IN REHEARSAL,
A new grand tragical, practical, pantomimical Drama, entitled
WAR IN DISGUISE;
OR, THE YANKEE MADE ANGRY.
"Many of the characters by 'his Majesty's servants."
Summary of the Play.
ACT 1.—Scene 1.—View of the harbor of New-York. The Leader, Cambrian and Driver, British ships, firing at every American vessel attempting to enter the port. Several of them heave to, and are boarded by boats from the armed vessels. Distress of the American seamen impressed from their own shores into the British service.
Scene 2.—Pierce, an American citizen is murdered on board an American coasting vessel by a shot from the Leader. Oration of the British captain in praise of the gunner who killed him.—Music—Rule Britannia.
ACT 2. Scene 1.—The arrival of Peirce's body in New-York. Grand procession of the citizens in honor of his obsequies. Music—Dead march in Saul.—In the back ground is a huge group of old tories who interrupt the solemnities of the day by loud rejoicings, that one more rebel has fallen a victim to the holy wrath of "his sacred majesty's servants."
Scene 2.—A great crowd of people seize upon the carts loaded with provisions for the British squadron. Solemn march of the people to distribute them for the use of the poor. In the back scene a view of a gallows "fifty feet high," on which is written in black letters, "For the murderer of innocence." Music—Yankee Doodle.
ACT 3. Scene 1.—A view of Cape Henry. The British frigate Cleopatra, overhauls the ship Eliza of Baltimore, and presses from her one American, one apprentice belonging to the vessel, and fifteen passengers. Astonishing facility of the British officers in cutting unarmed men with their swords, which is much beautified by the groans of the wounded and the shrieks of the women and children bereft of their husbands and fathers.—Parting between man and wife—the sailors seize the husband and throw him into the boat, while the wife lies motionless on the deck. Meantime, the flag of the United States waves over the beach, and the pilot cries out quarter less four!
Scene 2.—Port of Norfolk. The Cleopatra enters for a supply of provisions and water—a boat is let down from the ship and seventeen British seamen go on shore. Commotion in the town. Discourse of Jonathan Fairplay to the people who seize upon the British seamen and carry them to prison, with drums and fife playing "Hail Columbia."
ACT 4. Scene 1.—A view of the altar of Liberty with the words "seventy-six" inscribed in front in letters of gold. The flame grows brighter as the shades of departed patriots, attendants upon the altar, chaunt the blessings of freemen and sing of the toils they endured, and the blood they spilled to erect the beautiful fabric. Enter a large number of Americans who vow to preserve the flame pure and unpolluted or perish in the attempt. Music—Washington's March.

Scene 2.—Wives and mothers employed in preparing arms for their husbands and children to repel the aggressors. The citizens associate in military companies. Music—Sidney Point.
Scene 3.—Inside of Norfolk Jail—the seventeen British sailors confined therein.
ACT. 5. Scene 1.—A meeting of the American Congress. The President of the United States enters and lays before the representatives of the people the state of the nation—he then retires, and Congress passes laws for embodying the citizens, fortifying our harbors, and preventing all intercourse of whatever kind with Britain and her colonies for six months. Seventeen cannon are heard without.—The deliberations are interrupted by the entrance of a famished West Indian crying for bread, and a British manufacturer begging subsistence—who on the part of their nation promise indemnity for the past, and a guarantee for future offences. An ambassador from Britain enters, leading in chains the murderer of Pierce, and followed by three thousand American seamen, released from their ships of war. The whole to conclude with a grand hymn and chorus in praise of liberty, and the curtain falls while the orchestra is playing Jefferson's March.
(Balt. Ev. Post.)
From the Philada Aurora of April 23.
THE FEDERAL PARTY.
EVERY day's experience confirms us in the belief that there exists, at the present time, an absolute necessity for the vigilance and activity of the republican party; by this party we do not mean those who are attached to the system or to the men in power because they enjoy patronage or places under them; we allude exclusively to the great body of independent freemen, who are attached to principle and who regard men no farther than they merit by good conduct. It is not to support an administration in power that the activity of the republican party is needful, nor is it to uphold any particular men that we are anxious for that activity—it is solely from regard for the principles on which the government is founded, and from an apprehension that by indifference or neglect on our part the enemies of those principles may regain the ascendancy.
