PORTSMOUTH: (NEW-HAMPSHIRE) PUBLISHED BY PIERCE & GARDNER, PRINTERS TO THE STATE, AND PRINTERS OF THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.
Pearse & Walker,
Have just received for Sale, "Dearborn's Proportional BALANCES." THESE instruments for weighing, are of such utility as to be fast getting into general use. To state every advantage in the use of them would be superfluous; suffice it to say, they may be "purchased for half the cost and used with half the labour of scales and weights;" for "ease, dispatch and precision," they surpass any thing of the kind extant. The frequent demand for them through the states and elsewhere, is of sufficient proof of their usefulness and merited approbation. April 30th. 1805.

EIGHTH CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES, at the Second Session begun and held at the City of Washington, in the Territory of Columbia, on Monday the fifth of November one thousand eight hundred and four.
AN ACT
For the more effectual preservation of peace in the ports and harbours of the United States and in the waters under their jurisdiction.
Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That whensoever any treason, felony, misprision of treason, or of felony, misdemeanor, breach of the peace or of the revenue laws of the United States, shall hereafter be committed within the jurisdiction of the United States, and the case shall be cognizable by or under their authority, if the person committing the same, shall be on board of any foreign armed vessel, in any port or harbour of the United States, or in the waters within their jurisdiction, it shall be the duty of any judge or justice of any court of the United States, upon satisfactory proof thereof to him made to issue his warrant specifying the nature of the offence, and directed to a marshal, commanding him to take the body of the offender, and bring him before the said judge or justice, to be dealt with according to law. And if the said marshal shall deem the ordinary posse comitatus insufficient to ensure the execution of the said warrant, he shall apply to the said judge or justice, who shall immediately issue his order directed to any officer having command of militia, or any officer having command of regular troops, or of armed vessels of the United States, in the vicinity, requiring him to aid the said marshal with all the force under his command, or such part as may be necessary in executing the warrant aforesaid. And the said marshal conforming himself in all things to the instructions which he shall receive from the President of the United States, or from any other person authorised by the President, shall first demand the surrender of the person charged with the offence; and if delivery be not made; or if the marshal be obstructed from making the demand he shall use all the means in his power by force and arms; to arrest the offender, and all others who are with him, giving him aid and countenance in evading the arrest, and he shall convey the said offender and all others arrested, as aforesaid, and deliver them to the civil authority, to be dealt with according to law. If death ensue to the person ordered to be arrested, or to any of those giving him aid and countenance, it shall be justified; but if to the marshal, or to any of those supporting him in the discharge of his duty, the persons engaged in resisting the civil authority shall be punished as in cases of felonious homicide.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That whensoever after the passage of this act, any felony, misprision of felony, misdemeanor, or breach of the peace shall be committed within the body of a county in any one of the United States, and any process of law shall be issued under the authority of the state, for the purpose of arresting the offender, if the said offender shall be on board of any foreign armed vessel, in any port or harbour of the United States, and within the jurisdiction of state, in which the offence was committed, it shall be lawful for the governor or other supreme executive officer of the state in which the said offence shall have been committed, upon due proof thereof, and upon his being satisfied that the ordinary posse comitatus is insufficient to ensure the execution of the said process, to issue his order directed to any officer having command of regular troops or armed vessels of the United States in the vicinity, requiring him to aid the officer charged with the execution of the process, with all the force under his command, or such part thereof as may be necessary, in arresting the offender, and all those giving aid and countenance in resisting the civil authority. And if the said offender shall flee to any place beyond the jurisdiction of the state, and within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, the officer charged with the execution of the said process; shall be, and he is hereby authorised to pursue the said offender into such place, taking with him, if necessary, the said armed force and there arrest him, in virtue of the said process. And if the said offender shall flee to and be on board of any foreign armed vessel, being in any place beyond the jurisdiction of the state, and within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, the officer charged with the execution of the said process shall first demand the delivery of the said offender, of and from the person or persons having charge and command of the said foreign armed vessel, declaring the authority and cause for which the demand is made; and if the said offender be not delivered according to the said demand, or if the officer charged with the execution of the process be obstructed in attempting to make the demand, then he shall use all the means in his power, by force and arms, to enter on board of the said foreign armed vessel, there to search for and arrest the said offender, and all those who are with him, giving him aid and countenance in preventing and resisting the execution of the said process; and the officer charged with the execution of the said process, shall convey the said offender and deliver him over to the civil authority of the state, to be dealt with according to law; and all those arrested for being concerned in resisting the execution of the process shall be delivered over to the civil authority of the United States, and shall be punished in the same manner as if they had been concerned in knowingly and wilfully obstructing resisting or opposing any officer of the United States in serving or attempting to serve any warrant or other legal or judicial writ issued under the authority of the United States. But if any of those concerned in making the arrest be killed in a place within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, those engaged in resisting the civil authority shall be punished as in cases of felonious homicide, and if the person charged with the offence, or any of those concerned with him in resisting, be killed, in a place under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, it shall be justified.