Late Foreign Intelligence, BY THE LATE ARRIVALS.
Proclamation of PEACE.
LONDON, APRIL 29. PEACE was proclaimed this morning. At half-past ten o'clock, the different officers, under the jurisdiction of the Lord Chamberlain, viz. the Officers at Arms, the Serjeant Trumpet, Trumpeters, Drums, and Drum Major, assembled at the Stable yard, St. James's. The Officers at Arms belonging also to the Herald Office, being habited in their respective dresses, and mounted, the procession moved from the Stable yard to the Palace-gate where Windsor Herald read His Majesty's Proclamation aloud. The procession then moved on to Charing Cross, in the following order:
 Two Dragoons.  Two Artillery Men with axes in their bands.  Two Trumpeters.  Horse guards, six abreast.  Beadles.  Constables.  High Constables.  High Bailiff.  Two Troops of Horse Guards—Six abreast.  Knights Marshalmen.  Band of Music.  Heralds, Horseguards on each side, Horseguard. 
At Charing-Cross the procession arrived about twelve o'clock, and Norry King of Arms, read the Proclamation in the same manner as at the Palace Gate. The Heralds then proceeded along the Strand to Temple Bar, where they arrived at half past twelve o'clock. The gate had been previously closed (a service, we should suppose, of some little difficulty and nicety). The Lord Mayor, Recorder, Alderman, Sheriffs, &c. were within side the Bar—Rogue Dragoon, the Pursuivant of Arms, accompanied by two Horse Guards, rode up to the gate—the trumpets then blew three blasts "so deep, so loud," and the Pursuivant knocked at the gate.
CITY MARSHAL, from within—Who comes there? PURSUIVANT.—The officer at Arms, who demand entrance into the city to publish His MAJESTY's Proclamation of Peace.
The gates were then opened, and the Pursuivant was admitted alone. The gates were immediately shut. The Pursuivant was then conducted to the LORD MAYOR to whom he shewed His MAJESTY's warrant, which his Lordship immediately read and returned, ordering the City Marshall to open the gates. The Pursuivant then returned to the procession, which entered Temple Bar, the Officers of Westminster leaving it, and returning in the Order in which they went. The following Order was then observed:—
 The Volunteer Corps of the city.  Horse Guards.  Knights Marshal's men, two & two.  Drums.  Trumpets.  Sergeant Trumpeter.  Pursuivants of Arms.  Heralds.  Serjeants at Arms.  Four Constables together.  Six Marshal-men, 3 and 3, on foot.  Six Trumpeters, three and three.  Band of Music.  Two Marshals on horseback.  Two Sheriffs on horseback.  Sheriff officers on horseback.  Porter, in a Lord Mayor's black gown, on horseback.  Beadle.  Household, on foot.  Six Footmen in rich liveries, three & three.  State Coach with 6 horses, with ribbands, &c.  Aldermen in seniority, in their coaches.  Carriages of the two Sheriffs.  Officers of the City in carriages, in seniority.  Horse Guards. 
The Lord Mayor was mounted on a beautiful white horse belonging to His Majesty, which he bosted extremely well.
At the corner of Chancery-lane, the Proclamation was read a fourth time by the Somerset Herald and the procession moved on to the end of Wood-street, where it was again read. At the Royal Exchange it was read for the last time.
The procession proceeded round by the pump at Aldgate, returned up Gracechurch street, and formed opposite the Mansion-House to receive his Majesty's thanks presented by the Lord Mayor. Never did we see the streets more crowded, nor the windows, scaffolding, roofs, &c. ornamented with more beautiful or well-dressed women. Many persons had taken their seats very soon after day-break. Joy beamed in every eye—pleasure illuminated every face—beauty put on her most lovely looks to do honor to PEACE. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns were fired.

From a London paper, dated April 20.
The Prince in the City.
After Monday, the Lord Mayor of London gave an entertainment elegant and magnificent in the highest degree. The invitations were very numerous, and the company consisted of persons of the first distinction and fashion. The Prince of Wales with a numerous party of his friends, honoured the Lord Mayor with his company on the occasion, as did also the Dukes of Clarence, Cumberland, and Cambridge, and Prince William of Gloucester—the French Princes, and M. Otto. Just as the procession left Carleton-house, it was met by the gallant Nelson, who fell into the ranks and proceeded to the Mansion-house, under the banners of the Heir Apparent. The city-marshal, on horseback, met the royal party at Temple-bar, and before they came up a very great crowd was assembled. The Prince was received with repeated huzzas; and the populace, elated with the sight, took the horses from his carriage, and drew it all the way to the Mansion-house, while the windows all the way were crowded with beauties, waving handkerchiefs and saluting the Prince, who in return was extremely attentive and polite.
