Political Miscellany.
From the Chronicle. To JOHN ADAMS, Esq.—No. III.
SIR, HAVING travelled through the leading sentiments of your extraordinary Letter, I shall not be detained by inferior criticisms, but close with a few remarks.
Without professing your lordly and sovereign contempt of the people, I am duly sensible that popular applause is often unmerited and obtained by stratagem—but I confess that this instance in yourself is almost unparalleled. It was believed by the people of Massachusetts, that your administration would be marked with the liberal maxims of polity, which are the foundation of national grandeur & success. It was believed that you had high notions of public faith, and in political concerns were manly and generous. It was hardly credible that intolerance would arm itself with the sword of authority, and unrelentingly persecute every difference of opinion from the leading satrap. Political liberality is not, you well know, incompatible with domestic frugality—with the “res angustas domi.” You have been a lawyer, Sir, and you cannot but remember the great and eloquent Lord Hardwicke—he was an able, learned and inflexible statesman. Without any humiliation of his character in these points, where comparison would be an insult, you certainly possess some qualities in common with him. Lord Hardwicke is said too frequently to have sacrificed the public integrity to the promotion of his friends, and the gratification of his own avarice. But I return from these unfruitful speculations, where disappointment has added indignation to disgust—and former error has given poignancy to present incredulity.
The first alarms respecting your designs, were not before repeated executive persecution had taught the people that none could hope for favor but those who were willing to march in the line of Monarchy, or, as it was archly termed, “a strong government.” Theoretic opinions which has been denounced as seditious, were now for the first time clothed in the substantial forms of authority—executive patronage was extended—new offices created to gratify needy supporters—unusual and wanton expenditures of public money encouraged—excise and other taxes multiplied—a standing army embodied, to feed on the treasury and overawe the people—a public debt of many millions contracted, to protect the administration by the influence of monied speculators—in fine, to swell executive triumph, alien and sedition laws were enacted to gratify the malignity of revenge and secure an impenetrable darkness over the operations of the cabinet. These are a few of those measures, which were precursors of the blessings of Monarchy, and which will remain everlasting monuments of your political dexterity. Happily for mankind, infallibility had long been confined to the Catholic Religion—it was reserved for a Republican age to witness its arrogant vindication in politics. The People have now awakened from these dreams of delusion, and the character of Mr. Adams, is as clear before them as it can be. Its intricacies have been explored, and its vices detected. Your administration is a copious comment on the text of your Letter, and it is scarcely complete justice to declare that the comment is as flagitious, as the text is insidious.
But, Sir, what unaccountable madness could have induced you to a publication of it at this moment? Surely a malignant destiny guides your fate—your own senses seem to conspire against you. The kindness of friends is not unfrequently the bitterest reproach; but this self-condemnation is worse than suicide. There are certain dishonorable scars, which should be concealed as well from friends as enemies. But for the misguided zeal of a Draper, the follies of Lord Granby had enjoyed a happy quietus.—They are now damned to all posterity. It is a new species of defence, where the victim accuses himself and disdains mercy at the very moment he pleads for it. Did you indeed believe that your popularity was still high, though the national voice had degraded you
from public life? Did you venture to presume that your opinions would weigh down the public judgment? Did you hope for a momentary elevation among those who approve your politics, but despise your character? Did you hope a short respite from Republican scorn, by evading the poignancy of conviction by a pusillanimous defence? Indeed, Sir, indeed you have been egregiously deceived. Your friends have over-rated your judgment or over-burdened your credulity. Let me, whom you may perhaps consider your enemy, disclose the truth. “Fas est etiam ab hoste doceri.” The public duly appreciate your services and your failings. The Federalists (tho’ I mean, who hold the high Tory principles) ridicule your weakness, at the moment they make you the tool of their designs. They think a few deluded ignorant men still linger in your service. The price of a vote can hardly be too dear; and the mean courtesy of a day is, an easy purchase. On election days the name of Mr. Adams figures considerably—it struts about, dressed “in the brief authority” of a newspaper—receives the homage of capitals, and like other stage puppets, is dismissed at the close of the farce. Sometimes you receive on the same account invitations to public dinners, where sneers of contempt are but illy disguised in professions of respect, and whispers of detraction are circulated under the gravity of insinuated failing. Such are the Federalists, your worst, your implacable enemies.—The Republicans are not indifferent. They revere your revolutionary services, and lament your subsequent desertion of its principles. They wish you as much peace as your conscience will allow, In the silence of declining age, with an honour tarnished and debased, they wish not to increase your melancholy reflections. No—Republican vengeance wars not with the fallen and the dead. The remaining years of your life can be but few; it would be a refinement in cruelty to shorten them. It shall not be said they persecuted a defenceless old man, when abandoned by his former friends; to serve whom, like Wolfe, he had ruined himself. It was considered a misfortune for SWIFT to survive his intellect, and the Prince of CONDE his military glory. But they did not survive their virtues. Their dotage was undisturbed by the insults of alienated friends, or the terrible execrations of an offended nation. They travelled quietly to their graves, and in the moment of their internment their frailties were forgotten. No sullen disappointment embittered their fall. They died guiltless; and their honors thickened on their sepulchres. Not so are the records of national calamity. The author is pursued with untimely execration. His deeds blacken on the pages of history, and with a nation's miseries descend polluted to the latest posterity. Unfortunate lot! For my own part, I would willingly, if it were possible, commit an Anachronism, and believe that Mr. Adams died in 1789—before the dazzlings of a British Court had corrupted his love of liberty—before the pomp of power had enlisted him among the advocates of Monarchy—before the love of domination had promoted him to betray the Constitution—before his elevation to the Presidency had made him the pliant archer of wicked intriguers—before Hamilton had developed his inconsistency, his vanity, his jealousy and his want of discretion—but above all, before he had written his letter of Nobility to his patriotic compeer. All however is vain—Mr. Adams has lived too long for his own glory, and long enough to witness the vindication of the liberties, which he abandoned, in the returning prosperity of his country.
