State of New-Hampshire.
In the Year of our Lord, one Thousand Eight Hundred and Six.
AN ACT
In addition to, and amendment of an Act entitled "an Act for mending & repairing Highways in this State. WHEREAS the first clause in the fifth section of said Act is found to be insufficient for the purposes thereby intended; which clause is in the following words, viz. "And whereas many persons within this State make a practice of unloading any Wagon down in the Street or Highways, masts, spars, mill logs, boards, plank, timber and other lumber, firewood, and rocks for building, to the great incumbrance of said Streets and Highways, so as to render them almost or altogether impassable: for prevention whereof, Be it enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That in any of the causes aforesaid, the Surveyor of the District, where any such incumbrance shall be, shall make complaint in writing to some Justice of the Peace for the County, dwelling in the same town, or in one of the next adjacent towns, to the place where the offence is committed; which Justice, upon his own view of such incumbrance, shall and may, by warrant under his hand and seal, directed to such Surveyor, cause the same immediately to be removed, so far as the said Justice may judge necessary for the public good; and may and shall therein order so much thereof to be sold by such Surveyor, as shall be adjudged by said Justice necessary to pay the legal cost, which said Justice shall tax, and three times the price of the labor of removing the same; which labour shall also be estimated by said Justice." But, in case the said articles of incumbrance should be of little or no value, and should not sell for a sum sufficient to pay and discharge the sum adjudged by the said Justice for the price of the labour, and the cost taxed as aforesaid, no provision is made in said Act for the recovery of the same.
Therefore, BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That, in all cases when the said articles of incumbrance, removed by any Surveyor as aforesaid, shall not sell for a sum sufficient to pay and discharge the cost taxed, and three times the price of the labour of removing the same, eliminated by the Justice as aforesaid, the said Surveyor shall be entitled to recover the same, or such part thereof as shall remain unpaid after the sale of such articles, of any person or persons who shall be incumber said Highways, by action or plea of trespass in any Court in the County where the offence shall be committed, competent and proper to try the same. And in like manner all other articles of incumbrance not before enumerated may be removed from the Highways in this State— And all persons, who shall incumber said Highways with such other articles, shall be liable to be prosecuted in the same manner as is herein before directed for offenders, who incumber said Highways with any of the articles enumerated as aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of such Surveyor to give reasonable notice to any person leaving any incumbrance in the Highway as aforesaid, to remove the same; and in case such person shall refuse or neglect to do so, the Surveyor shall then proceed to remove the same as heretofore directed in this Act, and shall follow the same rules and regulations in making sale of any such incumbrance, as Collectors of taxes are directed to do in advertising and making sale of personal estate. Approved June 20th, 1806.
AN ACT
To repeal the last section of an Act, entitled "An Act making compensation to Grand and Petit Jurors."
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That from and after passing this act, the last section of said act, making an addition of the sum of twenty five cents, to be paid for the entry of every action made at the Superior Court of Judicature, and the several Courts of Common Pleas within this State, to be paid by the several Clerks of said Courts into the County Treasury for the use of said County, be, and the same is hereby repealed. Approved June 19th, 1806.

INDEPENDENCE.
FROM THE EASTERN ARGUS.
EXTRACT FROM AN ORATION, Pronounced at Paris, (Maine,) July 4. BY MR. N. HOWE.