The Lord Mayor made every effort to do honour to the first visit of the Prince of Wales to the city, and to compliment the other royal guests, and the numerous and splendid company which honoured the Mansion-house with their presence. The Egyptian Hall, in which the company dined, was fitted up with great magnificence, and ornamented with the following figures and devices:
At the upper end was the word Peace in illumined lamps; underneath was placed a beautiful whole length painting of Apollo, and on each side portraits of Earl Howe and Viscount Nelson. A brilliant Crown, and the initials G. R. illuminated this part of the room. Opposite the entrance of the Hall was a figure of Britannia holding a shield, inscribed with the names of Howe, St. Vincent, Duncan, Nelson, and Warren. At the lower end, over the Music Gallery, was affixed another large transparency, representing the four quarters of the world worshipping Peace! Underneath the gallery was erected a triumphal arch lined with crimson, and illuminated, in the centre of which was the pedestal for the good old English fare, the Baron of Beef; on each side stood the carvers in their proper habiliments, and two serjeants belonging to his Lordship's regiment, were attired in their uniform. In the niches, on the right & left of the Hall, were whole length statuary figures of the Four Seasons, and also those of Faith, Hope, and Charity. The Goddess of Hope resting her hand on an anchor, and pointing the fore-finger of the other to Heaven, was admirably executed. The other statues were Pomona, with a cornucopia of flowers, and the figure of Liberty holding the cap on a spear in the right hand.
The principal table (in the form of a horseshoe) extended to the length of 90 feet. At the head of this table, where the Lord Mayor and his Lady sat, in their state chairs, was placed a beautiful rich colonnade, or Eastern colonnade, supported by thirty-two glass pillars of the Corinthian order, inlaid with gold, and ornamented with rich bullion-work, the whole supporting the Union devices of the three kingdoms, and emblazoned with military and naval emblems, and medallions of the British Admirals Howe, Duncan, St. Vincent, Hood, and Nelson; the four corners representing the trophies of Peace and Commerce. In the centre of this temple were placed the figures of the Muses, in Derbyshire china; over which was a dove descending with an olive branch in its mouth; to present it to them—and near to whom stood a lamb, as figurative of tranquility. The temple was also decorated with medallions of his Majesty, and the Royal Family. The summit of this beautiful edifice displayed a radiated glory, with three effulgent stars, appropriated also to the Union, superbly decorated with military and naval trophies. In the centre of the relieves of this table, were two beautiful pieces, supported by pillars of green chrysal, representing a ship manned and rigged, with little figures ascending the ropes to the main top to furl the sails, the edifice being supported at each corner by Dolphins, the water appearing as if it spouted from their mouths. The implements of war which adorned this structure were reversed from their former situation through the blessings of Peace! and the figures of Husbandry and Agriculture substituted in their place. A large Corinthian pedestal supporting a vase, in the centre of which was the figure of Hercules destroying the hydra. The figure of fame blowing the glad tidings of peace, was well designed, and the following appropriate mottoes on the flags of the ships: "With Peace, Trade shall flourish" — "Peace and Plenty" — "Peace and Happiness" — "Peace and Union for ever." The grand table on each side was adorned with two beautiful figures of Derbyshire china.
The company were seated under a colonnade of artificial flowers, the pillars and arches being entwined with roses, ranunculus, anemones, sweet peas, blue bells, and lilies of the valley, and the summits of the pillars displayed large bouquets of flowers. The ground-work of the table-frames was thrown en parterre: the middle-piece was in two compartments, one representing Britannia and the Union, with a Cupid supporting the Prince's plume, and the words in a scroll, "Peace and Plenty" and the initials G. R. under the Royal Crown, with a lion couchant, and in another part a representation of the Prince's regiment, the 10th dragoons, offering up their swords at the shrine of peace. In the background, on the right hand, was a view of the British Fleet lying in ordinary, and dismasted, ornamented also with various devices.
The masty pillars which supported the Mansion were encircled with lamps and also the saloon was splendidly lighted up. At the upper and lower end of the Hall were two mirrors, about four feet in length and three in breadth, placed in such a direction that all the company might have a view of themselves in perspective. The passage through which the company were admitted was so arranged with evergreens that it formed a complete shrubbery. At the entrance were two lions of stone, as large as life, and in different parts pieces of statuary; it had a very rural effect.
The Lord Mayor gave up the chair to the Prince, which he occasionally accepted of.
His Lordship then gave—"The Prince of Wales," with three times three. This toast was received with a universal burst of applause, and drank with ecstasy by every person present.
The Prince, in a short but elegant speech thanked his Lordship and the company for the honor they had done him, and in return, gave—"The Lord Mayor, and prosperity to the city of London."
"The Wooden Walls of Old England," (by the Prince.)
The Trade and Commerce of Old England, and confusion to the foes of Great Britain."
The country dances continued till between 4 and 5 o'clock, when the company, among whom were many Irish noblemen and gentlemen, separated, highly gratified with the entertainments they had experienced.
Foreign Articles.
