AN ACT, in addition to, and amendment of, an act, entitled, "An act prescribing the duty and directing the mode of choosing Registers of Deeds, and county Treasurers."
BE it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives, in General Court convened, That whenever the office of Register of Deeds, or County Treasurer, in any county in this State, may become vacant, and no provision having been made previously for filling such vacancies; in such cases, the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, within and for such county, may, and are hereby authorized and required to meet at any time and place that shall be appointed by the first Justice of said Court, for the purpose of choosing and appointing a register of Deeds, or County Treasurer, to fill such vacancy; and the person so chosen and appointed, after giving bonds and being sworn, as is by law directed, shall hold said office until another be chosen in his stead, and qualified agreeably to law.
And whereas the office of Register of Deeds, within and for the county of Cheshire, is now vacant, and no provision has been made for supplying said vacancy: Therefore

And be it further enacted, That the corporation may erect and fix one gate upon or across said road, or upon and across one of said bridges, and to collect from all persons travelling the same with horses, cattle, carts, or carriages, the tolls and duties herein after granted, that is to say, for every sheep or hog, half of one cent; for horses and cattle, one cent each; for every horse and rider, or led horse, seven cents; for every sulkey or chair, with one horse and two wheels, twelve and one half cents; for every chariot, coach, stage waggon, phaeton, or chaise, with two horses and four wheels twenty-five cents; for either of said carriages with four horses, thirty cents; for every other carriage of pleasure, the like sums according to the number of wheels and horses drawing the same; for each cart or carriage of burden drawn by one beast, eight cents; for each waggon, cart or other carriage of burden, drawn by two beasts, twelve and a half cents; if by more than two beasts, seven and a half cents for each additional yoke of oxen or horse; for each sleigh drawn by one horse, seven cents; if drawn by two horses, fourteen cents; if by more than two horses, seven cents for each additional horse; for each sled drawn by one horse, seven cents; for each sled drawn by two horses or a yoke of oxen, ten cents; if by more than two horses or one yoke of oxen, six cents for each additional pair of horses or yoke of oxen.

Provided, That nothing in this act shall extend to entitle said corporation to demand toll of any person who shall be passing with his horse or carriage to or from public worship, or with his horse, team or cattle, to or from a mill, or on the common or ordinary business of family concerns within the same town.
And be it further enacted, That the said Proprietors are hereby empowered to purchase, and hold in fee simple, so much land as will be necessary for said road and bridges; and the share or shares of any of said Proprietors, may be transferred by deed duly executed, acknowledged and recorded, by the clerk of said Proprietors on their records; and the share or shares of any Proprietor may be sold by said corporation, on non-payment of assessment duly made agreeably to the laws that may be agreed upon by said corporation.
And be it further enacted, That no toll shall be taken for said road until said road is made passable for carriages of burden and pleasure in the judgment of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for the county of Cheshire.
And be it further enacted, That whenever said road and bridges shall not be in good repair, in the judgment of the Justices of said Court, the gate shall be taken down, and shall not be erected again until said Court shall determine said road is in good repair.

And be it further enacted, That at the end of every six years after the setting up of a toll gate, an account of the expenditures upon said road, and the profits arising therefrom, shall be laid before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for the time being for said county of Cheshire, under forfeiture of the privileges of this act in future; and if the net profits for the said six years shall exceed twelve per cent. per annum, the said Court may reduce the future toll so far as that it may not exceed twelve per cent. and if the profits shall not amount to six per cent. the said Court may raise the toll so that it shall not be less than six nor more than twelve per cent. per annum.
And be it further enacted, That if in six years said road and bridges shall not be completed according to the provision in this act, every part and clause thereof shall be null and void: Provided, That the State of New-Hampshire the county of Cheshire, any town or towns in the county of Cheshire, or any citizen of this State or the United States, may at any time after said road or bridges are completed, repay said Proprietors the amount of the sums expended by them thereon, with ten per cent. per annum in addition thereto, deducting the toll actually received by the Proprietors; and in that case, the said road and bridges shall to all intents and purposes, be the property of the State of New-Hampshire and no gate shall be erected, or toll taken, on said road or bridges afterwards: Provided also, That whenever the net income of the toll shall amount to the sum which the Proprietors have expended, with twelve per cent. per annum on such sums so expended, from the time of their actual disbursement, the said road and bridges shall become the property of the State of New-Hampshire, and no toll shall be taken thereon afterwards.
And be it further enacted, That if said road and bridges shall not become the property of the State of New-Hampshire in either of the ways aforesaid, this act shall continue and be in force until the last day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred, and no longer.

VALUABLE and
Effectual Cure for the STONE.
