MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24.
DIED, at Charleston, on Saturday the 1st inst.
At Fishkill, Abraham Schenck,
A young French soldier of the department of the Meuse, formerly officer of the Health of the Marines, blew out his brains in the Inn at Dijon, on the 7th or September last.
The last accounts from India mention, that a flight of Locusts several miles in extent, and so thick as in their progress wholly to obscure the sun, had passed over Malda, Rajemeh, and Helebas, fortunately for the terrified inhabitants without dropping.
In England a mode has been discovered of manufacturing paper from Straw.
M. Achard, the Prussian chemist, has at length brought his discoveries, in the article of Sugar from vegetables, to such perfection that he is enabled to vend it at six sous the pound.
Mr. Woodhouse has returned from Paris, where the introduction of the Cow-pox did by no means meet the encouragement that it has had to this country, as it was impossible to surmount the prejudices of the people.
The Pope has found it necessary to re-trench greatly the usual establishment, and has fixed the expenses of his palace at 30,000 crowns a year, instead of 150,000, which they cost his predecessor.
RE-MANUFACTURE OF PAPER. A company has just been established in London, for the purpose of extracting every kind of ink, printed or written, from paper of every sort, and re-manufacturing it in the usual way.
Paper already printed on, is now regularly bought in at the rag-shops of foreign countries, to be re-manufactured by the paper makers.
The quantity of paper stuff may in another manner be increased. Instead of making tinder from rags, it might be made, as in France, from the agaric of the tree.
From the Lancaster Journal of Saturday morning.
In the course of the last two days we have been visited by several alarming Earthquakes.
From a late London paper. THE PHILANTHROPIST.—We have already mentioned that a singular man with a long beard travels about the country of England, selling wares, and distributing money among the poor.
The following is a very particular and curious account of him:— William Dakins is a resident of Cliff Regis, about six miles from Oundle, Northamptonshire; he is not more than forty-five years of age, though the coarse, dirty habit which he constantly wears, and the enormous length of his beard, which he suffers to grow, only now and then clipping it with scissors, giving him much older appearance.
Some time after he came home from Dr. Willis, he clothed himself in fackcloth, and attended at the parish church, for the purpose of receiving the sacrament: the officiating curate, however, refused him; upon which he made a vow that he would never enter it again; and, in order to have some place for public worship, he built a meeting house, and procured a preacher to officiate in it; but this only lasted a year, and is now unconsecrated and literally metamorphosed into a dovecote.
The occasion of his present perambulation is the death of his sister some months ago, leaving him a property of about 2000l. to be distributed to the poor. This sister, in order to keep his vow, he would not suffer to be buried by the clergyman, but interred her himself in his own meeting house; her death has much affected him, for he had persuaded himself that neither of them could die!
The following curious notice was lately fixed upon a church door in Ludford, Herefordshire in England, and read in church by the clerk, viz:— "This is to give notice, that no person is to be buried in this church yard, but what lives in this Parish; and those who wish to be buried here, are desired to apply to me.

In the second Southern district, the votes in eleven towns, are, for Mr. Mitchell 475.—Mr. Smith 272, and 397 scattering. There certainly has been no choice made; and we hope the federalists at the next poll will unite in Mr. Mitchell.

Charleston, Sept. 16, 1800. SIR, I HAVE the honour of transmitting herewith a Charleston gazette, containing a letter, copied from a newspaper of Baltimore, to which your signature is subscribed: conscious as I am that I never either directly or indirectly, by myself or by my friends, have been concerned in any British intrigue, or connected with British influence.
Knowing that my nomination to the English mission, was not only unsolicited, but was unknown to myself and my immediate friends, until announced to me officially by Mr. Jefferson, then Secretary of State: Believing as I do, that no improper influence preponderated in the mind of the officer by whom I was nominated, I take the liberty of making this appeal to your justice, requesting, if the letter which has been published as yours, be a forgery, that an immediate and explicit declaration of this fact may be promulgated: but if the contrary should be the case, I equally rely upon your justice to explain how far you consider my brother and myself to have been justly obnoxious to the suspicions which you appear to have entertained at the time the letter was written, together with the basis of such suspicion.
