COPYING MACHINES,
Direct from the patentee. These machines are made on a simple and improved plan for copying, writing, &c. of any size, in an expeditious manner, and are charged at a much less price than any other now in use. They are found to possess a superiority over any others, both by being more durable and not so liable to get out of repair, and by copying any number of writings at one time, without making any alteration in the machine, and their occupying little room. The very general use into which these machines are now brought in use in London and other large trading cities, and the satisfaction testified by all who possess them, render it unnecessary to enlarge any further on their advantage, both in point of accuracy and secrecy and in the saving of time, labour and expense.

By this Day's Mail
BOSTON, November 28:
The following extract from the instructions of the town of Franklin, in this state, to Colonel John Boyd, its representative, will be read with pleasure by every one who will be a continuation of those blessings, which, under God, have been the happy effects of the administration of our national government, on truly federal principles, the last twelve years.
To Colonel JOHN BOYD,
SIR, THIS town, relying on your ability and integrity, have chosen you to represent them in the General Court of this Commonwealth the present year. This year, some of the most important concerns of the United States are to be transacted; and in which our General Court will soon take a very interesting part, (viz.) the appointment of Electors of President and Vice-President of the United States. That even one elector should be appointed who is likely to give his vote for a man to be President or Vice-President, who has, from the press in the most public manner, given his opinion, that it is quite indifferent whether a man believes that there are "twenty Gods or no God," and adds this as a reason (viz.) "it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg," must be a painful consideration to every serious mind. And that there is any prospect, that any man of atheistical or deistical principles will be chosen into either of those important places of trust, is still more alarming. Therefore to prevent, (if possible,) a calamity so much to be dreaded, every precaution becomes necessary. And as the General Court at their next session, are to choose Electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, you are instructed to do all in your power to prevent any person being chosen an Elector of President and Vice-President, who even suspect will give his vote for any man of an atheistical or deistical character, or for any man that will vote for the author of Jefferson's Notes on Virginia."
NEW-HAMPSHIRE, [6.]—To the Editor.
"Concord, Nov. 26.—The Legislature has this moment completed the choice of Electors of President and Vice-President. They are:—"
The Hon. OLIVER PEABODY, JOHN PRENTICE, BENJAMIN BELLOWES, EBENEZER THOMPSON, ARTHUR LIVERMORE, and TIMOTHY FARRAR, esq.
"On this choice, I feel a proud satisfaction, in congratulating the Federal Republicans of the United States. They are truly all "ADAMS and PINCKNEY Electors."
Thus far our correspondent.—In the above list we recognize some of the most eminent men of New-Hampshire. Two or three of them are Judges of the Supreme Judicial Court—one is Speaker of the House of Representatives—another is Treasurer of the State; and all are men who have sustained the highest offices with unfulfilled reputation.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
On Thursday last orations, praise and thanksgiving were offered up, in all the temples dedicated to the worship of almighty God, in the New England States. In this commonwealth, as far as we have been able to ascertain, the invitation of our excellent Chief Magistrate was universally accepted, and the clergy, in their prayers and discourses, paid their grateful and affectionate homage to the author of all good, for his distinguishing kindness to our forefathers and to us, in providing them a refuge from oppression, and protecting them when surrounded with innumerable dangers. In blessing them with civil liberty, and the light and influence of the gospel, and disposing them to nurture their posterity in the love of learning, virtue and rational freedom. In supporting us through the difficulties of the late revolution, and giving us wisdom to establish constitutions favorable to liberty and happiness. In preserving the administration of government, and preserving the important life of the Chief Magistrate of the Union: In exempting us during the last year, from the calamities of war, and from wasting sickness and every desolating judgment; and in succeeding the labors of the husband-man, and crowning the year with its fruits; and for that degree of protection and prosperity which has been pleased to afford to our commerce, navigation and fishery: For the progress of literature and the useful arts; for the numerous bounties of his Providence and all that variety which supports or delights our lives; and especially for the blessing of the gospel of his son, who has brought life and immortality to light. On these subjects of thanksgiving, and which their precepts and examples have been so instrumental in preserving. The clergy amply dilated; and inculcated, the morals and applications of their discourses, those principles and duties which, under the smiles of Heaven, will perpetuate the blessings we enjoy. The time did not call forth the exercise of their right, on these occasions, to denounce from their pulpits the arts, intrigues and designs of factious men; or the "diplomatic skill" of foreign nations;—But when the times do call for the exercise of it, knowing their independence and patriotism, we know they will not shrink from their duty; fearless of the persecutions they may suffer therefrom; or the abuse which they know will continue to be poured on them. They must ere this, have learned to pity the meanness and inconstancy of their calumniators. They ought to feel suitably impressed with their importance and influence in society; and be determined, that it shall ever be said with truth.
