Miscellany.
The following publication at once pleasant and keen is extracted from the Gazette of the United States, and is supposed to proceed from the elegant and sportive pen of Mr. DENNIE, author of The Lay Preacher, &c. who has high claims to the title of the American ADDISON.
[FORTUNE TELLING.]
The Moral Dispensary.
Hæc se carminibus promittit solvere mentes Quas velit; at aliis duras immittit curas, Sithere aquam fluvis, et vertice sidera retro: Nocturnoque ciet manes. Magis videtis Sub pedibus terram, et descendere montibus ornos.
Grief and joy are subject to her will:— The flowing streams stand still & wonder. By potent art she stops the stars and drives them frightened back. Trees take the alarm and scampering quit the hills; whilst the unwieldy earth laboring, yawning, bellowing with fear, sends forth her nightly ghosts.
MUCH disturbance to the order of nature has, in all ages, been ascribed to the magic agency of women. To account for such an imputation, without acknowledging the fact, appears somewhat difficult. Whether, from their known influence over the moral world, that over the natural has, by analogical deduction, been derived; whether, from their acknowledged ability to excite commotions among the affections and passions of the heart, it has been concluded that they possess like powers over the elements of the natural creation, admits of doubt. Certain it is, that, from the earliest times, there has been a generation of wonder-working females, whose pretensions to occult science and supernatural power have procured them the notice, the admiration and the mockery of the credulous multitude.
I have been led to these general remarks, by an unaccountable infatuation or enchantment which appears to be practised upon the inhabitants of this city, and, particularly, upon unmarried ladies, by one of these female magicians, who has set up her cortinam, and opened a commerce with other worlds, in a certain magic cell in Race street.
I am unable to ascertain the particular mode in which she operates to produce in the mind that derangement of the rational faculties, that insatiable curiosity and that wistful anxiety to pry into the secrets of futurity, by means of which she nightly draws to her unhallowed mysteries, such multitudes of deluded mortals. It is believed, that what, to vulgar eyes, appears a simple, harmless pack of cards, is nothing less than the opofelefs caduceus of Mercury; by the latent energies of which the summons, at her will, a congregate throng of spectres, sprights, ogresses, ladies, waiting-maids and statesmen, who, with mingled hope and fear, hang on her lips to learn the awards of Fate. She Mimos like declares their lots:
“Around her lie Spells, philters, globes and spheres of pal- mistry, A foil in one hand the gipsy bears, In th' other a prophetic heve and shears.”
Thus equipped, wife and mysterious in her aspect as the sagacious owl, and big with future destiny, as bat by winton boys blown up, she bursts with swelling divination, and to the astonished crowd, discloses—
What? That those who marry will have husbands, and those who marry not, by Fate's unalterable decrees, must live old maids, or else no maids at all. Such and so marvellous is her matchless skill!
A still stronger proof of supernatural agency, is the mighty charm, by which she blunts the edge of sensibility and holds her female audience, unabashed, to hear what she relates. Strange as it must seem! the ears of the modest, virtuous and chaste, which in other circumstances, would sooner be stopped forever than listen to the most remote allusion of an improper nature, here become pleased with unchaste and indecent insinuations and even patient of downright obscenity. Ladies, who in the free, unbiased exercise of their rational faculties, would
rather die like Lucretia, than live suspected of dishonor, will here tamely submit to hear their virtue questioned, in presence of the multitude, and smile at the imputation or prediction of those “deeds of darkness,” which modesty will not name and charity refuses to credit. “Tis pitiful, 'tis wondrous pitiful!” to behold in what manner the graces of modesty and the charms of beauty are here out-charmed, infatuated, and prostituted at the shrine of all-potent magic.
All will allow that great and numerous evils, pernicious to private peace and public manners, necessarily flow from disorders like these. The persons themselves will bear me witness, that when once they have so far indulged their curiosity as to make the experiment, however resolutely they may have fortified their minds against the belief of any miraculous skill in this pretended expounder of the decrees of Heaven, there has still remained some traces of uncertainty. Some trifling circumstance, to them unaccountable, some ambiguous, unmeaning hint, which their own knowledge of facts assisted by their own invention, could alone appropriate to any actual event, make room for doubt, at least, if not credulity, to keep possession of the mind. This alone is sufficient to disturb the imagination, to awaken unreasonable apprehensions or false grounded suspicions; to unsettle the serenity of the temper, and to shake that calm and steady reliance which rational people should more confidently repose in their God than in the tricks of a professed conjurer.
I would not be thus serious upon a ludicrous subject, were it not unfortunately, true that many, in honest simplicity, have gone so far as, in effect, to believe, that an ignorant, silly woman has been able to rend the veil which the God of nature had kindly drawn between us and futurity, and by dint, of frivolous rites and unmeaning ceremonies, to lay open to the view of mortals, those secrets which HE had wisely intended, forever, to have concealed from their sight. Such ideas, and the conduct which results from them, are not merely frivolous and ridiculous; they are absolutely criminal and impious.
Such is the disorder; but what shall be the remedy? Reasoning cannot effect it: for though reason is a “goodly pearl,” it has no beauty or value in the sight of those who direct their eyes above it, into the regions of mystery and wonder; and even the wholesome precepts of morality, seen through these mists of ignorance, credulity, appear to lose their excellence and lustre.
In a case thus difficult, it is the part of a prudent physician to proceed with caution. I shall, therefore adopt no final measures 'till farther investigation shall have enabled me to prescribe with greater confidence of success. In the mean time I would earnestly entreat every lady, whose discretion has preserved to her the consciousness of spotless manners, to abstain entirely from visiting this infectious place, and to resist, with fortitude, every beginning of so idle and mischievous a curiosity. Do not my fair friends, expose your delicacy to the scrutiny and loose remarks of the unknown and promiscuous multitudes, who nightly convene there, for other purposes than those of consulting the fortune teller. Leave it to those who have sufficient cause to apprehend what a future “day may bring forth,” to calm their apprehensions, to prove their virtue or prepare against disgrace, by the assistance of oracular responses.