I have the honour to be, SIR, Your respectful, And most obedient servant, THOMAS PINCKNEY.

No. 1, of the PORT FOLIO will appear, on the first Saturday in January 1801.
TO THE PUBLIC.
SIX months have elapsed, since the present Editor of this Gazette, became its sole proprietor, by purchase, from Mr. Jno. W. Fenno. He therefore deems it proper, at this period, to state some particulars relative to it, as, and since the time when it became his establishment.
The Gazette of the United States, had from its commencement, been conducted, at different periods, by two gentlemen, of acknowledged talents and respectability, hence it merited and obtained countenance from a very numerous and respectable class of the community. It was, therefore, reasonably concluded; that on its becoming the property of another, who from several years absence from his native city, was recognized only by private friends, that a proportion of those who had previously honored it by their support, would withdraw their names. This was partially the case; but so far from realizing the fears entertained on this point, not one fourth of the number contemplated, have relinquished. This alone was a favourable omen, but it is infinitely more gratifying to observe, that, the numbers added to his subscription list, have exceeded his calculations two-fold.
In the Advertising department, many favours are acknowledged, but as on this particular, rests the ability to meet large, pecuniary, weekly disbursements, it is found requisite to solicit a more liberal support.
This paper, exclusive of the number circulated in this City, is read in every town, of any importance, in the United States, and in the advertising line, will be found highly beneficial to the Mercantile part of the Community.
It will be deemed superfluous, at this time, to enter into a detail of the political principles of the Editor, the motives which actuate him, and his general plan of editing. They are now universally known, and it is highly pleasing to find, that they are generally approved of, by a respectable portion of the community, who have fancioned, that approbation with their names and purses.
It may be observed by some honest, worthy men, that the style of the Gazette is sometimes violent, and that private persons, are at those times attacked. To the charge of violence he objects, that of warmth is cheerfully admitted; and he will here observe, that advocating truth, and the dearest interests of his country, he feels a zeal, which he thinks, and they on reflexion must admit, is laudable. Those who object to his giving full scope to his feelings on this subject, will do well to consider, that he has to contend with an unprincipled, daring, and aspiring faction; who threaten every thing virtuous, with total subversion, whose only arguments are falsehood and calumny.
Private characters are held sacred, generally speaking, but when turbulent aliens and naturalized citizens, become bawlers at Town Meetings, and write Libel after Libel on the first characters in our country; when they fashion with their dented names, the most glaring falsehoods and the vilest detraction, amid such an uproar, silence would be criminal. Such men and those only has the Editor dragged before the American people; he has opposed them, and will continue to oppose them, and from the strongest ties of attachment to America, he will unceasingly combat with all the means in his power, the insidious and inveterate foes to this country whether foreign or domestic, under whatever specious garb they may please to assume.
I have observed that you have published my first letter to you, on the subject of the present dispute in the Assembly. Indulge me if you please; in a few observations, and then I shall have done with the subject.
The spirit of Jacobinism rages with inexhaustible fury through our unhappy state—here is its central point; and here its numerous branches meet with united force and energy—error is the food upon which it feeds—but intentional wrong is a powerful auxiliary; the first enraptures the deluded mob—the latter is the ground work of needy but cunning hypocrites; A stop must be put to its progress; or else our State, perhaps our Country may fall a victim to its fury. Recollect Sir, its history in England; the House of Lords made a struggle to check its career, and maintain the Constitution; and the House of Lords was voted by the Commons a useless and expensive branch of the Legislature—the vote was carried into full operation; this is an instructive, and momentous lesson for the people of America; for men of property who have every thing to lose by a revolution, and for the Senate in particular.
