BARNEY MACLATHER AND NORAH MACSHANE.
A melancholy Love Story.
In Liquorpond-street, which is well known to many, An artist resided, who shav'd for one penny, Cut hair for three halfpence, for two pence he Bled, And for three pence would draw—every tooth in your head.
One day in a hurry from Ireland he came, For making a blunder which no one could blame: With a friend, while disputing, he argu'd close, And in cutting off his beard—he cut off his nose.
Long time had he groan'd for his Norah Mac- shane, Such a beauty I fancy, but seldom is seen; Her eyes shone like fire, which tears could not smother. And, in love with themselves, how they leer'd at each other.
Her cheek once had blush'd like a beautiful rose, But on that soil it died, and sprang out on her nose, And till the rose-water you saw at the tip, The moss would surprize you that grew round her lip.
Though her passion was tender, his passion was more, And his heart had a gash where her heart was but sore; You who know how he lov'd, may suppose how he rav'd When one morning he found—she ne'er came to be shav'd.
He ran out of the shop, & ran into the street, But though ill news are swift, he hear'd none at the Fleet, He at last reach'd Snowhill, ('twas there No- rah milk carri'd) And the first words he heard were that No- rah was married.
Struck dumb with the news, he went into the 'Cow,' Where he bawl'd for some porter and drank like a sow, "Faith, this is but wasting my rasoney," he cries, "For the beer, as I drink it, runs out at my eyes." "O Norah! I'll die, and leave you all my peb," "But I fear they would hang me for k-l- ling myself, "So to live and make wigs I'm sure I'd much rather," And here ends the tale of poor Barney Mac- lather.
FROM THE BRATTLEBRO' REPORTER.
Embargo, Non-intercourse, and Policy of the Belligerents.
NO. I.
In attending to the momentous questions which agitate and distract the councils of the United States, it appears to the writer of the following, that our rulers are wandering in a labyrinth without a clue. The plans and views of the belligerents, as well as our own interests seem to have been strangely misunderstood on this side of the Atlantic. An investigation of the subject of our foreign relations, with facts and common sense for our guides, it is believed will make it apparent to all honest and impartial inquirers that the measures pursued by the dominant party, have been such as have had a tendency to distress the United States, and at the same time to further the views, and promote the real or supposed interests both of France and Great Britain.—Without pretending to judge of the motives which have influenced our leading men, without declaring that an "invisible hand" holds the master key to our cabinet, we cannot refrain from expressing our opinion that our leading men have played the parts in our great comedy, or their tragedy) of errors both of French and British Tories! Yes, our good democrats, with all their blustering pretensions to patriotism, with all their clamour against British influence, are pursuing the measures which Canning himself, if re-
ally an enemy to this country, would have pointed out. Even the Bennington junto of exclusive patriots, and real 76 men are ignorantly but as effectually promoting the interests of Great Britain, as if they were pensioners of king George, and had sat in his majesty's privy council with Pitt, Perceval and Canning.
In order to make the preceding truths apparent it will be necessary to take a wider view of the policy of the belligerents, than has been done by any writer, on the above-mentioned subjects, whose productions have come within the sphere of our observation, and to advert to certain facts, which altho' they seem to have escaped the notice of most of our politicians, afford a clue to the proceedings of the cabinets both of St. Cloud and St. James.
In the beginning of the French revolution a plan was organized by the leaders of the jacobin sect in France, which has been since systematically pursued, without any further deviation than what has been imposed by imperious and unforeseen circumstances.—The object of this plan was conquest, and plausible but hollow professions for love of liberty and equality, and insincere proffers of peace and friendship with nations, were among the means which were adopted to obtain the desired end, the aggrandizement of the great nation. To prove this we have the testimony of cotemporary and subsequent writers, and the acknowledgment of jacobins themselves, corroborated by circumstantial evidence of the most conclusive and satisfactory nature. We shall adduce a few of these proofs and we think make it evident to any candid mind that our embargo, and other measures which have threatened the annihilation of our commerce, left our nation defenceless, and consumed its resources, are the consequences of the plan before mentioned. There is no doubt, however that many persons who have been advocates for these ruinous measures were not sensible of their nature and tendency, and thus with honest and patriotic intentions have been induced to co-operate with the French leaders, whose real object as before stated is dominion.