THROUGH the channel of your paper I request a publication of the following cure for the stone by dissolution, together with the circumstances of its attestation—The gentleman by whose consent and desire, and upon whose authority the subsequent facts are offered to the public, is a Mr. Richard Major, of Loudon county, in this State, minister of the gospel in the Baptist Society; a man of integrity and much respected. Being in company with him some few days ago, I had the following relation from his own mouth: "That having for a number of years been afflicted with this painful disease, he was at length informed that a certain Physician, his name unknown, labouring under the same complaint, being at Berkeley Springs, a negro man there professed to cure him. This he at first disregarded, but expecting a speedy dissolution unless some aid could be obtained, afterwards sent for the negro, who agreed to cure him for three pounds. He accordingly undertook and in a short time effectually eradicated the disorder. The physician then gave him his choice of freedom by purchase, in lieu of the contract betwixt them, on condition that he would disclose the means of the cure; to which the slave agreed."
"The receipt is the expressed juice of horse mint and red onions; one gill of each to be taken every morning and evening 'till the complaint be removed."
"That the Mr. Major, being urged to a trial of the above mentioned remedy, submitted to it, though with some reluctance, as he conceived his term of life to be but short at most, not having it in his power to procure green mint, as to get the juice, he used instead thereof a strong decoction of the dried herb: In other respects strictly adhering to the above prescription, which had the desired effect. He began the experiment in August, ninety two, and within one week he had ocular demonstration of dissolution by the slightest touch of a particle that had passed from him, which continued so to do without pain or the least obstruction until the stone was entirely dissolved, and the cure completely effected before the ensuing spring. That from the time the disorder began to yield as aforesaid, he daily recovered health, strength and flesh, and was in as good plight as ever, age excepted, being at the time first abovementioned seventy two years of age, with the appearance to me corresponding with his own account, and as he farther said, without the slightest attack of the disorder from the time he began to use the above means of cure." This, as his request, is communicated with great pleasure to the public by DANIEL ROBERDEAU.
MISCELLANY.
For the New-Hampshire Gazette.
Extract from the FAITHFUL REMEMBRANCER—(an Original work, preparing for the press)—No. 4.
SO sublime and elevating are the descriptions presented to us in the scriptures of the future glory and happiness of the saints, that they must be deemed and intenable, indeed, who are not gratefully affected by them; or the grand, and at the same time endearing views in which, in the sacred volumes, the Deity is set before us, to excite our admiration, confidence and joy: and in which, though there be some things not so clearly comprehended, there are abundantly sufficient to engage our affections and our respect, to animate our hopes; enflame our love, and render us happy in each other. In those volumes the Sovereign Lord of nature is repeatedly declared to be the Saviour from death and every evil. To dispise and reject them is therefore to dispise and reject our own mercies, and to count ourselves unworthy of eternal life. If we have been sometimes so weak and unwise as to disregard them because they contained matters we comprehended not; let us now apply to them more seriously and earnestly, and we shall find our application will be amply rewarded; relying at the same time, on the guidance of Heaven, without which, [and may it be constantly realised,] we are incapable of a single just thought, rational conclusion or sublime desire.
Do ye enquire then, wherefore man was left to err, and render himself miserable? the answer is [and it is scriptural,] It was not through want of power in the Deity, to preserve him wise and happy, or immediately to restore him from his first lapse: for with Deity all things are equally possible. Neither was it for want of inclination in the Deity: For, as the universal parent is infinitely good and benevolent, kind, tender and compassionate, He must ever will our consummate happiness. The cause then, of the permission of our errors, and the consequent evils, appears to be, that infinite wisdom saw it meet for the permanent establishment of the purest virtue and happiness;—that from experience of the evils arising from vice and error, we should become determined forever to pursue a course of rectitude, and with increasing ardor and delight; constantly relying on the almighty arm of eternal love. Agreeably hereto, the Deity is introduced in the sacred volumes, declaring that He will convince us, that all he does to us is not without cause; and that He proves us to do us good in the final result. His discipline and corrections, then, are to be considered as blessings, and endured with thankfulness and joy. Such are the instructions which the sacred volumes afford. But men have presumed to justify their vices by saying, that since, through the force of bad habits, and want of superior strength, they are incapable of virtuous reform, they must even pursue their evil courses; or there is no hope, therefore we will walk every one in our own ways. The Divine reply to so rash and absurd a conclusion against all the light and encouragement given in the scriptures in the most desperate cases, is that they will be utterly consumed; and who can boldly, pursue his evil courses with so dreadful a prospect before him of the event! would he not rather, sensible of his impotency and wretchedness, make application to Him who is ever near unto all, and rich unto all that call upon Him? And sure no one, judging wisely, would, urged by the solicitations of vice, resolve to pursue vicious courses with the view of being rendered the happier after suffering for them, because the Deity brings good out of evil, and effects thereby a greater happiness. He is conscious that his ready course of virtue will yield him all the happiness he hopes and desires, all that infinite power and goodness can bestow: and he dreads the awful consequences of disobedience to the laws of rectitude; They are indeed beyond conception terrible: There can be no greater evidence of human depravity than men's living careless, secure and inapprehensive in a state of mind destitute of confidence

in the Author of their being, without the continual effects of whose power they must be incapable of the least degree of happiness, and without a reviving ray of hope. Whence arise those consolations which support the desponding? Whence those revivings that instantly relieve the sinking mind, and rescue it from distraction or despair? How little is realised of the Deity's kind attentions to his children, and how greatly we are continually indebted to Him for the comfort and support of our minds! The virtuous and discerning have found evidences perpetually arising to assure them, that every evil, and death itself, were designed for their greater good, or they would not have been found in their way to immortality. In the sacred volumes these truths are clearly ascertained.
