NOTICE is hereby given, That in conformity with the provisions of the act supplementary to the act, entitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States," books will be opened at the office of the commissioner of loans for New-Hampshire, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March, 1808, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for such parts of the old six per cent. deferred six per cent. and three per cent. stocks, as may, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the said commissioner of loans. Those proprietors of the old six per cent. and deferred stocks, who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof a new six per cent. stock, equal to the unredeemed amount of the stock surrendered, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, under a proviso however, that no reimbursement shall be made except for the whole amount of any such new certificate of stock, nor till after six months previous notice: and the proprietors of the three per cent. stock who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof, a six per cent. stock, equal to sixty-five per cent. of the amount of three per cent. surrendered, redeemable in the same manner as the new six per cent. abovementioned, but not reimbursable, however, without the assent of the holders, until after the whole of the new six per cent. (given in exchange for old six or deferred as abovementioned) as well as the whole of the eight per cent. stock of the United States, shall have been reimbursed. It is also provided that in every reimbursement which may take place, a preference will be given to those creditors who may notify their wish to be reimbursed; and that if the applications to that effect shall at any time either exceed or fall short of the sum then applicable to that purpose, the priority of payment shall, so far as may be necessary, be determined by lot. The present stock-holders who reside in any part of Europe, and may assent to that modification, may, at their option, receive the interest accruing on the new stock, either in the United States as heretofore, or in London, or Amsterdam at par: in which last case, the interest will be paid there by the bankers of the United States, six months subsequent to the day on which the same would be payable in the United States, and subject to no variation; nor to any other deduction than a commission to the bankers, of one half per cent. on the interest thus paid.

VIRGINIA. RICHMOND, JUNE 10. The Pentecostal Camp-Meeting, held at Mount Horeb, near Lynchburgh, at Whitinsville, by the preachers & members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, began on Friday the 15th, and closed Thursday the 21st of May 1807. The preachers and people, as in the days of old, came from the North, South, East and West, the distance of 100 miles: The congregation on the Sabbath, adjudged to be 3000 people—40 preachers—32 tents—60 professed conversions, and 37 joined the church; and the work of sanctification visible among the professing christians, and many who had lost the comforts of religion, stirred up to a lively faith in Jesus Christ.—This meeting was attended with more than usual regularity and order; the Rules posted up, and read each day; the men and women directed to sit apart in the congregation; and a respectable and regular guard, appointed to reconnoitre the ground during each night to preserve decorum. So that it is the opinion, no meeting of its magnitude heretofore, exceeded for good order. Many of the preachers were able "Ministers of the New-Testament, workmen that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Clear, rational and spiritual in their investigations, and the word found place in the hearts of the people; sinners were stricken with conviction, and many were hopefully converted and sanctified.— "Hallelujah to the Lamb," "Who hath purchased our pardon," "We'll praise him again," "When we pass over Jordan."
At the winding up of the meeting, it was requested that at the sound of trumpet all who desired to be "on the Lords side," would fall into the ranks with us, in a solemn march round the tents, singing an hymn, suited to the occasion.—So we started at the Rev. Wm. P. Martin's tent called the Union Tent; the ministers in front, the white congregation second, and the colored people third; until we came to the stage, and then dismissed, with united hearts, and flowing eyes. We are under special obligations to our benevolent friend Col. Edmund Tate, who has deeded us, a large and permanent privilege, with excellent waters, woods and ways; within two miles of the town westwardly—"He that gives to the poor, lends to the Lord, and I will repay him again faith the Lord."
Persecution, rages in proportion to the revival—but says Christ—"Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and say all manner of evil of you falsely, for my sake; rejoice and be exceeding glad, for so persecuted they, the Prophets that were before you."—Mat. 5, 11 12. STITH MEAD, Manager.
A Yankee trick.
A short time ago a Yankee took up his residence at a public house in Philadelphia, kept by a credulous German. The morning following, while at breakfast, he told them, he had dreamt a curious dream, that there was a considerable sum of money buried on a certain spot on the other side of the river, Schuylkill, but at the same time said he could place no confidence in visions of that kind: The host said, "he had heard people say that if they dreamt of a sum of money, and offered again three dimes dere must latinity something be in it." The Yankee two successive mornings told his host he had dreamt the same dream over again. The superstitious German after repeated arguments at length prevailed upon the Yankee to accompany him; they accordingly prepared themselves, and hied to the place specified by the dreamer. They dug, and lo! they beheld two thousand dollars seemingly newly coined. It was agreed between them that the German should have 5 and the Yankee fifteen hundred. The latter told the former, as he was going to travel, he wished for his own convenience that he could get his share in bank notes, telling him he had better keep the new dollars lying for a while. The unsuspecting German accordingly went and borrowed among his neighbours fifteen hundred dollars in notes, which the Yankee took and went off as soon as possible. Some time after the German presented part at one of the Philadelphia banks as a deposit, when, to his utter astonishment, they were all counterfeit! [U.S. Gaz.]
