A PROPOSAL, By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, & ABRAHAM SMALL, Of the City of Philadelphia, For Publishing, in Volumes, by Subscription, That Useful and Valuable Work, THE Domestic Encyclopædia, OR, A Dictionary of Facts and Useful Knowledge,
COMPREHENDING, A concise view of the latest Discoveries, Inventions, and Improvements, Chiefly applicable to Rural and Domestic Economy. TOGETHER WITH Descriptions of the most Interesting Objects of Nature and Art. . . . The History of Men and Animals, in a state of Health or Disease. . . . and Practical Hints respecting the Arts and Manufactures, both Familiar and Commercial.
Illustrated with numerous Engravings and Cuts.
BY A. F. M. WILLICH, M. D. AUTHOR OF THE LECTURES ON DIET AND REGIMEN, &c. &c.
FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, With Additions, applicable to the present situation of the United States, BY JAMES MEASE, M. D. Fellow of the American Philosophical Society; and Corresponding Member of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester.
TO THE PUBLIC.
AS the practical tendency of the work here announced, must be evident, its peculiar nature scarcely requires further explanation. When we consider the natural condition of man, the object of all his pursuits becomes at once manifest and defined.—To live with satisfaction to himself and others—to procure as many comforts of life as are consistent with his mental and bodily constitution—and to avert impending danger—or, in other words to preserve himself from the injurious attacks of external agents, are nearly the whole of what relates to the practical part of human life. The present work being exclusively devoted to the departments of health and general economy, no subject could with propriety be introduced, which had a reference to ethics or morals, to metaphysics, or the abstract and professional sciences.
In order to unite conciseness with general utility, the theoretical or speculative part of every invention, discovery, or improvement, forms but a small portion of the Domestic Encyclopædia—because the rationale, or elementary principles are only inserted in those instances where the subject cannot be sufficiently understood without them. . . . And as the alphabetical form possesses many advantages over the systematic division and subdivision of articles, it has, in the present case, been preferred, as more eligible for a popular work.
It will be easily conceived, that the subjects treated of in this collection must be numerous and important; inasmuch as the economical sciences are intimately connected with natural and experimental philosophy, including the knowledge of useful animals, plants, and minerals; chemistry, agriculture, gardening, hunting, the cultivation of trees, rearing of cattle, fishing, &c. To enable, however, the reader to judge of the method by which subjects apparently intricate and abstruse, are reduced to the level of ordinary capacities, the following heads will furnish an outline of the economical dictionary.
 1. A concise historical account of the subject under consideration, or the manner in which it is most advantageously produced, either by nature or art. . . . for instance, fuel, candles, hats, shoes, wine, yarn, &c.  2. The most judicious and economical mode of applying every substance to useful purposes. 
3. All the newly discovered methods of defending the objects of domestic and rural economy, from the effects of air, heat, and cold, the changes of climate, seasons, and other contingent causes; likewise, the most effectual way of preserving particular substances, such as seeds, roots, plants, &c. from the depredations of insects, reptiles, and other animals.
4. An explanation of the general effects which every article of food and drink, as well as all external and contingent causes, produce on the health of the body; together with the most approved rules and directions for its preservation.
5. As the list of human afflictions contain many and obstinate diseases such as cancers, consumption, epilepsy, gout, palsy, white-swelling, &c. which have hitherto been for the most part considered as incurable, a concise and faithful account of the latest and most plausible remedies, or methods of treatment, is given.
From the foregoing account, it must be obvious to all, that the nature of the Domestic Encyclopædia, is peculiarly adapted to the present wants of the United States. Perhaps it contains a greater number of useful facts than have ever appeared in the compass of four moderate volumes. No pains, trouble, or expense, appear to have been spared to render this economical dictionary as complete as the present advancement of agriculture, gardening, of the familiar arts and manufactures, as well as the imperfect state of medical science, would respectively admit. It includes almost every object more or less connected with rural, domestic, and animal economy.—Hence the reader will find numerous experiments related, many hundreds of which have not before been published in the English language.
With regard to the additions, the editor will observe, that no exertions shall be wanting on his part, to render them as useful as possible, to the people of this country. . . . As no other diseases but those enumerated in article five, are introduced in the original work, and as it is peculiarly adapted to the situation of persons in the country, remote from medical aid, it has been deemed necessary in the present edition to detail the most approved methods of guarding against the attack of diseases, commonly prevalent in the United States, of curing them when actually present, and of treating the various accidents to which agricultural people are liable. There shall also be given, as full an account of all the poisonous plants growing in the United States, as can be obtained.
Care shall be taken to detail all the discoveries which have been made in the United States. . . . These will be found to be more numerous than is generally imagined. . . . Many machines for diminishing labor, and which are peculiar to this country shall be described and illustrated by plates.
