A Mental Feast.
Question. Does not the human mind require mental food, as much as the natural appetite does bodily sustenance? Answer. Certainly it does.
Well then, C. PIERCE, has just served up one of the most delicious feasts for the mind, ever presented to the Citizens of New-Hampshire. It is composed of rarities from various climes, and he is happy to observe that the Substantials are mostly the produce or manufacture of his own country. He anticipates giving satisfaction to all classes of people, from the most refined and delicate, to the most nervous and masculine appetites.
His dishes are sorted in the following order, viz. 1st. Divinity; 2d. Law; 3d. Physic; 4th. History; 5th. Geography; 6th. Navigation; 7th. Voyages; 8th. Travels; 9th. Biography; 10th. Husbandry; 11th. Poetry; 12th. Novels; 13th. Classics; 14th. School Books; 15th. Picture Books; 16th. Stationary; and 17th. as a dessert, he begs leave to offer a few handsome Secretaries, or Gentlemen and Ladies (near mahogany) writing DESKS, from 39 to 60/ each.
His whips, creams, and sullabubs, consist of a beautiful variety of Gentlemen, and Ladies elegant morocco Pocket-Books, silver edg'd, and with instruments; neat and common morocco Purse, from 20 to 150 cents each, some very handsome—Also, a few Thread Cases, and Bodkins, separate.
As an Afterpiece, He has an agreeable variety of fashionable Segar, Tobacco and Snuff Boxes, in different forms, such as peaches, rare-ripened plums, pears, &c.
To Conclude, He would recommend one other dish, which has a very salutary and salubrious effect, after a bountiful feast, that is, the application of a fine soft Brush, dipped in a little nice Tooth Powder just imported, and sold for 37 1/2 cents per box.
The belt of attendance will be provided, and every thing served up in superb style; and they who partake of the ordinary that will cost but one cent, will receive his thanks, no less than they who dine or sup on the most sumptuous fare.

EVIL SPEAKING.
Messrs. PIERCE'S.
I am pleased to find a continuation in your last, in that most striking and affecting extract from STERNE. I was lately perusing the same subject from a sincere disposition, to hunt out this slanderous vice, that now characterizes this formerly happy town. The Moralist, Divine or Philosopher might trace this horrible evil "to a rage for getting of property," in influential persons. I should be sorry to have the invidious task of the application. I fell in with a Magazine from the Southward, that has the following sentences. It is not of a piece with Sterne; yet there is great justice and satire as well as consolation to be perceived in it.
SLANDER.
"Slander the worst of poison, ever finds, An easy entrance in ignoble minds."
AMIDST the many vices with which the present age is contaminated, none appears of such dangerous tendency as that of slander, and considering the universality of its sway, none more deserving the scourge of the moralist.
How often have innocence and virtue been trodden under foot by this most detestable of vices!—How often has the fate of a poor forlorn stranger been decided over a "cup of tea" or a "glass of wine"!—How often has the bud of genius been destroyed by the chilling frosts of cold disdain! Gracious God! Is it possible that a human being can be so far lost to sense and feeling?—Is it possible that any one can be pleased with such savage brutality?—Yes it is too true,—the manes of injured innocence call loudly upon their calumniators, and it is high time that this lurking serpent should be dispelled from society.
One fruitful source of vice, arises merely from an "idle, desultory" turn of mind. If mankind would pay more attention to their own affairs and conduct, they perhaps would not find so much time to investigate the characters and conduct of others.—This class of society conceive it beneath them to "think at all;" careless as to the embellishments of either mind or body, their chief delight is in "laughing from morn to morn" and decrying the characters of others, for such is their envy and spleen, that they cannot endure the idea of others possessing virtues and qualifications which they themselves were too idle to acquire. Happy would it be for mankind at large, as well as for individuals themselves, if, instead of this
kind of employment, they should learn to study and converse upon the useful. Nothing can be more insipid and irksome to a mind of sensibility, than to be obliged to hear the modern "teatable chat," which merely consists of declamation, at the expence of some absent person: misrepresentation and abuse are the necessary accomplishments, and you are considered as a strange and severe kind of being, unless you can, not only contribute your quota, but also subscribe to all they say, and ten to one but they will take the first opportunity to strip you, and leave you as bare and naked of virtues as themselves.
What such characters can propose to themselves, by such a mode of conduct, I am at a loss to determine: it certainly can be productive of no advantage, but on the contrary is a direct path to infamy and reproach, for however virtue may be crushed by their cruel and ungenerous conduct, yet the cannot be totally overcome, and the time will certainly arrive when they will have reason to dread their rising power; every virtuous mind will look upon them with disdain, and like "proud man" they will at last fall a just sacrifice to their own devices.
