EXTRACT from an EPISTOLARY CORRESPONDENCE, on the REPU-BLICAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT. Continued.
AFTER making some remarks on the divisions that have been fostered, and the uneasiness that had been excited.—The discontent and jealousies, (added Sulpicius) occasioned by the public debt, have been very highly prejudicial to the tranquility of the nation, and of consequence to the Federal Union. There has not been that congeniality of sentiment which formerly subsisted: To restore and increase it, has been the successful endeavor of the present administration.—Yes: In this all-important respect it hath been happily successful—by the repeal of unnecessary and burdensome taxes, retrenching useless expenses and extravagancies, annihilating the ridiculous mimicry of foreign courts, and other salutary reforms. The nation now discerns wherein it hath been deluded. Vast numbers who were prejudiced against the President and his friends, and their public measures, are now convinced of the propriety of those measures. They see what pernicious designs were intended to be accomplished by alien and sedition laws, by a navy and standing army, and a power in the judiciary independent and uncontrolled. They are now awakened to a just view of the rapid progress of the late administration in self-aggrandizement and arbitrary power. How cautious ought we to be of being deceived by men professing to regard only the public interests, whose schemes and principles are, at the same time, undermining the common weal!
We have seen men, (replied Eudemus) professing zeal for liberty, who, being tyrants in the domestic circles, and strangers to the amiable virtues which adorn and beautify private life; we could not readily confide in their professions of attachment to the generous and virtuous principles of Republicanism: Zealous and declaratory against fraud and oppression; but in their commerce with their fellow citizens in private affairs, none more fraudulent and oppressive, or more destitute of benevolence, or more governed by sordid avarice. By such, the cause of Freedom is grievously wounded. If citizens, swayed by the cowardly fears which selfishness inspires, shrink from each other, and thus cloud the cheering and exhilarating sunshine of friendship and liberality; they not only debase themselves, and prove more or less injurious to the public; but they injure their own families. From the contagion of their example, their children may in future become sufferers, if not themselves, in a reverse of fortune.
If such persons, (added DORION) might be allured by worthy examples, and rational reflection, to exchange a remper do disgraceful to human nature, for the spirit of beneficence which Republican principles inspire, it would be a happy circumstance—otherwise, by the certain course of things in the operation of nature's unchangeable laws; they must, sooner or later, suffer the shame and misery eventually and infallibly attached to a niggardly disposition. The consequence is as sure as the course of nature is irreversible, and the laws of retribution changeless and eternal. And, if this was seriously and deliberately contemplated by men of so detectable and injurious a temper; together with all the terrific variety of its fatal consequences to mankind; and that 'tis impossible they should escape the vengeance which nature will take on those who shamelessly and inapprehensively persevere in opposition to its beneficent designs; they could not fail of considering themselves as unworthy of the light of day, the gift and the blessings of life, or of esteem or favor from man;—they must further be led to an effecting view of the safety, honor and felicity attending a life of benevolence and usefulness; and in the issue, become converts to genuine virtue, patriotism and philanthropy.
AVARUS, who had acquired a splendid fortune, was zealous in professions and appearance, for virtue and the public weal. But avarice was his ruling passion; and none would be so ready as he to forward his own private views. His talents and external accomplishments, perverted as they were to the meanest purposes; had however, procured him the regard of many of
his fellow citizens; by means of which, his examples became contagious in society, and he formed a party opposed to its interests; which so far prevailed as to render unpassionate the generous sentiments of humanity; though outwardly professed, the more effectually to deceive and impose. A reverse of fortune brought him exceeding low; till, at length, he beheld his children helpless, and oppressed by the very persons his own example and influence had estranged from the principles of virtue and benevolence. He beheld it with an aching art; but so inexorable was retributive justice, that he could obtain, neither for himself or his offspring, a compassionate sigh, or the least instance of friendly relief. His miseries were extreme, and he departed life with this confession on his trembling lips—Nature and Heaven are just in their retributions; and Supreme and righteous is the divine power, that renders the unpitying unpityed , and from the acutest sufferings awakens me to repentance, and bitterest agonizing remorse.