The VETERINARY SCIENCE comprehending the application of the principles of medicine, to the preservation of the health of domestic animals, and the cure of their diseases, shall also claim a due degree of attention. . . . That destructive and native disease, the yellow water of horses, shall be described, and a successful method of cure pointed out.
Lastly, the object of the work being to supply families with a compact guide, in all economical affairs, every useful fact in rural and domestic economy, omitted by Dr. Willich, and which may be known to the editor, shall be inserted; and in order to take advantage of progressing improvements, arrangements have been made to have all the periodical works on the above subjects, forwarded as soon as published in England or France.
The editor will thankfully receive any communications which may tend to improve the work, and he begs leave respectfully to solicit them.
The Publishers have but little to add for themselves; knowing that professions generally are, and, perhaps, ought to be, in a great measure, unavailing, they refer the Public to the books they have already published. They have given to the world two Editions of Dr. Russell's Modern Europe, within the three last years; the manner, therefore, in which they execute their undertakings
can be ascertained. . . . In the present work, if they do not advance much, they pledge themselves not to degenerate. It shall be printed in the first style of uniformity and taste. The paper shall be superfine—and the engravings at least equal to those in the London copy.
CONDITIONS.  I. It shall be printed in five large handsome octavo volumes. One volume shall be delivered every three months. Price to Subscribers, two dollars and fifty cents per volume, in boards, payable on delivery.  II. The first volume shall appear on the first of April, 1803, and a volume regularly every three months afterwards.  III. It may be had in one delivery when finished, at twelve dollars and fifty cents per set, or fifteen dollars well bound, payable on delivery of the books. It will, however, be only obtained at these prices, by those who give the publishers their names during the progress of the work, to take it when finished. 
IV. At any considerable distance from Philadelphia, it can only be delivered in the last mentioned manner—the forwarding of single volumes to many places being impracticable.
* * * The Public will please to notice, that the amount in price of this improved and extended work, is not higher than the London work in four volumes.

JEREMIAH EVANS. Martinsburg, July 1, 1803.
From the New-York Evening Post.
"He that hath ears to hear let him hear."—The following letter is found in the London Courier of April 28th. It affords us a picture of French fraternity drawn at full length by one who felt what he portrayed. It is deserving the attention of every reflecting mind.
"HAGUE, APRIL 21, 1803."
"Amongst the countries disturbed by French intrigue, over-run by French arms, vexed by French power, and ruined by French connections, Holland stands the first; and the liberty held out by French emissaries, as an allurements to the ambition of the factious, and to the patriotism of the Republicans, has been as fatal to our independence as destructive to our commerce."
"Since 1795, when we began to feel the curse of French fraternity, we are become a beggary, enslaved, degraded and debased people, without public spirit, public virtue, or private worth, seeing with the same indifference and phlegm the misery of our countrymen around us, as the insulting luxury of our tyrants, who, not satisfied with the plunder of our property, debauch our wives, seduce our daughters, and pervert the principles of our sons. By their scandalous example, and by their depraved conduct, they have outraged or destroyed the moral and religious notions of all classes of society; our hospitals, our prisons are crowded; and more crimes have been committed in our country this last eight years, than the fifty years preceding."
"Since the French first entered our territory, we have been more or less burthened with their troops, but never entirely free from them; because, no sooner have we clothed, armed, and paid one division going to Flanders, than another has succeeded, coming down the Rhine in rags, without arms, and without money; Holland has not only been the magazine, the arsenal, and the Treasury of France, but during the campaigns in Germany, its hospital; most of its sick and wounded were sent here by water, to be cured at our expense, in our houses, our public hospitals not being sufficient to contain them."
"Not satisfied with these fraternal transactions, our French brothers, un-

der the appellation of friendly loans, favourable treaties, and patriotic donations, have laid our different Governments under continual contributions.
We have paid for getting rid of the French troops, we have paid for getting them back, and again paid for getting rid of them; we have paid for having them reduced, diminished or augmented; we have paid to avoid revolutionary requisitions; we have paid to avoid forced contributions; we have paid to prevent military executions; We have paid millions in bribes to French Directors, to French Ministers, to French Generals, to French Agents, to French Commissaries, to French Secretaries, and to their pack of Courtiers, Clerks, Valets, and Footmen.
We have paid to the French Jacobin Faction for changing our government, we have paid the French Moderate Faction for changing it again; we have in six years paid for the change of Three Constitutions! and not long ago we were asked to pay for not having the fourth. Our government may make out its budget; but not before the last Dutchman has paid his last ducat, can it fix what French rapacity may exact, and French tyranny exact. Our French alliance has cost us more in eight years than all our glorious wars under WILLIAM III. and the wars to the peace of Utrecht.
