Massachusetts Legislature.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1807.
Agreeably to assignment, the two branches assembled in the representatives' Chamber when a message was sent to his Excellency, to inform him that the two branches were assembled in convention, and ready to receive His Excellency's Communication.
His Excellency, attended by the Sheriff of Suffolk, and accompanied by the Hon. Council, and Secretary, came in, and delivered the following
SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, I AM induced, by the respect I entertain for you, and by a wish to comply with the usage of this government, to request the indulgence of this meeting.
An attempt to lay before you the consideration of particular measures, which, in my opinion, might tend to the advantage of the Commonwealth, would appear as a piece of ostentation. The time that has elapsed, since I was introduced to the chair, has not been sufficient for a minute review of our internal police. I shall, therefore, by special message, suggest to you, such matters as shall appear to me to deserve your legislative attention.
Though I do not make a communication to you on the business of this session, yet my constituents, at this interesting crisis, have a right to expect from me, without reserve or equivocation, a declaration of my sentiments on the duties of the office they have called me to sustain. In complying with this, I must, of course, express my ideas of some of the most important, general principles of our government.
The Constitution is formed on principles to guard the Legislature from an interference of the executive department; yet in order to prevent those errors which might otherwise happen, from the hurry of business, or a change of members in either house, it is made a part of the governor's duty, carefully to revise the acts passed by the legislature, and to propose such objections as he may have to any bill they shall lay before him. In the performance of this important duty, I shall always treat you with the respect due to the legislature of the State. And, as I can have no object in view but the true interest of the Commonwealth, you will receive my objections, should I make any, as offered with an intention to preserve the happiness of the State, and to promote the public welfare. Should a question happen to arise on the constitutionality of a bill, I must submit myself, explicitly, to your candor and justice: for however we may differ in opinion on the application of the Constitution, in this we shall always agree, that on an entire preservation of the social compact, by which we exist as a Commonwealth, and which is the supreme law of the legislature itself, the safety and the prosperity of the people depend.
The judiciary department of our government will, invariably, claim the first regard of patriotism. Upon the wisdom and purity of that department, freedom, property, and all the valuable possessions in civil society depend.—In all countries, the principles and feelings of the magistrates and judges ought to be in a coincidence with the nature of the government:—This is its principal source of energy.
The judiciary department being so necessary and important, is an expensive branch of administration. In a State, where an enquiry by grand juries, and trials by petit juries, are fixed by the Constitution as the strong barriers of the people's rights, the modes of punishing crimes, and of obtaining justice, on private demands, are more expensive still. A cheap, ready, and plain manner of obtaining remedies for wrongs and of compelling the execution of contracts by fixed, established rules, forms the strongest lines of a good government. Under this impression, the people, in forming the Constitution, declared, that all the judges should hold their offices, as long as they should behave themselves well:—And that the judges of the supreme judicial court should have permanent and honorable salaries, established by law.
The office of jurors may be thought by some to be a burden—but if that institution should be abolished, there would no longer be freedom or property. It ought to be guarded by laws, not only against corruption, but against all undue influence and party prejudice.

There is no doubt, but that improvements may be effected in the jurisprudence of the commonwealth: and therefore the attention of the legislature will not be withdrawn from it. But in all alterations, a sacred regard will be had to the Constitution:—While the plans adopted shall have such a degree of perfection, as to render them respectable and permanent.
The Governor, being commander in chief of the militia, when they are not in the actual service of the United States, must have a duty devolved upon him, which is of no less consequence to the other States in the Nation, than it is to this Commonwealth. When we contemplate the immeasurable shores we give to the sea; the vast extent of territory our national dominion spreads itself over, we are obliged to confess the error of a reliance on a standing army, for an effective defence against the invasion of a foreign enemy. To preserve the forms of war, with the principles and feelings of military discipline, some regular troops are necessary; but our defence must remain with the militia. They are a perpetual guard against internal commotions; and invincible power to shield a country against its external enemies. The soil must be protected by its owners. This description includes all the people, because all have an equal right to acquire, and possess free simple estates.—Impressed with these sentiments, the militia shall have my unceasing attention throughout the year.
Peace with all the world, is the great object of our National Councils; yet, if we would maintain so invaluable a blessing, we must be prepared to meet every hostile aggression, and to repel every invading insult. A dependence on any other power for assistance, will, finally, involve us in difficulties, from which we cannot extricate ourselves, without great expense and danger. A treaty of alliance must open a wide door to the influence of a foreign nation: it would weaken the natural pillars of our national independence.
Europe, as the illustrious Washington has told us, "has a set of primary interests, which to us, have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she "must be engaged in frequent contro- "versies, the causes of which, are essen- "tially foreign to our concerns."—Those cautious sentiments have been carefully adopted by the present President. From the wisdom, firmness and moderation of his measures, under the favor of God, we remain the quiet spectators of those warring wars which the situation of European powers may have rendered expedient, or necessary, among them; but by which they are deluged in blood, and oppressed with expenses.
