ARMINIAN SKELETON.
Subscriptions are received at the Book Store of COTTON and STEWART, for a BOOK entitled,
THE SKELETONS:
Or, the Arminian Anatomized, and The Carnal Preacher Dissected.
In two Parts.
Part I. The Arminian, or doctrine of Universal Charity pursued, taken, examined, tried, condemned, executed, and anatomized.
Part II. The Carnal Preacher Dissected, with comments on several dark passages of scripture. In a series of letters, written at various times to friends in the country.
Conditions, &c. are left at the above store.
It is the opinion of several respectable clergy men, that the above book contains the ground work and principles of genuine piety, as it manifestly proves, from the scriptures of truth, that the doctrine of free will and universal redemption is unfounded.

From the NEW-YORK EVENING POST.
Republican Economy is a term which pos- sesses the same magic charm here, that the sounds of Liberty, Equality and the Rights of Man , once did in France, and the bless- ed effects of each have been realized about as much in one country as the other; for although used merely as hobby-horses , they have in both carried their riders to the Helm of Government. The delusion that has thus bewildered the people of this coun- try, will probably continue another four years, since all the reasoning that has hi- therto been employed to dispel it, has been without much avail. In my remarks, there- fore, I shall confine myself to that laconic maxim in Hudibras ,
"No argument like matter of fact is." It is not forgotten that from the com- mencement of the new order of things in 1801, the men in office stood pledged to their country to prove, that the Federal Administration had not only lavished the public money in various instances unwar- ranted by law, but had even been guilty of peculation , to the amount of untold millions . Three years have now passed away, with all the records and vouchers, subjected to the ordeal of the strictest scrutiny , and yet these numerous frauds remain undetected. Among the first specimens of republican e- conomy , which characterize the present Administration, was the unauthorised ex- penditure of 32,839 dolls. in repairing the French Corvette Le Berceau ; the original cost of which was only 13,349 dolls. Next follows the sale, or rather the sacrifice of fifteen government ships, for 275,767 dolls. which cost the United States more than one million of dollars. The average sales be- ing 18,384 dolls. it appears that nearly the avails of two ships were expended, or ra- ther wasted on the French Corvette. The celebrated Genevan financier next presents the world with a sample of rare skill in ne- gotiating the sale of Bank Shares , at a loss of more than 30,000 dolls. I will pass o- ver the unprecedented remission of fines to favorite convicts; as also the enormous expenses incurred in replacing all our Mi- nisters at foreign courts, by genuine repub- licans ; and endeavour to make some calcu- lations on the probable profit and loss re- sulting to the United States from that ce- lebrated instance of republican economy , ex- emplified in a late wild land speculation , a- mounting to the trifling sum of FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS . Was this money paid for the right of soil in any lands on the island of New-Orleans? No, every acre there had been granted by the former go- vernments. Was it for the lands between the rivers Iberville and Perdido? Here the Spanish Government and our own are at variance; the former still claim and hold possession of that Territory. It was then for the right of extending the jurisdiction of the United States to the Island of New- Orleans: and so far into the wild morasses on the west banks of the Mississippi as the Indians, the native proprietors of the soil, will permit. A jurisdiction that was supported at an annual expence to Spain of 400,000 dolls. besides the whole revenue of the country.
Most of the valuable lands on the west bank of the Mississippi have been granted under the former government: still, if no grants had been made, the U. States could derive no possible advantage from making settlements there for centuries yet to come. Laborious industry has been employed nearly three hundred years, in settling a- bout one thirteenth part of the lands con- firmed to the United States by the treaty with Great Britain in 1783, which are es- timated to contain 622,280 square miles, with a population of about six millions , exclusive of Indians. G. Britain, France, Germany, Flanders, Holland and Switzer- land, contain in the aggregate 442,720 square miles; a little more than two-thirds of the quantity of land within the U. States, with a population of about seventy millions , which is more than eleven times that of the U. States. No idea can consequently be more preposterous than that of the United States permitting their citizens to cross the Mississippi, while there is on this side more than three hundred millions of acres in a state of nature, whose fertile soil invites the hand of cultivation. Viewed, therefore, as a purchase of lands, this ac- quisition is really not worth one cent to the United States. The Spanish government claim, as part of West Florida, the lands on the east bank of the Mississippi, from the 31st degree of latitude to the river I- berville, a distance, as the river runs, of more than one hundred miles; and may at pleasure still obstruct its navigation. As this extraordinary purchase has been celebrated through the United States with thanksgiving and public rejoicings, and ma- ny thousand genuine republicans have been drunk on the occasion, it may be well to
calculate each state's proportion of the ex- pence of the first cost. Taking the present ratio of representation in Congress for the rule, consisting of 142 Members, 105,334 dollars for each, will give a product, of 15,000,028 dollars, or a trifle more than the price of this great acquisition. Now the annual interest of this then, at six per cent. amounts to 900,001 dolls. and 68 cts. and will be for each Member 6,338 dolls. and 4 cents.

