MAN DOCK: OR SUBSTITUTE FOR A DRY DOCK.
FOR the benefit of presidential philosophy, and for the promotion of "science falsely so called" we republish the annexed article from the Glasgow Courier . It is conjectured that an envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary will shortly be dispatched to Scotland, perhaps with two millions of dollars, to learn the details of the art of laying up and preserving, not ships but men. Should the mission succeed as happily as that of Mr. Monroe we may expect that at the opening of the next session of Congress something like the following will be found in that part of the Message which was last year devoted to the subject of a Dry Dock.
"Presuming it will be deemed expedient to expend annually a convenient sum towards providing for the multiplication of the human race, I cannot but recommend that the first appropriations for that purpose may go to the saving what we already possess. No cares, no attentions, can preserve men from rapid decay who remain out of water and exposed to the sun. These decays require the great and constant exertion of our energies to supply the deficiency, and will consume, if continued, a great portion of the time and talents destined to nobler purposes. To avoid this waste it is proposed to add to the city of Washington, a MAN DOCK, within which our present men may be laid up wet and under cover from the sun. Under these circumstances Philosophy proves that human bodies will remain scarcely at all affected by time. The great abundance of running water which this situation possesses, at heights far above the level of the tide, is employed, as was formerly intended when a Dry Dock was proposed, furnishes the means for soaking and laying up our bodies in a cool and watery bed. And should the measure be found useful here, other depositories for laying up and preserving our citizens may hereafter be undertaken at other places offering the same means. The plans and estimates of the work, prepared by a person of skill in philosophy, will be presented to you without delay, and from this it will be seen that scarcely more labour than has been employed in the production and maturing of one republican is necessary to save the whole."
From the unfavourable aspect of the late elections it is supposed that the president will be solicitous to hasten the business, as rapidly as possible, in order that the Man dock may be finished and ready for the reception of the present administration by the 4th of March, 1805, in case it should then be thought expedient to have them laid up . We understand that a considerable premium will be offered to any person who will invent a portable Man Dock , which the Commander in Chief of the Armies and Navies of the United States may have always about him, so that in case of emergency he may have himself instantly laid up and save the labour of a journey to Carter's Mountain.
Without detaining the reader longer in discussing the uses and conveniences of this newly invented dock, we proceed to the description of the thing, which is as follows.
(Gaz. U. S.)
From the Glasgow Courier.
Doctor Franklin, in one of his Essays, that "on the Doctrine of Life & Death," having recorded the recovery to life, of two flies which had been drowned, and carried in that state across the Atlantic in a bottle of Madeira wine, observes,
"I wish it were possible, from this instance, to invent a method of embalming drowned persons in such a manner that they might be recalled to life at any period however distant; for having a very ardent desire to see and observe the state of America an hundred years hence, I should prefer to an ordinary death, the being immersed in a cask of Madeira wine, with a few friends until that time, &c."
I with the Doctor had lived till now, to have engaged in an adventure with me, of visiting the ages of posterity. His curiosity can never have exceeded mine of knowing how things are to be conducted
in the world in after ages. But in so far as he has expressed a desire of only returning once to the world, and that at the distance of an hundred years I go beyond him in my desires, in that I am resolved to have a review of society at 500, 1000, and at 1500 years hence.
I am not confident of the practicability of the thing; and hereby invite any one or two of your readers who may be inclined to be of the party. I assure them it is a much safer adventure than that of the air balloon. We shall be able to make many useful observations, not only on the slow changes produced by time on the different species of animated beings, but shall also be able to ascertain, with more precision, the bearings and tendency of my proposed procedure.
Having some years since read, in the transactions of the Royal Society, an account of the recovery of a man who had lain under the ice in a pond for fourteen days, I set myself to consider by what means the principle of life had been, in this case, so long continued. This naturally led me into inquiries concerning the nature of animation. Life is the result of a well organized frame. Instances of suffocation of life often occur from suffocation and from strong agitation in the affections of the mind, whilst the organization continues unimpaired; by proper management life may, at any time, be restored. So soon, however, as corruption commences, so as to injure the minute texture of the body, revival is impossible. The corruption, where the animation is suspended in ordinary cases, commences. In fever and most diseases which occur, the body, in some vital part, is in a state of corruption before life departs; and, in many cases, when the state of the body is entire, corruption commences before the means of recovery can be applied.