"A CONVENTION of the States met at Philadelphia, in 1787, and formed and submitted to the people our present happy and glorious Constitution; which was finally, after much agitation of the public mind, ratified with some amendments annexed by all the States. We will not undertake to say that this constitution is perfect and free from every defect. But we may with propriety say, that it is the most perfect, equal, just, and glorious social compact ever formed by a great people, widely extended over a country, diversified with local interests and local prejudices. Under the different administrations of this Government, notwithstanding the dark clouds which have sometimes lowered in our political horizon, we have progressed in population, wealth and improvements beyond all former example of nations. And although we sincerely believe that nineteen twentieths of all parties in the U. S. are firmly attached to our Republican institutions & equal laws, yet we have too much reason to believe, that there is formed among us a body of men, in council knowing, in wealth powerful, and in talents and influence respectable, whose object is to transform this happy Republic into a great consolidated Empire; the national character of which, could neither be peace, personal independence, nor domestic felicity; but war, foreign commerce and national glory. And if this grand object cannot be obtained, either by artifice, fraud or force, they wish to dissever the bond of union, between the North and South; from hence arises the hue and cry about Southern influence, negro votes, and negro President; and hence the peaceable acquisition of Louisiana is tortured into tribute to France; and from hence too, arises the most unmanly and scandalous opposition to the most reasonable and equitable measures of our General Government. If then, such men exist among us, let us enquire further by what "fruit we may know them." No rational man will deny, that the way to maintain peace and liberty, is to moderate ambition, to depress envy, to retrench needless expenditures, and to remove complaints of wrongs as much as possible by amicable compromise, and negotiation. On the other hand, the way to national glory, and a great name among the kings of the earth, leads through foreign commerce, and consequent wars, at the expense of domestic happiness and personal independence. A nation devoted to foreign commerce must support an extensive navy. This cannot be done in a free state. Look at the nations most distinguished for national pride, national independence and foreign commerce, and say, Americans, are you willing to exchange the peaceable walks of husbandry and liberty for the courtly baubles acquired by foreign commerce, to barter your liberty for that state of vassalage, which exposes you daily to be dragged at will on board a man of war, to be forced into the bosom of your families, and doomed to wear out a miserable existence, in fleets and armies. If the above principles are correct, when we observe men incessantly advocating war-measures, the necessity of extensive naval and land armaments in time of peace, forever toasting energy in government, and extensive executive patronage, especially when they are laid in proclaiming, that morality and religion cannot be sustained without the aid of fleets and armies, and sedition and excise laws, we may rest assured, that they belong to this monarchical junta. In the cabinet of these Monarchists, originated the whole system of excise laws, the scheme for taxing the rays of light, if enjoyed in our houses, and the infamous stamp tax. These knowing ones rightly judging that if they could devise means gradually to reduce the body of the people to a state of poverty and dependence upon a few overgrown rich and powerful men, that the people here (as in other countries) would submit to any form of government they might wish to impose upon them. By these men an army of mercenaries was raised in this land of liberty a few years ago, to overthrow determined republicans. A sedition bill was enacted to close their mouths, and stop their printing presses, and Republicans were persecuted to imprisonment and banishment.
But thanks be to heaven these men were too rash and precipitate for their own interests, and their own differences in a measure upset their own plots. The late President Adams, their ostensible leader was not a man of the sword; he wished however, to persuade the people, that the model of the British Constitution was the most "stupendous fabric of human invention," that our American Nobles ought to
have a "hole" by themselves, as well as the nobles of Great Britain. But some of his counsellors were mighty men of war, fond of governing by dint of the sword: these were for "bold strokes" and "energetic measures." Those they could not flatter they meant to force; that army which had been raised under the hypocritical pretence of opposing Bonaparte , who was then in Egypt, and his fleet and transports cut off by Nelson . The people began to grow clamorous about this army; Mr. Adams wished to disband it and pacify the people; but the then commander, Gen. Hamilton , and the Secretary of State, Mr. Pickering , and many other monarchists of note opposed it. In consequence thereof, Mr. Adams removed the Secretaries of State & of war from office and disbanded the army—they were offended—and Gen. Hamilton wrote a pamphlet against Mr. Adams, in which he put a lower estimate on the talents and virtues of Mr. Adams than any democrat had done. The scales began to fall from federal eyes, especially in the middle States, when this pamphlet was read. The consequence was the election of Mr. JEFFERSON to the Presidency; a man from his youth obstinately opposed to every vile scheme of monarchy and oppression; the celebrated penner of our Declaration of Independence—the firm supporter of the rights of man. Mr. JEFFERSON and his friends have redressed many of our grievances, and brought Republican principles again into fashion and repute, notwithstanding the unceasing torrent of abuse, obloquy and ridicule of old Tories and apostate Whigs, which has been poured forth. We were told by false prophets before he was elected, that should he come into power he would destroy all order, good government and religion. We have from time to time been alarmed previous to elections, by rumors of "tub plots," and "ocean massacres," of "French fleets in the Chesapeake demanding money of our government," of "brigades landing in the Southern States to join the negroes and cut the throats of the whites." They have attempted to scandalize our Government and nation, by publishing to the world the base falsehood, that we are paying tribute to France, under a few of purchasing the Floridas. They have abused the benevolence and liberality of our President, by publishing for facts, the most obscene and filthy tales, which could be invented amongst the very dregs of Toryism; and they are now constantly endeavoring as far as is in their power to scandalize every man however humble his situation, who is a firm advocate for Republican principles. But we have reason to rejoice, that the men and places that have felt their tyranny, and known their power, "will know them no more forever;" they are overthrown, both horse and rider. But, says an honest objector, among these men are found tried Whigs of the revolution. We grant it. We say, however, that to be friendly to the independence of a nation, and to the personal independence of individuals, are different things, and may, or may not exist together. We say too, that there were three descriptions of Americans, who took parts in the revolution; two of which came under the name of Whigs; the first were friendly both to national and personal independence, these we shall term Republican Whigs. The second class were friendly to national independence, but opposed to that political equality which is the ground work of our happy Republic; these for distinctions sake, I shall term Monarchic Whigs. This class judged it necessary and politic to unite with the Republican Whigs to fan the flame of liberty as the most likely means by which to obtain national independence, thinking, when this grand object was obtained, they could still manage the multitude as they pleased. But unfortunately for their cause, they fanned "this wild fire," so much, that by the time our independence was acknowledged, this leaven of Democracy, had nearly "leavened the whole lump." It was easy to discern that if Great Britain had maintained her sway here, she would have supplied us with Governors, Generals, Judges, and Lords spiritual and temporal, of her own genuine stock, and our native would be nobles, who have been kept in the back ground, this they have as poor an appetite for as Democrats have for monarchy.
