Foreign Articles.
WE are enabled by the late arrivals to lay before our readers the act of the British Parliament counteracting duties; by which it will be seen how early an amicable adjustment could have been, had not the proposition made in the House of Representatives by General Smith, been frustrated by the prejudiced opposition of the New-England members.
An Act to empower His Majesty to cause certain counteracting Duties, granted by an Act of the Thirty-seventh Year of the Reign of his present Majesty, intitled, An Act for carrying into Execution the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, concluded between His Majesty and the United States of America, to cease or be suspended until the Twenty-fifth Day of March, One thousand eight hundred and three, under certain circumstances.
Whereas by an Act passed in the Thirty-seventh Year of the Reign of His present Majesty, intitled, An Act for carrying into Execution the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation concluded between His Majesty and the United States of America, certain Duties were granted to His Majesty, His Heirs & Successors, on certain Goods imported from the American States in American Vessels, to countervail the Difference of Duty payable, in the United States of America, on the Importation of European & Asiatic Goods when imported into the United States
of America in British or American Vessels: And whereas certain Tonnage Duties were also by the said Act imposed on American Vessels entering the Ports of His Majesty's Dominions in Europe, equal to the Excess of the Duty payable in the Ports of the said United States on British Ships, beyond that payable by American Ships entering the same Ports: And whereas it is expedient that His Majesty should, for a limited Time, be empowered, under certain Circumstances, to cause the same or either of them, to cease, or be suspended, either in the whole or in Part; be it therefore enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty by and with the advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That from and after the passing of this Act, until the Twenty-fifth Day of March, One thousand eight hundred and three, it shall be lawful for His Council, or by any Proclamation made for that Purpose, to cause the said American States and also the said Tonnage Duties granted by the said Act on American Vessels, or any Part or Proportion of the said duties, or either of them, wholly to cease, or to be suspended only from such Time or Times, and for and during such Period or Periods, as his Majesty, His Heirs and Successors, may deem expedient and necessary; any Thing in any Act or Acts to the contrary thereof notwithstanding.
PARIS, MAY 8. Addresses from all parts to government against exclusive privileges demonstrate that the freedom of trade is now the universal wish; with that is not founded upon the mercantile speculation of some individuals, but upon the interests of the majority, which must give to it the character of general will, the basis of all laws of a free state. The government has solemnly recognized these principles, in excepting the coral fishery on the coasts of Africa from the exclusive privilege which localities indispensably required should be granted to a company for the commerce of grain in Barbary.
A new memorial from the council and commerce of Bourdeaux invenges against the exclusive right enjoyed formerly at the ports of L'Orient and Toulon, of receiving vessels, arriving from India, which might unload their cargoes, there deposit them in magazines, and sell them there whilst that privilege was forbidden to all the other ports. It is demonstrated in this memorial in an evident manner, that the suppression of this abusive privilege injures neither the interest of commerce in general, nor those of the proprietors of the rich produce of India, nor even those of the two hitherto privileged ports, to which the same facilities remain as are possessed by all commercial places, of carrying on the India trade, or any other, if they think it more lucrative.
"Commerce" say the authors of the memorial, "cannot be active, if it be checked in its career; it cannot prosper if it be vexed with useless expense: Checks produce discouragement, and that destroys industry. To simplify the necessary forms, to do away all unjust distinctions, to leave to all the citizens an equal liberty to explore the domain of national industry; that is all that commerce desires, and what it expects with confidence from the enlightened justice of the government."
FRANKFORT, (Germany) MAY 1. The mercantile body of Strasburg has an Essay printed in the French language on the navigation of the Rhine, which has been presented to the government. It is written with great spirit, and has for its object the welfare of the six departments on the Rhine. It is entitled 'The Navigation of the Rhine.' In this work it is demonstrated, 1st, that the tolls on the Rhine were originally imposed to make good the expenses for keeping the dikes in repair, and carrying on the navigation. These properly ought not to form a source of national revenues, and should by no means tend to clog commerce and navigation. But this has so frequently been lost sight of, and the tolls on the Rhine so multiplied, that the merchants, particularly those of the Nether Rhine, give the preference to the transportation of their goods by land.
