POLITICAL.
FROM THE BALTIMORE EVENING POST.
"And when the sons of God were collected together, Satan came and presented himself also."
For several years after the war, the 4th of July was celebrated by all parties professing republicanism in America—nay even those who leaned towards the "mother country" were forced by popular sentiment to give in more or less to the measure.
But as the black cockade, of women fearing memory, came into vogue, the ceremonies of the day were neglected or miserably performed except by the proscribed anti-militarial sect. Those in power believed a notice of the day had a "tendency to excite old animosities," and went no further in its observance than the prejudices of the people of the country compelled them. However ardent the love of England by some, and with of "federalizing with her in others, they knew the American people had not yet forgotten that such a word as liberty had been inscribed in their dictionaries, and that a tyrant presided over the realm of Great Britain—they remembered the affairs of Charleston and Fairfield—Paoli and Egg Harbor, the Jersey prison ship, and a few other little articles, and it would not do, at all once, to drive them from their memories, because the procedure would drive them out of place.
The "rabble" continued to celebrate the day with enthusiasm—they read the declaration of independence—they sung old war songs, and new liberty ones, danced to the tune of Yankee Doodle, and told of queer adventures which took place during the revolution. They eat, drank and made merry, for their hearts were glad.
By and by the "rabble" got the upper hand. They hurled the well-born from their seats of authority, and reduced the chief who then commanded to the rank of an humble citizen, to be heard of men no more!—they destroyed his midnight labors, dismounted the black cockade—wouldn't let the old women be frightened by boys in regiments any longer—made many reformati- ons, and still celebrated the fourth of July.
And it came to pass in the eighteen hundred and sixth year of the Christian era, that certain people in the land of Columbia communed thus among themselves.
Behold how things go on—alas! the end is not yet! The men of seventy-six are strong—their arm is mighty to the pulling down of the strong holds which we and our fathers had builded!
The citadel of aristocracy is laid desolate, and no man offereth incentive or wine upon its alter any more.
The black cockade hath departed from us—the inheritance we laid up is lost for ever.
What shall we do, O men of Balial, to oppose the prevailing opinions of the times?
Then said the Sons of St. George, we will tell you what we will do—we will make a great feast even on the fourth day of the month that is called July, and we will have the music of clarinets and hautboys, and cymbals and violins and flutes—
And we will say unto the men of seventy six—come ye and join in the festivity—and when they come, let him that is cunning devise what we shall do.
And then arose one among them and said, but and will they come?
The sons of St. George answered, they will. They are a people who know not the depth of our ways—we will try to them peace, peace, and they shall come—But in our hearts we have war, for we love not the day which gave to this country a name, and a rank among the nations of the earth.
Then they all said, so be it; and proclamation made that on the fourth day of the month called July, the American independence would be celebrated under the patronage and direction of the sons of St. George of England.
Howbeit the men of seventy six got alarmed at these things, and said one to another, wherefore is this?
The people have always been at enmity with us, have scoffed at our laws, and laughed at our institutions.
And when the strong drink went round, have abused our rules and set at naught the great name that has been given us.
They have profaned our alters and offered strange fire in the temple of independence.—Wherefore should we go with them? Why not, according to the custom of our forefathers, cleave to-gether as one man? Let them be unto us as Gentiles without the faith, seeing their works betray the hidden things of their hearts.
And the men of seventy-six went not with the sons of St. George, a few only excepted, who, from the goodness of their own hearts suspected not the wile that was laid for them—but associated together, and made a great feast, and were happy.

WASHINGTON, JULY 2. The following is a copy of a letter which the Secretary of the Navy has received from Commodore Preble:
SIR,—By Lieutenant Jones of the Navy, I had this day the honor to receive your letter of the 17th ult. accompanying a Gold Medal, struck in pursuance of a resolution of Congress of the 3d March, 1805, emblematical of the attacks on the town, batteries and naval forces of Tripoli, by the squadron under my command. You will be pleased to communicate to the President of the United States, that I accept with gratitude this honorable testimony of the approbation of my country. And I pray you to be assured that I am truly sensible of the very handsome and obliging manner in which it has been presented. I have the honor to be, with the highest respect, Sir, your most obedient servant, EDWARD PREBLE. HON. ROBERT SMITH.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in St. Louis, to his friend in Louisville (Ky.) dated May 27.
