[PUBLISHED No. 377.]
General Miscellany.
PORTSMOUTH, JULY 6.
The 29th Anniversary of American Independence was celebrated in this town, by the federalists, with all that festive joy and patriotic enthusiasm, which the great event it commemorates should inspire.—Among the toasts given on this occasion, at a public dinner, were the following:—
"The State of New Hampshire—" Fallen from her high estate, may she repent, reform and be forgiven." John Taylor Gilman— May he in the shades of retirement enjoy the reward he so well earned in public life, the esteem and gratitude of his country.
The following Song (from the elegant and ingenious pen of J. M. Sewall, Esq. ) was sung by Capt. Larkin, and repeated with enthusiasm:
THE HOBBIES PARODIED.
THAT each has his Hobby, we're not now to learn, The doctrine's authentic we have it from Sterne, His hobby was wit, humour, pathos, combin'd, Uncle Toby rode foremost, and Trim jogg'd behind. Alison Hobbies, &c.
Great Washington's hobby, from first dawning youth, Was virtue, and valour, and wisdom, and truth. While Jefferson's hobby; on Chesterfield's plan, Was to rise in the Statesman, and sink in the Man. That's his Hobby, &c.
Sage Adams's hobby was science profound, With a just rule to measure, and plummet to found. In pursuit of true Wisdom, despising fatigue, For a courtier too honest, too frank for intrigue, His Wisdom's our Hobby, &c.
Jay's hobby was COUNTRY; he ne'er would forsake As wise as old Plato, and plain as a Quaker, [her, Burnt, for scorching, in effigy, slander'd his fame, Like the Phoenix more vig'rous he rose from the flame His country's his Hobby.
Franklin's hobby was lightning-rods, thunder and fire, How he joy'd to bestride the electrical wire! When Oppression's bolts strove Freedom's fan to disjoint, He repel'd the Implosion, and stuck to the point. That's his Hobby, &c.
Britain's hobby's her navy, the nations to awe, Curb the tyrant of France, and to ocean give law. Napoleon's hobby is policy fly, And his Empire (like Satan's) is built on a lie. Power's his Hobby.
The various departments of state have their hobbies, To please their dumb Idol, the principal job is. D—n's hobby's to end each peep with a guess, And to ward all exceptions, concludes more or less. That's his Hobby.
The Jacobin's hobby's to lie without shame, When probity better would answer their aim. Should they happen to blunder on truth by mistake, They start and turn pale as if bit by a snake. Lyings their Hobby.
The Federalist's hobby's to talk, not to act is, In theory perfect, deficient in practice. Like the victim at Gaza, they sleep without fear, And permit the Philistines their tresses to shear. That's their Hobby, &c.
Johnny Randolph's lame hobby's the President's chair, And he capers like mad on his wind-broken mare. His Sire's was the hobby! a finer ne'er man saw, Whom the Sops no more like than a hog to a hand-faw. Poor lame Hobby.
Gilman's hobby thro' life, was to act well his part, From this law no temptation could make him depart. All the wife and the good, who beheld his just rule, Hail with blessings this pupil of Washington's school. He's their Hobby.
Our GENERAL COURT's hobby's to choose something new, They've chose a new Clerk a new Secretary too. Their new Governor to honor, with triumph we're told, They've chose a new door-keeper—turn'd out the old. That's their Hobby.
Connecticut's hobby's to manage the beast, Of all States in the Union corrupted the least. Massachusetts' fine hobby Bill can'ters along With ease and with grace; for the charger is STRONG. Strong's their Hobby.
OUR hobby's New-ENGLAND, who ne'er like a ninny, Will submit to the use of slave-making VIRGINIA. Till Tom's doughty gun boats and Matt's wooden lances, Capture Britain's whole navy, and conquer all France. New-England's our Hobby.
This is a very just satire upon the laziness of the federalists of New-England, at their late gubernatorial election.
We insert a letter of Mat. Lyon to Duane for the same reason that we used to publish some of Cal- lender's narratives and discussions, merely to show that the democrats perfectly understand and have all along understood each others characters. If any credit is due to the assertions of Lyon, the profligate falsehoods of the Aurora were perfectly well known to Mr. Jefferson, Mr. McKean, Mr. Gallatin, Mr. Dallas, and the democratic members of congress while they were patronizing that print with their purses and their influence, and their only fear was, that the lies were not told with sufficient adroitness and plausibility. The event, however, has proved that Duane understood his trade better than those for whose benefit the dirty work was done. They are enjoying the offices from which honest men were ejected, and he, as generally happens in such cases, is likely to be cast off as a filthy tool for which they have no further occasion.— Gas. U.S.
