Fifty Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY from Gen. Ridgely of Baltimore, on the 28th inst. a light coloured negro man, who calls himself WILLIAM MC. DONALD; He is about 24 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches high, neat in his dress, and has a good suit of hair. Had on, when he went away, a good beaver hat, a short light green cloth coat, edged with yellow, and yellow gilt buttons—a light stuff cassimere, double breasted waistcoat, a pair of dark olive coloured thickset pantalons—a white linen shirt, white ribbed cotton stockings, and a good pair of shoes with strings. He took with him a dark blue coat, a pair of olive cassimere pantalons, and a light corduroy pair of breeches; also a gold or pinchebeck watch, with a steel chain. He is fond of spirituous liquors, is intelligent, has a supple look, and chews to-bacco. He was bred in Charles county, Maryland, and purchased of Col. John Thomas by Gen. Ridgely. Whoever apprehends said negro, and secures him in any jail so that the owner may get him again, shall receive the above reward, with reasonable charges if brought home, or delivered to Joshua B.

Fifty Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the morning of Saturday the 19th inst. a negro servant man, named Wilks, but commonly called John, he is about 22 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, slender and knocked kneed; he is a dark mulatto, has thick bulky hair, which he commonly wears plaited and turned up short behind; his face is thin, but appears more so from having large whiskers; he had on when he went away, a rough hat about half worn, white mullin trowsers, a brown leeced hand coat with fashionable metal buttons, a black silk waistcoat, with a white one underneath, pantalons of a greyish cloth with buttons at the ancles, striped cotton stockings and shoes. He may have changed these clothes, but it is not likely, as he has left all his others behind him. I am told a servant of General Ridgely's, with whom he was intimate ran away on Sunday morning; it is not improbable but they are together. Wilks is from Chester-town on the eastern shore of this state, where he lived with a Mr. Jeremiah Nichols who sold him to me. I have good reason to believe he has gone to Philadelphia. The above reward will be given to any person who may lodge him in jail at that or any other place, and give me or Mr. Joseph S. Lewis of Philadelphia notice of the same. He is an excellent house servant, and if in Philadelphia will probably offer himself to hire in that capacity. W. GILMER. Baltimore, April 22--(25)

300 Dollars REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 18th of June inst. TWO NEGRO SERVANTS; viz a negro woman named Pat, a washer-woman and cook; of about fifty two years of age—tall and well shaped, of a black complexion. She has bad teeth, those of her under jaw are much discoloured and project a good deal. She has a full head of woolly hair—a very coarse forbidding countenance, is very impertinent, and laughs and talks loud. Pat was born in South Carolina, and speaks bad English, with the negro dialect. She has on the upper part of her breast, two pretty large lumps of flesh resembling Wens, or rather with the appearance of the marks of a burn. She carried away with her several changes of cloaths, and gowns of white mullin, and of coloured and figured printed cottons fashionably made up. She also carried away with her, CLARA her daughter—a very stout, robust, strong made girl, of a short stature, and round shouldered—appearing to be about 14 years of age. Clara has large flaring eyes, a flat nose, an oval flat face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artful and impudent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good language, and has been taught to read—She has the appearance of ring worms on her left cheek and chin; the skin in spots appearing much paler than the rest of her complexion, which is much lighter than her mother's—Her hair is short and woolly. She wore a pink grounded printed cotton with a small black figure, with new nose parts. Also ran away, on Wednesday the 11th inst. June, DICK and AMELIA. Dick, or as he has lately called himself, Richard Weaver, is a house-servant—he is about 5 feet 7 inches high, rather small made, is about 21 years old, of a good smooth, black complexion—a flat nose, with very large open nostrils. He carried his head and neck as if he were stiff in the neck and shoulders, which are high and tolerably square, and his neck short—his legs are straight but small and lilly made, with scarce any calf. He has bad teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward—he has a full head of woolly hair, which he pits and dresses to the best advantage. His voice is small, his speech commonly mild and slow, and his manners appear extremely simple, but he is at bottom an artful knave, and when spoken to is very apt to be passionate and impertinent. Dick is a native of South-Carolina, and speaks bad English—he feared and carried away with him Amelia, who he called his wife. Amelia is a very complete, well instructed ladies