"The people of this place are much alarmed at the hostile proceedings of the Indians since the troops left this: the following is a specimen of some of their late conduct. A few days since some Kikapoo Indians came here and drank too much whiskey—one of them went through the town and threatened to kill several women and children, and at length attacked Judge Muggs and struck at him with a tomahawk, which was turned off by his hat. Muggs seized the Indian by the hand and drew his knife half out of the scabbard—At this moment a young man by the name of Hammond drew a pistol and shot the Indian through the back; but he did not appear to mind it much, and was apparently more resolute and ambitious to kill Col. Muggs. Hammond saw this and drew his dirk and stabbed the Indian twice; he ran about two hundred yards and fell dead. This circumstance has caused great disturbance among the Indians.—Mr. Hammond will have to stand his trial; but the general opinion is, that he was very justifiable in killing the Indian. Four or five Indian Prif- oers are in jail for killing white people."
NEW-HAVEN, (Conn.) JULY 3. Capt. Pond, from Gaudaloupe, informs that the crew of the British s of the British sloop Dominico, of 12 guns, (amongst whom were about 20 impressed men, mostly calling themselves Americans) rose on the rest of the crew, the Captain, and some of the officers being a shore at Dominico, and carried her into Basseterre, (Gaud.) where she was immedi- ately fitted for sea, with a French General, and about 80 men, including Henry Proc- tor, of Salem for her crew. Shortly after she fell in with, and was taken by a British man of war brig, and sent into Dominico; together with a privateer (schooner her con- sort). The crews of both, mostly respecta- ble volunteers, were left in Antigua.—The Antigua Gazette of the 18th June, mentions the capture of one of the above mu- teers on board an American vessel, and his confinement for trial.
PROVIDENCE, (R.I.) JULY 5. A letter from a gentleman in Philadel- phia, of a recent date, contains the follow- ing information, viz. Last week the ship William Penn arrived here from Calcutta, in which came passengers Mr. Maybin, and Mr. Fernandez, jun. both members of the Baptist Church at Serampore, the former an English merchant, the latter a native.—After they shall have tarried a few weeks in this city and New-York, they propose sail- ing for England. Mr. Fernandez is a youth, and will spend three years with Dr. Ryland, in Bristol Academy. He sings most de- lightfully in Bengallee, in which language he has also preached; they are both truly pious. A converted Brahmin will follow them shortly; he will probably arrive here next April, on his way to Europe. Just before the above brethren left India, to na- tives were baptized in the Ganges at one time. By Capt. Josiah, Mr. Ralston for- warded 6024 dollars 23 cents for the Mis- sion at Serampore, of which sum 4566 dol- lars 60 cents were a London contribution, and 1457 dollars 63 cents an American sum—since which Mr. Ralston has received and forwarded by the Richmond, Capt. Hacker about 2000 dollars more. May the Lord crown with his abundant blessing an undertaking so benevolent and arduous as that in which our dear brethren in Bengal are engaged."
Extract of a letter from Carraccas to a gen- tleman in Philadelphia.
"I anticipate your impatience, and send you the list of prisoners taken on board Mi- randa's Schooners. It has been furnished to me by a Spaniard, unacquainted with our language, and some names are copied in such an incorrect manner as to oblige me to guess their true meaning. The bubble of that adventurer's expedition is burst, and this province is in such a state of defence, both by nature and by the reunion and organiza- tion of its resources that not less than ten thousand regular troops would be required to make any serious impression. The in- habitants in general have shown much loy- alty and attachment to their government; forty thousand dollars have been subscribed in this country, and offered as a price for Miranda's head; but he has escaped by flight, and some of our countrymen are ac- tually under close confinement, from which they will only be released by death." [The letter concludes with the names of 59 persons taken in the two Schooners which accompanied the Leander, "the greatest number of whom," says the writer, "will most assuredly be executed as pirates"]
CELEBRATIONS.
AT LYNN (MASS.) The birth day of our nation was celebrat- ed by the Republicans of Lynn, with that ardor peculiar to those who feel the spirit of freedom, and know how to appreciate its worth. The morning was welcomed by a discharge of 17 guns. At 11 o'clock, the procession, escorted by Capt. Gallencia's company of foot, dressed in uniform, with a band of music, proceeded from Mr. Ward's Hotel, to the Methodist meeting house; the meeting was opened with a pathetic address to the throne of grace, by Mr. WEBB, and a well adapted animated oration was pro- nounced by Dr. ROBBINS, to a very nu- merous and respectable audience; the pro- cession then marched back to Mr. Ward's and partook of an elegant dinner, after din- ing. 17 patriotic toasts were given with a discharge of cannon—the whole was con- cluded with that good order and decorum becoming the dignity of freemen.
