Biography.
Sketch of the Life of Mrs. Robinson.
CONTINUED.
Here Mrs. Robinson might have lived virtuous and happy, had not their concealment been discovered by the creditors of Mr. R. She left this residence, after remaining a little while at different places, in which her beauty exposed her to fresh temptations, from which, however, she escaped. A change in their affairs obliged them to return to London. There, after a residence of a few months, Mr. R. was put in prison, whither she accompanied him, and with unremitting attention, discharged every duty of a wife and mother. During nine months and three weeks never once did she pass the threshold of that dreary habitation, that every allurements was offered, and every effort was made to draw her from the scene of domestic attachment, and the suffering from the unkindness, neglect and infidelity of a husband. She at this time published a small volume of her juvenile poems; but they afforded her but a small relief.
She was one of the fond of mothers, and the following passage evinces both her affection and sensibility.
"It was during one of these walks (in an adjoining yard) that my little daughter first blessed my ears with the articulation of words; the circumstance made a forcible and indelible impression on my mind. It was a clear moon-light evening; the infant was in the arms of her nursery maid, and I was playing with her; her eyes were fixed upon the moon to which she pointed with her little forefinger; on a sudden a cloud passed over it, and the child, with a slow falling of her hand, articulately sighed, "all gone." These little utterances will appear insignificant to the common reader, but to the parent whose heart is ennobled by tenderness, they will become matters of important interest. I can only add, that I walked till near midnight, watching every cloud that passed near the moon, and as often with a rapturous sensation hearing my little prattler repeat her observation."
At length the moment of emancipation arrived. "Were I (says Mrs. R.) to describe one half of what I suffered during fifteen months captivity, the world would consider it as the invention of a novel. But Mr. Robinson knows what I endured and how patiently, how correctly I suited my mind to the propriety of veiled life. He knows that my duty as a wife was exemplary, my chastity inviolate; he knows that neither poverty nor obscurity, neither the tauntings of the world or his neglect, could tempt me even to the smallest error; he knows that I bore my affliction with a cheerful, uncomplaining spirit; that I toiled honorably for his comfort, and that my attentions were exclusively dedicated to him and my infant."
As a means of support, Mrs. Robinson urged by Mr. Sheridan and others, gave way to the predominant inclination of her mind, or rather to her passionate fondness for the drama. She appeared for the first time in the character of Juliet. She was received with acclamation, and much admired in the various parts she performed. But public approbation could not banish domestic misery. Her husband whom she supported by her theatrical labours, was still negligent and unfaithful. In addition to her sorrows, she lost a little daughter who was her second child. Speaking of its death and of the sympathy of a stranger in her distress, she exclaims: "Had I ever heard such a sigh from a husband's bosom? Alas, I never knew the sweet soothing solace of wedded sympathy; I never was beloved by him whom destiny allotted to be the legal ruler of my actions."
"I do not condemn Mr. Robinson, I but too well know that we cannot command our affections. I only lament that he did not observe some decency in his infidelities; and that, while he gratified his own caprice, he forgot how much he exposed his wife to the most degrading mortifications."
At this time she was only 18 years of age, and surely it is wonderful that amidst all the trials, all the temptations to which she was exposed, she was so long able to resist the allurements of pleasure and the seductive illusions of love. Her having so long resisted the seductions of wealth and pleasure will heighten the regret of every feeling heart, that such talents and virtues were ultimately subdued. Whether her virtue was conquered by love or the splendid rank of her lover, is not learned from her memoirs; but the melancholy fact is but too certain, that the
dignity of the woman, the duty of the wife, and the affection of the mother, were all sacrificed to her royal lover. But with her virtue she lost likewise her peace of mind, and the rest of her life is marked by a series of mortifications and disappointments. At last deserted by the man, for whom every sacrifice had been made, she became a wretched and voluntary exile from her native country. She devoted much of her time to literary labours, which yielded her some pecuniary support. The last years of her life she was a patient sufferer from ill-health; but although her bodily strength daily decreased, the energies of her mind and the fertility of her fancy continued undiminished, and some pieces of poetry she wrote a little before her death, show that her mental faculties were not the least impaired. Her poetical pieces are marked by no bold flights of fancy, or luxuriance of description or novelty of conception. The verses are generally harmonious, and they please because they convey the true feelings of the heart, & describe feelings and circumstances which cannot fail in exciting the sensibility of every reader.