It must be owned, (returned Eudemus,) the recompense on Avarus was just, and may it seasonably and effectually alarm the sons of avarice, and of false ambition, who impose on society with pretences to patriotism and virtue, benevolence and public spirit; and may the shining example of our Chief Magistrate, and his illustrious friends, kindle the sacred flame of philanthropy, and of genuine patriotism, in every American breast!
If it can be no matter of wonder (replied THERON,) that a people are weary of, and dismiss public officers who are influenced by a selfish temper, and who evidently discover that, notwithstanding their fair professions, they love money or power more than virtue; their country or mankind; and that they would sacrifice them all to gratify their sordid, unmanly passions; then the people should be sedulous and unremitting in the study of each others welfare; in cultivating, by every laudable and generous means, a good understanding among themselves. Republican principles lead us to exert ourselves to the utmost in the promotion of real virtue, and a true liberality of soul, and in rendering every class of society and every individual virtuous, industrious and happy. We thus raise the strongest, nay, the only sure barrier against the encroachments of foreign or internal foes. If we neglect each other—if we possess not the magnanimity to deny ourselves for each other, in the advancement of our mutual private as well as public interests, we may in vain expect to prosper. Nature and the Lord of Nature are against us, and we are in reality against ourselves. Our natural, as well as our civil rights are divine, and we are the offspring, the image of the Deity. We ought not, therefore to despise, neglect or disrespect the lowest . There should be a generous attention to every individual, that the good of the whole may prosper. The less we regard each other, the more we fight against ourselves, and our public interests, the less we are, all of every class of the community, united by virtue and a generous attention to each other; the more we lay open to the attacks of the enemies of liberty; and the firmer footing will those ever-active enemies gain upon us. They are craftless in their exertions; and our own infirmities are ever ready to aid them. We need then to watch over ourselves; to watch over one another with a persevering and a tender solicitude; as well as to be on our guard against either foreign enemies, or the intriguing and restless partisans of our country. A generous and persevering attention to every individual, is the grandest display of human genius, greatness and worth. Let us be ever open to advice and warning—it will eminently evidence our wisdom, and a true greatness of mind.
Suspicious having craved leave to read some observations from a letter in his hands, proceeded as follows:—
Those who, for their own vile purposes, slander and calumniate the real friends of our country, are the enemies of all mankind, yes, of all the beneficent beings in the universe. For the benevolent and good form, but one grand society, divinely united, whether residing in this or the invisible world. The calumniators of the friends and supporters of our Democratical Republic, first formed by, and now under the guidance of the wisest and best of men, are inimical not only to our country, but to society in general; and confederates with its enemies of every nation, of every region where intellectual beings reside, and where any degrees of depravity are still permitted to exist. Such partisans have long exerted themselves, to the utmost in these States; overleaping the bounds of decency, and setting aside both reason and common sense, as though agitated with the fury of maniacs . They have likewise employed all their sophistical skill to inspire false conceptions of the principles of our Government; attributing to democracy eccentricities and extravagancies as if necessarily derived from its nature and principles: whereas the evils which have arisen in democratic governments, proceeded from circumstances entirely foreign to its natural and general tendencies; all of which are, in every respect, perfectly consonant to the nature and condition of mankind. As self love is the great influential principle of our nature, it is ever hostile to the licentiousness attributed, by its aspersers, to democratical government; and will always influence us in its support, and in the prevention of those evils which arise in any species of government, when the principle of self love is not allowed its free and genuine operation. Our national constitution and government though pretended Federalists always depicted. They were high in their good pretensions, while they had every thing to their own humor, and were rendering the constitution an engine to introduce the reign of monarchy and aristocracy, to the destruction of Republicanism and the liberties of the people. The ideas of equal rights of all , and equal interests of all in the government, were opposed to their monopolizing views, and were, if possible, to be gradually annihilated from the minds of men. The progress of their aristocratical schemes was gradually lessening the consequence of the individual States, that all power might be concentrated in the general government and the Chief Magistrate. But the constitution being the index by which we are guided, it has, and will continue to prove an impregnable barrier against the encroachments of every species of corruption and tyranny.