The following are the Toasts that were given:
 1. Our Independence.—With grateful hearts to the supreme governor of the uni- verse, may we commemorate this auspicious event.  2. Washington's March.  3. Our Rev- olutionary Principles.—May they be engraven on our hearts in indelible characters; may we teach them to our children, and may they be transmitted unimpaired to pos- terity.  4. Adams and Liberty.  5. The Fed- eral Constitution.—The sinews of our na- tional strength, they who sow the seeds of discord between the States, are its most deadly enemies.—Yankee Doodle.  6. The Equality of Man.—A truth abundantly con- firmed by scripture, and consonant to right reason.—Gen. Green's March.  7. Equality of Religious Privileges among all denomi- nations of Christians.—May the third article of our State Constitution, speedily be sent back to Rome, from whence it originated.  8. The Elective Franchise.—Our bulwark and palladium against tyranny.  9. Frequent Elections.—The best security from those we delegate with power.  10. The Judiciary.—Periodical election of judges, the best pledge for their good behaviour; may this mode of appointment become constitutional in state and nation.  11. National justice.—May our republic in their conduct towards other nations, adopt that found and right- eous maxim that "that which is morally wrong, can never be made politically right."  12. Republicans of Massachusetts.—We con- gratulate them on their success against politi- cal delusion; may another year behold them completely victorious.  13. THOMAS JEFFERSON.—Whose pre-eminent talents, virtues and amiable qualities and eminent services, to his country, will render his name precious to the sons of Co- lumbia to the latest posterity.  14. JAMES SULLIVAN.—Whose talents integrity and patriotism, render him worthy to fill the first office of our Commonwealth.  15.

The best argument in sup- port of a free government.—Good morals, good order and a prompt obedience to the laws.  17. In memory of all our departed worthies, (with the illustrious WASHING- TON at their head,) who devoted their lives to the good of their country.—Dirge.  18. Honor to those faithful supporters of our Republican principles—Clinton, Madison, Gerry, Langdon, Heath, Lincoln, Austin, &c.; men who have deserved well of their country.   19.

VOLUNTEERS.

AT STRATHAM, (N. H.)
ON Friday the 4th inst. a large number of the Citizens of the town of Stratham as- sembled to celebrate the birth day of American Independence.—After having made choice of SIMON WIGGIN, Esq. presi- dent of the day, and Dea. MOSES CLARK, vice-president; a procession was formed and proceeded from Maj. Chase's Inn, to the meeting-house, where an excellent ORATION was delivered by the Rev. Mr. MILTIMORE; when the procession again returned, and partook of an elegant repast provided for the occasion,—after which the following toasts were drank:
 1. This day we celebrate, being the 30th anniversary of American Independence—May it never be forgotten by us who have seen the happy effects resulting therefrom, nor by our descendants to the latest posterity; who, with may never be poisoned by foreign influence, led astray by artful and designing men at home, who would take the crown from the head of the people where it ought to rest and place it on their own, and make it elective only in their own families.  2. The President of the United States—May he be supported in his laudable endeavors to maintain peace with all nations on honorable terms.  3. The Governor of the State of New-Hampshire, a tried patriot of '75 and still the same—May his administration be such, that our rising generation will have cause to rise up and call him blessed.  4. Congress of the U. States—May they support our liberties with such unvariable firmness, that no subtlety can alter nor force divide.  5. The Militia of the U. States—May they esteem themselves and be esteemed as the principal defence of our country, in preference to a standing army.  6. May tyranny and oppression under the names of religion, virtue and energetic government, never be countenanced, nor suffered to destroy our republican form of government.  7. May those of our honest, industrious, but less in- formed citizens who have been deceived by the boding tale of no Bible, no Religion, no Sabbath, Atheism & Deism, discover the wick- ed design of those who spread such stories; and may those who propagate them, read and pay a greater regard to the injunctions of the Sacred Volume than it appears they do by their life and conversation, and particu- larly note the command, "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."  8. Our Envoy to the Court of London—May
 his mission be successful; otherwise may America be unanimous in asserting her hon- or and avenging the unprovoked insults to- wards her citizens.  9. George the 3d, of Great Britain, the Royal Huckleer—May he be taught, that unless he uses his cus- tomers better, they will not traffic with him, and his workmen will be obliged to suck their claws for subsistence, like the bears in winter.  10. The means of Education—May this sentiment prevail, that knowledge and virtue are the bane on which a Republi- can form of government rests.  11. The Clergy—May they consider their mission from heaven, and preach more religion and less politics.  12. The minority in Con- gress—May they be convinced and convert- ed and brought to the knowledge of this truth, that Americans can be governed with- out a King and Nobility.  13. General War- ren and all other officers and soldiers who lost their lives in the defence of our country.  14. Agriculture, Commerce and Manufact- ures—May they flourish under the patron- age of Congress.  15. Firmness to the friends, reformation to the opposers, and confusion to the enemies of our government.  16. May the Genius of Republicanism ex- terminate from our country the demon of monarchy and aristocracy.  17. The fair daughters of Columbia—May their smiles and favors always reward their own and their country's protectors.