Mankind, hurried by their passions, are uninfluenced by that fear which is implanted to be a guard against all evils and dangers; and they live without the exercises of prayer and thanksgiving, the proper employments of beings who exist wholly on Divine bounty; and, having brought upon themselves such a sad variety of evils, they say, either there is no God, or that He has no attention for his creatures. Forlorn, unhappy state! To what vile absurdities, as well as miseries and disgraces has the want of a just confidence in the Father of our spirits reduced us! God is represented in the scriptures, as calling to the Heavens to be astonished and horribly afraid at such degeneracy and depravity—And, if the scriptures are to be credited, the Heavens heard the plaintive voice. The Sun was darkened, and nature shrouded in blackness and awful terrific gloom! Man's degeneracy levelled a malicious stroke at nature, which the immediately resented, and will not cease to resent, till she has accomplished a complete retribution.
We have been often reminded that our first attainments should be, a just knowledge of ourselves—of the Author of our being—of his design in allotting to us our present condition—of the duties [and the grounds of them] which we owe to God, and to each other—and a disposition to fulfil them; that, by these attainments, our lives might be rendered tranquil, serene and happy; and they are to be obtained by a sincere application to the giver of every good and perfect gift. To know the just God, the Saviour includes them all; and surely all men who think soberly, must agree in this truth.—That such a knowledge is indispensably essential to rational, immortal beings. We must conclude then, that those who neglect to attain it, are guilty of the most shameful folly; and however wise and discerning they may prove in other matters, they must be considered as foolish—yea, as fatally disordered, as really mad; and, like the wildly deranged, rushing precipitately down a precipice to dreadful ruin. These truths the scriptures faithfully declare—and shall those, who perceive this disordered state, be silent? shall the voice of warning, of persuasive eloquence be unheard, awakening men to a sense of their malady and danger? and what if those pens which have been so constantly employed with such great efficacy on other subjects, should be more frequently exercised in enforcing the importance, the necessity of that knowledge and virtue, which are the foundations of permanent security, and without which no people can be happy;—that true knowledge, genuine piety and philanthropy—in a word, that Righteousness which exalteth a Nation ?—Shall orators successfully flatter us with panegyrics on the excellencies we have attained, when there is still so great reason to admonish us of our deficiencies—deficiencies which most certainly must be remedied, before we can be really safe and happy? If love to God and one another, and the genuine fruits of love, are wanting, we are deficient, we are poor indeed!—May every tongue and pen of eloquence become eminently influential in promoting real goodness—in exciting all ranks from the highest to the lowest, to unite in fervent application to the Great Disposer of the destinies of nations, for his sacred influences. By this only shall we truly live, and by this shall we accelerate the desired period, when the whole world shall become one in purest felicity and love. Is not this what we with most ardently? Let the means then be used through which it is to be obtained; that we may thereby prevent the evils we have too great cause to fear will precede it, as terrible scourgings to enforce upon us our duty, and the happiness that results from it: or else to destroy the present generation of ingrates, as unworthy of sharing in the blessedness of the approaching Day: for it hastens on—it is near, whether we be prepared for it, or not: That it is so, will soon become more evident. The voice of nature, and that of revelation jointly concur in assuring those who yield them a proper attention, that God is to be found of those that seek Him: and we shall, sooner or later, bitterly re-
proach and condemn ourselves, if we despise and neglect a duty so essential to beings in our situation. It is true, the spirit of prayer is not of ourselves; but is a Divine gift, as are all other valuable attainments. But this should by no means discourage any of us dependant as we are. We might as well refrain from eating, for the sustenance of life, because the power to eat, is of God; and by refraining starve, as refrain from prayer under the pretext of inability. But if we see utter ruin before us, with unclouded eyes, we shall in good earnest call upon the Great Deliverer, ever present, and ever ready to relieve. Happy will it be for all, as such to behold Him!
O that they were wise! is the pathetic and moving language of the Parent, the Friend and Lover of mankind;—Who fore saw the endless series of woes they would bring upon themselves by their inconsiderateness.—O that they were wise!—that they understood this—that they would consider their latter end! Ah! this would have been indeed the wisdom of that forsaken nation; which, abhorring her heavenly friend and protector, was abhorred and forsaken of Him.—Awful dereliction! It is the highest wisdom to consider the result of actions; and to pursue that line of conduct which will terminate in true glory and happiness.
The Faithful Remembrancer, is the spirit of truth and love. Wherever the page is replete with salutary notices, and persuasive arguments in behalf of true piety and virtue, there is the voice of Divine—and may none experience an aggravation of guilt and woe, through a disregard of that friendly voice!—It shall pursue them in their walks of life, their parties of pleasure, to their most secret retirements.
