jay had been sent to negotiate, or rather give terms of pardon to a people vanquished by our arms, on their knees imploring our mercy, in that case too he might have imposed on the suppliants such terms as conquerors usually give. But in truth he had to deal with neither fools nor suppliants, but with a people wise and politic, though deluded; with statesmen deep and experienced, though dishonest and corrupted. It is therefore ridiculous to expect they could be either terrified or ensnared by any man under heaven into a compact by which they were to give every thing, and receive nothing. In short, I profess myself satisfied with the treaty as the Senate have ratified it because it gives us many and great benefits, with as few and small sacrifices and inconveniences as could have been expected.
MODERATION.
LIVERPOOL, June 1.
At a canal meeting lately held at Buxton, in Derbyshire, an American gentleman presented a plan for constructing an aqueduct of cast iron, which was immediately adopted, and ordered to be put in practice. This stupendous work is to cross the Mersey, 90 feet above the water level, and 200 feet in width; which will present a scene not to be paralleled in Europe, of boats sailing 90 feet above the natural channel of the river. The project is reported to be a very important saving on stone aqueducts, and conducted with great ease in the most difficult situations.
A WONDERFUL CASK.
There is now building and nearly finished, in the extensive porter brewery of Messrs. Meux and Co. in Liquorpond street, Gray's inn lane, London, a cask so enormously large, that the following description of it, we would scarcely have credited, had it not been communicated by some gentleman who took down its dimensions last week, in the presence of Mr. Meux himself—
Table with 2 columns: Feature, Dimensions. Diameter: 65 1-2 feet. Height: 25 1-2 feet. Hoops: 56. The least of which weighs one ton, and the largest three tons. It is formed of 314 staves of English oak, two and a half inches thick, will contain above 20,000 barrels of porter at 30s. each; has been four years building; and will cost upwards of 10,000l.
Is figure is in a small degree conical, and its base is supported by large beams. At the top a square aperture is left open, through which the workmen pass down into it, by means of a temporary stair case. A great number of candles and lamps are disposed about the inside, to light the different artificers employed therein. It excites a strange and novel sensation to stand on the top, and looking through the bung hole, to see all the lights, scaffolding, and various workmen employed in the different parts of the vast cavity of this wonderful vessel. The workmen informed the gentleman who communicated this account to us, that a person who went to see this extraordinary structure, having been conducted down into it without previously noticing the outside, after waiting some time enquired which way he should proceed to see the
large cask, having no idea that he was then standing within it. The famous tun of Heidelberg, Germany, which is said to contain 8000 hogheads of Rhenish wine, is quite outdone!
PITTSBURG, July 4.
Our latest accounts from Gen. Wayne's Head Quarters, at Grenville, inform us, that the Indians were coming from all quarters to the treaty, and that at a moderate computation it is supposed 5000 will attend.
The Commissioners have proceeded on from Fort Franklin towards Presquisle. All is peace and quietness in that quarter.
PHILADELPHIA, July 13.
Monday morning last, the President of the United States, his Lady and family, left Philadelphia, on a journey to Mount Vernon.
NEW-YORK, July 10.
Capt. Raymond, of the sloop Lion, arrived there yesterday, in 23 days from St. Croix informs us, that on the 4th June he was lying at St. Thomas's when the British frigate Alarm arrived there, and landed a number of French prisoners; the officers of the frigate informed Capt. Raymond, that they were part of the crew of the French armed ship Liberty, mounting 22 guns; that they had fallen in with her in the night of the 30th May, in sail rock passage, to the leeward of St. Thomas's, when the Liberty fired a broadside into the Alarm, which was immediately returned; in a few minutes after the Liberty sunk. The most of the crew were saved.
PROVIDENCE, July 11.
Extract of a letter from the Captain of an American ship at Brest, to his owners in this town, dated June 2.
"Not an article of my cargo was wanted in this place excepting Rice, which I sold to the contractors, payable in specie, and I must do them the justice to say, that after closing the bargain, they exerted themselves to give me dispatch in unloading, and in every respect treated me with candour and punctuality. My money was immediately counted down, on producing receipts for the delivery of the Rice. Yesterday I had the honour of dining with the Representatives of the People, as they are styled here. They assured me it was the orders of the Convention to deal with the Americans upon the principles of honour, and with the utmost punctuality. I took the liberty of mentioning to them, that heretofore there had been great complaints; they said they did not doubt there was sufficient cause given for those complaints, but at present France was pu-ged of those who, under the appearance of zeal, had committed every excess, and strove to destroy the Republic by every means in their power."
