PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY
AN ACT
Respecting claims to land in the territories of Orleans and Louisiana. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That so much of the first section of the act entitled "An act for ascertaining and adjusting the titles and claims to land within the territory of Orleans and the district of Louisiana," as provides that no incomplete title shall be confirmed, unless the person in whose name the warrant or order
of survey had been granted, was at the time of its date either the head of a family, or above the age of twenty-one years, be and the same is hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That any person or persons, and the legal representative of any person or persons, who, on the twentieth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and three, had for ten consecutive years, prior to that day, been in possession of a tract of land not claimed by any other person, and not exceeding two thousand acres, and who were on that day resident in the territory of Orleans or Louisiana, and had full possession of such tract of land, shall be confirmed in their titles to such tract of land: Provided that no claim to a lead mine, or salt spring, shall be confirmed merely by virtue of this section: And provided also, That no more land shall be granted by virtue of this section, than is actually claimed by the party, nor more than is contained within the acknowledged and ascertained boundaries of the tract claimed.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the claim of the corporation of the city of New Orleans, to the commons adjacent to the said city, and within six hundred yards from the fortifications of the same, be and the same are hereby recognized and confirmed, Provided, That the said corporation shall within six months after passing this act, relinquish and release any claim they may have to such commons beyond the distance of six hundred yards aforesaid: Provided also, That the corporation shall reserve for the purpose, and convey gratuitously for the public benefit to the company authorized by the legislature of the territory of Orleans, as much of the said commons as shall be necessary to continue the canal of Carondelet from the present basin to the Mississippi, and shall not dispose of, for the purpose of building thereon, any lot within sixty feet of the space reserved for a canal, which shall forever remain open as a public highway: And provided also, that nothing herein contained, shall be construed to affect or impair the rights of any individual or individuals to the said commons, which are derived from any grant of the French or Spanish government.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the commissioners appointed or to be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining the rights of persons claiming land in the territories of Orleans and Louisiana, shall have full power to decide according to the laws and established usages and customs of the French and Spanish governments, upon all claims to land within their respective districts, where the claim is made by any person or persons, or the legal representative of any person or persons, who were on the twentieth of December, one thousand eight hundred and three inhabitants of Louisiana, and for a tract not exceeding the quantity of acres contained in a league square and which does not include either a lead mine or salt spring, which decision of the commissioners when in favor of the claimant shall be final, against the United States, any act of Congress to the contrary notwithstanding.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the time fixed by the act aforesaid, and by the acts supplementary to the same, for delivering to the proper register or recorder, notices in writing and the written evidences of claims to land, be, and the same is hereby extended, for the territories of Orleans and Louisiana, till the first day of July one thousand eight hundred and eight, and persons delivering such notices and evidences shall be entitled to the same benefit as if the same had been delivered within the time limited by the former acts; but the rights of such persons as shall neglect to do so within the time limited by this act, shall, so far as they are derived from or founded on any act of Congress, ever after be barred and become void, and the evidences of their claims never after admitted as evidence in any court of law or equity whatever.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the commissioners appointed or to be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining the rights of persons claiming lands in the territories of Orleans and Louisiana, shall respectively transmit to the secretary of the treasury, and to the surveyor general, or officer acting as surveyor general, transcripts of the final decisions made in favor of claimants by virtue of this act, and they shall deliver to the party a certificate stating the circumstances of the case, and that he is entitled to a patent for the tract of land therein designated which certificate shall be filed with the proper register or recorder, within twelve months after date.—And the register or recorder shall thereupon (a plat of the tract of land therein designated, being previously filed with him or transmitted to him by the officer acting as surveyor general in the manner hereinafter provided,) issue a certificate in favor of the party, which certificate being transmitted to the secretary of the treasury, shall entitle the party to a patent to be issued in like manner, as is provided by law for the issuing of patents for public lands lying in other territories of the United States.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the tracts of land thus granted by the commissioners shall be surveyed at the expense of the parties, under the direction of the surveyor general, or officer acting as surveyor general, in all cases where an authenticated plat of the land as surveyed under the authority of the officer acting as surveyor general under the French, Spanish, or American governments respectively, during the time either of the said governments had the actual possession of the said territories of Orleans and Louisiana, shall not have been filed with the proper register or recorder, or shall not appear of record on the public records of the said territories of Orleans and Louisiana. The said commissioners shall also be authorized whenever they may think it necessary to direct the surveyor general, or officer acting as such, to cause any tract of land already duly surveyed to be resurveyed at the expense of the United States. And the surveyor general, or officer acting as such, shall transmit general and particular plats of the tracts of land thus surveyed to the proper register or