Extract from FISCHER'S Travels in Spain, in 1797 and 1798.
From among the numerous subjects, which, during the author's residence at Madrid, furnished employment for his pen, we shall select his observations on that lovely portion of the species, whose influence over the habits and passions, the sentiments and prejudices, of civilized man, is so irresistibly powerful.
"If the men," says M. Fischer, "are distinguished by their peculiar character, the Spanish women are distinguished by the warmth of their constitutions. I will give you some account of them."
"A fanatical enthusiasm for the religious system of their country, pride that would bend every thing beneath its yoke, a singularity that knows no law but its own will, a passion for revenge, in opposition to which nothing is held sacred, and an unbridled love of pleasure, are by no means an amiable assemblage of qualities; yet all these are compensated in the Spanish women by a fidelity and an attachment that nothing can shake, by a strength of mind and heroism carried to the utmost height. All their sensations are violent, but they have a character of energy and sublimity that would carry you away in spite of your better judgment, and all your philosophy."
"The physiognomy of a Spanish woman bears the stamp of sensibility. Her tender form, her majestic step, her sonorous voice, her black and brilliant eye, the vivacity of her gesticulation, in a word, the whole action of her person shews the temperature of her soul. Her premature charms are too soon displaced, and fade with equal rapidity. The climate, the heating aliments they use, excels in their amusements, every thing contributes to produce this effect."
"A Spanish woman is sincerely and irrevocably attached to her religion. Her tender veneration of the Madonna, her devotion to her patron saint may occupy her infantine heart, the pomp of ceremony may amuse her unpractised senses; but these pious illusions, this mystical enthusiasm, and these sacred tendernesses, certainly open her soul to the attacks of love. To love a saint naturally awakens a sense of her sexuality, and thus a voluptuous devotion becomes, from sixteen years of age, the most important occupation of her life. In this view alone can the contradictions in her conduct be explained, and her continual alternation of penitences and aberration accounted for, as well as the physical influences exercised over her by the priests."
"Divided between religious duties and the pleasures of sense, a Spanish woman seems to be in a state of continual warfare between her conscience and her constitution. Yet, in spite of constraint, nature at length overcomes the rigour of her principles, and the ends with quieting her conscience with the idea of being able to expiate enjoyment by a mass or a prayer. Hence it is by no means rare to see a beautiful woman quit the arms of love to kneel before a Madonna, and being reconciled by this act of devotion, again hasten to give herself up to pleasure."
"The Spanish women, however, are very far from delicate in objects of this kind. With a warm imagination and burning passions, they are ignorant of those charms, those sweet allusions which the fair sex derive from delicacy. Hence the most unrestrained language, and the most lascivious looks, are incapable of making them blush; and what would excite the utmost indignation in a German or English woman, appears perfectly simple and natural to a native of Spain, who yields without reserve to such licentious images as the former would not dare to contemplate, even in solitude."
"It would be an error, however, to infer from these remarks, the certainty of success in the enterprise of a lover. They speak, it is true, on these subjects with the freedom of men; their lips, their eyes, their ears, are alike strangers to chastity; but their pride prevents their going farther. Such attempt from a man would show a sense of inferiority, whereas it is they must reign with uncontrolled power. Every such advance would therefore be rejected with disdain. They must not be chosen, 'tis they must choose. 'Tis they that take upon themselves the part of the man, to whom they only leave the duty of complying with their wishes, and giving himself up entirely to their will. Hence it is, that the most timid and the coolest of men are often more successful with them than the most enterprising and impassioned lover. Their despotism forces the former to
their charms, for their pride has fixed upon them as their slaves. The more indifferent these appear, the more ardor the woman shews; the more she shews her the more the pursues him. One would imagine the loved him, yet the only desire to be the object of his love. She seems to give herself up to him, yet she only seeks to reduce him to submission."
"They are, however, faithful and constant. The energy of their character preserves them from levity, and their pride from baseness."
"They are susceptible of the most elevated sentiments, of the most noble sacrifices, of the most generous actions; but the source of these must be sought, not so much in her attachment to the object she loves, as in the high ideas she entertains of herself. She considers her lover as her property, and uses the same complaisance towards him, that she would feel for herself; but she exacts in return the most absolute devotion to her will."
"Nothing can be more burdensome than the restraint attached to the title of lover; it is one uninterrupted succession of minute cares and attentions. Chained to the arm of his cara esposa, he must accompany her every where like her shadow. At the Prado, at mass, at the theatre, at the constitutional, never must he quit her, and the whole weight of her affairs, of every kind, rests upon his shoulders. Never must he approach her empty-handed, especially on feast days. To him a wish, however slightly expressed, a caprice the most undecided is a command, while the most inviolable respect for her whims and fancies, and the most undisturbed submission of temper are sacred duties; in a word, he must, in all things, be the passive agent of a woman, whose ardent imagination often commands what is impossible with the most impatient egotism."
"Such is the general character of the women of this country. We will now view them as relates to marriage."
