From his long successful practice in effecting cures in the most doubtful cases, he is now led to say, if he does not in any instance whatever cure, he will receive no pay.

For the GAZETTE.
MR. MELCHER,
The following Extracts from the letter of Mr. John Cofens Ogden, addressed to the public last winter, on the occasion of his quarrel with Doct. MACCLINTOCK and others, will shew the world, that Mr. O. is not that wild, incoherent, hot-headed, censorious, scandalizing and pestiferous foe to the peace and order of society and private families that his enemies represent him to be, but that his language and opinions breathe the pure sentiments of meekness, gentleness, brotherly love, and unbounded charity for every denomination of christians, who are so weak as to differ from him in religious matters. B. A.
OTHER denominations may not preach what they think proper—the instruction of youth is to be the business of a party; sacred property wrested and squandered; clergymen assaulted in the dark, not knowing their antagonist; their families unsafe and unprotected from the grossest injuries; the press opened against them; private letters and private conversation published by nameless scriblers; and, to complete all, denied the privilege of exculpating themselves in their own houses, or the retired circle of their friends.—This being effected, associations are to make out a list of persons qualified by their morality to be elected as rulers; this is handed from one ministers' meeting (or political club) and one teacher of a congregation to another, and each to his flock, and all becomes the property of lay-divines, whose art and zeal is unparalleled by the disciples of St. Ignatius.
All these things are now going on in New-Hampshire. The last act to fix the shackle upon your liberty and consciences is to alter the article of your civil constitution by which we are protected in our religion; make the property of our citizens responsible to support the minister of the town, however abhorrent he or his tenets may be to you, your proportion of the tax must be paid; you debarred the glorious privilege of maintaining the gospel in the way you may think most pure, or which is most acceptable to yourselves. Your enquiries after truth are to be thus checked by a bait laid before poverty or covetousness, or your teachers to become the directors of your consciences, and as firmly as the greatest father-confessors in Italy. To complete the business you must elect the creatures of the clergy to places in the legislature; select such as can stoop to court popularity under the mask of hypocrisy. The whole history of New-England presents this last as the aim of congregational teachers. They always swarm around state conventions, general assemblies, and town meetings, as bees around a hive they intend to rob of its honey. You are preached and prayed into their systems. Ministers' meetings, their marchings and counter-marchings, have been very frequent lately, on the subject of becoming presbyterians, and altering the article of our civil constitution. A subscription is now handing about, and the clergy's names collecting, for this last purpose, in order to present it to our legislature. Dr. Haven shewed it to me; I wish it may be published.—This is more necessary to be done early as it may be presented also to the people for ratification. The right to believe in and worship God, and support his gospel, is at last in danger of becoming a permanent establishment by the majority of voices, and we become congregationalists whether we will or no.
I wish presbyterians and congregationalists in America would give such a proof of their tolerating principles, as would afford their brethren in England any one argument from their example to gain a repeal of those laws which they so often revolt against.
Mr. Macclintock suggests that some join the church to save money. I am happy to find that the finances of the
church, after being plundered as she has been throughout the United States, after losing her former benefactors, are in such order as to support religion in a way less burdensome to the people than her enemies wish. To whom or what he refers I know not: if to the church in Portsmouth, I am happy to certify to the church in general, and my neighbours in particular, that this respectable and opulent parish has presented a noble example of generosity and zeal in repairing the damage done the church and supporting public worship. Heaven has given her patrons wealth, and, like good stewards, they have liberally contributed to the pious work of re-establishing and perpetuating a pure church in the midst of enemies. Their example affords a strong argument against the projected alteration of the article in our civil constitution.—The minister of the church in Portsmouth is supported by a voluntary subscription contribution. A small pew or poll tax upon nonsubscribers pays other annual charges.
The more you attend to the subject and the declarations and history of puritans, the fuller light will break in upon your minds and shew you the exact parallel between the sin and punishment of Korah and his accomplices, with these men; and be impressed with the charitableness of that deed to them and the world, which endeavours to persuade and draw them from the dreadful vengeance which awaits those who rebel against the institutions of heaven.
