Hill & Little, we the subscribers do solemnly declare that the fire did not originate from the insecurity of said Chimneys, they being built in the best manner possible, and that prior to the Hearth's being laid we mixed at least two bushels of Salt with mortar, on which were laid Bricks four course thick, therefore the Salt, mortar, and Bricks, must have been at least one foot thick.

Political Miscellany.
From the AMERICAN CITIZEN. Do ye not after their works; for they say, and do not. Matt. xxii. 3. The picture which the sacred writers have drawn of the Pharisees shews, that while they made great pretensions to sanctify religion, and outwardly appeared righteous unto men, within they were full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Instead of being humble and benevolent they were proud and oppressive. Proud of their lineage, learning and dress, they sought the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and court greeting in the markets, and high founding titles. To support their folly and extravagance they devoured widows' houses, and oppressed men with grievous burdens. Indeed, the character of the Pharisees, as portrayed by the sacred writers is such, that we might suppose men equally base could not be found, at least in this enlightened age and country: but alas! we have in America men, and many of them too, who are as proud, hypocritical, and unjust, as were the Pharisees, and as clamorous concerning religion.
The federalists, like the Pharisees, endeavour to make the world believe that they are the only friends to religion; but they are its greatest enemies. Christianity inculcates peace and good will towards men; but federalists are continually endeavoring to stir up the evil passions of men, and to excite in them the most bitter enmity against the people of other countries, and to propel them to war and the shedding of human blood. To effect this purpose they mutilate and misrepresent facts, and anticipate events, and hypocritically bewail events that are not likely to happen. But what is war to effect? Federalists tell us that war will produce national glory; but the glory to be acquired by war depends upon the number of men to be killed or oppressed, and the number of cities pillaged, and countries laid waste; circumstances which every good man will endeavor to prevent, and which he will consider the shame rather than the glory of the abettors of war. Whence come wars and fighting, says St. James, come they not hence even of your lusts; most undoubtedly they do, and those men among us who are clamorous for war, are enemies to God, enemies to man, and enemies to religion; and their pretensions to religion prove them to be hypocrites to a superlative degree.
The author of the christian religion considers meekness, forbearance, and the love of peace, as characteristics of the children of God, but federalists ridicule the christian doctrine, and of course the author too, and call meekness pusillanimity, the want of spirit, and the love of peace, cowardice.
The present administration, the most christian like of any government that ever men were blessed with; because it seeks by the best and most honorable means to preserve peace and harmony at home and abroad; because it considers the glory of a nation like that of individuals to consist in the love of peace & the practice of justice and forbearance—How has it been scoffed at and reviled by federalists, those "wolves in sheep's clothing." Christians, of every denomination, ye who revere God and religion, and are desirous of extending the peaceable religion of Christ, beware of the federalists, fall not into their errors nor embrace their doctrines.
Remember, God is the God of peace and order, and not of confusion, and that he views with complacency, those that "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly." Let your voices be in favor of a pacific government, and thus you will crush the demon of war, who goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. PACIFICATOR.
TEXT. The Federalists lay claim to all the Virtue, Religion and Honor of the country. COMMENT. At the last session of the Supreme Court in York County, one of Gov. Strong's Justices of the Peace, (a leading Federalist in Shapleigh) was convicted of taking illegal measures, in April last, to secure the election of his Patron. Gratitude for favors received, it seems induced him to carry in TWO Votes for the good old Governor—for which the Court fined him Twenty Dollars and costs of prosecution. Quere—What would the Federalists say, if a Republican Justice should be convicted of a similar crime? [Pittsfield (Mass) Sun.

National Legislature.
NINTH CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, DEC. 16.
Mr. J. Randolph offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is requested to cause to be laid before this House an account, stating the several sums which have been expended on the capitol, the President's house, the public offices, the navy yard, and the marine barracks respectively, and the amount expended on other objects of public expense within the city of Washington.
Messrs. Alston and Olin, suggested that it might be embarrassing to the public officers to give such a detailed and retrospective statement.