The Faithful and Friendly Remembrancer, in good earnest seeks our real interests, our greatest good—and many may there be, who shall find cause of sincerest thankfulness for the pen that intimated, the publisher who impressed the sheets with the words of conciliatory, healing truth, and the hands that conveyed to them the salutary and seasonable admonitions, by which all their energies were awakened to a vigorous pursuit of the supreme good! and may the multitudes, of every nation, soon find occasion of gratitude and triumphant joy, from the timely councils of more fruitful pens; and the voice of prayer and praise resound through every region of the renovated world!
From the AURORA, of July 30. We yesterday noticed an attempt to cavil at the financial operations of our government in the negotiation for the sale of public stock. The Boston Centinel has taken up the same subject in the same temper of deception, with the same wicked disposition to falsify and mislead the public opinion—the following is the remark of the Centinel on the Newport article:—We believe the above intelligence to be true, and that the shares in the bank have been sold to Europeans, for the purpose of discharging the Dutch loan—We understand that they were sold at 145 3/4, when they have lately been sold, at public vendue, in this town at 153 with the interest off, making them worth 157 1/2. This may be a new way of paying off debts; but it looks a little twisfic'd or so. CENTINEL.
Upon this subject we shall offer a few further remarks, premising that the people have now a further demonstration of the wilful design of deceiving, or of the incurable ignorance of those, who upon the choice of the present administration by the people, predicted the decline of public credit, the fall of the public funds—and the intention of the administration to ruin the public funds.
The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States is accused of having sold the Bank Stock belonging to the Union at a considerable loss. It is stated that the shares being the property of the United States, have been sold at forty-five per cent. advance. That stock was so sold is true. It is to be regretted that the period of the sale has not also been told by those who seem to be so much in the secret.—But how five hundred and eighty dollars can be proved to be less than four hundred, is a matter for federal arithmeticians to shew. The stock of the Bank of the United States, as well as all other public funds, have since the election of the present executive, wonderfully risen in value. Within the last six weeks Bank shares have further risen from about 45 to 52 advance. This is the effect of two causes, the confidence of foreigners as well as Americans, in the intentions and ability of the President and subordinate officers of the government, and to the withdrawing from foreign commerce of a considerable mounted capital, which must be invested in some productive fund at home. The decrease in our exports, owing to the general peace in Europe, naturally decreases the amount of bills of exchange drawn on Europe. The difficulty of remittances for payment of foreign imports is the natural consequence, and the importing merchant resorts to public stock, as an article, which, from its high price in Europe makes him a saving remittance. Hence the sudden rise of all our public funds within the last month. If the sale was made before that rise, 45 per cent. advance was no more nor no less than the fair market price of Bank Shares of the United States.—It is believed that the dividends of all the banks will lessen. It is the natural effect of a decrease in the demand for discount. Suppose the future dividend
of the Bank should not exceed eight per cent per annum, that will not yield more than six per cent on the sum for which the stock is said to have been sold. The United States are paying at the rate of eight per cent for part of their debt.—Where then is the policy of retaining a stock that would yield only six?
It is difficult to attribute such clamors to complete ignorance. It is impossible to consider them as flowing from a source sincerely attached to American prosperity and credit. How can the conduct of those who predicted the ruin of our stock and the ruin of our credit, be reconciled with their clamors at the enhancement of 45 per cent above par? We should be extremely loth to attribute such blindness to its own interest, to any one concerned in the bank of the United States, because it would be converting that institution into a weapon against the government. We say, we cannot think, however hostile some individuals may be to the executive, and to the principles of the government, that it would connive at any member connected with it in furnishing arguments for its own destruction. The bank of the United States ought to shew some disposition to rescue itself from a suspicion which is whispered abroad; but which they can remove, and which we shall very cheerfully be ready to remove if put in our power.
Foreign Articles.
HAGUE, JUNE 8. THE election of Organists to the departmental Government causes great dissatisfaction among the inferior patriots, who think it hard that others of an opposite party should snare away with the fruits of their labours. But the answer is "That all party spirit having now subsided, an Organist is as eligible to fill a post in the Government as any other description of persons, otherwise there was no cause for bringing about a reconciliation." Few, if any, of the late Members of the departmental Government have been re-chosen.
Several citizens, in order to out do the ladies orange ribbons, have dressed themselves in orange coats; and the same too which were worn in 1787.
LONDON, JUNE 8, 1808. It has been determined that Mr. Pitt's statue shall be erected after the interval of one year, during which period the subscription is to be left open, in order that it may swell. It had been previously understood that the former vote of the committee for postponing the erection till after his demise, would be rescinded. Lord Mulgrave, and several other friends of Mr. Pitt from the west end of the town, spoke strongly in favor of the last resolution.