At last, after every species of suffering, this unfortunate woman expired in the arms of her daughter. Her own memoir concludes at the period of her connection with the Prince of Wales; the narrative is continued by a friend, by whom it is thus concluded.
"To the humane mind, the errors of the unfortunate subject of this memoir, will appear to have been more than expiated by her sufferings."
"Nor will the peculiar disadvantages by which her introduction into life was attended be forgotten by the candid; disadvantages that, by converting into a snare the beauties lavished on her by nature, proved not less fatal to her happiness than to her conduct. On her unhappy marriage, and its still more unhappy consequences, it is unnecessary to comment; thus circumstanced her genius, her sensibility, and her beauty combined to her destruction; while, by her exposed situation, her inexperience of life, her tender youth, with the magnitude of the temptations which beset her, she could scarcely fail of being betrayed. The madness which seized her in the bloom of youth and pursued her, with unmitigated severity through every stage of life, till in the prime of her powers it laid her in a premature grave, exhibits in the history of its progress a series of sufferings that might disarm the sternest, soften the most rigid and awaken pity in the hardest heart. Her mental exertions through this depressing disease, the elasticity of her mind and the perseverance of her efforts, amidst numberless sources of vexation and distress cannot fail while they awaken sympathy, to extort admiration. Had this lonely plant, now withered and trod in the dust, been in its early growth transplanted into a happier soil, sheltered from the keen blasts of adversity and the mildew of detraction, it might have extended its roots, unfolded its blossoms, diffused its sweets, shed its perfumes, and still flourished beauteous to the eye and grateful to the sense."
PARTNERSHIP DISSOLVED.
The partnership which heretofore existed between HENRY DENNISTON, and JOHN A. BURROUGHS, in the grocery and dry goods business, in the City of Washington, is this day dissolved by mutual consent. All persons having claims are requested to bring them in for settlement, and those indebted are requested to make immediate payment to THOMAS HENRY, near Rhodes's City Tavern, who is fully authorized to settle the same.
July 12th, 1802. N. B. The above business in future will be carried on by JOHN A. BURROUGHS, who will have no objection to a partner that can advance cash, or a part of it, for an equal share of stock now on hand; and take an active part in the business, which requires the attention of two persons.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, March 3, 1802.
DEBATE.
On the bill received from the Senate, entitled "An Act to repeal certain acts respecting the organization of the courts of the United States."
Mr. Varnum said, he had determined to content himself with giving a silent vote on the question before the house; but the observations made by two of his colleagues (Mr. Cutler and Mr. Hastings) induced him to make some remarks, in which he would endeavour to show, that the sense of the people in the part of the union in which he lived, relative to the constitutionality of the question, was, at the time of the adoption of the federal constitution, directly the reverse of that which they had stated. Sir, in the consideration of this subject, we ought to bear in mind the nature of the government, and the very small number of cases cognizable in the federal judiciary, when compared with those cognizable in the state judiciaries, in order, with correctness, to ascertain the extent to which it is necessary to carry the one, and at the same time to avoid any encroachment on the other.