The great enquiries to be made are—what is corruption? and what is the cause of it? How is it to be removed? and how retarded, or prevented? 1st. Corruption in animal substances, is the generation of animalcula, which preys upon the substance and destroys the organization: 2dly, I cannot enter into the cause of this animalcular generation; only observe that the circumstances which seem to favor its propagation are chiefly a certain degree of heat moisture: 3dly, In animal bodies, there is always enough of moisture: and in the larger animals a degree of heat sufficient to generate that corruption in a very short time, which precludes the possibility of recovery. Salts, spices, syrup, vinous, and spirituous liquor, have a tendency to prevent the generation of corruption, in the bodies of the smaller tribes; but we have never found that they penetrate larger, so suddenly as to produce the effect of preservation of the vitals; salts too, I should conceive, will have the effect of corroding the finer organs; so as to be fatal as the disease intended to be prevented. Freezing too, although it prevents all corruption, is as completely fatal as any thing, by tearing, and destroying the finer texture of the body.
But the greatest degree of cold next to freezing, appears to have the effect of preventing every species of decay, and to have no bad effect on the organization of the animal frame. Such a degree is to be expected in water immediately under the ice; and in such a temperature of cold is that which is to be sought for, for the purpose of preserving the body of animals so as to be at all times fit for being restored to life. If there were proper management in the endeavors to bring alive people falling through the ice in winter, this could never fail of success, unless some fatal contusion had occurred: But the great preparatory to re-animation, is most of all in general neglected. In Summer bathing the extremities of a man are so benumbed with the cold as to require some time before circulation is restored, although the body is warm: but how could circulation be restored, if the whole body were thus benumbed? Yet physicians often apply their rubbings and fumigations, and stimulants, to one drowned, not only in summer, but in winter, when the heart, the fountain of circulation is as cold as lead, whereas, every sort of stimulation ought to be carefully avoided, and even the slightest agitation (which, in that degree of frigidity may rend the tender organs) until the whole mass is restored to blood heat. Then, and not till then, should stimuli be applied.
Even in cases of stunning accidents, where the body is thrown into a state of
insensibility, and when nothing but immediate medical aid can save life; if medical aid is inaccessible at the time, it would be happy if the body could be immersed in cold, so as to preserve it from corruption until assistance can be procured.
At first it may appear too bold, to some of your readers, that I should advise people, who labour under any malady, of which the cure cannot, at present, be procured, to submit to cold immersion, to arrest the disease until a remedy can be obtained. It would be comforting for a man to see his friend snatched from the ravages of a fever, and laid up in safety for the return of a cooler season, or perhaps his whole family from famine, to await, under his care, the return of plenty. A friend, to whom I lately communicated my ideas on this subject, suggested the propriety of contracting with government for the keeping the army in peace time, to be in readiness for any thing of the kind for the present.
I have made some few experiments. I put flies among snow, and filled the vessel with water, and exposed them all night without the window. Next morning, on laying them on paper before the fire, they flew off almost immediately; spiders, beetles, and several other insects the same. Larger animals too I have restored, I have uniformly observed, that, where the body was preserved, entire, with the return of favourable circumstances, the return of life was a matter of course.
Let me now give my plan for retiring from the present day, and of returning to light in distant futurity. I have prepared at my seat in the country, a secret edifice under ground; have collected there the materials for producing artificial cold; have erected machinery, by which a thermometer puts in motion the different parts which alternately drop into the trough, where I propose laying myself and friends, so as to keep it in that precise degree of temperature which is expedient. A cavern accessible to the vicissitudes of the climate, by the expansion of air turns one notch of a wheel once in a year. The wheel has fifty of these notches, and produces a revolution once in fifty years. As I intend to have an experiment on a smaller scale, I have limited the duration of my first retirement to that term. At the expiration of which the trough is drained, heat is produced, and all other necessities are applied by this same machinery, for the spontaneous resurrection of the party.
Such as please to offer me their company may send their names, any time before the end of February next addressed to J. R. H. to be left at the post office till called for.
I am, &c. J. R. H.
Glasgow, 30th Jan. 1803.
