Modern Geography.
A Description of the Empires, Kingdoms, States, and Colonies, with the Oceans, Seas and Isles, in all parts of the World—including the most recent Discoveries and political Alterations, digested on a new plan.
By JOHN PINCKERTON.
The Astronomical Introduction by the Rev. S. Vince, A. M. F. R. S. and Plumian Professor of Astronomy, and Experimental Philosopher, in the University of Cambridge.
WITH NUMEROUS MAPS,
Drawn under the direction, and with the latest improvements, of Arrowsmith, and engraved by the best artists.
THAT a new and more correct work on Geography, than has hitherto appeared, has long been much wanted, is a fact too evident to admit of contradiction. Few men are capacitated to perform the arduous task of compiling a system perfectly correct—but none, perhaps, that have attempted it, have been so successful as the author of these volumes. The work first appeared in London, in March 1802, and met with a reception which sufficiently proved the high estimation in which it was held, but, as an extract from the Author's preface [which may be seen at those places where subscriptions are received] will more clearly explain his plan, and the exertions which were made to give it to the British Public in a correct state, the American Publishers will content themselves with simply observing, that no endeavor shall be wanting, on their part, to render it, by useful additions, even more valuable than it now is. They have engaged several scientific characters to revise the whole work, and particularly that part which relates to America; to which considerably more attention will be paid than may have been thought necessary by the Author. To the maps in the English edition, will be added, a map of the United States, and one of each state of the Union, which have been some time preparing by a gentleman of professional eminence. The whole of the maps, which will be bound in a separate quarto volume, will be executed in a style of elegance never exceeded in this country. When it is considered, that the English Edition sells at thirty dollars, and the American is to be delivered to subscribers at nine, the Publishers are induced to believe that every friend to science and the interests of the American press, will give this work their cordial and immediate patronage.
CONDITIONS.
The Work will be comprised in two octavo volumes, of about 800 pages each, and a quarto Atlas, containing Sixty Maps.
It will be printed on a fine paper and new type.
The price to subscribers will be nine dollars, handsomely bound and lettered. Each volume will be delivered as soon as finished, and no money required until the delivery.
It will be put to press as soon as four hundred subscribers are obtained.
In order to procure an immediate encouragement to the undertaking, the sum at which subscribers will receive their books is considerably under that which will be charged to non-subscribers.
PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription,
The First American Edition OF THE SELECT BRITISH CLASSICS, To be copied from the last London Edition.
IN THIRTY-EIGHT VOLUMES.
Embellished with seventy-six Engravings.
CONTAINING,
The Tatler, Spectator, Guardian, and
Connoisseur, the World, Rambler, Idler, and Adventurer, the Mirror, Shenstone's Sketches of Men and Manners, the Citizen of the World, or Letters from a Chinese Philosopher, and all the other Essays of Doctor Goldsmith. Together with brief Memoirs of the Lives of the Principal Authors.
IT would be superfluous to dilate in praise of that constellation of eminent authors, who have been distinguished, in these volumes, by the peculiar title of British Classics. The names of ADDISON, STEEL, POPE, JOHNSON, HAWKESWORTH, and GOLDSMITH, have been too long known, and too highly esteemed, to stand in need of an Eulogium at the present day. The excellent Essays written by them, and others their contemporaries, which are now proposed for publication, have been justly admired as a faithful picture of the manners of the Eighteenth Century, and recommended as containing, not only a rich Magazine of moral, and critical knowledge, as well as chaste amusement, but as the fairest models of English composition—seldom equalled, and never surpassed, by the writers of this or any other age.
All, therefore, that seems necessary for the Subscribers, is, to acquaint their friends and the public in general, that they intend to publish an American Edition of this truly classical collection, in a style that will not dishonor the works themselves, or be deemed unworthy of the patronage of their fellow-citizens.
THE CONDITIONS are as FOLLOW:
I. A Volume, containing from two hundred and fifty, to three hundred pages, will be published every fortnight. Each Volume shall be printed on a fine wove paper, with a new type, and be embellished with two Engravings, by the first Artists in the United States. The whole shall be superior to Parsons's London Edition, which has been sold for fifty dollars.
II. The price, to be paid on delivery, shall be 87 and a half cents, in boards. This covering is to be preferred, because when books are fresh from the press, they are not fit to be bound in leather, nor can the whole be executed with so much uniformity. The price to non-subscribers will be advanced to at least one dollar a Volume.
III. In the last Volume, will be given, a complete alphabetical list of all the subscriber's names.

ORIGINAL LETTER.
In the following letter from a young gentleman of extensive information and superior talents now in Europe will be found many interesting and instructive remarks upon the present crisis of political affairs on the other side of the Atlantic.
Edinburgh, April 5, 1803.