Should a suitable proportion of our militia, in the United States, be trained to a proper degree of discipline, and be properly armed, though the first column of an invading enemy might not be instantly repelled, yet the decisive appearance of victory, would be soon exhibited on the standard of our union.
It is true that the art of war, like other arts, is to be, most perfectly learned from practice and experience; but, this is a bloody, and an expensive method of acquiring knowledge. In a nation, where it is not received as an established truth, that war is the natural state of man; in a country, where no invasion is to be expected, but from the error, or rashness, not from the interest, of a foreign power, the art of war may be sufficiently cultivated, at a moderate expense, by military schools, and otherwise, in time of peace. Each State in the Nation, has the same interest in the discipline of the militia of the others, as it has in that of its own: and, therefore, there can be no impropriety in contemplating this, as a subject of national concernment. Whether you, Gentlemen, will conceive it to be your duty, to use your influence with Congress, on an affair of such magnitude, as far as it shall comport with the National and State Constitutions; or whether you will turn your attention to the militia of your own State alone, I cheerfully submit to your wisdom. But this I venture to affirm, that all neglect, or delay in this business, is incompatible with the safety of the country.
No foreign power will dare to invade our country, in a project of conquest, unless the United States, like the antient republics, by controversies and animosities amongst themselves, shall furnish their enemies with the hopes as well as the means of success. To preserve a union of interest, and sentiment, so absolutely necessary to our existence as a nation, jealousies are to be laid aside; charity cherished, and a reciprocity of affection and civility to be exhibited. All the States must be the country of the citizens of each, and each State the country of all. Our national union glowing on the public opinion, is the best defence of our sovereignty: and those who would check it there, would sever the root from whence the tree of Liberty draws, in copious streams its principal nourishment.
The chief magistrate of the nation, being an elective officer, the voice of the majority, taken according to the
forms of the Constitution, must be decisive in the choice: it is the voice of all. To treat the election with disrespect, is to treat the Constitution with contempt. Nothing can tend more to derogate from the respect due to us as a nation, than an appearance of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction at the forms and principles of our own governments.
GENTLEMEN,
The great improvements in agriculture, the increase of commerce, and the encouragement of the arts in our country, furnish the most satisfactory proofs of the perfection of our political institutions. But the path of public, as well as of private prosperity, is to be trodden with care. Governments depending, for their execution, in so great a measure upon the will of the governed, so frequently expressed by their suffrages, demand, for their preservation, great intelligence in the body of the people. To maintain this, our institution of town schools is admirably adapted. These, with the academies and colleges, are rendered indispensable by the nature of our government: and claim the constant attention of the legislature, for their support and encouragement.
The sentiments in regard to public worship, piety, religion and morality, interwoven with the Constitution of the Commonwealth, so far as we have a right to decide, have had great influence on the people. We observe with great pleasure the erection of edifices for public worship of various denominations in christianity: teachers every where settled and supported; and public devotion generally attended upon.—These circumstances, under our established form of government, which excludes all persecution and intolerance on principles of religion and modes of worship, give to our State a very honorable appearance, in the view of the enlightened part of the world. The principles and precepts of the gospel, if they are attended to and improved for religious and moral purposes only, will always make good men; and good men can never be bad citizens. Upon the literary and religious institutions of the State, our happiness as a people, essentially depends: and I shall rejoice in seeing the legislature attentive to their encouragement and support: While, at the same time, that freedom of opinion, and those rights of conscience, which are solemnly recognized in the Constitution, are sacredly maintained.
GENTLEMEN,
Government, in its nature, is a concentration of the public opinion to a certain form of public rule. This may be maintained, in a despotism, by terror; but in a republic, it must be supported by an attachment of the people to their country. By public virtue. To produce this attachment, the powers of the government must be exerted to give equal advantages to all its subjects: not to create wealth, or exclusive privileges to any; but in securing to all, respectively, as far as it can be done by general laws, well executed, the enjoyment of the various gifts which God bestows upon them. For, to use the language of our declaration of rights, "no man, "or corporation, or association of men, "have any other title to obtain advantages distinct from those of the community, than what arises from the consideration of services rendered to the public." Where the laws secure to every man the same privileges to acquire and hold property, the wish to accumulate wealth, by fair means, and honest industry, is inseparable from patriotism. Enterprise and industry are in the class of public virtues, because they are the unfailing source of wealth to a nation.
A respect to the civil authority, a correct regard to the rights of others, and a ready obedience to the laws, confer on a people a dignity of character, which is intimately blended with the social virtues; and habitually becomes the strength of a civil community.