Mr. J. Randolph replied that his object was to get information, which purpose he wished to have a condensed view of the whole expenditures within the city of Washington. At present when an appropriation for a particular object was called for, he possessed no standard of comparison whereby to determine its propriety. He wished to know the aggregate amount which this cost of expense, of increasing expense, had cost the nation, together with the several items of expenditure. He desired this information to guide him in judging of the future appropriations that might be asked. Suppose the House should undertake to build an university—he understood there was such a project—and they should have an estimate for it—by knowing what these buildings had cost, the frequent appropriations called for, and recollecting that every appropriation was the last, they would know how to act, and whether they were about to be involved in a sea of expense, the confines of which they could never learn. He believed this had been the case in the building in which they sat, the conduct of the persons employed on it having always fallen short of the promise made.
The resolution was then agreed to without a division; and on the next day Messrs. J. Randolph and D. R. Williams appointed a committee to present it to the President.
TUESDAY, DEC. 16.
Mr. Daae called up his resolution relative to a survey of the coasts of the U. S. which was agreed to with an addition, proposed by Mr. Crowninshield, instructing the committee of Commerce and Manufactures to enquire into the expediency of surveying St. George's Bank or any other shoals and banks that may be dangerous to vessels approaching the coasts of the United States.
On motion of Mr. J. Clay the petition of sundry officers of the Pennsylvania line, who served in the war of 1775, was referred to the committee on the public lands.
Mr. Dawson moved to postpone the further consideration of the report of the committee of the whole, on the bill, authorizing the erection of a bridge across the Potomac, to the first Monday in January; this motion was opposed by Messrs. Lewis and Cook, and disagreed to—Ayes 36—Noes 55—when on motion of Mr. Lewis, the House took the report into consideration—Ayes 53.
After the adoption of several amendments, the bill was ordered to a third reading tomorrow.—Ayes 55.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 17.
Mr. J. Randolph, from the committee appointed yesterday to present a resolution to the President of the United States requesting information relative to the sums expended within the city of Washington, reported that the committee had performed that service, and had received for answer that the information should be laid before the House as soon as practicable.
Mr. Varnum presented a petition from sundry inhabitants of Tennessee, praying for a new post road, which was referred to the Post office committee.
Mr. T. W. Thompson presented a petition from sundry citizens of New-Hampshire, praying for a new post road, which was referred to the same committee.
The engrossed bill, authorizing the erection of a bridge across the Potomac was read the third time and passed without debate—Yeas 60—Nays 39.
The Speaker informed the House that he had received an anonymous communication addressed to Congress, from a writer who professed himself to be a foreigner, and desired his communication might be read with closed doors.
A short conversation ensued on the proper way of treating the communication; when it was agreed that it was best to take no order whatever upon it.
On motion of Mr. Early—The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole—Mr. Varnum in the chair—on the bill to prohibit the importation or bringing of slaves into the United States or the territories thereof after the 1st of Dec. 1807.
It was agreed that the bill required considerable amendment, for which purpose the committee rose, and obtained leave to sit again.
A message was received from the Senate, stating that they had appointed on their part a committee, in pursuance of the act making a further appropriation for the support of the library.
Mr. Fisk presented a petition from sundry inhabitants of Vermont, praying for the establishment of a new post road, which was referred to the Post office committee.
THURSDAY, DEC. 18.
Mr. Clinton presented a memorial from sundry inhabitants of New-York, praying that measures may be taken more effectually to fortify that port, which was referred to the committee appointed on that part of the message of the President that relates to the repairs of fortifications, &c.
The House again resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the bill prohibiting the importation of slaves.
A long debate ensued on various amendments offered. Without making a decision on any question of interest the committee rose, and asked leave to sit again—which was refused, and the bill recommitted to a select committee.
Mr. Dawson, from the committee appointed on that part of the message of the President, that relates to making provision
for offences committed against the U. S. presented a bill providing for the punishment of certain crimes against the U. S., which was referred to a committee of the whole House.
Mr. J. Randolph from the committee to whom was referred so much of the message of the President of the U. S. as relates to the invasion of our territory by the troops of Spain and to the adoption of measures for the protection thereof, respectfully recommended the following resolutions:
1. Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law to fortify and defend such position on the Mississippi, below the city of New-Orleans, as the President of the U. S. shall designate for the protection of that city; and that further provision ought to be made by law for guarding the approaches to the same from the east.