But I will Sir again attempt by plain and honest argument to open the eyes of my blinded countrymen.
We are told by those daring Jacobins, that the Senate would rob us of our Right to an election, by refusing to concur in a joint vote; this vote we are told is the only legal one. When the people believe they have been cheated of their rights, by one branch of the Legislature, and that branch the Aristocratic one too—it is an easy transition for them to believe, that this branch is useless, tyrannic and expensive—to deplore an event is not an impossible, or even an improbable one. If it occurs, it will reduce our Legislature to one house, and that house be Governed by men who have thus inflamed the public mind; the greatest possible excesses of Jacobinism may then reasonably be expected.
I have in a former letter observed to you Sir, that two branches in the Legislature were thought necessary to check the hasty and factious proceedings, which would probably result from only one house—if this mutual controul is believed essential on trifling subjects; if in the passing a bill to build a bridge, open a road, or grant relief to a petitioner, a check is deemed necessary for the security of our liberty and property—should it not, in the all important, and very serious political question of choosing Electors for a President and Vice President of the Union, be thought indispensably necessary? Are the great national consequences arising from this election, securely lodged in the hands of one house of the Legislature, while we are tender of our rights and privileges on the local and inferior considerations of opening a canal; dividing a county, or fixing the seat of Government?
This bold inroad on our freedom now attempted by the House of Representatives should swallow up in the contemplation of it every lesser grievance; it is striking at the root of our government; at the principles upon which it stands; and it should be met with firmness and opposed with the courage which accompanies a struggle for expiring liberty.
The lower House accuses the Senate with withholding from the people their right to an election by not concurring in their mode; cannot the Senate with equal justice recriminate upon the Representatives for not concurring with them? it is by well grounded charges like these, that the people are deceived into rebellion—into treason—look to the lower house; for it needs a vigilant eye; it is a wolf in sheeps clothing.
A CITIZEN.
MR. WAYNE,
General Hamilton has written a book, the object of which is, to deprive Mr. Adams of the Presidents chair. I have long entertained the highest opinion of Mr. Hamilton's talents and patriotism; but in this instance, am inclined to believe, he has overhot his mark. The undertaking discovers a degree of vanity, and the performance too much personal feeling, to persuade any one, that the design is solely public good.
We have great reason to conclude, that it would give general satisfaction to the real friends of our constitution and government, if all the federal electors would vote steadily for Adams and Pinckney; as in that case, it is believed, we would have one honest men to direct the affairs of the Union—Both good christians, and I was going to say therefore, found federalists; one of them at least, a military character, in case such talents should be found necessary.

In debate on the bill as amended by the Senate, the Honourable Gentleman thus logically argued, "for by this proposition" says he, the proposition of the Senate, "there is intended to be a distribution of 7 votes on each side, so that the actual vote of Pennsylvania the second in the Union would be only one, while Delaware, the smallest State, would have three!" Wonderful discovery, sagacious Legislator; seven and eight make one!!!
Pray Mr. Boileau, when his excellency had 3,500 votes, and James Rofs 3000 what was the "actual vote;" do inform us, thou sage arithmetician, thou Cocker among the Jacobins.
Private letters from New-Hampshire, state, that "it is ascertained, almost to a certainty that the election of General L. R. MORRIS, at the second trial is sure."
The anguish of the Jacobins at the present hour of their bitter disappointment, is almost indescribable. Their awkward efforts to conceal the greatness of their political misery, and their lying statements, respecting the imaginary strength of their cause, equally betray the declining state of the party. Every Jacobinical movement is now like the spasmodic twitchings of a convulsed wretch in his last agonies.
