Persons having claims to land, may deliver the notices and evidences of the same, at their option, either to the register of the proper land office, or to his deputy, for the county in which such land lies: and each of the said deputies, shall be entitled to receive the recording fees allowed to the register, by the act to which this act is a supplement, and in addition thereto, (or a compensation of five hundred dollars in full for all his services) at the rate of one dollar for every claim filed with him, to be paid out of the monies appropriated for carrying into effect the act to which this act is a supplement.

INTERESTING NARRATIVE.
[We have been favored with the following interesting narrative, communicated by a respectable house at Archangel, to their Correspondent in London.]
[N. Y. Spectator.]
Archangel, June 8, 1806.
Information was received here some time ago, that a ship, which, from the description, we supposed to be the Argo, Capt. Kidson, had been seen by some Laplanders, on the rocks, in the White Sea, covered with ice, and that attracted by a light so unusual at that season, they approached the vessel, and with difficulty got into the cabin, but found no foul on board. The cargo consisted of wheat in bags. These natives on their arrival at Kola, made a report of what they had seen, and proper persons were sent from thence to learn some further particulars. We have now received a letter from a person (written on the spot) giving a detailed account of this melancholy affair.
The vessel, which, from part of a journal found on board, proves to be the Argo, Thomas Kidson, late master, is lying on shore near a place called the Three Island, the keel and sternpost are gone, and the wheat is going out through the bottom, being entirely spoiled and good for nothing, and the wreck only in a state to be burned for what iron may be saved from it.
Some of the inhabitants from the nearest settlement being employed in getting anchors, ropes and any other stores they could find on shore, observed at a little distance, a pole standing in the snow, which they removed, and the following day a dog came out of the hole, which on seeing strangers, immediately returned; curiosity induced them to clear away the snow, and at the depth of two fathoms and a half, they discovered the dog, and the remains of four human bodies. The animal had eaten most of the flesh of three of them for its subsistence during the winter; one was entire.
It appears that the unfortunate crew having quitted the ship, and got safe on land, were unable to find any habitation, and thus perished from the inclemency of the season.
The ridiculous cry of war measures in the provisions to prevent war, and which promise to end in peace, ought to satisfy all reasonable men that the best measures would be condemned by the opposition to the present administration. It is now confessed that a British minister is to be expected—That things look like peace with England—That the nation will adopt conciliatory measures—That our difficulties will be considered and adjusted. Can measures be absolutely wrong that end in consequences which we may pronounce the best? (Salem Reg)

POLITICAL MISCELLANY.
The Economy of Kings and Republics.
It is the custom of monarchies not only to confer the most exorbitant salaries upon kings and ministers; in other words upon those who may be presumed to have rendered some services to the state; but upon every branch and sprig of the royal family. But it is the principle of republics, as it is stated in the constitution of Virginia; "that no man or set of men, are entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services;" the same principle too requiring that these emoluments and privileges should be confined within the most moderate limits. Not to speak of the civil list of the English king; not to speak of the prince of Wales, his enormous debts discharged from the public treasury, or the enormous annuity granted to his support; not to speak of the other branches of the royal family; a sufficient illustration of our principle is to be found in a late appropriation of the British parliament. It is curious to contrast these strange appropriations with the salary of our republican officers:
In Great Britain, the Duke of Gloucester receives more than 62,000 dollars. The Princess Charlotte of Wales, more than 31,000.
In the United States, our chief magistrate receives only 25,000 dollars.
Thirty one thousand dollars appropriated for supplying the infant daughter of the prince of Wales with corals, gingerbread and rattles; a sum greater by 6000 dollars than the stipulated salary of the chief magistrate of the union. Yet there is no man of impartiality who will not admit, that we are at least as well governed, as the people of G. Britain.
And by what title do these beings claim such an exorbitant portion of the means of life? Do they earn it by the sweat of their brow? No. Do they deserve it by some ingenious discovery? No. Is it the profit of their capital? No. Is it the reward of services rendered to their country? No. For, what services have they rendered, but to extend the rage of luxury, dissipation and vice? By what right then do they batten upon the labor and wealth of the nation? What is the duke of Gloucester to the unfortunate manufacturer, who is taxed to support his extravagance? "What is Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba?" Suppose only, that Congress should appropriate several thousand dollars to the support of Mr. Jefferson's relatives, what indignation would it not excite in every American bosom! Yet such is almost the precise question with respect to these "titularies of the grand dignities" of Great Britain. And yet it is in the oppressed nation where the idle sprig of royalty is thus magnificently supported, that the poor laborer is ground down to the bone by taxes; and every poor man with four children is a pauper.
