N. B. All orders in his line are thankfully received and punctually executed.
THE subscriber intends to remove to the Westward some time in the beginning of October next; he therefore requests those that have any claims against him, either by bond, note, or book account, to exhibit them for settlement, and those that are indebted to him are also required to come forward and settle. As some people make it a practice, that when a person is on his journey, to issue attachments, &c. to prevent such trouble, the subscriber earnestly requests all claimants to come forward immediately, and those that will neglect the foregoing notice may depend that I shall not pay any demand that shall be made after the first day of October next.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.
Letters from New-Orleans, dated June 1, say, "Governor Claiborne has lately given his negative to two or three bills passed by the legislature. This has greatly irritated that body, in consequence of which an action to the following purport passed both houses: Whereas the members of these houses, in accepting the seats therein, were actuated by the purest wishes for the public good, and whereas the governor of this territory has successively negatived their wisest laws and proceedings; it is therefore resolved, that this house, taking into consideration the heavy and unnecessary expense it occasions to the territory, do unanimously adjourn to the first week in February."
LOMBARDY POPLAR.
This Tree which has become an ornament to the city, we are sorry to learn, is suspected of producing a Worm of the most poisonous description. The subject, we think, requires the most serious examination; and for the purpose of inviting to it, those who are best qualified by particular study or experience, we state the following fact, which has been communicated to us by respectable citizens:—
On Monday morning at 10 o'clock an experiment was made in Southwark, in the presence of several gentlemen, with the view of ascertaining the effect of the bite or sting of one of those reptiles. A Worm, found in a Lombardy Poplar, was placed before a Cat, rather more than half grown. In attempting to smell, she was stung in the nose. In about fifteen minutes she fainted away, and remained apparently lifeless for five minutes; after which, she exhibited marks of violent internal pains, and in 45 minutes died. The worm is of a pale chocolate color; has a fork at the extremity of the tail, having from ten to fourteen feet. They vary in size, some being but an inch, others four inches long. They are extremely strong and animated. Arsenic, vitriol and aqua fortis have been applied to them, without producing instant death. Some of these worms, we understand, have been left with Mr. Peale, at the Museum, for examination.
A gentleman who has made some observations on the subject, remarks that they seldom appear in moist situations. He is led to conclude that they are generated in the roots of the poplar, from whence they travel in the night. They have been found on fences in the neighbourhood of the poplar. He suggests trying the effect of hot lye, poured on the root of the tree.
NEW-YORK, June 30.
Captain Smith, of the schooner Fox, from Martinique, informs us (and some letters in town corroborate the intelligence) that Jerome Bonaparte arrived at Port Royal on the 6th of June in an 80 gun ship. Shortly after a British frigate appeared off the harbour, and citizen Jerome went out with the avowed determination of bringing her to action; but another frigate heaving in sight he judged it most prudent to return again into port. An embargo immediately took place, which continued four days; and when the Fox sailed the two frigates above mentioned were blockading the harbour.
INTERESTING EXTRACT.
"Halifax, May 31st, 1806.
"Sir, You can hardly conceive the pleasure which I feel in being released from the most unhappy situation in which I was ever placed; but thank God, I am at liberty thus far, and can write now without restraint. The tale I am about to relate is not of the pleasantest kind; but will, I trust, afford you some satisfaction in knowing the particulars and hearing of my safety, although the circumstances under which it was transacted must fill the mind of every American with honest indignation." "It is surely no small disappointment to be captured unlawfully against all our expectations, within three hours sail of your much wish'd for port; thus in an instant to be blasted in the joyful expectation of
joining our families and friends; such has been my case, and will I fear be the case of many others, unless our government adopts prompt and vigorous measures." "At the news of the proceedings in New-York, every officer was a Captain Boddart, and would destroy his own house, after that twenty more, until the whole city was battered down, unless their officers, who were procuring supplies, returned in safety, for which they waited five days at anchor near the Hook, and then made every preparation for proceeding to town with the ships: they however, thought it most prudent first to send a flag of truce by the first lieutenant to the commander of the French Governor's Island, fearing to land in the city, to know the reason of their detention, of which I suppose he was informed, and returned the following evening on board; the foraging gentlemen arrived in the night without the intended supplies—thanks to the gentlemen who intercepted them, and the next day made sail for Halifax, where we arrived on Friday the 10th of May. During our passage, several vessels were overhauled, and two men pressed from each—one in particular after heaving to, was fired at six times with directions each time to fire upon her; and by way of compensation, we are told, if unjustly robbed, will be indemnified for our losses." "For my part, I expect redress only in the united determinations of our citizens to support their natural rights and punish the cruel invaders of our national liberty and laws. Remonstrance is only subjecting ourselves to further insults, as all experience has plainly shewn, and the sooner it is abandoned and more energetic measures adopted, the sooner will our flag be respected