"Messrs. Delabre and Co. formerly merchants of eminence at Havre, are appointed contractors here; with these gentlemen I negotiated my business, and the attention and dispatch I have received from Mr. Delabre, merit my most grateful acknowledgements."
BOSTON, July 16.
The SENATE of the UNITED STATES convened in a deliberate assembly—the town of Boston met in a clamorous hall. The Senate were more than 20 days, discussing the treaty—the town of Boston discussed it in three hours. The Senate debated on the articles, signed by JAY and GRENVILLE—the town of Boston harangued on the mutilated abstract of Ben. Franklin Bache. The Senate took the honor of its members a sufficient bond for their secrecy, the town of Boston passed a vote of thanks to the apostate Mason for violating it—In fine the Senate took care of "their apple cart" and the town of Boston "Nuck their foot in't"!!!
We hear, that a very large number of the most respectable citizens of Boston, have signed a truly republican address to the President, to counteract the influence of the famous "cut and dried" town-meeting proceedings.
WESTERN FRONTIERS.
We learn, that on or about the first instant, a large party of creeks, said to consist of between 800 and 1000 had surrounded the Chickasaw towns and confined the inhabitants to their forts. Prior to our informant's leaving the Chickasaws, a skirmish had taken place between them and the Creeks, and several were killed on both sides. A distinguished Chickasaw chief of the name of Underwood, is said to be among the killed.
It is said, that the Spaniards are erecting a fort at the Chickasaw Bluff, upon the east bank of the Mississippi, in lat. 35 degrees north, within the limits of this territory, and that on the 24th of May last, his Excellency Governor Guyot, of the Natches, was at that place. If this be true, it is so rapid a stride of encroachment, that the United States cannot behold it with indifference.
JULY 22.
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
A Gentleman, passenger in the Swedish brig Sophia, arrived at Philadelphia, from Leghorn, informs that he heard of no second engagement in the Mediterranean, but reports that the French fleet consisting of 22 sail of the line, had left Toulon, and that he heard heavy cannonading as he passed Minorca.
AT HISPANIOLA.
The yellow fever, rages, particularly at St. Marks, where 40 or 50 were buried each day; and of 600 troops, not 200 were in health. A vessel lies now at Hospital-Island having two men sick with this fever.
DELIBERATION.
The Senate of the United States, when met to discuss the merits of the Commercial Treaty with Great-Britain, read it first, and then deliberated upon it.—But some other people have ordered this matter quite different—they decided upon its merits on one day, and read it three days after. Query, which of these worked the matter most right?
JAMAICA.
Capt. Freeman arrived at New-London, informs, that Montego-Bay, in Jamaica, is entirely consumed by fire, except a few scattering houses outside of the market-place; also all the wharves but one; from 6 to 8000 hhds. of sugar and rum, with all the provisions, public and private.
BARCELONA AND BILBOA.
Capt. Bowers, arrived at Philadelphia from Bourdeaux, informs, that a report prevailed previous to his sailing, that Barcelona and Bilboa were both in possession of the French—that provisions, except bread, were all in plenty, that flour fell to 18 and 17 crowns per barrel, and that bread was selling in the public markets, which had not been experienced for some time before, that all was tranquil at Bourdeaux, the most of the fleet in port.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.
Capt. Ware of the brig Mary, from Cadiz, mentions that a Moorish galley of 35 oars lay at that port during the time he was there, and he was informed by the American consul, and several other merchants, that the Moor was waiting for him, and he actually went out twice in expectation that Capt. Ware would set sail and fall into his hands. Capt. Lamb who was formerly sent to Algiers to negotiate for the American prisoners at Cadiz, and in daily company with the officers and crew of the Moorish galley, who made no scruple of telling the crew of Capt. Ware's vessel, that the Americans were "No Bone." Mr. Lamb was constantly trading between Algiers, Morocco, and Cadiz, and told Capt. Ware that if he should be taken which was very probable, he (M. L.) might be of service to him. From his intimacy with the Moors of the galley, his trade with the Barbary coast, and his constant abuse of the Americans whose government he said, had treated him ill, and who all avoided his company, his intentions were suspected by most of our citizens in Cadiz. Capt. Ware came out with a convoy and kept with them as far as Teneriffe, and the commandant of Cadiz, would not permit the Galley to sail until twenty-four hours after Capt. Ware left port.
LOSS OF THE CONCORDE FRIGATE.
JULY 17.