With the most eminent and useful citizens, by whom our revolution was effected, (said THERON,) and by whom the important results of it are conducted, the partisans of arbitrary power are at perpetual war. Though baffled in all their projects, they still persist in their hostile exertions equally unrelenting and unreformable by the mildness and benevolence, or the wisdom and happy efficiency of the present administration. They are not to be reconciled to the principles on which the American revolution and government are founded. As many, who were long imposed upon by their artifices, are awakened to just views, their vexation on this account they are incapable of concealing; while they are incessantly propagating scandal and falsehoods, and using every means to disturb the tranquility and happiness of our country. But the absurdity and madness of their conduct serve to little other purpose than to render them of still less consequence, and more contemptible. Their fugitive falsehoods are no sooner abroad than they perish, and the time advances, in which America shall become forever rid of those enemies of her peace. Her Union will be more firmly established by the storms and tempest that have assailed it.
If men render themselves odious and contemptible, by a mean and hypocritical conduct, in a country and government united and established on the principles of liberty, virtue and humanity; they must expect no other than the contempt and abhorrence of a virtuous and generous people; who, at the same time that they despise them on account of their unmanly tempers and dispositions, and hold them in abhorrence for their obstinate perseverance in a conduct unjustifiable, mischievous and ungenerous; cannot but pity them as creating the greatest evils to themselves. Terrible indeed would be the condition of America, could such men have their wishes; could they effect the counter revolution at which they aim, and erect the throne of tyranny on the ruins of freedom!
The indecent abuses of the present administration of our government to frequently published, (in which Porcupine himself is out done,) would degrade our national character with the surrounding nations, were it not well known from what sources they originate. They are reprobated and detested by all the wise and reflecting citizens who are of different political sentiments from the majority of the nation; and the effects of them are far from being such as were intended. Citizens have the discernment to perceive, that such a flood of indecent fecundities can proceed from no good cause; and that a system, supported by falsehoods and calumnies, is not the system they would advocate, but of wanton tyranny and insult.
With an exalted pleasure we now realize, that the most generous measures are sedulously employed, (prompted by the truly patriotic and philanthropic system which this enlightened and happy country has adopted,) to conciliate the minds of such as are dissatisfied to its government, and prejudiced against the officers it hath selected; that the illuminating rays of reason are fast dispelling the magical mills which had darkened the understandings of many of our worthy fellow citizens;—that the dangerous plots of the decided enemies of liberty, on both sides the Atlantic, are unavailed; and the dire consequences, that must have been the result of their successful progress, are presented to the view of the public; awakening all ranks of men to serious and wise reflection, and rousing all their energies to the most vigorous exertions in guarding their sacred rights, and effectually to secure them against the desperate and enterprising confederacies of foreign and domestic foes.
By the last Mails.
SAVANNAH, May 21. Yesterday was executed, on the south common, agreeable to the sentence of the last Superior Court, held in this city, John Rice, for grand larceny. He was a native, we are informed, of North-Carolina or Virginia; had been an old offender against the laws of his God, and of his country; and for a long time had practised in this city, a series of villany, seldom equalled—entering at night, by the aid of false keys, houses and stores and deliberately and leisurely plundering the citizens of their property, to an unknown amount. He has left a wife and children, in this city, to lament his ignominious fate.
PHILADELPHIA, June 4. The notorious Bowles, who has considerable influence over the southern Indians, has involved the Choctaws and Creeks in a war with the Spaniards of East-Florida. A Charleston paper, after enumerating many of his late predatory acts, concludes as follows:—
"The result of this business will finally be, that the Creek nation (deluded by Bowles) who had received all aid and assistance from the Spanish government, and by whom they never were interrupted, will now, in all probability, be much distressed, and drove back by which they will lose that peaceable and beneficial trade they had with their friendly and good natured neighbors."
NEW-YORK, June 5. Extract of a letter from Martinique, dated April 27, 1802.
"Respecting the mutiny at Dominique, I send you the following addition to the account you received by Capt. Stoddard, of the 8th instant.
"The inexpressible fury of the black murderers, was more particularly exerted against Capt. Cameron and Lieut. M'Kay and Wefsenays, all of whom they killed; but the last was tied to a post, and by their bayonets slowly and most savagely tortured to death—they suffered his life to be spun out to the last moment of existence.—He was afterwards stripped, his person horribly mutilated and given to the winds. Captain M'Gee and Lieutenant Rivington were wounded."
