LAWS OF THE UNION.
[PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.]
AN ACT
In addition to an act, intitled "An act regulating the grants of land and providing for the disposal of the lands of the United States, south of the state of Tennessee."
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That whenever any person who shall have received a pre-emption certificate, from either of the boards of commissioners, appointed for the purpose of ascertaining the rights of persons to lands in the Mississippi territory, shall, by a final judgment or decree of the highest court of laws, or equity, in which a decision could be had, within the said territory, rendered in favor of another person claiming by virtue of a British patent, lose the whole or part of the tract of land to which he was entitled by virtue of such certificate, it shall be lawful for the receiver of public monies for the district where the land lies, to repay to such person or his assigns, so much of the purchase money as had been paid by him for the land thus recovered, by the holder of the British patent.
In all cases where only a part of a tract of land, to which any person may be entitled by virtue of a certificate granted by the commissioners aforesaid, is also claimed by the holder of a British patent, a patent may issue in favor of the owners of such certificate, for so much of such tract of land as is not claimed by virtue of such British patent: Provided, That he shall in every other respect have complied with the provisions of the acts of Congress, regulating the grants of land in the Mississippi territory. And the lands contained in British grants, which have been duly recorded in conformity with the provisions of former laws, and for which certificates have not been granted by the commissioners aforesaid, shall not be disposed of until otherwise directed by Congress.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That persons entitled to a right of pre-emption to lands in the Mississippi territory, by virtue of certificates granted by either of the boards of commissioners aforesaid, shall be allowed till the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and seven, to make the first payment of the purchase money of such lands: And if any such person shall neglect to make such first payment on or before the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and seven, his right of pre-emption shall cease and become void.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That each of the commissioners appointed to ascertain the claims to lands in the above mentioned territory, west of Pearl river, shall be allowed at the rate of six dollars for every day he shall attend, subsequent to the first day of April, one thousand eight hundred and six: Provided, That such additional allowance shall not exceed five hundred dollars, for each commissioner, and the agent appointed in behalf of the United States for the said board shall be allowed an additional compensation of three hundred and fifty dollars for the whole of his services. And the register and receiver of public monies, in each of the districts of the abovementioned territory, shall, and they are hereby authorized, in their districts, respectively, and after the dissolution of the board of commissioners for their district, to regulate the location of any tract of land lying within such district, for which a certificate shall have been granted by the commissioners, whenever it shall appear that the location specified in such certificates, interfere with each other, or do not include the improvements, by virtue of which such certificates were granted: Provided, That the said register and receiver, shall not be authorized to allow any location on land not improved and settled, in the manner provided by the former acts of congress, regulating the grants of land in the above mentioned territory; nor to allow, in any case, a greater quantity of land than had been allowed by the commissioners.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That whenever it shall appear to the satisfaction of the register and receiver of the district, east of Pearl river, that the settlement and occupancy, by
virtue of which a pre-emption certificate had been granted by the commissioners, had been made and taken place, prior to the 30th day of March one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight, they shall be authorized to grant to the party a donation certificate, in lieu of such pre-emption; and the patent shall issue as in other cases of donation: Provided, That application shall be made for such an exchange, and evidence produced of the date of such settlement and occupancy, on or before the 31st day of December next.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the right of the United States, to all the land lying between the front street of the city of Natchez and the Mississippi river, and bounded on the north by north Fourth street, and the land granted to Stephen Minor, and on the south, by the lands annexed to the old fort, and those granted to William Barland, be, and the same hereby is, forever vested in the corporation of said city, so as not to affect the legal or equitable claims of any individuals, or of any body politic, or corporate, if any such there be: Provided, That the said land, as above described, be neither cultivated nor occupied by buildings, but that it be planted with trees, and preserved as a common, for the use, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of the city aforesaid and all other persons who may occasionally resort thither.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That whenever the section No 16, shall fall upon land already granted, by virtue of any act of congress, or claimed by virtue of a British grant, the secretary of the treasury shall locate another section, in lieu thereof, for the use of schools, which location shall be made in the same township, if there be any other vacant section therein, and otherwise, in an adjoining township.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That Richard Sparks be permitted to enter with the register of the land office, for the district west of Pearl river, his claim to three hundred and twenty acres of land lying within said district; and that Richard S. Bryan and George Brewer, senior, be permitted to enter with the register of the land office, for the district east of Pearl river, their certificate of a right of pre-emption for three hundred and twenty acres of land, lying within the district last mentioned: And such entry of the claim of the said Richard Sparks, shall have the same effect, as if it had been made prior to the first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and four, and such entry of the certificate of the said Richard S. Bryan and George Brewer, senior, shall have the same effect as if it had been made within three months from the time it was issued.

