The PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
To both Houses of Congress, amply repays the anxiety of the public to obtain light of it. We learn with pleasure, from the flourishing state of the Treasury, that the principles of the Inaugural Address have been put into practice, and are now "in the full tide of successful experiment." What the enemies of JEFFERSON would allow to be no more than empty profession, has been abundantly realised, to the honor of the Administration, and the lasting benefit of the country. The whole community must now be sensible of the practicability of an economical system of government; and without a single rational motive for opposition, all should heartily unite in support of it. Let the honest and industrious Farmers and Mechanics read the Message, and note well the important facts it contains.—They will not, they cannot stand opposed to an Administration which protects them in every right; which does not extort from "the mouth of labour the bread it has earned," but constantly busies itself in securing to Industry the fruits of its toil, and to Ingenuity the rewards of its Invention. To secure likewise to the merchant the unmolested pursuit of his enterprises, and to the man of leisure and fortune, the undisturbed possession of his wealth, are objects, which equally with the interests of the Farmer and Mechanic, engage the earnest attention of the wise and virtuous statesman, who now presides over our national councils. Can these respectable classes of the community then, have any solid grounds of objection to his principles or his measures? No—they will see their own interest—they will study to promote their own happiness—and we may therefore conclude they will generally fall into the ranks of Republicanis , and unite cordially with their brethren, the Farmers and Mechanics , in support of a system which must immortalize its authors, while it rebounds to the future glory of our country, & marks the age which gave it birth as the most interesting epoch in the annals of mankind.—Albany Register.

REPORT
OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
IN obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act, entitled, "An Act to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following REPORT.
The permanent Revenues of the United States, exclusively of fees, fines and penalties, which in a general view of the subject, may be omitted, consist of, duties on Merchandise and Tonnage; proceeds of the sales of public Lands, and duties on Postage.
The duties on postage which were, in the annual report of last year, estimated at 50,000 dollars, have, during the year ending on the 30th day of September last, yield 50,530 dollars.—The decrease of ship letters, the extension of the establishment through unproductive roads, and the acceleration of the progress of the mail, may, however, cause some defalcation in the receipts of the ensuing year.
Three hundred and twenty six thousand and fifty-two dollars and eight cents have been received during the same year, on account of public lands, of which sum 17,162 dollars and 50 cents were paid in the Treasury, in evidences of the public debt, and 179,875 dollars and 52 cents in specie. The local situation of the land offices not having yet rendered it practicable to draw the balance from the receivers of public monies.
Three hundred and forty thousand acres of land have been sold for six hundred and eighty thousand dollars, during the year ending on the 31st day of October last; of which quantity near ninety-seven thousand acres were sold on account of pre-emptions claimed by purchasers under John Clevv Symmes, and two hundred and forty-three thousand acres, are the result of CURRENT SALES. The annexed statement (A) designates the quantities respectively sold in the several districts, and the annual payments receivable on account of the balance of nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars due, on these and on the preceding sales.
From these several results it appears probable that the annual receipts under this head, will not, on an average, fall short of the sum of four hundred thousand dollars, at which they have been estimated.
Although it had been anticipated that the receipts in the Treasury, on account of duties on merchandise and tonnage could not, for the present year, be affected by the restoration of peace in Europe, yet the sum actually paid has exceeded the most sanguine expectations: Twelve millions, two hundred and eighty thousand dollars have been received during the course of the year end-
ing on the 30th day of September last; a sum larger, by two millions of dollars, than the amount received for the same duties during the preceding or any other year; and which exceeds, by twelve hundred thousand dollars, the aggregate heretofore collected, in any one year, on account of both the IMPOST and the INTERNAL DUTIES, imposed by an act of last session.
This excess, which had not been calculated upon, is considered, alone, as amply sufficient to cover any possible defalcation which might, during the next and ensuing year, reduce that branch of the Revenue, below last year's estimate of nine millions five hundred thousand dollars. Such defalcation is not, however, apprehended, for although there are not yet sufficient data, precisely to ascertain the effect of peace on the amount of duties, those which are in the possession of this Department, tend to corroborate the presumption, that that sum, at least (nine millions and an half) will hereafter be annually received. The statement (B.) which exhibits a comparative view of that Revenue, for each quarter during the last two years, shows that the amount of duties accrued during the nine first months of the present year, exceeds eleven millions three hundred thousand dollars, and after deducting three millions five hundred thousand dollars, amount of debentures issued during the same period, on account of the re-exportations of foreign goods, leaves for those three quarters, a balance of more than seven millions eight hundred thousand dollars, subject to no other deduction than the expenses of collection; and from the knowledge already obtained of the importations during the present quarter, as well as from the gradual diminution of re-exportations, no doubt remains that the net revenue accruing during the whole year, will exceed the estimate.