"Several of the most furious villains after trial & condemnation, have been brought hither and shot, before the black troops, of this Garrison (Fifty more are) on board a vessel for trial, and will meet the same fate: When sentence shall be passed on those surviving men, the troops will proceed to Barbadoes. It is with vast regret I have listed those shocking accounts; for the 8th West-
India regiment has proved peculiarly on service, the steadiest and most respectable corps of our whole line, consisting of twelve regiments.
"This bloody mutiny broke out at 11 o'clock in the night of the 9th of April, when most of the officers were in bed; the men then under arms, 450 in number, swore to murder every one of their officers: the survivors of whom have been plundered and deprived of all their clothing. A Court of enquiry is sitting, by order of General Trigue, our commander in chief, to investigate the real motives that led to this horrible defection."
A letter from Philadelphia mentions, that the Episcopalian congregations in that city have testified their regard for the memory of the deceased Mrs. Washington, by having the interior of their churches shrouded in black, and the bells muffled for three days.
JUNE 3.
Capt. Johnson informs, that tranquility had been completely restored at Cape Francois—that he saw Toussaint, Christophe and other black generals at the Cape, who had adjusted all their differences with General Le Clerc.
SALEM, JUNE 4.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, dated Zaneville, (N.W. Territory) 29th May.
"The settlement and improvement of this country is rapidly increasing, and at no distant day the carriage of our produce from the mouth of the Mississippi will be a great business. You doubtless have heard of the commencement of the ship building business at Marietta, a ship and a brig are now to descend the river; if they should meet with success, the business may be considered as established, unless the possession of Louisiana by the French should interfere with the freedom of the navigation of the Mississippi. It will behoove our Government to have a watchful eye to that object, which is of incalculable consequence to this country and to the Union, if integrity of the nation may be considered as of the least importance; for this country must follow the fate of the only outlet to the ocean!"

SPEECH.
Mr. President, & Gentlemen of the Senate, Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, DEPUTED by our fellow-citizens, and assembled at this time affixed by the Constitution, for the purpose of transacting such business as the public good may require, it must be a pleasing circumstance to contemplate the general prosperity which is so apparent throughout the State.
Although our own internal affairs is the principal object for which we are assembled; yet being intimately connected with other States by our Federal Union, and having interests which may in some measure be affected by the conduct of other nations, it may perhaps be useful to consider their circumstances in some respect.
Under these impressions, permit me to congratulate you on the late general Peace in Europe. Whatever partial effects it may have on the interests of some of our citizens, yet it must be highly pleasing to the benevolent mind, that a stop is put, at least for the present, to the calamities of war which have so long raged amongst several of the European powers.—And as it respects our own country, have we not reason to rejoice, that our neutrality has been so far maintained, as to prevent our becoming a party in the contest, notwithstanding the threatening appearances at sundry times?
In another view, it may be useful to contemplate the late war in the European world.—What are the real advantages gained thereby? Perhaps some one of the nations may be aggrandized, others depressed—but may we not ask, whether it is probable that the cause of genuine liberty will be advanced, and the happiness of mankind promoted, by these extraordinary changes?—Whatever effects the arts and intrigues of any of the powers lately at war, may have had in our country, or from whatever other causes it has arisen, it is a lamentable fact, that we have been much divided in opinion respecting the political affairs of our common country. If we could improve the present time, when a general pacification has taken place among European nations, in such a manner as should tend to restore union, and harmony of sentiment and conduct respecting our own affairs, it would be making a happy use of it.
The continuation of our present free systems of Government, must greatly depend upon the opinions, habits, morals and religion of the great body of the people; how important is it, then, that they should have correct information respecting the conduct of men whom they invest with authority, and respecting the measures of their Government?—Whoever attempts to misrepresent or deceive in these respects, whether through the now much abused "liberty of the press" or otherwise, should be considered as an enemy to the liberties of the country.—Whatever difference in opinions may be entertained respecting other means necessary for preserving our political rights and privileges, this should not prevent our united endeavours, as Legislators and Magistrates, to do whatever may be in our power, both by precept and example, for the suppression of licentiousness and immorality, and for the promotion of useful knowledge, virtue and religion.