"This engagement is formed sometimes from an appearance of mutual inclination, frequently from mere convenience, and the nuptial benediction renders it indissoluble. The lover, however, who has hitherto appeared the most humble slave of his intended wife, suddenly becomes her master on the very day of her marriage. But while he endeavors to assert his forgotten rights, the wife defends her's with so much the more obstinacy, and at the very moment when he is endeavouring to strip her of her authority, she increases her pretensions. Thus marriage becomes a source of perpetual hostilities, which nourish a division between the husband and wife, and which is the principal cause of the continuance of the custom of corchetos ."
"This word expresses generally a lover, but more particularly that of a married woman. Very frequently this lover has nothing but the name, and might more properly be called a friend, on whom are laid all the cares before described. Corchetos are rarely found among the middle classes, and scarcely ever among the lower orders; they frequently only serve for etiquette, but more frequently they enjoy all the privileges of a husband. This species of intimacy, however, is subject to such rigorous laws, that the two parties, in some measure, isolate themselves from all other individuals of their sex, and consider the least cause of suspicion as unpardonable."
"These ill assorted marriages sometimes produce the most horrid acts of revenge. I will relate one of the most recent examples which took place during my residence at Madrid."
"Donna Antonio, a charming woman, about 29 years of age at most, was married to a merchant, a man of mild temper, but capricious, and of a weak constitution. This lady had always lived a very retired life, till a young man from Valencia, who came to study the law at Madrid, was recommended to her husband, and had access to her. Donna Antonio was pleased with his person, which procured him her favor, and all the privileges attached to it. The husband, however, perceived their intimacy, and by means of the offers and honorable means he employed, succeeded in dismissing the young man, without affording Donna Antonio an opportunity of opposing the measure."
"The letters, however, of Donna Antonio, pursued her lover wherever he went, and love and revenge, rendered them so eloquent that the young man some months after broke his word, and returned secretly to Madrid. He then renewed his interviews with her at a private house, and his passion daily in-
creased. At length the time arrived that Antonio ventured to communicate to him a plan she had long since formed, of assassinating her husband, and offered him, on that condition, her hand, and her fortune. Don Juan shuddered with horror at the proposal, begged her to abandon the idea, showing her the dreadful consequences of so black an action, which she absolutely refused to perpetrate. Hereupon, at first, she treated him with the most profound contempt, and then gave herself up to all the extremes that could be suggested by despair. She employed, alternately, menaces, prayers, and imprecations, then recurred to all the artifices that revenge, or love, could contrive; till at length Don Juan consented, and the death of the husband was resolved. They were engaged in contriving the means of effecting this, when the following circumstance occurred to hasten its execution."
"Donna Antonio had presented one of her watches to Don Juan, but her husband soon missing it, he accused the cook of having stolen it, and under that pretext discharged her. The husband meeting the woman, upbraided her with her conduct, but she justified herself by revealing to him the whole secret. He then brought her home, concealed her in an alcove, called his wife, and made the pretended theft the topic of conversation. The remainder of this interview may easily be imagined. And now all was lost, and nothing but the death of her husband could save her. The grief of her husband for the infidelity of his wife, brought on a fever, and he was obliged to confine himself to his bed. It was, therefore, determined to send all the servants out on the following Sunday, and leave the patient alone. The opening of the door of the balcony was the signal agreed on, and thus the plot was executed. The lover entered the apartment with a poignard in his hand, fell upon the sick man, gave him several stabs in the belly, and made his escape. But the unfortunate husband calling for help, a young woman, who was with her aunt, Donna Antonio, heard him. The noise of Don Juan, in escaping, also attracted her attention, as she ran to the apartment of her uncle, whom she found weltering in his blood, and immediately called her aunt. It may easily be conceived that the latter did not fail to cry out for help too, and to feign the deepest despair. Meanwhile the young man had gained the gate of Toledo, and was going to quit Madrid, when he recollected he had no money; he therefore turned back, and went to his apartment to get some, but strongly impressed with the embarrassment, in which he imagined the object of his love to be, he went to a woman of his acquaintance, and there waited to receive some tidings of her."
"Two days passed on, the report of this assassination spread over Madrid, and in the interval, the person who was in the secret of their connection, revealed it to her confessor, who advised her to go, and inform the aldermayer. The suspicion was confirmed by an intercepted letter, and the culprits were arrested. Don Juan immediately confessed, and Donna Antonio, who had at first denied her crime, was convicted. The prosecution continued four months; after which they were both condemned, and sentenced to suffer death. All the interest, and the most considerable offers were made in vain. At first Donna Antonio flew into a rage, when she was informed that her lover had confessed, and loaded him with reproaches, and with abuse; but in her last moments her love seemed to be renewed with increased ardor, and when her sentence was read to her, she asked, 'And will Don Juan suffer the same fate?' Which being answered in the affirmative, she replied, 'I am much more grieved, gentlemen, for him than for myself,' and immediately fainted."
