TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIME, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1805.
The present dearth of intelligence, obliges us to present a paper this day of less interest than we could wish, but the packets from New York and Baltimore, having anticipated the last mail, we have nothing to add to the stock of intelligence published in our two last papers. We have but little expectation that the mail of this day (even should it bring any thing worth notice) will arrive in time to enable us to profit by it.
We have been requested by several respectable friends to say, that a MUSIC MASTER, particularly for teaching the PIANO FORTE, would meet with great encouragement in this Borough.
The good effect of arming our ships, may be instanced in the case of the small fleet from Port-au-Prince (vide Mariné Memoranda.) We understand that the force of the fleet was two ships of 20 guns, and several schooners from 4 to 8 guns, it was encountered by only one of those pirates whose depredations are so degrading to our national character, and ruinous to our commerce. But this marauder soon found that he was not to get his plunder, with the same ease as he had expected so seize upon our defenceless merchantmen.
Our readers will perhaps wish to hear what the AURORA has to say upon the present state of politics in Pennsylvania.
The following articles appear to be written with evident marks of despondency. THIS UNION OF HONEST MEN, has ruined the cause of democracy. Indeed the Democrats appeared to have a presentiment that the union of honest men would be fatal to them, for from the moment that Col. BURN, announced that sentiment, they have never ceased to persecute him; he has ever since been the object of their suspicion and detraction.
FROM THE AURORA.
The Constitutionalists have carried their inspectors in all the townships of the counties of Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware.
The federalists and third party men have carried their inspector in every township in the district of West Chester.
THE UNION OF HONEST MEN.
We had proposed maintaining a rigid silence until the election should have determined the fact—the complete success of Mr. Dallas and Mr. Lewis's union of honest men.—Our forbearance is not more satisfactory than our notice, our silent contempt is worse than our open abhorrence.
The question is now no longer between democrats and quids —the old party designations uttered by Mr. McKean of traitors, Tories and apostate whigs —the great party name which bore with it some character on account of that name, and some respect even for the prejudices which were naturally attached to certain truths covered by that name—these are now no longer the characteristics of the names of parties—there are only two parties, for those who were federalists have identified themselves with the quids , they have relinquished all that could give them any shadow of dependence on publick confidence, and have condescended to the conditions of admission into the ranks of a little faction, the price of which is a subscription to the truth and the shame of all the reproaches heretofore heaped upon them.
An union upon principles of such publick depravity , is at once an honour to those who glory in republican principles, and a warning to be watchful, in the preservation of their liberties—where there are so many corrupt , and where the open enemies and the pretended friends of the democracy can unite—then is it incumbent on the really freemen—the sincere friends of liberty to rally and to march forward to the polls with the unity and power of the republican phalanx.
Republicans—you have slept in security—you have been deceived by the pretended squabbles of a vulgar lawyer and a less vulgar opponent —the known gagging of Lewis the lawyer, has excited the contempt of his party, and you conceived that their contempt for him, would disarm their hatred for you or your principles—you have reposed in the country while they have collected their whole force in town—the melancholy of the weather and the existence of disease have been alike ineffectual in restraining them—you have with regard to your families and lives, remained in the country.
The consequence has been, that in the little election , or choice of inspectors, the union of honest men have elected their candidates in nine wards out of fourteen —but their complexion, and the complexion of the votes at once declare what this is owing to.
In Chestnut ward (in which this paper is published) the votes were for inspectors 155.
The votes were for inspectors:— Democrats - - - - - 41 Fed's - - - - - 104 } The union of } 145 Quids - - - - - 105 } honest men, } 114
155
This little election , though it does not determine the election of the 8th of October, proves that those who respect the principles of the government, must not sleep over them nor expect that they are to be carried and sustained by argument alone —the thief who steals your property is not deterred so much by the bible as by a blunderbuss—and he who is opposed to your principles does not rely upon force of truth but upon force of falsehood.
These truths every man must now feel —those who slumbered in confidence and never suspected (after all experience) the candour of federalists , find now that it is vain to depend on any professions of men who disregard principles—and that a complete turn out to the poll is necessary now as it was in 1800.
Turn out now or submit to be like the slaves of Europe, hewers of wood and drawers of water to an unfeeling and faithless aristocracy.
Turn out now in your might—and you turn out M c Kean .
Turn out now and you secure some respect for your suffrages.
That our readers in places remote may understand the union of the parties at this little election, we shall designate the political characters chosen by marks appropriate to the several parties.
* Democrats. † Fed's. ‡ Quids. INSPECTORS CHOSEN. Upper Delaware * Joseph Galle, † Isaac Jones.
Lower Delaware, † David Jackson, † Gilbert Gaw, † Joseph Price, † James Cruckshank, Chesnut, † Thomas Parker, † Ephraim Clarke, Walnut, † Samuel Smith, † James Kerr, Dock, † Jos. S. Lewis, † Rob. Oakley, New Market, † Martin Riser, † James Thackara, North Mulberry, † Jacob Colliday, † Henry Sailer, South Mulberry, † Thos. Bradley, † Alex. Ramsey, North ward, † Geo. Bringhurst, † Jos. Blame, Middle, †† Henry Kennedy, † Lewis Walker, South, †† Conrad Hanse, † John Hallowell, Locust, †† Jacob Harman, † Jesse Williams, Cedar, †† Benn. Gardner, †† Wm. Johnston.
From this it appears that there have been elected of 28 inspectors of election—
Democrats, - - - - - 8 Federalists, - - - - - 12 Quids, - - - - - 8
The union of honest men exerted its whole combined force, in the Northern Liberties, and gave a greater number of votes than was known on any similar election—the honest men however were minus .
We copy the following article, in order to remind those now in power, of the injustice of their complaints, against the officers of government under the federal administrations. Then, if by private business or publick calamity the officers of government were a moment absent, the people were told that their business was neglected. It is to be hoped that those gentlemen are now convinced that though they are publick servants, they require a little relaxation, and that some attention is necessary to their private concerns.