Nothing would be clearer in my mind, than the constitutional right in congress, to repeal the law, which the bill before you contemplates. By art. I. sec. viii. in the constitution, congress is vested with power, "to constitute tribunals inferior to the supreme court," precisely on the same principle, and under similar expressions, with the other powers vested by the same section "to establish an uniform rule of naturalization, uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies," "to establish Post-offices and post roads," "to raise and support armies," "to provide and maintain a navy, &c. &c." And it never has been contended, that congress have not a constitutional right to repeal any law which may have been passed on any of these subjects, except the judiciary, whenever the good of the public so requires it. If then it is admitted, that congress have a constitutional right to repeal laws which may have been passed on these subjects, when the public good requires it, and to deny it, would be subversive of the best interest of the people, from what principle of the constitution, is it found to be unconstitutional to repeal a law relative to the establishment of inferior courts, when it is conceded, that the power to legislate on that subject, is delegated by the constitution, on precisely the same principle, with the other powers, which have been mentioned? The principal reason relied on is, that the judges are to hold their offices during good behaviour, that therefore congress have not a constitutional right to repeal a law, which will in any degree affect their offices, or salaries. But this objection applies quite as strong against the repeal of a law on the subject of Post-offices and post roads, as it does in the other case, for congress have no more power to remove the Post-Master from office, than they have to remove a judge from office. The judge holds his office during good behaviour; the Post-Master holds his office during the pleasure of the president of the United States: it will also in like manner apply, against the repeal of a law upon any other subject, which creates an office held during the pleasure of the president with equal force. So that if the objection has any weight in the case to which it has been applied, it will go to the subversion of the principle, that congress have a right to repeal laws on other subjects aside the judiciary creating offices held during the pleasure of the president; if the principle is correct, where is the advantage of successive elections of the legislature?
By the 3d article and 1st section of the constitution, it is provided that the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior courts, as the congress may, from time to time, ordain and establish. Which provisions, in connection with that which vests congress, with power "to constitute tribunals, inferior to the supreme court," clearly evince, that the constitutional establishment of the inferior courts of the United States, places their existence exactly commensurate with the will of the legislature, expressed by law, from time to time, as the circumstances of the country, and the public good may require. The judges are to hold their offices
"during good behaviour," but it would be absurd in the extreme to pretend, that this tenure, could entitle a man to hold an office which has no constitutional existence, and hence, the tenure of office of a judge of an inferior court of the United States, cannot extend beyond the existence of the establishment by which such office is created.
But should the construction of the constitution contended for by the opponents of the bill prevail, it is impossible to foresee all the evils which would necessarily result. As a demonstration, I will put only one case. Suppose the existence of a war with the most powerful nation in Europe, and the necessity which in that case there might be, of the establishment of admiralty courts in all your principal seaport towns, for the trial of prizes which your armed vessels would send in for adjudication; and at the close of the war when no further services could be rendered by these courts, the constitutional question meets you, and forbids their abolition, because it will effect the salary of the judges; and the people must be taxed to pay these sinecure officers!—If such was the true construction of the constitution, in vain have the people declared in its preamble that it is ordained and established, to promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and posterity.
In addition to the construction of the constitution, in regard to this question, which seems to me indisputable from the face of it; the construction given it by the people, at the time of its adoption, or in other words, the sense in which they viewed it at that time, ought to have great weight in the decision; and perhaps, that sense will be the best ascertained, by a recurrence to the state constitutions, and the practice of the states under them. The constitution of New-Hampshire, in the XXXVII article of the bill of rights very happily expresses the sense of the people of that state, in regard to the independence of the judiciary, in these words. "In the government of this state, the three essential powers thereof, to wit, the legislative, executive, and judicial, ought to be kept as separate from, and independent of each other, as the nature of a free government will admit, or as is consistent with that chain of connection that binds the whole fabric of the constitution in one indissoluble bond of union and amity." The constitution of that state, vests in the legislature, forever, full power and authority to erect and constitute judicatories, and courts of record, or other courts, with all the powers incident to a judicial department: and with special power to abolish the courts of common pleas, and courts of general sessions of the peace, and establish other courts, with the same power, as they may, from time to time, judge expedient for the due administration of law and justice, yet, the tenure of the office of judge in that state, is the same as under the United States. And, Sir, notwithstanding the entire dependence on the legislature, for the existence of the courts of common pleas, I cannot imagine that the independence of the judges has ever been affected by it. There is an honorable gentleman from that state now on this floor, a judge of one of those courts, who, with his associates, had the independence, since the adoption of the constitution, in their official capacity, to declare an act of the legislature unconstitutional. This is a demonstration, that the independence of judges doth not in all cases, depend on the certainty of holding their offices, or on receiving the emoluments thereof for life.