"The day of execution at length arrived, for which a scaffold had been erected in the Plaza-mayor. The two culprits having received the sacrament in the Chapel of the Dominicans, were conducted to the executions by the confraternity del Refugio. They were both dressed in black, and Donna Antonio wept. She would have embraced her lover for the last time, but he turned away his head, till the confessor at length reconciled them. She had begged for a favour to be strangled first, but the sentence was that both should be executed at the same moment. They were each on a separate seat; Don Juan fainted at the moment when the word was put round him, but Donna Antonio sat with great decency; calling her eyes upon her lover. They were dispatched in about a minute."
"According to custom the bodies remained till sunset. Twelve candles of yellow wax burned near them on black stands, and some of the executioner's attendants kept guard. The whole square swarmed with people from four in the morning, and continued to throughout the day. The observations, and judgments of the spectators, all bore the national character. The face of the deceased being black, in consequence of the reflex blood during suffocation, the people of course attributed this to the violence the devil had done to their souls. They compared the two countenances. The men made excuses for Don Juan, and the women took up the defence of Donna Antonio. The majority pitied their unhappy fate. This probably it was that induced a citizen some days after to say in his sermon 'That he knew for certain, that Madrid contained thousands of women one half of whom had been guilty of similar crimes and the other meditated the perpetration of them.'"
"Passing the winter of 1797-8, at the capital, our traveller seems to have directed a considerable portion of his attention to the state of Spanish literature at that period. He introduces an extensive notice on this subject, and a catalogue of the principal Spanish works, both original and translated, that have appeared since the year 1790."
"Taking leave of the metropolis, he proceeded by way of Badajoz, to Cadiz, visited Seville, Valencia, and Barcelona, and embarked on the last mentioned town for Genoa on his return to his native country."
"We shall conclude this article with Mr. Fischer's description of a popular part of the theatrical diversions of the inhabitants of Cadiz."
"When the play is ended, the stage is converted into a magnificent apartment, the orchestra again strikes up, the castagnettes are heard, and a dancer and his partner come forth from opposite sides, each in the graceful Andalusian costume, which seems invented for dancing, and dart towards each other as if they had been long seeking each other. The lover seems about to embrace the object of his passion, who appears ready to throw herself into his arms; but she suddenly turns round, her partner half angry does the same, and immediately the music stops, generally in the middle of the bar. The art of the dancers consists in a rapid, equal, and neat poise, and stopping so accurately together, as to seem rooted to the ground opposite to each other. They now appear undecided, but presently the music which begins again, re-animates and quickens their motions. The lover now grown more ardent, endeavors to express his desires, and his beloved receives him with more tenderness, her looks become more languishing, her bosom palpitates with more force, and she extends her arms towards him. Vain hope! too timid to meet him, she flies off again, till a new pause, gives them fresh courage."
"The music now more lively, gives wings to their feet, and inebriated with passion, the lover again darts towards his mistress, who transported with similar sensations, flies with ardour to meet him. They join their arms, the lips of the fair dancer open, and she seems ready to surrender at discretion. The music now gives louder and stronger sounds, a more rapid melody, and the motions of the dancers are redoubled. 'Tis a kind of intoxication of delight, and the same sensations seem to animate them both; each muscle is alive, and every pulsation is accelerated, when suddenly the music stops, and the dancers at the same instant become motionless, and disappear. The curtains fall, and the illusion of the spectators is dissolved."

To the politicians of a friend we are indebted for the "Moteur de la Louisiane" of the 21 of April, from which is taken the following account of the reception of Citizen Laffite, Colonial Prefect at the city of New Orleans. The Consular Act, defining the power of the Captain General, Colonial Prefect, and Commissary of Justice, clearly proves the cession of the Province of Louisiana by the Kingdom of Spain to the French Republic. Citizen Laffite, in his capacity of Colonial Prefect, has virtually taken possession of the province. How far the recent order of the Court of Spain to reinstate the United States in their right of Deposit at New Orleans, will be respected by Prefect Laffite, will soon be demonstrated. The Prefect's proclamation, which has lately appeared in the public prints, has also been received. The translation of this interesting proclamation, as a ready published, is in substance perfectly correct.
By private correspondence we understand that the Prefect has declared that his Court had no knowledge of the cession of the port of New Orleans; on the contrary, had he arrived before this event, it should not have taken place. It is presumed that every facility to an amicable intercourse with the upper settlements, will be extended by the Prefect.
Reception of Citizen Laffite, Colonial Prefect of the French Colony of Louisiana, at New Orleans. Translated from the Daily Advertiser, from the Supplement to the Moteur de la Louisiane. New Orleans, Saturday, 22 of April, 1803.
The Governor of Louisiana dispatched his eldest son, Captain Don Manuel, and M. Calderon, Sub-lieutenant, to meet Citizen Laffite, Colonial Prefect. The Intendant, on his part, sent Don Raphael Remos, Commissary of War, in the Custom House tender. Citizen Laffite arrived at the river in the Government Bark, and entered the city on Saturday last, the 26th of March, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He landed at the Governor's, under a discharge of the artillery of the fort.
The Colonial Prefect was attended by his adjutant-major, the officers of the garrison and of the place, together with the principal civil and ecclesiastical characters.
From thence the Prefect went to the house of M. Bernard, which had been prepared for his reception.
