Political Miscellany.
From the Aurora.
WILLIAM PITT.
The English papers are stuffed with eulogies of the late execrable minister of Great Britain, Pitt—and there are idiots here who take upon trust every eulogium of meanness and corruption on the subject—he is called "one of the greatest statesmen of the age"—what is the meaning of the phrase, in what did his greatness consist—what were the measures, projects and achievements of Pitt. We recollect only one act of his life that bore the appearance of virtue, his support of the reform of parliament—his whole political life since, has been a tissue of extravagant corruption—unexampled waste of life, wealth, national honor and happiness;—he has been the patron of projects of depravity and massacre, that no other monster since Caligula ever countenanced the like—he destroyed every vestige of the freedom of the press in his native land.
He transplanted the battles of Paris, to the Spasfields in London.
He corrupted, tempted, and seduced the gallant loyalists of France, and he sacrificed them at Quiberon.
He stimulated a religious war in Vendee, in support of the catholic religion.
He stimulated a religious war of the Orange faction or protestants in Ireland, to massacre the catholics.
He established a guard of English protestants over the pope in Italy.
At the same time that he was holding out premiums for catholic massacre in Ireland.
He forced Tuscany into a war by the menaces of his agents Harvey and Windham.
He forced the king of Naples into four successive wars and violations of treaties by his tool Action.
He bombarded Genoa for not declaring war against a nation with which it was in alliance.
By his minister Fitzgerald, he menaced and drove Switzerland into a revolution.
He forced Portugal into hostility. He forced Spain into the war and when she had joined, he sacrificed her.
He took Toulon in the name of Louis, and he plundered it in breach of his engagements—laughing at Spain and Portugal and Naples for demanding their share of the plunder. When those who had sold Toulon, were overcome, he sacrificed them.
He forced Holland into the war, and seized upon her naval fleets and merchantmen.
After the stadholder had lost his power, country and fortune, Pitt deserted him and left the Prince of Orange to the generosity of the conqueror.
The Belgians before the French revolution commenced, had revolted against the emperor Joseph—Pitt sent English generals, arms and gold, to foment the insurrection—and when they were subdued, deserted them.
He seduced the Turkish Sultan from an alliance with his only secure ally, and exposed him to be plundered by Russia, his greatest enemy.
The king of Sardinia was seduced, subjugated, and despoiled of his kingdom, through the seduction of Pitt.
Poland was in alliance with England, a treaty most sacred subsisted between them, and English commerce profited by it, but Pitt, abandoned Poland to the Coalition.
The Swiss oligarchs produced an insurrection—English arms, money and officers were sent to conduct it—they were defeated, and the Watteville &c. who had relied upon Pitt, were deserted and forced to throw themselves on the mercy and generosity of their conqueror.
Denmark wished to maintain her rights to neutral commerce—her fleet and her capital were attacked by the fleet of Britain under Pitt's direction because she preferred independence and peace to abject submission to England.
From the Dutch who were involved in the war—Ceylon and the spice islands—and all her colonies were captured by the orders of Pitt.
Austria thrice seduced by Pitt, has been a third time conquered—and loses some of the finest territory in Europe—and a population of about 12 millions by the counsel of Pitt.
A treaty was concluded at Amiens—Malta was to be restored to its ancient owners, Pitt preferred war to delivering it up, and this produced the present war.
After fomenting a civil war in Ireland, and countenancing the torture, half hanging, the picket and the lash to extort accusations from feeble men against innocent victims—after spreading desolation and slaughter and burning through the peaceful villages and hamlets of Ireland—he sought refuge in a bill of indemnity to save him and his instruments from the arm of offended and violated justice.
When the leaders in the Irish resistance against this bloody oppressor, capitulated, it was Pitt who violated the solemn obligations of the treaty, and incarcerated for five years, in the dungeon of Fort George, those whom he had solemnly engaged to permit to go into exile.
As the glories of the heroes of all ages are eclipsed by the actions and magnanimity of one man—so do the concentrated villains of all former villains, find an example and almost an apology when compared with Pitt.
Jonathan Wild and Barrington have been great thieves—and in such company would be called great—Robespierre took off 200 heads—Marat said 20,000 should be cut off—but Pitt was a greater monster than Wild, or Robespierre, or Marat—to estimate his greatness—in another view, never were there a greater number of criminals, prostitutes, prisoners—than during Pitt's administration—Hume said England must fall if her debt amounted to about 50,000,000—Pitt has made it twelve times greater—He was indeed a great minister of mischief and misery—never was greater extravagance—greater corruption—greater profligacy abroad, and at home—greater madness, greater expenditure or greater efforts made to reduce mankind to abject submission to the will and wishes of England—never were great designs productive of such great mischief, without producing in any single instance, the object proposed—Neither indemnity for the past, nor security for the future—neither the restoration of the Boers, nor the partition of France—neither the separation of Belgium nor the shutting the Scheldt;—Every effect has been the contrary of what was proposed by the plans of Pitt.
