Given under my hand at the City of Washington, this twenty fifth day of September, 1804. (Signed) JAMES MADISON.
AN ACT,
Supplementary to the act, entitled "An act relative to the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States, and declaring the officer who shall act as President, in case of vacancies in the offices both of President and Vice-President."
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That when the amendment proposed during the present session of Congress to the constitution of the United States, respecting the manner of voting for President and Vice-President of the United States, shall have been ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states, the secretary of state shall forthwith cause a notification thereof to be made to the executive of every state, and shall also cause the same to be published, in at least one of the newspapers printed in each state, in which the laws of the United States are annually published.—The executive authority of each state shall cause a transcript of the said notification to be delivered to the electors appointed for that purpose, who shall first thereafter meet in such state, for the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States: and whenever the said electors shall have received the said transcript of notification, or whenever they shall meet more than five days subsequent to the publication of the ratification of the above mentioned amendment, in one of the newspapers of the state, by the secretary of state, they shall vote for President and Vice-President of the United States, respectively, in the manner directed by the above mentioned amendment, and having made and signed three certificates of all the votes given by them, each of which certificates shall contain two distinct lists, one of the votes given for President, and the other, of the votes given for Vice-President: they shall seal up the said certificates, certifying on each, that lists of all the votes of such state given for President, and of all the votes given for Vice-President, is contained therein, and shall cause the said certificates to be transmitted and disposed of, and in every other respect in conformity with the provisions of the act to which this is a supplement. And every other provision of the act to which this is a supplement, and which is not virtually repealed by this act, shall extend and apply to every election of a President and Vice-President of the United States made in conformity to the above mentioned amendment to the constitution of the United States.
And whereas, the above mentioned amendment may be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states, and thereupon become immediately valid, to all intents and purposes, as part of the constitution, on a day to be fixed by law for the meeting of the electors in the several states, that the electors shall not in every state be apprised of the said ratification, and may vote in a manner no longer conformable with the constitution, as amended, whereby several states might be deprived of their vote in the election of a President and Vice-President; for remedy whereof, Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That the electors who shall be appointed in each state for the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States, shall at every such election, unless they shall have received a transcript of the notification of the ratification of the above mentioned amendment to the constitution, or unless they shall meet more than five days subsequent to the publication of the said ratification by the Secretary of State, in one of the newspapers of the state, vote for President and Vice-President of the United States, in the following manner, that is to say; they shall vote for two persons as President and Vice-President, in conformity with the fifth section of the second article of the constitution. And in other respects in conformity with the provisions of the act to which this act is a supplement; and they shall likewise vote for one person as President, and for one person as Vice-President, in conformity with the above mentioned amendment to the constitution; and in other respects in conformity with the provisions of this act. But those certificates only, of votes given for President and Vice-President of the United States, shall be opened by the President of the Senate, for the purpose of being counted which shall contain the list or lists of votes given in conformity with the Constitution, as in force on the day fixed by law for the meeting of the electors, by whom the said votes shall have been given. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That whenever, by the provisions of the second section of this act, it shall be the duty of the electors for any state, to vote in conformity, both with the constitution, and of the proposed amendment thereto, the executive authority of such state shall cause six lists of the names of the electors of the state to be made and certified, and to be delivered to the said electors on or before the day fixed by law for them to meet and vote for President and Vice-President, and the said electors shall enclose one of the said lists in each of the certificates by them made and sealed, in conformity to the provisions of this act, and of the act to which this is a supplement.

Political Miscellany.
For the GAZETTE.