A people, to be free, must be jealous of their rights; there is safety in vigilance, and at least caution can do no harm. Some may imagine, from ignorance, that there is no necessity for vigilance; others will say, from design, that there is not, and that to inculcate suspicion is to stir up discontent—but we have known what a federal party is capable of, we have felt the weight of their intolerance, we have marked the depth and intricacy of their intrigues and cunning, and we hold it to be a duty to keep pace with them in every movement that they may make to obtain the government.
If a contest, with the federal party from the very commencement of the national government—if a ready and unceasing opposition to its measures and their advocates, originated in no other wish than to put places and patronage in the hands of men professing principles opposite to federalism; then indeed, was that opposition dishonorable, and as such ought now to be abandoned. But if the hostility to federalism originated in a conviction:
That the federal party, or its leaders, aimed at a consolidated, energetic and irresponsible government, organized after the manner of that of Great Britain.
That it wished to deprive the great body of the people of any share in their own government.
That it wished to raise up a church establishment, in support of the government; and
That every other species of tyranny, hypocrisy and fraud were to be employed here as under the English monarchy:
Then do we say that opposition to federalism was glorious and honorable, and that it should be eternal, unless—the former principles and the former objects of the party were renounced and abandoned.
The question, then, is—have these principles and objects been abandoned? If we depend upon the public professions of the party, the answer will be affirmatively: love, veneration, regard and adoration, for and of the constitution are now heard almost exclusively from the party, which formerly advocated measures and doctrines destructive to its best provisions.—But, if we examine their practices and enquire into their secret professions; we must conclude, that experience has shown them the necessity for more art and hypocrisy than in former times were exercised; and that, whilst publicly they profess and appear to practice republican principles and virtues, they are still the inveterate foes of free government and equal rights. Look at the condition of Connecticut, and learn what are the doctrines taught at Yale College—in that seminary it is that the truth and the whole truth of federalism is told—here it is that the young men are tutored and confirmed in treasonable and treacherous opposition to the rights and freedom of their fellow-citizens—from its president, Dwight, we learn the actual sentiments of the federal party. If any one doubts, let him read and reflect upon the following expressions in the lectures of this high church and state gentleman:
"No government adopts measures so wise and uniform as the government of G. Britain: The power of the several branches of that government are already sufficiently limited."
"The government of Great Britain is remarkably excellent: we see the truth of this observation exemplified in the pre-eminently happy effects it produces among the people of that nation; who are better acquainted with the principles of government than the people of any other country whatever."
"The English public papers are remarkable specimens of elegance and correctness in
both in style and sentiment; but the French and American papers are in these respects truly ridiculous."
"We fall far short of the British nation, both in national information and virtue."
"With respect to the veneration the people in this country bear to the constitution, it finds into contempt when compared with the British constitution. I consider our constitution merely as wet paper."
"I have considered the general government, ever since its first establishment, in no better situation than a child tottering across a floor, for whom I was in constant anxiety lest he should fall."
"That a country possessing 10,000,000 of square miles should exist for any length of time under a government of so little efficiency as ours, is the most chimeraical idea that can be suggested—the fact is, the country cannot hang together. If you place any reliance upon the virtue or patriotism of the American people, you rest upon a broken staff. I have not even a dream that our national government can continue."
Whilst such are the principles and sentiments of federalism, let us not be told that there is either honor or safety in winking at their present progress; for progress they do make, let what will be said.
Since the year 1800, the federalists as a party bearing their own name, have not attempted opposition in any of the states south of the Hudson, except Delaware, until the present time: Even in the New-England states, they had begun to be passive spectators: how are the parties, whose states now, however.
In Rhode Island, the republicans after many struggles became predominant; while they were united the federalists were quiet; they are now divided among themselves, and the federalists have in consequence determined upon opposition, and will most probably be successful.
In New Hampshire, the republicans are predominant, but their majority is insignificant, and the first discord will place federalism again at the helm.
In Massachusetts, there is a great and well organized federal party, superior to their opponents in numbers and indefatigable in industry.
In Vermont, the republicans are so much divided as to be unable to obtain a governor from among themselves—the federalists are united and industrious.
In Connecticut, federalism rules with unbridled tyranny, boasting of the principles or maxims of government, cherished by the whole party, but concealed every where else.
