THE PAINS OF MEMORY.
[EXTRACT FROM MR. MERRY'S POEM ON THE PAINS OF MEMORY.]
Down in yon glade, beside that glassy pool, There stands, and long has stood, the village school; Hark! the gay murmurings of the sportive train, Proceed from restraint that gambol o'er the plain; List their shrill voices, and their bursts of glee, Will future years recall their ecstasy?
The buxom lass who late secure from harm, With gay importance bustled thro' the farm; Tended her dairy at the break of dawn, Or led her circling poultry on the lawn; O'er the wath'd floor the cleanly sand let fall, And brush'd the unseemly cobwebs from the wall;
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. TENNO,
WE often see in the papers accounts of the enormous expenses attending elections in England, and our indignation is justly excited at reading the recitals. While we execrate the bribery and corruption, which is there so shamelessly practised; we consign the corruptors to infamy, but the corrupted, the people who thus barter their rights and privileges for a mess of pottage generally escape censure.
In England the modes adopted for evading the laws are infinitely various, and generally successful. The Candidates on such occasions are almost every where present, and a perpetual smile or grin enlivens their countenances; they are "bail fellow well met" with every man woman and child, and are the best natured creatures in the world till election is over—they pay off small debts, subscribe to every charitable institution, repair churches, give organs, replenish libraries, distribute books, pictures, &c. &c. Mean-time their agents are busy and alert, in providing entertainments, giving balls, and distributing ribbons, feathers, rattles, corals for children, favors to the Farmers wives and daughters, and prizes to the youth who exhibit their prowess and activity at the public games.
From the FARMER'S WEEKLY MUSEUM.
Turn ye, Turn ye.
SO bellowed a methodist preacher from the north scaffold of neighbor Hobnail's barn last Sunday. Hobnail had anticipated his command, and actually "turned" his bees and bulls from their stalls, to admit this biped brute whose wind allowed him to out bellow, the stoutest ox on the farm.
But don't laugh, gentle race of mortals, at the stupidity of my neighbor, for I saw a large crowd of ye, at this same barn, gaping to the hollow sounds of this haymow teacher; and if you are not grossly belied things of equal emptiness have long engrossed much valuable time.
There is a Lion twelve miles hence to be seen, and who would not spend a day, and give ninepence, to see the Lion? Dobbins is taken from the plough, Silas leaves the hay, and Jemima her flax, and all post off to see this monstrous "wild vermin." After a thousand silly questions at his cage, this sensible company return to their spinning and farming. Now let us calculate the cost of this journey.
Table with 2 columns: Item, Cost. Items include Father and Silas one day (5s.), Mother and Jemima might have earned at home (4s.), Old mare and Dobbins (4s.), Cash expended for light & drink (5s.), Cows got into the corn because all were from home, and destroyed to the value (1l. 4s.), Pigs rooted up half an acre of potatoes (1l. 10s.), Brood of goslings destroyed by Hawks (4s. 6d.). Total: £ 3 19 6.
Rare sport to see the Lion, and yet those who form a crowd about his cage, are the "refless ones" in society, who growl at the tax which supports the useful parson, or instructs the rising generation. I can almost with them Daniels fate without his protection. My good neighbors from such things, turn ye, and let lions range the African forest, and be it yours to range your own farms, and whether a methodist rants, a lion growls, or a juggler performs, save your time, reputation and money, for purposes that create the good citizen and the happy life. Believe me, that by "turning" once from such things, you turn better property into your possessions than is gained by a Carver speculation, and more contentment into your dwelling, than you would acquire seeking after wild beasts all your lives.
THE HERMIT
From the AUGUSTA CHRONICLE.
Mr. SMITH,
I HEAR Mr. Somebody has given you the trouble of publishing a paper against the proposition for a convention, &c. &c.
And I have heard, that his slippancy has given such offence to some of your subscribers, that they threaten to withdraw their names.
But is not this too precipitate? Such withdrawing is a declaration for laying under restraint the press, which should be free. And if a people take the trouble of forging their own chains, do they not invade the province of Imprudence? Whenever a people commit this trespass, they are sure to pay smart-money, one day or other.
This is not meant in excuse for this Somebody's attempt. Of that, reports are not very much in its favor.
The proposition was thought to be very inoffensive. Neither was it founded on absurdities. The impossibility of persuading all men to think alike, was not attempted. The principal object was, by frequent collision, to wear off that roughness, which has often wounded, where no wound should be given: And to change into the friendly warmth of brotherly love, that coldness which often freezes up the milk of human kindness, so honorable in man, and so essential in a Christian.