maid, much below the common stature, and of a small make—her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or mellize, nearly resembling that of the Lascars of India, with black curling hair, and a very low forehead—her right eye has a great weakness, owing to the small pox in her infancy—under her eyes very black—a flat face, flat broad nose, with scarce any rising at the bridge; a large mouth, with thick lips, and good strong teeth. On the nose of her neck she has the marks of a Seaton. Dresses with tails, and imitates the French style; is very sensible, and expresses herself well. She took with her a variety of clothes, fashionably made—she has for more than two years past been liable to fits, which at times give her a wildness in her eyes—her health is generally delicate—she is at present likely to enter her family, and is about 22 years of age—she can dress hair, clear brush, has a taste for millinery and mantua-making; and as she is very ingenious, can turn her hand to anything and may probably offer herself to some milliner or mantua maker as a work-woman. Amelia has heretofore been a great favourite of a very indulgent mistress, and 'tis believed has been led away by the persuasion of her paramour Dick, if she will return to me, she will be forgiven and treated with the same tenderness she has always received. FIFTY DOLLARS Reward for each will be paid for the delivery of Pat and Clara to the subscriber, or to any goal in the United States, so that I may get possession of them—One Hundred Dollars each for Dick and Amelia, on the like delivery. The subscriber warns all master of vessels, from taking these Runaway servants from the United States, and requests such of his friends and acquaintance as it may not suit to arrest them, to give information, should they hear of either of the fugitives, to the subscriber by letter directed to the post office, Philadelphia, which will find him, wherever he may pass the summer, or to the Printer of the Gazette of the United States, who will communicate it to a friend in Philadelphia to act on his behalf. JACOB READ, Of South-Carolina, corner of Fourth and Union-streets, Philadelphia. June 25.
THE UNDERSIGNED, HIS Swedish Majesty's Consul General, and authorized to transact the Consular business, for his Majesty the King of Denmark in the United States of America, residing at Philadelphia, Hereby gives public Notice, That in obedience to recent instructions received from his government, it is the duty of all Masters of Swedish and Danish vessels, before their sailing from any port in the said States, to call upon him or the Vice Consul, in order to be granted such Certificates for their Cargoes, which the exigency of the state of the Neutral Commerce and the several Decrees of the Belligerent Powers, renders indispensable necessary, and that any Master of vessels belonging to the respective nations, or navigating under the protection of their flags, in omitting to take such certificates, will personally stand responsible for the consequences.

THE JEFFERSONIAN.
No. 1.
WHEN Men embark upon the tempe-rous ocean of public life, when they attempt to ascend the political ladder, without a reference to the integrity of the means by which their ends are to be accomplished, and more especially when by aiming at the fan-magistracy of a free people, they stake the public happiness against their own ambition, it becomes the right of every citizen to canvas their characters with freedom to examine their claims to political pre-eminence—and if found wanting, to hold up their dementi in full orem to the public.
As a public officer legally and constitutionally elected Mr. Jefferson is entitled to the respect and support of every true lover of good government. For libels uttered against him, affecting him in his present public character, I would as severely punish the offender, as if Mr. Jefferson had been a wife as Adams, or as pious principles and virtuous as Washington. It is the Office and not the Man which the laws compel us to respect; and however difficult it may be to cherish Mr. Jefferson as a lover of the Constitution, when in his letter to Mazzie, he avows his determination to overthrow it; however impossible it may seem, to revere him for his piety when we believe the pride of his infidel philosophy; to respect his patriotism when we behold his servile adulation of a foreign nation; to admire his firmness when we recollect him flying through Virginia before a handful of British horse. Yet our duty as citizens compels us to consider the Vice President as pure and as white as the snow upon the mountain's top.
Mr. Jefferson has once suffered himself to be placed, and we understand he again solicits the same disgraceful pre-eminence, at the head of the gallico, democratic, jacobinical party in the United States, whose avowed aim, as their name purports, is—1st, To throw this country into the arms of maternal France.—2dly, To substitute a pure and unmixed democracy, in place of our well balanced Republic—and 3dly, To Jacobinize revolutionize and of course, demoralize the people of these happy United States.