France has been made the arbiter of Europe, instead of being destroyed, every power on the continent of Europe, but Denmark was at one period, or another in arms against France—Every one of these powers is now subdued or annihilated by France.
The gold that has been expended, by Pitt to corrupt the cabinets of Europe, has been transferred to and enriched the coffers of France.
Such is the outline of the history of what is called a great statesman—but which every moral and upright man will call a great villain.
Those who look with confidence to the new English administration, had better not confide too much—the system, the master fraud must be carried on—and every man who shrinks from the support of the jungle goes out—and none can stay in without carrying it on—measures, therefore, and not men, can be the only criterion. ibid.
FEDERAL PIETY.
A republican, riding, a few days ago, in the county of Worcester, on Sunday, was attacked by one of fifteen tything-men of a certain town. The traveller after a critical examination was suffered to pass on. Immediately after, he was accosted by a second tything-man, who appeared fixed in his determination to confine the delinquent until Monday. This petty officer paid no attention to a statement that "a sick child at home required its father's presence." He was inexorable. At length the traveller had recourse to stratagem. He told the officer in a low but confidential tone, "that he was sent out from the Boston Federal Committee upon an engineering plan for Gov't Strong, that it was absolutely necessary, in order to ensure the election of Mr. Strong that he should carry certain intelligence to Northampton as soon as possible." This story operated like magic upon our federal tything man. His distorted muscles resumed their native complacency—He patted his oath, scratched his head, nodded assent, and away rode Pil Garlick, admiring federal piety and exulting in the success of his stratagem. (Massachusetts Repub. Spy.)

FELLOW CITIZENS, It is intended by us, the people of New Hampshire, that the judges of our Courts of law, should possess a discretionary power to determine the merits of a cause...
The power of a Court cannot be circumscribed by the opinion of a jury, the executive power being exercised by the Court alone; but the rights of the jury may be curtailed by a Court, inasmuch, as judges propound rules of law, and may impose on us, that, which is not law.
People of New Hampshire? I have given you no detail of cases in order to support a favorite opinion: I have stated facts, and now leave them with you for comment.—but I shall not decline an argument.
With respect to the case, to which I called your attention; I have given you but the outline. I am precluded from going into the merits, by the consideration, that a future trial of the cause might be affected by any previous examination.
"And be it further enacted, that every action tried in the Court of Common Pleas, which originated before a justice of the peace, and came up to the said Court by way of appeal, and every action tried in the Superior Court of Judicature, where the cause originated at the Court of Common Pleas, may be reviewed in the Courts respectively, where final judgment was rendered: and the party, bringing such action of review, shall produce in Court, attested copies of the writ, judgment, and all papers used and filed at the former trial: and either party may offer any new or further evidence, and when either party shall bring forward such action of review, the whole cause shall be tried in the same manner, as if no judgment had been given thereon.
The Jury were, Maj. Barnard, Joseph Sanborn, Levi Bachelder, Joseph Perkins, Samuel Brown, Isaac Morrison, Samuel Prescott, Theodore Barber, James Perkins, James Eaton, jun. Samuel George, Benjamin Shaw.
done; I may be permitted to ask, why did the judges, impose on the defendant the condition, that hereafter, he must waive his right to a review? Why did they not let the verdict stand, freely; without clogging their act of grace with an oppressive stipulation?
Fellow-Citizens, you have two questions to consider: the first, is most essential. Our Constitution, is, as the Basis, to the Temple of liberty. Our statutes, may be compared to the superstructure. The latter if shaken, may be repaired: but should the Basis be broken, the Temple itself will be overturned, it will fall in ruins.
The following eulogium, of a celebrated English Judge; cannot but make an impression on your minds. "The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the Glory of the English law.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE. Sir William Blackstone.
National Legislature. NINTH CONGRESS.....FIRST SESSION. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. SATURDAY, MARCH 29.
A message was received from the Senate, informing that they have passed a bill to carry into effect the provisions of the eighth section of the "Act regulating the grants of land, and providing for the disposal of the lands of the United States, south of the state of Tennessee."
This bill relates to what are generally denominated the YAZOO CLAIMS.
The bill having been read a first time, Mr. R. Nelson moved to reject it. Mr. Kelley wished it postponed, to allow time for considering it.
Mr. Clark supported its rejection. Mr. Gregg advocated the same course.
Mr. Cook was in favor of a short postponement.
Mr. Goldsborough was anxious to be allowed a short time for considering the merits of the bill, and moved a postponement of it till Monday.
The Speaker decided this motion not to be in order.
Mr. Goldsborough then asked that he might be excused from voting on the bill.
Mr. J. Randolph spoke at considerable length in favor of rejecting the bill.
Mr. Fisk said he should vote against the rejection.
The question was then taken on excusing Mr. Goldsborough from voting, and passed—Ayes 58—Noes 51.