BEFORE this letter is received, I presume, you will have heard that the political horizon of Europe is again darkened by clouds which portend the immediate revival of a desolating war. Ere the billows had completely subsided of a storm of unexampled fury and duration, we see a new tempest arising which threatens still more violently to agitate the ocean. Curiosity like yours will be directed to ascertain the causes which have so suddenly operated such important changes. But the proximate grounds of the policy from which they proceed are so completely enveloped in ministerial secrecy, that nothing has yet transpired, even from the sapient conductors of the London prints, except unsatisfactory conjectures and contradictory reports.
To the unsettled and ill-balanced state in which Europe was left by the arrangements of the late treaty of peace, we may, without hesitation, ascribe the more remote cause of these warlike aspects. But doubtless some subsequent occurrences have inflamed the irritation which already existed and hastened the present awful crisis. It will be recollected by you, that the peace was opposed by many of the most enlightened statesmen of this country, on the principle, that the overgrown power and immense aggrandizement of France totally subverted that equipoise in the relations of the European states, on which the soundest policy, for more than a century past, has placed their reciprocal protection. Even those who defended the peace did it with a conviction, that many sacrifices were made, and that it promised only a temporary continuance. They acted from a desire to terminate a war which had been conducted on principles too subtle and refined to be generally understood, and, consequently, to receive that unanimity of support on which success depends. To oppose the diffusion of French principles was a motive of war too equivocal to be comprehended or approved by the mass of the people. All, however, concurred in the sentiment that it was impossible peace could be preserved whilst France held so disproportionate an influence, and equally agreed that political wisdom dictated the renewal of hostilities for the purpose of destroying so dangerous an ascendancy, whenever a favorable opportunity should occur. I do not say, that a declaration as explicit was made in Parliament—but I assert it was the sentiment which not only prevailed in that house, but which pervaded the whole nation. In this temper of mind we detect, then, a predisposition that would require no very strong provocation to excite to action. Such a provocation has been given, and a forbearance not to be expected has hitherto preserved tranquility, for we have seen, "ere the ink was dry or the wax cold," of the preliminary stipulations, that they were violated on the part of the French government, by the annexing of Piedmont and the Isle of Elba, the acquisition of Louisiana, the exercise of a controuling authority over Holland, by the daring usurpation of the supremacy of the Cisalpine republic by Bonaparte, and, finally, by his arbitrary interposition in the affairs of the virtuous and unoffending Swiss. Can these proceedings admit of any other conclusion than that an atrocious ambition has premeditated a design dangerous to the safety and independence of all Europe? and which all Europe is called upon to resist? but which this wonderful little "sea-girt" spot seems at this time alone, to have the wisdom and courage to oppose.
But though the series of aggressions which I have mentioned certainly have considerably influenced the recent determinations of the cabinet of St. James, still they are not to be considered as the direct and efficient cause of the existing hostile appearances. It is more generally believed they are occasioned by the

peremptory refusal of Britain to evacuate Malta. This post was to be relinquished, according to the Treaty of Amiens, but it is now alleged that France can very ill exact a compliance with the stipulations of a treaty, the obligations of which she has so nearly disregarded. It is moreover urged, and which cannot be controverted, that a treaty ceases to be obligatory when the relative situation of the contracting parties differs from what it was when the contract was made.—Have not the relative circumstances of the two countries been most materially altered since the period of forming the treaty, by the vast accession of territory which France has acquired, and by her still more extensive, indirect influence? Besides, you will recollect that the stipulation respecting Malta was provisional—that is, if Russia would consent to guarantee it. Now, as that power has positively refused to do so, and as evidently, in Europe, no other guarantee could be procured that would not be under the influence of France, what can Britain do else but retain it? Every consideration of right and policy forbids it to be relinquished. Besides, to evacuate it, there is a certainty of its being virtually or absolutely possessed by her enemy, which would open the way to the invasion of Egypt and expose her Indian possessions to the danger of annoyance if not of conquest.
I have dwelt the more on this point, as I am persuaded it is the subject of the pending discussions, and from a wish to give you the probable vindication that will be published by Britain to the world in the event of a renewal of hostilities.—You are, however, to give to my communications no greater confidence than you may suppose they merit as conveying only the most plausible and best supported conjectures which prevail here.
On the very interesting question of the probability of peace or war, I am sure you will eagerly solicit information—but we yet remain in such entire darkness, even as to the causes of the misunderstanding, that any conclusion from premises so uncertain and imperfect, you must be sensible, will be liable to extreme fallacy and deception.