A letter from a gentleman at Cadiz, to his correspondent, in London, dated April 2, gives the following account of the agreeable turn which business has assumed there, in consequence of the conclusion of peace and the remittances from America?—"I have the satisfaction to inform you of the arrival of the money from Spanish America, so long expected. The Argonaut, Spanish man of war, is arrived here to-day from Vera Cruz, after a passage of 58 days; she brings a most valuable cargo, consisting of 3,800,000 dollars for the King, & 4,116, 256 for individuals, total 7,319,259 dollars; besides 400 bales cochineal, and 400 fers of indigo. Three frigates, with three millions of dollars each, had failed for Cadiz before the Argonaut left Vera Cruz, and two men of war, the St. Peter and St. Fulgent, with six millions each, were to sail soon after. We may therefore look for them every moment.—This has been a glorious day for Cadiz; for the news we had from England was of such a nature that we were much afraid of a renewal of hostilities. Our satisfaction is complete. The moment the Argonaut was seen off Cadiz an express arrived from Paris with the agreeable news that every thing had been settled at Amiens. This has caused such a general joy and such a sudden change in the situation of Cadiz, that its inhabitants have already the face of peace and plenty. Our paper money was losing this morning 23 per cent and is already come to 14."
The Minister of the Interior of the French Republic has presented to the Consuls a very long Report upon the subject of the trade of France. The Report states, that in 1800, the imports of France amounted to 13,541,000, and the exports to 11,291,000, leaving a balance against France 2,250,000.
In 1801, the importations of France from the different countries of Europe amounting to about 17,375,000, and her exports to 15,615,000, leaving a balance against France of about four millions and a half. The importations into France during the same year, from Asia, Africa, and America, amounted to 96,541, and her exports only to 3,661, leaving a balance against France of nearly 90,000.
FEMALE AERONAUT.
Madame Garnerin, only 20 years of age, wife of Garnerin, the aeronaut, lately ascended from the garden called Hameau Chan-silly , in a balloon by herself. About three thousand persons, consisting principally of the beau monde of Paris, were in the garden, and upwards of forty thousand people collected in the Champs Elysees and the Garden of the Tuileries. She did not descend by a parachute, which she had done already by herself; she descended in a plane near Faubourg St. Antoine, about five miles from where she set off; she was about three quarters of an hour on her aerial tour. The air absolutely rang with applause when she alighted.

From the New-York Gazette, of June 2.
Yesterday, agreeably to public notice, was held the first AMERICAN LITERARY FAIR, at which were present a considerable number of Printers and Book-Sellers from different parts of the United States.
From Portsmouth, (N. H.) Mr. Charles Peirce.
From Boston, Joseph Bumstead, E. T. Andrews, John Wells.
From New-Haven, Isaac Beers & Co.
From Stonington, Samuel Trumbull.
From Hartford, John Babcock.
From Albany, Whiting, Leavenworth and Whiting.
From New-York, Hugh Gaine, Isaac Collins & Co. Samuel Campbell, Brown & Stansbury, George F. Hopkins, William Falconer, T. & J. Swords, Evert Duyckinck, David Longworth. Peter A. Mesier, T. B. Junsen & Co. T. S. Arden, E. M. Boyle, Naphtali Judah.
From Philadelphia, Patrick Byrne, William Duane, S. F. Bradford, W. Bradford, Matthew Carey, Abraham Small, W. Y. Birch, Jacob Johnston, John Bieren.
From Baltimore, Warren & Hanna, Bon-fal & Niles.
From Richmond, William Pritchard.
The proceedings of the meeting were opened by the appointment of HUGH GAINÉ President, and MATTHEW CAREY Secretary, after which committees were appointed to frame rules, for the future management of the business of the Fair.
After completing the business for which they assembled, sat down on Friday afternoon to an elegant entertainment, provided for them at the City Hotel, in Broadway. The utmost harmony and conviviality prevailed, and the following toasts were drank amid reiterated plaudits.
 1. The Republic of Letters.  2. The memory of Faunt and Gottenburg, inventors of the printing art.  3. The memory of Franklin, the patron of American printing.  4. May Literature, like Liberty, be loved by every American.  5. The Press; may it never be employed with effect, but in defence of the best interests of mankind.  6. Remorse and repentance to the man whose press or bookstore is like Pandora's 
box, fraught with destruction to the morals of society.
7. The friends of the Fair—and all our fair friends.
8. May the modest sheet of innocence never be sullied by a foul impression.
9. The elegant art of Engraving; may it be fostered by the liberality of American Bookellers.
10. The sister arts of Letter founding and Paper making, Printing and Bookbinding.
11. May America increase in Rag Manufacturers, but never see her manufacturers in rags.
12. The American Literary Fair; may the benefits resulting from it be as extensive as the views of its supporters are liberal.