REMARK.—If falsehood, like truth, had but one face, only, we should be upon better terms; for we should then take the contrary to what the liar says, for certain truth.

BY THE MAILS.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT !!!
BRITISH OUTRAGE.
We give the public the particulars of the following outrage on the American flag, under the influence of feelings, which, we are certain, are in unison with those entertained universally by our fellow citizens; feelings which cannot, which ought not to be suppressed. We know not, indeed, that this savage outrage has a precedent in naval annals.
On Monday, June 22, the U. States frigate Chesapeake, of 38 guns, left the Capes, where there lay at anchor a British squadron consisting of three two deckers and one frigate of 38 guns. As she passed this squadron, without molestation, one of the two deckers, the Leopard, put off, and went to sea before the Chesapeake. When the latter came up with the Leopard, at the distance of about three leagues from the squadron, her commander, captain Humphries, hailed the Chesapeake, and said he had a dispatch to deliver from the British commander in chief (meaning admiral Berkeley) of the American station. Commodore Barron, supposing it was a dispatch from Europe, hove to, when captain Humphries sent on board of her, a letter covering an order of admiral Berkeley, to take from the Chesapeake three men, alleged to be deserters from the Melampus frigate, and designating them by name. Commodore Barron replied by letter that no such men, as named in admiral Berkeley's order, were on board, and added that his crew could not be mustered for examination by any other officers than his own. This answer was couched in terms of politeness. It was no sooner received than a broadside was discharged from the Leopard. The crew of the Chesapeake were at this time not at quarters, considering the Leopard a friend, and commodore Barron not contemplating the possibility of danger so immediately after leaving the Capes; no other attempt was therefore made to fight her, than the discharge of a few straggling guns, while the Leopard repeated three or four more broadsides; when the Chesapeake struck her colors, after having three men killed and eighteen wounded.
A boat was then put off from the Leopard with an officer who demanded four men. Commodore Barron said he considered the Chesapeake as a prize to the Leopard;—the captain of which vessel said, no—that his orders were to take out the men, which, having executed, he had nothing further to do with her. Thus dismissed, she returned to Hampton Roads, where she now lies. She received in her hull twenty two round shot, her foremast and mainmast were destroyed, her mizen mast greatly injured, and her standing rigging and sails very much cut.
Of the wounded eight are considered dangerous, and two have lost an arm. Commodore Barron suffered a contusion, received from a splinter, which is not serious. No other officer is wounded, excepting midshipman Broom, and he but slightly.
Nothing evinces in more striking colors the insolence of captain Humphries, than his immediate return, after this outrage, to the Capes, where he now lies with the other ships of the squadron. [National Intelligencer.]
VIRGINIA. NORFOLK, June 25, 1807.
At a meeting of the citizens of the borough of Norfolk and town of Portsmouth, held at the town hall on Wednesday, 24th June, 1807. General Thomas Mathews unanimously called to the chair.
Samuel Mosely appointed secretary to the meeting.
The meeting after due consideration, came to the following resolutions:
Whereas the government of our country has constantly manifested an ardent inclination for the preservation of peace, and to secure that friendly disposition which might reasonably be expected from the justice of foreign nations (if such a sentiment as that of justice was to be found among them) and whereas, we as individuals, seriously deprecate the horrors of war, and view it as one of the greatest evils which can befall our country; but when we see our fellow citizens, forced by a tyrannical and arbitrary power to fight against their own country, and basely and insidiously murdered on our coasts, it becomes us at this awful crisis, to be prepared to meet the consequences which such conduct and such inclinations give reasonable cause to expect, to discipline ourselves and be in readiness to take up arms in defence of those sacred rights which our forefathers purchased with their blood; and until our government shall have been informed of the late glaring violation of our rights and our sovereignty, in the unwarranted and unprovoked attack upon the U. S. frigate Chesapeake, commanded by commodore Barron, within a few miles of our coast, by the British squadron, composed of the Bellona, commodore Douglas, the Triumph, captain Hardy, Leopard, captain Humphries, and the Melampus, captain Hawker, acting under the orders of Commodore Douglas, and the inhuman murder of our fellow citizens in the attempt of the Leopard to carry those orders into effect; Therefore,
Resolved unanimously, That all communications with the British ships of war, now within our waters and on our coasts, and with their Agents or Agents among us be discontinued, and that we will use our best exertions to prevent such intercourse, and that all persons guilty thereof shall be deemed infamous.