Political Reflections.
The federal faction , (consisting of about twenty men in each state, who dare not appear themselves in the controversy, but employ a few desperate editors in their service) have of late commenced a new attack on the present administration. This faction now openly advocate an alliance with England in opposition to France and Spain. They deprecate peace "as injurious to our mercantile citizens, and holders of the staples of our country." In a civilized country, professing the benign principles of the Gospel, such an idea is degrading to our national honor. When we observe the dreadful carnage attendant on war;—when thousands of the human race are daily falling a sacrifice to the ravages of a mercenary army;—in this horrid conflict, is it possible that the American papers should bring into view the rise and fall of articles of commerce, merely to enrich a few traders who are dealing in those commodities? A cargo of sugar and coffee to be placed in competition with the lives of thousands of innocent men , who are dragged into the service of the belligerent powers, is a reflection too abhorrent to be indulged by rational beings. Let a man of humanity enter the dwelling of a British sailor, and there behold his wife and children bemoaning the unhappy fate of an impressed husband and father. Let him visit an hospital, where thousands of unfortunate victims are expiring under all the agonies of wounds and amputations. Let him view the field of slaughter, whose surface is crimsoned with the blood of slaughtered fellow men; how would he be shocked should he be told, that this carnage, though it promoted his commercial interest, is now left to his decision whether it should any longer be continued. Would a man of humanity long hesitate how to decide on so interesting an appeal to his benevolence? Would he bring into view his hogheads of sugar and bags of coffee, while determining on so important a question? Would he say, let us have war to give vent to my commodities—or would his account of sales compensate for the long list of killed and wounded in every engagement? Would a price current console him for the unfortunate American seamen held captives on board the British navy, and who experience the inhumanity of supercilious despotism? For God's sake let the American character be freed from such imputations. We will give the world a specimen of civilization superior to such degrading principles. We must be despised by all nations; when such infamous publications disgrace our public papers. There never was such an instance of cruelty exhibited in any European papers during our revolutionary conflict. We never saw a publication of a similar nature in any civilized society.—This dishonorary idea is reserved for a country which boasts of its christian virtues. But, thank God, it is not the voice of the citizens:—it is the horrid imprecation of a few livelings , who have in all instances endeavored to promote the flame of war in Europe, and who have been attempting for many years to plunge this country into the vortex of carnage and desolation. The federal faction have ever been exciting a spirit of hostility against France, with a design to involve us in an alliance with England. For ten years this has been their theme of political disquisition. England has been held up as the omnipotent power, with whom we ought to form an alliance offensive and defensive. If we had then followed their advice, in what a dreadful situation should we now be placed? We now should be brought into the European market, and disposed of to suit the purposes of Britain. We should be thrown in the scale of British politics, and serve as the make weight to poise the balance of Great Britain. In what position should we be placed, under the present negotiation for peace?—With what valuable materials would the British ministry be furnished, having the United States as the territory to offer for pacification? If Bonaparte would wish to subjugate these states, it would be for his interest to have us in alliance with England; for being under their control, he could make terms more favorable to his views through the medium of this negotiation, than by commencing a direct war against us. If Russia, Austria, &c. could not oppose his conquests, how could the United States have stopped his career, in alliance with England? We could not have injured France, if we had become an ally with England, but we must have greatly benefited England, whenever a proposition for peace was made by them. We should have stood like curlprits in the final negotiation, and the English ministry would have "laughed when our fears came upon us."