and our citizens permitted to trade unmolested and in peace. I am grieved to see so many American vessels lying here, some condemned, others waiting their trial, and new ones coming in every day. On Sunday the 15th instant arrived the brig Romulus, capt. M'Danil of New-York, from Havanna, sent in by the Tartar frigate. There is also lying here the brig Mars loaded with Mahogany belonging to Samuel Burling of New-York, lately tried and cleared after a strong contention on the part of the captors, that beef and pork, part of her outward bound cargo, came under the denomination of contraband of war; they however condemned the claimants in the costs and damages, and they are permitted to depart with their vessel almost a wreck through the misconduct of the captors. The ship John and Francis of Charleston has also been tried and part of her cargo condemned, the remainder with the ship laid over for further proof, private ventures not excepted." "The brig Ranger, of Wiswasset since our arrival has also been condemned for having on board a few poles which they said would make Royal yards; the three masted schooner Nimrod, of New-York is waiting her trial; the ship Aurora was libelled on Monday the 13th, and her trial commences in 21 days from that date. Sailed from this port on Sunday, the 19th inst. the Squirrel sloop of war to cruise off New-York, and the Leander on the 22d for the same, cruising ground it is said. What a terrible pity it is that two or three frigates cannot be spared from the service in the Potomak River to drive those ruffians from our shores. It might, indeed, answer the double purpose of bringing Whitby to justice, who, it seems, cannot be brought thereto by the common course of law. It is more than probable he will not confine himself to the limits prescribed by our government; but, as usual, commit his depredations in the waters, and within the jurisdiction of the United States, thereby affording a fit opportunity to attack and bring him to justice, although by an uncommon course of law. There is another arrival lately, the brig Hannah, capt. Ropes, of Salem from L'eghorn, sent in by the Leander. This brig was loaded with sugars, bound to Naples, and was boarded on her outward bound passage by a British frigate, and on examination found that her sugars were imported into the U. States in two other vessels, for which reason she was permitted to pass. On her arrival in the Mediterranean, she was informed by a man of war brig that she

could not enter Naples; she then went into Leghorn, discharged her cargo, and when returning home with a considerable quantity of specie, the proceeds of that cargo, was fell in with by that gallant commander, Whitby , and was sent in for adjudication for the very reason that induced the others to let her pass. The condemnation of vessels here is so little regarded, that it almost becomes a matter of course from their being sent in, and the captors are so well aware of this that they immediately begin to calculate the amount of prize money accruing to each from the sale of the vessel so captured. Indeed, some of the officers of the Leander feared the money of the Aurora already in their possession before their arrival in Halifax.
"The day following my arrival here, I was permitted to leave the man of war, which was much to my satisfaction; I shortly after visited our ship, and found to my great surprise that all my fruit was stolen, which consisted of Oranges, Pine Apples and Cocoa Nuts. Give my respects to Mr. Fairchild, and tell your brother that the British have deprived me of the means of supplying him with the Cocoa Nuts which I promised. If you please, inform my family that I am in good health.—Adieu."
I am dear Sir, Your humble Servant, &c. JOHN M'EVERS. Mr. JOHN M'LURE."
Capt. Beehivale, who arrived at Boston on Thursday last, from St. Pierre, Martinico, which he left the 28th May, informs, that a report was current there, that Spain had taken possession of Portugal; and that she had ceded the Province of Biscay to France; which doubtless will be erected into a principality for some member of the good republican family of Bonaparte; or some one of the French Generals who have so often sworn to be true to a republic, one and indivisible. Though we do not place much dependence on European news travelling through the West-Indies, we do not consider either of the above events impossible or improbable.

July 1.
Poplar Trees. All at once an alarm has gone forth respecting the Poplar trees, which line and ornament our streets, and which are almost equally conducive to health and comfort. It is said there is a species of worm generated by them whose bite is poisonous and fatal; and many persons we understand have it in contemplation to cut them down. If there is just cause of alarm, it seems very strange that for more than a score of years no evil should have been experienced. It is a fact too, as we are assured that the same species of worm is bred on the Walnut, if not on the Willow. We really hope that before these beautiful and pleasant trees are destroyed, and the unobstructed rays of the Sun let in upon our pavements, some suitable measures will be found to ascertain the reality and extent of the danger that is so suddenly apprehended.
From the New-York Herald of June 28.
A letter from a gentleman at Halifax, dated June 12, to the owners of the ship Herkimer , lately captured off the Hook by the British frigate Leander , says—"The Herkimer arrived here yesterday, and lies safely moored under the guns of the captors. The captain and supercargo have both been examined on the standing interrogatories, and I presume that the ship will be libelled in the course of three or four days."
LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, May 8.
This morning the Hamburg mail due on Wednesday, arrived, and the intelligence which it brings is of the utmost importance. If the accounts from different parts of the continent may be relied upon, the Russians have actually evacuated Ragusa and Cataro, in consequence of which the French have discontinued the works which they were constructing at Brannau, and the divisions of marshals Ney and Soult have commenced their march.
