New German Confederation.
BERLIN, August 25. The organization of the plan of Confederation of the North of Germany is prosecuted with unabated vigor. Baron Haugwitz is gone to Dresden, to stimulate the Elector of Saxony into the measure; and Gen. Rachel to Hesse Cassel, on a similar errand.
Sept. 6. His Majesty will soon repair to the army. Whether to receive them, or to be ready for political events, is not said.
Sweden and Prussia.
HAMBURG, Aug. 25. Extraordinary as it must appear, it is nevertheless a fact, that Prussia has yielded every thing to the spirited and magnanimous King of Sweden. The Prussian troops have quitted the mouth of the Elbe and Weser; and the province of Lauenburg (in Hanover) is restored to the Swedes; who have taken possession of the country in the name of the King of England, as sovereign of Hanover; the Prussian arms have been taken down; and the old order of things restored. On the other hand, the Swedes have raised the blockade of the Prussian ports.
BANKS OF THE MAINE, Aug. 30. The Confederation of the Rhine has been ordered to put in motion its contingent troops. — Prussia has concluded an alliance with Hesse. Russia has 150,000 men on the frontiers of Prussia.
Russia, Prussia, &c.
BERLIN, Aug. 27, 1806. The most active correspondence is kept up between our cabinet, the Northern Courts of Europe, and Paris. It is reported, that Gen. Knobelsdorf is to be sent to Paris, as Envoy Extraordinary. The intercourse with Russia is carried on by letters written by the King and Emperor.
Travellers from Russia announce, that from Petersburg to Russian Poland, there are camps and magazines.
It is said, our Cabinet has declared to a certain foreign Court, that our military preparations are merely defensive; and communications between the French and Prussian Generals are frequent.
The Prince of Hohenlohe is to command the army in Silesia; Prince Ferdinand the one near Magdeburg.
Among the additional troops ordered to be revived in Russia are 11 regiments of infantry, 6 of dragoons, and 6 of rangers.
LEIPSICK (Saxony) Aug. 29. The Emperor of Russia by a special Ukase, has ordered the Russian army to be augmented to 500,000 men.
There are 40,000 men on the frontier of Moldavia; 40,000 near Galicia, and 150,000 near Polish Prussia.
Sept. 4. Every week Russian and Prussian couriers pass here with dispatches.
They write from Russia, that M. d'Oubril is dismissed from the Emperor's councils.
Italy.

Messina, July 30.
Gen. Fox has arrived here as Commander in Chief of the British troops. He has appointed Gen. Stuart, to conduct the war in the Two Calabrias.
France.
PARIS, Sept. 5. The treaty of peace between France and Russia has not been ratified by the Emperor Alexander. The official journal of to day contains, on this subject, the following details: —
Of the Negotiation with Russia. The peace of Presburg, the treaty of alliance between Russia and France, and, above all, the moral, political and military consequences of the battle of Austerlitz, have rendered Russia most completely impotent to disturb the repose of the continent, which was all that France desired.
"We have waited, with as much intrepidity as patience, to know what steps would be taken by the court of Russia, when Mr. D'Oubril arrived at Vienna: that minister presented himself to M. de la Rochefoucauld, and demanded passports for Paris.
"M. de la Rochefoucauld had to wait for authority. He acquired his court with the request of the Russian minister, and he received orders to furnish Mr. Oubril with passports immediately; but although it has always been the intention of the Emperor not to permit Russia to intermeddle imperiously in those interests which are not within the sphere of her power; and in difficulties foreign to her localities, he did not the less desire a reconciliation which might be useful to both states.
"Mr. D'Oubril arrived at Paris the 9th of July: he presented himself to the minister of exterior relations, and after several conversations he exhibited the full powers by which he was authorized, in a form the most complete and extensive to negotiate, conclude and sign a peace between the two states.
"On the report that was made to the Emperor, his majesty named for his minister plenipotentiary General Clarke, counsellor of state and secretary of the cabinet, charged to treat, conclude and sign, in virtue of powers corresponding with those of M. d'Oubril, a peace with the Emperor of Russia.
"The plenipotentiaries devoted themselves with a regular and uninterrupted attention, to the business of the mission with which they were charged—and at length, after a great number of conferences, Peace was signed on the 10th July; when that treaty shall become known, all Europe will bear testimony that the peace was equally honorable to both powers.