The illustrious Burke, the friend of liberty and an advocate for America during our revolutionary war, was in France at the time that the seeds of the French revolution began to germinate. He declared that "the revolution in France had the relation of France to other nations as one of its principal objects. The changes made by that revolution were not the better to accommodate her to the old and usual relations, but to produce new ones. The revolution was not to make France free, but to make her formidable; not to make her a neighbor but a mistress; not to make her more observant of laws, but to put her in a condition to impose them. To make France truly formidable it was necessary that France should be new modelled. They who have not followed the train of the late proceedings, have been led by deceitful representations, (which deceit made a part in the plan) to conceive that this total new model of a state in which nothing escaped a change, was made with a view to its internal relations only."
"In the revolution of France two sorts of men were principally concerned in giving a character and determination to its pursuits; the philosophers and the politicians. They took different ways, but they met in the same end."
"On the system of aggrandizement there was but one mind: But two violent factions arose about the means. The first wished France diverted from the politics of the continent to attend solely to her marine, to feed it by an increase of commerce, and thereby to overpower England on her own element. They contended if England were dissatisfied, the powers on the continent would fall into their proper subordination; that it was England which deranged the whole continental system of Europe. The others, who were by far the most numerous, though not the most outwardly prevalent at court, considered this plan for France as contrary to her situation, her genius and her natural means. They agreed as to the ultimate object; the reduction of the British power, and if possible its naval power, but they considered an ascendancy on the continent as a necessary preliminary to that undertaking. They agreed that the proceedings of England herself had proved the soundness of this policy. That her greatest and ablest statesmen, had not considered the support of a continental balance against France as a deviation from the principle of her naval power, but as one of the most effectual modes of carrying it into effect."
Burke's Works, vol. 4. p. 409, 412. Boston edition.
Such, if we may believe this consummate statesman, this greatest mere man that ever existed, whose opinions were the result of personal observations, and a perfect knowledge of the subject, were the plans adopted
by the French ruling party in the outset of the revolution. Those men who have observed the signs of the times know, that during all the turmoils, intestine commotions and bloodshed of the revolution, the subjugation of continental Europe, as preparatory to the downfall of Great Britain and the conquest of the world, was their Alpha and Omega. With them it was "first and last and midst and without and in all their thoughts and public actions."
CALCHAS.
FROM THE FEDERAL GAZETTE.
STATE OF FRANCE & ENGLAND.
Having almost persuaded the hot-brained portion of our fellow-citizens that we must fight England, the editors of the democratic presses are now endeavoring to persuade them that there will be nobody to fight at all.
In order to this, you have seen it repeated over and over again, that the British had failed, entirely failed, in their late attempt in Flanders; and a long list of the French fleet, or ships of war, has been served up with pompous ostentation.
Every thing like deception must be nipt in the bud, where things are so much governed by popular opinion; and it happens that the list of French ships of war lately republished here, was made for a period of time long before the dispersion of Jerome's squadron, the capture of Flushing, the attack on Basque roads, or the seizure in Cadiz bay, where they lost 10 to 15 ships of the line, besides frigates; as every person may be satisfied by observing, that the Zole , 74, which is stated to be in Brest, is and has been a wreck in our harbor these two years past; and that the minister lately come out from Spain has brought the frigate Corneha , probably the " Corneille ," one of the ships taken at Cadiz, but included in the above mentioned list. France and all her allies possess scarcely half the number of ships of war stated in the list, and they are dispersed and blockaded every where.
The object of the expedition to Flanders could hardly be to take Paris; but a seaport, from whence the coasting trade of England was annoyed, and to intercept the supplies which France receives along the Dutch coast, besides operating a diversion in favor of Spain and Austria.
The possession of Walcheren completes that chain of depots which England now holds round the commercial part of the European continent, and whence she will effectually limit its commerce at her own discretion, whilst she will pour her produce and manufactures into the midst of her enemies' territories, or oblige them to keep armies of custom-house officers, who will eat more than they can earn.