The constitution of New-Hampshire was revised and amended shortly after the adoption of the federal constitution; many parts of it are assimilated to the corresponding parts in the federal constitution. And I cannot doubt, that the power vested in the legislature, relative to the superior courts of the states, was at the time considered by them, similar to the power vested in Congress, by the federal constitution, relative to the superior courts of the United States.
In Massachusetts the judges both of the supreme judicial court and of the inferior courts, hold their offices under the same tenure as is by the federal constitution, attached to the judges of the supreme court, and inferior courts of the United States. By the constitution of the United States it is provided, that "The judges both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour; and shall at stated times receive for their services a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office." By the constitution of Massachusetts it is provided that "All judicial of-
ficers duly appointed, commissioned and sworn, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, excepting such concerning whom there is different provision made in this constitution." This exception has relation to justices of the peace, whose commissions are, by the constitution, limited to seven years, and not to the judges of the supreme or inferior courts, except for as it respects the courts of general sessions of the peace, formed by the justices within their respective counties. The tenure of office therefore is the same under both constitutions.
The legislature is vested with power co-extensive with the constitution, to establish judicatories, and all kinds of judicial courts which the welfare of the Commonwealth may require. This power is couched in such terms as I think will not admit of a doubt, of its extending, as well to the abolition of inferior courts, which may be found not to promote the best interest of the community, as to the establishment of those which may be deemed useful and necessary. And further, the constitution has vested the governor, with the consent of the council, upon an address of both houses of the legislature, with power to remove the judges of any of the state courts; and this may be done without assigning a reason.
And in addition to this constitutional vestment of the paramount power of the legislature over the establishment of superior courts, we have from time to time, for fourteen years past, at various periods been furnished with the most ample testimony of the uniform and inviolable sense of the people of that state on the subject. A short time after the adoption of the federal constitution in Massachusetts, a committee appointed by the legislature for revising the code of laws in that state, (on which committee, if my memory is correct, were all the judges of the supreme judicial court) made a report to the legislature in favor of the abolition of all the courts of common pleas in the state, and for establishing circuit courts with similar powers; this report was accompanied with bills for carrying the principle into effect; the plan would have discharged from service about sixty judges. The same system has been brought forward within their fifteen years, at every session of two or three succeeding legislatures, and strongly advocated by the members of the house; in one legislature a bill for carrying the principle into effect passed the house of representatives, but failed in the senate; in a succeeding legislature the bill passed in the senate, but failed in the house; and it has finally failed. But, Sir, neither the judges of the supreme judicial court, who reported the system, nor the gentlemen learned in the law who supported it, could have entertained an idea that it was unconstitutional; and I have been repeatedly informed from inimitable authority, that through all the different discussions of the subject, the idea of its being unconstitutional was never suggested by either party; but that the only ground of debate, and ultimate decision.
I was not a little astonished to hear my colleagues (Mr. Cutler and Mr. Hastings) avow on this floor, that the people in Massachusetts never would have adopted the federal constitution, had they not viewed it in the same light with those gentlemen who are opposed to the bill under consideration, when they must have been acquainted with the state constitution, and the proceedings under it, which I have mentioned. It is in effect charging the people of that state with the inconsistency of providing by the constitution for the establishment of inferior courts, which cannot be abolished by the legislature during the life of any of the judges; although they might be found unnecessary, for being made operative. And with vesting in the judges of these courts, power not only over the establishment under which they held their offices, and over the states granted at a time when the establishment might be thought necessary, but a controlling independent power over the legislature of the Union, and all the departments in the government, and was I to go over the constitution itself, I do not think it would be an exaggeration of the construction contended for by some gentlemen on this occasion.
