BRITISH ROBBERY!
WHEN I consider the disagreeable circumstances into which the United States would be thrown in hazarding a quarrel with Britain, I am almost loath to speak the truth—from speaking what every citizen of this country ought to be acquainted with, viz. the robberies committed on the high seas by Great Britain towards the United States!! This, with the insolent manner in which they treat our masters of vessels, is enough to make every citizen's blood boil with indignation. Can any man hear of his fellow citizen being pressed to serve on board a British man of war, without feeling the severest sorrow?—and in our own bays too! Why don't they at once seize upon vestel and cargo , as well as the poor mariners who man them? Because by so doing they would lay themselves open to Europe, and the whole world, and would be justly contemptible to all nations. O God! where is the justice of man fled? Where is that true spirit that once joined every man to his fellow creature! O Americans! where is that patriotic spirit flown that ruled in '76? Where is that truly valiant spirit flown that was so laudably displayed, (against the same people) at the battle of Brandywine? Say it was lulled into oblivion in the years '97, '98, '99 or part of 1800!—That things may mend is the sincere wish of justice .

LOUISIANA—A Calculation.
Messrs PRINTERS, AS some of my neighbours were questioning the other evening at my house, whether Louisiana was worth to us the money we gave for it, I took up my pen after they were gone to make some calculation on the subject, and send you the result for the speculation of your readers.
Louisiana is said to contain at least four hundred thousand square miles, or 256 millions of acres. Allowing this land to be sold by Congress at half a dollar an acre, exclusive of expenses, (and much of it would bring several dollars an acre) the amount would be one hundred and twenty-five millions of dollars—a sum more than sufficient to pay all the expense of negotiation for Louisiana—the price we are to give for it—and to discharge all our national debt besides!—And Congress would still have left the right of governing the country, which is all our government wants.—Now, says I to myself, I think this is no bad years work for the President—and what makes it still better, that is, that the produce of the duties at the single port of New Orleans alone, will in a few years of itself discharge the whole sum given for the territory.—If any one thinks my calculation too favorable, let him take his pen or pencil and make a better.
A friend to his Country.
The western waters have sometimes witnessed the arrival of fifty pieces of heavy artillery and twenty thousand stands of arms, at different positions at and above Fort Adams in our south western angle, they are all of American manufacture . They were ordered thither in consequence of the misconduct of the Spanish intendant at New Orleans. This important and sudden addition to the artillery and arms, placed there by our former administrations, is a proof that our present administration is determined to increase the strength of our reasonings in favor of our Mississippi rights. The arms were ordered while our diplomatic arguments were transmitting for consideration in Europe.

TEE REPROVER, No. I.
THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY are grieved to see men outwardly professing themselves Republicans, and attached to our government and its present administrators, secretly aiding their decided enemies. That such things are indeed no matter of wonder: For such characters have always existed in society, and have ever proved to be the most mischievous. What
I have at present in view, is to reprove the remissness and inattention of too many, who are real Friends to our country and government. Should this remissness and inattention continue, it will increase, where deceitful workmen are indefatigably industrious in their machinations to excite in the minds of Citizens prejudices against our Constitution and Government, and against their real Friends. Men, under the pretences of regard and affection to Republicanism, are now busily employed in opposing its principles, and traducing the characters of its faithful adherents in their essays on political subjects; in which they represent a Democratical Government, such as is that of the United States, as subversive of Liberty, as destructive to our Country. They assert, and pretend to prove from ancient history, that the principle of Democratical Government is subversive of order, destructive of virtue, and tending to anarchy and tyranny;—That such was its effects in Athens and Rome, and such must be its effects in this country, unless the sword of civil war is drawn to revolutionize our government. The instances they produce, can by no means apply to our Democracy, as has been clearly evidenced by some of our best writers. As to what they say of tumults and popular madness, it is equally applicable to every form of Government, where wicked men have prevailed. The virtue of the People must be the strength and support of the government; and this is in fact the case in that of the United States. The virtue of the People formed the Constitution, and maintains its principles—and in proportion to the prevalency of Democratical principles, has always been the peace, security and happiness of a nation in any age of the world. Seditions, tumults, and civil wars were never found to arise from the principles of Democratical Government, but from Constitutional defects. This truth has been so clearly illustrated to the public, that I cannot but wonder at the effrontery of the writers against Democracy in continuing to impose upon us with their absurdities, and at the folly of some men in reading and conversing upon them with such a degree of complacency as they discover. If relaxity of morals prevails, and consequent remissness and inattention, the best formed government will degenerate, and the happiest of civil societies, become numbered with the most wretched.
No II.
