STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE. In the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and five.
AN ACT for regulating the manufacture and sale of Bread.
WHEREAS, it is expedient that so necessary an article of consumption as bread should be so far regulated, that the citizens of this state might not be exposed to fraud as to the weight of bread; and as it is highly reasonable that bread like every other article of commerce or manufacture should be sold by some common standard easily discernible by the purchaser.

Approved, December 25, 1805.
Political Miscellany.
From the Newark Centinel.
MR. PAINTER, In course of one of my late peregrinations through the state of Connecticut, I accidentally lit on the following provoking letter, Invoice, &c. The paper whence they are taken was published in Hartford, January 14, 1783. Should they operate on the feelings of your readers as they have on mine, will scarcely be considered as an intrusion on their patience. Should there be a Tory in the whole scope of your readers, he must be blinded with prejudice indeed, and as void of feeling as inanimate nature itself, if remorse and shame seize him not, and he "lay his hand on his mouth, and his mouth in the dust and cry unclean, unclean!"
Although we may like christians forgive, yet there can be no evil in keeping in full view the savage treatment which we have received from a nation whose tender mercies are the most unparallelled cruelty. However, to give the devil his due, the nation alluded to stands not alone in the black list of inhuman butcheries, as a retrospective view of the days in which Canada was in possession of other masters, will fully confirm.—At a word, let those who prefer an English Crown or French Cap to the beautiful plumage of the American Eagle, read the following and "be refreshed."
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
TIM. TUGMUTTON, Esq.
Extract of a letter from captain Gerrish, of the New-England Militia, dated Albany, March 7, 1782.
"The peltry taken in the expedition, will, as you see amount to a good deal of money. The possession of this booty at first gave us pleasure; but we were struck with horror to find among the packages eight large ones, containing scalps of our unhappy country folks, taken in the three last years by the Senneka Indians, from the inhabitants of the frontiers of New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and sent by them as a present to Colonel Haldimand, Governor of Canada, in order to be by him transmitted to England. They were accompanied by the following curious letter to that gentleman."
Tioga, January 3, 1782.
May it please your Excellency, At the request of the Senneka Chiefs, I send herewith to your Excellency, under the care of James Boyd, eight packs of scalps, cured, dried, hoop'd and painted with all the Indian triumphal marks, of which the following is an invoice and explanation:
No. 1. Containing 43 scalps of Congress soldiers killed in different skirmishes; these are stretched on black hoops, 4 inches diameter; the inside of the skin painted red, with a small black spot to note their being killed with bullets. Also 62 of farmers, killed in their houses; the hoops red; the skin painted brown, and marked with a hoe; a black circle all round to denote their being surprised in the night, and a black hatchet in the middle, signifying their being killed with that weapon.
No. 2. Containing 98 of farmers, killed in their houses; hoops red; figure of a hoe, to mark their profession; great white circle and sun, to shew they were surprised in the day time; a little red foot, to shew they stood upon their defence, and died fighting for their lives and families.
No. 3. Containing 97 of farmers; hoops green, to shew they were killed in their field; a large white circle with a little round mark on it for the sun, to shew that it was in the day time: black bullet mark on some, hatchet on others.
No. 4. Containing 102 of farmers mixed of the several marks above; only 18 marked with a yellow flame, to denote their being of prisoners burnt alive, after being scalped, their nails pulled out by the roots, and other torments; one of these latter supposed to be a rebel clergyman, his hand being fixed to the hoop of his scalp. Most of the farmers appear by the hair to have been young or middle aged men; their being but 67 very grey heads among them all; which makes the service the more essential.
No. 5. Containing 88 scalps of women; hair long, and braided in the Indian fashion to shew they were mothers; hoops blue skin yellow ground, with little red tadpoles, to represent by way of triumph, the tears of grief occasioned by their relations; a black scalping knife or hatchet at the bottom, to mark their being killed with those instruments: 17 others, hair very grey; black hoops, plain brown colour no mark but the short club or the passatete, to shew they were knocked down dead or had their brains beat out.
No. 6. Containing 193 boys' scalps, of various ages; small green hoops, whitish ground on the skin, with red tears in the middle, and black bullet marks, knife, hatchet, or club, as their deaths happened.