Europeans must be excessively diverted at the circumstance in the history of our Cis-Atlantic Gentlemen, which could give occasion for the following earnest and imploring request, from the Managers of the Theatre in the CAPITAL OF THE UNITED STATES. In every play bill, now issued, Messrs. Wignell & Reinagle respectfully "request Gentlemen not to smoke any segars within the walls of the Theatre." One of the Empresses of Russia, in a Gothic assembly room, ordered a paper to be affixed, in which, it was hoped, that "no Lady would get drunk with Brandy, after 11 o'clock."
Several valuable communications we are compelled to postpone.
To-Morrow's Mail, will probably furnish us with the result of the election in Rhode-Island. The poor Jaco's may prepare for mourning—twill convey melancholy tidings to them.
[The following remarks, on the letter of Thomas Cooper, are copied from the New York Gazette.]
The writer of this extraordinary letter is an Englishman who about seven years since emigrated from Great Britain in disgust. A malcontent with the government of his native country, he had scarcely arrived in the United States when he joined the party in opposition to the Government of his adopted country; and he has recently made himself conspicuous by a libel on the President, of which he was convicted and for which (as we learn from himself) he has suffered the punishment of fine and imprisonment.
Thus situated, in a matter which immediately relates to the person who presides at the head of our government, one in which Mr. Cooper has no personal concern whatever, he comes forward to talk from a Citizen, whom he considers as the chief of one of the two great political parties of our country, information upon which he avows the intention of instituting a criminal prosecution against that Citizen.
The true character of this matchless attempt speaks for itself. As it regards the spirit and motives of the writer, it shall pass without a remark.
But there is one point of view in which it claims the serious attention of all candid men. It discloses an important fact which will serve as a key to the rancorous, mean and despicable accusations incessantly poured out against the Citizen to whom the letter is addressed.
Mr. Cooper who is known to be in the confidential intimacy of the Anti-Federal leaders of Pennsylvania informs us in plain terms, that Mr. Hamilton is regarded as the head of the Federal party; that his energy and talents have rendered him a conspicuous object of praise and blame; and in this capacity of head of the federal party, he threatens to retaliate upon him, for the punishment which he has suffered under a law passed through the influence of that party; a law in which it is certain that Mr. Hamilton had no direct and very possible that he had no indirect agency.
This is an epitome of the Anti-Federal creed and temper with respect to Mr. Hamilton.
As the supposed efficient head of the Federal party; as the man "whose energy and talents" are deemed a principle obstacle to the success of the opposite party, he is doomed to ruin and disgrace at all events and by all the means which can be employed with safety; in shameless defiance of truth, candor and decency.
The zeal with which some Anti-Federal writers in newspapers and in pamphlets have espoused the cause of Mr. Adams against Mr. Hamilton is an additional elucidation of the disposition of the party. When they view Mr. Adams individually, there are no terms of reprobation too severe for him. Contrasted with Mr. Hamilton he becomes an angel while the latter is a fiend. Why this, but because Mr. Adams is regarded as a less formidable opponent than Mr. Hamilton?
The Federal cause is certainly much indebted to those Federalists who for years past have been so fondly, and who now openly unite with the Anti-Federalists in subverting the character of Mr. Hamilton. Surely it was a common concern to keep down this aspiring man? Who could foresee how soon a towering exotic, who already has attained to great a height in the estimation of foes as well as friends, might attempt to climb to stations which ought to be reserved for the exclusive sages and patriots of our own soil.
AMICUS.
[He, "whose blood is very snowbroth," or whose temper is "humorous as winter" will melt with compassion in perusing the following pathetic narrative from a London Paper. While human passions remain their violence the offences of Love "must come" but "woe to that" perjured "man by whom they come" who neglects the victim of his artifice and the unhappy vassal of his desires.]