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That if any commanding officer of militia, of regular troops, or armed vessels of the United States, shall refuse to obey the requisition authorised by this act, he shall forfeit a sum not exceeding five thousand dollars. Sec. 4. And in order to prevent insults to the authority of the laws, whereby the peace of the United States with foreign nations may be endangered, Be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for the President of the United States either to permit or interdict at pleasure, the entrance of the harbors and waters under the jurisdiction of the United States to all armed vessels belonging to any foreign nation, and by force to repel and move them from the same; except when they shall be forced in by distress, by the dangers of the sea, by being pursued by an enemy, or when charged with dispatches or business from the government to which they belong; in which cases, as well as in all others when they shall be permitted to enter, the commanding officer shall immediately report his vessel to the collector of the district, stating the object or causes of his entering the harbor or waters, shall take such position therein, as shall be assigned him by such collector, and shall conform himself, his vessel and crew, to such regulations respecting health, repairs, supplies, stay, intercourse and departure, as shall be assigned to him by the said collector, under the authority and directions of the President of the United States; and not conforming thereto, shall be required to depart from the United States.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That whensoever any armed vessel of a foreign nation, entering the harbors or waters within the jurisdiction of the United States and required to depart therefrom, shall fail to do, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, or such other person as he shall have empowered for that purpose, to employ such part of the land and naval forces of the United States, or the militia thereof, as he shall deem necessary to compel the said armed vessel to depart; or if he shall think it proper, it shall be lawful for him to forbid by proclamation, all intercourse with such vessel, and with every armed vessel of the same nation, and the officers and crew thereof; to prohibit
all supplies and aid from being furnished them, and also to instruct the collector of the district, where such armed vessel shall be, and of any and of every other district of the United States, to refuse permission to any vessel belonging to the same nation, or to its citizens or subjects, to make entry or unlad, so long as the said armed vessel shall remain in the harbors or waters of the United States, in defiance of the public authority. And if after the publication of said proclamation, and due notice thereof, any person shall afford any aid to such armed vessel, or to any other, contrary to the prohibition contained in the said proclamation, either in repairing the said vessel, or in furnishing her, her officers or crew with supplies of any kind or in any manner whatsoever, or if any pilot shall assist in navigating the said armed vessel, or any other, contrary to the prohibition contained in the said proclamation, unless it be for the purpose of carrying the armed vessel required to depart, as aforesaid, beyond the limits, and jurisdiction of the United States, the person or persons so offending, shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, and shall also be liable to be bound to their good behavior.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That whensoever any officer of an armed vessel commissioned by any foreign power, shall on the high seas commit any trespass or tort, or any spoliation on board any vessel of the United States, or any unlawful interruption or vexation of trading vessels actually coming to or going from the United States, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, on satisfactory proof of the facts, by proclamation to interdict the entrance of the said officer, and of any armed vessel by him commanded within the limits of the United States, and if at any time after such proclamation made, he shall be found within the limits of the United States he shall be liable therefor to be arrested, indicted and punished by fine and imprisonment, in any court in the United States having competent jurisdiction, and it shall be a part of the sentence that he shall, within such time after the payment of his fine and the expiration of his term of imprisonment, as the court shall direct; leave the United States never to return. And if he shall return within the limits of the United States after the passing of such sentence or be found therein after the period limited by the court as aforesaid, he shall again be liable to be indicted, fined and imprisoned at the discretion of the court: Provided always, That if the said officer shall also have committed any other offence made punishable by this act, he shall be liable to prosecution and punishment; the provisions of this section to the contrary notwithstanding.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States shall be, and he is hereby authorised and required to give, as soon as may be, after the passage of this act, to the collectors of the respective districts, and to such other persons as he may think proper, the necessary instructions for carrying this act into effect, particularly marking out the line of conduct to be observed by the marshal, and the several collectors in performing the duties enjoined by this act.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That if any person shall be sued for any thing done in pursuance of, or in obedience to this act, he may plead the general issue, and give this act in evidence, any law, custom or usage, to the contrary, notwithstanding.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That this act shall continue in force, for the term of two years, and from thence, to the end of the next Session of Congress, and no longer.