But, Sir, I hasten to conclude with you forever. I have no personal acquaintance or enmity with you. Not a line of these letters has been written from malice, disappointment or revenge. I have written freely as a man, honestly as a republican, and firmly as a lover of my country. If I have misinterpreted your sentiments, I solemnly declare it has been undesigned. As I believe, so have I stated, your opinions.—God forbid my pen should ever be used to injure the innocent or conceal the guilty. More might have been said with truth, less could not consistent with integrity or
justice. In the sacredness of honour I believe that you have deserted the cause of liberty and mankind. If I am wrong, let the public punish me with contempt—if I am right, then shall my country acquit me of injustice or calumny. Inconceivable violence has been done to my feelings in thus assuming the harsh tone of accusation. But it became a sacred duty. For abler men have declined the task; & its execution fell inevitably upon those who with less ability have more anxiety for public good. I could with forever to retire from the field of political controversy. If it be irksome to the patriotic, it is still more so to the generous, mind. But, when liberty when right is invaded, confined as are my talents, I shall not forget that I am an American,—small as is my voice, it shall reach the traitor in his toils, and the royalist in his conspiracies. MUTIUS SCÆVOLA.
THE TORY LAMENTATION.
We, the well-born, and ever thy most faithful friends, most solemnly lament O King!—there ever was such a thing in the world as a Democrat. We lament there ever was a Hancock, Samuel Adams, Franklin, or a Washington to traitorously step forward against thee our beloved king; and in destruction of thy just power over this country. We lament, moreover, from our souls, that there ever was a Jefferson to draw up that most detestable instrument of writing called “The Declaration of Independence.” We lament, that thou hadst not more loyal and dutiful subjects in America, in the time of need; to aid abet and support, as did our brethren, the refugees, thy most merciful humane and Christian armies in the expiration of our brothers, fathers, and mothers, who dared to oppose thy lenient and just measures. We lament there was national wisdom enough found in thy united and ungrateful provinces, O king! to see and feel their own debasement and humiliated condition under thy blessed yoke. We lament, jointly, with our souls full of sorrow, for the cursed Mania for equal liberty which made its appearance and raged on the 4th day of July, 1776. We lament for the ill and untimely fate of thy triumphant armies under Lord Cornwallis and his defeat and capture by the sons of democracy. We lament, we have never had it in our power since, by all our secret schemes and stratagems to bring us back under thy fatherly protection and mild government—“the most stupendous fabric of human invention.” We lament the absence of our dearly-beloved, and well chosen brothers and companions in the cause of subjugation of America to thee. Peter Porcupine, Joe Thomas, Dr. Romaine, and Billy Blount, of daring memory. We lament above all, most glorious sovereign, the success of the democrats, in the year 1799, in Pennsylvania, in the election of thy firm, fixed and eternal enemy, Thomas M’Kean, governor. We lament the election of Thomas Jefferson, in 1800, the constant and steady friend of the people, as President of the United States. We lament that under them, all our brother Haiper's clues and tales of tuts, &c. have been found to be nothing but empty sounds. Lisbonian bubbles. We lament the loss of our “up to the hub” governor of Pittsburg, with thy midnight President; and most heartily deprecate the election of Jefferson the poor man's friend and benefactor. We lament that under the republican administration of Jefferson and M’Kean we have lost all the blessings of thy most pure and precious government—such as enormous public debts, standing armies, stamp acts, direct taxes, speculations on the public funds; and above all, that we did not plunder the “Swinish Multitude” more, before the triumph of republicanism. And finally, we, a small remnant of thy most faithful friends and children, O king! now lament, and ever shall, the decline and downfall of thee and thine, in this beautiful and vastly fine country—and that it is now too late, and thy cause too well understood by all the “beggars and knaves” in America, who have “uniformly opposed it,” ever to succeed in the establishment of our desirable object—thy most gracious cause. E. PLURIBUS UNUM.

Fellow-Citizens,
THE greatest share of abuse that president Jefferson has received from his opponents, is in consequence of his removing 30 or 40 of them from office. They have ransacked the dictionary, for words sufficiently communicative to convey their hatred. They refer you to the administration of Mr. Adams for evidence of federal moderation, and call your attention to the present for republican persecution.