Where is our government? —It can hardly be forgotten, that in the year 1793, when the calamities of pestilence rendered it necessary to remove the offices of the government out of the city of Philadelphia, great clamour was raised by the democrats, because the President and heads of departments did not keep together in one place. We were every day informed of the amount of salary drawn by these officers as a compensation for devoting their time to the service of the people, and yet that they were on that occasion so separated as to render it extremely inconvenient to transact business with them. They were accused of deserting their posts; abdicated the government; cheating the publick out of the amount of their salaries, etc. etc. We should now be glad to know of these watchful guardians of the people's rights, whether the duties of publick officers have materially changed since that time; whether their salaries have been reduced; or whether any new principle has been introduced and sanctioned excusing the officers of the administration from devoting their time to the service of the publick. Unless some such change has taken place, how are we to account for the uniform absence of almost every publick officer from the seat of government during the recess of congress? There has not been a single summer, since Mr. Jefferson came into power, that the President and heads of departments have not been dispersed into different and remote parts of the country, though they have never been driven away by the terror of yellow fever.
During the whole of the present summer the publick mind has been agitated with a variety of important transactions which required the continual vigilance of government, and on which it was the undoubted duty of the administration to give some publick information. Yet all that we have been able to hear from the man of the people , is that he has quietly retired to his mountain where he remains as snug, and as silent as though he had nothing to do but to receive his five and twenty thousand dollars a year; unless, indeed, when he gets a letter from Captain Lewis, with a present of prairie dogs or magpies: then the official paper is set at work, and the publick are called upon to admire the wonders of Louisiana. But while nothing more interesting occurs than the blockade of two or three of our ports; or the failure of a negotiation set on foot for the recovery of property of which our citizens have been plundered; or for settling our title to a district of country for which we have paid fifteen millions of dollars; or an alleged order to seize and confiscate our property contrary to the law of nations; the intelligence is left to find its way to those concerned through newspapers, extracts of letters, and uncertain rumours.
Our merchants have recently been sorely embarrassed by new and, as has been supposed, illegal restrictions upon their commerce. In such cases they wish to consult the government, in the first place to know, officially, the real state of facts and in the second, to be informed whether any and what steps will be taken for their protection. Upon inquiring where such applications are to be made, they learn that it is not convenient to the publick officers, in summer , to have any government. It is true there is a President somewhere in the mountains of Virginia; a secretary of state in Philadelphia; a secretary of the treasury in the western parts of Pennsylvania, &c. &c.—But in order to do business it is necessary that these officers should consult together; that there should be an interchange of the information which may be lodged in the respective departments, as well as an interchange of sentiments and opinions resulting from that information. Every one must perceive that nothing of this kind could take place in the present dispersed condition of the administration. The only advantage therefore, which we the people can derive from having a government during the summer months is, that we have an opportunity of sending applications to the City of Washington where no doubt, they will safely repose until it may please the administration to return there to spend the winter and receive their salaries.
THE YEARLY MEETING'S EPISTLE, 1805.
To the quarterly and monthly meetings of Friends in Great Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere.
Dear Friends, We trust that, through the continued mercy and assistance of the head of the church, we have not met in vain in this our annual assembly; because, in contemplating the present state of our religious society, we have been enabled to attend to various subjects in which its welfare is involved, with calm deliberation, with the warmth of love, and with much harmony of mind. Some of the views which have at this time opened before us we shall briefly attempt to unfold to you; sustaining you, as we cordially do, in the love of our holy Redeemer and Preserver.—Friends, on all occasions, in every strait, in heights and in depths, seek to him, retire to him; let the advancement of his cause be your primary pursuit; and count it as a privileged inestimable to be numbered among his lowly-minded followers.
We have received epistles from all the yearly
meetings of our North American brethren; also one from Ireland. On the American Continent, our Friends appear, in their collective capacity, to be steadily pursuing the path of apprehended duty in the cause of righteousness; and, amidst all the discouragement which they, as well as we in this land, have met with, from cruel avarice, in pleading the cause of the oppressed Africans, it still lies near to their hearts, and a firm, forcible, yet cool remonstrance on behalf of that people, has been not long since presented to the general legislative body of the American States. The dismal subject of the slave trade, the source of accumulating misery to Africa, of accumulating guilt to Britain, and of continued reproach to the holy religion, which, in common with our countrymen, we profess, has also claimed our sympathy in this meeting: and we desire our friends may be individually prompt to entertain for these our fellow men the sensations of pity which on various occasions may arise. Where, friends, shall we find a juster cause of regret, than to see a nation professing Christianity, pouring forth from her harbours numerous equipments, not designed to improve and exalt, but to degrade, enslave, and consign to misery, those very nations, to which in recompense for ages of injury and insult, she owes the benefits of brotherly kindness and Christian example.
The usual accounts which we have received from the several quarterly meetings in Great Britain, denote that all are not steadily concerned to walk as becomes the simplicity of our profession. We have been introduced into concern of mind on this account, and have endeavoured to administer some remedy for the complaint; but we desire also to acknowledge that we find room for encouragement in the number of lively and judicious friends still preserved and qualified for labour, of others (thanks to the Shepherd and Bishop of souls) still arising from among our beloved youth. To both these we would say, hold on your way, and may your hands be strong, as your reward is sure.
The amount of sufferings this year in Great Britain and Ireland is ten thousand eight hundred and eleven pounds. Demands of a military nature have occasioned about sixteen hundred pounds of it; and one friend has borne his testimony by suffering three months imprisonment.
Now, dear friends, hear, we beseech you, the word of exhortation. What hinders the advancement of our society in its Christian progress seeing the holy High Priest of our profession is willing to lead us to complete sanctification? What but the carnal mind, operating in various and in specious forms? We do not tax all who embark in large concerns of trade, with an undue desire after riches; but we much fear that the effect, which their schemes are likely to have upon themselves and their connexions, as affecting their condition, both religious and civil, is not duly regarded. The love of money, is said in scripture to be the root of all evil; and we believe it may be shown, that honest industry and moderation of desire are roots of incalculable benefit to the humble Christian. We feel for many of our friends in limited circumstances, in this day of increased, and possibly increasing expense; but we would caution such, and particularly those who are setting out in life, against imitating the manner of living of those whose means are more abundant. We wish, friends, to call you not to penuriousness, but economy; and we particularly desire, that all such that have families of children, even if in more affluent circumstances, would inure them to early industry, and not to habits of depending too much on the services of domesticks. For this latter and useful class, we also desire to plead, and to request those who have the privilege of ability to employ them, to sympathize with them in their labours, to delight to render them happy, and even to seek for that disposition that can lead them along as fellow travellers in the road to the city of God. Various are the means by which this may be attempted. The principal one certainly is, the keeping of the mind attentive to the discoveries of truth; but seeing, we doubt not, that a perusal of the Scriptures is the frequent employ of many families, we desire that the servants may be made partakers of the benefits resulting from the practice, and from occasional opportunities of retirement in spirit.