From the Kentucky Farmer's Library.
M. Lyon to Wm. Duane.
SIR, In an address intended for you last summer, I gave you reason to expect to hear from me again whenever you did me the honor of an attack. You remained silent toward me for several months after that correction; it is so long since you broke out again, and have been honoring me with the lashes of your poisonous and lying pen without my notice, that by this time you may perhaps suppose I have either become callous, or that I am afraid to encounter your gigantic blackguardism.—Sir, neither is the case; I must have been deaf and blind as well as callous, not to notice your vile attempts to destroy my character; nothing but a croud of business has occasioned this delay.
The animals called knights are extremely plenty and tame in the barrens of Kentucky; I have frequently seen them sitting in the road before me after making a noise to start them out of the path without success.—Not choosing to come within the reach of the odiferous liquid with which they contaminate the atmosphere, I have reluctantly given them the path and road round; at length some time last summer, having met an insolent fellow of that tribe in a deno other course but to run the obnoxious charge, and push hough. This I accordingly did to the destruction of my adversary, without any other injury than having my horse a little besprinkled which was principally washed off at the next rivulet.
I ask your pardon for this digression, Sir; but the analogy between my situation then and now is so very striking, I could not get the thing out of my mind until I put it on paper.
You may recollect your old friend Matthew Lyon, on his departure for the western country in March 1801, wrote a valedictory letter to the fallen John Adams. The same Matthew on his departure from the Atlantic states in 1805, honours the would-be tyrant, William Duane, with a valedictory letter which he concludes will be sufficient on his part until his return in December next. Having made up my mind to publish this letter, your good nature fir, will, I presume, excuse my sending it to you in print, and as I would not like to send you a letter destitute of amusement, it shall contain a short story; although some parts of it is no more than a dream, other parts may be said to be taken from real life.
A WRETCH, hunted for his crimes from Asia to Africa, from Africa to Europe, and from Europe to America, landed on the Atlantic shore of the United States seven or eight years ago, incapable of earning his bread by common honest laborious industry, poor and penniless, driven for his subsistence from the station which first offered him subsistence in America, when a ragged vagabond, with a downcast, guilty look like Cain, expecting every man's hand raised against him: bemired in filth and shunned as a spectre, with no other distinguishing property than an ability to write with facility; to give falsehood and lies in semblance of truth, and to give truth the appearance of falsehood. The democrats of this country were taken in by him; by their countenance and indulgence he became the conductor of a press which had been distinguished by its correct course; they enabled him to put on a clean shirt, to fill his belly, to look a little sleek, and to hold up his head. The democratic republicans were at that time in a conflict for the reins of government with a party opposed to their principles, consisting of a few mon-
archy men, some tories and aristocrats, together with a large share of such people as are attached to any government under which they feel safe and easy. The last class were made to believe by their leaders, that democracy was a Jacobinical disorder, anarchy & confusion, that the country with anarchy, disorder, confusion, immorality & infidelity, and that republican-ism was a word which meant any thing or nothing. In this contest this man enlisted himself, and was of no small use to the democratic party, in exposing the views and projects of their adversaries. He attempted to sell the republican members of congress to a purchase of the establishment, in order to hire him on a salary to conduct it. I have reason to believe that my advice prevented the speculation. I told the members to give him money, give him money, all you can afford; let us support him thro' the crisis, and if our party succeed in obtaining the reins of the government the paper will support itself; if we fail it must fail. Let him manage the paper for himself; let the economy of it be at his risque as much as possible. It was out of their power to have a proper check on the charges and expenditures of such an establishment. I fore saw his charges would be made up something like those made for printing for the house of representatives of that house, with all their vigilance have not been able to reduce nearer than 30 percent to what other people will now do it for when the lowest bidder has the work. I fore saw that the dues to the establishment would not be collected with the same promptitude and good management for such a company, as for an individual whose support depended on it.—I knew very well that when the establishment was purchased by such a company, at the enormous price talked of, it would be a tool in the hands of this man which he might use to his own pleasure, and that whenever he chose he would pick a quarrel with the proprietors, desert the establishment, and get another set up at one third the price proposed for that I spoke freely against the purchase; he missed the speculation, and can never
office for the use of the opposite party. I told a great friend of mine who was most zealous for the purchase, that I considered these insinuations thrown out merely to alarm the republicans, and drive on the bargain. When this story appeared in a public paper and poor Frothingham was fined and imprisoned for republishing it, without an effort on the part of the wretch I am speaking of, (who has acknowledged himself the author) to save Frothingham, my friend was convinced I was right.