Such is the situation of New-England—we hesitate not to say, that by the employment of artifice and by exciting the local prejudices of the people of these states, a very large majority may be brought to act against the very principles of our constitutions.
In New-York, New-Jersey and Pennsylvania, federalism has not dared until lately to act openly; the divisions in New-York and Pennsylvania were promoted, and increased by federal artifice, the present time is taken to reap the fruits of these labors.
There is no manner of doubt that in all the other states, the strength of federalism has decreased; but it is nevertheless true that, should what remains be brought into action, it would prove dangerous.
The republican party is not now as it was in 1798-9, struggling for the existence or maintenance of our free form of government—it is not united, compact, governed by the single impulse of patriotism, or forced into activity by the lash or the prisons of federalism—all that was sought was obtained; the great body of the people left the field of contest assured of the existence of a just order of things; they saw men, who had devoted their lives and talents to the good of their country, at the head of their affairs; and conceived federalism unworthy of further opposition: those, who had adhered to the republican party, from sinister motives, when in possession of petty offices, courted the vanquished federalists, and being gratified in the objects of their ambition or interest, no longer thought of the activity and watchfulness necessary in presence of an enemy indefatigable, revengeful and full of hopes of the future.
Now there can scarcely be said to be a national republican party—there was one in 1799, 1800—it is true there would soon be one, if it were known that there was the same necessity, and to show that there is such necessity is the duty of a republican print.
What, we ask, is it that makes the federal party at this day come forward? In the New-York federal address, patriotism and love for our republican institutions are the alleged motives, but can any one believe this to be the case—is not this profession proved to be hollow and fallacious by the whole course of federalism—if, indeed, it were true that the situation of this country is more degraded and unhappy than it was eight years past, some negative merit might be claimed by federalists; but it is not so—the state of internal and external affairs is infinitely more prosperous and safe at present, notwithstanding the unexampled condition of the world and the pecuniary difficulty and delicacy of our neutral situation. We know that the federal administration squandered millions, for which it left no equivalent but disgrace to the nation, will it be just necessary or honorable to replace such a party again in power? We know that since Mr. Jefferson's election, eighteen millions of principal of the public debt have been paid without direct or internal taxes; is this an evidence of our having made a bad exchange?
The truth is, that in the present critical situation of foreign relations, and during domestic divisions and feuds among the republicans, the federalists believe they have a most favorable opportunity for creating alarm and hostility against the republican party and the republican institutions. For these alarms let the republican party be prepared—what is now attempted in New-York will soon be attempted in Pennsylvania, and if the attempts shall be successful in these states they may not the general government be again at the mercy of a party inveterate in their hostility to every thing republican and anxious to revenge a six-years course of defeat and humiliation.
It is mentioned in one of the late London papers, that the Duke of Sussex (the 6th son of George III.) will go out Governor-General of Jamaica.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, APRIL 22. BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS. APRIL 21, 1806.
MR. Secretary Fox, brought down the following Message from the King, on the subject of the relations of this country with Prussia:
"GEORGE R. His Majesty thinks it proper to acquaint the House of Commons, that he has found himself under the necessity of withdrawing his Minister from the Court of Berlin, and of adopting provisionally measures of just retaliation against the commerce and navigation of Prussia. His Majesty deeply regrets this extension and aggravation of calamities already so severely felt by the nations of the Continent, whose independence and prosperity he has never ceased to consider as intimately connected with those of his own people. But measures of direct hostility, deliberately adopted against him, have left him no alternative."
"In a moment of confidential intercourse, without even the pretence of any cause of complaint, forcible possession has been taken by Prussia of his Majesty's Electoral Dominions. Deeply as this event affected the interests of this Kingdom, his majesty chose, nevertheless, to forbear, on this painful occasion, all recourse to the tried and affectionate attachment of his British subjects. He remonstrated, by amicable negotiation, against the injury he had sustained, and rested his claim for reparation on the moderation of his conduct, on the justice of his representations, and on the common interest which Prussia herself must ultimately feel, to resist a system destructive of the security of all legitimate possession. But when, instead of receiving assurances conformable to this just expectation, his Majesty was informed, that the determination had been taken of excluding by force the vessels and the commodities of this kingdom from ports and countries under the lawful dominion or forcible control of Prussia, his Majesty could no longer delay to act, without neglecting the first duty which he owes to his People. The dignity of his Crown and the interests of his subjects equally forbid his acquiescing in this open and unprovoked aggression. He has no doubt of the full support of his Parliament in vindicating the honor of the British flag, and the freedom of the British navigation, and he will look with anxious expectation to that moment when a more dignified and enlightened policy, on the part of Prussia, shall remove every impediment to the renewal of Peace and Friendship with a Power with whom his Majesty has no other cause of difference than that now created by these hostile acts. "G R"
On motion of Mr. Fox, the Message was ordered to be taken into consideration tomorrow. The papers, five in number, on the subject, were delivered in, and ordered to be printed.