2. Resolved, That the President of the United States be authorised to accept of any company or companies, of volunteers, either of artillery, cavalry, or infantry, who may associate and offer themselves for the service, (not exceeding 1000 men,) who shall be clothed and furnished with horses at their own expense, and armed, and otherwise equipped at the expense of the U. S. except such of them as may choose to furnish their own arms, and whose commissioned officers shall be appointed by the respective state and territorial authorities; who shall be liable to be called upon to do military duty at any time the President shall judge proper, within two years after he shall accept the same—and when called into actual service and whilst remaining in the same shall be under the same rules and regulations, and be entitled to the same pay, rations, forage, and allowance for clothing with the regular troops of the United States.
This report, together with the accompanying documents, were referred to a committee of the whole House to-morrow.
A great deal of minor business was done.
FRIDAY, DEC. 19.
The bill to prohibit the importation of slaves, was reported with amendments.—One amendment provides the punishment of death for being concerned in importing slaves; another that slaves imported shall be forfeited in those states only where slavery is permitted.
The committee reported against the petition of the Sugar refiners.—A committee was instructed to consider the expediency of reducing the duties on foreign refined sugar and sugar candy.
A petition from collectors of ports in the district of Maine for increase of salaries was committed.
DIRECT TAX.
An order was passed, calling for an account of what amount of this tax was still due from each state.
BY THE MAILS.
PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 20.
A daring outrage was committed on the Western Mail Stage on Tuesday morning the 16th inst. about half a mile from the bridge on the Lancaster Turnpike Road, on its route to the westward, by two or more foot pads, who attempted to seize the horses, at the same time calling out to the driver to stop and deliver, which was not obeyed. Instantly a piece was discharged at him, but happily the contents struck the fore part of the stage by his side and he escaped unhurt. The assassin who fired was so near that the wadding of his piece fell on fire in the stage amongst the passengers, nine in number. The horses ran off from the fright, and it being dark no attempt was made at detection, at the time. For apprehending the villains, Mr. Tomlinson, offers a reward of 100 dollars.
NEW-YORK, DEC. 25
A very interesting trial has just terminated here, of two lads one about 14 the other 16 years of age; who were convicted of robbery in a store, and afterwards setting fire to the town of Brooklyn. The eldest (William Cornwell) is sentenced to the State Prison for life; the younger (Martin Hill) for two years and an half.
TROY, (N. Y.) DEC. 23.
Robbery and Murder Most Daringly Attempted!
About four o'clock on Sunday morning last, the Half-Way-House (so called) in Watervliet, two miles and a half from this village on the road to Albany, occupied by Mr. John Pyc, as a tavern, was broken open by a man in a mask, and armed with at least three pistols, who, without waking any one, put out all the fire in the house, except the light in his dark lantern, and opened the doors and windows to secure a retreat, if necessary. He then proceeded, with a loaded pistol in his hand, to Mr. Pyc's chamber and called him. Mrs. Pyc asked what he wanted; at which Mr. P. awoke. The robber demanded money; and ordered Mr. P. on peril of his life, to deliver what he had in the house. Mr. P. got up and went below with him, while Mrs. P. waked some lodgers in another room. Mr. P. when below, told the robber his key was left above, and he could not get at his money; on which he was ordered above, and the robber followed him close, with his pistol prepared for discharge. On discovering the travellers coming from another room, he commanded them to remain within, or he assured them they should receive the contents of his pistol. Not knowing but he had others with him, and the hall being narrow, they stopped; and he followed Mr. Pyc to the door of his chamber. Mr. P. asked Mrs. P. for his key; and, with the noblest presence of mind, while getting the key, she brought a two-barrelled gun, loaded with small shot only, behind her. But in approaching her husband, the robber discovered the gun, and shot Mr. P. through his left arm below the elbow, and through his body, with a rifle-ball. Mrs. P. at this instant had cocked the gun, and handed it to Mr. P. desiring him to shoot immediately, which he did, as he had not yet fallen. As he fired, however, Mr. P. fell; and had the satisfaction (if any could be in such a scene) to hear the robber fall too. In the affray the robber's lantern was broken, or at least the light extinguished; and total darkness ensued. The wounded robber was heard to be flung down stairs; and the people in the house, being all alarmed, had to strike fire from the gun before any thing could be done—when the robber was gone, leaving the hall, flairs, and lower room, besmeared with blood.