Mr. Kelly asked a similar indulgence.
Mr. D. R. Williams spoke in favor of rejecting the bill.
On excusing Mr. Kelley the House divided—Ayes 49—Noes 58.
Motion was made and carried, to reconsider the decision relative to Mr.
Goldsborough—Ayes 63—when the question was again taken, and passed in the negative—Ayes 44—Noes 64.
Mr. J. Randolph again spoke in favor of the rejecting the bill. The Yeas and Nays were then taken on the question, "shall the bill be rejected?"—and were Yeas 62—Nays 54—So the bill was rejected.
Mr. J. Randolph moved that the House adjourn. He said that a few days ago the House adjourned on account of the death of Gen. Jackson. He hoped they would now adjourn on account of his resurrection—For he had told him, that if he could give a death blow to the Yazoo business, he could die in peace.
Adjourned—Ayes 58. SECRET SESSIONS. JANUARY, 3, 1806.
Mr. RANDOLPH, from the committee on the President's message, on Spanish affairs, made a report which began thus—
"The Committee have beheld with just indignation the hostile spirit manifested by the court of Madrid towards the Government of the U. S. in withholding the ratification of its convention with us, although signed by its own minister under the eye of his sovereign, unless with alterations of its terms, affecting claims of the U. S. which, by the express conditions of the instrument itself, were reserved for future discussion;—in piratical depredations upon our fair commerce;—in obstructing the navigation of the Mobile;—in refusing to come to any fair and amicable adjustment of the boundaries of Louisiana;—and in a daring violation, by persons acting under the authority of Spain, and no doubt, apprised of her sentiments, and views, of our undisputed limits which she had solemnly recognized by treaty."
And concluded by submitting the following resolution:—
"Resolved, That such number of troops, not exceeding as the President of the U. S. shall deem sufficient to protect the southern frontiers of the U. S. from Spanish inroad and insult, and to chastise the same, be immediately raised."
This report being considered, Mr. Bidwell moved the following Resolution, (as amended afterwards)—
"Resolved, That dollars be appropriated by law for the purpose of defraying the expense which may be incurred in the purchase of the Spanish territory, lying on the Atlantic Ocean, and Gulf of Mexico, and Eastward of the Mississippi, to be paid out of any monies in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to be applied under the direction of the President or the United States, who may have authority, if necessary, to borrow the said sum or any part thereof, in behalf of the United States, at a rate of interest not exceeding 6 per centum per annum, and shall cause an account of the expenditure thereof to be laid before Congress as soon as may be."
"Resolved, That the additional duty of two and a half per centum ad valorem, imposed by an act, entitled "An act further to protect the commerce and seamen of the United States, against the Barbary powers," be continued for years
These resolutions were ordered to be taken into consideration. JANUARY 7, 1806.
Mr. RANDOLPH moved the following resolution:—
"Resolved, That any arrangement of limits between the U. S. and Spain, which shall secure to her an ample barrier on the side of Mexico, and to the U. S. the countries watered by the Mississippi, and to the eastward of it, will meet the approbation and support of this House."
JAN. 8, 9, 10, 1806. A discussion of the above resolutions occupied the House in Committee, these days;—when the resolution for raising troops was disagreed to; and other resolutions adopted. SATURDAY, JAN. 11, 1806.
The House took up the report of the committee of the whole, and the question to concur with the committee in disagreeing to the resolution to raise troops, passed in the affirmative—Yeas 73. Nays 58. JAN. 14, 1806.
The House then took up Mr. Bidwell's resolution for appropriating money, &c. to purchase the Floridas; and agreed to the same—Yeas 77. Nays 54. JAN. 15, 1806.
Mr. Bidwell reported a bill making provision for defraying the expense of the purchase of the Floridas; which was read twice. The sum of Two Millions of dollars was appropriated for the purpose. THURSDAY, JAN. 16, 1806.
The Two Millions of Dollars appropriation bill, passed to be enacted. Yeas 76—Nays 54.
REPORT Of the Secretary of State on the Impression of American Seamen by British vessels.
The Secretary of State, in compliance with the order of the House of Representatives of the 6th of January, directing him to lay before it "a return to the number of American seamen who have been impressed or detained by the ships of war or privateers of Great Britain, whose names have been reported to the department of state since the statement was made to the house at the last session of Congress; mentioning the names of the persons impressed, and the time of the impression; together with any facts and circumstances in relation to the same which may have been reported to him: stating also the whole number of American seamen impressed from the commencement of the present war in Europe, and including in a separate column, the number of passengers, if any who may have been taken out of American vessels coming to the United States from Europe," has the honor to transmit herewith the names of nine hundred and thirteen persons who appear to have been reported to the department of state since the last statement was made to Congress; together with discrimination in the particulars required by the order, except as hereafter mentioned.
The aggregate number of impressions into the British service, since the commencement of the present war in Europe, is found to be two hundred and seventy three.