If we look to the unparalleled exertions employed to prepare and equip the navy for service, and likewise to the equally active arrangements in the army, we shall certainly be disposed to conclude that war is inevitable and will very shortly be declared. Ever since the message from the throne, the pressing of seamen and the commissioning of ships have been unremittingly continued. The militia have also been ordered out, and the most prompt and effectual means are used to recruit completely, the regiments of the regular service. But some hopes are yet entertained by a few, that the matters in dispute may be amicably adjusted. Couriers are daily passing between the two countries; but the contents of the dispatches which they convey are not allowed to transpire. We have nothing respecting the issue of the negotiation entitled to credibility. The papers are filled with speculations but founded alone on conjecture. Of this however, you may be certain, that there has long existed here a discontent at the terms of the peace (I mean a jealousy of the preponderance which France was suffered to retain) and that the insolence and overbearing spirit, together with the implacable animosity manifested by Bonaparte on every occasion against this country, have irritated it into so hostile a disposition, that nothing can restrain it from bursting into open war, but submission on his part to the claims now urged, and the best pledge given of a future amicable intention. The vile and treacherous policy he has so long pursued, of attempting to embarrass the commerce and injure the finances of the country, by exciting a constant alarm, by provoking to frequent armaments and then obviating an actual rupture by protracted negotiations and ultimate concessions, has been completely detected and will no longer delude. If affairs can be so settled as to promise a lasting peace (which can hardly be expected in the present state of Europe) war will inevitably take place. The minister who should now, by an imperfect compromise, offend the passions and prejudices of the nation, would probably, in its present temper, lose his head. There is with me, then, little hope of the preservation of peace. That Bonaparte will retract, as far as perhaps he is now required, cannot be expected from his character, and I know that the ministry of this country dare not recede.
Considering, therefore, that war is unavoidable, let us speculate on the probable consequences: And first—I will endeavor to expose the error of a very prevalent notion in America, that Great
Britain was nearly reduced to bankruptcy by the expenses of the late war, and demonstrate to your entire satisfaction (if you will accredit my statements) her competency to resume and maintain the contest. It is so far from being true, that the war diminished the national wealth, that it did not even check its augmentation. It is established, by the clearest evidence, that both the agricultural and commercial capital of the country was increased during that period. The rent and price of lands were nearly doubled, and the exports and imports were in nearly the same proportion—and what further establishes it, is the very sensible melioration in the credit of the people. This increase of affluence, I am told by those who are competent to decide, is very obvious in every grade of society. If then, at the conclusion of a war of unprecedented sacrifice and expense (which though generally distinguished by the most glorious and successful achievements, was yet marked by some of the heaviest losses and misfortunes) we find that instead of the prosperity of the nation being unfavorably affected, its resources had flourished and multiplied beyond example, we cannot entertain a doubt of her adequacy to support the threatened war, nor any reasonable apprehension of the event, if it be conducted with sagacity and discretion.—Taught by experience, the futility of attempting to make an impression on the continental possessions of France, it is to be hoped that so expensive and ineffectual a mode of warring with the enemy will be abandoned, and that alone every energy will be confined to the navy, and thus, at a comparatively inconsiderable expense, a fleet will be maintained equal to the command of the ocean, to harass the coasts of France, to burn many of her towns, to seize her colonies and naval posts, and finally to destroy the remains of her navy and utterly annihilate her commerce; thus raising still higher that naval superiority of which France is now so envious. Where, then, exist the grounds of so much terror of the "mighty nation?" It is true that the phantom of an invasion has again been raised to frighten and deter. But none except the weak and the timid can ever have an apprehension from this source. If Bonaparte should, in the delirium of resentment or the intoxication of vain-glory, have the mad temerity to make the attempt let us consider the chances of success.—Is it presumable that an army of any force can effect an invasion, when watched by a navy so vigilant and powerful? But admitting (which is granting almost an impossibility) that an army of force should land—we are to recollect the numberless disadvantages with which they would have to contend, cut off from their country and without the means of supply or reinforcement, they must, even if primarily successful, be speedily vanquished by the wasting of their numbers. But this is the most unfavorable conclusion. Are we not rather warranted in concluding that British valor, when animated by the call of patriotism, and inflamed by every passion which can give energy to exertion, will not for a moment be resisted? History records many examples which will justify the conclusion I wish to impress. In Grecian story we read of a Thermopylae, a Marathon, and a Salamis—the exploits of a Leonidas, a Miltiades and a Themistocles. The Swiss, meagre in resources and not more powerful in numbers have exhibited exertions, not inferior in brilliancy or glory. Nor will the history of our own country less enforce the instructive admonition, that a people when roused by an attempt to seize their rights, their liberties, and the independence of their country, are capable of exertions not to be measured by any ordinary standard of calculation.
I see, therefore, in the threatened war consequences the most ruinous to France, and nothing which can materially affect the interest of Great Britain.—The former will be impoverished almost to a degree of beggary by the total suspension of her reviving manufactures and commerce, whilst the latter will increase her capital by sweeping the trade of the whole world into her ports. It is true, the national debt (that "Canker," as Mr. Jefferson calls it, but which I consider as the best bond of political society) will be augmented—but in no ways proportioned to the vast accumulation of national wealth.