Horses were immediately prepared, while some guns and the pistol which the robber had dropped were loaded; and a man was dispatched for a surgeon, at the same time that a travelling pedlar pursued the robber, who was overtaken, or way-laid by persons alarmed in the Colony, and his hat knocked off, on which he discharged a pistol at his besiegers, and then dropped it, from weakness or by accident.—He then passed into Albany, and being hard pressed, jumped his horse from the dock to the ice, crossed the river, was turned at Bath by his pursuers, and then rode over fields to the eastward till his horse mired in a swamp, where he was taken—but not till he had knocked down one man and attempted to shoot the constable, who knocked his (3d) pistol from him. He was much weakened by loss of blood which flowed abundantly, and the back part of his clothes were eaten mostly off by aquafortis or vitriol, a bottle of both which he had about him. He had a few instruments for picking locks, &c. about him when examined; and he said he belonged to New-Jersey, that he was left from Canada, and that his name was Johnson.—After his wound being dressed (from which we are told he is not out of danger,) he was committed, to await the punishment, which the law will inflict, for such horrid and merciless butchery.
Extract of a letter received in N. York, dated Washington, Dec. 12 1806.
"I am happy to inform you that the subject of defence for N. York, has been begun seriously by the executive, and will be steadily pursued until the city and harbor, shall be put into a respectable state of defence. In a few days a report will be made to the senate on this subject which will anticipate the memorial of your citizens unless they are very expeditious. Gen. Dearborne has given me the most solid assurance that both the battery and Narrows will be fortified in their turn, and that Fort Jay shall be fortified in the most complete manner. It is the intention of the executive to do every thing for permanent service, and to have no more fortifications of wood and sand. Tell your citizens they shall be defended. Tell them government is awake to their protection; and if business goes on slow, it will be the more sure and effectual on that account."
From the Peruvian Minerva. Recapture of Buenos Ayres.
LIMA, 23d Sept.—"Yesterday arrived here an express which left Arequipa on the 13th inst. with the pleasing intelligence, that the victorious army of his Catholic majesty had reconquered the city of Buenos Ayres on the 12th of Aug. Its brave deliverer was the marine capt. (in the navy) Don Santiago Liniers, who having heard of the capture by the enemy, went to Montevideo, the governor of which place gave him the command of a light flotilla of about 20 sail and 1500 men, troops of the line and volunteers, completely armed."
"They disembarked at Puerto de las Conchas, where they were joined by some inhabitants of Buenos Ayres and the surrounding country, by which addition their number amounted to 2300, when they marched together on the 10th, to Retiro, where they were detained by various circumstances, until the 12th, when they attacked, with the greatest intrepidity, all the fortified places occupied by the enemy and completely defeated them."
"At the moment of the assault, the enemy surrendered, to avoid being put to the sword, with which our general had threatened them. Gen. W. Beresford is a prisoner of war, with upwards of a thousand troops, who now remain at the disposal of the conqueror."
BOSTON, JAN. 1, 1807.
By the arrival at N. York, of the ship Jenny, we are informed that the French army entered Berlin on the 21st of October; that the king of Prussia was said to be mortally wounded at the battle of Jena; and that an army of 100,000 Russians and Swedes had arrived on the Prussian frontiers.
On the 10th of November the Jenny was boarded by the British ship Atlas, Capt. Pym, of 74 guns, then 7 days from Plymouth. Capt. P. informed that all differences between the U. States and Great Britain had been adjusted.
We are concerned to state, that in the General engagement, which took place on the 14th, upon the Plains of Weimar, the Prussians were defeated by the French. The French army pushed on for Leipzig, which they entered we believe, the next day. Lord Morpeth (the British envoy) and suite were in that town the moment the enemy arrived. His servants and carriages were taken by the French, and he narrowly escaped the same fate. His Lordship made his retreat on foot, and sent off dispatches to Ministers, from Brunswick, communicating the result of the day.