It is not easy to distinguish with accuracy, how many of these persons were really not citizens of the United States, but the column of remarks, added to the list in lieu of this discrimination, will exhibit some ground for judging of the fact.
It has not been deemed necessary to make a separate column for impressed passengers, as this description of persons have been reported to be impressed but in the few cases subjoined.
It is proper to observe, that a small part only of the period since the last statement there was an agent for seamen for the leeward islands at Jamaica, the gentleman who then held the charge having resigned it, and another who had been appointed to succeed him, having declined accepting it.—The agent appointed for Antigua having been absent from that Island since his appointment in May last, no returns have been received from the windward islands. From these circumstances it is very probable that many impressions have been made in the West Indian seas, which though of a recent date, are not included in the present report. All which is respectfully submitted. JAMES MADISON. Department of State, March 5.
Extra from the London Morning Chronicle of January 3.
"We this day insert a copy of the speech of the President of the U. S. of America on the opening of Congress. It states, strongly, the complaints of the Americans respecting the depredations committed on their trade upon their own coasts, and states that measures had been adopted to repress such outrages, which appear mostly to have been done by vessels without commissions, or exceeding their commissions. The disputes with Spain about Louisiana are mentioned, and the whole of the case between the two powers is to be laid before Congress.
"The part of the speech which will be found most interesting here, is that which alludes to the capture of American vessels by our ships, on the ground of their aiding the enemy. From the attention we have had time this day to bestow upon it, we are inclined to think that, both from the disposition of the President and the point he states to be in dispute, the matter may be amicably adjusted. It never can be pretended, nor do we believe is pretended, by this country, that we have a right to prevent neutrals carrying on all that commerce with enemies which we permit to ourselves during war.—We cannot with justice accuse others of aiding the enemy if we do the very things ourselves which constitutes that aid. But it is probable, however that the Americans will claim a much greater latitude of neutral commerce."
"The President, in the present circumstances, recommends putting the coast in a state of defence, and preparing the public force by sea and land for action, if necessary."
LATEST FROM EUROPE. BY AN ARRIVAL AT BALTIMORE, FROM LONDON.
G. Britain. London, Feb. 21. OF AUSTRIA.
A private letter from Bremen of the 11th inst. contains the following article, relative to the sentences passed on the officers whose conduct produced the recent misfortunes to the House of Austria:—
"You have of course heard that the Archduke Charles has caused a thorough investigation into the causes of the misfortunes of the Imperial arms in Germany, and, asounding to think,
the undermentioned persons, to high in the confidence of his Majesty, are said to have had the following sentences passed upon them, for the criminal part they have acted in the late transactions:—
"Prince Attersberg, to be deprived of his nobility, his estates confiscated, and imprisoned ten years in the fortress of Spielberg. Prince Lambert, imprisoned for life, in the said fortress. General Jell, sentenced to be shot. Privy Counsellor Callenbach, ordered to quit the Imperial States. Counsellor Faszender, to be dismissed from his office. Field Marshal Kaunitz, and Field Marshal Aufenberg, have committed suicide while under arrest. All the staff officers of the regiments of Kaunitz and Spork, reduced and disgraced. Count Cobentzel, ordered to quit the country. General Mack's plans to be submitted to a board of general officers. Thirty Generals dismissed, and many more under examination."
OF PRUSSIA.
Our letters from Holland continue to assert, that Bonaparte perseveres in his earnest entreaties to the King of Prussia, to induce his Majesty to shut his ports against the commerce of England, and it is feared that the implacable tyrant will ultimately carry his point in this respect. Much, however, will depend upon the result of the negotiations now pending at Berlin, in which the Danish Minister takes a conspicuous part.
The trimming policy of the cabinet of Berlin, is universally reprobated in the North of Germany.—It has formally acknowledged the mock sovereignty of Bavaria and Wirtemberg.
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
We received this morning American papers to the 16th ult. The Congress has been occupied in close sitting in the discussion of the differences between the Court of Madrid and the United States, as well as of the grounds of complaint preferred by the mercantile interest against the acts of violence that have been so frequently imputed to our cruisers. None of the proceedings in either had, however, been allowed to transpire. The merchants of New-York are extremely indignant at the restrictions and vexations under which they assert their trade labors, from the conduct of British ships of war. Should their complaints be just, we sincerely hope that every explanation and facility will be offered by our government to preserve a good understanding with the United States.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Capture of Medina.—Last night a packet arrived at the India house from Mr. Barker, the company's resident at Bagdad, containing an account of the capture of Medina by the Wahabees, whose army, having been reinforced from the desert, has overwhelmed the adjacent country, and taken the city by assault, with infinite bloodshed and devastation.—They set fire to Medina in various places, destroyed the mosques, after having ransacked them of their valuable shrines and treasures, and completely demolished the tomb of the Prophet.