Description of TRIPOLI.
TRIPOLI, July 17.
The view exhibited by Tripoli increases in beauty as you draw nearer to it. This town is situated on the borders of the sea, at the foot of an immense forest of palm trees.
The kingdom of Tripoli, so called for having formerly had under its jurisdiction the three great towns of Sabra Oea and Leptis Magna, is neither so populous nor rich as Tunis. Tripoli, the capital, is built upon the spot where formerly stood the ancient Abrotonum, and is surrounded with good fortifications. The houses are built of brick and stone, and are but one story high; they are white washed; and this, added to the dust and rubbish with which the streets are filled, occasions the greatest part of the inhabitants to have sore eyes, a complaint very common among the Tunisians, owing to the same cause. The gates of this place are arched: and so small that it is necessary to stoop in order to get through them; a custom established to render the passage more difficult in the time of insurrection.
At the entrance into the city is a triumphal monument of the composite order, which according to the inscription seems to have been erected in honor of Marcus Aurelius, and his colleague, on account of the victory which the latter obtained over the Armenians. The flowers, vine leaves, and trophies are in good preservation; but the statues, which are in the niches, have been destroyed; and the rage of superstition has mutilated the four busts placed above them, as well as all the figures in bas-relief. On that side of the arch, however, which contains the inscription, is an upright figure by the side of a woman sitting, and surrounded by little children the drapery of which is perfectly entire. Some of the pieces of marble, of which this monument is composed, are of an enormous size. On account of the great heat, I was not able to copy what remains of the inscription.
Some of the Tripolitans, perceiving that we looked attentively at the monument, began to examine it also themselves; and one of them even extended his curiosity so far as to ask us at what period the infidels had erected it.
The Franks enjoy privileges here, of very great importance in a country where the populace are under so little subordination. For example, if one of them happen to have been insulted, he has the right of causing the offender to be arrested by one of the Janissaries belonging to the consul of his nation, and taken before a judge. There are consuls here from France, England, Holland, Denmark, Spain, Venice and Naples.
There are neither wells nor fountains in this place; and notwithstanding every precaution that can be taken, to preserve the rain water, it often happens, in dry seasons, that none of it is to be found.
Roman and African medals, both of silver and copper, are found in this country; we purchased some copper ones, which have a horse's head on one side, with a palm tree and dates on the other.
We yesterday paid a visit to the Bey, who did us the honor to give us a particular audience in a spacious saloon. A great number of persons, among whom the most conspicuous was his own son, were standing before him, while a slave with a large fan made of swan's feathers cooled the air, and drove the flies from him. He was armed with pistols and poinards. You would naturally suppose that the first compliment was made by the consul. But this was not the case; a Jannissary, stepping before the company, advanced towards the Bey, and, after kissing his hands, spoke a few words to him. The Bey at last desired us to be seated; and soon after some slaves spread large pieces of muslin fringed with gold upon our knees, and brought us coffee and various sorts of sherbet. One of the slaves then poured rose water over us, whilst another perfumed us with myrrh and aloes—all the while making several inclinations of the head.
The son of the Bey having expressed a wish to see our frigate, a council was held to determine whether this proceeding was consistent with his dignity; but it being observed that neither his father nor grandfather had ever been on board a foreign ship of war, it was decided in the negative.
From the London Sporting Magazine for June 1802.