Resolved unanimously, That we will view with abhorrence any attempt at such communication, and deem any person or persons enemies to our country, who shall directly or indirectly hold such intercourse, or render any aid or assistance to the British ships of war by supplying them with provisions or necessaries of any kind whatever, until the decision of our Government be known.
Resolved unanimously, in order the better to effect the above purpose, That a committee be appointed to correspond with the inhabitants of the neighbouring counties, and those of the waters of the Elizabeth river and the sea coast, notifying the flagrant outrage that has been committed and the measures passed by us, and recommending similar measures to their consideration.
Resolved unanimously, That our fellow citizens the pilots of the Chesapeake bay and Hampton, whose patriotism we hold in the highest estimation, are requested by this meeting to discontinue entirely their professional services to all British ships of war.
Resolved unanimously, That we view this unprovoked, piratical, savage and affiant-like attack upon the Chesapeake, with that horror and detestation which should always attend a violation of the faith of nations and the laws of war; and we pledge our lives and property to co-operate with the government in any measures which they may adopt, whether of vengeance or retaliation.
Resolved unanimously, That the mayor of this Borough be requested to call upon the Lieut. col. commandant of the militia to hold in readiness, an armed force for the purpose of defence, and for carrying these resolutions into effect.
Resolved unanimously, That these resolutions be extended to all British ships of war which may hereafter anchor within our ports, till complete restitution be made to our government for this desperate outrage on the Chesapeake.
Resolved unanimously, That a subscription be opened and left in the possession of the chairman, to raise a fund to be applied to the relief of the wounded and the families of the killed on board the Chesapeake, under the direction of the Superintendent of the Hospital, the Mayor of the borough of Norfolk, and Richard Blow, Esq. of Portsmouth.
Resolved unanimously, That the Committee be requested to correspond with the inhabitants of the principal sea-ports, and endeavour as far as in their power to obtain their assent to these resolutions, so far as effectually to withhold all supplies to any British armed vessel on the coast of the United States, until ample justice is obtained by our Executive.
Resolved unanimously, That the superintendent of the hospital in the event of the death of any of the unfortunate mariners of the Chesapeake, now under his care, report the same to the committee, who shall from the funds subscribed defray the expenses of the funeral; and the committee are hereby instructed to invite their fellow-citizens to attend and make the necessary arrangements.
Resolved unanimously, That the collector be requested to furnish one of the revenue cutters to watch over and prevent any communication with any of his Britannic Majesty's ships, and that the commandant of the fort be requested to co-operate with this measure.
Resolved unanimously, That copies of the proceedings of this meeting be transmitted by the chairman to the president of the United States and the governor of Virginia, and that they be published in the newspapers of the borough.
Resolved unanimously, That the citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the vicinities, be requested to wear crape for ten days, as a testimonial of their respect for the memory of those persons on board the Chesapeake, who fell victims to British tyranny and premeditated assassination.
Resolved unanimously, That this meeting approves and deems the conduct of our fellow-citizens of Hampton in destroying the water casks belonging to the British frigate Melampus, highly laudable and praiseworthy.
Resolved unanimously, That Thomas Mathews, chairman, Thomas Newton, jr., Luke Wheeler, Theodore Armistead, Richard E. Lee, Moses Myers, William Fenwick, William Newsum, Thomas Blanchard Daniel Bedinger, Seth Foster, J. W. Murdough, Richard Blow, and Francis S. Taylor, be a committee to carry the foregoing resolutions into effect.
Resolved unanimously, That this meeting render thanks to Gen. Thomas Mathews, for his able discharge of the duties of the chair.
(Signed) THOMAS MATHEWS, Tch. SAML. MOSELEY, Secy.
* As soon as the account of the conduct of the Leopard was known at Hampton, the inhabitants immediately destroyed upwards of 200 hogheads of water which were on board a schooner ready to sail for the British men of War.

CORRESPONDENCE. British Consul's Office, Norfolk, June 25, 1807.
To Gen. Mathews, Chairman.
Sir,—As I do not perfectly understand how far the construction of the Resolutions adopted at the meeting held yesterday, as they respect the communication between myself and his Majesty's ships in the Chesapeake, may be supposed to extend. I beg leave to inquire of you, Sir, as the Chairman of the Committee appointed to carry those resolutions into effect, whether any or what restraint is thereby intended to be laid on my communication with the King's ships;—whether the schooners which have hitherto been used as advice boats, will be permitted to pass as heretofore, uninterrupted, and whether there will be any objection to myself, or any of my family, going backwards or forwards to the ships of war below, in such boats as may be allowed to carry my correspondence, or to our going by land to the Bay side, and embarking from thence and returning to the shore in the ship's boats. I have the honor to remain, with perfect respect, Sir, your most obedient humble servant. JOHN HAMILTON.
