EXTRACTS
FROM A HISTORY OF THE LATE EUROPEAN WAR;
Just published in London, in two volumes quarto—The author's name Alexander Stephens.
THE epoch of the French revolution, and the wars to which that celebrated event gave rise, almost justify the assertion, that the annals of mankind contain little more than a record of their crimes and calamities.
"At no period, either in antient or in modern times, have the revered names of religion, liberty, and social order, been so frequently invoked or so audaciously prostituted; and it is to be feared, that the civil rights of individuals, as well as that system of public morals called the law of nations, have received a deep and incurable wound."
"But, on the other hand, it is a series of singular, magnificent, and disastrous events, like that just alluded to, which affords suitable imagery of narrative, and constitute at once the miseries of society and the materials for history. He who is destined to retail recent transactions, if actuated by the spirit of independence, will have to recapitulate such a multitude of enormities, that the reign of Nero and Domitian must appear less intolerable from comparison. The murder of prisoners in open day; the public detention and assassination of ambassadors; the uncontrolled reign of that panic terror which appalled the innocent and not unfrequently spared the guilty; the triumph of men of blood over the public enemy as well as the most virtuous of their fellow citizens; one faction swallowed up by another, while the instrument of destruction was stretched forth, and the tomb yawned for the victors; a frantic populace dividing the palpitating members of their victims, and a king coolly murdering those subjects of a solemn treaty; the torture, at once the mark of a barbarous age and the opprobrium of a civilized one, publicly inflicted; while, as if to form a climax and to realize the metaphor of the ancient poets, the dogs of war were literally unchained, and the canine race employed to hunt down the human species; such is the galaxy of crimes presented during this night of wonders."
"Yet, notwithstanding these hideous pictures, Europe has displayed many uncommon instances of heroism, and some scenes have occurred in a neighbouring country which surpass all that is to be found during the boasted reign of Marcus Aurelius and the Antonines. Never did any nation exhibit such magnanimity, when threatened with subjugation, slavery and dismemberment, on the part of the combined powers of the continent: never did so many orators, philosophers, men of letters, and statesmen, evince such a perilous and deadly enmity to anarchy, injustice, and bloodshed; or prefer with so much readiness the uplifted axe of the executioner to the scorn of their contemporaries and the reproaches of posterity. Even the softer sex assuming a masculine courage, maintained their principles on the scaffold, and perished without a sigh before the statue of outraged liberty."
"The art of war, too, during this memorable period, has been carried on to a greater degree of perfection than in any former age; and the young tacticians of the new school have overcome generals grown hoary under arms. The machinery of battles has been calculated on a more gigantic scale; fleets have not only fought with greater fierceness; but exhibited evolutions hitherto unknown or unpractised; a single army sometimes extended its wings from the frontiers of France to the heart of Italy, while, at other periods, one immense line of soldiers has occupied the intervening country from the banks of the Rhine to the shores of the Adriatic."
"The sciences, also, have on this occasion followed in the train of Mars, and the fate of kingdoms appears to have been not unfrequently decided by their influence. In consequence of the introduction of one instrument, intelligence has not only been communicated with a degree of celerity nearly equal to that of sound, but with all the exactitude of literary communication; while another, un-
til lately considered as a toy, has been rendered subservient, on one occasion at least, to the attainment of victory."
[The conclusion is a spirited detail of the events by which that unhappy contest was distinguished.]
"Thus ended one of the longest, most interesting and most bloody contests which modern times have witnessed. It is not a little singular that no one of the great objects originally aimed at by the belligerent powers was obtained by an appeal to arms; while, on the contrary, those few nations which stood aloof during the struggle, deprived immense benefits from their prudence or good fortune. The vanity of Machiavellian statesmen ought to be mortified by the recollection, that no event has ever more notoriously belied their hopes and predictions, while those men who, reasoning from the analogies of nature and of history, calmly deduce effect from cause, and, under the name of philosophers, expose themselves to the suspicions and sometimes even to the proscriptions of ignorance and presumption clothed in the garb of authority, must be allowed to have possessed the rare merit of calculating the phases and foretelling the result of the revolutionary warfare."
"The treaties of Luneville and Amiens, by changing the relative situations of the various states in this quarter of the globe, have forced Europe to assume a novel as well as an ominous aspect. The boasted balance of power is changed, and the political chart is thenceforth to be calculated by a new scale."