The third class of Americans are justly denominated Old Tories! A Judas Iscariot tribe! Traitors to their country! And a disgrace to the human character!! But, fellow-citizens, at present we are very happy in the benevolent and pacific disposition of our leading men. Peace if it can be had on honorable terms is ever to be cherished by a free people. War but in self defence, ought ever to be detested and avoided. In the most just and equitable war, even in our revolutionary war, consequences have resulted, which never can be reflected upon by a friend
to humanity without a tear. The "heaving bosom" must burn with just indignation to behold a swarm of speculators fattening upon the spoils of those brave men, who fought our battles, naked, barefoot and hungry, who for the salvation of our country, patiently endured the vicissitudes of heat and cold, fatigues and alarms. To see these men swindled out of their pay by the wealthy drone, and crafty hypocrite, who had culled from danger in the day of trial. I do not wish to foment prejudice, but could I speak coolly upon this subject, I should detest myself for a cold-hearted hater of the rights of man. You will perceive that I allude to the funding system, "that mystery of iniquity." I do not believe that it every man, who approved of that system, was actuated by corrupt motives, some good men (without doubt) were deceived with that measure. And if the Old Tory and British subject have enriched themselves upon the spoils of our Republican soldiers, it cannot now be helped; but it ought not to be forgotten."
FOREIGN ARTICLES.
A London paper of June 2 says, "Mr. Secretary Fox, in the course of his admirable speech on Saturday morning, took an opportunity of throwing out his ideas respecting that kind of peace which he was anxious to obtain. He expressly stated, that "he wished for such a peace as could be made on reasonable terms; but then the character of the peace he wished for was, that it should preserve our connections with the continent of Europe, and not give up any thing which the point of honor forbade us to give up." These spirited sentiments were cheered from all sides of the house.
On the subject of invasion the right honorable Secretary observed, "that he differed much from some of his friends on that subject. He by no means dreaded invasion. He thought we had, in the first place, a powerful security in the superiority of our navy; and in the second place, in the spirit of the nation, which he was convinced was abundantly sufficient to triumph ultimately over any army that could invade this country."
In the British House of Commons, on the 3d ult.
Mr. Secretary Fox rose to give notice, that he should on Tuesday next bring forward a resolution which would have the effect of showing that his majesty's ministers were not unmindful of the pledges they had given, respecting the final abolition of the slave trade. He conceived it would be too late in the present session to propose any bill upon the subject; but as it was one of those important subjects upon which his majesty's present ministers had pledged their opinions to the house, he thought it high time to evince their determination of carrying those opinions into effect.
The Prefect of Venice has ordered to fail of the line, 6 of which of 90 guns, to be laid on the stocks in the arsenals of his prefecture; the keel of the Charlemagne was laid on the 7th of March, being the anniversary of the first coalition of Austria, Prussia, the German empire, England, Holland, Spain, Portugal, the two Sicilies, the Papal states and the king of Sardinia, against France, which was declared in 1793, on this date—there was an extra carnival and great rejoicings.
Lord Melville's trial was not finished at the date of our last advices. The discussions in the house of lords on the evidence adduced against his lordship, are not expected to occupy more than two days. In this case, the verdict may be expected on the 14th June.
The London Traveller, of the 10th June, contains the following articles:—"American papers to the 13th ult. have reached us; the intelligence contained in them is of great consequence. The unhappy affair which happened off Sandy Hook has we regret to say, led to the loss of a very decisive and harsh character upon the part of the executive government. The President of the United States has published a proclamation, "commanding all the citizens of the United States to arrest captain Whitby, of the Leander, whenever he may be found: requiring the ships of the British Squadron to depart from the ports and waters of the United States; and, in case of this requisition not being complied with, prohibiting all pilots from assisting in navigating them, and all individuals from furnishing them with provisions or other supplies; and interdicting, for ever, the entrance of captain Whitby, of the Leander, capt. Nairne, of the Cambrian, and capt. Simpson, of the Driver, into any American haven, whatever ships they may in future command."
