The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.

From the SALEM GAZETTE.
THERE is a long winded jacobin writer in the Amherst paper, who has polluted the name of "FEDERALIST" for his signature. He entitles his essays "Politics for Farmers," thus intending both the head and tail as a lure for attention and credit—with how much success, we may judge from the following merry piece by another farmer, with a mere appropriate signature.
[From the Farmers Register. ]
MR. CUSHING,
THAT last piece in your paper headed Politics for Farmers, No. III. and signed A Federalist , astonished me most confoundedly. I wan't more astonished when I tho't my old grey horse had a calf. I don't know much about politics, but I wish every man who pretended to be a politician knew as much about his business as I do about my farm; we should not have such glagly work. I was at first glad this Federalist man was going to give us farmers some information, and I was willing to believe him, but he has now got as far above my belief as my great elm tree is higher than the house. I don't believe what he says no more than that my black sheep has white wool. Now if he aint a federalist, he means to deceive by signing himself so, and if he puts a falsehood at the bottom of his piece, I am afraid all above is false too—if his foundation is bad, I don't know how his house can stand. Whether he be a federalist or not, I dont no more believe what he says about British emissaries, British gold, and British pay, than I did Tom t'other morning when he told me that the white hen which set on turkey's eggs had hatched nineteen great bull frogs. It cant be true, and I'd just as soon throw my chickens into the hogsty, and tell the old sow to feed them, as trust him to teach me politics. But though I dont know much about politics, my wife Molly like him strangely, and are all the time making a plaguy noise about Mr. Great Britain giving other people so much money, when he dont give them any; and they want I should get an article put into the warrant for town meeting to see if he won't agree to hang Timothy Pickering because he won't do as that Mr. Frenchman wants he should.
Now I tell them this is all plaguy nonsense, but they won't believe me, as they have always loved that Mr. Frenchman ever since he learnt Moll to dance; but zounds! I'd rather see all my cattle in my cornfield, than one of those fellows skipping about my house.
Now I think on't, Mr. Cushing, I'll ask that Federalist some questions, and if he don't answer them I shall think he dont know much.
1. Who of our citizens are in British pay? and who are British emissaries? [Now if he dont name them he has asserted what he does not know to be true, and nobody will believe him hereafter.]
2. I want to know if Timothy Pickering wasn't one of general Washington's officers in the whole of our war with Great Britain?
3. I want to know how many of our vessels have been condemned in England within ten months, and how many in France in the same time.
4. I want to know if Great Britain prohibits our trade to Spain, or the W. Indies, or South America.
5. I want to know who does stop our trade.
6. I want to know whose gold made that John Q. Adams change his politics.
7. I want to know whether he means federal pamphlets, or those signed and distributed by Mr. Richard Evans.
8. I want to know who pays Mr. Evans for distributing those pamphlets.
9. I want to know if he has read Decius's letter.
10. I want to know how many of his letters it will take to puke a wheelbarrow.
Mr. Federalist says I ought to like the embargo and not murmur or complain; but I know he can't be a farmer, or he'd not like it himself. He had just as good tell me I ought to sit still when my brindled cow gets mired in the swamp and let her die. Does he think I'd be peaceable if I sent my bay horse to neighbor Triphammer's to be shod and he cut all his legs off to save the trouble of shoeing? I can tell
this federalist we farmers ain't all fools, and he needn't think so.
Now, Mr. Cushing, after you have read this yourself, I want you should put it in your paper and I'll be much obliged to you.

FROM THE N. Y. EVENING POST.