THE FEDERALISTS think we use them very ill in not submitting ourselves to them for our instructors in the principles of Liberty and civil Government—or, in other words, that the Free-born sons of America, after all the amazing pains they have taken with them to save them from their worst enemies themselves , will not submit to be ruled by their wisdom, nor tremble at the terror of their frowns. Here is a grand mistake on one side or the other, either the Republicans, or self-styled Federalists of our country know not themselves, and are ignorant of the nature of mankind. Republicans believe mankind to have a divine right to think and act for themselves; The others imagine that there are but few of the human race capable of rationality and self-government; and so obstinate are they in their opinion, that plain facts against it can have no effect upon them. They speak and write with the same spirit of opposition to truths and realities, as though no important truths and realities had been manifested, or drawn the attention of mankind. Nothing, in short, can be true lovely and praiseworthy with them, but what serves to advance them over their fellow-creatures, and render them masters of the minds and fortunes of the People. Some of them pretend to great candor and zeal for truth, while all their aim is to pervert it. Truth might for ever lie hid in darkness, for what they care. Were they disposed, as they pretend, to receive truth, or lay open to conviction, the grandest evidences of political truth are daily before their eyes. But it is much with them as it was with the honest Quaker, who replied to his neighbour, I see thee, but I do not like thee . The best thing these men can do now, is to settle all their affairs, leave this Land of light
and Liberty, and go over to the countries where principles and sentiments prevail more congenial with their own. For, whatever might happen to them in those regions, here they are not likely to attain to the things after which they aspire.
It has been strongly insinuated, by some shrewd persons, that Republicanism is fast growing into contempt—The eyes of the People, they say, are opening to see the rock on which they are splitting, and the fearful ruin which impends over their heads. Those who only read the papers opposed to our government, are imposed on by the indefatigable promoters of mischief. Let them look into the other papers, and learn to distinguish truth from error, and they will see worthy the nature they have received from Deity, and as becomes Citizens of America.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, JULY 14.
IN twenty-four hour after the arrival of the courier who was the bearer of the convention of Sublingen, relative to the army of the king of England in Hanover, the first consular act was to be sent to the English government, in order to know whether his Britannic majesty was willing to ratify it.
Citizen Talleyrand, minister for foreign relations, consequently wrote the following letter to lord Hawkesbury:—
Letter from the minister of foreign affairs to lord Hawkesbury.
Paris, May 10, 1803.
"My Lord,
After a slight engagement with the troops of his Britannic majesty, the French army occupies the territory of Hanover.
"The first consular having only in view to obtain some pledge for the evacuation of Malta, and to endeavour to accomplish the execution of the treaty of Amiens, has not been disposed to make his Britannic majesty's subjects experience all the rigors of war. Nevertheless, the first consular cannot ratify the convention concluded between the French army and that of his majesty, of which I have the honor to subjoin a copy, but in as far as it shall be in like manner ratified by his Britannic majesty; and in this case I have it expressly in charge from the first consular, to declare that it is his intention that the army of the king of England in Hanover, should, in the first instance be exchanged against all the sailors or soldiers which his majesty's ships may or shall have made prisoners.
"The first consular would see with pain, that his Britannic majesty, in refusing to ratify the said convention, should oblige the French government to treat the country of Hanover with all the rigors of war, and as a country which, left to itself, and abandoned by its sovereign, would find itself conquered without a capitulation, and left to the discretion of the occupying power.
"I shall anxiously expect, my lord, your communication of the intentions of his Britannic majesty.
"Receive, my lord, the assurance of my highest consideration.
(Signed)
CH. MAU. TALLEYRAND."
[Here follows a copy of the Convention.] General Mortier at the same time received orders to acquaint the general of the king of England's army in Hanover, that the First Consul would make no difficulty of ratifying the convention of Sublingen, as soon as his Britannic majesty himself should have ratified it. There is not a single sensible man in Europe who could for a moment have doubted the ratification of the king of England.
The receipt of the following answer from Ld. Hawkesbury, therefore, excited the greatest astonishment.
Answer of Lord Hawkesbury to the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
"Downing Street, June 15, 1803.
"SIR,
"I have laid your letter of the 10th inst. before the king.
"I have his majesty's orders to inform you, that as he has always considered the character of elector of Hanover as distinct from his character of king of the united kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland he cannot consent

to acquiesce in an act which might sanction the idea that he is justly susceptible of being attacked in one capacity for the conduct he may think it his duty to adopt in the other. It is not now that this principle has for the first time, been advanced. It has been recognized by several powers of Europe, and more particularly by the French government which, in '95, in consequence of his majesty's accession to the treaty of Basse, recognized his neutrality in his capacity of elector of Hanover, at the moment when it was at war with him in his quality of king of Great Britain. This principle has besides been confirmed by the conduct of his majesty in reference to the treaty of Luneville, and by the arrangements which have lately taken place relative to the Germanic indemnities, whose object must have been, to provide for the independence of the empire, and which have been solemnly guaranteed by the principal powers of Europe, but in which his majesty took no part as king of Great Britain.
"In these circumstances, his majesty in his character of elector of Hanover, is resolved to appeal to the empire, and the powers of Europe, who have guaranteed the Germanic constitution, and consequently, his rights and possessions in quality of prince of that empire.
"In the mean time, until his majesty shall be informed of their sentiments he has commanded me to state that in his character of elector of Hanover, he will scrupulously abstain from every act which can be considered as contravening the stipulations contained in the convention which was concluded on the 3d of June, between the deputies appointed by the regency of Hanover, and the French government.
"I beg your acceptance of the assurance, of the high consideration with which I have the honor to be, sir your most humble and obedient servant. (Signed.) HAWKESBURY.
General Mortier was then informed that in consequence of the refusal of the ratification on the part of the king of England, the convention of Sublingen was considered as null.
Copy of a letter written by lieutenant general Mortier to Marshal Count Walmoden, dated Luneburg, June 30.