The death of Pierce, the American seaman, is not the only grievance set forth in the proclamation. The jurisdic-
tion of the United States is said to have been violated; the unlawful interruptions and vexations committed on their trade are also included in the list of complaints. The former is certainly an accusation of a very serious nature. Capt. Whitby, if not acting under superior orders, has taken a dreadful responsibility upon himself; it would be unfair to give any opinion upon his conduct until this point is decided. We regret exceedingly that he has returned to resume his station off New-York. It is impossible that he can remain there, without either renewing those practices which have given so much offence to the Americans, or being subject to insults and contumelious behaviour from every trader that passes under the bows of the Leander, in case he should decline the right of visit and search.
LONDON June 6.—A cartel arrived from France on Wednesday, in which the earls of Elgin and Yarmouth, captain Gower of the navy, two sons of the late Sir Ralph Abercrombie, and some other persons of consideration, came over on their parole, having obtained permission to that effect from the French government, in consequence of the extention of similar indulgence to some of the French prisoners of war in this country. A report prevailed, that the French government had availed itself of this opportunity to transmit fresh overtures for a pacific negotiation, a conjecture not entitled in our opinion, to the smallest degree of credit.
PARIS, MAY 30. The French and Russians.—Geo. Motor, Commandant of the French troops in Dalmatia, has given an account to the Viceroy of Italy, that, on the 29th of April, a Russian ship of the line, and several brigs, commanded by Admiral Baillie, presented themselves in the road of the island of Lesina, where Capt. Guyard, of the 23d regiment of the line, commanded, with a demi-battalion of that corps. On the 29th and 30th the enemy began to fire from all his vessels, and effected a debarkation under a shower of bullets, and a great number of armed sloops. Capt. Guyard, who had time to take his measures, suffered the Russians to advance as far as the Greek Church of St. Veneranda, where he was intrenched. Then at the head of his troops, he charged the Russians with the bayonet, (they were 300 and the French only 500 in number,) overpowered them, and drove them in the course of continued action, all the way to the sea, killing 45 men, wounding 60, and making 176 prisoners, including 1 captain, 2 lieutenants, and 3 ensigns. M. Duchesne, lieut. of Grenadiers, Capt. Hudoux, the grenadier Charreau, and Poissand, sergeant of the Voltigeurs, observing that it was the intention of the enemy to re-embark, threw themselves in to a Russian boat, at the moment the enemy entered it, and made themselves masters both of the vessel and the men.
The Russians remained in the Road of Lesina two days after the affair. In the mean time, several pieces of cannon had arrived with a convoy from Venice; for the Islands had been distanced by the Austrians. We then fired upon the enemy, and on the 7th of May the Russians weighed anchor, and disappeared. During these proceedings a Russian frigate, with some troops, appeared before the Isle of Bra. The inhabitants founded an alarm, took arms, and joined the French garrison; the Russians did not dare to disembark.

We learn from a person of correct information lately arrived from Mexico, that the commander in that country has published an order of his catholic majesty, of the date of the 10th February last, the purport of which is, "That all disputes which existed between H. C. M. and the United States of America, are at an end, it is therefore ordered to our different commanders of the different frontier posts, near those of the United States, to retire with their troops to the interior posts, and hold an amicable intercourse with the officers of the United States."
AUGUSTA, (Geo.) July 12. On Saturday, the 5th inst. a Negro Man, belonging to Mr. M'Corcle, was executed in Lincoln county, for the murder of his mistress—he was tried on the 3d inst. when it appeared in evidence, that he had been rebuked on Tuesday morning, by his mistress, for beating his wife—after which he went to ploughing, and about two hours afterwards returned to the house with a club, went into the kitchen and knocked his wife into the fire, and was proceeding to further acts of violence, when Mrs. M'Corcle went into the kitchen to save the negro woman, if possible, from further harm; when the fellow immediately knocked her down and beat her till she was dead; he then ran off, but returning in the evening, for the purpose of procuring a horse, the more effectually to ensure his escape; he was then discovered and apprehended. He was sentenced to be burnt at the stake, which sentence was executed on Saturday last, in the presence of numerous spectators, who had assembled to behold the awful and shocking spectacle. He confessed the murder, and prayed with much earnestness for divine forgiveness, until the violence of the flames destroyed the power of utterance.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) July 16. Gunboat No. 1, Lieutenant Izard, arrived yesterday morning, in forty days from Gibraltar.—Having completely adjusted our differences with all the Barbary powers, the United States army vessels have been ordered to quit their station in the Mediterranean and return to America. The following Squadron failed from Gibraltar on the 4th of June, for the U. States: Frigate Essex, Commodore Rogers. Brig Vixen, Captain Cox. Bomb-ketch Spitfire, Lieutenant Hunt. Bomb-ketch Vengeance, Lieutenant Smith. Cutter Hornet, Lieutenant Crane. Gunboat No. 1, Lieutenant Izard. No. 2, Lieutenant M'Grath. No. 4, Lieutenant Hamley. No. 5, Lieutenant Harrison. No. 6, Lieutenant Laurence. No. 8, Lieutenant Haradan. No. 9, Lieutenant Elbert. No. 10, Lieutenant Sinclair.