Two States disfranchised. —It is notorious that in the struggle between Jefferson and Burr for the Presidency, in the last resort, the success of the former was only obtained by the most direct and scandalous bribery and corruption. Monsieur Whiskey was the man who drove the bargain and bought two states. Say Mr. William C. C. Claiborne, what was the price of a vote on this occasion? And you Mr. James Linn, of New Jersey, you also perhaps can tell us what was the going price. The Madison faction will not trust to mere bribery alone: after creating an army, and thereby providing themselves with commissions for the purpose of buying up all the votes at market at the expence of the public, they have not scrupled to have recourse to open fraud and violence. As evidence of the desperate lengths to which they dare go, they have begun by disfranchising N. Jersey and Vermont, and they have long since threatened to disfranchise Massachusetts also, if they should find it necessary. Profligate individuals in this city have openly offered bets of large sums of money that the Massachusetts electors would be rejected if it was found that Madison had not a majority without doing it.
In Vermont five federal members of the assembly have been elected out of that body to supply five vacancies in the council, the upper branch of the Legislature; in such case the law provides that precepts for a new election should immediately issue to those towns whose representatives had thus been transferred. Justice and fair dealing, as well as law, required that these precepts should issue instanter in order that the inhabitants of these towns should have a voice in the counsels of the state, and particularly in the choice of electors. But when these precepts were moved for, the Madison faction, finding themselves a majority, and that they would not be so if these towns should be represented, negatived the motion. Thus the state of Vermont will in fact be deprived of her real voice in the choice of a president.
In New Jersey the conduct of this profligate faction is still worse. The existing law for choosing the electors by a general ticket, is discovered to have fixed the time of election two days earlier than the time prescribed by the act of congress, and of course that the election will be void. A committee was lately appointed by the legislature of the state to examine into the validity of this law, and report a remedy, which they agreed upon accordingly; but just before the report was to be made, the cue was given, and they refused to make any report whatever; and not only has no report been yet made, but measures have been taken to prevent any report's being made, till after the very day of election shall have passed. The object is manifest. Should the votes of New Jersey as given by the people, be necessary to Madison, means will be found to receive them; should they not be wanted, or should they be for federal electors, they will be rejected. But this is not all nor even the worst.
A memorial has been presented to the legislature, stating that there has been a fraud practised upon the electors, by an inspector in a certain town in the county of Gloucester, which memorial is committed. It is an admitted fact, that if the facts stated in the memorial are true, it will vacate the election of five sitting members, whose places will be filled by four of opposite politics, and thus change the majority from democratic to federal. But in order to guard against the possibility of such an event, the committee are not to report till the 16th instant, that is to say, after the sitting members have voted for Madison, and perhaps by their votes, made him president, altho' these five members have no more right to vote than five of Bonaparte's conscripts.
In this manner the two states of Vermont and New Jersey are as completely robbed of their rights, as completely defrauded of all voice in the election of president, as if their votes were burnt by the common hangman on Gallows Hill. Madison may indeed be thus smuggled into the presidency, but do the Madison faction flatter themselves that this will be submitted to? Do they believe it will be endured?—No—If I mistake not, we shall soon see the confederacy shock to its centre.
FROM THE SAME.
Whigs and Tories. —One is really sick and ashamed to see the pitiful, dirty tricks,
to which the administration papers dease ad to enlist the prejudices of the people on their side. The last dirty trick of this kind, is their resort to the old revolutionary names of whig and tory . The note was given in the Boston Chronicle, and the whole pack are now in full cry with it. Among the rest, little saivelling Smith at Washington, or as Duane called him, Silky-milky Smith, has joined in the yelp. In his last paper this contemptible little manikin observes, forsooth, "It becomes all important for the whigs , to shew themselves in their full strength, on the electoral vote for Madison." Really such meanness does not so much merit resentment as contempt. It is well disposed of in the following article, taken from a charming little paper published in Philadelphia, called the Tickler , with which by the way I have been tickled but with a single number since its commencement.
WHIG-MAKING.
Anticipating the success of imbecile stupidity over the first rate talents, Duane has commenced his career of blackguard triumph, and openly stigmatizes his opponents as tories , while the motley rabble, devoted to his views, are greeted with the appellation of whigs . The absurdities and impudence of this worthless rascal, are really laughable. At one period poor silly Elisha Cordon was held up by him to public execration, as a tory , an apostate and a traitor to his party; now forsooth Elisha is a good whig —and why is he one; because he has afforded another proof of his folly in voting for Snyder, a man almost as wise as himself.