Some thousands of females of the first rank were carried off by the besiegers into the desert, with a number of the principal male inhabitants. A troop of camels were also sent away with jewels and other treasure to an immense amount.
A council of the cabinet ministers was yesterday afternoon held at Mr. Secretary Fox's office, in Downing street. Rumor stated, that the deliberations related to the subject of peace; but we could not trace this rumor to any authentic source.
We understand that a close blockade of all the enemy's ports is one of the measures determined upon by the new board of Admiralty.
Accounts were yesterday received from Dublin, of partial disturbances having arisen in the county of Mayo, but wholly unconnected with any political question. They are stated to have originated solely in the vexatious manner, to the poorer classes, in which the tythes are let, and in which they are collected.
FEB. 25. The Electors of Bavaria and Wirtemberg were proclaimed Kings on the 1st day of this month, at which time Napoleon was at Munich. A report had prevailed on the Continent that he intended making a visit to Berlin, where, it appears, the Emperor Alexander is again expected.
FEB. 26. It is the general opinion in Spain, that they will be compelled by the French to march an army against Portugal in the approaching Spring.—We recollect an article to this effect, in the Monitor, some days ago, given as intelligence received from Madrid, but which, in all probability, came direct from the French Government.

On Wednesday the bill prohibiting the importation of certain [British] goods, wares and merchandise, passed the House of Representatives by a majority of 61 votes. The Yeas and Nays were as follows:
Yeas. —Messrs. Alexander, Alston, jun. Anderson, Bard, Barker, Bassett, Bedinger, Bidwell, Blackledge, Blake, jun. Blount, Brown, Butler, G. W. Campbell, Chandler, Claiborne, Clark, J. Clay, M.

By comparing this vote with that given on the resolution, which formed the basis of the bill, it will be found that the vote of approbation has received a considerable accession of strength. This has, in some degree, arisen from several of the republican members, who were originally the friends of stronger measures, conceding their own opinions to what, on discussion, appeared to be the general sentiment, or from a change of opinion, the offspring of a more mature and dispassionate reflection.
Such is the greatness of the majority in favor of this measure, and so irresistibly does this majority prove it to be consentaneous with the voice of the American people, that we hazard very little in considering it in the light of a measure already clothed with the efficacy of a law. For, it is scarcely to be expected, that the Senate, even did they entertain a different impression from the immediate representatives of the people, would oppose their will to that of the nation. This issue is the less to be expected from a body, which, from various indications of its sentiments, appears to be animated by like feelings and views with the House of Representatives.
Our congratulations on the adoption of this measure will not, from these considerations, be viewed as premature. Exercising that liberty of opinion, which is the pride of every American, and which we hope and believe will endure forever, we do not hesitate to say that our individual opinions were most friendly to the measure recommended by Mr. Gregg's resolution. Nothing, which we have heard, has induced us to abandon this conviction. Nor is it certain—we cannot say even probable—that this measure would not have received the sanction of a majority of the votes of the members of the House of Representatives. Our prevailing opinion is that it would have commanded a majority.
But on this occasion, as on most, if not all of the great occasions, which have occurred since our country assumed the character of an independent nation, a spirit of harmony, accommodation and compromise, has illustrated our councils, which will convince our enemies that they will be the dupes of a miserable delusion, if they flatter themselves with deriving any advantages from our internal divisions. It was this spirit, equally evincive of the virtue and wisdom of the American character, which made us an independent nation, and which carried us, with triumph, through the perils of a desolating war; it was this spirit, that reared the proud monument of our glory and prosperity; and it is to this same spirit that we owe the measure which is the subject of these animadversions.
When the discussion commenced, it was soon perceived that the republican members of the Eastern and Middle states were, with but few exceptions, in favor of Mr. Gregg's resolution.—Such was the fact relatively to Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; while at the same time it counted among its friends many members from the other states. These members believed that this measure would be most likely to coerce Britain into a relinquishment of her unjust conduct; they also believed, while it had this effect
on her, that so far as it operated harshly on ourselves, it would operate equally and impartially. That this would have been the case, had it gone into operation, we have no doubt.—But the representatives of the Southern and Western states thought differently. They declared that it would fall with peculiar and fatal injury on their interests—that it would be destructive to the interests of agriculture. At the same time that they avowed this conviction, they manifested no reluctance to express their indignation at the wrongs of Britain, or their readiness to avenge them. To manifest the sincerity of their professions, which was indeed indisputable, they offered to meet their political friends on lower ground, connected with a pledge that, if this should not prove efficient, they would unhesitatingly unite in the adoption of stronger measures. This address to the magnanimity of the Eastern and Middle sections of the nation was irresistible. The offer was accepted, and with it fell all local and sectional divisions. Southern, as opposed to Eastern interests, or Middle interests as opposed to both; instantly vanished, and agriculture and commerce met on that ground of common interest, on which, in truth, neither can stand without the support of the other. It will be seen by looking over the names of those who voted for the bill, that it combined in its favor a majority of the members from the states of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio; and that the only states, which have given a different vote, viz. New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Delaware, are represented by a majority of federal members; and such examination will further show, that of the minority eight only are republican, the remaining twenty-four being federal members, and systematic opponents of republican measures.