Commodore Rogers parted company the night after sailing, leaving the Squadron under charge of Capt. Cox, of the Vixen. Lieut. Izard lost sight of the fleet on the 7th of June, lat. 34 48, long. 15. All the gunboats are ordered for this port. The brigs argus, L. Hall; and Syren, Lt. Smith, failed from Gibraltar, for Norfolk, on the 2d June. The frigate Constitution, Capt. Cambell, was left at Gibraltar, where she was to remain for some time. The Nautilus, Lt. Evans, was going in when the Squadron failed. The enterprize Schooner, Lieut. Porter, had been sent to Tripoli with dispatches. The brig Hornet, Capt. Dent, arrived at Gibraltar on the 1st June, from L'Orient; and failed on the 3d for Malaga.
JULY 17. Gun Boats No. 8. Lt. Haradan and No. 6, Lt. Laurence, arrived at this port from the Mediterranean.
NEW YORK, JULY 25. Important Trial.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 23. The trial of Col Smith continued.—Mrs. Hoffman finished his brilliant efforts in behalf of the Defendant, at half past three o'clock—having spoken nearly three hours.—The jury then retired for refreshment; and, in a few minutes, returned to their seats. Mr. Emmet then followed Mr. Hoffman in a speech of nearly two hours. He necessarily pursued the general outlines, adopted by his associates, who had preceded him.
THURSDAY, JULY 24. The Court met at 10 o'clock. Present Judge Talmadge. Mr. Harrison, in an address of two hours, closed the argument on the part of the defendant. He pursued the arrangement of his associate counsel, and discussed the various points with the learning and ability which he always exhibits on similar occasions. The District Attorney rose at twelve o'clock, in behalf of the prosecution; and was followed by Mr. Edwards on the same side. Judge Talmadge then summed up the evidence. The jury retired, at near 5 o'clock, and at 7, returned with a verdict of—NOT GUILTY.
Another Important Trial.
FRIDAY, JULY 25. The trial of Mr. Samuel G. Ogden, indicted for an offence similar to that of Col. Smith came on before the Circuit Court.—Present Judge Talmadge. The court proceeded to impanel the jury in the cause of the United States against Samuel G. Ogden.
Joseph Strong, and Benjamin Butler, were severally called and sworn. John Fellows, being the next called, was proceeding to take the oath, when Mr. Hoffman, for the defendant, objected to him, on the ground that Mr. Fellows, after he had been summoned on the jury, had expressed a decided opinion unfavorable to Mr. Ogden. Mr. Hoffman added, that he was prepared to prove the fact. A third jurymen, William Coit, was then called and sworn; and these three constituted a court to try the competence of Mr. Fellows as a jurymen in this cause.
Mr. Ludlow, being sworn, deposed, that J. Fellows, after he was summoned as a jurymen, declared that he should wish that Col. Smith, were it not for his insolent memorial to Congress, might be acquitted; but as to Mr. Ogden, it was no matter how much he suffered, or words to this amount. After a few remarks from the council and the bench, the triers retired, and in a few minutes returned the verdict—that John Fellows was not an impartial jurymen in this cause.
James M'Connell, David A. Cummings, James Palmer, jun. John Bacheller, Ezra Weeks, John P. Grosvenor, John M'Kea, William Duffan, and Andrew S. Netwood, were called and sworn.
Mr. Colden for the defendant, moved for attachments against Mr. Madison, Mrs. Thornton, Mr. Wagner, and Mr. Robert Smith, absent witnesses. The court decided against the motion.
The attorney general then commenced the examination of witnesses, on the part of the prosecution. On Saturday evening at four o'clock, the jury after being out of court about 25 minutes, returned a verdict—NOT GUILTY.