recorder, and shall also transmit copies of the said plats to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That the commissioners aforesaid shall respectively report to the secretary of the treasury their opinion on all the claims to land within their respective districts, which they shall not have finally confirmed by the fourth section of this act. The claims shall in the said report or reports be arranged into three general classes, that is to say: first, claims which in the opinions of the commissioners ought to be confirmed in conformity with the provisions of the several acts of Congress, for ascertaining and adjusting the titles and claims to land within the territories of Orleans and Louisiana; secondly, claims which though not embraced by the provisions of the said acts, ought nevertheless in the opinion of the commissioners to be confirmed in conformity with the laws, usages and customs of the Spanish government; thirdly, claims which neither are embraced by the provisions of the said acts, nor ought in the opinion of the commissioners to be confirmed in conformity with the laws, usages, and customs of the Spanish government; and the said report and reports being in other respects made in conformity with the forms prescribed according to law, by the secretary of the treasury, shall by him be laid before Congress for their final determination thereon, in the manner and at the time heretofore prescribed by law for that purpose.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That the following allowances and compensations, shall be made to the several officers hereinafter mentioned, that is to say, to the principal deputy of the surveyor general, for the district of Louisiana, at the rate of five hundred dollars a year, from the time he entered into the duties of his office, in addition to the fees which he is entitled to receive by law. To the register of the western district of the Orleans territory, and to the clerk of the board of commissioners for that district, one thousand dollars each, for their service as commissioners and clerk respectively, during the year one thousand eight hundred and six—To each of the deputy registers of the territory of Orleans, five hundred dollars in full, for their services subsequent to the first day of January last, in addition to the fees to which they are legally entitled. To each of the commissioners at the rate of two thousand dollars a year; to each of the clerks of the boards, and to each of the agents employed by the secretary of the treasury, at the rate of

fifteen hundred dollars a year, and to each of the translators, at the rate of six hundred dollars a year, to commence from the first day of July next, in the district of Louisiana, and from the first day of January next, in the territory of Orleans, and to continue to the time when each board shall be respectively dissolved: Provided , That no more than eighteen months compensation be thus allowed to the said commissioners, clerks, and translators, and that the compensation of any such officer absenting himself from his district or failing to attend to the duties of his office, shall cease during such absence or failure.

STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE. BY THE GOVERNOR.
A PROCLAMATION.
For a Day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer. IT is obviously suitable at all times that dependent Creatures should acknowledge both in a public and private manner their obligations to the great bestower of all their mercies; and there are peculiar reasons to enforce the duty of Thanksgiving and Praise, upon the Inhabitants of this State, so highly favored with the means of spiritual improvement and happiness, and the protection and munificence of divine Providence. Each returning Year brings renewed demonstrations of the kindness of the LORD; and lays us under obligations at the close of the season, to enter into his Gates with Thanksgiving, and into his Courts with Praise.
I do therefore by and with the advice of the Council, Appoint THURSDAY the Twenty-Sixth day of NOVEMBER next, to be observed as a day of PUBLIC THANKSGIVING and PRAYER; and the Ministers and People of the respective religious Societies throughout the State, are requested to meet together on that day, to the intent that we may unitedly testify our gratitude to our Heavenly Benefactor, whose mercy endureth forever; who forgiveth our iniquities, and healeth our diseases; who redeemeth our lives from destruction, and crowneth us with loving kindness and tender mercy. Let us thankfully recognize the personal benefits which he has been pleased to bestow on us, and his kind care of the important interests of our Country. In particular that he has preserved us from the pestilence which walketh in darkness, and the destruction that wasteth at noon day. That he has caused the earth to yield an abundance of those supplies which are necessary for the subsistence and comfort of its inhabitants; and that success has attended our Commerce, Manufactures and Fisheries.
Let us praise His Holy name for the excellent religious and civil institutions which we enjoy, and that we have been hitherto exempted from the destructive effects of War: For the preservation of the Life and Health of the PRESIDENT of the United States; for the continuance of public order, and for the general prosperity and happiness which have prevailed throughout our Land; and above all, that we live under a dispensation of Grace, and Mercy, and enjoy the institutions of that Gospel which bringeth Salvation. At the same time it becomes us as inhabitants of a Christian Country, and members of the great family of Mankind, to sympathize with our fellow-creatures in their sorrows and joys; let us therefore acknowledge the goodness of the LORD for any prospects of Peace among the Nations of Europe.
And while we celebrate the Praises of the most High for public and private favors; let us humble ourselves before him for our past ingratitude, and disobedience. Let a sense of his goodness lead us to repentance, and let us unite our supplications for his pardoning Mercy, through the great REDEEMER; and for the effectual influence of his Spirit to form us to holiness and virtue. That He would be pleased for his mercy's sake to continue to us the blessings which we now enjoy, and communicate an addition of such as may contribute to our temporal and eternal good. That he would prosper the Administrations of our General and State Governments, bless our Nation in all its Foreign and Domestic relations, and inspire those who administer its concerns, with wisdom to discern, and integrity to pursue such measures as will promote the prosperity and honor of the country. That those difficulties which have indicated War, may be honorably and happily adjusted, and that our peace may be perpetuated.