BOSTON, DEC. 27.
Supreme Judicial Court.
The trial of THOMAS OLIVER SELFRIDGE, Esq. on an indictment of manslaughter, which commenced before the Supreme Court, sitting in this town, on Tuesday last, continued until yesterday noon; when, after this long and interesting hearing, Judge PARKER summed up the evidence; and gave the cause to the jury, with his accustomed perspicuity, and impartiality. The jury retired about two o'clock; and came into Court, at about half past four, with a verdict of Not Guilty.
THE late trial, however it may have been considered by the federalists as a party question, yet embraces considerations of a more serious nature than the mere political triumph of a few desperate associates. That falsehoods have been circulated to injure the reputation of the unfortunate deceased, for the letters testify which asserted that Selfridge's "skull was fractured," and the more scandalous report of Mr. Lowell's evidence before the Grand Jury. That the jury of trials was composed of men of different political sentiments, may possibly be the case; but we every one know that the favor of some federalists composing this body, is almost proverbial, while those who are said to be Republicans have in no instance been known in any political controversy. That Selfridge's particular friend was challenged by him is also granted; but it happens that this same friend had previously been on the jury of inquest, and had agreed to a verdict of "wilful murder."
We should not have noticed any thing further, till the report of the trial appears, had not the remarks in the federal papers made it necessary. These circumstances however are only mentioned to counteract their insidious insinuations, on this important decision. We are not disposed to make improper impressions, and are desirous that the trial should be so accurately reported as that the truth may appear, free from every false coloring. The melancholy disaster we would not contemplate as a subject connected with the noisy battle of political controversy. It is of little consequence whether federalism or republicanism are promoted by the issue of the trial. The death of an innocent youth arrests more serious reflections. There is a tribunal to which an appeal must eventually be made, and whole far of guilty or not guilty must be eternally irrevocable. The books which will be opened at this judiciary and the authorities which will be read by the Supreme Judge, can never be controverted. There are no contradictory reports in those pages; the record is infallible, and the Charge delivered from the Judgment-seat, will contain no mysteries how far the life of man is guarded by the sanctions of Deity. If that important period, the man who shed the blood of his fellow creature, can hold up his hand before God and solemnly swear that he was under an absolute necessity to kill his brother in his own defence; that no other alternative remained; that he was obliged so far to become the avenger of his own wrongs, as to execute immediate vengeance on the assailant. If a man can do this, in the presence of the Supreme Being he may be acquitted of this tremendous charge; but if not, he may expect the solemn denunciation, "Vengeance is mine and I will repay it saith the Lord." Chronicle.
The following is said to be the substance of the anonymous communication addressed to Congress, on the 17th ult. by a writer who professed himself to be a foreigner, and desired his communication might be read with closed doors:
"That the United States were in great danger from France and Spain; that Bonaparte would invade us as soon as he was at liberty in Europe, that he kept many spies in the country, some of which the writer was acquainted with. The writer urged the necessity of providing speedily for the effectual defence of the United States; and recommended, that as we have no generals of our own, Moreau should be placed at the head of an army. He stated that many French officers were disgusted with the emperor, and would willingly engage in our service. The writer promised his next communication should be from Bordeaux."
The Governor of Virginia, in his communication to the General Assembly, observes,
"A people, once free, can never be enslaved, so long as they remain enlightened. With arms in the hands of a well regulated militia, they may defy invasion; and elevated by virtue, and inspired with the knowledge of their own rights, and the duties of their representatives; they will have nothing to fear from the intrigues of faction, or the designs of ambition; for "the voice of the people" will then be heard as the "voice of God." Our present situation is favorable in the extreme to the introduction of great and useful improvements. By the most happy organization, our foreign relations are entrusted to the Federal Government, and they are now under the guidance of an administration, whose wisdom, virtue and unceasing solicitude for the public welfare, command all our confidence, and leave us at leisure to devote our attention to internal and domestic improvement."