Whether endeavors to promote such dispositions; or attempts, like that of Somebody, to prevent them, be most worthy of public approbation, the public will easily determine.
Although a free press should be preferred; yet there is a great difference between free and licentious.
Every master of a press is supposed to possess the power of a Roman Tribune. When pieces are calculated to create discord; to bear false witness against a neighbor; to corrupt youth, and the unwary, or tend, generally, to loosen moral obligations—in all such cases the master's veto may be happily applied.
But, at any rate, they would do well to consider that the publication of such a piece, may and probably will, do an injury, for which no recompence can ever be made.
This, though, is thrown out only as a hint; and not obtruded as advice.
I am an old man, tottering over the grave. But until I fall into it, I wish for quietness and peace.
As I wish all men well, I sometimes offer a bit of advice. If folly passes it by, unregarded; I am sorry for their mistake.—It may be fatal. But if the wife in their own conceit, endeavor to torture it on the rack of their ridicule, I breathe a passing sigh, and wish for that time, when a mischievous community shall not be found among the children of MEN.
From a London paper.
LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT.
It is really surprising that people should bawl so for liberty when there is so much in this kingdom. It is well known that all ranks of people possess liberties which every thinking man must seriously wish did not exist; and that many of our liberties trench upon those of other people. Several of our great men have the liberty to run in debt with every man who is fool enough to give him credit, the liberty to refuse payment as long as they please, and the liberty to plead privilege to protect their sacred persons from the pursuit of law. But then, on the other hand, some tradesmen have the liberty of charging so high for their goods, that if they are paid once in seven years, they will still be gainers by the bargain, whilst others, more conscientious, have the liberty to be ruined, and have their names inserted in the gazette, introduced by a whereas .
Many of our clergy have the liberty of enjoying sinecures, and pluralities; whilst their lean curates have the liberty of doing all the duty, and maintaining their families as well as they can, with forty or fifty pounds a year.
Several persons who never saw a sword drawn, or a shot fired (except, perhaps, in a duel, or an imaginary affront, in defence of the reputation of a trumpeter, or on a quarrel about cards or dice) have the liberty to start up at once as military commanders, and raise regiments. For which purpose they have had the liberty to employ crimps—to trepan the unwary, to seize men who had no other crime but poverty, drag them from their families, and send them to the army or to the navy, and to depopulate the fields and the looms for the good of the service.
Ladies of easy virtue (or rather of no virtue at all) take the liberty of crouding all public places,
elbowing women of reputation, and putting modesty out of countenance. Of glorying in their infamy; and when they grow old themselves and pass their trade, of writing their memoirs for the edification of youth.
Many more instances of liberty might be produced; but these few may suffice to enable us to say, that England is a Land of Liberty.
FRESH IMPORTS FROM IRELAND.
A novel, of considerable celebrity, on the other side of the channel, begins in the following true Hibernian style: "It was one of those delightful evenings when the sun was shining in his meridian splendor, and illuminating with nature's most dazzling tints all the projected improvements of Lord Milford's captivating place, the palladian bridge which he hath planned, the fine hanging beech woods which he intendeth to plant!"
NEW HAVEN, September 21.
On Wednesday the 14th inst. the public commencement was celebrated in this city. At nine o'clock, A. M. the procession moved in the usual manner from the college to the brick meeting-house.

1. Sacred music.
2. A salutatory oration in Latin—by Archibald Basset.
3. A disputation—by Bancroft Fowler, Salmon King and Charles Denison—on this question, Is a civilized state of society productive of more happiness than a savage state?
4. An oration—by Gold Selleck Silliman—on the nature and progress of the Mahometan imposture.
5. A dialogue—by Charles Bostwick, David Edmond, John Humphreys, and John Hart Lynde, on the comparative advantages of wedlock and celibacy.
6. An oration—by Henry Davis—on the evil consequences of the stage.
7. Sacred music.
AFTERNOON EXERCISES.

5. Degrees conferred.
6. Sacred music.
7. The exercises concluded by prayer.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred on Thomas Wells Allis, John Bacon, Archibald Basset, Jonathan Belden, Hezekiah Belden, Timothy Bishop, Charles Bostwick, James Cantey, Elihu Chauncy, Henry Davis, Charles Denison, David Edmond, Thaddeus Fairbanks, Bancroft Fowler, John Hooker, Ruggles Hubbard, John Humphreys, William Henry Jones, Salmon King, John Hart Lynde, Thomas Miner, Joseph Parker, William Prince, Levi Robbins, Isaac Seely, Gold Selleck Silliman, Benjamin Silliman, Elisha Stearns, As, Asahel Hooker Strong, Fanning Tracey, John Harvey Tucker, Samuel Porter Williams.