"I have the honour to inform your excellency that the first consuls would have approved in its entire contents the convention of Sublingen, had the king of England himself consented to ratify it. It is therefore with pain I have to acquaint you that Ld. Hawkesbury has informed citizen Talleyrand that his Britannic majesty formally refused that ratification.
"Your excellency well recollects, that in 1757, a similar convention was concluded at Kloster Seven, between M. de Richelieu and the duke of Cumberland, and that the king of England not being disposed to adhere to it, gave orders to his army to recommence hostilities.
"It is to avoid a renewal of the scenes which took place that my government charges me to inform your excellency, that the refusal of his Britannic majesty annuls the convention of Sublingen.
"It is evident, M. Marshall, that England unworthily sacrifices your troops, whose bravery is known to all Europe; but it is no less known that any plan of defence on your part would be illusory, and could only draw down new calamities upon your country.
"I have empowered general Berthier chief of the general staff, to communicate to you my proposals. I must insist that your excellency will have the goodness to give me a categorical answer in the space of twenty-four hours. The army which I have the honour to command is ready, and waits only for the signal to action. I entreat your excellency to believe me to be, with the most distinguished consideration.
(Signed) "ED. MORTIER.
Letter from Gen. Mortier to the first consul. "Head-quarters, at Luneburg, July 6.
"Citizen First Consul. "On the 30th ult. I wrote to Marshal de Walmoden a letter, of which a copy is hereto subjoined. Baron de Bock, colonel in the regiment of guards, waited on me, on his part the following morning.—He told me that the proposal of making his army lay down their arms, for the purpose of being conducted prisoners into France, was of a nature so humiliating, that all of them would rather perish with arms in their hands; that they had made a sufficient sacrifice for their country, by the capitulation of Sublingen, that it was now time to do something for their own honor, that their officers and their army were reduced to despair. M. de Bock then represented to me the extreme fidelity with which the Hanoverians had scrupulously executed all the articles of the convention of Sublingen, which concerned them; that their conduct in regard to us was exempt from all reproach, and ought by no means to
draw upon them the misfortunes with which I menaced them. I, on my side, recriminated on the perfidy of the king of England, who had refused to ratify the convention of the 3d of June; that it was the Machiavellian policy of England alone that they had to accuse, and it was manifest that government would sacrifice them as it had always sacrificed its friends on the continent.
M. de Bock is a man full of honor and generosity. He said that if I could make admissible propositions, such as that of sending home a part of the army for six months in rotation, & keeping up a body of 5 or 6000 men in the Launenburgh, that he conceived the marshal might enter into an arrangement with me. My answer was in the negative, and we parted. I had already my every disposition for passing the river. A number of boats had collected in the Elbe and the Elmenau furnished me with abundant means. The enemy occupied a position between Stiknetz and Bille.
"The general="" data-bbox="274 220 440 296">The general attack was to have taken place on the night of the 4th. The enemy had got some artillery of a large calibre at Hatzburg, and with this they mounted all the batteries on the Elbe. I had on my side erected counter batteries; my troops were well disposed, and every thing announced a fortunate issue, when M. de Walmoden communicated the following propositions.
"Citizen First Consul, the Hanoverian army were reduced to despair, they implored your clemency. I thought, that, abandoned by their king, you would treat them with kindness. In the middle of the Elbe I concluded the annexed capitulation with general Walmoden. He signed it with bitterness of heart: you will there see that his army lays down their arms; that his cavalry are to be dismounted, and to put into our hands nearly 4000 excellent horses. The soldiers returning to their homes will devote themselves to the labours of agriculture, and need gives us no kind of uneasiness. They will be no longer under the orders of England.
"Health and profound respect. (Signed) E. MORTIER.
"P. S. It would be difficult to describe to you the situation of the fine regiment of the king of England's guards, at the moment of their dismounting."
"The King of England having refused to ratify the Convention of Sublingen, the first consul has been obliged to consider that convention as null. In consequence thereof lieutenant general Mortier, commander in chief of the French army, and his excellency count de Walmoden, commander in chief of the Hanoverian army, have agreed to the following capitulation, which shall be immediately executed, without being of a nature to be submitted to the ratification of the two governments.
Article I. The Hanoverian army shall lay down its arms; they shall be given up, with all the artillery, to the French army.
II. All the horses of the Hanoverian cavalry and artillery shall be given up to the French army, by one of the members of the states. A commissioner appointed by the commander in chief to that effect, shall be instantly sent to take an account of their state and number.
III. The Hanoverian army shall be disbanded; the troops shall pass the Elbe, and withdraw to their respective homes. They shall previously give their parole not to carry arms against France and her allies until after having been exchanged for those of equal rank by as many French military as may be taken by the English in the course of the present war.
IV. The Hanoverian generals and officers shall retire upon their parole to the places which they may choose for their abode, provided they do not depart from the continent. They shall keep their swords, and take away with them their horses, effects and baggage.
V. There shall be given to the commander in chief of the French army, with the least possible delay, a nominal list of all the individuals of whom the Hanoverian army is composed.
VI. The Hanoverian soldiers sent to their respective homes shall not be allowed to wear their uniforms.
VII. They shall be provided with subsistence until their return home, and forage shall also be granted to the horses of the officers.
VIII. The 16th and 17th articles of the convention of Sublingen shall be applicable to the Hanoverian army.
IX. The French troops shall immediately occupy that part of the electorate of Hanover situated in the county of Luneburg.