Conscious of their own safety, these are the direct objects of all English expeditions.
All this will have been completely effected by the expedition, if it is at this moment returned to Portsmouth, and had attempted nothing since the reduction of Flushing.
In a letter which Cobbet has lately addressed to the king of England, and which some of the present admirers of that writer have copied into their papers, the coasting trade of France is represented in a more flourishing state than ever. On his own authority, he asserts that France now employs two hundred thousand men in this way, and prepares them for a navy; and that Bonaparte's finances prosper exceedingly, from his custom houses. But all this Cobbet can prevent, if his majesty will take his advice, and such quackery. 200,000 is something more than three times the number of seamen employed by our extensive trade, and nearly double the number employed on board the British navy. It would have been as easy to have put down 20,000 and this number would have been nearer the truth; but there would have been no empiricism in that.
Our democrats did not think a year ago that the coasting trade was of so much importance to a country when they so unceremoniously suspended it, with all the trade we had.
But what must the prosperity of England be, if, in addition to all the coasting trade she ever had, the Spanish and Portuguese trade is enjoyed by her without restraint.
The fact is, that the seaports of France are bankrupt, and Bonaparte draws his chief supplies from confiscated American property, and from the contributions of conquered countries, called his allies, who will ere long be as much straightened as himself, whilst money was never of so little value in England as it is at this very moment, as the high invoice prices of her manufactures sufficiently prove.
AN OLD MERCHANT.
From the New-York Evening Post.
DEMOCRACY UNVEILED.
The following article from a Tennessee newspaper printed at Nashville, unveils completely the real ultimate views of democracy. It is an extract from a piece recommending a leading democrat as a suitable candidate for the state legislature.
"Mr. Badford, you are requested to make known through the medium of your useful paper that Patrick Beagley is a candidate for the assembly at the next election; his sentiments are pure republican, and he is decidedly in favor of an equal distribution of property."
Democracy still further unveiled.
The public have of late witnessed with astonishment, the assurance of the democratic prints, in claiming Washington as one of their party. While alive they reviled him, at his death they openly rejoiced, and now they seek to derive popularity from his name. The following extracts, however, from a distinguished democratic paper in New Jersey, discovers unwittingly, what are the real sentiments still entertained by the leaders of that party of the Father of his country—"Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh."
"Washington, with others, humbly petitioned the British king not to lay too grievous a burthen upon the necks of his wayward American children; and, with others, was willing to contribute to support the corruption of Britain, if she would suffer them to raise the tax according to their own pleasing."
Again—
"Had Washington lived in these days, there is no doubt he would have exerted his utmost abilities to embarrass our own government, and give aid and assistance to that of England."
Again—
"As Washington would be sensible of his error in having opposed the British power were he living at this time; so these his true followers being tender of his honor, make great exertions to do away that stain upon his character."
HALIFAX, October 8.
Arrived here the British Packet Lord Chesterfield, captain H. D. Gibbon, with the mail from England, after a passage of 46 days, during which she encountered several gales of wind, particularly on the 1st of September. It continued 36 hours without intermission, raging with great fury nearly the whole time, and from which the ship received considerable injury, having about 7 P. M. shipped a heavy sea that carried away her starboard bulwark from the bow to the main chains, with 6 pound cannonades, and obliged two more on the larboard side to be hove over to lighten her. She remains at Halifax to repair, and is expected to follow the Schooner Mullet, captain Stanley, who has taken the mail to New York in 7 or 8 days.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.
Yesterday arrived here H. B. M. Schooner Mullet, 7 days from Halifax. By the Mullet we learn, that the Chesterfield Packet capt. Gibbon, arrived at Halifax the 27th ult. On the passage from Falmouth, she received considerable damage in gales of wind, and was undergoing repairs; and would sail for this port about the 23d inst. The Mullet has brought the Chesterfield mail.

(N. T. Gaz.)
EXTRACTS OF LETTERS.
"GOTTENBUCH, June 25."
