State of New-Hampshire. BY THE GOVERNOR. A PROCLAMATION, For a day of public Thanksgiving & Prayer.
IT again becomes our duty as we approach the close of another year, to acknowledge in a public and solemn manner the providential kindnesses of ALMIGHTY GOD, and to adore and thank him for his great goodness and mercy in shielding us from innumerable calamities, and for dispensing to us innumerable blessings. I do therefore in conformity to the immemorial usage of the State, and by and with the advice of the Council, appoint THURSDAY the TWENTY-SEVENTH day of NOVEMBER next, to be observed as a day of PUBLIC THANKSGIVING and PRAYER ; and the Ministers and People of the respective religious societies throughout the State, are requested to meet together on that day, to offer up our humble and united thanks to our Heavenly Benefactor, for particular favours that we ourselves have received, and also for the various displays of his mighty and beneficent Providence over the interests of our Country. For the uncommon measure of health that the People of the United States, and particularly of this State, have enjoyed in the course of the last year. For granting us a bountiful supply of the early fruits of the field, and that though the labours of the husbandman have not been so abundantly blessed in the latter harvest, that still there is an ample competency of the necessaries and comforts of life for another year. For the success that he has granted to our commerce, manufactures, and fisheries. For the distinguished excellence of our civil and religious privileges, and that peace has been preferred to our Nation. For the preservation of the life and health of the PRESIDENT of the United States; the maintenance of public order; and for the prosperity and happiness that has so generally prevailed;—and above all, for a continuance of the blessings of the Gospel of Peace, the means of Grace, and hopes of future felicity.
And while we celebrate with Thanksgiving the Praises of the most High, let us humble ourselves before him for our numerous transgressions, and offer up our united and fervent prayers that he would graciously condescend to forgive them: that he would mould our hearts to a due sense of our own unworthiness, and to a holy and affectionate gratitude for all the favours which he has conferred upon us; and be pleased in his divine goodness to continue to us such as we now enjoy, and grant us an addition of any that may be for our temporal and eternal good. That he would prosper the administration of our General and State Governments, bless our Nation in all its foreign and domestic relations, and inspire those who administer its concerns, with wisdom to discern, and integrity to pursue those measures that will promote the prosperity and honour of the Country. That he would particularly take this State under his holy and superintending care, and prosper the honest labours of every class of our citizens, in their respective avocations. That he would bless the means of public instruction, smile upon our College, our Academies and Schools, and make them nurseries of piety, of virtue and of usefulness. That he would make wars and fightings to cease through the world, cause christian charity, and philanthropy to prevail, and the sanctifying fruits of his pure and holy word to spread to the uttermost ends of the earth.
And the people of this State are requested on that day to abstain from all labour and recreation, that would be inconsistent with the devotions that are hereby recommended.
Given at the COUNCIL CHAMBER in Portsmouth, this tenth day of October, in the year of our Lord, One thousand eight hundred and six, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the thirty-first.
JOHN LANGDON.
By his Excellency's Command, with the advice of the Council, PHILIP CARRIGAIN, Secretary.
SHOWERS OF GOLD!
In the early part of the American Revolution, when taxes and tax gatherers, were multiplying, like the concretion of atoms in the wasting places of Time, Mr. Granville, in the English Parliament, speaking of those lucrative births , which put a certain class of men in the way of collecting, from others, and re-collecting themselves—called them “ a golden shower of Officers .”
This “ golden shower ” then washed out about £7600 sterling, from the labors of an infant people, which was expended annually in salaries, for the officers who collected the Revenue. Afterwards, somewhere about the time of the stamp-act , or the imposed duties on tea, &c. a new set of Revenue officers were created, which made an additional “ golden shower ” of salaries, valued at about £5000 sterling, per ann.
These “ golden showers ,” became at last a heavy and destructive storm !—a tempest !—a diluge !—“when the fountains of the deep” were broken up—
And one wide ruin round, encircled all!
Happy for our Country—since that time, its resources, improvements, and prosperity, have become great and respectable. We have now no Order of the Golden Fleece connected with the Order of the Day —and the felicities of “ COLUMBIA—happy land ,” meet the just expectations of every Nation.