That he would especially have the Government and People of this State under his holy direction and care; that he would keep the Citizens from those habitual vices which bring reproach, and destroy the soul; and incline them to cultivate those virtues which exalt a Nation, and promote individual happiness: that he would preserve their health, and prosper them in their lawful undertakings. That He would bless the means of public instruction, smile upon our College and all Seminaries of Learning; that the Youth may acquire habits of diligence and virtue, and be fitted for usefulness in their day and generation.
That he would be pleased to cause that wars and fightings may cease throughout the World; give efficacy and success to the dispensations of his holy word; bless the labours of those who are appointed to preach the Gospel of Peace; and extend its saving influence to the ends of the Earth.
And the People of this State are earnestly requested to abstain, on that day, from all labour and recreation, which would be inconsistent with its solemnities.
Given at the Council-Chamber in Portsmouth, this first day of October, in the Year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the thirty-second.

VOLUNTEERS.
Captain Thomas Smith's Company of Militia in Biddeford, was paraded on the 10th ult. for the purpose of drafting a chaplain and 14 men as minute men.

From the Baltimore Evening Post.
A QUIDICAL CATECHISM.
Q. What is treason?
A. Treason is a "noble enterprise"—an "union of all honest men"—an association of "choice spirits"—a separation of the states—raising a civil war—killing the friends of the federal government.
Q. When should treason be committed? A. At all times when a fortune is to be made by it. It is more convenient when a country is in profound peace and at the height of prosperity, as then none but the "soft blood" will engage in it.
Q. But suppose a number of people, men, women and children, are killed in the treasonable attempt, will not the traitors be adjudged guilty of murder?
A. Certainly not. The "choice spirits" have a right to kill all persons engaged in the "dull pursuits of civil life." Thus the British have a "right" to seize upon our seamen engaged in the merchants' service, and hang them at their leisure.
Q. In case of prosperous treason, ought not private property to be respected?
A. Yes. If it belong to one of the league, but not otherwise. Law is power; and no man should enjoy what he cannot protect!
Q. Is not a design to commit treason condemnable, seeing that death and destruction are its concomitants?
A. It is not condemnable, on the contrary, it should receive the support of all the great men in the country, the friends of the then existing government excepted.
Q. In case of a treason being discovered, and a traitor is taken prisoner, what may legally and properly be done for his comfort and liberation?
A. It is very proper that the judge who is to try him should frequently visit him in confinement—eat, drink, and be merry with him; assure him that such is the "glorious uncertainty of the law," that he cannot be found guilty; suffer the lawyers for the accused, instead of argument to use declamation, and instead of law to produce "authorities" from the vocabulary of Bilingbange; to abuse the government attempted to be destroyed, and to arrest the course of evidence in a charge or an opinion as long as from this city to Kamtschatka, when it appears possible that disagreeable things may be proved.
Q. But will not the integrity of a judge be suspected—may he not be impeached?
A. No—a judge is a sacred character.—The grand lama of Thibet does not fill a more sanctified situation—his opinions must be revered: and it is "a contempt of court" to doubt his infallibility. Like king George "he can do no wrong;" and if he was to assert that apple dumplings grew upon peach trees, every man is compelled to believe it. As to impeachments, they are all stuff. The word has been found to "mean any thing or nothing;" and will shortly be expunged from the constitution, as useless. See the trials of the judges of Pennsylvania—and judge Chafe.
Q. What are the good effects of law?
A. To prevent the people from understanding right from wrong.
Q. What is the use of lawyers?
A. To render what cannot be understood more incomprehensible—to receive fees, and fill all the important offices of state.
Q. What is the use of a legislature, and of a constitution?
A. The use of a legislature is to receive wages, and of a constitution to make places of honor and profit for the "best blood" of the country when not found out to be engaged in treasonable pursuits.
Q. Is not the constitution the supreme law of the land; and a legislature, being the representatives of the people, the highest legitimate authority?
A. No—as the constitution is built on the "twenty thousand folio volumes" of common law—and the judges alone have to determine its meaning; a legislature, to be sure, has nominally the power of making laws, but the judges are to give them an interpretation.
Q. Under these considerations, would it not be better to have no constitution—no executive—no legislature—and trust all and every thing to the judges?
A. Most certainly—all the other departments of government are useless and expensive.
Q. What is murder?
A. The killing man with malice aforethought.
Q. Is this a crime?
A. Yes—of the most heinous nature.—The judges should hang every man guilty of it.
Q. But what shall be done to a judge who may associate with a person indicted for this offence?
A. This is hardly a possible case—no judge could be guilty of it. But if one should so far forget his dignity as to act president of a feast at which the prisoner was vice president, he ought to be adjudged as a partner in the crime, and as utterly unfit to try the case.
Q. What is malice aforethought?
A. To lay a deliberate plan for murdering one man or ten thousand men.
Q. Must not a person who intends to commit treason do it deliberately?
A. I see what you are at. You want to impress a belief that the intention to kill a thousand men is as criminal as the intention to kill one man. But there is a vast difference. 'One murder makes a villain, millions a hero.' The one is a 'noble enterprise,' an association of 'choice spirits,' the best blood in the country;—the other is a mere murder, and the person guilty of it should instantly be hung in chains as a terror to others.