Now, Sir, wide the constitution of Massachusetts vests the legislature of that state, with powers respecting judicial establishments under the state government, exactly similar to the powers vested in Congress, by the federal constitution, respecting judicial establishments under the general government, when the people of that state, have, by

much spirit, appropriating the gallant conduct of Captain Serret and his crew in the capture of a Tripolitan corsair of superior force; requesting the President to present Captain Serret with a gold medal with suitable emblems, and the other commissioned officers with swords; with a concluding resolution allowing to the non-commissioned officers and crew an extra month's pay.
After subsequent consideration, the two houses concurred in resolutions, approbatory of the gallant conduct of the officers and crew, requesting the President to present a sword to Captain Serret, and allowing a month's pay to the other officers and men.

Extract of a letter from the consul of the United States at Malaga, to the Secretary of State, dated April 22, 1802.
"No innovation has taken place in the quarantine laws on vessels from the United States, since the regulation mentioned in my last." Vessels that do not come furnished with a bill of health, certified by the Spanish consular resident in the district they proceed from, are kept in observation the number of days that the deputies of this board of health think proper, though they seldom exceed from ten to twenty."
"That vessels from the U. S. should be admitted to entry upon certificates from the Spanish Consuls in the ports whence they failed, that no contagious disorders prevail there."
A number of the friends of Don Ursuajo, the marked prisoner of state, whom we mentioned a few days ago to have been banished to the Philippine Islands by the court of Madrid, (for attempting to abridge the power of the infamous Inquisition) have also become victims to their zealous co-operation with him in promoting the cause of humanity. Among these is the learned Forselius, who, it appears, had excited his sentiments with so much freedom in a memorial which he drew up at the express request of the government on the best means for ameliorating the internal organization of the Spanish Monarchy.
Toasts drank July 4, 1803.
The following toast was given at New-London:—
"The Vice-President of the United States: The Burr of DEMOCRACY. The best friends of the people—themselvcs—16 cheers."
A number of the citizens of Queens county assembled at Newtown New York on the 5th of July, to celebrate the Anniversary of our National Independence: The day was ushered in with the demonstrations of joy usual on such occasions. The Declaration of Independence was read, and an appropriate Oration delivered by Mr. GURRIS. The company partook of an elegant entertainment, and the following Toasts were drank:
1. The day, and the principles which called it into being: May they be held in eternal veneration.
2. The people: The source of all legitimate government.
3. The union of the American States, and the constitutions which cement it: Perish the traitors who would violate them.
4. Principles and not men: When men desert principles, may the people desert them.
5. The President of the United States, the firm and unswerving friend of civil liberty and public economy.
6. The 4th of March 1801; which wit-
nessed the triumph of republican virtue.
7. The soldiers and statesmen of the revolution.
8. The Governor and State of New York.
9. Agriculture, manufactures and commerce, the three pillars of national prosperity.
10. Education, the safe-guard of morals, and the bane of despotism.
11. The 30 of June 1802: The day on which all useless establishment and unnecessary burdens ceased to exist.
12. Law without oppression; liberty without licentiousness; and religion without politics.
13. The Militia: May they always supersede the necessity of standing armies.
14. The American Eagle: May it never lurk from the Gallic Cock or the British Lion.
15. The Republicans of the United States: May they always rise superior to the arts of demagogues and the machinations of aristocrats.
16. The minority: May they continue to decrease with the amelioration of our political systems.
SENATE OF THE U. STATES.
The following statement shows the periods at which the seats of the present members of the Senate of the United States, will be respectively vacated. The vacancies occur on the 4th of March, in each year.
Table with 3 columns: Year (1803, 1805, 1807), Senator Name, State. Rows include: 1803: Anderson, Baldwin, Breckenridge, Chipman, Brown, Bradley, Th. Foster, Cocke, Colthun, Howard, Ellery, Jackson, S. T. Mason, D. Foster, Logan, J. Mason, Franklin, Sheafe, G. Morris, Nicholas, Stone, Ogden, Olcott, Tracy, Rufs, Sumpter, Wright, White, Wells.