This is the real spirit of monarchies. Their rulers must be distinguished from other men, not by their talents, not by their virtues, not even by their royal blood, but by the pomp and the dazzle of riches. Deprive them of this magic of ostentation, and the delusion of monarchies would soon be over. We recollect an anecdote in point, that is related of some celebrated wit, perhaps Dr. Beattie—Never was there a more ingenious pun—never was any play of words more distinguished by humor, or by the truth of the application. "Take from MAJESTY its externals, laid the wit (putting his fingers upon the first and last letters of the word) and what is it but a jest?" Richmond Enq.
GRUMBLERS!
If taxes are taken off, federalists grumble.
If taxes are laid on, federalists grumble.
If the administration will not expend forty millions of dollars and sacrifice as many thousand lives to take New-Orleans from Spain, federalists grumble.
If the administration obtains possession of that post, and the adjacent country, for fifteen millions, without bloodshed, federalists grumble.
If armed ships are rotting in the docks for want of employ, federalists grumble.
If the ships are sold, federalists grumble.
If we are deficient in naval force, federalists grumble.
If gun-boats are built federalists grumble.
When the lives of our countrymen were risked in the war with Tripoli, federalists grumbled.
When peace was concluded with Tripoli federalists grumbled.
And grumble they will, at all events, until they get a federalist into the Chair, federalists in all the departments, in all lucrative offices—until the return of cockades, addresses, provisional armies, navies, and all the glory attending the high road to the hole of nobles. (Witness.)
His Excellency the Governor, with advice of Council, has recommended the observance of the 27th November, as a day of Public Thanksgiving, throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
FOREIGN NEWS.
By the New-Galen, Capt. Hinckley, from London, via Boston.—
Appearances on the European Continent.
GERMANY.
HAMBURG, AUG. 19.
Intelligence from Berlin, to the 16th inst. is of a warlike nature. A military Council was held yesterday, at which Gen. Ruchel, who is to command in Hanover, was present. Bonaparte it is said, has required the cession by Prussia, of East-Friesland, Embden, &c. to be incorporated with the kingdom of Holland; which his Prussian Majesty is determined to refuse and resist. The whole Prussian army is said to be in motion; the generals on furlough recalled, and their commands assigned them.
August 22. The great Prussian army will be commanded by General Ruchel, who arrived at Hanover on the 19th, at night, and fixed his head quarters in the palace of His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge.
BREMEN, AUG. 22.
The numerous political reports in circulation here, about the misunderstanding between the Cabinet of Berlin, and Bonaparte, have been for some time so extremely contradictory, that it was impossible to give any certain information on the subject. However, it is now clearly seen that the king of Prussia will neither give up East-Friesland nor Hanover without resistance, notwithstanding the threatening movements of the French armies in Bavaria, and Wirttemberg and even the liberal promises of indemnification in Saxony. That he has assembled a great force on the banks of the Ems to resist any attempts on East-Friesland, is certain, as numerous trains of artillery and ammunition have been for some time passing thro' Quackenbruc.
BAYREUTH, AUG. 9.
Goritz and Gradisca, in Austrian Friuli, have been taken possession of by French troops, in the name of the King of Italy:—[On this article the Morning Chronicle, adds, "The encroachments on the Emperor of Austria go on daily. This last act is evidently done to intimidate this oppressed and unfortunate Monarch, and force him to surrender his high dignity as head of the Empire of Germany." He has made the surrender.]
PRUSSIA.
Magdeburgh, Aug. 16.—For some days past every thing here has worn a very hostile appearance. On Wednesday this place was declared in a state of siege, the military depots have been put upon the war establishment, and two thousand peasants work at the fortifications; by the 20th of this month all will be ready to march.
Our city at this moment swarms with soldiers, the regiments from Bareuth arrived here and at Halle, on Wednesday; all the vessels between this and Saxony have been put in requisition.
The train for the army of Westphalia has been ordered to be ready by Tuesday next; the horses will be delivered to-morrow, and the following days.
Hanover, Aug. 13.—Great movements have been observed among the troops in this country. A demand has moreover been made to the College of Deputation, of 3260 horses, to remount the troops. It is said that there will be three camps formed upon our frontiers.
Berlin, Aug. 12.—Our city has for some days past been the scene of activity, and his Majesty comes frequently from Charlottenburg. There exists in the Cabinet the utmost energy, as well as in all the military departments. Some Generals have been called to this place, and sent as Assistants to several military stations.