Of Mr. JEFFERSON's sentiments on Religion, as expressed in his NOTES on Virginia. N o II. WHEN great and good men employ their pens on subjects relative to religion, and that free enjoyment of it which is man's unalienable right, they command the public attention, and their sentiments become highly interesting with a people, solicitous to preserve untouched the sacred rights of conscience. Our Presidents sentiments on this subject are admired by every friend of liberty and religion, and it were to be wished they were more universally known effectually to silence his slanderers. I here select several passages from his Notes, adding a few remarks, which I apprehend would have been agreeable to his ideas had he wrote more copiously on the subject. In p. 232, speaking of the English clergy he observes that "possessed as they became, of the powers of making, administering and executing the laws, they shewed equal intolerance in this country, with their presbyterian brethren, who had emigrated to the northern governments." This was the religious hierarchy created after the separation from the Romish church. The difference between them is like that of mother and daughter, their principles and views being the same, the Romish church being of a long standing, was the most guilty, as the source of innumerable evils to mankind. The English church however partakes of the same spirit with the hierarchy of Rome. The kings in that communion are crowned by the pope, in the English church by the bishop. The difference in the assumed power is but in the names, pope and arch bishop. When the pope crowned a king, in the 13th century, he held the upper part of a scroll, the king or emperor holding the lower part of it. In the scroll was written "I am king of kings. My law is the Supreme law. I make you a king. You are a king as long as you submit to canon law," or the orders & decrees of the clergy. Should the king of England refuse submission to the laws of the episcopal church, he would be condemned as an heretic and forfeit his crown. This system of tyranny, after long and bloody wars at length gained the complete victory over the religious of other persuasions and gave law to those they had subdued. In this country, all who refused submission to this hierarchy, were punished as heretics. The presbyterians, quakers, baptists

and all others who refused to conform, were treated with every kind of cruelty. Mr. Jefferson observes that "several acts of the Virginia assembly of 1659, 1662 and 1693, had made it penal in parents to refuse to have their children baptised; and it was sufficient reason for punishment that a man had refused though he pled conscience in the case. How cruel was the law which under a religious sanction, forbid the peaceable quakers meeting to worship, and ever to banish them, and if they returned the third time, to hang them! In page 233 of the Notes, the President observes that "the Anglicans retained full possession of the country about a century. Other opinions began then to creep in, and the great care of the government to support their own church, having begotten an equal degree of indolence in its clergy, two thirds of the people had become dissenters at the commencement of the present revolution." Such was the governments' care of the English church in that state that every parish was obliged to pay towards the support of the minister who was settled for life, and his salary was, I think, 20,000 weight of tobacco per annum, 20s for every marriage, and 40s for every funeral he attended. Every thing being thus established by law, the clergyman had only to read his prayers and sermons, and live quite easy knowing the people were obliged to maintain him, whether they heard him or not. Hence the clergy were the most indolent set of men in the country, and gave themselves no trouble about other preachers coming into their parishes, as their salaries were secure. But when the United States became independent, they found the loss of children came on them in one day. For a large majority of the people were become dissenters, which caused them to cry out their glory was departing. Bishop Madison, some years ago, made a grievous lamentation for the Virginia clergy, mourning that their churches were trembling to ruin, (that is, wooden, brick or stone churches) that the priests were forsaken. For the law which supported indolent, ignorant, wicked and even drunken priests, was no more. In New England, the clergy of other denominations would have been in as bad a case as was the English, but that the law favoured them, as the people imagine, and still do, that they must give them a support. However in my opinion of the religion & practice of many of them, they are not merely useless, but pernicious, as being enemies to our government, and as having laid and done every thing in their power to prejudice the people against our President and the administration. The President is found to be a friend to religion, and an enemy to religious tyranny and persecution, to a union of church and state against the people, their liberty and republican government. He is not for having one religious denomination supported by law, and others crushed by the same law. He has been called an infidel: But how contrary his character, principles, writings and conduct to those of an infidel every one can now judge. He is doubtless the first magistrate who has declared in his sentiments that "religion is a matter between God and man," and that the rights of conscience are not to be submitted to magistrates and priests. God has doubtless, raised him up, as he did Cyrus, to be the defence, with all good men, of civil and religious liberty; and the sentiments they have advanced and which they maintain will finally be received in every nation.
REAL LIBERTY.