A debt becomes oppressive not from its positive amount, but when it exceeds the means of paying it. It is a thing entirely relative. The debt of England can never, then, be seriously burdensome to whatever amount it may attain. If the national wealth proceed in the same ratio of increase. Not one half of the present sum could have been supported by the nation fifty years ago.
You see that I have drawn nothing to my support from a supposition of a coalition on the continent against France. I think, however such a calculation may be made. Russia has betrayed, recently, some jealousy of France, in consequence of detecting an intrigue of Bonaparte with the Porte for a part of his Levant possessions, and it is highly probable that Austria and Switzerland, under their recent insults and losses, would not be averse to enter into an efficient coalition.
Permit me to direct your attention to the more immediate concerns of this country. And here, Sir, we shall find the most ardent patriotism and the warmest loyalty, the one aroused by the present crisis, and the other called forth by the late conspiracy against the life of their king. In Parliament, an unanimity never before witnessed. All parties seem to have buried their distinctions and animosities and to have united their exertions for the general good. If a war should be declared, I believe it would meet with the most universal support. There is but one point on which any diversity of sentiment prevails. It is an opposition to the present Ministry, as being incompetent to the present conjuncture. The recall of Mr. Pitt is clamorously demanded. Many rumours are in circulation about a change of Ministry. It is said that the king has assented to the coalition of any parties, provided Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox be excluded from the Ministry. He can tolerate neither of them. So various are the rumours on this subject that it is impossible to say what will really take place. We hear of Lord Moira, Crey, Sheridan, and several of the old ministry coming into office. The voice of the nation, which so vehemently calls for Mr. Pitt, must, however be obeyed. It is even said that this is already determined, and that the Easter recess of parliament is the time fixed for his resuming his former offices.
The subject of our difference with Spain has excited much interest in this country. The last intelligence which reached us was, that Congress were debating with CLOSED DOORS, and that General Smith had declared he considered the country as on the eve of a war.—Letters from Madrid published here mention that the conduct of Spain towards us proceeds entirely from the instigation of France. Is the matter considered in this light in America?
BOSTON, June 6. SOUTHACK'S TRIAL. On Saturday last, came on before the circuit court of the United States, now sitting in this city, the trial of John Southack, on an indictment for forging, uttering and publishing an order or check on the bank of the United States, payable to himself or order, for six thousand eight hundred dollars. After a long and patient hearing, by the Court and Jury, in the course of which many witnesses were examined on the part of Government, adduced by Mr. Blake, the District Attorney, the Jury retired, and in a few moments returned with a general verdict against the defendant. The sentence, we understand, will be pronounced to-morrow.
After conviction, the prisoner made the following confession to the court: May it please your Honors. I stand before you a dreadful example of human infirmity, and of the manner in which we may be carried from the height of human felicity to the depths of human misery. When I consider what transactions I have been guilty of, the injuries I have committed on society, by endeavoring to undermine its best principles, the wounds I have given religion by my example my heart bleeds at every pore. I am an example how young persons may be imperceptibly led from the path of virtue to that of vice, and may say with another character, who had suffered for his crimes, "Good God! what might I have been, what am I now?"
Setting out in life with property, with the principles of religion, and serving my time in a store where I saw nothing but the fairest transactions carried on, I tho't all mankind good, and this world a place of sincerity—till I found some in whom I had put the utmost confidence, had deceived me, stripped me of my property, and showed me the deception of the human heart. I unfortunately then undertook their plan, and it has brought me to this bar. I acknowledge the justice of God and thank him for arresting me in the progress of guilt, before I had reached that bar from whose decisions there is no appeal. As to the crime of which I am now charged, I can solemnly declare, that I had no idea of defrauding the bank. The check was not drawn in the form of one, nor could it be taken as such.
The second witness, Mr. Randail, has been connected with me in a great many transactions, which I wish may be buried in eternal oblivion. Money and the note of 500 dollars, were forced from me in the most iniquitous and infamous manner. This paper was drawn and given to him in a moment of passion—but with no design to defraud any person. My intention was to put him in a little temporary difficulty at Philadelphia, which he highly deserves—however, I am pretty certain he is only reserved finally to meet it at Charlestown.
The third witness, Miss Barnes, has told the truth the whole truth—I have no reflection to make on her. God grant I may meet her in a better and unchanging world, to part no more forever!
The public mind is incensed against me, and justly, for my crimes—but instead of their resentment, let them now retire in pity, and remember that once I stood as firm as they—that we are all born alike, but not buried alike—and I pray God that others may shun the rocks upon which I have split.

Army of St. Domingo.
Copy of a letter from the general in Chief to Clauzel, general of Division.