Aug. 23. The march of the troops still continues, and it is remarked that the exchange of couriers between Berlin and St. Petersburg, is more active than ever. These couriers are the bearers of letters written by the two Sovereigns with their own hands, who reciprocally give to each other assurances of the warmest friendship.
Brandenburg, Aug. 16.—Almost all the Prussian army is in motion. Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, the Prince Hohenlohe, General Ruchel, and General Blucher will command the principal corps.
Frontiers of Saxony, Aug. 13, 1806.—We learn that camps will be formed in several districts, and that some of the fortresses have been provisioned. The Minister of State, Count Gens, Envoy of his Prussian Majesty, at Ratisbon, has set out for Berlin. The report that the French troops had taken possession of Meinungen, is destitute of foundation.
Banks of the Elbe, August 18, 1806.—The political horizon appears to darken again, and the hopes of peace seem to vanish. The French papers contain various complaints against the Cabinet of Vienna, which appears difficult to conciliate. The North of Germany equally wears an hostile aspect; the Prussian troops have left the Banks of the Elbe, for the purpose of concentrating themselves in the centre of the country. It is said that a camp will be formed between Hanover, Zell and Heldeheim.
Banks of the Main, August 12, 1806.—The march of the French troops in Swabia continues without interruption, and passes daily through Ulm. The transport of artillery does not seem to be discontinued, as had lately been reported, according to a credible statement.
The number of French troops yet in Germany amounts to 153,000 men. All the Austrian Officers which are not attached to the prisoners or to the hospitals of that nation, or which have not an especial permission from the Minister of War, Prince Neuchatel, are obliged to remove themselves from every neighborhood where there are any Austrian prisoners of war.
We are assured that the Corps of Marshall Soult, has received orders to advance to Servia to assist the Porte in reducing the insurgents of that province to obedience.
RUSSIA.
PETERSBURG, August 7.
A courier from the army in Persia has brought favorable news of its operations.
The News, Capt. Lisjansky, the second ship in the expedition round the world, has safely arrived at Cronstadt. This is the first voyage round the world ever made by Russian navigators.
ITALY.
NAPLES, AUG. 5.
Insurrection.
King JOSEPH has set out for Calabria, with Gen. MASSENA. His advanced guard took at Montesano, 100 rebels with arms. They received military judgment on the spot. The rebels are in general, headed by Monks. Of all the losses the rebels have sustained, that near Vicoequano has been the most considerable.—The inhabitants of the town, and the whole district were in arms. A corps of French troops, in three columns, advanced against them, the centre column drove the rebels out of a very strong position. At the same time, the other columns took them in flank, and entered Vicoequano with them, set fire to the place, and killed all they found in arms.
Several conspiracies have been discovered in this city, since the surrender of Gaeta. On the 13th of July, an insurrection was to have broken out at Portici, Resina, and other places in the neighborhood; while some more rebels had fixed upon the wood of St. Archangelo, near Calvino, as their place of meeting.
AUG. 12.
Regnier and Massena have formed a junction.—The King has returned to Naples.
PARIS, AUG. 31.
We learn from L'Orient, that on the 27th, the ship Veteran of 74 guns, Capt Jerome Bonaparte, arrived safe at Gancaneau (Bay of La Force). He separated from Vice Admiral Willaumez, in a gale of wind. The English chased him, but in vain.
LONDON, SEPT. 6.
BRITISH VICTORY.
The Gazette of yesterday contains a long and very interesting official account of a complete Victory obtained in Calabria by the British troops under Gen. Stuart, over the French troops under Gen. Regnier. The former consisted of 4795 soldiers, and marched to the attack; the latter of 7000, placed in an excellent position. The account says, "the prowess of the rival nations seemed fairly put at issue before the world, and the result was glorious to the British arms." A battalion under Col. Kemp, was directly opposed to the French favorite regiment 1st Legere. "The two corps, at the distance of about one hundred yards, fired reciprocally a few rounds, when as if by mutual agreement, the firing was suspended, and in close compact order and awful silence they advanced towards each other, until their bayonets began to cross. At this momentous crisis, the enemy became appalled.—They broke, and endeavored to fly, but it was too late; they were overtaken with the most dreadful slaughter."
The total loss occasioned to the enemy by this conflict cannot be less than four thousand men. The British had 45 killed, & 282 wounded.
LONDON, SEPT. 5.
We have just received the Paris papers down to the 1st inst. The great and important news which they bring, is,
That the Emperor of Russia has refused to ratify the treaty concluded by M. D'Oubril, at Paris. This was formally notified to all the Foreign Ministers resident at his Court, the 16th ult.