Hundreds of instances could be adduced to prove Duane's foolish depravity—he calls himself a whig —what are his claims to that distinction? If cutting turf with a plachtering spade during our revolutionary struggles, had any thing to do with whiggism , then is Billy Duane a great whig . If flying from his native country, (not for the good he had done to the cause of liberty or humanity) entitles him to the appellation of whig , then is Duane a whig of the first magnitude. If enlisting as a foot-soldier in the British East-India company's service, savours of the principles of our revolution, then indeed is Col. Saddlepole a whig . If riding a pole in India for his rascality, is whiggism , then let no man deny that Bill Duane is a whig . If styling himself, so late as '95, one of his Britannic majesty's most loyal subjects, emanated from a spark from the altar of '76, constitutes his claim, we are willing to admit that he is indeed a most loyal whig . If after migrating from the territories of his beloved master, and cursing this country with his pestiferous society, his whig principles are to be defined by the calumny he vented on the father of his country—if they are founded on his unqualified abuse of the best patriots of our revolution, dead and living, then is Duane really one of the greatest whigs in America.
Michael Leib is another whig . But his revolutionary services consisted in catering for the Hessian Count Donop's table.
John Binns also claims the distinction of whig . His pretensions are full as well founded as Duane's. The old adage of 'shake them in a bag, and we don't know which will come out first,' exactly fits this brace of unprincipled liars.
Tench Coxe is a great whig —every body knows it.
We could adduce a volume of such whigs without once advertising to the 517 whigs , who were naturalized in one week from Berlin's house; but the theme is too disgusting to dwell on. Let the Calcutta Jeffery Gumbado proceed with the fulminations—he will awaken more real whigs to a sense of their danger than he is aware of.

Latest Foreign News.
Per barque Richard , Captain Odierne.
The London Courier of the 17th ult. makes the subsequent remarks on the capitulation of Junot and the Russian fleet:
We have this day the task imposed upon us of laying before our readers the extraordinary gazette, containing the dispatches relative to the evacuation of Portugal, and the surrender of the Russian fleet. It makes the heart sink to think that a victory so glorious as that of the 21st of August, should be followed by such a result. Good heaven! that a beaten enemy, an enemy of such a nature, an enemy who had been guilty of every crime that can disgrace human nature, should obtain such terms!—Are we awake? we naturally ask, in reading the dispatches; do we not dream? Is this record, a British record, to go down to the latest posterity?—But let us proceed to the consideration of it; a painful duty indeed!
It is not the least galling of the feelings to which these dispatches have given rise, that the conqueror of Vimiera should have signed the armistice on the 22d. It is the basis upon which the succeeding conventions were grounded. In this armistice it is provisionally agreed, "That the French army shall not in any case be considered as prisoners of war; that all the individuals who compose it shall be transported to France, with their arms and baggage, and the whole of their private property, from which nothing shall be expected."
"The neutrality of the port of Lisbon shall be recognized for the Russian fleet. That is to say, that when the English army or fleet shall be in possession of the city and port, the said Russian fleet shall not be disturbed during its stay, nor stopped when it wishes to sail, nor pursued when it shall sail until after the time fixed by the maritime law."