No. 7. 211 girls, big and little; small yellow hoops; white ground; tears, hatchet, club, scalping knife, &c.
No. 8. This package is a mixture of all the varieties above-mentioned, to the number of 122; with a box of birch bark, containing 29 little infants' scalps of various sizes; small white hoops; white ground; no tears, and only a little black knife in the middle, to shew they were ript out of their mothers' body.
With these packs the chiefs sent to your excellency the following speech, delivered by Coniogatowhie, in council, interpreted by the Elder Moore, the trader, and taken down by me in writing.
SPEECH.
Father, We send you herewith many scalps, that you may see that we are not idle friends. A blue belt.
Father, We with you to send these scalps over the water to the great king, that he may regard them and be refreshed; and that he may see our faithfulness in destroying his enemies, and be convinced that his presents have not been made to ungrateful people. A blue and white belt with red tassels.
Father, Attend to what I am now going to say; it is a matter of much weight. The great king's enemies are many, and they grow fast in number. They were formerly like young panthers; they could neither bite nor scratch; we could play with them safely; we feared nothing they could do to us. But now their bodies are become big as the elk, and strong as the buffalo; they have also got great and sharp claws. They have driven us out of our country, for taking part in your quarrel. We expect the great king will give us another country, that our children may live after us and be his friends and children as we are. Say this for us to the great king. To enforce it we give this belt. A great white belt with blue tassels.
Father, We have only to say further, that your traders exact more than ever for their goods; and our hunting is lessened by the war, so that we have fewer skins to give for them. This ruins us. Think of some remedy. We are poor and you have plenty of every thing. We know you will send us powder and guns, and knives and hatchets; but we also want shirts and blankets. A little white belt. I do not doubt but your Excellency will think it proper to give some further encouragement to those honest people. The high prices they complain of, are the necessary effect of the war. Whatever presents may be sent for them through my hands, shall be distributed with prudence and fidelity. I have the honour of being your excellency's most obedient, &c.
JAMES CRAUFORD.
State of New-Hampshire—Strafford, ss. NOTICE is hereby given to the proprietors of Land in the township of BARNSTEAD, in said county, that at a meeting of said proprietors, holden at Barnstead, on the 22d day of January, 1805, it was then and there voted to raise one cent on each acre of land throughout said town, (public rights excepted) for the purpose of defraying the expenses of said proprietors, and the same committed to me for collection—Therefore if not paid to me, at my dwelling-house in said Barnstead, by the nineteenth day of March next, the lands will be advertised for sale as the law directs. February 11, 1806. BENJAMIN HODGDON, Proprietors Collector.

National Legislature.
Ninth Congress—First Session.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, Feb. 3.
Mr. Quincy presented a memorial from the merchants of Boston representing the aggressions committed on the trade and neutral rights of the U. S. and concluding with suggesting the propriety of a special mission to the court of London.
Referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union.
A bill was received from the Senate to repeal in part the fourth section of an act to authorise the grants of land to the French inhabitants of Gallipolis, and for other purposes therein mentioned. This bill repeals so much of the act referred to as imposes the condition of actual settlement.
Referred to the committee on public lands.
A message was received from the President of the U. S. enclosing a letter from the governor of South Carolina, stating the cession to the U. S. of certain sites for forts, &c. on certain conditions.
Referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union.
A message was likewise received from the President of the United States, laying before the two houses, for the exercise of their constitutional powers as to providing the means for fulfilling them, six Indian treaties for the extinguishment of Indian rights to land within the United States.
The President states that the Senate had advised the ratification of these treaties, viz. 1. Treaty with the Wyandots, &c.—2. With the Wyandots, &c.—3. With the Delawares.—4. With the Chickasaws.—5. With the Cherokees.—6. With the Creeks.
Referred to the committee of ways and means.
Non-Importation. —Mr. J. Randolph said, the House would recollect the very important resolution referred on the motion of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Gregg) to the committee of the whole on the state of the union. It was no part of his purpose at this time to discuss the merits of that resolution; and it was still further from his purpose to throw any impediment, or create any delay in bringing forward that discussion; the more so, as he considered the whole country south of the seat of government, and more particularly that part of the country in which he resided decidedly interested in a speedy and prompt reception or rejection of the proposition.—His object in addressing the House was to obtain information from the proper authority, from the head of a department. He therefore submitted the following resolution.
