LOAN OFFICE, New-Hampshire, June 11th, 1807.
NOTICE is hereby given, That in conformity with the provisions of the act supplementary to the act, intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States," books will be opened at the office of the commissioner of loans for New-Hampshire, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March, 1808, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for such parts of the old six per cent. deferred six per cent. and three per cent. stocks, as may, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the said commissioner of loans.
Those proprietors of the old six per cent. and deferred stocks, who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof a new six per cent. stock, equal to the unredeemed amount of the stock surrendered, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, under a proviso however, that no reimbursement shall be made except for the whole amount of any such new certificate of stock, nor till after six months previous notice. and the proprietors of the three per cent. stock who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof, a six per cent. stock, equal to sixty-five per cent. of the amount of three per cent. surrendered, redeemable in the same manner as the new six per cent. (given in exchange for old six or deferred as abovementioned,) as well as the whole of the eight per cent. stock of the United States, shall have been reimbursed. It is also provided that in every reimbursement which may take place, a preference will be given to those creditors who may notify their wish to be reimbursed; and that if the applications to that effect shall at any time either exceed or fall short of the sum then applicable to that purpose, the priority of payment shall, so far as may be necessary, be determined by lot.
The present stock-holders who reside in any part of Europe, and may assent to that modification, may, at their option, receive the interest accruing on the new stock, either in the United States as heretofore, or in London, or Amsterdam at par: in which last case, the interest will be paid there by the bankers of the United States, six months subsequent to the day on which the same would be payable in the United States, and subject to no variation; nor to any other deduction than a commission to the bankers, of one half per cent. on the interest thus paid.
WILLIAM GARDNER,

From the True American.
Sampson's Memoirs.—A new work has been lately published at New York, entitled "Memoirs of William Sampson," which, both for its manner and matter, deserves to be generally read.
Mr. Sampson, the subject and writer of these Memoirs, was an eminent Irish counsellor, who, rising fast in wealth, and yet fatter in public estimation, confined himself to the pale of his professional duties and the circle of domestic enjoyments, until he was drawn from these enjoyments and duties in 1797 and '98 by the system of persecution, which then raged in Ireland, and which employed torture, murder, rape, burning, subordination, free quarters, imprisonment, proscription, banishment, & innumerable similar means, to break the manly spirit of that generous people, and make them, as the lord chancellor Clarke impudently declared "as tame as gilt cats." At this period Mr. Sampson, (among many others, for whose fate Erin may well weep, but for whose conduct he need never blush,) was led from his peaceful and profitable pursuits, to mingle with the political world; and to break the torrent of destruction which was overwhelming his unfortunate country.
His talents, knowledge, influence and integrity were dreaded and hated by the wretches who fattened on the blood and plunder of Ireland. And although his conduct was in every instance perfectly honorable—although his character could not be stained by an imputation that he had winked at any crime—he was marked for destruction. He was arrested and put in prison. His servant was put to the torture to extort confessions prejudicial to his master. His repeated demands to be brought to trial were disregarded. He was finally released, on giving security to go to Portugal and stay there. On his arrival at Portugal he was again arrested and thrown into prison; and repeated attempts were made to draw from him something that would criminate himself. From Portugal he was transported to France, and there remained a prisoner of war—the British Government not permitting him to return home, though it could charge him with no crime, nor allowing his wife and children to go to him; until in 1802, when Mrs. Sampson and family were allowed to visit him. In 1805 he obtained a passport to Hamburg, where he remained until on the invasion of that place by the French he was permitted by the English minister at Hamburg to return to England. On his arrival there he was again arrested—but permitted on his request to come to America. He arrived at N. York, July 4, 1806.
His adventures and sufferings during all this time, was certainly very interesting, and are related in the true style of narrative, in simple, pleasing and impressive language.
It is not, however, merely to make the public acquainted with the history of Wm. Sampson, that we recommend this work, but also that they may have a glimpse of the cruelties and enormities of every species practiced by the British government upon the Irish people—that they may be able to judge whether the Irish martyrs to the sacred cause of liberty merit the opprobrious appellations of "Traitors" and "Rebels," as they have been but too often called even in this country, or whether they do not deserve to be held in as high estimation by every true American as those who planned and achieved our independence?
Mentioning the word "Rebel" reminds us of a paragraph in one of Mr. Sampson's letters, which as it relates in some measure to this term, we shall transcribe to close the present notice.