I often told my republican friends in those days, that the lies of this man would injure our cause, if the contest lasted long enough to have them exposed. A thousand times has he brought a bust in the face of the honest men of our party, when they read his unfounded attacks against their opponents; with regret, the most discerning foresaw that they themselves would be subject to the same insults and indignities, whenever they happened to displease this unprincipled Scaramouch of their own architecture.
Success attended the endeavors of the democratic party; they triumphed in the election of chief magistrate, most deferentially dear to them; and this creature was allowed to carve for himself much to his own mind, the share he pleased of the spoils of the victory; not satisfied with this, and grieved at the prospect of the restoration of peace and tranquility, as well as confidence and humor between honest men of both parties under a democratic administration, a prospect unsavory to him who delights in political turmoil, whose political and pecuniary consequence depends on a continual bluster, an everlasting jarring of parties and a tempestuous political ocean without a hope of ever seeing a calm.—This person is suspected by some to be at this time favourable to the views of a foreign potentate, who wishes to see democracy and republicanism wrote down and brought into disgrace in this country.
This person is thought by some to be a very fit instrument in the hands of the Emperor who has disgraced and driven republicanism from the country he governs, and whose anger burns at the thought of it in any other country. It is well known in Europe, that England had her Porcupine in
this country, whose attempts against republicanism and democracy, failed; his attacks were bold, open, daring and insolent he attacks front to front. A more insidious method is now proposed to be in contemplation. Last night I had a peep at a translation, of the communication of the prime Minister of the Usurper, to his correspondent in Philadelphia. After dilating on the cause of Porcupine's failure, and recommending a different course he says, "it is with regret that we hear some Frenchman say that a republican form of government can be supported. They quote the United States as an example; this example is a thing which every despot must abhor, yet no potentate can be so immediately interested in the destruction of that kind of government, as the emperor my master. The thoughts of a powerful people, a rising nation, enjoying peaceably a form of government and an administration of their own choice, renders the glory and the permanency of the new monarchy extremely precarious, especially over a people who a few years ago had tasted of the happy effects of self-government. No man can do my master the emperor a greater service than him who brings the American people to cast off their republican form of government and to accept a monarchy. The way to effect this is obvious to you; carry democracy to the utmost extreme; make the people believe they are gods, that they are wise in the extreme; that every man is qualified to be a gov. a judge, or a legislator; make the whole people of the state draw lots for all the offices, once in three months; if possible; raise their aversion to all ancient institutions, and all those men they have been accustomed to confide in, especially real, well informed and honest republicans; get leaders ahead of your own stamp, let them flatter the people's vanity, and get them uneasy; tease them with new political dogmas, cry out party! party! Stigmatize every one who opposes you or presume to think different; create a reign of terror under which no one will dare to fall off from any measure proposed by the party, however barefaced or anti-republican it may be; say the measure is opposed by its enemies merely because much to bring the people to believe that up their liberties as that of constitution making. In other countries they have been reckoned sacred things, to be touched in cases of special necessity only; counted upon as barriers against the encroachment of any branch or person in the government, and as a check to the turbulent passions excited by any sudden disgust. In France they have been made and sworn to; made and unmade with such ease and rapidity, that they became contemptible, and ridiculous to that degree, that when the instrument was offered for the people's function, which deprived them of the last hope of self-government, they received it with the same indifference and sangfroid, as they would have done a new song.
Let the American people make a new constitution, or alter their old one a dozen of times in seven years, and I will warrant them ready for a first consul for life with power to appoint his successor, or for an emperor, which ever is offered them. You have with you a fine promising young man for the purpose; he is naturally a tyrant, with something of the adroitness and perspicuity of my master; he has the same assuming republican airs; his loquacious manners are extremely well calculated to draw artless, ignorant people into any snare; puff him high in every paper; say high founding things of his virtue and his integrity; keep out of sight his aristocratic principles; don't suffer the people to know that he opposes their right to general suffrage, and that he contends that no man ought to vote in the people's election who is not a land holder—he will make you his prime minister no doubt, and then there will be another Talleyrand—this you have a right to promise yourself in case of success; in any event your labors will be well rewarded: stick to it that you are the true organ of the public will; the people's own true friend; talk big about your influence, write paragraphs pushing your own dear self, extolling your own superlative merit; find them to your subaltern facilities from Maine to Georgia; let them make them their own in their footy papers, and you can copy from them, tell your creatures that you can make any man governor or legislator that you please; make them believe it.