Resolved , That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to lay before this house a statement of the exports and imports of the United States, to and from Great Britain and Ireland, and the American colonies of the same, for the two last years, distinguishing the colonial trade, from that of the mother country, and specifying the various articles of export and import, and the amount of duties payable on the latter.
Mr. Nicholson suggested the propriety of adding the following words to the resolution, in which the mover acquiescing, they were incorporated into it.
And also a statement showing in detail the quantity and value of the like articles of import brought into the U. S. from other nations respectively, with the rate and amount of duty thereon.
When the resolution, thus modified, was agreed to without a division.
Mr. Crowninshield then moved the following resolution.
Resolved , that the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to lay before this House, a statement of the amount of the exports and imports to and from the British dependencies other than those of America for the last two years.
This resolution was likewise agreed to without a division.
TUESDAY, Feb. 4.
The speaker laid before the house a letter from the governor of Orleans, covering a petition from the regents of the university of that territory, praying a donation of lands. Referred to the committee on the public lands.
Mr. Gregg called for the order of the day on a resolution offered by him to repeal so much of an act as authorises the appropriation of lands to the Yazoo claimants.
Mr. Smilie moved to postpone the consideration of this resolution to Monday week, that in the mean time the national business might be transacted, undisturbed by the irritation which this subject generally gave rise to.—The motion was agreed to—Ayes 65.
The House went into committee of the whole—Mr. Varnum in the chair—on the bill respecting bonds given by marshals.—After amending the same the committee rose, and the house ordered the bill to a third reading.
On the motion of Mr. Sloan the house went into a committee of the whole on the bill imposing a duty on slaves imported into the United States—Mr. John C. Smith in the chair. A variety of motions were made amendatory of the bill. After a short debate the committee rose, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again.
Mr. J. Randolph opposed leave being given them to sit again; and Messrs. Jackson and Smilie supported it;—when the question was taken at a late hour, and leave given—Ayes 73.
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 5.
Mr. J. Clay. The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Crowninshield) having laid on the table a resolution arising out of the present state of our foreign relations, and as that subject is one on which I think there cannot be too much deliberation before we act, or of which too many views cannot be taken, I will take the liberty of submitting some resolutions which I have drawn up and to which I ask the attention of the house.—In the present state of our relations with foreign powers, it appears to me that a system of commercial regulations mild and yet firm, one which can be carried into permanent effect without much inconvenience to ourselves, will be more effectual than any temporary expedients. If we are disposed to accept such a system, it will be looked upon by foreign nations as one in which we are likely to persevere.—They will consider its
probable effects in time of peace upon their colonial possessions, and they may be induced to enter into permanent regulations opening to us a trade with their colonies. The distinction attempted to be made between a war trade and an accustomed trade will be destroyed, and with it the only pretext upon which they founded the vexatious and depredations committed on American commerce. The present is a favorable moment for the adoption of such a plan.—At this time the ports of the belligerent powers are open, and the effect of the measures which I am about to propose, will not have an immediate distressing effect, upon the West-Indies. If these measures are taken, the powers of Europe will find that unless they admit our ships into their colonial ports in time of peace, the trade between their colonies and us, will be cut off by a system which will be but slightly injurious to ourselves. I think, I repeat it, that a permanent system, mild but firm, will be more likely to induce G. Britain in particular to recede from the unjust pretensions she has set up, than more violent and extreme measures, which from their very nature, and their injurious consequences to ourselves must be necessarily temporary.
Mr. J. Clay, concluded with offering the following resolutions—
Resolved , That after the day of next, no trade, or intercourse, in any ship or vessel, owned in whole, or in part, by any citizen, or subject, of any foreign government, shall be permitted between the U. States, or their territories, and any port, or place, in the colonies, or dominions, of any European power; which trade, or intercourse, is not permanently permitted by the laws or regulations of such European power, to be carried on in ships, or vessels, of the United States.
Resolved , That after the day of aforesaid, no goods, wares, or merchandise, shall be exported from the United States, or their territories, in any ship or vessel, owned in whole or in part, by any citizen or subject of any foreign government, to any port or place in the colonies or dominions of any European power, the importation of which into such port or place in ships or vessels of the United States, is not permanently permitted by the laws or regulations of such European power.