APRIL 26, 1806. The late proposals for Peace, from France, have been found inadmissible; and the Notes between the two Courts will shortly be laid before Parliament.
AN EXPEDITION Is preparing for the continent, to consist of 12,000 men; to be commanded by Lord Cathcart.—It is destined to co-operate with the Swedes.
APRIL 28, 1806. The Paris Monitor states, that Hanover, notwithstanding the assertions of the King of Prussia, is not definitely annexed to Prussia. France has demanded of Austria, the quiet possession of Dalmatia; which is partly occupied by Russians.—And to give force to her demand, she has ordered her troops to occupy Brannau, which commands the Inn; has ordered her army to resume its position, and the Austrian prisoners, who were on their way home to be stopped until farther orders.
A numerous Russian army is approaching Prussia. The blockade of the Northern ports ordered by our Government, has occasioned the utmost consternation.
A French squadron, composed of the Eole, 74 guns; Majestie 74; Impetueux 74; Foudroyant 74; Vestrus 74; Castor 74; Valenciennois 44; under Admiral Guillaume, and Jerome Bonaparte, was spoken Feb. 4 in lat. 15, lon. 18, 10, St. Helena, E. 130 leagues.
BY THE MAILS.
DOYLESTOWN, (PEN.) MAY 19. Caution to Parents.—On the 22d of April, died in Chester county, a son of Mr. John Fell, aged between 4 and 5 years, in consequence of swallowing an old Jersey copper, which had laid in his stomach for thirteen months. The child often puked when taking his food, his feet and legs swelled frequently, and his body at length swelled to such a degree, that the skin cracked in several places, and a yellowish water issued therefrom. Medical assistance proved ineffectual, and the little sufferer was called home.
This, and many other instances, should certainly excite parents and nurses to keep improper play-things out of the reach of children.
NEW-YORK, MAY 28. A letter from Trinidad, of the 2d inst. per the Liberty, arrived yesterday, states, that a dispatch boat had arrived there from the Gulph of Paris. Official contents not known—but report said that MIRANDA had landed on the Main, and reached Cumana. A New-York brig was waiting for the official contents.
A letter from the town of Washington, Mississippi, dated the 8th February, says, that a party of 500 Spanish horse had arrived to reinforce the post on this side the Sabine; that a severe engagement had taken place between them and Captain Potter, and that the Spaniards had been routed.
Capt. Brown, from La Vera Cruz, informs, that that town and St. Juan de Ulua, were very strongly fortified, and well garrisoned; and the inhabitants were under no apprehensions from an enemy. A severe earthquake was felt at Vera Cruz about the middle of April; and it was said that a church in Puebla, in the interior, about 90 miles from Vera Cruz, was razed to the ground, and out of 4100 people who were in it at the time, 500 were buried in the ruins. It was perfectly healthy at Vera Cruz.
Newport, May 22.
Arrived at this port on the 11th inst. in five days from Charleston (S. C.) the sloop Rolla, Capt. Whitredge.—On the 7th inst. the Rolla was fired upon and boarded in the latitude of 35. 9. longitude 75. 41, by an officer belonging to the British frigate Cleopatra, Capt. White, of 44 guns—who after treating Capt. Whitredge with every mark of contempt and extreme insolence, demanded a sight of his papers; and not content with viewing them, made him produce his letters, and broke open those addressed as follows, viz. Messrs. Bowen & Ennis, Merchants, Newport; Messrs. Gardner & Dean, Merchants, Newport, Hon. Samuel Topey, Berkeley Massachusetts, Mr. George D. Wolfe, Bristol Rhode Island. After having perused these, the evening being far advanced, he impressed the cook named Nathan Wampe, an Indian, (an apprentice to Michael Winlow, of Rochester, Massachusetts,) and then suffered Capt. W. to proceed; in this manner is the American flag violated in its rights, and plundered of its citizens. (Mercury.)