and boast of it to show your great consequence— tell them you are poor and pitiful— keep your carriage out of sight; and don't let them know that you live at the rate of 4 or 5000 dollars a year." There was, I thought, something in those instructions about plots, and the end justifying the means; but before I was able to read the communication half through, a loud noise in an adjoining room waked me, as I was examining some of the latter pages of this diplomatic correspondence.
There, Mr. Duane, lies a picture, look on it as in; examine it particularly and see if it is any person with whom you are acquainted; if you think it does not fit you, then surely you'll not complain. Is there aught fell down in malice? if you do not like the picture, permit me to advise you to amend the original, that is the way to get the picture drawn more to your liking another time.
I have been more liberal towards you, sir, than you have been with me; you have not suggested a doubt or a suspicion merely: you have insolently avowed, that I have been corrupted to support the compromise with the Georgia claimants, and you have done so without attempting to adduce a single particle of proof. If you have any claim to the picture before you, do not renounce it because you may think its authenticity and similarity with yourself cannot be supported.
Does not your predilection for the Cor- Acian Dynasty appear in almost every paper you publish; does not every one of those papers prove your determination to keep the public mind in a fume, and lead the people of this country on in the same exchequer of change, novelty and confusion which has led to the establishment of a new tyranny in France, and the loss of self government to that brave people. Does not your attempt to vilipend and brand with corruption, 75 members of the eighth congress, 38 of whom were republicans, for having given their assent to a very reasonable compromise of the conflicting claims between the United States and the claimants under an anterior purchase from the state of Georgia, indicate a bitter enemy to public faith, to national peace and harmony, does it not indicate a propensity to disorganization, and a design to create a reign of terror, under which no man can comfortably oppose your opinions; it does, sir, — twelve months ago, your rod held up in terror, had some effect, but your bluster about quids and a third party, your nefarious lies and infamous slanders with your paper has abounded, and the persecutions you have set on foot, has happily brought you and your reign of terror into contempt. Sudden has been your rise from nothingness and meanness, to consequence and opulence, your fall will be more precipitate unless you put a curb to your pride, check your arrogance, correct your insolent behaviour, and by a more prudent line of conduct put a stop to the suspicions that are gaining ground with respect to your being a secret Porcupine, an insidious enemy to our republican institutions.
Although a provoking monitor, your old friend is not your enemy; he wishes you had conducted with more prudence; he has a respect for the opinion of his republican friends who think highly of your fevices, and it is this respect for their opinion which obliges him to expose your real character, with which, your own conduct makes it necessary the public should be acquainted, that your denunciations, your farcical and reflections may have their due weight only.
A long life of active usefulness, with unimpeachable integrity, no small share of the last thirty years of which has been occupied in public business, has put me above your calumny, where I am known; it is merely a hope that you may profit by reproof, and a desire that the public mind should be set right respecting your calumnies, that this letter is addressed to you, by Your old friend, MATTHEW LYON.
On the Monongahela River, April 25, 1805. P.S. This when written, was intended to have been published in the Free of Liberty, at Pittsburg; but the editor and proprietor being absent when I arrived there occasioned my bringing it to Louisville.

CANANDAIGUE, JUNE 25. Detroit in flames. — A letter from a gentleman of respectability at Buffalo Creek, dated the 20th inst. to his friend in this town contains the following distressing intelligence:
"By the Schooner Charlotte, capt. Nielsen, who arrived at Fort Erie, yesterday, we are informed that the whole town of Detroit is totally consumed by fire, not a single house in town left standing! The fire, it is said, first made its appearance in a stable near the center of the town about 9 o'clock in the morning, and such was the rapidity of his ravages that
at 12 o'clock not one house remained. The Citadel, which was rather detached, and in which were the barracks, officers quarters, and soldiers' stores, were entirely consumed."