Resolved , That after the day of aforesaid, no goods, wares, or merchandise, shall be imported into the United States, or their territories, in any ship or vessel, owned in whole or in part, by any citizen or subject of any foreign government, from any port or place, in the colonies or dominions of any European power, the exportation of which, from such port or place, in ships or vessels of the United States is not permanently permitted by the laws or regulations of such European power.
Resolved , That after the day of aforesaid, no goods, wares, or merchandise, shall be imported into the United States, or their territories, in any ship or vessel, owned in whole or in part, by any citizen or subject of any foreign government, excepting articles of the growth, produce or manufacture of the colonies or dominions of such foreign government, unless such importation be expressly permitted by treaty between the U. States and such foreign government, or unless during a war in which the United States may be a party.
The house immediately considered these resolutions, and referred them to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
Mr. Varnum observed that considerable light would be thrown on the extent to which colonial products were exported from the U. S. by a statement of the amount of exports for which drawbacks were allowed. He, therefore, moved the following resolution:
Resolved , That the Secretary of the treasury be directed to lay before this House a statement of the amount of the revenue derived to the U. States, from merchandise, the growth, produce, or manufacture of any foreign country, which have heretofore been imported into the U. S. and exported from the same during the three last years.—This resolution was agreed to.
Mr. Clarke moved the following resolution which was agreed to.
Resolved , That the secretary of the navy be requested to inform this House of the nature and extent of the services rendered to the captive crew of the frigate Philadelphia, by the Danish consul at Tripoli.
Mr. Crowninshield observed that the House had on the 3d inst. directed the secretary of the treasury to lay before them a statement of imports and exports from G. Britain to the U. States for the last two years. It was probable the secretary would not be able to furnish a statement for the year 1805, but that he could make it for the years 1803, and 1804. Mr. C. said he had been anxious when this subject was before the House, to have received a statement for the year 1804. G. Britain seizes our ships loaded with colonial produce, on the idea that we did not enjoy the colonial trade during a period of peace. Whether this is a fact will be decided by the statement he wished to obtain, as the year 1802 was a period of peace. Mr. C. concluded by moving a resolution directing the secretary of the treasury to lay before the House a like statement of exports and imports for the year 1802, as was directed on the 3d inst. to be furnished for the last two years.
The House immediately considered this resolution and agreed to it.
The bill relating to bonds given by marshals was read a third time and passed.
The House again resolved itself into a committee of the whole—Mr. John C. Smith in the chair—on the bill imposing a duty of ten dollars on every slave imported into the U. States;—after several propositions for amendment, which were disagreed to, the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow—Ayes 69.
THURSDAY, Feb. 6.
The bill imposing a duty of ten dollars on every slave imported into the U. S. was read a third time.
Mr. John C. Smith stated, in a more detailed way, the objections previously offered to the provisions of the bill, and moved its recommittal to a select committee, in which the House concurred without a division.
A confidential message in writing was received from the President of the U. S. about 12 o'clock; whereupon the galleries were cleared. They remained cleared until near 4 o'clock, when the House adjourned.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1806.
FOREIGN.
We have had an opportunity to examine the several bulletins which succeeded those we have already communicated, and we find the French preserve a consistency in their accounts, whatever may be the events of the war. The positions which they unquestionably take, unequivocally express uncommon success in their military operations. Whatever reverse of affairs they may experience, we at present discover nothing which does not agree with their proudest expectations. By the 7th Italian Bulletin, we discover that the Austrians had left the Tagliamento, and had but feebly defended Gradisca. That they had abandoned Goritza, and were pursued on their route to Leybach. By the 8th, on the 24th November, the Austrians had left Trieste, and Gen. St. Cyr was in a position to watch the English or Russians who should land at Venice. By the 9th, we learn that St. Cyr had been warmly engaged with Prince Rohan, as he was attempting to join the Austrian army at Leybach. In this action the French represent that they took six thousand Infantry, beside the Cavalry, and that the Prince Rohan and other officers were among the prisoners. The French, as they proceeded towards Leybach, found the road covered with the baggage, which the Austrians in their hasty retreat had abandoned.