As all systems of Political Government have defects, it is wise to exam-

ine those to which our's are most exposed—If instability, respecting the measures to be pursued, is an evil to which we are much exposed, we ought to be extremely cautious in this respect. Our National Government is at present extended over a large territory, and our population is rapidly increasing; can it then be wise, is it safe that the energies of Government should be lessened?
As similar causes produce similar effects, may it not be useful for the citizens of our country seriously to consider the causes which have ruined those Republics which have gone before us? And is not this more especially the duty of those who are invested with authority, that they may be particularly guarded against those evils?
A strong attachment to our present free systems of State and National Governments, and to the welfare of my fellow-citizens, has induced me often to make known my political sentiments; and recent transactions of our National Government, have had a strong tendency to confirm me in opinions which I have heretofore expressed.
A letter from his Excellency the Governor of North-Carolina, with certain resolutions of their Legislature, proposing alterations in the Constitution of the United States, as it respects the manner of choosing Electors of President and Vice-President, and Representatives to Congress, will be laid before you, and will undoubtedly have all that consideration which the importance of the subject requires.
Permit me to recommend to your attention the Inspection Laws of the State, and particularly as they respect the articles of Beef and Pork for exportation. It appears to me highly probable, that the interest both of the farmer and exporters may be promoted by amending the present Laws on this subject.
By an act regulating weights and measures, passed Dec. 12th, 1797, the operation of which was postponed from time to time, but became of force in December last, a sealer was to be appointed in each county, and to procure standards at the expense of the State; but there has not been any money appropriated for the purpose.
Whatever Laws and regulations you may think proper to pass, will, so far as may depend on me, be duly attended to.
It will be a pleasing duty to me, to unite with you, in measures calculated for the preservation of the peace, liberty and safety of our fellow-citizens, and for promoting their lasting happiness.
John Taylor Gilman. State of New-Hampshire, } June 5, 1802.
ANSWER of the HOUSE. [The committee, consisting of Messrs. Blaf-dell, Hunt, and Hutchinson, appointed to draft an answer to the Governor's speech, reported the following:]
WE, the Representatives of New-Hampshire, impressed with a due sense of the importance of the Office to which you are again called, beg leave to congratulate you on the event, so grateful to our feelings; and permit us to add, that we consider it as the surest proof of the general information, good sense, and patriotism of the Citizens of the State.
The prosperity of our Citizens, affords a flattering prospect of the advantages resulting from a free Government faithfully administered.
Our internal affairs unquestionably demand our first attention; and we are happy in believing, that few, if any, alterations of the existing Laws, will be judged necessary.
We have sincerely lamented the distressed situation of the fairest part of the European world; it is therefore with peculiar satisfaction we are informed of a universal peace.
In taking a retrospective view of the late important transactions of other People and Governments, with the consequences resulting therefrom, we entertain a grateful sense of the wisdom of those elected to fill the highest offices of the State and United Governments, in avoiding those evils which at some periods appeared inevitable.—We have witnessed the restless disposition of men—the zeal and intemperance with which they have laboured to effect changes—that, in accomplishing their several favorite schemes, crimes, the most revolting to human nature, have been sanctioned by those who, uninfluenced by party spirit, have been the friends and lovers of good order and justice. Recent events, will prove the danger of innovation upon established systems; and that it is not unfrequent to find, after the effusions of phrensy are passed, a whole people fighting to regain the station which they had inconsiderately abandoned.
As the difference of sentiment, which has lately prevailed in our Country, arose from the hostile state of nations now at peace; we fondly hope, that we, who had the prudence to prevent our rashly involving ourselves in their disputes, may now suffer the effects to die with the cause.
Believing, as we do, that useful knowledge, virtue, and religion, form the basis of our Government, we feel it peculiarly incumbent on us to cherish every means that can promote these important objects.
Though we consider the natural increase of our population as the most favourable of events, we feel a pleasure in considering, that the thirst of power has never induced the United States to aim at territorial conquest.