The Rhine connects Switzerland and Italy with the Batavian Republic, and thus with the whole world. But that which ought to be only a way, an easy and facile navigation, is become an obstacle to the communication, by numerous tolls, staple right, and other impediments. From Dornheim to Lobit, in Prussia, opposite to the Batavian fort Schenkelbach, there are 29 tolls along the Rhine, viz. 13 on the left and 16 on the right side, where toll is demanded, sometimes according to the weight, and at others the quantity or quality, of the goods, &c. sometimes even at pleasure. These tolls, in some places, are no more than six English miles from each other.
This oppressive burthen must be removed, to prevent the inhabitants from losing all the benefit of the navigation on this river. The right of navigating should be defined in such a manner, that the Shippers of each city on the Rhine do not navigate the whole river; for ships are not only employed of various sizes from 300 to 5000 tons on the Rhine, but the navigation, on each part of the river, requires peculiar skill, which the Shippers on the other parts do not possess. For instance, let the Cologne Shippers navigate to Amsterdam; those of Mentz to Cologne; those of Strasburg to Mentz and Frankfort, and back again; and by this means a great advantage would accrue. Instead of a staple right, institute a staple place for merchandise, which might have place every six months in the cities of Cologne, Mentz and Strasburg. The principle should be introduced as the toll-offices. To protect and encourage the additional manufactures, and oppose every thing calculated to injure industry; but by no means that of obstructing commerce, of paving its way to ruin.

CHARLESTON, JULY 3. BY the arrival of the Schooner Diana, from the Cape, we learn, that Toussaint, with his wives, children, aids, &c. were all sent to France by General Leclerc; they sailed about twenty days before Captain Mead left it. Ever since the arrest of Toussaint, every thing had been very tranquil at St. Domingo; a great number of planters were returning to their plantations, and the towns in the island were building up very fast. The yellow fever was very prevalent at the Cape amongst the troops and foreigners, and many officers and soldiers fell victims to it.
NEWBURN, (N. C.) July 5. Mr. W. Clement has published a letter stating, that from the testimony of five witnesses, which has been corroborated by one of the condemned, it is proved, that the negroes intended to rise on the 10th June, and massacre the whites. Eleven of the guilty have been hung, seven banished, and twenty whipped for concealing the plot.
ALEXANDRIA, July 15. We understand that there will be exposed, during the late at Mount Vernon, some very superb Paintings by the first artists, and some very elegant prints; many of these were presented to the late General Washington, and executed in the most masterly style. This will afford the lovers of the fine arts a rich field for enjoyment, and such an opportunity will probably not again offer where gentlemen may enrich their collection, with more valuable works.
BALTIMORE, JULY 17. A HANDSOME CARGO. Arrived yesterday in the Revere Cutter, Captain Ham three hundred thousand dollars in silver, from the office of Discount and Deposit at Norfolk, destined to the vaults of the Branch Bank of this city.
WINCHESTER, (Virg.) JULY 7. The painful task devolves upon us to announce the death of General DANIEL MORGAN. After a long and severe illness, he yesterday morning quitted this transitory world for the world of spirits, in the 60th year of his age, there to join his compatriots in arms. Yes, MORGAN is added to the list of departed heroes—with WASHINGTON, GREEN, WARREN, MONTGOMERY and WAYNE, whose names will be revered whilst memory holds a seat in an American breast.
To enumerate his heroic exploits during the contest with Great Britain, which ended in the establishment of the Independence of these United States, would require the pen of a more able panegyrist.—Should the writer of this article make the attempt, the subject would be too copious for a newspaper. History has done justice to his name, and will hand it to posterity as an example of cool, undaunted and determined bravery.—Suffice it to say, that his expedition to Quebec, in which he surmounted, with his brave associates, to the astonishment of his country, every difficulty and danger which human nature can be exposed to, and the battle of the Cowpens, in which he completely routed and captured a superior force, will long be themes on which an American tongue will delight to dwell. No man knew better how to gain the love and esteem of his men; where he led they always followed with alacrity and confidence.