With this view, this party are aiming to raise their dux gregis , their leader, to the Supreme Executive of this country. Fondly flattering themselves, that if they can succeed in this object, they shall meet with no obstacles to the accomplishment of the most wicked of their designs and discontented hearts.
The writer of these pieces, Mr. Ruffel, is one of those odds fissioned Americans, who has yet some respect for the principles and institutions of our ancestors, and though he agrees with the Jacobins in the opinion, that the election of Mr. Jefferson will crown their wishes with complete success, yet he is not quite ripe for the introduction of this new order of things. He yet believes in the existence of a God and in the influence of an over-ruling Providence. He is not prepared to discard the Christian religion, nor to ridicule our crucified Saviour as an upstart impostor. He has some veneration for the external ceremonies of religion, and is not fully prepared for abolishing the venerable order of the clergy, as an useless and burthensome class of men. He would not at the present juncture convert our Churches into Theatres, nor the temples of the most high into money changers. He deems citizen France our only natural ally , and Great Britain, necessarily our ready foe. He does not entertain a sentiment of gratitude to France, so strong as to be increased by ill usage and strengthened by insults. He is not a professed admirer of the French revolution, nor does he think its enormities simple deviations from moral rectitude , arising from "imperious necessity." He does not think Voltaire, Godwin and Volney, the greatest philosophers of the age; nor would he even now recommend Paine's Rights of Man , as a new relying point for Americans. He cannot boast of a foreign correspondent so respectable as Monf. Mazzie, nor if he could, would he unbosom himself to a foreigner, by disclosing the weaknesses and brightening the failings of his own country. Your correspondent does not entertain the opinion, that our government has too much energy , that public credit is a trick of politicians , and that the funding system is a stock jobbing scheme , which ought to be abolished. The treaty with Great Britain is not in his eye " peasant with evil " to this country, nor does he think that it was the duty of the Executive to consult France previous to its ratification. He will not subscribe as yet to the opinion, that Washington was either duped or corrupted, when he signed that obnoxious convention, nor that there is any decorum or delicacy in opposing a public measure, because it compels the opponent to discharge an ancient and honourable debt. In fine, his mind is not sufficiently illumined to reprobate all the past measures of the Federal Administration, and to brand Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Pickering, Cabot, Ellsworth, Ames, and an hundred others of its supporters, as artful and intriguing tyrants, who have been aiming to introduce a more despotic and arbitrary government. He does not believe, even on the authority of Mr. Jefferson, that " these Solomons in Council, and Sampsons in Combat ," are leagued to erect a monarchical form of
government. In all these points, however, your correspondent is sensible that he is directly opposed by the authority of the great and able Thomas Jefferson , and for that reason feels himself justified to contribute his mite to keep him from seizing the reins, and commencing the character of State. With this view, the merits of Mr. Jefferson will be examined in the following points of light:
1st. A Brief Sketch of his political life will be attempted, from whence we may determine whether this champion of liberty is really contending for the People, or aiming at objects of personal ambition.
2dly. His religious principles will be shortly examined, in which we shall have occasion to touch upon his character as a Philosopher.
3dly. His political character and tenets, abstracted from his conduct, will be fully considered, in which we may be enabled to expose his mean subserviency to the views of a foreign nation, and his contradiction on some great and leading points.
These views will be pursued in the following numbers.

"By their works, ye shall know them."
MR. RUSSELL.
I propose to take a brief review of Mr. Jefferson's past history, that we may be the better enabled to judge of the purity and disinterestedness of his character.
The noisy patriots of all ages have cloaked their selfish designs under clamorous professions for the public good. They profess not only to be friendly to, but to be enamoured of the people: They breathe forth their sighs of love to the enraptured ears of the mob in every conventional and dram shop—they swear by their truth , and by their patriotism , that in the people recedes all power, and that they alone are capable of exercising it. They charge every man who will not stoop to the same meannesses, with being the hardy advocate of monarchy and the sworn foe of the people. Such is the peculiar situation of this country, that this race of patriots generate here in greater numbers than in any other part of the world. Moral, physical and political causes conspire to multiply the swarms of these disinterested citizens. Hence offering minds have better opportunities, here , to analyze, to examine and to detail the characteristics of this genus of statesmen , and from twenty years experience, I have marked the progress, the same principles, and the same passions, from the bold spirit who directs the great movements of the National Faction, down to the miserable apes who regulate the plottings of a Hatter's shop—From the idol Jefferson, to the dupe Honeker. Those distinguished features, although they sometimes vary their strength of coloring in different characters, according to their temperaments, ore, restlessness ; a discontented spirit; jealousy, envy of superior talents of good fortune—cumming, intriguing tempers, preferring to attain their objects by devious rather than by direct paths; consummate vanity; overweening pride, and inordinate ambition.