“Good name, in women, is the immediate jewel of their souls,” and since for some, it requires more than mortal testimony to gain belief, it is reasonable that such should be indulged with an opportunity of having their virtue attested by authority which cannot be doubted. It is, therefore, my advice, that for the present, no obfuscation be thrown in the way of those who are disposed to visit the fortune teller, and that it be taken for granted, that were it proper, they could give convincing proof of the propriety and necessity of the measure.
It is reported, that there are certain of the great council of our nation, whom it delighteth to consult the interests of their country, in this repoli-
tory of occult science; and, as I would, by no means, be instrumental in depriving government of any necessary or useful aid, I would recommend, that every such lady as before alluded to, should have the privilege of introducing one member of Congress.
I would likewise request the police of the city, since they think it proper that a public office of this kind should be kept open for the benefit of the citizens, that they would increase the notoriety of it, and cause its moral and political tendency to be more generally understood, by ordering the following inscription to be placed over the door.

SOLOMON SIMPLE, P. M. D.
Doctor Simple respectfully requests the ladies not to mention him to the fortune teller, lest the should persuade them that these malicious remarks have been made by some one, who is ashamed of his real name, and by discovering the author, should prove her own skill, and destroy the credit of this paper.
COW POX.
[As every article of information, respecting the new mode of Vaccine inoculation, must add to the knowledge of the Faculty, and promote the general good, we readily give place to the following letter on this important subject.]
To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine.
SIR,
IN conformity to your desire that I would communicate to the public, through the medium of your valuable Magazine, some information respecting the progress and success of inoculating for the cow pox, I send you the following.
In my reports of the new inoculation published in May last, including upwards of 500 cases, I observed that the matter of the vaccine disease generally produced much fewer pustules, and less indisposition, than that of the small pox. But at the same time it was remarked, that in some instances the cow pox proved a very severe disease, and that one child died of spasmodic fits, occasioned by the eruptive fever which it excited. I hinted, however, that if the matter of the cow pox used for the inoculations had been taken only from those patients in whom the disease appeared very mild and well characterized, the result would have been more favourable; and I have since had the satisfaction to find this opinion fully confirmed. For of 1000 persons inoculated for the vaccine disease, by me, or under my immediate direction, during the last six months, not more than 150 had pustules which proceeded to suppuration; nor was there one case attended with a dangerous symptom.
Now out of 1000 persons inoculated for the small pox, I find generally that more than 800 have pustules; and as the severity of the disease is commonly in proportion to the number of the pustules, it follows that the cow pox is milder than the inoculated small pox in the proportion above-mentioned.
To infants at the breast the new inoculation has proved peculiarly successful, for I have now had a very considerable number of private patients of this description, in none of whom was the inoculation attended with any pustules, and even very rarely with any perceptible disorder of the constitution. An instance of this kind, Mr. Editor, you had in your own family.
That those who have undergone the vaccine disease, are thereby rendered secure against the effects of the small pox, is a truth confirmed by daily experience. Upwards of 1000 of my patients, who had undergone the cow pox, have been inoculated with various matter, yet none of them took the small pox.
Yours, &c.
WM. WOODVILLE.
Ely Place, Jan. 11, 1800.
OF WASHINGTON.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
IN the stores of some of our dry goods merchants, we observe a neat tribute to the memory of the illustrious WASHINGTON. It is a pocket-
et handkerchief, lately imported from Glasgow, in Scotland, on which is wrought a scene representing the death of the General, attended by his two Physicians, Mrs. Washington, and one of his domestics. On each side of the plate are appropriate inscriptions, of which the sentiments are so impressive that we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of copying them.
On one side.
“He united and adorned many excellent characters; at once the patriot and politician; the soldier and the citizen; the husbandman and the Hero; the favorite of the Genius of Liberty; the Father of American Independence; the promoter of her extensive and brotherly union; the pillar of her Constitution; the President of her Senate; and the Generalissimo of her Armies.
“He was great in the Council and in the Field.”
On the other side.
“He possessed and displayed extraordinary abilities, and unexampled self-command and self-denial; moderate in Prosperity, undaunted amid Danger, unbroken by Adversity, firm and unmoved amid the violence or reproach of Faction, unperverted by great and general applause.
“He was great in Arts and in Arms.”
Under the whole.
“First in War, first in Peace, and first in the hearts of Americans; first in the eyes of the World; he was unrivalled as a Statesman, as a Soldier, as a Senator; and he is embalmed by the tears of America, entombed in the hearts of his countrymen, admired by the enlightened of all lands, immortalized by his own great actions and the regrets of mankind.”
To this print is a companion, representing the Genius of Liberty weeping over the urn of her Hero.
Over it.
“How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
“How lov'd, how valued once, avails thee not, &c.”
On one side.
“Why do America weep? Why are her courts and her churches covered with funeral black? Why are her sons clad in sable, and appointed to a long mourning?
“Senator. We lament him who gave stability to our Constitution and energy to our Councils.
“Citizen. The guardian of our rights and liberties, civil and religious, as our peace and prosperity is withdrawn.”
On the other side.
“Know ye not that there is a Prince and a Great man fallen in Columbia?—The immortal Washington is gone. He to whom all eyes were turned in the hour of danger is gone.
“Soldier. And have we survived?—Must we no more behold him who led us forth to Victory and Glory?
“Sailor. He who protected our trade, and reared our Navy, and made our ports the resort of the world, is no more.”
Under the whole.
“Sic transit gloria mundi.”
THE VENETIAN PRISON.
The following account of the Prigioni Pubbliche, or Great Common Prison in Venice is given by Dr. Mosely, an English Gentleman, who, with some difficulty obtained permission from the inquisitors to visit it on the 16th of September, 1787.
“I WAS conducted through the Prison, with one of its inferior dependants. We had a torch with us. We crept along narrow passages, as dark as pitch. In some of them, two people could not pass each other. The cells are made of massy marble, the architecture of the celebrated Lam-fovina.
