MISCELLANY.
For the N. H. GAZETTE. To THOMAS PAINE.
SIR, YOUR letter to a late Governor of Massachusetts, came to my hand through the medium of a Newspaper. It being thus in one view, addressed to all, it would seem that any man may through the same channel return his answer; and here you have mine.
One part of your letter I pass.—Political questions, are "trifles light as air," compared with the enquiry, is christianity true. To a man desiring an endless and happy existence, (and who does not,) the question must be deeply interesting.
You are disposed to give yourself much credit for your book, as intended to hold back the French from the gulph of Atheism. Is this a fair and ingenious account of your purpose? Christians have learned from the scriptures this language, "to us there is one God." Was it needful to deny and reproach the scriptures which teach this, in order to prove that there is one God?
Had you exposed the doctrines and ways of the Ministers of a religion mis-called christianity, as tending to promote Atheism, no man could have reasonably blamed you; but to oppose the book that teaches the fear of God, under any pretence of guarding against Atheism, is a procedure that cannot stand a moment before the judgment of conscience.
According to your letter, christians having a creed of their own unite with you in this, "I believe in God"—Surely then you did not write your book to convince them of what they already believed; nor to dissuade them from Atheism—What then was the purpose?—The book and the letter have doubtless the same aim.
It was to set your own system of Deism in a supposed inviting point of view, that you represent it in your letter, as the belief of all men of all religions. You intimate that they all set out with you, and that the only difference lies here—Some go further than you, and in various ways, which from their discordance must, most of them be wrong—This view may look specious, but it is delusive.
When a Deist, a Mahometan and a Christian all use the expression, "I believe in God," you consider them as having one creed. But this is not true; each uses the words in his own sense. So we have three creeds instead of one—An Israelite would have said, "I believe in God"—An Egyptian would have said the same. But the former intended the true God of Abraham, and the latter the fabulous god Apis. The God of christians differs in character from the god of Deists and Philosophers, no less than the God of Israel from the horned god of Egypt.—There is then no point of union in which all religions meet.
Why do you contradict the history of the world, in order to establish this fictitious unity—How many gods were worshipped in Greece? How numerous were the divinities of Rome?—Why do you also contradict your own assertions? You had just said, "the world has been over run with fable and creeds of human invention"—Now there can be no unity between fable and fiction on the one hand, and the true doctrine on the other. "In a war of such creeds" they cannot be in unison with truth or with each other. A general creed extracted from them amount to this, I believe in the Gods.
Nations and people have in fact been immersed in polytheism, with the exception of the ancient Jews whom you reproach, and the ancient Christians whom you despise. Even your patriarch Socrates could not pronounce with an unflattering tongue, that God is one—and at the close of life offered a cock in sacrifice to the dead god Esculapius. What now becomes of your assertion, that Christians and Infidels, yea all who have any creed, unite in believing in God?
Had you written your letter in sober earnest to expose the impiety and arrogance of an order, seeking the Priesthood, as Korah did of old, no sober man could have blamed you. Respecting these men I go quite beyond you. You say you do not believe all these
to be perverse. Now I believe that those who claim to be Priests in distinction from the meanest believer, are all perverse They assume authority like the Lords of the Gentiles, and take to themselves an Honour without being called to it; against the plain injunctions of Him whom they profess to believe and follow.—If this be not perverseness, what shall we term it?
You are welcome for me to mention, and set in its true point of view, the conduct of these self-made Priests, in reviling Rulers. It is but too true of such as you mention, that they are "presumptuous and self-willed, and are not afraid to speak evil of dignities." This is another specimen of their perverseness and opposition to Christ. But for men to take his name upon them, and oppose his religion under pretence of great zeal for it against infidelity, is not a new thing in the world. It has been done in various ways, ever since men took upon them to corrupt a Heavenly Religion to ignoble worldly purposes.—All this is, to my mind, a strong proof of the Divine authority of the book which so clearly and exactly predicts these very pernicious ways. I should now add a remark on the scripture calling the Rulers in Israel, gods, which you chuse to understand as setting up more gods than one; but lest I should too much croud the few observations I have further to make on your letter, or too much lengthen this, I shall conclude now, reserving such remarks to a second letter.
PHILALETHES. March 1, 1803.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY CALEB STRONG, Esq.
Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
A PROCLAMATION FOR A DAY
OF PUBLIC FASTING AND PRAYER.
A BELIEF of the agency of the Supreme Being, in determining the condition, as well of States as individuals, induced our pious Forefathers, at the beginning of each year, to appoint a Day of Public Fasting and Prayer; that, in joint acts of devotion, they might acknowledge his Providential Government, and implore his blessing on their public measures, and private concerns.—This practice, which is coeval with the settlement of the State, has been retained to the present time, and is still recommended by its own propriety:
THEREFORE, By the advice and consent of the Council, I appoint Thursday, the 7th day of April next, to be observed as a Day of Fasting and Prayer, through the commonwealth; and request the Ministers and People, of the different religious denominations, to assemble in their respective places of worship on that day—that we may offer unto God the penitent confession of our sins, and our devout supplications for the blessings that are necessary for us; and beseech Him, that through the merits of the Redeemer, we may obtain His forgiveness, and be enabled to render ourselves well pleasing in His sight, by presenting him the service of pure and humble hearts—That he would prosper the U. States, and preserve and strengthen their Union—That those who are in authority in the National and state Governments, may rule with justice and impartiality, and make the laws the standard of their actions—That the People, by a careful attention to their relative duties, may render to every man, in every station and character, the esteem and respect which he justly claims—That every denomination of christians may prove the sincerity of their faith, by such a temper and conduct as the religion they profess was intended to inculcate and produce—And that we may all regard each other's circumstances with benevolence and compassion; and be induced, from a sense of our need of the divine clemency, to exercise mutual charity and forbearance.