An advocate for the federal clergy calls them tried patriots and the faithful friends of Christianity. They discovered it wonderfully indeed by their lamentations for the fall of anti-christian tyranny in France, calling their temples and worship Gods' altars, and now by their joy at the revival of papal grandeur? Does their love of virtue, religion and liberty shew itself by their writings and preachings against the government, and their seeking a union of church and state, to the establishment of civil and religious tyranny? Then it must be allowed they have been greatly abused.
Does there not appear to be too much truth in the remark of the editor of the Columbian Minerva, that federal papers and writers are most liberally rewarded, and the essays of Republicans far less encouraged? What a pity the best of causes should suffer by the relaxation of its friends! Ought not Republican papers and pens to meet with as much, if not more encouragement now than ever? should we grow remiss, when the enemy is employing all his power against us? and must we be reminded of our foes, as examples of grateful attention to those who are making the best use of their abilities? How shameful, should our remissness and parlimonious neglect prove the triumph of our enemies, and the loss of all we hold dear!
To the Freemen of N. Hampshire.
AS on the first Monday of the next month is the day appointed for the choice of Electors of President and Vice President of the United States, it is hoped and expected, FELLOW-CITIZENS, that you will be fully determined & ready to the discharge of the important duties before you; that, with the fidelity and attention which becomes American Citizens, you will have examined and learned the characters and qualifications of the candidates for the high offices which they will be called to sustain. In a matter of such all interesting moment, every individual should rouze himself to the utmost exertion as realizing that all he holds dear is at stake.
As our present Chief Magistrate has been strongly recommended for re-election, by the most enlightened and most patriotic citizens of the union, what have you to do, but to advert to the past years of his administration—to the sentiments he has professed and practised, and the great things he has accomplished to the entire satisfaction, and to the applause of a very large majority throughout the union. No recommendations can a man have more forcible and persuasive than these. Regardless, then, of the vile insinuations and slanderous aspersions on the character of that worthy and illustrious Citizen, and his friends in office, and judging and determining for yourselves, you will act with that independency of spirit which has ever distinguished the Freemen of the United States, and, by a general attendance on the appointed day, and a faithful discharge of your duties, give to your country, for President and Vice President, the Citizens they most value, and in whom they will most heartily confide.

From the Chronicle.
IT appears that, as the Presidential election approaches, the efforts of the Royalists increase, to fully the reputation of Mr. JEFFERSON and his immediate friends. Falshoods are advanced in rapidity, upon the shoulders of each other: and tho' circumstantially and fully refuted, yet the work of detraction goes on. The father of lies is continually at the anvil, forging calumnies, and will continue to forge them while virtue has any influence in our national councils.
It may be reasonably asked, what advantages are to be expected from this abuse of truth, and what particular wrong has Mr. JEFFERSON committed to inflame these furious men in their hostility to his good name? Were such questions asked, we would answer them thus: the primary object with them is an overthrow of all our Republican institutions, to introduce and establish a monarchy among us. This is an event which they ardently desire, and which they would consider as an advantage. It was the leading aim of Gen. Hamilton's political life, and it formed the governing spirit of Mr. Adams's administration. It is the ill concealed hope of all the Tories in New England, and of Massachusetts particularly; and, in proportion as the good sense of the great body of our fellow citizens places this paracidal hope more and more remote, the folly and desperation of these base slanderers is rendered more insulting and atrocious.
As to any particular wrong, committed by the President, towards them, it is sufficient to reply, that those wrongs are manifested in their contemplation by his steady habits of political right; by his reduction of the national debt; by his prosperous system of economy; by his preference of a militia to a standing army; by his dignified protection of morals; by his extension of the empire—by the wisdom and success of all his measures, and by the glory of his name. Tho' these are acts, of genuine goodness, in the eye of a republican, they seem as indelible wrongs in the comprehension of the Essex Junto , and all their Tory hordes who are momentarily panting for the crisis of a national misfortune.