“The cells are not only dark and black as ink, but being surrounded and confined with huge walls, the smallest breath of air can scarcely find circulation in them. They are about nine feet square on the floor, arched at the top, and between six and seven feet high in the highest part. There is to each cell a round hole, of eight inches diameter; through which the prisoner's daily allowance of twelve ounces of bread, and a pot of water is delivered. There is a small iron door to the cell. The furniture of the cell
is a little straw, and a small tub; nothing else. The straw is renewed, and the tub emptied, through the iron door, occasionally.
“I saw one man who had been in a cell thirty years; two, who had been in twelve years; and several who had been eight or nine years in their respective cells.
“By my taper's light I could discover the prisoners' horrid countenances. They were all naked. The man who had been there thirty years, in face and body, was covered with long hair. He had lost the arrangements of words, and order of language. When I spoke to him, he made an unintelligible noise; and expressed fear and surprize; and, like some wild animals in deserts, which have suffered by the treachery of the human race, or have an instinctive abhorrence of it, he would have fled like lightning from me if he could.
“One whose faculties were not so obliterated; who still recollected the difference between day and night, whose eyes and ears, though long closed with a silent blank, still languished to perform their natural functions, implored in the most piercing manner, that I would prevail on the jailor to murder him, or give him some instruments to destroy himself. I told him I had no power to serve him in this request. He then entreated I would use my endeavors with the inquisitors to get him hanged; or drowned in the Canal Orfano. But even in this I could not serve him. Death was a favor I had not interest enough to procure for him.
“This kindness of death however, was during my stay in Venice, granted to one man, who had been “from the cheerful ways of man cut off,” thirteen years.
“Before he left his dungeon, I had some conversation with him; this was six days previous to his execution. His transport at the prospect of death was surprising. He longed for the happy moment. No faint ever exhibited more fervor in anticipating the joys of a future state, than this man did at the thoughts of being relieved from life, during the four days mockery of his trial.
“It is in the Canal Orfano, where the vessels from Turkey and the Levant perform quarantine. This place is the watery grave of many who have committed political, or personal offences against the state and senate, and of many, who have committed no offences at all. They are carried out of the city in the middle of the night, tied up in a sack with a stone fastened to it; and thrown into the water. Fishermen are prohibited, on forfeiture of their lives, against fishing in this district. The pretence is the plague. This is the secret history of people being lost in Venice.
“If there be an hell—the idea of which a virtuous mind can be 'susceptible,'—this is that hell; and some Italian devil was its inventor. Such a one, as he of that country who, to accomplish the eternity of the perdition of his enemy, beguiled him to disclaim his faith, to save his life; then instantly stabbed him to the heart to prevent his repentance.”

Jonathan Edgerly
Must have a settlement with his Customers.
IT is now nearly three years since he has called for a settlement; and will any say, after the Post has waited thus long! “call again,”! “HA!NT got the money now.”—He hopes this will not be the worn out plea of ONE! He is determined on a settlement, and purposes to be at the following places with the Accounts ready for each person, and expects they will come prepared to discharge their accounts cheerfully.
He will be at Mr. Samuel French's in Gilmantown, the 15th September next. At Meredith bridge, on the 16th Sept. At Campton, on the 17th and 18th Sept. At Center-harbour, the 19th Sept. At Sandwich, the 20th Sept. At Maj. Smith's in Moultonborough, the 21st Sept. At Mr. Andrew Jewett's in Wolfborough, the 23rd September.

FOUR Aids-du-camps are to be appointed to attend his Majesty during the war. The Right Hon. Lord LEVERSON GOWER and the Hon. Mr. CHARLES FITZROY are mentioned.
Silver Medals, in commemoration of the happy escape of his Majesty at Drury-lane Theatre, have been struck, by order of Mr. Sheridan; the front represents Providence protecting the King from the Traitorous attempt against his life, figuratively displayed by a shield and showered arrows, portraying the Sovereign's safety, and encircled, are the words, "GOD Save the King!" On the reverse of the medal is the British Crown in the center of a wreath of Laurel, the radiant beams of Glory spreading their influence over it; the words, "preserved from Assassination, May 15, 1800;" and on the knot of the Wreath "Give GOD Praise!"
By Gen. Massena's orders some of the beautiful aqueducts at Genoa were dug up, for the purpose of casting bullets of the lead.

A letter from Dieppe, announces that an English brig, which had taken some days before, seven fishing boats belonging to that port, and carried them to Delf, had been ordered by the British government to send them back to Dieppe with their crews, where they are now arrived.
Lord EDWARD BENTINCK's dispatches, with the account of the surrender of Genoa, have been intercepted by Bonaparte, so that it is unlikely that event will be gazetted for some time.
Bonaparte having come so suddenly upon the Milanese, it is feared he will have intercepted all the correspondence from the South of Italy, as well as from Germany, and that he will by these means obtain much information.

Dreadful Explosion at Nantes.
NANTES, MAY 26.
Yesterday, at noon, one of the towers of the castle, containing about eight or nine hundred thousand pounds of powder blew up, with a tremendous noise. The buildings attached to the tower has been partly destroyed. In a moment the great court of the castle, the ditches, surrounding trees, courts, and several quarters of the town, were covered with ruins: several houses were violently shaken, and some thrown down. A 4-pounder was carried beyond the ditch to the foot of the terrace of the court, the wheels of the carriage were carried another way; another 4-pounder with its carriage and wheels was blown to the top of the ci-devant church of the Carmelites. A bar of iron, very thick, and long, was twisted and broken, and fell into the court of the prison of Boulay, with some balls and other wrecks.
An inestimable quantity of pages of glass was broken. Many pieces of furniture were thrown down. Several trees in the court-yard were much damaged; windows and doors were burst open, and many houses unroofed.