The editor of the Hamburg paper expresses a doubt of the truth of this intelligence; and it certainly does not appear probable, upon the first view of the subject that the Russians, having obtained possession of such an important position as that of Cataro, should have quietly resigned it to the French. It is however, possible, that the emperor Alexander may have been induced, by the intricacies of the court of Vienna, to consent to
the evacuation of Cataro, in order to save Austria from an immediate contest with France, the result of which, under the present circumstances, might be most fatal to her.
A slight skirmish has taken place between the Swedes and Prussians near Ratzeburgh, the result of which, was, that the former (being greatly inferior in numbers) were compelled to retire.
The insignificant fortress of Gaeta still holds out, although a French army of 24 thousand men, with a formidable train of artillery, are employed in the siege. The garrison consists of 6000 men, who are well supplied with provisions. It is supposed that Massena means to attempt the invasion of Sicily, as he has collected a number of transports; but we think it very improbable that he would attempt such an enterprize while the English and Russians are complete masters of the sea.
The prediction which we made some months ago, respecting the states of the Church, are on the point of being verified; Pius the VIth, after all his abject submission to the commands of Bonaparte, has, it is said, received an intimation that his resignation will be accepted. Cardinal Fesch is to be his successor.—The residence of the pope is in future to be at Avignon, and the Roman state is to be incorporated with the kingdom of Italy.
The dilemma to which Austria is reduced, the gradually withdrawing veil, which has till of late, been spread over the rapacious designs of Bonaparte, the first step towards actual hostilities between Prussia and Sweden, the still suspended determination of Russia with respect to those two powers, and the formidable resistance which the French have to encounter in Sicily, are points which we have again and again touched upon, and which receive fresh light from every day's occurrences.
In the midst of feverish agitation in some parts of Germany, and of that deadly calm which portends the near approach of a storm in others, it is curious to observe what efforts are used by the agents and vassals of France, particularly Bavaria, to propagate delusive reports of peace, and to lull the people into a state of the most fatal security.

SWEDISH BULLETIN.
Head-Quarters of the Swedish army of GRISWALD, April 23.
Reports of the 23d, received from adjutant-general count Lowenheim, announce, that on the 21st, the Prussians had taken possession of several villages in the Mecklenburg territory along the frontiers of Lauenburg.
At Marienstadt their vedettes approached to within 300 paces of the Swedish out posts. Count Lowenheim's principal force was then at Grosszecher and Skedoff. The Swedish vanguard retained possession of Marienstadt, Sophienthal, the bridge of Ruched, and the approaches to Lauenburg and Ardenburg.
Yesterday Baron Glass Rulamb arrived as a courier with a report from count Van Lowenheim, dated Gadesbusch, April 23.—It is stated in his dispatches, that at half past eight in the morning of the 23d, the Prussians passed the Lauenburg frontier at Marienstadt in such force that the Swedish troops found it necessary, after a brave resistance to evacuate their posts in the evening. The loss of troops under count Van Lowenheim consists of one hussar killed and eight wounded. The loss of the Prussians cannot be related with certainty; but during the action, it was observed that a number fell on their side. Count Van Lowenheim has reserved the communication of farther details (which with respect to the Prussians will be very ample) until his next report which is every moment expected.
ALBANY, June 24.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman at Detroit, to a Mercantile House in this City, of which he is a Partner, dated June 1, 1806.
"Since my arrival at this place there have several reports been made to Mr. S. Griswold, our acting Governor, by Indian traders, from different parts of the country, of the frequent secret councils held by the Indians, under pretence of passing laws to oblige their own people to become sober and industrious, by applying their time to improving their lands and living after the manner of the white people; but knowing their practice of dissimulation and treachery, we were suspicious that their meetings were to concert measures to make an incursion into this country—plunder the inhab-
itants, and retire. This occasioned a sense of danger to spread among the people. But altho' this timely notice has been given, I fear we have been deficient in providing against the dangers to which, from the remote situation of this place, we are perpetually exposed. The vast extent of the frontiers, the scattered situation of the settlements, the nature of savage warfare, together with the exact knowledge the Indians possess of every part of this country, make me fear that the inhabitants who are not under the immediate protection of the fort, will find their resistance ineffectual.
"I have deferred writing you on this subject before, for fear of giving an unnecessary alarm, not being sufficiently assured of the truth of the reports. We are now no longer in doubt, that the Indians are preparing to commence war against the United States, and we daily expect an attack at this place. We are well informed, that they have an unusual quantity of provisions and ammunition in their possession.
"These accounts are corroborated by an express from Fort Wayne (on the Miami) sent by the commanding officer, and the arrival of the brig Adams from Michilimackinac, where the inhabitants were all under arms, and one half on guard every night. Between 5 and 600 Indians were assembled on the island, when the Adams sailed, with great pretensions of friendship—but the commanding officer of that post, has no doubt of their hostile intentions whenever they find themselves sufficiently strong; and well knowing their treachery, he will not trust to their outward appearances, but keeps in readiness to defend the fort against any attack which they may meditate upon it.