From present appearances, the whole of the permanent REVENUE of the UNITED STATES may therefore be reasonably computed at ten millions of dollars—of which sum, seven millions three hundred thousand dollars are appropriated for the payment of the principal and interest of the Public Debt, and two millions seven hundred thousand dollars are applicable to the current expenses of Government.
According to the estimates for the year 1803, those expenses will, exclusively of a sum of 180,000 dollars, wanted to cover the Navy deficiencies of the years 1801 and 1802, but including fundy permanent appropriations which make no part of the annual estimates; amount to 2,660,000 dollars: to wit.
  For the Civil Department, and all Domestic Expenses of a civil nature. 680,000   For the expenses attending the intercourse with foreign Nations, including prize causes and Barbary powers, 250,000   For the Military and Indian departments, 830,000   For the Naval establishment, calculated on a supposition that six frigates shall be kept in constant employment, 900,000   Dollars, 2,660,000 
Neither the payments due on account of the convention with Great Britain, and which will, for three years, amount annually to eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars, nor the installments and interests due on account of the 200,000 dollars loan obtained from the state of Maryland, for the City of Washington, are included in that calculation; as they may be defrayed out of the following resources which make no part of the PERMANENT REVENUES, viz.
1st. The surplus of specie in the treasury which, as the whole amount there will not at the close of the present year, fall much short of five millions of dollars, far exceed the sum which it is prudent to keep.
2d. The uncollected arrears of the DIRECT TAX, estimated at four hundred thousand dollars.
And 3dly. The outstanding uncollected INTERNAL DUTIES, amounting to near seven hundred thousand dollars.
The only embarrassment experienced during the course of last year, arose from the difficulty of procuring the remittances necessary to meet the large installments of the debt due in Holland. The impossibility of obtaining bills on that country, to the amount wanted by government, and the loss which, on account of the rate of exchange, must be incurred by remitting circuitously thro' England induced the secretary of the treasury to recommend, in a report to the commissioners of the SINKING FUND, (marked C.) a recourse to bank stock as the most favorable mode of remitting.
Of the five thousand shares in the stock of the bank of the United States, originally subscribed by the United States, 2,780 shares had been sold in the year 1796, by virtue of the act, intituled "An act making provision for the payment of certain debts of the United States;" and for the purpose of discharging a part of the debt due to the bank. The remaining 2,220 shares were now, under the same authority, sold at 45 per cent. advance: the 1,287,600 dollars which they produced were, in conformity to the provisions of the said act, applied towards discharging an equal amount of that part of the debt which had become due to the bank before or during the year 1796; and the purchaser of the stock, sold, at the same time, to the treasury, an equal sum in bills on Holland at 41 cents per guilder; the securing of which large amount, at that rate, was

the inducement on the part of government to dispose of the bank stock on those terms. As the dividend usually received on the bank stock sold, and the annual interest payable on the debt due to the bank, thus extinguished, were nearly equal, the July half yearly dividend on the stock, was in fact the premium paid for the purpose of effecting the remittance; and government has thereby been enabled to obtain, without raising the price of exchange, the whole amount wanted to meet the payments due in Holland, till the month of September 1803.