One universal scream of terror was heard throughout the city. The alarm became general in a moment; almost all the inhabitants ran out of their houses. The report spread with the quickness of lightning, and the castle was blown up. A thick and dark cloud rose from the place of the disaster, and redoubled the consternation.
There was reason to fear that the whole building would take fire, and that the flames would catch the grand magazine of powder. The houses were immediately abandoned, and between 15 and 20,000 persons of all ages and sexes fled towards the barriers to escape this scene of horror.
The Prefect and General Gilbert gave orders. Strong detachments of the garrison and national guard proceeded towards the castle, got possession of all the avenues, and assisted the firemen, who distinguished themselves in a very extraordinary manner. Order was soon re-established. The number of victims of this fatal accident is considerable. The grand croix, behind the altar of the church of Sainte Croix, was thrown down, wounded the priest, who was saying mass, and killed the clerk. Yesterday evening it was said that the number of killed and wounded was between 150 and 200. The wounded have been sent to the hospitals.
It is not known how the fire began. The explosion took place at noon, when happily the workmen had left off work.
The church of St. Nicholas having been much shaken by the explosion, at the time of the celebration of mass, the people hurried to the doors, and several were thrown down and wounded. The same accident took place at the church of St. Laurent.
The ditches of the castle are filled with vast ruins. Fragments of wall of great thickness, mark, at the same time, the strength of the building thrown down, and of the explosion. Those enormous masses have driven out a great volume of water from the ditches below the parapet.
MAY 27.
The shock was felt at Reze, and the explosion heard at Nort and Loroux. The zeal of the citizens has been very great. Yesterday evening 1500 shirts and shifts had already been sent to the hospitals. A play was given for the benefit of the sufferers, and a collection is to be made in all the sections.
Emperor of Russia.
So great (says the London Evening Post) is the antipathy of the Emperor of Russia to the English, that he refused to see the nephew of the Due de Harcourt, because he wore an English uniform, observing at the same time, he would be happy to see him as a French Emigrant; but M. de H. refused to resign his commission for the honour of being introduced to Paul. A Turkish valet is his favourite, and the valet's favourite is madame Chevalier, a French actress, from Hamburg, who, it is supposed, has no small influence on the Russian cabinet, and perhaps renders no small services to the French government.
SANDUSKY, (S. W. Territory) June 1. The Chiefs of the Senekes, and Wyandot nations of Indians, have lately been very active in securing some stolen horses and the thieves, professing great anxiety to live in amity with the United States. They also say, that ten other nations concur with them in their pacific sentiments.

PHILADELPHIA, August 5.
UNITED IRISHMAN.
No doubt the following described person will soon be in this State, he has heard from some good Democrat where Thieves get appointed to the sacred seats of Justice.
TO THE PUBLIC.
Capt. Delano, late of the brig Belona , from Sligo, Ireland, thinks it a duty he owes to the Public to inform them, that a person by the name of EDWARD BARRET, embarked on board his vessel amongst a number of other passengers for this country. Some time after he failed, he found out that this Barret had escaped prison, where he had been confined, and was under sentence of Death, for heading a party of United Irishmen; and that there was a reward of 100 Guineas offered by Government for his apprehension. This knowledge would not probably have come to the ears of Capt. Delano, had not Barret's infamous conduct while on board the Belona , led to an inquiry who he was—While some of the passengers on board, as well as the captain, were treated in the most villainous manner, he had the address, with some other, almost to persuade them to put the captain in irons, and take charge of the vessel, without any provocation. Capt. Delano, is induced to believe, that this dangerous fellow is now in this city, and hopes the public will have cautious eyes upon him.
New-York, Aug. 2, 1800.
AUGUST 7. A vessel arrived at Norfolk, lately brought in 13 persons which were picked up in an open boat in the Atlantic Ocean. They were driven to sea when on their passage from one of the Western Islands to another. They subsisted for 5 days on oranges and beans, without water. One of them is a priest; and some of them helped old men from 60 to 70 years of age. They were completely destitute, and have since their arrival depended upon charity for their subsistence; which, to the credit of humanity, has been competent.
Extracts from the Sch'r. Betsey's log book, Capt. Tuttle from St. Thomas, arrived at Charleston, S. C.
July 10, parted with the Adams frigate, being then in lat. 30, 36, long. 73, 20. The Adams was to have come off Charleston, but she being in bad order in her upper works, and her bowsprit dangerously sprung, expect she has gone to New-York. The Adams has captured seven privateers and recaptured eleven merchantmen, since she has been on the West-India station.
NEW-YORK, August 8.
In the Abby from Ireland, there were 36 passengers. One of them informs, that the expedition which Gen. Abercrombie commands, is to proceed against Majorca; an island belonging to the Spaniards, in the Mediterranean, near Minorca, already taken by the English.
AUGUST 9.
ACCIDENT. Yesterday afternoon, as the Garrison on Governor's Island were exercising, a part of a cartridge remaining in the breech of a gun, occasioned an unexpected explosion, and dreadfully shattered the arm of one of the privates belonging to the artillery. The regimental surgeon being on business at New-York, his place was fortunately supplied by the accidental arrival of Dr. Hearn of New-York; a few minutes after the unhappy affair took place—He amputated the arm with the greatest care and expedition, and we have the satisfaction to hear that the man is in a fair way of recovery.
PROVIDENCE, August 13.
An officer of the General Greene has corrected the account lately published of an affair between that ship and an English one. The facts are as follows:
"The British ship was not a 74, but the Melampus frigate, of 44 guns; that the British Captain, after having obtained Capt. Perry's permission, sent an officer on board the brig under convoy of the General Greene (the Active, Brown of Salem, from N. Orleans) who remained on board but a few minutes. Capt. Perry afterwards asked Capt. Brown, how the officer had treated him; he replied with the utmost politeness. Both ships had all hands to quarters, and ready at a moment's warning to apply the matches to the guns."