By the first column of the above statement, it will be seen, that the seats of eleven of the present Senators will be vacated on the 4th day of March next. Of these eleven, three only are republicans, viz. Anderson, Th. Foster, and S. T. Mason; the former from Tennessee, the second from Rhode Island, and the latter from Virginia. As these three states are decidedly republican, the above three gentlemen will either be re-elected, or other republicans appointed to their places: so that the republican interest will suffer nothing by the expiration of their terms.
The other eight Senators, whose terms expire with the 4th of March next, are all federalists, viz. Chipman, of Vermont; Hillhouse of Connecticut; Howard, of Maryland; J. Mason, of Massachusetts; G. Morris, of New York; Ogden, of New Jersey; Rufs, of Pennsylvania; and White of Delaware. As the legislature of Vermont, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are already republican; and there is a majority of republicans in the state of Delaware, (secured by the election of a republican governor) the legislature of which state will consequently be republican at the next election; it will be plainly seen, that the seats of six of the above federalists will be occupied, after the third of March next, by republicans. That is to say, on the 4th of March next, the republican party in the Senate of the United States, will receive an addition of six members; and on the day the federal party in the Senate will experience a diminution of six members.
Further: An act passed at the late session of Congress, authorizing the people of the Eastern Division of the territory North West of the Ohio, to form a government, and providing for their admission as a member of the Union, on an equal footing with the original states. This new state, when formed, will be entitled to two senators in Congress; and as the inhabitants of that district were almost to a man republicans, no doubt can exist that their legislature will elect republican senators to Congress.
Besides this, it may be observed, that should a vacancy occur by death or resignation, in any seat in the Senate now occupied by a federalist, from any state in the Union, (the state of Massachusetts and Connecticut excepted) the filling the only states in which the federalists have a majority in the legislature) such vacancy will be filled by a republican.
We might carry our views forward to the year 1805, when, even supposing republicanism to remain stationary in the respective states, several federal members of the senate, whose terms expire that year, will be superseded by republicans. But this extension of our view we conceive to be unnecessary. The progress of political truth is rapid and irresistible; and we have not the shadow of a doubt, that before the above mentioned period, every state in the union will have a republican legislature; and consequently the senate of the U. States will be thoroughly purged of the few remaining minions of monarchy and aristocracy, who have assumed the imposing and specious title of Federalists, to conceal their designs against our constitution, and against those rights and privileges which it recognizes and guarantees to the people.
Of the changes which may take place in the House of Representatives, no accurate calculation can be made. But there is ample reason to believe, that in every instance of a change, it will be favourable to the genuine principles of republicanism. Several federal members from various states, whose term of service already has, or shortly will have expired, it is known will be succeeded by republicans; of the contrary, not an instance, we believe, can be adduced. Our national government will therefore very soon be administered almost exclusively by men devoted to the sublime & salutary principles upon which it was originally established; and the opponents of those principles are already reduced to a number insignificant and contemptible.

Extract of a letter dated Washington (Pennsylvania), June 23, 1802.
"Political affairs are perfectly well in all this quarter of the State; an occurrence at the last court however, demands public attention. Numbers of useful and respectable emigrants from Europe who have for some years settled in this part of the state, applied at the last court to be admitted to the rights of citizenships conformable to law, but judge Addison would not permit a single person to be naturalized. He at first insisted that the law of last session did not alter the restrictions of the former law. Finally however, after Rofs and all his party had laughed at the judge, he declared there was no evidence of the law being in existence, for he had not received any official copy of it. A person whom you know, produced the newspaper of Mr. Israel in which the laws are published by authority, and offered to make oath of his having seen the official letter of the Secretary of State directing the publication of the laws in that paper. This would not satisfy him, he would not take any evidence of the authority—and several persons are deprived of rights which the laws entitle them to, but of which a judge at his discretion has dared to deprive them. I trust that this additional act of misconduct will be taken up by the legislature, and that he will meet the dismissal which in my judgement he merits."