But, because TAXES —such as those “ golden showers ” which once drenched our fathers, and our Country in BLOOD ! are reduced on the scale of alleviation , and lessened in the inverse ratio of increasing advantage—how many murmurings, complaints, and calumniations have been uttered from the foul mouth of Federalism ;—and because an abridgment and reduction of offices returned a certain class of officers to the common ranks of citizenship—how great have been the lamentations, and increasing imprecations of the Federalists !
These things must be expected—although the good federalists would have it, that they never were Tories —that they never advocated the system of English politics —and that they never want the “ golden showers of offices ”!
(Bolton Democrat.)
FOREIGN NEWS.
LONDON, AUG. 15. “A Cabinet Council met yesterday (Aug. 14.) at one, and sat till three o'clock. At half-past ten, at night, dispatches were sent off by Basilico , the Messenger , to Lord Lauderdale , at Paris .”
“The situation in the funds yesterday, was, we believe, greater than upon any one day since the last peace. In the morning, as soon as the arrival of a messenger was known, the funds rose rather more than one per cent. but about one o'clock a sudden alteration took place:—flocks began to fall; and at one time Omnium was as low as 5 1-2 per cent. It left off at last at 6 1-4. (Aug. 4. it was 12 1-2, for money.)”
“ Lord Lauderdale reached Paris on Tuesday, (Aug. 5) and demanded an interview. The French Minister declined seeing him until Saturday or Sunday following. The separate Treaty Between Russia and France , has changed the French tone against England . Although we do not take upon ourselves to say, there is no probability of Peace, we have reason to believe it is considerably diminished.”
“We have no doubt the dispatches sent to Lord Lauderdale were of a decisive nature. It is therefore likely the negotiation will be brought to an issue, one way or the other, in a very short time.”
“ Paris and Dutch papers to the 6th and 12th of Aug. are received, but are not calculated to excite any hopes of Peace. By a decree of Aug. 3, Bonaparte has ordered out fifty thousand Conscripti . A measure which cannot be accounted for on the idea of peace. Although the French Editors pretend to give something like a reason for it.”
“Yesterday the Lord Mayor gave a splendid dinner, in honor of His Excellency Mr. Erskine , Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States .—There were present:—”
“The Lord Chancellor (father of the Minister ), Earl Spencer , Lord Ellenborough , Mr. Windham , Sir S. Couterell , &c. the Hon. Mr. Munroe , Hon. Mr. Pinkney , General Lyman , the Hon. H. Erskine , T. Erskine , and a number of others.”
PARIS, AUG. 2
The news of the signing of peace between France and Russia did not reach Germany till the end of July. It produced a sensation the more agreeable, since the movements which the troops began to make rather announced preparations for war, than an approaching return of the troops into the interior.”
Letters from Rome speak of an approaching election of five Cardinals .
The following is the Circular note addressed by the Minister of the Marine to the Maritime Prefects , and other officers, commanding in the Ports , on the occasion of the peace concluded with Russia .
JULY 23.
“Conformably to the orders of his Majesty the Emperor and King , I have to inform you, Sir , that Peace between France and Russia was signed on the 20th instant; that, from that date, hostilities should cease between the two Powers, and that all prizes made posterior to the signing of the Treaty shall be immediately restored. In consequence of these dispositions, his Majesty orders his Maritime Prefects , the Commandants of his Squadrons and ships , to consider as friends the Russian ships , to receive and treat them as such on every occasion, whether in his ports and roads , or upon their meeting at sea.”
You will be pleased, Sir , to give to these arrangements that publicity which they require, and to take without delay every measure necessary to ensure their execution. (Signed) “ DECRES. ”
The plan of a new Confederation , as it is called the league of the Rhine , by which the French Emperor is declared Protector (Head) of the German empire , was presented to the Diet of Ratisbon by the French minister , Bacher ; this Confederation consists of the Kings of Bavaria and Wirtemberg , the sovereign Prince of Ratisbon of Baden , of Hesse , Darmstadt , and of Nassau . These with a number of others have renounced the Germanic Union , and put themselves under the guarantee of the emperor of the French .