The national debt of Great Britain being five hundred and thirty eight millions, three hundred and sixty five thousand, two hundred & five pounds, if the amount were in shillings, allowing thirty to be counted in a minute, for ten hours in a day, and six days in a week; it would require something more, than one thousand nine hundred and seventeen years to count it. The weight of it in gold, would be five thousand seven hundred and six-
ty tons; in guineas it would extend in a right line, eight thousand and ninety two miles, and wholly cover upwards of sixty three acres of ground; in shillings it would extend in a right line, one hundred and sixty nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty two miles, and cover one thousand three hundred and twenty three acres of ground.
POLITICAL.
From the National Intelligencer.
"United we stand, divided we fall."
ALTHOUGH the strong arm of federalism, once formidable to its opponents is now so palsied, that it is no longer attempted to be raised, (except in a small section of the union) still every engine is put in motion to effect by art and intrigue what can no longer be obtained, by a fair and honorable competition. It is evident that "the opposition" have of late changed the mode of warfare, which they have for the last four years incessantly carried on against the constituted authorities of our country. Persuaded, as they are, that neither calumny nor misrepresentation, can destroy the well earned popularity of our illustrious President; they are now endeavoring by the most insidious arts that can be imagined, to excite divisions among the friends of the administration.
A principal engine made use of at present, to effect this object, is that of something certain local jealousies, which are supposed to exist in some parts of the union. The hackneyed cry of "Virginia influence," is still "the order of the day" among this faction. Altho' Virginia has long been denounced as attempting to give law to the union, still there has not been the least shadow of proof brought forward in support of so serious a charge. These calumniators have been called upon in vain, to shew that a single act has been passed by Congress, which operates more in favor of Virginia than any other state. They have likewise been called upon to prove what they have so often asserted, to wit: that most of the offices under the general government were in the hands of Virginians. The fact is that this state has long been obnoxious to the aristocratic junto in this country. They can never forget Virginia has had the honor to give birth to a Jefferson, a Madison, a Monroe, and to many other distinguished characters, who have ever been the able and zealous defenders of the cause of liberty. They can never forget that the legislature of this state had firmness and patriotism enough to denounce the arbitrary and ruinous measures of the late administration. In a word, they can never forget, that although this state was threatened to be "humbled to dust and ashes," she remained firm and inflexible, and contributed greatly towards effecting the late auspicious change in the administration.
It is well known that a difference of opinion has recently taken place among some republicans, which altho' confined to subjects of minor importance, and in no manner connected with our national concerns, has nevertheless been a source of much exultation to the opposition, who flatter themselves that this event will prove highly advantageous to the fallen cause of federalism. The leaders of this party by assuming occasionally the garb of moderation—by affecting to think well of certain republicans—by expressing a great veneration and respect for the constitution, and by declaiming against innovations and reforms, are sanguine in their expectations of attaching to their interest, those whom they are pleased to designate the moderate. "An union of honest men" is now calculated upon by them, to take place before long, as a matter of course. But thank heaven such an union (according to its true meaning) already exists among the friends of the administration, and is composed of at least nine tenths of the American people, who are determined to support republican principles, and to transmit to their posterity unimpaired the blessings of liberty which they now enjoy. And can it be supposed that this virtuous and patriotic class of our citizens will ever unite with "Old Tories, apostate whigs! and emigrant royalists?" Can it be supposed after the recent proof that they have given of their attachment to our beloved President, that they will ever unite with those men who have so basely attempted by the most infamous means to destroy both his public and private character?—No, I trust there are none among the republicans so base and so degenerate as to promote so hateful an union—"for my part I had rather be a dog and bay the moon than such a republican."
Citizens of America—pause for a moment and reflect on your present happy and flourishing situation—You have a constitution, formed by yourselves which will secure to yourselves and to your posterity the blessings of liberty, which were acquired by the
wisdom and valor of the patriots of '76—You have now at the head of your government, a virtuous, an enlightened and a patriotic administration. But a faction still exists among us, who are exerting themselves to regain their lost authority and influence in our councils. It rests however with you fellow citizens (by continuing firm and united) to put a stop at once to those intrigues which are now in operation for the purpose of fomenting divisions in the commonwealth; and you will thereby prevent the reign of terror from being again introduced into our country.