That Eagles towering in their pride of place Have been by mousing owls hawk'd at, and killed."
On Tuesday arrived at Portland, ship Thomas Russel, capt. Jackson, from Leghorn. She sailed from thence October 5. Mr. Tilden, who came in the ship, arrived in town on Wednesday evening. He informs, that the new armistice had been announced to the French and German armies in Italy. That the French were in possession of Lucca; That the inhabitants of Leghorn and its vicinity, appeared to detest the French most heartily—and determined, young and old, to oppose them, by every means in their power, if they should attempt the invasion of that place; That several piratical cruizers, were out from Corsica, and captured every vessel they could meet; among others, they lately took the Diana, Capt. Thomas, of Boston; but he had the good fortune to retake her vessel. A great number of American vessels have recently entered the Mediterranean; and have reduced the markets in most of the ports in that sea. The Thomas Russel, sold her cargo at Genoa. The Boston of Boston was at Leghorn, intending for Naples. The Hibernia and Tamerlane, were at Genoa. Trio had arrived at Leghorn. The Thomas Russel, spoke no vessels on her homeward passage.
The French prisoners made by the capture of the Berceau, have been landed at Fort Independence. The Officers we understand, have been admitted to parole, and are now in town. Several gentlemen of this town, by subscription, have presented the prisoners with a quantity of the best provisions of the season, to afford them a "Thanksgiving Entertainment."
NEW-YORK, December 4.
The American Envoys to France took leave of the First Consul on the fourth day of October. It is judged necessary to mention that circumstance, because, in transferring the article for the Mercantile Advertiser of Tuesday morning, we stated that the ceremony took place about mid-day of the twelfth. To make this erroneous statement were the appearance of probability, the printers of the other papers altered either the date of the article, or the time of taking leave, each according to his own particular judgment. The fact is, the convention was signed on the 11th, the entertainment was given on the 12th, and the Envoys took leave on the 12th—but it was the month Vendemiaire, of the Republican calender, corresponding with 1st, 3d, 4th of October. They were at Havre on the 8th.
It is said the Pennsylvania Legislature have passed the Electoral Bill, agreeably to the Senate's Bill of 8 and 7. The Democrats here don't like this—their imprecations are louder against the lower house than they were against the Senate. These fellows there's no pleasing them.
Some of Jefferson's friends still hope—they hope that some of the Federal Electors may have dropped Pinckney.
It is honorable to the citizens of Philadelphia, that after making generous contributions to the inhabitants of those places which have suffered by the yellow fever, there still remains, unappropriated, upwards of 2000 dollars.
Extract of a letter received from a master of an American vessel carried into New Providence, dated
New Providence, Nov. 3.
"I found here a number of American vessels belonging to different ports sent in, in consequence of a late order to stop and condemn all Spanish produce, or manufacturers of an enemy's country."
LANCASTER, Dec. 3. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
At length the great question which agitated the public mind, is decided. The House of Representatives of this state have agreed to the last bill on this subject, from the Senate. In consequence of this the two Houses met yesterday in Convention in the Chamber of the House of Representatives. The Speaker of the Senate presided. Eight persons were nominated on each side. The federal nomination consisted of Frederick Kuhn, Jas. Armstrong, George Ege, Robert Coleman, John Hubley, William Hall, Samuel W. Fisher, and James Crawford, sen. Those nominated on the democratic side, were Robert Whitehill, Samuel Wetherill, John Kean, Jonas Hartzell, Gabriel Heister, Presley Carr Lane, Nathaniel B. Boileau, & Isaac Van Horne. As by the bill only seven of the Senate's nomination were to be appointed electors, the democrats all opposed Mr. Coleman, and he was consequently thrown out.
BALTIMORE, December 3.
Notwithstanding the late and severe calamities which have fallen with such ruthlessness on our city, it appears to derive new life and vigor from every blow, and become a greater object to distant as well as neighbouring districts. Our markets now vie, in plenty, variety, and cheapness with any to be found. 308 market waggons and carts were counted by the market-master at half past 10 o'clock this morning; and at 7 o'clock, he thinks there must have been nearly 400!!
RALEIGH, November 25.
The Legislature on Tuesday last, made choice of Thomas Rogers, William Hill, and K. Love, Esq's. for engrossing clerks, and on Thursday, voted Mr. Joseph Gales, public printer. Nothing of importance has yet occurred in the Assembly.
Was executed at Fayetteville, on Friday last, pursuant to sentence, John Rogers, for the murder of his brother-in-law.