TOM PAINE has recommenced his "useful labours," and again addressed the citizens of the United States, thro' the medium of the Aurora .—In that paper of this morning we are favored with his "Letter the Sixth," to the citizens of the United States. This letter, like most of his other productions since his arrival in the country, is composed principally of encomiums upon himself and upon his projects for reforming the world, and abuse of General Washington's administration. The only thing worthy of notice, in this publication, is a copy of the whole of Mr. Jefferson's affectionate letter of invitation to Paine. We have marked in Italics , that part of it which was last summer published in this country from European newspapers, and which was made the theme of a series of essays in this Gazette. Several things in this affectionate letter from the greatest Philosopher to the greatest Blasphemer in the world, deserve the serious attention of the people of the United States. As it will no longer be a question with any one, whether Mr. Jefferson really wrote such a letter to his table companion and bosom friend, we presume the democrats, especially those of them who profess christianity, will find much edification in perusing this brotherly epistle. It will be noticed that Mr. Jefferson became President of the United States on the 4th of March, 1801, and that he delayed no longer than till the 18th of the same month, before he gave orders to one of the ships of the navy to "receive and accommodate" his friend and correspondent. By the first sentence of the letter it appears that these loving and congenial spirits had been previously in habits of uninterrupted correspondence. No less than four kind epistles between the 1st and the 16th of Oc-
tober! By the part immediately subsequent, it is evident that they had been plotting some vast schemes of reform, which, instead of "wasting the energies of the people," will probably contribute to the "multiplication of the human race," and to the extinction of superstition and priest-craft throughout the world. But we keep the reader too long from the letter itself. Here it follows. We know not in what fit of intoxication the Blasphemer was induced to make it public.—His friend, the philosopher , will not thank him for it.
[Gaz. U. States.]
Washington, March 18, 1801.
DEAR SIR, Your letters of Oct. 1st, 4th, 6th, 16th, came duly to hand, and the papers which they covered were, according to your permission, published in the news papers and in a pamphlet, and under your own name. These papers contain precisely our principles, and I hope they will be generally recognized here. Determined as we are to avoid, if possible, wasting the energies of our people in war and destruction, we shall avoid implicating ourselves with the powers of Europe, even in support of principles which we mean to pursue. They have so many other interests different from ours that we must avoid being entangled in them. We believe we can enforce those principles as to ourselves by peaceful means, now that we are likely to have our public councils detached from foreign views. The return of our citizens from the phrenzy into which they had been wrought, partly by ill conduct in France, partly by artifices practised upon them, is almost extinct, and will, I believe, become quite so. But these details, too minute and long for a letter, will be better developed by Mr. Dawson the bearer of this, a member of the late Congress, to whom I refer you for them. He goes in the Maryland sloop of war, which will wait a few days at Havre to receive his letters to be written on his arrival at Paris.
You expressed a wish to get a passage to this country in a public vessel. Mr. Dawson is charged with orders to the captain of the Maryland to receive and accommodate you back, if you can be ready to depart at such a short warning.
Robt. R. Livingston is appointed minister plenipotentiary to the republic of France, but will not leave this, till we receive the ratification of the convention by Dawson.
I am in hopes you will find us returned generally to sentiments worthy of former times. In these it will be your glory to have steadily laboured and with as much effect as any man living. That you may long live to continue your useful labours and to reap the reward in the thankfulness of nations is my sincere prayer. Accept assurances of my high esteem and affectionate attachments.
TH: JEFFERSON.
To the above letter Paine subjoins the following remarks:
"This, citizens of the United States, is the letter about which the leaders and tools of the federal faction, without knowing its contents, or the occasion of writing it, have wasted so many malignant tales. It is a letter, which on account of its wise economy, and peaceable principles, and its forbearance to reproach, will be read by every good man, and every good citizen with pleasure, and the faction, mortified at its appearance, will have to regret that they forced it into publication. The least atonement they can now offer is to make the letter as public as they have made their own infamy, and learn to lie no more."

RICHMOND, April 23.
Shooting Stars.
This electrical phenomenon was observed on Wednesday morning, last, at Richmond, and its vicinity, in a manner that alarmed many, and astonished every person who beheld it. From one until three in the morning, those starry meteors seemed to fall from every point in the heavens, in such numbers as to resemble a shower of sky rockets. The inhabitants happened at the same hour to be called from their houses by the fire bell, which was rung on account of a fire that broke out in one of the rooms of the Armoury, but which was speedily extinguished. Every one, therefore, had an opportunity of witnessing a scene of nature, which never before was displayed in this part of the globe, and which, probably, will never appear again. Several of those shooting meteors were accompanied with a train of fire, that illuminated the sky for a considerable distance. One in particular appeared to fall from the Zenith, of the apparent size of a ball of eighteen inches diameter, that lighted for several seconds the whole hemisphere. During the continuance of this remarkable phenomenon, a hissing noise in the air was plainly heard, and several reports, resembling the discharge of a pistol. Had the city bell not been ringing these reports would probably have seemed much louder. The sky was remarkably clear and serene, and the visible fixed stars numerous the whole night. We are anxious to know at what distance from Richmond this phenomenon has extended. It is hoped that persons who have remarked it in other places, will not neglect to inform the public of the particulars; as such information may add, in a great degree, to the knowledge of Meteorology.
