[To be continued.]
The following SKETCH is taken from the Address of the Editor of the Newburyport Herald, on the commencement of the present year.
To name the Academies incorporated in New-England, exceeds our limits. Schools are established in every town; for some part of the year, in every hamlet. In New-Hampshire, on the spot where about thirty years since was a trackless forest, is now a flourishing University; the build-
ings are convenient and handsome; the Professors, men of science and virtue. From the learned President the public are expecting a work, which may do honor to the New World. Though there had long been a celebrated University in this Commonwealth, two Colleges more have been founded, in one of which is a large number of students, whose President can receive no new honor from our praise.—In Road-Island, the Baptists have a College with liberal means of instruction.—In Vermont a College is incorporated and liberally endowed. These are so many luminous orbs to enlighten our hemisphere; their splendor is increasing.—In the different arts and sciences many individuals have distinguished themselves. The Historical works of Hutchinson, Trumbull, Belknap, Sullivan, Minto, Williams, Smith, and Ramsay, will ever remain sources of information respecting our own country. In Poetry Sewall, Paine, Gardiner, Paton, Dwight and Trumbull, enchant the soul of taste.
See Barlow, hallowed Seer, the curtain draw,
And ope the visions which COLUMBUS saw;
But, Oh! he falls, as Satan whilom fell,
With Jacobinic *****
Myrse alone has presented to the World the Geography of America. More is expected from him. Webber, Murray, and Stanford, have given Grammars of her own language; while in numbers Pike shines as a luminary of the first order. At the bar Parsons, Pinkney, Marshall, Ames, D'xier, Hamilton, and Edwards, rival the Tullys of the old world. In painting the fame of Trumbull, W. B. Copley, Stewart, Taylor, and Brown, shall be immortal as the scenes they draw.—In April 1704 the first number of "The News Letter" was published in Boston; now, in that town ten sheets are published weekly probably there are forty Printing Presses constantly employed in this State. In the little State of Connecticut fourteen are now published weekly. The same century that saw the inhabitants of this land; few in number, suffering numerous hardships from real wants, frowning forests, and savage foes, witnessed crowded cities, adorned with elegance, cultivated fields of golden harvest spread over extensive and fertile States, forming an empire which in a short period may command the sea, and control the licentious spirit of the nations.—But a recent and important event rushes on the mind, tantalizes reflexion, and spreads a cloud of gloomy uncertainty and apprehension over the brilliant prospect. Shall republics ever prove ungrateful to their most useful, faithful servants, and unwise to their highest interest? Gracious Heaven forbid it! Grant that our country may ever be an exception to the general charge. And that an overruling Providence may still favour us with Rulers, eminent for Wisdom and Integrity, Piety and Virtue.
CHILLICOTHE, (N.W. Territory) Dec. 11.
The Quarter-Master General has arrived here from Pitsburg. He is, it is said, in a few days to proceed down the river to fix upon a spot for the cantonment of the 2d Regiment, which we learn is to be near the mouth of the Ohio.
WASHINGTON, DEC. 29.
The official returns from Kentucky for President and Vice President have been received. They are for
THOMAS JEFFERSON, 4 votes
AARON BURR, 4 votes
These votes complete the returns from all the states; whereby we are enabled to announce the total result as follows:
For THOMAS JEFFERSON, 73
AARON BURR, 73
JOHN ADAMS, 65
C. C. PINCKNEY, 64
The Senate have confirmed the nomination of JOHN JAY, as Chief Justice of the United States.
In nothing is the contrast between our real Americans and the Democrats more striking than in the temper they manifest towards foreign nations. The federal Republicans look with an equal eye on France and on Britain; they wish to preserve amity and a good understanding with both, but to cherish hate or love for neither—they retain for both nations the sentiments expressed in our declaration of Independence—"Enemies in War, in Peace Friends."
In direct opposition to this is the course of the democrats. To plunge us into a war with England, and to entwine us in the embraces of France, is their unceasing effort. To effect this, nothing which can excite hate and detestation of England is left unassayed. Wafht. Fed.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 27.
GOOD NEWS.
Extract of a letter from Col. BURR, to Gen. SMITH, dated New-York. Dec. 16.
"It is highly improbable that I shall have an equal number of votes with Mr. JEFFERSON: But if such should be the result, every man, who knows me, ought to know that I would utterly disclaim all competition. Be assured that the federal party can entertain no wish for such an exchange. As to my friends, they would dishonor my views and insult my feelings by a suspicion that I would submit to be instrumental in counteracting the wishes and expectations of the United States. And I now constitute you my proxy to declare these sentiments if the occasion shall require."