Signed, by duplicate, on the Elbe, this 5th of July, the 11th year of the French republic.
Lieutenant, Gen. commander of the French Army, ED. MORTIER. Marshal Count DE WALMODEN.

Insurrection in Dublin. DUBLIN, JULY 25.
On Saturday evening last, government having had intimation that a depot of pikes and other engines of destruction, had been made by a newly organized horde of insurgents in the vicinity of Bridgefoot-street, a detachment of cavalry had been ordered by gen. Dunn from the barracks, which were joined by a company of yeomen infantry, part of the Liberty Rangers, now under the command of the Earl of Meath; having arrived at the spot where their instructions directed them, after a skirmish of a few minutes with the populace, in which a few lives were lost, a great number of pikes were found, also several combustibles, parcels of nails, fragments of iron, glass, compot clay, oakum and other materials.
With these were discovered a number of deal balk, in pieces of various lengths, from 7 to 15 feet in length, with a circular cavity in each, of about three inches diameter, filled with gunpowder, to each aperture was applied a wooden plug, with a handle and vent hole, or receptacle for a fuze, appearing on the upper surface of the timber about the middle: This machine was supposed to have been intended to aid the projected operations of setting fire to Dublin Barracks. Several kegs of powder were discovered, with parcels made of four musket balls in each, and a tin tube of about two inches long, through which fire was designed to have been communicated to whatever vehicle was contrived to discharge them.
A suit of green uniform, with gold epaulets and a splendid embroidery was also found and several papers, by which the train of operations fixed by these deluded people, was discovered, and will doubtless be prevented. Among the melancholly disasters of the night, might be reckoned the murder of Lord Kilwardin, Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, and the Rev. Arthur Wolfe, his nephew, who accompanied him with the Ladies of his Lordship's family, in a carriage, to town.
Copy of a letter dated Sunday, 11 o'clock.
"At an early hour yesterday evening, a variety of inflammatory proclamations were distributed in every part of the town, calling on people to unite, as before, in opposition to English oppression, &c. and at so early an hour as 8 o'clock, a large party forced into the Lord Mayor's, and seized all the arms and pikes which were in the house, and about 10 o'clock a general engagement took place in the neighborhood of James street, Thomas street and in every other part of the liberty."
"Col. Brown, of the 21st. and a few more officers, and several of the soldiery and yeomen, have unfortunately been killed, together with a great number who appear of the very lowest order.—But what is the most alarming, is that their plots have been carried on with such secrecy that they are not yet discovered, notwithstanding several prisoners were taken. Mr. Clark, of Palmerston, cotton manufacturer, was shot on Arran Quay, at 8 o'clock in the evening; and it appears there were several parties collecting in different parts of the town at a very early hour. There are several gallows erected in different parts of the town, and executions are expected, as there are about 100 prisoners taken. They do not seem to have any leaders of consequence; the only one taken is a man of the name of McCabe, a republican, at whose house there has been got about 1000 pikes and 600 rounds of ball cartridges. We have not yet heard of any disturbance in the country."
"The engagement continued until 4 o'clock, and within these two hours two of the 62d regiment have been killed in the neighborhood of the Royal Hospital."
JULY 29, 1803. Yesterday Messages were presented to Parliament from his Majesty, acquainting, that a treasonable and rebellious spirit of insurrection had manifested itself in Ireland, which had been marked with circumstances of peculiar atrocity in the city of Dublin; and recommending the immediate adoption of measures to suppress the rebellion, to protect his Majesty's loyal subjects, and to restore tranquility.
Mr. Addington, in the Commons, after some very spirited observations on the subject, moved an Address, in answer. This was objected to by Mr. Wyndham, as precipitate; sufficient information not having been laid before the house. Mr. Sheridan supported the address and was very severe on the conduct of Mr. Wyndham. This drew a high compliment to Mr. Sheridan, from Mr. Addington, who observed; that for his consistency of conduct, particularly for his zeal during the mutiny at the Nore, and by his late conduct, in his endeavour to cure the evil first, and then inquire into the causes, he had acquired immortal honor, and would be richly rewarded by the faithful page of history.—After the address had passed nem. con. Mr. Addington presented Bills for the establishment of Martial Law in Ireland, and for suspending
the Habeas Corpus Act therein.—These bills were read three several times, and passed; were sent to the Lords, where they were enacted immediately.
PARIS, AUG. 2. The First Consul will be in Paris the 15th.—He will stay here but a few days; and will then visit Brest, and the ports opposite England, from which he will sail to invade it.
Five sail of the line, from St. Domingo, and one frigate, have arrived safe in Corunna.
LONDON AUG. 3. RAMPARTS ROUND LONDON.
An official note has been sent by Lord Cathcart to the Marquis of Titchfield, on the subject of fortifying London. The measure is to be put into immediate execution. The line of defence is to run through the County of Middlesex in a semicircular form, beginning at the Thames, near the mouth of the river Lea, and ending at the Thames above and near Battersea Bridge; it passes in its northern and north western direction through Stratford-le-Bow, and near Clapton, along the high grounds which bound the Marshes on the right or western bank of the river Lea, as far as the neighbourhood of Stamford Hill, when it quits the Lea and takes a western course, passing from near the turnpike, on Stamford Hill, by Hornsey Wood to the ridge extending by Mount Pleasant, over the village of Grouchend, and from thence by the Sheep-hose Ridge to Highgate and adjacent, from thence by Hampstead and adjacent towards Wilmsdon-Green; here it changes its direction to the south-west and south, running down the Canal near the Redhorse then crossing the Canal near Kensal Green, proceeding to Kensington Gravel-Pits and Holland-house, passing near Little-Chelsea, and reaching the Thames above Battersea Bridge.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
Extract of a letter from Vergennes, (Indiana Territory) dated 15th of August, 1803.
