FARMERS ATTEND.
MANY of you having very frequently applied to the subscriber (he being in the habit of trading to the Northward) to bring a covering horse of the Eusopus breed, which you so much (and not without just cause) admire, he therefore being induced from interest, as well as having a natural disposition to accommodate, has procured one of that stock, which he flatters himself will please.
This noble Horse, called EUSOPUS BALL,
Will stand the ensuing season at the subscriber's stable in Martinsburg, at the moderate price of three dollars and a bushel of oats the season, the oats to be brought with the mare, five dollars for insurance, and one dollar cash the single leap. The season to begin the first day of April and end the middle of July. Credit will be given for the money until the 1st of April 1805.
Eusopus Ball is a handsome dark bay, ten years old this spring, he is sixteen and an half hands high, with bone and body in proportion, and is as well calculated for the draft as any horse in the state of Virginia. The public will please to excuse me for omitting his pedigree, as I conceive it unnecessary, relying on their sufficient knowledge and acquaintance with the breed and services of those valuable kind of horses—without this, his form alone, will be sufficient to recommend him.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By an arrival at Boston we are in possession of English dates to the SIXTH OF FEBRUARY , which contain the following articles:
Boston, March 8.
By an arrival from Liverpool yesterday, papers to the 6th of February were received.—Through the politeness of a gentleman, we saw some of the latest, but observed nothing very interesting in them.
STILL LATER.
It was said last evening that the Packet, capt. Trott, in the short passage of 23 days from Liverpool, was coming up.
London Jan. 30.
We are happy to say, that the king is perfectly recovered. On Saturday morning his majesty took an exercise of riding on horseback in the ridinghouse. The Duke of York afterwards had an audience of his majesty.
We have this morning received accounts from off the Texel, dated so late as the 25th instant, by which we learn that the Dutch have now in that port four sail of the line, in every respect ready for sea, and upwards of fifty transports, that were taking in their water. No doubt is entertained of the pushing out when an opportunity offers. A flag of truce came out on the 25th, with a letter of thanks from Admiral De Winter to Admiral Thornborough, for his attention to some Dutch pilots.
We are sorry to have to announce, that another storm, equal in fury to any that preceded it, took place last Friday night, and continued the whole of Saturday. Cornwallis was left on Friday morning off the Start, shaping his course for Ushant, to resume the blockade off Brest; but the storm at night forced him to abandon his intention.
Dispatches, supposed to be of importance, were yesterday received at the Admiralty. In the course of the day an express was sent off to Plymouth, to be forwarded by a fast-sailing cutter to Admiral Cornwallis.
The neutrality of Spain is still talked of, notwithstanding her active equipments and preparations; and the happiness of Switzerland is boasted of, notwithstanding the emigrations that are taking place daily from that interesting country.
Letters were received on Saturday, by a cartel from Morlaix, dated the 25th instant. They mention that the preparations for invasion were carried on with great vigor.
BOSTON March 7.
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar Bay, Jan. 10 to a gentleman in this town.
"You have undoubtedly heard of the loss of the Philadelphia. She struck on a rock, while in chase of a Tripolitan cruiser, off Tripoli, and after four hours resistance, to no purpose, was obliged to strike to the gun-boats. She has since been got off, and carried into port. Her officers and crew are all prisoners, if not slaves. The officers are said to be treated with humanity, but it is said the crew were stript immediately on their landing, even to a single shirt, and that they are on very short allowance. This most unfortunate occurrence, I expect, has intirely deranged the Commodore's plans."
In confirmation of the above accounts we are informed by Capt. Williams, of the brig Augusta, who arrived at Gloucester on Tuesday 1st, in 32 days from Cadiz, that Commodore Preble had despatched an official account of the loss of the Philadelphia, by Capt. Lombard, who sailed for Boston some time before the Augusta.
PHILADELPHIA, March 15.
The ship Packet, captain Trott, has arrived at Boston, in 19 days from Liverpool, bringing London dates to the 13th of February. Nothing of moment had occurred: It was said an embargo was laid in several of the ports of France, of which Bordeaux is one. This had induced a belief that the invasion, if ever seriously meditated was on the eve of being attempted.