"If what we have paid proves our former riches and our former resources, the disappearance of gold, the scarcity of silver, the decline of manufactures, the decrease of our trade, and the uncommon poverty of our people, prove our riches gone, and our resources exhausted; and should France continue to injure our commerce, mock our independence, and plunder our property we shall in a short time become as burthensome an ally to France, as France has been oppressive to us.
Our population is reduced, and the Seven Provinces do not contain above two millions of inhabitants, who pay more taxes than twelve millions of Frenchmen; many therefore think the French policy is to force us by despair to demand, what despair only can force us to demand, an incorporation with France.
"If all the nations of Europe have acknowledged our independence, not one has resented the continual violation of it; and whatever the ignorant or the interested say to the contrary, it was not because England kept the Cape and Goree that 20,000 Frenchmen were poured into our country. It has because our Government wished to ascertain its independence by an application to the Court of St. Petersburg and Berlin to guarantee our neutrality in case of a new war, the Court of St. James's having promised to respect our independence; and even our patriots are now obliged to confess that when Bonaparte ordered Flushing in a state of siege, it was moderation and generosity in the British Government not to order its cruisers to capture and detain our men of war and merchantmen.
"Was not the ancient Batavian patriotism changed into modern Gallican Egotism, we might yet make an effort, if not to be entirely free, at least not to be longer such contemptible French tools; but in the common ruin of our liberties and fortunes, we all think how to save ourselves, none what the honour of our nation, and the preservation of our country demand; we tremble at the arrival of each French courier, not for the Batavian Republic, but for our own individual selves; and so prepared are we for French violence, and so accustomed to French oppression, that many thought it an act of liberty, that the decree which declared Flushing in a state of siege, did not declare the bank of Amsterdam in a state of requisition, and that the twenty thousand French troops occupying our strong frontier towns, were not quartered at discretion on the inhabitants here, at Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
We know we have nothing to hope from the Court of Berlin, but we expect with anxiety the answer of the Court of St. Petersburg. Should the magnanimous Alexander not assist us to throw off the Gallican yoke, or to lighten our Gallican fetters, and a new war breaks out, we are entirely undone, and the last, the only resource left is to cease to be a Nation.
"Believe me, the contents of this letter are far from being exaggerated, and indeed exaggeration is impossible, where the reality surpasses the possibility of narration. May the example of Holland be a warning to States yet free and independent! Deceived by French promises, disunited by French plots, and duped by French treachery, we have lost the independence our ancestors purchased; and in exchange for the liberty left us by our forefathers, we bequeath to our posterity a slavery, so much the
more disgraceful, as it was imposed without a struggle, and nearly without resistance."
This picture would be incomplete, did we not group with it the fate of those other nations in Europe who have been so ready to throw themselves into the fatal embrace of France. The tout ensemble will give us a very correct view of the certain and natural consequence of French principles, wherever they are permitted to obtain.
Geneva owes its ruin to a peace with France.—Without the least excuse in the world, in the year 1792, the French marched an army against this little republic, and surrounded the city. The Genevese having called in their neighbors the Swiss, to their assistance, were in a situation to defend themselves, and expressed their determination to do it. The Convention (ever as base as it was bloody,) finding this to be the case, wheedled them into a negotiation. A treaty was made, according to which the Swiss was to be sent away, and the French army was to retire. The army did retire; but when the Swiss were gone, the villains of the convention annulled the treaty; their army advanced, entered the city, and were joined by numbers of traitors. All the blessings of a French Revolution begun. The rich were plundered, some of them put to death, others to flight; the poor little state became a province of France, and from ease, opulence and independence, fell to the lowest degree of misery and vassalage.
"Genoa, by yielding to demand after demand, by paying tribute upon tribute, and by swallowing humiliation upon humiliation, thought to escape the general wreck; but no; a revolution has been effected as at Geneva, and followed by similar consequences.
"Hamburg, Bremen and Lubeck, though so remote, have not been able to avoid the outstretched arm of French rapacity and power; but have been compelled, as the price of peace to pay a tribute of several millions; in return for which, they are hourly threatened with final subversion and total ruin.
"Venice made peace with the French and thereby gave them an opportunity of displaying the treacherousness of their character in its fullest glare. After deluding the people of this State with the hope of liberty, equality and independence, they pillaged the city of its treasures, destroyed its most splendid institutions and costly ornaments, and levelled the pride of ages with the dust. They took possession of its most valuable islands, plundered it of its navy, beat and murdered hundreds of its inhabitants in mere whim and caprice, and finished their perfidious work by delivering up the miserable people to the government of a stranger and of a monarch, whom they had always affected to consider as one of the greatest enemies of liberty, and whom they had, in their decrees and proclamations, a thousand times styled a despot.