"I promised you news of importance, and have now to communicate it. A treaty was signed a few days since, at this place, between governor Harrison, on the part of the United States, and the chiefs of the Kaskaskias tribe of Indians, by which the United States have acquired at least 8 millions of acres of land. The whole country is ceded, from the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi, up to the mouth of the Saline creek, which makes into the Ohio a few miles below the mouth of the Wabash—and from thence along the high lands that divide the waters that fall into the Saline, the river A' Vase and Kaskaskias, on the one hand, and those of the Wabash on the other, to the ridge that divides the above waters from those that fall into the Illinois river—thence in a direct line to the mouth of the Illinois and thence to the Ohio."
"The Indians are all at peace, and now more attached to the United States, than they have ever been before. Indian affairs have been conducted in such a manner—upon such principles, that their firmest confidence has been acquired. They find an obvious interest in cultivating our friendship, and the task will be easy hereafter, in preserving the strictest amity with them. Many tribes, formerly powerful, have dwindled away, comparatively speaking into nothing.—The Kaskaskias have now wholly thrown themselves under the protection of the United States."
"Measures, I expect, will shortly be taken to assist them in preparing for cultivating a small tract or two, which is reserved for their use. They express much anxiety to become farmers, and acquire the rudiments of cultivation. Game in some measure is destroyed, it is with difficulty they obtain a subsistence from that source; they therefore have the strongest motives to turn their attention to agricultural pursuits, & the experiment which will be made on the Kaskaskias tribe will no doubt have a happy influence on the surrounding nations."
PHILADELPHIA.
By Friday's Mail, we have authentic accounts of the prevalence of malignant fever in Philadelphia; as will appear by the following extract:
Health Office, Philadelphia, Sept. 12. "It is with deep regret, that the Board of Health announce to their fellow citizens that a disease of a malignant aspect, has made its appearance in that district of the city extending from Market to Walnut-Street, and from the east side of Front Street, to the river Delaware, beyond which limits nothing of alarming import is known to have yet occurred."
"After an investigation the most diligent and attentive, the Board are unable to trace this disease to any foreign or external source. No vessel to which suspicion can be attached has lain at the adjacent wharves during the season, nor is it ascertained that any sick person from New York or elsewhere has gained admission into the neighborhood. But the consideration of all others the most consoling and encouraging is, that in no instance whatever has the disease appeared contagious."
"The Board add that though a General removal of the citizens is not advisable; yet they earnestly recommend the immediate removal of the inhabitants of the diseased districts."
An expedition against Demerara has failed from the British Windward Islands.
The French Frigate Le Pourvuivant, of 36 guns, has arrived at Baltimore, in distress, having been dismasted in a gale, in lat. 33.
Portsmouth. TUESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1803.
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
ADVICES, from London up to the 28th of July, have reached New-York in the ship Merchant, Capt. Lord, from Liverpool. Their contents are no way interesting as to continental operations; what seems most worthy the attention of our readers, is the late disturbances which have taken place in Dublin. It appears that a great many lives have been lost; every thing in the country appeared as yet peaceable, but it is expected that this will not continue long. The spirit of dissatisfaction is too universally spread in Ireland, to look for a speedy termination of their present contest. It is neither the spirit of aggrandizement nor fell demon ambition that actuate their hearts to the combat—their struggle is for liberty—they are engaged in the laudable pursuit of shaking off the fetters of imperious Britain; of that tyrannical power which has and still wishes to keep them in the insupportable and galling chains of slavery. The present state of Ireland may justly be compared to that in which our country was once, and shall every American, every true republican not feel themselves warmly interested in their behalf, and sincerely with their endeavours will be crowned with an Eagle's success?—That they may enjoy all those blessings which liberty bestows upon a well governed people. Whilst every good man wishes this, he is solicitous to see this national prosperity rest upon a solid foundation—to see that a brave people should be careful in shaking off the yoke of one power, not to become a dupe to another.—Foreign alliances are ever pernicious in their end, however desirable at first sight—Peace and amity with all nations, can only insure individual and national prosperity.
In London the general defense bill passed the House of Lords on the 26th July, and was to receive the royal assent that day. Dover is to be strengthened, and at Archcliff 150 men were learning the use of great guns. We understand that the Sea Fencibles all along the coast, are entering with eagerness.
We are informed by the arrival of a neutral vessel from Holland, at London, that a French officer, called a commissary, with 25 men, is stationed in every sea port in Holland, to inspect imported cargoes, and to confiscate, for the use of the republic, whatever shall appear to be English goods.
In Italy, we understand manifestoes have been sent round by Lord Nelson, declaring that any vessel bound to or from any port in possession of the French, without discrimination, would be seized by him.
Letters from Madrid state, that the Court of Spain had issued orders for a new levy of 40,000 men, to reinforce several of their principal ports; that works are erecting for their security, and that the navy was to be augmented.