We have reason to think that the
federal faction have always had this object in view, when they recommended an alliance with England. They must have known that this would have been the final result of our engagements.—As Britain had lost the colonies by their arbitrary conduct towards them in '75, they were solicitous to get us engaged in a warfare against France, in order that England might have a favorite boon to relinquish in case they were forced to sue for peace. This artful insidious project has always been anticipated by the faction ! England has, during the French war, beguiled every power in Europe to become favorable to their designs:—And in every instance, those who listened to them have felt the effects of their folly. The federal faction have been more insidious towards the United States, than the British government have been towards the European powers. The latter have been counted and subsidized by the immediate application of the British ministry , but the United States have been urged into an alliance by the officious conduct of federal individuals . The British nation has acted with a degree of caution towards us, totally different from what they have pursued in any other instance. The federalists have attempted to entrap us, by making us volunteers in their service—to offer ourselves without even the request of the British government. This was a deep plan, in order to give every advantage to the English in case they were subdued by France. The British ministry would then say, we never required your assistance;—we never asked your help;—we never wanted your aid:—Your own citizens proposed the alliance: you said we were fighting your battles—that we were your only friends—that we had the best constitution in the world—that the French were tyrants, and that George was the best of kings. As we are now about suing for peace, and as all our subsidized allies are beaten from the field of action, we now shall come before Bonaparte with our offering, and shall surrender to him those medalists in our controversy whom we never requested to become his opponents.
Ye federal faction , what do you answer to these charges? What could you say against such plausible statements? Would not the British have a right to do this?—and if they did, what reply could you make? An alliance offensive and defensive has been urged by the faction . We will ask, what document have they to show this was ever requested by England? Then how dare they to suggest such a connexion, when the power with whom they fought an alliance never made the proposition? As I said before, it was an artful, traitorous plan, to effect an alliance, merely to give an advantage to England whenever peace was proposed by them.
The federal faction are the worst enemies we have, either in or out of the country. They are enemies particularly to the merchants; though they have deceived too many respectable individuals in the profession. For in case of an alliance, they would have been deprived of all their profitable commerce to France, Spain and Holland. Besides which on the conclusion of peace, it is probable their interest would have been thrown into the scale to compensate France for the depredations committed by the English.—Restrictions on our trade might be a valuable consideration for certain other advantages reserved to the British. The American commerce would be a good peace making commodity to open a ministerial negotiation. It would be a convenient material to extend their own benefits, and would be ready change to settle the et ceteras of a long standing account between the commercial and marine rights of the respective nations. In such a situation, how the federal faction would smile at seeing the British cabinet dealing out American favors to sooth the resentment of the French emperor. How would they congratulate each other on the success of their projects, and possibly the English ministry would make some of them viceroys to execute the mandates of the treaty.
What a glorious fight would it be to them, to see thousands of American sailors immured in French guardships, in the room of as many British seamen, which our folly had given the British a right to capture. At the close of the war these miserable men would be sent home laboring under all their infirmities, to pine away in sickness and penury. These would be halcyon days for federalism . Then would the enemies of our Revolution be gratified for all the sufferings they experienced during the American war! The tories , who fled in those days of conflict, would rejoice in the prospect that our future humiliation would be adequate to all the glory we had acquired since the obtainment of our independence.
This faction have ever been disposed to bring us into difficulties, by exciting a jealousy among the citizens. Alarm and disaffection are their sole objects. They are now bent on mischief, and by abuse and the most provoking language are endeavoring to raise the resentment of France against this country. They are unwearied in representing the ad-
ministration as having lost the confidence and affection of the people.—They seem desirous to court a war with France, merely for the purpose of obtaining the assistance of England. To wish a commencement of war is abhorrent to the sensibility of Americans; for if public sympathy is excited by the untimely death of one youth , what would be the feelings of the fathers and mothers of thousands, who should fall a sacrifice in the undistinguished carnage of national hostility! They try to irritate and provoke the pride of Bonaparte, to oblige him from a sense of honor, to resent the scandalous libels constantly issuing from their presses. They pretend to fear his power, and yet use every mean to make him the avowed enemy of this country. They say he is aiming at universal dominion, and yet are constantly rousing his indignation, and furnishing him, by the most insulting epithets, with a plea for commencing hostilities against us.