13. The American Authors; may their exertions be as lucrative to themselves as they are beneficial to the Commonwealth.
14. May our Printers emulate the fame of the Elzevirs and Baskervilles of the old world.
15. May the man who prostitutes his pen to taint the morals of the rising generation be shunned as the worst pest of society.
16. The day of our meeting; may it prove the epocha of brotherly love among the trade throughout the Union.
THE LITERARY FAIR.
That has just commenced in this city, promises considerable advantage to American literature. A new Republic—the Republic of Letters, is about to be formed!—one that will vie in usefulness, if not in éclat, with those lately formed by the Chief Consul in Europe. The meeting of the book-sellers, who are now assembled in this place from different parts of the U. States reminds us of the first committees and conventions that associated with the view of organizing a federal republic. May the result of their labors be equally propitious. Under their auspices may a new " imperium in imperio " arise, destined to enlighten and to increase the happiness of the people of the U. States. By a judicious direction of capital—by a proper harmony of design and execution—by a perfect and mutual understanding with each other, there is no doubt but the members of this Republic, while they promote their own interest, will save vast sums of money to their country; and by the encouragements they will present to literary industry, will excite genius—will extend learning, and essentially contribute to the diffusion both of virtue and of knowledge.

New-Hampshire Legislature.
Answer of the Senate to the Governor's Speech.
May it please your Excellency,
AT a period when our Country laments the exclusion of many of her ancient and long approved benefactors from her Councils and Government, it is with peculiar pleasure we see your Excellency yet enjoying the confidence of the citizens of this State, and to find you disposed to accept the important trust committed to you by their suffrages. Your Excellency's former administration affords us a satisfying evidence, that your communications to us will be dictated by a wise and faithful regard to the public good, and that all our endeavours to promote the same important object, will meet your sanction and ready concurrence. By an assurance of our firm support in every measure which shall appear to be conducive to the interests of our constituents, permit us to invite your Excellency to a reciprocal confidence.
Altho' the particular interests of this State demand our primary attention, we sincerely participate in the repose granted our European brethren from the alarms and calamities of war; and notwithstanding the threatening aspect which the accumulated power of a particular nation, and the depression of others, may have upon the continuance of peace, we would fondly cherish the pleasing idea, that
these temporary agitations will result in the advancement of genuine liberty, and the happiness of mankind.
A sense of the dangers which have surrounded us, amidst the conflicts of contending nations, is highly calculated to excite our grateful joy, and to appreciate, in our estimation, the wisdom and propriety of those measures which were the conspicuous means of preserving our country from many injudicious attempts to involve us in the convulsions of Europe. It remains, however, matter of deep regret, that those attempts, although failing of their ultimate object, have prevailed to disseminate those principles of division which impair our strength, degrade our dignity, and even endanger our national existence: And were the means in our power by which we could extend the pacification of Europe to the breaths of Americans, most ardently should we embrace them as the surest means of our national prosperity and happiness.
Your Excellency has perfectly expressed our sentiments respecting the importance of habits, opinions, morals and religion, in free Governments: we firmly believe them to be the foundation on which republics rest, and that in proportion as these are shaken, the whole superstructure will be convulsed; therefore, all attempts to misrepresent the measures of Government, we consider as hostile to the safety, prosperity and peace of the community; and it is with no small degree of indignation we see "the liberty of the press" so grossly abused, to promote the purposes of deception, and subvert the liberties, the morals, and happiness, of our countrymen. Deeply impressed with these sentiments, we shall not be inactive to the recommendation of your Excellency, as Legislators and Magistrates, to do whatever may be in our power, both by precept and example, for the suppression of licentiousness and immorality, and for the promotion of useful knowledge, virtue, and religion.
We shall carefully strive to render even more perfect those systems of government from which we have already derived such important blessings, by endeavoring to remedy those defects which attend the most accurate productions of human wisdom; but in this attempt we shall cautiously follow the safe instructions of experience, sensible that theoretical calculations serve merely to weaken that energy which is of peculiar importance, especially in a Government extended like that of the United States, over so large a territory, and with a population so rapidly increasing.
The history of ruined republics, affords a most valuable fund of instruction to those who have the wisdom to receive instruction and to avoid the evils which were the conspicuous causes of their overthrow.
We have long beheld with approbation the decision and frankness with which your Excellency has publicly advocated those political sentiments which it is our belief naturally result from an informed mind and an upright heart. Of the justness and importance of these sentiments, we have never doubted; but yet we can sincerely join with your Excellency, in declaring that this conviction has been confirmed and increased by "the recent transactions of our National Government."
The subjects to which our attention has been directed, with every subsequent communication, will be duly and carefully noticed; and we hope to participate with your Excellency, the pure and virtuous pleasure of those whose efforts are intentionally directed to the public happiness.—May that Almighty Power on whom all depend, ever guard your Excellency by his holy providence, and by his wisdom guide you to still greater usefulness here, and to the final rewards of those who faithfully serve him in their generation.

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 13.