Port-au-Prince, le 12 Floreal (May) I have the honor to inform you, general, that the First Consul, feeling the greatest solicitude for the army of St. Domingo, and desirous of terminating this fatal war without loss of time, not content with the daily reinforcements we receive, sends at this moment from the port of France an army of 20,000 men, to which shall succeed another of the same force as early as necessary, should not the brigands be, as is expected, totally annihilated by the first army.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) DTN. ROCHAMBEAU.

SALEM, June 6.
OF WAR—AGAIN.
Capt. Brown, who arrived here yesterday from Hamburg, spoke on the 26th May, the brig Nancy, Ward, of Boston, who left Liverpool the 8th of May. Capt. W. informed capt. B. that the day he left Liverpool it was briskly reported that England had actually declared war against France. We report this news as we receive it, and leave our readers to put their own construction upon it.
PETERSBURG, June 7.
On Saturday last a duel was fought on Battersea plantation, between Mr. George Tucker and Mr. James Huges, both of this town. They shot each other the first fire—the former received a wound thro' the leg just below the knee, which, it is supposed, will prove very injurious;—the latter was shot through the body, and it is believed he is mortally wounded.
Yesterday morning another Duel was fought near this town, between Mr. Thomas K. Harris, and Mr. James Trezvant. At the second fire the latter received a wound in the body, of which he now lies very ill, but there are flattering hopes of his recovery.
The quarrels which produced these unhappy interviews we are well assured were not of a political nature.
NEW-YORK, June 8.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in the Suite of Mr. Monroe, to his friend in this city, dated Paris, April 16th, 1803.
Mr. Monroe was presented to the Minister for Foreign affairs on the 11th, by whom he was received with every mark of attention. He assured him that he was authorised by the First Consul to declare that he heard of his arrival in France with much satisfaction. Mr. Monroe will not be presented to the first consul until ten days hence, that being the time appointed for presenting the foreign ministers.
General Bernadotte left Paris on the 13th to embark for the United States, where he is to reside as Minister from this government. It is the general opinion that War is at no great distance. Orders were issued two days ago to prevent the sailing of all French vessels.
PHILADELPHIA, June 8.
PEACE TO BE CONTINUED. —A gentleman of intelligence and veracity in St. Domingo writes to his friend in this city under date of the 11th of May that a vessel from the French government had just arrived at Martinique and St. Domingo, with assurances from the First Consul to the officers of the Colonial governments that peace will certainly be continued in

Europe. This letter was received by the brig Lilly arrived at Wilmington from St. Domingo.
WASHINGTON, (Kent.) May 26. INDIAN HOSTILITIES!
Mr. Daniel Wall, who arrived from Natchez on Monday last, has been polite enough to give us the following important, though melancholy intelligence. As one Joseph White, a Mr. Stapleton and our informant, were passing through the wilderness together, they were fired on by two Indians who lay in ambush by the road side. There must have been two balls in each of the Indians' guns, as that number passed through White's breast, which instantly terminated his existence, and the same through our informant's hat. Two other Indians were standing off a few yards who did not fire, but attempted to catch the horses that were following with the packs and that of the deceased, but did not effect it. The survivors were pursued several miles, the Indians frequently appearing in sight, and among them a white man was plainly discovered. When they arrived at duck river settlement about 15 miles this side of the place where the attack was made, a party went back and got the money, which our informant and his companion had hid, but seen nothing of the Indians, nor could they find Mr. Wall's horse.
A few nights before this attack, which was on Friday the 13th inst. our informant was told, a party had been fired on 5 times, were drove from their camp and lost all their money and a gun, but no person was killed or wounded. On the 14th, another party was attacked, and pursued 7 or 8 miles by persons on horseback.
As our informant passed through the nation, he saw a Mr. Patterson, from near Lexington, who had a few days before been badly wounded in the shoulder and arm by the savages.
In addition to the foregoing details of savage depredation, we have to add, that the post rider from Chillicothe informs, that on Monday last, a man of the name of Williams, was killed by the Indians and another wounded. One of the Indians was also wounded, but got off.
BALTIMORE, June 8.
Extract of a letter from Edward Tiffin, esq. governor of the state of Ohio, to a gentleman of this city, dated
CHILICOTHE, May 27, 1803.
"We have had an alarm from the Indians, two white men have been killed and one wounded, and one Indian of the Shawanese nation—I have just returned from the Frontiers, and am happy to find it has originated from private quarrels with the individuals who have suffered, and without the knowledge of the chiefs, who are very sorry on hearing of the affair, and sincerely disposed to cultivate peace and harmony with the white people. We have imprudent men settled on our Frontiers, and the Indians have considerable young warriors amongst them.—It requires much prudence and address to keep both sides in order.
From New-Orleans.
May 5, 1803.