Indeed we are afresh engaged to press upon friends a diligent acquaintance with the sacred records, and a diligent endeavour to store the minds of their tender offspring with the great truth of christian redemption. In so doing you may implant in the susceptible and retentive minds of your children, principles of preservation against the temptations of future life; and resemble those of old time, who, smitten with the power and goodness of the Lord of Life and Glory, when personally on earth, are said to have bro't with divine approbation, little children to Christ. Thus induced with a knowledge of the wonderful effects of heavenly love, which the evangelists relate, they will be prepared also to receive his spiritual appearance in their hearts, according to our holy profession; as well as duly to appreciate, and delight in the records of the Christian faith and practice of our pious predecessors. With their history also we think it important that our youth should be more acquainted than we fear many are. It is a history abounding with examples of what the love of Christ is able to effect, in doing, or in suffering. It is a practical comment on the words of the great apostle: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
On the calamitous subject of war, we do not feel much now to say. Friends you are not ignorant of what adorns our profession, with respect to this subject—Only this would, we say, make it not a topic of conversation. Guard against placing our independence on fleets and armies; be peaceable yourselves, in words and actions; and pray to the father of the universe that he would breathe the spirit of reconciliation into the hearts of his erring, and contending creatures.
Friends, seek peace and pursue it. Ye are called to love. O that the smallest germ of enmity might be eradicated from our enclosure! And verily there is a soil in which it cannot live; but naturally withers and dies. This soil is Christian humility; a state highly becoming and indispensable, for a being who depends continually on the favour of his Lord; a state in which of all others he can most acceptably approach his presence; and a state which naturally conducts frail men to love and compassion, for the companions of his frailty and poverty, yet his fellow-partakers of the offered riches of the gospel.
Dear friends, we believe that the Lord's goodness is still towards his people; and that his language to them yet remains to be similar to that, which of old was conveyed by the prophet, "O that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always; that it might be well with them and their children forever."

From the Frederick Town Herald. Nothing New.—We have for some time allotted a part of each paper to detailing some of the losses and injuries experienced by our merchants, and to day
we add a few more, full as outrageous as any hitherto noticed, to the long catalogue. The sentiments excited by these details are truly honourable to our citizens. All agree that a speedy termination should be put to these spoliations: that something more effectual should be done than has been done. But that this will be the case, we very much doubt, while the present "lord high admiral" commands. His sum-mum bonum and the object to which all his "energies" seem directed is to extend his "wide spread" by the purchase of more wild lands. And to this end, he has lately purchased several hundred thousand acres, for which the people are to pay 22,000 dollars and an annuity of 100 dollars to the chief of the nation from whom it was purchased. Some of his creatures to show how cunning their master is, and how dextrous he is at bargain making, tells us, that the chief is very old and cannot live long. When not, but this we know, that long before the purchase of Louisiana, Mr. Jefferson told us we had a "room enough for our descendants to the hundredth and thousandth generation." We ask then why lay ott so many millions in purchasing moiré. Would it not be wiser to expend some of this money in building and maintaining a few stout frigates for protecting our commerce. But Mr. Jefferson has long had an antipathy to merchants, and in his Notes on Virginia he tells us, that "merchants are useless, and mechanicks are the vile tools of their customers;"—that it would be better for us to " abandon the ocean altogether , to leave to others to bring what we shall want and to carry what we can spare: and that it will be time enough to seek employment at sea, when, the land no longer offers it." Such were the avowed sentiments of Mr. Jefferson long before even he himself could have had any idea of becoming President, and precisely in the same spirit is his present conduct towards this class of citizens. All their sufferings and all their wrongs he heeds as little as the "idle wind."
FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER. TO THE FEDERALISTS OF AMERICA.
"Make unto yourselves friends of the Mammon of Unrighteousness"
When I address myself particularly to you, let it be understood that I mean you no particular compliment. I bear not to any party the least partial regard. I owe them no debt; and I confess no bond whatsoever to exist between you and me, more than that which every citizen of the United States would, if he were wise enough to discern what was good for their country, and honest enough to own it, acknowledge to subsist between him as an unit of this five millions of people, and you as the depositors and defenders of the only sound, wise, and honest political principle which has ever been broached in this commonwealth since it wrested from the parent state, the right of governing itself—a principle not confined to the solitary purposes of self-direction, but making a part of the great universal order of things, under which the civilized world has grown up progressively in virtue, and by which, in fact, it has become so civilized. In defence and support of the principle to which I allude—federalism—I have stood, and will stand firm, because it has a tendency to interweave itself with the well-consulted and long-experienced interests of enlightened man, and (like the great tree, of which it is a scion, enriched and improved by ingraftment on the sturdy stock of independence) seeks to extend its branches beyond the circle that it shades, and to mix them with those which give shelter, salubrity, and refreshment, to the old world—not because it is the hobby horse of this man, or the well-digested opinion of that—not because the good men of a party piously and sincerely venerate it as the parent and best protector of publick virtue, and cherish it as the saving health of their country—nor because the designing men grasp at it as a ladder for their ambition; but because, be it called by what name, or cherished or opposed by what men, or what party it may, it is like truth itself, unalterably good, and can undergo no change in its nature, no increment, or diminution in its value, either from the virtue of those who maintain it, or from the turpitude of those who would destroy it: And it is because you, gentlemen, (no matter by what name distinguished, or by what motives actuated) have kept the post of that principle, I now address you. It is my determination to hold to you with inflexible fidelity, the same language of stubborn truth which I have ever held, as candidly and firmly as I should hold it to your adversaries. It would tarnish the cause which I espouse, and might justly subject me to the suspicion of unworthy motives, if I were to make the preposterous, incredible assertion, that I believe your party are pure of all private views—that you have not among you men of ambition, men of avarice, and men of views more selfish than social patriotism—that the purposes which are vulgarly, and with tiresome and disgusting repetition, denominated "the loaves and fishes," are entirely unknown to you—or that you are all perfect men's flesh to the temptations of power. Let changelings believe such things—I cannot. Let knaves and sycophants defy and dress up your party in as many attributes as the knaves and sycophants of an adverse denomination dress up their golden calf—Far from me be such trash—Far from my mouth and from my pen be such foul, dishonest incense—the fulsome effusion of hearts, from nature or wild habit, lewd in the course of dishonour. You are men—and as men subject, each in his mode and degree, to the passions, prejudices, and appetites, common to our race; as such, my opinion of you is, and ever shall be, grounded upon fact—not upon faith. My trust shall be, as those of the publick ought to be, scrupulously proportioned to the pledges you have given—and if, like your adversaries, you should endeavour to cheat by false pretences, by attempting to pawn badly lacquered brass for gold, or stained glass for emeralds, I would be among the first to drag you to the bar, and prosecute you before the tribunal of the publick, for political fraud and swindling.