To Colonel JOHN HAMILTON, Consul for the State of Virginia.
Sir,—In answer to your letter of this date, I am directed by the Committee to say, that the sch's hitherto employed as advice boats in the service of his B. Majesty's ships cannot be permitted to pass and repass as heretofore. The Committee view the object of the Resolutions as intending to prevent supplies of every kind being afforded to these ships until the pleasure of our Government be known. The Committee can see no obstacle to you or any of your family communicating with the Officers of H. B. Majesty's ships in either of the modes you mention, confident that no attempt will be made to contravene the Resolution restricting supplies. The boats you may engage in this service will be permitted to pass without examination. I have the honor to be, with perfect respect, your most obedient servant. TH. MATHEWS, Chairman of the Committee.
Norfolk, June 26, 1807.
Extract of a letter from Hampton, dated June 26, 1807.
"We have late news from the British men of war by the Pilots that were discharged yesterday. They declare, that if their water and provisions do not come to them as usual they will lay three ships of war along side Hampton—send their barges ashore, and take them by force!—The Hamptonians are calling balls, and making cartridges, to bid them welcome."
George Hope, Esq. of Hampton, in a letter to the Committee of Correspondence, says, "The inhabitants of this place unanimously feel indignant at the outrage committed on the Chesapeake, and are concerting measures to prevent the landing of any boats from the ships; which it is probable they may attempt."
Last evening the Committee voted, "that the British officer who yesterday brought dispatches to Col. Hamilton, the English Consul, not having hoisted a flag before his approach to our harbour, was not afterwards entitled to be considered as coming under the protection of a flag of truce; and as such, he should not have been discharged; but should have been held in custody until the pleasure of the government was known."
Resolved, That it is our opinion, that any British officer coming to this place shall be considered as a prisoner, until the decision of government be known.
Resolved, That Messrs. Armistead and Newton be a Committee to ascertain the best means of establishing a telegraphic communication between the sea shore, and Norfolk."
Mr. Murdough informed the committee, that a number of young gentlemen had instructed him to offer their services for the erection of batteries for the defence of Norfolk and Portsmouth: The thanks of the committee were voted for the patriotic offer, and the young gentlemen informed, that the committee trusts the time is not distant when an opportunity will be offered for the display of their zeal.
The following letter, the original of which is lodged in the Collector's office, was handed us for publication:—To the Commander of the U.S. frigate Chesapeake.
"On board H. B. M. ship Bellona, Capt. Douglas, June 18, 1807."
"Sir,—We request that you will have the kindness to take us out of this ship, for we are very much against serving the British. It is a nation we have no hopes of getting clear of unless you befriend us. We have all American protections, but they will
not look at them; and moreover were all born and brought up in the United States of America; and as we are now in the waters of our own country, hope its laws will protect us."
"We were first taken on board the Melampus, and thence sent on board this ship. We are your humble servants,"
"John Heldridge, Wm. Rallerts, John Barnes, Jeremiah Holmes, John Hertiman, Stephen Findell, Conrad Smith, John Henry, Henry Leman, John Hayton, James Tarrell, Peter White, James Craig, George Beams, Emery Griffin, Charles Walhington, William Mers."
MARYLAND. BALTIMORE, JUNE 29.
A general meeting of the citizens of Baltimore is requested this day, for the purpose of adopting measures suitable to the crisis of affairs.
A letter from Washington, June 26th, states, "That the men demanded by the Leopard, were all native Americans, one of them born in Massachusetts, the other two in Maryland. An order has gone from the Navy Department, giving the command of the Chesapeake to Capt. Decatur.—Upon Commodore Barron there has been ordered a Court of Inquiry."
PENNSYLVANIA. PHILAD. JUNE 29.
Gen. Dearborn, Secretary at War, and Mr. Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury, left this city this morning, for Washington. They are both summoned to Washington, by the President. The Secretaries of State and Navy are at Washington.
Two Cabinet Councils have been held at Washington, on the state of affairs.—It is rumored, that Congress will be immediately convened.
A letter from Mr. Thompson, Chaplain of the Chesapeake frigate, says, "At the time of the attack of the Leopard, the Chesapeake had sixty men sick, on board, their hammocks being placed on the gun deck, it was impossible to get the guns clear. After the colours were struck, the Captain of the Leopard sent an officer on board, who, on being interrogated about the conduct of the Captain, said "he did it to save the effusion of blood."
MONTEVIDEO.
The following letter presents matter of some interest.