For his victory at the Cowpens, Congress presented him with a medal of gold, and the Legislature of Virginia an elegant sword and a pair of pistols, as testimonials of the exalted opinion they entertained of his great military genius.
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 20. HEALTH OFFICE, July 19. The Board of Health are happy to inform the public, that by the Report of their Committee, it appears that only one person has been taken sick with fever in the vicinity of Vine-street, since the 15th inst. There remain sick in the same neighbourhood, with fever, six persons, two of whom are considered as dangerously ill.
Notwithstanding the present favourable appearances, the Board of Health are of opinion that while a malignant disease exists, the citizens ought to be on their guard to avoid all intercourse with persons afflicted with malignant fevers and to suspend visiting houses where sickness prevails.
By order of the Board. CORNELIUS COMEGYS, President. Auer—BENJ. F. GARRIGUES, Sec'y.
NEW-YORK, JULY 16. From GIBRALTAR.
From Capt. DAWSON, we have received an account of an engagement between two Algerine cruisers and a Portuguese man of war off Malaga, wherein the former were victorious. The force of the Algerines was a frigate of 35 guns (the same which was presented by the American government to the Dey) and a zebec; the number of their crews was about 700 men. The Portuguese was a frigate of 44 guns and 300 men. The Algerine commenced the attack, by immediately attempting to board their enemy, but were unsuccessful at their first onset; the action then became warm and bloody, both parties fighting with great fury until all the Portuguese officers, except one midshipman, were killed and wounded, and the seamen shamefully left their quarters, when the ship struck her colours, after an action of three hours. The Captain (who was a Frenchman) was killed early in the action. The prize was afterwards carried into Algiers.
The United States frigate Chesapeake, Commodore MORRIS, had arrived at Gib-

ralier, after a passage of 30 days from Nor- folk. She had carried away her main-mast. The Essex and Chesapeake were the only frigates at that place, the others were cruiz- ing off Malta.
The Duke of Kent had arrived at Gib- raltar, and taken the command of that for- tress. The Duke of Essex, a son of the King of Great Britain, was also at Gibraltar, on his travels. Lord Keith, with five sail of the line, was lying in the roads.
The English had not yet evacuated Malta nor Minorca.
GIBRALTAR, MAY 21. On the 14th inst. His Excellency Lieu- tenant General the Count De La Haye St. Hilaire, Commandant General of the Span- ish Camp of St. Roach, with several Gen- eral officers, and a numerous suite, paid a visit to His Royal Highness the Governor.
SALEM, JULY 22. Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, 3d June, received in this town, from a re- spectable source.
"We have just received information from Paris, that the East India and China Trade will remain entirely free to every French citizen, and to every port in the Republic, for expeditions outwards as well as returns. It is also made almost certain, that so- ciers will be put under the same restrictions, with respect to our colonial trade as before the revolution. By a law just formed for regulating the trade of Tobacco, its impor- tation is restricted to the ports of Ostend, Dunkirk, Dieppe, Morlaix, Havre, Nantz, Bordeaux, Cetic and Marceilles, and the ad- vantage in the duty in favour of what is brought in French vessels is preferred, which is almost equal to a total prohibition in any others."
BOSTON, JULY 26.
INTERESTING. From letters received from Cape Francis, of the 7th July, we find That foreign manufactures, in French bottoms are prohibited, and in foreign bottoms they pay a duty of 20 per cent. as usual. Provisions 6 per cent. duty. Lumber and cattie free for 3 months; the export duties on coffee is 13 francs 33-100 per 100 lb.
Foreign vessels may discharge at the Mole, Aux Cayes and Jacmel, but they cannot take their homeward bound cargoes at those places.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman travelling in the Western part of New- York, to his friend in Albany, dated Gayuga, 20th June, 1802.