We will look back to the former administration—what a prospect it presents. There we see federalism—there we see federal moderation. Almost all the offices in the hands of this "federal," not an instance of a republican being appointed, but those that were in office, and dared to speak their sentiments, were immediately dismissed.—This is federal consistency—this is the party that cry out so much against persecution—O shame! shame!
I would ask this modest party, why Mr. Jefferson was elected to the office he now holds? Had not the government got corrupt—and was not he chosen to cleanse it? It he was elected upon the principle of reformation, he is doing his duty, and all that the people have reason to complain of is, that his reforming hand moves too slow; for without an equal share of republicans in office the wheels of government will be clogged, and nothing can be expected but confusion.
Look at the federal papers that were published at the time Mr. Adams conducted the affairs of state; see what arguments they brought forward, to excuse his turning out what few republicans there was in office. There they represented that it was necessary to have all in the subordinate offices, of the same principles of the executive. They said that it was impossible for the main wheel to go, if it was clogged by the assistants; and yet they have the face to come forward (notwithstanding most of the offices are in the hands of their party) and rail against Mr. Jefferson for disturbing any of them. Reflecting men must see the inconsistency of this party; and it must prove to them, that they catch at any thing that they think will tend, in the least, to prejudice the people against the president.
Perhaps there never was an instance of so much lenity being shewn, by the executive of any free people, as in the instance of Mr. Jefferson. Thousands of offices are at his disposal, and yet he suffers his opponents to enjoy the most of them, and all the satisfaction he receives for his moderation, is a continual pouring in of abuse from all quarters. This is the reward he receives from this ungrateful party. This is the reward bestowed by the men that eat the bread of the public; and who depend upon the President for that bread. If this is not enough to astonish every thinking citizen, I know not what is.
What would have been the consequence if Mr. Adams had come into office under the embarrassments that Mr. Jefferson did?—Would he not by a bold stroke have turned all his opponents from the offices at his disposal? No one perhaps can tell, but every one can judge. If he was afraid to trust a few, it is to be supposed that he would trust many that differed from him in principle? No. The supposition would be unnatural and unjust. And the more this party abuse Mr. Jefferson for doing what is his duty, the greater share they had ought to have of the contempt of the people; for to do one thing, and complain of their opponents for doing the same, is logic which no one will swallow but the most violent enemies of the people.
From the Mirror.
I hold it to be sound policy in this young and thriving country, to give every encouragement to American manufactures, in order that we may be enabled to purchase within ourselves, and of one another as it were, those articles, which otherwise the cash must be sent out of our country to procure. How different from this principle was the practice of the federalists. They excised carriages, snuff, refined sugar, &c. manufactured at home. They laid such a tax upon the best efforts of the genius and industry of the country as was calculated to give foreigners the advantage, by compelling us to drain our drawers of cash to import articles, which had they not been taxed, would have been made at home.—Now forsooth that this system, so injurious to the manufacturing interest, is destroyed, they wish to conceal from the public view, the principles which for the good of the country, demanded that they should no longer exist. If it had continued, whenever any manufacture had become an object, it would have been taxed. We should very soon have been hats, shoes, &c. subjects of taxation. How many millions of dollars are annually sent out of the country to purchase of spirituous liquors? And yet, (tho' no advocate for their improper use) if they are to be drunk, what a saving of cash, if they were furnished within ourselves. The duty on imported loaf sugar remains the same, while the tax is taken off of that, which American enterprise and industry manufactures, in order to encourage our own citizens.
Foreign Articles.
London Prints to the evening of the 26th of Aug. are received at the office of the mercantile advertiser, we are compelled to confine our selections to the following brief summary, which contains an abstract of all the intelligence in the "Courier" of the 26th. The plan of the indemnities in Germany, is at length settled, and has received the sanction of the French Government.
Price of Stocks:—3 per cent. Consols 68, 67 3/4; 3 per cent. Reduces 68; Omnium 93, 10 3/4 disc.
LONDON, AUG. 26.—We received this morning the Paris Papers to the 24th instant. They are full of important intelligence.
On Saturday last Bonaparte repaired with extraordinary magnificence to the Senate, which held its first sitting in the form and manner established by the Organic Senatus Consultum. Several plans of Senatus Consultum, discussed in a Privy Council, were presented to the Senate. One of them relates to the selection of twenty principal cities of the Republic, the Mayors of which are to be present at the taking of the oath by the Citizen who should be named to succeed the First Consul. It may be inferred from this, that the successor will soon be declared. The Minister for Foreign Affairs then read a report upon the indemnities, and the declaration agreed by Russia and France, to be presented to the Diet of Ratisbon.
This declaration contains a detailed and specific account of the particular indemnities to be granted to each of the German States. There are to be the new Electors, the Margrave of Baden, Duke of Wirtemberg, and the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel. There is to be one Ecclesiastical Elector.
The Bishopric of Osnaburgh is to belong in perpetuity to the Elector of Hanover, if he abandons his pretensions to Hildesheim, Corvey and Hoexter, and other districts.