"Hostilities were immediately to cease, and did cease on the part of France. The ratifications were to have been exchanged on the 15th of August and no doubt could arise against the exchange, because the negotiators were known to have long enjoyed the confidence of their sovereigns. They had acted according to their precise instructions; they had negotiated in virtue of complete and positive powers; and not, as it often
happens in negotiations, were the negotiators ignorant, whether they have sufficient authority, with the clause of sub spe ratificationis .
"Nevertheless, M. Ruffin, chancellor to the consulate of France in Russia, arrived yesterday from Petersburg, and brings the news that in consequence of a change of ministers, by the effect of new principles in the Russian government, and by the extraordinary ascendancy which the English interest has obtained from that circumstance in the new cabinet, the treaty of the 20th July has not been ratified.
"Hostilities between France and Russia are therefore to recommence. The men who preside over the discord of nations, and who make a jest of prolonging or of multiplying the fatal epochs of war and of the disturbance of states, are highly enraged. The conquerors of Ulm and of Austerlitz are again assembled under their standards, and near the field of their triumphs. Greater in number, more formidable than ever, by that organization which has never been equalled, and will never be rivalled; they wait with impatient hope the impulse of the great soul that animates them.
"Yet nothing can make us presume upon the renewal of the continental war. The destiny of states is the secret of Providence; their happiness and their glory are in the wisdom of governments.
"In all cases, the Emperor, with the French people, are prepared for every event—and the armies of his majesty will every where find themselves combatting to consolidate repose and a durable and glorious peace.
FULL POWERS OF M. D'OUBRIL.
WE Alexander I. Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. Feeling constantly a solicitude for the preservation of tranquillity in Europe, and animated with a sincere desire to put an end to the misunderstanding and to re-establish harmony with France upon a solid basis, have thought good to commit that care to a person enjoying our confidence. For this purpose we have made choice of our beloved and faithful PIERRE OUBRIL our Counsellor of State, and Knight of the Orders of Saint Wolodimir of the third class, of St. Anne the second, and of St. John of Jerusalem, whom we chose, name and authorize by these presents, for the purpose of attaining that end, to enter into conferences with him or them who shall be sufficiently authorized on the part of the French Government to conclude and sign with them an act or convention on a suitable basis to consolidate the peace which shall be established between Russia and France, as well as to pave the way for a reconciliation between the other high belligerent powers of Europe.
"We promise upon our imperial word, to have for good and to execute faithfully, all that which shall have been decreed and signed by our said plenipotentiary; and to give our Imperial ratification within the term which shall have been promised.
"In faith of which we have signed this full power, and affixed to it the seal of our empire.
"Given at St. Petersburg, 30th April, 1806, and of our reign the 6th. (Signed) ALEXANDER. (Counter-Signed.)
"Prince ADAM CZARTORISKI. "Certified, by translation, conformable to the original, PIERRE D'OUBRIL."
PARIS, Sept. 9. The refusal of the Emperor of Russia to ratify d'Oubril's treaty, has not yet been followed by the rupture of the English Negotiation, but slight hopes of peace however, remain. The troops which had returned from Germany have been ordered to face to the right about and the troops which had entered France are to proceed to Germany again.
GENOA, August 27. By reports from Naples, up to the 19th inst. we learn that Marshal Massena, obtained a complete victory over a corps of English and insurgents, killed 6,000 and taken a great number of prisoners. We wait with impatience the confirmation and details of this glorious action.
LONDON, Sept. 8. A Messenger from Paris arrived yesterday.
Sept. 11. A messenger from Lord Lauderdale arrived in town this morning. No messenger has been sent to France for the last three days. It is supposed Ministers delay sending a Messenger with the expectation that they shall, in a few hours, have to transmit the affecting news of the decease of Mr. Fox.
Sept. 15. On Saturday, the 13th inst. in the afternoon, that great and illustrious statesman, CHARLES JAMES FOX, yielded his last breath in the arms of his nephew Lord Holland.
The following persons are talked of as his successors: — The Marquis Wellesley, Lord Holland, Mr. T. Grenville and Lord Lauderdale.
Mr. Fox was in his 58th year. He was elected to Parliament before he was of age, acted with the then Ministers, and his first speech was against Wilkes. He was often in and out of the Ministry.