Capt. Harris arrived at the Lazaretto, from St. Martin's, informs, that he left there the 30th ult, at which time American markets were very low, and Colonial produce high and on the advance. The port charges, it is said, were enormously high; and what is additionally vexatious, no receipts or document were given, by which to prove the expenses which had been incurred. The day Captain H. failed, a British frigate anchored off Great Bay. Her object he could not learn. The inhabitants were in daily expectation of receiving orders for the restoration of the Island to the Dutch.
JUNE 16.
Extract of a letter from Cape Francis, dated May 28, 1802.
"A few days after Toussaint had surrendered, he asked leave to retire to his plantation, which was granted. We have just heard that he has decamped, with a strong body of troops, in opposition to the French. Probably he was induced to this from having discovered the weakness of the French force while he was at the Cape. Leclerc's troops have been reduced from 30 to 18 or 20,000; there are 2000 in the Hospital, and 12 or 15 die every day."
"On the 25th, a commander under Toussaint surprised a French post, and, it is said, killed every man. It is feared that Toussaint will be able to re-establish his authority.—Unless some reinforcements arrive soon we may be in a disgraceful situation."
"We have just received information that a French fleet which lately arrived at Guadaloupe has met with a warm reception; 800 of the French were killed; and the town entirely consumed by fire."
MASSACHUSETTS.
CHARLESTOWN, JUNE 19.
Thursday last being the anniversary of the memorable Battle of Bunker-Hill, that glorious prelude to the Independence of America, was celebrated by the Artillery Company of this town, in a well adapted manner. The day was ushered in by a discharge of cannon. At the usual hour, the Company marched to Page's Tavern, where a very elegant entertainment was provided;—The most perfect order, hilarity and union of sentiment, was manifested in every countenance.
A number of appropriate Toasts were drank, accompanied by music and discharges of cannon; among which were the following:
 1. The Day we celebrate—May that spirit of Liberty, which inspired the Americans at the Battle of Bunker Hill, glow in the breast of every Republican.  2. The President of the U. States, our Commander in Chief—May the greatness of his mind, and the rectitude of his conduct, operate on his enemies as the word of command— To the right about, face!  3. The Vice President of the United States.  4. Our Republican Government—May its enemies "stand undisturbed, as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated, when reason is left free to combat it."  5. The Tree of Liberty—May its branches be olive, its fruit plenty; and may the American Eagle build thereon.  6. Our Country—May all party names and distinctions be lost in the name of Americans.  7. Gov. Strong—May the sentiments contained in his recent Address to the Legislature, be the predominating principles of the People of Massachusetts.  8. The venerable and patriotic SAMUEL ADAMS.  9. The memory of WARREN, and his associates, who fell in their country's cause—May we cease to live, when we forget their worth!  10. The memory of WASHINGTON, whose name has been inscribed on the register of fame, and carried forward to the records of immortal glory.  11. The friends and defenders of Equal Liberty throughout the world.  12. Success to Religion and Morality; and, annihilation to Superstition and Intolerance.  13. The Liberty of the Press, inviolate—goals and dungeons for knaves and criminals; good living and liberty to Republican Printers.  14. A well disciplined Militia; the safety of a nation.  15. The National Constitution, as it unites the People in the bonds of interest, may they be zealous in its support.  16. The Columbian Fair—May the mental beauties, graceful in the female mind, "as apples of gold, and pictures of silver," be more brilliant than their external charms. 

Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1802.
New-Hampshire Legislature.
On Friday last, the General Court finished their session at Concord, and voted to have but one session the present year; and also voted that the next election and session should be held at Concord, the last Wednesday in May, 1803.
JAMES SHEAFE, Esq. one of the Senators in Congress from this State, having resigned his seat in that hon. body; The Legislature, on Friday last, made choice of WILLIAM PLUMER, Esq. of Epping to fill said vacancy.
The Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Massachusetts, having disagreed on the subject of the materials to compose the Statue to WASHINGTON—the former being in favor of marble, the latter bronze; the subject has been postponed to the next session of the General Court.
A bill to divide the Commonwealth of Massachusetts into districts, for the choice of State Senators and Councilors, had a second reading in the House of Representatives on Saturday last, and Tuesday at 11 o'clock was assigned for the third.
A bill to establish Alfred as the place for a new Court-House and Goal, in the County of York, has been twice read.
For the New-Hampshire Gazette.
Messrs. PRINTERS, IT is a pleasing reflection, that the General Court have at length incorporated the New-Hampshire Union Bank, by which it appears that the interest of the State at large is now secured, and that the spirit of parties has subsided, what now hinders the Stockholders of the two banks, from dropping their animosities against each other; which have proved injurious as well to the public as to themselves, they have been prevented from extending the circulation of their Notes, by which their income has been lessened, and a flood of foreign bills suffered to be the currency of this State, and thereby we have been paying interest to other banks, to the impoverishment of our own.