Exclusively of, and in addition to the debt of 1,287,600 dollars thus paid to the Bank, out of the proceeds of the sales of Bank Shares; a sum of eight millions three hundred and thirty-four thousand, seven hundred and fifty-seven dollars and eighty-nine cents, has been paid out of the treasury during the year ending on the 30th day of September last, on account of the principal and interest of the Public Debt , and the payments in part of the principal of the debt, made during the same period, have been as followeth:—
  1st. The payments on account of the principal and interest of the Domestic Debt , have been 4,628,105 39   From which deducting one year's interest on the same, 3,470,259 75   Leaves a sum applied to the reimbursement of the principal of the six per cent and deferred stocks, of 1,157,845 64   2d. Paid to foreign officers, and for the registered debt, 9,603 18   3d. Principal of domestic loans (exclusively of the 1,287,600 dollars paid out of the proceeds of Bank Shares) 202,400   4th. Evidences of public debt paid for lands, 17,162 80   5th. The payments on account of the principal and interest of the foreign debt have been, 3,310,874 32   From which sum deducting 1 year's interest and charges, equal to 462,731   And an account of the different rates at which bills have been purchased, and of sundry bills returned for non-payment, & now in suit, a further sum of 82,284 98   545,015 98 
  Leaves applicable to payment of the principal, 2,765,858 34   Amounting altogether to 4,152,869 66   And if to that sum shall be added the dollars paid on account of the principal of the debt due to the Bank, out of the proceeds of the sale of the bank shares the 5,440,469 66 
total amount of debt extinguished during that year, will be found to exceed five millions, four hundred and forty thousand dls.
The balance of specie in the treasury which, on the 1st day of October 1801, amounted to 2,948,713 dollars and 73 cents, had increased on the 1st October 1802, to the sum of 4,539,675 dollars and 57 cents, making a difference in favor of the treasury, of 1,590,962 dollars and 84 cents: which last sum added to the above mentioned payment of 4,152,869 dollars and 66 cents made out of the treasury on account of the principal of the public debt, makes an actual difference in favor of the United States, of more than five millions, seven hundred and forty thousand dollars, during that year.
The payments on account of the principal of the Public Debt , from the 1st day of April 1801, to the 30th day of September 1802, (exclusively of and in addition to the Bank Debt discharged out of the proceeds of Bank Shares) amounts to Dollars, —viz.— 5,339,886 44
  On account of the Domestic Debt , 1,334,942 81   On account of the Foreign Debt , 3,302,543 63   And in re-payment of temporary Loans 702,400   5,339,886 44 
And if to that sum shall be added the increase of specie in the Treasury, during the same period, which (as the amount on the 1st of April 1801, did not exceed 1,794,044 dollars and 85 cents) amounts to 2,745,630 72
the difference in favor of the U. States, 8,085,517 16
for those eighteen months will be found equal to eight million, eighty-five thousand five hundred and seventeen dollars and sixteen cents.
Of the annual appropriation of 7,800,000 dls. for the principal and interest of the Public Debt , near three millions, nine hundred thousand dollars will be wanted to pay the interest which falls due in the year 1803, and the residue, amounting to three millions, four hundred thousand dollars may be considered as the sum applicable, during that year to the extinguishment of the principal of the public debt.
From all which it results, that so long as the United States shall not be afflicted by any unforeseen calamity, and whilst the public Expenditures shall be kept within their present limits, there does not appear any necessity
for increasing the public Revenues . All which is most respectfully submitted by ALBERT GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury. Treasury Department, Dec. 16, 1802.

National Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MONDAY, DEC. 27.
On motion of Mr. Mitchell, ordered that 500 copies of the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury of the 16th inst. be printed for the use of the members.
Mr. Davis observed that he was of opinion that a member of the House retained his seat contrary to the spirit and sense of the constitution. It, therefore, became his duty to offer a resolution for instituting an enquiry into the subject, in doing which he disclaimed all personal view. He then made the following motion:
Resolved that the committee of elections be, and they are hereby instructed to enquire whether John P. Van Nels, one of the members of this House from the state of New-York returned by said state to serve as one of its members in the seventh Congress of the United States, has not, since his election as a member of this House, and since he occupied a seat as a member, accepted of and exercised the office of a major or militia under the authority of the United States within the Territory of Columbia, and thereby forfeited his right to a seat as a member of this House.
Mr. Mitchell considered the point as interesting in two relations; that which involved the decision of a principle, and that which went to deprive the state, (New-York) one of whose representatives he was, of a member. For these reasons he hoped the business would not be immediately pressed. He acknowledged this was not the first intimation he had received of the contemplation of such a motion; but he had entertained a hope that the gentleman, with whom it originated, had, on reflection, considered it not inconsistent with his duty, to abandon it.