The difficulty of forming a true judgment of the conduct of others, is a powerful argument against such a practice. An action at first light may appear highly improper, and perhaps very criminal, yet may be very justifiable when all the circumstances are known, and until the motives be ascertained, we cannot possibly decide whether it be criminal or not, much less the degree of it.
It is also the most destructive as it relates to society; it not only sets individuals but families, states, and even nations together by the ears.
There is no injury to which men can be subjected, that can hold any kind of comparison with that their character may sustain. "He that steals my purse" (says the immortal Bard) "steals trash—but he that fleches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enriches him, but makes me poor indeed." Indeed it is a crime that is almost unpardonable: reputation is a tender flower, and slow of growth; it is perhaps the toil of many years; and to have it blasted in one hour by some unfeeling wretch!—at an evening's visit! over a cup of tea or a glass of wine!—it is too much—blush ye unhewn brutes—behold sensibility weeping over the ruin you have occasioned!—may the arrow of fell remorse, leave the rankling venom in such flinty hearts, may all the pangs they have occasioned others, returns with double torture to themselves, and like the sword of the destroying angel, leave neither root nor branch of such a tribe of gloomy assassins.
When alas, will the age of reason and philanthropy return!—when shall virtue raise her depressed head!—I weep, for, "I am a man, and all calamities that touch Humanity, come home to me."
Late Foreign Intelligence
From European papers to the 18th May—received by the governor Strong, Capt. Stinson, from Liverpool, via Boston.
Order of things in FRANCE.
PARIS, MAY 7, 1802.
YESTERDAY three Orators of the Government repaired to the Legislative Body, when Berlier, read the following Message, signed by the First Consul:—
CITIZENS LEGISLATORS! GOVERNMENT has laid before you the treaty which puts an end to the late dissensions in Europe, and completes the grand work of Peace. The Republic combated for its independence—its independence is acknowledged; the avowal of all Powers confers the rights it held from nature, and the limits which it acquired by its victories. Another Republic has been formed in the middle of it—it has become penetrated with its principles, and has resumed at its source the ancient spirit of the Gauls. Attached to France by the remembrance of a common origin, by common institutions, and above all by the bond of benefits received, the Italian Republic has assumed its rank among the Powers as well as among our allies: It will maintain itself there by its courage, and distinguish itself by its virtues. Batavia restored to a unity of interests, emancipated from that double influence which tormented its councils, which mixed its policies, has resumed its independence, and finds in the Nation which conquered it the most faithful guarantee of its existence and rights. The wisdom of its Administration will preserve its splendour, and the active economy of its citizens will restore to it its prosperity.
The Helvetic Republic, acknowledged abroad, is still agitated at home by factions, which dispute with each other for power. The Government, faithful to its principles, could not exercise over an independent nation any other influence than that of counsel: Its counsel hitherto has been ineffectual, but it still hopes that the voice of wisdom and moderation will be heard, and that the Powers bordering on Helvetia will not be forced to interfere to suppress troubles, the continuation of which might threaten their own tranquility. The Republic, consistent with its engagements and fidelity to Spain, was obliged to make every effort to preserve the integrity of its territory. This duty it has discharged throughout the whole course of the negotiation with all the energy which circumstances would permit. The King of
Spain has acknowledged the fidelity of his Allies, and has generously made that sacrifice which they endeavoured to prevent. By this conduct he acquires a new right to the attachment of France, and a sacred title to the gratitude of Europe. The return of commerce already consoles his States for the calamities of the war, and an enlivening spirit will soon convey to his vast possessions new activity and new industry. Rome, Naples, and Etruria are restored to repose, to the arts and to peace. Lucca, under a constitution which has united all minds and extinguished hatred, has recovered tranquility and independence. Liguria, amidst the silence of party, has laid down the principles of its organization; and Genoa sees commerce and riches re-enter its ports.
The Republic of the Seven Islands is still, like Helvetia, a prey to anarchy: but, in concert with France, the Emperor of Russia is to send thither the troops he had at Naples to carry with them the only benefits wanting to these happy countries, tranquility, the reign of the laws, oblivion of hatred and faction.
Thus Europe, from the one extremity to the other, sees tranquility revived both by land and by sea; and its happiness reposing on the union of the great powers, and on the faith of treaties. In America, the known principles of the Government have restored the most perfect security to Martinique, Tobago, and St. Lucia. The empire of those imprudent laws, which would have produced in these colonies devastation and death, is no longer dreaded. Their only defect now is to unite themselves to the mother country; and they bring back to it, with their confidence, and attachment, a prosperity at least, equal to that which it before enjoyed. At St. Domingo, great evils have taken place, and great misfortunes are to be repaired; but the revolt is every day more and more repressed. Toussaint, without places of strength, without treasure, and without an army, is now only a brigand, wandering from Morne to Morne, with a few brigands like himself, whom our intrepid sharpshooters are in pursuit of, and whom they must soon come up with and destroy.