In reading the first of these articles, our readers we fear will not be immediately disposed to compare it with the very different result of the operations of the Spanish army against Dupont. Dupont's was a larger army than Junot's, and the army of Castanos was an army composed almost of raw levies; yet these levies forced Dupont to an unconditional surrender, and to discharge all the plunder they had acquired. Ours was an army composed of regular and disciplined troops, that had proved themselves able to beat a superior force brought against them; yet this enemy so beaten is to retain its plunder, is not even to be considered as prisoners of war; but is to return to France immediately, and is to be at liberty to serve against us the moment it reaches its native land—and we are to furnish the means of conveyance! and British ships are to be the carriers of a force, which may be sure will be immediately employed against Great Britain or her allies! Are not these humiliating, heart breaking facts? But would that the catalogue ended here! Our enemy's fleet was to remain unmolested in a port which he had just liberated! And with a squadron before that port, manned by British officers and seamen, who looked to the capture of the Russian squadron as the reward of their long watching and blockade with such a squadron, we were not by the articles of the armistice to molest the Russians during their continuance in the Tagus, nor obstruct them when leaving it, nor follow them after they had left it, before the expiration of the time prescribed by maritime law! This humiliation, which would have broken the hearts of our seamen, they were, thank God, spared. The subsequent convention between sir C. Coxe and admiral Siniaavin, gives up the Russian fleet to our admiral, though it is to be returned to Russia within six months after the conclusion of peace. We shall not go through the other articles of these conventions.
It will naturally be asked by our readers, after they have recovered from their first shock and surprise, what circumstances rendered it necessary for our commanders to agree to such terms? Imperious indeed must have been the necessity—And here we are desirous to give insertion to the following statement:
"The public seem much disappointed that the terms of capitulation granted Junot and his forces have been so disadvantageous to our interests, and perhaps justly, were it not that there might have been some secret motives, and very strong ones: supposing, for instance, Junot had possession of a strong post, and it was doubtful if he might not have defended it for a fortnight, three weeks or a month, or perhaps much longer, was it no object to gain that time in the situation that Spain is, with reinforcements pouring down from all quarters of France to strengthen the enemy in Biscay and Navarre, and to have a disposable force as large as that which would otherwise be employed in Portugal, to throw into the assistance of the Spaniards in that quarter. Were they able by our assistance to drive the enemy beyond the passes of the Pyrenees, before he has time to collect his force, would not that be a greater object in the ultimate success of the war, and does it not materially add to the probability of doing this by assisting them with this force three weeks or a month sooner than we could have done had we not accepted of the terms so complained of as granted to Junot."
Some such reason as that given in the foregoing statement will be found in sir H. Dalrymple's letter. The great importance of time which would have been consumed in the the protracted defence of the strong places they occupied is urged as the motive for acceding to such terms. It is said too, that when the armistice was agreed to, sir John Moore had not arrived, and it was doubtful whether so large a body could be landed on an open and dangerous beach.

as doubt was removed during the negotiation, and the men were landed. Still the enemy obtained just as good conditions as they had done in the convention as they had done in the convention. The second difficulty was with respect to supplying our troops with provisions from the ships; it seemed to be impossible that they should be supplied. These are the reasons upon which the terms granted to the enemy are justified.—It is said that his majesty's ministers are by no means satisfied with them.—(How could they be?) and that some enquiry will be immediately instituted. It was even asserted yesterday that government had sent orders not to ratify the conventions—but this we do not believe. Long before such orders could reach our commanders, the French would have been embarked, and perhaps have reached their own shores.
Never did such a gloom pervade the capital as pervaded it during the whole of yesterday. It seemed as if some great calamity had befallen the country, and instead of any one's feeling exultation at the deliverance of Portugal, the first indignant question asked by every one was, whether such terms were ever heard of?
BY THE LAST MAIL. BALTIMORE, November 9.
One Day Later.
We are indebted to a friend for the "GLOBE," a London paper of the 25th of September. We have made the following summary of its contents: Letters from Stockholm and Copenhagen of the 12th and 16th of September, mention that the Russian admiral at Port Reval, had offered to capitulate on condition of the fleet being unrigged and not permitted to leave during the war. Instead of this, the allies demanded that five sail of the line and six frigates should be surrendered, and the rest placed in the above situation. This was not acceded to by the Russians. Sir James Saumarez is said to be sanguine that the whole will be captured or destroyed.