Toussaint Louverture has been ordered to Paris, under a strong escort of dragoons. Upon the seizure and stoppage of English newspapers at Paris, the French journals are totally silent; but our Dover letter confirms the intelligence.
A mail from Lisbon arrived this morning, and has brought the extraordinary intelligence, that in consequence of some misunderstanding between the French and Portuguese Governments, Gen. Lasnes, the French Minister at the latter Court, quitted Lisbon very hastily on the morning of the 10th instant, in consequence the packet was detained two days longer than otherwise would have been. The Portuguese appeared to be much alarmed at his sudden departure.
The quarrel is said to have been occasioned by the Portuguese Minister of Police having insisted on searching some baggage belonging to the French Minister who remonstrated to the Court of Portugal, and even insisted on the dismissal of the Minister of Police, which being refused, he immediately quitted Lisbon for Paris.
By the Latest Mails.
WASHINGTON-CITY, Oct. 8. WE learn that Mr. King, by the leave of government, was to have left England, about the 20th of August last, on a tour to the continent of Europe, and that he would be absent two or three months. Mr. Christopher Gore, one of the commissioners of the United States, under the 7th article of the late treaty with England, 2d s, during Mr. King's absence, as the charge des affaires of the United States at London.
We understand that Mr. Otto, the French Minister to this country, will not leave England until February next; when Mr. Merry, the Minister for England, will also leave Paris; and that in the spring both will repair to the United States.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8.
Yesterday, arrived the ship George, Capt. Rice, from Cape Francois, who informs us, that on the 16th ult. all the troops, with the seamen and marines from on board the ships of war, were marched out of the town to check the motions of the negroes, who were advancing towards the Cape.—On the 17th at 4 o'clock in the morning, a gun was fired, and soon after, about half way up a hill, a few miles from the harbour, the battle commenced, and he, with the people on board the vessels in the harbour, could plainly see the firing from both sides, which continued very sharp till nine o'clock. They could perceive some time before the conclusion, that one party retreated down the hill; and when the firing ceased, both parties appeared to be in the valley; from which circumstance, the seamen on board the vessels, suppose the French retreated. Capt. Rice mentioned the observation to a French officer, who was saying they beat the negroes, when the officer said, "it was one retrograde motion."—The issue was kept a profound secret. On the 19th, there was another action between the French and negroes near the same place, which lasted between two and three hours, but was kept secret.—But reports say, had the late reinforcements been detained a month longer, the negroes would by this, have been masters of the island. The blacks were continually committing depredations around the Cape; they even stole the Horse of Gen. Boyer, Commandant at the Cape and 2d in command on the island.
On the 18th of Sept. in the Evening was brought to the Cape, by sea, loaded with chains, a black called Gen. Charles Bellair, whom it was reported (for at the Cape you have no certain intelligence of any transaction) was appointed by the blacks to be their commander and successor to Toussaint—Bellair, (who some say was jealous of him) having received or pretended to have received information that Bellair was building a fort on his plantation, detached a body of men, seized him and sent him to the Cape. The Arrest for the trial of Bellair, Capt. Rice informs us was suspended by Le Clerc, but for what reason was not publicly known.
WILMINGTON, (DEL.) OCTOBER 1. The Chevalier B—d, no longer willing to trust the issue of his election to the exertions of his friends (who by the bye are not very numerous in this country) has at length come to a resolution to travel about through the country and shew his constituents his handsome face, and accomplished behaviour; and left those should not be sufficient to win them, he has a little story consisting of a few short words, but very large LIES, which he imparts to them without a fee. After some preparatory discourse, he breaks out in this wise:—"Mr. Jefferson, for the purpose of closing your eyes, has obtained a repeal of all the internal taxes; but in a short time he will raise them to a greater amount than they ever were before—he will establish a standing army to keep you down, and secure his power. He has sold the late President's coach, and is now spending the money in rioting and carousing." This story Mr. B—d related in substance to an honest farmer, living in the edge of Richardson's swamp.
The federalists make a great noise about morality; but when have the Democrats, or any one of them been seen on the Sabbath with a jug of whiskey going to a political meeting? This the riotous state treasurer, however, did on the last Sabbath. "Tell it not in Gath, nor let the found thereof reach Askelon."
FEDERAL BATHOS.
While infidelity, with her brazen front, is making unwearied efforts to weaken, to stigmatize, and to denounce, Clerical influence in New-England...while an evident depreciation of the circulating medium, [paper money] has greatly diminished the means of support, how grateful is it to find that—264 Reams of linen, cotton and woolen yarn have been presented to the Rev. Mr. Holis's wife of Hardwick!!
While Mr. Ozem Blahfield's mare has been hung to death, by being hitched within 13 feet of a bee hive in Brimfield; how grateful is it to find, that—a church organ has been presented to the town of Northfield!!
NEW-YORK, OCT. 9.
FLOUR & POT-ASH. [The following information on the subject of Flour and Pot-ash is communicated by a respectable and highly valued correspondent.]