LONDON, JUNE 19. The arrival in London of Gen. Audre-offy, the new French Plenipotentiary, is confidently expected in the course of the present month. M. Otto, who is preparing for his departure, will not, however, set out for Paris for some days after the General's arrival, as he is enabled to communicate much valuable information to his successor, not only with respect to the general state of diplomatic affairs in this country, but also with respect to the characters of the British and Foreign Ministers with whom it will be necessary for him to maintain an intercourse.
M. Otto is to remain a month at Paris before he takes his departure for America. This gentleman has never yet seen the First Consul, in whose esteem he holds a very distinguished rank. Much of the time during which he is to remain at Paris, will, it is supposed, be passed between them in conferences on the relations between France and the United States, and on the best means of facilitating supplies for the West India possessions of the Republic.
Downing-Street, June 18. The King has been pleased to appoint the right honorable Lord Whitworth, K. B. to be his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the French Republic.
The King has also been pleased to appoint James Talbot, Esq. to be his Majesty's Secretary to that Embassy.

WASHINGTON-CITY, Aug. 4. Mr. PICHON has, we are informed, received orders from France to collect the votes of the French citizens residing in the United States on the question of the re-election of the First Consul for life; and registers are opened to that purpose in the French consular offices in the United States.
The republican citizens of Delaware have agreed to support Caesar A. Rodney, as Representative to Congress. We are convinced that a majority of the citizens of this state are republican. It becomes them to rescue their political character from the cloud thrown over it by the violent and disorganizing conduct of their present representative.
NEW-YORK, August 6. In the Official Gazette of St. Domingo of the 14 July, (of which a regular series to that date is received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser) the General in chief orders that from the 19 July, all vessels, French as well as foreign, at the time of clearance from any ports of the colony, shall pay a tonnage duty, of 80 centimes per ton, to be appropriated for repairing the wharves, &c. of said ports which are at present in a ruinous condition: vessels in ballast to pay half that sum.
An arrest, issued previous to the above
orders, that the condition required of a resident merchant, previous to his acting as a consignee to foreign vessels shall be a resident of six months in a permanent habitation after having established a house of commerce in the colony. This disposition applies only to foreigners: French citizens are domiciliated from the moment of their arrival.
For the GAZETTE. National Monuments.
Messrs. PRINTERS. THE subscriptions for NATIONAL MONUMENTS, which have been recently opened in Europe and America, have led me to offer a few relative remarks, &c.—Although most of our readers may have collected from history the opinions of ancient and modern Sages, on the sublime effects of these monuments, it may not be improper to repeat, that they were originally intended, not only to preserve the features of their illustrious sages & heroes, but chiefly to stimulate their admiring youth to emulate the virtuous and glorious actions, by which such enviable exaltations were first obtained.
I will not trouble you with a recital of the miraculous effects of Monuments of antiquity, for they are almost innumerable and prove beyond the reach of controversy that where the tales in every mouth of an EPIMINONDAS, or a LEONIDAS, have been disregarded, a glance only at their striking Monuments, have sometimes instantaneously produced the most desirable effects, by exciting idle and dissipated youth to the paths of virtue and of glory—Whoever will reflect on the causes which have produced in Greece and Rome, such hosts of Heroes and of Patriots, and secured for those Nations the applause of an admiring World, will find no way to account for the splendid excellence in their long catalogue of Worthies, unless they admit the effects of these Monuments, in which alone these nations excelled, to be a prime cause of Grecian and of Roman excellence.
It may be said that this sublime principle has been abused, so has every other good, when nations have become degenerate, which would have been much sooner, if these noble Monuments had not stood as centinels to strike villains with the comparative state into which they would be plunged by their crimes.
Many a wretch intent on murder, has desisted, when the innocent victim has fled to, or even pointed at the Statue of a Good Man, and thus obliged the villain to form the convicting contrast—that disarmed him, in spite of himself.
It is said there are public and private subscriptions open at this time in Europe, for Statues of Bonaparte and of Pitt, these are premature, and therefore may be considered as an abuse of the principle—Many an interested individual will subscribe to the Monument of a living great Man, from the meanest motives,—National Monuments should owe their origin and completion to pure patriotism only; add to this, the character of a living Man, is liable to change.—The late universal British subscription plan for a sublime Naval Column, to commemorate the four splendid victories of the late war, by permitting every Sailor and every Citizen to contribute their mite, was one of the most interesting, judicious projects that was ever achieved by that enterprising nation.
This is only excelled in modern times by the more exalted plan of Washington, who in his Will, first opened a subscription for our National University, by a donation worthy of himself—His motives are fully explained in his will and valedictory: and I am happy to find he is seconded sooner than he seemed to expect, for he there says, he would have the annual interest of his donation invested in stocks, 'till in time it may prove sufficient for his noble purpose—He will no doubt favour with smiles, from his blest abode, the plan which has so soon followed his efforts by a mode which, instead of favouring exclusively the aristocratic pride of the rich, will annex the mite of every friend of every age, sex, and party, to the venerable name, and inestimable plan of Washington.—I am aware of the difficulty that the originators of the subscription plan were under, from the variety of opinions, that by producing votes for Mausoleums, Statues and Monuments in Congress, have retarded the great operation, but I believe a vast majority would join in a request that the NATIONAL UNIVERSITY of WASHINGTON, founded by him, might be HIS MONUMENT, in connexion with the Statue already voted and due to his memory, by the Law of Congress of 1783. If this Statue should be erected in the centre of a spacious area, and surrounded by Colleges, to be built on a regular plan in succession, and called after each State, our Youth from their windows, would contemplate, and many of them strive to emulate the virtues of the beloved Chief, who united all the hearts of his countrymen, while he commanded the entire respect of the Universe.