Wednesday, about twelve o'clock a very melancholy and effecting event took place at Union Hall in the borough of Southwark. —One of the keepers, on opening a small separate cell, at the back of the court, in size, appearance, and accomodation, very much resembling a hen house, found a young woman, who had been committed the preceding night, on a charge of riotous and tumultuous behaviour, apparently dead. The place receives a gloomy light through an aperture at the end, about four feet from the ground secured with iron bars, to one end of which she had fastened the miserable remains of an old white hankerchief, and in this position endeavoured to strangle herself. From the situation, she had evidently in her power to relieve herself, while sense of strength remained; but so great were her resolution and despair, that through this tedious process of horrible torture, she never shrunk from her purpose, for, on discovery, she seemed quite dead. The keeper immediately disengaged her from the hankerchief, and seated her on a bench in the cell, with her back supported against the wall, and in this deplorable situation she was exhibited to all the people of the place, whom curiosity drew to the scene. She appeared to be about 30 years of age, neatly made and handsome.
She had neither shoes nor stockings. Her tattered dress bespoke the extreme of poverty, and her bosom being uncovered, the bloody circle round her neck shewed the great violence which she had exercised against her life. But the fairness of her skin, and the delicacy of her limbs, so strongly contrasted with her dress, bespoke her wretched remnant of something that had seen better days, and possessed those comforts of which not a wreck remained behind. This impression produced its effect. The servants of the place seemed to feel an interest in her fate, that would do credit to many who move in spheres where we might more naturally look for sensibility. A surgeon was instantly sent for, and every other assistance and attention afforded. The return of life began in a little while to shew itself in violent spasms and trembling. The surgeon then came and breathed a vein in her temple, from which she bled profusely. The effect of this operation was astonishing. In a few minutes, not only life, but intellect, had completely resumed their seat, and she was able to tell her story calmly, collectedly, and almost without faulting. She stated herself, a widow, her husband having died about ten years ago, leaving her unprovided for, with one child now living. That shortly after she formed a connection with Mr. H——, a young man, now the first clerk at a bankers, by whom she had several children, all now dead. At length, however, cold indifference came, and he broke off all intimacy with her, continuing, notwithstanding, for some time to afford her a scanty support, but even of this he soon grew tired, while her necessities every hour became more pressing.
Under the severe pressure of hunger and nakedness, she went the night before to his door to solicit a few halfpence. Her demand was not attended to—she became importunate, and for this crime she was taken into custody?—This is the substance of a story, which she told with consistency and simplicity. She often repeated the saw nothing but misery before her; and while she seemed to entertain a grateful sense of attention shown her, lamented that it had proved successful. She had nothing of the appearance of those ladies who are downright monopolizers in love, or can console themselves so easily for the loss of one lover in the arms of another. In justice to the sensibility of her prosecutor, we must also observe, that he did not attend to substantiate his charge. The unfortunate woman was ordered to be sent to the workhouse when fit to be removed.

An Address to the Tooth Ache.
(From vol. 4 of Burn's Poems.) My curse upon your venom'd slangs, That shoots my tortur'd gums along, And thro' my lugs gives mony a twang, Wi' gnawing vengeance; Tearing my nerves wi' bitter pang, Like racking engines. When fevers burn, or ague freezes, Rheumatics gnaw, or cholie squeezes, Our neighbour's sympathy may ease us, Wi' pitying moan; But thee—thou hell! all diseases, Ay mocks our groan! Adown my beard the slavers trickle! I throw the wee stools o'er the mickle, As round the fire the giglets keckle, To fee me loup; While raving mad, I with a heckle Were in their doup. Of a' the monstrous human dools, Ill hearts, dast bargains, cutty tools, Or worthy friends rak'd in the mools, Sad light to fee! The tricks o' kuaves, or saft o' fools, Thou bear'st the gree. Where'er that place be priests ca' hell, Whence all the tones of miltry yell, And ranked plaques their numbers tell, In dreadfu' row, Thou, TOOTH ACHE, surely bear'st the bell, Among them a'! O, thou grim, mischief making chief, That jars the notes of disford liquef, Till dast mankind aft dance and reel In gae a shoe thick:— Gie a' the faes of Scotland's weal A townmond's tooth ache!