NORWICH, (Con.) July 9. THE SEASON.—The uncommon drought in this place and its vicinity, is more severe than has been experienced for forty years past. There has been little or no rain since the latter part of February. English grain, though light, will come in better than could be expected under such circumstances; but the crop of grass is entirely cut off, owing to the dryness of the season. Our pastures are so burnt up, that the herbage is scarcely sufficient to keep alive the cattle. The spirit and hopes of the husbandman have failed—Our gardens have perished, and an universal horror and gloom spread over the face of nature. How long this truly melancholy scene will last, God only knows. We learn however with pleasure, that this pinching drought is not very extensive.

Portsmouth, TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1806.  FRENCH W. I. SQUADRON. The French squadron from Martinico under Admiral Willaumez (called Jerome Bonaparte's Squadron) was spoken on Friday last, in lat. 32° 30' long. 72° 20', then steering W. N. W. [From the situation and course of this squadron, it is probably, bound into the Chesapeake.] This squadron sailed from Martinico, as we have before stated, the beginning of July. It touched at Montserrat, where it found and captured four heavy-laden ships; but did not molest the inhabitants;—from thence with their prizes, they made their appearance off Antigua, and remained off there a few hours; then put into St. Martins. In about 48 hours after the French passed Antigua, Admiral Cochrane's squadron appeared off that island, learnt the course of the French, and proceeded immediately after them.
BRITISH W. I. SQUADRON. We learn, by Capt. Newcomb, arrived at Philadelphia, from St. Thomas, that the English squadron, under Rear-Admiral Cochrane, had put into Tortola, without having had an action with the French.  ANOTHER SQUADRON. Capt. Evans, arrived at New-York, from Antigua, was brought to, about the 22d July, in lat. 28° 30' long. 67° by a British squadron, commanded by Vice-Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, consisting of six ships of the line, a frigate, and two brigs, steering to the northward, in pursuit of the French squadron. (Boston Centinel.)  It is common among nations, for one power having differences to settle with another, to request the mediation of a third; and it is not uncommon in such cases, for a third power, whose relations are favorable for that purpose, to offer her mediation. But a certain party among us pretend that the good offices of France ought not be thus employed in our negotiations with Spain, notwithstanding our principal differences with the Spanish government are connected with our relations to that of France. (Pittsfield (Mass.) Sun.)
The result of our negotiations with Spain is problematical, partly on account of the natural adherence of Spain to her own selfish interest; but more, perhaps, from the artificial prejudices and obstacles produced by design. Never probably, were more indefatigable efforts used, on any occasion, than there have been to defeat the object of our present negotiation. The interested policy of Great-Britain and all her partisans, the resentment of the discarded Spanish Minister, and the passions of a certain party among ourselves, have been, and still are, in full operation. God grant their consequences may not be a rupture with Spain and her ally France, and an alliance of co-operation with Great-Britain. (Ibid.)
Our negotiations with Great-Britain may terminate in a treaty of accommodation; but a treaty, like any other bargain must have two sides. We cannot expect to gain all, and yield nothing. It will not, it cannot, therefore, be just what we could wish. There is a real clashing of interests between the two nations, especially on commercial subjects; and neither nation can enjoy all its claims. There must be collisions, terminating in war, or mutual sacrifices to maintain peace. (Ibid.)
MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION. Accounts from Trinidad, mention the arrival of Miranda there; and that he was about to renew his attack on the Carraccas.  We have a report from the Carraccas, that eight of the persons taken in Miranda's ships died in prison; that all the officers (fifteen) had been sentenced to be hung, and that the privates were released. (Best. paper.)
Slave Trade. —A Charleston editor, complaining of the paragraphs in the northern papers against the South Carolinians for their concern in the Slave Trade—says, "It is a fact known to every citizen in Charleston, that where there is one ship belonging to that port, employed in the trade, there is three vessels from the Northern States."
A Rattle Snake was killed a few days since, says the Lycoming Gazette, in the barn of Fulkerd Schring, on Loyalsock, containing in its body, seven rats, two of which were full grown, and the other five half grown.
The Hillsborough (N. H.) Bank, is in operation—Hon. Samuel Bell, C. H. Atherton, David Everett, Frederick French and Daniel Prior, Esqrs. are appointed Directors to manage the concerns of the institution.
ASYLUM. The anniversary Lecture for the benefit of the Portsmouth Female Asylum, will be delivered next Sabbath afternoon in Dr. Buckminster's meeting-house, by the Rev'd Mr. APPLETON, of Hampton. The exercises will commence at 5 o'clock. Mary E. Symmes, Sec'y. August 5, 1806.
REPUBLICAN TICKET for Representatives to Congress— Clement Storer, Portsmouth, Jedediah K. Smith, Amherst, Daniel M. Durell, Dover, Francis Gardner, Walpole, Peter Carlton, Landaff.