"Our situation here is truly unfortunate in the present crisis of affairs. Every kind of business is nearly suspended, owing to the general distrust and apprehension which prevail. Every one looks for the worst, and is preparing accordingly. Would to God our fears may not be realized. I send you the enclosed document.—It was signed by a considerable number of the inhabitants, some from genuine feelings, others from courtesy, some from fear and a variety of other inducements.
ADDRESS
Of the French Inhabitants of New-Orleans, to L'Aussat, Colonial Prefect, in answer to his proclamation of the 6th Germinal, 11th year.
Citizen Prefect,
France has done justice to our opinion, by believing in the unalterable attachment which we have preserved for her. Thirty-four years reign of a foreign power have not weakened in our minds the close love of our native land, and now in returning under her flag, our joy is equal to the sorrow we felt when forced to separate from her. Happy the natives of Louisiana who have lived long enough to be witnesses of this re-union, which they have never ceased to desire, and which is the accomplishment of their dearest wishes. In an age so pregnant with astonishing events, no doubt there have happened things of greater magnitude, more imposing and more memorable—but nothing perhaps offers so interesting, so moving a scene, as that of victorious and triumphant France hold-
ing out her protecting arm to children that had been torn from her breast by weakness and prevarication, and offering to share with them the fruits of a glorious peace, which terminated in so brilliant a manner, the most bloody and most terrible of revolutions. You have signified, citizen prefect, the return of the French government, by a genuine proof of her benevolent views. Your proclamation of the 6th of this month, by which you announce them, has penetrated us with gratitude for her paternal care. The first favours of the republic are felt, the happy choice of the chief which she places at our head, the honorable reputation of whom has already reached us—the chosen troops which she sends to guard our homes, are certain presages of the happiness and prosperity she is preparing for us. We offer to her in return our submission, our obedience, and our love—and we swear to prove ourselves worthy of her name. She would probably place less value on the homage of our fidelity, if she saw us leave, without any symptoms of sorrow, the sovereign who has loaded us with favors, during the time he has reigned over us.
That culpable indifference does not exist in our hearts—the regret of losing him occupies a place with the joy of returning to our native country—and it is by retaining an eternal remembrance of his goodness, that we mean to shew ourselves worthy of the favors and attachment of the French republic.

"The Marquis of Caso Calvo arrived here last evening, with the royal order to deliver up this province to the French officer who may be charged with its Duplicate. I have learnt from good authority that the Capt. Gen. of Cuba disapproves of the intendants conduct and that he had ordered the deposit to be opened some time since unless the royal order to the contrary had been received. The Marquis was surprised to find it yet shut. All this is a tissue of Riddles, which time only will develop."
WASHINGTON CITY, June 15.
Dispatches were received on Saturday morning from Mr. Monroe. Nothing official has transpired concerning their contents. It is reported from a respectable source, that they speak confidentially of war between France and England. The profound silence which is observed concerning our own affairs, and the situation of Louisiana, is rather inauspicious. When we consider the readiness with which the government, exult in every favorable breeze, with what eagerness they mention any little court compliment, we may draw a very strong inference of unfavorable news from their silence.
How late is it since the Spanish minister's letter was triumphantly published, as a proof of the wisdom and foresight of our government. That letter was to heal all differences, to end all disputes, and seemed purposely framed to compliment the penetration of our Chief magistrate. Dispatches have since arrived at New Orleans direct from Spain, and the port still continues shut. Some other bubble will soon be raised for the people to gaze and wonder at, until at length we are bubbled out of our rights and independence.
MARTINSBURG, June 17.
It has been frequently said in this paper, and has become a subject of conversation, that federalism is gaining rapidly in Virginia. Four members have been elected from this state to the next congress. Though it is a self-evident fact, yet many excuses and objections are made. Of these I shall not take notice, but will state that those few which have been attended to will be very convincing when considered.
The district which borders immediately upon the seat of government, has for some time past been represented by Mr. Richard Brent, a gentleman of the best talents, and most acceptable manners.—He was a candidate. He was and is a Gallatinite. The people, having daily opportunities of obtaining information for themselves, have rejected the services of Mr. Brent, and have elected Mr. Joseph Lewis, a federalist.
The district next above, also bounding upon the Potomak, the people of which have daily communications with the seat of government, have elected Major Stephenson, who is also a federalist.
Those counties in the next district, which have communication with the last
mentioned district, gave their votes for Mr. Vanmette, another federalist. The more remote counties have voted for Mr. Holmes, who is elected.
Immediately beyond the Alleghany, the counties having connexion with the Potomak and bordering upon Maryland and Pennsylvania, were in favor of Mr. Wilson, who is also a federalist. The people of the more distant counties have adhered a little longer to the old insurrectionary tenets.