None — Detroit is the seat of government of the Michigan Territory, and contained upwards of 2000 houses, built of wood, in compact manner, and above 2000 inhabitants.
BALTIMORE, JULY 1.
A Man of the name of Jeroboam Boyver, was killed a few days ago in Grayville County, by an other named Nathaniel Norwood. They were playing cards when a quarrel arose, and Norwood struck Boyver on the head with a piece of board. Although several persons were present, yet no attempts were made to secure Norwood, who made his escape.
BOSTON, JULY 13, 1805.
From Cadiz. — Capt Seward, arrived here yesterday, informs that there were five sail of the Spanish line, laying in the bay ready for sea; one of 140 guns, 2 of 74, 2 of 64, and 4 others were to drop down in a few days, and wait the arrival of 11 more from Carthagene, which are hourly expected: — There was no account from the Combined Fleet since they left Cadiz; their destination was still a secret. — Capt. S. also informs, that Gen. Moreau had a friendly hint to leave Spain; and was to take passage either in the sloop Sachem, of 16 guns, for Boston, or in the Washington, for New Bedford.
The best accounts from the West-Indies state, that the combined French and Spanish fleet, of 20 or 22 sail of the line, appeared off St. John's (Antigua) on the morning of the 8th of May, but knowing that Lord Nelson had arrived in the West-Indies in search of them, did not stop to attack the island, but took a fleet of 14 merchant ships which had failed from thence the evening before. That Nelson arrived at Barbadoes the 4th of June, went through false information to Trinidad, arrived at Antigua the 12th, and continued his search on the 13th, with 11 or 12 sail of the line. — That the Kingfisher sloop of war, had on the 17th seen the combined fleet standing north-east, and on the 19th fell in with Nelson, pursuing their track.
Capt. Brissel, arrived at Portsmouth, on Tuesday last in 18 days from Lissabon, (Guad) has communicated the following intelligence which was handed to him by a British officer, with a request, that it might be published in the American papers:
Seventeenth June, at 9 o'clock two English corvettes, of 18 guns each, Kingfisher and Caleb Offrey, and Capt. — chased several sail to the leeward, proved to be five heavy French frigates, with an English convoy they had captured, of 13 sail, richly laden from Antigua; upwards of 150,000 pounds sterling, which they cowardly set on fire, and destroyed, entirely on the bare appearance of so small a force, and then made sail to the N. N. E. after us.
R. GIBSON, Kingfisher. In the morning of the 17th June in direction with Antigua, Capt. B. heard a very heavy cannonading, and saw three large ships standing on the same direction.
Portland, TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1805.
Latest from Europe
Capt. Sanborn, in the ship Bath, arrived at this port from Liverpool, brings London dates to the 30th May, and Liverpool to the 1st June, a few days later than before received — Their contents however, are not interesting. The following are the most conspicuous articles.
LONDON, MAY 30. Government last night received dispatches from Admiral Gardner, dated the 22d inst. from which it appears, that on the 11th his Majesty's frigate la Loire, in lat. 43, 44 — N. long. 20 48. West, fell in with a French squadron, consisting of five sail of the line and three frigates (supposed to be from the West Indies), standing to the Eastward; she proceeded to give the intelligence to the squadron off Ferrol; and Vice Admiral Sir Robert Calder immediately went in pursuit of them; but not getting sight of them, he thinks they have effected their return to a port in France.
Accounts received by Government from the channel fleet state that the enemy has, within the last few days, again manifested a disposition to put to sea from Brest.
MADRID, APRIL 18.
We learn from Algiers, that on the 18th ult. the Dey about ten o'clock in the morning being seated on a stone, near the fortification, about two miles from the city, and quite alone, was attacked by four well-armed Turks. He was fired upon twice, and received ten wounds, from their sabres, by which he lost two fingers of his left hand.
The assassins have been apprehended. The Dey was conveyed to his palace. He is at present out of danger. One of the balls fortunately fell upon a purse which the Dey had in a pocket covering his breast. This attempt to murder the Dey is ascribed to the dearth of all sorts of provisions, and which he had neglected to remedy.
Further extracts from London papers will be given in the next Gazette.

Celebration of the fourth of July at Brunswick.
A respectable number of the federal citizens of Brunswick and Topsham assembled at the house of Mr. David Owen, in Brunswick. At twelve o'clock a procession was formed, and elected to the Court House, in Topsham, by Capt. Estabrook's company of Infantry, attended by Mr. Mulliken, with a select band of music; where a very sensible and well adapted oration was delivered by Mr. Samuel Willard, which will soon be published.