"I feared, therefore, to draw any distinction between my case and that of any other of the [Irish] prisoners.—They were rebels undoubtedly, and so was I—I had not invited the French—but my enemies had invited the Hessians. And I did not hesitate to say, that in the general prostration of law, constitution, humanity, and justice; whilst the Heaven was red with the curcassations of cottages in flames, and the earth crimsoned with the blood of human victims; whilst the groans of those agonizing in torture, ascended with the thick smoke that rolled as the incense of cannibals to the idols of their bloody worship: When Justice winked as she went by, and Villany exulted; and the tears of Innocence deflowered, dropped heedless, and unavenged upon

the blood-stained earth; whilst the darkness alone sheltered the houseless fugitives from their pursuers, and the despairing mother, lurking in the hiding places of the wild tenants of the fields, stretched out her powerless hands to feel if her shivering offspring, without other covering than the mantle of night, were yet alive, and near her! I did not hesitate to say, in such a moment—we must rebel! We must not be disarmed! Whatever specious pretext may be urged for commission of such crimes, they are not to be endured by honorable men; but if they be committed in furtherance of usurpation and robbery, they are to be resisted as treasons of the blackest dye. Horrid alternative! On the one hand flood Rebellion, on the other Treason and Murder! The fury of party left no middle course. I preferred rebellion to murder and treason, and it is for this that traitors have called me traitor, whilst I have cast the appellation in their teeth.

Russian Declaration against ENGLAND.
THE higher the value in which the Emperor held the amity of his Britannic Majesty, the keener the regret he must feel at the complete alienation of that monarch.
Twice has the Emperor taken up arms in a cause in which the interests of England were most intimately concerned; but he has solicited no purpose her co-operation to promote the accomplishment of her own objects. He did not require she should unite her forces with his: he was anxious only that she should make a diversion in their favor. He was astonished, that in the furtherance of her own cause she herself would make no exertion: on the contrary, she looked on, a cold spectator of the sanguinary theatre of the war which she herself had kindled, and sent a part of her troops to attack Buenos Ayres. Another portion of her army, which seemed to be destined to make a diversion in Italy, finally withdrew from Sicily, where it was assembled. Hopes were entertained that they had taken that step in order to throw themselves on the Neapolitan coast, but it was soon understood that they were employed in taking possession of Egypt.
But what most sensibly hurt the feelings of his Imperial Majesty, was to see that in violation of the faith and express stipulations of treaties, England was annoying the maritime trade of his subjects. And at what period was this proceeding adopted? When the blood of the Russians was flowing in the glorious battles, which accumulated and directed against the armies of his Imperial Majesty, the whole military force of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, with whom England was and still is at war!
When the two Emperors made peace, his Majesty, notwithstanding his just causes of displeasure at the conduct of England, did not however refrain from endeavoring to render her services. The Emperor implicated in that very treaty that he should interpose his mediation between England and France; and he accordingly made an offer of that mediation to the King of Great-Britain, apprising him, that it was with a wish to obtain honorable conditions for him. But the British ministry, adhering, no doubt, to the plan that was to dissolve and break off all the ties between Russia and England, rejected that mediation.
The peace between Russia and France was likely to bring about a general peace; but it was at this moment that England suddenly awoke from that apparent lethargy in which she had slumbered; but it was only to throw into the North fresh fire-brands, which were to rekindle, and have actually kindled the flames of war, which she was desirous not to see extinguished.
Her fleets, her troops, appeared on the Danish coasts, to execute an act of violence, of which history, so fruitful in example, records no parallel.
A power distinguished for its peaceful and moderate conduct, and for a long and unexpected course of wise neutrality; and who sustained, amidst surrounding Monarchies, a kind of moral dignity, finds itself treated as if it was engaged in secret plots, and was meditating the downfall of England; while the whole of these imputations were only meant to justify the sudden and entire spoliation of that power.
The Emperor, wounded in his dignity, wounded in the affection he feels for his people; wounded in the engagements with the Courts of the North, by this act of violence committed in the Baltic, a close sea, the tranquility of which has so long depended on the Court of St. James's, and is reciprocally guaranteed by both Powers; did not dissemble his resentment against England, and warned her that she should not remain indifferent to such a proceeding.
His Majesty did not foresee, that while England, having successfully employed her forces, was on the point of seizing on her prey, she would offer a fresh outrage to Denmark, in which his Majesty was to bear a part.
New propositions, still more invidious than those made at first, were made to Denmark,
which aimed at binding down to England that Power thus subjugated, degraded, and applauding, as it were, every thing that had happened.