An article under Vienna head of July 26, says, the prosecution of Gen. Mack every day becomes more intricate; he accused most of the generals who served under him, and they have been ordered to appear.
A letter from an American gentleman at Bordeaux , to his friend in Baltimore , says, that large bodies of French troops were passing through Bordeaux , supposed to form an army, at Bayonne .
This force is conjectured to be intended to take possession of the Spanish provinces , to which the Emperor Napoleon lays claim
to act against Portugal —or to be prepared for an expedition against St. Domingo , in the event of a peace in Europe .
STUTGARD, JULY 29.
French troops in great numbers are marching through these parts into the interior of Germany . Another great project must be in contemplation.
Five thousand French troops lately failed from Venice , to reinforce those in Dalmatia . They were conveyed by a frigate , a corvette , and two brigs , under the French Italian flag .
COTTENBURG, AUG. 1.
On the 20th ult. a dreadful fire broke out in the town of Udewalla ; which in a short time reduced the whole town, together with the church, townhalls, iron works, &c. &c. to ashes; not a single house remains; upwards of 4000 inhabitants were burnt out.
BY THE MAILS.
There is an abundance of fact , ( important fact ) blended with some conjecture in the following letter—we recommend it to the perusal of all those who for thirteen years were so eager to plunge the American nation in a war.— (Aurora.)
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman at Bordeaux , to a friend at Baltimore dated 14th July, 1806.
“The impoverished state of Bordeaux , the stagnation of commerce and the new duties on wine, and on foreign articles of general consumption, have affected all descriptions of people here. Wines of all kinds are extremely low, and West India produce has but a nominal price. Nothing is doing but from hand to mouth; the hope, rather than the expectation of peace, has had some share, of late, in making every body wary of purchasing any article whatever.”
“Negotiations for an exchange of prisoners are going on—and has, indeed been in part accomplished: but while England insists on maritime dominion, and France is every day acquiring or consolidating continental dominion, it perplexes me to conjecture how preliminaries can be adjusted between them.”
“The kings of Naples and Holland will not descend from their thrones—so far from it, that the report of the day is, that the ancient kingdom of Navarre is to be severed from Spain , proper, and adorned with a crown of Lucien ;—and Switzerland to be constituted into a legal republic for France . Time only can develop the truth or the fallhood of such conjectures.”
“Troops have been, and are still marching in considerable bodies towards Spain ; whether for the above purpose, or for more effectually shutting out the British commerce from the Spanish ports I know not. Some people suppose that Portugal is the object.”
“No person can question that the great emperor of the French will be come, in effect, the great emperor of the west, under whatever title the power may be wielded. The effects of the great battle of Austerlitz will be felt for centuries. It has made all future coalitions against France nugatory or impracticable. Already Russia has a negotiation for peace in Paris ; and the Ottomans no longer tremble—save at the name of Bonaparte . He holds them in the hollow of his hand and bids them scorn those whom they lately feared like fate. For himself, possessing (besides all Italy , from the boot top to the toe ) both Venice and Ragusa , he will, of course, obtain the islands and territory that once constituted Grecian greatness; and this without bloodshed. The views that Russia had been nourishing on Turkey these fifty years, are vanishing day by day—the silly attempt to strengthen Corfu by seizing the mouths of the Cattaro before Austria could deliver Dalmatia to its present owner has cost much more than its own defeat. It has kept an hundred and fifty thousand troops in Germany these six months at the expense of Austria ; who is to pay near fifty millions ( tournois ) extra, for their subsistence. Austria has at last sent four thousand troops to retake the mouths of the Cattaro by consent of the court of Petersburg , who must otherwise have been at war with Austria on that point.”
“Meanwhile prince Murat is becoming an elector and prince of Germany . Cardinal Fesch is already coadjutor of the arch chancellor of the old Roman empire . The elector of Baden (junior) who is married to a new French princess , will become a king—So that if you look at the map, you will not fail to remark a consolidation of family power that must take root and extend its branches over the west and south of Europe . The rupture of the peace of Amiens , and Mr. Pitt's continental politics, have done more for the Emperor of the French in three years time than thirty could have accomplished without them.”