"Should any one be daring enough to suggest the idea, that the people of Massachusetts are not, in the enlightened situation God has bestowed upon them, under the advantages they are favored with, and the habits acquired from the manner of their education, competent to the support of a free government, by their suffrages, frequently exercised, such person ought to be restrained, as a dangerous incendiary; because it is as essentially wrong to speak as to act treason.—Every citizen has an unalienable right to express his opinion upon the administration of the government, and the conduct of his rulers: But there are certain primary principles, which constitute the leading, essential, distinguishing features of an elective republic: These are to be treated with a solemn reverence, and supported by a religious respect.
GENTLEMEN,
I embrace this opportunity to express the sense I have of the honor done me by my fellow citizens—and
to assure them of my firm attachment to the principles of the Commonwealth. They may rely with safety, that it is my determination to exert myself, uniformly, to maintain the dignity and faith of this State, and to strengthen and consolidate the National Union, on the principles of the National Government. At the same time, I assure you, Gentlemen, that, on my part, nothing shall be omitted, which will render this session pleasant to you, and beneficial to your constituents.
JAMES SULLIVAN. JUNE 3, 1807.
Foreign Intelligence.
French Grand Army Bulletins.
BULLETIN No. 67, Is dated Osterode, March 5, details several skirmishes with the Swedes and Prussians, on the 14th and 15th Feb. all which terminated (as usual) in favor of the French, and adds, "The winter in Poland is variable. We have not any sick; but the Russians have a great number."
BULLETIN No. 68, Is dated Osterode March 29—mentions several victories with the Prussians and Cossacks. On the 26th the Garrison of Danzick made a general sortie, which proved very fatal, and was repulsed on all sides—a colonel, with 400 men and two pieces of cannon, were taken. As for the rest, there is nothing new. The lakes are still frozen; though there is some appearance of spring.
Imperial Message.
The Message of his Majesty the Emperor and King, to the Senate, states, that his Majesty had ordered a Project of a Senatus Consultum to be laid before them for calling out 80,000 Conscripti for 1808.
"Though at present we ask for new sacrifices from our people, in order that we may obtain a greater extent of force, it is not that we should abuse this power for the purpose of prolonging the war. Our policy is invariable.—We offered peace to England before the fourth coalition had shown itself: the same Peace we offer to England still. The principal Envoy which England employed in those negotiations has made the most public declarations, and in the most unequivocal terms, that the peace would have been both honorable and advantageous to England: Thus he has made the justice of our cause appear evident. We are ready to conclude a peace with Russia, upon the same conditions as were signed by her negotiator, but which were rejected in consequence of the arts and intrigues of the English. We are ready to restore to the eight millions of the inhabitants whom we have conquered, their tranquility, and to restore to the King of Prussia his Capital."
"But though so many traits of moderation, already so often renewed, have not been able to prevail over the deceptions to which England, enflamed as it is by its passions, has had recourse, that power cannot see the possibility of peace but in our annihilation; nothing, therefore, remains for us but to bear the calamities of war, and to throw the shame and odium of it upon that nation, which continues to purchase its monopoly with the blood of the continent.—We shall, in the resources of our own mind, in the courage, devotion, and the power of our people, find certain means to render all the efforts of that coalition, formed of hatred and injustice, null and void, and to turn them to the disgrace of their author.—Frenchmen, we brave all dangers for the glory and tranquility of our children."
"Given at our Imperial Head Quarters at Osterode, March 20, 1807."
VIENNA, MARCH 28. The following intelligence, dated the 3d of March, has been received from Constantinople. On the 28th of February, the English attempted a landing on Prince's Island, but it miscarried. Their loss on the occasion is stated at 400 killed and wounded, and 200 taken prisoners. The following day the fleet weighed anchor, and proceeded to the Dardanelles.
The number of Turks who took up arms in Constantinople and its vicinity, amounted to 100,000. Public order was not in the least disturbed in that city. The Grand Seigneur had not shown the slightest disposition to leave the place, as had been falsely asserted.
CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 4. The negotiation between Mr. Arbuthnot and the Ministers of the Porte being broken off, Admiral Duckworth, with six ships of the line and four frigates, has made several movements.
The Turkish fleet, of between 15 and 20 sail, under the Grand Admiral, has gone in quest of the English. We expect soon to hear of a naval engagement.
The report of the Russians having passed the Danube is not confirmed.
Trial of Capt. Whitby, of the Leander.
