From the Vermont Journal.
MR. ELLIOT TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.
LETTER XI.—AND LAST.
I have explained my congressional conduct to the satisfaction, I presume, of every candid man in the district...
With the venerable subscribers of the declaration of independence, I hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal...
It appears to me that this cannot be called the creed of an aristocrat or a demagogue; it is that of an inflexible constitutional republican.
I shall conclude with a quotation from a speech to the electors of Bristol in England, by Edmund Burke...
And now, gentlemen, on this serious day, when I come as it were to make up my account with you; let me take myself
some degree of honest pride on the nature of the charges brought against me. I do not here stand accused of venality or neglect of duty.
JAMES ELLIOT.
From the WEEKLY WANDERER.
Mr. Printer,
I would beg leave, through the medium of your paper, to solicit my brother farmers, to make use of their ashes on their corn land...
When your corn first comes out of the ground, put one half pint of ashes around the hill; if your ashes are not good put the more.
A FARMER.
From the (Baltimore) American.
Messrs. Pechin & Frailey,
With indescribable pleasure, I read doctor Brevitt's observations on the blackberry leaf. I have long had an ardent desire to publish to the world the virtues of the root of the same brier.
Some time after residing in Charleston, S. C. a methodist minister called on me and informed me with tears in his eyes that his little daughter lay very sick with the dysentery...
she recovered in a short time to the great joy of her worthy parents.
I resided afterwards, in New England, and took a fancy to a charming little boy, of one of my indigent neighbors, who indulged me with the company of the child frequently at my house...
I then demanded the situation of the two children previous to their death, and was told that they swelled very much, even to have the appearance of almost bursting.
At another time, as I was journeying with my family through a small village in New-England, I called at a house where there was a young lad in bed very sick with the dysentery...
A FEMALE.
PEACH TREES.
Observing an article relative to this tree in the Farmer's Repository, I thought it might be of service to some persons, who have leisure and opportunity to make the experiment...
Make boxes around your trees about one foot in height, and in capacity, exclusive of the tree, to hold a peck, fill this in with the bark taken from tan vats, pressing it a little together...

From a London paper of April 3.
JOHN WALTHO, for setting fire to a barn at Armitage, in Staffordshire, was executed on Saturday last, in front of the county gaol.
NEW YORK, June 29.
Yesterday arrived at this port, the British packet Prince Adolphus, capt. H. May, from Falmouth, via Halifax, with the May mail.
Capt. Smith, of the schooner Melville, in 18 days from Martinique, confirmed the accounts before received of the sailing of the French and Spanish fleets from that place.
Capt. Smith, on the 16th inst. boarded by the Cambrian British frigate on a cruise; and received the following information.
The ship Huntress, of Wiscasset, from the City of Washington, bound to the Bay and of Malta, with stores for the American navy, was captured June 1st, in lat. 37, long. 74, 10, by the Spanish schooner Mary, Anthony Laurie, master, carrying 8 guns and 80 men.
Yesterday afternoon, the ship Mississippi, capt. Skidmore, arrived here through the sound, in 30 days from Nantz, having on board Mr. Livingston (and suite) late American Minister Plenipotentiary at France...
By this arrival, the editors of the New York Gazette have received Paris papers to the 21st of May, from which they have given a few translations.
Mr. Livingston is the bearer of bills drawn by the American Minister at Paris on the treasury of the United States, under the treaty of Louisiana; and 150,000 francs is also received in this ship from the Emperor of France, for the relief of the distressed French subjects in America.
We are verbally informed, Madame Jerome Bonaparte, had arrived at Amsterdam from Lisbon some days previous to the sailing of the Mississippi; but no communication was suffered between her and the shore...
Jerome Bonaparte was then at Amsterdam.
We are further informed, that, in all probability, the creditors under the treaty of Louisiana, will receive their bills in the course of the present summer.
The celebration of Bonaparte's coronation as King of Italy, took place at Nantz the 27th of May.
Bonaparte arrived at Milan on the 8th May, to be crowned king of Italy; and would return through Brussels.
The news of a treaty between Great Britain and Russia, is not mentioned in the French papers; nor did Mr. Livingston hear of such an event.

A son of the hon. Rufus King, and Miss Salie, of Plattsburg, also came passengers in the Mississippi.