“The sooner Great Britain makes peace the better for herself. Every year's delay must make her condition to stipulate less eligible. This man has all the raw materials for working her ruin gradually. Her only policy is to give a peaceable direction to those raw materials. Let him have “commerce and colonies” to blunt the edge of martial enterprises, and there are chances in favor of a long peace; or if but a short one, Great Britain may find something new on the water to pillage. But if the war continues ten years longer, the conscription extending beyond the limits of France proper, will accumulate such an armed force that a million of armed men may be allotted to the invasion. What is now problematical, would then become inevitable. The means of crossing the channel in a calm, would not be confined to one point, but would embrace many. Venice , Genoa , Spain , Portugal , the ports of Holland —and even the Baltic might be used—not for maritime dominion, but absolute invasion and fearful subjugation. Among the impending perils that Great Britain should calculate upon, if the war be carried on for two years longer, no found politician can put out of sight the probability of an invasion of India by land. Dalmatia brings all France to the gates of Constantinople . Should the Ottoman heartily second his only dear friend and great ally, what the ancient conqueror of Macedonia did perform, the modern victor of Europe certainly may perform. No leader that ever swayed a sceptre knows better than Napoleon the great difference between achievements very difficult , and achievements absolutely impossible .”
“His holiness the pope is in a very declining state of health. French troops occupy all the ports of his territory. It is conjectured that the next pope will reside at Avignon ; and that, in that case, Rome , as formerly, will become the metropolis of the Italian dominions .”
“The emperor signalized his return to Paris by a measure or two that perhaps you may not have learnt. He abolished the public gambling houses throughout his dominions: He doubled, and in some instances trebled, the salaries of the judges of the tribunals: He repaired and opened sixty-two public fountains through every quarter of Paris which since the first of July have been disused living and continual streams of water.—To these eighteen more are to be added. On the 15th of August there is to be a grand festival at Paris in the field of Mars , at which the main army of Germany are expected to assist; whether merely to eat, drink and be merry, or to march afterwards to Boulogne , I know not. There is a colossal triumphal arch and column erecting near the “ Grille de Chaillot ,” so as to form a terminus to the grand vista that opens through the Elysian fields . Many hundred workmen are foundling it to the honor of the heroes of Austerlitz .”
“After the grand festival in August, a grand fair will expose, at Paris , specimens or samples of the manufactured productions of the French empire .”

The editor received much pleasure in attending the muster of the Regiments first reviewed in this Brigade ;—the 5th, Col. Burnam's , paraded in this town on Wednesday last. The 26th, commanded by Col. M'Cluer , paraded in Francestown , the day following. To Brigadier General Peirce we are indebted for an improved appearance of the Regiments in this Brigade , and from what we have seen it may fairly be concluded, that a laudable ardor for improvement is spreading through all the military classes of citizens, soldiers as well as officers, in this Brigade . There is certainly room for improvement, especially, in some companies. But the exertions of the officers, in concurrence with the spirit and promptness of their men, may effect very much in a little time. The 5th Regiment consists of 12 infantry companies, one company of artillery with a field piece. As the General, after completing the review of the Brigade , will publish General Orders , wherein those companies, which have excelled in appearance and discipline, will be noticed according to their merits, the editor forbears to make any discriminating observations.—The soldiers of the 5th regiment behaved with remarkable regularity and sobriety while assembled in the village—no quarrelling—very few instances of intoxication—a timely dispersion, without confusion, after dismissed—these circumstances do them honor. Accident.—At the review at Hampden , ( Me. ) on the 23d ult. Mr. James Pomroy , of the artillery, was severely wounded by the accidental discharge of one of the pieces, and is since dead. Two other persons were considerably injured by the same discharge. The frequency of similar accidents should teach caution to our officers of militia.
“I understand that our negotiations at Paris and Madrid are likely to prosper; and I doubt not that in London , also, our envoys will arrange matters, from all the reports that are brought from thence.

If they make peace, we must become a manufacturing people within a few years.”

BRIGADE REVIEW.