The court in Christianstadt is only an inferior court and therefore I have directly appealed to the highest court in Christiana; in which appeal I suppose I shall find myself fully justified, when I state to you, that there are only two judges, the one has a privateer knowingly, the other is interested secretly: besides, the highest bribe is always victorious. How the business will end, I am unable to tell; however, I hear that the court in Christiana, as well as the government at Copenhagen, entirely approve of their steps. But according to private information, I believe it is their intention to detain American vessels here till they see what part America is going to take, and accordingly either condemn or release them. We shall have to wait at least three months before our case will be decided in Christiana.
"COPENHAGEN, July 4."
The American consul here has asked the government whether the relations between the United States and Denmark were friendly or not. They have answered they were friendly. He has also asked whether vessels bound to Sweden, and been boarded by English cruisers, would be condemned according to present existing laws in Denmark—and they have answered, they could not be condemned.
To-morrow I shall present a memorial to the minister for foreign affairs, count Bernshoff, which perhaps may have some good effect. Captains How and Foster, who have both been condemned at Christiana, and who are now gone from hence, have had an audience with the king. He has promised them to send an order to the government of Christiana that the strictest justice shall be done to their cause; but if justice is sold as cheap at Christiana as at Christiansand we can hope for very little. There are now to the number of 25 American vessels in Norway and they are every day bringing in more. I think it worthy the serious consideration of government, whether they will suffer this property to be condemned."
"GOTTENBURG, July 21."
I had a conversation with count Bernshoff, minister of foreign affairs. I asked him if it was the intention of the Danish government to respect the real American property? He said, as yet it would be respected, but Denmark did not know what France was going to do. I know for certain that an express is sent from the king to Bonaparte to ask him how to proceed with the Americans.
I have also had an audience with the king of Denmark. He appeared to be a very well disposed man. He promised to send an order to Christiana for the court to proceed with the greatest circumspection.
Extracts from letters from the Supercargo of a ship belonging to Philadelphia, dated
"CHRISTIANSAAND, August 11—12."
"The privateers of this nation are very numerous, and capture every American vessel they meet with. There are now about 30 with valuable cargoes brought in here, many of which are tried and condemned. The voyage of every American ship in this country is destroyed; there is no hope in my opinion of any vessel being able to get away this winter if permitted by the government. The pretexes for capturing and condemning American vessels, are of the most frivolous and vexatious nature."
"The fact is, they are determined to condemn and retain all the American property they can get hold of, until they know the determination of a certain great power on the continent towards the United States. The agents of that power are actively employed against our interests. From the present situation of our commerce in the north of Europe, merchants in the United States do wrong in sending their property abroad in that direction. I apprehend we shall be detained here with the property until some step is taken by our government for our release."
ESTIMATE
Of the Austrian Territories in the possession of the French.
[From a French-German paper.] The parts of the Austrian monarchy possessed by French troops, are:
   German miles. Inhabitants.     Lower Austria 572 1,700,000   Stiria 398 812,000   Carinthia 190 230,000   Carniola, with the county of Goritz, and the territory of Monfalcone 251 422,000   Trieste 30,000   Salzburg & Berchtesgaden 170 195,000   Fiume 6,000   Of Moravia, about 180 500,000   Of Galicia, 200 500,000   Of Hungary  
The total number of inhabitants in the above countries, is 8,475,600. The territory independent of the Hungarian Gasparschafts, the superficial extent of which is not accurately ascertained, contains 3,775 German square miles. Before the commencement of the war, the whole Austrian monarchy contained, according to Lichtenstein, only 10,935 square miles, and 24,900,400 inhabitants.

Boston, October 18.
Latest from England.
Since our paper went to press last evening the ship Packet has arrived in 38 days from Liverpool, bringing London dates to the 6th Sept. at which time news had been received that peace had been concluded between France and Austria. The emperor Francis, as might be expected, makes immense sacrifices to the conqueror—he is to relinquish his imperial title and the greater part of his dominions, and in future is to be styled king of Hungary and Bohemia—Bonaparte adds to his former title that of archduke of Austria.