Mr. Davis replied that he felt no disposition to press a decision. He had communicated, the first day he took his seat, his ideas on the subject to certain members, the friends of the gentleman implicated by the resolution, in hopes that he would resign. He now entertained no wish to push the business. He supposed, however, that the resolution would of course go to the committee of elections. He repeated that he was governed by no personal prejudices, but entirely by a sense of duty. He concluded with saying he was in favor of the question of reference being immediately taken.
But on Mr. Mitchell repeating his desire for some delay, Mr. Davis agreed to let the resolution lie till to-morrow.
Leave of absence was granted to Mr. Dawson till Thursday:—to Mr. Huger till Friday; and to Mr. Campbell for one week.
TUESDAY, DEC. 28.
A message was received from the President of the United States, inclosing plans and estimates for a Dry Dock on the Eastern Branch of the Potomac, capable of containing twelve frigates of 44 guns.
The proposed plan, in an accompanying report to the Secretary of the Navy, is exhibited, at considerable length, by Mr. Latrobe; with estimates for two plans; one for supplying the Dock with water from the Tyber, the expense of which is estimated at 27,000 dollars; the other for supplying it from the Potomac at the Little Falls, the expense of which is estimated at 228,000 dollars.
Referred to the Committee to whom was referred so much of the President's Message as relates to Dry Docks.
A letter was received through the Speaker, and read, from James M c Henry, containing certain animadversions on the Report of the Committee of Investigation, made during the last session.
Considerable progress having been made by the Clerk in the reading of the above letter, Mr. Alston said that the paper which the Clerk was reading appeared to him to be a very voluminous one, and that he did not think the House were bound to listen to the reading of it.
The Speaker said that it was a rule of the House that when the reading of a paper is called for, it shall be read, unless dispensed with by general consent.
Mr. Bacon was at a loss to decide on the propriety of reading or not reading these papers. He perceived that they contained not only a complaint, but a high charge against a committee of the House, stating that the major part assumed to act exclusively upon the business assigned to the whole committee, without consulting the other members. This was a high charge. Whether proper or regularly made, he did not know. It was rather his opinion that the House ought to proceed in reading the papers, and afterwards to pass proper order on them.
The Speaker declared the rule for reading imperative, and Mr. Alston withdrew his motion; on which the Clerk proceeded in the reading, which was continued for more than an hour.
Mr. Davis said he was so tired of the papers, and thought the precedent so bad a one, that he appealed from the decision of the chair.
Mr. Dana called for the yeas and nays. The question was taken, according to a rule, without debate, on the question "Is the decision of the chair in order?"
Carried in the affirmative—Yeas 62, Nays 16. On which the reading was continued till a quarter past two o'clock.
Extracts from a letter, dated Washington, Dec. 31, 1802.
"The house of representatives was this day deliberating with closed doors: I am informed that this was in consequence of a message from the President of the United States to congress, respecting the violation of one of the articles of the treaty between the U. S. and Spain, by the proclamation of the intendant of New Orleans. Nothing has yet transpired, if there should, rely on receiving immediate information. The public mind with you must have been much agitated on account of the unwarrantable conduct of the Spanish intendant, and I make no doubt the feds endeavoured to keep up the cry of war, &c. much anxiety has been felt here also—I rejoice to see such a general interest taken on the subject by all parties, but believe me those among the federalists who are loud are the least sincere; they would plunge us into a war to-morrow, provided they could establish their favorite energetic government but they will not succeed."
For the N. H. Gazette. To the Citizens of New-Hampshire.
FRIENDS & BRETHREN!
AS the important period is fast approaching, when we shall be called on to give our suffrages for State-Officers —it is the incumbent duty of all who feel interested in a Government predicated on Republican principles, to Unite in the choice of such men as have been found faithful to the cause of Liberty.