A Court Martial assembled on Board the Gladiator, in Portsmouth Harbour, on the 16th and 17th inst to enquire into the conduct of Capt. Whitby, late of his Majesty's ship Leander, who by order of Capt. John P. Beresford, of his Majesty's ship Cambrian, (about April last) then commander in chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels on the Halifax station, was directed to cruise off New York, for the purpose of gaining information; and who, by a letter dated the 7th of May last, to Capt. Beresford, representing that on the 23th of the preceding month, several vessels were coming down from the light-house, near New York, and as they obstinately persisted in not attending to the first shot fired from the Leander, when closely pursued, several of the said vessels were boarded, and among the number that did not bring to, was a coasting sloop, on board of which it appeared, by various letters and papers transmitted by Capt. Beresford to the Admiralty, an American Seaman was unfortunately killed, by a shot from the Leander, or from some other of his Majesty's ships and vessels then under the orders of Capt. Whitby; the court having enquired into the conduct of Capt. Whitby, on a charge of violating the neutrality of a nation in amity with his Majesty, and having, on the 23th of April last, within the waters and jurisdictions of the United States of America, unlawfully, and of his malice aforethought, caused a shot to be fired from his Majesty's ship Leander, whereby one John Pierce a citizen of America was feloniously killed and murdered; and having heard the evidence in support of the charge, and Captain Whitby in his defence; and having maturely considered the whole, were of opinion that the charge had not been proved, and did adjudge Capt. Whitby—to be acquitted.
At the close of the last session of the Legislature a report of a committee for selling lands belonging to the State, was voted to be accepted by the House of Representatives and concurred in by the Senate, and a sale has been accordingly advertised. In my opinion, it would have better comported not only with our usual mode of transacting important public business, but also with the spirit of our Constitution, that this transaction had been preceded by the formality of a resolve or act.

THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1807.
The Honorable Senate and House being met in the Representatives chamber, His Excellency JOHN LANGDON, Esq. came in, escorted by the committee, attended by the Hon. COUNCIL, and manifested his acceptance of the office of Chief Magistrate; He then took and subscribed the oath of office, which oath was administered by the Hon. SAMUEL BELL, Esq. President of the Senate. Said President then declared His Excellency JOHN LANGDON, Esq. Governor of the State of New Hampshire, the present year, and presented him with a copy of the Constitution of the State, as a directory in the duties of his office.
His Excellency then made the following
ADDRESS
to the two branches of the Legislature;
Gentlemen of the Senate, and
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
THROUGH the indulgence of the good people of this State, I have the honor of being again elected their Chief Executive Magistrate, and for this repeated mark of their respect and confidence, I return them my sincere thanks.
By the leave of Divine Providence we are here assembled agreeably to our Constitution, as the Representatives of a free people; and we have the greatest reason to rejoice and to congratulate each other, that we are come together at this time, under such happy circumstances.
WHEN we see the wonderful events that are passing before us, the convulsions and revolutions that are taking place among the nations of the earth; we are naturally led to consider the happy condition of our beloved country, which should excite our hearts to give glory and thanks to that Being, from whom cometh down every good, and in whose hands are the hearts of all men.—It is by his goodness that the councils of our nation have been guided, and that our general government have been directed into such measures as have preserved the peace and prosperity of the United States.
THE unanimity that prevailed in our Legislature at their last session, the very great attention and dispatch given to the public business, have been of the highest benefit to the State, and have reflected much honor on our public proceedings;—this will no doubt be a great inducement to the present Legislature, to follow their laudable example, as far as circumstances will permit; as the same good effects will be produced, and equal satisfaction be given to our constituents.
A very small part of the business of the last session was left unfinished, but such as remains to be completed, together with your own particular arrangements, will no doubt claim your first attention.
THE Legislature in June last passed a resolution authorizing the Governor to purchase four thousand stands of Arms for the use of the State.—I have made diligent enquiry of the large importers of arms in the different seaports, but as I have not been able to procure any at the price which was limited by the resolution—none have been purchased.
AGREEABLY to the directions of the Legislature, the Sheriff of the county of Hillsborough has been called upon, and has given bond as the law directs; the instrument is lodged in the office of the Treasurer, as will appear by his certificate, filed in the Secretary's office.
I consider the Militia of the State as one of the most important objects that will come under your consideration;—two much praise cannot be given to the Generals and other officers, (with very few exceptions,) for their great exertions and activity the last year in calling out; arranging and disciplining their men; and the citizens have, to their great honor, cheerfully attended to their duty in the field. This must give great pleasure and satisfaction to our government.—When we reflect upon the importance of a well regulated Militia, (our safest and most natural defence,) it seems to me, that every thing should be done by the Legislature, to preserve and encourage the military spirit that at present prevails.—Our brethren in the Western States have recently, (to their very great honor) given us an instance of the great advantage and security of a well regulated Militia; a few companies of which (with a truly patriotic zeal,) in a very short time defeated a dangerous insurrection, which might have cost our country much blood and treasure.
SEEING the great advantages of a Militia, permit me to call upon you to make such further arrangements, and give such further encouragement, as shall be thought expedient.
THE captains of companies are often at considerable expense for refreshment to their men on muster days, over and above the fines that may be received for non-attendance; which operates as a heavy tax on them, and should be remedied.
As several Artillery companies have been some time formed, and others are forming, field pieces are much wanted, and should be immediately procured; and it is necessary that a sufficient sum of money should be appropriated, not only to purchase the Artillery and its apparatus, but to keep the same in repair, and to furnish such standards and other colors as are or may be wanted for the use of the Infantry and Cavalry.