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1806.
FOREIGN.—The American inter- course bill, after much opposition, was read and passed in the house of lords of Great Britain, on the 13th of May. The intelligence of passing the non-im- portation act between this country and England, was received in London on the same day, and excited much sen- sation among the commercial part of the community. It was hoped the good sense and policy of both nations would prevent any violent measures.—Capt. Whitby is suspended in the com- mand of the Leander, but not in con- sequence of his recent conduct off New-York. The Leander being in- tended for Ad. Berkley's flag ship, he elects his own captain.
Mr. Jackson, the English Ambassa- dor to the court of Berlin, arrived in London on the 13th of May, without being able to induce the king of Prus- sia to relinquish his alliance with France. Letters of marque and re- prisal were immediately issued against the Prussian flag. A private letter adds, that England had actually de- clared war against Prussia.
Prussia having determined to in- vade Swedish Pomerania, it is expect- ed a general war will follow in the whole north of Europe.
A German paper mentions that Lubeck is about to be united to the kingdom of Denmark.
It is said that Denmark has been induced to join in alliance for mutual safety with Russia, Sweden and En- gland.
The French troops which have been encamped at Mimmingen, have be- gun to march towards the Rhine, un- der the command of Marshal Ney.
It appears that Admiral Linois had not all the amount of his prizes on board when he was captured by the English. (Bost. Chron.)
FROM AFRICA.
We learn from Capt. White, of the ship Monsoon, who has arrived at Quarantine from Princes Island, (off the Coast of Guinea) that a French squadron, from L'Orient, of one 74 gun ship, two 44s, and one 16 gun brig, commanded by Commodore Lammotte, in the month of February and March last, had run the coast down, and taken the British sloop of war Favorite, of 18 guns, Capt. Dav- ie, and twenty-two sail of English guineamen; and run two ashore at Logas. The squadron left Princes Island, the 1st April, for India. (Bost. Centinel.)
The Antigua Gazette of June 12th mentions the arrival of Jerome Bon- aparte at Martinique, in a line of bat- tle ships, and that four others were ex- pected.
The French have commenced the detention of Swedish vessels in the West-Indies.
The embargo laid at Martinico was taken off the 11th June, except on Swedish vessels.
By the Bellarius, from Bordeaux, the Massachusetts Historical Society have received from Mr. Lee, Consul at that place, a Colossal Bust of Wash- ington.
We have lately heard but very lit- tle about our government's paying tribute to France.—Such a mass of incontrovertible testimony has been adduced to prove that they have not, that even federalists are compelled to be silent. They appear to be ashamed of their misrepresentations, and to be convinced that the people have sense enough to discriminate between truth and falsehood.