Still less did the emperor foresee that it would be proposed to him to guarantee that submission, not to promise that that act of violence should not be attended with any mischievous consequences to England.
The English Ambassador seems to have imagined, that he might venture to propose to the Minister of the Emperor, that his Imperial Majesty should undertake the apology and defence of a proceeding which his Majesty had so openly condemned. To this step on the part of the Cabinet of St. James's, his Majesty has thought proper to pay only that attention which it deserved, and has deemed it high crime to set limits to his moderation.
The Prince Royal of Denmark, endowed with a character full of nobleness and energy, and having been blessed by Providence with a soul as elevated as his rank, had apprized the Emperor, that, justly enraged against what had recently happened at Copenhagen, he had not ratified the convention respecting it, and that he considered it as null and void.
That Prince has just now acquainted his Majesty, that the new propositions that have been made to him, and which are of a nature rather to provoke his resentment than to appease his resentment; for they tend to stamp on his actions the seal of degradation, the impress of which they never will exhibit.
The Emperor struck with the confidence which the Prince Royal placed in him; having moreover considered his own grounds of dissatisfaction with England; having attended to his own engagements with the powers of the North, to engagements entered into by the Empress Catharine, and by his late Imperial Majesty, both of glorious memory, has resolved upon fulfilling them.
His Imperial Majesty breaks off all communication with England; he recalls his Embassy from that court, and will not allow any Ambassador from her to continue at his court. There shall henceforward exist no relations between the two countries.
The Emperor declares that he abrogates every act hitherto concluded between Great Britain and Russia, and particularly the convention concluded in 1801. He proclaims anew the armed neutrality, that monument of the wisdom of the Empress Catharine, and binds himself never to recede from that system.
He calls upon England to give complete satisfaction to his subjects, with respect to all the just claims they may set up, of ships and merchandise seized and detained, contrary to the express tenor of the treaties concluded during his own reign.
The Emperor gives warning, that nothing shall be re-established between Russia and England, until the latter shall have given satisfaction to Denmark.
The Emperor expects that his Britannic Majesty, instead of permitting his ministers to scatter fresh seeds of war, in compliance only with his own feelings, will be induced to conclude a peace with his Majesty the Emperor of the French, which would be extending, in a manner, to the whole world the inestimable blessing of peace.
When the Emperor shall be satisfied upon all these points, and especially upon that of a peace between France and England, without which no part of Europe can expect to enjoy any real tranquillity, his Imperial Majesty will then willingly return to the relations of amity with Great Britain, which, in the state of just resentment which the Emperor should feel he has maintained perhaps too long.

War declared against England by AUSTRIA.
LONDON, November 24. Paris papers arrived this morning to the 14th instant. They are of the greatest importance; but the hour at which we received them prevents us from making any observations upon their contents.
The Moniteur of the 13th, contains a long article relative to England, dated Paris, November 12.
"England, it is said, has within two years sent out four expeditions; the first was against Constantinople, which was attended with considerable loss, and the confiscation of all the English property; the second was against Egypt, and proved still more disgraceful and disastrous, by the defeat at Rosetta; the third was against Buenos Ayres, in which they lost five thousand men; the fourth was against Copenhagen, the most atrocious expedition of which history can preserve the remembrance, and which has covered the English government with indelible shame. Why did the English evacuate Zealand and Copenhagen, after the Prince Royal had refused to receive their envoy and to ratify the capitulation? Because they were sensible of their feebleness by land, and feared the approach of that season when the approach of the Danish troops should be facilitated by the ice."
The article then proceeds thus:—"After these four expeditions which so manifestly show the moral and military decline of England, let us speak of the situation into which it has brought Portugal. The Prince Regent of Portugal loses his throne; he loses it influenced by the intrigues of England; he loses it because he would not seize the English merchandise which was at Lisbon. What then does England, that powerful ally?—She sees with indifference what passes in Portugal. What will she do when Portugal shall be taken? Will she go and seize upon Brazil? No; if the English make that attempt the Catholics will drive them out. The fall of the House of Braganza will remain a new proof that the destruction of whomsoever attaches himself to the English, is inevitable."