Since writing the above, we have been informed that several of the largest of these shooting meteors, were observed to descend almost to the ground before they exploded. Indeed, many of those which we saw, appeared to approach within a few yards of the house tops, and then suddenly to vanish. Some persons, we are told, were so alarmed, that they imagined the fire in the Armoury was occasioned by one of these meteors, and in place of repairing to extinguish the earthly flames, they busied themselves in contriving to protect the roofs of their houses from the fire of Heaven.
The circumstance of the shooting stars descending within a short distance of the ground, is however, a fact highly important to be known; as it has been generally supposed, that meteors only proceed in a horizontal direction, and never fly perpendicularly upwards or downwards. Those which we particularly remarked, appeared to descend in an angle of sixty degrees with the horizon; but as the smaller ones were so numerous, and crossed each other in different directions; it was only possible to ascertain with any precision, the paths of the largest and most brilliant.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 29. We understand that in the course of the ensuing year a line of STAGES will be established from RICHMOND to FRANKFORT in KENTUCKY, by which the mail will be carried.
The political and commercial advantages of this arrangement will be equally felt by those who reside on the Atlantic, and the western waters. Integral parts of one common empire the prevalent opinions and feelings of the one will be easily and promptly communicated to the other; and a more frequent intercourse of the citizens of each will add a new tie to that connection which we trust time will only render more indissoluble.
Notice.
THOSE gentlemen who have agreed to associate for the purpose of forming a volunteer uniform Company of Militia, will please to take notice that a Meeting will be held at Mr. Mott's Tavern on Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock for electing officers and making other necessary arrangements.
Persons desirous of adding their names to the list are requested to attend that evening.

SATURDAY, APRIL 30.
Extract of letters from a respectable house in London, to their correspondent in Baltimore, dated Feb. 1, 1803.
"Linens have been rising since the shipments of last year, and are now 10 per cent, and some articles 15 per cent. dearer."
"March 2.—Since our last, per the February packet, copy herewith, an advance of full 10 per cent. have taken place on linens, and none going, but at an immense advance."
A commercial friend favored us with the following extract of a letter from Cape Francois, dated April 1.
"The seat of government has been removed to Port au Prince, about 20 days since, and the campaign will open immediately with 12 or 13000 men. We are in daily expectation to hear from that place, the result of the measures to be pursued."
"The sloop of war Diligent passed here three days ago, in 30 days passage from Brest, with 2,000,000 livres on board for the payment of the troops, and by her we learn, that a large reinforcement will be sent there. A number of frigates and transports have since passed the Cape, on their passage to Port au Prince; by the best information it is calculated that there are 10 or 12000 troops on board."
[American.]
We are informed, by a passenger in the Assistance, arrived this morning from Charleston, that a fire took place in that city on Easter Monday, which was not extinguished until after having consumed a whole square. No news-paper was issued on the succeeding day, so that we are not in possession of the particulars.
[Phil. Gaz.]
It is now approaching to sixty days since the date of our last accounts from England. At that period events of great moment were apparently on the eve of transpiring. Hence there at present prevails in the public mind a more than ordinary solicitude after European intelligence. A number of spring vessels are hourly expected at all the ports in the United States. The winds generally have been favorable and the interval of suspense certainly cannot be much longer protracted; unless indeed, as is hinted in political circles, an embargo has suddenly been laid on all the ports of Great Britain. Even in that case, however, we might reasonably expect to hear of the event by vessels from other parts of Europe. At such a crisis, politicians are disposed to indulge in conjecture, and these conjectures generally coincide more with their wishes than with their judgments. It is possible the war may be renewed in Europe. As yet however we possess but very slender information on the momentous subject.
[Ibid]
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in London, to their correspondents in Philadelphia, dated March 2, 1803.