MIRANDA is at Trinidad, waiting an answer to an application he has made to the British Government for a respectable land force. Dispatches, in reply, are expected in Dec. Miranda has received a letter from Ad. Popham, at Buenos Ayres,
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1807.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
A British Packet, arrived at New-York from Falmouth, has brought London letters and papers to the 7th November:—
They state that Berlin was taken by the French, the 24th October;—That the British envoy to Prussia, had returned to London; and that
On the 12th Nov. an Expedition consisting of four sail of the line, two frigates, and thirty four other vessels, with 4000 troops on board, failed from Falmouth, victualled for twelve months, under the orders of Commodore STOPFORD, and General CRAUFORD; and that another expedition was fitting out from Ramsgate and Margate.
A letter from London, of the 7th Nov. says, "We have no other news from the continent, except that the French have entered Berlin:—that the Russians, on their way to join the Prussians were in Silesia; and that Bonaparte had made peace with the Elector of Saxony; thereby depriving poor, but perfidious Prussia of his support." Centinel.
The recapture of Buenos Ayres, by the Spaniards, commanded by a Frenchman, is confirmed, by an arrival at Charleston, from Montevideo. Sir HOME POHAM's squadron, lay in the river, to prevent vessels falling into the hands of the Spaniards. The reinforcements, for Buenos Ayres, left England early in October, and must have arrived in the River of Plate some time since. Two of the transports were at St. Jago (Cape de Verds) the 6th October; having separated from the rest in a gale. It is supposed the whole will touch at St. Jago. ibid.
A letter from Gibraltar, Sept. 10, says, "The Portuguese have captured five sail of Barbary cruisers, one Algerine (the fch. presented to the Dey by the U. S.) on board of which were forty of their own people, two Tunisians and two Tripolitans, one of whom was Admiral LISLE."
The obscurity, that has for some time enveloped the projects of Aaron Burr, begins to give place to facts. From a great variety of information received from various quarters, we believe, it may be confidently said—
1. That a military plan has been formed;—and 2. That Aaron Burr is the leader of it.
From many circumstances, the object contemplated would seem to be of no mean grade. What it precisely is may be considered as a matter of some doubt. Indeed it is extremely probable that it will be made to accommodate itself to the degrees of success with which the first steps taken shall be crowned. That views, hostile to the Spanish possessions, and embracing a dismemberment of the union are entertained, is proved by a thousand circumstances. Whether either, or both of these exploits will be directly attempted can only be ascertained by events.
It appears to have been planned that the different bodies of volunteers should unite at Natchez the beginning of December. Should the proclamation and orders of the President reach that place in time, where we have two gun boats, it is possible the scheme may be crushed in its embryo state. Should it however have previously passed on, or should its numbers enable it to proceed without a check, New-Orleans may be the point of attack, the shipping at which place may be seized to aid in carrying on an enterprise against Vera Cruz. At all events, however, whatever momentary triumphs may crown these treasonable schemes, they will soon and vigorously be crushed by the arm of government, and it will be seen that the Western people will do their duty.
Our decided opinion is that there ought to be no reserve on this subject. Treason and traitors are entitled to no reserve; and the people of the United States, without being unnecessarily alarmed, ought to be enabled to appreciate the danger that menaces them. Under this impression we shall give publicity to every fact of importance that we can collect, and even to rumors of any consequence, carefully separating the one from the other, to avoid doing injustice to those who may be erroneously implicated.—Nat. Int.
A very serious riot occurred at New York, on Thursday evening, Dec. 25, (Christmas Eve,) in which one or two watchmen were killed. It originated in a brutal attack on the Roman Catholics.
We learn by the late arrivals at New York, that a FIRE broke out at St. Thomas on the 3d inst. and not extinguished till the 9th—during which time most of the business-part of the town was LAID IN ASHES!

TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Dec. 20th, 1806.
"I have the honor to inform you that the President of the United States did yesterday approve an Act, suspending for a limited time the act of last session, prohibiting the importation of certain goods from the dominions of Great Britain. The act remits all penalties and forfeitures already incurred under the prohibitory act, on payment by the parties of the costs which may have occurred. A copy of the Act will be transmitted as soon as it shall have been printed. I have the honor to be respectfully your obedient servant,
ALBERT GALLATIN."