The article thus concludes:—"The refusal of the mediation of the Emperor Alexander, and the expedition to Copenhagen, sufficiently reveal the sentiments of the English Ministry, and their system of perpetual war. The first consequence of these events has therefore been, to determine the nations of the continent, which were still at peace with England, to break off in future all connection with her. Austria did not hesitate, scarcely had the Emperor, Francis the second, received certain information of the events at Copenhagen, and the refusal of the English to accept the mediation of Russia, when he declared war against England, already the blockade is close on every side. Lord Pembroke when he left Vienna in order to return to London, was forced to embark at Trieste; the correspondence of England with every part of the continent is intercepted; we have, in consequence of the blockade, in our hands, more than an hundred English letters, and bills of exchange to the amount of several millions sterling. These measures must reduce the English to a desperate situation."
"But what does that signify to the men who govern that nation? What have they in common with the English people? Happily on the day when these ministers shall be overthrown, they will become nothing. They may for some time continue to act on their maxims, but a catastrophe is inevitable; peace, the first of benefits to any nation ought to be the principal end of all the actions of those who govern. A ministry who professes perpetual war, betrays the dearest interests of its country; it has lost its confidence; its inevitable and quickly approaching fall, will satisfy the interest of the nation and public morals."

LONDON, DEC. 13.
The intelligence of the week is of more than common interest—American Papers have been received, which contain the Speech of the President of the United States upon the meeting of Congress—It is not in the tone of conciliation, or ordinary temperance; it is the speech of a man who seems to think a quarrel unavoidable—and as such contemplates it as a matter rather of congratulation than as a political misfortune.
If such be the feeling in America before the late Proclamations in our Gazette have reached them—we may easily conjecture how much their resentment will rise upon the sight of these commercial interdictions—If the public mind were even now wavering, these orders would most assuredly fix it: the door will thus be shut upon accommodation, and war must be inevitable.
An article in one of the Hamburg papers states, that the whole of the coasts of the Continent, from Dantzic to the extreme point of the South of Portugal, is to be occupied by French troops, and that Gibraltar was to be immediately attacked. The force in march towards Spain and Italy is estimated at one hundred thousand men. Considerable armies of reserve are forming to feed and supply it. All the troops that constituted the grand army upon the Banks of the Niemen, a great part of which have not yet reached the Rhine, are to be divided into two armies, one of which is forming at Boulogne. We may, therefore, soon expect to see the hills of Boulogne once more covered with camps, and hear the cry of invasion from the French shores.
We understand it to be in the contemplation of Government to call upon the governor and directors of the Bank of England, for a voluntary contribution of 500,000l. towards the public service, for the year 1807, or to demand of them, under Parliamentary authority, to demonstrate, by a full disclosure of the state of their accounts, their inability to pay this small portion of tax upon their property, in common with the rest of his Majesty's subjects.
A paper of yesterday morning says, that "some days ago proposals were issued by the victualling office for supplying our fleets, &c. on the West-India station with fresh provisions. A number of persons sent in terms, and they waited on Friday on the victualling Board for the purpose of closing their contracts. But they were surprised by a very unexpected question from the commissioners, to the following effect:—"From whence do you propose to draw supplies for the execution of your contracts in the event of an American war?" The contractors being wholly unprepared for such a question, and struck by its tendency, required time to answer, and reconsider their proposals. In consequence of this very pregnant interrogatory, any farther consideration upon the subject which gave rise to it, has been postponed until Wednesday next.
DEC. 14.
The Gottenburgh Mails have arrived since our last. The contents of these mails are seldom of much interest; however, such as they are, in the present state of the continent, with respect to news, we are glad to receive them. The contents of these are of that nature as to induce us to suppose we shall not be troubled with many more, for it is evident that the emperor of Russia is taking measures to sever from us our only remaining continental ally. The King of Sweden has no force in his dominions to withstand that of Russia, and must in course yield to necessity. A messenger arrived from Sweden last night, which, no doubt, brought the intelligence to ministers of the march of the Russian troops towards Swedish Finland; and probably announced to them the reluctant resolution of the Swedish monarch to yield to circumstances.
National Legislature.

Several private Petitions were presented.—Two Messages in writing were received from the President of the U. States, by Mr. Coles, his Secretary, enclosing a Treaty of limits between the U. S. of America and the Choctaw tribe of Indians; and a Treaty made between the Ottaway, Chippeway, Wyandott, and Pottawattamie tribes of Indians.—These Messages, with the Treaties, were referred to the committee of Ways and Means.

The judges of both the supreme and inferior Courts of the U. States, shall, after the day of—be removed from office by the President of the U. S. on the joint address of both Houses of Congress requesting the same, three fifths of each House concurring in such address.