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT.
(From a late London Magazine.)
The practice of Stereotype printing, lately adopted in Paris by Didot, appears to be one of the most considerable improvements connected with literature, that has been made since the invention of moveable types. Those who confound the block-printing with the full pages produced in Didot's manner, are mistaken in their notions of its advantages. The solid blocks were carved or cut with great labor in a mass, whereas Didot's solid pages are cast from pages first set up with moveable types and are thus converted to the best use of which they are susceptible. Upon the stereotype plan, the page is first set up in moveable types, a mould or impression is then taken of the page with any suitable plastic material, and afterwards as many solid pages are cast from the mould as may be wanted. The expense of a solid page does not exceed that of resetting it in moveable types, & the obvious advantage lies in the power which they give of taking off as many impressions at any one time as are likely to be sold. Books, by this invention, will be greatly reduced in value, and those standard works for which there is a constant demand will never be out of print. Didot is enabled to sell at Paris, neat editions of Virgil, Plautus, Cornelius Nepos, Horace, Sallust, Ovid, the Vicar of Wakefield, Landon's Sentimental Journey, and Lady Montague's Letters, as low as seven pence half penny per copy. Mr. Phillips, of St. Paul's Church Yard, hopes to be able to present the British public, in a short time with neat and correct editions of the classics, and of many of the best English authors, on terms equally moderate.

PARIS, May 10.
General Delmas has received orders to quit Paris; the cause of his dismissal is as follows: on Easter day, at the church of Notre Dame, one of his friends observed to him, that we appeared to be reverting to our antient religion. "True," replied Delmas, "nothing remains to be done but to expiate the death of the two millions of brave men who died in the cause of liberty." This severe sarcasm was reported to Bonaparte, who next day approaching Delmas, asked him "what he thought of the ceremony of the preceding day?" "General," replied Delmas, "c'etoit une vrai capucinade" (a complete piece of canting hypocrisy.)—Bonaparte returned no answer; but Delmas having boasted of what he had said, Bonaparte was informed of it, and sent Brune to Delmas, to desire him to retract what he had said. Delmas having refused to do so, received orders immediately to repair to Valence, his native town, upon pain of being arrested.
Several officers were arrested the night before last, accused, as is supposed, of having formed a party in opposition to the projects of the First Consul, in favor of the catholic worship.
The new arrangements relative to the Concordat, experience in all their details a variety of difficulties, which do not entirely proceed from the unbelievers (incrédules.) The Concordat, the speeches of Portalis, Simeon, and Lucien Bonaparte, have been burnt at Aix; but it is unknown whether by the Jacobins or fanatic catholicks. We are apprehensive of revolts in all the dioceses to which the constitutional bishops have been sent. The bishops have been nominated by Bonaparte alone, contrary to the advice of all those who participated with him in the business. Even on the morning of Easter day, the legate refused to communicate with them, and compelled them, without allowing them the least delay, to sign a recantation of their oaths. Bonaparte in furtherance of the same system requires, that out of every twelve curates, four at least shall be given to the constitutional priests—that the same proportion shall be observed with regard to the chapters which are about to be formed; and that it shall be even more considerable with respect to those who perform the duty of parochial chapels. From all this there already begin to result dissensions of the most troublesome nature, although several bishops, as well as millionaires, have written to their ancient dioceses, with a view to engage them to submit themselves, and have entered into a correspondence for that object. The constitutional bishop of Rouen, (M. Le Blanc de Beaulieu,) after having made the necessary recantation, in order to become bishop of Orleans, sent to the constitutional Priests of his ancient diocese another form of recantation, with which the present Archbishop of Rouen (M. de Cambacérès) was not satisfied. He demanded of his priests a different recantation, which was refused. He then declared that he would not be received by them in his cathedral but those who were in the cathedral determined to remain there. M. de Cambacérès called upon the prefect to expel them which was done; but as this fact was known at Paris, an order of the second Consul (Cambacérès) was dispatched with all diligence, to put the constitutionalists in possession of the cathedral, and every endeavour has been made to keep these circumstances from the knowledge of the first Consul, whom it is feared they would extremely irritate.