[Persons should be more cautious than they are in relating stories of the meeting of United States vessels with English. By the official accounts of individuals the feelings of our naval Commanders are frequently injured. Trials are magnified to things of consequence; and expressions are imputed to them which there was no occasion for uttering: Thus our captains, who possess a magnanimous courage, are exhibited to the world as boasting Hectors. They perform their duty upon the ocean with proper firmness, without blustering like an English Privateer; and when they return to Port do not proclaim their deeds in the mode of a gasconading Frenchman.]
WORCESTER, August 13.
MAD DOGS.
Persons who own dogs, ought to be very attentive to them, as several have run mad, and many they symptoms of approaching madness; it would be well to keep them at home and not let them run at large.
BOSTON, AUGUST 13.
ABOUT "OUR ENVOYS."
The ship Providence, Adams, of Providence, has arrived at New-York from Barcelona. By this vessel some information from Cetté, of the date of June 7th, has been received, stating, that the American Commissioners at Paris had closed the business of their mission with the deputies of the French nation, and waited only the assent of the Chief Consul, who was then absent from Paris. All we shall say on this paragraph is, that no intelligence like it had been received in London, on the 24th June; and that the absence of the Chief Consul would not retard the transmission of the result of the negotiation to the President of the United States, whose assent is as necessary as that of Bonaparte's.
A great part of the abuse of the Administrators of the Federal Government, issues from jail-birds—From Cooper, through the lever of the Aurora; and from Callender, who dates his productions from "Richmond gaol." Such fellows, thus situated, it is true, have a prescriptive right to rail at government:
"For all goes wrong, in Church and State, Seen through perspective of the gate." But the public ought to know the sources from whence the abuse proceeds, that they may estimate it accordingly.
August 15.
Letters from Norfolk, say that the yellow fever exists in that city, but the Norfolk Herald, asserts that the town is as healthy as ever at this season.
A letter from Norfolk, July 31, says, It is more likely here now than has been known since the place was settled. Ten persons died yesterday.
A schooner arrived yesterday in 8 days from Norfolk; and we learn, that although it had been sickly there, a favorable change had been produced by recent rains.
Information for Sailors.
In a late claim for wages by the sailors of an American ship, in England, who had left their vessel immediately after she arrived in port, and before she was unladen, the verdict was in favour of the defendant. An act of Congress declares, that a seaman shall forfeit his wages if he leaves his ship before she is discharged. In the case above alluded to, 43 seamen left the vessel, to whom about £60 each was due.
No credit is due to the Southern account of a naval action in the European seas. The Combined Fleet was in Brest harbour the 12th June.
The crops of wheat to the westward and northward are exuberantly abundant.
COMMUNICATION.
If the Federalists had one hundred votes out of one hundred and thirty-eight, they might perhaps without manifest folly or rashness throw away thirty of their votes to secure the man they prefer, and to prevent the election of the candidate whom they cordially esteem and respect, but do not prefer: But as the Electors do not meet together in one room and cannot concert the choice, and as the Federalists at the last election had only seventy-one when they had New-York, and as the twelve votes of that State, will be dead against them this fall, common sense and common prudence require that they should unite. By dividing their strength, it is clear that they make it less. They make themselves weak and the adversary strong. False glosses are put on facts to disguise them. But this varnish wets with every morning's dew and rubs off, or melts at the touch. The Federalists must join to support their cause, or lose it.—Any good Federalist is better to preside over the U. States, than a Jacobin. Let us fairly and unitedly vote for the best man, and for him the Federalists generally think the next best, and then we unite all the chances that union and good sense can derive from local and personal attachments as well as from public principles.
CONSUL BONAPARTE.
The following intercepted letter has been published at Leghorn: It develops some curious facts, and shews the talents of Bonaparte.
Dispatch from the Chief Consul, Bonaparte, to Gen. Massena.
Paris, March 22, 1800.
"I CONFESS, my dear general, that I am not at all satisfied with your last dispatches. Why those eternal complaints and reproaches? Do you think we might have managed affairs better? We do not rest on beds of roses here; and if our armies are so weak it is because our resources are extremely weak. The most pressing orders have already been given for supplying you with the necessary articles. You must have already received what concerns the artillery department. Since the loan could not be effected in Holland, I am only enabled to send you five or six hundred thousand livres, instead of the four million that had been promised. Apply this money to paying the army and let the contractors and those employed under them complain; should those gentlemen wish to quit the service, menace them with death; and be as good as your word; there is no want of adventurers of that description, whom the love of gain will allure to the army. Our care must be directed to the soldier who suffers and fights. By no means count on the reinforcements which you desire."
"If you find it difficult to maintain an army of 30,000 men in the Genoese, what would you do with a full greater number? I cannot spare a single demi-brigade of veteran troops: all I am able to do for you is to keep a few weak battalions of conscripts to the department of Var, to dispel the discontented in the South of France; in case of necessity, you might unite those troops with your army. It grieves me that you suffer yourself to be misled by accounts which ought not to be relied on. If the imperial army actually has the 133 battalions which give you so much uneasiness, what would be the consequence? How is it possible for the enemy to employ even one half of his forces in the mountainous position you occupy? Can he attack you otherwise than with single columns?"
"And are you not the brave the fortunate Massena! Do you not command the best infantry in the World! Is not the active and intelligent French soldier superior to all the troops of Europe in mountainous districts? Besides, the enemy can convey provisions only for a small number of troops in the mountains, as they are in want of mules. No, my dear General! the superiority of the enemy gives me no uneasiness—that can only be excited by the plans which they may hit upon; but strong as the situation is, you are not entirely out of danger. I will tell you what a skilful General might undertake against you."
"By daily attacks he would harry your center and right wing towards the sources of the Taro; the Bifagno, and la Polveriera, while he would vigorously attack the left, and endeavor to gain one of the three passes leading to Savona, Finale, and Albenga. Should he succeed in this attempt your army would be divided into two corps, and your communication with France cut off. But I believe German caution will never enter to daring a plan. Meanwhile you must carefully guard those three passes; and should the enemy attack you and carry one of those important points, (which is possible), then, my dear General, you must fall upon him like lightning, attack from the side of Genoa, while Suchet attacks him from Nice, and destroy every Austrian that should pass the Mountains."