This resolution was referred to a committee of the whole House on the state of the Union.
On motion of Mr. Newton, the House went into a committee of the whole, Mr. Bassett in the chair, on the bill to erect a light-house on Point Judith, in the state of Rhode-Island.—The blank in the bill for the appropriation being filled with 5000 dollars, the committee rose and reported the bill, which was ordered to a third reading on Monday.
On motion of Mr. G. W. Campbell, the House went into a committee of the whole, on the bill making appropriations for the support of the Navy of the U.

Mr. Boyle, from the committee on public lands, reported "A bill to extend the time for issuing and locating military land warrants," which was referred to a committee of the whole.
The "bill making appropriations for the support of the Navy of the United States during the year 1808," was read the third time and passed; as was also the "bill authorizing the erection of a light-house on Point Judith, in the state of Rhode-Island."
The house then proceeded to consider the amendments made in committee of the whole to the rules and orders of the house. After a debate of about two hours, the house adjourned.
An act to revive and continue in force the 19th section of an act entitled "An act to ascertain and fix the military establishment of the United States," and to extend the provisions thereof, which had passed the Senate, was read the first and second time in the House of Representatives, and made the order of the day for the following Monday.
TUESDAY, FEB. 2.
SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
Mr. Sloan, after some prefatory remarks, offered the following resolution: Resolved, That it is expedient, and the public good requires, that the Seat of Government should be removed to the CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, for—years; and that a committee be appointed to bring in a bill for the purpose.
Mr. W. Allison, called for the ayes and noes on considering the motion. They were taken and are as follows—ays 67, nays 45.
Mr. Lewis then moved that the further consideration of the resolution be postponed indefinitely. A debate of three hours took place on this motion and the house
adjourned without coming to any decision.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3.
A Message received yesterday from the President was read, transmitting a copy of the late decrees of the British Government. The Message was as follows:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
"Having received an official communication of certain orders of the British Government against maritime rights of neutrals, bearing date the 11th of Nov. 1807, I transmit them to Congress as a further proof of the increasing dangers to our navigation and commerce, which led to the provident act of the present session laying an embargo on all our vessels.
TH: JEFFERSON."
After some debate, these papers were referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union.
The house again took up Mr. Sloan's proposition for a removal of the Seat of Government, which was debated; but the house adjourned without coming to a decision.
CHILICOTHE, JAN. 4.
The House of Representatives of this state have been engaged, for nearly three days, in discussing the following resolution:
Resolved, That the judges of this state are not authorised, by the constitution, to set aside any act of the legislature, by declaring the law unconstitutional, or null and void.
A very animated and argumentative discussion took place on the subject: the resolution was ultimately decided in the affirmative—Yea 18—Nays 12.
NORFOLK, JAN. 23.
A British armed Schooner anchored in Hampton Roads on Thursday morning, from Bermuda. It is said she is the bearer of dispatches from Sir John B. Warren, (arrived at Bermuda) to Mr. Rose, and that she is immediately to proceed to Annapolis.
A CLEAR CASE.
The following statements are published, as well to do exact and equal justice—as to point out to the American public, the palpable disregard of Britain and her officers, of the principles set up by herself.
In the case that follows, the man is admitted to be an American—
The reason alleged for not delivering him up, is, that he entered voluntarily into the British service, and received the bounty as they call it.
Therefore, having entered voluntarily—
1. The British commander was not bound to deliver him up.
2. Therefore, the American had no right to complain, or claim the protection of his country.
3. Therefore, he was flogged.
NOW LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE. We never impress any British seamen. Any of them that come into the American service, come voluntarily.
They receive our money. What are the conclusions of the British, in regard to us?
Truly, that although our citizens be detained, and refused to us by them—their subjects must be delivered up to them by us.
Why this is such impudence, as no besotted head on earth, besides John Bull's, could conceive.
It carries all the egotism of the nation with all its disregard of morals or law.
Here we see the right of choice acknowledged, when our citizen chuses to enter the British service.
But the proclamation denies the right of choice, if a British subject chooses to enter into our mercantile or naval service.
We have wretches among us, ready to argue in favor of this unequal operation of public law—but as the N. Y. Eve. Post recommends, it is time to mark them!
[Aurora.
From the Norfolk Herald, Jan. 19.