"Two of the northern powers, profiting by the contentions of the neighbouring states, have cultivated commerce, manufactures, and the arts of peace, in the midst of the most calamitous struggle, and derived immense benefits from those conflicts that have beggared nations and destroyed kingdoms. Sweden, stripped of the precious metals, and obliged to recur to the wretched expedient of leathern money, in consequence of the brilliant but destructive achievements of Charles XII. has increased her ships, her manufactures, and her commerce. Denmark also, by reaping the obvious advantages resulting from a good politic neutrality, has added greatly to her prosperity; and the cities of Copenhagen and Altona, under the administration of a prince regent, have received an immense accession of wealth; the cloud has passed away which threatened the navigation of the Sound; and the trade of the nations on its borders has been secured in case of a future contest by new and advantageous concessions."
"Russia towering like a colossus above the neighbouring states, has neither added to nor diminished the extent of her dominions by the late conflict; but she feels a consciousness of her own power and preponderance; and while she acts, even now, occasionally, as the mediator and the umpire of contending nations, bids fair to realize those gigantic projects of ambition which originated in the genius of Peter the Great. Alexander Paulewitch appears to be preparing a new destiny for that immense empire, at the same time that he is acquiring stability for his own government. By removing the feudal prejudices against commerce he has opened a new source of wealth and industry for the nation; while aware, by the dire experience of a father and grandfather of the evils as well as the dangers of despotism, he insures continuance of his own power by sharing it with the senate."
"But if the north of Europe was fortunate enough to be in some measure exempt from a calamity, the south has been pregnant with changes. The Cisalpine republic chiefly composed of territories dismembered from the house of Austria, has at once been created and protected by France; while the Venetian possessions on the continent are subjected, in their turn, to the government of the cabinet of Vienna. Genoa, rescued from dependence by the wisdom and firmness of Andrew Doria, and once famous in the annals of war and of commerce, is now known under the antient name of Liguria; while, by an express convention between Russia and the Porte, the settlements in the Ionian sea recently subjugated by their arms are permitted, in consequence of the jealousy of

two of the most arbitrary governments of Europe to assume the name and outward forms of a commonwealth. To add to this singularity by a solecism in politics, it is expressly stipulated by treaty that the Republic of the Seven Isles is to be at once free and independent; to be regulated by no superior, and yet to be tributary to the Grand Sultan.
"The prelate who has ascended the pontifical throne under the name of Pius VII. retains but a small portion of the patrimony of St. Peter, and in state and grandeur scarcely equals a cardinal during those times when the terrors of the triple crown appalled the most powerful sovereigns of Europe. Chiaromonti, more politic, more sage, and more humble, than his predecessor Brachi, is, at the same time better acquainted with the spirit of the age in which he lives; and in imitation of the primitive fathers of the church, knows how to bend like a willow beneath that storm which would root up the opposing oak and scatter its branches in the air.
"France, at first persecuted into greatness, has, on the contrary, obtained every object which can be coveted by a great people, save that for which she originally contended. With the exception of one single nation alone, she has either terrified or overpowered every foe with her devouring armies; while countries hitherto accustomed only to the shouts of triumph have shrunk and withered up beneath the ardour of her innumerable warriors. The Alps, the Appennines, the Pyrenees, have been scaled; the Rhine, the Trebia, the Inn, and the Danube, have been crossed by her adventurous legions.
"The battles of Fleurus, of Lodi, of Marengo, and of Hohenlinden, have added a population of thirteen millions to an empire which, during the early part of the reign of Louis XIV. had nearly wrested the sceptre of Independence from Europe, associated against it. The narrow seas, the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean, and the utmost frontiers of Piedmont, convey but a feeble idea of the limits of Consular France, armed against every opponent in the north, and wielding the new republic of Italy against its enemies in the south of Europe. But this colossal state, great in arts and in arms, is still defective in her social institutions; and with the barren name of a republic, inherits no portion of that freedom which alone can confer real happiness on individuals, or true greatness on nations.
"While the scanty sacrifices at the altar were made at the cost of two of her confederates, all the new acquisitions became her own; the catalogue of French conquest has been thus swelled at the expense of both her enemies and her allies.
"From the house of Austria she has obtained the country of Falkenstein, the Frickthal, a portion of the isle of Elba, and the whole of the Belgic provinces. The empire surrendered all that important tract of country situated on the left bank of the Rhine, including the Duchies of Deux-ponts, Juliers, and the Palatinate; even Prussia was obliged to yield a portion of her territories in the same quarter. The King of the two Sicilies had ceded Porto Legano; his brother the king of Spain, besides some advantageous arrangements for the extension of the French frontiers in Europe, relinquished part of St. Domingo, together with the whole of Louisiana. The Ottoman Porte, notwithstanding the recent outrages against its territories, granted certain commercial privileges; and in addition to similar ones on the part of Portugal, the prince regent has agreed, that the dominions of that crown in Guiana should in future be limited by the river Carapanatuba. The Batavian republic has surrendered Dutch Flanders, the right side of the Hondt, together with Maestricht and Venlo; France has also obtained an equal claim with Holland to the port of Flushing; and, in case of future hostilities, her garrisons are to be admitted in Breda, Bois-le-Duc, and Bergen op Zoom.