You are decidedly told by these sanguinary men, that they abhor Mr. JEFFERSON, because he resists war and bloodshed, and prodigality and local pride: because he preserves us in peace and honor, and will not give his warrant for the formation of an hierarchy and an established church. Because he will not cast the freedom of his countrymen at the feet of the British
minister, and enter into an offensive and defensive alliance with our ancient taskmasters and tyrants; but holds an honest friendship with all nations, and avoids entangling alliances with any. These, fellow-citizens, constitute his high crimes and misdemeanors in the view of our federal monarchists, and for which they will never suffer him to repose under the mantle of their charity. A la bonheur! for as it is said in the comedy, "there is no body thrives after their blessing."
BY THE LAST MAILS.
WASHINGTON, OCT. 5. The following letter, communicated to the Secretary of State, is published at the request of the Marquis de Casa Trujillo.
SIR, HAVING been absent from Philadelphia for these 18 days past and travelled far into a part of Virginia where I had no opportunity to see the late newspapers from the Northward, it is but to day on my return to Washington I have been surprised of a publication highly injurious to my character, which under the garb of sworn evidence has been made by a certain W. Jackson of Philadelphia in the paper of which he is the Editor, called the Political Register.
Had the said evidence appeared isolated, with no other weight but the name of the Editor and the circumstances of his deposition, I would have treated his malicious attack with the silence of contempt as all the facts therein related even when true would not prove I had violated the laws of this country nor the duties of my station, but a letter from the President of the United States to Jackson having been circulated along with his evidence, this circumstance alone, tho' the President does not express his opinion upon the subject stamps this affair with a degree of importance, it would have been otherwise divested of.
For this reason and for the respect I owe to the President of the United States, to this government and to myself, I have thought proper in thus addressing you to enter into the explanation of this translation, innocent in itself, consonant with the laws of the country, proper in my station and which cannot be dishonored even by the artifice of invidious malignity.
In a country where the liberty of the press prevails, its use must be a shield of defence, as it is an instrument of attack. This is consonant with justice and congenial with the principle of equal rights, it is then legal to establish a defence by the press against the attacks made through the medium of the press. This sacred principle of self defence is as inherent to political states, as it is to individuals, and when an offence is thus made against a sovereign which cannot be brought into a court of justice it is not only the right, but also, it is the duty of the representative of that sovereign or nation to repel the attack with the same weapons, which are made use of for his injury.
Were the foreign ministers to be deprived of this right, enjoyed by every individual who breaches the air of the United States they would be reduced to the sad condition of distinguished slaves in the very centre of the land of liberty. For some time past some of the Philadelphia newspapers had published paragraphs and circulated comments about the existing differences between the King of Spain and the United States, mutilating facts, altering circumstances and drawing false conclusions highly contrary to the character of justice and generosity so often and so magnanimously proved by the king my master; I myself was pointed out as the author of some letters from Cadiz and Madrid, although I never knew of them but by the newspapers, and with the same injustice an abusive paragraph against the President was first attributed to me; thus the public mind was poisoned with incorrect acts and abnoxious conclusions—under such circumstances I believed then, and I believe now, it was not only my right but also my duty to check the torrent of impressions as contrary to truth as to the interest of my country.