Let it not then be said the republican members of Congress are disinclined, when of one hundred and one republican votes, there are but eight dissentients. Every man, acquainted with the world, knows that to expect absolute unanimity upon any point relative to men or measures, is chimerical, where the exercise of opinion is free. Where is the religious or political denomination whose disciples agree in all things? If any surprise exist on this occasion, it ought to be at the union, instead of discordance of sentiment. Let those who contest this point, adduce an instance of any political question of equal importance carried by such a vote?
Yes, fellow citizens and fellow-republicans of America, we rejoice at the adoption of this measure. It is a pledge of union among us, and, we trust, a forerunner of a good understanding with Britain. That nation is entitled to our respect and is worthy of our esteem. We with them well. Let them be just, and the ties that unite us need not be severed. Our prospect brightens. The affairs of that nation are transferred to men, whose past lives are a pledge that they will be animated by principles of honor, of justice, and of reciprocity. Our determination to take vigorous measures, our having actually taken them, by demonstrating the sense of this nation, and proving their unabated confidence in the Executive administration of their government, whose conduct needs but examination to be approved, will, we hope, strengthen these suggestions of honorable minds, and prostrate the barriers that intervene between the friendship of the two nations. At all events, be the issue what it may, we shall have done our duty, and will feel the precious consciousness which it always inspires.
From the Benington Gazette. In 1798, Matthew Lyon, Anthony Haswell, and Republicanism , suffered "durance vile" in the dungeons of Vermont, to appease the wrath of Federalism.
In 1806, we are all republicans, and federalism fawns like a kicked spaniel.
In 1798, a democrat was "unamiable as a witch," and hunted down like the wild beast that roams over our mountain's side.
In 1806, he is "altogether lovely," and his name jingles harmony among the chosen of the "well born."
In Connecticut, federalists manage their affairs more confidentially. Their tyranny has been uniform the last eight years, and republicans know where to meet them. Persecution goes on there swimmingly; and every mirrour renders the state one age wiser, and republicans many hundreds stronger.—There, only three or four printers dare publish truth, and these do it at the peril of scourges from the nobility and judiciary scorpions. One was recently cudgelled half to death by the "well born" assassins of the pious town of Litchfield. Mr. S. Osborne, editor of " The Witness ," has
just been found guilty of a libel on the very same court who tried him for it; and is to receive sentence in August next. Mr. E. Babcock, editor of the " Mercury ," in Hartford, has been convicted for slander ing an immaculate political priest, and is fined one thousand dollars, and costs.
This mode of cramming federalism down the throats of unbelievers, was the drift of the leading powers of Vermont in 1798;—and the monster is unaltered, except in bulk; it is withered and lean as Pharaoh's kine, but every thing of equal liberty or happiness bows before its tyranny—and the preponderance of republicanism here, is our only preservation at this time, against another full sweep of federal vengeance. Recur, fellow-citizens, to the recent term of your bondage.—Did federalists then, as now, gnash their teeth at the close of every election? Did federalists then for accommodation place the name of one republican on a list of candidates for office? Did not federalists exclude all republicans from office? Did not federalists persecute, imprison, fine, lacerate, tar and feather, or frighten, with threats of inflicting these punishments, all who dared shew a dereliction from the principles of aristocracy, or refused to worship John Adams? These dark days are past—but can you forget to remember them? Now see these winning objects of commiseration—all for union —all for oblivion to past scenes, and all seeking the power that will resuscitate them. We remember the days of our sorrow. We remember those who stabbed, and smiled, and exulted, revelled, and rung our funeral knell, thro' the long night of our departed liberties. And we remember THOSE who watered the political graves of the victims of federalism with tears. Times are changed—but this Medusa-headed monster is not; its power is confined to narrow limits, but it creeps into our houses in the still watches of the night—it flatters—it smiles—it sings harmoniously—but every hair of its head is a serpent, and it will sting to death.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1806.
At the date of our last letters from Washington, remarks the Aurora , there had been no official disclosure of the contents of Mr. Monroe's dispatches to government: it is understood, however, that there existed no doubt of an early and satisfactory accommodation of differences. Our minister was treated with marked attention and respect by the new administration.
Six French line of battle ships, and some frigates, supposed from Brest, have been seen going into a Spanish port, said to be Porto Cabello:—of which information had been received by Admiral Duckworth; who was in pursuit of them.
Capt. Williamson, arrived at Philadelphia, informs, that March 22, lat. 25, long 65, he spoke the British frigate Cleopatra , Capt. White, who informed, that a French squadron, under Admiral Gantheaume, had captured the outward bound China fleet, from England.