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
There were not any of the U. S. cruisers, at St. Kitts the 1st July.
From an officer on board the ship of war Connecticut, of 24 guns, Capt. Tyson, to the Editor of the Connecticut Gazette, dated "St. Kitts, June 9, 1800."
"We arrived off the island of Portorico, on the 27th of October last, when we cruised for 30 days; during which time we relieved from French piracy, Capt. Mitchell a schooner belonging to Baltimore, from Portorico. We proceeded to St. Kitts to join the American squadron for the windward islands commanded by Captain Morris, and on the passage, off St. Eustatia, recaptured the brig Pene-lope of New-York."
"We arrived at St. Kitts on the 15th Dec. and left there immediately for the island of Guadalupe, and on the 29th of the same month, off that island, captured the copper-bottomed French privateer brig L'Italie Conquiste, of 12 guns, and pierced for 18. A few days after we ran on shore a ship from Bourdeaux, of 20 guns, loaded with wine and brandy; the vessel and cargo were lost."
"Since the above we have retaken, in company with the frigate Adams, a schooner belonging to Boston; and on the 1st of May off Portorico, in company with the U. S. brig Richmond, Capt. Law, a ship from Philadelphia, with a very valuable cargo on board."
"Within a few days we have captured two French privateer schooners of 2 guns and 50 men each, retaken a brig from Baltimore, and arrived in this port with them this morning."
"The ship Connecticut is one of the fastest sailing vessels in the American navy; we have seen nothing that could beat her."
"I find by the last acts of Congress, that the salvage for all recaptured vessels since the 3d of March last, is reduced to 1/8; the Judge of the Court of Admiralty, at this place says he shall pay no attention to that law, and still continues to allow (in all cases where British cruisers are concerned) the salvage under a former law of Congress agreeable to the time they are in possession of the enemy."
The valuable copper-bottomed sloop Gen. Greene, taken on her passage from N. York to the Spanish Main, has been cleared at Halifax.
The Gangres has sent to Philadelphia, the brig Dispatch, of and for Baltimore, from Gonaives, with a valuable cargo of sugar and coffee, re-captured after being in possession of the French 12 days.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Ship Manilla, from London and the Cape de Verde, has arrived at Nantucket. She was plundered by two French Privateers, in lat. 29, long. 53, 20. They had captured two Southern American vessels.
Ship Hunter, 32 days from Bonavista, arrived at N. Bedford, was plundered by a French Privateer, July 22.
Arrived at N. York, ship Providence, Adams, of Providence, of 24 guns and 80 men, from Barcelona. On her passage fell in with a British sloop of war of 28 guns and 200 men. After an examination of papers, the Br. commander proposed sending her for Halifax; to which measure the Captain and Supercargo had weighty objections, and pointed to their guns. Both crews were at quarters; and after digging the American 20 hours, the Britain took it expedient to steer off.
Brig Fanny and Jane, arrived at N. York from New-Orleans, was boarded by a New-England privateer, the First Lieutenant of which destroyed some of the men's protections, and ordered his sailors to flog the second mate of the brig for affording him, which they did most cruelly.
Brig Little Sarah, from New-London for Jamaica, was lately plundered by a French privateer which had taken Sch'r. Sufannah, Loupion, of St. John, N. B. and put her crew on board a vessel which has since arrived at New-York.

ALL persons indebted
to the estate of Capt. ROBERT FURNESS, late of Portsmouth, deceased, are requested to make immediate payment; and if any have demands against said estate they are requested to exhibit the same for settlement to MARGARET FURNESS, Administratrix on said estate. Portsmouth, Aug. 12, 1800.

KNOXVILLE, July 16. Before the Federal Court, sitting in this town, for the district of Hamilton and Washington, on Friday last came on the trial of George, a Cherokee Indian, charged with having in conjunction with another Indian called the Little Rabbit, murdered a white man named James Johnstone. The evidence chiefly consisted of the prisoner's own voluntary confession, which was that himself and the Rabbit had left their homes, for the purpose of murdering somebody. Johnstone's being the first house they came to, George shot at him through a crack in the house, but not having killed him, they both pushed in, while he was endeavouring to get his gun, and with knives put a period to his existence. These facts being proved to the Jury, they found him guilty; the sentence was pronounced in proper form, and the culprit was executed in pursuance thereof on the evening of the succeeding day.
Great exertions, we are informed, are making by the chiefs to apprehend the Little Rabbit, and bring him to justice, which exertions we hope will be attended with success.
NEW-HAVEN, August 13. Extracts of a letter from a Gentleman at Marietta, to his friend in this City, dated July 20, 1800. "Our country is populating with amazing rapidity, and we shall soon form a State of the Territory. Forests bow beneath the hardy hand of industry. Towns spring up, as it were, out of the earth. Our state will be of considerable importance in a few years. From its centre the navigable rivers flow, on one hand, by the Ohio and Mississippi, into the Gulf of Mexico; on the other, by the lakes, into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Thus our commerce will, in time, occupy those two grand arteries of North-America."
"Ten rods from my house is building the Brig Marietta of eighty tons. She will be laden with flour, and other produce of our settlement, and will descend the Ohio and Mississippi, to the Atlantic, in February next, carrying 800 barrels of flour. The industrious perseverance of the YAN-KEYS, has travelled here with us. It is matter of congratulation to us, in this settlement, that the Connecticut Reserve is soon to be peopled with inhabitants from New-England, whose manners and habits are more congenial to ours, than those of the other parts of the territory."