From an extensive testimony given by the learned and polite audience, it is fairly presumed, that at no time have similar exercises been received with a more decided approbation.
HAGUE, June 7.
The representatives of the province of Utrecht have resolved, that for the future no ecclesiastical society shall enjoy greater privileges than another; that all salaries to professors of divinity, preachers or other ministers of the church which are paid from the public treasuries, shall cease at the expiration of four months; that all benefices out of which such payments are made shall be declared the property of the province, as the founders and first possessors had very different views from those of the present; that all churches, meeting houses, schools, that are not supported by private funds, shall be considered as the property of the province, that the churches however shall be left open to the reformed congregations.
LONDON, July 7.
All the letters from Italy are full of bitter complaints against the conduct of Buonaparte. They charge him with a wanton insolence in tone and manners, with an insatiable avidity, and the utmost duplicity: the latter is indeed sufficiently proved by the striking contrast between his fraternal proclamations and vexatious proceedings. The people, exasperated by the pillage of the churches, the exorbitant contributions imposed on them, and the imprisonment of the priests, nobles; and, in short, of all the most distinguished persons in the country, on pretence of keeping them as hostages, are every where preparing violent measures. What has already come to pass at Milan, Pavia, Novia, &c. is only a prelude of what may happen in future. Our Anglo-French prints, which have with so much complacency celebrated the moderation of the new Vandals, may probably soon be brought to recant.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has happily prevailed on the bank to advance £. 200,000, in order to pay off one quarter's arrear of the Civil List. Mr. Pitt was obliged to make three journeys to the bank before he persuaded them to make this advance. The loan is given, we suppose, on the security of the growing produce of the Consolidated Fund. This may be truly called a drop in the ocean of national necessities; but so far as it goes, it is not very reputable in the directors of the bank to do; since it is an advance of money without the authority of Parliament; and may pave the way for further deviations of the same kind. A Minister has only to prevail upon money men to stuff him with funds, to make all the cheques of our Constitution, waste paper.
PHILADELPHIA,
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1796.
The President's farewell address to his countrymen is another gracious testimony of his disinterested love of country.
The sentiments it contains and the principles it inculcates must come home to the feelings of every genuine and patriotic American. Such advice from such a citizen, under the present circumstances, must make the most durable impression; it will form the Americans true political creed; it will be the Book of Oracles to his successors. While they pursue the line there traced, America will be happy and prosperous; if they deviate from it, every deviation will be marked with political calamity. Experience has tested, under the administration of the Federal Government, the wisdom and policy of those principles which are recommended by the President, and which formed the basis of his administration; America under it has flourished, has been at peace and has been truly happy. May his successor be inspired with similar sentiments and inherit his political virtues!
However we must regret and deeply regret the retirement of this truly great man, we cannot but rejoice that the moment for retirement is singularly auspicious, and that he retires with unfaded glories. If calamities should again surround us, Americans, will know where to seek the Saviour of his Country.

The PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS
To the People of the United States, Announcing his intention of retiring from public life at the expiration of the present constitutional term of presidency. September 20.

To the Electors of the City of Philadelphia.
GENTLEMEN, Having attended at a meeting at Mr. Hoffman's school, Cherry-street, as well as at Mr. Little's school-house on Friday evening last, for the purpose of nominating suitable characters to be submitted to our fellow citizens for their suffrage at the ensuing election; it appears but reasonable and proper, that the business, so far as it has been acted upon, should be laid before the citizens, generally, for their information, that they may thereby have time and an opportunity of considering the characters of the several proposed candidates, and therefrom select those men who are most esteemed for their wisdom, virtue, and political knowledge in government affairs; as well as the propriety of selecting Counsellors and Common Council men, for making ordinances and bye laws to regulate the police of this city.
At this last meeting (at Mr. Little's school) a printed ticket, or list of names, was offered to the gentlemen present, from which it was proposed (at a subsequent meeting to be called for the purpose) to select a ticket to be supported by all the gentlemen then present, at the ensuing election, for the following offices, viz.
 Governor.  A Member of Congress.  A Senator.  Six Members of Assembly.  Twelve select Counsellors.  Twenty Common Councilmen. 
The propriety of the characters contained in this list, to fill some of the important stations intended for them, are so self-evident that they need no comment: it is only wished that a choice had been submitted to the meeting, as well in that of Governor and Member of Congress, as in the several stations of less importance; for though we have heard of no opposition to the Governor elect, as Governor, we have heard of other candidates for Congress; and could with that JONATHAN B. SMITH be taken up for that important station, Mr. Smith is a native of this state—received his education (which was liberal) amongst us—was bred a merchant in the counting-house of his father in this city—served as an officer in the militia, with great reputation, during the trying seasons of our glorious revolution of '76, '77, and '78—Cannot be supposed under the influence of foreign nations, either from family connections, kingly patronage of his friends or family—or from receiving his education in Europe. These considerations should have their due weight with all independent American electors.