LAW and EVIDENCE.
The new-fangled system adopted by the Judiciary, of submitting the evidence only to the jury, while the judges have the exclusive right to judge of law, completely places all questions and decisions in the power of the court. The trial by jury may be completely annihilated by this mode of proceedings. The judges having the whole control of the law, they can make even the evidence subservient to their purposes, by suppressing such as may operate to the advantage or disadvantage of the prisoner, as may suit their purposes. The rights of jury are daily infringed on by this modern process; and unless timely checked, will eventually destroy all those privileges which have heretofore been considered as arising from trial by our peers. Of what consequence is it, to have twelve men to try a cause, when the law is arbitrarily dictated to them from the bench, and the evidence is suppressed on a quibbling question of illegality? By this means, the court in future may have the whole control of the case, and effectually become judge and jury in the trial. Our judiciary, under its present management, may be converted to the most destructive tendencies. The law and the evidence were formerly within the cognizance of the jury. The evidence called for, was "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." It was never till lately so shackled by the judges—but in all cases, the evidence was given openly to the jury, and it was their duty and right, to judge on the cause, both as it respected the law and evidence. Their verdict was predicated on their knowledge of the law, and their integrity in considering the evidence—and scarcely in any instance (excepting in high party controversies) was this controverted by the judges. The laws as they are now promulgated, appear nothing more than the mere ipse dixit of the judge, and we fear, is often executed as suits his purposes.—The jury are frequently made mere automaton, just to move as is agreeable to the court. There is nothing more material to be considered by our legislative bodies than the regulation of the judiciary—that some statute laws should be made to place judges within their proper limits—otherwise, the life, liberty, and property of the citizen may soon become the sport of a particular branch of the government, and our boasted privilege of a trial by jury, be annihilated. If our appeal to the laws are controuled by placing the jury under the arbitrary direction of the court in suppressing evidence, we may as well surrender all our rights and liberties into the hands of the judiciary, and dispense with the legislature as a useless branch of the government.
quite probable being produced, they were accordingly ordered to recognize in the sum of 1000 dollars each, and for want of bonds, to stand committed until the next session of the Supreme Court. They passed through this place on Saturday on their way to Haverhill jail;—their trial will come on in October next.
BY THE MAILS.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Bath, western part of New-York, to his friend in N. York city, dated Sept. 7, 1807.
"The situation of this country is truly discouraging. The prospect of an Indian war alarms our inhabitants very much, as we are, at present, exposed, their first attack will, undoubtedly, be on this place. The chiefs of the six nations are now in Canada, holding a council with Brandt, and I suppose the British. If we come to a good understanding with the British, (which is doubtful,) the alarm will certainly subside. Business is at a stand. Produce, which is the life and support of our trade, will fetch nothing. If our militia is called out, they will be stationed for some time near this place, until the Indians are dispersed. I expect to have the command of one brigade of our detachment."
WINDSOR, (Vt.) Sept. 28. SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Canada to his friend in this town, dated September 8.
"The French Militia have been turned out: the 2d brigade on Tuesday last. And if you recollect, that one fifth of the whole were to be called out from the main body, and be equipped with arms. The commander called on those he chose: They being embodied, he called for every 5th man to step 6 paces out from the main body. His call was not obeyed in the least. Some said they would not step out without the rest; and some made bold to say, they would not take up arms against the Americans, but would join them when they chose.—Forty who said they would join the Americans, were committed to prison, and their trial will be tomorrow. They were committed for mutiny."
PORTLAND, OCTOBER 1.
COUNTERFEITING.
On Saturday evening last, John Drew was apprehended in this town, for attempting to pass a Counterfeit Five Dollar Bill of the Maine Bank and a Seven of Smithfield Bank. As soon as he found he was detected, he snatched up the Bills and endeavored to swallow them; but was prevented. Upon searching him, other bills were found in his boot; also a note of hand of 100 dollars against a merchant of this town, which he had some time since paid, and must have been stolen from his desk. He was committed to prison to stand trial; being unable to procure bail for 300 dollars, which was all the Justice required.
HANOVER, Sept. 30. MORE COUNTERFEITERS.
On Thursday last, Daniel Ross and Edward Burroughs, son of the noted Stephen Burroughs, were apprehended at Lebanon on suspicion of counterfeiting money, and brought before Justice Kendrick for examination. Evidence sufficient to render their guilt

LATEST FROM FRANCE.
Arrivals at various ports from France bring Paris papers to the 1st of September.
They do not announce any political event of magnitude. In Paris every thing gave place to festivity and rejoicing—military, civil and ecclesiastical parade. Very little mention is made of an invasion of England; less on the affairs of Denmark. A French army still continued to menace Portugal; and the siege of Stralsund occupied the energies of Marshal Brune. The little garrison of this fortress, only 8000 strong, continued to bid defiance to those French troops which had prostrated the greater part of Europe at their feet. Another sortie was made on the 6th August; a battle ensued, and both sides suffered severely.—The garrison had been reinforced by troops from the interior of Sweden. [Continel.]