REMARK.
If this letter is authentic, it will operate as an 10th inducement to choose Mr. BURR—as in that case, should he decline accepting, the People would have another chance to elect a President; and the Democrats nothing to do, but to curse BURR for the delay of their triumph—The biter then would fairly be bit.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.
The outward bound Fleet, consisting of sixty sail, which has been at Reedy Island for some days past, failed from thence and went to Sea on Sunday, at 5 A. M.
BOSTON, January 7.
Priestly and Cooper, have circulated for signature, a petition for an alteration in the Constitution of Pennsylvania, to abridge the power of the Senate. In the address, which
accompanies the petition, it is intimated that the Senate is a useless body and might be dispensed with altogether.
A committee has been appointed by the Legislature of Virginia, to investigate the conduct of John Hamilton, Esq. British Consul, at Norfolk, relating to the delivery of Hugh Jones and John Read, two of the mutineers of the frigate Hermione.
A Jamaica paper says, that by the prohibition of the intercourse between the United States and the Bay of Honduras, mahogany has fallen there from 301. 10s. to 201. This fall, it is supposed, is considered as favorable to British commerce.
The famous Napper Tandy, was to be tried in Ireland, in November, for accepting the commission of Brigadier General in the French service.
OF BONAPARTE.
A letter from a gentleman recently at Paris, says, he received attentions from Bonaparte. "The last time I saw him," says he, "he was at the National Institute, of which the Chief Consul is President. Before the chair was taken, Bonaparte mixed without ceremony or reserve with the company at large, conversing indiscriminately. I was desirous of knowing every minutiae of a man who is now the arbiter of Europe, even to his dress. He had on a lead colored coat, light waistcoat, buff pantaloons and loose boots, cropped hair, without powder; a sallow Corsican complexion; his features rather gloomy than expressive, his manner frank, with politeness in conversation. By the people, says W. he is adored, and they have such an implicit reliance upon him, as to think their destiny secure and prosperous under his direction."
FROM WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.
"The most prominent objections to the Convention with France, are 1st, The want of provision for the indemnity to the sufferers by maritime depredations.—2d, The stipulation for the surrender of the captured national vessels—a new stipulation in the annals of treaties; and which France waved even in her treaty with Spain; and 3d, The deficiency of specific commercial advantages in the French colonial possessions."
Letters of credence have been granted by the President of the United States, to Mr. J. H. C. Heuven, as Commercial Agent of the Batavian Republic. He is to reside at Philadelphia.
A few days since, passed through Holden to a new settlement from Portland, a gentleman and his wife, with twenty sons, born at eight births, fifteen at the first five, four at the two next, and one at the last.
A change in the government of our Country, will at least afford a favorable opportunity to the friends of the late and present administration, "to shew the excellence of their principles and their superior merit, by treating the government with respect, in the hands of men they do not like. The papers of that party will not be filled with lies and slander against the constituted authorities; but with a dignity that disdains the meanness and baseness of bringing the laws into contempt, they will strive to give efficacy to the government."
Yesterday morning was found dead, in a yard adjoining Fitch's alley, a man by the name of ROBINSON.—He had arrived in town the preceding evening in the Plymouth stage.—was dressed in the habit of a sailor. It is supposed that he arose in his sleep, and fell from a three story window in the chamber where he slept.

ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.
From Washington, Dec. 31.
"The votes for President are all in—They stand as follows: JEFFERSON 73. BURR 73—ADAMS 65, PINCKNEY 64. JAY 1.—Of course it remains for the House of Representatives to give, or not, a President to the United States. The federal part of that body will make great exertions in favor of Mr. BURR, as being the smallest of the two great evils—so great, however, that almost any comparison is lost in their magnitude. It is uncertain whether these exertions will succeed—they depend altogether upon one man from Maryland, who is an ant federalist representing a Federal district. It is said, they will instruct him, if so, and he obeys, they cannot get nine States to vote for Mr. JEFFERSON; otherwise they will. It is my opinion, that our friends must, however unpleasant, and notwithstanding all your predictions, make up their minds to be good subjects to this last mentioned gentleman."

ANOTHER LETTER.
"Dec. 31, 1800.
"The Treaty drags on heavily in the Executive Senate; and some days must transpire, before the discussions on it are closed. I learn that it is the will, and will be the attempt of the Senate to preserve Peace between the two nations; but they will blot out many things from the Convention which an independent and spirited nation cannot submit to without disgrace and humiliation.—There is no other business of consequence before Congress."