We are sorry to add that this vessel brings a confirmation of the capture of the Philadelphia frigate. She was in pursuit of a corsair, and in attempting to cut her off from the coast, unfortunately ran ashore: she was immediately assailed by a multitude of boats, and was under the necessity of surrendering. It does not appear that any lives were lost on this occasion. The crew amounting to upwards of 300, were made prisoners, and sent to Tripoli.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lisbon dated January 16, 1804.
"You have doubtless heard the news that arrived here yesterday, of the loss of the frigate Philadelphia, which ran ashore near Tripoli, and was taken by a number of galleys of that nation. The ship was got off, and with the crew arrived at Tripoli. We have not heard the particulars."
RICHMOND, March 10.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Washington, to his friend in this city, dated March 5.
"The Devil and all is to pay in Louisiana. Laussat has been stealing the hearts of all the people there from their new masters; and the speculators are stealing all our lands. Our Government has ordered the marine corps to go there immediately."
"The committee of elections have reported against Tom Lewis's election, and I am afraid the house will concur with the report. It is at this moment the subject of debate."
ALEXANDRIA, March 13.
Yesterday the Senate of the United States, in their capacity of a High Court of Impeachments, found John Pickering guilty of the charges exhibited against him by the House of Representatives, and, resolved, that he be dismissed from office.
The House of Representatives yesterday took up the report of the committee, appointed to enquire into the official conduct of Samuel Chase, Esq. no decision was had thereon last night.
CONGRESS of the U. STATES.
COURT OF IMPEACHMENTS.
March 12.
JUDGE CHASE IMPEACHED.
The House went into a committee of the whole; Mr. Varnum in the chair; on the following report:
The committee REPORT—
That in consequence of the evidence collected by them, in virtue of the powers with which they have been invested by the House, and which is hereunto subjoined, they are of opinion,
1. That Samuel Chase, esquire, one of the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors. 2. That Richard Peters, district judge of the district of Pennsylvania, hath not so acted as to require the interposition of the constitutional power of this House.
On reading the first resolution of the impeachment of Samuel Chase.
Mr. Elliott spoke at considerable length; went fully into a view of the testimony contained in the report of the committee; and concluded with expressing the opinion that judge Chase had not rendered himself liable to impeachment in any case stated therein, but that of the trial of Callender. From the dispassionate and deliberate consideration of Mr. Chase's conduct on this occasion, though not prepared to ascribe to him corrupt motives, or to view him guilty of high crimes, he considered him as guilty of misdemeanors for which he was impeachable. On this ground therefore, he would vote for the report.
The question was then taken on agreeing to the first resolution and carried—Ayes 74.
The committee then agreed, without a division, to the second resolution relating to Richard Peters.
The committee rose and reported their agreement to the report of the select committee.
The House immediately took the report into consideration.
The first resolution respecting Mr. Chase having been read.
Mr. R. Griswold observed that in the select committee appointed to enquire into the official conduct of Samuel Chase there had been no discussion, and no points settled, except those contained in the resolution. No part of the documents, contained in the report, had been taken up and discussed. I would say Mr. G. myself have undertaken on this occasion to enter minutely into the testimony, were I not of opinion that the sentiments of the House are already formed. I have examined the depositions critically, and I am ready to say that they constitute no grounds of impeachment. But I have been lamentably convinced, by a mournful experience, that nothing which can be said in the case of impeachments will have any effect on this House. I shall therefore say nothing on this resolution at this time; but shall content myself with calling for the yeas and nays.