"Switzerland closes the awful lesson. This republic was, like the United States, a federative one. It had long been equally the admiration of the historian and the civilian, and not unfrequently the subject of the Muse's praise.—Yet, by peace with France, this much-admired Republic has been torn up root and branch. Switzerland, basely forgetting the murder of the King's guard on the 10th of August, officially came forward the first State in Europe, to acknowledge the Republic of France. The Swiss observed what they called a neutrality, but it was vilely insincere, always operating in favor of the French. When these latter had swallowed up the neighbouring countries, they quarreled with the Swiss. They ordered them to send away the English Ambassador, which would have been done, had he not spared them the disgrace by retiring. They were next ordered to banish the emigrants; they then negotiated and complied. Now there was no ground of quarrel left; an insurrection was therefore excited, and the generous French marched their army to protect the poor oppressed Insurgents! In short, the Helvetic Union was told that they must change their constitution. They negotiated, but still the enemy approached, the legislators met; they offered to make some alterations. These would not do. They must receive a constitution from Paris. They refused, and collected their army; but, still indecisive, they ordered their army not to act. At last, while they were still debating, come the French sans-culottes, and disperse them at the point of the bayonet. The Swiss army was found; the people were brave and active; but what, with such governors, were they to do against ten times their force? They rushed on the enemy's cannon, and were blown to pieces by
thousands. The women fought by the sides of their husbands; no less than eight hundred of them expired under the sabres of the bloody French. With these gallant females the liberty of Switzerland groaned out its last.
"Thus Americans have all the Republics of Europe, for their endeavouring to conciliate with France, for their tame submission to injury and insult; for their whining, cringing and crawling for peace, been finally rewarded by the subversion of their governments, by the loss of their property, by the massacre of their people, by being reduced to the last degree of national wretchedness and disgrace, and by being the scorn and contempt of the universe."
The above extract is from a popular and authentic work which was published here in the year of 1798. And now permit me to ask who does not remember the curvettings and shoutings with which our own democrats in 1795 received the news of the subjugation of these unhappy countries by France! How did they congratulate each other with smiles and hand-shakings at all corners of the streets at the diffusion of French principles, and the extension of French fraternity? They hoped and trusted, that it would not be long before the blessings of liberty and equality would reach our shores and bind us all in one common cause. And had the policy of that party been at that time adopted, who does not shudder when he perceives what, before this hour, would have been our fate?—Let it be remembered that it was owing to the prudence of a Washington, supported by his (at that time) overawing popularity, enforced by the talents of a Hamilton, that this frightful calamity was averted. And for this the first has been called a robber, a traitor, a murderer, in our public prints; and the latter has been loaded with every epithet that the disappointed rage of impotent madmen could invent.
How grateful squall we be to that gracious Providence who disappointeth the devices of the crafty, that those whose wild theories and short-sighted views would thus have involved us in inextricable calamities and irretrievable ruin, should not have been permitted to mount into power till the season for mischief is, at least in some measure, over! Still must we say,
"Such men are dangerous."
CAPE-FRANCOIS, July 8, 1803.
The seat of government which was formerly established at Port-au-Prince, has been removed to this place a few days since, and its return has given a great rise to every kind of American produce. Since four days three transports have arrived with twelve hundred troops on board. Flour eighteen dollars, with prospect of greater rise.
FROM THE MISSISSIPPI.
New-York, July 29.
By the schr. Indiana, in 41 days from Natchez, and 27 from New-Orleans, we receive information furnishing prospects highly flattering to the prosperity of our newly acquired western country.
The Indiana belongs at Marietta, 1000 miles up the Ohio, and 2200 from the mouth of the Mississippi. She left at New-Orleans four vessels from Marietta, and one from Pittsburgh, for Liverpool, with others for other ports.
At the time of the Indiana's departure from Marietta, the inhabitants were apprised of the cession of Louisiana to the United States; but a general spirit was prevalent, evasive of a determination to possess New-Orleans at all hazards.
A letter from an intelligent house in Bourdeaux, dated the 24th May, received at Philadelphia by the brig Aristides, says—"We have to congratulate you on the cession of Louisiana to our government.
"Gen. Le Clerc's bills are no longer paid, under the plea that full value was not received for them. There is a question of obliging the holders to produce a copy of the bargain, which gave rise to their bills, and a copy if for fournisseurs , of the garde magasin's receipt, to prove that the objects, whatever they were, were delivered. Not to lose time, whether this plan is insisted on or not, we advise the documents being sent on.
The Pilot Boat James Daniels from this port, arrived at Philadelphia last Tuesday afternoon, with 40 able bodied seamen, to compleat the crew of the Frigate Philadelphia, capt. Bainbridge. She was dropped down to New-Castle,
and we understand will proceed to sea in a few days.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Cape Francois to a respectable commercial house in this city, dated July 24.