But while nothing can be more remote from my thought, than to think you either spotless or infallible, I am compelled in justice to think far more favourably of you than of any other body of men in the country—I mean politically. Your past conduct constrains me to do so; and so long as you preserve inviolate the principles you have hitherto maintained, such support as I can afford shall be yours: nor shall that support be diminished, though I should perceive in your conduct a moderate alloy of human infirmity; because I do not expect you to be more than men. A dash of ambition shall not detract from it, provided it be the laudable ambition of transmitting your names as faithful servants and benefactors to your country. Office and emoluments are sterling honours when bestowed for merit, and discharged with integrity; and since offices must be filled, emolument annexed to the discharge of them, it would be absurd to say that the possession of them blemishes the patriot's fame. I shall therefore be pleased to see you obtain those things, provided you do not obtain them by trick; and much as I wish the internal enemies of the commonwealth to be put down by you, I should protest against you, if you effected it, as they effected the overthrow of your party, by fraud, falsehood, imposture, or popular delusion.
Thus the matter stands between us.—For a long time you have, by the intrigues and evil doings of wicked men, been so entirely shut out from all share in the publick concerns, that to advise you what to do, or exhort you to action, would have been little

better than uncivilly reminding you of your inefficiency in the state. On that subject, therefore, I was silent, save a few occasional remarks upon the greatest political fault which I have perceived to touch your party, I mean an indolence that looked like apathy, or, as some would say, despair. You seemed to go upon scripture grounds, and to think that because black right enveloped the union, no man could work, and so betook yourselves to slumber. Let me be the harbinger of a new day. The dawn opens, and the sun, though still beneath the horizon, streaks the east of this political hemisphere with the crimson of a joyful morning. Awake, arise, prostrate yourselves before God whose fingers deck the Heavens, and before whose breath that glorious luminous rolls forward to cheer and enlighten once more this country with its beams. And with vows never to be broken, of purity, integrity and truth, and with prayers, fervent as those which dying penitents offer up for mercy, call down Heaven's blessings on your country, its light into your minds, its vigour into your hearts, and the direction of the most high to guide you. Then, rising from your knees, put into act the counsels with which Heaven shall inspire your hearts.
In shaping our conduct to the various cross incidents which occur in life, we find ourselves often compelled to dispense with the observance of general rules, and to attain the ends of morality by the violation of some of its maxims. The old moral apothegm, that "no end can justify bad means," is certainly founded in the depths of wisdom and virtue, as a general principle. It is a defect, not in moral science, but in the imperfect nature of man, that occasions do sometimes occur, which allow no alternative but that of using bad means to effect good ends, or else yielding up to perfect accomplishment ends infinitely more pernicious than the means by which the good might be attained. It is true that submitting moral question in general the decision of individual estimate, takes so much from salutary and certain moral law, and places it in the hands of capricious will, that it were better if possible, no relaxation should be ever opposed to the general efficacy of the maxim. But there are cases where the inordinate wickedness of some, particularly in great and important publick concerns, forbid obedience to the strict dogmas of private morality, and put men under the deplorable dilemma of doing either bad or worse. In such cases the evil of the means is ingulfed and lost in the immensity of the good obtained by them. Such is the dilemma in which you are at this moment placed. You can serve your country only by serving bad men. Bad means, no doubt! But then, remember, it is your country. Fastidiously and pertinaciously preserve the moral by declining those bad means, and what do you do? You resign your country to the desolation of jacobinism, can you hesitate?
After a calentine of five years continuance, during which your country has been convulsed, tortured, deteriorated in every moral part, and poisoned in every political vein (a calentine not visited by God or by Nature, but by half-bred doctors and unprincipled ignorant quacks, who introduced distemper to profit by managing it, and kept the malady alive in order to drain her pockets) a crisis has taken place, on the event of which depends her life or her extinction. The wicked quacks have become jealous of the half-bred doctors—they squabble about the treatment of their agonized patient, and in the throes and convulsions of her fever-burning frame, she calls out for help of the skilful and the honest—Fly to her relief!!!
To speak more distinctly, if you wish to rescue the union from following up France, in jacobinick revolution, through the whole train of horrors, disorganization, tumults, murders, and ultimate monarchical despotism, which you have all bleeding fresh before your eyes, for the last 15 years—throw your whole weight into the scale of M C LEAN and LEWIS, and crush the snake.
CORREGIDOR. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the suite of Colonel Hammond, to his friend in Augusta, (Geor.)
KASKASKIAS, eastern side of the Mississippi, Indiana territory, July 15, 1805.
On Sunday I arrived at this place in company with Col. Hammond, after one of the most fatiguing journeys perhaps ever performed through a country which might be said to be settled with Christians.