From a Charleston (S.C.) paper. Communication.—Having seen in the City Gazette two or three years ago an account of the beneficial effects of cold water applied to, or poured on persons struck with lightning, and as there may be many who have not seen it or do not retain it in memory, and as this is a season of the year in which accidents from lightning frequently occur, would thank you to insert the following case, wherein I have made a trial of it, and have the pleasure to vouch for its efficacy.  On the 14th of June, a son of Mr. John Keigler, in this neighborhood about 8 years of age, was struck on a wheat field, and life suspended for nearly half an hour it being near a creek, his father sent for some water and poured it on his head, but did not continue long enough to be benefited from it; and conceiving him to be dead, proceeded to take him home, when, fortunately, they were overtaken by a shower of rain which wet them thro' and to his great comfort and astonishment found his son begin to breathe and move one of his arms, and in succession others of his extremities.—When he arrived at the house, a boy was dispatched for me; I arrived about 4 o'clock, an hour after the accident. The child was then in a comatose situation, but could move his arms and legs. I immediately bled him, and applied thick folded cloths, wet with vinegar and water to his head and spine, in which places he appeared to be most injured; this soon relieved the inflammatory appearance of the skin and gave considerable strength. In about an hour after, a considerable degree of fever supervened, which I found to yield to a more liberal use of water and vinegar; about 12 at night he recovered his understanding and power of speech.—The next day he was able to be about and complained of nothing but a soreness and some degree of debility, and from that time he has continued in good health.  I am your friend and humble serv't. F. BRYAN. Lexington district, June 27, 1806.
Arrived here on Wednesday last, passenger in the brig Montezuma, Capt. TITUS SALTER of the brig Maria Jane, which belonged to Capt. John Satter of this town. On his passage from Amsterdam to the Isle of May, Capt. Satter was cast away on the coast of Barbary in the night of the 27th of May. The next morning the captain and crew gained the shore and were employed during the day in getting provisions, &c. ashore from the vessel, which was not bilged. The next day a number of Moors (about 15) appeared on the beach, and proceeded immediately to plundering. After robbing Capt. S. of all his provisions, and 800 Dollars in specie, and his seamen of their clothing, these savages used the utmost violence to them. Having resisted some time and sustained considerable injury in their persons, Capt. S. and his men escaped in the long boat in the evening, and put to sea in great danger from the breakers. The number in the boat was nine, and their whole stock of provisions was four or five pounds of bread, and about three gallons of water for a voyage they knew not of what length.  They steered along the coast for Senegal, suffering extremely with hunger and thirst without any thing material happening till the ninth day, when the first mate, Mr. Lang, who had been exhausted with fatigue, died of hunger. His thirst was so keen he could not resist it, and notwithstanding Capt. S. entreated him to forbear, he frequently drank Salt water. The night following the wind blew fresh on shore—Capt. S. was obliged to put the boat before it, and continued safe till he arrived near the shore; when the boat was upset, and every soul committed to the mercy of the waves. They however regained and righted the boat and were again washed out of her. The second mate, Mr. John Nud and one seaman were drowned—Capt. S. and six seamen got safe ashore, within a few miles of Senegal, where they were hospitably treated and found relief. (Oracle.)

DIED. In Kingsthorp, (Eng.) Mr. T. LLOYD, ad lieu. of the Dreadnought man of war: While on a party of pleasure with some brother officers, in the height of good humor he requested his companions to go with him to the church-yard, and see a spot where he should like to have his body interred. They went; and though in apparent good health at the time, he was taken with a complaint in the bowels, died a few hours after, and was interred in the spot he had pointed out, agreeable to his desire.

In Lexington, (Ky.) Mr. JOHN FALLING, killed in an extraordinary duel with Mr. James Vann, his brother in law:—In consequence of a dispute they agreed to meet half way between their own houses; they met with their seconds, all armed with muskets and pistols: When they appeared in sight of each other, they galloped up to near that their horses heads were touching, when they fired nearly at the same instant: The contents of Vann's musket, thirty rifle bullets, entered the breast of Falling; and he fell dead from his horse.—Vann's coat sleeve was burnt with the powder of Falling's musket.
In Baltimore, from the 18th to the 20th inst. 8 adults, and 30 children; 22 of cholera infantum.—Near Baltimore, WILLIAM, a labouring man: He was killed by the mephitic air of a well, into which he had descended to rescue a fellow-labourer, whose life he succeeded in preserving.