LONDON, May 17.
[From our correspondent at Edinburgh.]
"Accounts have reached Vienna of the defeat of the Prince of Wallachia by Pashwan Oglou, and of an almost general insurrection in the European possessions of the Grand Signior."
"The accounts from Constantinople state a general rumour in the higher circles of the Turkish capital, that a body of Ottoman troops had been ordered by the Bays, and that in consequence of the present distracted state of that country, the British forces still remaining in Egypt had been solicited by the Turkish cabinet not to quit Alexandria. Should certain events in contemplation take place, there is a great probability that Great-Britain will endeavour to secure to herself the possession of that important country."
"The latest advices from Berlin, of the 4th inst. state, that the King and Queen of Prussia are to meet the Emperor of Russia, at Madid, on the 10th of next month. With regard to the system to be adopted in the plan of indemnities, there still exist material differences between the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin; and the Emperor of Russia, it is supposed, has assumed the office of arbiter between the two courts, by mutual consent."
"We are assured by a private letter, that a few days ago (we believe on the 3th) an attempt was made on the parade on the life of Bonaparte. The letter
further states that the whole particulars of this affair were sent to the English government; and probably they were brought by Mr. Mandeville. We have no further information by the letter; but from other channels we hear, that Generals Augereau, Massena and Bernadotte, have been ordered to retire 100 leagues from Paris. The Chief Consul has directed the raising of a corps of honor, consisting of 1000 men to protect his person. Sunday fortnight one of the regiments refused to consecrate their colours, saying, they had conquered without the assistance of the Pope, and would not accept of it. They have been marched from Paris also. The new ecclesiastical establishment meets with many difficulties, and the constitutional bishops of 1791 are no where well received. At Strasbourg, bishop Saurine was put in fear of his life, the people calling for the cardinal de Rohan. Something of the same kind has occurred at Besancon. At Matines, it is said, the people have publicly prayed for the conversion of the Pope, regarding him as a heretic!

New Invention.
THE IMPROVED SAW-MILL, for which the subscriber has obtained a Patent.
THIS improvement saves the sawyer much labour, and the work is also much more expeditions. The log being fixed, turned down, and the saw started, the whole operation proceeds without further manual aid; for, the instant the cut is made, the log moves back, and at the same time is guaged to the exact extent by the machine, ready for another cut in two thirds of a minute. The saw resumes its action in the log, and thus moves in alternate direction until the whole is cut up in any given dimensions, at which time the mill stops on its required, or at any number of cuts log which the sawyer prepares, for his attendance is unnecessary.
Any person or persons inclining to purchase the privilege of erecting this valuable and simple machine, or of adding the improvement, which may readily be added to any Saw Mill already in use, will please to apply to the subscriber at W. B. Brandywine Bridge, on the Philadelphia and Lancaster turnpike road, Pennsylvania, or to Dr. Thornton, commissioner, City of Washington. MOSES COATES. Washington, April 5, 1802. saw21awtf
WE the Subscribers, inhabitants of Chester county in Pennsylvania, having been called upon by Moses Coates, to view his new invented plan of fixing, were eye witnesses to the following facts:—
First, that in consequence of hands playing on a rag iron attached to the common rag wheel, the saw is relieved from the log. Secondly, that by the action of another principle the log is moved the required distance for the next cut, and that the saw is kept in motion after the log is fixed and turned down, until the saw is cut into the kind of boxes required. The whole of the above is accomplished by his new invented plan exclusive of manual labour.
Francis Gardner, John Fleming, B. Isaac Coates, Thomas C. Vickers, William Bailly.