"These circumstances afford cause of the greatest alarm, and we have been in council for these three days, for the purpose of taking every possible defensive precaution, and have at last resolved to build blockhouses in different parts of the territory for the protection of the inhabitants.
"Gov. Hull has not arrived—his presence is much wished for at this time, in order to call out the militia on actual duty."
NASHVILLE, (Tenn.) May 31.
A duel took place yesterday morning, near the southern boundary of Kentucky, between General Andrew Jackson, and Mr. Charles Dickinson, both citizens of Davidson county of this state, in which the latter received a ball in his arm, which passed through and entered his body. When the messenger who brought the intelligence left him, there were little hopes of his surviving the wound.
MURDER.
About the 12th instant, there was an Indian man killed near Tellico block house by a white man of the name of Ferguson; his motive for doing this is unknown, about two days after the act was perpetrated, near two hundred Indians assembled at the place to take satisfaction—Colonel Meigs was sent to pacify them, and bring the perpetrator to conviction, the result of which is not known.
We understand that the Spanish agents at Mobile have agreed that that city shall be a place of deposit for goods brought in vessels of citizens of the U. States arriving there; and that goods having been so deposited may be carried either up the river or outwards.
We further learn that in consequence of the disturbed state of the frontier, a large portion of our army, amounting to about one thousand men, have been directed to station themselves at Fort Adams.
NORTHAMPTON, (Mass.) June 10.
On Thursday last, in pursuance of the sentence of the supreme court, Dominick Daly and James Hallagan were executed in this town, for the murder of Marcus Lyon.
The concourse of spectators at the place of execution, was larger than we have ever witnessed on a similar occasion. The number undoubtedly exceeded 10,000.
The last dying words of Dominick Daly and James Hallagan—pronounced by Daly at the gallows and delivered by him, in writing, to General Mason.
At this awful moment of appearing before the tribunal of the Almighty; and knowing that telling a falsehood, would be eternal perdition to our poor souls, we solemnly declare, we are perfectly innocent of the crime for which we suffer, or of any other murder or robbery; never saw, to our knowledge, Marcus Lyon in our lives; and as unaccounta-
ble as it may appear, the boy never saw one of us looking at him at or near a fence; or any of us either leading, driving or riding a horse, and we never went off the high road. We blame no one, we forgive every one; we submit to our fate as being the will of the Almighty; and beg of him to be merciful to us, thro' the merits of his divine Son, our blessed Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Our sincere thanks to the Rev. John Chevers, for his long and kind attention to us, as likewise every other friend that served us, and comforted us during our long confinement.
DOMINICK DALY, JAMES HALLAGAN.
PHILADELPHIA, June 27.
Last evening arrived the brig Kentucky, captain Crauson, from New-Orleans, which he left the 5th inst. and the Balize on the 7th. The brig Bostwick, for New-York, ran on the bar, where she will be lost; the passengers quitted her and came in the Kentucky, who put several of them on board a Virginia pilot boat for Baltimore.
On the 4th inst. off Cape Florida, the Kentucky was boarded by the British ship of war Cambrian, who pressed nine of her steerage passengers, several of them men of property, having several thousand dollars freight on board, and were very abusive to the cabin passengers; some time after pressing the above, by the representation of one of the passengers who went on board the Cambrian they were all returned.
In consequence of frequent applications of the members of the House of Representatives of the state of Massachusetts for leave of absence, the House ordered on the 12th ult. that any person who wished for leave of absence should leave his name and the name of the town he represents, with the clerk of the house, together with his reasons, and that the same being read from the Chair with the reasons assigned, the House would act on such applications at a certain hour each day. A member from the town of Fayette, left the following note with the Clerk, which was read and he obtained leave of absence almost unanimously.
"Solomon Bates, jr. the member from Fayette, requests leave of absence after Monday next. The reasons he offers are these, that he left his business at home with his boys, the oldest of whom is a Royalist in principle and the younger ones not being altogether willing to be subject to such a government, he has reason to fear that his family, in a measure may become disorganized, and therefore thinks it his duty to be with them as soon as may be."
Extract of a letter from an officer at fort Detroit, dated June 1, to a gentleman in New-York.
"We have received a letter from Captain Whipple, at fort Wayne, stating that a plan was formed by the Indians, to take and destroy the forts in my district, viz. Detroit, fort Wayne, Dearborn at Chicago, and Mackinac.
"The brig Adams arrived yesterday from Mackinac, and brings intelligence that a war is expected in that quarter, and that the garrison was preparing for defence.
"The militia at this place are preparing, but it is a feeble mustering and not capable of rendering much service.
"I am of opinion that the English nation will take a part, though not openly, with the Indians, as some supplies of provisions and ammunition have lately been issued by the agents of the British government."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Bigtree, in the Genesee, state of New-York, to his friend near this place, (Carlisle,) dated the 26th of May.