This State has been justly famed for their zealous efforts during our revolutionary struggle in shaking off the yoke of Britain; and no State in the Union can boast of more noble achievements than were performed by her sons, from its commencement in 1775, to the year 1783, when it terminated in the acknowledgment of our INDEPENDENCE —a period of eight long years! Those who are now living, and were actors in the bloody scene, can better feel than describe the horrors which they had to encounter; not only to combat the power of a great and powerful nation, but to contend with, and counteract the machinations of our internal foes—denominated Tories . Who, at that memorable epoch, could have thought that in so short a time after gaining that LIBERTY for which we fought—should so far lose sight of its inestimable value as to hazard the loss of it, by a mistaken confidence in these very men , who, ought always to be held in a state of degradation ?—Notwithstanding which, we have seen our beloved country so much at the disposal of such men—under the sanction of Federalism , (falsely called) as had brought it to the verge of ruin, by measures which they had found means to adopt, and were hastening on by rapid strides to annihilate every vestige of Liberty. Roused at length by the repeated " Bold Strokes " of Federalism —"THE PEOPLE," by a very great majority have re-asserted their Rights , by wresting from the hands of full-blooded Monarchists , that Power which they never ought to have been invested with, and placing it where it now is, in a National point of view .—And shall we, the sons of New-Hampshire be the last to attend to our dearest interests ?—No! Forbid it Heaven! Forbid it my Fellow-Citizens—by attending punctually the annual meetings in March next; then and there to Vote for REPUBLICANS , who "dare be honest in the worst of times"—Men, who have stood the shafts of calumny during the reign of terror ; and are, in every point of view, far superior to those who are advocates for modern federalism , alias monarchy , composed of Old Tories and Apostates .
From the best information, I am warranted to say, that our worthy old Friend and Patriot,
JOHN LANGDON, Esq. will be handsomely supported as the Republican candidate for GOVERNOR; and it is to be wished, that all those who mean to do right, but have unfortunately been misled by federal artifice, would return from their delusion , and unite with their republican friends, who are always ready to view with a favorable eye their well disposed, but too credulous brethren.
And whereas, it is equally important to effect a change in the SENATE—It is therefore the opinion of numbers, that the Gentlemen hereunto named will be very acceptable as Senators—viz.
 CLEMENT STOREY, for the 1st district.  NICHOLAS GILMAN, do. sd do.  JAMES GIBSON, do. 3d do.  RICHARD JENNESS, do. 4th do.  JOHN M c DUFFEE, do. 5th do.  DAVID COPP, do. 6th do.  ROBERT ALCOCK, do. 7th do.  JAMES FLANDERS, do. 8th do.  JAMES THORNTON, do. 9th do.  ELISHA WHITCOMB, do. 10th do.  AMASA ALLEN, do. 11th do.  WILLIAM TARLTON, do. 12th do. 
At the same time let us not forget that our COUNCIL is no less necessary to be republican than the other branches; and if a strong desire to promote the interest of the State, will give a sanction to a further nomination, I would propose the following list for Councillors—viz.
 LEVI BARTLETT, Rockingham county.  JOSEPH BADGER, Strafford do.  BENJAMIN PEAKE, Hillsborough do.  NAHUM PARKER, Cheshire do.  MOODY BEDELL, Grafton do. 
Thus far have I progressed in the several nominations of State Officers; and am happy to know that my republican friends in this quarter perfectly coincide in opinion—and do accordingly recommend them to all who are desirous of having suitable characters elected into office. But before I conclude, beg leave to suggest the importance of attending to the choice of Representatives , which above all others should be truly Republican, as they hold the purse strings , and ought to be selected with great circumspection.
A Republican of '75.
John A. Grahame, Esq. of Rutland, Vermont, has been appointed Clerk to the Senate of the United States, in the room of Samuel A. Ovi.

Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, JAN. 13, 1803.
THE Publishers of the New-Hampshire Gazette, present their congratulations to their Customers, on the propitious commencement of the New-Year; felicitating themselves with the rational prospect, that the events of 1803, will, like those of the preceding, highly advance the glorious Cause of Freedom, & the great and important interests of the United States. As they have, to the utmost of their power, been attentive to those interests, they pledge themselves to the public that they will not relax in their attention; and that their paper shall be ever open to all fair and candid writers on political subjects, though they may, perhaps, in various respects differ from each other in their political sentiments.
Freedom of discussion is, more than any country in the globe, peculiar to America; and great are the advantages she is continually receiving from the pens of the learned disseminating the most valuable knowledge; confirming and establishing our Countrymen in the ennobling principles of Liberty and universal Benevolence; who, while they duly exercise the faculties derived to them from Heaven, in "examining, comparing and contrasting for themselves," will rise superior to all the arts of deception employed by those who are inimical to their interests, and who are indefatigable in their endeavours to subvert the principles of our Constitution and government.