The first Brigade under command of Brigadier General Storer , was inspected and reviewed the last week in the following order, viz.—On Monday the 1st Regiment under Col. Walker , on Portsmouth Plains ;—Tuesday the 35th Regiment under Col. Goff , at Greenland ;—Wednesday the 3d Regiment under Col. Shaw , at Hampden ;—Thursday the 7th Regiment under Col. Little , at Kingston ;—Friday the 4th Regiment under Col. Leavitt , at Brentwood . The weather was remarkably pleasant, numerous spectators attended the several reviews.
The officers and soldiers of the several Regiments, merit much praise for the promptness and correctness with which they performed the various military evolutions. It is with peculiar pleasure we are enabled to trace the rapid improvements that are daily taking place in the militia of this State, and from what we have already witnessed, anticipate still further proficiency in military tactics.
The Generals and other Officers are entitled to the highest encomiums from their fellow citizens, for their spirited and unwearied attention and endeavors to raise the militia of this State, to a correctness in discipline, equal to any in our sister States, and while this laudable spirit of military ardour which they have evinced continues, we can assert with pleasing confidence, if we do not excel it will never be said we are inferior to any.
Major General Butler , attended and reviewed the two Regiments at Kingston and Brentwood , and was highly gratified with the arrangements on those days.

POSTSCRIPT.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The ship Gold Hunter, Capt. Vose, has arrived at New York, in 42 days from London. She failed from Gravesend on the 28th Aug. but did not bring any papers later than the 18th, and these were given to the Capt. of a British frigate, spoken with at sea. The passengers, it is said, announce the complete failure of the Negotiation; but furnish no particulars, on which the information is grounded.
A Mr. Halliday, one of the passengers in the Gold Hunter, is reported to be the bearer of dispatches from the American Ministers in London, to our government. These dispatches are presumed to be of considerable importance, as the existing differences between the two countries, had been very fully discussed; and their final and amicable adjustment only delayed on account of the indisposition of Mr. Fox.
LATEST FROM HOLLAND.
Capt. Tyler, arrived at Boston on Sunday last, in 48 days from Rotterdam, informs us, that a report of the failure of the Negotiation had been currently circulated in that city; and so strong was the general belief, on this subject, that articles of West India produce had risen from 15 to 20 per cent in value; and expected to advance still farther. No certain accounts had been received of this event; but it will be readily admitted that next to positive facts, the state of the funds and markets, afford the best evidence on which calculations may be formed.

"It will be remembered," says the People's Friend, "that two years ago or more, the Congressional House of Representatives came to a resolution that America must get the Floridas either by purchase or by force."
Such is the misrepresentation or misrepresentation of facts, with which this print, since it has been under the management of its new Editor has abounded. No such resolution ever passed the House of Representatives. Such an opinion was indeed avowed by a committee of that body, without, however, aligning the time when it would be necessary to acquire the Floridas. The legislature only appropriated two millions to enable the executive to negotiate. Such is the miserable trash which flows from the pens of men, totally ignorant of our affairs, and equally incapable of understanding or appreciating our principles; men, many of whom, born in foreign countries, look to the places of their nativity for the infallible standard which is to regulate all our measures. The heads of these men are full of navies, and standing armies, and executive prerogative, and national dignity, and heavy taxes, and bloody wars, and all the other stuff that enters into the definition of monarchies. These are the patriots that generously offer to enlighten us, and the prophets that warn us, unless we follow their advice, with certain ruin. [Nat. Intel.]
A Vermont paper, received on Saturday evening, announces the failure of the election in that State by the people, of a Governor. The Legislature, which commences its session this week, must therefore make the election.

We therefore positively decline publishing any thing on the subject.

PIKE'S SPELLING BOOK.
JUST published by Daniel Johnson of Portland, and now received, and for sale by wholesale and retail at the brick book-store of C. PEIRCE, Daniel Street, Portland, by the publisher in Portland, and by the booksellers generally throughout the United States.
Columbian Orthographer;
Or, First Book for Children: In which the words are methodically arranged, rationally divided into syllables; and accurately accented according to the best authorities. For the use of schools.
By JAMES PIKE.
* * * * * In vain, Without fair culture's kind parental aid, Without enlivening fun, and genial flowers, And shelter from the blast; in vain we hope The tender plant can rear its blooming head, Or yield the harvest promis'd in its spring. ARNSIDE.