Mr. J. Randolph. Like the gentleman from Connecticut, it is no part of my intention to enter into a consideration of the report of the committee appointed to enquire into the official conduct of Mr. Chase and Mr. Peters. On this occasion, as on another, in which I had the honor of being one of those to whom was confided the management of an impeachment, I am willing to rest the decision which I shall give on the testimony before the House. But I think the observations which have fallen from the gentleman from Connecticut require, in justice to himself (for he was a member of the committee appointed on this occasion,) and as an act of justice to that committee some remarks in reply. For what purpose he has made these observations I shall not undertake to determine. From them it would appear as if a discussion had been particularly invited. The committee consisted of seven members. On the motion of different members, sometimes in consequence of personal application, at other times by letters addressed to the committee, testimony was ordered to be taken. A day was then appointed for the meeting of the committee; they did meet. At the time appointed for the meeting some gentlemen of the committee were engaged in the character of managers of an impeachment before the Senate—the gentleman from Connecticut and the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Huger) also a member of the committee, waited in the library until the other members thus engaged should be in readiness.
As soon as they were ready to meet a message was sent to the library for the two gentlemen. Before this it had been intimated to the managers that the house wanted a quorum. We therefore, despatched a message into the house for the two gentlemen. We received no answer. The committee decided the conduct of Mr. Chase impeachable, in relation to the trial of Fries, and the conduct of Mr. Peters not impeachable. In consequence of this decision, five members being present, the chairman was directed to draft the report. The report, however, not being presented, owing to the adjournment of the house, and the committee being unwilling to submit it before it had been considered by all the members of the committee it was again submitted to the committee, who were summoned for that purpose the next morning; when it was considered and agreed to in the presence of the members previously absent.
Mr. R. concluded by expressing his regret at having troubled the house with so dry a detail; and said he had made it to shew, that if there had been no discussion, it was because there was no disposition on either side to provoke it.
Mr. Huger. It was my wish and determination to have avoided saying anything on the present question, and to have contented myself with giving a silent vote—nor should I now have risen but for the allusions, which have been made by the gentleman from Connecticut and from Virginia, to what took place in the committee of investigation—The statements given by both these gentlemen as far as they go are correct, but I must beg leave to add one or two additional observations on the subject.
The committee had been duly summoned to meet on the morning of the day preceding that on which the report now under consideration, was presented to this house—Both the member from Connecticut and myself accordingly attended at, or about the usual hour of attendance; but on going to the room, in which we had always met, we found it occupied by the committee, who had been appointed to impeach Judge Pickering. Most, I believe indeed, all the gentlemen, except the member from Connecticut and myself, who composed the committee of investigation, were likewise members of this committee, and as they had already met on other business, we of course retired. On my return to the house, I met the honorable chairman at the door, who expressed a wish that our committee should forthwith meet; but on my observing, that most of the members of it were on the committee of impeachment in the case of Judge Pickering, which was then assembled, he proceeded to join them—intimating, if I did not mistake him, as he left me, that he would send me word should our committee meet. I received no message, however, nor heard anything further on the subject until a few minutes before the house adjourned, when to my astonishment the gentleman from Connecticut informed me that he had been told the committee had met during our absence, and come to the determination of reporting to the house a resolution recommending the impeachment of Judge Chase.
The gentleman from Virginia, however, has informed the house that before the committee proceeded to business, one or two messengers had been sent to summon both my friend from Connecticut and myself, and he had before given me the same information in private. And most certainly, Sir, I have not the smallest doubt but that this was done—for the assertion of any fact, made by the gentleman from Virginia, will ever receive from me the most ready and implicit belief. It nevertheless, so happened, that neither the member from Connecticut nor myself received the summons, or attended the committee, in which it was determined during our absence, that a report should be drawn up and made to the House, recommending the impeachment of judge Chase. This circumstance did, I confess surprise me in the first instant, and until the matter was explained to me. I still regret it; for we never had any previous discussion in the committee, on the merits of the various charges exhibited against the judge, and I certainly did expect, that each particular case would have been thoroughly sifted and canvassed in the select committee, and a separate and distinct vote taken on each of them before any report was made.