Being very well acquainted with the great influence of public opinion in a popular government as is that of the United States with a just intention of bringing the subjects of discussion under a forcible point of view which had been carefully concealed, and presenting them to the public eye under new aspects, and apprehending that the editors who had previously espoused a party on the question would refuse to insert in their papers my intended publication, I thought that Mr. Jackson among others would not perhaps have the reluctance which I anticipated in the former. I requested him to call upon me and having acceded to my request, after a delusory conversation about the news of the day, of Mr. Pinckney having called for his passports (my apprehensions of the rash step) and the detriment which would arise from a war between two nations invited by their reciprocal interests to the preservation of peace, I told him he could do more good to his country by advocating peace, than by the warlike principles, he was proclaiming in his paper—I dwelt a while upon this topic & finished by bringing forward the only object of our meeting & telling him that if so disposed, I could give to him for publication explanations and elucidations which could not fail to be favorable to the cause of peace, and that for his trouble he would have the acknowledgment that would be proper; those were my only words upon this head in all the course of our conversation, in this offer I had in view but the just compensation which is due to an editor of a newspaper full of advertisements as Mr. Jackson's for the room that my intended essays would have occupied in his Gazette, or a reward for his labour if he was to take upon himself to couch my ideas in a more correct language than I could do it myself. Surely the honor of a man who is in the habit of retaining the space of his pa-
per by lines should not be hurt at a just compensation which was offered, when it was questioned of occupying some columns of it, and Mr. Jackson is less excusable in the perversion of my meaning (converting under oath a mere formula of his into the affirmation of a fact) as I repeatedly told him, "Sir, this is not a diplomatic intrigue, it is a plain case, and if there was any thing dishonorable in it I would be the last man to propose it, and you would be the last man to whom it would be proposed by me." Why Mr. Jackson has omitted in his affidavit these expressions of mine, so illustrative of my true meaning, is better known to himself, but if he is a man of honor I defy him to deny them; and leave to your consideration, Sir, if it had been my intention to persuade a person to an improper conduct I would have been so awkward as to bring the sentiments of the most scrupulous honor before his eyes; it is then evident that Mr. Jackson has perverted the meaning of the compensation offered, and this is the more ridiculous as the only thing which in rigour was contemplated by me was the mechanical part of his office, that is the printing of my publications; it could be apprehended that a foreign minister would risk an intrigue to bribe directly or indirectly a high officer of a Crown, depository of the secrets of state and director of its measures, but to bribe Mr. Jackson, the Editor of a newspaper whose success scarcely can be seen across the waters of the Schuylkill and the Delaware, without a place in the Government, without personal influence, to bribe him for the typographical publication of ideas which were not his own, by their nature perfectly harmless and legal, is a conjecture only to be suggested by a wicked heart or a miserable head. I repeat that the only apprehended refusal of the Editors who had espoused a side of the question contrary to my ideas determined me to call on the said W. Jackson; but altho' I consider him a man of some talents, he is highly deceived if he supposes I could mistake his pen for the key to the temple of Janus.
Where is then what he so very poetically is pleased to term my infamous purpose? Is it in the elucidations or explanations proposed? Surely not as he knew very nule of them, and even if known they were perfectly innocent. Was it in their tendency? that is impossible when their object was by his own confession the peace and advantage of our two countries; was it in the attempt of publishing them? it is demonstrated that in such circumstances I have not only the right, but it was even my duty to do it; was it in the tender of the compensation? it is evident there was no more inducency in this proceeding than there is in the offer or the present of a fee to a lawyer or to a physician; where is then the offence to Mr. Jackson's honor or to the rights of his country?
If Mr. Jackson has proceeded with a culpable levity and affirming under oath that he had penetrated my infamous purpose when it is evident he had completely mistaken it, he has been not less incorrect in affecting upon oath, that I had mentioned to him to have myself received a letter from New Orleans, which stated there was a letter at that place in Mr. Jefferson's hand writing, which declared that if the settlers between the Mississippi and the Rio Perdido would raise the American colors they should be supported—No Sir, it is not true, although given under oath by Mr. Jackson, that I had received such a letter. I only told him in the way of conversation, and not for any other purpose whatever, that there were in Philadelphia one or two letters from New Orleans, mentioning the above account. I never informed him I had received one, as in reality this was not the case; that such letter or letters, under the above mentioned date, have been written from New Orleans, is a fact known by some people in the city. I myself have seen one of them directed to a very respectable person in Philadelphia, and it authorized by him I would mention his name, but after the President's declaration I am convinced of the falsehood of the assertion, and persuaded that calumnies can be invented and propagated with the same facility in New Orleans as they are done in Philadelphia.