Korah was a priest or presbyter of the second order. He withdrew with certain mutinous Leavites from his obedience to the high-priest. The dispute was about church government, not about doctrine or worship. He was a presbyterian who arose against the episcopacy of Aaron. We hear of those under the gospel who perish in the gainsaying of Korah. The apostle foreknew by Christ that dissensions would arise in the christian church by various pretenders to the evangelical priesthood. Although the earth has not opened and swallowed them up, yet the most singular punishment have followed in their contentions against others, and among themselves, concerning the priesthood. Endless heresies and confusions have ensued about orthodoxy, discipline and worldly designs; others are sometimes distressed by the incursions of these men; and an officious Judas, or cowardly disciple, betrays or forsakes his valid ministry, in order to gratify spleen or gain popularity. From all such may God deliver his church.
The puritan congregations in England, once under the care of Doctor Watts, and other nonconformists, are nowarians, this is said to be the case in some degree in Boston. The greatest champions against episcopacy have disgraced their memories by leaving dangerous tenets to delude mankind.—Such was Dr. Chauncy, the greatest enemy the church in America ever knew. These things daily take place. Providence permits them in order to recal offenders, to remain with their lawful superiors."

LATE European Intelligence.
SHEFFIELD, October 23.
As soon as the news was confirmed of the retreat of the combined armies from the frontiers of France, and the success gained over the allied despots, it inspired the friends of liberty with the most pleasing sensations; cannons and guns were fired daily, at intervals, throughout the town, which kept in unison with the glad tidings, that daily arrived.
Monday, October 25, was appointed a general jubilee, a scene entirely new in this, or perhaps in any other town, to rejoice at the success of a people whom we have been taught to hate, but so it was. A subscription was entered into to have the bells of Trinity church rung, but a few aristocrats (principally of the clergy) forbade Peter unlocking the doors of the holy mansion, thinking, no doubt, that the sacred metal should not be polluted; in founding the voice of freedom, peace and good will towards men.
Notwithstanding, on the morning,
ere the sun had expelled the shades of night, the sons of liberty, like giants, rose, and shewed those, that whenever a nation or people are struggling to throw off oppression, or defend their liberties, they would rejoice when they rejoiced, and hail them as brothers.
The morning was ushered in by firing of cannon, &c. when every part of the town seemed emulous to outvie the other, in expressing their joy that the mighty thunderer, the bullying Brunswick, was reduced to the abject state of first suing for an accommodation, and then fleeing (without a blow being struck) before a brave people, whom he so lately threatened and despised. Bonfires were continually lighting up during the forenoon, and the firing of guns still increased: Upwards of a dozen sheep were roasted whole in the open air; a pole was erected near one of them, bearing the cap of liberty, under which was the following inscription:
"As the citizens of the world, we rejoice that twenty-five millions of our brethren have nobly dared to break the bonds of slavery, under which they have for centuries groaned! we also rejoice that they are so intrepidly driving the armed despots out of their Republic; we sincerely wish that their hostile brethren, the Austrians and Prussians, may learn from the French the blessings of liberty in their turn, drive the tyrants from their land; and that universal freedom may take place of that slavery under which Europe has so long groaned."
At another place was hoisted the American colour, with this motto underneath, "May Liberty flourish;" at another the Duke of Brunswick, in effigy, was placed near one of the fires, who, after being exposed to a severe cannonade, (for there they prevented his retreat) was hurled into the fire amidst the shouts of the surrounding populace. Various entertainments were provided in different parts of the town and neighbourhood: A select part of the Sheffield Constitutional Society repaired to the Lion and Lamb, where an entertainment was provided, and a flag waving from the window, inscribed in golden letters, "The Republic of France." After dinner, an address was read from the chair, expressive of the sentiments of the meeting, viz.—To shew their joy on the retreat of the Combined Armies, and the approach of Freedom in France, which will pave the way for Freedom to Europe.
Several patriotick songs were sung, and toasts drank—among which were the following:
The French Republic. The brave Generals and Armies of France.
May every Briton study and pursue the dictates of reason, and, like the French, learn, that to assert the Rights of Man is to support and maintain the cause of Truth and Equity.