Capt. Clark of the Schooner Cupid, 14 days from St. Bartholomews, has handed the Editor the following paragraph:
Please to insert that the French frigate Concorde, shortly after she sailed from Guadalupe, was taken by a British man of war and two frigates, which sent her into Antigua. The La Patrie, a French sloop of war, was taken to windward of Bermuda, by the Veteran, a British 64, commanded by Capt. Kelly who sent her into Martinique. A Republican sloop from Guadalupe, had an engagement with a British Schooner of 14 guns, fitted out at St. Kitts; the former, after an action of 3 glasses, beat off the latter with the loss of her two lieutenants killed in this naval combat; two hours after, the Republican fell in with an English privateer, of 8 guns, from Antigua, with which she engaged for one glass, but being in a shattered condition, was obliged to strike to superior force, and afterwards sent into St. Kitts.
CONCORDE NOT TAKEN.
Last Wednesday arrived here the Brig Gen. Warren, from Basseterre, Guadalupe, which place he left on the 30th of June—two days before she left that port, viz. on the 28th of June, the frigate Concorde, a 74 cut down, and a frigate, arrived there from a cruise, with six valuable prizes.
NEW YORK, July 20.
Yesterday arrived the brig Elsie, Captain Penfield, in 19 days from Martinique.
Capt. Penfield informs us, that on the 29th June, the British ship of war Experiment arrived at Martinique from St. Lucia, with a number of sick and wounded soldiers, part of the garrison of that place:—The officers of the Experiment informed Captain P. that St. Lucia was taken possession of by the French on the 26th ult. and that they had met with great loss in the contest, not more than 1000 out of 2000, of which the garrison consisted, including the French Royalists, had been able to escape the hands of the Republicans.
Capt. P. Likewise informs, that the British sloop of war Marilda, arrived at Martinique the day before he sailed, the Captain of which reported, that he had been chased a few days before off Guadalupe, by a large fleet, which he took to be French, consisting of two 3 deckers and six 64's, besides frigates.
Capt. P. also says, that Gen. Vaughan, the British governor of Martinique, died a few days before he failed.
BOSTON, July 25.
ST. LUCIA.
The English have been obliged to evacuate St. Lucia; that island is entirely in possession of the French, who seem to have sacrificed to their country all personal hatred and spirit of party; they appear to live as brothers.
A National Commissary arrived there, from Guadalupe: Joseph Roche, Boisson, & Fourn, are at the head of the Committees. The Patriots, who through fear went over to Martinique, when the French landed on the island, have been called back.—There is a Proclamation which calls to their respective homes all Patriots and Refugees.
FOREIGN.
The latest accounts from Europe, are to the 10th of June. To the 6th letters from France and papers from England, have been received. The former mention, that the scarcity of provisions, which had distressed France, was lessened; and that the prospects of an abundant harvest, and the early cultivation of vegetables, had greatly lowered the price of grain: That the reports of a general Peace were many, but continually fluctuating; and if a judgment can be formed from the preparations, the War is yet long to continue. No brilliant military events, by sea or land, have occurred.
DOMINICO.
The following particulars, relative to the landing, movements, and fate of some troops at Dominico, is received by the arrival of Capt. Erving, on Monday last, from Mariegalante.
June 6. The French landed with 200 troops, on the windward of Dominico; they marched to a small fort, shot the centry, and then, owing to a report that a large body of English troops were marching to intercept their retreat, precipitately fled to their boat, and returned to Mariegalante, leaving three of their principle officers at Dominico; who, however, taking a boat, go back the next day.
June 7. The same troops were sent again to Dominico; and orders given to the boats which carried them over, to leave the island as soon as the troops had landed, this was fulfilled.
June 12. 300 other French troops arrived at Mariegalante from Guadalupe, and were immediately dispatched to reinforce the troops at Dominico; but landed in a different part of the island. 7 leagues from the place of landing of the first party.
Nothing was heard from either of these parties of troops, till the 17th, when a Captain of the first division arrived at Mariegalante for a reinforcement of troops, and a supply of ammunition; and informed, that they had a drawn action with the English, and that a few officers and men had been killed on both sides; and, that they expected to form a junction with the second division, the night he left the island. He was immediately re-dispatched, with 100 auxiliary troops; but in a few hours returned, with information, that on approaching the island, he found the English flag flying in the camp he left the French possessed of.
On the 19th, an Aid de Camp of the second party, returned to Mariegalante wounded, and informed, that that party, having been completely surrounded by the English, had surrendered themselves prisoners.
On the receipt of this News; a number of other troops, prepared at Mariegalante, to be sent to Dominico on an appearance of success, were ordered again to Guadalupe, and the expedition entirely given up.