BALTIMORE, June 29. The brig Mars, Murphey, & Truxton, Nantz, hence have arrived at Amsterdam.
sloop Atlanta, Tucker, from do. arrived at do. 16th May. Arrived last evening, schooner Mary, Chappel, 7 days from Charleston. After passing the bar, was chased by the squadron of French privateers, one of which (the brig) continued the chase, for 3 days, until he had passed Cape Fear, when finding it impossible to come up with him, wore ship and stood away.
Also schooner Baltimore, Wheeler, from Port-au-Prince, in 12 days from Bermuda, where she was carried in and detained six days. On the 23d instant, off Cape Hatteras was chased by a privateer nine hours, but escaped by superior sailing. 24th off Roanoke, spoke schooner Juliana, bound to Barbadoes, out 24 hours. Left at Bermuda, 17th instant, ship Manhattan, Lamada, of New York, from Batavia, restored, had lightened to pass the bar, and waiting a wind to get into deep water, where she would remain until hands came from New York to take her home.
Brig Nancy, Christy of Norfolk, restored on bail, to answer future sentence, to sail in a few days. Schooner Vulcan, Harris, of Boston final sentence not passed. Brig Kitty of New York ballasting. The British frigate Cambrian, Beresford, and sloop of war Driver, have sent into Barbadoes the Spanish privateer schooner Maria Antonia Lebo, master. This is one of these privateers who have lately infested this coast, was off New York, the latter end of May; she had on board when captured, 3 puncheons rum that she had plundered some American vessel of. She had captured the ship Charles Carter, Tompkins, of Norfolk for Wilmington, N. C. bound to Falmouth, and ship Huntress, of Boston, from city of Washington, bound to Gibraltar, loaded as the captain says, for account of the government of the U. States.
Also, a brig from St. Thomas to the U. States, name not recollected. The two first named vessels were re-captured in sight of the west end of Bermuda, by two British letters of Marque, on the 9th instant, I suppose to have been ordered to Europe.
Another privateer of the same nation, cruising westward of Bermuda, and had parted company with the Maria, a few days before her capture.
Also, schr. Morning Star, Newton, 15 days from Havana.
Left there 23d inst. brig S. W. Boyle, of Baltimore, and about 6 others, belonging principally to the northward. Spoke in the river, schooner Hope, that left Havana the day after him, informed him, that 7 American vessels arrived there that day.
Off Cape Romaine, was boarded by a French privateer, after examining his papers, suffered him to proceed, informed him that they had captured a Baltimore schooner called either the Fortune or Fortuna, as well as captain N. could understand, who asked him several questions, but could not answer him, being in chase of a vessel to leeward, endeavouring to get into Charleston.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. TUESDAY, JULY 2.
Departed this life, yesterday at 12 o'clock, Mrs. Jane Fairfax, relict of the late Bryan (Lord) Fairfax, after a short illness; greatly lamented by those who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
The friends of the deceased are invited to attend her funeral, at her late residence, on Mount Eagle, this afternoon, at 4 o'clock.
ANTIGUA TAKEN! A letter received in town last evening from St. Thomas, dated June 10th, states, that the combined fleets then consisted of thirty-two sail, one half of which went against and captured Antigua. It adds, that the harbor of St. Thomas was crowded with vessels of every description, from Antigua, waiting till the storm had subsided.
[Palt. Telegraph.] Captain Haylander, from Marin (Mart.) informs, that the whole of the combined fleet sailed from Martinique on the 6th inst. except two 80 gun ships and a frigate, just arrived from France. On the 13th inst. captain H. passed Antigua, and saw a large
fleet in the dusk of the evening, off the harbor of St. John's, standing off, and apparently making observations, which he believes was the French fleet, as the number corresponded, and they all appeared to be large ships. The probability was, that they had only arrived there that day, after taking in at Guadalupe such particulars as they had occasion for. The general opinion at Martinique was, that the taking of Antigua would be their first object. Previous to their leaving Martinique three 74's were sent against Diamond Rock, garrisoned by 117 British troops, who made little resistance, and capitulated after a siege of four days: the garrison were sent to Barbados in a cartel. The French frigates which arrived last from France bro't dispatches in 27 days from L'Orient, but nothing of their contents transpired: it was the report of the day, that the two French commanders of the army and navy did not perfectly agree, which was a principal cause for their stay so long at Martinique: it was also reported that Bonaparte, to deceive lord Nelson, had a number of letters written by the relations of the officers of the Toulon fleet, wishing them success in their expedition against Egypt, which letters had been put on board of fast sailing luggers which were to throw themselves in the way of Nelson's cruisers, in order to lead them astray, and which was supposed to have the desired effect, as no account had reached Martinique on the 11th of any English fleet arriving in those seas. It was said that the French fleet were in want of many things; their arsenals then being totally unprovided, their main object was to get possession of some of the English arsenals, to which they might have recourse in case of any accident happening their vessels: the number of troops on board the fleet was 10,000. He heard nothing of the sickly state of the Spanish fleet, as heretofore reported. [Ibid.]