Under this impression I had intended, to have objected had I been present to the committee's coming to any final decision until we had received the deposition of Mr. Robertson from Petersburg; and I had also, (as I observed to the committee on the following morning) intended to have requested, that the depositions of Mr. Edmund Randolph late attorney general of the United States, and some other gentlemen, (whom I had just learned were present at the trial of Callender) might be taken, for as the only depositions before us in this case were those of the parties immediately and individually concerned, and who were not merely the political opponents of judge Chase, but personally interested; as to the propriety of their own conduct in the trial was involved in the question at issue between them and the judge, I had not wished to make up my mind or give a final vote on a case in which there was evidently no other than perfectly ex parte evidence before us. The committee however having as has been stated, met during our absence and decided in favor of an impeachment, was virtually precluded from making the propositions I had intended.
It is true Mr. Speaker, and the gentleman from Virginia is perfectly correct in stating "that the whole of the committee met the next day, and the report, as it now stands, was submitted to our final decision, when every individual member was present. He was equally correct in the observation, that the report was open to the objections, which might be offered from any quarter.
But, after five out of seven members had already on the preceding day decided in favor of the principle it contained, I certainly, sir, had not the vanity to suppose, that any thing I could say, would effect a change of opinion; and I conceived, that after what had passed, it would be regarded as mere caviil on my part, and only done from a wish to embarrass and create unnecessary delay, to propose, when the question of impeachment was already acted and decided upon, that we should wait for further testimony. I therefore acquiesced, and, (after having expressed, as above stated, what I should have wished to have been done; and had intended to propose, had I been present in the committee the preceding day) I deemed it my duty, (as believing the evidence in question before us, to be entirely ex parte) to give it in the select committee, as I shall again do on the present occasion, my decided negative to that part of the report, which includes the resolution for impeaching judge Chase.
The question was then taken by Yeas and Nays, on concurring in the report of the committee, agreeing to the first resolution and carried—Yeas 73, nays 32.
The report of the committee, in relation to the second resolution, was agreed to unanimously.
Mr. J. Randolph moved that a committee be appointed to appear at the bar of the Senate, to impeach, in the name of the House of Representatives, Samuel Chase of high crimes and misdemeanors.
The motion was adopted, and Messrs. J. Randolph and Early appointed the committee.
March 13.
A message was received from the Senate, stating their agreement to the resolution of the House for an adjournment of congress, with an amendment extending the period of adjournment to

Monday the 26th instant. The House concurred in the amendment.
The House went into a committee of the whole; Mr. Varnum in the chair—on the bill for opening several new land offices in the Indiana territory. Several amendments were made, when the committee reported the bill.
The House after considering the amendments ordered the bill to a third reading.
Mr. Randolph from the committee appointed to perform that service reported that they had appeared at the bar of the Senate, and had in the name of the House impeached Samuel Chase of high crimes and misdemeanors.
On motion of Mr. Randolph a committee of five was appointed to frame articles of impeachment, with power to send for persons and papers.
Ordered, that the committee who made the report bring in a bill.
MARTINSBURG, March 23.
The state of Rhode-Island has adopted the proposed alteration of the constitution of the United States. Upon this the Repository remarks, that when we recollect with what reluctance our little Sister embraced the federal constitution, it is not surprising that she should be the most eager to tear it to pieces.
Who are the true friends, and who the real enemies of the union of the States?—This is a question of the utmost importance—it is interesting to every man, who feels any relation to our political concerns—it is now in agitation before the public, and, would to God, it were canvassed with that respect to reason and truth which its consequences requires. In a community which has gloried in its privileges of obtaining knowledge, which has pretended to value those privileges, and to have improved them with solicitude, shall the shallow rant of a treacherous demagogue, of the low wit of an abandoned time server divest the attention of men, who would be called enlightened, from the path of honest inquiry? If there be within our government a set of disorganizers, enemies to our peace, foes to our Union and revolutionists in principles, which we seriously believe there are, it is highly expedient that they be known, characterized and detested; let it be investigated who constitutes this combination. The decision need not be suspended for want of evidence, and we wish for nothing so sincerely as a just and sober examination.
The object of associating in civil society is mutual protection and benefit. It is with this view that the individuals of a community form a social compact, thereby securing the power of the whole society to protect the rights of each member.—With this design were formed the several state governments of America, and as it respects domestic concerns, they were fully adequate to the purpose intended. After these were established, their local proximity, and the additional strength they might acquire, by combination prompted to a national Union. Thus, individuals adopted State Governments for the security of individuals; and on the same principle, the several states formed a higher association, to increase their respective security,—having and claiming as far as was practicable, the same relation to the general Union, that the individual possesses with regard to his State.