May every nation enjoy the sweets of Liberty, without being exposed to the fury of tyrants.
May every King and Ruler study the happiness, and not the oppression, of the People.
The National Convention of France. May England and France become an united People; and may each nation enjoy the Rights of Man in its full extent.
Liberty to the oppressed people of Poland, and may their present condition never be ours.
When liberty is obtained may it never be abused.
A total overthrow to all despots, from the petty constable to the imperial Catharine.
May the great body of the English nation always retain a just sense of their rights and privileges.
The London, Manchester, Norwich, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Societies for Parliamentary Reform, and all the other similar societies in the nation.
The patriots of Ireland, and may their honest endeavors be speedily crowned with success.
Health to Thomas Paine, the dread of tyrants, and friend of mankind.
Joy seemed to dance on every coun-

tenance and the evening closed with the utmost cordiality and friendship. Not the least disturbance was seen through the day or evening. The firing of cannon, &c. ceased not until a late hour.
BOSTON, January 23.
DIRECT FROM FRANCE.
Extract of a letter from a Citizen, dated L'Orient, 19th October, 1793, to the Editor.
"The Spaniards are making every preparation for war, the French anxiously wishing a declaration of it. If the wind will permit we shall sail this day for Bourdeaux, from which place, should any thing of a public nature transpire, we will inform you by the earliest opportunity."
BRUSSELS, Nov. 9.
DISSOLUTION OF ARMIES.
All is confusion here. All the members of the Government are gone to Ruremande, in Guelderland. In short there is a general breaking up.—The army of Bourbon, which has fled from the environs of Namur, arrived last night, at the gates of this city, but entrance was refused them.
LONDON, October 30.
The army of the emigrants is entirely dissolved. The officers and men were dismissed by Marshal BROGLIO. Some of them are returning into France.
SHORT ACCOUNT OF THE PLACES TAKEN BY THE FRENCH.
MONS is the capital of the province of Hainault, in Austrian Netherlands. It stands on a hill, near the confluence of the rivers Haine and Trouille—and the country about it may be so overflowed as to render the approaches of an enemy very difficult and the fortifications are very fine.
GHENT is the capital of the province of Flanders, in Austrian Netherlands. It is situated on four navigable rivers—the Scheldt, the Lys, the Liepe, and the Mourwater. The city is divided into 26 islands, by means of these rivers, and canals; over which are 300 bridges. The fortifications are extensive, and require a large army to defend it.
NAMUR , the capital of the province of Namur is one of the strongest towns in the Austrian Netherlands. It is situated at the confluence of the rivers Sambre and Maese, 35 miles S. E. of Brussels.
BRUSSELS is the capital of the province of Brabant, and of all the Austrian Netherlands, situated on the river Senne. It was bombarded by Marshal Villeroy, in 1695, and 4000 houses blown up and demolished in 48 hours. It has been since elegantly rebuilt.
MENTZ , the capital of the electorate of Mentz, in Germany, is situated at a confluence of the rivers Rhine and Maine. It is a large populous city, and fortified, but not with great strength.
CASSEL , the capital of the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel. The Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel let 12,000 of his subjects to Great-Britain, assist in the subjugation of America; which are computed to have produced him a million sterling.
PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 30.
Last Thursday was consecrated to the commemoration of the REVOLUTION and late glorious successes of France.—The dawn was ushered in by the firing of cannon, and ringing of bells. At two o'clock a large concourse of citizens of this and the neighbouring towns, all decorated with the National Cockade, proceeded to the Assembly-Room, where they celebrated the feast of LIBERTY and EQUALITY. The room was ornamented with the busts and portraits of those distinguished patriots who composed the constituent National Assembly and are members of the present Convention, and some of those illustrious characters who once adorned that enlightened nation, among whom was the celebrated ROUSSEAU resting
on the Social Compact, from which valuable treatise written by that inspired genius, is extracted those principles of government which render nations free. After dinner the following toasts were given, attended by a discharge of the Artillery.
1. The Republic of France—May the tree of Liberty flourish on the plain of Equality and all nations partake of its fruit.
2. The National Convention—May its unbiased decisions secure the blessings of Liberty to our illustrious allies and their posterity forever.