"The treasure is immense: some calculate 32 millions sterling. During the siege, they loaded a French frigate, and two gun-boats, with dollars, which they cowardly set fire to on the morning the town surrendered. About 20 deserters from the British camp, and 3 Americans, that had possession of one of the Spanish batteries, and would not surrender, are to be hanged, together with the whole of the crew of the Jane Shore Guineaman, that had mutinied and killed their officers."
"The country is in a state of nature, without cultivation, but still produces luxuriantly. A bullock will cost a dollar, and a horse about three or four rials. Wool and hides, tobacco, tea and chocolate, in heaps, lay out in the fields, perhaps walled about, in some places, with cow-horns and bones.—The city contains about 40,000 inhabitants, who are very swarthy in the face. The women dress loosely, and seem a little curious to gaze after strangers."
"There is a great demand for clerks; and a tradesman can easily make a fortune in a short time. The Aurora is arrived. Neither the Garland nor Mary is yet arrived. I saw 14 dollars paid for a quire of common writing paper, and 3s. 4d. for a glass to a watch."
"Another letter, after alluding to the desperate attack on the town, says, "The climate seems to agree very well with me; and, though the heat is very oppressive, the air has all the salubrity it is famed for."
WALPOLE, (N. H.) JUNE 26.
MILITARY.
Wednesday last being the day appointed by law for the annual spring training, the company of artillery in this town commanded by Capt. Bellows—the company of cavalry belonging to this battalion commanded by Capt. Boynton—the two companies of infantry in this town, commanded by Capt. Gardner and Hooper, met on the parade, west of the street, and performed the exercises and evolutions adapted to their respective equipments and the duties for which they were designed. Throughout the day, the soldiers discovered a degree of ardor and emulation, and a correct knowledge of military discipline, which reflected much honor upon them and upon the officers by whom they were commanded.
HAIL STORM.
On Saturday, the 20th inst. we were visited by a violent tornado accompanied by rain and hail. To the northeast of this place, whence the storm proceeded, the wind and hail did considerable damage. In Charleston and Langdon, many windows were broken and much damage done to the flax, grain and grass: six or seven acres of grain belonging to Mr. John French, of Langdon, was almost entirely consumed. The storm continued but few minutes, but during its continuance was violent almost beyond parallel. In Langdon and Charleston, the hail were, it is said, about half an inch in diameter.
SUGAR & COFFEE.
By the statement of the Secretary of the Treasury, it appears that sugar, tea, coffee and molasses to the following amounts, were in the year 1805 imported into the United States, and actually paid duties, viz. DOLS.
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Rows: Sugar, 68,046,165 pounds; Tea, 3,354,381 pounds; Coffee, 4,816,274 pounds; Molasses, 9,226,446 gallons.
Yielding duties amounting to 3,118,304. This statement enables us to estimate with tolerable correctness, the consumption of those articles in the United States, whose use is so intimately connected with comfortable living. It does not follow that the quantity imported in any given year must have been consumed in that year; but as the articles enumerated are in constant demand, and three out of the four subject to injury by being kept, we may safely compute the annual consumption as equal to the importation.
It will then follow, estimating our numbers at six millions, that each soul in the United States consumes per annum, about
Eleven pounds of sugar,
Near one pound of coffee,
About two thirds of a pound of tea,
And one gallon and a half of molasses.
Exclusive of the sugar and molasses made of domestic materials.
If we class individuals in families, each family will consume
Ninety pounds of sugar,
Six pounds of coffee,
Five pounds of tea, and
Twelve gallons of molasses.
Is there any other people on the face of the earth who live so well?
Of these articles two are already produced in great quantities among ourselves. Independently of the products of the maple tree, which of itself, properly cultivated, is perhaps capable of supplying our full demand, the sugar lands of Orleans, on a moderate computation, will, when under cultivation, produce at least sixty thousand hogheads; and such are the profits of this species of cultivation, that there is no doubt but that in a few years it will be greatly extended. No lands in America, yield so large a profit. A great capital, without any extraordinary trouble, reaps an annual profit of 25 per cent. on its capital. Sixty thousand hogheads are equal to sixty millions of pounds, which valued at ten cents a pound, amount to six millions. To this we are to add the value of the molasses.—The territory of Orleans then under good management, is nearly capable of supplying our full demand for this important necessaries of good living, and by this supply infuses an independence of foreign powers to the amount of seven millions, which make about one sixth of our whole annual imports. Let those who still clamor at the acquisition of Louisiana view us the evil that counteracts this benefit? [Nat. Intel.]
LAW CASE.
A decision, interesting to merchants and seafaring men, took place before the circuit court of the U. S. held at Philadelphia, in Oct. last. The case was as follows:
One Jackson entered as mate of a vessel on a voyage to Batavia and back to Philadelphia. He died at Batavia, and his wages were paid until the time of his decease. His executor, however, claimed full wages until the period of the vessel's return to Philadelphia. The district judge had decided in favor of the claim, from whose decision an appeal was made.