"I am happy to inform you, that the Western Canals are now progres- sing both in product and utility, in good earnest. At the Little-Falls, be- ing permitted to examine the toll books, I was highly gratified to find the tolls of the last four years, from the opening of the Locks about the middle of March to the first day of June, in each year, as follows:
In 1799, 1502 dolls. 98 cents; 1800, 2426 dollars 43 cents; 1801, 3249 dolls. 48 cents; 1802, 4598 dolls. 4 cents. The most sanguine Stockholder could not with a more gratuitous result.
"It is much to be lamented, that the Locks at this place were not ex- ecuted in that permanent and substan- tial manner they are at the German Flats, and at Rome. The canal at the latter place, has been a very ex- pensive business, and of little product, and for this good reason, that loaded boats from the west, could not come within 8 miles of it, owing to the im- possibility of navigating Wood-creek. The Company, however, have wisely determined on, and are now spiritedly removing this great obstruction to our Western Water Intercourse. Nearly 100 men are employed on this im- portant operation, under the direction of Gen. Schuyler in person—who with all the infirmities of advanced age, is astonishingly active and animated in this enterprise."
"Thus, my dear Sir, should our ri- vals in Baltimore and Philadelphia, succeed in diverting from us the in- creasing important Commerce of our Western Counties, we shall stand ac- quitted in having discharged our duty to ourselves and the state, by opening the Channels and facilitating the In- tercourse both by Land and Water. They on the other hand, are equally active, and spirited in improving the Navigation of the Susquehannah; to which it is also in contemplation to open Turnpike Roads from the heads of the Cayuga, and Seneca Lakes. This race of competition between the Commercial Cities of this State on the one side, and Philadelphia and Balti- more on the other, cannot fail in any event of being of infinite importance to our Western Counties, who are the immediate objects of this competition. The vast Mines of Salt in the counties of Cayuga and Onondaga, will also be a source of prodigious wealth to this country, from the facility of transporting it on all the Great Lakes, and thence to the Ohio, all parts of Upper and Lower Canada, and by means of the Susquehannah, into various parts of Pennsylvania, and even to the Mo- hawk River—The demand increases yearly —and the resource is adequate to the supply of the Union, even when our population shall reach One Hundred Million Inhab- itants."
"The French Calender has undergone some alteration. The year is still to begin in Sep- tember, at the autumnal equinox: but the weeks are to contain but seven days, which are to resume their old names, and the 1st day is to be the Sabbath. The decade is a- bolished."
Portsmouth. TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1802.
We are happy in informing the public that it is a time of general health thro' our country; and that no epidemic Complaints of dangerous tendencies exist, except in Phi- ladelphia, and in that city it is confined, as yet, to Vine and Forth Streets, and the last mail brings us the pleasing tidings that it is got under—and in all probability will entire- ly disappear in a few days.
THE SEASON. Accounts from various parts of the coun- try are highly agreeable. Notwithstanding the coldness and backwardness of the Spring vegetation never looked more luxuriant, at this season of the year. The crops of hay have been very heavy; and the past week has been highly favourable to mowing, and getting it in, in fine order. The small grains are promising; and the fears enter- tained of Indian corn, from the coldness of the Spring, have been dispelled. Accounts from the southward mention, that the crops of wheat this season, are heavier than they have been for twelve years past.
Another Correspondent observes, "The Season is fine; the former har- vest is abundant; and there is every appear- ance of the latter's being more so, if possible. The Few recent warm days has given a re- markable start to the Indian Corn; in fine all nature wears one of the most pleasing aspects the eye of mortals ever beheld, since the fall of Adam."
Extract of a letter from a Physician in Phi- ladelphia, to a Physician in Cambridge, dated July 17th, 1802.
"A great ferment exists here at present about the yellow fever. There are beyond a doubt some cases; but the terror excited is a very politic source, for like Sir John Fallaff's men in buckram, it converts a sin- gle case into ten, with aggravated symp- toms."