That He would save us from waiting sickness, and continue to us the blessings of health—That He would grant success to our husbandry, and cause the ensuing season to be favorable to the growth and perfection of the fruits of the earth—That he would continue to prosper our trade, manufactures and fisheries—That he would smile on the means of education, and that the instructors of the people and the preceptors of youth may be eminently useful in diffusing knowledge, and promoting the interests of religion, good morals and well regulated society.
That He would accomplish the predictions concerning the prosperity and increase of the Christian Church; when the power and policy of its enemies shall be disarmed; when truth and righteousness shall universally prevail, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God.
And the people of this state are requested to abstain from such labor and recreation as are inconsistent with the solemn services of the said day.
Given at the Council Chamber in Boston, this 16th day of February, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and three, and in the twenty-seventh year of the Independence of the United States, of America.
CALEB STRONG. By His Excellency's command, with the advice and consent of the Council, JOHN AVERY, Sec'y.
WASHINGTON, FEB. 14. On Tuesday last a DINNER was given to JAMES MONROE, Esq. at M c Laughlin's Tavern, in Georgetown, by a majority of the members of both Houses of Congress, at which the Foreign Ministers near the United States were present by invitation. W. C. Nicholas, Esq. of the Senate, President and William Jones of the House of Representatives, Vice President. After dinner the following TOASTS were drunk.
 1. The American people.  2. The constitution of the United States.  3. The state governments.  4. The President of the United States, the philosopher, the patriot and the statesman. 3 cheers.  5. The nations in amity with us.—A continuance of our friendly relations. 3 cheers.  6. The agriculture of the United States, the great basis of our national wealth.  7. Our commerce, navigation and fisheries—May peace, plenty and happiness reward the labours of industry and enterprise.  8. Our manufactures—competition to stimulate—duties to protect, and patriotism to consume.  9. Literature—the parent of liberty.  10. The Militia of the United States—the natural defence of our free government.  11. Peace and prosperity to all nations.  12. The state of Ohio, the youngest sister of the Union. 3 cheers.  13. The memory of the departed heroes and statesmen of our country.  14. May the arts which promote the happiness of man be cultivated rather than those which contribute to his destruction.  15. May the ocean which separates the eastern and western continents be always loaded with their mutual commerce, and always open to friendly intercourse.  16. The friends and benefactors of the human race.  17. The American fair—May they always have a tear for misery, and a smile for virtue. 
By the Foreign Ministers. May the powers of Europe never be divided from the United States but by the ocean.
By Mr. Monroe. The union of the states—May political discussion only tend to cement it.
After Mr. Monroe retired.
JAMES MUNROE—Probity, honor, and talents, the true basis of public confidence and esteem.
After the Foreign Ministers retired. The foreign ministers near the United States.
ALBANY, FEB. 1. FEDERAL INTEGRITY.
Early in the session strong suspicions were entertained that the Treasurer of the State, who you know is a federalist, has not been quite as faithful to his trust as he ought to have been; it was thought that he had made free with about twenty two thousand pounds. A joint committee of both Houses was appointed to examine the state of the treasury and report thereon. Yesterday the committee reported to the astonishment of the members of both branches. By this report which, notwithstanding the scandalous conduct, of the Treasurer, is mild and candid, it appears that there is an unaccounted for balance against him, an absolute deficiency of near thirty four thousand dollars! Thus you see that Republican vigilance, seeking to reform abuses committed by federalists when in power, in the general as well as in the state governments, is every day finding out depredations they have been guilty of, and rectifying their mal-conduct. The joint committee unanimously recommended the appointment of another Treasurer.
After the report was made, Mr. M c Claren, the innocent federal Treasurer, who never polluted his fingers with the money of the Treasury, very modestly resigned his office.
General Bailey, now a member of the House of Representatives, is appointed to succeed Mr. Governor Morris in the Senate. Mr. Woodworth, an amiable man and an excellent Republican, had a large majority in the Assembly as successor to Mr. Morris, but on a joint ballot of the two houses, General Bailey had a majority of two; they are both republicans, both enemies to plots. The Federalists are indeed humble in the two houses, as they ought to be. In the Senate they are 12 to 20; in the Assembly 25 to 75.
The Forged Letters, Are continued for inspection at Duane's book store every day from 9 to 12 o'clock, and will be until the 24th inst. Along with the forgeries are exhibited—
 1. A real letter of Nicholas Geoffrey.  2. Three undigested letters of Mr. John Rutledge.  3. The forged letters in the name of Nicholas Geoffrey.  4. The anonymous articles sent to the Aurora in 1798 and 1799, &c.  5. The hand writing of Mr. Ellerv. 
THE ex-judges, says the Baltimore Patriot, are nobly disposed to become placemen and pensioners; and would make a grand corps de reserve had KING JOHN succeeded in substituting the crown, for the cap of liberty.

FOREIGN ARTICLES.
NEW-YORK, FEB. 21.
By the arrival of the ship Batley from Liverpool, and the Ann from Hull, we have received files of the London and Provincial papers, to the first of January, and commercial shipping lists and prices current to the last of December. These papers add very little to our former stock of intelligence.