3. The Citizen armies of France—May the sword of freemen be ever victorious in the cause of Liberty.
4. The memorable 10th of August; when Monarchy bowed before the majesty of the people.
5. May the rays of Liberty which first enlightened America illumine the world.
6. May all distinctions among men be abolished, but those which arise from talents and merit.
7. The memory of JOHN JAMES ROUSSEAU—May every government be founded on social compact and its object be the happiness of the people.
8. The virtuous female patriots of France—May their generous sacrifices on the Altar of Liberty be rewarded by its sweetest blessings.
9. THOMAS PAINE—May the RIGHTS OF MAN be universally known, and despots be awakened to reason by COMMON SENSE.
10. The intrepid PETION, who amidst the threats of despotism and storms of detraction dared to be free.
11. General DUMOURIER—May the Tyrants of the Earth be humbled before the Standard of equality.
12. The memory of the immortal MIRA-BEAU.
13. STANISLAUS the patriot of Poland—May that nation be speedily emancipated from the chains of despotism and the female tyrant of the North be made to bow at the shrine of liberty.
14. PASCAL PAOLI the veteran patriot of Corsica—May he long enjoy with his countrymen the liberty for which he so bravely contended.
15. The speedy emancipation of the universe, and may the detestable word SLAVE be blotted from the vocabulary of Man.
A number of songs, several of which were composed on the occasion, were sung in the interim accompanied with instrumental music. To heighten the scene, in the midst of the music, entered the room in exactest order, a beautiful procession of BOYS—wearing caps inscribed with the words "LIBERTY and EQUALITY." In the evening the house was illuminated and a variety of fire-works displayed. Joy and harmony universally prevailed and the bosom of every citizen glowed with the idea of establishing LIBERTY upon an everlasting foundation and consecrating their rights to eternity.
On the above occasion the citizens were assembled in large numbers in various parts of the town—a numerous band of the friends of EQUALITY convened at LIBERTY BRIDGE (the long favored spot that so often has witnessed the joy of our patriots on similar occasions) to congratulate each other on the birth of nations, and to partake of the Civic Entertainment prepared for celebrating those auspicious events, at the dwelling house of Citizen MELCHER—their hats were adorned with the three coloured cockade. Joy inspired every heart and generous libations were poured forth in honor of our Gallic brethren—during the festival the following among other toasts were drank with universal acclamations:
1. The Genius of Liberty—May its refulgent beams pervade the inmost recesses of despotism, and illumine the world.
2. The Republic of France—May the glorious Fabric forever rest on the basis of EQUALITY and JUSTICE.
3. The National Convention—May the lessons of the School of LIBERTY teach all Nations to be free.
4. The Patriot Armies of France—May their swords be never sheathed but in the bosoms of Tyrants, while a despot exists in the world.
5. PETION—The Brutus of France.
6. May the tree of LIBERTY planted on the Ruins of the Bastille, spread over the Earth, and all Nations rest under its shade.
7. May the Sun of Truth dispel the mists of suspicion from the name of FAYETTE—and both Hemispheres join in resounding his praise.
8. May Industry, humanity and integrity be the only road to distinction among Men.
MR. TOSCAN the Vice Consul of FRANCE—on the day of celebrating their glorious successes sent the following letter.
To the OVERSEERS of the Poor of the town of Portsmouth.
Gentlemen, IT was my intention to have illuminated my house on the present occasion, but on reflection I imagined it would be more gratifying to the feelings of my fellow citizens as well as my own, to have the poor of the work-house as well as the prisoners partake of the general joy, I have therefore inclosed a bank note which I beg you to distribute among them as your judgment shall direct.
I am Gentlemen with respect, Your most obedient Servant, JOHN TOSCAN.
To which they returned the following answer.
Thursday,
SIR YOUR generous donation to the poor of this town is very kindly received by the OVERSEERS, who present you their warmest thanks. A grateful heart is the only return those children of want can make, who will this day partake of your beneficence, I am SIR in behalf of the OVERSEERS, Your humble Servant, NATHANIEL ADAMS. Citizen TOSCAN.