Our readers will recollect a communication appeared in the Herald of the 12th inst. on the subject of the frigate Statira. The communication stated, that a boat with passengers from Hampton to this place, and provisions for the Statira, called along side of that frigate for the purpose of delivering the provisions; when arrived along side the frigate, they were saluted with the groans of persons who appeared to be suffering the most excruciating torture. This became so distressing to the passengers on board the boat, that they became anxious to leave their situation and proceed on their journey, when they were treated in the most brutal manner, and were threatened with being fired into unless they waited until it was the pleasure of his majesty's officers to receive the provisions. The source from which the screams and groans proceeded is now known, and the cause which produced them is also well known. We state it on the most respectable information, which admits not of the probability of a doubt, that they were the groans of American citizens, writhing under the lash of petty tyrants!—and their crime, having declared they were American citizens, and having sent some letters on shore by the pilot, notifying the collector of this port of their fate, and praying his interference!
It was a maxim, the pride and glory of the ancient Spartans, and which so long preferred that nation as well from internal commotions as against the united attacks of the most potent powers of the world—that private individual interest never should be considered as that relating to the commonwealth was brought in question. Those, who experience depreciation of property and vexation in personal concerns in consequence of the embargo, but who at the same time think it may result in a national benefit, would do well by honorably imitating a nation which produced a Lycurgus in council, and a Leonidas in the field. [Farmers' Cabinet.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1808.  LATEST FROM EUROPE. A vessel from Liverpool, arrived at New-York, has brought advices a few days later than before received. The affairs of Europe appeared to be approaching a great crisis. The issue can only be conjectured. The only circumstances, which had the least bearing towards peace, were the interchange of Couriers between Austria and England; and that some of the British Cabinet (particularly Mr. Canning) were stated to be disposed to negotiate.  The late European news is, in every light in which it can be viewed, extremely interesting. It supercedes all necessity for comment on the strong measure (who now will be bold enough to deny its strength?) taken by our government, whether adopted from precautionary or political motives. Conspiring events, over which it is true we have no control, but which might have been, and probably were, in the outline, foreseen, will give to this measure great, perhaps decisive effect. The whole European world may now be considered as at war with Britain, the issue of which may well fill her, undaunted as she is, with fearful apprehension. Principles are set up, and demands made, worth contending for, and the most solemn pledges given that these principles will never be abandoned; and which certainly will not be relinquished without a contest still more arduous than any yet waged. Is not this the precise moment for her to relax in her pretensions towards this country? We demand nothing but what is just—the same freedom of trade, which she has always insisted on—and that very freedom, which, in the present crisis, may be essential to her existence? Independently of the confederated hostility of all Europe against her, she is menaced with a severer scourge than war. At the very moment, when she had flattered herself with a plentiful harvest, the assurance of which perhaps had a great influence on the principles she has set up, as well in point of time, as in regard to their extent; at the very time she calculated upon the abundance of her crops to supply the means of carrying these measures into effect, she is visited, in her most vulnerable point, with the most awful calamity, which can threaten or befall a nation. Famine already rages in the face. A letter from Cork, dated November 25, says—"A severe frost set in a few days since, and to all appearance has destroyed more than half of the potatoes, in consequence the price has advanced from 30s. to 50s. per ton. Oatmeal is not to be had, and wheat advancing; a scarcity altogether is apprehended, and a bad prospect of a supply."  If such apprehension existed at the end of November, to what degree may it not be expected to rise about the beginning of February, when the information of our embargo shall reach her; when she shall find her stock of provisions greatly diminished; when she shall have suffered severely from the prohibitory orders, of her own government; when the stock of raw materials for her manufactures is gradually declining; when the want of the all-important article of flax-seed, (no where else to be got) shall have paralysed the labors of the farmer, and presented a more dreary prospect to the manufacturer; and when the prospect of a supply from this country—hitherto her constant reliance in time of distress—shall have vanished? Will not Britain, at such a period, yield to that principle which she has made the pretext for all her invasions of neutral rights, to the principle of necessity, whose existence, however incorrectly urged on other occasions, can admit of no question under such circumstances? We do hope that she will, and that her own decided interest will induce her to act a wise, honorable and just part towards us.  France, too, and all her allies, will most sensibly feel the effects of the embargo; so sensibly, we should hope, as to be herself willing, in case England relaxes her conduct to neutrals, likewise to annul her restrictions. We are assured from a correct commercial source, that flour was in that country, at the latest accounts, at ten dollars a barrel, which is four dollars above its average price since the accession of Napoleon.  At Bremen flour was ten dollars and a half a barrel, and rice nine dollars. At Nantz cotton is said to be eighty cents a pound, at Cadiz tobacco twenty dollars, at Amsterdam fifteen dollars. [ Nat. Intel. ]  The legislature of Georgia, at their last session, appropriated 150,000 dollars for the purchase of arms; and directed the State House and fort at Louisville to be reserved for a public arsenal.  His Br. M's brig Le Curieux, (18 guns) Capt. Sheriff, has had an engagement of three quarters of an hour, to windward of Barbadoes, with the French privateer La Ravanche, of 14 guns, 120 men—Captain Sheriff and 32 men killed.—The privateer was taken.