Private letters from Havre mention, that four thousand soldiers, of the most disreputable description in the eyes of the French government, are ordered to embark for St. Domingo. They are men who have been taken from the galleys, or have served under the allies; those who are accused of revolutionary crimes, and whose loyalty to the consulate is suspected. The embarkation of these men, while it shows a determination on the part of France to retain St. Domingo, implies that the regular troops are not very willing to go upon the service, or that the government does wish to throw them away on such an enterprise.
Private accounts from Paris state, that the first object will, in a short time, nominate for his successor the son of Madame Louis Bonaparte, and appoint a council of regency, consisting of generals Murat and Moncey, Cambacérès and the grand Judge, at the head of which his brother Joseph is to be placed. The college of princes is, according to the same accounts, to be composed of the great officers of the Legion of Honour, the presidents of the deliberating body, the Presidents of the sections, of the council of state, and an upper chamber taken from among the senators.
A duty of 400 francs has been laid in France on every five myriagrams of white cottons, finished, embroidered or striped, imported from abroad.
According to letters from Transylvania, the most melancholy accounts are daily received there of the damage done by the earthquake which took place on the 26th of October. In the 88 villages in Harum-Szeck, the most beautiful part of the district of Szeckler, a single church steeple has not been left standing. At Gallacz, in Moldavia, more than sixty persons had been crushed under the ruins of their houses. At Bernsdorf the church and ninety houses were thrown down by the violence of the shocks.
LONDON, DEC. 23.
By letters from Holland we learn, that four additional demi-brigades are to be sent without delay from France into that country.
It has been proposed to the Batavian government, by that of France, not only to defray the expenses that may attend the fitting out and forwarding to its destination the French expedition which is preparing at Helvoetsluys, but also to discharge an arrear of three months pay now due to the troops which are to compose it. This proposal is understood to have drawn from the Batavian government some expressions of surprise; and it is asserted, that they have declined it, with the remark, that their revenues were within the power of France, and that of course if she chose to dispose of them, she could meet with no resistance: but that the Batavian government could never give their consent without violating their duty, and betraying the trust reposed in them.
Some of the letters add, that Breda, Bergen op Zoom, and some other fortresses in Holland had been taken possession of by the French troops.
JANUARY 2.
It is said that 200 of the royal marine corps will go out to Botany Bay, under the command of lieut. col. Collins, of that corps, who is appointed Lieutenant-Governor.
A Dutch mail arrived on Friday, but brought no intelligence of importance. Gen. Victor and César Berthier, have arrived with orders from the first consul, for the expedition fitting out in the ports of that country, to sail immediately, but it is presumed that it cannot put to sea for a fortnight.
Dispatches had been received at Constantinople from the Pacha of Cairo, who states, that he has defeated the beys, & blocked them up in Upper Egypt, where from the want of provisions and the great ravages which the plague is making amongst their troops, he expects they will soon be compelled to surrender.
The order of the French government, that the silk of Piedmont, and the other Italian states, shall only be sold to dealers in France, will be very sensibly felt at Vienna, and probably cause the failure of several silk manufactures there.
The presents which the Tunisian ambassador carries to Paris for madame Bonaparte, consist of two very elegant Moorish female dresses, richly embroidered with diamonds; for the first consul he carries ten beautiful horses, some lions, &c.
JANUARY 3.
The trial of Col. Delpard, and his associates will commence about the 20th of next month, at the new sessions house, Newington. A commission for that purpose is now making out, and will pass the great seal in a few days. Lord chief justice Ellenborough, it is supposed will preside on the occasion, assisted by the judges Lawrence, Le Blanc, Chambre, and Thompson.
England is wisely endeavouring, before she orders her troops to evacuate Egypt, to procure the adoption of such a system as shall prevent any foreign power from attempting to wrest that province from the Porte.
Letters from Constantinople of the 14th of November, the contents of which are given in the Paris papers to the 21st ult. which we received this morning, state, that lord Elgin has proposed a triple alliance between Turkey, Great Britain and Russia, the principal object of which shall be to prevent a descent upon Egypt, and to stipulate that the Porte shall not grant permission to any power to send troops thither. Russia is said to be friendly to the proposition. But the Porte hesitates, through fear of giving offence to France. If Russia however, who must always possess the most influence at Constantinople, be really desirous that such a treaty should be concluded, the Turkish government must of course accede to it.
Citizen Ruffin, likewise, who resides at Constantinople, as the official representative of France, keeps a vigilant eye on every movement and intrigue of the British minister. He is labouring at present to obtain the stipulated indemnities to those citizens of France whose effects were, by the Turkish government confiscated during the war.
National Legislature.

Mr. Thompson, from the committee appointed, on the memorials of the city of Washington and Alexandria, reported a bill for establishing the government of Columbia.

No person to be eligible as a member of the house of representatives unless resident in the territory for three years, and possessed of a freehold for the same time; and no person to be eligible as a member of the senate unless possessed of property in value amounting to 500 dollars.
Referred to a committee of the whole on Monday next.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the report of the committee on the propositions of the convention of Ohio.
Mr. Varnum in the chair.

On the call of Mr. Newton, the house went into a committee of the whole—Mr. John C. Smith in the chair, on the bill making an appropriation of 50,000 dollars for the preservation of timber on navy yards and for the improvement thereof.
Mr. Randolph considered this bill entirely unnecessary, as it made a partial appropriation that would be fully embraced in the general naval appropriations.
Mr. S. Smith moved an amendment defining the appropriation of 50,000 dollars, by prescribing that 10,000 dollars should be appropriated to each of the yards of Charlestown, New-York, Philadelphia and Norfolk, and 5,000 dollars to Washington, and a like sum to Portsmouth.