HEALTH OF MR. FOX.
Sept. 6. On the 31st August, Mr. Fox was tapped a second time, and 14 quarts water taken from him.—He became languid and feeble, and his spirits were affected.—His removal to his country-house was postponed. On the first Sept. he was again opened, and seven pints of water were discharged. His spirits then recruited. On the 4th his health appeared to be again improving; and the hope of his friends once more revived. On the 5th he was so well as to be able to take the air, and considering the severity of his late sufferings, appeared in extremely good spirits.
AMERICA AND BRITAIN.
On the 1st inst. a meeting was held between Lords Holland and Auckland, and Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney, on the subject of the differences between this country and the United States. They sat about two hours. An amicable treaty is expected to be the result of these conferences.
BY THE MAILS.
WASHINGTON, OCT. 15.
We learn that our differences with Great Britain, were, about the middle of August, the date of the latest advices, in a fair train for adjustment. In consequence of the state of Mr. Fox's health, Lord Auckland and Lord Holland had been appointed to conduct the negotiation with Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney. We may, therefore, expect from the appointment of a special commission a prompt attention to our affairs, and from the character of those who compose it, it is not irrational to indulge the hope of a favorable issue. Lord Auckland, formerly Mr. Eden, is probably well acquainted with the relations between this country and his own, and Lord Holland, in the pamphlet ascribed to him, has too clearly expressed his sentiments to admit of a doubt of his friendly disposition. Our readers will recollect that in that pamphlet the right to impress our seamen is unequivocally abandoned, and that, without deciding on that principle of the neutral rights we claim, it is declared to be the policy of Britain, on the ground of expediency, to admit them.
WESTERN AFFAIRS.
We extract the following from a Natchez print of the 16th Sept.
"Letters from Natchitoches, under date of the 5th of September, state that the Spanish army continued encamped at the Bayan Pierre, and was supposed to be 1200 strong. Gov. Cerdero from St. Antoine, had arrived at Nacogdoches, with a reinforcement of 300 regular troops."
"Gov. Claiborne was still at Natchitoches, and between him and the officer commanding the Spanish troops, several letters had passed. Governor Claiborne has ordered a detachment of militia to be in readiness to march. The troops from Fort Adams had not arrived, but were daily expected."
The strongest assurances have been received from the Spanish governor that no hostilities were meditated against the United States, and that the operations of the Spanish forces would be confined to defending their own territory. As they have retired to Bayan Pierre, a post not delivered to us, and in the retention of which they will not be molested, the prospect of an engagement has gone by.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 13.
American Manufactures.
We have the pleasure to state, that a domestic manufacture of flannel from American wool is commenced, and that the produce of this new branch of manufacture will soon be for sale at the Warehouse for the sale of domestic manufactures, in South Third Street.
Several southern gentlemen have entered into engagements for the clothing of their laborers with American manufactured coarse linens, woolens and stripes.
It is remarkable that the colours of our American printed calicoes, are so much superior to the English as almost to exclude the latter from the market.
The colours of American calicoes are all fixt and will wash, and the patterns are equal to any of foreign manufacture.
A considerable supply of American linens of excellent quality has been lately deposited at the domestic manufacture warehouse—it is the produce of the soil and industry of Pennsylvania from beyond the Allegheny Ridge—and they are cheaper in quality and quantity than any German or other foreign goods imported.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 17.
A project is now actually on foot, and progressing with rapidity, to unite by means of a turnpike, the commerce of the western waters with the Atlantic, this road commences at Newbury, sixty miles above New-York, on the Hudson, and terminates on lake Ontario, near Oswego. This enterprize, as important to the west inland country bordering on the lakes as to the city of N. York, will have the effect to place the latter on a footing with the most commercial cities on the globe.

"There appears now to be some probability that Miranda will succeed. The Admiral on this station is affording him every assistance in his power, and lately sent down to him a line of battle ship and a frigate. Some troops are daily expected, and it is said are intended for the support of Miranda."
BOSTON, OCT. 21.
HURRICANE.
A letter from Roseau, Dominique, says, on the 9th of Sept. we had the most violent hurricane known here for 50 years. At 12 at night, it blew so hard it was impossible to move from the houses. The rain fell in such a quantity as to swell the river so that it ran through almost every street in the town. Almost the whole centre of the town was carried away. Persons, houses, flocks, and every thing which stood in the street between Mr. Dodd's and Mr. Catlet's, were swept into the sea. The cries of the persons who were perishing were affecting in the highest degree, but from the darkness and horror of the night no assistance could be afforded. All the houses at the river side with many of the inhabitants were floated away. All the shipping, except one vessel, were lost, and several seamen perished. The buildings at Morne Bruce, except one, were blown down: The officers and men at the fort lay all night on the ground for fear of being blown from the hill. 170 persons perished.