SIDNEY.
THE CONTRAST.
The advocates of aristocracy and monarchy are continually bawling out against republican governments and republican institutions. Kingly governments, say they, are strong, energetic, and commanding; whilst those of a republican nature, are effeminate, fluctuating and inconsequent. Such sentiments may grace the palace of St. James, and be swallowed with avidity by the imperial court of the Thuilleries, but can never command the esteem, nor the reverence of a true hearted American. The excellence of a government may be estimated in proportion to the protection yielded to the governed, and the ease with which fiscal exactions are made. A people cannot be happy where extravagant taxes are levied; and where the fruits acquired by the "sweat of the brow" are exacted to gild the pockets of sinecure officers, and governmental syco-phants. With this criterion before us, we ask, who is most happy, the British or American citizen? As an answer to the question, let the following extracts be read. The first is additional duties levied in England, for the payment of the interest of a loan of £2,500,000. sterling, recently ordered to be raised for the support of government. The other is an extract from Jefferson's last inaugural speech, on the subject of taxes:
"The interest of this loan is provided for by the following new taxes; An addition of 10 on all single letters by the post, ad on foreign letters and 10 on two penny letters—3d. a bushel on salt consumed at home, and 6d. a bushel on salt exported to any part of Europe—8s on pleasure horses in addition to the £20 paid at present—one per cent. upon direct legacies, which formerly paid no duty; one per cent. on legacies charged on land; and, in place of eight, ten per cent. on legacies to strangers in blood."
Extract from Mr. Jefferson's inaugural speech.
"At home fellow citizens, you best know whether we have done well or ill. The suppression of unnecessary offices; of useless establishments and expenses, enabled us to discontinue our internal taxes. These covering our land with officers and opening our doors to their intrusions, had already begun that process of domiciliary vexation, which, once entered, is scarcely to be restrained from reaching successively every article of produce and property."
What a contrast! The American republican happy, prosperous, and growing into mighty importance; while destruction, bankruptcy, and oppressive burthens, threaten the annihilation of the British nation. Tax upon tax are levied upon all classes of people—they must be paid, and the payment robs them of that which thousands want to procure the necessaries of life. But in America it is very different. We may use the language of our worthy President, and ask, "what farmer, what mechanic, what labourer sees a tax gatherer of the United States?" Our wise and economical internal and external regulations have enabled government to discontinue all internal taxes, and at the same time rapidly to diminish the national debt. But in Great Britain, with a revenue of 23,000,000 sterling, a loan of nearly that amount is required to defray the ordinary expenses of government. O prodigality, where is thy blush!
Who then would exchange our pure representative system of government, for that of monarchy or aristocracy? The unfeeling wretch, who would riot on the misery of his fellow-citizen, who could obtain some permanent office near the throne, and be placed beyond the caprice of fortune, perhaps will answer I. But the philanthropist, the man whose breast glows with a patriotic ardor for the happiness of the human race, whose soul has been taught to feel another's woe, will exclaim not I. Let then those who share at our administration of government, who look and speak contemptuously of our republican government, who contend that there is no virtue in the mass of society, and who say that the iron rod of a despot is necessary to keep them in subjection, fly to European countries, let them visit every country in every climate, and they will be compelled to say, if they speak the truth, AMERICANS, YOU ARE THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH! (Centinel of Freedom.)
26 Representatives from the town of Boston—formerly but seven.
The British partisans in Boston, aided by the Essex Junto, yesterday chose 26 Representatives to the General Court—Major Russell is among the number chosen—we really with the Major would publish the piece he wrote which was published in the Worcester paper, against the return of the Old Tories, and also give his friends a new edition of the writings of Laco, in which one of our first patriots was basely calumniated.—Let the Independent Yeomanry of the State, watch well the conduct of the daring faction in Boston. The Republicans we hear did not attend the meeting. With Old Brasenface, and the Aurora Borealis phiz of Major Bobadil, we really think the Boston seat must shine. But to speak seriously, the Junto by this usurpation, have sealed their political death warrant, and Dr. P. may have the felicity of penning in his usual chaste style their last words and dying speech!