Pike's Spelling Book contains 168 pages—is printed with a perfectly new type, and on much better paper than is usual to print school books upon.—The price, which is 12 1/2 per dozen, and 20 cents single, makes it the lowest school book in the Union.—The Preface, which is here subjoined, will shew the plan of the author; and the various recommendations which follow, will shew the approbation the book has already met with.
PREFACE.
Though much has been done to render the acquisition of literature easy, yet there evidently appears to be a defect in the present mode of instructing children, which in no small degree, impedes their advancement. They are often made to commence the study of etymology, before they are well grounded in principles of orthography. This being the case, it rarely happens, afterwards, that they have a relish for the study of the latter; and, of course, never acquire a sufficient knowledge of it. But a just orthography and pronunciation, however unimportant they may appear to some, are acquisitions so essential to a scholar, that for the want of them nothing can atone.
To furnish schools, therefore, with a cheap, but at the same time complete, spelling book of the English language, by which the task of instructors in teaching, and of children in learning, will in some degree, be facilitated, is the object the author has in view in compiling the following work.
In the attempt, many dictionaries have been consulted and every exertion made to render it as accurate as possible.
Fables, grammar, &c. of which other books of this kind now in use, principally consist, are excluded from this as improper, and not belonging to a spelling book.
Formerly, when schools were deficient in books in the various branches necessary to be taught, it was less culpable to crowd a spelling book with such a variety of matter; but at the present, when almost every species of learning has been separately and amply discussed, it would be quite unparadonable.
Has it not been expedient without profit to put a book, containing such a mixture of matter, into the hands of children totally unacquainted with the rudiments of spelling? Have they not destroyed many such books before they could be made to comprehend what one of them contained? This experience has amply demonstrated.
Moreover, to put a book into the hands of children, containing more than they can understand, serves rather to blunt, than to excite, their ambition for improvement. Not having sufficient strength of intellect to dive into the principles, and see the reason of things, they grow discouraged, take a distaste to study, and at length hate it.
The words of Quintilian are worthy of observation.—Great care, says he, must be taken, that the child, who cannot yet love study, should not hate it; and that the disgust he had once taken, might not deter him in more advanced years.
To insure success to instructors, it is evident what they teach should be rendered as easy and pleasing as possible. For this purpose the words are arranged in the most natural and consistent order, to lead young minds, gradually, from that which is easy to that which is difficult.
To enable children to keep their places in the book, with more ease, while reading in a class, each column is separated into four divisions; and by permitting a child to read one at a time, the task of instructors will be greatly alleviated.
The author would observe, that though the monosyllables have the characteristic types affixed to them, by which their true pronunciation is discovered, it will be needful to endeavor to explain the Key to children, till after they have gone through them; but then it will be absolutely necessary; and, with a little assistance they will readily comprehend it.
He would further remark, that causing children to spell the words, first in the book, making them strictly observe the proper division of the syllables, and then putting the same words to them to be spelled out of the book, is attended with a greater advantage than any other method.
If, in spelling or reading, a child should give a wrong sound to a vowel, it should be immediately referred to the Key, and requested to show the same vowel with its characteristic type. It should then be told to pronounce the word affixed to it; and afterwards to give the same sound to the vowel it had wrongly pronounced. For instance, if it should call a-so, a-so, it should be shown the a in ball, and told to pronounce the first syllable in the word also in the same manner. By this method, children in a short time will become perfectly acquainted with the variety of sounds which the vowels afford, and be able to pronounce any words, however difficult, with ease and propriety.
When they have gone through all the tables, and can spell words, of any number of syllables, currently in the book, it will be proper for them to go through again, and pronounce the words without spelling. At the same time the New Testament may be put into their hands; which is a book easy to be read, and contains truths the most important for them to know.
When they can read fluently in the New Testament, there are many books, eminently calculated to teach the art of reading with propriety, which may be put into their hands. The best of these should be selected; but the choice must be left to the judicious instructor.
To conclude, partly in the words of a late eminent writer—"Aware of the prejudices usually conceived by the ignorant, the envious and the illiberal, against every new attempt to render the way of learning either shorter or smoother, the Author wishes to submit the plan of his work to the judgment of those alone who are best qualified to decide on the usefulness of the design, or judiciousness of the execution."