Pleased as we are, with the successful exertions of the administrators of our government for the public security and happiness, and with a System operative to the promotion of the greatest public good, at the least possible expence, we gladly receive every effort of genius to enlarge the views of the Community in regard to the great ends of government, & the most rational and philanthropic measures to accomplish those ends.
The extensive and increasing Circulation of the GAZETTE, and the satisfaction evidenced by great numbers of our respectable subscribers, with our last years Numbers, will serve to invigorate our exertions to render the succeeding years papers, in every respect both useful and entertaining.—It was thus we were about to congratulate the PUBLIC on the Commencement of the New Year, when the awful conflagration, in the week preceding it, arrested the effusions of our patriotism and our gratitude, and called us, by a voice Divine and truly solemn, to realize the uncertainty of all sublunary things!
Involved in the general distress of that tremendous scene, and, with many of our suffering fellow-citizens, having a resting place to seek from the havoc and destruction of the devouring flames, we are at length, by Divine Providence [which ever mingles mercies with judgments] in a capacity of pursuing our line of business, after having sustained considerable loss. From the generous spirit of humanity and benevolence, which inspires Americans, and the citizens of this State, we cannot but agreeably flatter ourselves, that our customers and advertising friends, will readily comply with our requests, for the settlement of their accounts to the 6th of next month, which completes the term of one year, since we undertook the publication of this paper. May every sufferer, by the distressing calamity with which Heaven has seen fit to visit us, be abundantly compensated by the all-benevolent BEING, who never forsakes the children of men, but for their greater good!
In our last, we recorded with pleasure the liberal donations of the respectable Farmers of Greenland to the greatly afflicted sufferers by the late dreadful fire in this town. We have now with heartfelt satisfaction to mention that on Saturday last, fourteen teams were driven in from Rye, loaded with Wood, Corn, Pork, Butter, &c. And that handsome donations have been made from Exeter, Concord, Newbury-Port, &c. And we hear that Stratham, North-Hill, Kensington, Newmarket, Dover, Durham, and almost every town in the State, is following the above praiseworthy example.—What a satisfaction it is to see multitudes of people, feeling for, and endeavoring to alleviate others woes! May Heaven bless all such, in basket and in store.—They are assured that every favor is received with sincere gratitude by the distressed sufferers.
FIRE AT BOSTON!
On Saturday evening last, about half past six o'clock, a Fire was discovered in the Museum owned by Mr. Daniel Bowen, in Common-street; which destroyed said building with all its curiosities, and three others, adjacent, occupied by Wm. Dayle, Mrs. Pollard, Maj. Thomas Burnside, and Othello Pollard. Scarcely had the inhabitants of Boston, extinguished the above Fire before they were aroused by the breaking out of another at the north part of the town on the widow Burdick's Wharf, bottom of Cross-street, in a work shop of Mr. Elijah Loring, joiner, which consumed that and the adjacent building.
We are requested by the best authority to inform the Canal Editor and his Portsmouth correspondent, that the Fire Engines in this town were all in complete repair when first called into action, but in consequence of great exertions and lack of water two of them were soon injured, the others remain sound.
From the HAVANA, DEC. 16.
"The demand for Horses has been but a temporary affair, and is now over; after the expiration of this month, no merchandise, of any description, will be allowed entry in American bottoms."
We hear, from good authority, that NATH'L GILMAN, Esq. has declined being considered as a candidate for Senator the ensuing year; and it is hoped NICHOLAS GILMAN, Esq. will be elected in his stead.
OLD SOUTH.
Subscriptions received at the Book-store of N. S. & W. Peirce, until the 1st of February, for printing the political writings of OLD SOUTH, as published in the Chronicle. The whole to be comprised in one large octavo volume of about 400 pages; the price to subscribers will be one Dollar, only, bound in boards. To non-subscribers, one Dollar and twenty-five cents.