Intelligence received from Bombay give us most dismal accounts of the dreadful ravages occasioned by fire, in their extensive Bazar. At the time the accounts came away, it was supposed that about 1000 houses had been destroyed, though the fire was not then extinguished. None but those who are acquainted with the population of the Bazar, can form an aggregate idea of the number of those miserable victims which have fallen a prey to this dire calamity.
Intelligence is said to have reached Cape-Francois, of the surrender of Jeremie to the English.—The report of the English having taken possession of Demerara, is contradicted by recent accounts—though they give us intelligence of the British being on its coast. Gov. Merteens, it is said, is preparing to resist.—A vast number of hands were employed in repairing the fort. Those who are acquainted with the situation of that colony, must consider these efforts as fruitless, and be convinced of their falling a prey to the tyrant of the seas.
At Natchez, a general illumination of the town took place, accompanied with demonstrations of joy, on the news having reached them of the cession of Louisiana to the United States. It met the same reception at New-Orleans.
Martinique and Guadalupe are blockaded.
We look with eagerness for accounts from Europe, which may throw some light upon the present uncertainty of continental operations; and we shall on the first receipt of the same, lay them before our readers, who no doubt are warmly interested in the present contest for liberty—that most precious of blessings!
Colonel Hyllop is appointed Lt. Governor of Trinidad, vice Fullarton and Pidgeon recalled.
Accounts from Port-au Prince, of the 20th August, represent the situation of that place as highly distressing.

DOMESTIC.
Accounts from Charlestown, contain the pleasing intelligence of the excellent and abundant crops of Cotton which will be made in all quarters of that State the present year.
Chancellor Livingston, Minister at the Court of the First Consul, is to be recalled. Two young women were unfortunately drowned in crossing the Merrimack River, near the head of the Middlesex Canal. On the 23d of August a duel was fought at Savannah, Georgia, by Samuel Haward and Joseph Welch, Esqrs. The dispute arose in the city Council of which they were both members. Howard was dangerously wounded though hopes of his recovery are entertained.
It would seem consistent with the honor and interest of a well governed nation to adopt such rigorous measures as will prevent the renewal of this degrading and diabolical practice, which often drags but too many evils after it. It is with peculiar regret we announce to the public that a malignant disease has manifested itself in the city of Philadelphia. A recent fire consumed twelve dwellings in New-York. The unsearchable ways of Providence over the unfortunate city, numbers of its inhabitants are daily summoned to the silent grave; the tears of the widow, the fatherless, the friend, continually bedew the ashes of their departed relations and relatives, but time and space will not now indulge any farther reflections and retrospects, which would naturally lead to a subject of the highest importance, slightly touched upon in our paper of the 6th of this month, and which will be resumed on the first opportunity and would have been continued ere this, had not necessity (which has no laws) imposed a momentary silence.
The great champion of mock freedom, like his infernal majesty, is traversing our divinely illuminated country, in hopes of serving the cause of his dear friends, by his own promotion. The citizens of America, who realise their happy conquests over the dark beings of the past administration, and observe the manoeuvres of the gentry of the hole, while they pity those miserable wretches, who are actuated by a spirit of revenge and despair, cannot help laughing at their attempts to deceive men who are in reality more knowing than themselves, and too well understand the real interests of their country, to be imposed upon by the most contemptible of human existances. Those who recollect the gentleman who a few days since passed through this town, and who has been formerly exercising his wonderful political talents to the astonishment of the world, it is to be hoped, will pay him all the respect, wherever he appears, which is due to every thing that thinks agreeable to, and is influenced by those grand principles which do honor to Kings, Aristocrats, knaves and fools.
RUFUS KING , late Minister in London, has been recommended by the British, and federalists in this country, as fit to represent the office of Chief Magistrate of the Union. This solicitude for that venerable man, deserves our notice, and we pronounce him worthy to hold even the birth of Prime Minister to a British Cabinet. One good turn deserves another, and as our British friends seem to stand in need of putting good men in office, we would recommend, in the strongest possible manner, BONAPARTE as the fittest person for regulating the concerns of the British nation. Judicious choice! happy invention!
GLORIOUS NEWS,
From North Carolina.
We can congratulate the friends of republicanism, and of the present administration, on our having eleven out of 12 Representatives, firm Republicans; in the last congress we had only 6 out of 10. (Raleigh Register.)
From Demerara.
Capt. Barnes, arrived here from Demerara, infers, the day he sailed, (the 9th ult.) he saw an English frigate standing in for the River Titus, near enough to see the ship's stern, she tacked ship to the eastward, supposed her to be viewing the situation of the place. The inhabitants of Demerara daily expected the British would take possession of the Colonies, but the Governor was determined to make a vigorous resistance—200 negroes were constantly employed in repairing the old forts.
Capt. B. did not get over the Bar, the day the English ship was in sight, although he was under way at the time, and the next day saw nothing of her.

At Demerara, Mr. WILLIAM JENNESS, aged 80, late of this town—an enterprising young man.
At Hallowell on the 7th inst. Mr. HENRY BURLEIGH Merchant, formerly of this town, aged 34.
In this town, Mrs. CLARK, wife of Capt. Joseph Clark, aged 48.