Subjoined you have a copy of the printed list circulated at Mr. Little's school room, nothing doubting but that from so respectable a collection of the names of our fellow citizens, a safe ticket may be formed, with Mr. Jonathan B. Smith as your Representative in Congress.
This recommendation is submitted to mature consideration of the electors generally, as well as the gentlemen who composed the above recited meetings, by an
ELECTOR.

NORFOLK, Sept. 19.
Died, this morning, at the house of his Britannic Majesty's Consul, in this borough, Capt. CHARLES PLOWDEN SLANEY , of his Majesty's 21st regt. of Light Dragoons, and brother to Wm. Slaney, Esq. of Park Place, Shropshire, England.
BALTIMORE, September 24.
The following extract of a letter from a house in Nassau, New-Providence, dated August 22, to another in this town, has been put into our hands with a request that it should be published.
GENTLEMEN,
WE lately received a letter from Urgin, in
the island of Cuba, respecting the seizure of a vessel supposed to be an American, and the murder of the crew—a copy of which, as we received it, you have enclosed. We have also received the following information from a captain of a Spanish vessel now in this port, belonging to Urgin: That some time in April last, a schooner of the following description touched there in distress: A new vessel, about 40 tons, white bottom, black bends, yellow sides, carried a standing fore topsail; after procuring her necessary supplies, she sailed from thence either for the Cape or Aux-Cayes, with a cargo of dry goods, oil and flour, two barrels of dollars, and another of half dollars. There were seven French gentleman passengers, a mulatto woman, an Indian man, and two negroes. A French schooner privateer was then lying in that port, and followed her out, and it was reported the crew of the privateer destroyed all hands on board, took out the specie and valuable goods, then sunk the vessel, and with their booty proceeded back to Urgin, where they disposed of it, and from thence went to the Havanna.
"P. S. The captain of the Spanish vessel says, that he understood the schooner belonged to Baltimore."
The subjoined is the letter above alluded to.
SIR, I WISH to let you know, that a French privateer has brought into this port (Urgin) a copper-bottomed schooner, bound to Jamaica, with a cargo valued at twenty-five thousand dollars, besides one barrel of dollars and another of half dollars—the people were murdered on board, and the cargo sold for nine thousand dollars and divided among the smugglers. There were trunks on board the schooner with the following advertisement pasted in them: "William Craun makes and sells trunks and portmanteaux of all kinds, after the English and French modes, No. 71, Chestnut street, Philadelphia." The cards on the trunks may lead to the owner of the cargo, the whole of which is now in Urgin, and might be recovered, if immediately demanded.
Urgin, August 6.
The letters from which the above public information is taken, are in the hands of the printers of the Federal Gazette, and may be seen by those concerned.
Other Editors of papers by re-publishing the above, may render an essential service to some of their readers.
Married, last evening, Mr. S. Moale to Miss Ann Howard, daughter of S. H. Howard, Esq. of Annapolis.
It is with satisfaction we are informed of the arrival of the books for the library company of Baltimore, and that the quantity is by no means small—also that they will soon be in readiness for the use of subscribers. It is sincerely wished our citizens will apply for shares, and "endeavor to promote as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge."
NEW-YORK, September 24.
By captain Johnson, in the ship Nancy, 42 days from Lisbon, we have advice of the arrival of the Brazil fleet there, with property to an immense value.
We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter, from an American in Lisbon, to his brother in this city, dated
"Lisbon, August 11, 1796."
"Ever since I have been here, there has been the greatest appearance of a rupture between Spain and England. It has at length taken place: Spain has shut its ports against England, and it was reported yesterday, and currently believed, that a part of the Spanish fleet had failed in conjunction with the French—their destination unknown."
"The French have been uniformly successful in Italy; and the present appearance is, that the Pope will be dethroned, or will be forced to make peace with the French upon their own terms. Indeed, they have already levied heavy contributions upon several of his provinces, and made a demand upon them of 20,000,000 florins. On the Rhine, they are equally successful. If this campaign ends as successfully as it has begun, the French will have no enemy in Europe that will be able to contend with them."
"The Portuguese are in expectation of a visit from them through the territories of Spain. In consequence, the greatest exertions are making to raise an army of 50,000 men, to march to their frontiers, by the first of October."