Shortly after, the Governor, attended by a large retinue, waited on him.
On Sunday and for several succeeding days, the Prefect received the visits of the public officers and principal inhabitants.
He testified on all occasions, the decisive intention of the French government to promote the prosperity and happiness of the colony, to support good order, to maintain in full force the laws respecting the condition of individuals, to protect religious worship without any change in its establishments, to respect every treaty with neighbouring powers, and to carefully cherish with them the ties of amity and confidence.
He announced that the Captain General, with the troops of the expedition had, in all probability, failed from Batavia, about the last of January, and that they would arrive in this colony about the middle of April. He spoke of the character and views of the Captain General in such a light, as to render his arrival most ardently expected.
The Colonial Prefect spent the rest of the week in visiting the public edifices and magazines, and in making, in concert with the Governor, the necessary preparations for the support and lodging of the expected forces.
The Government and Custom House dispatch boats returning to the Detour Anglois (English Turn) to bring Madame Laffite and her daughters; who arrived at the Prefecture on Sunday evening.
The Intendant united his exertions with those of the Governor to afford Citizen Laffite, the Colonial Prefect, a reception due to the Government which sent him from the Government which received him.
Next follow the Prefect's proclamation, which has already appeared in the Daily Advertiser, of the 5th instant.
The Moteur also contains the following Extract.
EXTRACT From the Register of the Deliberations of the Consuls of the Republic.
Paris, 24th Fructidor, Year 10 of the Republic one and indivisible.
The Consuls of the Republic, on the report of the Marine and Colonies, decree as follows:
Louisiana shall be governed by three magistrates; viz. a Captain General, a Colonial Prefect, and a Commissary of Justice.
TITLE I. Of the Captain General.
Art. 1. The Captain General has under his immediate orders the land and marine forces, the national guards, and the gendarmerie. He is exclusively charged with the internal defence of Louisiana.
2. He provides, provisionally, for every military employment, according to the order of gradual advance, as high as chief of battalion or squadron, exclusively, and proposes to the Minister all the changes to be made in the superior grades.
3. He delivers all passports at Louisiana. He ordains every thing relative to military subjects. He communicates, in behalf of the colony, with the governments of neutral countries, allies and enemies, on the continent of America and the Antilles.
He determines and ordains every year, with the Colonial Prefect, the necessary works and repairs of fortifications, the opening of new roads or communications with old ones. He decrees, in conjunction with the Prefect, the state of all the expenses to be incurred in the course of the year, conformably to public exigencies, to be forwarded to the Minister with a sketch of the receipts necessary to defray the same. He exercises, in short, all the power heretofore attributed to the Governors General of colonies, saving always the exceptions in the present article.
4. The Captain General cannot infringe directly nor indirectly the functions of the Colonial Prefect, of the Commissary of Justice, nor of the Tribunals; but he is at full liberty to exact from them every intelligence he shall deem necessary to demand, and which they shall be obliged to furnish, with respect to departments of public service whatever.
5. He can moreover, in case of urgent necessity, and of his own responsibility, supersede in whole or part the execution of the laws and regulations, after having on all occasions deliberated with the Colonial Prefect or the Commissary of Justice, without being prevented by their opinion to the contrary: for this purpose he shall keep a register of deliberations, in which the motives shall be transcribed and signed, a copy of which shall be immediately forwarded to the Minister.
6. Every three months a formal duplicate of all the deliberations held in common shall be likewise addressed to the Minister.
7. The power of granting the vacant lands of Louisiana belongs to the Captain General, in concurrence with the Colonial Prefect, conforming to the established regulations; in case of a difference of sentiment, the voice of the Captain General shall preponderate, the whole subject to the approbation of government.
8. The Captain General nominates, after the delay of ten days, ad interim , to all vacancies in all parts of the administration and of the judiciary order, on the respective presentations of the Colonial Prefect or of the Commissary of Justice, each as concerns himself.—This presentation refers only to places to which government nominates directly in France, and not to inferior employments.
9. All the nominations thus made by the captain general in the military department, in the administration and judiciary orders, shall not be definitive until confirmed by the First Consul.
10. No place in the different departments of the service can be created but by a decree of the consuls.
11. All commands, orders and proclamations, emanating from the captain general, shall always be prefaced with these words. In the name of the French republic.
12. The captain general, in case of death, or absence out of the colony, shall, ad interim , be replaced by the colonial prefect. In case both are at the same time absent, the second general commandant in Louisiana shall have the authority of captain general.
Title II. Of the Colonial Prefect.
Art. 13. The colonial prefect has under his direction the administration of the finances, the general accounts, and the destination of the officers of the administration in Louisiana.
14. The Colonial prefect is exclusively charged in Louisiana, with the civil administration and the superior police of the Colony; with all that comprehends the levy of contribution, receipts, expenses, accounts, customs, the pay and maintenance of the troops, the appointments of the different establishments, magazines, supplies, consumption, leases and rents, sales and purchases, hospitals, baths, salaries of workmen, public labour, ferries and ferry boats, national domains, affairs concerning emigrants, the distribution of waters, maritime inscriptions, the police of navigation, agriculture and commerce, verification of goods, suppression of contraband trade, division of prizes, the marine invalids, the government of the blacks, public instruction, public worship, privileges, of the press; and generally whatever has heretofore been attributed to the intendants or Magistrates in particular, or that has been assigned to them, in common with the governor general; so far, nevertheless, as is not derogatory to the present article.