"Our port is blockaded by several British ships of war, the commanders of which have declared the Island in a state of siege, and ordered the American vessels not to enter our port. They have taken two French frigates, a corvette, two armed brigs, and most of the coasters round the Island; also have cut several French vessels out of the port of Jeremie. In consequence of the arrival of a number of American vessels flour has fallen much, and will command no more than ten dollars per barrel.
Last Wednesday arrived at Philadelphia, the ship Maria, capt. Calvert, 32 days from Lisbon. Capt. C. informs that a day or two before he sailed, a British Packet arrived, the captain of which mentioned the loss of two British frigates, one by capture, the other being drove ashore in a gale. He also mentioned the capture of a French frigate by the British, but the names of either is not remembered.
It was currently reported at Lisbon, THAT THE FRENCH HAD TAKEN AND ACTUALLY HELD POSSESSION OF BREMEN.
August 4.
According to a letter from Rotenburg, a district near Bremen, dated the 25th of May, the French had entered the duchy of Bethelm.
A proclamation was issued on the 16th May, by the Elector of Hanover, enjoining a strict neutrality; but ordering, at the same time, the whole force of the Electorate to be in readiness to repel any attempt at invasion. For this purpose all male citizens, from 16 to 60 years of age, were to be enrolled, and the property of such as disgraced themselves and their country, by an act of cowardice, was to be confiscated to the state. Reckoning the population at a million of souls, these measures, it was expected, would raise an army of 200,000 effective men.
The Court of Russia, it was understood, had declared to the French minister Colbert, that it should not see without concern the seizure of Hanover, and the shutting of the Elbe and Weser; but that, with respect to any thing else, it would observe the strictest neutrality, and would interpose its mediation for restoring the tranquillity of the continent.
A ship arrived at Hamburg on the 7th May, in 10 days from Petersburg, with accounts that the whole Russian fleet at Constadt and Revel was ready for sea, and might soon be expected in the Baltic.
When captain Miller, of the ship Betsy, left Amsterdam, a French army was marching in. The Dutch merchants had offered Bonaparte a considerable sum for the purchase of Neutrality, but the overture was rejected.
August 5.
We are informed by Capt. Gore from Jamaica, that about forty sail of French prizes had been sent into the port of Kingston, within two weeks; amongst which were, one French frigate, two sloops of war, and several valuable merchantmen, bound from St. Domingo, for ports in France.
PLYMOUTH, May 19.
A seaman is arrived here who left Brest ten days since; he states that a great many English seamen, as well as shipwrights, are at that port; the latter consisting chiefly of those discharged from our dockyards, who are allowed by the French government two guineas per week, for wages, and lodging free of expense.
NORFOLK, July 29.
We learn by the brig Friendship, capt. Wilmam, from Aux Cayes, arrived on Sunday, that the situation of the inhabitants, in the Island of St. Domingo, was extremely distressing. The brigands in the neighbourhood of Aux Cayes have surrounded the place in a close manner, that it is impossible to obtain forage for their cattle, without a strong force being employed to procure it. Turkeys were selling at the enormous price of 8 to 10 dollars each; fowls two dollars, and vegetables in proportion. Two vessels with passengers on board had been captured by the British cruisers and sent for Jamaica. The Friendship was boarded by an English armed vessel, but being an American, was permitted to pass unmolested. Between 50 and 60 passengers came in the above vessel; and as the British cru-

zers intercept all reinforcements, the inhabitants of St. Domingo are flying in all directions.
ALEXANDRIA, August 4.
Extract of a letter from Mr. J. Beesly, proprietor of the American Coffee House at Cape Francois, to the Editor of the N. York Mercantile Advertiser, dated July 14, 1803.
"Every thing here is in a state of suspense respecting War or Peace. Three English 74's and six frigates blockade this port. They capture all French vessels, and order them for Jamaica. Not less than 20 sail have been taken and sent thither within the last 15 days. Some few Americans have escaped; but those which have arrived were chased close in with the harbor. We understand the English commander on this station has orders to capture all French vessels bound in or out of this port. The government appears to be much alarmed. In consequence, the duty is taken off all American produce."
"A census of the inhabitants was taken yesterday, that provisions may be equally distributed. A number of French vessels have been cut out of Jeremie by the English. We have two 74's and 4 frigates in this port, which are preparing for France with all possible dispatch. A hot press of French seamen has taken place both in the harbour and on the shore. You may expect to hear of an engagement before long."
"All kinds of American produce have taken an uncommon rise. Flour is 22 dollars per barrel by the cargo, pork 25, beef 16, rice 10 cents, lard 18, butter 25, lumber 38 dollars per 1000."
Extract from letters from an American resident at Rotterdam to a house in Baltimore, received via Salem, by the ship Active, direct from Rotterdam.
June 6.