We cannot even hope that the fail- ure of this attempt of the federalists, to mislead will produce a reformation
of their conduct. Experience has shown that this is impossible. When- ever they are detected in one fallhood they immediately fabricate another and put it into circulation. And per- haps it is well that they do so. For were they to desist, the people might view them with less disgust, and make less resistance to their exertions. (Political Observatory)
Very presund!—The editor of the Rutland Herald informs the public, with a very serious phiz, that "the story of two millions being shipped off to France, as a tribute to the Emperor, turns out to be a most enormous false- hood!"—Very enormous, to be sure! But did you, Mr. Fay, or did ever a citizen of common sense in the United States, believe this to be a fact? If you or they did, you ought to be this mo- ment disfranchised of every privilege you enjoy, as an American citizen, for not rising in open rebellion and taking arms in defence of your rights and pri- vileges. We did not believe, 'till we saw this paragraph, that there was a man in the Union, entitled to the privi- lege of a freeman, silly enough to be- lieve such a foolish tale. To be sure, a story of this kind has been bandied a- bout by certain party papers, and been made use of for electioneering purposes. It has, however, been supported by no facts or documents—of course, entitled to no credit. Two millions, it is true, have been appropriated to a very indefi- nite purpose, viz. "To defray the extra- ordinary expenses of intercourse with for- eign nations." This may be appro- priated to a very good purpose; or it may not. At any rate, it is not con- sistent with the duty of a good citizen and a real friend to his country, to bring the measures of its government into contempt, by exhibiting as fact what exists only in the heated brain of a mad politician. This conduct not only has a deleterious effect in our own coun- try, but degrades us in the eyes of foreign nations, who look to our public prints for a statement of facts. The editor of a late Quebeck Mercury makes this a plea in justification of the con- duct of the Leander off New York, in interrupting our trade, and murdering our citizens. The Quebeck Gazette, of the same date, however, passes a very handsome compliment on one of our neighboring editors (Dr. Park, who has been chiefly instrumental in misre- presenting the facts relative to this sub- ject) as the most moderate man in the United States, as it respects our disputes with Great Britain. We do not envy the Doctor this tribute of praise; but hope his satisfaction will be as great from the encomiums of British papers, as his shame ought to be for the injury done to his own country and govern- ment. Farmer's Cabinet.
OGDEN'S MEMORIAL!—This sin- gular production, is now running the circle of federal publication. In the spirited language of DUANE, it is one of the most audacious evidences of the a- bandoned profligacy of federalism, and would the limits of our paper permit, we also, would copy it for public con- templat. Ogden charges the Executive of the United States, if not with di- rect approbation, at least with an im- plied assent, and with a previous knowledge and understanding of MI- RANDA's Expedition. He confesses that he fitted out and chartered the "Lean- der" to MIRANDA and that her extra- ordinary equipment was made with some appearance of secrecy. The pro- ceedings of Judge TALMADGE upon his arraignment and examination he represents as unusual, oppressive and ty- rannical. He complains of the dupli- city of the PRESIDENT and SECRET- ARY of State, and says, if he is guilty of any offence, he is justified in it by the conduct of the officers of the Executive Government, who now intend by the sac- rifice of his character, fortune and liberty, to expiate their own errors, or to depre- cate the vengeance of foreign governments, by offering him a victim to their resent- ments. Such is the style of the "me- morial," which this federal HOTSPUR has "respectfully" addressed to the Congress of the U. States, and which Federalists have adopted as the text- book of their misrepresentations. We need not go further than the memo- rial itself, for the proof of the falsity of its statements. We would ask Mr. OGDEN why the extraordinary equipment of the Leander was made with some ap- pearance of secrecy, if he believed he was acting with the approbation of Govern- ment. The fact is, the gratification of mercantile avarice, was a lure to the undertaking. The compensation was, doublets, in proportion to the magni- tude of the risk. The deliverer of CARRACCAS would have it in his power amply to reward the services and sacrifices of OGDEN. The Govern- ment has solemnly disavowed any aid or agency in the enterprise and is it to be credited, on the evidence of SAM- UEL G. OGDEN, that the PRESIDENT of the U. S. and the SECRETARY of state have betrayed the interests of their country to the issue of a despe- rate adventure, and are now screening themselves from responsibility behind the punishment of an offending specu- lator! (Nat. Reg.)

EXTENSIVE BLOCKADE.