"From the crown of Sardinia, the republic acquired Piedmont, Savoy, in short every thing valuable appertaining to the fallen monarch: she has also been enabled to confer part of her spoils on the kings and commonwealths which she had designed to associate in her fortune. Tuscany, together with the presidial states and the territory of Piombino, were accordingly transferred to the hereditary prince of Parma, at the expense of the grand duke, and the court of Naples; while the Cisalpine republic carved out of the Italian dominions of the
"The sum of 70,000 piasters is to be transmitted annually to Constantinople by a solemn embassy."
Pope and the Emperor, is swayed by the same sceptre, or rather by the same sword, that regulates the destinies of France. All the possessions of the house of Austria on the left bank of the Rhine, between Zarrach and Basle, have been ceded to the Helvetic republic; in return for this, a new constitution has been sketched out in the cabinet of the consular palace, recommended by an imperious mandate, and enforced by republican bayonets. Such are the triumphs of a people whose territories are liberated from feudal bondage, whose agriculture is unfettered by ecclesiastical imposts, whose measure of military glory is complete, and who want civil liberty alone to rival the splendour and happiness of the most famous nations of antiquity.
"But although the herd of mankind is generally governed by events and considers nothing unjust provided it be successful, it may be necessary to discriminate, and endeavour, if possible, like an enlightened and impartial posterity, to deliberate before we presume either to censure or to praise. The recent history of France presents no less than five grand epochs, all of which are interesting, but each varies in shape and feature from that which precedes, as well as that which follows it. The characters too are entirely different; for while one confers honor on man, considered as a social being, another covers the human species with opprobrium and disgrace. The gentle reign of orators, statesmen, and legislators is soon forced to yield to the brutal sway of demagogues and men of blood; the warriors, accustomed to rule by the sword, and alike content in every age and country, then push the executioners encircled with civic oak from the scaffolds on which they sit enthroned, and almost obliterate their own misdeeds by the splendor of their victories.
"The first period exhibits a numerous body of men long retained in thralldom by the despotism of their monarchs, arousing from the slumber of ages, indignantly bursting their manacles, and declaring themselves free. The despots of the continent, decked in the recent spoils of violated Poland, immediately associate, under pretence of assisting a prince more gentle, more amiable, and consequently more beloved, than themselves; a war ensues, the shock of arms takes place, and the forests of Argonne and the heights of Valmy; decide a campaign pregnant with the fate of France and of Europe. How glorious the struggle of a liberated nation! how resplendent the victory of a confederated people against so many combined kings! But a sudden transition takes place, and all the horrors of a civil war seem fated to accompany all the disasters of a foreign war. A sovereign, revered as a martyr by one portion of the nation, and detested as a traitor by another, perishes by a violent death; monarchy itself is annihilated with Louis XVII. & a republic proclaimed upon his tomb. The founders of the commonwealth are doomed to perish in their turn, and that too by the same instrument employed for the decollation of the last of the Bourbon kings. Robespierre, adored by the populace during his life, and Marat, deified after his assassination, are then wafted along a sanguinary torrent to the possession of supreme power, and rule for a while by means of spies and executioners.
"A less unfavorable epoch now presents itself, and the directorial government promises to repair the errors and the crimes of the tyrant. Immense armies take the field, decisive battles are fought, great victories are achieved, and Germany is prepared for dismemberment and Italy for subjugation.
"At length a military leader arises, and conquers, first for the republic, and then for himself. In consequence of a peace, as brilliant as the war which he had achieved, he seems to consider Europe as too small a theatre for his ambition; and arriving with a powerful fleet and a numerous army in Africa, he meditates to imitate the Macedonian hero, and finish his career of conquests by the subjugation of Asia. After gaining many victories over the degenerate Turks and warlike Mamelukes, he at length experiences a repulse before an ill-fortified city, garrisoned by the half-disciplined troops of a rebel Pacha, and is reduced to the mortifying necessity of treating with the Ottoman Porte, whose faith he had spoiled. Uncertain of his destiny, he leaves Egypt, and his army, by stealth, arrives suddenly in Europe, takes advantage of the corrupt and feeble government of those who happened to be invested with the Gallick purple, surrounds himself with a mercenary soldiery, and uniting the treachery of Monk with the decisive conduct and victori-
ous career of Cromwell, becomes sovereign under the name of Consul.