Judge Washington, after minutely investigating the affair, gave his opinion—"that the decree of the district court ought to be confirmed."—Pub. Ad.

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
On the 29th April, the king of Great Britain issued "a proclamation for dissolving the present parliament and declaring the calling of another." This event has occasioned an uncommon agitation of the public mind. The partisans of the late and of the present administration display a zeal proportioned to the interest they have at stake.
We submit an extract from a Liverpool paper of the 4th May, to show the manner in which elections are conducted in England:
"The following curious question has been submitted to the crown lawyers relative to elections.—If candidates present the electors with lottery tickets or shares, is this within the meaning of the treating act? Whatever may be the decision of the crown lawyers on the above important question, it seems clear, that presents made by candidates of lottery tickets or shares, to the wives or families of electors, does not constitute bribery; and this accounts for the great demand for tickets and shares at the present moment."
The following statistical note on the Ottoman Empire, is taken from a late European print.
Extent, 49,173 square miles. Population, 23,330,000 souls—viz.
1st. European Turkey, 11,968 square miles, and 11,020,000 inhabitants.
2d. Asiatic Turkey, 24,262 square miles, and 11,090,000 inhabitants.
3d. Egypt, 12,948 square miles, and 3,200,000 inhabitants.
Besides the Ottomans and Tartars proper, there are to be found in the European part a mixture of Greeks, Eclavonians, Armenians, Valaches, Arnauts, Jews, Bohemians, and Franks. The Ottoman and the Tartar are the only ones who observe the laws of the Alcoran. Among the Christian sects, the Greeks, (who have here a patriarch, 20 metropolites, 18 archbishops, and 130 bishops) with the Armenians, are the most numerous.—The form of government is Asiatic despotism. The present Sultan, Selim III. has filled the throne since 1789. Land force, in 1804, 266,454 men, with 60,000 irregular troops, viz. 113,400 Janissaries, 132,054 Spahis, 30,000 Metharredchi, and 15,000 Artillerists. Of these troops only 186,000 are fit for campaign service.—Sea force, 12 ships of the line, 6 frigates, and 50 lesser vessels.—Revenues of the Chosca or Imperial chubb, 2,000,000. Revenue of the Mirior chubb of the Empire, 44,942,500 dollars. National Debt, 53,350,000 dollars.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1807.
THE NEW BRITISH MINISTRY. Every day's experience more and more evinces the hostility of those men to America.
We love Peace, sincerely and from our souls do we love it. We would drain the cup of conciliation to the last drop even with the wrong-doers, but there is a point beyond which forbearance would be a crime.
Of all the acts of intolence, of unlawful force, of tendencies fatal to our peace with the other belligerents, of unmanly and barbarian violence, and of opposition to just feelings and found principles, the attempt of the British Admiral's ship Leopard to force by broadsides on a disarmed frigate, our commander Barron to return our impressed countrymen to the guns of the British navy, there to fight against nations with which we are at peace, is the most excessive.
If the conviction of Gen. Wilkinson for improper, or even unconstitutional conduct, could absolve Burr from all responsibility, we would not wonder at the attempts made at Richmond, and in all the federal prints, to represent the character of the former in the most odious light.
How different is the conduct of Burr—when he is told, that Wilkinson has brought some of Burr's own confidants to prove his treason, he answers, "these men were bro't here by force, they were compelled to come here—the proceeding is not according to the forms of law; it was a contempt of court not to summon them in the regular way"—can any thing speak louder of the consciousness of guilt, the inability to meet the evidence these men could give.
Why do not the railers against the government, the friends of Burr, explain the inconsistency of his conduct; why do they not unfold the causes of that frenzy and desperation, that mark all the actions of their hero.
As to Wilkinson, we have said before, and we repeat again, let him be tried, and, if he has done wrong, punished—but let not the arraigned traitor escape punishment, because Wilkinson is denounced by him—when one trial is over, there will be time enough for another, if necessary—Wilkinson courts investigation, and will abide the issue.
The U.S. Gazette is unneat, left the public should suppose federalism to be at the bottom of Burr's treason, and it has full cause to be so—however, all it can say now, will have no effect; there is no doubt, but federalism has been the body and members of the conspiracy—the Ogden, Swartwout, Dayton, Bollman, Neill, &c. are all, all staunch federalists. Burr himself once pretended to despise federalism, and he is the only one of all those engaged in the conspiracy, that was not at all times, what his agents are—decidedly federal.