Mr. Pitt, in his speech in the House of Commons on the 18th February, stated the sum necessary to be raised for the support of the British Government the ensuing year, besides the proportion which Ireland would have to pay, to be FORTY THREE MILLIONS, SIX HUNDRED AND NINETY THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING!—To raise this, besides the ordinary taxes, new ones were to be imposed on Letters, on Salt, on Horses, on Legacies, &c. &c.—If the Feds were in that highly-favored country, instead of cavilling at Government for taking off taxes, as they now do at ours, they might be gratified with new taxes to the extent of their desire!
NEW-YORK, APRIL 30.
On the 19th ult. a man named Francis Major, called at the house of Mr. Camden, near Lancaster, in Garrand county, Kentucky, and asked for some fire to light his pipe. Mr. Camden handed him some fire, after which Major directed him to hold his horse until he loaded his pistol—when his pistol was charged and he had mounted his horse, he offered if Camden would give him ten dollars, to shoot him through the head. On Camden's refusing, he proposed to do it for five, then for three, and at last came down to two pence—Camden still refusing. He then declared he would do it for nothing, and accordingly shot him through the head, which caused his immediate death. Major instantly rode off full speed, but was followed by two men, who soon took him, and had him committed to jail in Lancaster.
STOCKBRIDGE, APRIL 27.
Extraordinary Phenomenon.
On Tuesday the 9th inst. the inhabitants of the north part of Alford were alarmed by a sound somewhat resembling thunder, but much more intense than any ever experienced in this part of the country. Those having a prospect, and immediately turning their eyes the direction from whence the noise appeared to proceed, were astonished to behold a volume of fire, to appearance, 8 or 10 feet in diameter, issuing directly from the earth, and to the height, as was supposed, of 150 feet, accompanied with vast quantities of smoke, equal, to that proceeding from a large building on fire. Constant successions of fire and smoke of this description continued for the space of 10 or 15 minutes. The cattle and other herds of the adjoining fields were thrown into the greatest amazement and consternation. The family of Mr. James Blois, on whose land the phenomenon happened, accompanied by a great number who had assembled at a call so extraordinary, immediately repaired to the place from whence the fire issued, but found, contrary to their expectations, that no eruption at all of the earth had taken place, but that the common rubbish scattered around had been conveyed to a great distance.—Let the curious determine the cause.
TUNBRIDGE, (Vt.) APRIL 25.
A Modern Miracle.
On Saturday the 10th March, 1804, I had two pigs, which were ten weeks old. At 10 o'clock on the same day, while my family were at dinner, my neighbor viewed the pigs; they were sprightly feeding in the trough, and would weigh about thirty pounds each. Within one hour, my wife went to feed them, and found one gasping for breath which died immediately. The other was not to be found. After fruitless search in every part of the pen, she called a man from the barn to assist. As soon as he came he saw the skin of the lost pig, in fair view, turned inside out, without any marks of violence about it, neither torn, bruised, nor cut, perfectly clean, and as whole as when on the pig, taken off like a squirrel's skin, and equally as smooth. It did not appear that a knife or any other instrument was used in the operation, there being no mark, except that it was torn at one side of the mouth, about half an inch. Whether that was done by turning the skin after it was found, cannot be ascertained. No part of the carcass could be found, nor one single drop of blood could be seen in any part of the pen (or sty) though covered with snow which had fallen the preceding night, on which the skin lay when first discovered. Should this relation appear too strange to be true, it may be proved beyond controversy. J. S.
[The above was communicated by a gentleman of respectable appearance, who said he had seen the skin above alluded to, was acquainted with the writer of the article, heard the particulars related by him, and believed him to be a man of veracity.]
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY MAY 14, 1805.
ST. DOMINGO, &c.
Various accounts from this interesting island, render it certain, that the black army has been defeated before the city of St. Domingo; and that its scattered divisions had retreated to the northern and western parts of the island. Letters from Cape-Francois, to the 19th April, state, that the sable Emperor, Dessalines, had arrived at the Cape; and that his followers had brought with them large quantities of Spanish plunder.
French West-India Fleet.