"Not yet safe, he flies into Italy by a route deemed impassable, again overwhelms veteran armies and ancient states, once more erects new commonwealths, renders his foes and his confederates tributary, extends the limits of France and of his own power, and is hailed, first, as the pacificator of the continent, and then, of the world.
"After this, under pretence of protecting commerce and extending his paternal protection to the colonies, he violates the plighted honor of the nation to the unhappy negroes, who had armed and fought in behalf of France and their own liberty; while the veteran troops which had escaped the sword and the bayonets of the English, the Austrians, the Prussians, the Turks, and the Mamelukes, perish by the diseases of St. Domingo and the vengeance of her sable inhabitants.
"An African Chief, who had risen, like himself, from obscurity, is first decoyed into a treaty by means of his paternal feelings, and the present of his children, educated at the expense of the republic, becomes the signal of his own bondage. Carried captive into France, under pretext of a breach of faith, he is secluded from the rays of the sun, and consigned to the gloom of a dungeon, while his countrymen fight amidst the mornes and ravines of a ruined colony, in behalf of that very cause which enabled France to combat and to triumph on the plains of Champagne.
"Such is the brief epitome of a revolution which commenced under the mild despotism of a French King, and ended in the accession of an enterprising Corsican, who appears desirous of no other titles to empire than fortune and his sword. No man of modern, and scarcely one of ancient times, can be compared to him, whose life, short, brilliant, and glorious, resembles a romance rather than a history; who has subjugated the restless genius of the nation over which he rules by means of a military government; who holds consultas for the regulation of distant states, and forms codes for the direction of nations hitherto independent."
LATE FROM EUROPE.
PARIS, March 23.
The sentence of death against the duke D'Enghien, was carried into execution in the night between the 21st and 22nd. He was shot in the Roi de Vincennes, about two o'clock in the morning. The prince was brought hither from Ettenheim on the evening of the 20th, in a coach with six horses, under an escort of fifty Gens d'Armes, and carried to the temple, but not imprisoned there; his conductors, on their arrival, finding an order to convey him to the castle Vincennes. What is termed a military commission immediately assembled.
The prince was so extremely fatigued with his journey, that he could scarcely refrain from sleeping, in this critical moment. He desired to speak with the first consul, but this could not be permitted. He then collected himself and met death with firmness. It is said that he would not suffer his eyes to be bound. Several generals were present when he was shot.
The first Consul is now at Malmaison, and only admits in his presence such persons as have to speak with him on business.
Pichegru will not suffer the wounds which he received at the time of his arrest, to be bound up.
Some of the persons implicated in the late conspiracy have escaped into Switzerland, in consequence of which general Vial has given in a note to the government of Berne.
April 6.
A report has been circulated here for these two days past with some confidence, that the French in Hanover would very soon be replaced by Prussian troops, and that the Elbe and Weser would then be immediately declared free.
BALTIMORE, May 22.
Arrived at the fort last evening, the ship Augusta, Capt. Clark, from Liverpool, which she left on the 15th ult.
Capt. Clark states, that it was reported at Liverpool just before he sailed, that George the III. had relapsed and died very suddenly; and that Moreau, Pichegru, &c. had been removed from Paris to the interior of France.
NEW-YORK, May 25.
The French frigates Dido and Sybille,
each of 44 guns, from Guadaloupe, where they recently arrived from France with troops, arrived last evening, and anchored at the quarantine ground. The object of their coming here is unknown.
NEW-ORLEANS, April 8.
Tranquility has yet been preserved, although considerable exertions are daily made to excite discontent. The people (I mean the ancient inhabitants) are extremely jealous of the American government, and their ignorance renders them the easy dupes of a few designing men, headed (as is well known) by the French prefect L'Aussat. The night before last, a placard was posted in different parts of the city, calling on the people to revolt. It was written with much ability, and calculated to influence the passions of men less likely to be led away than they are. They were told to recollect that the blood of the Gaul and Castilian flowed in their veins, and that the present moment was the only one that would ever offer itself to assert their ancient dignity, and rescue themselves from slavery. This was ordered to be taken down about nine o'clock in the morning, after every one had read it. But it had produced no great effect, nor are the authors of it as yet discovered. Four fifths of the inhabitants are French and Spaniards, and we have not two hundred troops in the city. Notwithstanding this inferiority I have no doubt, should any difficulties occur, we shall gain the ascendancy.
PHILADELPHIA, May 24.
A letter from an Officer on board the Constitution, after mentioning the destruction of the Philadelphia, says, "Each officer strove to be employed in the expedition; but most of them were refused, but with assurances, however, that they should all have opportunities enough of displaying their courage in the course of the summer."