The peace is known at the Isle of France and in India.—The first cares of the Government have already excited there a love of the Republic, confidence in its laws, and every hope of prosperity.
Many years will now elapse for us without victories, without triumphs, and without those splendid negotiations which settle the destiny of States; but the existence of nations, and in particular that of the Republic, must be marked with other successes. Industry is every where awaking, and every where are the arts and commerce uniting to efface the misfortunes of war. Manufactures of every kind engage the attention of Government. The Government will discharge this new task with success, as long as it shall be invested with the opinion of the French people.
The year about to elapse, will it is true, be less celebrated, but the happiness of France will increase the chances of glory which it may have diffused.
(Signed) BONAPARTE.
Chabot de l'Allier observed—"Citizens Tribunes! Among all nations public honours and national rewards have been decreed to those men, who, by splendid actions have done honour to their country, or saved it from great perils. What man had ever more right to national gratitude than General BONAPARTE? What man, either at the head of Armies, or at the head of Government, will do more honour to his country, and render it more signal service? His valour and genius have saved the French people from the excesses of anarchy, from the furies of war; and these people are too great and too magnanimous to leave so much glory, and so many benefits unrequited. Let us, Tribunes, be their organs—to us in particular, it belongs to make a beginning, when it is necessary to express, on so memorable an occasion, the sentiments and will of the People. I propose that the Tribunate should decree as follows: The Tribunate expresses a wish that there may be given to General BONAPARTE, First Consul of the Republic, some striking mark of the national gratitude."
The Tribunate agreed, that this wish should be transmitted by a messenger of State to the Conservative Senate, the Legislative Body, and the Government. The proposal was unanimously adopted.
A deputation of 15 Members of the Tribunate went on the 7th to the Government Palace at two o'clock. They were immediately introduced to an audience of the Consuls.
The Orator of the Deputation, Simeon, addressed the Consuls in a speech, in which he took a review of all that had been done by Government, and informed the Chief Consul of the wish expressed by the Tribunate to bestow a national recompence upon him.
BONAPARTE made the following reply:—"The Government is deeply impressed with the sentiments you have expressed in the name of the Tribunate. The justice which you render to their operations, is the sweetest recompence of their labours. They see in it the result of those more intimate communications which place you in a situation to appreciate better the purity of their views and their thoughts. For myself, I receive with the most sensible gratitude the wish expressed by the Tribunate. I desire no other glory than that of having completely fulfilled the task imposed upon me. I am ambitious of no other recompence than the affection of my fellow citizens; happy, if they are well
convinced that the evils which they may experience will always be the deepest evils to me; that life is dear to me only for the services I can render to the country; and that death itself will have no sting if my last looks can see the prosperity of the Republic as confirmed as her glory."
LONDON, MAY 19. THE Paris Papers of Sunday, which we received this morning, do not contain any news of much importance. The French Government is said to be very much occupied in making commercial arrangements, and in examining the different memorials that have been laid before them upon the subject of commerce.
The correspondence between France, Austria, Russia and Prussia, is at present extremely active.
The French Funds remain steady 57 1/10th.
PARIS, MAY 8. Gen. Menou is arrived at Paris, and has been presented to the First Consul who gave him the most distinguished reception.
General Menou said to him—"Consul, in presenting myself before you, the grief of having seen your fairest conquest lost, is renewed."
"The fate of battles," replied the First Consul, "is uncertain. You have done all that could, after the unfortunate day of the 30th, be expected from a man of experience and talent. Your long residence at Alexandria contributed to the good issue of the Preliminaries of London. Your good and wise administration has merited the esteem of all men who appreciate its influence upon the public prosperity."
"I know very well what has passed in your army. Your misfortunes have been great without doubt, but they have not lost you any of my esteem; and I shall be eager to tell it openly, in order that no clamor may be raised against your conduct."
Addresses from all parts to government against exclusive privileges demonstrate that the freedom or trade is now the universal wish; a wish that is not founded upon the mercantile speculations of some individuals, but upon the interests of the majority which must give to it the character of a general will, the basis of all the laws of a free state. The government has solemnly recognized these principles, in excepting the coral fishery on the coasts of Africa from the exclusive privilege, which localities indispensably required should be granted to a company, for the commerce of grain in Barbary.