Last night a messenger left town for Paris. He will carry the news of the death of Mr. Fox.
The embarkation of troops for foreign service is renewed with increased activity. An order has been received at the Dock Yard, Portsmouth, to communicate how soon the flat bottomed boats, which are usually employed in disembarking troops, can be got ready for service.
The boats of the Haughty, gun brig, have recently cut out of port 8 Spanish loaded vessels. She has, in her last cruise, destroyed 12 or 14 other vessels.
An attempt to cut out Jerome's ship Veteran, we have every reason to believe, has ere this been made by two of our frigates.
Price of Stocks—Consols 63 3/4. Omnium 7 3/4. Omnium on the 13th was at 8 3/4.
The reason given by Alexander for his refusal to ratify the treaty with France, is that d'Oubril had acted entirely contrary to his instructions ; but His Imperial Majesty declares he is willing to renew the negotiations. [St. Petersburg—Official.]
Sept. 18. We have Paris papers to the 11th, and Dutch to the 15th. All the military movements indicate approaching war.
Capture of Buenos Ayres.
The official news of the capture of Buenos Ayres is received. It capitulated on the 27th of June. There fell into the hands of the English 1,291,338 dollars, in silver and bullion. Gen. Beresford, has issued a Proclamation as Lt. Governor. And promises to allow a free trade to all nations in amity with England.
The trade of Buenos Ayres is to be put on the same footing, by promise, as that of Trinidad.
It was estimated that the merchandise in the king's stores, principally jesuits bark and quick silver; and what is in the Phillipine Company's stores; with the little that is retained of floating property; would amount, if it could be disposed of, to between 2 and 3 millions of dollars. Of the Bullion delivered in some was claimed as private property, and was to be restored—and 10 of some of the money.
90 pieces of ordnance, 550 whole barrels powder, 2203 muskets with bayonets, 71 without bayonets, 616 carbines, 4079 pistols, 31 musketoons, and 1237 swords—were taken at Buenos Ayres. The English had one man killed, 12 wounded, and 1 was missing.
In the capitulation, the 1st article provides that the Spanish troops shall be prisoners of war, allow native and domiciliated officers and soldiers to remain—the 2d art. promises respect to all private property, civil, military or religious—3d, promises protection to the people, and that they shall not be compelled to bear arms against His Catholic Majesty—4th, continues the civil officers in commission, and promises respect to existing customs—5th, provides for the safety of the public archives—6th, continues the taxes and appropriations as heretofore—7th, assures respect to the Catholic Religion—8th, continues the Ecclesiastical Court—9th, directs the delivery of coasting vessels to their owners—10th, agrees that all the public property shall be delivered to the English.
In Gen. Beresford's letter to the Secretary of State, announcing the capture of Buenos Ayres, he mentions that the whole force under his command was 1621, with 3 five and a half inch howitzers, and 2 light 3 pounders. The Spanish regular force consisted of 2000, and opposed the advance of the British a short time at the village of Reducion, and at the river Chuelo, at which latter place they had destroyed the bridge. Their loss was always ill directed, and did little or no execution.
Gen. Beresford, in one of his letters, says, that after the passage of the river Chuelo, the city of Buenos remained at his mercy, and that the only conditions on which he entered were such as he pleased to offer. The coasting vessels released were valued at a million and a half of dollars. The British had made an expedition 50 miles into the interior, had found the dispositions of the people favorable to the British, and had recovered considerable treasure which persons were endeavoring to carry to Cordova.
LONDON, SEPT. 7. A supplement to the London Gazette Extraordinary was published yesterday, containing many official dispatches from Italy, and announcing the
SURRENDER OF COTRONA to a detachment of the forces under Sir John Stuart, commanded by Capt. Hooke, of the Navy and Lt. Col. M.Leod, of the 78th regt. Gen. Fox in his letter mentions, that this detachment was sent to support the armed neutrality on the coast. The capitulation was signed the 30th July; the French were allowed the honors of war, and sent to Messina, as prisoners of war. Officers allowed their side arms. Private property respected, &c. — Forty pieces of cannon, with 600 troops, magazines, &c. were found in Cotrona. It appears by these letters that Gen. Stuart was at Messina, the 3d August, 1806, so that his foreign left Calabria is certain.
Foreign Expeditions.