In the district lower down the Potomak though there was no opposition to the republican candidate, and although he is one of the most enlightened and best informed men of this country, yet there were a great many votes against him. The people upon the Eastern Shore have never acted otherwise than now. They have elected a federalist. It is to the honor of these industrious and well organized people that they were left to defend themselves during the revolutionary war, against privateers and pirates, and again, as in the last congress, to stand alone in support of rational principles of government.
Thus it seems that upon the whole northern and eastern frontier of the state, federalism prevails. It is gradually extending its influence, and advancing to the southward. All parties admit that the county of Fauquier is much inclined to oppose the present state of things, and that federalism has found its way into Culpepper. Stafford, which is the other county composing that district, has many federalists. The computation is 2-5ths.
The western district, including Greenbrier and Kanawha, and taking a scope quite to the blue ridge, that is about 300 miles from east to west, has elected Major Thomas Lewis, in opposition to Mr. Andrew Moore. This district, it is supposed, was formed on purpose to suit Mr. Moore, though he lived at least 275 miles from some of the voters. The reason was obvious. Moore was a Jeffersonian. He had formerly practised the law in Greenbrier—had considerable personal popularity among the people—and it was expected that he could obtain many votes from that cause. This happened. Yet Moore lost the election. This may be considered as the greatest defeat which the party has sustained. It is true that they threaten to dispute the election, pretending that Lewis's majority of 175 proceeded from bad votes. They seem to have forgotten that at the same time when Mr. Moore is busy in invalidating the votes of Lewis, that Lewis may be as successful in destroying an equal number of his adversary's. So that there is every reason to expect that an effectual and successful opposition may be made at the next election in that district. Similar observations would hold good for other parts of the state. Time will shew the truth. Enough has been said—enough is known to shew, that federalism is gaining ground in this state—and enough is known to authorise a prediction, that the seeds for a general reformation are scattered abroad—that they have taken root—and that nothing is necessary but good cultivation.

On Saturday last Col. John Taylor, of Caroline, was unanimously chosen by the Executive Council of Virginia, to supply the vacancy of a Senator from that state, to the Senate of the United States, occasioned by the death of S. T. Mason.

There is, it is said, a letter by the Mary from Mr. Livingston, our Minister at Paris, as late as the 27th April, in which he gives it as his opinion, that a WAR will speedily take place.
[New-York Gaz.]
A letter received in Philadelphia from St. Domingo dated 11th May, says that a vessel had just arrived there from France, with assurances from the first consul that peace would certainly be continued in Europe.
It may be remarked among the singular occurrences of the times, that for several days last week, two or three stars were distinguished by the naked eye at noon day. We have seen it explained that stars may be observed in the day time, through the shaft of a deep well, or a rectilinear mine, where the rays of light are excluded—but to account for their being seen from the earth's surface, in the blaze of the meridian sun, is a desideratum in the science of visions, which some of our scientific readers may perhaps be able to explain.
(Kingston Royal Gazette.)
[From the United States Oracle.] Russel, the editor of the Concord Re-
publican, a true blue jacobin paper, has absconded. He was called on rather unexpectedly to pay a fine of 30l. and pass a few months in a Connecticut jail, to which he was sentenced for forging a few State certificates of that state.—Having undergone one part of his hard aristocratic sentence at the Whipping Post, and rather inclining to 'manage his own affairs in his own way unembarrassed by too much regulation,' he lifted jail and sought a refuge in this state. What part he has played here is very well known. The sheriff after apprehending him imprudently took bail for forty eight hours—Russel absconded, and his bondsmen were left to suffer for their credulity. Thus is terminated the political career of a man sought out and supported by our democrats for the lofty purpose of revolutionizing New-Hampshire.
Quere. Should justice be executed upon all those who have been detected in felonies, such as house breaking, letter stealing, &c. how many would remain of our democratic able editors.
The following valuable receipt is literally copied from a London paper:
"Take the branch of a vine and turn it down into the earth, let the mould cover it perfectly and the next year it will produce Cucumbers in constant succession." There is so much of the Blague in this that it reminds us of the advertisement of an Irish Gardiner who advertised Cabbage Seed for sale that would produce Journeyman Taylors.
From the RECORDER.
All the world remembers the story of the pasteboard tender in payment of a sum of money, which Thomas Jefferson made to Gabriel Jones. The old gentleman having seen the Recorder, determined to give our narrative the seal of his authority. He has transmitted a manuscript to Richmond, which appeared in the Virginia Gazette of Tuesday. He therein explains all the circumstances of avarice, of ingratitude, and baseness, which, in the course of this transaction, distinguished and disgraced the character of Thomas Jefferson. We had, not long since, challenged and defied his excellency, to meet us on this charge in a court of justice, and in a suit for defamation. The certificate of the honest Welshman, who is now eighty one years of age, will supersede all future occasion for language of this kind.—See now whether the Recorder tells lies.