One would have supposed, that honest minds who really felt that profound respect for the people which these false and hollow patriots profess, would be solicitous to prove their purity and distinguished virtue by running all officers of honor, emolument and trust; and could content themselves with informing the public mind from the skill and humble shade of private life: thus proving by their practice, the correctness of their theory, that the people are the real source of power, and capable directly of conducting it.
Let us now see how the first self-named "Patriot," Mr. Jefferson, has acted up to the tell of his principles. Mr. Jefferson, if I have been rightly informed, was by profession a Lawyer. Yes, Honestus! a Lawyer. Honestus! Well, what of that? Some lawyers are the greatest patriots, witness patriot Randolph, patriot Dallas, patriot Burr, patriot Hitchborn, and patriot Morton. Mr. Jefferson at the Bar, acquired that commanding eloquence which might have been devoted to private life, to inform, enlighten, and persuade. In what manner has it been employed? To flatter, beguile, and elevate his professor to the highest seats in the Government. Mr. Jefferson, availing himself of a popularity which his spacious talents had acquired, came into the first Congress of the U. States :—That Theatre was not however sufficiently distinguished to compensate for its dangers; and the unaspiring Jefferson retired to his Native State, that he might assume the purple in the office of Governor of the Ancient Dominion . Thus this modest patriot at about thirty years of age, from mere love to the people shrunk into the first office then in the power of that people to bestow. This patriot, however, is not blessed with nerves strong enough for his ambition, which his fellow-patriots Burr, or Brock-holst Livingston, might easily spare him. Driven by as many as fifty British and bloody minded Hussars to those fastnesses in the mountains, which his terror has since enabled him to beautifully and feelingly to describe, he determined on quitting a post in which the people encountered so much hazard of losing their purest and most disinterested friend. Secure in his retreat at Monticello , from the fangs of a blood-thirsty foe, he had philosophic quiet and calmness to write those elegant Notes upon Virginia, so honorable to his taste and so useful to his political opponents, and upon which I shall hereafter expatiate with pleasure.
When the storms of war had subsided, the philosophic politician peeped out of his hermitage, and prompted by the same disinterested affection for his fellow-citizens, courted and accepted an embassy to the Mo-
narch of France. At that voluptuous and accomplished court, with a salary of six thousand dollars per annum , which the people could easily pay, after an impoverishing war, the ambassador had leisure and opportunity to polish his manners, strengthen his zeal for republicanism, improve his piety, and lay the foundation of that ardent affection for France, which has burnt with equal sincerity, to the Monarch, to the Convention, to the National Assembly, to Robespierre, to the Five Kings , and to king Bonaparte . Thus improved in virtue, religion, and love of liberty, the ambassador returned to his native country, and urged by that never-failing stimulus, the public good, accepted the dignified office of Secretary of State . In that station, he had an excellent opportunity to prove the republican candour and frankness of his character, for while with able and eloquent language he officially defended the measures of administration, he unofficially supported 'a truly republican' press edited by Freneau, abusing & vilifying that very administration; While in his public communications, he refuted the insolent pretensions of Genet, he kept a private and very good understanding with the French faction in this country, and at the same moment recommended the republication of Paine's Rights of Man , that Americans might again ' Rally' around the principles which they had deserted.—Disgusted at last, with being the pageant of an office, in which his practice and principles were directly at variance, he again retired to private life, from whence he modestly emerged in the elevated office of Vice-President of the United States . Still his love for the people is not wholly gratified—it is a lustful affection of the mind which cannot be cloyed even by satiety.