Thus have the professed idolizers of re- publican economy embarrassed their country with an additional debt the annual interest of which is more than the amount of the late United States direct tax. But says the deluded and the deluding government- al sycophants, "the interest of this debt is be imperceptibly paid by additional duties on goods" consumed by the large subjects of that professed friend of the people who so feelingly comiserates the mouth of labor where he says "Government should not take from it the bread it has earned." Whe- ther a man is beguiled out of ten dollars, or pays it for a direct tax, the effect on his estate is the same. If the statements are as I presume them to be, in substance correct, I submit to the consideration of all canid men which would, in reality, have been most proper upon this occasion, a thanksgiving or a fast . CENSOR.
FROM THE BALANCE.
THE LIMNER.
MR. EDITOR. HAVING a little leisure, one day last week, I concluded that it could not be better employed, than in drawing my own likeness. I therefore instantly seated my- self before my glass—not my Reflector , Mr. Editor; for to own the truth, I have no in- clination to lay my heart open to the view of every inquisitive spectator. "There!" every reader will be ready to exclaim— "there is a dissembling knave for you— this same Peter Pallet, who is so fond of censuring others for their aversion to being transparently painted, is himself afraid to shew his heart." Hold, gentle reader— judge not too hastily. There is a vast dif- ference between exhibiting one's own heart, and having it exhibited by others. I once had the pleasure of knowing a man— (Alas! he has recently left this, for "a better and a better world," who, as it were, "carried his heart in his hand,"— who "wore a window in his breast."— And the consequence was, (I say it with pain) that heart was stung by the poisonous shaft of calumny; it was drained of its blood by a wound inflicted by the hand of envy; it was torn and mangled by the fangs of unfeeling vultures, even after it had be- come the tenant of the tomb. Therefore, reader, I say, judge not too hastily.— Learn to discriminate between the heart that involuntarily shrinks back from the stare of the multitude, and that which lies concealed behind a specious mask, from the eye of intimacy and friendship. I ad- mire, but I also pity the man who unbos- oms himself to every body. It is a me- lancholy truth, that such a man is sure to meet with more enemies, more persecu- tion, and more injustice, than the most egre- gious hypocrite on earth. I had but just finished my own likeness, (a description of which the reader will un- doubtedly dispense with) when the penny post handed me the following letter:
TO THE LIMNER.
Mr. Pallet, THIS is not a letter of complaint; for though when I went to your shop for a full length portrait, I was not a- ware that you was a (self taught) writer, as well as painter, still, I am not, on the whole much displeased with the account of me, which you thought fit to send to the press. Indeed, Mr. Pallet, after you had declared that I was "an excellent figure, hand- some," &c. you might well suppose that a little severity might be exercised with per- fect safety. But give me leave to tell you Sir, that your flattery and your censure are alike indifferent to me. The sole object of this letter is to defend fashionable female dress, and if I don't satisfy you that you are
altogether mistaken in your notions on the subject, I will consent to put on and wear any old fashioned dress which the most squeamish limner in the country shall di- rect.
In the first place, you complain of the present mode of wearing the hair: and im- timate that it is a shade to the countenance. This is precisely what might be expected from one who knows nothing of female mo- desty. A young lady must be possessed of an uncommon stock of impudence, to appear amongst people, with her face whol- ly unveiled, while her bosom is uncover- ed, and her body and limbs but little bet- ter. When we expose nothing else, we are very willing to shew our faces; but in proportion as we reduce the patterns of our gowns, you may rely upon it, we shall thicken our veils and lengthen our locks. In illustration of this opinion, I will mere- ly mention, that the modest delicacy of the female sex is such, that if a young lady should unluckily happen to be exposed in a state of nudity, her first object would be to conceal her blushes by hiding her face.