The French expected, when they first planned the attack of Dominico, to be joined by a large number of inhabitants; but were disappointed; as none of the officers observed, on his return, that even the women and children, were active against them, getting on the hills and rolling large stones upon them as they approached.
A Mouser Devoux, who for sometime resided in this town, was among the unfortunate French at Dominico.
OF THE TREATY.
We hear, that the citizens of Newport, (R. I.) and Richmond, (Virg.) among others, are about assembling on the subject of the Treaty.
The following is the Official Document transmitted to the President, in consequence of the late meeting of the citizens of Charlestown. To GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States of America.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Charlestown, July 22, 1795.
Sir,
The Treaty now pending between the United States of America and Great-Britain, having much engaged the attention of this part of the country; the inhabitants of this town have been led legally to convene in their corporate capacity, agreeable to the Constitution of the Commonwealth, for the purpose of taking the same into consideration—and have
Voted, That this town do disapprove of the Treaty now pending between the United States and Great-Britain, as has been read.
Voted, That this town do disapprove of the Treaty as modified by the Senate of the United States.
Voted, That the Selectmen be requested to transmit the doings of this meeting to the President of the United States.
In compliance with the last-mentioned vote, we have the honor to transmit said votes, and to submit them to your consideration; fully persuaded, that every sentiment of your heart, with every action of your life, is directed toward the public good.
With the profoundest esteem and respect, &c. (Signed by the respectable, the Selectmen of Charlestown.)
MALIGNANT DISEASE.
A vessel is lying off Rainsford's Island, that has had a malignant fever on board; we are assured, however, that every precaution is taken to prevent its spreading to the town.
FROM FRANCE.
Since our last, the brig Diana, Capt. Hinkley, has arrived here from Havre, in 42 days. The letters by her do not contain any political news of moment: although some of them are as late as June 20th. The opening of the campaign has not been so auspicious to the French arms, as was expected; but treaties with several of the small powers of the German Empire were concluded.
July 27.
The Express who carried the proceedings of this town, to the President, returned on Saturday. He overtook the President at Baltimore, and delivered the dispatches. He informs that the inhabitants of that city were much pleased with the doings of Boston. They were to have a meeting the afternoon he left that town, Monday last.
COMMUNICATION.
Whoever has read the Commercial Treaties entered into between the United States, and France, Sweden, Holland and Prussia, and will carefully compare them with the one just entered into with England, will be satisfied that the terms thereof are as favourable as any of them. With respect to the restriction in the 12th article, of tonnage, it must be remembered that the English have ever been tenacious of their carrying-trade, as a nursery for seamen; therefore they permit no nation whatever, to trade in foreign vessels to their West-India islands, nor have American vessels, of any tonnage ever been permitted to trade to those islands, except in cases of great emergency, and then they are confined to certain articles of import and export. The treaty therefore, in permitting the entry of vessels of seventy tons,
entirely American, grants that to the United States, which is denied to all other nations, however friendly.
JULY 23.
TRAVELLERS from the East, West, North and South, lately arrived here, say, that by estimation, 30,000 copies of the treaty, struck off in the Aurora office, have been dispatched by express to every quarter of the union, and have been sold at 25 cents each—some as high as 50 cents.
Query—what proportion of the profits of this speculation ought to be paid to the provider of Mr. Bache's office, to compensate him for those "wounds which never close," received in stealing a march on the Senate ? [Fenno.]
MARINE JOURNAL.
SATURDAY, JULY 18. Arrived brig Delight, M c Lellan, in 18 days from St. Bartholomews. Spoke brig Mary of Portland, Jones, from Charlestown for Cowes. Left at St. Bartholomews, Capt. Knowles, of Newburyport, from Demerara, captured by the French; Capt. York of Falmouth; Hobby of North-Yarmouth; Capt. Norton of the Vineyard, and Capt. Higgins of this place, with their respective vessels. On the 1st July, the brig Polly of Newburyport, Capt. Carter, last from Charlestown, laden with rice, while the Captain was on shore procuring a coffin for one of his men who lay dead, the brig caught fire, by some unknown accident. The boats from all the Americans in the harbour were immediately sent to her assistance; but it being impossible to extinguish the fire as she lay, she was towed in shore and scuttled. Very little property will be saved from her. The dead man, and one sick man who was on board, were burnt in her.
MONDAY, JULY 20. Arrived fchr. Brown, from St. Marks, in 24 days. Lost four hands on the passage of the yellow fever.
Same day, arrived fchr. Olive, Clap, in 24 days from St. Marks. Lost the cooper and mate on the passage, one man since her arrival, and two more men now sick with the yellow fever. [This last vessel is now at Hospital Island.]