A debate ensued in which Messrs. S. Smith, Griswold, Mitchell, Newton and Mou supported, and Messrs. Randolph, Maclean, Elmerdorf, Smilie and Eustis opposed the bill; when Mr. Smilie observed that as the only difference of opinion related to form, he should move that the committee should rise; when risen, he should move a postponement of the bill until the general appropriation bill should be taken up.
The question on the rising of the committee was carried ayes 46—Nays 33.—The committee rose, when leave was refused them to sit again, and the bill referred to the committee of ways and means.
Mr. Early, from the committee appointed on the memorial from Georgia and the report of the secretary of war, reported a resolution for making provision by law for the payment of certain militia employed in Georgia in 1793 and 1794, for the defence of the said state.
Referred to the committee of the whole on Monday.

A debate of considerable length ensued on the competency of the provisions of the bill to secure the ends contemplated by it. The bill provides for a decision by the district judge on the application of individuals for pensions.
Dr. Eustis was in favor of a provision in the room of this, authorizing the Secretary of war, to examine each case and to make report to congress. To obtain this alteration in the bill, he moved that the committee should rise, when he would further move the recommittal of the bill to a select committee—This motion did not prevail.
Several amendments were then made, when the Committee rose, and reported the
bill with the amendments, which were ordered to lie on the table.
About 2 o'clock Mr. Nicholson said he had a report to make on a subject which had been acted upon with closed doors. The galleries were cleared, and the House continued their sitting until 4 o'clock, when an adjournment took place.

Extract of a letter from General Wilkinson, to his friend near Natchez, dated on the Yazoo river, Dec. 14, 1802.
"I have after surmounting obstacles and objections unexpected, unprovided for, and almost insuperable, prevailed on my red associates to agree to the extension of the British line, and to establish a boundary on the east bank of this river; about eleven miles above that called for by Mr. Percivall, in his field notes; by this modification, in which the Choctaw commissioners (duly authorized) cheerfully concur, we secure a permanent beginning for our boundary near the highland and the Indians suffer no injury. The Choctaws engaged with me on this business, deserve much credit; they are jealous, but not improperly so; firm, but not obstinate; intelligent and temperate; with different dispositions a rupture would have been unavoidable. I shall this day complete the line of demarcation to the river, and as soon as the weather will permit me to ascertain the latitude of the spot, and the variation of the magnetic needle, I shall return southward, mile-marking the route in my progress."
WASHINGTON-CITY, FEB. 16.
On Monday Mr. Rofs made a long speech in the Senate, on the situation of the country as affected by the measures pursued at New Orleans. We were not present; but from the information we have received, his object appears to have been the adoption of measures for immediately taking possession of New Orleans, without any preliminary negotiation. In the course of his remarks he alluded to certain resolutions he meant to propose without reading them. He had spoken on the subject for more than an hour without interruption, when he made some remarks and alluded to circumstances which Mr. Wright considered as confidential. He accordingly moved that the galleries should be cleared; which, in obedience to a rule of the Senate, immediately took place.
It is very much to be regretted that this speech was not fully taken. Indeed we hope that Mr. Rofs will present it to the public. If we are not misinformed, its publication would speak a language 100 intelligible to be misunderstood. It would then unquivocally appear, whether there is not a body of men—that body who have lost the national confidence—who are bent on war; and who, in the desperation of their misfortunes, are ready, nay anxious to plunge the country into ruin to gratify party ends.
But, thank God, the people of America are firmly attached to peace and good government. They will preserve peace so long as national honor and the public good require it. But should unfortunately the period ever arrive when national honor and the public good demand the avenging arm of war, the energies of the people concentrated in a government which in their confidence, will constitute the strongest and safest barrier to invaded rights.
PHILADELPHIA, FEB. 10.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the United States frigate Constellation, dated Toulon Bay, 24th October, 1802.
"We left Malta on the 23d August, and arrived off Tripoli the 25th, where we staid three days, and then left it for Tunis Bay; where we arrived on the 4th of September, and sent our boat on board a French man of war, lying in the bay, with a letter for our consul; capt. Murray not wishing to have any communication with the shore for fear of being quarantined at the next port he went to."
"On the Wednesday following, we again flood into the Bay, and sent our boat on board the French ship, and likewise an American, where our officers saw the consul; who informed, that a few days previous to our arrival, he had received an official letter from the Danish consul at Tripoli, informing him of our having killed the Basha's favorite general, when standing next the Basha, by one of the shot which flew on shore the 2d July, when we had the skirmish with the gun boats—that we had destroyed two gun boats, and killed and wounded many men—that the Bey of Tunis had demanded a 36 gun frigate from the United States, and was quite impatient at not receiving it."
The same letter contains the following paragraph: "Bonaparte has banished general Toussaint to the Island of Elba, in chains."
BOSTON, MARCH 3.
CHOICE OF SENATOR.
On Tuesday last, the Senate of this Commonwealth came to the choice of a senator of the U. States, in the room of the Hon. Dwight Foster, resigned. General Skinner was the Republican, and the Honorable Timothy Pickering, late Secretary of State, the Federal candidate. The whole number of votes was 27, of which Mr. Pickering had 17, and was chosen!—Messrs. Hitchborn, Hull, Hildreth and Coffin, (of Nantucket) all Republicans, were absent.
Yesterday, agreeably to previous assignment, the H. of R. proceeded to the choice, and in concurrence with the Senate, the Hon. Timothy Pickering was elected, for two years after this day.