15. The accountants and all the civil employments of the administration are under the orders of the colonial Prefect of Louisiana.
16. The officers of administration, exercise, under his authority, the functions of sub-prefects and commissaries of the marine and war, in the departments (arrondissements), of the colony assigned to them.
17. With regard to the assessment of the contributions, which shall be levied by the government, the Prefect cannot proceed therein, until after having consulted three principal inhabitants and three principal merchants of the colony, who, nevertheless, shall only have a deliberative voice. A process-verbal of their opinion shall be prepared to be forwarded to the minister.
18. The colonial Prefect, the Sub-prefects and heads of administration, may require the military force, gendarmerie to execute their mandates; indeed, more ample force if necessary, which cannot be refused.
Title III. Of the Commissary of Justice.
23. The commissary of justice shall have the superintendence of the tribunals of Louisiana and that of the ministerial officers established by them: He shall take care that strict account of their proceedings shall be rendered to him, by the Presidents of the tribunals, and by the commissaries of government.
24. He shall exercise the greatest care towards a prompt distribution of justice, as well in civil as criminal cases; he shall likewise provide for the safety and salubrity of the public prisons.
25. He shall preside in the tribunals whenever he may think proper, and shall have a deliberative voice.
26. He shall direct the safe keeping of the records and deposits of the civil acts, and superintend the execution of the laws, tariffs and regulations. He shall receive all claims respecting the administration of justice, and give the necessary consequential orders.
27. Within the first ten days of every month, he shall cause to be made out a statement inspected by the President of each tribunal, and signed by the clerk, as well of the proceedings adjudged in the preceding month, as of those still undecided and in train of process, to be remitted to the captain general, who is to render an account thereof to the minister.
28. The commissary of justice has alone the right to make provisional regulations on the subject of process, without departing from the laws, and to publish the said regulations under the forms prescribed in the 11th article of Title 1st, when they shall have been assented to by the captain general. He shall have them
registered in the office of the tribunals, by his own authority.
29. The agents of government cannot be prosecuted for faults committed in their functions, without the previous authority of the commissary of justice.
30. No citizen not attached to public service, can be arrested extra-judicially, but by a Visa of the commissary of justice; who shall render an account thereof to the minister.
31. The commissary of justice shall prepare such laws as he shall judge best adapted to compile the future civil and criminal code of the colony he superintends. His plans shall be communicated to the captain general, and forwarded to the minister, with the process-verbal of their deliberations and respective opinions.
32. He is specially charged with the police respecting vagrants and vagabonds, the disturbers of public tranquillity, against whom he shall issue his mandate of arrest, on condition of prosecuting them before the competent tribunals.
33. He may require the military force, or even more adequate force, if necessary, as well for the execution of his own orders or ordinances, as for the execution of the judgment of the tribunals; which force cannot be refused.
34. The commissary of justice, in case of death, or absence out of the colony, shall be replaced provisionally, by the commissary of government, attached to the tribunal of appeals, and the latter by the first of his substitutes.

AMERICAN SEAMEN.
As the indications of approaching war in Europe may terminate in that event, we wish to call the attention of the citizens of the United States, and particularly the seamen, to such measures as are calculated for their security abroad, and which are customary in time of war. Should it happen, we hope we shall not witness as one of its consequences a repetition of that indiscriminate scene of impressment, of which, during the last, our sea-faring citizens were so often the victims.
But before going to sea at such a precarious time as the present, it behoves the seamen to provide themselves with the passport or protection directed to be issued at the collector's offices by the act of Congress, and to be careful not to confide in any others, such as those issued by notaries public, justices of the peace, &c. The difficulty may be found to be of much consequence; for should a seaman claim exemption from impressment by virtue of a protection of the latter unauthorised kind, he would probably be told that as he had not followed the laws of his own country in taking it from the collector, he was entitled to no favor and that he could not be considered as an American. This caution is more particularly addressed to the seamen themselves, but its observance must depend in a great degree upon the vigilance of the merchants and masters of vessels in seeing it strictly attended to by the former.
The following SONG, sung on the 4th of MARCH, at an entertainment given by the American Consul at the Hotel in London, has merit, which entitles it to high rank among our popular airs.
TUNE—ANACHREON IN HEAVEN.
WELL met, fellow freemen! let's cheerfully greet The return of this DAY, with a copious libation: For Freedom this day in her chosen retreat, Hail'd her favorite JEFFERSON Chief of our nation.
A Chief, in whose mind Republicans find, Wisdom, probity, honour and firmness combin'd.
Let our wine sparkle high, whilst we gratefully give, The health of our Sachem, & long may he live.
Political frenzy howl'd wild o'er the earth, Ambition and rapine with blood ting'd the ocean; While JEFFERSON tipling sage systems for birth, Found the peaceful legitimate path to promotion.