After the oration the procession returned to the house of Mr. Owen, and partook of a very liberal entertainment there provided.
After dinner the following toasts were drunk, accompanied by a discharge of cannon, and appropriate music by Mr. Mulliken and his select band, viz.
 1. The fourth of July 1776.—May our national independence, on this day declared, be the inheritance of our latest posterity.  2. The constitution of the United States.—May the violence of innovation cease to prey on the vitals of our only surviving republic.  3. The memory of George Washington.—May his parting address to his countrymen be held in sacred veneration, and ever considered by them, as the touchstone of public men and public measures.  4. John Adams.—Among the first patriots and most illustrious statesman of his country, may his important services be held in perpetual remembrance.  5. The people of the United States.—May they learn ere it be too late, to distinguish true patriots from hollow-hearted demagogues, who under a cloak of zeal for their interests seek only their own elevation to power.  6. Purity of elections.—May the American people think it full time to enquire—Is he honest—is he faithful—is he capable?  7. All true Federalists throughout the Union.—May their combined wisdom, moderation and firmness, save the democrats from themselves, and our country from the horrors of anarchy.  8. All honest democrats.—May they seriously contemplate, and no longer countenance the consummate folly of committing their public interests to the hands of men, whom they know to be unworthy of private confidence.  9. The Northern States.—May the conviction of their common interest firmly unite them in asserting their peculiar rights against the encroachments of Southern pride.  10. The small but very respectable state of Connecticut.—May she still continue to display to her sister states those pure republican principles and habits, by which alone a republican government can be long supported.  11. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.—Amidst the distraction of her sister states may Massachusetts be preserved from democratic madnes, and with enlightened Connecticut oppose an impregnable barrier to the fury of revolution.  12. The state of Pennsylvania.—May its present violent fermentation proceed, till the foul foam and dregs of alien democracy be forever expelled, and pure unalloyed federalism result from the process.  13. The Executive and Judiciary of this Commonwealth; the rod and staff of peace and safety.  14. The District of Maine.—Soon may its citizens harmonize in sentiment, and lead quiet and peaceable lives under magistrates and laws of their own choice.  15. The rights of men; wholesome laws faithfully administered.  16. The rights of women; the respect, love and support of "good men and true."  17. Bowdoin College.—May this rising sun in the 
East soon rival in lustre the elder luminaries of the West. Schr. Fair Lady, Capt. Caldwell, of this port, was struck with lightning, on the 14th June, on her passage to the Havana; her fore topmast carried away, her mainmast considerably injured, and one man, Capt. John Chase, of this town, instantly killed.
The Theatre of this town, we are happy to observe, has received some valuable reinforcements. The Castle Spectre was last night performed with great ease to a crowded and respectable audience. In Angela, Mrs. Powell, if possible, still more endeared herself to those who have ever admired her performance. Mr. Ulver, in Osmund, and Mr. Fox in Percy, succeeded with great reputation, and exhibited marks of great improvement. The other characters were supported with much ability.—The popular comedy of John Bull, is announced for tomorrow evening, in which Mrs. Ulver will make her first appearance in this town, in the character of Mary Tomberly.
DIED.
In Boston, Mrs. Hannah Rowe, aged 80, widow of John Rowe, Esq.
At Faisal, Capt. Isaac Bridges, late of Andover, commander of the brig Hannah, of Newburyport. His death was occasioned by wounds received in having his vessel fired upon by the British cutter Providence, of London, commanded by Philip Le Roux.—A pretest was made by the late capt. Bridges, his mate and crew, before the American Consul at Faisal. This worthy but unfortunate man, died of his wounds at said island on the 18th April last, after languishing 19 days in extreme distress. It may be some satisfaction for his friends to learn, that the honors paid him at his interment exceeded any thing of the kind ever witnessed at Faisal. Their excellencies the governor and the grand judge, all the military and civil officers, foreign consuls and merchants—in short, all the respectable people of the place, filled with emotions of pity for the unhappy fate of the deceased, and fired with indignation against the privileged assassin who was the author of it, composed the melancholy procession.
In Russia, March 20, the Right Rev. Father, Gabriel Gruber, General of the Society of Jesuits.