By Monday's Mails.
FOREIGN ARTICLES,
By the brig Neptune, from Bourdeaux, arrived at Philadelphia.
PARIS, NOV. 9. IT was currently believed last night, that the French have entered Rome, it is reported to be the division of Gen. Pao, composed of 2000 French troops, besides Giralpine, Piedmontese and Italian refugees, which were charged with that expedition.
NOV. 12.
A Prague Gazette mentions that a Congress is to take place at Cracovie, between Austria, Russia and Prussia.
An Ambassador from Russia, is expected to arrive at Strasburg, and is to proceed to Luneville or to Paris.
NOV. 14.
General Berthier arrived here last night.
BOURDEAUX, NOV. 18.
The interruption of all communication with Spain, on account of the epidemic, which has ravaged several parts of that country, prevents the Americans supplying us as they have hitherto done with colonial produce. This interruption has consequently considerably raised the prices of those articles, but it will soon cease, as we have certain accounts of the epidemic being considerably on the decline.
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 11.
A great number of troops within this 8 or 10 days have been embarked, which are computed at 1500 men, and which are to go to Jaffa, conveyed by three frigates.
The last letters from the Camp of the Grand Vizier, mentions that they wait the arrival of an English army, which is to make a descent on the coast of Egypt whilst the army of the Grand Vizier, will attempt to pass the desert, to attack Belbeys and Elarish, although the Ottoman army has received considerable reinforcements it is not believed they will be able to accomplish the crossing the Desert, the French having erected on the frontiers, such fortifications as will prevent their march. We have besides certain news that Gen. Menou has succeeded in forming a certain number of battalions, composed of Greeks, Jews, and Natives. It is also said that the Bays of Upper Egypt have furnished some detachments of Mamelukes; which has not a little contributed to consolidate the inhabitants of the Delta in favour of the French.
NEW-LONDON, January 7.
The sloop Federal George, Edward Merrill, from this port, was wrecked off Jamaica, on his outward bound passage, in a tremendous hurricane which lasted three days, the unfortunate crew hung on the wreck from one o'clock at night till the next morning, (except Capt. Merrill, who courageously ventured ashore on a plank, with the assistance of a small piece of board as a paddle, and procured assistance and saved the lives of his crew. The exertions of Capt. Merrill and crew in cutting away the stock, saved 15 head, which swam ashore, the distance being about a mile and an half from the shore. Several vessels, names and captains unknown were wrecked at the same time, and totally lost.
BOSTON, JAN. 12.
The President of the United States has nominated the Hon. SAMUEL DEXTER, Secretary of the Treasury, in the room of OLIVER WOLCOTT, resigned.
There is no later intelligence, in town, from the seat of government than was published on Saturday. The letters and papers then received were to Dec. 31, and stated, that "the Treaty" was still under discussion in the senate; and that on the subject of the election of a President, from the two candidates, much diversified speculation had arisen.
In consequence of the plague which rages in Cadiz and other Spanish ports, the Board of Health of Philadelphia, have resolved, that no vessels whatever, coming either directly, or indirectly, from those places, shall approach nearer the city, than Marcus Hook, or cause any thing to be landed therefrom without special permission.
In the first number of the Porcupine, printed in London by Wm. Cobbett, we find a long string of remarks on the Treaty between this Country and France. Some of the Remarks are just, and others are as ridiculous. In speaking of the influence which some attach to the appointment of La Fayette as a minister to this Country he observes "that something more solid than the frippery and froth of Citizen Fayette is wanting to outweigh the advantages which the Americans know they derive from the Friendship of England—Should we be deceived, however; should the people of America be foolish enough to listen to the suggestions of their and our enemies, we know the worst that can happen.—Ten ships, added to our Squadron at Halifax, would, in the course of three months, bring the Sixteen United States to our feet, or send them to seek for new Constitutions in the pigeon holes of the Abbe Sieyes."
True Peter—Your ten ships might destroy some of our most exposed cities, but combining Europe could not bring the Sixteen United States to their feet."
It is fully demonstrated, that the shipping of the United States, is now fully competent to transporting the whole produce of the southern, as well as Northern States; and if the commercial spirit which has secured to our country the means of profiting by this lucrative trade, is not checked by the new administration, we shall continue to be the carriers of our own productions; unless an improper preference should be given to foreigners, which indeed would be commercial suicide.

There is a most lamentable dearth of ladies in the island of Tobago. On the 4th of June, at a ball, in honor of his Majesty's birth-day, there were fifty gentlemen and seven ladies—all married!