"Of coffees we are almost bare. A ship arrived from America last week, with about 1000 bags of St. Domingo coffee which will be sold this week, and no doubt the prices will be high. Except this parcel, we do not believe there are three hundred hds. remaining in the ware houses."
"Sugars continue to support their prices, and the quantity on hand has considerably diminished."
IT is astonishing how imperceptibly, yet how quickly the democrats of America have got into the slippers of those of France, and with what awkward pride they hobble about in them, worn out and tattered to rags as they are. By a sequence as perfect and connected as the links of a chain, or as a coil of a snake to its body, their proceedings twist and twine in the same sinuous track of artifice, trick and imposture, in which the revolutionary heroes of France moved along. Those led the van and hissed—these follow and rattle: and the same course is described by both. Atheism , with its pioneer Deism , cutting down all obstructions before it led the van in that country. Deism has for some time promised to be the established religion, as locum tenens for Atheism , which no doubt will soon follow. Philanthropy there was the order of eve-
ry day, the cloak of every crime, and the sure attendant of every evil. When Doctor Guillotin, a physician of Lyons, offered for adoption his instrument called Guillotine; he proposed it to the national assembly, of which he was a member, in a studied harangue, filled with all that sentimental flang of Philanthropy . His invention is indeed the very type of French Philanthropy , whose mercies are torments and whose charities are worse than Indian or inquisitorial cruelties. A Surgeon, to whom it was referred by the assembly to examine the instrument, reported, that having viewed it with a microscope he discovered the finest edge, toothed like a saw—by which means said he "il glissait d'une façon infiniment plus douce"—Or, in plain English, it would slip through the neck in a manner infinitely more pleasant. This dissertation was so much to the taste of the philanthropic legislature, that they rewarded the Surgeon with 2000 livres. The philanthropic inventor himself not long after reaped all the benefits of his own invention, for that Prince of Philanthropy Robespierre, cut off his head with it. At the Church of Notre Dame the cross was taken down, this blessed effervescence of philanthropic invention, put in its place, and " In hoc signo vinces " written in large letters over it.
There is a nation in India who poison all their rivers and fountains on the approach of strangers—but are so philanthropically averse to war that they cannot be got to fight even to deliver their women and children from the hands and the fagot of the enemy.
The Bramins will burn one or two living young women, of exquisite beauty, with the carcasses of their dead husbands, of eighty years old. But they are, at the same time so philanthropically, that they will not kill cattle, or eat meat; nay, the high flying philanthropists of them will pick & comb the vermin off from them, and throw them into places of safety—holding it quite criminal, and anti-philanthropically to kill them.
This is the picture of theoretical philanthropy—of that philanthropy which has one time served as a pretext for murder, oppression, and plunder, and at another as a pall, to cover the putrifying carcass of murdered national honour.
[Charleston Courier.]
In the sumptuary laws of the early planters of New England, women were forbidden to expose their arms and their bosom to view: it was ordered their sleeves should reach down to the wrist, & their gowns be closed round the neck. Our forefathers were probably of the opinion of the celebrated Dr. Gregory, that "the finest bosom in nature is not so fine as that which imagination forms."
Truth from a Democrat! —The printer of the democratic paper at Hudson says, Mr. Jay's mission to England was approved by every good man. True. But how many democrats approved of it?

The River St. Lawrence.
Nature has formed America, particularly with respect to rivers, on a much larger scale than the other quarters of the globe. Among its most noble rivers is that of St. Lawrence. This river beginning at Lake Ontario, and extending to the ocean, is seven hundred and forty three miles in length. At its mouth it is ninety miles wide. At cape Cat, which is one hundred and forty miles from its mouth, the St. Lawrence is thirty miles wide. At Quebec, which is four hundred miles from its mouth, it is five miles wide. Up to this distance from the ocean, the river is navigable by ships of the line. At and near Kingston, which is situated at the source of the St. Lawrence, that is, seven hundred and forty three miles from the ocean, the river is said to be from two and a half to six miles wide.
The channel of this river, it is reported, is better now than it was when the river was first discovered by civilized people. During the spring floods, the waters from Lake Ontario rush down with such rapidity and irresistible force as to remove the beds of gravel and even large stones in the St. Lawrence; whereby its channel is gradually cleared, extended and deepened.
When the lands on either side of this vastly extensive river shall be cultivated, immense will be the quantities of produce which it will waft to the ocean.
A communication from Mr. James Douglass, in reply to Mr. "No Aristocrat," shall appear on Monday.