I have observed, that the subscribers to the WASHINGTON MONUMENT, have petitioned or rec'd, that the Trustees would names of all the Subscribers to be printed Alphabetically a book prefaced by the Valedic Washington and closed by a description of the Monument to his men I would wish to recommend an proofment, viz. that this book might be edited by those who have undertaken his life, to form in a concluding volume, the most numerous and most honorable testimony in favour of public and private virtue that ever appeared, to make this list of names appear like votes only, in favor of exalted merit; let no sums be annexed to either of the names. If no republican friend can be anxious for the superiority in this instance, the names may be closer printed and form a much more neat, eligible, and honorable arrangement in the final plan of the work. A SUBSCRIBER.
Subscriptions are left at the different Bookstores in this town.

I FULLY coincide with LYCURGUS, a correspondent in your last paper, respecting the necessity of coercive measures towards the Bankrupts of the present day.—Many of them, as he observes, claim from the community commiseration, while many of an opposite character, justly merit their execrations. But I beg leave to quote from the American Preceptor, an assertion, the reverse of his opinion, as to the acquirement of wealth, and perhaps not entirely opposite to his quotation from Solomon, "labour not to be rich." It is there said "the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market—it depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality." No man has laboured more to encourage exertion and enterprise more to Solomon. Industry with him was a favorite subject; the indolent and lazy were sure to meet his disapprobation, and most of his writings evince his indignation to those characters. We are commanded to take no thought for the morrow, what we may eat, or what we may drink, &c. But will Lycurgus construe this command, that a parent of an numerous family is to be indifferent as to their future welfare? The only fair construction to this, and the advice of Solomon (labour not to be rich) is, that we are not to be too anxious of what may take place in future, after having faithfully performed our duty to ourselves and others. The benevolent man conceives it his duty to labour for wealth, beyond what he may suppose necessary for himself and family, in order to encourage industry, to employ the labouring poor, and to be enabled to relieve the wants of those in distress. If this hypothesis be true, it follows clearly "the attainment of riches being in the power of but very few," affords a strong argument in favor of laboring to be rich; and the philanthropist will be stimulated to duty by greater exertion. The performance of Lycurgus, under consideration, tends to damp the ardor, and check the laudable ambition of the tradesman; whereas the above quotation has a contrary effect, it excites to industry, and affords encouragement to the young beginner in the accomplishment of his wishes. The road to wealth, as above quoted, depends, says our author, chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; an omission in either will be attended with fatal consequences, but an attention to both will probably occasion a considerable increase of property. Lycurgus must allow, unless he be a fatalist, that industry and frugality, honesty and punctuality, are the most direct means to accumulate wealth. The assertion does not imply, that no man acquires a fortune but he that adheres to those principles, that those who strictly attend to them are sure of success, or that the man of affluence that observes those rules, cannot be reduced to beggary or want; nothing of this is presumed, experience teaches the contrary; there are unavoidable misfortunes it is confessed, that subvert the greatest wisdom, and the best laid plans—but these exceptions to the general rule by no means frustrate the system, or will discourage the pursuits of wealth on the principles now contended for.
The pupils of Lycurgus are less likely, in my mind, to obtain wealth, than the disciples of our author; and tho' some few of the former may fortunately possess fortunes, yet the property of the greater part of them will probably be inconsiderable; tho' disappointment in many instances may be the case with some of the latter, yet we have good reason to believe a great majority of those disciples will acquire wealth and respectability. Fatalism, or the tenets of Lycurgus, have a tendency to injure society, by lulling the citizens to indolence and poverty; but the opposite sentiment has a different effect, the result proves beneficial to the community, by the prosperity and happiness to individuals. It is a favorite doctrine with some, that every penny is directed, that prosperity and adversity are the effect of supernatural agency; that no man is rich or poor, sick or in health, but by the immediate order of the Deity. This doctrine cannot be supported on rational principles; it has long since been exploded—it destroys the accountability of man, and renders him a mere machine. Will any one deny that we have not power to do either of two or more actions at the same time? That we might not have conducted, in time past, with more propriety in many instances, and more to the benefit of ourselves and others, and that our future prosperity and happiness does not depend in a great measure on our own conduct and exertions. If the powers of the human mind are equal to this, then are we free agents, culpable or praiseworthy, according to the motive of our actions, and the doctrine above mentioned erroneous and injurious. I will only add, what is the general opinion, that almost every individual is less wealthy and happy in consequence of his own misconduct and imprudence; and that those are in the fairest way to obtain wealth, honor, and happiness, that adhere most strictly to industry, frugality, honesty and punctuality.