We shall esteem it our duty carefully to attend to those particular objects pointed out in your communications; and shall carefully unite with your Excellency, in adopting
those measures calculated to promote the welfare of our Fellow-Citizens.
[On a motion to accept the above, the House divided—the Yeas and Nays were called, and were—Yeas 83—Nays 62.]

On the question of erecting a marble statue to honour him who is above such praise, at an expense of twenty thousand dollars, in this Federal State, (Massachusetts) there was a majority of two only in the present house of representatives.
Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1802.
The arrivals from Europe, since our last, have not furnished any later articles of intelligence, than before received. The return of peace is accompanied by a flag of news. The wars of Puffawon Ogloo, in the interior of Turkey; and of Pachas, in Upper Egypt, excite but little interest in Europe; and less in the United States. The threatened eclipse of the Ottoman Moon appears distant; and the internal state of all the European nations, is tranquil.
Arrived at Boston, the brig Active, Capt. York, in 30 days from Liverpool, bringing London papers to the 6th ult. They are principally filled with debates in the British Parliament, on motions for papers, &c. respecting the Definitive Treaty of Peace.
Under the Paris head, of May 3d. we find it mentioned, that Gantheume's Squadron, which had arrived in France from St. Domingo, was immediately to return with 10,000 troops, and most ample supplies of provisions.
The New-Hampshire Union Bank in all probability, will be incorporated at this session of our General Court.
Extract of a letter from Concord.
House of Representatives. CONCORD, JUNE 11.
"TO the astonishment of all considerate people, an application has been made for an increase of the salaries of the Judges of the superior Court—at the moment when from the great reduction in the prices of all the necessaries of life—it was expected, these salaries would be lessened, an attempt is made to saddle the people with new burthens—by increasing the Judges compensation,—but few who regard the opinions of their constituents, or the feelings of the public are found in favor of this extraordinary attempt; their salaries were raised to their present amount, in consideration of the increased expense of living, but as that expense has diminished it is a general opinion that their salaries ought to be diminished with it. The venerable Judges Livermore, Bartlett and Olcott served many years, on a salary of 334 dollars; and it is not expected to find their superiors in any successors. It is a general observation, that the higher salaries are (more than a sufficiency) the worse is the public served,—when the farmer obtained a dollar for a bushel of Corn the Judges were contented with 800 dollars per year, now corn is reduced to half a dollar per bushel,—an attempt is made to give the Judges more salary, but this like many aristocratic schemes, will receive the marked disapprobation of the Representatives of the PEOPLE."
Extract of another letter from Concord.
"On counting the votes for Governor, it appeared that the whole number was 19166, of which 9584 constituted a majority—Gilman had 10377, and of course was elected by a majority of 793 only, (having but that number more than was necessary to elect him,) and not by a majority of 1624, as has been erroneously stated—for had 1624 been deducted from Gilman's votes, it would have reduced them to 8753, which would have been 831 short of a majority,—by this you will perceive what a falling off there has been from the Gilman interest in the course of one short year, he having had last year a majority of more than 4000. In the three large counties of Rockingham, Hillsborough and Strafford, which lie in the neighborhood of Gov. Gilman, Langdon had a majority of 1021 votes, but this was outweighed by the majorities in the distant counties of Cheshire and Grafton. Mr. Levi Bartlett one of the persecuted four members, who a few years ago voted against the address to President Adams, has been elected by the people a Councillor for Rockingham county, by a great majority.—The House is clearly republican, the choice of Speaker was no test—Prentice had filled the office for many years, and was distinguished for his impartiality, many republicans therefore voted for him,—as the bearer is waiting I must refer you to him for further particulars."
COMMUNICATION.
To the HEALTH OFFICERS of Portsmouth.
HOW long shall the fairy tale of imported Yellow Fever, Plague, &c. delude you? have we not ninety-nine instances of its origin amongst us, from filth and nastiness, to one of importation? Shall our vessels be subject to quarantine, washing and cleaning, while the whole town is a hot-bed of filth, nastiness and contagion? Overflowing vaults, sewers, drains, with garbage and filth in the streets, lanes, yards, cellars, &c. &c. emit such noxious smells as to poison the whole atmosphere. If this be the effect of a few hot days, what will July and August produce? Answer this question gentlemen, and let the consequence fall on your own heads, if you do not, while the weather is yet cool, thoroughly cleanse the town of all these sources of plague, pestilence and death.