From Richmond, June 20. The grand jury are expected to close their inquest on Tuesday or Wednesday. General Wilkinson appeared before them yesterday, for three hours, for five hours to-day, and his examination is not yet closed, and perhaps may occupy all Monday.
From loose conversation it is reported that there are more than the original named conspirators actually concerned, and that evidence has been produced, which requires no collateral support but its bare production.
As to what may be the result of the deliberations of the grand jury, no one can say out of their own body; and indeed I question if there has been any sitting of sentiment among themselves yet, because upon Wilkinson's evidence will greatly depend the bearing, and repulsion of the adverse witnesses.
An opinion is current out of doors, that the grand jury will have evidence superabundant to prove that the real object of the conspirators was Orleans, and that the Mexican expedition was no more than a lure to entice those whose passion was money. There are many persons from the westward here, who do not hesitate to assert this, and that the real plan was the seizure of N. Orleans and Floridas under the protection of G. Britain; this fact is said to have been established by the evidence or acknowledgement of Bollman.
The examination of Gen. Wilkinson commenced on Friday, continued all Saturday, and is not expected to close before Tuesday evening. I am happy to find that the venerable Col. Morgan and his sons John and Thomas of Washington county, Pennsylvania, who are here as witnesses, have acquired great credit for their good evidence before the grand jury, particularly the younger Thomas.
The bills before the grand jury are one for treason against A. Burr, another for misdemeanor—two similar bills are laid against Bannercroft. If I am not very much deceived there will be similar bills against others and among them the great thunderer.
From RICHMOND, JUNE 25. Yesterday the Grand Jury found two bills against Col. Burr, one for HIGH TREASON, and one for misdemeanor;—there were also two found against Bannercroft (an Irishman), of the same nature. Burr could not be permitted to bail, and for the first time in his life slept in a prison. MORE INDICTMENTS.
This day the Grand Jury have presented five others as guilty of HIGH TREASON, viz. General Jonathan Dayton, of New Jersey; John Smith, one of the Senators from Ohio; General Israel Smith, of New York; Colonel Comfort Tyler, of New York, and Davis Floyd, of the Indiana Territory. This has been the result of the proceedings this day.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability in London, dated May 10th, 1807. "I arrived here the 26th of April. Had been detained and carried into Portsmouth, but was soon liberated. While at Portsmouth I attended the trial of Henry Whitby, heard the verdict read which acquitted him, and saw his sword returned. A few days after I was in company with him: He told me he expected to be off Sandy Hook again in a few months, to kill another John Pierce."
American Independence. ON Saturday last the Anniversary of the independence of our Country was celebrated in this town by all classes of our citizens with unusual spirit.
1. The Day we celebrate—a nation's Jubilee. 2. The Declaration of Independence—may it inspire us with hatred for tyrants; may it be the altar on which we swear to maintain our liberty. 3. The attack upon the Chesapeake, and the murder of our Countrymen, an afterpiece to the Massacre at Boston in 1770—let us what the sword? Let us bend the bow! 4.

New Hampshire—all things invite to peaceful councils, and the settled State of order. 14. [After the Governor had retired] JOHN LANGDON—a bond of Union. 15. WM. DUANE—May his "Politics for Farmers" make farmers politicians. 16. Federalism in its dotege, it prates like children.
VOLUNTEERS. By Governor LANGDON—May the citizens of the United States lay aside all party spirit, and unite their hearts in repeating all insults offered them by any Foreign nation whatever.
By Charles Cutts, Esq. (after the President had retired,)—The President of the day. By Mr. Benjamin Penhallow, (the Vice-President having retired)—The Hon. Speaker of the House of Representatives of New Hampshire—May his talents and patriotism be rewarded by a greatful people. By Capt. Wm. Rice—May the tongue be dumb, and the arm wither, that shall vindicate British tyranny or British depredation. By Mr. E. Wentworth—The memory of CHARLES AUSTIN.
BRITISH DEPREDATIONS.
List of vessels left at St. George's (Ber-muda) on the 2d of June. Those marked thus (*) were captured close on our coast. Ship Eliza, Hartung, of Newburyport, from the Isle of France, vessel acquitted, part of her cargo condemned. The claimants appealed for the cargo, and the attorney-general appealed for the vessel, because, as he openly declared, the appeal had been made for the cargo! Brig Ann and Frances, Gifford, of New York, from Cadiz, vessel and cargo ordered to further proof. Ship Titus, Cushing, of Philadelphia, from Bordeaux, vessel and part of the cargo condemned as French property, and appealed for, the rest of the cargo ordered to further proof. Ship Cicero, Smith, of Philadelphia, from Vera Cruz, vessel and cargo condemned for having carried out bison-van and steel which were considered as contraband, appealed for—to fail for Philadelphia in 15 days. British gun-brig Mary, Marshal, from New York, for Jamaica, vessel and cargo condemned on the ground of being bound to Hayti, though every paper pointed clearly for Jamaica as her port of destination—appealed for.