Hence we find, that to consult the interests of the respective States is the duty of the national government; it was the grand objects in their coalescence, and when it ceases to be regarded, the purpose of combination is defeated, its utility vanishes and the condition on which it subsists is violated.
Should any of these principles be denied, we are ready to support them; but while the language used at the time of our adopting the federal constitution is read & remembered, while the particular organization of the upper branch of the National Legislature is contemplated, and while the Sovereignty of the several States is acknowledged, it is expected they will be admitted by the candid.
Now compare these principles with the conduct and doctrines of the parties at
* It is true that in our federal government, there exist many relations between it and individuals—These however, were permitted by the States. It is likewise true that each Commonwealth composing the Union has not an equal influence in the confederacy—this resulted from the ambition of the more populous States; it was one of the compromissal arrangements which took place between the great and small States.
variance, and let us see who merit the stigma of disorganizers and antifederalists; who are labouring for a DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION. Those, certainly, are the enemies to our political integrity who would have the government administered on different principles from those on which it was established—Those favour a secession of certain States from the Union, who would deprive them of the advantages which they derive, or ought to derive, from the Federal Government.
Has the conduct of the present administration been directed by a reference to the general good, or with a view to favour the interests of a party? We take as answer, the declaration of a member of Congress, a supporter of the administration, who boldly asserted that party considerations did and ought to govern them.
Has not the influence of the small States been prostrated before that of the large? We have noticed with regret, opinions advanced in Congress, maintaining, that whatever might be the will of a majority of States, the will of a majority of citizens of the United States ought to predominate.
Has the present administration endeavoured to preserve that balance of influence between the extremes of the Union, which is essential to their tranquility and independence? We see the influence of New England humbled in the dust. Her voice is no longer heard—New laws are made, by which thousands of foreigners are privileged to oppose her—New territories are purchased which distort the body politic as well as the boundaries of the American empire. Her coffers are emptied and their contents appropriated in different parts of the union; and the constitution is new modelled to circumscribe the exercise of her wishes.
We seriously invite every person, who would inform himself who are paving the way to a division of the States, to examine the whole conduct of the present administration. Do not all its leading measures tend to favour one part of the Union and weaken the other? And if so, is it not a consequence arising from the nature of society, that when government ceases to be just, and beneficial, the basis of the connexion between it and the government is destroyed? When the partiality of an administration becomes oppressive to a part of the community, that partiality breaks the bond of Union, and the administration must be chargeable with the result.
There are individuals among us who, with boldness, support doctrines of the same pernicious tendency. It is certain that if the government of the U. States is to be converted entirely into a popular system, the consequence will be, a total destruction of State sovereignty. If the interests of particular States are to be subservient to the will of the general mass of citizens, then is the government completely consolidated—State influence will be done away and all power be proportioned to the quantum of population alone. Is not this a destructive change in our national policy—does it not destroy a fundamental principle in our Federal compact? Yet this doctrine fatal in its tendency—as it is, is now warmly advocated, by some among us; and these are the men who are insidiously proclaiming that we, who would preserve the government in its first established, federative plan, are desirous to effect a dissolution of the Union! but it cannot long be a question with an enlightened public whether they are the promoters of a disunion, who support measures injurious to our dearest privileges, which must alienate this part of the community from the general government, or, they, who oppose this ruinous policy, protest against its operation and honestly predict the consequences which must ensue, if it be not relinquished.
By the present administration, the system of reciprocal deference and benefit is relinquished—by our democrats, their work of destruction is countenanced and justified. Let their papers be examined in proof of this, and then let an impartial public determine whether those who detect and expose their plans, and point out their inevitable effects, who are continually labouring to maintain that respect to the several rights and liberties of the States, which the Federal Government was to protect and not to destroy—whether these are not the true and decided FRIENDS OF THE UNION.