In Stratham, on the 27th instant, of a lingering illness, Mrs. NANCY WEEKS, wife of Lieut. Walter Weeks, in the 41st year of her age. She was an affectionate wife and a tender indulgent parent. She endured her last sickness with christian fortitude—was willing to resign her body to the dust and her soul to God her Redeemer, in a happy assurance of a glorious immortality.
Her remains were interred on Tuesday following, in the presence of a large number of mourning relatives and friends. A pathetic and well adapted discourse was delivered on the occasion by the Rev'd JAMES MILTIMORE, from the 38th Psalm, 18th verse—(by desire of the bereaved husband) Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
They should we tremble to convey, Their bodies to the tomb: There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And left a long perfume.
In Greenland, Mrs. HANNAH SEAWARD, wife of the late Capt. John Seaward, of this town, and daughter of George Bracket, Esq. of Greenland.

Miscellaneous Repository.  ODE TO SENSIBILITY. GIVE me the kindling eye, from whence I learn within what tumults swell— Give me the lip's mute eloquence, Which more than tongue shall ever tell. Too coy to breathe the softest vows, Too warm to let her will be die; Though modest, yet what love allows She gives the look—perhaps the sigh. Then come thou sympathising power, Dear Sensibility descend! And still, with youth's delicious hour, Thy magic and thy sweetness blend.
From the Political Observatory. MESSRS. PRINTERS.
As I sit by my window, the other day, viewing, with delight, the beautiful variety of surrounding objects; I beheld Affection, at a distance, walking towards me.—His gait was affected. Every movement of his limbs and his body bespoke affection and self conceit. My curiosity was excited. I fixed my eyes upon him, and surveyed with wonder, this unpleasing phenomenon in human nature. It really seemed that he shot the earth to mean to be marked with his honorable foot-steps. As he drew nigher, I could more plainly discover his uncommon airs of affection. What a pity it is said I to myself, that this man was not born a real ape, that he might not thus degrade the order of beings with which he claims an affinity. If nature ever swerved from her fixed laws, this man must certainly have been one of the effects of that deviation.
As he passed by, I fancied him to be uttering the following soliloquy. "What a grand appearance I make! I dare say the person who beholds me from the window has an exalted opinion of me. I thank God that I was born with no noble a mind. A principle, implanted within, bids me seek reverence and respect from man; and, by an artful display of superior accomplishments, to make him feel his inferiority.—To this end, I copy with assiduous attention, the lofty airs of the honorable and high bred; and I have a fair prospect of its being greatly beneficial to me. Already, I fancy there is more than ordinary respect paid to me: already I begin to look with contempt on the vulgar herd, and claim a rank with some of the most respectable characters.—Some ignorant, envious fellows pretend to call this an affected superiority; but, notwithstanding, I shall, undoubtedly, be something yet." Yes, yes, said I, you will indeed be something; but it can only be what you are now to a greater degree—an object of pity to your friends (if you should be so fortunate as to have any,) and a laughing-stock to the world.
I turned my eyes from him with disgust; but could not erase the impression he had made upon my mind. It appeared strange that any person should make such unwearied exertions to render himself ridiculous.—In short, I pitied the person and despised his behaviour. Now, this self-conceit of his, is founded only in self-ignorance. Two grains of self-knowledge would destroy the whole,—"but alas! he has them not." "Two grains!" says the reader, "would that have any effect in curing so bad a disorder?" Yes.—Self-knowledge is the most efficacious remedy for pride, that ever was prescribed. It never fails of a complete cure. It restores to man the mild and agreeable temperature of candor and humility. It adds energy to all the virtuous parts of his moral constitution and subdues the vicious ones. It is not only a sure remedy, in the desperate case above mentioned; but, is also a sovereign antidote for many other pernicious disorders of the mind: and as it can do no one any harm, I would advise every person, who desires happiness, and wishes long life to his reputation, to take as large a portion of it every day as he can possibly obtain.—The business of acquiring it, may, perhaps, be rather irksome at first; but the advantages derived from it will more than compensate for the trouble—and a little practice will render the task a pleasure.
Perhaps it may be thought, by this time, that if the writer, himself, had attended a little more strictly to the prescription he has given, he would not have thus presumed to intrude on the public. If so, I answer—the charge may be true. I dare not deny it; but comfort myself with a hope, that the fault of self-ignorance, which is so common in the world will be overlooked by the candid.
ANECDOES. Dr. Radcliff.—The celebrated Radcliff, in his early days, and before his practice enabled him to keep a horse, was met by a rival physician who was extremely well mounted, and who was very proud of his steed. A friend of Radcliff who met at the same instant, pointing to the horse observed, "Is not that a very good horse, doctor?" "Aye, aye," replied Radcliff sneeringly, he may pass for a tolerable horse-doctor."