The quality of New-York flour has undoubtedly improved very much of late. Before the introduction of the machinery invented to clean the grain, and to elevate and cool the meal, our flour was not so well prepared for market as it ought to have been. But now the farmers are much more careful to remove all foreign seeds and trash. The millers have acquired additional skill in the manufacture; and the inspectors are so vigilant in performing the services required of them, that there is more and more need of attending to every part of the management of wheat, both by the farmer and the miller. It is easy to discover that on this important subject, there seems to be a cordial disposition in all the classes of citizens to unite in improving the quality, character and price of their great staple commodity. And captains of vessels returning from foreign places, inform the merchants who employ them, that the New-York brand is in high respect, and its flour brings as much money as any exported from the United States. Such capital improvements reflect great credit on their authors, and tend eminently to the reputation of the state and nation.
Some years ago, there were imperfections in the preparation of American potash and pearl ash, which were greatly complained of in Great-Britain, where much of these precious articles of export were consumed. And for a time there were strong grounds for such complaints. To increase the weight of the articles there had been practiced many shameful frauds. These have gradually, by a series of long and laborious experiments, been detected. At present, the inspectors of the port of New-York are so completely masters of their business, that they can detect mixtures and adulterations almost by a glance of the eye. It is very remarkable to what perfection this difficult business is carried. The persons appointed to superintend this branch, have become such adepts, that they can detect the presence of common salt, quick-lime, plaster of Paris, or any other article melted up with the ashes; they also ascertain with great precision whether the salts have been injured by excessive heat in melting. By these means the pot-ash and pearl-ash of New-York has acquired its present good quality and repute. All parties seem to join hands in this work of reform; the clearer of and keeps his crude ashes cleaner, the pot-ash maker bestows more care in leeching, boiling, land calcining his salts, and the inspector examines them more narrowly when they come to market. Such harmony in the conduct of this grand branch of business is truly admirable. Our pot ash and pearl-ash already vie with the best in foreign places; and we soon expect to hear that they are in the highest demand and bring the greatest prices.
HINTS,
For the Friends of American Manufactures and Fisheries.
In the English house of commons on the 12th June, 1802.
Mr. Vanbrugh stated the necessity of giving more encouragement to our fisheries, in consequence of the active measures taken by other nations, particularly the Dutch, to encourage their fisheries. It was accordingly moved that the duties imposed in the present session upon the importation of blubber, train, and fish oil, do cease and determine; which being agreed to, he moved that the following reduced duties be substituted in lieu thereof, viz. duty of 21s. 3d. upon every ton of blubber, containing 250 gallons, imported into Great Britain, and of 16s. 10d. upon every ton of train and fish oil, of the same quantity.—Agreed to." On the same day, "The report of the committee upon the
bookfellers' petition was brought up, and the following resolutions agreed to:—
"Resolved, that the duty of 5d. now payable upon paper of the first class, be reduced to 3d."
"Resolved, that the duty now payable upon paper of the third class, be reduced from 2d. to 1d."
When we anticipated the reduction of British duties on paper last winter, it may be recollected that a federal clamour was raised about it. Immense quantities of British paper will now be introduced under the advantage which the reduction of the home duties will give the British manufacture; while our young and vigorous manufactures will be shaken to the centre by British monopoly. English paper is now offered five per cent. under the price five months ago—and great facilities will be made of English paper, to destroy the manufacture in America altogether. We have seen the silk—and the cotton—the stocking weaving—and the woolen manufactures attacked, and some of them destroyed by foreign monopoly—and where the home manufacture is recommended to be protected—there are millions ready to cry out against it in our very fleeces!
NORWALK, (Conn.) Sept. 21.
We again rejoice at the opportunity of greeting our fellow-citizens with the happy news of REPUBLICANISM TRIUMPHANT. In spite of ready habits and monarchical faction, the Republicans of this town, in their semi-annual meeting, held yesterday, made choice of Mr. William M. Beus and Dr. Phineas Miller, two inflexible Republicans, as Representatives to the General Assembly the ensuing session, each by a large majority.

"When the Devil was cast out of Heaven, he came down in great wrath, knowing that his time was short; and tho' he is said to be confined within certain boundaries, he is suffered to corrupt and mislead mankind.—So, when the depraved monster called Federalism, was substantially driven from the United States, he in great wrath fled to this State, and in league with certain collateral relations, he has poured out upon the Republicans here, the fierceness of his rage.—But his time is also short.—Every election evinces that the Republicans are increasing in Connecticut. The fcales have commenced turning, and Federalism must eventually kick the beam."
"Yesterday our semi-annual election took place, and notwithstanding our enemies were headed by the ex-Secretary Walcutt—the Exterminator Tracy—Long John Allen—Judge Reeve, (who left his leaf, if not his duty, on the bench,) and came to the trial of federal strength) and many well-disciplined fatalities, the Republicans obtained the victory."
BOSTON, OCTOBER 16.
PORTUGAL & FRANCE.