At Northampton, General MOSES LEAVITT, in the 61st year of his age. At the early age of 18 years, he entered the service in defence of his country, in conquering Canada, where he surmounted innumerable hardships as a soldier, on the 6th of August 1778, Gov. Wentworth commissioned him a captain of the 3d company in the 3d regiment of the N.H. Militia—in the beginning of the Revolution, in shaking off the iron yoke of Great Britain, over these colonies, He appeared earnestly engaged, and on the 30th August 1775. He took the command of a company in the army at Winterhill, under the brave Washington; on the 23d November 1778 he received a Lieut. Colonel's commission in the 3d regiment of the N.H. Militia,—on the 25th December 1784 he received a commission to command the same regiment as colonel; on the 24th March 1785 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace and Quorum,—on the 5th of April 1793, He was appointed Brigadier General of the 3d Brigade in New-Hampshire,—he served his town and the district as Representative and Senator in the Legislature of New Hampshire twenty one years, eight of which were in the Senate—all of which offices he filled with honor, respect and esteem,—he was ever firm and uniform in principle and politics, never seeking his own ease, but the peace and happiness of the rising generation,—being worn out in his country's service, and wishing to retire to private life, made public proclamation to all his friends, desiring not to be considered as a candidate any longer, which finished his career as a Statesman,—On the first of September inst. after a confinement of about five weeks, in perfect composure of mind, he resigned his soul to him that gave it, and on the day following his remains, after a prayer by Doctor McClintock, were conducted to the meeting-house by Capt. Lovering and his company under arms, followed by a great number of mourners, and after a well adapted prayer by the Rev. Dr. McClintock, and an excellent sermon by the Rev. Mr. French, and concluding prayer by the Rev. Mr. Appleton—the procession then moved to the grave where his remains were interred with military honors. A long train of mourners, followed by the inhabitants of his native town, and many others who assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to his memory, preceded by a military corps with their arms reversed, moved slowly to martial instruments, performing funeral thought, rendered the scene inexpressibly solemn & affecting. His numerous family and connections are left to mourn the loss of a kind husband, a fond father, and an affectionate brother—And his country to lament the exit of an officer and a statesman, who spent his whole life with activity and zeal, in her military and civil departments.

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, that the Selectmen and others, inhabitants of TUFTONBOROUGH, have petitioned the General Court, representing, that said town was originally granted to a very few persons; That they have so managed the settlement that there is no Land granted for the benefit of schools, or any other public uses for the benefit of the first settlers in said town—That said petitioners are many of them poor, and others in but moderate circumstances—They therefore pray that they may have liberty to tax all the Lands in said town, fifty cents on one hundred dollars on the estimated value of said Land, for one year, viz. the year 1804, to enable them to build the necessary School-Houses in said town—that they may be enabled to give their children decent educations—And further stating, that they are of opinion the Proprietors will not be injured by the granting the prayer of said petition, as it will increase the value of their property, and promote a laudable and good purpose, and gain them the esteem of the inhabitants.
ORDERED, that the petitioners be heard before the General Court on the second Wednesday of their next session, and that they cause the substance of said petition and order of Court thereon, to be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, the last publication of which to be at least six weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons may then appear and show cause, (if any they have,) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.

NOTICE.
WHEREAS A NOTE OF HAND of the Subscriber has been advertised for sale by HENRY KIMBALL, at thirty per cent. discount; he thinks in justice to himself it may not be amiss to lay the following observations before a candid public, capable of appreciating the merits to him who shall appear to be intitled to them. He has no desire of disputing the privilege of any man to dispose of his property of whatever nature or kind soever—but there are certain rules to be observed, and we cannot trespass beyond their bounds without violating those laws which circumscribe the conduct which one individual should pursue toward another. Whether this has been attended to in this particular instance by Henry Kimball, he leaves to the impartial decision of others. To throw some light upon this affair, which however insignificant in itself, might without an explanation, draw disagreeable consequences after it—the subscriber begs leave to observe that a trifling dispute happened between him and said H. Kimball, in consequence of which he received a note from him, the meaning of which, from the peculiar manner in which it was wrote, he is at a loss to interpret—As some of the public are no doubt possessed of more penetration (and it seems to require men possessed of this qualification to explain the contents of that note,) we shall lay it before the readers of the Gazette. This settled the intention of the advertisement, it seems to be subjects of three different interpretations, namely, 1st. That he must have been ignorant of what he was about when he intered the aforementioned advertisement,—or 2ly. That he was at a loss for cash,—or 3ly. That he wished by undervaluing the note to injure the subscriber's credit. We shall proceed downward, and would inform the Public that not only the amount of the Note, (six dollars) but its becoming due no sooner than in about seventy days, would seem to destroy the supposition of the last of these questions being founded. No man of sense would suppose a man's credit to be bad because he did not pay his debts seventy days or there about, previous to their becoming due. The second supposition the subscriber considers as improbable, considering the small amount of the debt—There remains but one alternative, and the undersigned is ready to believe that the want of good sense—common sense has been the actuating principle in this affair. As such he would have passed by the conduct of Henry Kimball, had it not been exposed to the eyes of the Public. This most favorable interpretation the subscriber wishes to ascribe his conduct to, but should this injure the pride of Henry Kimball, and he be good enough to give me a hint of the same, I shall endeavour to accommodate him in interpreting this transaction in a different point of view.

A new Song, on the cession of LOUISIANA, to the UNITED STATES.