A new memorial from the council and commerce of Bordeaux inveighs against the exclusive right enjoyed formerly at the ports of L'Orient and Toulon, of receiving vessels, arriving from India, which might unload their cargoes, there deposit them in magazines, and sell them there, whilst that privilege was forbidden to all the other ports. It is demonstrated in this memorial in an evident manner, that the suppression of this abusive privilege injures neither the interests of commerce in general, nor those of the proprietors of the rich produce of India, nor even those of the two hitherto privileged ports, to which the same facilities remain as are possessed by all commercial places, of carrying on the India trade, or any other, if they think it more lucrative.
"Commerce," say the authors of the Memorial, "cannot be active, if it be checked in its career; it cannot prosper, if it be vexed with niceties: checks produce discouragement; discouragement destroys industry. To simplify the necessary forms to, do away all unjust distinctions, to leave to all the citizens an equal liberty to explore the domain of national industry; this is all that commerce desires, and what it expects with confidence from the enlightened justice of the government."
The Municipality of Amsterdam have decreed, that the tree of liberty placed before the Town House, shall be taken away as soon as they have received officially the news of the exchange of the ratification of the Definitive Treaty.
LONDON, MAY 15. The moment is arrived, which a member of the Legislative body of France, Darracq, hinted to be some distance, for bestowing a mark of the national gratitude upon the Chief Consul. It was not whoever thought it could be, the acquisition of any part of the national domains that Bonaparte would consider as a sufficient recompence.—It is not a small part of France that he is ambitious of.—With our fifth Harry he may exclaim, "I love France to well, that I will not part with a village of it—I will have it all mine."
On Saturday last the Conservative Senate received by a Messenger of State from the Tribunate the vote which that body passed on the preceding day, expressing their wish to bestow a mark of the national gratitude upon Bonaparte. The Senate immediately passed a Senatus Consultum re-electing Bonaparte First Consul of the Republic for ten years, which shall immediately follow the ten years for which he has been already appointed. The Senatus Consultum was transmitted to the two Legislative Bodies and to the First Consul, who returned an answer which concludes with the following words: "In your judgement, I ought to make a fresh sacrifice for the good of the people; I shall do, if the will of the people commands, what your suffrage authorises me to do."
The colleagues of Bonaparte, however, in the Consulate, seem to have considered this decree of the Conservative Senate as not sufficiently extensive. On Monday last they issued a decree directing an appeal to be made to the people upon this question—SHALL NAPOLEON BONAPARTE BE CONSUL FOR LIFE?
Registers are opened to receive the answers of the people in each Commune, and are to continue open for three weeks.
It is easy to predict the answer that will be returned. There is a rumour in circulation that the title will be changed from that of Chief Consul of the French Republic, to that of Consul of the Gauls.
The Legislative Body, though they had only three days before sanctioned the declaration of Darracq's that the moment was not arrived, declared through the organ of their President as soon as they received the Senatus Consultum , that they perfectly approved the moderate reward proposed to be conferred upon Bonaparte.
MAY 17. It was yesterday reported that some French ships, in our ports, have been denied permission to discharge their cargoes of French wines and brandies. This prohibition is made in realisation on the French for refusing to allow some English ships lately at Bordeaux to land English goods. Several representations have passed between M. Otto and our government on this subject.
MAY 18. This morning we received Paris journals to the 15th inst. The Legislative Body is doing every thing to hasten the election of the first Consul for life. As they cannot vote as a body, a plan has been devised to enable them to vote individually, without taking the trouble of a journey to their own departments.
Yesterday the admiralty was crowded with several hundred navy officers widows, who attended to be sworn as to their being widows previous to their receiving their pensions the ensuing pay day; and what has been so long talked of is at length to take place, namely, an augmentation of their pittance of 20l a year to 30l.
Of Louisiana.
In the debate, in the British House of Commons, on the 13th May, 1802, on the question for taking into consideration the Definitive Treaty between Great-Britain, and the French Republic, Spain and Holland, Mr. Windham, alluding to the cession of Louisiana to France, said, "The power of the French in America gave them an immense influence over the American States." "We are," said he, "perfectly aware what a growing power the United States of America is; and if they are to be placed in the hands of France, surely there is more than ever occasion to be jealous."