FALSE ALARM. The moment it was reported that Algiers had declared war against the United States, the Federalists began to abuse our government on that account. No misfortune, no outrageous act of foreign turbulence can be promulgated without the President's being pronounced the grand instigator. What was the reason given for the war threatened by the Algerines? Because the annual tribute by treaty due to them from this country had not been received. Why was it not duly delivered to the enraged Dey? Because the ship, which was bound from this country with the stores for Algiers, was attacked, disabled and compelled to return to Norfolk and rest, by the dastardly conduct of Britain. Why was not the Chesapeake immediately dispatched to the Mediterranean after she was repaired? Because the British Admiral who violated the laws of hospitality, threatened to bombard our seaports and restrain our commerce, even in our own waters. Why was our naval force recalled from the Mediterranean? Because British baseness warranted a belief that we should want it here to defend our country, and if it remained might become the property of England in the same honorable way with that of Denmark. Presumptuous and despicable wretches, who strive to stain the unspotted reputation of JEFFERSON, with the blood which pirates have caused to flow—the one directly, the Algerines; and the other indirectly, the British. Federal effrontery begs all description. Not satisfied with having denounced the murderers of our fellow-citizens and our national honor; stigmatizing the Executive for endeavoring in a dignified manner to seek and command redress; but those very grievances, which are the result of the unwarrantable attack on the Chesapeake, must also be placed on the President's shoulders! Madness and folly appears to reign triumphant in every act of Federalism. The most incredulous cannot be deceived by the repeated absurdities and falsehoods which those characters endeavor to palm on the public, if they have sufficient capacity to compare the declarations of one week with those of the one ensuing. [ Eastern Argus. ]
Let any man consider what principles were sacrificed to maintain peace with Britain; what rights were abandoned by treaty; what baleful corruption was practised in Blount's conspiracy —in Miranda's conspiracy —in Burr's conspiracy —and in another conspiracy going on at this moment, and to promote which a noted federalist from the south failed for England a few weeks ago; when all these things are recollected and considered, it is really astonishing that there can be found any man or any paper, pretending to be an American, found so base as to apologise for the perpetrators of the outrage on the Chesapeake and the authors of the late British proclamation. [ Aurora. ]  [We understand that this federalist has failed in a British packet from N.Y. in company with Swartwout, perhaps to negotiate for a British fleet off the mouth of the Mississippi. The nation that would attempt to corrupt the Indians at Detroit, would not hesitate to employ corrupt traitors at New-Orleans.] [ Ed. Enq. ]  We have received Halifax papers to the 19th ult. In the late papers we find an address, presented to vice-admiral Berkley, from the house of assembly, of the province of Nova-Scotia, expressive of their "high respect, esteem and gratitude for his services to the country." In ad. Berkley's reply, dated Dec. 17, we notice the following extraordinary assertion—"As yet, I have no official intelligence of my removal from this command." [ Nat. Int. ]
What subject will our charitable gentry find next, with which to gull their credulous hearers. No Algerine war—Monsieur Turreau, "with his whiskers," still at Washington—Mr. Rose received, and even treated civilly —and our "poor Mechanics," "poor laborers,"—and "poor seamen"—not yet "starved." [ Democrat. ]  The report from Washington, under date of January 29, is, that Mr. Rose having offered to our government an explanation on the affair of the Chesapeake, with which the latter was satisfied, had requested that the proclamation of the President prohibiting all British armed vessels from entering the waters of the United States might be rescinded: that our government has refused to comply with this request, and that in consequence, the discussions on other points were at a stand—The above is contained in a letter from a member of Congress, and as such we give it to our readers without comment. [ Phil. Gaz. ]  During the sitting of the Superior Court in this town, Friday and Saturday last were occupied with the important trial of Capt. Nathaniel Morrill, of Chichester, for passing a counterfeit seven dollar bank bill.—The Solicitor Mr. Walter, and Messrs. Green and Wolster, (the Attorney General being indisposed) were counsel for the State, and Messrs. Mason and Carrigain, for Capt. Morrill.—The cause was very ably managed by the counsel on both sides. After a fair and impartial trial the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty." We congratulate Capt. Morrill and his friends on his honorable acquittal.  BARUCH CHASE , Esquire, of Hopkinton, is appointed Solicitor for the county of Hillsborough.  FIRE —Between 20 and 30 Houses, stores, &c. have been destroyed at Peterburg, Virginia.  .....DIED..... In Canton, (N. Y.) Miss Sayre, an amiable young lady, perished by fire, with 3 brothers and sisters, in the same house. In Newmarket, William Boardman, Esq. Attorney at Law, aged 28.