"Sir, The emigration to this country has been very great this last winter and spring. From the Northward, one hundred sleighs with families have passed Mr. Bloomfield's in one day, and upwards of one hundred families have arrived from Pennsylvania; owing to this circumstance and a number of contractors purchasing for the garrisons at Detroit and Michilimackinac, &c. and the crops failing in some degree last year, there is not a bushel of grain to be purchased nearer than Utic, about 145 miles from this. I know families at this time that have not had a dust of flour in their house for three or four weeks, nor any thing to live on but fish."
It is with no little surprise that we learn that the legislature of Massachusetts have at length unanimously declar-

ed governor Strong to be reelected. It would seem as though the majority had not sufficient hardihood to carry into execution the projects which they had contemplated.
Gen. Heath, the democratic candidate, who has been elected lieutenant governor of the state of Massachusetts, has declined accepting the office. Of course the office will be vacant for the ensuing year.
MARTINSBURG, July 11.
JUDGE WYTHE.
It is supposed that this gentleman was poisoned by a young man, his nephew who resided with him. The circumstances of this horrid transaction are thus related in a late paper: The young man had forged his uncle's name in drawing checks on the bank—to prevent detection, and at the same time to secure a considerable sum bequeathed to him in the Judge's will, he administered the fatal dose by mixing it with the coffee prepared for breakfast; not only the Judge, but several of his domestics drank of the coffee, and are dead or at the point of death. Judge Wythe fortunately survived long enough to discover the fraud of his nephew, and disappoint him in his hopes of a legacy.
Governor Strong's speech.—After disposing of several local subjects, Mr. Strong concludes his speech in the following manner; being the only part that possesses any interest out of his own state.
"In free States, where the mind is neither subdued by force nor awed by terror, even the appearance of unanimity is not to be expected. But whatever differences of opinion may prevail among our fellow-citizens, we, as agents of the commonwealth, have one and the same interest to pursue, and are bound by the most solemn tie to pursue it invariably. Our constituents have a right to expect our warmest zeal, not for the success of a party, but for the public good. You, Gentlemen, I trust will have this object constantly in view, and instead of consulting private interest, or gratifying partiality or resentment, will be ready to agree in all cases where the general welfare of the State is concerned....Such an example in the Legislature will have the happiest tendency in every part of the Commonwealth to abate the fervor of political dissensions, and prevent or repress those internal feuds, which, if long continued, admit of no reconciliation; and which in other countries have proved fatal to almost every free Government."
For the INTELLIGENCER.
AS men and Christians we must look to the holy Author and Finisher of our faith, for the model of our conduct; and endeavour to approach the example of his perfection, as nearly as the natural deficiencies in abilities, and imperfections of humanity, will permit. Having done this, we may confidently assure ourselves of obtaining the richest boon which heaven can bestow—that solid peace which the world can neither give nor take away; a white-robed angel of light, descending from the footstool of the throne of God, "with a countenance calm and serene as the summer sky, unspotted by the shadow of a cloud. Her eyes are as the eyes of doves for meekness, and on her eyebrows sit cheerfulness and joy; whilst, like the virgin daughter of Zion, she shakes her head at the tumults of the world, despising and laughing them to scorn."
This, Christians, is the friend which you may secure to yourselves, by seeking her possession according to the directions prescribed by the New Testament; a friend that will stand by to comfort and support you in every disastrous situation in which you may be placed, and under every calamitous pressure to which you may be reduced. A friend that will carry you through the vicissitudes of life, guard you from its dangers, and relieve you from its troubles; and, when mortal scenes begin to fade away from before your eyes, when the days of sickness and infirmity arrive, and the last enemy prepares to cut the thread that holds you to the world, will enable you to maintain the tranquillity of your minds, and "possess your souls in peace."
To form a friendship like this, Christians, is, indeed, a pursuit worthy of the reasonable nature we bear, and of the immortal spirit by which we are animated; and infinitely more will it felicitate us in
the present life, and stand us in stead "at the latter day," to have made this valuable acquisition, than if we had reached the loftiest pinnacle of human glory, had climbed to the proudest heights of mortal ambition, had routed armies, burned fenced cities, desolated provinces, and spread our fame to the furthest pole. In these times, and in the convulsed state of the world, an admonition of this kind is but too necessary; since we are unfortunately influenced by notions the most perverse and fatal with respect to our true happiness and best interests. We keep our attention too much awake to public concerns and external matters, and too little directed to our private duties, and the regulation of our own hearts. Like the mistakenly sedulous MARTHA, we are "careful" and "troubled about many things," and forget the "one thing needful." We suffer our politics to interfere with, and obliterate our religion. We busy ourselves with unremitting anxiety about fleets and armies, our political consequence and commercial aggrandizement; and are cold and careless, indifferent and unmindful, with respect to what imports us infinitely more—the terms of our salvation, and the state of our souls; forgetting that this life is but a moment, compared with that which is to succeed it; and that all the concerns of time dwindle to a point, when brought into the presence of eternity. The changeableness and confusion which characterise every thing on this side the grave; the uncertain tenure by which all our possessions are held, & the perishing nature of which they all partake, strikingly point out their vanity and worthlessness; & "tho' there be neither voice nor language heard amongst them," yet in the ear of reason they pour the most eloquent persuasions against a violent attachment to, or secure dependence upon, any thing that is mortal. Take the volume of history; peruse its contents, and attend to the awful lesson they afford. There you will read, not only of kings and princes, legislators and heroes, who are blotted from the book of life; but you will see even the empires which they governed, and the kingdoms they subdued, gradually declining into insignificance, and at length into ruin.