You next complain of what you conceive to be an improper exposure of the bosom, and in the same breath, acknowledge what effect this exposure had upon yourself. If the effect was so great upon you, that your pallet hung carelessly upon your thumb, and your pencil fell from your fingers, how must it operate upon our simple young beaux, who anticipate —and anticipate —
Though I confess that a naked elbow does by no means make a comely appear- ance; yet, I contend, that such an essen- tial joint ought not be confined in the tight sleeve of a gown. On the score of convenience , therefore, this fashion may be defended. As to the transparency and scantiness of gowns I have only to desire, that every person who finds fault with them, may be compelled, to wether through one hot summer, under an ample burthen of mus- lin, chintz and dimity. FANNY FANCIFUL. Peter Pallet, A. M.
BOSTON, NOVEMBER 6.
GLORIOUS CHANGE! FEDERALISM TRIUMPHANT IN SUFFOLK DISTRICT!!
Yesterday being the day appointed for choice of electors of president and vice- president, and of representatives to con- gress, in this state, the inhabitants of this town assembled for that purpose. The re- sult is glorious; it reflects the greatest honor on the good sense and firmness of our citizens, and will gladden the hearts of federalists throughout the union. Boston is still the " head quarters of good prin- ciples ," and Suffolk will now send a repre- sentative to congress, true to the prin- ciples of Federalism and the interests of New England.
The following are the returns from most of the towns in the district, and decide the date of the election.     Boston—federal electoral ticket 2277   demo. do do 1568   federal majority 709   Hon. Josiah Quincy, federal representative 1920   Dr. Wm. Eustis, demo. do 1567   majority for Mr. Quincy 253   REPRESENTATIVES   Charlestown, fed. 152 demo. 341   Medford, do. 100 do. 31   Malden, do. 25 do. 114   278 483   Fed. Maj. for Mr. Quincy in Bost. } 353   631   486   Maj. for Mr. Quincy 145  
Chelsea, Hingham and Hull are not yet reported; but it is certain the votes on each side will be equal. Thus we see a glorious revolution effected in the charac- ter of our representation in the national legislature. Dr. Eustis has undoubt- edly much the advantage, in point of person- al popularity, over any character the demo- crats can nominate. But the eyes of the people are opened to their danger. The sacrifice of our political influence, in the annexation of Louisiana to the Southern department; the alteration in the plan of choosing president and vice-president, giving increased weight to the large states, among many other pernicious measures, have been justly considered as menacing the subversion of that balance of power, which was originally secured to us by the

constitution. The free and independent citizens of this district have now turned their attention to one, who will set his face like a flint against Virginian aggrandizement, and they have succeeded.
Table with 2 columns: Location, Votes. Rows: Roxbury (120), Braintree (78), Adams (276), Seaver (74).
From Roxbury. "We herewith forward you a list of the votes given in this town. The usual number of federal votes here for three years past has been from 80 to 90. This year there has been an increase of from 30 to 40. Mr. Seaver had not so large a majority as the democratical electoral ticket by 44."
From Braintree. "I have the pleasure to inform you that the inhabitants of this town appear disposed to re-establish its character for federal republicanism. We have this day given Thomas B. Adams, esq. 78 votes, a majority of 4. When this decision is compared with the decisions at a number of late elections, you will see that we begin to know how to appreciate the merit of those who, while they boast of abolishing taxes, only change them."
NEW YORK, November 9. Yesterday arrived at this port the ship Sea-horse, Swain, from Nantucket, having on board the captain and crew of the Portuguese ship Ceyam, Captain Francis Antonio de Faria, out 47 days from Lisbon bound to New York with 8000 bushels of salt, confined to Arnold H. Dohrmann, which on the 15th October sprung a leak and kept both pumps going night and day until the 27th when in lat. 39, 35, long 71, 24, the leak increasing a gale of wind blowing at the time, the vessel lay on her beam ends, and the crew (40 in number) being exhausted with fatigue, they concluded their own safety, and committed themselves to the mercy of the waves in their boat, taking with them very few necessaries. After being out some time they were received upon a short allowance on board the Schooner Indiana, captain May, bound from Bonavista for Nantucket and arrived there in safety on the 31st Oct. Their boat flew to pieces as they were getting into the Schooner. Captain Faria, on the 24th ult. 20 leagues to the eastward of the Gulf Stream, spoke a yellow sided ship, out five days from New York for London 25 1/2 leagues in America from Portmouth on the West Indies, out 6 days, laden with lumber and flock and very leaky, who informed that on the second day after he departed from Portmouth he was obliged to throw over the whole of her cargo in a severe gale of wind, the vessel being nearly full of water.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12. By capt. Gilder from Cape Francois, we have the following melancholy account:— The humanity of captain Gibson, of the Pilgrim, having induced him to take on board some French whites, who wished to escape the dreaded cruelty of the blacks, the whole fleet under the convoy of the Pilgrim, brought too by the Pilgrim, a general search took place when the blacks discovered the above passengers on board the Pilgrim, on which they took the capt. Robert Tate, first mate and the thirteen passengers on shore; immediately after their landing they hung Mr. Tate and two of the French passengers on the public Wharf. Capt. Gibson was ordered to be shot, but the corporal who was ordered to shoot him, making some delay by refusing to do it without the orders of his commander, gave time for the intercession of some Americans and the captain's life was saved.