They also speak of a reported defeat of the Swedes north of Åbo—and that the Russians have sent a reinforcement of 20,000 men into Finland. It appears by an article dated "Medina del Campo, 3th September," that the French occupied Provencials, Exentas and Navarre and that the Spanish troops of Arragon and Valencia, have entered Tudela.
Another article dated "Shores of Biscay 12th Sept." states, on the authority of Madrid letters of the 3d, that 75,000 Andalusians were on their march to Madrid. The united army would then amount to 150,000 with whom it was intended to flank the French. The principal body of French troops was near Tudela, and amounted to 20,000 to watch whom the Spaniards have 25,000.
Letters from Lisbon and Oporto, of the 11th and 12th October mention a number of causes of complaint existed between the British and the natives, principally relating to military co-operation. The English have taken the lead and the jealousy of the Portuguese has been excited about their mode of conducting. The Portuguese general Andrade has formally protested against the convention with Junot.
Bonaparte had not left Paris on the 15th September. His destination is said to be Strasburgh, where the members of the Rhenish confederacy were to meet him.
The movements on the continent still indicate an early renewal of hostilities with Austria, who has assumed an undismayed attitude. Her army is formed into eight divisions, each commanded by a field marshal. The archduke Charles is generalissimo, minister of war and supreme in all matters of military jurisdiction.
The Duke of Sudermania has assumed command of the Swedish army on the frontiers of Norway, which affords a conjecture that the plan against it will be resumed.
Three days after the first French division were, by convention, to embark from Portugal, not one soldier had left it.
An action is reported to have taken place between the French and British near Corunna, in which the latter were victorious.
By an order in council of the 21st September, all Portuguese property detained since the occupation of Portugal by the French, is directed to be restored.
KINGSTON, (Jam) September 17. By the schooner Isabella, which arrived on Monday, from St. Jago de Cuba, we learn that the governor of that place, who it seems greatly favored the French people, settled there, has been removed by the governor in chief at the Havana, the marquis
de Someruelos, who has appointed another in his room. The French, alarmed at this measure, expostulated against the removal of their favorite, and plainly evinced a determination to resist the newly appointed governor, when he should arrive to assume the functions of his office. He had, however, arrived within 8 miles of St. Jago, where with a considerable body of troops he had taken up his quarters. resolved not to enter the town until the French had left it, and had transmitted orders to that place, directing that all the French there should immediately embark and quit the island.—These orders were not obeyed, and Spanish forces, we understand, were marching in all directions for the purpose of co-operating with the new governor in enforcing prompt obedience to the laws of the island. The French, whose numbers are represented to be no less than 12,000 in St. Jago, were determined to resist, and the greatest portion of them were well armed. A severe conflict, it was expected, would soon take place.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON.
THURSDAY, November 10. Mr. Chittenden, of Vermont, offered the following resolution:
Resolved , That the act passed at the last session of Congress, entitled "An act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports of the United States," and the several acts supplementary and additional thereto, ought to be immediately repealed.
On motion to consider, the question was taken by ayes and noes, and carried—ayes 82—noes 9. It was then committed to a committee of the whole house, and after some discussion, made the order of the day for Monday next.
Mr. Elliott offered a resolution, calling on the secretary of the treasury, for copies of all instructions issued to collectors under the embargo laws. Laid on the table.
Mr. Eppes then offered three resolutions in effect as follows:
Resolved , That from and after the day of next, all intercourse between the United States and Great Britain, her islands and dependencies ought to cease and determine.
Resolved , That from and after the day of next, all intercourse between the United States and France, her islands and dependencies ought to cease and determine.
Resolved , That provision ought to be made for arming and equipping militia, in addition to those already provided for by law.
Committed to a committee of the whole and made the order for Monday next.
The Rev. Obediah Brown was elected Chaplain. The Rev. Mr. Elliott has been chosen by the Senate. They are to exchange weekly.
Mr. Randolph took his seat to-day.
From the New-York Gazette, of the 7th.