LONDON, Sept. 15. The embarkation of troops for foreign service, is renewed with increased activity. The transports are immediately to proceed to Falmouth, where they are to sail under convoy of the squadron commanded by Admiral LOUIS.
If the arrival and departure of ordinary and extraordinary messengers could give any data on which to make calculations, the public uncertainty would speedily be at an end—Almost every day a Messenger arrives from, or is despatched to Paris, England, Petersburg, or Copenhagen, all bearing matters of "great pith and moment."
From a Liverpool paper of Sept. 3.
The French have seized on the Austrian towns of Goritz and Gradisca, on the Lisonzo, in Friuli, and sworn the public functionaries to pay allegiance to the French government. No motive has been assigned for this seizure. Some conceive that it was designed to hasten the consent of Austria to some matters under negotiation with France. — Others suppose it was intended to check some military proceedings of Austria which had excited the jealousy of Bonaparte. To remove all jealousy on this head, the archduke Charles has determined that not even the usual camps of exercise shall be formed this year. It is evident from all these circumstances, that all the continent enjoys but a very precarious peace, dependant on the will and pleasure of Bonaparte. Austria in particular is in a state of continued terror; subject every moment to have its patience tried by new insults and invasions, and not secured from alarm by the most immediate submission to every command, and the most prompt compliance with every requisition. It is stated that Bonaparte has proposed to the court of Vienna to cede the maritime part of Camiola to the kingdom of Italy, for an equivalent. The seizure of Goritz and Gradisca is probably meant to expedite this cession. It seems as if Bonaparte wished to force this humbled and reduced power, by a continuance of intolerable outrages in a new war, for the purpose of totally extinguishing it. What effect these proceedings may have on our negotiations, we cannot say; but we have no hesitation in declaring, that unless the French government resolves unequivocally to desist from this conduct, there can be no peace with it. The present peace of the continent is worse than no peace.
BY THE MAILS.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 20.
A man was apprehended in this city on Saturday for passing counterfeit bank notes to the amount of 500 dollars. He had purchased goods at the store of Mr. John King in Broadway; and to meet the expence of this purchase had deposited the bills in one of the banks, where the fraud was detected. He is the person mentioned in this paper on Saturday as having lately arrived at Baltimore from England. The bills, we understand, were intended to represent the notes of the Baltimore Branch Bank, and were ingeniously executed.
BOSTON, OCTOBER 24.
Extract of a letter from Exuma, dated the 16th Sept.
"We have had two very severe hurricanes here, one on the 30th Aug. which continued five hours, and blew down nearly all the cotton machines on both Exumas; the other on the 13th instant, from the N. and N. W. which lasted fourteen hours, and the damage occasioned by it on this island is very extensive.
A list of the persons, who resided at the N. W. end of Eleuthera, one of the Bahama islands, who left their lives in a storm of Sept. 14, has been published. The number is 35, including 11 children. Not a house was left standing, and only 17 of the inhabitants are living, and they are upon a hill surrounded with water, and without shelter or provisions. The number of houses destroyed on Harbor island, from an accurate return, is 119.
SALEM, OCT. 30.
MELANCHOLY.
The ship Essex, Orne, of Salem, having arrived at Mocha, with 60,000 dollars, to purchase a cargo of Coffee, and finding none could be had at market, was at a loss how to proceed, when an English merchant advised him to proceed 60 miles further up to a town called Hadido, where he said coffee could be obtained at a lower rate than at Mocha, and offered to go and execute the whole business for only 2 1/2 per cent commission. This advice was agreed to. The pirate Mahomed Ikle, who was at Mocha at the time, by some means came to the knowledge of all these circumstances, and had the address to persuade Capt. Orne to receive on board about 30 of his crew to help to navigate the vessel, and pilot her to Hadido. The Essex failed in company with the pirate's ship; night approached, but alas! not one of the unfortunate crew were fated to behold their country again, or the sight of another day. At a given signal the pirates on board fell upon the crew with their knives, the Corsair ranged along side, and in a few minutes not an American was left to tell the sad tale of their destruction. The headless body of the captain, and mutilated carcase of the Englishman, floated on shore, and being recognized received the rites of burial in a far distant land. The Essex was plundered and burnt. This Mahomed Ikle falls in a strong well armed vessel, with a numerous crew, made up of fanatics like himself, and enemies to every nation, excepting their own, the Wahabees. Mahomed is said to be distinguished for his enormities on the Red Sea.