The public seem to claim a right to insist, that these repositories of their confidence should be more united, and if applications are made to either bank, with satisfactory security for a Loan, that no partial discrimination might be made, on account of religious or political principles. There is another important consideration, which ought to weigh heavily in the minds, of these gentlemen, to cement their Union, viz. another bank is about to be incorporated at Portland, with a capital of 500,000 dollars, which will operate greatly to the injury of our banks: This bank intends to supply their money on a security of LANDS, and furnish the agricultural interest, with the means of purchasing them upon more generous terms than they now do; and they have it in contemplation to open almost Turnpike Roads (without toll) from the northern towns of this State to Portland, and thus monopolize the produce of our State to the discouragement of its commerce. There are other reasons may be urged to recommend a reconciliation amongst these gentlemen, but as they are of the first characters for property, integrity and discernment, though perhaps of different sentiments in politics, yet they certainly will judge best whether their private interest is not greatly injured by such unhappy divisions, and whether the public will not view them with an eye of prejudice, distrust and enmity to its true interest; but from every consideration, let the Directors of these public institutions, extend their discounts for sixty days, and give the borrowers of their Notes a more generous credit, comporting with usages of other State Banks.
PHILANTHROPOS.
"MY GOD! WHAT A CHANGE!"
This was the expression of an old gentleman, on perusing one of the late federal papers which was filled with the abuse of the present Chief Magistrate. If the people would take the trouble to compare the papers of two years' past with those that have been published within six months, they will one and all exclaim—what inconsistency! What opinion must we have of a man that will one day blow hot, and the next cold—one day crying out that we have too much liberty and the next abusing it? Liberty of speech and of the press is the boon of a republican government, and he who violates that liberty is not fit to live with freemen; but if ever there was a day in the United States of America, when the liberty of the press was abused, it is this. Those very people that two years ago were crying out against a free discussion of the affairs of government, now come forward like madmen, and vent their malice upon every thing that is brought forward by the republicans; but, thank God, the citizens of America are too enlightened to be long deceived; they begin to see through the artifices, & will like the sun burst through the cloud that conceals the iniquitous deeds of their enemies.
OBSERVATOR.
The old administration, says a correct writer in the Washington paper, had enlisted under its banner all the officers, amounting to 4044. The present, or new administration has changed only 33. No administration ever existed which owed its existence to a revolution in the public sentiment, that has exhibited so much forbearance and magnanimity; and yet it is charged with "intolerance" and "persecution." But "a view of the whole ground," and a contrast of the present with the the last administration, we should think, would be sufficient to silence even calumny itself.
At Newburyport, on the 14th inst. a Son of Mr. Ebenezer Gummison, about 4 years of age, going into the street, where there were a cart and oxen standing without a driver, attempting to strike the oxen, they started, he fell at the same time, the wheel ran over his head and killed him instantly.
EVIL SPEAKING.
Messrs. Peirce's, I read in your last paper with uncommon satisfaction, the quotations from Sterne's eleventh Sermon on Slander, and think the remaining part may be as fitly applied to some of our Portsmouth gentry, as the part that preceded:—
"But there is nothing so bad which will not admit of something to be said in its defence."
"And here it may be asked,—whether the inconveniences and ill effects which the world feels from the licentiousness of this practice—are not sufficiently counterbalanced by the real influence it has upon men's lives and conduct?—That if there was no evil speaking in the world, thousands would be encouraged to do ill,—and would rush into many indecorums, like a horse into the battle,—were they sure to escape the tongues of men."
"That if we take a general view of the world,—we shall find that a great deal of virtue,—at least of the outward appearance of it,—is not so much from any fixed principle, as the terror of what the world will say,—and the liberty it will take upon the occasions we shall give."
"That, if we descend to particular numbers, are every day taking more pains to be well spoken of,—than what would actually enable them to live so as to deserve it."
"That there are many, of both sexes, who can support life well enough without honor or chastity,—who, without reputation (which is but the opinion which the world has of the matter) would hide their heads in shame, and sink down in utter despair of happiness.—No doubt the tongue is a weapon, which does chastise many indecorums which the laws of men will not reach—and keeps many in awe—whom conscience will not; and where the case is indisputably flagrant,—the speaking of it in such words as it deserves—scarce comes within the prohibition.—In many cases, 'tis hard to express ourselves so as to fix a distinction betwixt opposite characters,—and sometimes it may be as much a debt we owe to virtue, and as great a piece of justice, to expose a vicious character, and paint it in its proper colours,—as it is to speak well of the deserving, and describe his particular virtues.—And, indeed, when we inflict this punishment upon the bad, merely out of principle, and without indulgence to any private passion of our own,—'tis a case which happens so seldom, that one might venture to except it."