THE increasing demands, for the maintenance of the State paupers, require some attention to prevent any fraud from taking place.—It is supposed that some persons of this description have been brought, or run over the line from other States into this, and left to become chargeable to us.—An act should be passed to prevent this nefarious practice.
THE citizens of this State suffer much from the great increase of counterfeit bank bills. It would be a happy circumstance if any measure could be adapted to remedy this evil.—Should the cashiers of the different banks in the State, be empowered to cross or mark all bills of any denomination that might be offered them, being satisfied that they were counterfeit, it would in some measure destroy their currency; and should any bills so crossed or marked, prove to be good, as the bank from which they issued, would receive them notwithstanding the mark, therefore nothing would be lost to the holder.
OUR Constitution has enjoined it as a duty on Legislators, to cherish the interest of literature, and the sciences, and to promote agriculture and manufactures. It is undoubtedly one of the first duties of the government, by every measure in their power, to encourage and support both private and public institutions for the education of the people; and to provide, that exemplary and learned instructors be employed in the schools throughout the State;—for by these means, the rising generation will be qualified for public as well as private concerns, and the greatest security will be obtained for the rights and privileges of the people.
As vice and immorality are a great reproach to any people, and at present greatly prevail, and gives us the highest reason to fear, the Divine displeasure; it becomes us as a government to take every prudent measure for their suppression.
THE breach of the Sabbath, profane cursing and swearing and inebriation, must be observed by every one. It appears to me that it would be well to revise the Laws touching these crimes, and enjoin it as a duty on all town officers, to make complaint to magistrates, against persons committing these offences, that the wholesome Laws of the State may be better executed.
THE state of the Treasury will be laid before you, by which you may judge what sum of money, if any, it will be necessary to raise the present year.

I shall with great cheerfulness con- cur with you, in every measure that may be thought conducive to the pub- lic interest, and that may promote the happiness of our fellow-citizens.
JOHN LANGDON.

From the SALOM REGISTER:
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
The last English accounts prove that the reports of the peace between England and Turkey are not worthy of credit. Nor does any proof exist that the Turks are so desirous of their naval strength as to make no effort to maintain the posses- sion of their own seas. Their military ar- rangements have hitherto been sufficient to prevent the Russians from any attempt to pass the Dnieper. In the middle of March last, the preparations for war in Turkey had induced many new appoint- ments and had called for the best abilities of the nation. Every concession had been made in the disaffected provinces, and with appearances of success. Pashwan Oglu had prepared his adherents for a friendly part with the Turks. After his opposi- tion in 1796, he made a treaty with the Porte, and though proud of his success against Hussein, he made another treaty in 1798. The sense of a common enemy promises a consent of operations against the Russians. The Poles continue favour- able to the French. No disaffection has been yet insinuated. The causes of their present situation will oblige them to associate many hopes with the success of the French. Rubliers thus states the causes of their loss of liberty. While Russia was unable to accomplish all its designs against the Poles, while it wasted a country, it could not conquer, while Poland was too much divided to save itself from oppression, and still hoping to escape from it, two neighbouring powers, whose forces, when separated, surpassed those of Russia, united with Russia in a treaty, which never had an example. An hundred thousand troops surrounded at once this feeble republic. They carried by united strength the best provinces, and these two new oppressors, always enemies, though for a moment engaged in this alliance, could direct Rus- sia by the fears they inspired, and left in its power the unfortunate remains of Po- land, which they had not agreed to share. The sudden increase of the three powers has necessarily changed their policy, a gene- ral revolution in Europe has followed, and this dismemberment of an ancient republic has become one of the greatest events in its consequences to our continent.
From France we are assured that the greatest efforts are made to increase the military strength of that nation. The re- inforcements of the Grand Army are im- mense, and appearances are that all the forces will be suspended till some great op- eration of the Grand Army has been fi- nished. The demand for the new Con- script from the Emperor, explains the purpose to be provided with all the strength of France. The troops collecting for the Grand Army in Holland, amount to 25,000, to be marched immediately. The Swiss have given orders to ascertain the troops which have to march from that coun- try by agreement with the French Empe- ror. The French say that large bodies of Spanish horse and troops are already upon the march. The allies have sent on their troops from Bavaria and Wittenburg, and from Italy. The Saxons have in- creased the number of troops from that country, and are soon to assemble their States upon their finances. Mr. Ghibig, the envoy of Saxony, was at Posen, on his way to the French head quarters, on the 12th of March. According to the 67th and 68th bulletins, of which only an out- line has appeared in our paper, and which bring down the accounts from the armies of the North till the close of March, the places besieged by the French allow no suc- cess to their movements. They pronounce the general tranquillity of the French ar- my. The skirmishes which have taken place have been without any important advantages to the Russians. Some ar- rangements for civil order have been made at Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Sichofsky has been chosen President of the city Council, and the provinces conquered from Prussia are to be in six departments. The French Emperor still declares to the Senate, that he had no purpose to prolong the war for any ends of ambition. That he was still ready to give peace to the world upon the terms already known. He would negotiate with England upon the prop- ositions he had made to that nation. That he would consent to grant to Russia the treaty which their minister had signed, and was willing to withdraw from Prussia, and rejoin its capital and its government to their King. Such has been the lan- guage, whenever he has been determined to put his fate upon the event of a great action.