Extract of a letter from a mercantile house in Lisbon, to his friend in this city, dated the 11th of August.
"The political situation of Portugal becomes very critical, since it is no longer to be doubted, that WAR will immediately take place between England and Spain. A Spanish squadron failed on the 4th instant from Cadiz, in company with the French vessels of war which have been so long there, under the command of admiral Richery. It is said also, that the French have demanded a passage through Spain, for 50,000 troops, nominally destined against Gibraltar."
MR. M c LEAN,
Be pleased to insert the following in your Gazette, and oblige a
PLEBEIAN.
A Searcher after Truth, in this age of Phantastical delusion, enjoys with great delight, even the breathings of philanthropy; but viewing as he does the very narrow thereof in the resignation and address of our beloved PRESIDENT, he is anxious that it may be retained: and to this end he thinks it worthy the patronage, yea, to be the patron of the human race: and that they may ever have it in their eye, it would be well (next to the Bible) a copy thereof was framed and placed over the mantle-piece of every family, as not only a true but useful picture, and by way of embellishment, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States, ought to be its supporters. May abler champions come forward with their eulogies. The motive of the present writer is two fold; first, to bear grateful testimony to the instrument, in God's hand, that hath directed the public affairs of America to a happy issue in the most trying times, such as she may never again have to
encounter; therefore the approbation of his constituents must add balm to the residue of his life, notwithstanding I have not a doubt he is perfectly happy in the possession of an approving conscience: but, secondly, that his successor may be stimulated to emulation, in order to obtain a like reward.
NORWICH, September 22.
We are informed that two persons have been apprehended upon suspicion of having committed the murder and robbery in Newfield, as mentioned in the last packet. They live adjacent to the place where it was committed, and were apprehended as they were pursuing their route to New-York. It is said that as soon as their pursuers had entered the room in which they were, and made known to them what they were after, they immediately discharged each their pistols, wounded one man, and endeavoured to effect their escape; they are secured in Fairfield jail.
WHITESTOWN, September 14.
A Correspondent says,
Much has been said of the barbarity, of the inhumanity, and of the want of confidence in Indian or savage tribes. Let us look into it—a few days since an Indian was taken for having committed murder, and bro't before a civilized tribunal, accompanied by more than 20 chiefs of his nation; his examination was candid, and circumstances appeared sufficient to order a commitment. No objection was offered on the part of the Indians, except that the criminal should be neither bound nor tied; and they would be his sponsors. This was complied with, and the Indian remained all night, rambling the streets, without any one to guard him. In the morning, however he was at his post, and went to jail singing merrily.—Trust me, if you can find an instance of the kind in the civilized world.
Another Correspondent adds,
View them in the distribution of their annuities, they receive each one, from the suckling to the sage, an equal share, and they go away contented with their proportion. All above 14 spends his money as he pleases—that of those below, goes to the parents. No civilized nation practices these indubitable rights.
QUEBEC, September 8.
On Tuesday last, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a dreadful fire broke out, in a stable belonging to the Honourable Thomas Dunn, in Saint Louis street, which seemed for some time to threaten destruction to the greater part of the town. The wind blowing fresh from the west, instantly communicated the flames to the house of the hon. Chief justice Monk, and to that adjoining on the east side. While these were burning with great violence, and it was feared would communicate the flames to the adjacent houses on both sides of the street; the fire was observed to have caught in the convent of the Recolets, at the lower end of the street, at least two hundred yards from where it began. In a few minutes the roof and spire of the Church fell down, and the whole convent was in a blaze. At that moment it seemed very doubtful whether the Castle, or even the lower town could be saved; but the wind shifting a little to the northward, carried the flames up Carrier street, facing the Chateau garden, where the fire continued to rage, burning down all before it, until it reached the corner of the back-street, which leads up towards Mount Carmel, where at last it stopped. The house of H. W. Ryland Esq. opposite side of said street, escaped unhurt. Thirteen or fourteen houses in all, are entirely burned down—among which are, two belonging to Chief Justice Monk, three to Berthelot Dartiguy Esq. and two to Mrs. Cugnet.
During the conflagration, the roofs of many others houses also caught fire, which were saved by timely assistance, particularly that of Thomas Ainslie Esq. facing the Parade, the house of Assembly, and several houses in the lower town.
It is impossible at present, to form an estimate of the damage sustained, on this distressing occasion, in houses and other property; nor have we been able to learn, with certainty, how the fire originated; though it appears probable that it was caused by some boys at play, who in amusing themselves with gun-powder, had set fire to the hay in the stable, of which there was unfortunately a very large quantity.