On the first trial, the whole number of votes were 112, of which 57 were necessary to make a choice. The Hon. Timothy Pickering had 58—Hon. Thompson J. Skinner 49—Nicholas Tillinghast, Esq. 9—Gen. Henry Knox 1—Hon. Benjamin Pickman 1.
On the second trial, the whole number 116, necessary to a choice 59. Mr. Pickering had 59—Gen. Skinner 52—Mr. Tillinghast 3—Gen. Knox 1, and Mr. Pickman 1.
Thus it appears that the Hon. Messrs. Pickering and Adams have been chosen into the Senate of the U. States, by the majority of a single vote each; although pushed forward by all the remaining efforts of Massachusetts' federalism. It is clearly to be discovered, by an examination of the various votes in the house, that neither of these gentlemen were the objects of choice with an actual majority of the electors had not peculiar circumstances operated to give them an election. The fact unquestionably is, that the leaders of federalism in the Legislature were pledged to the Essex Junto to
promote Mr. Pickering, by all practicable means; and upon principles of reciprocity, the gentlemen of Essex were bound to the federalists, to support Mr. Adams—and they must certainly have the credit of having faithfully fulfilled their bargains: for they spared no pains to bring the moderate federalists into measures which were naturally repugnant to their feelings. That they should have succeeded to completely is not very strange, when we contemplate the united weight of two so influential and active parties, as those which have been mentioned, whenever they can be brought to act in even forced concert!
The result of the votes, however, furnishes us with one certain and consoling reflection—that Massachusetts' Federalism, with all her united and adventitious forces, has nothing to spare; and that though she has in this instance husbanded her means to the best advantage, her votaries will not probably soon be able again to cover her nakedness by the union of her scattered threads.
The bill for incorporating a new Bank in the town of Boston has passed in the Legislature.
From the AURORA.
THERE is no baseness so base for Toryism to resort to. The following article has been copied from the Portland Gazette from which it has been copied by several despicable prints—the Palladium has only given the malicious slander in general terms. When it first appeared in an insignificant print in this city, we determined to make enquiries at Washington—subjoined to the article is the answer which we have received from Washington on the subject.
Mrs. DEARBORN and TOM PAINE.—The last Kennebec paper contains the following singular article. We insert it for the amusement of those who are acquainted with the politics and religion of the parties:
DoBoR C—, a Member of Congress from this state, in a letter to a friend thus writes:—"A number of gentlemen were lately invited to dine at Gen. Dearborn's; among whom was Tom Paine. After dinner, Paine began to ridicule religion, and blaspheme the Nazarine in the most mocking manner. Mis. D. with an air of dignified authority, arose, opened the door, and bid him Begone!—Paine and his friends feared and looked thunderstruck! Mrs. D. told him he had heard her blasphemy as long as he could endure it; then pointing to the door, commanded him to Begone that moment! he then left the room, while the company sat in amazement!"
Indignant thus the rebel host dismay'd, The Almighty mandate silently obey'd; Nor was there one in Heaven's best mansions found, Who durst oppose, where God in vengeance frown'd.
On taking a view of the principal actors in this Tragi Heroic scene, the candid impartial mind will be at no loss in determining to which character belongs true magnanimity of soul; to which disgraceful licentiousness; and to which, contemptible infamy!
Remarks on the above, written at Washington.
"You might have concluded from the internal evidence of this new tale, that it was a gross imposture. One of the pious means by which the religious profession is brought into disrepute and doubt. The Rev. Dr. Manasseh Cutler, is the Member of Congress to whom this slander is attributed in the first instance. He solemnly declares that he never wrote or insinuated any thing which could countenance such a fallhood. Whether he had or had not denied the calumny attributed to him, it so happened, that the writer of this dined at Gen. Dearborn's on the same day that Mr. Paine dined there. Mrs. Dearborn is a venerable, modest, motherly woman, perfectly domestic and unassuming. On the day Mr. Paine dined there, the conversation turned wholly on the events of the American and French Revolutions, and particularly on the misconduct of Silas Deane. During the whole time of dinner, religious conversation was not once brought up, and immediately upon the removal of the cloth, Mrs. Dearborn, and her daughter, Mrs. Wingate, retired, to our general reluctance, and evidently to theirs, for the conversation was interesting, and the Ladies who had been joined by several others after dinner, intimated that the conversation would be acceptable in the drawing-room. It also happened that Mr. Paine remained at the General's until 7 o'clock in the evening, when he parted with the family in perfect civility, and that the writer of this accompanied him to his lodgings, and that he has as constantly as at any other place paid visits to the family. Mr. Paine so far from being an unpleasant or morose character, has been considered, in many companies where I happened to be, as a most agreeable and interesting man, from the fund of anecdote which he possesses and his readiness to communicate it—where the company is agreeable. Whether the authors of such calumnies and the various forgeries that are brought forth, consider these as the best means of supporting Religion and proving their morality, let others judge."
No rational man who examines the political state of the Union, can doubt as to the re-election of Mr. JEFFERSON to the Presidency. When that event takes place, it is to be hoped, that federal opposition will cease to agitate the public mind, and disturb the tranquility and happiness of society. Until that period we must, perhaps, expect that the present organized opposition will continue with all its butternels and rage, unless the State Elections should previously become so Republican as to furnish an effectual check.

Portsmouth.
Tuesday, March 8, 1803.