Judge Sebastian.—This officer has undergone an examination before the Kentucky Legislature, in which it appeared that he held a pension from the Spanish government of 2000 dollars a year, expressly for personal services; and that he had endeavoured to organize a society in Kentucky to petition his Catholic Majesty for a grant of territory in Louisiana, on the grounds that the society were discontented with the government of the U. S. and desirous of living under that of Spain.
[Salem Gazette.]
The ambition of France is no favorite subject. As if no other power existed on earth, and we had no other nation of which we ought to be jealous. We are told that we have every thing to fear from this power, but have we nothing to fear from the secret emissaries of other nations who hope to raise a public fever, and profit from our madness. [Salem Reg.]
MAP OF THE STATE.
MR. CARRIGAIN, Secretary of this State, and Mr. MERRILL, of Stratham, have returned from the northerly parts of the State, where they have been for some time engaged, with a number of assistants, in surveying the State's lands, more particularly the country that lies adjoining to and surrounds the White Mountains. We are happy to hear that they have made considerable progress in effecting those surveys that are necessary for making a Map of the State, which is the object for which these surveys are made. We understand that more surveys are necessary in that and other quarters of the State, to furnish materials for a correct and accurate Map of the State, and that the Secretary intends making them in the course of the present winter and ensuing spring.
From the exertions which are making, and the talents and industry engaged in the undertaking, we think that we may safely congratulate the public on the pleasing prospect of soon having, what is so much needed, and so universally desired, a correct and accurate Map of the State of New Hampshire. [Concord Gazette.]
THE HILLSBOROUGH BANK, established in this town, is in operation, and we understand the bills are well received at a distance. The bills issued by this Bank are 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 dollar bills—all of Mr. Perkins' stereotype plate, which, it is confidently asserted, cannot be counterfeited. [Amherst Cabinet.]

The Editors of the New Hampshire Gazette present the compliments of the season to their generous Patrons.—They feel peculiarly grateful for the punctuality of a large proportion of their Customers. They are sorry to say there are any who do not merit their gratitude.—But those delinquent subscribers who have not made any payment since the commencement of the present firm, (17th April 1805) who will not be prevailed on by solicitation and entreaty to balance their accounts, are informed that threats have become so threadbare, by frequent use, that other measures must be resorted to, and they now declare to all those whose accounts shall remain unsettled on the last day of next month, that their names will be erased from the list of honorable Patrons to the Gazette, and their accounts lodged in the hands of an attorney for collection.

THE FALLING TOWER.  MARK ye the Tower, whose lonely balls Re-echo to yon falling stream! Mark ye its bare and crumbling walls, Where slowly fades the sinking beam!  There oft when Eve in silent trance Hears the lorn red-breast's plaintive moan, Time turning round a cautious glance, Heaves from its base some mould'ring stone.  There, tho' in Time's departed day, War wov'd his glittering banners high: Tho' many a minstrel pour'd the lay, And many a beauty trac'd the eye;  Yet never midst the gorgeous scene, Mid the proud feasts of splendid power, Shone on the pile a beam serene, So bright as gilds its falling hour.  Oh! thus, when life's gay scenes shall fade, And pleasure lose its wonted bloom, When creeping age shall bare my head, And point me to the silent tomb!  Then may Religion's ballow'd flame, Shed on my mind its mild soft ray; And bid it seek in purer frame, One bright Eternity of Day.
COMPARISON OF MAN.
Man has long been figuratively compared to a worm—and perhaps the simile may well apply, not merely from his affinity to earth, but from the vile uses often made of him. Worms are impaled upon hooks, and suffered to writhe, in lingering agonies for the purpose of betraying an unwary fish into the most cruel and painful of all deaths; and this is mistakably and absurdly called, by human beings, sport!—Men are also impaled upon bayonets and swords, and massacred and mutilated by other destructive engines—and this is, by beings who pretend to rationality, as mistakably and absurdly call'd glory!
TO THE LADIES.
The following are humbly recommended as necessary requisits for a Lady's Toilet:—A fine eye-water, benivolence .—Belt white paint, innocence .—A mixture, giving sweetness to the voice, mildness and truth .—A wash to prevent wrinkles, contentment .—Belt rouge, modesty .—A pair of the most valuable ear-rings, attention .—An universal beautifier, good humor .—A lip salve, cheerfulness .