The British are hardly known in the military affairs of Europe, but they hold, without any competition, the sovereignty of the seas. An account of their naval forces, given in March last, represented that they had above seven hundred armed ships in commission, and of these nearly an eighth part were ships of the line, and
above five hundred of its armed ships were at sea. The vessels in commission carried nearly 20 thousand guns, and above 170 thousand men. The annual expenses have been lately given from 70 to 90 millions of dollars, without regard to the indirect expenses, which are incalculable. The resources of the French and their allies, are not in the partial depredations on the ocean, but in the rigour with which they interrupt the channels of British com- merce. And in such indirect expedients to impoverish England, all commerce ex- periences great inconveniences and fre- quent embarrassments.
In Hispaniola, the Blacks are involved in the evils of civil war. Petion, whose affairs seem more favourable than those of Christophe, has declared in blockade all the ports of his rival, and has fortified him- self at Port au Prince, which very early suffered from the discontent of the colony, tho' it shared richly in the favour of the royal government. On the 9th of March, Petion was declared President by 13 out of 16 votes. Christophe had that honor on the 28th December, but the office was declared vacant upon his revolt. On the 21st of March, the Senate decreed that the President should direct all foreign negotia- tions, and sign all treaties, but that no se- cret articles should interfere with the professed articles, and no treaty be valid but by the consent of the Senate.
We have favourable and official ac- counts from Tunis, that the Bey is in strict amity with the United States. It is said the Barbary States are not in peace with each other. The Spaniards appear to enter with great vigour into all the French measures adopted to distress the British commerce. They are influenced by the loss of their fleet from America, and by the attempt to carry war into the heart of their colonies.
From the AURORA.
TO THE PARTY CALLED FEDERALISTS.
To the advocates of armies and navies— those who plead for a government of bay- onets instead of one of reason, the friends of taxation, places and pensions, the men who insist on it that all republics have been over- turned, that ours will not be durable, that we consequently must have a king, a master, and the sooner we have him the better; to men of such principles, which are in fact to- ry principles of the highest order; who as- pect to call the respectable farmers and me- chanics, the people, the low born, the swinish multitude of Burke—who must be guarded from their worst enemies, themselves; you gentlemen at length begin to see the horror which the majority of Americans entertain for such principles, and you are now en- deavouring to deceive them by calling your- selves federal republicans, or independent republicans, that is according to your po- litics you would be raised above the people and independent of them. But it is not suf- ficient to change your name, those farmers and mechanics whom you affect to despise, have too much sense to be deceived by names, you must change all your bad habits, false arguments, and even mode of thinking; you must learn that the best of politics is to enlighten mankind, that enlightened man is to be governed by just ideas of his real inter- est, that his interest is peace, agriculture, arts, commerce, and productive industry— not kings, nobles, armies, navies, placemen, pensioners, taxes, war and devastation. Look to Europe, and contemplate the miseries of kingly government, with their supporters, armies and navies; in which of those nations are the inhabitants so indepen- dent and happy as in America?
Gentlemen, while blaming your princi- ples, I respect many of you as men. I know that a great majority of you have adopted tory and ruinous politics for the same reason that unthinking men formerly entered into the crusades, you have been led into errors by a few specious and popular men, who had themselves not genius sufficient to trace the power of habit on the human mind: thus having committed an error, self love and the spirit of party render it diffi- culty for you to reform, but there is more real dignity in abandoning errors than in persisting in them.
Men in general have the habit of con- versing on politics. Few have had industry or time to read and study the cause of the rise or decline of nations—permit me to re- commend to your leisure hours, instead of whist or the pondering game of chess, to read Gibbon, Adam Smith on the wealth of nations, and Hume's essays, from such works you will get some idea of the value of free governments; and the miseries which crowd into nations where the rulers lead the inhabitants from productive industry, into wars, and consequent oppression, such as tory principles would introduce into this happy country; it is time that you should be convinced that tory principles cannot raise you to power, it is your interest and the interest of America that you should be- come real friends to your country.