The widely-extended nations and mighty powers which, in their turns, have astonished the world with their majesty and grandeur, exist now only in a book. They have long since vanished from the earth—they sleep among the dead—they are fallen to rise no more; and their memorials have well-nigh perished with them. In the same manner shall we ourselves, and the states by which we are united, in the lapse of a few ages, be rent in pieces, and our places be occupied perhaps by people, and tongues, and languages who know us not. All below is mutation and disquiet, and bears in its bosom the seeds of its own destruction; but the kingdom of God, the country to which we journey, shall stand fast for ever and ever. Its deep foundations were laid from everlasting, or ever the earth was made, or the heavens created;—and should the world be wrapt in flames, and the lights of the sky fall and be extinguished, our blessed inheritance will flourish in perfect beauty, and "immortal youth, unhurt amid the war of elements, the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds." The inevitable stroke of death must quickly dissolve the relation we bear to every earthly government; and the hour is approaching with silent, but certain steps, when all political institutions and all civil distinctions shall be brushed away as dust before the driving tempest. But our CITIZENSHIP (if we endeavour to render ourselves worthy of the honour) will still remain; for, as the apostle tells us, "it is in heaven." As followers of Christ we belong to, and if sincere professors of his gospel, shall certainly inherit, a glorious kingdom, not subject to dissolution; an holy society, whose felicity will be infinite, and duration eternal.
On this kingdom, then, (the kingdom of God) let us fix our chief regards; giving to the vain concerns of human policy, the senseless schemes of worldly ambition—believe me, 'tis all that they deserve—a secondary consideration. Let us drop that blind attachment to the petty interests of the world, which commences in error and prejudice, is carried on in delusion and vanity, and terminates in disappointment and vexation of spirit; and let us fix our affections on "things above," and turn our attention to the practice of Christianity; to the performance of that righteousness "whose work," in the world, "is peace, and the end thereof quietness and assurance for ever."
AMERICANUS.
From the Dartmouth Gazette.
"Lean not on earth, 'twill pierce thee to the heart."
AN immortal mind cannot long be delighted with the pleasures of time. It must be fed with nobler, with heavenly food. Earth with all its enjoyments will be forgotten, riches will escape the miser's eager grasp, and mirth flee before the votaries of pleasure.—Empty, then, are the vain pursuits of earthly good! Regardless of the sublime enjoyments of futurity, we eagerly grasp at the world, till, like the dagger of the assassin, it pierces to the heart. The hopes of the thoughtless multitude reach not beyond the veil of time; but the Christian's hope brightens with the decay of nature. No clouds of anxiety darken the sun of his prosperity. No alarming fears disturb his midnight repose. Hope is an anchor to his soul, which, admits all the storms of life, directs him forward, with enraptured joy, to seats of immortal bliss. He "leans not on earth," no; his trust is in HIM whose promise never fails. When afflictions assail, and poverty threatens him, when death knocks at his door, he reposes in the arms of faith, he can easily part with the world, for this is not his portion. But where is the infidel to look for enjoyment, when his body sleeps in the dust? Does he hope his existence will then be at an end? he starts with horror at the thought! Reason convinces him of its absurdity.
Religion brightens in the shade of retirement. The hurry of business, and the rude scenes of mirth, drown the whisper of conscience, and quench the vital spark of religion. The Christian will often retire to converse with his God.—There he enjoys his sweetest moments, there he tastes the pleasures which it is not in the power of earthly objects to afford. When he withdraws from noise and disturbance, when he meditates at leisure on these great truths, which have never been seriously enough considered, it is almost impossible that he should not be affected with them. Intercourse with the world cools our affections for religion, and darkens the hopes of future enjoyment, in the same proportion that it increases our attachment to the present.—If we would breathe a purer air, we must shun the noxious vapors of vice, we must flee from it, as more dangerous than the plague or the pestilence. Ye friends of humanity; when you behold the greater part of mankind eagerly pursuing the fleeting joys of immortality, then retire and heave a sigh for human depravity; but retire not in vain. Resolve to quit your follies and immerse not again in sinful pleasures.
All the moments of our lives are counted. Let us employ them well or ill, we shall not increase their number, it is fixed and lessens continually. Is then our treasure on earth? It will vanish in the hour of distress. Is it in heaven? It will increase in value through a boundless eternity.