Lord Hawkesbury, in reply to the above part of Mr. W's speech, said—
"An event which is supposed to have changed the nature of our negotiation, is the cession of Louisiana to France—on this point I would beg to call the attention of the House that I do not mean to consider it an indifferent object; but it would be recollected that Louisiana is an old French settlement, and that during the negotiation of the peace of 1713, which was generally thought the most triumphant peace this country had ever concluded, this settlement was privately transferred by France to Spain, and that transaction was much more gross than that now complained of, because Louisiana was referred to expressly by the treaty of 1763. As to the political advantages which France could derive from this possession, I doubt whether they can be of much consequence; but I have little doubt that they are not of such consequence as to have justified Ministers in rejecting the peace. Gentlemen have said a great deal of the influence which this possession threatens to give France over the United States of America. To this I shall mention, that it has been the policy of America since its separation from this country, to keep an equal balance between France and us—Such has been the system of Gen. Washington, and such is the system of the ablest Statesman in America at the present day. The probability therefore is, that the possession of Louisiana now rendering France the natural rival of America, every maxim of found policy will now incline her to cultivate a more intimate connection with this country; but my Right Hon. Friend apprehends that France would be enabled through this settlement to swallow up America; he very much under-rates the power, population, and spirit of the United States; for he should remember what efforts the Americans made, and with success too, alone and unaided, in the war of 1756, to resist the French, who were then in possession of Canada and Louisiana—when, therefore, the increase of American power since that period is considered, though the possession of Louisiana by the French may now be an object to excite their jealousy and caution, it by no means endangers the independence of Americans."
LONDON, MAY 14.
Yesterday came on, in the House of Commons, the interesting debate on the Definitive Treaty. Mr. Windham, who moved for the order of the day, attacked the treaty at great length, and with much ability. He strove to prove that the terms granted to France, were not warranted by necessity or policy; and that the Peace was degrading to England, and beneficial to France. He went minutely into the subject; and concluded by moving an address to his Majesty, stating, "That they had taken into their serious consideration the Definitive Treaty of Peace. That they would keep inviolate the public faith, as pledged in the engagements entered into by his Majesty, but that they could not help feeling regret at the nature of certain of those engagements, relying on his Majesty's paternal wisdom to take such measures as might avert the danger arising from such engagements, expressing their readiness to support his Majesty in such engagements as he should deem necessary for that purpose, and recommending to his Majesty to keep a naval and military power sufficient to meet such danger."
He was seconded by Lord Folkestone, who endeavoured to shew, that by the Treaty we have given our sanction, to jacobinical principles, deserted our allies, and abandoned our commercial advantages.
Lord Hawkesbury replied, at great length, and with intelligence.—He noticed every objection stated by the gentleman who had preceded him; and concluded with moving an amendment to the following effect: "That all the words after the word 'That,' as

it first occurred in the original motion to be omitted; that the House do approve of the Definitive Treaty as agreeable to the Preliminary Articles, that they have viewed with the greatest satisfaction the defeat of all perfidious attempts abroad, and traitorous designs at home—that they do congratulate his Majesty, that his dominions have been preserved entire, and that the wealth, commerce and trade of the country have been unimpaired and increased; that they are earnestly desirous to concur with his Majesty in promoting and rendering permanent the blessings of peace; that they, however, perfectly rely upon the wisdom and vigilance of his Majesty in adopting every measure which may be necessary to prepare for any vicissitude or change in the state of public affairs, and that the House are ready to support his Majesty in those assurances with their lives and properties, as in loyal and zealous a manner as during the late contest."
The debate continued until near 3 o'clock, in the morning; when a motion of adjournment was carried 185 to 137.
LONDON, MAY 15.
The debate on the Definitive Treaty were renewed yesterday, in the House of Commons. The treaty was advocated by Lord Cartlereach, and Mr. Addington; and animadverted on by Mr. Lawrence. "I have never thought" said Mr. Addington, of this treaty with exultation. I remain satisfied that I have done the best I could in my situation. I have not attempted to decorate it in false colors, nor varnish it over with deceitful glosses. I have yielded to prudence. I trust in God I never shall forget that no scale is so low as to induce us to submit to disgrace. Our honor constitutes our safety."
The question was taken, on the Address, as moved by Mr. Windham, which was negatived 276 to 20. Lord Hawkesbury's amendment was then put, and passed without a division.

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 28.
The Legislature of the Mississippi Territory have passed an act establishing a college to bear the name of "Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States." &c.—They have also addressed Mr. JEFFERSON, on the removal of their late Governor, WINthrop SARGENT, Esq.—In his answer to the Resolutions of the Legislature, of the 31st December, the President says—"The task of judging those whose conduct in office calls for it, is always painful; but the grounds of judgment in that case were such as to leave no room to doubt the line of duty I had to pursue. The testimony of the Legislature, founded in what themselves have seen and felt, confirm the justice of that judgment. I concur with them in intire confidence that our expectations from his successor will not be disappointed."
NEW-YORK, JUNE 26.