Arrived at Portland, the 7th inst. brig Gov. Strong, Cowan, of Brunswick, from Liverpool. Left there the 3d September, but brought no papers! The only verbal intelligence we have heard is that the U. S. ship Revenge had arrived in England; and that the prospect of affairs was favorable to the continuance of Peace between the two countries. [Eastern Argus.]
From the Boston Centinel, of Saturday last.
IMPORTANT—IF TRUE.
Capt. Campbell, arrived at Boston, on Friday, from Passamaquoddy, (Schoodick) informs, that before he failed, he learnt from gentlemen of respectability at Schoodick, that the British express cutter, the Sylvia, of 10 guns, which carried out Admiral Berkeley's dispatches, had returned to Halifax, in the short passage of 20 days, bringing the interesting intelligence, That ALL THE POINTS in dispute between the United States and Great Britain had been AMICABLY SETTLED; and, That a CESSION OF HOSTILITIES had taken place between England and France.
Capt. Campbell, sailed from Schoodick on Sunday last.—The news arrived there from Halifax, on the Friday preceding, in Halifax papers. It was common talk on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and occasioned much joy.—The particulars were related to Capt. C. by Mr. Wm. Pike, Capt. Shubael Downes, Squires Porter, Pink and Brewer, Mr. Andrews, and many others. The shortness of the passage was commented on. Such are the reported particulars. Friday being the 2d, allowing the news to have been six days from Halifax to Schoodick, only one day in Halifax, and the 20 days passage, it could have left England no later than the 5th September; only two days later than the Portland arrival from Liverpool. It is highly probable there is a chapter of mistakes somewhere; and that either the armistice between Russia and France, or the discontinuance of the embargo in England, or some other old event, has been mistaken for news. The report, we are confident, as stated by Capt. C. was current at Schoodick; but the news is too bulky, and the channel too round-a-bout, for entire credence.
The letters, and general complexion of affairs in England, respecting the United States, at the last date, did not promise so early and amicable a settlement of all affairs, as is indicated above; on the contrary, excepting on the affair of the Chesapeake, they wore the aspect of hostility.
COPENHAGEN TAKEN.
Capt. Pratt, arrived at Boston from Amsterdam, which he left the 27th August, informs, that while lying in the Texel he received a letter from an American gentleman in Amsterdam, announcing to him that on the 20th August, Copenhagen was surrendered to the British arms, without resort to hostilities.—We also hear, that the conditions of the capitulation were, that the Danish fleet, and forts should be held by the British, until the conclusion of peace between England and France, and then be restored. Capt. Pratt also had the intelligence of the capitulation of the Danish capital from the Dutch Admiral, and other officers in the Texel. Mr. Munroe had advised that American vessels in Holland, ready for sea, should return home north about; and that others should remain a short time to see the issue of the negotiations in England.—Centinel.
Yesterday arrived ship Tom, Capt. Seward, in 49 days from Elsinore, and confirms the accounts brought by other arrivals, that Copenhagen had surrendered to the English.
On the 18th August, the Emperor Napoleon delivered a Speech to the Senate, in which he says:
"The house of Brandenburg (Prussia,) which was the first to conspire against our independence, owes its present existence to our friendship for the mighty Emperor of the North (Alexander.) A French Prince (Jerome) shall reign upon the Elbe."
"All nations rejoice that the influence of England on the continent has been forever annihilated. I wish for a maritime peace: No desire of revenge will ever influence my determination in that respect—nor can I indulge such a sentiment towards a nation, which is the sport of parties who tear her in pieces, and mislead her concerning her true interests, and those of her neighbours."
PORTSMOUTH.

LATEST FROM FRANCE.
Arrivals at various ports from France bring Paris papers to the 1st of September.
They do not announce any political event of magnitude. In Paris every thing gave place to festivity and rejoicing—military, civil and ecclesiastical parade. Very little mention is made of an invasion of England; less on the affairs of Denmark. A French army still continued to menace Portugal; and the siege of Stralsund occupied the energies of Marshal Brune. The little garrison of this fortress, only 8000 strong, continued to bid defiance to those French troops which had prostrated the greater part of Europe at their feet. Another sortie was made on the 6th August; a battle ensued, and both sides suffered severely.—The garrison had been reinforced by troops from the interior of Sweden. [Continel.]
Arrived at Portland, the 7th inst. brig Gov. Strong, Cowan, of Brunswick, from Liverpool. Left there the 3d September, but brought no papers! The only verbal intelligence we have heard is that the U. S. ship Revenge had arrived in England; and that the prospect of affairs was favorable to the continuance of Peace between the two countries. [Eastern Argus.]
From the Boston Centinel, of Saturday last.
IMPORTANT—IF TRUE.