The above accounts also state, that Admiral Maseffs, with the Rochefort squadron, increased by some transports, had landed about 3000 troops at Santa Domingo, since which nothing has been heard of the squadron in that quarter. The following, which are believed to be facts, may give some information of the active operations of this squadron. It failed from Martinico about the 22d March, bound to leeward; and was spoken on the 5th, 7th and 8th April, in from 21 to 23 degrees of N. latitude, and from 67 to 65 degrees of W. longitude; standing to the Northward and Eastward. From these facts, it now appears probable, that the squadron when it left Martinico shaped its course for St. Domingo (a distance of about 600 miles)—where it is not improbable it arrived by the 25th March; tarried no longer than was necessary to land the troops (probably at the east end of the island) and then made sail for Europe; on its passage to which it was spoken as above.
* This name has been variously spelt—we have reason to think this correct.
The English Squadron
Under Admiral Cochrane, arrived at Antigua the beginning of April, and proceeded to leeward in search of the French; which had the start of him by a fortnight. The British squadron passed Nevis the 11th April, bound to leeward.
Late accounts from Antigua, (April 18th) mention, that Commodore Hood's advice boat had arrived there, with intelligence, that a squadron of twenty sail of French and Spanish vessels of war, had arrived to windward:—that Admiral Cochrane had been recalled from leeward;—that the militia were under arms; and that an embargo was hourly expected.
The Emperor of France has decreed, that every adult inhabitant of St. Domingo, who has been driven there from by the ferocious blacks, shall be allowed a pension of 300 livres per year;—married men 500, and for each child 100. (Boston Centinel.)
From the N. Y. Mercantile Advertiser, May 6.
Capt. Cromwell, from Porto Rico, informs us that the Rochefort squadron had landed 5000 troops at the city of Santo Domingo; and that, thus reinforced, Gen. Ferrand had engaged the negro army before the walls, and had defeated them with considerable slaughter.
In Mr. Boudin's report of the operation of the Mint during the last year we notice the following remark:
"It is worthy of the President's attention, that about eleven thousand dollars of the gold coin is the produce of virgin gold, found in the county of Cabarrus, in the State of North Carolina, where it is said a very considerable quantity has been found, since the last deposits, and will in all probability, be forwarded to the mint.—It is to be regretted, that this gold is melted into small ingots, before it is sent to the mint, for the convenience of carriage; but by which, there is reason to believe, a considerable portion of it is wasted. It is also said, that the finest particles are neglected, and only the large grains and lumps sought after."
Chavalier de Foronda, Consul General from His Catholic Majesty to the United States, informs the public, that his Minister Plenipotentiary, Marquis de Casa Yrujo, has received official advice, that orders have been given by the English Government to their vessels of war and privateers, not to molest any neutral vessel or vessels, bound to Spain with Grain or Flour.
Boston, May 8. JUAN STOUGHTON.
His Excellency Thomas Elsop, by proclamation, dated Port of Spain, (Trinidad,) April 5, 1805, declares that the following articles are admissible only from the United States, in American bottoms, into that colony:—Boards, plank, ranging timber, scantling clapboards, hoops, staves, shingles, shooks and heading, spars and oars, flour, rice, bread, peas, beans, corn and rye meal, oats, beef, pork, salted and pickled fish, bacon, hams, cattle, horses, mules, live stock and tobacco. These articles may be bartered or exchanged for "such commodities, any articles of the growth, produce or manufacture of this island, (indigo, cotton, parrotto, cocoa, coffee, cochineal, lignum vitae, and dyeing wood excepted) to the exact amount of such respective cargoes, and no more." East India goods, gin, rum, brandy and other spirituous liquors, pitch, tar, turpentine, &c. &c. are prohibited under very severe penalties.

Gull-Boat, No. 8, under the command of Capt. Harrison, failed on Saturday for the Mediterranean.
We are happy to learn, that the passengers and crew of the ship Jupiter , who embarked on board the Long Boat, were in with several fishing Schooners, soon after they parted with the Yawl, and happily rescued from their perilous situation. Mr. Gilbert J. E. Smiffart, one of the passengers, arrived in town on Saturday, from Marblehead, where he was brought by a vessel, who received him from one of the fishing boats. He informs, that the people, preserved with him were all in health, and distributed among the several fishing vessels on the banks. Boston paper.