Melancholy! Melancholy, indeed! It is with feelings of painful regret, that we announce the death of Capt. MOSES WOODWARD, jun. of this place.—This estimable fellow-citizen, whose premature death, we sincerely lament, was master of the sloop Amy; and at the moment, which has deeply wounded the feelings of the tenderest connexions, he was bound from Grenada, to Georgetown, (S. C.) The morning of the 8th of December, was ushered in by a violent, sudden, and uncommonly severe gale of wind. Capt. Woodward, ever attentive to the preservation of his people, fixed the helm, with a determination, to do all that could be done; and if they eventually foundered, to have the satisfaction that he had faithfully fulfilled the duties of a good and able pilot. A very heavy sea struck the Sloop, in a few minutes made a complete breach from starboard to larboard; parted the tiller rope, on the weather side, and unhappily swept Capt. Woodward over the quarter rail. Every possible effort was made to save his valuable life. He reached the main sheet; grasped it in his hands; and being unable to retain his hold, in consequence of the injury received, by the stroke, which threw him into the ocean, he calmly bowed with resignation to his fate, and said—"I must go;" soon after which, he sunk beneath the turbulent wave, and rose no more, to mortal view.—We sympathize with an amiable widow; we feel, for a bereaved father. We mourn his loss to an afflicted brother, and a sorrowing sister. They are feelingly commended to the best benedictions of Heaven. We shall go to him. He shall not return to us.
[Died]—In this town Mrs. Hannah Shores, aged 75; Mrs. Neal; Miss Elizabeth Gee Symes aged 10 years.

Dr. Jenkins says, "I have deliberately perused Mr. Edwards' book, but as to the word Candid, I found no traces of it, or pretensions to it, except in the title page. But candor ought to be the vehicle in which truth is brought to light; and I think Mr. Edwards would have better recommended this work, if, while he studied Pseudobaptism, he had studied also that charity which suffereth long, and is kind, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, nor easily provoked, &c. &c." It is hoped every person who has read D. O. alias Peter Edwards' book, will also read this. Portsmouth, Jan. 18.

MISCELLANY.
Extract from a Pamphlet entitled, "Recent proofs of a DEFLECTION from the CHRISTIAN RELIGION."—No. VI. Of the 18th New-Hampshire Election Sermon. Concluded from our last.
The first is drawn from reason—Religion, it is said, promotes happiness in society, therefore reason dictates that civil Rulers should promote what has such a friendly influence on social happiness.—How often is this argument to be repeated after being fully answered?—What religion is the magistrate to promote? answer—that of his own choosing, no doubt—Who gave him a right to choose a religion for the people? answer—no body—How is he to promote religion? can he convince the mind? No no—But can he not make laws, that shall make outside conformists, and hypocrites? answer, doubtless he can. And he can exert himself officially and severely against all who will not dissemble, and outwardly conform.—Thus stands the argument from reason; and here let it remain.
That from scripture may be thus summed up. Kings and Judges are called to serve the LORD with fear—Therefore they are to make and execute laws to support the cause and Kingdom of HIM against whom all human councils, all efforts of earthly Rulers, are vain.—Kings and Queens are to be made subservient to the children of the church, as nursing fathers and mothers are made the instruments of preservation to infants; they should therefore nurture the church, by acts of incorporation; benefits, good living, and salaries to its ministers:—Altho' Christ's Law in his word, was in early times found quite sufficient for the support of his ministers.
I leave the preacher in full possession of this argument also, without a reply.
His third is drawn from the constitution of the state, and it would be quite unanswerable but for a defect before hinted at: viz. that the makers of the constitution had no authority at all on the subject. Christ, did not, and the people could not give them any.—The preacher having thus cleared his way, opens the wishes of the order.—We neither ask, says he, nor desire any religious establishments. We ask (our political fathers) that by wise and equal laws, which accurately distinguish and guard the rights of conscience, they make provision for the support of those public religious institutions, &c.—"The enacting of laws, adds he, for this benevolent purpose, the constitution of the state has expressly made the duty of the legislature." He then quotes the constitution as to adequate provision for the support and maintenance of public protestant teachers of piety, religion and morality.—Thus it is urged as a duty to make laws to support an order, which in these degenerate days, cannot depend on the old provision once made, and always found adequate for gospel ministers.—Considering the argument from the friendly connexion in Judah, between the civil and ecclesiastical powers, to what it is conceived, ought to take place now, we need not wonder at the request for pensions secured by law.—The joint efforts of these two powers were, says the sermon, excited of old in promoting the civil and religious interests of the nation.—Now as the preacher, had been labouring for the civil interests by a long lecture, showing how the nation ought to be governed, he might think it very natural and proper, that the General Court should in turn, promote the interests of the ecclesiastical rulers, by making laws to insure to them adequate salaries.