Youth and beauty may fall before the corroding hand of time, like the tender flower before the chilling blasts of autumn. The brightest morning may soon be overcast with clouds; and storms of adversity may drive us far from the smiles and caresses of our friends; happy beyond expression, if in these moments religion be our guide. This will smooth the furrowed front of age, and blunt the barbed arrow of death. This will brighten our hopes when all other enjoyments have faded, when gaily ceases to please, and mirth can no longer delight.
A gentleman in Liverpool writes to the editor of the Alexandria Expositor, under date of 23d April, 1806, thus:
"The political rumors of the day are that there is to be a regency, the Prince of Wales at the head; that Mr. Fox is droptical and not likely to live six months, that the Grenvilles wish to make a peace on the terms which Mr. Fox and his friends will not listen to; and that the latter actually resigns in consequence. Mr. Fox, though a pacific man, seems an energetic war minister: you probably know his opinions are very high respecting the resources of this country."
The following apology in one of the New-York papers may serve to excite a smile.
In making up this paper for the press a marriage which had been published the day preceding, and of which the types had not been distributed, was on Saturday inadvertently put amongst the sales at auction. We regret this circumstance, not only for the ridiculous ap-
pearance it made, but from a regard to the respectable persons who are the subject of the article alluded to, and whom we should be very sorry to offend.
[The following is apparently a very tough story; but I'll lay a wager that it is as true as three-fourths of the matter that appears in our democratic papers. Edit. Bal.]
Powerful effects of Plaster of Paris.—The wonderful efficacy of this wonderful manure was not fully known until recently; and Luzerne has the honor of the discovery. Col. Munchauson a farmer in a neighbouring town had purchased a bushel of Gypsum, and left it standing in a bag unknown to his wife.—She, good woman, in haste to make some pudding for her children's supper, mistook the Plaster for Flour. The children feasted heartily and retired to sleep. The Col. in the morning, as was customary, rose early, and went into the chamber where his boys slept to call them up.—What was the astonishment of the father to find his sons had grown with such remarkable rapidity during the night, that their legs hung out of the bed on the floor, and one had been absolutely crowded out of bed! The boys continue their growth, and bid fair in a few weeks to rival in size the children of Anak.

CURE FOR DEAFNESS.
Mr. Sitnickoff, a merchant of Moscow, was deprived for half a year of the faculty of hearing, and submitted to various applications without success. At last he filled his mouth with smoke of tobacco, closed it firmly as well as his nostrils, and thus compelled the smoke to find a passage through the ears. The next day he felt a crash in each ear, and ever since his hearing has been perfectly restored.
Sonini's Description of Greece.
"The man of these delightful parts of Greece is of a handsome stature; he carries his head high; his body erect, or rather inclined backward than forward; he is dignified in his carriage, easy in his manners, and nimble in his gait; his eyes are full of vivacity, his countenance is open, and his address agreeable and prepossessing; he is neat and elegant in cloathing; he has a taste for dress, as for every thing that is beautiful; active, industrious, and even enterprising; with ease, he expresses himself with warmth; he is acquainted with the language of the passions, and he likewise astonishes by his natural eloquence; he loves the arts, without daring to cultivate them, under the brazen yoke which hangs heavy upon his neck; skilful and cunning in trade, he does not always conduct himself in it with that frankness which constitutes its principal basis; and if we still find in modern Greece many of the fine qualities which do honour to the history of ancient Greece, it cannot be denied, that superstition, the child of ignorance and slavery, greatly tarnishes their lustre: and we also discover in their disposition, that fickleness, that pliability, that want of sincerity; in short, that artful turn of mind which borders on treachery, and of which the Greeks of antiquity have been accused."
"But this obliquity of character fortunately does not extend, or at least is very much weakened, among the women of the same countries. The Greek females are, in general, distinguished by a noble and easy shape, and a majestic carriage. Their features, traced by the hand of beauty, reflect the warm and profound affections of sensibility; the serenity of their countenance is that of dignity, without having its coldness or gravity; they are amiable without pretension, decent without sourness, charming without affectation. If to such brilliant qualities, we add elevation of ideas, warmth of expression, those flights of simple and ingenious eloquence which attract and fascinate, a truly devoted attachment to persons beloved, exactness and fidelity in their duties, we shall have some notions of those privileged beings, with whom nature, in her munificence, has embellished the earth, and who are not rare in Greece. There it is that the genius of the artists of antiquity would still have the choice of more than one model."
THE Company commanded by the subscriber, are desired to attend a MUSTER to be held at Martinsburg on Saturday the 26th Inst. at the usual time and place of parade. A punctilious attendance is required from every individual belonging to the Company.

[There is a vein of genuine humor in the following little tale, that cannot fail to be gratifying to the American reader.]
SOME bucks in London on a certain time.