A bark house containing 60 hides, &c, belonging to Mr. Christopher, of this place, was burnt to the ground on Saturday evening last.
ANNAPOLIS, [M.] December 1.
On Thursday last, an important question was to be argued before the Legislature of this State. There are upwards of 130 applications for the benefit of an insolvent law. A memorial signed by 113 merchants, &c. of Baltimore, was sent to the house of Delegates, requesting to be heard by counsel in opposition to the petitioners: R. G. Harper Esq, was to appear in behalf of the merchants, and it is understood that he proposed to show that the bankrupt law of the United States, is the only mode by which a debtor can be released—Luther Martin Esq, was employed on behalf of the petitioners and would defend the validity of the State law.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lancaster, to the Editor of the Gazette of the United States, dated
Lancaster, December 3
"By the Lancaster Journal Extra, herewith transmitted, you will perceive that the Presidential election is over. We had expected some jacobin votes for Mr. Adams, under the idea that all attempts to raise the Monticello Chief would be useless. In this, however, we have been disappointed, and happily too;—for I am of opinion, that every thing supported by the Mushroom patriots will soon be withered beneath the shade of political orthodoxy."
The Federal THIRTEEN deserve the praises and the blessings of all America. They have checked the mad enthusiasm of a deluded populace, and the wicked speculation of designing demagogues. On reviewing the recent aspect of our political affairs, it may be figuratively said, they have saved a falling world. It is grateful intelligence to hear, that so far from losing the esteem of their constituents, their conduct is applauded by every real republican."
WEDNESDAY, December 3,
1 o'clock, P. M.
The electoral electors have met and have completed the election. The result of their votes is as follows:
 For Thomas Jefferson - - 8  Aaron Burr - - 8  John Adams - - 7  Charles C. Pinckney - - 7 
In the Boston papers it is mentioned, that in the First Western District Mr. Bacon, the Jacobin candidate is not elected. The whole number of votes was 2830. Mr. B. had 1406 and Mr. Williams 1261, and there were 43 scattering —It requires a majority of the whole number to be elected.
In the Second Southern District there is no choice—there were 523 scattering votes.
A gentleman not long since passing through the street, overheard another speaking very bad French; upon which he observed to a companion that the French ought in future to be classed among the dead languages why so; asked his friend because, replied the gentleman, it has just been murdered.
A fanatic Curate being requested to perform the last sad office for a dying young woman pressed her to believe, as a preparation to the beatific state that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven. I am safe then, replied the witty Patient, for I have been so long ailing, that I am nothing now, but skin and bones.
As the servant maid of Mrs. H. of the Dublin theatre, was following her mistress on a visit to Cork, where she had gone a few days before to join a swollown company, she was overtaken by three ruffians, who brutally violated the unfortunate girl. When she arrived at the theatre, the violated damsel ran immediately to her mistress behind the scenes, and told the dismal tale. At the conclusion of the story, Mrs. H. who was dressing for the Queen in Hamlet, exclaimed with a solemn voice, in the language of SHAKESPEAR
"Aye, it had been so with us, had we been there!"
A lady once asking a French Ambassador, who had resided a long time in Poland, whether it was true that the Polish ladies were as white and as cold as the snow, which covered their plains; he replied "It is so true, Madam, that I have often caught cold, by conversing with them."
THEATRICAL.
MR WAYNE. Although I have for a while suspended, I do not mean to drop the correspondence which I have begun with you. Allow me to offer you a few remarks upon the Comedy of Speed the Plough, which was represented for the first time on Monday evening last. This piece has been much spoken of, and the interest excited with respect to it, attended, at an early hour, a numerous and brilliant audience.
Like Morton's other dramatic productions, this play is diversified by serious and ludicrous incidents. The impudence of the spectators, is well sustained. The denouement is wisp up in a mystery, the most profound, and curiosity is excited, even to the last scene. In elegance of language, in purity of sentiment, in highly ludicrous situation, the author has succeeded. In the probability of his story, he has I think failed.
It may perhaps, be questioned, whether the gratification of the spectator be enhanced, by the deep mystery, which, during the first three acts, involves the character of his Philip Blandford. Were the cause of his mental depression unfolded at an earlier period, our interest would, probably, be equally awakened, by the contemplation of a mind conscious of a crime of the blackest dye.
The duration of his mystery, appears also to be too prolonged, a mind goaded by incessant suffering, would have worn out its perishable covering, in a much shorter space, than that of twenty years. The haggard eye would have been, long before that period, closed in death, or, would have resumed its wonted brightness, in proportion as the remembrances of conscience became gradually weaker. "Uninterrupted misery," says Lord Bolingbroke "has this good effect, as it continually torments, it finally hardens."