Capt. Rogers, of the fch't Sincerity, who arrived here yesterday, in 13 days from St. Croix, informs, that on his sailing, it was reported, that the French troops had completely conquered the negroes at Guadaloupe—and that 2000 blacks, who had bravely held out to the last hour, rather than surrender, joined hand in hand, in one of the fortifications, round the magazine, & blew themselves up.
BOSTON, JUNE 3.
Citizen Solin, as French Consul at Savannah; and Citizen Joseph Marie Lequinio Kerblay, as Consul at Newport, have been recognized by the President of the United States.
Admiral Villaret, now at Baltimore, is said to have been appointed Governor of Martinico. A French corvette has lately brought him directions to repair to Guadaloupe, there to remain until the English restore Martinico.
The United States frigate Constitution, which has been for some time repairing in this port, is ordered into ordinary; and the officers put on half pay.
Melancholy!—Mr. Jeremiah Tangong, of Bransborough, New Jersey, being exceedingly fond of his gun, taking it into his hand said in a joke to his wife, come out and I will learn you to exercise; upon which she took another gun into her hand that had been, without their knowledge, loaded by her brother, in order to shoot some crows. She carelessly held it in her hands, & when she attempted to snap it, it unfortunately went off, the whole load entered his head under his left eye, and went out just behind his right ear, and he fell lifeless at her feet. He was about 23 years of age, and she about 17; they had been married a fortnight the evening before. The distressing scene is not easily described, as an uncommon fondness had subsisted between them.
Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1802.
Latest from EUROPE.
By the Governor Strong, arrived at Boston, from Liverpool, we have received London dates to the 18th May.
The extracts we have this day made will show our readers, that BONAPARTE has been re-elected by the Conservative Senate—the members of which are in his nomination—First Consul for ten years immediately following the ten years for which he was self-appointed about three years since; and that the Government had further proposed, that the question should immediately be submitted to all the Citizens, "SHALL NAPOLEON BONAPARTE BE CONSUL FOR LIFE?" The Registers for the inscription of the votes on this question, were opened on the 14th May, at Paris, and were to be open seven days.—All the French papers applaud the measure as necessary to the security and glory of the French Government; and for the permanent tranquillity of all Europe. It is a fact, it occasioned the rise of the French funds nearly four per cent. The measure too, appears to meet the approbation of the British Ministry.
Accounts from the Italian Republic also mention, that a convocation of the three Electoral Colleges was to be held the 15th May at Milan, to decide on the question, shall BONAPARTE continue President of that Republic for life?
The Definitive Treaty has been debated with great warmth, in the British Parliament. It has been opposed, most violently, by some of the late Ministry. Mr. PITT, however, spoke in favor of it; and the Address of thanks therefor, to the King, passed in the House of Commons, by a majority of 276 to 20; and in the House of Lords, 122 to 16. In this debate in the Commons, when speaking of the cession of Louisiana to France, Lord HAWKESBURY complimented Mr. JEFFERSON, by calling him "the ablest Statesman in America;" and that it was his system of politics, as it had been that of General WASHINGTON, "to keep an equal balance between France and Great-Britain."
American Independence!
Yesterday the citizens of this town, no less emulous than those of the sister towns and States, to honor that ALL-IMPORTANT DAY, which gave INDEPENDENCE to AMERICA, celebrated the joyful anniversary of the ever to be remembered declaration of the Rights of Man, with every demonstration of joy and festivity.
This Twenty-seventh Anniversary of our GLORIOUS INDEPENDENCE, summoned together, at Jefferson-Hall in this town, as large and respectable a company of citizens as ever graced any board on any former occasion in this place. We were highly gratified in seeing many respectable characters from the country, who came into town on purpose to join the Patriots of Portsmouth, in their festive joy and mirth at this place, where, after placing the Hon. JOHN LANGDON, Esq. that tried Friend, Patriot and Statesman of our country, in the Chair—they surrounded the convivial board, on which was served up as elegant a dinner as could be provided; It was prepared by Mr. Joseph Tannson, and reflected the highest credit to his judgment and taste. After partaking of which, a number of excellent Songs were sung, and the following patriotic Toasts drank, and the day concluded in the most joyful and becoming manner.
TOASTS.