On the 17th inst. the coasting schooner Susan and William, captain A. Luce, bound from Boston to Baltimore, was boarded by "his majesty's" frigate Cleopatra, and Thomas White, belonging to Portsmouth, N. H. was violently impressed and carried off to "serve the king." At the time this outrage was committed, the land was in sight, Cape Henry bearing North, distant 25 miles.
RUTLAND, (Vt.) May 10. SUICIDE.
Among the many instances of Suicide, which we are frequently recording, we have heard of none so extraordinary, and so affecting as the following, which happened in Middletown, in this county, the last week.
A young man by the name of Lemuel Stoddard, of that town had paid his constant addresses to a young girl, whose parents were neighbors, for a considerable time, till at length matrimony was mutually agreed to; consent of parents was given, and the day was fixed, when the young votaries were to be united in marriage. But here, we must record the doleful tale—The day arrived, when their parents and their friends expected to witness a pleasant scene. But a trivial excuse was made for the delay. In the evening the young man paid his female friend a final visit, at her father's house—when and where he related to her that he had for some time been suspicious that her attachment to him was indifferent, that her chastity was not inviolate, and that a friend of his had now convinced him that his suspicions were not groundless. He continued to observe, that as nothing could dissuade him from the opinion he had formed, and that if he should marry her he should be miserable, and his attachment to her was still so fixed that he could not live happy without her. What next—Suicide, he thought was the only alternative!—He proposed that he should depart with him, intimating that a far better world would receive them, where these spirits would dwell together in the same bonds of affection, which would distinguish them here. The young man then said he had procured laudanum sufficient to effect what he had proposed, and handing the credulous female a phial and taking one himself, both swallowed the dose! But the girl sickened and a discharge from the stomach saved her from a dreadful end—The sleep of her anticipated companion was eternal. He died about one o'clock in the afternoon, of the day following.—Mr. Stoddard was about 20 years of age. The foregoing particulars are as near as possible, the substance of what our informant related, and which he says was mostly from the mouth of the surviving female, whom, it is thought is innocent, as to the charges, which the deceased alleged against her.
Saco, (Maine) May 28.
FIRE!—Thursday last was the most melancholy day the inhabitants of Saco ever witnessed.—Between the hours of eleven and twelve A. M. the town was alarmed with the cry of Fire! which in a short time consumed the houses of Messrs. Israel & Moses Pike, and Mr. David Warren. It originated in a boat builder's shop occupied by Mr. I. Pike and Sons, communicated in a few moments to the two buildings adjoining; and but for the providential shifting of the wind before the flames had attained their height, all human aid would have failed to save the chief part of the village. The wind blew a fresh breeze from South East, scattered the burning coals in showers, for a considerable distance, and lighted new fires in many places, which however the activity of the citizens extinguished.
The Editor of the Repertory has commenced a series of Numbers, the first of which is very elaborate, and in which the understandings of the citizens of the United States have been grossly insulted and abused; they have been represented as tributaries, and the vilest of slaves! The English were extolled, and native Americans deprecated; they were represented as forming the only barrier to French tyranny and oppression; even their insolent and outrageous conduct towards our defenceless commerce is applauded.—The Executive of the United States is represented as the worst of cowards, and as betraying national honour to the depth of disgrace and ignominy. (Enqr.)
Boston, May 31.
Massachusetts Election.
Wednesday being the constitutional period for convening the General Court of this Commonwealth, for the year ensuing, the gentlemen elected for Senators and Representatives assembled at the State House in this town. His Excellency the Governor, and the Honorable Council attended, when the oaths were administered agreeably to the Constitution.
The Honorable Senate proceeded to the choice of their Clerk; after counting and sorting the votes, it appeared the whole number was 39, of which JOHN D. DUNBAR, Esq. had 20, and was chosen. They then proceeded to the choice of President, when upon counting and sorting the votes, it appeared the whole number was 38; the Hon. JOHN BACON, Esq. had 19, the Hon. H. G. OIS, 18, and 2 seat. There was of course no choice. The trial was repeated four times, which produced the same result. A motion was then made in the following words, "that the senior member of the Senate be, and he hereby is, authorized to discharge the duties of President of the Senate, until a President shall be elected." the Hon. Mr. Maynard rose and made a motion which was previous in its nature, that the Senate be adjourned to 4 o'clock, which was carried.