This, Sir, is the history of this transaction, ridiculously magnified by Mr. Jackson who has presented it to the public with as much solemnity, as if he had discovered the gun powder plot or the conspiracies of Freque and of Bedmar—all the heinous crime is that I wished to make use with decency and decorum of the incontestable right I possess of self defence, applying it to my sovereign and to my country; the intended elucidations since have appeared in other papers under the signature of Gravieras Manent, and by the perusal of those essays, you may easily judge if their contents are of a nature to bribe Mr. Jackson with any acknowledgment; as he declares in his evidence, or if there is in them to be found a single expression contrary to the respect due to the government or to this country; the use I have made of the liberty of the press cannot be disputed without attacking the constitution, as the law does not confer in its salary restrictions the publisher but the publication, and if this does not infringe the law, it would be a criminal attempt to restrain any person in the United States from the exercise of this sacred right; this is, Sir, what was intended to be done and has since been done by me: my means have been just and legal, my object pure and benevolent, and can only give offence but to persons, who, groaning under pique and disappointment, establish their expiring hopes of retrieving their blasted fortunes, on the public calamities of a war, for such persons the doctrine of advocating peace cannot be but high treason.
I would have demanded from this government the punishment of the said Jackson for the offence of converting a mere formula of his into the affirmation of a fact, and employed under his perverted idea an infamous and defamatory language, had I not anticipated that when the particulars of this letter shall be known to the public I shall be completely avenged by the severity of his feelings.
Although the vindication of my conduct exclusively belongs to my king and government, a favourable opinion of the good people of America is far from being indifferent to me. For the reason and for the degree of interest and importance that the circulation of the President's letter has imparted into this affair, I have thus con-
ceded publicly to notice an incorrect charge with unjust and abominable conclusions. With sentiments of high consideration, I have the honor to be,
SIR, Your most obedient humble servant, EL MARQUIS DE CASA TRUJILLO. James Madison, Esq. Washington, October 2, 1804.
P.S. I have referred to the last what Mr. Jackson has mistakenly introduced, to imply that I had assumed a contemptuous style, by refusing to term the administration the "government."
On this head I am particularly desirous of vindicating myself, as it is so foreign to my disposition—In truth during the debates of Congress in 1798, I learnt the difference between the two terms, and in speaking to Mr. Jackson, I mentioned the administration, and added "nor to say government," thereby meaning to distinguish between the administration and the three branches of the legislature which constitute the government—Thus this apparently disrespectful language evinces only the cautious precision of a foreigner.
So many misconstructions, if they had not been given upon oath, I could not have suffered of being accidental.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By an arrival at New-York, we have received accounts from Europe, to the 16th of August, but nothing momentous has occurred.
The British ministry, have ordered the blockade of all the northern ports of France, comprehending Fecamp, Saint Velery, Dieppe, Tupert, the river Somone, Etaples, Boulogne, Calais, Gravelines, Dunkirk, Nieuport and Ostend.
The French are using much exertion in fitting out their fleets: They have at Brest 21 sail of the line, ready for sea; at Rochefort five sail of the line, and two others nearly equipped, with frigates in proportion.
In respect to the business of invasion, we have but little to add; John Bull consoles himself for all his losses, privations and fears, by twagging in loud terms, upon the contempt with which they regard Bonaparte's threatened attack; we have merely to remark, that if it was possible to build a bridge from Calais to Dover, that would last twenty four hours, the French armies would settle the national account forever, in the Royal Exchange of London. Chron.
Melancholy Indeed!