Late accounts from St. Domingo say, the Leander was recruiting there for Miranda's expedition against the Spanish province of Carraecas.
The Grand-jury of New-York, have found bills of indictment against Samuel G. Ogden, Col. W. S. Smith, Capt. W. Armstrong, Gen. Miranda, and Capt. T. Lewis, implicated in Miranda's expedition.
Capt. Moffat, arrived at Philadelphia, informs, that an embargo was laid at Laguira, the 6th ult. on American vessels, in consequence of Miranda's expedition, fitted out of New-York.
We hear much said by the federalists in praise of Mr. Randolph's speech:—no doubt they heartily approve every thing he said about the "ability, wisdom and strength" of England, of which we as heartily disapprove; but are they really convinced that his speech was an excellent one?—If we understand any thing of the past, or the meaning of words, this same speech contains positions as much at variance with federalism as any man could possibly have taken, and if they are now adopted by the federalists, Mr. Randolph was correct in saying, he had not become a federalist but that the federalists had become republicans. Mr. Randolph maintains—
That there ought to have been no commercial treaties. That the British treaty was the foul parent of calamity to these states. That the commerce and navigation of this country are not of sufficient value to justify the expense of protection by force. The whole system of the Washington and Adams administrations was attacked by these three positions—yet
our federalists tell us—"this is an excellent speech."
Who would have thought indeed that, after all we had heard of the absolute importance of commerce, of the impossibility of its existence without adequate protection, of the necessity for ships of the line; after all the addresses from our merchants of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, praying congress to do something; who, we say, would have supposed that the federalists would applaud a speech, calculated to frustrate all they had asked for? Their inconsistency in this point is not more ridiculous than their withholding approbation from the men, who voted to do something. But, we need not wonder at the underling editors, when we look at the yeas and nays , not a federalist in congress voted to carry Mr. Nicholson's resolution into effect—all their patriotism, friendship for commerce, feelings for our impressed countrymen, vanished on taking the vote.
What do the merchant addressees say to this—or did they only want 74's, or convoys to enable them to force a trade in despite of England as they had before forced a trade in despite of France. The fact is, the feelings of half the merchants, who clamoured four months ago, about the injustice of England, were excited by personal losses or apprehensions, not by a sense of patriotism or by resentment at the insulted honor of the nation:—for one complaint against the cruel and infamous practice of impressing thousands of our seamen, there were one hundred against the detention of a single vessel. We should be glad to know if a remedy was not necessary for the injuries inflicted by British cruisers, if it was, why the federalists in or out of congress did not propose one, and why when a bill intended as a measure of redress, was brought forward they to a man opposed it. Let us hear no more, after this of the neglect or apathy of the government—let us hear no more vapouring about commerce—the encomiums upon Mr. Randolph's speech are the severest satire upon the whole course of federalism.

OH! blest religion! heavenly fair! Thy kind, thy healing power, Can sweeten pain, and soften care, And gild each gloomy hour. When dismal thoughts, and boding fears, The trembling heart invade; And all the face of nature wears An universal shade; Thy sacred dictates can assuage The tempest of the soul; And every fear shall lose its rage At thy divine controul. Thro' life's bewild'ring darksome way Thy hand unerring leads; And o'er the path thy heavenly ray A cheering lustre sheds. When feeble reason, tried and blind Sinks helpless and afraid; Thou best supporter of the mind, How powerful is thy aid! Oh! let my heart confess thy power, And find thy sweet relief; To brighten every gloomy hour, And soften every grief!

Pursuant to the directions of an act, entitled, "An act for granting a compensation to John M. Crous, for discovering and publishing a cure for the hydrophobia or canine madness," passed the 28th February, 1806,—I do hereby certify, that the said John M. Crous, hath this day deposited in this office a certain writing, purporting to be the remedy used by him with perfect success, for more than twenty years past, for the cure of the hydrophobia or canine madness—which writing is in the words and figures following, to wit:
"Cure for the Bite of the Mad Dog. "The following is an account and prescription of the remedy and cure for the hydrophobia or canine madness, made by John M. Crous, in conformity to an act of the legislature of the state of New-York, passed at their present session, viz. "1st. Take one ounce of the jaw bone of a dog, burned and pulverized, or pounded to find dust. "2dly. Take the false tongue of a newly foaled colt; let that be also dried and pulverized—and "3dly. Take one scruple of the verdigree, which is raised on the surface of old copper by laying in moist earth; the coppers of George I. or II. are the purest and best. Mix these ingredients together, and if the patient be an adult or full grown, take one common tea-spoon full a day, and so in proportion for a child according to its age. In one hour after, take the filings of the one half of a copper of the above kind, if to be had; if not, then a small increased quantity of any baser metal of the kind—this to be taken in a small quantity of water. "The next morning fasting (or before eating) repeat the same as before. This, if complied with after the biting of the dog and before symptoms of madness, will effectually prevent any appearance of the disorder; but if after the symptoms shall appear, a physician must immediately be applied to, to administer the following, viz. "Three drams of the verdigree of the kind before mentioned, mix with half an ounce of calomel, to be taken at one dose. This quantity the physician need not fear to administer, as the reaction of the venom then diffused through the whole system of the patient, neutralizes considerably the powerful quality of the medicine— "And "secondly, if in four hours thereafter the patient is not completely relieved, administer four grains of pure opium, or one hundred and twenty drops of liquid laudanum. "N. B. The patient must be careful to avoid the use of milk for several days after taking any of the foregoing medicine. "JOHN M. CROUS. "Albany, ff. John M. Crous, being duly sworn, deposeth, that the above account and prescription for the remedy and cure for the hydrophobia or canine madness, is a just and true account and prescription, and the only one used and practiced upon by himself for more than twenty years past, and which has never failed of perfect success in any instance of the vast number of unfortunate human beings who have been bitten by the mad dog, and who have applied to him, the deponent, for relief.