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The importance of early impressing the minds of children with the rudiments of orthography, it is presumed none will deny; for the useful art of speaking, reading and writing with readiness and propriety, depends much on the habit of spelling and pronouncing words with accuracy.
To give a death wound, therefore to the painful, incorrect practice of directing children to read lessons, before they are able to spell and accent common words of three syllables, we cordially recommend the COLUMBIAN ORTHOGRAPHER. This work we approve, because it is as the first school book ought to be, merely a spelling book.
The tables, distinguishing the different classes of words, are judiciously arranged to facilitate the progress of children in their rudimental studies.
We think, therefore, the Author merits the patronage, as well as the gratitude of the public, for his exertions to promote the interest of the rising generation; and we heartily recommend this book to instructors, as better calculated to answer the design of a spelling book, than any that has hitherto been published.

THE TORMENTOR.
A PETRIFYING plague there is, Which fours the sweetest cup of bliss, And clouds life's brightest sun; Of happiness the worst alloy, The mortal foe of every joy, Videlicet—a Dun!
Not old Medusa's fabled head, Who's dreadful eyes could turn, 'tis said, The boldest form to stone; E'er quenched the blaze of mirth, or ty'd, With magic spell, the form of pride, Like this aforesaid Dun!
Hard fates, alas! the luckless wight, Whose sleep can neither day nor night This rude tormentor shun; Who, at each corner, crook and turn, Where'er his weary feet sojourn, Is haunted by a Dun!
Ambition drops her busy schemes, Avarice awakes from golden dreams, Blithe Wit abjures his fun, Pride sinks her bold aspiring crest, E'en potent Genius stoops, oppressed, Before the mighty Dun!
Muse! tell how oft thy angel song Has led my captive soul along, With more than mortal tone; How I, entranc'd, while thou hast smil'd, Have wak'd, the sweet enchantment spoil'd, By an intruding Dun!
Let toil my haggard limbs embrown, Let want and sickness weigh me down; Gout, fever, cholick, stone; Give me a scold in marriage noose, And e'en Old Nick himself let loose, But save me from a Dun!
Our readers will please to recollect our publishing some time since, that a certain Mrs. ROBERTS, of this town, had been safely delivered of THREE beautiful and healthy boys, each weighing 7 pounds, at one birth—From the 'Observatory' we republish the following account, as a match for the above:
"The wife of Major JOSIAH DWIGHT, of Northampton, (Mass.) was, on Wednesday last, delivered of THREE beautiful and perfect GIRLS, all weighing 21 pounds; who, with their prolific mother, are in perfect health."
May three sweet girls, in Hymen's silken joys, Be joined, at least, to three as lovely boys; May each as fertile as her mother be, And kiss the world, at once, with 3 times 3.

1807.
The good old genuine SEWALL's ALMANACS for 1807 JUST published and for sale at CHARLES PEIRCE's Bookstore, by the thousand, hundred, groce, dozen, or single.
For several years this Almanac has lain dormant, but so great has been the enquiry, and so universal the lamentation, that the publication of it should cease, that the present publisher has prevailed on Mr. Sewall to revive it again. And he hopes the public will again evidence their partiality for the fame, by a generous purchase.
Price 6 cents single, 2/3 per dozen, and 21/ per groce. Oct. 7.
REMOVED. Nathaniel Marshall,
HEREBY informs his Friends, Customers, and the Public, that he has Moved from the Shop, lately occupied by him in his late dwelling, to a store on the Northwardly side of Buck-street, next door below the dwelling house of Captain Thomas B. Stevens, and nearly opposite the brick-store occupied by Capt. Jacob Cutter, where he continues to carry on his business in the GROCERY line and ENGLISH GOODS, as formerly; and where punctilious attendance will be given and every exertion used to oblige his customers, and the smallest favor gratefully acknowledged.
Said MARSHALL calls on all persons indebted to him either by Note or Book debt, to pay their respective balances, without delay, in order to prevent the disagreeable necessity of putting their accounts and notes in the hands of an Attorney for collection. Portsmouth, September 16, 1806.