 1. The 4th of July, 1776, The birth day of Liberty.  2. The President of the United States, may the talents and virtues of a JEFFERSON, never be forgotten, nor Republicanism ever be dishonoured in America.  3. The Vice President.  4. The memory of the illustrious WASHINGTON.  5. The memories of those Heroes, who fell in our struggle for Liberty—may no dereliction of those principles for which they fought and bled, damp their joy in the realms of Glory.  6. The State of New-Hampshire, may she cease to follow the councils of her enemies, and to forget her tried friends.  7. The Militia of the United States, may their valour and discipline ever supersede the necessity of a standing Army.  8. Republicanism, may it rise above the weeds that grow around it, and be as durable as the mountain Oak.  9. The Human Intellect, may the clouds of ignorance and the mist of superstition be dispersed by the Sun of Reason.  10. The true Republican who conquers the hearts of his Fellow Citizens by his clemency and moderation at the moment that he defeats the designs of the factious by his penetration and firmness.  11. May the Man who can doubt in the principles of Republicanism, be brought to conviction by the errors of Aristocracy.  12. The growth of Republicanism in New-Hampshire.  13. May we ever hold in grateful remembrance, all those who persevere in generous endeavours to promote the welfare of our country.  14. May all those who for sordid interest, endeavour to betray their Country, meet the same fate with their predecessor, the grand Traitor Judas.  15. May the Heavenly Spirit of Philanthropy, pervade and actuate the Intellectual, as the Electrical fluid does the Corporal World.  16. The Citizens of Portsmouth, may their active zeal in the cause of Freedom encourage others to follow their laudable example.  17. The American Fair, may they be blessed with patriotic Hearts, and Republican Husbands. 
A Volunteer Toast.
That venerable disciple and follower of St. Luke, the Physician, who went about doing good, May the waters of Saratoga heal and restore the MAN, and return him to the Bosom of his anxious Family and surrounding friends.
The following appropriate Song from the pen of JOHN WENTWORTH, Esq. was sung and repeated with enthusiasm.
ALL hail to the day that bids us display Our liberties, charters our rights in a way That inspires our hearts at liberty's call, To celebrate praises in JEFFERSON HALL.
This day to Columbia so great and so dear, The hearts of Americans ever will cheer, That did tyrants o'erthrow, and Tories appall, And brings us together in JEFFERSON HALL.
That man so rever'd, so virtuous, so great, Who sav'd a whole people—and then sav'd the State; By wisdom and firmness: 'tis him we extol, And hug Jefferson's praises thro' JEFFERSON HALL.
Our lov'd Constitution we swear to defend, Till terror's put down, and time have no end, Against armies of Judges; make Tories fine Small; Whilst triumphs resound in JEFFERSON HALL.
Let envy, let malice, let faction retire; Republican virtues our bosoms inspire, Would you know how they flourish in us one and all, You have only to join us in JEFFERSON HALL.
A Party at Hampton.
A number of respectable inhabitants, accompanied with their wives, resorted in carriages to Dearborn's Tavern, at Hampton, where they partook of an excellent entertainment previously provided for the occasion, and passed the day in the greatest conviviality and joy.
Bridge Party.
A number of gentlemen of this town dined at Shapouil's Tavern, at Piscataqua Bridge, where we heard a number of Toasts were drank and A SONG sung.
KINE-POX vs. SMALL-POX.
On Friday last Masters Charles & Robert Yeaton, George Manent, John Rinaldo and Peter M. Lord, all of whom had had the Kine-Pox, under the direction of Dr. SPALDING, were by him inoculated for the Small-Pox, at Hospital Island, from Mr. WEST, a seaman, labouring under the Small-Pox by casual infection. These young masters are to remain in the Hospital a sufficient time to effectually test the preventive power of the Kine-Pox.
Malicious Oracle.
WE are very much surprised at a long found about revival of a subject in the last Oracle, wherein that paper was completely confuted in their wanton attack upon the purity of our motives, the integrity of our principles, and the distinguished Impartiality of our Paper, a ground we set out upon, and have successfully maintained—For the present we shall content ourselves by only noticing a most barefaced impudent Lie, "That the Senior Editor was indemnified for any loss they might suffer by a change of Principles—no such conversation was ever had at any time with any person, and we challenge the author of such an infamous falsehood, to make good his assertion."
We have great reason to exult, and shall fashion our remarks as we please, without being instructed by the Lying Oracle!
Acknowledgment to Correspondents.
SOME frictions by a Citizen, on the late choice of a Senator for this State in Congress, have been received. However just his observations, we think them too personal for publication. If through the subtlety and intrigue of certain noted Characters, the Legislature has been led to an injudicious selection, we know of no constitutional remedy; in the power of the people to administer. If in the opinion of any, the State suffers disgrace, will it not discover prudence to moan over misfortune in silence, until by lapse of time, or the intervention of some propitious event, we shall be favored with an opportunity to repair our wounded honour?
Bill of Mortality.
At Exeter, after a very long and distressing illness, Mrs. Hannah Gilman, wife of John W. Gilman, Esq. At Greenland, Mrs. Lucy Brackett, in the 78th year of her age, the worthy consort of Deacon James Brackett; eminent in all the virtues which form the christian character. In this town, Mr. John Pendexter.