He yet teems with ardour to promote the cause of republicanism in the arduous but humble situation of President of the United States . Thus has this retiring citizen evinced his patriotism by seeking every office of honor and emolument which his enamorado , the people, could bestow.—Rising through the various profitable offices of member of Congress, Governor, Ambassador, Secretary of State, Vice-President, until he is ready to grasp the chair of state.—May it prove to him an ignis fatuus ; may it elude his fond embrace.

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
BOSTON, June 28.
Since our last, the public mind has received additional agitation from the account by Capt. Hils, of the capture of the Ship Juno , of this port, by the British frigate Cleopatra , Capt. Isaac Pellet; under pretence of having Spanish produce or property on board. To the real well-wishers of our country's tranquility, it is greatly afflicting, to learn these repeated acts of robbery and detention. In the case before us, we know the Juno to have been built in this port, and to be laden with a cargo, the entire property of citizens of this town and Charleston. Her papers, too, we know to be all fair, regular and authentic; and that she was bound on a lawful voyage to a friendly port. Thus circumstanced, to be captured and sent into port to be adjudicated by a Judge of a Vice-Admiralty Court, appears such a violation of the laws of Nature and Nations; such a deviation from the professed policy and interest of the British government; so opposed to the conduct of other British naval Commanders; and so contrary to every principle of good faith and amity; that we must consider it as an act of wanton piracy on the part of Capt. Pellet; and think The President of the United States , would fain acquit in the view of God, and the world, in directing Capt. Truxton to capture the Cleopatra , and brig her and her piratical Captain into port; to detain him until such time as an explanation between the Governments of the two nations could take place; and prevent his exciting the enmity of the people of the United States against a government and nation with whom they wish to live on terms of amity and friendship. We have no doubt the Juno will be liberated, at Halifax , unless very satisfactory reasons can be given for her condemnation. It is a cruel sentence on Governments and Magistrates which supposes them necessarily flagitious, or deems the infusion of authority a poison to all the bland materials of the human heart.—We cannot but have the hope, that the people of Great-Britain will express by some strong measure their detestation of Pellet's conduct. Whatever may be the notions of this buccaneer of the laws of morality, good faith and honor, we trust the British government will not consent to sacrifice them to a momentary gain; nor to practice on Pellet's maxim, that might is right . In the contest which now agitates Europe, the United States have kept pure, unspotted hands; and have relied on their integrity and uprightness to shield them from insult and injury.—They will rely on them. They are certain that the great laws of nations must, in time, check if it does not guide the belligerent powers; and that every government must submit to their sway.
The pretence for detaining the Juno is said to be, that she was employed in conveying the produce of a Spanish colony to the Mother Country; being bound to Malaga , and having Spanish sugars on board. It is said Pellet informed the supercargo that had she been bound to Leghorn , which we learn, was the ulterior object of the voyage, she would not have been detained.
The President of the United States has arrived at Quincy from the seat of government.
Of all men, those are worst who rank as impartial or go between ; who approve of Mr. Adams, and do not think ill of Mr. Jefferson.—Who are advocates of what they call impartiality ; and the disciples of candour : Who applaud both sides for some conduct; and condemn both sides for other conduct: Who think black , though it is jacobinical , not so very black ; and white , though it is federal , not so very white : Who think Fries was indeed a vile rebel; but that it was a just display of mercy to save him—that his motives might be right though his actions were wrong. &c. &c. Such men may never be severely censured by any side; but they will not be trusted by either side: As the Poet says:
"Give me th' avow'd, th' erect, th' manly foe, Bold I can meet—perhaps may turn his blow; But of all plagues, good Heav'n! thy wrath can Save, save, save me from the candid Friend."

The Connecticut left 20 men.
The trial of the Peggy , a French schr. with her cargo, which was taken by the United States ship Trumbull , and sent into this port in May last, came on before a special District Court at this place, where the was, by the decree of said court, determined not to be a lawful prize, and ordered to be returned to the claimant. Monsieur Joseph Buillon; the captors appealed from said decree to the circuit court to be held at Hartford on the 19th of September next. The vessel and cargo is now in possession of
the Marshall of this district, who is ordered to hold the same in his custody until the 15th day of July next—at which time if the claimant procures bonds, said vessel and cargo is to be delivered up to the claimant.