We mentioned in our last the abrupt departure of the French Ambassador from Lisbon: The following particulars on the subject, contained in a letter from an American gentleman in Lisbon, and received at New-Haven, have not before reached us:
"General Lasnes left this in disgust the night before last, and has gone off post to Paris, by way of Madrid. Madame Lasnes, goes in the next packet if she can get ready; if not, in the following one with General Frazier, who accompanies her. Let the cause be what it will, this Government is in great consternation. The Minister of State, Mr. Pinto, and Mr. Almeida, and the Nuncio, were with him, at different times, to persuade him to remain, but to no effect. Many are the reports. What Portugal will do, it is impossible to determine. The will of the Great Consul must be done."
"Mr. Sarmiento, Pinto's Secretary, has gone post to Paris. He will arrive, allowing him to be as expeditious as possible, about ten days after Lasnes. Some say Lasnes came here much against his inclination, and for that reason quarreled with this Government, that he might return."
"During the course of these disputes between Lasnes and this Government, Madame Lasnes was delivered of a child. On the Prince Regent being informed of it, he sent him immediately a pair of Gold Pifsols, twenty four Gold Balls, a Gold Powder Horn full of Gold Dust; and the Princess to Madame Lasnes, a small Box full of handsome Brillians—offering to stand God-father and Godmother to the child."
"The French continue to send powerful reinforcements to their West-India colonies, either to supply the heavy losses they have sustained therein by the bullet and the fever, or to rid France of some of its veteran soldiers; whose imbued principles of Liberty and Equality may not accord with the new order of things in that Republic."
BOSTON FRIGATE.
The United States frigate Boston, Capt. M'Neil, arrived in the outer harbour, on Sunday last, from Gibraltar, 30 days. The Commander informs, that a partial peace had been concluded with the Emperor of Morocco, and that Mr. Simpson had returned to Tangiers:—That the Emperor had claimed and manned the Tripoline Admiral, which had to long lain dismantled at Gibraltar, and fitted her for sea:—In consequence of which Commodore Morris, considering her a Tripoline, had ordered the Adams, Capt. Campbell, to cruise off Algiers, to watch her motions, and to capture her on her putting to sea; and had stationed an officer on shore to make signals; and that Commodore Morris had failed from Gibraltar, with Mr. Cathcart, for Algiers.
The Boston has been stationed off Tripoli, where she was relieved by the Constitution, of 36 guns, Capt. Murray. She then proceeded to Naples, and convoyed a number of American and Swedes to Gibraltar. Capt. M'Neil had a slight affair with three gun-boats near Tripoli; one of which he sunk, and the other two hauled into shoal water. The Boston suffered no injury.
The Danes have made peace with Tripoli, by the promise of tribute in money and military stores.
FROM MARTINICO.
Accounts from Martinico, via. Salem, announce that the French took possession of the island of Martinico, the 14th of September: That they landed their troops without any opposition; and that the inhabitants appeared to rejoice on the occasion.

OF EUROPE.
The European papers, besides local politics and domestic concerns, are principally filled with the arrangements making in the various States to put in execution the stipulations of the late Treaties of Peace.—By the Treaty of Amiens more places are to change masters than are readily recollected by our best informed Quiddams.—By that treaty the English were to restore the following conquests made from France, viz. The islands of Tobago, Martinico, and St. Lucie, in the West-Indies.—The islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, near Newfoundland.—Pondicherry, &c. in the East-Indies.—Foul-Point, on the island of Madagascar.—Isles of Goree, on the coast of Africa.—And Isles of St. Mareau, on the coast of France. To the Batavian Republic, the was to cede Malacca, in the East Indies, with its dependencies.—The Colony at the Cape of Good Hope.—Islands of Amboyna, Banda, and Ternate, in the East-Indies.—Colonies of Demerary, Essequibo, Berbice, and Surinam; and island of Curacoa, in the West-Indies. To Spain the was to cede the island of Minorca, in the Mediterranean sea. Of all her conquests she only retains, the Spanish island of Trinidad, in the West-Indies; and Trincomalee, in the island of Ceylon, in the East-Indies. She however retains all the ships of war taken during the war, amounting to 86 sail of the line, a fifty gun ships, 194 frigates, and 234 sloops of war, &c.—making in all 570 ships, mounting 15,934 guns. It is the boast of England, that at the close of the war, none of the powers combined with France held a foot of her territory.
An elegant travelling carriage has been lately prepared for the First Consul of France which contains a bed, library, writing table, and a small service of plate: the carriage is lined with thin copper, or composition metal, so that a ball cannot penetrate it.
The London Morning Post says, that "Liberty has been stripped of her old cap in France and made, like a nun, to wear a veil as an emblem that no man will be allowed to possess her."
Extract of a letter of Messrs. Isaac Thurst, & Co. in Antwerp, dated 29th July, 1802.
"The French Government has just repealed the law which prohibited the entry of Tobacco, on account of the several manufactory we have in this neighbourhood."
COMMUNICATION.