The vicissitudes which we have met with are almost innumerable. We have now come as well as I can be informed by my journal and other information about 850 miles, and were 46 days out to this place. There are very few parts of the western country I admire, the land is either mountainous or low and flat, the high land is healthy, and there is excellent water, but the manner in which it lies makes it difficult to cultivate. The low land is extremely fertile all kind of grain growing luxuriantly; the water however is intolerably bad. The only tract of country which seems desirable to settle in, is Cumberland tract, and Galatin, from which I last wrote you. There are vast numbers of prairies in this territory, they are level plains of from 2 to 12 miles square, scarce a twig or switch to be cut off them; grass grows to a great height; early of a morning, just as the sun dawns from the eastern hills it gives the prairies a beautiful appearance, and there being nothing but green grass, a diversity of flowers, with now and then a little clump of oaks—the prospect is always picturesque—always beautiful or grand. This country is badly watered—hence people are deterred from settling in the interior, and an act of congress preventing slavery, prevents emigrants, particularly those of opulence; it seems more than probable, that it will be years before there will be refinement of manners, or that the arts and sciences will flourish here. But a man who travels should leave all his prejudices behind him and not write his friend anything but what is correct. I must do the French the justice to say, that I believe they are much more honest and peaceable than the Americans of this place who seem to look upon a stranger as one whom they shall never see again, and think themselves privileged to pluck him. This place (Kaskaskia) was settled two years before Philadelphia, and the first bell ever imported in America. I have seen hanging in the Roman Church—although this place is now so desolate, it was once settled by a number of French of the first character and fortune. To see the low standing chimneys and large buildings tumbling into ruin makes me feel considerable regret, and must fill any person of sensibility with awe. The only tribe of Indians here, are the Kaskaskias they are about one hundred in number—and live in huts in the suburbs. I have just returned from seeing them, where I set a squaw to make me a pair of moccasins. They can produce about 40 or 50 warriors—are small Indians, and seem to be in a miserable situation. On Tuesday last, Col. Hammond, set out for St. Louis, leaving Mrs. Hammond, at Col. Edgars our wagons and horses are about four miles out of town at a place we got to rest the negroes at and to recruit the horses.
Gen. Wilkinson passed through here a few days before our arrival, and arrived at St. Louis on the 4th inst. The troops, citizens, and several hundred Indians, were drawn out and stationed at the foot of a high bridge where the general was to pass, to salute him on his arrival, with direction from the commanding officer not to fire a salute till he had crossed the bridge. But just as the general and his escort had got on the top, a bridge 30 or 40 feet high they
commenced a fire, which together with the yells of the Indians, threw the general, corps, and the officer's, &c. escorting him into a general confusion; several had liked to have been tossed off the bridge, but it is with pleasure I learned no accident of consequence had happened.
Loaf Sugar 17 1/2 cents per lb. Brown do. 1 do. per lb. Tea and coffee none. It was with difficulty the citizens could procure a few of those articles at St. Louis, for the entertainment given Gen. Wilkinson on his arrival, they had to give one dollar a pound for a barrel of brown sugar, which was all that was to be had in that city. I have not tasted tea nor coffee for many weeks past. Just as I was closing this letter, I received accounts from Col. Hammond, at St. Louis, he informs us, he has rented a house, and intends being with me here to-morrow. I omitted mentioning to you that we are a near neighbour of Mr. Bell, formerly of your city, he is much dissatisfied with this territory, and will leave this early in October next, for Georgia. The old gentleman is much respected here.
The following is the substance of a letter written by one of the British Captains in the action of the 22d July, in which is very clearly stated, the reasons which operated with admiral Calder, for not renewing the action. The subject is we confess nearly exhausted, but this statement being conclusive as to a fact much questioned, we have thought it would be acceptable to our readers.
From the Barbadoes Mercury, September 3.
By the ship Islam, Keyzar, of and from Liverpool, arrived here this morning, an authentic information has been received by rear-admiral Cochrane, of the victory gained by vice-admiral sir Robert Calder, over the combined fleets of France and Spain, off Ferrol, on the 22d July last; communicated in a letter from Captain Griffith, of his majesty's ship Dragon, to rear-admiral Cochrane, of which the following is nearly the substance.
Government having received information of the return of the combined fleets, and that their first object was to form a junction with their friends in Ferrol, gave orders for the raising the blockades of Rochefort and Ferrol, and for the two squadrons to proceed off Cape Finisterre, and there cruise for the enemy. Admiral Calder, when joined by admiral Stirling from Rochefort, had under him 15 sail of the line and two frigates: on the 22d at noon, the lookout-ship got sight of the enemy, consisting of 30 sail of men of war; the line was formed immediately, and the attack made with promptitude and decision. The enemy to windward and so thick a fog that no ship could see her opponent, except at intervals, it is scarcely possible to give an intelligible account of the action, as nothing could be distinctly seen; and it was equally impossible to bring on a close action; however, the battle (or rather scramble) lasted three hours, and the British squadron captured two of the Spaniards (the Raphael and Firma). The fleets continued in sight of each other two days after, the French neither flying or attempting to come again to action, but keeping under an easy sail; on our part, the disablement of some of our ships, and the possibility, or indeed strong presumption, that the Ferrol squadron, consisting of 12 sail of the line, would have put to sea to join their friends, rendered a renewal of the action, under such odds and such possibilities, inadvisable. The enemy bore away, as was supposed, for Ferrol; but Ferrol has since been looked into, and observed to be in statu quo; the enemy are therefore gone to the southward, and there is still the strongest ground for hope they will be intercepted by Lord Nelson, who, if he got off Cadiz (as he most certainly will) before them, would have formed a junction with admiral Collingwood, who has five sail of the line. Great things may yet reasonably be looked for. The British have renewed the blockades of Rochefort and Ferrol, with the identical ships that were in the action, with the exception of the Windsor Castle and Malta, which are gone home to repair, and have taken the prizes with them.
NEW-YORK, OCTOBER 3. Extract of a letter from captain Chase, of the ship Huntress, to his owners in Newburyport, dated London, August 9.
"Doubtless you will be surprised on opening this; but not more so than I feel aggravated in being compelled to address you from this city. After an agreeable passage until the morning of the 5th inst. at 4 o'clock, being then in sight of the island of Scourou, was brought too and boarded by the English frigate Amethyst, capt. Spranger, who, after detain me four hours, put eight men and a prize master on board, and ordered the Huntress for Yarmouth, where she arrived the 7th inst. from whence I proceeded immediately to this place, where I arrived yesterday."