SERMON by the reverend Daniel Dana, of Newburyport. We have lately perused with much satisfaction, a discourse by Mr. Dana on "The Importance of Virtue and Piety as qualifications of rulers," delivered at Newburyport on the 31st of March last.
Far from an attempt to render the pulpit an engine of exciting unhallowed and malignant passions, and blowing up the flame of party spirit" the author restricts himself to principles, which every good man will acknowledge to be both correct and important; the application he leaves to the consciousness of the reader.
The doctrines advanced in this excellent sermon, though cautiously preserved from political controversy, we venture to say are absolutely essential to the subsistence of a popular government; and the sentiments of the writer are communicated in a language so chaste, in a manner so mild, so unassuming and with such a pious regard to the dictates of ETERNAL TRUTH, that we recommend it cheerfully, convinced that it may give salutary instruction to many and just offence to none.
We here take the liberty of introducing a paragraph, which well merits to be impressed on the public mind. It might perhaps be quoted with greater advantage on the eve of an election, but we hope it will not be forgotten when those occasions return. [Repertory.]
"Open your hearts to the peculiar exigencies of the time. Attend to the imperious claims of this beloved country. Feel her interests as your own; and commit them to men of principle, of exemplary purity in private life; of open, unsuspected regard to religion, and whose patriotism appears less in plausible and flattering professions, than in costly sacrifices, and substantial services. In short, manifest your affection and fidelity to your country, by confiding her momentous concerns to the same hands to which you could cheerfully trust your properties, yourselves, your wives and your children. Remember that as our elections are important tests of national character, as they are fertile sources of public prosperity or ruin, if they are preserved pure, our nation will still be blest. If they are contaminated, the period cannot be distant, when this fair and favoured land will be deluged with irreligion and licentiousness, with injustice and confusion, and with the awful indignation of a righteous God."
The following correct remarks appear in a note in the 24th page of the same sermon.
"There never was yet a flatterer of the people, who had not some selfish purpose to serve. And the people may rely on it, that none hold their understanding in more sovereign contempt, none are more completely indifferent to their interests, than
their most abject flatterers. That flaming patriot John Wilkes, is a striking instance of the truth of this remark. "I have" says he, a real pleasure in finding out and following the opinion of the people. I will through life be faithful to their cause. I firmly and sincerely believe the voice of the people to be the voice of God: — When I do, I will obey it as a divine call, with spirit and alacrity, fearless of every consequence, and dutifully submitting my own private opinion." Yet this adorer of the people is well known to have frequently remarked among his intimates, that the public was a GOOSE, and that a man was a great fool not to pluck a feather. Accordingly, by a course of adulation and artifice, he possessed himself of a lucrative office in the city of London; from which period his professions and the people were equally forgotten. He had lived and died a supporter of the very men and measures he had formerly decried and opposed. Such are the detestable arts by which thousands have raised themselves over the heads of an abused and degraded people. The great Master of the human heart, has painted such parasites to the life. — Lowliness is young ambitions ladder, Whereunto the climber upward turns his face; But when he once attains the utmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorn'ing the base degrees By which he did ascend.

One other Tract near the last mentioned one, containing 402 acres, rented to tenants at will; a considerable portion of which is level and the soil good.

One other Tract near the last, containing about 400 acres. Both the last mentioned tracts are likewise rented to tenants at will; they produce good corn, wheat, and other small grain, and there is on each of them a considerable quantity of excellent timothy meadow in good order, from which the tenants sell a great deal of hay.