Tuesday last, agreeably to notification, the inhabitants of this town assembled at an early hour; and after making choice of the Hon. JOHN GODDARD, Esq. Moderator, they proceeded to bring in their votes for State Officers, &c. At 5, P. M. the poll being closed, the votes stood as follows:—
 For Governor.  JOHN LANGDON, 547  JOHN T. GILMAN, 233  TIMOTHY WALKER, 1  ELIPHALET LADD, 1  Councillor.  LEVI BARTLETT, 547  JOSEPH BLANCHARD, 234  JOHN T. GILMAN, 1  Senator.  CLEMENT STORER, 548  THOMAS LEAVITT, 235  JOHN GODDARD, 1  Recorder of Deeds.  JOSIAH ADAMS, 541  NATHANIEL PARKER, 233  County Treasurer.  NATHANIEL FOLSOM, 543  OLIVER PEABODY, 234  PETER PARKER, 1  NATHANIEL PARKER, 1  Representatives.  JOHN LANGDON, } Representatives.  ELIJAH HALL,  STEPHEN CHASE,  CHARLES CUTTS,  A true Copy,  George Wentworth, Town-Clerk. 
ON this occasion the Inhabitants gave their general attendance, and altho' the Republican Ticket had a very great majority of votes, yet the Federalists, (as they falsely title themselves) had a number more this year than the last—but it was not owing as has been ludicrously observed by them, to any change of Republican Principles, but to the deaths of a number of influential characters,—and to a most energetic exertion of the Federal party, by calling in the lame, the feeble and every denomination of legal voters to their assistance—more especially the seamen of the shipping, then being in the harbor belonging to Federal owners, while those of the Republicans were mostly at sea—and so jealous were the captains lest their sailors should show them a slippery trick, they personally attended with them, to see that they put in the votes which were calculated to answer their owners wishes.—When any odium is attempted to be thrown on Democratic writers by writing in defence of their principles, let modesty check the design, and only let a parallel be run between the party writers, and see which has exceeded the other in the most vile, ignominious and disgraceful aspersions—it's said, that an ox does not speak for want of a tongue, and we can say with great propriety, that it is not for want of matter that we do not answer the farcical reflections cast on the Republican cause, which, as a gentleman of great discernment once said of the Bible,—“it wants no apology;” and therefore we submit it to its own basis, as we believe it to be too well founded to be shaken by every wind of doctrine.

COMMUNICATION.
THE advocates for High Salaries, are everywhere in motion, to persuade the People to continue their old patron Mr. GILMAN in office. Having tasted the sweets of his influence, and fattened ten long years on the labors of the People—they dread a change that may reduce their salaries, in proportion to the reduced prices of the Farmers produce. It is a fact, and the Journals of our Legislature show it, that since Mr. Gilman has been Governor of this State, the salaries of our Public Officers have been enormously increased, and from the doings of the last session, it is evident, that this avaricious disposition is not yet satisfied.—Should Mr. Gilman be again elected, it is morally certain, that further attempts will be made to raise the salaries of some of his chosen friends, beyond their present increased rate.—For tho' they succeeded last June, in raising some of them beyond their former standard, they fell short of what they aimed at. A comparison of the salaries and compensations of Public Officers, under former administrations, with those given under Mr. Gilman, will exhibit a striking contrast between the economy of past and present times.—When Gen. SULLIVAN was at the head of our Government, he received a salary only of 666 2/3 dollars, and he reviewed the whole Militia of the State, and was capable of doing it.—Gov. Gilman's salary has been increased from time to time, to 1200 dollars—and it appears he is not satisfied even with that; for about three years ago he made a communication to the Legislature, which was considered as a threat of resignation, if his salary was not increased—it is well known that his particular connections then warmly contended for 1500 dollars.—Under Gen. Sullivan the Secretary received but 100 dollars per annum—under Mr. Gilman his salary is 400;—under Gen. Sullivan the Members of the Legislature received only 1 dollar per day—under Mr. Gilman they receive 2 dollars per day while in session;—under Gen. Sullivan the salaries of the Judges did not exceed 600 dollars—under Mr. Gilman they are almost double;—under Gen. Sullivan the Attorney General's compensation was 651.—last year it was raised to 500 dollars.—Altho' the People, from whose labors these salaries are paid, cannot obtain so much for the produce of their farms by almost one half, as they formerly could. Should the salaries of Public Officers continue to increase for ten years to come, as they have for ten years past, the whole earnings of the laborious community, must be mortgaged for their payment.—For the continual cry for that period has been GIVE, GIVE.—Let us then apply the remedy which the Constitution has provided—and by a wholesome change of men, endeavor to introduce a system of economy, which while it shall afford a proper compensation to Public Officers, will leave the residue of our earnings at our own disposal.
From the FARMER'S CABINET.
MR. CUSHING. TOWARDS the close of a long night, Spent in anxious conjectures upon the result of the impending State Election, the following weighty reasons for the re-election of Gov. Gilman occurred to my mind, and brought infinite relief, which I resolved as soon as possible to make public, for the benefit of those who may labour under the like perplexity.
 Gov. Gilman ought to be re-elected, because he has hitherto served the State from motives of the purest patriotism. He has frequently declared that his salary was an inadequate compensation for his services, but still (wonderful to relate!) he has condescended to accept the office.  He ought to be re-elected because he opposed the establishment of the New-Hampshire Union Bank. In doing this he manifested a partiality for one portion of his fellow citizens to the damage of another equally deserving; which conduct was highly becoming and praiseworthy, and justly merited the everlasting gratitude of all good Federalists.  He ought to be re-elected, because he is a foe to the present Administration of the Federal Government. This opposition is so essentially necessary to the harmony, good understanding, and welfare of the Union, and of this State in particular, that it cannot be safely relinquished in an office of such high responsibility. To give up this would at once annihilate the last remaining hope of Federalism, which is already upon the borders of despair.  He ought to be re-elected because he has been in office so long that, if it should now be taken from him his arrangements for the succession of his heir apparent would be disconcerted and the hereditary succession frustrated. Such a disappointment would be grievous, not only to Mr. Gilman and his heirs, but to all good Federalists throughout the State. 