LONDON, MAY 19, 1806. The following letter has been addressed to Mr. MUNROE, the American Minister, by Mr. Secretary Fox:— "Downing-Street, May 16, 1806." "The undersigned, his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has received his Majesty's commands to acquaint Mr. MONROE, that the King, taking into consideration the new and extraordinary means resorted to by the enemy, for the purpose of distressing the commerce of his subjects, has thought fit to direct, that the necessary measures should be taken, for the blockade of the coasts, rivers, and ports, from the river Elbe to the port of Brest, both inclusive; and the said coasts, rivers and ports, are, and must be considered as blockaded; but that his Majesty is pleased to declare, that such blockade shall not extend to prevent neutral ships and vessels, laden with goods, not being the property of his Majesty's enemies, and not being contraband of war, from approaching the said coasts, and entering into and sailing from the said rivers and ports, (save and except the coasts, rivers and ports from Ostend to the river Seine, already in a state of strict and vigorous blockade, and which are to be considered as so continued) provided the said ships so approaching and entering (except as aforesaid) shall not have been laden at any port belonging to, or in the possession of any of his Majesty's enemies, and that the said ships and vessels so sailing from the said rivers and ports, (except as aforesaid) shall not be defined to any port belonging to, or in the possession of any of his Majesty's enemies, nor having previously broken the blockade."
"Mr. MONROE is therefore requested to apprise the American Consuls and Merchants, residing in England, that the coasts, rivers and ports, above mentioned, must be considered as being in a state of blockade, and from this time, all the measures authorized by the law of nations, and the respective treaties between his Majesty and the different Neutral Powers, will be adopted and executed, with respect to vessels attempting to violate the said blockade after this notice."
"The undersigned requests Mr. MONROE, to accept the assurances of his high consideration. (Signed) "C. J. FOX." "JAMES MONROE, Esq. &c. &c."
We copy the following from the N. York Mercantile Advertiser of the 9th inst. Mr. Peter Rose, who went out with General Miranda in the ship Leander, and returned yesterday in the sloop Atlantic from Barbadoes, gives the following statement of circumstances which transpired since leaving this port:—
"February 12th, spoke ship cleopatra, who pressed 19 of the Leander's men. 18th, arrived at Jaquemel, and lay there until the 26th of March; then failed and arrived at Aruba on the 3d April. 14th, had a general muster on shore, and failed on the 16th, for Porto Cavello. 28th, engaged a Spanish brig and sloop who captured our two Schooners with 79 men on board. Made sail for Bonaire and arrived there the day following. Sailed from thence May 1st. 26th, spoke ship Lilly, who supplied us with bread and water. 27th, anchored at Grenada, and failed again on the 28th, in company with the Lilly. Four of our men were sent on board the Lilly for presuming to enquire of the captain what was the destination of the ship; and three Spaniards were sent in their place on board the Leander. June 7th, arrived at Barbadoes under the direction of the Lieut. of the Lilly. 14th, whilst Capt. Lewis was on shore, the mate was sent for on board the Lilly, and an officer from the Lilly came to take charge of the Leander, and impressed 14 or 15 Americans, notwithstanding they had good protection. The people in the Leander offered to relinquish their wages if they might be permitted to return home, but this was refused."
It was reported that Admiral Cochrane, with nine sail of armed vessels, was to accompany Miranda on his expedition; and that Col. Armstrong who was at Trinidad, had enlisted 700 men for that purpose. They were busily employed in enlisting at Barbadoes when our informant left it."
A letter from a gentleman on board the Leander, dated Barbadoes June 12, mentions that Admiral Cochrane had delivered to Gen. Miranda 40 Spanish prisoners, equal to the number of Americans the Spanish had in their power—that Admiral Cochrane had supplied Gen. Miranda with four vessels, which are to accompany him to Trinidad—that he was to sail on the 19th, for Trinidad where a number of the General's friends were waiting to join him and where he is expected to receive every necessary assistance for the enterprise. The letter mentions that the son of Col. Smith, whom report has frequently placed among the captured, is still with Miranda.
HORRID MURDER.