The house proceeded, as usual, to the choice of a Clerk, when upon counting the votes it appeared the whole number was 46, of which Mr. Charles P. Sumner had 25, Nicholas Tillinghast, Esq. had 26, scattering 3. Mr. Sumner was then sworn into office.
They then proceeded to the choice of Speaker, when upon counting and sorting the votes, it appeared the whole number was 46, of which Perez Morton, Esq. had 25, Timothy Bigelow, Esq. had 20, scattering 2. In the House of Representatives on Friday, a motion was made and seconded to provide seats for the Senate while being put and declared in favor, was doubted; the Speaker requested the gentlemen in favor to rise, and he declared in favor; it was again doubted, when the Speaker called for a return of the House, and 225 appeared for, and 131 against providing seats for the Senate—the Senate soon after came in—the Speaker complimented the presiding officer, the Hon. John Bacon, who took the Chair, and the House and Senate in convention, agreeable to the Constitution, proceeded to the choice of a Senator to fill the vacancy in the county of York. The candidates were, Joseph Storer, Esq. Republican, and Joseph Leland, Esq. Federal. The whole number of votes were 486—Joseph Storer, Esq. had 278, and was chosen—the federal candidate 208. The Senate then reured, and the Speaker assuming the Chair, the House proceeded to the reading some petitions of a local nature until the usual hour of adjournment.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1806.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By arrivals in Boston and New-York, our London dates are brought down to the 29th April. Many dates latest.
They furnish nothing of a pacific aspect. The British Fox-administration appeared determined to prosecute the war with redoubled vigor & increased means. Their language was spirited, their measures prompt, and unopposed. The message on the subject of Prussia, was followed by a very able Protest; and a high toned speech from Mr. Fox, in the Commons. The address in answer to the message was carried unanimously.
The prospect of renewed war between France and Austria—and involving Russia—increased.
The late measures adopted by France, Prussia, and England, respecting the commerce with the northern ports, had given a severe check to the trade of neutrals in that quarter. Great numbers of Americans, and other neutrals, bound to blockaded and other ports, had been detained and sent into England.
There can be no stronger proof of the fitness of the decided measures adopted by the last congress in regard to Great Britain, than the consequences they are found to produce. They are such as the friends of this policy had predicted. The late accounts from London, down to the 19th March, assert that the decided step which we have taken, has produced a very considerable impression upon the administration and people of G. Britain.
We ask no stronger proof of this sensation than the mission of Lord Selkirk. He is the first minister extraordinary that the British cabinet have ever sent to this country. This fact is at once a proof of the anxiety of G. Britain to have her differences with us quickly and amicably settled, and it is an earnest of the success of the negotiation. (Enquirer.)
We hear that in consequence of pleasing intelligence from the Mediterranean of peace and harmony prevailing between the Barbary powers and the United States, the Chesapeake will not be sent out. She will probably be ordered to protect our commerce from the insulting depredations of piratical cruisers, and proud oppressors. (Wash. Fed.)
Capt. WHITBY, of the British ship of war Leander, we are informed, was arrested on his arrival at Halifax, by Capt. Beresford, commanding officer of that station, in consequence of his exceptional conduct while off Sandy Hook. (New-York paper.)

THE General Court will convene at Hopkinton to-morrow. Among other important legislative business which will come under their consideration, is a bill, postponed at their last session, for disfranchising the State for the choice of Representatives to Congress. The Federalists have accused the Republicans of inconsistency and want of principle, in opposing (now in power) a measure, they ardently advocated when the Federalists held the reins.
It is said there will be no Legislative caucusing the present session—The Republican cause stands on such firm ground, that the People may be safely trusted with the selection of proper candidates for office, without other guidance or influence than their own judgment. Legislative caucusing has been always opposed, but defended on the principle of necessity; if that necessity no longer exists, the dangerous and alarming practice will be laid aside.
Accounts from the country say that the Hon. SAMUEL BELL, present speaker of the House of Representatives, will be the candidate for Senator in the Congress of the U. States, in the room of Mr. PLUMER, whose time expires next March.