The Governor of Surinam, by proclamation of the 5th of October has prohibited the importation of salt provisions, and the exportation of sugar and coffee in American bottoms. On the 16th Oct. to windward of Desada, the Globe, capt. Williams from Surinam, was boarded by the Grand Bonaparte, a French brig of 20 guns, and about 200 men; the captain of the Grand Bonaparte was much dissatisfied, he could not make a prize of the Globe.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14.
Truth in a new light.—The strong and concise view of waste in our saving administration under the signature of "Censor" which we have to day extracted from the New York Evening Post, should be seriously and repeatedly read over by every citizen into whose hands it may fall. It is a plain "unvarnished tale" of the most serious and important "matters of fact." Not like General Smith's "matters of fact" such as the coinage of every cent costing the United States a half a dollar or fifty cents, and the other "matters of fact" of that gentleman so called, which are in general chiefly distinguished for their falsehood; but a true and considerate statement of things which are or may be within the knowledge of every man that can read and has learnt as far as the Rule of Three.
No observations from us could add force to the strictures of "Censor." But we may be permitted for the sake of our readers within the State to remark how far Maryland appears by his calculations to be committed in the late Louisiana purchase. It seems then that the share of the fifteen million of dollars, which will fall on this State, rated according to our representation in Congress, is upwards of nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This is our portion of the principal debt. The interest on that sum, will amount to more than fifty seven thousand dollars a year. By the cunning mode of taxation pursued by the ruling powers, money is to be in directly, and they hope insensibly, drawn out of the pockets of the people, for the entire support of Government. That is, there is allowed no other sort of tax but imposts on imported goods, which impost duty was raised by an act of the last Congress two and a half per cent higher, it having been before as high as a Federal Administration thought could be right or indeed tolerable. Whatever the pretence, the real object and necessity of imposing this additional tax were on account of the Louisiana debt, which debt the ruling powers have themselves incurred. At any rate it cannot be denied, that by means of the revenue so raised and by no other means is the Louisiana bargain to be at last paid for on our side. In the mean time, Mr. Jefferson and his Congress hope, that without laying any fault to them the people will go on paying, & throw the blame of the high price of the goods, they are obliged to use, altogether on the merchants and shopkeepers from whom they buy. It remains to be seen, whether the people have not more than the little sense, which this hope supposes.
There being, however, according to the last census almost 350 thousand men, women and children, white and black, within Maryland:—and they having altogether to pay only 950 thousand dollars of the principal of the Louisiana debt, it is clear by the rule of division, that it will not be quite three dollars a head, supposing every one to pay accordingly. True, where there is a large family and the father or head of the family is paymaster for all the rest, it may make some difference, especially if he happens to be a little poor or so. But in many cases, this, we suppose, may be only a just punishment on a man for having too many children or other dependents to support.
Again as the white population of Maryland amounts to almost two hundred and forty said thousand persons, and as the aforesaid interest of our aforesaid part of the debt aforesaid, is but a little more than 57 thousand dollars, it is plain that, as at the rate of between four and five to a family there, must be 57 thousand heads of families, so each such head be the father or master, can only have to pay as interest on the said debt, 1 dollar a year & every year, until the said debt may be redeemed by his paying three dollars a year more for himself & three dollars for every soul black and white in his family, by way of principal.