PHILADELPHIA, August 12. A General Court Martial, consisting of thirteen officers of the army, has been in session at the Union Hotel, in this city, since the 24th ult. The subjects before them are, an officer of Dragoons, from the State of Tennessee, and a Captain of Artillery, from Fort Jay, in the State of New-York. The court is, to have been in council for some time, on Wednesday and Thursday last with doors closed, and on Thursday they, for special reasons, adjourned until this day. We learn that Capt. James Bruff of the artillery, presides, and Capt. Campbell Smith of the western army, officiates as the judge advocate. Members collected from Norfolk, Harper's Ferry, city of Washington, Baltimore, Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia, New-York, and intermediate places.
GRATITUDE. Often of latter time, have my feelings been excited, that we of this city might experience grateful hearts , for the many favours dispensed by an all BENEFICENT CREATOR , who appears disposed to try us, by showering down his divine blessing, in an abundant manner—witnessed by the great plenty of our crops of every kind;—to which is annexed his all protecting Arm of power, which has mercifully preserved us from the devastating Pestilence of former years.—That to a grateful mind , his mercies must appear new every morning, when we consider that to those outward multiplied favours is also added (which, tho' last, is not the least) His Grace, which is richly dispensed to all who are willing and obedient to partake of this inestimable blessing; which is able to sweeten all our cares here, and prepare us for a happy eternity hereafter, if rightly attended to.
A London-paper says, a large barge has been stationed near London bridge for several days, for the purpose of taking soundings for the foundation of a New Bridge to be built of Iron, after that magnificent one over the Wier, near Sunderland. The New Bridge is proposed to be upon a grand plan of three arches; the center to admit ships, to pass with striking their top and top-gallant masts. The first elevation it is supposed will be taken from Cannon-street, that the descent may be gradual and easy for carriages.
From a Wilmington (Delaware) Paper. The following is the neat product of a single grain of rye, raised at Stanton, a few miles from this place:—113 stalks, 107 heads, 6327 grains—in quantity two gills. At the head of Chester, in Maryland, is a Lombardy poplar, which sprouted from the ground last spring, and now measures eight feet in height.
BOSTON, August 18. ELECTIONEERING! ON the ensuing Grand Election in December, the following names will compose the STAUNCH FEDERAL LIST, viz. JOHN ADAMS, CHARLES COTESWORTH PINKNEY. And the motto to this list will be "UNITE OR DIE."
DEMOCRATIC LIST, No. 1. JOHN ADAMS, ANY BODY—except C. C. PINKNEY. The motto—"Better half a Loaf than no Bread." REMARK.—If the Federal Electors throw away their votes, JEFFERSON will again come in Vice-President, though a majority of all the Electors be Federal—For though he should not have a majority of the votes—he will have the next highest number to the President. If the Electors of Massachusetts and New-Hampshire, at the last election, had given an unanimous Vote for "ADAMS & PINKNEY," Mr. JEFFERSON never would have been Vice-President.—Learn to be wise from former ills, and thou shalt do full well.
STAUNCH DEMOCRATIC LIST. THOMAS JEFFERSON, AARON BURR. The motto—"Aut Cæsar, aut Nullus." —Anglice—"Neck or Nothing." [The marauding business which the infamous Gen. Bowles has pursued, for several years past, on the southern frontiers of the United States, has received a powerful check;—in the following intelligence, we perceive a severe blow given to the ambitious schemes of this unprincipled invader.]
From Philadelphia, August 12. We have the pleasure of seeing, in the last Georgia Papers, accounts of the expulsion of the Renegado General Bowles, from the position which he had lately taken in the Spanish Territories in Florida.—The particulars that have reached us are as follows:—
Savannah, July 24. We are informed by an indisputable authority that the Governor of the province of West-Florida, Lieut. Col. Don Vincente Folch at the head of an expedition composed of nine galleys, retook, a few days since, the fort of St. Mark on Apalachicola, sunk a small vessel, and captured another, in which the English adventurer and notorious vagabond, William Augustus Bowles, after finding the Chisholm Indians inclined to favor the interest of Spain, had made his escape up the waters of that river. Also, that the officers, who so shamefully surrendered that strong fortification to the crazy whims of the renowned director general of Mulcoghee, are placed under arrest, to be tried by a regular court martial. And that the Spaniards are in full hopes of putting out of the world that common enemy of peace, (Bowles) by the offer of great presents to the Indians who shall deliver him dead or alive, in Pensacola or St. Augustine."
LOUISVILLE, (Georgia) July 22. Copy of a letter from Col. Hawkins, to his Excellency Governor Jackson, dated Fort Wilkinson, July 18, 1800. I informed your Excellency in my last by Tavin, of the unexpected surrender of the Fort of St. Mark's to Bowles and his partisans. As soon as this shameful transaction was made known to the officers of his Catholic Majesty in Pensacola, they unanimously determined in a council of war, that his excellency Don Vicente Folch, should form an expedition, for the purpose of retaking that fort; and for its better success, he should command it in person. To this effect seven vessels of war, and two merchantmen, armed, were put in readiness, and on board of them were embarked the troops and stores that were thought necessary for the undertaking—this force sailed on the 17th June.
I have been informed by two runners to our Chiefs, from the Simenolas, who are at, or near St. Mark's on the arrival of this force, that the expedition has succeeded. One of them a Cussetah, reports, "that the fleet appeared off the mouth of Apalachicola, and one ship of war failed up and began to cannonade the fort; that on the appearance of this force, general Bowles opened the stores, invited the Indians to take all the goods they could carry off, and to clear themselves—this they did, and he and his partisans quitted the fort, and retreated to Miccosukee." The other, a Chisholm, reports, "that he and his companions were encamped a little
on this side of the fort of St. Mark's; that nine sail of Spanish galleys were seen coming up the river, at light of which, Bowles began to put what goods and ammunition he could in a small vessel, and set out up the river; and his second man took the keys, opened all the stores to the red people, and told them to take any thing they could carry off; but in the height of their plundering, the galleys approached so fast, firing a number of balls which hit and knocked down some of the wall, and sunk a small vessel lying under them, that the plunderers were alarmed and fled.—Gen. Bowles pushed up the river in his small vessel, but being discovered, and pursued by a galley, he and his Indians quitted her, and went on shore, and the galley captured the vessel. He further states, that Bowles wanted the Chisholm Indians to fire on the Spaniards, which they refused.