"However, to those, who in this objection are really concerned for the cause of virtue, I cannot help recommending what would much more effectually serve her interest, and be a surer token of their zeal and attachment to her: and that is—in all such plain instances where it seems to be a duty to fix a distinction betwixt the good and the bad—to let their actions speak it instead of their words, or at least to let them both speak one language. We all of us talk so loud against vicious characters, and are so unanimous in our cry against them—that an unexperienced man, who only trusted his ears, would imagine the whole world was in an uproar about it, and that mankind were all associating together to hunt vice utterly out of the world.—Shift the scene—and let him behold the reception which vice meets with,—he will see the conduct and behaviour of the world towards it, so opposite to their declarations—he will find all he heard, so contradicted by what he saw,—as to leave him in doubt which of his senses he is to trust—or in which of the two cases mankind were really in earnest. Was there virtue enough in the world to make a general stand against this contradiction,—that is—was every one who deferred to be ill spoken of—sure to be ill looked on too?—was it a certain consequence of the loss of a man's character,—to lose his friends,—to lose the advantages of his birth and fortune,—and thenceforth be universally shunned, universally slighted."
"Was no quality a shelter against the indecorums of the other sex, but was every woman, without distinction,—who had justly forfeited her reputation—from that moment was she sure to forfeit likewise all claim to civility and respect."
"Or, in a word, could it be established as a law in our ceremonial—that wherever characters in either sex were become notorious—it should be deemed infamous, either to pay or receive a visit from them, and the door were to be shut against them in all public places, till they had satisfied the world by giving testimony of a better life. A few such plain and honest maxims faithfully put in practice—would force us upon some degree of reformation. Till this is done—it avails little that we have no mercy upon them with our tongues, since they escape without feeling any other inconvenience."
"We all cry out that the world is corrupt—and, I fear too justly;—but we never reflect, what we have to thank for it, and that it is our own countenance to vice, which gives the lie to our private censures of it, what is its chief protection and encouragement.—To those however, who still believe that evil speaking is some terror to evil-doers, one may answer, as a great man has done upon the occasion,—that after all our exhortations against it—'tis not to be feared, but that there will be evil speaking enough left in world to chastise the guilty—and we may safely trust them to an ill-natured world, that there will be no failure of justice upon this score. And then be close.—The passions of men are pretty severe executioners, and to them let us leave this ungrateful task:—and rather ourselves endeavour to cultivate that more friendly one, recommended by the apostle,—of letting all bitterness, and wrath, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from us,—of being kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgave us."
Colonel Humphreys, formerly the American minister at the Court of Madrid, has arrived in the ship Perseverance from Lisbon.

MELANCHOLY.
An account of the loss of the ship Amy Wan, of New-York, commanded by Joseph Fitch, of Nantucket, with all her crew, except Methock Sapp of Philadelphia, and William Moulton of Baltimore.
The ship sailed from the Texel the 3d of January last, about 9 o'clock in the morning, bound to the Isle of May for a load of salt, the wind being to the south-west and eastward, nothing happened to them until half past 4 o'clock in the morning on the 4th of Jan. the ship struck on a sand bank about 8 miles off Dunkirk; they immediately cut away the mizen mast; they then got the yawl out, she filled the first sea; they, with a great deal of difficulty, got the long boat out, the captain, two mates and three hands were in her, but she filled the second sea; the captain and chief mate were lost—the three men got into the vessel again. Soon after this, the main mast went over the side, they all then went into the fore top, except two boys that stayed on the quarter deck, who were soon washed overboard. The people stayed on the fore top and fore rigging about one hour, when the mast went over the side; one Peter, a Dutchman, and Joseph Clark of Nantucket, were then lost; the rest of the people held on to some part of the rigging to windward or upper part of the ship forward—about 3 o'clock in the afternoon they saw a pilot boat run out of Dunkirk, which came within about two miles of them, but the sea ran so heavy she was not able to run any nearer, in about one hour after the boat put back—they all perished except one man, and the two before mentioned, they still continued in that situation all that night and all the next day, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when a fishing boat went out and took them off, and carried them into Dunkirk.
The names and places of residence of those that perished—William Stevens, chief mate, aged 28, Philadelphia—Adam Miller, second mate, aged 27, Philadelphia—Samuel Gilbert, aged 25, North-river, N. Y.—Jonathan Libby, aged 22, Portsmouth, N. H.—William Weeks, aged 23, Portsmouth, N. H.—Hawson Kinsey, aged 24, Bristol, Pennsylvania—Richard M'Donald, aged 20, St. Mary's, Vir.—John Barns, aged 21, Philadelphia—John Maday, aged 30, Ireland—the two boys born in Ireland—a black man, named Joseph, aged 30, Baltimore—These particulars were taken down by Thomas Cress, master of the brig, Sukey of Newburyport, by the information of the before mentioned Sapp, who came passenger in said brig from Havre-de-Grace to Baltimore.
The Rio, Stevens, of this port, was on shore at Buenos Ayres, (River Plate.) Nov. 25.