A letter from a gentleman in Edinburgh (Scotland) to his correspondent in Trenton, states that "the BOX made of the Oak that sheltered the great Sir William Wal- lace, after the battle of Berwick," which was presented by the Earl of Buchan, to the late Gen Washington, with a request that he would pass it, on the event of his decease, to the most deserving character in this coun- try, but which was returned to his Lordship, is now in the hands of an American gentle- man at Edinburgh, for the purpose of be- ing transmitted to Dr. Rush of Philadelphia, agreeably to his Lordship's determination, to be deposited by him in the national insti- tution endowed by General Washington.
A London paper, of the 9th May, says, "The Dey of Tripoli lately purchased a 32- gun frigate at Smyrna, and has manned her with 700 picked men, for the purpose of giving battle to the American frigate Phi- ladelphia, which has for a long time blockaded the port of Tripoli.—The Philadelphia is now in the Chesapeake."

COMMERCIAL.
Extract of a letter from Mr. J. Bessey, Pro- prietor of the American Coffee-House, at Cape Francois, dated July 1, 1802.
"The markets are very high for many articles exported from America, such as fish, beef, pork, and lumber of all kinds. Every thing here is quiet, but the tickens pre- vails amongst the troops and the inhabitants, inasmuch that from 30 to 50 die daily, and sometimes more. Many Americans have fallen victims to the prevailing disorder. Arrivals from France are frequent. On the 30th ult. came in the ship Meicome, — Johnston in 37 days from London. We have had but two or three vessels direct from America for a month past; to what cause this is owing we know not."
"N. B. an arrest of this day declares Lumber free from duty, which must be an encouragement for importation; besides it is now high and much in demand, so that the market cannot be flucked for these 6 or 8 months to come."
Extract of a letter from the Consul of the United States at Malaga, to the Secretary of State, dated April 29, 1802.

MELANCHOLY EVENTS.
Drowned at Northwood, last Tuesday, three men who had been to work on the Turnpike, two by the name of Carr, and the other by the name of Langley. After the fatigue of the day four young men had determined to go into a pond to wash, those two Carr's were of the number, neither could swim, one of them in a playful jump got beyond his depth, he struggled, the other sprang to relieve him and was caught in the embrace of the first; Langley thinking to afford assistance, got to them in their last struggles, they caught him and all three went down together. What is worthy of remark is, that those two Carr's were twin brothers, and on one day married twin sis- ters, they have a child each about five months old, their death was in each others arms, they were taken up and buried in one grave, they were from Vermont, and were indus- trious worthy citizens, Mr. Langley, we hear was of Northwood, a young man.
The above was mentioned in our last, but without any particulars.
On Monday morning, last week, Jacob Stauley, jun. of Windham, about 30 years of age, hung himself with a skein of yarn.
On Wednesday the 23d ult. as Mr. Lewis Schelling of Starks, was falling a hedge, he was unfortunately killed by the stroke of a large limb from the top of a tree that fell on him. He has left a wife and seven children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and tender parent.
A Mr. Austin, musician, on his passage on board a packet from Boston to Portland, jumped overboard and was drowned. It is supposed he was seized with a fit of insanity.
A Mr. Kent of Newburyport, on Mon- day last, rode out to the Bridge on Dear Island, paid his toll, hitched his horse near the draw, pulled off his coat, tied his hands, with his handkerchief, and deliberately jumped over the bridge. He was in the water but a few minutes, but all the means used to restore him were ineffectual. He was a man of considerable property, and has left a respectable family of children to la- ment his awful exit. He has labored under a mental derangement for some time past.

H AIL! simple structure, nature's plan— Here's art and judgment too; Not every science known by man Can ever rival you.  What nice gradations here are made; How true you've drew the lines; How lightly soft the down is spread; How the bitumen shines!  And nature too instructs thy young In peace to share their nest; No froward heart, no lying tongue, Here wounds a parent's breast.  But peace and love and harmony Reign through thy humble cell; Whil't all the demon passions fly Where thy proud masters dwell.  Return, sweet bird, return to joy— Chant forth thy wonted blifs; Curl'd be that hand which could destroy Sweet innocence like this.