The author should also have given an interest to the character of Mornington, more suited to its importance in the conduct of his story; and in the concluding scene of the Drama, rapture at finding himself freed from the weight of guilt, which had so long oppressed him, would appear to be a more natural emotion, in Sir Philip Blandford, than an evolution of unappeased resentment.
But, although there be in this drama something to censure, its defects are amply atoned for by numerous beauties and excellencies of the first order. The character of Sir Philip is finely sketched: that of Farmer Altheld, is a finished portrait of uncommon excellence. The artist's ingenuity in Sir Philip's disguise, the interesting simplicity of Altheld, and the native energy of a mind struggling against the pressure of adverse circumstances, in Henry, are delineated with great truth and precision. The characters of the Handy's and of Dame Altheld, are productive of much comic effect; but, the dissolution of his Abel's marriage, is too direct an imitation of the concluding scene of Steele's comedy of the Funeral.
The performers exerted themselves to the utmost. To particularize their various excellencies, would compel me to claim too large a share in your paper.
The spectator of Speed the Plough, at the New-Theatre, will have little cause to regret, that he does not witness its performance, on the boards of Covent Garden. It should also be remarked, that, there was a degree of correctness both in the dialogue and stage-direction, which is too rarely witnessed at a first representation. It was received with distinguished applause; and will, no doubt, prove attractive on many future nights during the present season.

(From vol. 2 of Burn's works.) THOU whom chance may hither lead, Be thou clad in russet weed He thou deck in lilkens fine Grave these maxims on thy foul Life is but a day at morn, A rough from night, in darkness lost; Hope not sunshine every hour; Fear not clouds will ever lour Happiness is but a name; Make content and ease thy aim. Amidst it is a meteor gleam; Fame an idle, restless dream. Peace, the tent's soft flower of spring; Pleasures, insects on the wing. Thy self that sip the dew alone, Make the interstices thy own; Those that would the bloom devour, Crush the locusts, save the flower For the future be prepar'd. Guard, wherever thou canst guard; But, thy utmost duty done, Welcome what thou canst not shun. Follies past give thou to air Make their consequence thy care; Keep the name of man in mind, And dishonor not thy kind, Reverence with lowly heart, Him, whose wondrous work thou art. Keep his goodness still in view, Thy trust and thy example too Stranger, go! h'aven be thy guide Quoth the Beadle of Nith-side.
The following singular account of a phenomenon which appeared in the air near the village of Quintana, in the province of Burgos, in Spain, is given in the Paris papers, as an extract from the Journal of Madrid, of the 7th July:—
"At 11 o'clock in the morning of the 11th of June, a stormy cloud was seen at the extremity of the village of Quintana, towards the north, & a very thick fog which seemed to proceed from the adjacent mountains having joined it in a very short time, they formed together a very fantastic figure, with arms, feet, and a long tail. The resemblance of a very large serpent, of a sky blue colour, was soon after plainly discerned as proceeding from the junction of the cloud and fog which extended itself so far as to touch the earth. It emitted from time to time torrents of fire of a dark red colour, and at length separated itself from the cloud in the direction of the village, with frequent eruptions of flames and sparks of fire. The inhabitants were very much terrified, but a violent gale from the north separated it in the southern extremity, while the greater part advanced within 400 paces of the village."
"It was seen to tear up in its passage several large stones and trees. In particular a very large oak was first stripped of its leaves and afterwards torn up by the roots. It destroyed all the cherry and apple trees in its way, and burnt up the ground over which it passed for more than sixty paces. This singular phenomenon continued its depredations for about 25 minutes, and then again joined the cloud out of which it came. The damage which it did to the vineyards is very considerable."
This account is given upon the authority of the Curate of the village, and several respectable inhabitants who were eye witnesses of the transaction.

INSURRECTION!
In Tumult, Violence, and Insurrection do not take place in the Western Country the fault cannot be attributed to HUGH H. B. ACKLAND. It is said the Governor has already regretted the appointment of this Judge—After a perusal of the following Letter what will his opinion be of the Head and Heart of the author?
[Pittsburgh Gazette.]
ALEXANDER ADDISON, President etc.