Capt. Campbell, arrived at Boston, on Friday, from Passamaquoddy, (Schoodick) informs, that before he failed, he learnt from gentlemen of respectability at Schoodick, that the British express cutter, the Sylvia, of 10 guns, which carried out Admiral Berkeley's dispatches, had returned to Halifax, in the short passage of 20 days, bringing the interesting intelligence, That ALL THE POINTS in dispute between the United States and Great Britain had been AMICABLY SETTLED; and, That a CESSION OF HOSTILITIES had taken place between England and France.
Capt. Campbell, sailed from Schoodick on Sunday last.—The news arrived there from Halifax, on the Friday preceding, in Halifax papers. It was common talk on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and occasioned much joy.—The particulars were related to Capt. C. by Mr. Wm. Pike, Capt. Shubael Downes, Squires Porter, Pink and Brewer, Mr. Andrews, and many others. The shortness of the passage was commented on. Such are the reported particulars. Friday being the 2d, allowing the news to have been six days from Halifax to Schoodick, only one day in Halifax, and the 20 days passage, it could have left England no later than the 5th September; only two days later than the Portland arrival from Liverpool. It is highly probable there is a chapter of mistakes somewhere; and that either the armistice between Russia and France, or the discontinuance of the embargo in England, or some other old event, has been mistaken for news. The report, we are confident, as stated by Capt. C. was current at Schoodick; but the news is too bulky, and the channel too round-a-bout, for entire credence.
The letters, and general complexion of affairs in England, respecting the United States, at the last date, did not promise so early and amicable a settlement of all affairs, as is indicated above; on the contrary, excepting on the affair of the Chesapeake, they wore the aspect of hostility.

REBELLION IN IRELAND. Letters of late dates from Ireland, represent that unfortunate country as experiencing all the horrors of a very general and deep laid revolt. It is described as being more formidable in its numbers and more regular in its plans, than any former association for the same object—viz. the emancipation of that country from the tyranny and injustice of the English government. [Philad. Gaz.]
If the American people, previous to the revolution, had followed the advice of the Tories, we should now have been in the same deplorable and miserable situation with the Irish. Every wind that blew from England would waft to these shores a horde of military barbarians, to eat out our substance, lay waste our country, and murder, plunder, and insult our people. We have only to look at Ireland to see what we should have been, had the people of America listened to the vile language of the Tories. Such men as Samuel Adams, John Hancock, &c. would, like the unfortunate Emmet, have been hung; while such base and hoary traitors as Hutchinson, would have held and applied the scourge of regal tyranny to the lacerated back of the people, till existence became a burthen.
Should we now so far deviate from the manly heroism of our brave progenitors, as to listen to the voice of modern Tories, we shall prove ourselves to be utterly unworthy of our ancestors. It was "for us they toiled, for us they bled;" and shall it be said that "we want valor" to defend what they so gloriously acquired? No. The people have abundantly proved their willingness to sacrifice ease and money, to maintain and secure their liberty. They have lately evinced their determination again to sacrifice them, should it be necessary. The unshaken firmness and undeviating patriotism of President Jefferson, aided by the energies and vigilance of Congress, we feel assured, will place this country in its proper position. [Chronicle.]
The British government has, it appears, signified to Mr. Munroe, that it neither does, nor has at any time maintained the pretension of a right to search ships of war, in the national service of any state, for deserters; and that if it should appear that the act of the British officers in the affair of the Leopard and Chesapeake rested on no other grounds than the simple and unqualified assertion of such a pretension, there would be no difficulty in disavowing the act and making the reparation really due. [Nat. Intel.]
NO NEUTRALS—BUT Allies—or Enemies. The people of America will, at length, see, in the declarations of the British minister at Copenhagen—the situation in which they are now placed.
He explicitly declares to the court of Denmark— That it is impossible any longer to distinguish between a NEUTRAL and an ENEMY. That the ordinary covenants (that is, treaties and the law of nations) of any neutral nation are not to stand in the way of British policy or interests. Are you prepared, citizens of free and independent America, to surrender your neutrality—you have it now in your option to submit to Britain or to fight her.
No neutral nation is sufficiently secure in its independence, they say, but under the protection of Britain—and are you now ready to be protected by Britain, as Austria, Prussia, Russia, Holland, Sardinia, Naples, Turkey, Italy, Hanover, Hesse, Bavaria, have been?—From such protection—People of America, may Heaven preserve you—but the time is coming, when, placing confidence in that courage which established your independence, the same courage, the same wisdom, the same constancy, will be called for to preserve it— UNION and CON-TIDENCE —the rallying word. [Aurora.]
A duel was fought in Beaufort, South-Carolina, lately, between Mr. Arthur Smith and Mr. Thomas Hutton. They both fell; and both died the same evening.
A jury of inquest was held on the fourth instant, on the body of Ross Brown, a mariner, found dead in Union-street. The jury brought in a verdict, that "he came to his death by the visitation of God, occasioned by the extreme heat of the weather."