Another very severe storm was experienced at Nassau, New- Providence, and the vicinity, on the 14th ult. Many vessels were driven on shore. There were, however, but few Americans among them. At Harbour Island, 124 houses were demolished, exclusive of the barracks and church. The whole crop was destroyed. At Eleuthera many persons were drowned.
Miranda.—Capt. Rose, of the sch'r Dispatch, who arrived at New-York on Wednesday last, in 18 days from Trinidad, informs that General Miranda had been again at that island—that he received a reinforcement of British officers, and three ships of war, and then proceeded to the Maine.—Two days before Capt. Rose sailed, dispatches had arrived, announcing, that the expedition had effected a landing on the Maine, and that two battles had been fought, in one of which 400 Spanish soldiers were killed. It is said that the inhabitants of the country were daily flocking to Miranda's standard; and no doubts
were entertained, that the expedition would be successful. It is added that Gen. Miranda's brother had been executed and hung in chains.
WALPOLE, (N. H.) OCT. 17.
The Boroughs gang of counterfeiters at last taken. We are obliged to a gentleman, direct from Montreal, for the following particulars:—
"Montreal, September 20, 1806.—
During the past week were apprehended in the St. Antoine suburbs, in this city, a gang of counterfeiters, consisting of four men and a woman, who were actually detected in striking off bills of five dollars on the New-York Merchants' bank.—Plates for bills on the Farmer's bank, on the Hartford bank, and one other bank, were found in their possession, together with about 10 or 12 quires of paper, particularly adapted for each of the above banks. The public are much indebted to Mr. Lewis Lyman, and Oliver Barker, Esq., one of his Majesty's Justices, for their uncommon exertions in apprehending this gang of villains, of which Burroughs and Remington are the principals.—They are now all confined in the prison in this city, and are to await their trials, which will take place in March next.—The paper, plates, rolling press, and other implements are safe in the hands of the police of this city."—The above information must be highly gratifying to those who have any concern in taking or passing bank-bills of any description. We have seen one of the bills on the Merchants' bank New-York; it was tolerably well engraved. When the officers entered the house, we understand, that the men pretended to have retired to bed; but on examination, their clothes were discovered upon them. The plate, which had the engraving of a different bill on each side, the woman had secreted in her bosom; not thinking, (notice as she must have been,) that it would be the place where the men would be the most likely to look. However, as there were a considerable number of men about, she took the plate cautiously from her bosom, and gave it to one of the bystanders, thinking it was one of her own party. The man immediately handed it to the officer.—To make the detection as extensive and complete as possible, a party of three or four gentlemen, in company with an officer, went to the paper-mill, the only one in Lower Canada 50 miles from Montreal, and carried on by a native of New-England, and the officer told him that the gang of counterfeiters were detected and in Montreal goal; and that on his giving up what paper he had manufactured, (which appeared to be about a dozen quires on hand) and also giving his affidavit (which he did) of all the characters concerned, and all he knew respecting them, acting in the capacity of king's evidence, and giving bonds to appear as a witness, he would be unmolested. This was, we understand, complied with.—Some persons in the United States, not well disposed to the people or government on Canada, have stated, we learn, that the counterfeiting business there was rather connived at than otherwise. This is altogether untrue; and the officers of the government and individuals appeared as anxious to detect the rogues as the Americans themselves who were in the city.
We continually hear of the purchase of Louisiana. But what would have been our fears, without any claims whatever, if it had been suggested that all this country was absolutely in the hands of the French Emperor, and that he was determined to reward his army with large portions of it. Such might not only be tales, but truth. If nothing had been done to prevent such an occurrence, how lost would the government have been pronounced to the true interest and safety of the nation. The same spirit which applauded a former purchase of Florida, by the British nation, and contended for the most extensive claims on North America, would have displayed itself on the occasion. Britain held Canada, and New England bravery was employed to gain it, and its importance was generally confessed from its neighborhood to New England, and the heroism employed upon this principle has had a full share of applause. But if Britain actually gained Canada and Florida to serve the other Colonies, and was applauded every where, must not the highest wisdom recommend the purchase of Louisiana to save our whole nation, and to preserve the progress of our settlements uninterrupted? Whatever future events may explain the importance of this measure, it is not in consent with the first maxims and surest policy of all ages?