AUGUSTA, (Maine) JULY 11. At an early hour on Wednesday morning last, the inhabitants of this town were alarmed with the dreadful information, that Capt. JAMES PURINTON, of this place, in cool blood, had murdered his wife, six children, and himself. His eldest son, with a slight wound, escaped, and his second daughter was found desperately wounded, and probably supposed dead by the father. Between the hours of 2 & 3 a near neighbor, Mr. Dean Wyman, was awakened by the lad who escaped, with an incoherent account of the horrid scene from which he had just fled; he, with a Mr. Ballard, another neighbor, instantly repaired to the fatal spot, and here, after having lighted a candle, a scene was presented which boggles all description. In the outer room lay prostrate on his face, and weltering in his gore, the perpetrator of the dreadful deed,—his throat cut in the most shocking manner,—and the bloody razor lying on a table by his side.—In an adjoining bed-room lay Mrs. Purinton on her bed, her head almost severed from her body; and near her on the floor, a little daughter about ten years old, who probably hearing the cries of her mother, ran to her relief from the apartment in which she slept and was murdered by her side.—In another apartment was found the two oldest and the youngest daughters, the first, aged 19, dreadfully butchered; the second desperately wounded, reclining her head on the body of the dead infant 18 months old, and in a state of horror and almost total insensibility.—In the room with the father, lay in bed with their throats cut, the two youngest sons, the one 8, the other 6 years old.—And in another room was found on the hearth, most dreadfully mangled, the second son, aged 12; he had fallen with his trousers under one arm, with which he had attempted to escape.—On the breakfast over the fire place, was the distinct impression of a bloody hand, where the unhappy victim probably supported himself before he fell. The whole house seemed covered with blood, and near the body of the murderer lay the deadly axe. From the surviving daughter we have no account of this transaction; her dangerous situation prevents any communication, and but faint expectations are entertained of her recovery. The bodies of Mrs. Purinton and her children were interred in the common burying ground; Capt. Purinton in the highway adjoining the farm, and the deadly axe and razor buried with him.

MARRIED. At Haverhill, Mr. WILLIAM GARDLAND, of this town, to Miss ELIZABETH HOW, of the former place.
DIED. In Waterford, (N. Y.) Mrs. ELIZABETH CROSS, aged 60; her death was occasioned by drinking salt-petre , which she mistook for salt. In this town, on Tuesday last, after a lingering illness, Mrs. PRISCILLA TUTTLE, aged 31, wife of Capt. Hugh H. Tuttle. [Drowned]—In Kennebec river, master SAMUEL FITCOMB, son of Sam'l T. Esq. In Raymond, three boys, viz. DANIEL SMALL, 4th, and HENRY and MOSES SIMONS. (Boston paper.)
"Be ye also ready." The guff on the afternoon of the 25th inst was attended with the most awful thunder and lightning, witnessed in this neighbourhood, for some time. A tree within a few feet of a house was struck, without injury to the building; but a melancholy catastrophe occurred on the Concord road, about a quarter of a mile from the village of Brandywine. A Mrs. PLANKINGTON was returning, to town, accompanied by her husband, on horseback, the guff burst suddenly over their heads and Mrs. P. and her horse were instantly struck to the ground—a few heavy breaths evinced to the astonished husband the dying efforts of his beloved wife—she gasped and died!
This catastrophe is equally solemn and affecting—it is a solemn call to us—"be ye also ready"—it is affliction to the disconsolate husband, who, but a few hours before, had left home in health, and was returning with the partner of his joys and solace of his woes, to their family, when alas! the sudden mandate from a bursting cloud, laid her prostrate in the dust, and arrested him to be the solemn witness of mysterious death. Thus sudden and unexpected, may unforeseen death arrest us, and in a moment hurry the fleeting spirit to a world unknown.—Whether asleep or awake! whether at rest or in action, may the brittle thread be in a moment broken. "God thundereth marvelously with his voice, great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend"—therefore, be ye also ready. (Wilmington pap. June 28.)

NOTICE. The Public are respectfully informed that the Subscriber has made many improvements for
CARDING WOOL,
By means of which he will be enabled to use more expedition than heretofore, and consequently to accommodate more customers, and in a shorter time. He has also erected a Machine for the purpose of Picking Wool, and this will be acknowledged to be a very great saving, when we consider the length of time usually employed in picking wool with the hands, and the small addition of cost, which will only be two cents per lb including the greasing. The subscriber would recommend to those who mean to bring their Wool to him not to have it greased, as he will constantly provide himself with the best of oil for that purpose. As his aim in erecting the above Machines was to accommodate the public no less than to benefit himself, he trusts that their generous support and custom will stimulate him to farther improvements, should they remain to be made. Gideon Walker. Portsmouth, July 15, 1806.
A LAD missing.