Messrs. Printers,
I HAVE read with attention your late publication of "Recent Proofs of a Defection from the Christian Religion," being remarks made by DANIEL HUMPHREYS, Esquire, on certain Election, Thanksgiving, and Fast Sermons, July Oration, Palladium publications, and Centinel scraps, more especially on the doctrine, "that the Christian Religion is the Law of the Land."—The sentiments of Mr. Humphreys, are so perfectly consonant with the sacred scriptures, that he who runs may read the apostasy of the Clergy; and if they do not come forward and confute the arguments of this undeviating penman, let some of them at least hide their writings in future from the public eye.—Mr. Humphreys has no personal enmity with any man, or body of men, political or religious, but holds himself bound in duty to support the religion of his Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, and his doctrine of salvation of man as it is freely offered in the Gospel, and when he finds any public teachers calling themselves Rev'd Shepherds, leading their flocks astray—He feels wounded to see the innocent Lambs in the broad way to destruction; he feels himself impelled by his knowledge of the terrors of the Lord, to persuade men to turn from their evil ways and live—and if this Gentleman's arguments are unanswerable, let not the admission of Popery and Idolatry be so greatly countenanced and even supported as at the present day, by many professors of christianity, who are more like wolves in sheeps cloathing.
Mr. HUMPHREYS has done himself great honour in daring to attack the writings of those birling opponents, to the true principles of christianity, especially as nothing but his attachment to the gospel, could have induced this voluntary and unexpected defence of his religious ideas and knowledge of the truth, as it is in CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.
This impartial view deserves to be read by every one who has the christian religion at heart—it is short, soon read, and at a cheap rate, and will administer pleasure to every sensible man, to see the religion of his Saviour, so ably defended against subversion, and the government under which he lives, supported as ordained of God, and to which we must all submit.
The Pamphlet above alluded to, is just published and for sale by the Printers hereof, price 25 cents.

WE have the pleasure this day of announcing to our Republican friends, the certainty of the election of C. A. RODNEY, over the champion of the federal party, James A. Bayard, by a triumphant majority.
A letter received from Wilmington, Delaware, states that Mr. Rodney, the republican candidate for congress, has a majority of 957 votes, and that he will be immediately returned to Congress.

The recent rumour of the arrival of the celebrated Thomas Paine author of "Common Sense" and the "Rights of Man," appears to have been a mere story bubble. We have seen letters from a gentleman at Bordeaux who states that Mr. Paine was at Paris. No baggage of his had arrived at Bordeaux, nor had any proposition been made for his passage in the ship Franklin as reported.
The return of Thomas Paine to America has been meditated for four years past!—the alarm excited among the Tories by his being expected, assumes the mask of religion; but this disguise is too thin—for men whose conduct is a constant course of hypocrisy.
Communicated for the GAZETTE. Providential Preservation.
On the 6th inst. Mr. Levi Marston, of North Hampton, N. H. was at work in a well at Mr. Isaiah Berry's in Greenland. The well was about 24 feet deep. As the tub, in which the stones were conveyed to the workmen, was raised from the platform at the top of the well to be let down, the bottom edge of it struck a piece of timber, which lay across the well, and threw out a stone that weighed upwards of 20 pounds, which fell directly on Mr. Marston's head, who was stooping down and placing a stone, about twelve feet from the bottom, to which height the well was stone. Mr. Marston was struck head foremost to the bottom of the well, in which there were about 7 feet of water. Mr. Dow of Rye, who was at work with him, hastened down to the water and exerted his strength to raise him without success, as Mr. Marston in struggling had fastened one foot among the stones. Mr. Berry, who was at the top of the well when the accident happened, descended immediately, and with Mr. Dow raised him about half way out of the water, but one foot being still fastened in the well, he slipped from their hold and fell again to the bottom. Their exertions would probably have proved wholly ineffectual, had not Mr. Marston's recollection so far returned that he became sensible of his situation, disengaged his foot from the stones himself, and threw his feet together. They made a third effort, which was successful, and brought him out of the well apparently dead. He came too however in a few minutes. It is remarkable that his recollection returned so soon after he struck the bottom, that he heard their conversation distinctly, and after he was taken out of the well and supposed to be dead he understood all that was said. It is supposed he was in the water a minute and an half, but held his breath so entirely, that no water issued either from his mouth or nose after he was taken out. Mr. Marston received a large wound on the head; his hat probably prevented a fracture of the skull. He was considerably bruised on his head, arms, legs, and in almost every part of his body. Under the care and attention of Dr. Fogg, who was immediately called and has since attended him, he is now on the recovery. Instances like this, peculiarly call for a grateful acknowledgment of a constant overruling providence. A more striking instance of preservation in extreme danger seldom occurs.
Historical Scrap.