A letter from another officer mentions, that the vessel sent to destroy the frigate, entered the harbor of Tripoli, in the night, and passing for a Maltese was assisted by those on board the Philadelphia in getting along side, where having arrived the Americans instantly sprung on board and soon had her in their power.
Lieutenant Decatur, and Midshipman Morris were the first persons who boarded the Philadelphia. The united voices of the other officers and seamen employed highly extol their conduct on the occasion. The latter has been promoted.
The Constitution was preparing for a cruise of six months off Tripoli; and the commodore intended to bombard the place unless a favourable peace should be agreed on.
All the letters from on board the United States' vessels in the Mediterranean, speak in high terms of the superior skill and indefatigable vigilance of Commodore Preble. The letters which mentioned the pacific proposals of the Bashaw, were dated at Syracuse, January 17, and 20. The letter announcing the burning of the Philadelphia is dated Feb. 20 and 22; and as preparations were then making for the bombardment of Tripoli, it is evident there had been a "rupture of the negotiation."
From a late Paris paper.
The chief of battalion, Tauvernay, arrived lately from St. Domingo, at Paris. He had been absent fifteen months, and was, before his departure betrothed to a Mademoiselle de Vernals. At his return, he hastened to see his mistress, and pressed her to fix the day of their marriage. The Sunday following was agreed on; and his sister was informed of the day that should make him happy. In one of those unguarded moments, when the most prudent may err Miss Tauvernay determined to try her brother's love, by giving him reason to be jealous of his mistress. She told him, that as an affectionate sister she was sorry to see him so much attached to a lady, who did not return his love; and to convince him, she asked him the next day to be in the Bois de Boulogne, not far from La Bagatelle, and, at five o'clock in the afternoon, he would undoubtedly find Mademoiselle de Vernals in her usual evening's walk, accompanied with her usual evening's companion. With an anxiety of mind easily to be imagined he arrived at the fatal spot, where he had not been long before he saw his mistress not only arm in arm with a genteel young man, but caressing him in a manner that would have bewildered an imagination less heated than his own. No sooner had his mistress and her companion passed his

place of concealment, than he rushed forward and shot them both through the head. But what was his surprize after this desperate act to find the supposed youth whom he had murdered as a rival was his own sister. He drew his sword and stabbed himself to the heart, as a punishment for his jealousy and his crime. In his pocket was found a letter addressed to his sister, thanking her for her information, and bequeathing her all his property. Tauvernay was 27 years of age, Miss Tauvernay 21, and Medemoiselle de Vernois 19.
ALEXANDRIA, May 22.
The Secretary of the Navy has issued orders to the officers at New-York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, to close their recruiting rendezvous, and to repair, without delay, to their respective ships.
OFFICIAL.
As a testimonial of the PRESIDENT'S high opinion of the gallant conduct of Lieutenant DECATUR, in taking and destroying the frigate Philadelphia, a commission to him as Captain of the Navy has been duly issued, and will without delay be transmitted to Commodore Preble, to be presented to him.
[Nat. Int.]
Extract of a letter from Commodore Preble to the Secretary of the Navy, dated on board the Constitution, Syracuse harbour, February 19, 1804.
Feb. 12th.—I received about 20 Maltese sailors and pilots from the island of Malta which, by permission of the Governor, I ordered to be shipped there.—These men I shall want to distribute among our sailors in latteen boats, as they are accustomed to them.
19th.—A prize to the Nautilus has this moment arrived, captured to the east of Tripoli. She is a brig from Malta under English colours, bound to Tripoli, loaded with hemp and spars, ready made sails, bale goods, and building stone, and has 9 Tripolines on board.
Extract of a letter to the Secretary of the Navy from the commanding officer of a Detachment of marines sent hence to New-Orleans, dated Havannah, April 23, 1804.
Having but three days water on board it was deemed expedient to put in here for an additional supply. The governor has manifested towards us the most friendly dispositions and has afforded us every accommodation in obtaining the requisite supplies. I have great pleasure in informing you that the governor has lately passed a decree prohibiting the French privateers from bringing American prizes into any of the ports of Cuba.
Mr. Gibbs who arrived, in the brig Susannah, from Turks Island, was informed by a captain from Cape Francois, that on or about the 20th of April, every Frenchman, woman and child, to be found in that place had been put to death—during which time no Americans had ventured to open their stores, for the purpose of doing any kind of business, but as the Mountain troops marched out on the morning of his quitting the Cape (the 30th of April) directly after it was supposed they would commence business. All kinds of American produce extremely high and in great demand.—Plunder of every description to be purchased, for 100th part of its value.
[N. Y. Paper.]