With reason his guide, At WASHINGTON's side, His vital and talents in often were tried. Now he's Chief in command let the universe see, How happy a nation of freemen can be!
Whilst Europe's proud Chiefs wield the sword or the pen, By force or by fraud to acquire new possessions; Our rulers speak 'peace and good will to all men' And their practice accords with their cordial professions:
But should foreign foes Their rancour disclose, And by discord or arms dare disturb our repose,
Let our Chief give the word, and he safely may trust, That those haughty disturbers shall soon "bite the dust."
May JEFFERSON's genius sublimely controul, The carping of envy, the frenzy of faction; At his bidding let union attend each free soul, And Godlike philanthropy spring into action.
Tons bialing and bick, By his country cared, Sweet peace at all forever illumine his break! Admiring his virtues, again let us give, The health of our Sachem, and long may he live.
A sage federal print of New-York announces the arrival of the President of the U. S. at Charleston! and then puts these witty questions:
Is Mr. Jefferson travelling for the sake of his health? Or does he wish to exhibit himself to his southern friends? Or is he on his way to New-Orleans? Or is he jealous of the intrigues of Mr. Burr who let out before him?
ANSWER—Mr. Jefferson's health is excellent without the aid of travelling. His actions exhibit him in the best light to his enemies as well as friends—He has by wise measures secured our rights at New Orleans and preferred peace—He stands too firmly in the affections of his fellow citizens to fear the intrigues of Mr. Burr, or any other man.
The republicans of New-Jersey, from the local elections recently held in that state, appear to have gained considerable ground. Let them enlighten the great body of the people, and their triumph at the next general election is certain. Every thing depends on this.
The additional returns daily received from New-York develop a rapid increase of republican sentiments. In 180

county have the republicans sustained a defeat where they were previously triumphant; while in several counties they are victorious for the first time since the reign of federal delusion.
JOHN G. JACKSON, republican, is elected to Congress, for the district of Harrison, Virginia.
Capt. Ray, arrived at New-York on Saturday from New-Orleans, informs that the French Prefect, in going up to New Orleans, landed French officers to take possession of all the fortifications on the Mississippi.
Accounts from the Hague mention that Bethier is to be Captain-General of Tobago; and that General Garcaeus is to replace him, as commander in chief of the expedition to Louisiana.

Capt. Pruneau, of the French schooner Le Pere Gire, from Aux Cayes, informs that the day after he left that place, the whole island, both coast and interior, appeared in flames. This was on the 10th April. Two 80 gun ships and one frigate in the harbour of Aux Cayes, were then firing on the brigands; a frigate was also firing on the town of L'Ance Donou.
Capt. Motley of the ship Caroline, failed from Cork on the morning of the 4th ult. at which time he was boarded by a Press-Gang in search of men, who took from him a black man named Thos. Johnson, of Philada. Lisha, who had no certificate of citizenship. The Lieutenant told Capt. Motley that they had the night before received positive orders to man their ships with the war complement, and he was in hourly expectation of a DECLARATION OF WAR.
Hints respecting the Cure of the Yellow Fever.
Mr. Smith, Some years ago, a clergyman in England, who to the duties of his station added the benevolent task of assisting his parishioners in the capacity of physician, happened to have a number of them ill with malignant fevers. One day upon visiting a patient (to whom bark and other usual medicines had been administered without effect, and of whose recovery there was no hope,) the curate observed a vessel of yeast standing by the fire. He recollected having heard that meat beginning to putrefy, being placed over a vessel of yeast or fermenting liquor would be preserved from further putrefaction; and the idea struck him to try the effect of yeast upon his patient, as he considered him past recovery. He ordered a spoon full of yeast to be given once or twice an hour. Next day he found him recovering, ordered the yeast to be continued in like manner; the sick man got well, and the Curate had equal success in a variety of cases of putrid and malignant fevers in which he administered only yeast.
These circumstances I mentioned to a circle of friends in Ireland. Soon after one of those friends was seized by a fever; his physician, after some time, deemed it necessary to have a consultation of the Faculty: they recommended to my friend's wife, to prepare for the worst, as it was scarce possible her husband could live through the night. She sent for some yeast and administered it to him every half hour during the night; in the morning the doctors found, to their astonishment, their patient not only alive, but in a fair way to recover. He did recover and is, I believe, now living.
Query—What effect may yeast have in the yellow fever, introduced in as great quantities as the stomach will bear, and freely administered to the bowels by clysters?
Every brewer and distiller knows that the fixed air contained in yeast will speedily kill a man whose head is held over a vessel containing a quantity of yeast or fermenting liquor. The same principle prevents the putrefaction of meat, not only prevents the generation of maggots, but the previous stage of putrefaction.
If then the fixed air contained in yeast or fermenting liquors, checks putrefaction in animal substances deprived of life, will it not check the tendency to putrefaction that exists in the human frame when seized by a putrid disease? I am not a physician, nor is it probable I shall ever have an opportunity of trying the effects of yeast upon the scourge of our Seaport towns. The above reasoning upon the subject, seems to me fair, the practice in disorders less destructive than the yellow fever has been successful, and as the medicine is easily obtained, I wish it may have a trial and prove equally successful in yellow fevers.