Wishing to have a little merriment, With one just landed from Columbia's clime, One evening to a tavern with him went:
And there most sumptuously they did regale
Their busy mouths; and much they did destroy Of beef, bread, mutton, cyder, wine, and ale; For manfully they did themselves employ;
And all attentive to the stranger guest, Oft did they fill his glass and oft his plate; While witless he with pride and joy elate, Thought never man such courteous friends possess'd.
At length the feat of eating ended, One of the company arose, And pray'd the rest his absence to excuse,
"Mine uncle dear (quoth he,) is very ill, And he, this night, though sore against my will,
"By me intreats to be attended." All for his quick depart gave full consent, He made a civil bow and off he went.
Immediately, two gentles more Remembered they some business had to do, But kindly begg'd th' American not to go 'Till they return'd—which would be in an hour.
Two more the waiter call'd away; So in the supper room did stay, Of Britons only one; And while the Yankee look'd about, He likewise unperceiv'd slip out, And left the wight alone. Then did he see upon the still The grinning Landlord, with his yard-long bill,
Who very civilly demanded pay. "Oh sir, (the gentle youth surpris'd did say)
"Where are the other guests?" "They (quoth the landlord sniggering) all are gone,
"And since you chose to stay behind alone,
"You pay for all the rest. "Ha! ha! I see you don't know Lunnun yet;
"Our British blades are monstrous fond of wit; "Yes, yes, that fellow's skull must be well made,
"Who would in wit out-do a British blade." Vext to the heart, the stranger mus'd awhile,
Then turning round most sweetly he did smile, And say:
"Well Landlord, since this plaguy trick is so,
"I think, to smooth my temper ere I go, "That you and I will take a glass together,
"For la! I value not my cash a feather; "So bring a bottle of your best I pray."
Out whisk'd the landlord in a trice, To fetch his old Champaign so soft and nice;
But when he with the bottle in did walk, With sad surprise he started, And a most rueful exclamation made, For lo! the young American had departed!
And nought had left to pay for the good wine, Save this short line,
Wrote on the table with a piece of chalk; "A Yankee Handle for a British Blade!"

Addresses to Young Men,
By JAMES FORDYCE,
And for that purpose submits the following proposals to the consideration of all who feel for the welfare of the present and rising generation, whose happiness these Addresses are so admirably calculated to promote.
TERMS: The above Addresses shall be printed with an elegant and entirely new type, on good paper, in an octavo form, and will contain about 500 pages. They shall be neatly bound and lettered for $2 25—or $2 half bound, payable on delivery of the work. They shall be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained, and finished without delay:
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE present publisher, as a member of that class of the community, to which this highly valuable work is addressed, recommends it particularly to his young brethren—but every person who feels for the good of his country, and for the welfare of society, he doubts not, will consider it a duty to patronize a work of this kind.
THE dispositions and manners of Young Men may be regarded as of the greatest consequence both to the present and future generations—An intercourse with those of worthy manners and dignified deportment, is evidently, much more efficacious in moulding the rinds and directing the actions of others, than the highest authority, or the wisest example, of age. How deeply society will be affected, by the connections which Young Men shall form, and by the conduct which they shall hold, as they advance, it is not difficult to imagine; nor can it be necessary to prove, that, as the behaviour of individuals in their early days gives for the most part a turn to the rest, so from the character of our Youth in general, we may prognosticate favourably, or otherwise, concerning our own times, and those that shall more immediately succeed them.
THE above work, tho' more particularly addressed to, and intended for, the improvement of the minds of Young Men, inculcates principles that would add dignity to age,—and be ornamental to the nature of either sex. To persons acquainted with the author and his writings, any recommendation that could be offered, would be superfluous; but to those unacquainted with both, it may be proper to observe, that the work here offered, has stood the test of time and experience, and has been universally extolled by the virtuous of every sect and country where it has been read.
It would be a valuable present from a parent to a child, and for which they may expect remuneration in the rational improvement made in the minds of their progeny.
To complete this work, in a style that will do it justice, will subject the publisher to very considerable expense; but he doubts not but he shall be compensated for his expense and trouble, as every one will acknowledge, that the dissemination of books of this kind are an actual good to the community at large, and will therefore feel disposed to patronize it—for this purpose all who feel inclined to do so are invited to the Office of the Intelligencer, Martinsburg.

TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber on Sunday last, a Negro Man named Jim, alias Jim Thompson, but better known in this county and Jefferson by the name of Fifer Jim; he is about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, about 40 years old, has a round flat face, of a very dark colour, and is a stout well made fellow; he was lately confined in the Martinsburg jail from which I relieved him. He has for several years past blowed the fife for the militia companies about Martinsburg and other places, on which he performs very well, & plays the fiddle also. He had on an old surcoat made of gray coating, overalls and waistcoat of the same cloth, a pair of about half worn shoes, split down the vamp owing to their being too small, and stockings, and probably other clothing with him. I will give the above reward to any person who will return said negro to me, or confine him in Berkeley or Jefferson County jail so that I get him again.