Republican Triumph! We congratulate the friends of human liberty throughout the universe on the happy change which has taken place in the political standing of Massachusetts. Of the Senate, which is composed of forty members) twenty-one are Republicans: In the House of Representatives the friends to our Democratic union preponderate by a majority from fifty to seventy. The Council will most undoubtedly be composed of worthies who were active during our revolutionary contest with Great-Britain, and who have evinced no dereliction from first principles. The Lieutenant Governor is said to be the senior officer now living, who led the Continentals to battle; and the probability is in favor of a Republican Chief Magistrate. The cause of truth must eventually triumph, where a people are enlightened and virtuous.
We understand that gun-boat No. 11, will be armed with two long 24 pound iron cannon, and two 5 1-2 inch brass howitzers. No. 12, with two long 24 pound iron cannon, and two 24 pound brass cannonades. The Etna with one 13 inch iron mortar, weighing upwards of five tons—two 8 inch brass howitzers, and eight long 9 pounders.—The Vesuvius with one 13 inch iron mortar, weighing upwards of five tons; two 24 pound cannonades, and eight long 9 pounders. These vessels have been built, and are now equipping under the superintendence of Commodore Preble. (Continued.)
We learn that with a view to prevent the landing of persons from the parts of St. Domingo in the possession of the blacks the captain general of Martinique has framed regulations, which make it necessary that the place of birth of every person of colour arriving there should be fully proved, and that, if natives of the United States and not speaking French, they will be considered in the ordinary class of seamen; if they, though such natives, speak French, they must be kept on board the vessel under the responsibility of the captain. Should they prove to be French, they will be committed to prison, but returned on the sailing of the vessel, if there be found no room to suspect that they came to Martinique with dangerous intentions. (Nat. Int.)
The iron manufactory at Carron, in Scotland, is the greatest perhaps of the kind in the world. The weekly consumption of coals amounts to 11,000 tons at 4 shillings per ton, and the consumption of each day is equal to that of the city of Edinburgh, for a week. As many coals, therefore, are consumed in the Carron Foundry, as would suffice to supply a city of 700,000 inhabitants. One thousand workmen are daily employed in the manufactory, whose wages amount to 700l. a week, and 36,400l. per annum.

From the evening Fire-sides.
MEDITATION.
Now on the western deep reposing, Retiring Phoebus smiles serene, And round, the shades of evening closing, In twilight veil the fading scene. Hail meditation, pure and holy! In all thy sober charms appear, With eye of pensive melancholy, Fix'd musing on the vacant air: Reclined beneath this frowning mountain, Which shades the vale in deeper gloom, While list'ning to the babbling fountain, To guide my flights of fancy—come. Mute silence now o'er all is reigning, Save where the sighing zephyrs breathe, Save where the solemn owl complaining, Awakes the sleeping grove beneath: Save where the wildly rushing torrent, Impetuous laves the mountains side, Save where the gently rolling current, Soft murm'ring thro' the valley glides. The ev'ning bell at distance tolling, Now faintly sounds upon my ear, It bids me think how swift are rolling, Frail life's uncertain moment's here. While list'ning to the Ocean's surges, That gently undulating flow, I mark where Cynthia just emerges, Majestic on the mountain's brow. Then turn and see the starry splendor That glitters in the vaulted sky, A twinkling ray may often render A guiding light to wisdom's eye. And soon from these, to objects higher, Wild fancy leads my raptur'd soul; She seems to soar on wings of fire, Thro' nature's vast revolving whole. Nor these the bounds of meditation, Still fancy takes a bolder flight, And finds new scenes for contemplation, In yet a more exalted height: She seeks to know the God of nature, Great source of this amazing plan, Whose wisdom and whose power are greater Than thought can reach, or season scan. It is for this, Oh heavenly mentor! That here I oft commune with thee: Oh! teach me every thought to centre, On God, and on Eternity. ALPIN.
Cloze Shaving!
A barber once asking an old misanthro- pical quiz, what could be the reason that women had no beard? Lend me the pen," said surly, "and I will write it you down." Nature, though prompt her beauty to bestow, On woman's face ordain'd no beard to grow; For, talking still forever and for aye, He who should shave would slice their chins away.