Portsmouth, August 17.
MALIGNANT FEVER.
Since our report of the 10th, we have to observe that Mrs. Seawards, who sickened the 5th died the 11th inst.
Stephen Melcher, Washington Street, sickened the 9th, and is now convalescent.
William Varrell, Washington Street, sickened the 13th, and is now ill.
John Gale, Pitt-street, sickened the 13th and is now ill.
Sally McCarty, daughter of Mrs. Much- imore, Washington-street, sickened the 13th and is now dangerously ill.
We call on our fellow-citizens, who still remain in the infected part of the town, to be vigilant in removing every filthy sub- stance or matter, from their inclosures, yards, cellars &c. and to slack Lime in their cellars vaults, &c. If the whole town do not with one accord, resolve to remove every kind of filth and nastiness therefrom, the utmost exertions of the Health Officers will not prevent the effects of a few hot days, which are much to be feared at this season.

Bill of Mortality.
DIED. On the 9th inst. at Little Harbor, Mr. NATHANIEL TRACY SHEPARD, aged 21 son of Jacob Shepard, Esq. of this town, af- ter a severe illness of only five days.—It may truly be said that in the death of this excellent young man, humanity has lost a friend, & society one of its best ornaments.
In this town, on Thursday last Mr. AB- NER NEWHALL, aged 31:—An hon- est, worthy citizen—in his manners, mild, affable, and condescending—he possessed a heart susceptible of sincere friendship, which endeared him to all his acquaintance—his last distressing and painful illness, he bore with christian fortitude and resignation— and we trust, that—
“Alas! in dust he sleeps awhile, Beneath a dry and barren clod; For long with joy he'll rise and smile To see his SAVIOUR and his GOD.”

Judge THOMPSON, is Dead!
On Saturday last, this valuable Man, was called upon by a person in the former part of the day, to transact a little business, by way of advice, &c. and it drawing near din- ner time, he invited this friend to stop and dine with him, who accepting the invitation, they soon sat down to dinner, after partaking of which, the Judge swooned away in his chair, and was thought to be asleep, but on going to him, he was found lifeless; the family were called, who were in another room, and laid him on a bed, sent for med- ical aid, but all to no purpose, for his soul had taken its flight to the world of spirits.
Thus died the Hon. EBENEZER THOMPSON, Esq. in the 60th year of his age; after having supported many important offices in this State, with credit to him- self, and honor to the State; among other offices, we recollect that in the earlier part of his life, he was Clerk of the Supreme Court; then Secretary of State; after which Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and then Judge of the Supreme Court; which latter office he sustained with great credit, until of late years, his advanced life would not admit of his travelling the Circuits, and he resigned; after this he was again prevailed upon to accept the office of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the county of Strafford, which did not re- quire him to go far from his home; and which he held until his death, besides seve- ral municipal offices in the town.
VIEW OF LONDON.
There are in London about 300 places of worship, 1 cathedral, 1 abbey, 114 church- es, 130 chapels, 207 meetings and chapels for dissenters, 43 chapels for foreigners, and 6 synagogues. About 450 public and pri- vate schools, including inns of court, colle- ges, &c. and societies for morals; 10 socie- ties for learning and arts, 122 asylums for the indigent, 17 asylums for sick and lame, 13 dispensaries and 704 friendly societies. Charity distributed £750,000 per annum. This is a pleasing account, but the following cannot be read without feeling emotions of sorrow and pity. There are about 2500 persons committed for trial in one year—An- nual depredations amount to £1,100,000; 18 persons, 5104 alms-houses within the bill of mortality. Amount of coins counterfeited £4,000,000 per ann. About 3000 receivers of stolen goods. About 10,000 servants at all times out of place, 20,000 persons rite every morning without knowing how they shall subsist through the day.
COLQUHOUN.
Mr. Pott's patent for an artificial leg.
A patent has been granted to Mr. Pott, of Bedford, Northumberland, for an arti- ficial leg, which is made of light materials, and has great resemblance to the bony and fleshy parts of the natural leg. By this the wearer is enabled to avoid those semi-cir- cular motions, which most artificial legs re- quire; all its motions are perfectly at his command; he has the power of turning in- ward and outward, and can imitate almost every motion that can be performed by the natural leg. The wearer of Mr. Pott's ar- tificial leg, can, with the greatest ease, sit, kneel, rise, pull off and on a boot, and even walk several miles without incurring great fatigue.
This ingenious invention was the offspring of necessity—the patentee having unfortu- nately suffered amputation above the knee, was led to contrive the best possible method of supplying the deficiency. Although we presume not to anticipate the merits of fu- ture inventions, yet we shall be fully justi- fied in giving a decided preference to Mr. Pott's invention, compared with all former ones of the same kind. In giving this as our opinion, we have only followed the de- cided testimonies given by almost all the principal surgeons in London and Edin- burgh. [London pap.]