The discovery of printing contributed greatly to the production of learned men in Europe. Lord Herbert in his life of Henry the 8th, p. 147, supposed that Cardinal Wolsey stated the effects of this art to the Pope thus: "That his Holiness could not be ignorant what diverse effects this new invention of printing had produced, for it had brought in and restored books and learning, so together it had been the occasion of those sects and schisms which daily appeared in the world, but chiefly in Germany, where men begin now to call in question the purest faith and tenets of the Church, and to examine how far religion has departed from its primitive institution, and that which particularly was most to be lamented, they had exhorting lay and ordinary men to read the Scriptures, and pray in their vulgar tongue, and if this was suffered, besides all other dangers the common people at last might come to believe that there was not so much use for the Clergy; for if men were persuaded once, they could make their own way to God, and that their prayers in their native and ordinary language might pierce Heaven as well as Latin, how much would the authority of the mass fall? For this purpose since printing could not be put down, it were best to set up learning against learning, and by introducing able persons to dispute, to suspend the Laity between fear and controversy; this at worst would yet make them attentive to their superiors and teachers."

Incin'd to stray from what is right and just, Nature is prone from its primeval dust; Foun'd first upright then falling from that sphere, All men are seeking satisfaction here, Nothing that's right will suit the carnal pride, Therefore we sin, and truth is set aside: Sprinkling of babes among a thousand ills Pres'd in, in consequence of stubborn wills; Refusing Christ's examples & commands, Invalidating precepts as they stand, Neglecting order from Jehovah's hand: Kings may conveit, and Clergymen may fight, Laborious Priests may set on float their wit Increase their cavils then with shame submit; None but the Pope be thank'd for this invention: Give him his due and finish the convention.
From the pen of the Rural Loiterer.  Occasioned by seeing an account of the marriage of Mr. Deaf to Miss Dumb. WHEN Deaf and Dumb, in nuptial band unite, How vast prolific of each pure delight! The noise and discord which disgrace the bard, Would not intrude, but at a distance stand. But, then it seems a little nice to find The secret passions of each others mind; How odd must be the courtship of this pair, Where words nor sounds could never form a share!
For the N. H. GAZETTE.  Messrs. Printers, HAVING met with the following account of a surprising discovery, made by Dr. KATTERFELTO's new invented Solar Microscope, by which he had astonished the learned of both sexes, and which no doubt has raised the character of that gentleman to be the greatest philosopher in England, if not in Europe; and altho' I would not wish to derogate the great and important exhibitions of any genius in the world, yet I will exhibit to you the character of an AMERICAN, born at Bolton, of that most respectable name of BROMFIELD; yet known to many of the first characters living in that town; whose discoveries in the Minutia of Nature, as much exceeded Dr. Katterfelto, as it could be possible for the imagination to conceive; for while the Dr. only made the mite of a cheese as large as his favourite car—Mr. Bromfield, by his Solar Microscope, of his own invention, projected the shade of a mite 216 half inches long, 120 half inches broad, and about as thick as broad, and if the room had been 100 feet square, he could have made the shade of the mite 100 feet in length—Therefore you may prepare your readers in your two next Gazettes, to read the character of an American gentleman, who if he had lived, The great Sir Isaac Newton, would have thought himself greatly honoured in his acquaintance; and one whom Dr. Winthrop, the philosopher of Cambridge, ventured to say, that Sir Isaac was not his equal—The astonishing discoveries of this great man, ought to be commemorated to the latest ages of time, in our American annals, and therefore every printer throughout the Union, throwing aside his political animosities, ought to gratify his customers with the perusal of the biography of Mr. Bromfield, and perhaps stimulate some genuses to extend their ideas to things yet unknown. AMERICANUS.
Extract from various letters from Warrington. On Tuesday and Wednesday last, the first and second instant, many of the first ladies and gentlemen of that town, and its vicinity, were on those two days greatly alarmed and surprised in viewing Dr. Katterfelto's new invented Solar Microscope exhibition; being two very clear sunshiny days the Doctor exhibited his new invented Solar Microscope above all description. He shewed more than 700,000 live insects in a drop of vinegar the size of a pin's head, and as large as eels; also above 80,000 live insects in a drop of water; many of them as large as rats and mice, and above 90,000 live insects in a drop of milk; likewise 50,000 insects in Marcholl of powder; the mites in cheese were seen in the above days as large as his favorite black cat; with ten thousand other uncommon and wonderful objects which are by all accounts beyond all description. Many learned ladies and gentlemen said, if they had paid a guinea for admittance, it was no more than what the above lecture is worthy of, and if they were to go 30, or even 50 miles on purpose to see it again, they would not regret their time or distance. By the above new improved Solar Microscope, we find the above celebrated divine and moral Philosopher, Dr. Katterfelto, discovered seven years ago in London; the real cause of the Influenza, and did cure at that time many of the very first nobility in that metropolis, of that violent disorder, which was the cause the Doctor, at that time became a great favorite of their Majesties, and the whole royal family, &c.
ANECDOTE. A certain poor woman having, by hard labor, earned one peck of corn, carried it to mill, and fearing the miller would take too much toll, watched him very narrowly: after the corn was ground the told him that he had made a mistake, what is that said he, why, said she, you did not take the toll—Oh, said he, I know you are poor, and I omitted it on that account; well sir, I am much obliged to you, and though it is not in my power to do the like kindness for you, yet I will assure you of one thing, and that is, "you shall always have my custom."
The increase of Newspapers favorable to the present Government of the United States is well known. To their number we hear one will soon be added at Newburyport.