The earl of Catham had returned from the Walcheren expedition with the whole of the troops excepting 15,000, which are to remain to keep possession of the island. It was found impracticable to proceed up the river Scheldt, so as to get possession of the French fleet near Antwerp. Lord Wellington, late sir Arthur Wellesley, was under the necessity of retreating before the French troops immediately after the battle at Talavera, and had taken his position at Deleytosa, as appeared by his dispatch, dated at that place, August 8. His situation was considered very critical.
Centinel Office, Wednesday noon.
The packet has just arrived from Liverpool; bringing London news to the 6th Sept.
In a paper of the 5th it is reported, that France and Austria had concluded a peace. That Austria surrenders a great part of her territory. That Francis is loose his title of emperor, and take that of king of Hungary and Bohemia; and that Napoleon adds to his other titles, that of archduke of Austria. So far the report; and we think it a mere bubble. Paris Moniteurs to the 22d Aug. make no mention of any treaty being concluded, and that the negotiations of it were not to be opened in Hungary until the 15th of August. And a London paper of the 6th is silent on the subject.
The expedition to the Scheldt was returning. A great number of the troops had arrived in England, principally cavalry, the horses of which had not been landed. Lord Catham states as the cause of the abandonment of the ulterior objects, the impracticability of an attempt upon Antwerp, from the great number of troops assembled to defend it? and from the sickness, the effect of the climate, which began to be felt in his army. A force (15,000) is to be left in the island of Walcheren sufficient to secure that important possession. The papers are loud in condemning the earl of Catham for his
dilatoriness and want of energy. It is stated that the army is to be employed on a fresh expedition; and that the orders were transmitted on the 4th from the admiralty to Zealand, on the subject.
The accounts from Spain, by this arrival, are not so late as those we have received direct from Cadiz and Lisbon. But we have received the official letters of gen. Wellesley, of his retreat from Talavera, the report of which we before communicated. All the British wounded, excepting 2000, were left to the French. This letter is dated at Deletosa, the 8th Aug.
Extract of a letter to the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser, dated Boston, October 18, noon.
"This morning arrived here the ship Packet, Field, from Liverpool, from whence she sailed on the 8th of September."
"The British expedition has abandoned its design upon Antwerp and the French fleet in the Scheldt. The reasons given for this abandonment are, the great force which the French and Dutch had collected in opposition, the inundations, and the sickness of the troops, of whom 5000 are said to be on the sick list. Many of the troops had returned to England, including all the cavalry, none of which had been landed at all in Zealand. A garrison was left at Flushing, and there were rumors of an attempt to be made on Helvoetsluys and Williamstadt, and of another destination to a part of the expedition. The failure of the project on the Scheldt excited much discontent in England; some blaming the ministry, others the commander in chief, and a court martial was talked of with all that freedom of remark and invective which distinguishes the English press."
"It is reported that the preliminaries of peace between France and Austria are agreed on; and that plenipotentiaries were to meet at Oldenburg, in Moravia, on the 15th of August, to settle the definitive articles. Champagny and a Russian envoy had already gone thither."
"Sir Arthur Wellesley's official despatches to the 8th of Aug. had been published. He reflects but delicately on Cuesta. The French accounts of occurrences in Spain to August 8 or ten give very florid reports of their successes to that time, which must be very much exaggerated. The French on the 7th Aug. took the fort of Montjere, appertaining to the city of Gerona. It was not surrendered by the brave Spaniards until the effects of the siege had rendered the place untenable. The garrison retreated in safety to the city. The French say Gerona must surrender in a few days."
"Neutrals are said to be now freely admitted into the ports of Denmark and Sweden. Danish privateers are to cruise in the North Sea. The entry of American vessels into Russian ports is still embargoed; but their departure with cargoes is facilitated."
"There are rumors under the head of Turin, August 2, that all American vessels at Naples, Civita-Vecchia and Leghorn are sequestered, but the news by the Kite, at Baltimore, invalidates this. It is added that no more Americans, even direct from home, with colonial produce will be admitted into Leghorn."
"Nothing new about American affairs."
"The packet left at Liverpool the ship Ann. Reynolds, of New York, to sail Sept. 15; Manhattan, Barnard, of New-York, for Gottenburgh, 10th; Watson, Neil, of Portsmouth, for New York, uncertain;—Henrietta, Nicolle, do.