On Saturday evening it was reported, that the ship Sally, of Portsmouth, had arrived in 30 days from London, somewhere near the city—that Mr. Harris, one of the owners, had come on shore with dispatches from Mr. Pinckney—that Great Britain had acceded to every thing this government had required of her except the RIGHT OF SEARCH—It was also mentioned, that a merchant of this city, who came passenger in the Sally, was in town, and that he had handsomely decored the captain to remain out a few days longer, till he had effected certain speculations. We took considerable pains to ascertain the origin of those reports; and though we could not trace them to any authentic source, yet we were made acquainted with some circumstances, which induces us to believe that this news may possibly be true.
The above ship Sally, was bound to Bordeaux, captured and sent to England. She went to London some time since to take freight for America, and may have arrived.
"KINGSTON, Jamaica, September 17." Our market at one time since our last was bare of flour, and the price for a short space got up to 42 dollars per barrel—We however, have had lately a large supply from England and Quebec, and the price is now 20 to 21 dollars per barrel; and we are inclined to think it will be lower. There is no doubt when the embargo with you ceases but every article of your produce will be plenty here. We refer you to quotations herewith for the present state of our market.
Rum 4s 6d. a 5s per gal. Sugar 30s a 60s per cwt. Coffee 90 a 100 cents per 100 lb. Bills on London 17 1-2 per cent. premium. On America none, dollars 3 per cent premium.
Proof in point. —That any who doubt the fact, may see for themselves in what scandalous partiality the administration indulges itself towards the French, and that they may also see how unworthy and basely some of our American democratic captains conduct themselves, we republish the following article.— N. Y. Ev. Post.
Last night's London Gazette, Saturday August 20.
ADMIRALTY OFFICE, Aug. 20. [A letter from vice ad. Dacres, inclosed the following.]
His Majesty's ship Guerriere , at sea, July 20.
SIR—I have the honor to acquaint you with the capture, on the 17th inst. of the French cutter privateer Perry (late his majesty's cutter Barbara ) of Guadalupe, after a chase of twenty four hours, by his majesty's ship Guerriere under my command.
This vessel mounting 12 18 pounder carronades, with 90 men, and commanded by M. Maurison, sailed from Charleston on the 10th inst, where she had been refitted recently and furnished with stores and provisions for three months. She was discovered in the track of the valuable Jamaica fleet, under convoy of the Veteran , of which she had obtained more correct information as to their strength number and situation, from the master of an American brig, who had himself claimed and received the protection of that convoy, which he betrayed to the enemy in twenty four hours after parting company.
I am, &c. (Signed) ALEX. SKENE.
The ship Fabius , John Maginnis, master, sailed from the island of Martinique the 3d day of December; the 5th, was brought too and boarded by a French privateer of Guadalupe and treated politely. The next day, St. Kitts bearing NE. distance four leagues, was boarded by the British brig Grenada , of 13 guns, and treated politely, and on the 8th, Saba bore NE. distance five miles, was fired at, and brought too by the British sloop of war St. Christopher , of 20 guns; after hoisting the colors, and heaving the ship too, she fired again with muskets, and ordered me to come under her stern, and immediately sent a boat on board, took me on board with my papers, and after some examination, sent for the supercargo and log-book, then sent two officers on board, without knowing what we were detained for the captain of the sloop of war discovered a vessel to anchor close into Saba, hailed to my ship to make sail and follow him. Two boats were then dispatched to cut the vessel out, which proved to be a French privateer schooner; the boats were beat off twice, and then recalled to the ship by signal. The sloop of war came close up to her, and gave her several broadsides, which were returned with small arms by the privateer's men, who got on shore, and sheltered themselves under the rocks. Night coming on, the boats were sent again to cut her out, the sloop of war then bore away for my ship, and ordered the two officers who were on board, to hoist my boat and come on board, and returned us our papers, and permitted us to proceed on our course, after detaining us 12 hours, without any reason, only that we were from a French port.