In our domestic affairs, we have many circumstances which afford pleasing relief to the public mind. The general opinion is favourable to a speedy adjustment of our affairs with England, by which Commerce may be free from many embarrassments it now feels. The persons appointed upon this business in the English nation, appear to have a full share of the public confidence. The English minister is hourly expected. From Louisiana, we are led to believe that we not only have no just reason to fear at present an attack from the Spaniards, but that we may be confident that the Spanish commander has disavowed any purpose of hostilities. This information will enable the public mind more calmly to examine the history of Kentucky, and of the associations formed in that country, and will enable us to dispose our troops so as effectually to guard against any discontent of the natives. This event will also give courage to the spirit of enterprise and of discovery, and assist the many adventurers in accomplishing the design of opening the resources of the vast country of North America to the view of the world. (Salem Register.)
The Informant, a Gazette printed at Danville, Kentucky, says, "Aaron Burr, after passing through Pittsburg, &c. incognitus , has made his appearance in this country. We hope he will be watched as his character requires, and as the state of the western country demands." — This vigilance will probably give us early notice of any serious designs to disturb the general tranquility.
PORTSMOUTH.
Tuesday, November 4, 1806.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
London dated to the 18th September, by many days the latest from England, have been received since our last. The European prospects of Peace were rapidly disappearing. The refusal of the Russian Emperor to ratify the preliminaries signed by his Minister D'Oubril, at Paris is fully confirmed. — The language and conduct of both cabinets demonstrated, that the war between Russia and France, at least must continue.
The refusal of Russia to ratify D'Oubril's treaty, had not, at the last dates, broken up the negotiation between France and England. — Lord Lauderdale continued at Paris 10 days after the refusal was officially promulgated. Still however the hopes of the friends of Peace became daily more and more faint. — Mr. FOX died the 13th September; and the intelligence of the event probably reached Paris on the 17th, in company no doubt with an order to Lord Lauderdale to bring the negotiation to a close, or quit France.
FROM FRANCE.
An arrival at New-York from Bordeaux, brings intelligence from that place to the 17th September, in which it is stated, that Austria and Prussia had joined in the Coalition against France.
The "thoughts and reflections" of Fisher Ames, originally published in the Repertory, and now circulating in most of the federal papers, are the thoughts and reflections of an inconsistent man — of a traitor, and an enemy to his country.
The principle objects of these "thoughts and reflections" are to persuade Americans that Great Britain, in her contest with France, is fighting for our liberty! (yes, the nation which plunders our property, impresses and murders our seamen, contending for our liberty! ! ! ) — that France is disposed to invade us — that she probably will invade us — that if she does invade us, in case of the conquest of Britain it will be in vain for us even to prepare for resistance — that allowing our militia to be the bravest in the world, our country is utterly incapable of a military resistance — that no militia can do any thing against veteran troops — and that our government is so weak, cowardly and inefficient, that it will not if it can, nor cannot if it will, protect us! ! !
Is this such language as ought to be held by Americans — especially by a man who at the same moment declares the imminent danger our country is in from France? Is the moment of Danger a time to tell the world that our strength is not competent to resist aggression; and that our government is too weak and cowardly to improve even the little strength we have? is this the language of patriotism, or of treason?
Fisher Ames exhibits a repetition of abuse against our government, of the most malignant kind; almost every late act of administration he represents as base or foolish, extorted by the fear of war or expense.
How becoming are such remarks from one who, on the question of ratifying the British treaty in Congress, made the fear of British wrath a principle point of his argument in favor of ratification — who does not remember his flowery description of savage warfare upon our frontiers, which he said would be renewed with accumulated horror, at the instigation of British agents, if the treaty was not ratified? Our children see it almost every day in Webster's collection. How consistent and becoming is it in this man to talk of the infamy of our government in being awed into measures, and submitting to restrictions through fear! [Witness.]
The writer of "thoughts and reflections," after labouring to establish the danger of our being invaded by France, remarks thus —
"Resistance if any could be made, "must be made by the people — by INDIVIDUALS — NOT BY ORDER OF GOVERNMENT." ! ! !