As it must be very comfortable to know exactly how all these things stand, should our subscribers in any other state, who have not the means of calculation at hand wish to have the calculation made for them we will cheerfully do it. As to the benefits which are to come of all this paying business, it is quite a different matter, and one which we apprehend Mr. Jefferson and his confidants can alone calculate. Should we ask any honest farmer or tradesman of the Northern, Eastern or Middle States, what advantage he has derived, or expects to derive from Louisiana, he might possibly be puzzled to answer. If he has got into his head any wild notions about millions of acres of new
land, he cannot do a better thing than consider well what is said in the above mentioned piece which we have published. All the effect of Mr. Jefferson's speculation, which we have yet seen or heard, of is "a cock and a bull story" about salt mountains, and hogs, and squirrels, and snakes, and prairies, and buffaloes, and solid sympathy and the duke knows what, not forgetting however the present prospect of a Spanish war, and the display of gun boats No. 1, 2, and for aught we know, 3, 4. (F. T. Herald.)
UPPER LOUISIANA.
At a meeting of the representatives of the people of Upper Louisiana (elected by the freemen of their respective districts) held on the 14th September in the town of St. Louis, present twelve members being a majority of the whole number (seventeen) expected to meet, after taking the oath of allegiance to the United States, and making a few observations on his appointment and the reasons which called them together, the president, C. Gratiot, said,
"According to this invitation, we have now met here, under the auspices of a free government, of which we are proud to call Louisiana an integral part, in conformity with the constitution for the United States, under which we feel happy to live. Nay in more strict compliance with the duties imposed on us as citizens, by the same constitution, we for the first time have here formed ourselves into a deliberative body, we for the first time are exercising the rights of freemen, to petition to the government the redress of grievances. Would to God our first communication to Congress, instead of being an application for redress, had been an expression of thanks, although from the known justice of Congress, I am confident we shall ultimately have thanks to return them.
Let then gentlemen, our first steps in this new career be as dignified as the occasion which induced us to assemble together, is solemn and important. Congress at the time of enacting the bill alluded to, were not in possession of sufficient information with respect to this country, to venture to give us such a form of government as we are conscious we are entitled to, and as I hope they will not find us unworthy to live under. We are calumniated in Congress. [The Speaker has allusion to the speech of Mr. Lucas, a member from Pennsylvania, in which he says, "the people of Louisiana have not been consulted in the act of cession, but have been transferred by a bargain made over their heads. It was a proof, continued Mr. L. this act had not been received with approbation by them:—that when they saw the American flag hoisted in the room of the French, they shed tears—this was proof that they were not on friendly terms with our government as some gentlemen imagine."] On the very floor of Congress our gratitude to a government absolute in principle it is true, but whose truly paternal benevolence we had uniformly experienced, and which as virtues go hand in hand, should have been construed rather as a certain pledge of our attachment to the principles of a free government, was tortured into a satisfactory proof of our not being ripe to enjoy the benefits of a free government. Rumours very injurious to our general character, representing us a set of covetous, rapacious land-jobbers, who, by false, ante-dated, counterfeited deeds, had monopolized the greatest quantity of the vacant lands of the district of Louisiana, were at the same time artfully circulated through all parts of the United States. Not an inhabitant of this district was on the spot at the time to contradict those unfounded accusations. Is it then to be wondered at that Congress under those circumstances, should have acted with respect to us with unprecedented severity? But Congress may have it now in their power to be truly informed of the real state of things, not only from the representations of the generality of the inhabitants of the district of Louisiana, but likewise from their different officers in this country since the taking of possession by the United States.
Before I conclude gentlemen, give me leave to observe to you, that invested as we are all with the confidence of the inhabitants of the district of Louisiana, it will be more particularly incumbent upon us, both in the course of the discussion which is to take place, and likewise after our separation, and when we shall have returned to our respective districts, to enforce among all descriptions of inhabitants, by our example and our advice, a due respect not only to laws of the United States in general, but more particularly still to the very law, the repeal of which, we now propose soliciting from Congress.
It is probable that his excellency William Henry Harrison, and the honorable the judge of the Indiana territory, will arrive here during the session of this assembly, and I am sure that you will join with me in the propriety of receiving them with that cordiality and respect which are due to the high authority that sends them, and to their own well deserved reputation, and that by affording them every information in your power, should they condescend to consult you on the subject, you will facilitate by every possible means the introduction of the laws of the union, in this territory, and thereby deserve the eternal gratitude of its inhabitants.

15,000 tickets at 10 dollars each, 150,000 N. B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.
This Lottery has been authorized by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of the tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