A Schooner belonging to Salem, which failed from St. Marks, in company with the above vessels, it was feared would never reach any port, as the fever had been particularly fatal on board her.
The Mary, of this port, from Brest for Cadiz, was cast away near the latter port.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
To the MEMORY of BARON TRENCK.
IMMORTAL Trenck! the glory of thy kind! Born to instruct, inspire, and awe, mankind! What eye, thy mighty sufferings can peruse, Nor tears of sympathy that eye suffice? Ponder the cruel wrongs thou did'st sustain, Nor indignation boil in ev'ry vein? Thy manly, godlike, fortitude behold, And from those brows the martyr's crown withhold? Thy dauntless valour contemplate, thy zeal, And not accumulated courage feel? Thy justice, candor, moderation, scan, Nor glory in the dignity of MAN?
As I revolve thy various turns of fate, What struggling passions in this breast debate? Love, pity, admiration, take their turn, Then horror, and vindictive vengeance burn. What unheard tortures! (to my soul I sigh) What unexampled magnanimity! What mean suspicions! base ingratitude! What manly pride! what dauntless fortitude! See the great hero drag his dungeon-chain, The blood fast trickling from the spouting vein, I feel life's current from its channels swerve, While keen vibrations rack each tortur'd nerve! Exalted sufferer! thou shalt charm a world, When thrones, and sceptres, are in ruins hurl'd. And their proud owners, moulder'd, and forgot, They, and their hated memories shall rot. From thee shall spring virtue's feel new springs, Rise with recruited strength, and prune her wings. And vice , o'eraw'd, beneath thy potent spell, Sink down affrighted to her native hell. Thy sorrows, and thy triumphs, leave behind An everlasting lesson to mankind.
The pageantry of courts, each fool and knave, The cruel despot, and the cringing slave, The judge suborn'd, the ungrateful, treach'rous friend,
The fawning parasite, and subtle fiend, The lurking spy, each harpy of the gown, The vengeful levite, and the rev'rend drone, Priests, priestlings, priestcraft, melt beneath thy frown.
Thee, youth shall study, fir'd with thoughts sublime, And the steep paths of honour learn to climb. The cheerless captive learn from thee to bear, And, taught by thy example, scorn despair. Thy race, the guardian-care of providence, Shall live in honour, crown'd with innocence. And those just rights, proud despots thee deny'd In sev'n-fold blessings on their heads abide, To teach base miscreants, virtue's not mere name, But surest passport to immortal fame.
Unrivall'd Trenck! thy country's boast & pride! In complicated scenes of misery try'd! In glory's sphere, thy consecrated name, Transcends all Roman, Macedonian, fame. Around thy laurel'd tomb the mules weep, Nymphs, heroes, fages, folemn vigils keep. Whilst thou above in some distinguish'd seat, Seest Prussia's foreign far beneath thy feet. And Robespierre , to make thy ghost amends, Howls in the lowest dungeon of the fiends. Whilst thou in bliss (no tyrants to annoy) With Hæbe quass't uninterrupt'd joy. And some illustrious bard of future days By thy great name inspir'd, shall tune the lays, And grow immortal, in thy deathless praise.
NEWBURYPORT, July 21.
SHIP NEWS.
From WEST-INDIES, July 4.
[Last evening arrived in this port brig Robert, Capt. Aubin, 20 days from Petit Bourg, (Guadalupe) by whom we receive the following interesting information.]
About the 12th June, the French attacked a small fort at St. Lucia, garrisoned by 150 men, and after a short resistance, put every man to death. On the 18th, under cover of the night, all the English soldiers left the town, and the next morning the Republicans took possession of the whole of St. Lucia.
Thirty sail of English vessels, including the convoy, with troops on board, failed from England for the West-Indies, twelve of which were taken by two French frigates, and eight of the prizes arrived at Petit Bourg on the 2d July, with 750 troops on board. The prisoners were sent to Point-Petre.
On the 24th June 250 Republicans landed on Dominico, and it was generally supposed had been all put to the sword, as no account had been received when Capt. Aubin failed, of the reception they met with.
PORTSMOUTH, July 28.
Saturday arrived here the brig Ranger, Capt. Trefethen, in 28 days from Jamaica, lost two hands, one belonging to Dover, the other to Kittery; confirms the account, in this days Gazette, under the Boston head of a dreadful fire at Montego-Bay, in Jamaica; says it happened on the 10th June, that the loss was estimated at £400,000 sterling.