Deeply impressed with the above considerations, I take the liberty to propose, for the decision of the electors of this State at their next annual meeting this important question,
Shall John T. Gilman be Governor for life?
A GOOD FEDERALIST.
From Washington, Feb. 18.
A resolution was laid before the Senate yesterday, for authorizing the President of the United States, with a discretionary power, to construct and equip and to employ for service on the Mississippi, or elsewhere, a number of GUN BOATS of such construction as may be deemed necessary for military purposes, and calculated for cruizes on our southern coast. The committee to whom this was referred reported in favor of 15, and an appropriation of 50,000 dollars for the service.—The subject was again discussed this day, and the measure passed the Senate.
A gentleman in Frederick Town, has received a letter from a friend at the city of Washington, and has been so kind as to communicate to us the contents, which will gratify every friend to the U. States, and chagrined every violent Federalist.—they are, That the President of the United States had received from Paris and communicated to Congress a letter written by Mr. Livingston our minister there, who states, that he had an interview with the First Consul (Bonaparte) of France, on the subject of his taking possession of Louisiana, and the Consul assured him, that although it was the intention of the French government to take possession of that province, yet the United States might be assured that all due respect would be paid to treaties relative to the navigation of the Mississippi, between them and Spain.
Mr. Senator Rofs—and his resolutions. This man has been, for many years, the unsuccessful candidate for the chief magistracy of Pennsylvania.—This man is proved to have received secret service money from JOHN ADAMS, to influence an election in that State.—This man was to have been placed in the Presidential chair, by an armed force, if the Federalists had succeeded, in preventing the choice of a President, by a ballot in the House, when the fate of the Nation was suspended by a thread.—This man has, therefore, a right to indulge his spleen, and to solace his disappointment, by attempting to excite a war between this Country and Spain.—The resolutions, proposed by this man, in the Senate of the United States for raising an army of FIFTY THOUSAND MEN, to invade Louisiana, and for appropriating FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, to this object, will be viewed, therefore, rather with pity than indignation, as the ravings of disappointed ambition, rather than as the result of cool and deliberate malice.
If the claims of the disbanded judges of the late Federal Circuit Courts, to compensation for services not performed, had been submitted, by Congress, to a tribunal of brother judges; certainly the equal claims of the disbanded officers and soldiers of the late army, ought to be submitted to the determination of a court martial.
An intelligent gentleman, who has lately travelled through Connecticut, assures us that the Republicans in that State are united, determined and spirited; and, notwithstanding all federal impediments, it is generally expected that they will eventually triumph. That is the opinion of the well-informed of both parties.
REPUBLICAN JUBILEE!
ON FRIDAY last, the anniversary of the FOURTH OF MARCH, 1801, a day ever dear to principle and virtue, by its placing at the head of the Executive of the United States that firm and undeviating patriot THOMAS JEFFERSON, was celebrated by the Republicans in a large number of towns on the continent.
Brick, Lime, Timber and Boards. A correspondent observes, as there will be immense quantities of the above articles, wanted this Spring and the ensuing Summer, our country brethren, and who deal in those commodities, would do well to direct their course this way, as in all probability they will find a ready market, if their articles are put at a moderate price.—To prevent undue advantage being taken by speculators, those who bring any building materials to market, had better enquire for the sufferers by the late fire, who intend to build the coming season.

ON THE DEATH OF
Madame CATHERINE LA FORRESTE, GUIDON, A French Lady in this town, leaving two young children.
AH! hapless stranger! I hast thou found so friend To speak thy worth and moan thy hapless end? No Monumental Mute, in this rude land, T' inscribe thy virtues with a skilful hand? No female candidate to hymn thy praise In pure and pious, as thy life, her lays?— The task be mine—mingle my tears with theirs!
The helpless orphans late thy tender cares! Let no unfeeling foul my numbers blame, 'Tis sympathy that sings thy dying name! Ah! too fond mother how thy eyes of joy, Would fondly sparkle on thy blooming boy! How now forever funk! I lost to his sight! Fixed in a hollow tomb, the cave of night!— Thy little girl so dear, now left forlorn, On an ungrateful soil the path of thorn! No virtuous Mother's lesson to receive, A virtuous mother's loss alone to grieve! Thy sad domestics lead the mourning train! Thy weeping Infants fill the heart with pain!— Those friends she best approved augment the woe, And follow THEM with solemn steps and flow!
(Forgive the muse that dare arraign your pow'r, One whom she chose companion of her hour) When she her glowing language would impart, Stole on the mind and early won the heart. Where foidid fashion's flimsy wasteful breath, “Exotic poisons drew pestiferous Death; “No spotless innocence, no virtue pure, “Against their baleful calumny secure.” Thy prudent sense, her numerous graces blend, And prove the sweet resources of a FRIEND! Thy heart begins to kindle at the flame! That vulgar spite knows but by the name. Befriend the tender BABES! the MOTHER fled! Unfading roses wreath about their head!— Pour on the mind, the thought of HEAVEN above! To join HER there in never ending Love. Portsmouth, 28th Feb. 1803.