Ship Baltic, Donaldson, of Philadelphia, from the Isle of France, vessel and cargo condemned as enemy's property—appealed. Sch. Rosanna, Mull, of Baltimore, for Laguira seized, after running on the rocks for, having bar-iron on board. The trial finished and question of contraband referred by the judge to an ordinance-store-keeper and a ship carpenter. Captured vessels waiting trial, with their order of trial, viz. Ship Destiny, Barnard, of New York, from Camppeachy, to be tried in 8 or 10 days. Ship Columbia Packet, Wheaton, of Philadelphia, from Marceilles. Ship Upsala, M'Quillon, of St. Bartholomew, for Baltimore. Brig James, Price, of Hartford from Martinique. Ship Eliza, Blasi, of Charleston, from Matanzas. Brig Augusta, Mesick, of Baltimore from Marceilles. The captor's counsel made three points: first, that she was French property—second, that the voyage was a continued one from France to the Isle of France—and third, that there was contraband on board the outward voyage.
It is asserted in a very respectable London paper of the 11th May, that there were one hundred and sixty thousand hogheads of sugar on hand in that city, which could not be sold. This was occasioned by the exclusion of English Merchandise from the continent.
It is a fact, but not generally known, that the common STRAWBERRY, now in season, is a natural Dentifrice; and that its juice, without any previous preparation whatever, dissolves the tartareous encrustations on the teeth, and makes the breath sweet and agreeable. Quinsy.—This dangerous disorder is among us and lately snatched two or three children from life, after a few hours sickness. Its attack is sudden, and often becomes critical, before medical assistance can be procured. We beg leave to recommend bathing the feet in warm water, on the first invasion of the disease. The child's feet should be thus immersed several times a day, till a free respiration and a general abatement of the symptoms follow. By the way, we observe, that there are few complaints to which children are subject, which will not find relief in warm bathing. On the accession of any alarming symptoms, in the physician's absence, when the attendants are uncertain what to do, it may be generally appealed to with success. [Salem Friend.]

ODE TO TIME.
On Time! with rapid scaring wing, Again thou bring'st the balmy spring; Again the verdant glades are clad, And ev'ry grateful heart is glad.
MORAL.
TO DIE!—Ah, solemn scene, yet sure! nature recoils at the gloomy thought, and fain would pass it over. The tyrant may forget the object of his revenge—the parent her smiling offspring, and man his GOD—but death remembers man must die.—Our lot remains unchanged, our doom is fixed.
EDUCATION.
To educate our children in the best improvements and noblest virtues of our times, is to perform a duty the most sacred which we owe to society, and its parent. If, as reason hopes, and human infirmity daily petitions, He who called man into being is interested in his concerns, no event can more propitiate His favor, than the gradual improvement of his creation.
Recipe for a Lady's Dress.
Let your ear rings be attention, encircled by the pearls of refinement; the diamond of your nec-lace be truth, and the chain christianity; your bolom pin be modesty, set with compassion; your bracelets be charity, ornamented with the pearls of gentleness; your finger rings be affection, set round with the diamonds of industry; your girdle be the simplicity, with the tassels of good humor; let your thicker garb be virtue, and your drapery politeness; let your shoes be wisdom, secured by the buckles of perseverance.
A very avaricious Priest, seeing a poor boy of a very promising appearance in a deplorable condition, called him to his door, and giving him a mouldy piece of bread, asked him if he could read; to which he answered in the negative; to the questions whether he could say the Belief and Lord's Prayer, the answer was the same. Well, said the Priest, I will teach you that; say after me: "Our father" said the instructor, "Our father" said the poor boy; what, your father as well as mine? Yes, certainly. Then we are brothers: To be sure we are, was the reply. Why then rejoined the boy, pulling the crust from his coat, how could you give your poor brother this mouldy piece of bread.

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 ANTIBILIOUS CORRECTIVE.
The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, coquishness, dullness and oppression, 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 coquishness, 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 preparation 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 Vendor 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.

Mr. Blanchard's name being attached to this book as the compiler, would be a sufficient recommendation to it, to all who know it. But to those who do not, suffice it to say, that judges of music, pronounce it one of the best collections that has appeared in print for many years.—Several of the pieces are from modern European publications, by Lockhart, Taylor, Madan, Handel, Arnold, Burney, Lock-Hospital, Milgrove, Howard and many others. We think the lovers of sacred harmony will be highly gratified in having this opportunity of curricular their libraries, with this volume of musical knowledge, instruction and entertainment.