Pennsylvania Election.—The Republican candidates for congress, in the Philadelphia district, Messrs. Clay, Porter and Richards, have obtained their election by a majority of nearly eight hundred votes.—The Republican success, generally, has been so great, it is to be celebrated by a public festival.

Late and very interesting Foreign intelligence will be found in this day's Gazette, under our foreign head.
Of the negotiation between France and England, nothing official had transpired, — It was, however, apparent, that consequence of recent circumstances had created general belief, That the negotiation would terminate in a Treaty of Peace.
By late advices from the Mediterranean, we learn that war has been declared between the Bey of Tunis and the Dey of Algiers; occasioned by the refusal of Tunis to pay the stipulated tribute to Algiers, in which the former is said to be countenanced by the Porte. The Bey of Tunis has raised an army of 70,000 men, and the Dey of Algiers one of 60,000; the latter with the avowed purpose of attacking Tunis. His troops manifested some repugnance to marching, until they were tempted by the offer of the plunder of the town. No accounts have been received of the meeting of these armies, from which we may expect a bloody combat. The Tunisian cruisers have already entered the harbours of Algiers; and committed considerable depredations; and Algiers had sent out several cruisers to intercept Melli Melli. Nat. Intel.
A correspondent, late from the interior of New-York, observes, that a project is now actually on foot, and progressing with rapidity, to unite, by means of a Turnpike, the commerce of the western waters with the Atlantic ocean. This road commences at Newburg, sixty miles above New-York, on the Hudson, and terminates on lake Ontario near Oswego. This enterprise as important to the vast inland country bordering on the lakes, as to the city of New-York, will have the effect to place the latter on a footing with the first commercial cities on the globe.
Vermont Election.—We learn from Middlebury, that Gov. Tichenor is re-elected by a majority of 1300 votes—that the republican ticket for Counsellors had a much greater majority than heretofore—and that the majority of republicans in the House is considerably increased. All this was anticipated. Republicans of Vermont, will not be cheerless with such a prospect before them: the governor's majority is about 1000 less than the last year—and one struggle more will probably destroy all fears of any future influence of federalism in our councils. Vermont Gazette.
GAZETTE MARINE LIST.
On Thursday morning, the 16th inst. the sch'r Bessey, Capt. Smalley, failed from Boston for Machias. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon, off Boon Island, she was overset in a squall, and the vessel immediately filled—The captain, crew and male passengers were on deck—Two women passengers were in their berths in the cabin, and were, sometime after the vessel was water-logged, with considerable difficulty, drawn out of a cabin-window. The boat was lost immediately after the sch'r overset. While the crew and passengers remained afloat to different parts of the vessel, and apprehensive every moment of perishing, the sch'r Nahant & James, Capt. N. Merriam, passed close by but would afford them no aid. Providentially the Packet, Capt. Elwell, from Boston for Portland, was in sight, and Capt. E. immediately hastened to the relief of the unfortunate sufferers, and by great exertions saved the lives of all of them, and both he and his passengers treated them with the greatest humanity and kindness till they were landed at Gloucester; where the generous inhabitants provided comfortable clothing for the distressed female passengers, who did not have a change of apparel from the vessel.

FROM THE BAROMETER. A SONG.
WUNE—"The girl I left behind me."
AMERICA! that lovely name, What pleasure doth it yield me, Thy laws of virtue and of fame, How nobly do they shield me; Thy power is great, thy laws are pure— An asylum for the stranger, When he arrives upon our shore, He's freed from foreign danger.
Americans come sing and boast, How we our freedom gained, Repel'd old Britain's warlike host, Our lands we still retained; Through conflicts sore, and bloody too, Severely we did treat them, We valiantly the foe did face, And manfully we beat them.
A crisis then, which seemed to arise, Inviting a collision, Whist anarchy was all our law, But that without confusion; Our constitution then was made, Our conquest was secured, America was then repaid, For all she had endured.
Great Washington the sceptre sway'd, Eight years he rul'd the nation, His wholesome laws were all obey'd, Till Adams took the station; Then mourn'd the country all around, When he his power displayed, We loath'd to bear the cruel sound, But still we all obey'd.
With armies and sedition laws, Our country was infested, Engaging deep in foreign wars, Though never was molested; Our taxes were increasing still, Our constitution shaken, He thought he had us at his will, But found himself mistaken.
Four years John Adams bore the sway, In which he is accused, He strove our country to betray, Our liberties abused; But when those years had roll'd around, His followers stood gazing, To see their fabric tumble down, So long they had been raising.