This behaviour from the faction has become a subject of serious consideration. If difficulties hereafter arise, they must become responsible for their conduct. If they involve the country in a war, by their abuse and indecencies, they must be answerable for the consequences. A very few men are doing this mischief. It is confined within a small Junta , and our security is, that France and Spain know that it is the disposition of the people of the United States to cultivate mutual friendship on terms honorable to each country.—France knows that the same kind of men are now inimical to them, as we had during the American war; and that about the same proportion of English partisans as composed the tory banditti, are now eulogizing Britain and calumniating France. It is probable, if we ever get into a war with France, it will be owing to the vile slanderous treatment they experience from these factious associates. They are enemies to the general happiness and prosperity of the United States, and sicken to see us flourish, while Britain is sinking in her glory. They would willingly lash this country to Britain, and engulf both in the vortex of national dissolution. They now endeavor to raise a bugbear about Bonaparte's directing his warfare to this country, but such idle tales, unless occasioned by their own scurrility and perfidy, are as futile, as their predictions that President Jefferson would burn the bible, and raze the houses of public worship. They deal in falsehoods, and live by exciting unreasonable alarms. They are more dangerous to the peace of the United States, by their insidious conduct, than France, Spain and England, or all the powers of Europe united.
FOREIGN NEWS.
LONDON, AUG. 15.—We make no question that the dispatches of Basilico are of a decisive nature.
The Paris and Duth papers received by the Hamburg Mail, of the 9th and 12th inst. are not calculated to excite any hopes of peace.
By a decree of the 3d August, the Emperor Napoleon has ordered a further conscription of 50,000 levies. The Paris editor says the increased limits of the Empire require an augmentation of the forces; and to replace the veterans who will be allowed to retire from service.
NAPLES, JUNE 7. The present eruption of Vesuvius exceeds any thing of the kind within the memory of man. The summit of the mountain is torn to pieces, and the rim of the crater is quite altered, in consequence of the number of fissures, to such a degree, that it is thought that in the course of a few days, a whole side of the mountain will fall in. About one hundred dwelling houses and estates have been ruined, with large tracts of vine yard ground, cornfields, &c. The volcano still seems to contain a large portion of matter, as the subterraneous noises are dreadful. Flashes of lightning are emitted from time to time, from clouds of smoke. People are extremely apprehensive, that the Torre del Greco may share the fate of the Herculaneum , in the year 79. A part of the forests of Torre del Greco have already been inundated by the lava, which the inhabitants have removed with incredible labour and fatigue. Still the stream continues to run very near the place, and the inhabitants are deterred from leaving their houses for fear of being injured by the glowing cinders discharged by the mountain. A great quantity of ashes have also fallen in Naples.
The accounts from Europe state, that Bonaparte means to march an army through Turkey into Egypt, a very probable event.
Bonaparte, as it appears by the European papers, is going to Boulogne again—and the stockjobbers give this as the sign of peace.— Aurora .

HIGHLY INTERESTING.
Extract—Mississippi territory, Aug. 13. Governor Claiborne was here all last week, and being called by express left Natchez yesterday morning. The Spanish party that had been sent to stop our exploring party (under Freeman) had arrived at the Cado towns on the Red River, 20 days after our party had passed the same place, and finding the American flag flying there cut it down and rebuked the Indians for suffering it to be set up, or us to enter the Spanish territory. The Cado chief replied that the Cados were an independent people and the Americans their friends, and they would protect them.
The Spaniards set off in pursuit of our party up the Red River, but they had got 150 or 200 miles in advance of them, 6000 Spanish cavalry had arrived at the Sabine and crossed, possessed themselves of the post from which Capt. Turner had driven them last spring. This circumstance required the presence of the governor to call out the militia which he had been organizing for some previous time.
An old soldier from the Apushia country, who passed here to-day met Governor Claiborne yesterday 20 miles beyond the Mississippi, he has tired one horse and had got another and proceeded rapidly on his journey. Before he left the Apushia, the militia there had been called out to aid the regular troops, and the spirit of the people was very much roused.—Col. Cushing had determined to fight the Spaniards who had crossed the Sabine. The troops under his command at Natchitoches may be about 300 regulars; the militia of this territory are ordered to be in readiness.
The soldier reports from Apushia that 2000 more Spaniards were on their way to the Sabine with 500 mules laden with provision, &c. This, if true, will make a force superior in number to our regulars; and some entertain doubts, though I do not, of the attachment of the militia on the other side. In this territory we can without difficulty have 700 or 1000 volunteers; at a few hours notice, and whose activity will render them fit for immediate service. At any rate, if the Spaniards do but come down, we shall be able to give a good account of them. The Spaniards report, that they mean to re-occupy all the Louisiana country, and say they have emissaries in the United States."
Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated August 22.
By a letter which arrived in town this day, we are informed, that 900 Spaniards have passed over the Sabine river and stationed themselves within 12 miles of Natchitoches. The American troops are now making preparations to meet them.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman, dated Natchez, 25th August, 1806, to his brother in Baltimore.
"I expect you have by this time heard of a disturbance that has taken place on the other side of the river. About 800 Spaniards, and 3 or 400 Indians, have taken a raid within 5 miles of Natchitoches, where there is a considerable number of Americans (perhaps nearly equal) and out of the 5 companies at Fort Adams, 3 are ordered over there immediately. The governor (Claiborne) gone over there either to make peace or war. There is little doubt with me from all accounts, but that our troops will be attacked before you receive this, as I have understood the commanding officer has long ago had positive orders to drive them on the other side of the Sabine, should they come over on this side. The militia of that country are generally volunteers, and there is a considerable stir here in the mustering way since the express arrived, which was about 10 days ago."
BALTIMORE, SEPT. 28.
THE papers contain a letter from Bordeaux, dated 14th July, well worthy a resident in Gascogne: But amongst much trash, it has some truths. It intimates, that none of the Imperial Family of France will be suffered by Bonaparte to be abridged an iota of their titles and dominions:—On the contrary, that he is now pursuing measures to effect the separation from Spain, of the ancient Kingdom of Navarre, and some adjoining Provinces—the finest in Spain—to be erected into a Kingdom for King Lucien; and to sit and prepare the old Republic of Switzerland for the sway of King Jerome. It also intimates—what we are glad to hear—that our negotiations at Paris and Madrid are likely to prosper. The march of troops towards Spain is also confirmed.
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 23.
During the thunder storm on Sunday evening a barn belonging to Daniel Drinker near Gray's ferry, was struck with lightning, which immediately
broke out into a blaze and spread to another barn of his about 20 or 30 feet distant, and were both consumed with all their valuable contents which was between 2 and 300 bushels of wheat and rye in the thresh, and from 15 to 20 tons of hay, and a variety of other articles.
SEPT. 25.
Attempt on the Mail.—A daring attempt to rob the Mail between New-York and this city, was made on Tuesday night last by a gang of villains, with whom there is every reason to believe the driver was in league.—By the spirited exertions of the passengers, one of the villains, together with the driver was secured, and committed to the custody of a magistrate.
PITTSBURGH, SEPT. 16.
Melancholy.—On Tuesday last, the 9th inst. two boys about 12 years of age, playing in a sand pit in this Borough, the earth from above gave way, and they were immediately smothered.—This is the third fatal accident of the kind which has happened here within a few years.
BOSTON, OCT. 4.
FROM HONDURAS.
Capt. Godfrey, who arrived yesterday (via quarantine) from the Bay of Honduras, which he left 26th August, informs, that the inhabitants expected an immediate attack from the Spaniards; having received information that several thousand troops and a number of gun boats, &c. were fitting out at Bacalar and Campeachy, for the purpose of attacking them. The English were making spirited exertions to receive them;—and had armed boats watching their movements. A flag of truce, which had been sent them by the English, had not returned when Capt. G. failed.
A letter from Rotterdam, dated Aug. 8, 1806, says, "Peace is reckoned now as nearly certain; and coffee has declined nearly to peace prices."
A letter from St. Domingo (city) Sept. 9, says—"The French have a very strong garrison here."
Extract of a letter from Curacoa, dated August 27, 1806.
"This market is completely glutted with flour, great quantities arriving within a few days. Not an article of Spanish produce at Market. The intercourse with the main has ceased. An embargo is supposed to exist there. Gen. Miranda is at Aruba."
MORE COUNTERFEITERS.
NOTTINGHAM, (N. H.) OCT. 1.
Ye day were apprehended at the store of Mr. Christopher B. Carpenter, on Nottingham Square; a person by the name of Williams who appeared from their conduct very suspicious characters: they were strangers, as will appear in the sequel, were brothers, by nature as well as in villainy.—The elder of the two called at the store of Mr. B. Bartlett, the other at Mr. Carpenter's—he who called at Mr. Carpenter's wished to purchase some calicoes and offered two counterfeit bills, one of 5, the other of 10 dollars, the five of the Farmers Exchange Bank, Gloucester, R. I. numbered 2665, payable to H. Hoid, dated June 18th, 1804, signed Mooney Smith Cashier, John Harris President, the other a one dollar bill of the Maine Bank, Portland, No. 414, payable to Samuel Stur, dated July 14th 1805, signed D. Hale Cashier, Samuel Freeman President.