So far the Bulletins conduct us. Nothing which refutes this general statement has yet appeared. It is affirmed that consequent events have discovered the military talents of the Archduke Charles, and afforded him proof of a brave resistance. We must wait for more full information, before we can pronounce any thing upon these reports. From the Grand Army we have the successive bulletins, with the same uniform language of success. By the 27th, Murat had entered Brunn, on the 18th November, and this place was evacuated by the Austrians. The military stores taken at Brunn, sufficiently explain the manner of this evacuation. An action had ensued between Brunn and Olmutz, between the Austrian and advancing French army. As the position is determined, the fate of the French army is at that time ascertained. The Emperor of Austria had left Brunn, and by the 28th Bulletin, the Emperor of France had been received by a deputation of the States and by the Bishop. By the 29th, the Austrian Court had left Olmutz, and though the French head quarters were at Brunn, the French on the 23rd of November had advanced into the neighbourhood of Olmutz. So far the intelligence from the official papers proceeds. It is now said that on the 2d of Dec. an action had ensued at Wischau, in which the troops on both sides discovered the utmost bravery, and in which both proclaimed the victory.
DOMESTIC.
On the 20th December, the cession of Louisiana was celebrated at New Orleans. The Canal of the Ohio, at the rapids becomes more interesting to the Western States. A late statement of the public lands, gives still to the United States 300 millions of acres on this side the Mississippi. The lands beyond are of great extent.
In Virginia, the subject of a convention has been debated. The condition of the Slaves is a serious consideration to that State. By a late act, to prevent slaves from being brought into that Commonwealth, provision is made that all negroes receiving their freedom should be obliged, in twelve months, to leave the state, or forfeit their freedom. The influences of the free blacks, upon those enslaved, is the political cause of this extraordinary measure. So surely will principles, like those of slavery, in themselves wrong, involve endless difficulties in civil society. From Kentucky, we learn that an appropriation of 50,000 dollars is made, to be subscribed by the Governor in behalf of the Commonwealth, to the Ohio company, to be payable from the Treasury at five annual payments. In that State, is a new modification of the old Law of summons and petition without writ, or declaration, but without admitting bail. This act leaves all persons at liberty to act under the former laws. An act has also passed for a statement of all monies due to the state upon lands. About 70 acts passed the Legislature in the last session. Many of them regard seats of Justice, Court Houses, districts, towns, mills, &c.
From Chillicothe, we learn that 70 miles above that place the navigation of the Sciota has been safe and easy to the flour boats this season. A Judge has been removed from office in Ohio State for a voluntary absence from his duty, upon the plea of his private concerns. He has been removed, but not disqualified for office.
The New-York Legislature is in session at Albany. This city, upon the Hudson, is said to contain 8 thousand inhabitants, and to have in it 67 licenced public houses, and 174 grocers. The business of this city increases, from its great communications with the interior, notwithstanding the many towns in competition with it upon the river which opens for them all a communication with New-York, the most flourishing Commercial city in America. The petition of the Roman Catholics has been presented to the Senate of N. York by the Mayor of the city, respecting the oath supposed to exclude them from the Legislature. S. L. Mitchell is President of the New-York Manumission Society.
The reports are favorable to health. In Philadelphia, for the week ending Feb. 8, the deaths were 17; 10 adults and 7 children. In N. York, for the same time, 33; 15 adults and 18 children. The season continues to be moderate. Sal. Reg.
IMPORTANT REPORT!
The following article is copied from a Baltimore paper of Feb. 10th, received by the southern mail of last evening. The advices came down to the 19th Frimaire (10th December) from the French Grand Armies, which give accounts of Actions with little intermission, from the 12th to the 18th (3d to 9th Dec.)
"Arrived ship Commerce, Capt. J. Adams, 35 days from St. Ubes. She brings dispatches to government, from Mr. Bowdoin, our minister at Madrid, which were put on board about the 30th of December."
"The report at Lisbon and St. Ubes was, that an engagement had taken place along the whole French line, which continued with little intermission for eight days; when a fresh reinforcement to Bonaparte's army decided the fate of the battle, giving him a complete victory; FORTY THOUSAND Russians laid down their arms, and were sent home on parole! and TWENTY THOUSAND, which attempted to force their retreat, were cut to pieces. AN ARMISTICE WAS THE IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCE!—Such says Capt. Adams, was the report on the last of December at Lisbon."