Our country spoke, and lo! a voice From east to west proclaimed, The time has come to make our choice, And O, how pleasing was the hour, When first it was divulged That Jefferson was put in power, Republicans indulged.
But yet it seems to be our fate, To suffer foul reproaches, There's some in almost every state, Who frequently encroach Upon our liberties and laws, Our fortresses and our tower, And all the reason is, because Great Jefferson's in power.
Give ear ye federals to my call, And kindly be invited, And seek no more your country's fall, With us then be united, And help us guard those liberties, Which we so nobly gained, Transmit them to our children's eyes, And let them be maintained.
Then let us all receive the name, Of Jefferson with pleasure, For 'tis through him we do retain, Our liberties and treasure; By measures which he had design'd, Our country has retrieved, For all which Adams had confin'd, Great Jefferson relieved.
Four years he rul'd with mildest reign, His labours are acquitted, His re-election speaketh plain, In him we are united; Then may he rule with mildest sway, Lord lengthen out his hour, And all his enemies dismay, And keep him still in power.

INTERESTING MISCELLANY.
From the Boston Chronicle.
THE RIGHTS OF JURORS.
AS we have of late heard so much of the INDEPENDENCE of the JUDGES, it is proper we should hear something about the INDEPENDENCE of the JURY. It can never be unseasonable to inform jurors of their duty, because they are the persons on whom the property, liberty and lives of their fellow-citizens depend.
The independence of juries has always been preserved during the government of most virtuous magistrates. Andrew Horn, an eminent lawyer, in his book entitled the Mirror of Justice, written in the reign of king Edward 1st, about 400 years ago, records, that the renowned Saxon king Alfred caused four and forty justices to be hanged in one year, as murderers, for their false judgments; and recites their particular crimes, most of them being in one kind or other, infringements, violations and encroachments of and upon the rights and privileges of juries.
The trial by jury has been so sacredly preserved, that even arbitrary judges are afraid totally to nullify their decisions; but attempts have frequently been made to lessen their authority by a fallacious distinction between the
law and evidence. If they can once weaken this important barrier of the rights of the people, by confining a jury to mere evidence, detached from any knowledge of law, the judges have only to make up judgment upon the fact, which may expose an unfortunate citizen to all the tyrannical punishment which ever disgraced the most arbitrary judiciary acting under the unlimited authority of the common law.
"A jury of twelve men, (says lord Coke,) are by law the only proper judges of the matter in issue before them." When any matter is sworn, or when a deed is read, or offered, whether it shall be believed or not, or whether it be true or false, in point of fact, the jurors are proper judges.
Though the judges commonly examine the witnesses, yet they cannot exclude the jury, who of right may, and when they see cause, ought to ask them any necessary questions; which they may lawfully do without begging any leave.
Though the judges recapitulate the heads of the evidence, yet the jurors are still to consider whether it be done truly, fully and impartially—for one man's memory may sooner fail than twelve's. A judge may likewise state the law to them; that is, deliver his opinion where the case is difficult, or the jury desire it. But since all matter of law arises out of matter of fact, so till the fact is settled there is no room for law.
yers can be punished for a breach of the law; for surely that man is rather unfortunate than criminal who ignorantly transgresses the law.
Not only the express assertion of lawyers, and the practice of courts, prove that juries are authorized to determine the law, so far as relates to the fact, but the words in which verdicts must be given, indicate that they have this power.
As juries have ever been vested with such power by law, so to exclude them from, or disserve them of the same, were utterly to defeat the end of their institution:—For then if a person should be indicted for doing any common innocent act, if it be clothed and disguised in the indictment with the name of treason, or some other high crime, and proved by witnesses to have been done by him—the jury, though satisfied in conscience that the fact is not any offence, yet because they have no power to judge of law, and the fact charged is fully proved, they shall by this doctrine be bound to find him guilty; and being so found, the judge may pronounce the sentence against him, agreeable to his idea of the law attached to the charge in the indictment.

PIKE'S Spelling Book contains 168 pages—is printed with a perfectly new type, and on much better paper than is usual to print school books upon.—The price, which is 10/6 per dozen, and 80 cents single, makes it the lowest school book in the Union.—The Preface, which is here subjoined, will show the plan of the author—and the various recommendations which follow, will show the approbation the book has already met with.
PREFACE.