"The only pretext the captain of the frigate assigned for sending me in was, that the greater part of the cargo was the produce of an enemy's colony, and that purchased and imported by an American into the United States did not neutralize the property—that of course when taken in this way was liable to confiscation; for which opinion he appealed to a late decision of Sir William Scott."
"On these grounds there are about 20 sail of Americans brought in and detained within a few weeks, and have been almost daily arriving. I have applied to the American consul and minister, who appear to be much surprised at the conduct of the British government—they further observe that they cannot conceive that government will ever establish the above as a principle. They further say that they think that government has not given any particular orders for these captures? it is however very uncertain what our fate will be, or how long before it will be determined: there have been no trials under similar circumstances with ours; what have been condemned, is where the importation has been in the same vessel in which it has been re-shipped, on which circumstance they lay great stress."
[N. B. The Huntress is a new ship, and on her first voyage.]
WASHINGTON CITY, October 4. The PRESIDENT of the United States arrived yesterday from Monticello.
Advices have been received from London by our government, as late as the 9th Aug. when our minister had introduced to the attention of the British government the subject of the recent captures of our vessels under the pretext of their being engaged in an illicit trade between the European and colonial possessions of the enemies of Great Britain.
TRIPOLITAN TREATY.
We understand, that independently of the articles which regulate the terms of peace with the bashaw of Tripoli, the arrangements of the treaty are extremely favourable to the U. S. The former are comprised in the 1st, 2d & 3d arts. which in substance stipulate the mutual delivery of prisoners, and the payment of 60,000 dollars to the bashaw, in consideration of the number in his hands exceeding, by the computed number of 200, those in the hands of the United States;—That the United States shall, as a consequence of the peace, withdraw their
forces from the dominions of Tripoli; that they shall use the means of persuasion to induce the brother of the bashaw to do the like; that they will cease to furnish supplies to the subjects of Tripoli in hostility; and that the bashaw shall deliver up to his brother his wife and children, in case of his withdrawing from the dominions of Tripoli.

RICHMOND, October 8. The celebrated match between Mr. Ball's Florizel and Mr. Tayloe's Peace-Maker, which has occasioned as much conversation as any other race that ever was contested in the United States and on which scarcely less than 30,000 dollars could have ventured, was run yesterday over the Broad Rock Course. The first heat was run in about 8 m. 6 s. the last in 8 m. 15 s.—Florizel gained both heats.
NEW-YORK, October 4. By a Paris paper of August 20, we learn that the Porte has recently concluded a treaty with Russia, by which it is stipulated, that the former shall give the free navigation of the Phasis in Mingrelia, and that the Russians shall occupy two forts on that river, in order to protect the navigation.—Com. Adv.
Office of the Board of Health, October 3. Since the last report have occurred 29 cases of the malignant fever, and 9 deaths.
LATE FROM EUROPE.
By the ship Factor, Capt. Caldwell, in 41 days from Greenock, (arrived yesterday at the port of New-York,) the editors of this Gazette have received Glasgow papers to the 22d of August, being several days later than the accounts before received from thence. An official account had been received by the English admiralty of the French and Spanish fleets having put into Ferrol, and that they had increased their force to 37 sail of the line. Several unsuccessful attempts to storm the fortress of Blurtore, in the East-Indies, were made by Gen. Lake. In these actions general Lake lost 3000 men.
LONDON, August 15. It is a well known fact, that every American vessel which has sailed for the Mediterranean for some time past, with English produce on board, has been captured by the Spaniards. It was not till Saturday last that this extraordinary circumstance could be accounted for by the underwriters, and for the discovery they are indebted to the following extract of a letter from vice-admiral Collingwood to William Marsden, Esq. dated off Cadiz, 26th July, and transmitted by him to the committee at Lloyd's:
"The Factor, American brig, from Liverpool, mentioned in the letters from Lloyd's as having a very valuable cargo on board, was spoken by the squadron within four leagues of Cadiz light-houses. I sent the Hydra to see her in safety thro' the Strait, without which she would probably have been taken by the gun boats, and which the master seemed to think a much less evil than proceeding on his voyage to Naples, and running the risk of being met by a Tripolitan. I have been informed the Spaniards give to neutrals laden with English property, every encouragement to put themselves in the way of their cruisers, by discharging them quickly, and paying their freight liberally."
"The American schooner Hermon is stated to have come off this port before the blockade, for the purpose of being taken; and, after condemnation of her cargo, was at sea again perhaps in less time than she could have performed her original voyage; so that they have both a pecuniary interest in being captured, and secure themselves from the danger of meeting the cruisers of Tripoli."
August 16.—We have at length obtained authentic, but unpleasant information, in regard to the combined French and Spanish squadrons. Yesterday at half past 7, P. M. his majesty's ship Hero, of 74 guns, Capt. Gardner, arrived at Portsmouth with dispatches from Sir Robert Calder stating that the combined fleet had got into Ferrol. With the ships which joined them at sea, and those lying in that port, they consisted of 37 sail of the line. Sir R. Calder has joined Lord Cornwallis off Brest.
In confirmation of the above, the following Bulletin was this morning sent to Lloyd's coffee-house. Admiralty Office, August 16.
"The combined squadrons of the enemy are stated to have arrived at Ferrol."
GREENOCK, August 21. Admiral Calder joined admiral Cornwallis on the 11th; admiral Stirling, from off Rochefort, it is stated, has joined also, so that admiral Cornwallis has now upwards of 30 sail of the line; and will probably be still further strengthened by the force under Lord Nelson or admiral Collingwood. He is immediately to be reinforced by several ships from Portsmouth and Plymouth, and in a few days he will be in such a state as to combat, with every probability of success, the whole combined forces of the enemy.
The hostile fleet in Ferrol, now amounts to about 37 sail of the line.
Despatches from India, of a very interesting nature, were received by government, on Friday. By these, we are sorry to learn, that the fortress of Blurtore, had been attacked five different times, by the forces under Lord Lake; in all which assaults our troops had been repulsed, with considerable loss amounting to 3000 men killed and wounded, of whom 103 were officers. The despatches state, that Lord Lake had attacked Blurtore, under great disadvantages, which, however, had been removed before the vessel bearing them left India, and another attack was meditated, which, it was thought by those concerned in it, could hardly prove unsuccessful.