Yours J. G.
From the Cape of Good Hope.
Capt. Richard Gardner, passenger in the Franklin, from the Cape, has favoured us (Salem Editor,) with 2 numbers of the Cape Town Gazette, from which we find, that agreeable to the treaty of peace that place had been given up by the British to the Batavian Republic. The late British governor (Francis Dut-
das) on the 20th Feb. issued his proclamation, notifying that the restoration would take place the next day, and releasing the inhabitants from their oath of allegiance to his Britannic Majesty. The Batavian troops took possession of the Castle on the evening of the 20th, and the next morning displayed their colours. At 8 o'clock the large Batavian standard was seen flying; when the Batavian man of war the Soem, together with the British admiral, saluted the same, and were answered by the castle. The same day the Batavian governor general (Janseu,) gave an elegant dinner, Gen. Dundas and other British officers assisting. On the 25th, the commissary general from the Batavian government also gave a dinner, on account of the approaching departure of General Dundas and Admiral Curtis. The toasts of his Britannic Majesty's health, and of the welfare of the Batavian government, were given with a royal salute. On the 18th of March, a solemn thanksgiving was held in the churches, and afterwards the governor general, council of policy, and other officers, were installed and proclaimed. An elegant supper and ball succeeded in the evening, and many of the houses in the town were illuminated. On the 2d of March Admiral Curtis took leave of the commissary general and the governor, and on going on board his ship was saluted by the battery.

We present our readers with the following extract of a letter, received by a mercantile house in this city, from their correspondents in Bordeaux, dated 25th March 1803.
"For some days past there has been great apprehensions of a war, between this country and Great Britain, which have had much influence on our markets, and our mercantile concerns in general, but having received this day the pleasing intelligence of the restoration of harmony, which promises a long continuation of peace, we may conclude affairs will revert soon to their usual situation previous to the late manifestation of hostile preparations."
Extract of a letter to the Editor of the True American from his correspondent at New-York,

LONDON, March 1.
BONAPARTE is not the first master of France who has assumed the title of "Consul". Clovis, the founder of the monarchy, did the same thing in the year 508 of the Christian Era, that is, very nearly thirteen hundred years ago. A short sketch of the life and achievements of that ancient Consul may perhaps, not be unacceptable to those who are enamoured with the glory of the present ruler of the Gauls:
After the Roman empire in the west fell in 476, a portion of Gaul still remained subject to a Roman by the name of Syagrius. This Roman was attacked and defeated, and taken prisoner by Clovis, who, after ordering his head to be cut off, reduced his territories to complete subjection in the year 487.
Clovis had been educated a Pagan, and continued in that persuasion till the age of thirty. He nevertheless permitted his subjects to enjoy entire liberty of conscience. Having married CLOTILDA, daughter of the Duke BURGUNDY, who, being a zealous Christian, used every endeavour to convert him to her faith, though long without effect; till at length being in a perilous situation, in a day of battle, he invoked the God of his wife, Clotilda, and, after the victory, became a convert to her religion. Although he did not amend his conduct towards his subjects after his conversion, Clovis made the new religion subservient to his ambitious views. Some of the neighbouring nations he united, by professing religion, and flattering the clergy; others he subjected by force, and by these means became master of the greatest portion of the country which now goes by the name of France. When his great point was once accomplished, he assembled a powerful army in order to attack the Visigoths, who possessed very considerable territories on both sides of the Pyrenean mountains. Before he set out on this scheme of conquest, he addressed his nobles assembled in the city of Paris to the following purport:—"It is with concern" said the newly converted but religious Monarch, "that I suffer the Arians to possess that fertile part of Gaul; let us, with the aid of God, march against them, and, having conquered them, annex their dominions to our own" Alaric, the king of the Visigoths, a young and brave, but a rash General, was slain by Clovis in person, in a great battle, when his troops were completely routed and dispersed. Victory succeeded to victory till Theodoric, the king of the Ostro Goths, who had overturned the dominion of Odovacar in Italy, marched against him with a great army, and defeated the French with the loss of 30,000 soldiers.
In the year 509, Clovis assumed the title of "Roman Consul," by which means his influence increased in Italy, and he was then supposed to be invested with a just title to call his conquests, in whatever manner they had been acquired. The man, who bore the same honorable title with the former masters of the world, appeared thereby to acquire a right to conquer what he could, and to keep whatever he conquered! He was solemnly invested with the new dignity in the Cathedral church of St. Martins, in the city of Tours, clothed in the purple tunic and mantle, and decorated with the insignia appropriated to his new situation.
The Consul then proceeded to augment his power by the murder of the princes of the Merovingian race. Sigibert king of Cologne, together with his son, were the first to fall; Cararic, another prince, the extent and situation of whose dominions are not well known. Ragnacaire who governed the Diocese of Cambrai, and Renoman king of Maine, soon after shared a similar fate; but his good fortune and indulgences to the clergy expiated every iniquity.