ODES FROM ANACREON.
[MOORE'S TRANSLATION.]
In gallantry and delicacy, the following ode may vie with any thing produced in the more modern days of chivalry. It is unquestionably true that the sentiments
of the ancients, relative to the fair sex, were generally less refined than those of the moderns. Women were looked upon rather as conveniences than companions, and love consisted much more of passion than of affection. In this instance, however, the Grecian bard seems to have been inspired with a delicate and enthusiastic admiration which would do honor to a modern lover, and Mr. Moore has been remarkably fortunate in infusing into his English version the simplicity and correctness of the original.
[U. S. G.]
To all that breathe the air of heaven, Some boon of strength has nature given. When the majestic bull was born, She fenc'd his brow with wreathed horn. She arm'd the courser's foot of air, And wing'd with speed the panting hare. And gave the lion fangs of terrour, And on the ocean's chrystal mirror, Taught the unnumber'd scaly throng To trace their liquid path along; While for the umbrage of the grove, She plum'd the warbling world of love. To man she gave the flame refin'd, The spark of heaven—a thinking mind! And had she no surpassing treasure, For thee, oh woman! child of pleasure? Si gave thee beauty—shaft of eyes, Th t every shaft of war outflies! She gave thee beauty—blush of fire, That bids the flames of war retire! Woman! be fair, we must adore thee; Smile, and a world is weak before thee;
We read the flying courser's name Upon his side, in marks of flame; And by their turban'd brows alone, The warriors of the east are known. But in the lover's glowing eyes, The inlet to his bosom lies; Through them we see the small faint mark, Where love has dropp'd his burning spark!
[Mons La Fosse has enlarged upon this thought of Anacreon, in the following epigrammatic lines:]
Inpaign the lover tries to veil, The flame which in his bosom rises; His cheeks' confusion tells the tale, We read it in his languid eyes: And though his words the heart betray, His silence speaks e'en more than they.

FROM AN ENGLISH MAGAZINE.
ON RICHES.
BOAST not to me Peruvian ore, Nor Coromandel's glowing store, Where richer gems are found: The bliss of these but specious show; So nature thought, when deep below She hid them under ground.
Though polish'd fine by toils of art, Say can the brilliant blaze impart The vivid glow of health? Or bid, when ease no longer charms, The bosom beat to joy's alarms? Then tell me—what is wealth?
Oh! say, when o'er the couch we bend, Where droops some dear departing friend, Can wealth his flight delay? Or when the spark of hope is fled, Despair still hovering near its head, Can wealth revive the clay?
What nature asks indeed is small; A little compass circles all Those wants that gold supplies; But, trace the wants of mind in man, 'Tis then you'll find the boundless plan Extends to distant skies.
One only substitute below, And ah! how few the blessings know, To be belov'd and love! For sure, 'tis love that gives delight In regions where, 'midst purer light Superior beings move.
LAUGHING IS CATCHING.
A fat ecclesiastic, and his spiritual understrapper, vulgarly ycleped a clerk, were discoursing over a jug of brown nappy, in Leicestershire, upon the state of their amours in the parish—Each being obstinate as to his superior address and success among the ladies, it was finally agreed upon by both parties, to settle the point in dispute on the approaching Sunday, when they were to take their official stations much earlier than usual, in order to ascertain, by signs, as the ladies came into the church, those they had kissed.
When the VICAR's favorites came, he was to lean over the pulpit and cry quod —When the CLERK's favorites came, he was to look up at the VICAR, and cry quid . This material point being adjusted, the day came, and the first who entered was the squire's lady—Here the VICAR exercised his lungs and roared— quod ! After her came a tallow-chandler's lady, from the town alluded to.
The VICAR, again triumphant, ejaculated— quod !
Now came the VICAR's wife who was considered by all her neighbours as the eldest daughter of purity—
Here the CLERK, turning up his eyes arceastically towards the VICAR, pronounced audibly— quid !
"It cannot be," whispered the astonished VICAR—"A true bill, upon my salvation," rejoined the CLERK "and I dare say, you think my quid was worth all your quods !"