By studying the arts and sciences. By promoting useful improvements. By contemplating and promoting the poli- tics which direct the greatest number of men to productive industry—and draw them from war and ruinous pursuits: I recom- mend to you to estimate army and naval es- tablishments, then calculate how much more good might be done by expending such sums in schools, roads, bridges, canals, and public improvements, see what wealth and conven- iences such an application of the resources and labor of our country will produce, and consider whether more persons would not then enjoy content and ease, and each of you have a better chance of such enjoy- ments, than you possibly could have, were the army, marine, places, pensions and dig- nities created for which you now fish? It is said if all men knew their real interest no arguments would be necessary to induce them to follow it, let me recommend to you to study political economy, it is the basis of all that is right in politics, by studying it you will learn the real interest of America, and have the pleasure of debating on prin- ciples which admit of demonstration. There is a real dignity in man who is guided by reason, who can trace society from barba- rous ages to present times, and point out the measures which lead to future improve-
ment, such a man ever referring to the prin- ciples of civilization, is not to be led into errors, nor will he become the miserable and blind creature of any political man or par- ty. Republicans, the readings here recom- mended to the tories will point out to you many truths important to be familiarly known. PACIFICATOR.
In the American Citizen of the 29th ult. is published a list of the executive and le- gislative officers chosen at the late election in New York State, to which the editor has subjoined the following correct note:—
"I have made no distinction between fed- eralists and quids, as none was made at the election; the two parties having acted to- gether as one and the same. I have another reason for avoiding the term quid. It is now evident that a third party cannot exist; and that whatever shape discontented sec- tions of the republican party may assume, they are in fact federalists: I wish to be for- bearing that mild republicans may return to the bosom of the party."
The acquittal of Whitby, was what we expected. His trial we always considered as a mere farce. The con- tinued outrages and insults received from Britain, and evidently sanction- ed by her government, left us no room to hope for the punishment of this cul- prit. We must do ourselves justice, if we with it done; and the sooner we set about it, the better. America has the power of making the throne of Britain totter to its base, without building a ship or firing a gun.

Distressing Accident!
On Monday last, while a number of our citizens were rejoicing at the result of the late General Election, an unfortunate accident occurred. A cannon was discharging cannon in honor that event on Fort-Hill, the field-piece by not being properly spunged vented, went off while three men were ramming the wadding; by which means John Davis, an U. S. soldier, had his left arm shattered, his right arm much burnt, and received other wounds in his body: Ephraim Rich, a seaman, had his right arm shattered, and his face and eyes much burnt: and Obediah Sawyer, a carpenter, had his right arm shattered. Davis has had his left arm amputated, but it is doubtful whether he will recover; he has a wife and three children. Rich's arm is amputated, but fears are enter- tained of the loss of his eyes; he has a wife far advanced in pregnancy. Sawyer's arm is amputated, and is in a fair way of a speedy recovery; he is a young man without a family.

Trial of Burr.
On Friday the 22d ultimo came on at Richmond the trial of Col. Burr. At half past 12 the court was open- ed. Chief Justice Marshall and Judge Griffin present.
Eighteen of the grand Jurors had answered to their names, when Col. Burr rose and objected to the manner in which some of them were summon- ed; the Marshal having, he said, ex- cused some after they had been sum- moned, and summoned others to make up the deficiency—which proceeding was illegal and improper.
After some debate on this objection between Mr. Botts, Mr. Wickham and Mr. Randolph on the part of Col. Burr, and Mr. Hay on the part of the U. S. the Marshal was examined and admitted that he had excused Mr. John Taylor and Mr. John M'Rae, and summoned Col. Barbour and Dr. Foulhee. The Court decided that these two gentlemen had not been le- gally added to the panel, and they were withdrawn.
The panel then being reduced to 16 Col. Burr proceeded to object to William B. Giles, one of the number, on the ground of his having voted for the suspension of the habeas cor- pus act, and having since that time declared that the documents furnish- ed evidence of Burr's guilt, and guilt of the highest grade. He also object- ed to Col. Wilson Cary Nicholas, on the ground of personal enmity, suffi- cient to blind the judgment of the wilful men.
Mr. Giles and Mr. Nicholas both withdrew, after addressing the court in justification of themselves.
Dr. Wm. Foulhee was excused from serving, upon his expressing a wish to be discharged. Major Eg- gleston, Mr. John Randolph and Col. James Barbour severally wished to be discharged, but their excuses were deemed insufficient by the Court.
The following gentlemen were then sworn on the Grand Jury: John Randolph, foreman, Joseph Eggleston, Littleton Waller Taze- well, Robert Taylor, William Dan- iel, junr. John Mercer, Edward Pe- gram, Munford Beverly, John Am- bler, Thomas Harrison, Joseph C. Ca- bell, James Pleasants, junr. John Bro- ckenbrough, Alex'r Shepherd, James Barbour, James M. Garnet.
The chief justice delivered a charge to the grand jury, in which he enume- rated the several offences cognizable by them under the laws of the United States, and particularly defined the crime of treason.
After the grand jury had retired, a debate of some length ensued on a proposition to instruct the jury special-
ly with respect to the admissibility of certain evidence which it was suppo- sed would be adduced on the part of the United States.