"Great Britain is capturing all the Dutch East and West India ships; every finger is a hook, and we have daily accounts of their most valuable shipping being carried in. Bonaparte has begun to threaten Great Britain with an invasion; but the best informed think a successful invasion impracticable. The seas and channel are covered with British ships of war, and every port in France and Holland is blockaded; so that they cannot get a ship in or out. Mr. Liston the English ambassador, is still at the Hague; but report says he leaves there in the morning for some part of Germany. It is said to be Mr. Liston's opinion that the war will have a very long continuance. Should France attempt to shut the neutral ports of Hamburg and Bremen against the English ships it is conjectured in that case that Russia will come forward in support of their neutrality and protection of Hanover. She is recruiting her armies and arming and commissioning her ships and every thing seems to indicate a movement from that quarter."
"The king of Prussia has lately reviewed an army of 80,000 men, which he still keeps in the field. A Russian ambassador has arrived at Hanover, and it is conjectured Mr. Liston is going to meet him. Every thing wears the appearance of a continental war. The commerce of the United States must flourish if the wisdom of our government keeps us out of the scrape. The Dutch have embargoed four English packets here, at the instance of the French, and imprisoned the agents of the packets."
June 8.
"Intelligence was received yesterday from Hamburg that the French had taken possession of Bremen, and were marching to Cuxhaven and Embden—at Bremen they have put barriers, with the word neutrality marked upon them, but the French paid little respect to it."

PHILADELPHIA, August 6.
For some days past, we have had repeated reports of the appearance of the Yellow Fever in New-York, but as we were in hopes the story was unfounded, we declined saying any thing of it, till the New-York papers announce it, by the paragraph relating the death of Lewis Ogden. From this and other information, the Board of Health, as a precaution have resolved to stop the communication, from New-York to this city; and we are told that the same will be published this morning, by them, in hand bills ONLY.
We are enabled to state from good authority that she 11,250,000 dollars, to be paid to France in six per cent stock, on the purchase of Louisiana, agreeably to treaty, is not redeemable under the term of fifteen years.

MARTINSBURG, August 12.
THE activity of the human mind, which will not suffer a pause from tho't, is ever in pursuit of matter on which to exercise it; and no sooner has attained one object than, scarcely allowing itself time to dwell upon the enjoyment of that, it flies off panting in search of another.—Thus the war between France and England has for several months kept the public mind in a ferment of anxiety, curiosity and suspense; and now that doubt has vanished, its means and mode of prevention, and its probable consequences, occupy more or less the consideration of every one, and already excite much vague speculation, and much groundless discussion. Will there be war? When will it begin? were the questions of every mouth but a few weeks ago; and now, where, when, or how will it end? takes the place of those, and supplies colloquial food to every company. To collate and to compare every circumstance attending the business, and from the slightest materials which the newspaper intelligence from Europe affords us, deduce and offer to our readers such inferences, as our previous knowledge of European politicks, aided by our best reasoning, can help us to, is no less our duty as Editors, than our inclination as the friends of society at large. The discharge of that duty shall be always next to our hearts, and the objects we allude to always in our view. Whenever we go wrong, let it be remembered that we speak concerning matters in which from their very nature there can be no certainty, which even to those who, standing in the most elevated situations in Europe, must see far, are but very obscurely, if at all discernable—and which, therefore, must to humble beings like us, at this distance, afford room for no more than rational conjecture.
We confess then, that the conduct of Buonaparte appears the most extraordinary, unaccountable, and indeed extravagant of any we have ever heard of, read, or even imagined. Making every allowance for the infinitely varied, motley failings of a man at once so multifariously great, low, and wicked, we are still at a loss for any rational, probable footing on which to put it. We know that successful demagogues, and knavish popular leaders, when they once get the string in their nose and the bridle bit in their mouth never fail to curb, torture and oppress the people who submit to them. We know that even men born to power, nursed under canopies of state, and swaddled in purple, are in general more than sufficiently harsh and rigid in the exercise of that power, and that upstarts are universally intolerably despotic, unfeeling and tyrannical. We know that men trained to blood, like dogs so trained, passionately love and pursue the scent of it as long as they live. We know that deep guilt is remorseless, and what men in the natural unforced condition of their hearts would recoil from with horror and dismay, they will when like Macbeth their "fears are harped aright," plunge into with all the "rash precipitation of fear." We are sure that Buonaparte must know that the human race and he are now as naturally enemies, as wolves and sheep, with this difference, that mankind, or nine in every ten of them, are able to destroy him. We know that all these circumstances do or may apply to Buonaparte, but we know that the man was cunning as the serpent, and we have not yet heard that his intellects have decayed. That they may be a little injured by his dizzy height, is possible, but they yet remain above the common standard of mankind. Possessed of a despotic throne by usurpation, common sense would suggest that he had no chance for security in it, but the affections of the people, and that those could only be obtained by converting his ill-got power into an instrument for their happiness.—Armed with such power what might he not do, by cultivating the arts of peace, and by moderation and justice to other nations? In his people's affections he would be secure from the assaults of foreign potentates, however justly jealous of him as an example of successful usurpation they might be, and in the strict observance of justice between France and her neighbours he would have an indefeasible claim to their respect.