"After the events which have occurred, there is nothing to render this action improbable, except the broken state of the Russian and Austrian armies: but as their situation may not have been altogether so desperate as represented in the bulletins; as they may have been reinforced by the whole of the Russian auxiliaries under Michelson, which were on their march to the seat of war—and as Bonaparte had previously wished a general engagement, which had been declined, it is not unlikely that he was indulged by his opponents after they had concentrated all their forces, flaking all their hopes on one last and desperate effort." Chronicle.
THE SHORT WAR.
It required a war of thirty years to bring about the treaties of Westphalia—and reduce the house of Austria within bounds of moderation and toleration. The same country has been now reduced to the most humiliating state in less than half as many weeks—look at the line of march. On September the fifteenth the Austrians entered Bavaria; levied contribution; assumed the government; incorporated the Bavarian burghers in the Austrian line; forced the elector to fly to Suabia.
On the eighth of October the German Emperor was at Munich, but in three days he was again at Vienna.
On the first of October the French crossed the Rhine.
On the fifteenth they took Ulm.
On the 20th they entered Munich.
On the 2d of November they defeated the Russians on the Inn.
On the 9th the German emperor fled to Brunn.
On the 11th the French defeated the Russians near Krems.
On the fifteenth they entered Vienna, that is in about 60 days after the German emperor had entered Bavaria, elated and flushed with an assurance of triumph, because unresisted.
On the 13th also the German emperor fled from Brunn to Olmutz.
On the 18th he fled again to Tropau, and since to Cracow, in ancient Poland—memorable lesson and reproach—compelled to seek refuge in the nation of which he had participated in the plunder.
The French conqueror, after having pacified Hungary, placed Upper and Lower Austria under a French police; established a national guard under French and Bavarian officers, with a force levied in Germany and paid by Germany of 80,000 men.
Pursued his route to Znaim, where one of the bulletins is dated—and thence to Brunn; which he entered unopposed; and has fortified and occupied by a French garrison.
Znaim is 35 miles S. S. W. of Vienna, 38 S. W. of Olmutz.
Olmutz is 80 miles N. N. E. of Vienna; on the Moravia river; 116 E. S. E. of Prague in Bohemia; and 162 S. E. of Dresden in Saxony—it is a strong place, memorable for being the prison of Lafayette, and for a blockade by the great Frederick in 1741—it is the true capital of the Marquisate of Moravia, though that distinction is sometimes given to
Brinn, the second town in Moravia, on the confluence of two rivers, Schwartz and Surlawa; it is defended by a strong regular fortification in an elevated position called the Spielberg, which baffled the great Frederick, in the next year after the blockade of Olmutz, from which place it is distant about 32 English miles in a S. W. direction; 100 miles from Prague and 156 from Dresden.
Cracow is on the Vistula, and was once the capital of Poland; Kosciusko drove the Russians out of this city in 1794, but being called to the relief of Warsaw, 128 miles distant, it capitulated to the Prussians on the 15th June of that year—it is 240 miles S. W. of Vienna, and contiguous to Silesia and to Hungary.
The evidence of the French bulletins is in itself conclusive—the papers and proclamations of the allied powers confute their blind and unhappy partisans, with tales of victory, which are too woefully belied by the actual flight of the Austrians and Russians, both in Italy and Germany, and the vigorous and successful pursuits by the French—who though they are represented not only as defeated on all sides, appear to give the law and to seize upon the fortresses, territories and wealth of those whom it is said are their conquerors.
Human folly was never more conspicuous than in the commencement, conduct and delusive hopes entertained by the combined powers in this war—their infatuated adherents in all countries appear to be governed by the same evil demon.
Bonaparte is now on the borders of Poland, and he has but to establish that nation, to place his immortality as a soldier, a statesman, and a conqueror, on a basis, that the envy of mankind cannot shake, and that will cast whatever of vice, or ambition, which has been attached to his character in a dim shade.
It is very probable that Prussia has after all entered the field: the infatuated letter of the 14th of October, renders all prospect of confidence between that king and that emperor, hopeless.