I have the honor to be, with sincere regard and esteem, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient servant, BENJAMIN HAWKINS. His Excellency James Jackson, Governor of Georgia.

We learn that some of Dr. Waterhouse's children are at this time in Dr. Aspinwall's Hospital, in the same room with two persons who have the small-pox full out upon them; one the natural way. This will go far to convince doubters that the Kine-pox secures the human system from the small-pox. We understand that the Dr. means that every one of his children who have been inoculated for the Kine-pox shall undergo this trial.
NAVAL AFFAIRS. The Captain of a Danish ship arrived at New-York, says, that July 26, lat. 19, he saw the U. S. sloop Warren, of 18 guns, Capt. Newman, recapture an American brig from the French. The Pickering, of 14 guns, Lt. Hiller, anchored for a few hours at Charleston, to take in fresh provisions, the 14th July. The activity of her commander is warmly spoken of at the Southward.—It deserves praise all round the compass.

OLIVER PEABODY, Esq. is re-elected County Treasurer.
Of the Cow Pox. —A Boston paper of the 8th inst. mentions, that Dr. Waterhouse, continues to inoculate with success the Cow Pox, or as some with great propriety call it, the Kine-pox , from Kine the plural of cow. This mild disease by not being contagious renders this discovery one of the most valuable to humanity in the annals of medicine.
SACO TOLL BRIDGES. The toll on the lower Bridges over Saco river is taken off.
MAD DOGS! On Sunday a Mrs. HODGSON, of Newington, we hear was bitten by a mad dog, which belonged to the house; the same dog had for some time been lurking about this town, and was particularly attached to a store in Market-street, having discovered some unfavorable symptoms a few days since, was driven away, from which he went home—we hear of no other damage—he was immediately shot.
Instances of mischief being done by mad dogs frequently occur of late. We are informed that one of this description was killed in Jaffrey, last week, which had bitten a large number of cattle, hogs, &c. As the dog passed through Dublin, he attacked a woman—penetrated her clothes, with his teeth, and left the print of them in her flesh; but no serious consequences are apprehended.

MARRIED. —A White Plains, (N. Y.) Dr. B. WESTON, aged 76, to Miss EMMA MERRITT, aged 29; after a teasing courtship of ten years.
In this town, Mr. JOHN MARSHALL to Miss MARY TRUNDY FREDICK. DIED. —At Charleston, (S. C.) on the 24th June, after six days illness, of a fever, Mr. JACOB WEEKS, of Greenland, aged 27. By his social and mercantile connections his death is sincerely regretted; amiable in person and manners, favored with a sound understanding, and a heart of sensibility, which made him rank high in the esteem of his numerous acquaintance—the merchant remembers and laments the loss of an honest man—the man of feeling of a brother—and sincerely sympathizes with the numerous afflicted relations, who deeply mourn his death! Oh may religion teach them to triumph, that he now lives forever with the blessed.
At Greenland, Miss POLLY HUSE, of Amesbury, in the State of Massachusetts, aged 23.
The funeral encomiums are too often the language of servile adulation, without any sincerity or regard to the difference of characters, and in reality are a severe satire on the deceased whom they seem to praise, by which means such compositions are become the common subject of ridicule; yet it must be acknowledged, that praise is the due reward of virtue, and may be a proper excitement to emulation, that there have been, and are, instances of such eminent virtue and goodness, as to put slander to the blush, and to extort even from those who will not imitate their virtues, a confession that they have left behind them, that good name which is better than riches: Of this the person abovenominated was a distinguished instance. But little known in these parts, nor ambitious to be known, (for true charity is not ostentatious; she seeketh not her own, but would rather be what she professes, than like a false charity seem to be what she is not.)—Yet her natural sweetness of disposition her unaffected benevolence, and engaging manners in company, her uncommon sensibility of the miseries of the afflicted, manifested by her unwearied attentions to them, and exertions to alleviate their distresses, and minister to their consolation, which was her uniform character throughout life, and her patience, humbleness and fortitude under her last painful illness, occasioned by excess in acts of charity and mercy to the afflicted, beyond her natural ability, have endeared her to all her particular acquaintances, will leave a sweet and lasting remembrance of her name in the minds of her weeping friends, and gives them solid ground of consolation, that their loss is her gain, and that tho' the riches of divine mercy and the merits of her Redeemer, she is now enjoying the gracious reward of a well-spent life in the bosom of her God; where life and death, sickness and sorrow shall no more be known. Let those who with to live beloved, and to die lamented, imitate her example.
At Norfolk, on the 30th ult. after a few days sickness, Mr. NATHL F. HAVEN, son of the Rev. Mr. Haven of Rochester. At Boston, Widow SUSANNAH AUSTIN, aged 71. In this town, Widow MARY SPINNEY aged 43—Widow ELIZABETH BENNET aged 94—and a child of Mr. Wm. King. There died in N. York, of various diseases (not including the yellow fever) from 3d of Aug. to the 10th—61 persons.

A KISS," said young Charles to a nun, "we allow, But tell me, my dear, is it proper, or common?"  Lovely Myra blush'd deep, and exclaim'd, "Why I vow, I think that a kiss is both proper and common!"  Anecdote of Dr. Watts.  THE doctor being one day in a coffee-house, observed two gentlemen looking steadfastly at him; at length he heard one of them say, pointing to him, "That is Dr. Watts!" The other, after some pause, replied—"Then he is a very little fellow!" On which the doctor immediately turned round, and delivered the following answer:-  "Were I so tall to reach the sky, Or grasp the ocean with a span, I would be measur'd by my soul— The mind's the standard of the man."
A Person having been put to great shifts to get money to support his credit; some of his creditors at length sent him word, that they would give him trouble. "Poh, (says he) I have had trouble enough to borrow the money, and had not need to be troubled to pay it again."