Some of the federal prints have gone into mourning for the judiciary act of the ex- piring administration, which drew its last breath on the first day of July. And well may they mourn. They have lost a friend in need; the only friend left them in the midst of their misfortunes.
How easy the transition from carrying in- to effect unconstitutional laws, which violat- ed the dearest rights of freemen, to refusing to execute unconstitutional laws enacted to protect them. Had the agitated spirit of re- publicanism submitted to the dogma of judi- cial inviolability, we might have indeed hail- ed the early approach of days, in which these men would have stopped the wheels of gov- ernment, and by interdicting the exercise of all power by others, have absorbed the gov- ernment in themselves. Then we should have had a glorious day! Then we should have had eternity of bondage! If however, mourning is considered as an evidence of contrition and felt humiliation for our man- ifold sins, we cannot appreciate the pious act, nor recommend it too strongly to the gen- eral observance of our federal friends.

Strech'd at his feet, in happy state, A favorite dog was laid; By whom a little sportive cat In wanton humour play'd. Clarinda's hand be gently press'd, She stole an am'rous kiss; And, blushing, modestly confess'd The fulness of her bliss. Palemon, with a heart elate, Pray'd to almighty Jove, That it might ever be his fate, Just to live, and love. Be this eternity, he cried, And let no more be given; Continue thus my lov'd fire-side, I ask no other heaven!
An Anatomical Epitaph on an Invalid. Written by Himself.
HERE lies an head, that often ach'd; Here lie two hands that always shak'd; Here lies a brain of odd conceit; Here lies a heart that often beat; Here lie two eyes that daily wept, And in the night but seldom slept; Here lies a tongue that whining talk'd; Here lie two feet that feeble walk'd; Here lies the midriff and the breast, With loads of indigestion prest; Here lies the liver, full of bile, That ne'er secrete proper chyle; Here lie the bowels, human tripe, Torn'd with wind, and twirling gripes; Here lies the livid dab, the spleen, The source of life's sad tragic scene; That left side weight that clogs the blood, And flagrates nature's circling flood; Here lie the nerves, so often twitch'd With painful cramps and poignant stich; Here lies the back, oft rack'd with pains; Goodying kidneys, loins and reins; Here lies the skin, by curfew red, With pimples and eruptions red; Here lies the man from top to toe, That fabrick fram'd for pain and woe.
Moralist.
Messrs. PRINTERS, You are requested to insert the following  OLD MAN'S ADDRESS to YOUTH, (by JONAS HANWAY, Esq.) in the Gazette, and you will oblige your's A CUSTOMER.
Let none on future time rely, For none can be too young to die.
YOU will not be surprised that I should preach; I am descending into the vale of years; y. are going up the hill, to take a view of what I have often seen. Many a long day have I beheld the vanities of the world. Many of the faults of others are obvious to me; and so are some of my own. Things wear a different aspect in your eyes: if I now officiously intrude on your gayer hours, I remind you that it is not always Spring nor summer.
You expect in due time to reach the winter of your days; and what do you imagine will then contribute most to your comfort and brighten your prospect beyond the grave? You may have my sincerest wishes that your hopes may always blossom in the full-blown charms of moral beauty, till in the great progress of human wisdom, your passions being lulled to rest, your enjoyments may become pure as the limpid stream, bright as the meridian sun and calm as a summer sea. Some degree of sorrow is the lot of every mortal; but I trust that your prosperity will never be impaired by the want of virtue, nor your adversity be devoid of solid consolation.
Ere long you must deliver up your material part to be the sport of elements; but as Nature in her yearly course, restores the beauty of the year's flowers, though appearing irrecoverably lost, your frame being dissolved will again unite with your angelic spirit and both together I hope, be made perfectly happy in the realms of everlasting bliss and glory.
Tho' age must die, youth also may, O then prepare without delay, For death and for the judgment day.
Medley.
AN apprentice to a printer being left to make up the form of a newspaper, placed the account of Deaths at the very bottom of the last page, when being asked by his master the reason for such a singular alteration, he replied, that he had been directed to arrange every thing in order, and he thought, Death must be the end of all."
An old peasant was carried before a magistrate, on a charge of having stolen a sheep, the property of Sir Garret Fitz Maurice. The justice asked him if he could read; to which he answered "a little"—"You could not be ignorant then, said Mr. Quorum, that the sheep belonged to Sir Garret, as his brand (G. F. M.) was on it." "True, replied the prisoner, but I really thought the letters stood for Good Fat Mutton."
NELL's husband complained, that his wife brought him nothing:—You lye like a Rogue says she, for I bring you Boys without your help.
KILL NOT ONE FLY. FLIES are amongst our best friends at this season of the year. A living fly purifies the atmosphere by destroying putrefaction; but a dead one generates pestilential air. Let us instead of poison, let some nourishing food for them; and instead of darkening our rooms to drive them out, open our windows and invite them in. Give them plenty to eat on the side board, and they will not infest us at table. Furnish them with plenty of paper net work to lodge in, and they will not spoil our furniture. HEALTH.