Miscellaneous Repository. From a British Publication. COMPLAINTS OF THE POOR. AND wherefore do the poor complain? The rich man ask'd of me:— Come walk abroad with me, I said, And I will answer thee. 'Twas evening, and the frozen streets Where cheerful to behold; And we were wrapped and coated well, And yet we were a-cold. We met an old bare-headed man, His locks were few and white; I ask'd him what he did abroad, In that cold winter night? 'Twas bitter keen, indeed he said, But at home no fire had he; And, therefore, he had come abroad To ask for charity. We met a young bare-footed child, And she begg'd loud and bold; I ask'd her what she did abroad, When the wind it blew so cold? She said, her father was at home, And he lay sick a-bed; And, therefore, was it she was sent Abroad to beg for bread. We saw a woman sitting down Upon a stone to rest, She had a baby at her back, And another at her breast. I ask'd her why she loiter'd there, When the wind it was so chill? She turn'd her head, and bade the child, That scream'd behind, be still. She told us, that her husband serv'd, A soldier far away; And, therefore, to her parish she Was begging back her way. We met a girl; her dress was loose, And sunken was her eye: Who with the wanton's hollow voice, Address'd the passers by. I ask'd her, what there was in guilt That could her heart allure To shame, disgrace, and late remorse? She answer'd, she was poor. I turn'd to the rich man then, For silently flood he; You ask'd me why the poor complain, And these have answered thee. R. Southey.]
The II. book of Anti-Christ. CHAPTER V. 1. AND it came to pass when Anti-Christ begun to be about fifteen hundred years old, that many of CHRIST's friends publicly opposed him, 2. And said unto him we will not submit unto thy cruel laws, for they are oppressive and grievous to be borne. 3. And at that time Anti-Christ sent forth one John, whose surname was Tetrel , to sell indulgencies, by which he might raise money to build his Palace, which he called the Church of St. Peter. 4. And John said unto the people I have saved more souls by indulgencies than ever the apostle Peter did by preaching the gospel. 5. Now it came to pass at that time that CHRIST raised up a man called Martin , whose surname was Luther , (now he was called Martin , because he was born on St. Martin's eve.) 6. And he said unto John thou hast not power to pardon sins, but thou impostest on the people that thou mayest increase thy wealth by impoverishing the multitude. 7. Now Martin was mighty in the scriptures, and had understanding concerning what was contained therein. 8. And as he opposed John, the eyes of the people were opened to see the wickedness of Anti-Christ and the Clergy. 9. And Martin increased in strength, and mightily convinced the people of the wickedness of Anti-Christ and his followers. 10. Now when this came to the ears of Anti-Christ , he was filled with rage against Martin , and sought to destroy him, for by reason of him, many threw off the yoke which Anti-Christ had laid on them. 11. And Anti-Christ wrote unto Martin whose surname was Luther , saying, thou art an heretic, and unless thou repenest of thy heresy, thou shalt be excommunicated, which will be eternal damnation. 12. Then said Martin , if I have done any thing worthy of death or bonds, I refuse not to die; but unless thou provest from the scriptures that I am an heretic, I shall not acknowledge myself in an error. 13. Then said Anti-Christ unto him unless thou appear before me, and confess and renounce thy false doctrine, thou shalt be dealt with as an heretic. 14. Now it came to pass that the day before Anti-Christ had decreed to cut him off, that Martin assembled the people of the city, and said unto them, I this day reject Anti-Christ , and his doctrine; 15. Moreover I reject the Federal plan adopted by Anti-Christ and his followers, and all the wickedness which they practise, under pretence of being the friends of CHRIST . 16. Then Anti-Christ was wroth, and sought how he might destroy Martin and his doctrine, which was so injurious to the Federal plan . 17. And he wrote unto the Emperor, in whose dominion Martin dwelt, ordering him to deliver up Martin , or he should be exposed to the wrath of Anti-Christ . 18. Howbeit the Emperor obeyed him not, but revolted and threw off the yoke which Anti-Christ had put on his neck, which made Anti-Christ tremble like Nagermisabib . 19. Now it came to pass that when Martin found that the Emperor and multitudes of the people had embraced his doctrine, and were opposed to Anti-Christ , that he was much more bold to preach the doctrine of CHRIST , and to oppose Anti-Christ . 20. And he told the people that though Anti-Christ pretended to be a friend to CHRIST , yet he was an enemy to him, and to all righteoussness. 21. Now these are some of the reasons which Martin brought to prove the wickedness of Anti-Christ and all the Federal plan . 22. Martin testified that Anti-Christ and the Federal plan , called the clergy, declared that they were not bound to keep the commandments of GOD —(now the clergy
were considered as Anti-Christ's banding army.) 23. He proved likewise that Anti-Christ said, that there were none who could judge him, but that he is the judge of all men, and that he giveth all laws their force, and yet is not bound to be subject to them. 24. Martin also proved, that Anti-Christ said he had all power to make laws and ordinances for CHRIST's Church, and that CHRIST had given him power over the heavenly and earthly kingdoms. 25. Anti-Christ also said that his laws were of equal force with the laws of CHRIST . 26. Martin said likewise that Anti-Christ declared that he only had power to explain the scriptures of truth, and that it was sinful for any man to explain them contrary from what Anti-Christ said was right. 27. Now when this was published abroad, Anti-Christ and his standing army (the clergy) were filled with rage, because Martin had revealed their Federal plan , and they sought how they might destroy Martin , whose surname was Luther . To be continued.