To close the observations on this discourse; we may observe in it several marks of Antichrist. Such as preaching politics instead of Christ crucified—minding earthly things.—Expressing and exciting discontent, murmuring and reproaches against Rulers.—Seeking to state Rulers for support; and urging it on them as a duty to patronize what is called christianity, and provide pensions for its teachers.—Symbolizing with the church of Rome, by the representation "of the destruction of religious order" in France.—Whoever will compare this sermon with the scripture, or rather try it by that standard, may see room for many more observations on the spirit of it.

The first book of Anti-Christ.
CHAPTER III.
1. NOW it came to pass, after these things, that CHRIST shewed himself to his disciples after his resurrection, and comforted their hearts in their troubles.
2. And forty days after his resurrection, he commanded his Ministers to declare the power of his resurrection to all the world.
3. Now it came to pass that when he had given them commandment, he ascended up to Heaven, to the great joy of the angels, and his disciples.
4. And being received by his Father, he sat down with him on his throne to reign forever.
5. Now it came to pass that ten days after his ascension, he sent down his Spirit to assist his ministers in performing what he had commanded them.
6. And as they began to speak to the people, there came such an invisible power on them, that great multitudes believed that CHRIST was risen from the dead.
7. Now it came to pass that CHRIST's ministers not only preached with power; but they wrought such miracles that filled all the people with astonishment.
8. (For a lame man was healed, and walked, and leaped, and praised GOD.)
9. And when Anti-Christ saw what was done he was grieved, and all his friends with him, and said unto them,
10. Let us take these men and imprison them, until we conclude what to do with them, (for it was now even tide.)
11. And it came to pass on the morrow that Anti-Christ called together his servants, friends and relations, and said unto them,
12. (Now those who were with Anti-Christ were the high Priests, the Captain of the Temple, the Sadducees, the Rulers, the Elders and the Scribes.)
13. These men have done a notable miracle, and we cannot deny it; but that it proceed no further, let us charge them that they speak no more in this name.
14. Then they called them and charged them never to mention the name of CHRIST in that city; but they told them that they should obey their own King.
15. Now it came to pass that after these things there was one Stephen, a faithful friend of CHRIST, who disputed with Anti-Christ's friends and overcame them.
16. And because they could not withstand him, they privately engaged men to hurt his character, and to say that they had heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and the most High GOD.
17. When this came to Anti-Christ's ears he said these things are so, and though Stephen proved what he spake, yet they put him to death by stoning him with stones.
18. Now when this was done the friends of CHRIST were scattered abroad, and went every where preaching CHRIST.
19. Then was Anti-Christ glad that those who troubled th'ir Israel , were departed from them; but when he heard that other cities had received them, and that many believed on CHRIST through them;
20. He sent a young man by the name of Saul to bring all the friends of CHRIST bound to Jerusalem to be examined before Anti-Christ.
21. And as he went on his way CHRIST met him, and said unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me! and as he spake he shot an arrow which overcame him so that he fell to the ground.
22. After this he became an hearty friend to CHRIST, and faithfully preached his doctrine in the world.
23. Now when Anti-Christ heard this, he and all his friends were much cast down in their own eyes; for they were convinced that CHRIST's power was above theirs.
24. And Anti-Christ called together his friends and said unto them ye see that notwithstanding all our opposition to CHRIST, yet his Kingdom is increasing and ours is decreasing.
25. Let us choose faithful men, and send into all places where CHRIST is preached, to oppose them and to stir up the people against them.
26. Then they sent them forth and they stirred up the people, and the rulers against them, and they whipped them, and imprisoned many, and many they put to death.
27. Yet notwithstanding all the cruelties inflicted on them by Anti-Christ, they increased the more.
28. And when Anti-Christ saw that he prevailed nothing by this plan, he called together all those who had adopted the Federal System , and said unto them,
29. Ye see that our Federal Plan turns against us, let us now engage the doctrine which CHRIST's disciples preach to the world, for if we can destroy that, those who embrace it must come to nothing, and to this they all agreed.