Consul Clovis died in the third year of his consulship, that is, in 511, after having made the salic law , by which females have ever since been restrained from sitting on the throne of France. He was buried in the old church of St. Genevieve, where his tomb is still to be seen. After his death his dominions were divided between his four sons, and the cities of Paris, Soissons, Orleans and Mentz became the capitals
of four different kingdoms, which were afterwards united into one, after much bloodshed, in the year 560, under Chloar, who became sole king of France, &c. &c.
A number of late reports on the subject of conspiracies to assassinate Bonaparte are noticed in the following paragraphs from a London paper of March 20th:
The Courier de Londres , of last night, contains several cases of conspiracy detected, against the first Consul of France; but we suspect they are stolen, mutatis mutandis , from some jail-book. The first is of a man who was confined for a debt to government, who got permission to leave his prison for a day, under the guard of two bailiffs. He amuses the people the whole day, at last he tells them he has something to say to M. de Lucey, one of the protectors of the palace. To M. de Lucey he tells a cock and a bull story of a conspiracy against Bonaparte, represents his keepers as accomplices in it, and in the end, after creating a great bustle, contrives to run away, leaving every body confounded at the trick. Bonaparte was enraged at being the dupe of so silly a jell in M. de Lucey, but he was pacified by Cambaceres, who told him it would be wrong to discourage the zeal of his friends, by punishing de Lucey for the imposture practiced upon him.
The next is of a poor fellow who had taken an oblique lodging at a harel. Being watched by the landlord, it was found that he used to shut himself in his apartment, put on a Turkish dress, grasp a poniard, and declaim with fury. It was immediately suspected that he intended to assume the dress of a Mussulman in order to murder Bonaparte. He was arrested, and turned out to be a prayer of the name of Dabruel, from Havre, who had come to Paris to solicit an engagement!
The third is a Madame De S. D. who had got herself introduced into the suite of Madame Bonaparte. It seems that, by her beauty, talents, &c. she attracted the attention of the court, and was remarked to be an enthusiast in her admiration of the first Consul, and at last she attracted his attention—Madame Bonaparte confided private enquiries to be made into the life and history of this lady; and it was found that she was sister to a M. de T. who had been executed as a Chouan. Upon enquiry, it was suspected that she meditated some project of revenge; she was arrested, and a poniard found upon her. Being examined, she denied any design on the life of the first Consul, but said that she intended to take the first opportunity of stabbing, at his feet, M. F. who had made him sign the death warrant of her brother.
From PARIS—March 5.
"During the epidemic which lately reigned at Paris, the indefatigable attention of Bonaparte to public affairs, proved a source of great affliction to some of his ministers and other officers of state, as they were often obliged, in the severest weather to leave their beds at disagreeable hours of the night to attend a conference. Talleyrand, with a swelled face, an ulcerated throat, and inflamed eyes, was sent for to one of these nightly conferences. After having remained an hour, he felt himself so ill, that he begged permission to return home, in order to go to bed. This was granted him; but he was not an hour in bed, when a messenger again came to desire his immediate attendance—The minister of external relations took off his bandages with which he had enveloped his head, adding, that he could not go, unless it was something which deeply concerned the good of the state. The messenger carried this report to St. Cloud; but he soon came back with an order of that decisive kind, which left no room for hesitation; and the unfortunate minister did not think it prudent to disobey. Conversing on this subject with a gentleman who has long lived in France, I asked him if he thought the same spirit of obsequiousness prevailed all the classes of the people; he said, by no means; he had occasion to know the dispositions of the labouring people; and he was well convinced that not one in twenty thousand of them would have shown the same complaisance to his master, even if he were to be turned out of employment for disobedience. In the same unfeasonable weather, Menou who had received his appointment to Piedmont, was sent for at one o'clock in the morning to a conference at St. Cloud, which lasted till two. At his return there were several ministers waiting in the anti-chamber.
At a late levee of Madame Bonaparte, the prince de Nassau having addressed some observations to that
lady, she looked sternly at him, and turned away her head without making any reply. One of the maids of honor soon afterwards came up to the prince and informed him that it was the etiquette there, that no one spoke first to Madame Bonaparte, but only made replies to such questions as she might ask."
The public are respectfully informed that
MR. RANNIE, the Celebrated Performer from Europe, will exhibit,
On Tuesday evening, May 17th. At the Union Tavern Assembly Rooms, George-town.
Mr Rannie will exhibit this astonishing power which he possesses by nature, the faculty of causing any object apparent to speak at the distance of twelve yards from him, so that it will appear as if a child was speaking in or out of all parts of the room by his utterance from the abdomen, without the least opening of the mouth or movement in the lip. It is a curious fact that the Hebrew words describing the woman of Endor having a familiar spirit, signifies a Ventiloquist or that speaks inwardly, or as if from the belly. This miraculous power cannot be acquired. To which will be added his much admired Imitations of all kinds of birds & beasts, Done in a manner beyond the power of words to describe.
He will also give a display of New and Curious Philosophical and Magical Arts and Experiments, interspersed with Magnetic Attractions.