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of great respectability in London, to his friend in Philadelphia.
"I am truly happy to hear of the growing prosperity of your continent. With respect to our island, it was never in my recollection so easy and happy; and wishing for nothing so much as the attempt of invasion to be realised. But what can an invading army effect, without a covering fleet. The French dare not shew a single boat out of the reach of their batteries, whilst they ridiculously vapour and threaten, and which must be contemplated with contempt by all nations. We have blocked every seaport; their navy is ruined, and what they have cannot be manned. They have no other trade but war, no wealth but from plunder, whilst the head of the empire is a tyrant and usurper, and his fortune suspended by a mere thread. He can make no impression on England, where every man is united; but he may find it hard to quiet the restless and variable minds of an army ready to attack a foe, or plunder a friend—to pull down, as well as to elevate a leader."
Accounts from New-Orleans to the 15th April, state, That the army of Louisiana had left that place three days
previous for Pensacola. The late Prefect, Mr. L'Aussat, was on the eve of departing. His destination was unknown. He was to sail in the brig Natchez, some said for Gaudaloupe, others for Charleston. He took a formal leave of the American commissioners on the 12th, and was received at the government house with great respect and ceremony. The American inhabitants intended giving a sumptuous entertainment to the commissioners, previous to the departure of General Wilkinson.
It appears that some uneasiness was excited at New-Orleans by the appearance there of the letter from Governor Claiborne to the president of the United States, which was published in the papers of the United States. It will be recollected that this letter spoke in very unhandsome and contemptuous terms of the merchants, planters, and others of that country. Some Frenchmen, who conceived themselves calumniated by the Governor, have manifested unusual irritation; inflammatory publications have been the consequence, inviting the inhabitants to resist the government of the United States. The Governor has declared the letter to be a mutilated extract from the genuine letter, and on the 15th the public feeling seemed to be subsiding.
MARTINSBURG, June 1.
Died, on the 26th ult. Mr. WILLIAM ORRICK, of this County.
Morgan Lewis, Esq. is elected Governor of New-York, by a majority of 9,000 votes.
Caleb Strong, Esq. is re-elected Governor of Massachusetts, by a majority of 6,000 votes.
Jonathan Trumbull, Esq. is re-elected Governor of Connecticut, by a majority of upwards of 4,000 votes.
We are authorised to state that the Federal Republicans of the state of Delaware have agreed to support
NATHANIEL MITCHELL, esq. for the office of Governor—and
JAMES A. BAYARD, esq. as Representative to Congress, at the next election. From the increase of federalism in that state, there can be little doubt of their election. [W. Fed.]
A letter from an American gentleman of information, in France, dated the 5th of April, says, "there is no very late news. Flotillas continue to be expedited along the coast; and preparations for warmaking with unabating perseverance. The English squadrons being daily in sight, and even anchoring near these preparations, without power however to intercept them, owing to their keeping near the shore, protected by forts and flying artillery."
"I am however of opinion that the more formidable these preparations in the channel, the more certainly there is of a blow being struck elsewhere, in a short time. They laugh themselves here, when you seriously talk of the invasion. The idea I believe has now subsided. It would not be safe for me to say any thing relative to the late conspiracy. A young man (one of the Bourbon family) was a few days since condemned as an accomplice."
On Tuesday; the 24th of April, Henry Grymes of Bath county, in the state of Virginia, under the influence of delirium, broke his skull with a stone! After having shattered it, he took out a piece about three inches long and two broad. Concluding that this would not put a period to his existence, he thrust his fingers into his head, and tore out a considerable quantity of his brains! Instead of immediate death, he instantly returned to the full exercise of reason and walked home, the distance of a quarter of a mile, where he died the Thursday evening following. He appeared very penitent and rational, until he expired, and in the mean time gave to his friends the above statement of the melancholy transaction. The cause of this derangement is not certainly known but is believed to have been a disappointment in marriage. Through the whole of his life he supported an unsullied character.
[Northern pap.]
It is fortunate for our country that Federalists have hitherto been permitted to hold commissions in the navy, though they have been, almost to a man, thrust out of every civil employment under the government. Whether the democrats are less greedy of those offices in which powder and ball are concerned, than of those by which money and consequence
are to be obtained, or whether the "Lord High Admiral" supposes that there exists a sympathetic dread of fire arms among the whole democratic sect, we cannot say. Certain it is, however, from whatever cause, that the commissions of our naval officers have been permitted, almost without exception, to remain in those hands in which they were placed by Washington and Adams. The late honourable achievement of young Lieut. Decatur in the Mediterranean, must excite emotions of exultation in every one capable of feeling an interest in the glory of his country. As federalists, we have a right to exult, that the brave captor of Le Croyable , though he himself has retired from the navy, has left a son who thus early promises to do honour to his father, his friends, and his country.