A jury of inquest was held on the 7th inst. on the body of William Paul, a Blacksmith, a native of Scotland, found dead in his bed, in Trott-street. The jury brought in a verdict that "the deceased came to his death by the visitation of God, occasioned by the extreme heat of the weather." [Charleston (S.C.) paper of Sept. 3, 1807.]
The yellow fever rages at Charleston with considerable malignity, if we may judge by the numerous deaths announced in the papers of that city. Much misery will naturally ensue.—We observe one case where the husband and wife died, leaving six orphan children. [Baltimore paper.]
We learn from Richmond, that the proceedings on the motion to commit, would be terminated in a day or two—the evidence had been nearly gone through—and although it clearly proved the guilt of Burr, and demonstrated that an overt act had been committed at the mouth of the Cumberland river, where Burr was present, directing the movements of the expedition—yet it was the general opinion that the court would decide in favor of the prisoner, on the ground that no person should be tried twice for the same offence. There was no doubt but Blennerhassett and Smith would be sent on to Kentucky for trial. Mr. Botta had withdrawn himself from the defence. [N. Y. Aurora.]
Vermont completely Republicanized. We congratulate our Republican fellow citizens in general on the triumph of principle in the state of Vermont notwithstanding a large majority of the citizens of that state have been uniformly republicans, they have repeatedly re-chosen Mr. Tichenor, a federalist, for their governor; but this year they have roused from their stupor, and have rallied round the standard of republicanism, they have convinced the world of their attachment to liberty and the national government by giving their suffrages for the honorable ISRAEL SMITH, a determined republican; who we are happy to hear, is chosen Governor of that state, by a very respectable majority. Thus has Vermont followed the example of her old sister state Massachusetts, and placed in the chair of government a consistent republican, instead of (to say the least) an equivocal character. [Democratic Press.]
Federal papers have given a ready circulation to a ludicrous description of a company of Georgia militia. Though it may reasonably be supposed, from some instances of imperfection, visible even in the militia of New-England, that a very awkward company might be found in the back settlement of Georgia; yet none that could equal this federal picture. The description is carried too far for ordinary credulity to follow. It is a wanton caricature.
It is not unworthy of remark, that this disparaging representation finds the earliest reception in the papers which have been the first to represent our incompetency to maintain any claim against the arms of Great Britain. They have told us that this country will be ruined by England, if we go to war with her—and to support this, they exhibit a caricature of the awkwardness and effeminacy of both officers and soldiers of our militia! Yes—the same villainous traitors who by their language have invited the inuendo of foreign powers, by declaring our rulers to be weak pusillanimous wretches, and our citizens so distracted by party spirit as to be unable to unite in common defence, would now persuade the world that our militia is composed of a rabble, not only rude but effeminate!
It is a libel—it is a calumny. But suppose it was true. Is this a time when it should be wantonly and unnecessarily proclaimed to the world? If a soldier, belonging to a garrison that is menaced by an enemy, communicates to that enemy a description of the vulnerable points of the fortress, is he less a traitor because that description is true?
[Boston Democrat.]  COMMUNICATION. On Wednesday 30th ult. that large and respectable Regiment, the 29th in N. H. containing thirteen full companies, turned out for military review and inspection on Kelly's hill (so called) in New-Hampton, under the command of Col. Wm. B. KELLY of that town,—the fine appearance and martial like conduct of the field officers were highly satisfactory to all present,—the exertions of this Regiment have been so great, as to induce the whole of the soldiers thereof, (with very few exceptions) to be in complete uniform,—and both officers and soldiers paying that close attention to the commanding officer of the day, that all the manoeuvres were performed with that ease and exactness, which met the universal approbation of a numerous crowd of people assembled on the occasion.
Ramsey's Life of Washington. Mr. George F. Hopkins, Bookseller, Pearl-street, has just published in one vol. octavo, the Life of Gen. Washington by Dr. Ramsey, the able and well known author of the History of the revolution. Such a life of Washington, as Dr. Ramsey's, was much wanted, and will be read by every friend of the Revolution with great satisfaction. Ramsey seems to have written the biography to extricate his hero from the trammels of the Chief Justice, and he has succeeded to admiration. He has connected the illustrious General with the events of the revolution no further than was necessary to a correct delineation of his character. [New-York American Citizen.]
New happy Minister!—We understand, at the late term of the Supreme Court in this town, that no less than five petitions and orders of notice thereon, for divorces, in this county, were read and acted upon. [Dedham (Mass.) paper.]
We are informed that the English China fleet have sailed for England with only a small part of their cargoes; not having been able to settle the controversy which arose respecting the death of a Chinese.