In Jamaica, Mrs. Mills, aged 118; she was followed to the grave by 295 of her children, great-grand-children, and great-great-grand-children, sixty of whom, named Ebanks, belong to the regiment of militia for St. Elizabeth's parish. For 97 years she practiced midwifery, during which period it is stated that she ushered 148,000 persons into the world! She retained her senses to the last, and followed her business until within two days of her death.

PATENT MEDICINES. IMPROVED JAUNDICE BITTERS , or the Grand Anti-Bilious Corrective—Prepared by David Donn- ison, at his Dispensary, No. 251, Oxford Road, Lon- don. Under the patronage of the most Physicians in Europe and America. THIS preparation combines all the good qualities of every medicine of the kind ever offered to the public; the botanical characters of the ingredients, of which it is composed, has long attracted the notice of the faculty, and under various formulas unequivocally received the undivided sanction of successful experi- ment—It is greatly antiphlogistic and particularly effe- ctual in correcting and preventing the putridity of bile; it has also been employed with great success, in very dangerous epidemic fevers. It not only cleanses the prima viæ, but likewise gently warms the habit and quickens circulation, is particularly serviceable in hab- itual costiveness, in cases of phlegmatic temperament and sedentary life, when the stomach is oppressed and weakened. This elegant bitter may be successfully ap- plied to almost every purpose, particularly in loss of appetite, when the stomach is foul and disorder- ed by irregularities; the secretions are gently promoted, and a plentiful perspiration produced; in com- plaints of the jaundice this remedy is unequalled; the stomach is fortified and strengthened, and digestion effectually promoted; such a medicine is useful at all seasons, but particularly in the spring, by removing those sleepy melancholy sensations so unpleasant to the patient; the natural consequences of the approach of warm weather, upon bilious habits.—Price 3/6 per Box.
WHEATSON'S JAUNDICE BITTERS. THE successful effects of which have been fully ex- perienced in correcting and carrying off a jaundiced and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the flaxing, faint, distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness; restoring also, strength to the weak and trembling limbs; removing the yellow- ness of countenance common to jaundice and weakly people; and also the dizziness of the head, & weakness of light. They are very useful for seamen to take of- ten when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preservative against disorders so incident to such cli- mates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by re- moving obstructions, carrying off bile, and giving a free circulation to the blood.—Price 1/6 per Box.
DEXTER'S RHEUMATIC PILLS, For the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Bilious Disorders. HAVE, by much experience, been found a valu- able and efficacious Medicine, and are recommended to the public, as an effectual remedy to counteract the dangerous effects of common Gout on the system —to remove obstructed perspirable matter, and acrid and corrosive Humours, which cause Rheumatism Rheumatic Gout, Pains, and swellings in the Joints and Limbs—Cough, Asthma, &c. They are also par- ticularly serviceable in removing Bilious and other ob- structions from the Stomach and Bowels—are an ex- cellent Medicine to obviate or check a bilious or yel- low Fever at its commencement by powerfully ex- pelling bilious, morbid, and putrefact obstructions through the cutaneous pores. They remove windy oppressions and cholicky pains in the stomach and bow- els—eruptations from the face and skin—sweeten and purify the blood, and quicken its circulation—pro- duce a sweetness of the breath and a good appetite, by strengthening the digestive faculties—Many affida- vits might be produced, showing the superior efficacy of the above pills—but, as the character which they have or may acquire in the best criterion by which the public can judge, they are omitted.—Price 2/6 per Box.

That it is the post road from Portland to Kennebec river and Wiscasset, and is necessarily much used with horses, teams, and carriages—that in its present direction it crosses Presumpscot river, at a place where the banks are so exceedingly steep that a traveller is obliged to leave their carriages to ascend and descend the same—That a bridge may be built across the said river near the mouth thereof, which would diminish the distance from Portland to North-yarmouth, at least two miles; and which would give a smooth, level road between those towns, much to the advantage of the public at large, and the inhabitants of the District of Maine in particular. Your petitioners the more pray that they and such such as may be associated with them, may be incorporated with the powers and privileges as have been granted to other proprietors of bridges, to erect and maintain a bridge, from Thompson's Point, on the eastern side of said Presumpscot river, to Martin's Point on the western side thereof, or as near those points as may be found convenient; and that a reasonable toll may be established as in other cases of the like nature. And as in other cases of the like nature. ISAAC PARKER and thirty-five others. Portland, May 14. 1805. COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. In Senate, June 12, 1805.