[U. S. Gaz.]
From the Charleston Courier.
Although "we are all federalists—at republicans," yet, it seems, that all the federalists are to be driven from office as soon as it can be determined which of the expectants of their offices is the most deserving of them. Major William Jackson has been turned out of the office of Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia, and Mr. Bache appointed to it. Mr. Bache is a relation of B.F. Bache , who established the newspaper called the Aurora , and which afterwards became Duane's by his marrying the widow Bache .
The present Surveyor was a boy during the revolution. Major Jackson , at the commencement of it, received a commission in the regiment then commanded by General Pinckney .
When General Lincoln arrived in the Southern States to take command of the armies in them, Major Jackson became a member of his family. After the surrender of Charleston he accompanied Gen. Lincoln to Philadelphia, where, at the close of the war (through the whole of which he had served) he commenced the study of law. The National Convention which formed the Constitution of the United States had three candidates presented to them for the place of Secretary of Convention. The Virginia delegation supported the pretensions of Mr. Beckley , who went from Richmond to Philadelphia in full confidence of being appointed. Pennsylvania and some of the Eastern States advocated the election of Mr. Franklin who was the grand son of Dr. Franklin . Major Jackson was nominated by the South Carolina delegation. His merits and his services obtained him the Secretaryship, altho' Mr. Beckley , came from Virginia and Mr. Franklin was recommended by being the grandson of that patriot and statesman Dr. Franklin , who was not only one of the most popular men in the nation, but also a member of the Convention. General Washington , when elected President of the United States, appointed Major Jackson his Secretary. This station he filled until the President was about retiring from office, when that sense of justice which always influenced the great mind of that great man, made him appoint Major Jackson "Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia." He is now dismissed, after having devoted the best years of his life in the service of his country, into which he entered in 1776. The public can judge more correctly from these facts, than from the honied declarations in Inaugural Speeches, or the equivocal promises in the answer to the New-Haven merchants, of the spirit in which government is administered. They will easily perceive that the head of our nation considers himself as the head of a party.
It would puzzle the ingenuity of the humble acceptants of office, who are eternally eulogising Mr. Jefferson , to reconcile his practice of dismissing the old officers, who in the revolutionary war led our troops to victory, with his avowal to the New-Haven merchants, of selecting in his removals, "the anti-revolutionary adherents to the enemies of our country." It is not long since the doctors of the Virginia school were promising that the spirit of party would be laid, and that we should all live like the children of one family; like brothers, without dissensions. But it seems these doctors had become teachers, without having been scholars: they now learn that their chief has no wish to make proselytes through love, but like Mahomet , depends upon the force of terror for preserving his power and spreading his system.
The vices and follies proceed from a man's incapacity of entertaining himself, and we are generally fools in company because we dare not be wise alone.
FROM THE PORT FOLIO.
With me the rosy goblet share, With me enjoy the youthful hours, With me caress the frolic fair, With me compose the wreath of flowers.
Now drive with me dull thoughts away, With me defiance bid so sorrow; Be merry thou with me to-day, And I'll be wise with thee to-morrow.
SONG.
Through the festive circle gay, You see me move in frolic measure, Mark on my cheek, in purple play, The bloom of youth & smile of pleasure.
Ah! think not I am free from care, But think how hard it is to cover With smiles the anguish of despair, And pity an unhappy lover.
THE ORACLE CONSULTED.
What's a Frenchman?—Slavery's fool, What's a Briton?—Freedom's tool, Form'd to curb despotic rule— Fit with any foe to cope.
What's the Frenchman's view— Invasion —
If he find a fair occasion. What's the Briton's?—Full persuasion That he'll blast the Frenchman's hope.
What's the Frenchman's pleasure?— Plunder .
What's the Briton's!— NAVAL THUNDER , That shall make the Frenchman wonder, If he dare insult our strand.
What's the end?—to Frenchmen, madness, Disappointment, shame and sadness; But to Britons—glory, gladness, Safety in their native land.

Cheap Goods.
THE subscriber has just received at his store in Smithfield, a complete assortment of DRY GOODS and GROCERIES , which he has purchased uncommonly low, and is determined to sell them on like terms for Cash, or suitable country produce. He flatters himself, that the cheapness and elegance of his Goods, will induce every person that views them, to become purchasers: He returns his unfeigned thanks to his customers for their generous encouragement since his commencement in the mercantile line of business, and hopes to merit their continuance: He invites those who live at a distance and who have not yet become customers, to call and view his goods, and he presumes they will purchase before they leave his store.