After examining them it appeared they were both notoriously counterfeit; while the proceeds for their being secured was making out Mr. Carpenter took the liberty to examine the saddle of the younger Williams, and finding something uncommon, called a number of gentlemen to see William's saddle, in which they found in the pads 85 dollars in Bills of the following description, to wit, of the two banks described as above; six of the Farmers Bank, Gloucester, R. I. 5 dollars each; four of the Maine Bank, Portland, 10 dollars each.
Of the Pacific Nantucket Bank, 4 bills of five dollars each, signed Tristram Henry President, Nathan Comstock Cashier.
The left mentioned bills we have not noticed as being counterfeit or in circulation until now; and want of a true bill, which we could not obtain, prevents our giving a descriptive difference.
The five dollar bills of Nantucket Pacific Bank are well executed, of decent paper, and the signatures among strangers would pass very well: the word Nantucket written in Typography appears badly executed—these bills are dated 2d day of Dec. 1804. The villain who offered his trash at Mr. Carpenter's is now safely lodged in the prison at Exeter.
LITERARY.
The Orleans Gazette announces that a work, entitled "Discoveries made in exploring the Missouri, Red River, and Ou Chita, by Captains Lewis and Clark, Dr. Sibley, and William Dunbar, Esq. with a Statistical account of the countries adjacent—and an Appendix by Mr. Dunbar," is in the press of Mr. Marshall of Natchez, and will be speedily published. It will be comprised in a volume of 200 pages, at two dollars.
The public expectation will naturally be highly excited with respect to a work which promises information of the most interesting character. The materials collected by the gentlemen named in the title, will probably be ample, and our knowledge of their talents justifies a confidence that it will be displayed in an able and perspicuous manner.—Nat. Intell.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the arrival at Portland of the ship Packet in 42 days from Liverpool, it will be seen, that Basilio, the confidential messenger who accompanied Lord Lauderdale to Paris, returned to London the 14th August, early in the morning (one o'clock,) with dispatches; that in the course of the day a Cabinet Council convened; and at ten o'clock the same night, Basilio sat out on his return to Paris, Lord Lauderdale, it seems, had been received in the customary manner.
The arrival of Basilio occasioned a rise of the Stocks, on the forenoon of the 14th; but between one and two o'clock, they took a sudden and extraordinary retrograde movement, and Omnim fund from 10 1-4 premium to 7 1-2. Whether this decline was owing to any thing which leaked out of the Cabinet Chamber respecting the contents of the dispatches received; or to one of those freaks which so frequently agitate the stock exchange, was not said.
Mr. Fox's health was improving.—He transacted business a considerable portion of the day, the 13th August.
The expedition to the Cape of Good Hope had failed.
Parliament was further prorogued, and its dissolution expected.
The public opinion at Liverpool, at the sailing of the Packet, appeared to be, that Peace was yet remote. The sudden and unexampled fall of stocks in London—while the Cabinet was deliberating on the dispatches from Lord Lauderdale—is the strongest anti-pacific symptom we have met with. But all the facts we have been enabled to collect, we have given our readers; and they must form their own opinions. We are almost believers in pacification against conviction!
MIRANDA—AGAIN.
Capt. Gold arrived at New York, from Porto Rico, informs, that on the 8th September a Danish Schooner arrived there from the Maine, and reported, that about the 25th Aug. Miranda landed his troops in the Gulph of Coro, was joined by 10,000 natives, and it was expected would conquer the country. A letter from Porto Rico corroborates the above: these dates are recent, but whether the whole is an echo of the old story—a sheer fabrication; or has truth for its foundation, we know not.—The former is most likely.—Centinel.
The Boston Repository, is very much depressed at the idea of a peace in Europe—this may be accounted for in a way that will comprehend those papers than the Repository, and explain their fears—when England makes peace with France, say they, she will never make war again—the consequence! Her secret service money—the guineas will not circulate—Venal presses in America will not then be paid out of the sweat of English misery—to produce similar misery in America.