SIR, Looking over your Extract from a charge delivered to the Grand Jury of Crawford County, October Sessions, 1800, which wags, or adversaries have induced you to publish, I find myself disposed to make some observations. Whether this charge be INDICTABLE or IMPEACHABLE, I shall leave to the Legislature, or Attorney General of the State. But, it certainly cannot be prudent in a Judge, by departing from the subject of official duty to subject himself to have his veracity from the Bench, with impunity, called in question. I allude to the general train of the Charge, but more especially to the following paragraph, viz. "All who know what Arts were used, by some interested individuals, to promote the Election of the present Governor. They said that if Mr. McKean were elected Governor, he would abolish the excise, the stamp act, the land tax, the standing army, and the Alien and Sedition laws. Those who printed and repeated those tales knew them to be false. But they effected their purpose: He was elected. The implication necessarily carries with it two things."
1st. That the election of the present Governor, was the result, not of fair opinion, but of falsehood, and fraud; and 2d. That the people to whom your charge was delivered, were the accomplices, or dupes of the misrepresentation. In this last point of view, it astonishes me, and is a strong proof of the love of order, and respect for the laws among the people, that under a sense of the groundless and degrading LIBEL, they were not fired with sudden indignation, AND DID NOT DRAG YOU FROM YOUR SEAT, AND TREAD YOU UNDER FOOT. The libel was calculated for people at a distance; but it required a face as hard as ebony or horn, to stand up and express it, where the contrary was so well known. On the part of the Governor elect, the error was excess of scrupulous honour, and delicacy, in supposing his election.
On the Arts of which you speak, I never heard before. Whether they are the indigenous offspring of your own brain, or imported from your association, I am at a loss to say. But be that as it may, it is notorious in this country, where I write, and address you, that they had no existence. However much you may be disposed to undervalue the understanding of the people, there is not so great a fool, from Lake Erie to Dixie's Line; from the D. to the Beer Sheba, of the citra-montane settlement, as to be imposed upon by any such means.
As the district had been long ago surfeited with your Metaphysics; politico-theologico-juridico charges, so it had been thought, that you were yourself satisfied, with the applause, real or imaginary; which you had excited; more especially as you had at last, got them in a book, and in a fair way to travel, by subscription, to some distance. But, not the love of fame, but a sense of duty, led you to this task. Ah, man! if you knew the reverse effect of your endeavours! That nothing could be more calculated to shock the public mind, and disgust, than your homilies; nothing more likely to bring about an INSURRECTION, by opposite means to the first; That, by yielding to popular opinion, or flattering it; This, by intolerant abuse; official contempt, and degrading insult.
But you must lecture, you must declare your sentiments. Have you not seen our paper in which every animal from the buffalo to the gicket-cat, has, of late, been accustomed to EXPRESS itself? Or, if you must harangue, cannot you do it, out of Court? Is there not the vacation? Must you have the BENCH? Is there not a stone step or a horse block to stand upon. A half barrel or a keg to put your legs in?
"Henry's gilt tub; M'Fleckno's Latin caustics diendit cannot be exhausted. Does no person ever tell you how much you expose yourself? But if they did, what credit would you give! You have no self-examination; no retro-action of mind. You think on one side. I have laboured hard to get you to know yourself. I have watched over you as a patient, to see if the inflammation was reduced; if gentle plebotomy had been sufficient. The more powerful remedies must come. Your audacity increases, your impudence multiplies in time and space. It was not enough for you to 'corrupt' the minds of the young Counsel of your district by engaging them to sign and circulate your libels. It was not enough for you to oppose age and services in the election of a Governor; and in the course of this opposition, to show yourself in almost every shape; andancy and indecency; but, now that the majesty of the people has decided, you must endeavour with your corrupt opinion, to corrupt the opinion of others, resolving his election into fraud and false suggestions; in your Judicial capacity, and struggling to bring into disrepute, and render unpopular his administration; a high crime and misdemeanor in law; contra bonos mores; a breach of civility and decorum; and, in every possible respect, blamable, and offensive."
"Propagating lies" are the terms you use, a language which marks your want of natural delicacy, or your low breeding. But the men dax infamia is your own; you are a calumniator of the body politic; you are a defamer of Pennsylvania.
You will wonder at the severity of my expressions, and be disposed to think that something strongly personal, must enter into the composition of my indignation. How far a recollection of personal insult or injury may inflame a sense of public indignities unknown and imperceptible to the sensibility, it is impossible to say. But so far as I know myself and am conscious of the actions of my mind, the present impressions and expressions are the offspring of a sense of the wrongs of society. As to what relates to myself, I reserve for a more SOLEMN OCCASION. In the mean time I am Sir,
Your most Obedient, Humble Servant, H. H. BRACKENRIDGE.
...suggestions; in your Judicial ca... ...determining the executive authority, and struggling to bring into disrepute, and render unpopular his administration; a high crime and misdemeanor in law; contra bonos mores; a breach of civility and decorum; and, in every possible respect, blamable, and offensive."