Several letters from Washington state, that the British frigate Staturira , was immediately to return to England, leaving Mr. Rose at the seat of government. If this should prove true, it will certainly be no unfavorable augury to the negotiation. [ Phil. Gaz. ]  A letter from Washington of the 4th inst. written by a member of Congress, states that nothing had transpired there respecting the negotiation with Mr. Rose, and that the members of Congress are in fact as ignorant respecting it, as when Mr. Rose arrived at Norfolk. Surely if the negotiation had been broken off, or at a stand, the members of Congress could not be unacquainted with the fact. [ Chronicle. ]  The following is an extract of a letter from a member of Congress, to the editor of the Dover Sun , dated Washington, January 31, 1808.
DEAR SIR, The present moment is a very important one to the interest of our country—The negotiation with Mr. Rose has been opened more than ten days, and altho' the progress it may have made be not certainly known, yet I am sorry to say the general sentiment here is that a WAR is inevitable. Whether this opinion be founded on Cabinet information or not, I am not able to decide, but the earnest belief is that the English, for a long time have been seeking an occasion of war with us for the sake of plunder—that the attack on the Chesapeake was premeditated (disavowal thereof to the contrary notwithstanding) and that the business of Mr. Rose here, is not to make reparation for that injury, but to lull us into security till the return of Spring shall afford an opportunity of successfully attacking us. It is believed that he has demanded a rescission of the proclamation interdicting British ships of war, as preliminary to any proposition he has to make—What is to be inferred from all this? The instant the proclamation be rescinded a strong squadron of British ships will possess itself of our waters, calculated, on the one hand, to awe us into submission to their own terms—but failing in this, they would immediately seize upon their prey.  Thus much for opinions and conjectures—should these be realized, all would acknowledge the wisdom of the EMBARGO; but should they fail of ripening into realities, that measure, by timely withdrawing from the merciless grasp of the enemy the principal inducement to war, will prove the only means of averting the storm. A very few days must, in some measure, relieve our anxiety.  The little leaven which remains of a former administration, is decidedly in favor of the British, this is certainly a great evil: But I assure you that an immense majority of all descriptions of men among us have an unshaken confidence in, and attachment to the government; which, I doubt not, will be able to stand amid all the assaults of her enemies, as firm as the hills.
The Governor and Council have appointed Thursday, seventh April next, to be observed as a day of Fasting and Prayer thro' out this State.

HONEST ROBERT THE PATRIOT.
At the foot of yon hill, mark that mansion so gray, How tranquil! how neat it appears, There dwells honest Robert, past times are away.
Honest Robert was brave, and on Lexington's plains Shew'd courage and conduct and gain'd much renown; But quoth he, as long as an enemy remains, The arms of young Robert shall near be laid down.
Then brave honest Robert return'd to the town, Where first his eyes open'd on day, To recount to his parents the deeds he had done.
Honest Bob dropp'd a tear, and new sodded their grave, When sought for the love of his youth, He found her, he wou'd her, her heart she soon gave.
Lo! mark where they come the two sons of the brave Honest Robert, march to the parade, Around them Columbia her island shall wave.
These swords, mark them well, this, your brave uncle bore, I saw him at Monmouth expire: That, through the whole contest your old father wore.
Lo! yonder he comes in the pride of his heart, The Legion to view in the field: Each motion, the mem'ry of past joys impart, He pants where their weapons they wield.
We have been greatly favored [says the editor of the Essex Register] by the bill of mortality for Portsmouth, N.H. for 1807, by Lyman Spalding, M.D. The attention which this gentleman has paid to this subject, and his success and accuracy, have made his example worthy of imitation, and have given a value to his communications.