To what diabolical perversion of mind, or to what hidden motive are we then to ascribe his conduct as portrayed in the declaration of the British cabinet? In fact considering the man we cannot help thinking either that guilt and pride have bereft him of all prudence, or that there is in the whole something more than meets the eye. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, it is observable that the rest of Europe is arming. The Russian armaments all along supposed (we always thought very ridiculously) to be against Sweden are intended to preserve the neutrality of the North. From all the powers yet left independent, to whom the First Consul has applied for aid, and to shut up their ports against England, he has received a direct refusal. It is obvious that Europe will be again in arms against France. That he will compel them to take a share in the affair we think to be certain. But to what end, and for what purpose it is hazardous, indeed highly presumptuous to pretend foretelling.

The following Epitaph has been offered for the monument of the Hon. JOE PRAY, who at the time of his decease was a Member of the Executive Council of the State of Georgia, and during the late war a Naval Commander in the service of the United States—
Sunk at his moorings, On Wednesday the 30th of April, 1789, One who never struck his flag while he had a shot in the locker; Who carried sail in chase till all was blue; In peace, whose greatest glory was A staggering top sail breeze; In war, to bring his broadside round to bear upon the enemy; And who, when signals of distress hove out, never stood his course, But hauled, or tacked, or wore, to give relief, though to a foe; Who steered his little bark full fifty an- nual cruises o'er life's tempestuous ocean And moor'd her safe in port at last; When, her timbers being crazy and hav- ing sprung a leak in the gale, She went down with a clear hawse. If these traits excite in the breast of humanity
That common tribute to the memory of the departed,
A sigh:
Then, Traveller,
(As thou passest this wreck)
Let chine be borne upon the breeze, Which bends the grassy coverings of the grave of
OLD JOB PRAY.
RELIGION.
He who professeth true religion can meet with composure the greatest misfortune, and stand undaunted in the midst of the most eminent danger—if blest with a being of congenial affections, how happy! how enviable his lot! his years roll almost imperceptibly away with the kind soother of his cares; hand in hand with mutual pleasure they tread the path of life, and when the unerring dart of death is hurled, the heavenly influence of religion averts the agonizing horrors of despair, and excites hope and confidence in that being, who looks with an eye of pity on the sufferings of humanity. But what a dreadful constraint presents itself to our view, on reversing this beautiful picture; uncontrolled passions proceeding from unlimited youthful indulgence, reign with despotic sway; seduction and extravagance mark with a stamp of the darkest hue the character of the libertine, and tend to loosen (if married) the small remains of affection lurking about his heart for his amiable wife and children; repeated and frequent intercourse with vicious companions and dissipation, would annihilate every generous emotion of his soul, and forever deprive him of that affection and all conjugal felicity.—This career of vice, madness, and folly, seldom leaves the wretched being, until he is thoroughly polluted—then oh! when the reflection of futurity, and thoughts of his abandoned and
shameless life, rush with redoubled force on his agonized mind, and present to his imagination, a deep, dark and dreadful abyss, which (unless he obtains forgiveness for his crimes) he must explore with horrid dread.—
Ye parents and instructors of the youthful mind, inculcate the principles of genuine unprejudiced religion in the minds of your children and pupils; train them up to deeds of virtue and benevolence; observe this, and happiness of the most exquisite kind, will be yours, you will secure it to your children unsullied as the snow of heaven.

A VALUABLE TRACT OF LAND For Sale.
THE above Tract of Land is universally known by the name of the White House Tavern ; it contains 177 acres, equal in soil to any in these parts; as to public business, there is none superior. Further description need not be given, as it's so well known, except any person living at a distance may incline to purchase, in which case it may be necessary to add, that it is within 16 miles of Winchester, 6 of Charles Town, on the main road leading from the Northern to the Western Territories.
Terms will be made known by the proprietor living on the land.

UNIMPROVED LAND
Belonging to the heirs of Geo. Scott, dec'd, To Lease.
FOUR hundred and forty three acres, West of the North Mountain, about nine miles from Martinsburg (the County town) and less than three from a Merchant Mill, nor more than nine from the Potomak River. The timber is heavy and abundant, which denotes the quality of the land to be strong—it is accordingly well adapted to all kinds of grain, and very good for grazing, is plentifully watered, lays favourable, and will admit of 30 to 30 acres of excellent meadow being made at a moderate expense. Many other advantages are possessed which are not detailed, presuming that renters would wish to examine for themselves. Desirous to rent for improvements, neither cash nor grain will be required, it cannot therefore fail to become an object of much interest to those possessing force, especially as the terms, for three years, will be made the most easy and accommodating possible.