Aurora.
We understand that the statement made some days since in the Washington Federalist, that a relation of Mr. Monroe had passed through this city with dispatches for the president, representing that the Florida negotiation had failed, is without foundation. Mr. Bankhead, the gentleman alluded to, was only the bearer of duplicates of letters long since received.
Nat. Int.
An alarm undoubtedly exists in the Western Country from the movements of the Spaniards, and a proper spirit of vigilance and enterprise is prepared to meet it. How far the Spanish Government directs it, or what is the object, is not yet explained. These alarms have, from various causes, been so often repeated, that the minds of the western inhabitants are now prepared for a vigorous resistance to every encroachment upon the territory of the United States.—Salem Reg.
During the storm on the 19th ult. Mr. ABNER ANDRUS, son of Mr. John Andrus, of Chatham, (Conn.) aged 20, was killed by lightning. He was returning from Military exercise, on his horse, when the lightning struck his mulket, ran down his body, tearing his hat and clothes, put a pistol to his ear, and killed the horse. He was in two places and killed the horse. In his death his parents have lost an affectionate child and the Church of Christ and Society in general a valuable member.
STEPHEN BURROUGHS of Castle Island and memory, is imprisoned in Montreal, on six charges—two of forgery, one of theft, and three of misdemeanors.
The public will hear with pleasure that there is now in the press at Philadelphia, a new edition of the Vision of Columbus. In this edition the original will be greatly enlarged, and the plan essentially modified. Its typographical execution will be in the best style, and it will be embellished by superb engravings done in England.
MILITARY REVIEW.
Yesterday a review of the First Regiment of the State of New-Hampshire took place, under the orders of Col. WALKER. The Hon. Gen. STORER, was present in compleat uniform, and a thorough inspection of arms and accoutrements was made, to the approbation of the officers of the day.
On Thursday last the associated Mechanics and Manufacturers of this State, celebrated their anniversary in this town.—At 11 o'clock they formed a numerous procession at Jefferson-Hall, preceded by the Portsmouth band of Instrumental Music, and proceeded to the Rev'd Mr. Richards' meeting-house, when (after an appropriate prayer by the Rev'd Mr. Walton, and an Ode by the vocal and instrumental musicians,) Mr. JOSEPH CLARK, jr. a member of the association, rose, and delivered a very pertinent address to his brethren, which met universal approbation.—The procession again formed, and marched thro' the principal streets to mechanic-hall, and partook of an excellent entertainment provided for the occasion by Mr. John Davenport—after which, the following Toasts were drank, accompanied with music.—
Toasts: 1. Mechanics of this Association—May their pockets be the repositories of wealth; their arms a protection and asylum for the fair; and their hearts and purses ever open to relieve the necessities of widow and orphan. 2. Agriculture—May it be to the cultivator, an unfailing source of wealth, and nursery of virtue. 3. The Commerce of the United States—Free and unobstructed—may the "freight every tide, and charter every gale." 4. Literature—Watered with the dews of Heaven, may it send forth branches to the remotest parts of the earth. 5. Religion—May it ever shine with mild resplendence, and shed its prolific beams thro' the whole universe. 6. The Clergy—Modest and unassuming, may they enjoy the respect due to learning, piety and patriotism. 7. Mechanics through the World—May they never blush at their TOOLS, nor tremble at the SWORD. 8. Agriculture and Manufactures—Those sure allies in the warfare of life, which never will desert us in the hour of difficulty. 9. All Mankind—Unrobbed of those political distinctions, which poison the peace of life—May they all meet in brotherly love, at the Grand Congregation, and enjoy the blessings of immortality. 10. May the only strife that shall ever subsist in this association, be to excel in doing good. 11. May shame attend the man, who tells the Mechanic to call again for his pay, when it is in his power to discharge the demand.
VOLUNTEERS. The Orator of the Day—May the pleasing information and good counsel which dropped from his lips, be engraved on the tablet of our hearts, and we evidence to the world that we are not only the hearers, but the doers of the word.
The Music of the Day—Excellent in all its parts. By the President—Our Forefathers and the Hero of our Country—May we their sons inherit a proper portion of their fire and patriotism. By the Vice President—Our Friends the Merchants—May reciprocal dependence produce individual independence.