It is said there are nearly three millions of dollars worth of property, belonging to the citizens of the United States, detained in the River Plate, in South-America.

A Mental Feast.
Question. Does not the human mind require mental food, as much as the natural appetite does bodily subsistence? Answer. Certainly it does.
Well then, C. PEIRCE, 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 times, and he is happy to observe that the substantials are mostly the produce or manufacture of his own country.

Husbandry; 11th. Poetry; 12th. Novels; 13th. Classics; 14th. School Books; 15th. Picture Books; 16th. Stationery; 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.

The best 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.

The Cottager's Daughter.
As tell me you twains, have you seen my Pastor, Have you seen the sweet nymph pass this way? Transcendant as Venus, as blithe as Aurora, From Neptune's bed rising to hail the new day. Forlorn do I wander, long time have I sought her, The fairest, the rarest forever my theme; She's a goddess in form, tho' a cottager's daughter, That dwells on the borders of Allen's winding stream. The lordlings to gay, and young squires have sought her, To link her fair hand in the conjugal chain, But devoid of ambition is the cottager's daughter, Convinced 'tis their offers and flattery was vain. Then why thus alone does she leave me to languish? Pastor to splendor could ne'er yield her hand, But no, she returns to remove my fond anguish, O'er her heart, love and truth, I still can command. Then grant me ye gods to my wish, my Pastor, The cottager's daughter shall still be my theme; Then give me kind Hymen to wife my Pastor, That dwells on the borders of Allen's winding stream.
Moralist.
THE surest testimony we can have in ourselves, or give to others, of being truly religious, arises from a meek and quiet spirit, a tender sympathy in each other's joys and sorrows, an humble opinion of ourselves, an abhorrence of pride and selfishness in every shape, and perpetual looking to an higher world than this, for the perfection of those virtues and graces which are here but in their embryo state.
For the Gazette.
Messrs. PEARCE'S, Please to insert the following in your paper, which professes to be open to linguistic as well as to popular sentiments.— COMMUNICATION.
I observed in a certain Newspaper of last week, a short piece called "A Tribute." It seems that a preacher found a place in a division of his discourse for a tribute of praise to a certain Lady of distinguished rank lately deceased in a distant State. He touched upon her christianity, piety and worth; but observed that it was not his object to eulogize these; that this was a subject more suitable for those furnished with the necessary Data: He concluded however (as it seems) by saying that the most striking traits of her Character may be found in the thirty first chapter of Proverbs.—The writer of the article then pays tribute in turn to the Preacher; by a laud exclamation, which, (so far as I can learn its meaning) is to this effect: "How much is said; and in how few words!"—Much indeed thought I!—for it would be difficult to find more profane in a narrow compass. This exceeds the ordinary way of giving flattering titles to men!—The pure word of God is profaned by being made a vehicle of Eulogy and Compliments to the great. A sinful mortal, that might say to the worm "thou art my sister," is complimented in language dictated by the Most High, to describe the Great King's Daughter, the Bride, the Lamb's wife; who is "as fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners!" Such perversion of the Scripture description of the virtuous woman, and their admirers shew plainly that they love her not, but that they admire and follow the strange woman described in the same book, as flattering with her words; of whom it is said; her house is the way to Hell, going down to the chambers of Death." Y. Z.
Medley.
At the time of the General Fast, in consequence of the earthquake at Lisbon, the principals of the College at Oxford, made a very strict order for keeping all the ale-houses, &c. close shut, and prohibiting all vendors of liquors from selling any on that day. One of the Oxford publicans was too much of a finner to comply with the order: he admitted a party of the scholars into his house, got them a very good dinner, served it in a back room, shut his front windows, and double locked the street door. Of this business the proctor somehow or other got information, and attended by the proper officers came and knocked at the door,—but the door was fast, and the young gentlemen made their escape the back way. The proctor knocked, and knocked, and knocked again, and at length the door was opened, and the party marched in official state to the room, but the birds were flown, the bottles and glasses removed, and the landlord sitting with a large family bible spread upon the table before him, and his eyes half shut; he arose on their entrance, and apologized for their having been kept at the door so long,—but he had (and really was ashamed of it) fallen fast asleep over a chapter of the Prophet Jeremiah.—"You are an excellent fellow," said one of the gentlemen, "you are a most excellent fellow, but we cannot take hold of you now, nor indeed do I think we ought; you have kept strictly to the letter of the law, and not only made your family fast, but fallen fast asleep yourself, and made your doors and windows fast. You are an excellent fellow, and take care of yourself, and do not make a practice of playing at fast and loose."
THE LADIES' DRESS.
THE Ladies justify their thinness and transparency of apparel, by deriving it from the Grecian, the Antiques, &c. and defending their immodesty by a sort of classical bulwark: At this rate, a laudable remark, they may go on undressing, and plead paradiical prescription, and the early practice at the toilet of Eve.