ABSENTED himself from his mother on the 6th inst. a Lad by the name of JAMES HALEY, about 16 years old. He was frightened away without any occasion. Had on when he went away a dark tow-cloth frock and trowles; Lathin in flesh, and tall for his age. His widowed mother is apprehensive of his safety, and earnestly requests any person who can give any information respecting him to send a line to the subscriber, who is authorized to make all necessary search and enquiry for him, and to forbid any person from harboring or concealing him from her, as they will be dealt with, in such case, according to law—Any person who will return him to his mother, or the subscriber, shall be rewarded for their trouble and expense. JOHN UNDERWOOD. Portsmouth, July 14, 1806.

Miscellaneous Repository. The following patriotic ODE was composed for the celebration of American Independence, July 4, 1806, and sung by the Republicans of Portsmouth on the late joyful occasion.
I. LET all the nations Anthems sing, And praise to our Almighty King, Swell high the choral lay! This day his fiat gave us birth, Among the nations of the earth, Hail to the glorious day!
CHORUS. Let us loud hollanna's raise, Let us sing his constant praise, Let us praise our God above, The God of glory and of love.
II. When first this happy infant land, Heard fell oppression's stern command, Truffling, O Lord! to thee, Her sons with justice for their shield, Rush'd forth indignant to the field, To die, or to be free.
CHORUS. Let us, &c.
III. When hostile troops in torrents pour'd, And war through all the country roar'd With havoc and her spoils, Then didst thou, Lord, thy pow'r display, And strike our foes with dire dismay, 'Till victory crown'd our toils.
CHORUS. Let us, &c.
IV. Now let the people Anthems sing, Loud thanks to our Almighty King, For his divine decree; Which gave, this day, a nation birth And loud proclaim'd to all the earth, Columbia shall be free!
CHORUS. Let us loud hollanna's raise, Let us sing his constant praise, Let us praise our God above, The God of glory and of love.
An English writer gives the following account of the dress of the ladies during the last century.
1700—All going masked to the theatres—Nothing was seen. 1727—The mask being thrown aside—the face appeared. 1750—The mask and gloves being off—the face and hands appeared. 1760—The petticoats were shortened—and half the leg appeared. 1795—The handkerchief being removed, the breast and neck appeared. 1796—The sleeves being shortened—the elbow and half the upper joint of the arm appeared.  Now, supposing the surfaces of the human body to be ten square feet, the naked parts will be nearly five feet at this time; consequently, should they persevere in uncovering in an equal ratio, in about ninety years they will have left upon their bodies little more than a pair of stockings; this will appear by the rules of proportion. From the above data it is evident, that the ideas of delicacy entertained by British ladies is approximating in a certain ratio to that of the females of ancient Sparta; or, perhaps, indeed, to their own ancestors, the Britons:—and, from these premises, it may be no unwarrantable assertion, that in ninety years there will be little smuggling of Flanders lace or other frippery, but their beautiful skins may again be dyed with wood, and have the figures of the heavenly bodies cut or tattooed upon them.
From Arch Bishop Herring's Sermon on Riches. "How imprudently do we act, and against all experience, in imagining we make our children happy by leaving them very rich. Alas! if you have made no other provision for their happiness, and have not sown the seeds of virtue in their minds, cultivated their understandings, and broke their passions to the command of reason in giving them riches, you have only put instruments of mischief into the hands of madmen, and your friends will live to see it when you shall be no more, that all your care and pains, your trouble and solicitude, your laborious days and watchful nights, the forfeiture of your good name, and loss of all your virtue, have only served to minister to the foolish and riotous excesses of a thoughtless, and wicked and ungrateful child, who ridicules and insults your memory, squanders away your substance, and makes your industry, and even your tenderness and affection for him, the jest of his loose companions! Solomon has told us that, after having been at great pains and cost in contriving, and purchasing, and settling every thing, that could contribute to the support of his throne, and to the ornament of human life—he sat himself down to consider to what purpose all this expense, and labour! And he was so far from being pleased, and satisfied with the reflection, that he tells us in a strain of indignation, That he hated all his labour which he had taken under the sun, because he should leave it to the man that should be after him; and who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool (intimating, perhaps, the unprofitable genius of Rehoboam.) Yet shall he have rule over all my labour, wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewn myself wise under the sun.—This is also vanity."
Longevity.—Six ladies in good health all since, lately visited a son of one, and nephew of the rest, at Providence. Their ages amounted to 478 years. The eldest 93, the youngest 74.