It is your duty, not only to attend when complaints are made, but to search after sources of contagion. To hunt the goblin from his deepest vault. Not a copy of the Health Act is to be found; why are the citizens kept thus ignorant of your power to cleanse the town and prevent importation of diseases? Your neglect is criminal in the highest degree.
COMMUNICATION.
THEATRICAL.
We hear that Messrs. Baker & Hughes, aided by some gentlemen and a young lady of this town, have in rehearsal for next week, that justly admired play of GEORGE BARNWELL, who, like a buoy holds out the signal of the rock on which his fame, his peace and life was founded.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
Messrs. PRINCE's, YOUR paper can never be more useful than by admitting pieces or even quotations that will suppress the industrious in the cause of slander in Portsmouth—and aiding the Ministers of GOD in a duty so imperatively incumbent on him from the Pulpit, and he deserves the thanks of every parishioner who hears him. I am one who thinks that an elegant extract from the eleventh Sermon of the incomparable Sterne, is justly and exactly calculated for the meridian of Portsmouth—and hope you will give it a place in your valuable paper. You will find that the sentiments of scrap in your last paper are taken from that sermon—"for the cause of literature only—I am concerned to see the beauty of the original blotted and impaired by the sanguinary mixture of scrap."
HOW frequently is the honesty and integrity of man disposed of, by a smile or a shrug!—how many good and generous actions have been sunk into oblivion, by a distrustful look or slant with the imputation of proceeding from bad motives, by a mysterious and seasonable whisper.
Look into companies of those whose gentle natures should disarm them, we shall find no better account—How large a portion of chastity is sent out of the world by distant hints—nodded away and cruelly winked into suspicion, by the envy of those who are pallid temptations of it themselves? How often does the reputation of a helpless creature bleed by a report—which the party, who is at the pains to propagate it, beholds with much pity and fellow-feeling,—that she is heartily sorry for it,—hopes in God it is not true: however, as Archbishop Tillotson wittily observes upon it, is resolved in the mean time, to give the report her pass, that at least, it may have fair play to take its fortune in the world,—to be believed or not according to the charity of those into whose hands it shall happen to fall?
So fruitful is this vice in variety of expedients, to fatten as well as disguise itself. But if these former weapons fail to force,—what shall we lay of open and unblushing scandal subjected to no caution, tied down to no restraints?—If the one, like an arrow shot in the dark, does nevertheless so much secret mischief,—this, like the pestilence, which rageth at noon-day, sweeps all before it, levelling without distinction the good and the bad; a thousand fall beside it, and ten thousand on his right hand;—they fall—to rent and torn in this tender part of them, so unmercifully butchered, as sometimes never to recover either of the wounds,—or the anguish of heart which they have occasioned.
The passions of men are pretty severe executioners, and to them let us leave this ungrateful task;—and rather ourselves endeavour to cultivate that more friendly one, recommended by the apostle, of letting all bitterness, and wrath, and clamour, and evil speaking be put away from us; and of being kind to one another—tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgave us."
We hear from Epping, that last week, Miss CLARK, daughter of Mr. Josiah Clark, of that town, aged 16, was found dead in an out-house, (used principally for spinning and weaving.) This amiable young woman was on the point of being married, the young man was to see her the night before, which is a circumstance that added greater poignancy to the affliction. Her mother was the first that discovered her, and supposing her to be asleep, went in to awake her;—But think of the tender mother's surprise, when she found her beloved child a corpse! We will only add, that we hope the balm of consolation, will be poured into the deeply affected breasts of these bereaved parents, and their many connections.
Marine Intelligence.
The Schooner Rover, Capt. Reed, from New-York, belonging to Mr. John Sukely, merchant there, consigned to Mr. Francis Corneille, of St. Marks, loaded and ready to sail, was burned by the negroes, himself and all the crew murdered about the 15th of February.