THE shocking disaster occasioned by the late storm, which commenced on Tuesday last, are truly distressing. As public heralds, the painful task devolves on us to record the sad events. Among the most distressing, are the following:
On Tuesday night last was wrecked on Ipswich bar, in the terrible storm of thunder and lightning, tempest and hail, the Schooner Dove, belonging to Kittery, and commanded by Mr. Myles Briard, where every soul on board, (consisting of seven) perished! The crew was Myles Briard and his son William Briard, Daniel Jones, John Muggidge, William Hutchinson, Edmund Hutchinson, and John Gunton. Also,
Was wrecked at the same time on Plumb Island, the Schooner Robin, of Kittery, commanded by Mr. John Card, and the whole crew, consisting of eight, all perished! Their names were, John Card, Joshua Monson, Benjamin Webber, Samuel Lamphere, Isaac Lewis, Nathl Knight, Ephraim Kane, and a Mr. Staples. Many of the people in the two above vessels, have left wives with a number of young children, to mourn a husband lost! (a father dead!) May heaven facilitate his melancholy dispensations! and open the hearts of the rich, to distribute of their abundance to the relief of the necessitous. Also,
On the same evening, was wrecked on Jenners ledge, near Rye beach, the sch'r Amity, belonging to Mark Simes, Esq. of this town, and commanded by John Trefethen; she was from Philadelphia, loaded with corn, flour, iron, leather, books, cordials, &c. &c.—which, we are unhappy to observe, were principally lost, and no inturance on any of the goods or vessel. The lots of freight were, Mr. Mark Simes, (the owner of the vessel) J. & J. Goddard, Charles Pierce, W. & D. Treadwell, and the unfortunate passenger, who was lost. The crew of this vessel were all miraculously saved, except Mr. Chas's SENDER, a gentleman passenger, belonging to Philadelphia, who was coming here on a visit to see his wife's relations, and a accompany a little son of his home, who had been here a few months on a visit. We understand Mr. SENDER, was a gentleman much respected in Philadelphia; engaging in his manners, esteemed and beloved by all his acquaintance—He was the affectionate kind husband, the loving tender parent, and the sincere affable friend. The following epitaph may not be unaptly introduced on this melancholy occasion;
AH! cruel fate and hapless doom Have lodg'd thee in the scanty tomb! The surging billow's furious moan Was mingl'd with thy dying groan! No tender wife's regretting eye, No prattling infant's heaving sigh Sooth'd with their love thy latest breath, Or clasp'd thee in the hour of death.
What muse can pour her tender strain, Or paint thy wife's unbanded pain? That wife, whose soft endearing soul, Bade all thy hours with rapture roll. O may thy wife, & y infant find, In ev'ry breath, a parent kind! And when from mortal scenes they move, Mount with thee, to those joys above.
One man was scued dead in the reed at York, who set out from this town on Tuesday morning, to walk home to Cape-Nedick.
A woman was found dead on Saturday last, on Rye beach, with her infant child clasped in her arms. She was a passenger on board an Eastern vessel which was lost in the storm on Tuesday night last.

EFFECTS of the late STORM.
SEA-BOARD.
At Salem, many houses were injured, and many barns, trees, fences, &c. were blown down. The following vessels are on shore; ships Recovery and Adventure, brig Liberty, a sloop from Nova Scotia with planks, a sloop from Falmouth with lumber, and a sloop from Gloucester. In the midst of the gale on Tuesday noon, the ship Atalanta, Perry, arrived at Salem, 11 days from Halifax. The ship Succes, Robbins, from Falmouth for Boston, with a cargo of lumber, was among the number that went ashore, and has received the most damage of any, having lost her anchors, main and jib booms, and fore-bilge. The master has entered a protest of the damages with a notary public. Several vessels, we hear, have been seen upon Plum Island since the storm.
At Marblehead, 33 sail of vessels were driven on shore, among which were two brigs. A fishing boat from Charlestown, was run down on the beach by one of the brigs, and a man was considerably hurt. Much damage was done to buildings. At Cohasset, some injury was done to the buildings, and many trees were blown down. Sch'r Diana, belonging to Capt. Tower, was driven ashore at the mills; a sloop belonging to Mr. Stevenson, was driven on a wharf; and a sloop belonging to Mr. Lathrop, on a stone wall. The Portland paper, of Thursday last, makes no mention of the gale—it is said, however, to have been felt there, but with scarcely any damage. We have no particulars of the damage done at Newburyport, nor at Salem. From the South Shore, we learn that very little damage was done.
INLANDS.