The organization of another vast army of 200,000 men in France, the first division of which must have crossed the Rhine early in January, and the second and third, before the first of February, must have enabled the French conqueror to fix the destiny of every prince and nation on the European continent from the Gulf of Finland to the mouth of the Bog—from Otranto to the Pillars of Hercules, and from Cape St. Vincent to the Cattegat—Every harbour, river, port and roadstead in that vast range are destined to obey his fiat, without being embraced in the actual circle of his empire.
Such has been the effect of regal infatuation—in the effort to destroy the liberties of a nation, and through that nation to protract the emancipation of mankind from abject dependence on the miserable reptiles called kings and emperors and princes, and nobles—they have created a scourge for themselves—they formed a weapon of their own shape, and with an edge that swoops upon them as the eagle upon its dismayed prey. Aurora.
FIRES!
On Tuesday afternoon, a destructive fire broke out in the Rope-Walk owned by Mr. J. How, at the bottom of the Common, in Boston: which in a short time was consumed, together with five other Walks adjacent, one owned by the Estate of John Codman, esq.; one by Mr. Samuel Emmons; one by capt. Pennel B. Rogers, and two by Mr. Isaac P. Davis—together with a large quantity of cordage, hemp, tar, &c. The contents of the Walks were partly saved, as well as part of the hemp in Mr. Rogers' fire proof store.
On Monday evening last week the new School House at the north part of Wilcasset, was destroyed by fire; together with most of the scholars books.
The store of Bradhurst and Field, Druggists New-York was destroyed by fire last week, occasioned by the breaking of a bottle of aqua-fortis. Loss 30,000 dollars.
An arrival at New-York, from Wilmington, N. C. brings the unpleasant intelligence, that on the 11th inst. a fire broke out in a bakery in the centre of that town; and destroyed a whole block of buildings, amounting to about 30.
The ship Hanton, Rollins, of this port, has arrived at New-York from the Havanna.

CAPITAL TRIAL.
On Thursday, before the Supreme Judicial Court of this State, came on the trial of Peter Severance of Chester, on an indictment for murder - for killing a Mr. Whitcher of Boscaawen, at Exeter - the house in Chester, on the evening of the 12th of December last. The Hon. Court in order that as many spectators as possible might not only be gratified in hearing the trial, but be duly impressed with its awful solemnity, ordered it to be held in the Rev. Dr. Buckminster's meeting-house. A convenient stage was erected for the accommodation of the Court, the Bar and Jurors. A very numerous and respectable audience attended, amongst whom was observed His Excellency the Governor and the Hon. Council, the other officers of State, several of the Clergy, &c. - The first gallery was chiefly filled with Ladies.
George Sullivan, Esq. attorney general was Council for the State; Messrs. Livermore, Mason, French and Kent, were council for the prisoner - worded of the Jury, "not guilty of murder, but of Manslaughter." - The trial was conducted with great ability by all concerned, - the arguments of the Council for the State and those for the prisoner, were very eloquent and ingenious, and the Charge of the Chief Justice was learned, lucid, elegant and impressive. While the greatest praise is due to Mr. PRABODD, the Sheriff of the county, for his cautious arrangements for the prevention of tumult and disturbance during the trial, yet it is a circumstance highly honorable to the audience and highly gratifying to the friend of humanity, that the order, regularity, decorum, attention and sensibility manifested on this occasion, during the two days which the trial lasted, show that these arrangements though made with great propriety, were unnecessary.
We learn that a United States Court martial is to be held at Fort Constitution, on Monday next, for the trial of a Lieutenant, for certain charges exhibited against him by his Captain.

ORDERED that the petitioners be heard on their petition before the General Court, on the first Tuesday of their next session; and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of court thereon, be published in the New Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively, the last publication of which to be at least six weeks prior to said day of hearing and also cause that the like substance and order be posted up in some public place in each of the several towns through which the road is contemplated to pass; that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause if any they have, why the prayer thereof may not be granted.