By the annual statistical table published at Washington by S. Blodget, junior, it appears that the number of free inhabitants in the U. S. and Louisiana, amounted in the year 1804, to 6,000,000. That the quantity of improved land in the United States, was 38,950,000 acres, that the militia amounted to 1,050,000 and the seamen to 64,000 men. That the value of imports was 80,000,000 dollars, and the exports was 77,699,074 dollars. That the hard money in circulation amounted to 17,500,000 dollars, and the bank notes to 14,000,000, and that the custom house bonds and cash in the treasury amount to 16,500,000 dollars. He states the revenue at 11,064,097 dollars, and the expenditures at 11,258,983. Emigrants imported, 5,000, besides 4,500 slaves!!

GENEROSITY.
A POOR woman, who had seen better days, understanding from some of her acquaintance, that Dr. Goldsmith had studied physic, and hearing of his great humanity, solicited him in a letter to send her something for her husband who had lost his appetite, and was reduced to a most melancholy state by continual anguish.
We have heard of bigots who would rather the whole world should be damned, than be saved by believing any other than their particular tenets. This is just the way with many of our federalists; they see the country prospering under the administration of Mr. Jefferson; but because he does not administer the government according to their opinions, they murmur, and cavil, and slander; and contend for a change of system, tho' that change should lead the country on the broad road to destruction.

The Hudson Balance, a high-toned federal paper, recommends "to bury the ordinary party names in oblivion." Federalists have by their conduct, so disgraced the name under which they acted, as to be ashamed of it themselves, and with it "buried in oblivion."
A Hartford paper gives the following instance of the Increase of Republicans in that state: "On the 12th instant the wife of Mr. Roger Phelps, jun. a respectable Republican in Hebron, presented him three children, one son and 2 daughters, at a birth, each weighing 5 lbs. and all are likely to do well!"
ANECDOTE.—Three young conceited wits, as they thought themselves, passing along the road near Oxford, met a grave old gentleman, with whom they had a mind to be rudely merry; Good-morrow, father Abraham; Good-morrow, father Isaac said the next; Good-morrow, father Jacob, cried the last. I am neither Abraham, Isaac nor Jacob, replied the old gentleman, but Saul, the son of Kish, who went out to seek his father's asses, and lo! here I have found them.

FOR SALE, BY
C. PEIRCE, Portsmouth,
& Dr. JOHN WHEELER, Dover,
the following valuable
Family and Patent Medicines.
DOCTOR Rawson's celebrated STO-
MACHIC BITTERS, which have
proved so singularly efficacious for a few
years past, in restoring weak and decayed
constitutions, and all that train of compli-
cated complaints, so common in the Spring
and fall seasons. Price 50 cts. a box. Extract of a letter, from Doct. John Wilcox, of Vergennes, (Vermont) to the Proprietor, dated October 20, 1803.
Dear Sir—I have been one of those
that never put much faith in Patent Medi-
cines until of late, but must acknowledge,
by actual experience, that I have received
more benefit from Doctor RAWSON'S
BITTERS than from all the medicines I
ever took before. I have been unwell with
a low remittent fever, &c. Yours, &c. JOHN WILCOX. M. D. Stamford, 14th October, 1803.
Sir—the sale of Doctor RAWSON'S
BITTERS, has far exceeded my expecta-
tions. The inhabitants seem to approve of
them very much. I have sold all those you
left with me. I wish you to send me a fur-
ther supply. Those Bitters have had a sur-
prising effect on several of my acquaintance,
in restoring appetite and health to those that
were quite low. With respect, yours, Wm. KING.

vertisement. Price 50 cts. a box
DOCTOR RAWSON'S ITCH OINT-
MENT.—A certain cure for that disagree-
able complaint called the ITCH. It effects
a cure in a very short time, and may be ap-
plied with the greatest safety. It also cures
all other kinds of eruptions on the face or

leaves the skin smooth and beautiful.

medicine ever yet discovered, for Coughs,
Colds, Asthmas, Spitting of Blood, and ap-
proaching Consumptions; and every other

Lungs. No medicine in use is so justly
entitled to praise in curing the above com-
plaints, as this valuable Elixir. Price 75 cts. a bottle.