Though much has been done to render the acquisition of literature easy, yet there evidently appears to be a defect in the present mode of instructing children, which in no small degree, impedes their advancement. They are often made to commence the study of etymology, before they are well grounded in principles of orthography. This being the case, it rarely happens, afterwards, that they have a relish for the study of the latter; and, of course, never acquire a sufficient knowledge of it. But a just orthography and pronunciation, however unimportant they may appear to some, are acquisitions so essential to a scholar, that for the want of them nothing can atone.
To furnish schools, therefore, with a cheap, but at the same time complete, spelling book of the English language, by which the skill of instructors in teaching, and of children in learning, will in some degree, be facilitated, is the object the author has in view in compiling the following work.
In the attempt, many dictionaries have been consulted and every exertion made to render it as accurate as possible.
Tables, grammar, &c. of which other books of this kind now in use, principally consist, are excluded from this as improper, and not belonging to a spelling book.
Formerly, when schools were deficient in books in the various branches necessary to be taught, it was less culpable to crowd a spelling book with such a variety of matter; but at the present, when almost every species of learning has been separately and amply discussed, it would be quite un pardonable.
Has it not been expensive without profit to put a book, containing such a mixture of matter, into the hands of children totally unacquainted with the rudiments of spelling? Have they not destroyed many such books before they could be made to comprehend what one of them contained? This experience has amply demonstrated.
Moreover, to put a book into the hands of children, containing more than they can understand, serves rather to blunt, than to excite, their ambition for improvement. Not having sufficient strength of intellect to dive into the principles, and see the reason of things, they grow discouraged, take a distaste to study, and at length hate it.
The words of Quinlan are worthy of observation.—Great care, says he, must be taken, that the child, who cannot yet love study, should not hate it; and that the disgust he had once taken, might not deter him in more advanced years.
To insure success to instructions, it is evident what they should be rendered as easy and pleasing as possible. For this purpose the words are arranged in the most natural and consistent order, to lead young minds, gradually, from that which is easy to that which is difficult.
To enable children to keep their places in the book, with more ease, while reading in a class, each column is separated into four divisions; and by permitting a child to read one at a time, the task of instructors will be greatly alleviated.
The author has observed, that though the monosyllables have the characteristic types affixed to them, by which their true pronunciation is discovered, it will be needful to endeavor to explain the Key to children, till after they have gone through them; but then it will be absolutely necessary; and, with a little assistance they will readily comprehend it.
He would further remark, that causing children to spell the words, first in the book, making them strictly observe the proper division of the syllables, and then putting the same words to them to be spelled out of the book, is attended with a greater advantage than any other method.
If, in spelling or reading, a child should give a wrong sound to a vowel, it should be immediately referred to the Key, and requested to show the same vowel with its characteristic type. It should then be told to pronounce the word affixed to it; and afterwards to give the same sound to the vowel it had wrongly pronounced. For instance, if it should call also , also , it should be shown the a in ball , and told to pronounce the first syllable in the word also in the same manner. By this method, children in a short time will become perfectly acquainted with the variety of sounds which the vowels afford, and be able to pronounce any words, however difficult, with ease and propriety.
When they have gone through all the tables, and can spell words, of any number of syllables, currently in the book, it will be proper for them to go through again, and pronounce the words without spelling. At the same time the New Testament may be put into their hands; which is a book easy to be read, and contains truths the most important for them to know.
When they can read fluently in the New Testament, there are many books, eminently calculated to teach the art of reading with propriety, which may be put into their hands. The best of these should be selected; but the choice must be left to the judicious instructor.
To conclude, partly in the words of a late eminent writer—"Aware of the prejudices usually conceived by the ignorant, the envious and the illiberal, against every new attempt to render the way of learning either shorter or smoother, the Author wills to submit the plan of his work to the judgment of those alone who are best qualified to decide on the usefulness of the design, or judiciousness of the execution."
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The importance of early impressing the minds of children with the rudiments of orthography, it is presumed none will deny; for the useful art of speaking, reading and writing with readiness and propriety, depends much on the habit of spelling and pronouncing words with accuracy.
To give a death wound, therefore to the painful, incorrect practice of directing children to read lessons, before they are able to spell and accent common words of three syllables, we cordially recommend the COLUMBIAN ORTHOGRAPHER. This work we approve, because it is the first school book ought to be, merely a spelling book.
The tables, distinguishing the different classes of words, are judiciously arranged to facilitate the progress of children in their rudimental studies.
We think, therefore, the Author merits the patronage as well as the gratitude of the public, for his exertions to promote the interest of the rising generation; and we heartily recommend this book to instructors, as better calculated to answer the design of a spelling book, than any that has hitherto been published.