THE SHORTEST DAY.  SERIOUS and solemn be the song, Which hails this still returning day; Let measure guide the rhyme along, And gratitude inspire the lay!  When Spring in all her blooming charms, And summer in her richest dress; When Autumn fills her lab'rer's arms, Nor coolly yields her waste increase:  Oh then! let mortals grateful deem Of all the blessings God has lent; And in deep Winter's dread extreme, Rejoice in plenty and content.  And while they joy in bounty given, Still to the poor their hands extend; The first great delegate of heaven Is he—the wretch's firmest friend.  Now long, and dark, and drear the night, And short the blessings of the day; But soon the sun's resplendent light Shall hail us with a brighter ray.  And soon shall Winter's blast be o'er, And soon returning Spring arrive; And then, O then! the happy poor Shall thank you they are still alive.  Grateful to heaven their vows will rise, For blessings you may now bestow; And lab'ring breast, and screaming eyes, Their sense of obligation show.  And who, that feels the genial sun, And owns the God that prints his ray, Would leave the grateful task undone, So suited to the Shortest Day!

THE FORTUNATE BROTHERS. About thirty years ago, two brothers went to Jamaica; they were by trade black-smiths. Finding soon after their arrival, they could do nothing without a little money to begin with, but that with 60 or 70 pounds, they might be able, with industry, to get on a little, they hit upon this novel and ingenious expedient: One of them stripped the other naked, and shaved him close, and blacked him from head to foot. This being done, he took him to one of the negro dealers, who, after viewing and approving his stout athletic appearance, advanced eighty pounds currency upon the bill of sale, and prided himself on the purchase, supposing him to be one of the finest negroes on the island. The same evening this new manufactured negro made his escape to his brother, washed himself clean, and resumed his former appearance. Rewards were in vain offered in handbills—pursuit was eluded—and discovery, by care and precaution, rendered impracticable. The brothers, with the money, commenced business; and actually returned to England, not many years since, with a fortune of several thousand pounds. Previous, however, to their departure from the island, they waited upon the gentleman from whom they had received the money, and recalled the circumstance of the negro to his recollection, paid him both principal and interest, with the greatest thanks.
Lord Nelson's Coffin. —The coffin (says a London paper) in which Lord Nelson's body is to be deposited, now lies at Mr. Peddlison's, in Brewer street. It is made entirely of planks of fir, not more than half an inch thick, which were cut out of the mast of the French admiral's ship Porient , that blew up in the glorious battle of Aboukir. The lid is the only part at present uncovered, and the workmen were obliged to piece it at the sides and end. The outside is covered with fine black cloth, and the inside lined with white silk, stuffed with cotton, and trimmed round the top with a quilting of matted silk. The coffin is six feet long, but narrow. When the body is deposited in this, it is to be placed in a leaden coffin, lined with thick planks of oak, which also lies ready at the same house. The outside coffin is not yet finished, it is to be covered with black velvet, and richly mounted.
From the Freeman's Friend.  On the fatal effects of the rays of the Sun reflecting upon weak Eyes.  THE wife of Mr. Thomas Hill, about 30 years of age, was confined to her room (having been in child-bed 20 days) on the 27th of January last past, in the forenoon, walked to a window opposite the sun, when it shone very bright and warm upon her, and reflected also at right angles from a bank of pure snow, directly upon her eyes, for near half a minute, when the instantly became blind—she was laid upon the bed, and the light of her left eye returned. A violent pain and spasms about the right eye ensued, extending over that side of the head, down the neck and thro' the shoulder of the same side. The next morning it was discovered that that eye was dead, and both the lids of it void of motion. The eye began to swell, with inflammation about the orbit of it, and continued swelling until the fourth
day, when the pain and inflammation abated upon a discharge from the eye—a nervous fever was fixed upon her, and mortification threatened. The fever continued violent until the twelfth day, when mortification of the eye, ear, and side of the head closed the scene.
As this uncommon case is connected with the Puerperal class , a particular statement of it will be communicated to the Medical Society.  AARON PORTER.  Biddeford, Feb. 18, 1806.

An early day will be appointed for drawing in Boston. The Managers flatter themselves that the punctuality observed in the former Classes, will insure a ready sale for Tickets in this Class.
Tickets will rise to five dollars and fifty cents, twenty days previous to drawing, and to six dollars on the fourth day of drawing. Nearly half the Tickets are already engaged. The vendors of Tickets in the remote towns are requested to give as early notice as possible of the number they intend to keep, or have disposed of, that an early day may be fixed for drawing.
Tickets ready for sale at the usual places. Printers who advertised the former Schemes, are desired to insert this in their respective papers.  Thomas Thompson, } Managers.  Elijah Hall, } February 11, 1806.