The subscribers are empowered to sell
A VALUABLE PLANTATION, near Winchester, late the property of Joseph Glass, dec'd, containing 395 acres. This Plantation having been rented for nine years past, is now in bad repair; but from its situation, the quality of the soil, and excellence of the water, would deserve the finest improvements. There is on the premises a mill-seat with a fall of 29 feet, which will be sold with the Plantation, or reserved, as may suit the purchaser. Persons disposed to purchase will apply to either of the subscribers.

PETER BELL. Hagers Town, May 18, 1804.
STRAYED away from the subscriber, living near Snyder's mill, on Sleepy Creek, on the 16th of February last, a MARE , between a black and a brown colour, one of her hind feet white and a part of one of her nostrils white, between 14 and 15 hands high, hump backed, 7 years old this spring, had old shoes on when she went away, trots some but is a natural pacer, has never been docked and has a tolerable bushy main, has no brand. Three Dollars Reward and reasonable expenses will be paid to any person who will return said stray to CONRAD TRITAPOE. Berkeley County, May 18, 1803.
TAKEN up by the subscriber on the 14th of April last, an estray BARROW , of a white and black spotted colour, marked in the under side of the left ear with a slit, and a crop off the right ear, supposed to be more than a year old, and valued at two dollars. The owner is requested to prove property, pay charges, and take him away. JOHN BURNS. Berkeley County, May 18, 1804.
WHEREAS the extraordinary losses by Fire which have taken place, particularly the late Fire at Norfolk, which is believed to have been more extensive and injurious than any one which has ever happened in America, and by the payment of which, and to comply with the acts of Incorporation of the Mutual Assurance Society against Fire on Buildings of the State Virginia, it becomes necessary and expedient in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the said society, to replenish the Funds, and that a reparation among the whole of the persons insured, to the twenty-third day of February last, shall be made. That the Members of the said Society should pay their Quotas agreeably to the acts of the General Assembly, and the Constitution, Rules and Regulations made in pursuance thereof. Each Individual whose property is insured as aforesaid, is hereby NOTIFIED and REQUIRED TO PAY each his respective Quota—that is, the sum of one hundred dollars on every hundred dollars of his premium and tax on his respective building, and in that ratio—or in other words, a full Quota; to wit; the sum expressed in each policy; which payment is to be made to the Cashier General of the said society (Mr. William West) at Richmond, on or before the first day of August next.
The payment hereby required, when made, will reinstate the Funds again, according to the intention of the said acts and the principles of the institution; and it is no small consolation to say with truth that the society will thereby be enabled to meet any future accident as fully as if no loss had ever been sustained by it. It is unnecessary to enlarge on the necessity of payment being made pointedly to the day. Prudence, justice and humanity, all calling loud for punctuality, particularly, when it is recollected that the act of incorporation has the following clause:—"Whensoever any person or persons shall neglect to pay such quotas, the assurance to him made, shall cease and discontinue from the day which they become due, until paid." In addition to which, compulsory means, may also be resorted to, which will be expensive to the insured, and painful to the direction.
It is worthy the attention of all interested to recollect, that as the exact amount of every person's Quota, is stated in his policy, he can be at no loss to understand precisely the sum now called for in this requisition.
WILLIAM FOUSHEE, President M. A. S. Richmond, General Office of } Assurance, April 23d, 1804.
TAKE NOTICE.
WHEREAS the subscriber has passed two bonds, of one hundred pounds each, to Isaac Dawson of the state of Kentucky, one of them due the first day of March, 1803, the other on the first of March, 1804; as the money is now ready, and the said Dawson having failed to lift it, I am determined to pay no interest on the said bonds after this date.
ABRAHAM DAWSON. May 25, 1804.
HOTSPUR,
WILL stand at my stable the ensuing Season to cover mares at four dollars the season, the money to be paid on the 15th of October next; seven dollars to insure a colt, the money to be paid when the mare is known to be with foal, and one dollar and an half the single cover, the money paid down. Good clover pasture will be furnished for mares that come from distant places, at 25 cents per week, but I will not be responsible for accidents or escapes.
Hotspur is a fine bay, with a black stripe from his mane to his tail, sixteen and an half hands high, with bone in proportion, four years old the 19th day of this month. He was got by the Esopus ball, purchased for, between five and six hundred dollars, in Maryland, by Mr. James Foreman—his dam was purchased by me, for two hundred dollars of James Moore, who told me, she was got by Hotspur, imported by Col. Clarke in Pennsylvania, and was a mixture of the Hunter and Dray breeds. No horses are more useful to the inhabitants of this valley, than those who combine strength and activity together.