"Remarkable Events." SECURITY is so common a trait of the Oracle, that we should not deem it necessary to notice a communication on "Remarkable Events," if it were not to assert the truth of our paragraph of the 29th ult.—Soon after Columbus had discovered America, Vespucius gave out that the Continent was discovered by himself; and one man whose name was not handed down to posterity, said, "it was discovered by one half of the State of New-Hampshire at the same time," or rather by one half of the maritime States of Europe; while others insinuatingly said, that any body might have discovered it, if they had failed or looked that way.—This conversation was introduced at a royal feast when Columbus was present, he heard it with attention, but with silent indignation.—He ordered an egg to be brought to the table and said, gentlemen, which of you can make this egg stand erect on one end,—trial succeeded fruitless trial, till they were all weary of the attempt and the egg was returned to Columbus—he gave the end of it a small rap on the table, when behold the egg stood erect; they cried with one voice, "any of us can do that,"—Columbus retorted, so any of you can discover AMERICA after I have shown you the way.

To the Honorable the Justices of the Superior Court, holden at Exeter, in and for the county of Rockingham, on the third Tuesday of September, Anno Domini 1807; SHEWS, HUNTING PENHALLOW, of Portsmouth, in the county aforesaid, merchant, that he is guardian, duly constituted and appointed, unto Margaret E. Scott, a minor, now residing in said Portsmouth; that said Margaret is seized and possessed in her own right, in fee, of a lot of land situated in Newmarket, in said county, containing about one acre, on which are now standing a dwelling-house, a store, and a barn; that said buildings are in a ruinous state, and stand in great need of repair; that he hath not in his hands sufficient funds of his said ward, nor are the rents and profits of said buildings sufficient for the repair of the same, and that the sale of said land and buildings would be conducive to the interest of his said ward. Wherefore he prays that he may be empowered to sell and convey said land and buildings, and as in duty bound &c. HUNTING PENHALLOW. Portsmouth, September 14th, 1807.
Rockingham ss. Superior Court, September Term, 1807; ORDERED by the Court, That the petitioner notify all persons concerned to appear before the Justices of the Superior Court of Judicature, to be holden at Portsmouth, within and for the county of Rockingham, on the First Tuesday of February next, to show cause, if any they have, why the prayer of said petition should not be granted—by causing said petition and order of Court thereon, to be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, the last publication whereof to be six weeks before said term. Attest, NATHL. ADAMS, Clerk. Copy examined by NATHL. ADAMS, Clerk.
State of New-Hampshire—Rockingham, ss. To the honorable Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, begun and holden at Exeter, within and for the county of Rockingham aforesaid, on the second Tuesday of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred and seven;
THE petition of the subscribers humbly shews—That a Road, or public Highway, was by your honors on the first Tuesday of January, A. D. 1803, laid out in said town of Pembroke, beginning at Buck-street bridge in Pembroke aforesaid, thence running north seventy degrees west, forty-five rods, across Buck-street to Joseph Jennells' land, thence north seventy degrees west, sixty rods, thence north sixty-two and a half degrees west, fifty six rods, thence north sixty-seven and a quarter degrees west, seventy five rods, thence north fifty-nine degrees west, one hundred and seventeen rods thence north sixty degrees and a quarter west, six hundred and fifty-four rods, thence north fifty-four degrees and a half west, sixty rods, thence north sixty-two degrees and a quarter west, two hundred and sixty-four rods to the highway leading from Pembroke to Concord on the top of Sow-cook hill, thence on said way north thirty degrees west, eighteen rods, thence north seventy-one and a half degrees west, partly upon Elliot's land, fifty-two rods to a stake spotted on four sides standing on the easterly bank of Sow-cook river, which road remains impassable; that it is laid out over such hilly, unsuitable, and bad ground, that the expense of building said road will be to the said town of Pembroke very great; that another road on the easterly part of said Pembroke is laid out, which will shorten the distance from Sow-cook river to Allenstown, and over ground much better for making road; It is believed that the public will be better accommodated in travelling the latter road than the former, and the expense to the town of Pembroke trifling, compared with that of the other; that Turnpike Roads lately built have rendered a multiplication of private roads wholly unnecessary. Your petitioners therefore pray, that your honors would order a continuance of said road leading from Buck-street bridge to said spotted stake on the easterly bank of Sow-cook river aforesaid. And as in duty bound will ever pray. JOHN EVANS, and 83 others.
Rockingham, ss. Court of Common Pleas, August term, 1807.

Attest, N. EMERY, Clerk. Copy examined by N. EMERY, Clerk.

Mr. Printer.—HUNTING & GUNNING, are called manly sports; and why not gouging and bull-baiting? As a philambrophil, I think equally of them all. Not long since I was witness to the murder of a bird!—and my sensibilities being raised, recalled to mind the following extract, as being quite appropos. [Boston Centinel.]
THE STOCK DOVE.
LONELY on the leafless bough, Far from notice, far from noise, Sits the Stock-Dove, bird of woe! Mourning for her absent joys.
Mark that heaving, broken sigh— What expression in that moan! Language cannot reach so high— Nature! it is all thy own.
She is telling all her care— How the cruel sportsman came, Spoil'd her of her true love dear By the morning's early beam.
O the anguish of her heart! Never shall she see him more!— Plaintive thus she sits apart, Telling all her sorrows o'er.