An excellent BARGAIN
for a good Farmer.
To be sold by the subscriber, an excellent FARM in the town of Scarborough, with the stock and farming utensils thereon.—Said farm is about six miles from the flourishing town of Portland, on the post road from Boston, and contains about 600 acres of as good land as any in the District of Maine; 400 acres of which are under improvement, the remainder in wood land, &c.—It may be divided into four good Farms; there are two brooks running, one on each side through the Farm the whole length thereof and empty into the sea; About 70 acres of salt marsh are ditched in, and with the upland will produce 3 or 400 tons of English Hay annually, and salt marsh that produces above 30 tons of salt Hay. There is a good dwelling house upon said farm two stories high, with a loft, well finished, with convenient out houses—Also, four Barns all in excellent order; one of 100 feet by 40, one of 80 by 40, two about 44 by 30, and a shed 60 by 20, with a loft for hay over it.
Liberal terms will be given for payment; inquire of the subscriber, who will be on the Farm for 8 or 10 days—but in case of his absence, apply to Mr. WILLIAM VAUGHAN, in Portland. CORNELIUS DURANT.
The inhabitants of the town of Portsmouth, are requested to notice, and observe the following Regulations, made and published agreeably to law; for the preservation of health in the town.
ALL persons having vaults overflowing, or whose contents are so near the surface of the earth as to be a nuisance, or having stagnant waters in cellars, dung in heaps, or filth in or about their yards, barns or houses, are to have such nuisances removed immediately, before the warm weather shall commence. It is the wish of the health Committee, to save trouble to such persons, and to themselves, but the cleanliness and health of the Town must be provided for, and if such nuisances are not removed within thirty days from this day, they will be removed as the law directs. And it is requested that information be given of filth left in any part of the town, such information will be thankfully received, and the way it came will be concealed.
All sinks running on the surface of the ground in the streets are to be sunk below.
No dead animal, offensive substance, or filth of any kind is to be left in any streets, lanes, alleys, or on any wharf or dock, and every person offending in this particular must expect to be prosecuted and fined.
And in regard to Quarantine—
The Health Committee have found that the health of the inhabitants has been greatly endangered, and the town has suffered much in time past, from deceit practised, and false answers given by vessels arriving at the Port, when hailed from the Fort. It was therefore thought proper and necessary in the year 1803, when Quarantine commenced, that all vessels from the West-India Islands, the Dutch and Spanish main, from the Straits of Gibraltar, and from ports within them, or from any port or place where any contagious distempers should in fact be prevalent, should, on their arrival at this port, immediately come to anchor for inspection; that the lives and health of the citizens might not be endangered by infection brought to town. The Commanding officer at Fort Constitution was to bring all such vessels to an anchor, and hoist a red flag as a signal for the Health Committee to repair on board, or send some suitable person or persons on board, for the purpose of inspection and examination.—These regulations were made and carried into execution; careful examination took place on the part of the Health Officers. In cases where no sickness had taken place during the voyage, and no infection apprehended, the vessels had permits to come directly up to the town—Where infection was found, or justly suspected to be on board, or where sickness was or had been on board, or death during the voyage, the vessels were carefully smooked and cleaned, and when sufficiently purified, permission was given them to come up to town, or go elsewhere at their pleasure. The same orders and regulations were continued, were in force and duly executed the year past, and will be continued and strictly enforced the current year; and if any master, officer, or any person on board any ship or vessel that shall arrive at this harbour, from any ports or places before mentioned, after the 15th day of May next, and before the first day of November next, shall be guilty of giving a false report when hailed at the Castle, or shall come up to the town, or suffer any of the people, or any passenger to go on shore, or shall suffer any person to go on board any such vessel, or carry or suffer any thing to be carried on shore therefrom, before being visited and inspected as aforesaid, every person so offending, shall be dealt with as the law directs.