Moralist.
TRUE gentleness is founded on a sense of what we owe to him who made us, and to the common nature of which we all share. It arises from reflection on our own failings and wants; and from just views of the condition, and the duty of man. It is a native feeling, heightened and improved by principle. It is the heart which easily relents; which feels for every thing that is human; and is backward and slow to inflict the least wound. It is affable in its address, and mild in its demeanor; ever ready to oblige, and willing to be obliged by others; breathing habitual kindness towards friends, courtesy to strangers, long suffering to enemies. It exercises authority with moderation; administers reproof with tenderness; confers favors with ease and modesty. It is unassuming in opinion, and temperate in zeal. It contends not eagerly about trifles; is slow to contradict, and still slower to blame; but prompt to allay disention, and to restore peace. It delights, above all things, to alleviate distress; and if it cannot dry up the falling tear, to looth at least the grieving heart. Where it has not the power of being useful, it is never burthensome. It seeks to please rather than to shine and dazzle; and conceals, with care, that superiority either of talents, or of rank, which is oppressive to those who are beneath it. In a word, it is that spirit and that tenor of manners, which the gospel of Christ enjoins, when it commands us "to bear one another's burdens; to rejoice with those who rejoice, and to weep with those who weep; to please every one his neighbor for his good; to be kind and tender hearted; to be pitiful and courteous; to support the weak; and to be patient towards all men."
Medley.
A DWARFISH man espoused such a gigantic woman, that he was obliged to climb upon a table if he wanted to kiss her. This woman, when her husband was vexed, or out of humor, would look down as if from a two pair of stairs window, and ask, who it was that kept such a grumbling there below.
A gentleman, who very frequently went to take an airing on horseback, was observed always to come home drunk, although he was never known to be intoxicated with liquor at any other time; whereupon a friend archly observed, that though he had a habit of getting drunk, it was only his riding habit.
Messrs. PRINTERS, AGREABLE to my request, the person to whom this letter was written, has granted me a fair copy of the same, which I hope you will be so good as to give in a place in your next, which will, with all doubt, please many, and oblige your friend and humble servant, A CUSTOMER.
Copy of a letter, written by a Servant maid, to her cousin, on her being censured of theft, by a P— shop-keeper.
COUSIN, "IT has been a custom, for this some time past, in the town of Portsmouth—That vile and detestable practice, of sending goods out to private families, and thereby exposed and probably injured; and if any part of them are missing, the bearer or carrier is supposed to be the person who hath them, and as we the bearers are the poor domestics (like myself) are often, yes, often censured, (I do not doubt but some are truly censured, but it is a bad maxim to condemn all for few) and I now advise you, my cousin, never to ask the favor of any shop-man to carry any goods out, (to look at as is termed) for my part I think it would be highly beneficial to all gentlemen-shop-keepers to put an end to this detestable and unlimited practice—for shops were made to expose goods, not goods to expose the shops; but by this cursed practice being unanimously adopted, it hurts us who are innocent, and it injures the goods, (and as the quantity sent is not always ascertained) their suspicions, censures, &c. is often exercised and to our disadvantage. I earnestly hope and ardently with the shop-keepers would hearken to me (a poor servant girl) in one instance only; I would assuredly lay to this cursed fashion, hal! Yea forever! And by their all unanimously acquiescing to this command, their custom would increase, their suspicion ever and finally cease; and we, the poor burthen bearers of censure, never more experience their trials.—But alas, my dear girl, this fashion is still prevailing and generally increasing (which I hope you'll ever shun) and your town purchasers, if possible, would (as an old saying) have a shop in the garret.—I hope you will excuse my detaining you so long, but I am happy I feel such a spirit against which I have been writing, and shall happier be when I find my plan accomplished—then will Domestics ha! whene'er that time shall come, That we from shopping, spend our time at home.