By the ship Huron, from Amsterdam, we have received the Scheidam Mercury, containing intelligence from the continent of Europe to the 14th of August, of which the following are the principal articles:— N. Y. Mer. Adv.
From the Russian Frontiers, July 24.—It is understood that the Persian Clans, who lately belonged to the hostile party on the borders of Georgia, have submitted themselves to the Russian Sceptre.
A considerable corps of Russians is assembling near Dunnio, to be exercised in military manoeuvres.
Genoa, July 25.—The greatest diligence is using in our ship yards for hastening the building of ships of war. Great quantities of timber have been sent thither. Le Genois will shortly be ready; Le Superbe and two brigs are on the stocks.
Berlin, July 27.—Two French Couriers lately arrived here; one of whom immediately repaired to the King at Charlottenburg, where, it is asserted, he delivered a letter to his Majesty from the emperor Napoleon, the contents of which relate to M. Novosilzoff's late mission; the other brought dispatches to the French Ambassador. It is said that the speedy recall of M. Novosilzoff has made a disagreeable impression on the mind of his Prussian Majesty. This is no wonder, since it is so well known that his majesty has strained every nerve to bring about an accommodation between Russia and France, in which, at least for the present, he has been disappointed, through the precipitate conduct of Russia. In the mean time, his Majesty perseveres in his resolution of remaining neutral, what ever may happen. This is evident from every
circumstance; and the reports to the contrary, which have been circulated, are totally void of all foundation. His Majesty continues to hold long and frequent conferences with M. le Forest the French Ambassador, whom he appears to respect greatly. It is therefore conjectured that matters of great importance are still in agitation.
At Revert and Riga, a Russian fleet has been fitted out, for performing the customary manoeuvres in the Baltic.
By command of the Emperor, the Russian Court has gone into mourning, which is to be worn a week, for her highness Maria Theresa, Princess of Sayoy, the consort of the count of Artois, lately deceased.
Copenhagen, July 30.—Before the introduction of the new pilot boats on the coast of Norway by capt. Soiling, no less than from between 60 to 70 vessels were in general stranded during the months of September, October and November, within the distance of 69 leagues from Kosterland to Segadahl; while, in the course of last year, not one has been wrecked, which, according to every account, is entirely to be attributed to these boats.
Schiedam, Aug. 15.—It is reported at Copenhagen that the king of Sweden is expected there within a few days.
The exportation of grain from Russia to Prussian Poland is prohibited till further orders.
Hanlem, Aug. 12.—Our city has been without garrison for several days past; all the corps of troops which successively arrived here in the course of last week, pursued their route to the Helder. From them we learn, that General Marmont, with several other generals, went on board the ships last Thursday, on which occasion 21 guns were fired from the men of war.—Every thing is ready to put to sea at a moment's notice.

FROM THE LONDON STAR.
In the days of my youth, when reason's sweet bellow Scarce swell'd on the stream of reflection and thought, I sprang, with the sky-lark, refresh'd, from my pillow, Nor heeded life's ills, whilst my pleasure I sought. But soon to my book, with a heart palpitating; The frown of authority bade me attend; I thought it was hard—yes, sure it was grating, To see my dear sports with liberty end. Yet something soon rose, oh! 'twas reading's sweet pleasure, To calm, to content, to enlighten my mind, And wond'ring I smil'd, as con'd o'er the treasure, Of Fables of Tales, or the Bible refin'd. Yes, I bless the dear day when my follies forsaking, The friend of my childhood consign'd me to school, For something like science my soul was awaking, And told me the head o'er the heart ought to rule. Then the lore of the Ancients increas'd the sensations Which throb'd in my bosom, as reason arose, Whilst Poesy, smiling, held out her temptations, And lur'd me to pluck from her blossoms a rose. Ah! the rose was most sweet, and much I lov'd dearly To tune my wild lyre in Seclusion's lone dell, And oft as the beauties of nature would cheer me, Enchanted, my song full of praises I'd swell. But sooth, from the smiles of dear nature a roving, My heart to the luring of beauty soon fled, And shortly I found that the rogue was a loving, And rul'd, yes, for once, he rul'd over my head. My strains were then sad, and I sung so sincerely, That beauty relented, and bless'd me awhile, But truly I paid for the blessing most dearly, As shortly I found that ev'n beauty had guile. So I turn'd quite disgusted from passion's wild bellow, Nor felt that my loss was a loss so uncommon, Since simply 'twas prov'd, as I bound on the willow, I thought her an angel, but found her—a woman. Oh yes, when the calmness of reason succeeded, And painted the follies affection conceal'd, I bless'd the dear day when the false one receded, And all the allurements of cunning reveal'd. Thus tranquil I smil'd, and now often a straying, Midst solitude's walks, I reflect on mankind, Whilst liaply my fancy is sometimes portraying The changes and chances that round us will wind. Now lifted by pleasure, now borne down by sorrow, In the care of ourselves 'tis we only agree— So thus, like the rest, will I think of to-morrow, And care for the world, as the world cares for me. G. W. E.

THE SAILOR BOY.
Dark flew the cloud along the wave, And echoing thunders rent the sky; All hands aloft, to meet the storm, At midnight was the boatswain's cry. On deck flew ev'ry gallant tar, But one—bereft of ev'ry joy; Within a hammock's narrow bound, Lay stretch'd this hapless Sailor Boy. Once, when the Boatswain pip'd all hands, The first was he, of all the crew, On deck to spring—to trim the sail— To steer—to reef—to furl or clue. Now fell disease had siez'd a form Which nature cast in finest mould; The midwatch bell now smote his heart, His last, his dying knell it toll'd. "O! God!" he cried, and grasp'd for breath "Ere yet my soul shall cleave the skies, "Are there no Parents—Brethren near, "To close, in death, my weary eyes. "All hands aloft to brave the storm, "I hear the wintry tempest roar;" He rais'd his head to view the scene, And backward fell, to rise no more. The morning sun in splendour rose, The gale was hush'd, and still'd the wave; The Sea-boy, far from all his friends, Was plung'd into a wat'ry grave. But HE who guards the Sea-boy's head, HE who can save or can destroy, Snatch'd up to Heav'n the purest soul, That e'er adorn'd a Sailor Boy.