A sloop from the Eastward, loaded with lumber, which had put into Cape Ann, and there parted her cables, drifted on to Cohasset Beach. A sloop of Boston, loaded with wood and bark, went to pieces on Cohasset Beach, Captain lost, two men saved. Brig Thomas, of Portland, from the West Indies, with sugar and molasses, was wrecked on Scituate Beach. The masts and pumps of a top-sail sloop, and the masts and boom of another vessel, drifted on to Cohasset Beach. We understand that a vessel is on shore, two or three miles to the westward of Plymouth, loaded with dry fish, reported to belong to Cohasset. Several pieces of a wreck have been found on Marshfield Beach.
INTERIOR.
At Dedham, the house of Capt. Dowse, we hear, was partly unroofed; and it was supposed on Wednesday there were more than 150 fallen trees on the Turnpike Road. At Milton, several houses were blown down. At Quincy, 3 or 4 houses were unroofed, above a dozen barns blown down, and several cows killed. At Dighton, a house was blown down, and other damage done. At Taunton, a large new house was blown down, and many trees destroyed, as at other places. At Danvers, the roof of the South Meeting-house was partly torn off; the Baptist Meeting-house, at the new mills, was unroofed, one side blown in, and the pews ripped to pieces; and other damage in the town. Our information from the country, since the storm, extends to upwards of fifty miles, in various directions; and almost every town within that distance, has had trees, parts of orchards, barns, &c. blown down. The storm began earlier to the northward, than in this town; and was accompanied by hail and snow in the interior country. The mountains running, near Peterborough, Rindge, Lime, &c. are covered with snow; and in many towns adjacent, the snow is said to be, by persons from thence, from 4 inches to 2 and 3 feet deep. A market-man from Abby, mentions, that the hail on Wednesday morning was 4 inches deep. The Amberst stage was considerably impeded by drifts of hail.
Boston paper.
We hear from Kittery, York, Berwick, &c. that great damage was done. Many cattle perished in the storm.
The damage sustained by the storm of last week, is thought to be unparalleled in this country!

Piscataqua Bridge Lottery.
The object of this Lottery for the repair of Piscataqua Bridge cannot fail of engaging the attention of public spirited citizens, the advantages of this bridge being great and extensive. Massachusetts, Maine and New-Hampshire have largely experienced its utility; and all must be sensible of the importance of its being kept in good repair. It was first built at the expence of individuals, nearly to the amount of 70,000 dollars, and the seal of the public cannot be too much excited to render it permanent. Nothing more refounds to our glory, than promoting and advancing, to the highest perfection, whatever is conducive to the convenience and rapid circulation of business public and private. The chance for gain in this Lottery is exceedingly great, in which there are so many capital prizes, and considering the small number of tickets.
There needs little to be urged on those who discern the great importance of the object, to encourage their patriotic exertions for its accomplishment.
Whole Tickets at 5 dollars and quarters at 8/3 for sale by
PEIRCE, HILL & PEIRCE, Market Street.—Prize Tickets in the first class taken in payment.—Let the commendable example of those who have been purchasers and gainers in the first class, be an inducement for others to purchase in the second. October 9.
THE person that was in the Store of the subscriber, on Monday the 8th inst. and took from thence a Cross bar'd handkerchief containing a piece of Checked India Cotton, is requested to return the same immediately, as he is very well known; otherwise he will be prosecuted.

For the GAZETTE. AN ODE. From the pen of the Rural Loiterer. Written after reading the speech of Robert Emmett, delivered just before his execution in Ireland. Did freedom's bright, benignant ray, Pervade thy breath—illumine thy way? Did Liberty—a sacred name! Inspire thy breath—thy heart inflame! And shall no laurel trophy bloom, Around the mansion of thy tomb? Shall not some future bard relate Thy noble deeds—thy shameful fate? With Kosciusko—martial Pole! Thy love'd and honou'd name enroll? Or does thy cause less glory yield, Than when great Warren stain'd the field? Or does not ev'ry feeling breast Weep o'er the nation that's oppress'd? Yes, victim to a noble cause! Thy name shall meet with high applause; And unborn bards, and heroes brave, Shall plant the myrtle on thy grave.