The names of the several witnesses summoned in behalf of the United States were called over many of whom and among others Gen. Wilkinson were absent. Such as appeared were recognized to appear next day at 11 o'clock, to which hour the court ad- journed.
Richmond, is represented as full of strangers from all parts of the Union, drawn thither by the pending trial.
Yesterday morning, at half past 4 A. M. departed this life, Mrs. STATIRA MAN- NING, aged 54; the amiable consort of Capt. Thomas Manning.—At a few mo- ments past 11, in the forenoon of the pre- ceding day, she was seized with a paralytic affection of the right side, and less than 24 hours of suffering, concluded the solemn scene.—By this sudden and affecting dispen- sation of Divine Providence, a husband is bereaved of the tenderest of companions; her numerous children, of a most affection- ate mother; and the fatherless, the widow, and the poor, of a never failing friend.—As a wife, a parent, and a friend, the dear de- parted had few equals, and none superior. —It may indeed be said with truth, of the beloved dead, that she opened her mouth in wisdom; and on her tongue dwelt the law of kindness; while her children have reason to arise, and call her blessed; and her husband and her works, they praise her in the gates of the city of her people. Many daughters have done virtuously: it was thine to excel!
The funeral of the deceased, will move this afternoon at 5 P.M. from Capt. Man- ning's dwelling-house, near Liberty Bridge; and friends and relations will please to at- tend without further invitation.

The new planet discovered by M. Harding, of Lilienthal, near Bremen, has received the name of Juno. It is of the eighth magnitude, it appeared to have a peculiar motion and after observing it for several days, he clearly ascertained it was a planet. Its mean distance from the sun is three times that of the earth, or about one hundred millions of leagues, it is consequently farther than Ceres or Pallas, whose distance is 96,000,000. Its diameter has not yet been ascertained; but its size appears nearly the same as that of Ceres. This is the twelfth planet discovered within these few years. Herschel having discovered Uranus and its six satellites to Saturn; Piazzi discovered Ceres, and Olbers discovered Pallas. London paper.
Musical phenomenon.—A gentleman of musical science and taste, and upon whose veracity we can place the utmost reliance, has favored us with the following very curious particulars of a circumstance, to which he himself, as well as many people of the highest respectability, have at various times been a witness:
"It is no less singular than true, that a gentleman of fortune, in the West of England, can actually sing a duet; and, what is truly astonishing, he can reserve an octave; ascending in one clef and descending in another at the same moment. He sings the treble and bass of St. Stephen's beautiful Glee of 'Sigh no more ladies,' in a very correct manner—it must be observed, that he does not articulate the words; but at one and the same time produces two distinct sounds, which he can govern at pleasure, and which resemble an Oboe and a Bassoon."
This gentleman can give no explanation of the manner by which he produces two distinct sounds; it was by accident he discovered that he possessed so singular a faculty; it is different from ventriloquism, and he thinks cannot be obtained by imitation, or any artificial management of the organs of speech. [London paper.]
CURE FOR THE GOUT.
A new cure has been proposed for that disease in France; by an author of some celebrity, M. Cader de Vaux. The remedy is to drink 48 glasses of warm water in 12 hours, a glass at the end of every quarter of an hour, taking nothing else during the time. This remedy is in pretty general use in France, and has had great success. It is supposed that the profuse perspiration which this process in general occasions is the cause of the cure.
LET PITY MOVE.
Escaped from me on Friday last, my wife Betty, in a deranged state of mind, with a determination to travel and beg (as is supposed.) She is about thirty years of age, of middle size, had on when she went away a green baize wrapper, a mint coloured linen and woolen long apron, the strings made by braiding white thread, an old shawl coloured brown, a striped short blanket about her shoulders, a blue skirt, and square toed leather shoes. Any person that will give notice where she may be found, will be paid for their trouble by EBENEZER ROGERS, Washington, County of Berkshire, (Mass.) The several Printers of Newspapers in the United States, are requested to give this advertisement a publication, on the principles of humanity. E. R. Pittsfield, May 5, 1807.

OTEZ! OTEZ! OTEZ!
WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaiming on its virtues he becomes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united. "Instead, therefore, of judging liberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the results of their matured reflections."
DENNISON'S
Improved Jaundice Bitters; OR THE
GRAND ANTIBILOUS CORRECTIVE. The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, coiffiveness, dullness and apprehension, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowness is by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinged the urine, and the whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy.
They are particularly serviceable in habitual coiffiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; expel wind in the easiest manner, without immoderately heating or inflaming the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, listlessness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for seafaring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epicures and bon vivants who wish for a delicious and delicate preparative for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board.
** These Bitters are sold by the sole agent, at No. 48, Newbury-Street, corner of Winter-Street, Boston, N. England, who has authorized some person as Vender in all the principal towns in the New-England States,—viz.—Mr. CHARLES PEIRCE, for Portsmouth, and Mr. JOSIAH GILMAN, for York, by whom the above may be had Wholesale and Retail.