FROM AN ENGLISH PUBLICATION.
ROYAL INSTITUTION.
On Saturday, at two o'clock, the Rev. Sydney Smith delivered a very ingenious and forcible lecture, on the reasoning faculties of animals, in that course of which he showed, that man, though far superior to animals in this distinguished qualification, chiefly derives that superiority from his power of speech, his longevity, and the peculiar delicacy and texture of his hands. He began by assuming the plan and general proposition, "that animals have reasoning faculties;" and, in support of it, he quoted several passages from the works of Mr. Locke, Dr. Hastley, Dr. Reid, and other eminent writers on Moral Philosophy, who all speak most decidedly on the subject. He then instanced an observation made by the celebrated Naturalist Buffon, who tells us, that he had paid most particular attention to the mode and manner in which those diminutive animals field-mice, provide for their wants, and contrive to support themselves and their young, during the inclemency of the winter. He described the manner in which they built their little mansions within the ground; the regular divisions they make of different apartments, some of which they use
for their own immediate use and occupancy, and the other as store-houses for the grain, &c. which they lay in for their subsistence; in which exhibit a degree of sagacity and taste in domestic economy, which borders strongly on the efforts of man, in the rudest state of nature. From these diminutive animals, he proceeded to notice some of a larger size, and, from their imitative faculties, approaching nearer to our own species. He related, from a French author, whose name we could not distinctly hear, an anecdote of an ape, that was in his possession, and that he used to amuse himself by feeding with walnuts, and observing the tricks and fancies he made use of during the time of his repast. One day he happened to throw down the walnuts, so that they were out of the reach of the animal, that was fastened by a chain; he made two or three attempts to reach them, in vain, and was most wistfully eyeing the luxurious dainties, when a footman passing by with a napkin under his arm, the ape seized the napkin, threw it out till he had swept all the walnuts within his reach, and then flung the towel to the servant from whom he had snatched it. The Reverend Lecturer then proceeded to notice the docility and sagacity of another animal of still greater magnitude, viz. the elephant. There were, he said, the most undoubted authorities, of many instances of their sagacity, which almost exceeded credibility. In many parts of Asia, the Blacks, when they go from home, leave their infant children, as it were, under the care and protection of this extraordinary animal, which they keep tied to a post, and they place the children on the ground very near to him. The attentive and sagacious creature will watch them with the utmost care, and when they crawl about, and he sees them getting too far, he stretches out his proboscis, pulls them towards him in the gentlest manner, and so gives them fresh scope for the renewal of that exercise which alone they are capable of taking. He then adverted to the great sagacity in dogs, that very frequently found their way across a country of sixty or eighty miles in extent, which they had never seen but once, and which could only be done by the very extraordinary attention they paid to every particular bush, gate, house, tree, &c. as they passed, and which their retentive memory, one of the strongest part of the reasoning faculty in man, enabled them to recollect again. Having given these instances, he proceeded to state, that he conceived one of the first causes of the superiority of man arose from the power of speech, another from his longevity, and a still greater from the familiar delicacy and formation of his hands. —For if man's life had been limited to twenty years, his improvements would, in all likelihood, have been very few; and if his hands had not enabled him to smelt metals, and thus procure their diffusion, he would have been very little superior to the wild and untutored savage. Another cause of man's superiority was, his gregarious disposition, and that innate desire of the society of his fellow-creatures. A lion lies in a hole under a huge rock, and if another lion should pass by he would get up and fight him. If man was to do the same, and to get up and box every other man he saw, their state of improvement would be little more than that of animals. Besides, the wisest philosophers and most celebrated writers were agreed, that most animals have a social turn as well as man; and though they have not the faculty of speech, they have certain symbols, by which they communicate with, and understand each other. No doubt could therefore remain, that animals possess reasoning faculties, though in a most inferior degree to man. Those faculties were given by the Great Creator, for the wisest and best purposes, to render them more useful and subservient to man. The Theatre was exceeding crowded with ladies and gentlemen of the first rank, fashion, and beauty, who paid the deepest attention. The street was, from end to end, full of elegant carriages.
Caution with respect to the violent treatment of CATS. In the Memoirs of the Academy of Turin Vol. 6th. is found a very interesting communication of Mr. Rossi, entitled "Observations, dissections and experiment on the bite of enraged animals." One of the most important facts contained in it, is, that Cats may by ill treatment be rendered mad, and without having been themselves bitten, may by their bite produce the most violent Hydrophobia. He relates the following instances. A young man was bit by a Cat in the leg; he suffered acute pain for some time; this ceased, and he became well. Every method of preventive for hydrophobia was used, cautery, caustick, alkalies, blisters, &c.—all in vain; the 49th day the symptoms appeared, and the patient died with his teeth fixed in a piece of iron. It is remarkable, that the Cat had only been rendered furious by being confined in a room and tormented. A Cowfeeder having remarked a Cat often coming to steal the milk in his dairy, lay in wait for it, and attacked it with a hatchet. There was a considerable contest, until at last, the Cat unable to avoid the approaching blow, leaped at the man and seized his chin, whence there was no possibility of detaching it, but by cutting off its head. The patient was carried to the hospital, and all the preventives of hydrophobia, as cautery, purging, bleeding and mercurial salivation, applied. On the 20th day the fatal symptoms made their appearance; he experienced much difficulty in swallowing water, but this he overcame with great fortitude; the difficulty increased, the wound became bad; the patient grew furious, endeavoured to bite every one that came near him, was bound in chains, and immediately broke
them in pieces—leaped from his bed, ran up and down the hospital, attempting to bite all he met, till reaching the outer door in order to escape, he was seized with a shivering and fell down dead. On dissection the appearances in both these cases were precisely similar to those of Hydrophobia. The dreadful lesson taught by the cases here stated should be carefully kept in mind by all who are, from their tempers and habits of life, much exposed to the temptation or the necessity of using harsh methods with the most common of our domestick animals.