Here is a friend of order for you — who recommends to the people a course of conduct, which if followed would, by the laws of our country, subject them to trial for high misdemeanor, if not for treason! ! !
Here is a supporter of law, good government and religion, instigating the people to levy war without the consent of their legitimate government — in defiance of the laws of the land! ! !
Can the inculcators of such principles be friendly to their country?
But why am I surprised? This is no novelty. The same leaders of the same party declared, several years ago, that the people of the western states ought to wait no longer for the protection of a "tardy and pusillanimous government," but proceed to New Orleans of their own accord, and take it by force of arms!
The inculcation of such principles is pregnant with terrible evils, and ought to be discountenanced. [Ibid.]

THE TOP.
AH! only look! there goes a top! As nice a thing as e'er did hop, And dangle round a lady! A dainty, dapper bit of man, As fine as spangles on a fan! Or pinks upon a May-day. See how it flaunts about and flares, And how it ogles, winks and flares, With painted cheeks so rosy! All essenc'd up with Bergamot, Powder'd, pomatum'd and what not, O, what a pretty pish. See round, and round, and round it skips, To twenty lovely ladyships, And chatters like a pie, for it talks as much, as tho' the brains Its little squally head contains, Would fill misquetoed's eye, sir. Now see it balance up to Sue, And now it tramps away to Prue, And now sets out to flask a Minute—the fiddle squalls; Grand as a turkey cock it sets, With Miss Keturah Gawkey! And now with deary, down it squats, And chats and grins, and grins and chats, Like some baboon's relation, And bless us, look, what loving works! One simpers, and the other smirks, All flummery and flirtation. "But," quoth Tom Tawdry, "mark how well Sir Popping suits each dashing belle— Your railing, I'm afraid is The effect of disappointed spleen, Because the beau is foremost seen In favor of the ladies." He pleads the ladies! very good; Why then I wouldn't if I could, So notable my spunk is; Pd let them sooner seek gallants From Afric's coast, or that of France, Brijk Sans Culottes—or monkies.
Timothy Dexter.
We noticed in our last the death of this singular man. The following sketch of his life and character is copied from the Newburyport Herald:— Departed this life, on Wednesday the 22d ult. Mr. TIMOTHY DEXTER, in the 60th year of his age.—Self styled "Lord Dexter, first in the East." He lived perhaps one of the most eccentric men of his time. His singularities and peculiar notions were universally proverbial. Born and bred in a low condition in life, and his intellectual endowments not being of the most exalted stamp, it is no wonder that a splendid fortune, which he acquired (though perhaps honestly) by dint of speculation and good fortune, should have rendered him, in many respects, truly ridiculous.—The qualities of his mind were of that order of character, which forms an exception to every other character recorded in history, or known in the present age, and "none but himself could be his parallel." But among the motley groups of his qualities, it would be injustice to say he possessed no good ones—he certainly did. No one will impeach his honesty, and his numerous acts of liberality, both public and private, are in the recollection of all, while one of the items in his last Will, will be gratefully remembered. His ruling passion appeared to be popularity; & one would suppose he rather chose to render his name "infamously famous, than not famous at all." His writings stand as a monument of the truth of this remark; for those who have read his "Pickle for the Knowing Ones," a jumble of letters promiscuously hove together, find it difficult to determine whether most to laugh at the consummate folly, or despise the vulgarity and profanity of the writer. His manner of life was equally extravagant and singular. A few years since he erected in front of his house, a great number of images, of distinguished persons in Europe and America, together with beasts, &c. so that his feat exhibited more the appearance of a museum of artificial curiosities, than the dwelling of a family. By his orders a tomb was several years since dug under the summer-house in his garden, where he desired his remains might be deposited (but this singular request could not consistently be complied with) and his coffin made and kept in the hall of his house, in which he is to be buried. The fortunate and singular manner of his speculations, by which he became possessed of a handsome property, are well known, and his sending a cargo of warming pans to the West-Indies, where they were converted into molasses ladles, and sold to good profit, is but one of the most peculiar.—His principles of religion (if they could be called principles) were equally odd; a blind philosophy peculiar to himself, led him to believe in the system of transmigration, at some times; at others he expressed those closely connected with deism; but it is not matter of surprise that one so totally illiterate, should have no settled or rational principles.—His reason left him two days before his death, but he has gone to render an account of his life to a just and merciful Judge.