HAIL JEFFERSON, thy country's voice, Shall tell thy acts in joyful strains, Beneath thy wise deligous rejoice, While peace and plenty deck the plains, Monarchic wiles, and grandeur's schemes Shall vanish like phantastic dreams.
When infant justly rais'd thy frown, Thou didst to wren discretion join, And bade the royal Spanish crown Lay justice to the travers'd line, The monarch bears—without delay The rankling cause is swept away.
No childless widows mourn their slain, No war-contractors gripe the poor, No hostile armies cross the plain, No cripples beg from door to door, But all is fullness all is peace, And joys from hour to hour encrease.
While Britain madly pants for war, And France indignant checks her pride, Though Europe shake,—without a jar, Here peace and plenty shall reside, And through our wide republic raise The songs of gratitude and praise.
Columbia! Hail the happy day, When worth and diplomatic skill, With honest but commanding sway, Bid's even rivalry be still, By reason's mild, alluring art, Adds a new empire to our chart.
New Orleans purchas'd, and thy tide, Vast Mississippi all our own, Here adverse enemies in peace shall ride, Nor acts of enmity be known, Orleans, like sister cities free, Shout JEFFERSON and Liberty.
Louisiana's vast domain Annexed to our union stands, Nor shall her sovereignty again, Revert into European hands, Her sister states, her love shall claim, And gently fan her genial flame.
Throughout the empire's widening bound, New towns and States will swiftly rise, European crowds will press the ground Emerging from less favored skies, Of equal rights and laws secure, Host following host shall seek this shore. Blest are the Men who foster peace, Who strike no hasty needlessly blow, Who love to see the arts increase, And riches from industry flow: Who keep no pampered Pimps in pay, To varnish guils in colours gay.

Thoughts on the modern warm Controversy respecting BAPTISM.
[No. VII.]
II. IT is very manifest that a bab can do nothing towards obtaining the favor of God, but it is a general sentiment that a man can do much. If you analyze schemes of religion that name the name christian, you will find they generally agree in building the hope of man, on some distinguishing act he performs, or some character he attains; aided by divine grace. This may be called a common self-righteous error. The first disciples were not free from the natural powerful influence of it, but were in danger from it. It appeared to take hold of their minds, tho' contrary to the doctrine they had learned, and it was rebuked for their recovery, and for our warning. It was from this error insinuating their minds, that they forbade those who brought infants to Christ to be blessed. From the same source men now forbid infants to be brought to be owned for him, and by him; partaking of the one baptism. The forbidders must expect to be justified and obtain the favor of God, by some act of their own, distinguishing them from infants. The words of Christ, Luke 18, 17, put it beyond all doubt, that little children do in fact receive the kingdom of God. He affirms that they do—The Baptists suppose that their adult professors receive the kingdom, not as a little child receives it, but by some act of faith, that the child cannot exert or put forth. But, says the Lord, "whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, shall in no wise enter therein." The translators might have put in the word understood here, or might have supplied the Elipsis; and then the text would have read thus—whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child does, shall in no wise enter therein.—Those who make faith an act, distinguishing the actor of it, and expect to be justified by an act of their own, may be left to ponder on the foregoing awful excluding words. Those who do indeed believe, or which is the same thing, credit Christ's word, receive the kingdom as a little child receives it. They do not receive it by their own act, but by God's act. They do not hope, or think, to be justified and saved by any act or thing of their own, whether called faith or by any other name. No: they know they cannot be so justified. They know themselves to be as totally incapable of putting forth any act towards their acceptance with God, as a child of eight days old. But they are firmly persuaded on divine testimony that the justifying righteousness is finished. That it may be, and is imputed to helpless infants; and may be imputed to themselves equally helpless; by a sovereign act of him who has mercy on whom he will.—What they hear, and not any thing they do, is the hinge of their hope and joy. So their creed, or the truth they believe, excludes all difference, between them and their infants, as to acceptance with their maker. They would not therefore say with Jenkins, "infants may be saved, but we cannot tell how;" but would boldly affirm, infants are saved, and we can tell how. It is by the imputation of Christ's righteousness, the only way in which any human creature ever was, or will be justified. This author says again, infants do dying "receive from the grace of God, what is equivalent to faith and repentance, tho' we cannot tell how it is infused." Is not this holding justification to be by an infused principle instead of Christ's righteousness? Besides, if infants receive from Christ what is equivalent to faith and
repentance, why does he exclude from baptism such as Christ owned and blessed; for want of his gifts?
III. The Baptists do not consider that a contending for infant baptism, on scripture grounds, holds as irrevocably as they do, the close inseparable connection between professing faith in Christ and baptism. That it is in no case to be administered but on such a profession. I believe I might say, more irrevocably ; for by my information it is rather the baptizer than the baptized, who makes the profession, at their going into the water. And that profession rather respects the mode , immersion, than the blood that cleanses from sin. Whereas the true confessor professes faith in that cleansing by blood, which is held forth in baptism, & in the promise of salvation to a believer, and his house. And on this profession his infants are to be viewed, judging by Christ's word, to be disciples, holy, belonging to his kingdom, with the believing parents; and are to be received in his name, and treated as such. Thus the firm connection between faith and baptism, set aside by modern traditions, is held strictly. And I would contend as earnestly for adult or believers baptism, as any baptist. Yea, more earnestly ; being persuaded that the anti-christian church has not Christ's baptism .