Mr. Jefferson has lately found himself under the deplorable necessity of writing a fresh letter to Mr. Walker, with another peccavimus . This is in consequence of the racket, which the Recorder has raised about the affair. What would this unfortunate figure give to recall the moment, when he refused to pay Callender his fine? Chastisement was promised; and the promise has been kept with the most rigid punctuality. It seems that Gen. Henry Lee was the bearer of a challenge from Mr. Walker to our beloved President. For very good reasons, the publication of the documents has for some time been suspended; but they will appear in due time; and if we shall hear of any more chirruping about Black Sally , we shall bring down from Albemarle, a whole pamphlet of depositions.
Such, O Democrats! is the faithful portrait of your favourite Hero!!!

A Reflection at Sea.
SEE how, beneath the moon's beam's smile, Yon little billow heaves its breast, And foams and sparkles for a while, And mur'm'ring then subsides to rest!
Thus man! the sport of bliss and care, Rises on Time's eventful sea, And, having swell'd a moment there, Thus melts into Eternity!
THE NEIGHBOR.
"He promoteth in his neighborhood peace and good will, and his name is repeated with praise and benediction."
NEXT to peace and satisfaction in our own breasts, is peace and satisfaction in our families: and next to this, is the comfort of a peaceable and obliging neighborhood. The pleasing exercise of the social affections is pleasure indeed. But solitude is preferable to the society of those who are unbenevolent and unfriendly. Solitude indeed is not agreeable to man, and not promotive of happiness—but society made up of the selfish, the envious, the implacable and malicious is productive of real misery. We pity the indigent family, that removes into the wilderness to seek a scanty, precarious subsistence, far from sympathizing friends and helping neighbors. But is not that poor and honest family in a deplorable situation, which, though they live in a thick neighborhood, meets notwithstanding with insults, injuries and abuses, instead of friendly assistance and kind condolence?
Mankind are mutually dependent on each other. No one is sufficient of himself to build up his own interest or happiness, unaided and unsupported by his fellow citizens. Any individual left wholly to himself, unconnected with others, must be considered as a forlorn individual. There is no family, much less a single person, however, well provided, but at some time or other, and perhaps very often, stands in need of the aid, the advice, the sympathy, or the presence or conversation of others. All are imperfect—all are liable to sickness, pain, misfortunes, and bereavement.—None therefore should be unwilling to impart their neighborly assistance whenever it is wanted. Nothing contributes more to help us up the hills of difficulty, over the rugged paths of disappointment and perplexity, and through the slough of discouragement—to lighten the loads that we sometimes stagger under, and to carry us the more easily along the journey of life, than the kind attention, the soothing words, and the ready assistance of our friends and neighbors. And scarce any seeds of evil are more prolific of those bitter fruits which poison the enjoyments of life, or actually kill them, or prevent their growth, than bad neighbors. Let a man be prosperous in his worldly affairs, and surrounded with an agreeable family; yet if those among whom he lives are envious and ill-natured, and instead of befriending, are disposed to vex and injure him, his happiness must be greatly diminished.
The duties and comforts of a good neighborhood, consists in the suppression of the selfish, the irascible, and the malevolent passions, and in the cultivation and exercise of those that are generous and friendly. He that is attentive only to his own concerns and interest, and cares not what becomes of others—he that is easily provoked, and ready to resent—he that is envious at the prosperity of others, or wishes their hurt, or is glad at their calamity—cannot be a good neighbor. He only is deserving the character, who is kind and obliging—who is willing to do a good turn, as well as to receive one—willing to lend, as well as to borrow—who is tender of the character and interest of those among whom he lives—who, being a fallible creature himself, is disposed to make all reasonable allowances for the failings of others—in short, who is observant of the golden rule, to do to others as he would have others do to him.
The boatswain of a man of war, that had just been payed off, passing through Monmouth street with full pockets, and a prodigal heart, was so captivated with the richness and finery of a velvet suit, which was displayed at the door, that he immediately went in and bargained for it. Having tried it on, he was so well pleased with its appearance, that he was easily prevailed upon by the merchant to complete his dress with the necessary appendages—a bag wig, a sword, and a chapeau au bras. Thus equipped, his next care was where to exhibit himself.
The theatre readily occurred, whither he went, and placing himself in the front row of the side box, soon became attentive to the play. Notwithstanding his disguise, he was presently recognized by one of his ship mates, in the upper gallery, who pointing out to his comrade, asked him if that was not their boatswain, a question which the other answered in the negative, assuring him that it was "a lord, or some great gentleman."—"We'll soon settle it," said the first, for we'll hail him—"Ohoy, the boatswain of the Romney, Ohoy!" who, forgetting his situation, started from his seat, answering, "Holloa!" and was discovered.