Miscellaneous Repository. Reflection in a Grave Yard. HERE lie alike the poor and great, The beggar and the monarch too; Where now is all the pomp of state, The wealth which crowds of flatterers drew!
Tell me, thou tenant of the clod, Tho' thy proud marble rears so high, Do'st thou rest easier 'neath the sod Than this neglected beggar by? Say, will the worm that preys on thee, Neglect his yet unfinish'd meal, And purely out of reverence flee, And to some meaner banquet steal? Learn, mortal, this, tho' nature may, For sport make beggars, lords and kings, Tis but the difference of a day; The grave an equilibrium brings. Man, while thy few remaining lands Are falling from thee, one by one, Remember that the hour-glass stands, Its silent course no more to run.
Moralist.
DEATH is filled the king of terrors, And is said to be a terror to kings.— The thought of dissolution and entering into an unknown state, fills the mind with hor- ror, and spreads a gloom on all surrounding objects; it calls up the attention of the care- less, and secure, and creates the keenest anxieties in the breast, where peace and qui- et were wont to reign. Those things, which in a state of health were the idols of the heart—yielded joy and consolation—made the countenance smile, and the soul rejoice; in the first hours of departure, afford no re- lief to the troubled mind.—In that solemn moment wealth loses its intrinsic value, and the choicest of minds are but miserable comforters.—The world appears a phantom, honor and promotion a dream.—Without a conscientious life of piety, and a well founded hope of an immortal crown of glo- ry, the soul reluctantly leaves this tenement of clay and bids the summons an unwelcome approach.

ON BEAUTY. From a letter to a Young Lady. THE beauty of the lady you alluded to, was her misfortune. It inspired her with an immoderate vanity, and that vanity paved the way to her ruin. It dug the grave, in which her peace and character are now en- tombed. And after all my dear girl, what is this beauty? it is a little clay, cast in an elegant mould, and by the hand of an exquisite arti- st, into something of symmetry and order. It is a small mixture, in the cheek, of roses and carnations.
But who needs to be informed that clay is very perishable, that roses and carnations are, but for summer moments, and that af- terward there comes a long autumn of sick- ness, or a still more dreary winter of infir- mity and old age?
How transient are the power and duration of beauty! How very light an accident or disease blasts it forever! How fatal is a fe- ver, the small pox, or a little corroding grief to all its allurements! and if they do not perish sooner, how dreadfully are they rav- aged by the hand of time;
Whilst summer lasts, a few fluttering in- sects light upon its lips, to sip the sweets. Some fragile birds of passage chirp upon the neighboring spray, delighted with a view of the amiable object. The notice is en- chanting, and the imagination promises that it shall be eternal. But the first storm that comes, alas! these feathered songsters migrate to warmer climates, and a fiercer sky, leaving all its withered charms to perish in neglect!
How ridiculous is the girl, who wilfully swallows the poison of slavery for any per- sonal charms, and in the height of her in- toxication, can be insolent or conceited! What woman of spirit should not aspire to qualities, that are less accidental and less sub- ject to change! What woman of reflection should not resolve to adorn and cultivate a mind, whose treasures may be inexhaustible, and whose attractions never die?
I pity every girl whom nature has gifted with a very pretty face. She seems, by the very act, to have marked her out for trials and temptations, and our strength is not al- ways in proportion to our conflicts.
Most of the unfortunate ladies I have known, have been celebrated for their beauty. This has gathered all the worthless of our sex about them; and called them into battle, if they have not fallen, they have general- ly received considerable scars.
Beautiful women, flushed with conquest, often neglect the necessary cultivation of their heart and understanding; and if every man would examine himself seriously, and was required to give a list of the females he most respected, the prettiest, I believe, would not generally be in the number.
CURIOSU UKASE.
A Very remarkable Ukase was published by the Emperor Alexander the latter end of last month. It establishes pecuniary pun- ishments both for Judges, who deliver unjust sentences, as for private persons who bring unjust actions. The Judges and Secretaries will be required to pay for each decision that shall be annulled by a superior tribunal, five per cent upon the whole sum in dispute.
He who shall bring unjust complaints or maintain unjust actions, shall pay, in the first instance, five per cent; in the second, ten; in the third twenty per cent upon the whole sum so unjustly litigated. The Ukase concludes in the following terms: "More- over, if in the end there be found Judges and Secretaries who carry the forgetfulness of their duties so far as not to amend after repeated punishments for unjust sentences, and who fall again into the same fault, they shall besides being subjected to a pecuniary penalty, be dismissed from their functions; and if they practise openly injustice and partiality, they shall lose not only their pla- ces, but be subjected to ulterior examination and punishment, conformable to the laws."