Application to be made to Mr. William Scott, of Martinsburg, or the subscriber, residing near Scott's Mills, at Apple-pye Ridge, Berkeley County, Virginia.

In the following lines the reader will readily recognise the natural ease, beauty and harmony of the illustrious COWPER, whose truly great and virtuous mind soared above the frivolity of fashion, and could willingly resign the gay fancies of the world, for the procurement of more substantial joys beyond the grave.  HE is the happy man, whose life ev'n now Shows somewhat of that happier life to come; Who, doom'd to an obscure but tranquil state, Is pleas'd with it, and, were he free to choose, Would make his fate his choice; whom peace, the fruit Of virtue, and whom virtue, fruit of faith, Prepare for happiness; bespeak him one Content sated to sojourn while he must Below the skies, but having there his home. The world o'erlooks him in her busy search Of objects, more illustrious in her view; And, occupied as earnestly as she, Though more sublimely, he o'erlooks the world. She scorns his pleasures, for she knows them not; He seeks not her's, for he has proved them vain. He cannot skim the ground like summer birds Pursuing gilded flies; and such he deems Her honours, her emoluments, her joys. Therefore in contemplation is his bliss, Whose pow'r is such, that whom she lifts from earth She makes familiar with a heav'n unseem, And shows him glories yet to be reveal'd. Not slothful he, though seemingly unemployed, And censured oft as useless. Stillest streams Oft water fairest meadows, and the bird That flutters least is longest on the wing. Ask him, indeed, what trophies he has rais'd, Or what achievements of immortal fame He purposes, and he shall answer—None. His welfare is within. There unfatigu'd His fervent spirit labors. There he fights, And there obtains fresh triumphs o'er himself. And never with ring wreaths, compar'd with which The laurels that a Cæsar reaps are weeds. Perhaps the self-approving haughty world, That as she sweeps him with her whistling ills Scarce deigns to notice him, or, if she see, Deems him a cypher in the works of God, Receives advantage from his noiseless hours, Of which she little dreams. Perhaps she views Her sunshine and her rain, her blooming spring And plenteous harvest, to the pray'r he makes, When, Isaac like, the solitary saint Walks forth to meditate at even-tide, And think on her, who thinks not for her- self. Forgive him, then, thou bustler in con- cerns Of little worth, an idler in the best, If, author of no mischief and some good, He seek his proper happiness by means That may advance, but cannot hinder, thine. Nor, though he tread the secret path of life, Engage no notice, and enjoy much ease, Account him an incumbrance on the state, Receiving benefits, and rend'ring none, His sphere though humble, if that humble sphere Shine with his fair example, and though small His influence, if that influence all be spent In soothing sorrow and in quenching strife. In aiding helpless indigence, in works From which at least a grateful few derive Some taste of comfort in a world of woe, Then let the supercilious great confess He serves his country, recompenses well The state, beneath the shadow of whose vine He sits secure, and in the scale of life Holds no ignoble, though a slighted, place. The man, whose virtues are more felt than seen, Must drop indeed the hope of public praise; But he may boast what few that win it can— That, if the country stand not by his skill, At least his follies have not wrought her fall. Polite refinement offers him in vain Her golden tube, through which a scru- al world
Draws gross impurity, and likes it well, Than its conveyance hiding all its offence. Not that he perversely rejects a mode Because that world adopts it. If it bear The stamp and clear impression of good sense, And be not costly more than of true worth, He puts it on, and, for decorum sake, Can wear it e'en as gracefully as she. She judges of refinement by the eye, He by the test of conscience, and a heart Not soon deceiv'd; aware that what is base No polish can make sterling; and that vice, Though well perfum'd and elegantly dress'd, Like an unburi'd carcass trick'd with flow'rs, Is but a garnished nuisance, fitter for For cleanly riddance than for fair attire. So life glides smoothly and by stealth away, More golden than that age of fabled gold Renown'd in ancient song; not vest with care Or stain'd with guilt, benificent, approv'd Of God and man, and peaceful in its end. So glide my life away! and so at last, My share of duties decently fulfill'd, May some disease, not tardy to perform Its destined office, yet with gentle stroke, Dismiss me, weary, to a safe retreat Beneath the turf that I have often trod.
WILL be sold at public vendue on Tuesday the 18th day of October next, pursuant to the last will of Joseph Glass, deceased, a very valuable PLAN- TATION, on the head waters of Ope- kon, five miles S.

There is a good Orchard, and a large quantity of Meadow. One third of the purchase money at least, will be requi- red in hand and the remainder at two subsequent periods. An indisputable title will be made and possession given the first day of April, 1804. The sale to be on the premises. ROBERT GLASS, Ex'r. August 8, 1803.