Miscellaneous Repository.  PRAISE OF WOMEN.  THRO' many a land & clime a ranger, With toilsome steps I've held my way; A lonely unprotected stranger, To all the stranger's ills a prey.  While steering thus my course precarious, My fortune still has been to find Men's hearts and disposition various, But gentle Woman ever kind.  Alive to every tender feeling, To deeds of mercy ever prone; The wounds of pain and sorrow healing, With soft compassion's sweetest tone.  No proud delay, no dark suspicion, Stints the free bounty of their heart; They turn not from the sad petition, But cheerful aid at once impart.  Form'd in benevolence of nature, Obliging, modest, gay and mild; Woman's the same endearing creature, In courtly town, and savage wild.  When parch'd with thirst, with hunger waft- ed, Her friendly hand refreshment gave; How sweet the coarsest food has tasted, What cordial in the simple wave!  Her courteous looks, her words caressing, Shed comfort on the fainting foul. Woman's the stranger's general blessing From sultry India to the pole.
Moralist.
On the Immortality of the Soul.  THERE is not a more pleasing and triumphant consideration in Religion, than this of the perpetual progress which the soul makes towards the perfection of its nature without ever arriving at a period in it.  To look upon the soul as going on from strength to strength; to consider that she is to shine forever with new accessions of glory, and to brighten to all eternity; that she will be still adding virtue to virtue, and knowledge to knowledge—carries in it something extremely agreeable to that ambition which is natural to the mind of man. Nay, it must be a most pleasing to God himself, to see his creation forever beautifying in his eyes, and drawing nearer to him by greater degrees of resemblance.
Will not this single consideration, of the progress of a finite spirit to perfection, be sufficient to extinguish all envy in inferior, and all contempt in superior? That creature which now appears as a God to the human soul, knows that the period will come about in eternity, when the human soul shall be as perfect as himself now is: nay, when she shall look down upon that degree of perfection, as much as she now falls short of it.  It is true the higher nature still advances, and preserves his distance and superiority in the scale of being; but he knows, that how high soever the station is of which he stands possessed at present, the inferior nature will at length mount up to it, and shineth forth in the same degree of glory.
With what astonishment and veneration may we look into our souls, where there are such hidden stores of virtue and knowledge, such inexhausted sources of perfection! We know not yet what we shall be, nor will it ever enter into the heart of man to conceive the glory that will always be in reserve for him.  The soul, considered in relation to its Creator, is like one of those mathematical lines that may draw nearer continually, without a possibility of reaching each other; and can there be a thought so transporting, as to consider ourselves in these perpetual approaches to Him, who is not only the standard of perfection, but of happiness?
HOSPITALITY.
HOSPITALITY is one of the first christian duties. The best retires to his shelter, and the bird flies to its nest; but helpless man can only find refuge from his fellow creatures. The greatest stranger in this world was he who came to save it. He never had a house, as if willing to see what hospitality was left remaining among mankind.
The Lucanians have a law among them, that no citizen may refuse the entertainment of a stranger, especially if in necessity, who comes to him after the sun is set; and whoever offends against this law of hospitality, is fined and stigmatized as a miser; his house is demolished, as though he were unworthy to possess one, who was unwilling to afford the use of it to him who was in want of shelter.
Medley.
AMONG the strange, and generally ridiculous, anecdotes of Americans, to common in foreign prints, we have not seen any one more singular than the following, from a Glasgow paper of the 26th January 1802. The following anecdote is told by a gentleman who came passenger in the Recovery, from New-York:—Walking the decks of New-York, at the time the fever was raging there, he met a dray loaded with coffins, the drayman staggering behind, half drunk, singing, "Hail Columbia happy land!"
Two very honest gentlemen, who dealt in brooms, meeting one day in the street, one asked the other, how the devil he could afford to undersell him every where as he did, when he sold the stuff, and made the brooms himself? Why, you silly dog, answered the other, I steal them ready made.
A Lady was saying she had overthrown her adversary; at which one of her servants said, Ay, she took a wrong sow by the ear, when he meddled with your ladyship.
One seeing a great heap of stones, said to his friend, I wish I had some of these stones at home. Why, what would you do with them? said the other. Why, said he, I would build a brick wall round my yard with them.