Letters were received in town this day by the Eastern Mail , from Liverpool , via Portsmouth (N. H.) of date May 13 . They contain nothing of a political nature but relate principally to Commercial concerns.—The Portsmouth paper which came to hand this day makes no mention of the arrival.

"I embrace the opportunity of the Florida, to drop you a few lines; and begin with the pleasing intelligence of the arrival of the frigate Philadelphia, Capt. Decatur, and the Petapico sloop, with a brig with stores. From your report, we expected to see in the Philadelphia, a fine ship of war; and our expectations have been realized. Her commander is much respected here, as are all our commanders and officers. On the 21st we had the pleasure of receiving the Commodore, accompanied with the Adams; and, on the 23d they failed on a cruise. The former recaptured a schooner, called the Betsey, with Dry Goods, Wines, &c. from Philadelphia. The Connecticut has taken two privateers and one recapture. The Adams has also made some prizes, but it would be tedious to particularize; however, you may rest assured they are as vigilant as ever. This week we have already received three prizes."
Extract of a letter from Troy (N. Y.) dated June 25.
"A great scarcity of Grain is experienced in the northern counties of this state and in many parts of Vermont. In some places this necessary article cannot be purchased at any price—Those who have it to spare, receive any price almost they choose to ask—And we are credibly informed, that Wheat has even been sold in the northern part of Vermont at the enormous price of Three Dollars, and corn at One Dollar and Fifty Cents, per bushel. Quantities of Grain especially Rye and Corn, are daily transported from this village and its neighbourhood, into the country, some of it to the distance of more than 100 miles."
"The scarcity may, in a great measure, be attributed to the vast quantities of Grain brought to market the last season; which are laid to have exceeded that of any former year. It is computed, that the article of Wheat alone, brought to this market during the autumn and winter, amounted to about two hundred thousand bushels."
The Editor of "the Constitutional Telegraph," a vehicle of rancorous abuse and Jacobinism, published at Boston; in the course of his envious railing against the homage paid to General Hamilton, in his late tour to the southward, observes that "high-blooded federal Tories" were of the party. If wit, according to Locke's definition, be composed of incongruous ingredients, this
is the wisest part, in which v... flowed into the p... of a demon.
The aforesaid Editor in his late address to the citizens of the United States respecting the election of President, with great modesty observes that General Hamilton was not thought fit, but that the true democratic Packer, is Cato, the co-editor of Jeffersonian. All this is very natural. This latter Packer is vain enough to aspire to the Presidency, and the French party are mad enough to advise him. He is truly a most virtuous patriot, and pays to be in power, from pure love of his country— and of himself.

Tribute to Genius, to the Scholar, the Soldier, and the Statesman.
The following interesting article is copied from the Eastern papers. To the uniform and energetic, to the advocate for some politics; and to the admirer of mental brilliancy, it affords the most sincere and lively pleasure to perceive in the Eastern states such eager marks of attention, shown by characters of the first distinction and worth to the accomplished HAMILTON.
BOSTON, June 21.
Tribute of Respect and Gratitude.
ON Thursday a number of the citizens of this town, to testify their high respect for the pre-eminent services, talents and patriotism of Major General Hamilton, invited him to a public dinner at Concert Hall. Amongst the guests were, his Excellency the Governor, the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the Hon. Chief Justice Dana, Judge Lowell, the Honorable Messrs. Cabot and Ames, the District Attorney, several Members of Congress, of the Council, Senate and House of Representatives of this Commonwealth; and of the Reverend Clergy.
The company was the most respectable ever assembled in this town, on a similar occasion. That venerable soldier and patriot, General Lincoln presided, and the Hon. Messrs. Higginson, Jackson and Russell, acted as Vice-Presidents. The tables were loaded with every dainty the season affords, and every luxury which could be procured; and at no public feast ever prevailed greater harmony, good humor and public spirit. Every man appeared to be enlivened with the opportunity which was afforded him of rewarding, by attention, a man who has been so distinguished in war and in peace;—who has been so useful to his country as a statesman;—so honorable to it as a financier;—and should distantly overtake him, yet be so necessary to it as a soldier. Remembering that he was the favorite of Washington, and recommended by him as the second in command, who could restrain their demonstrations of respect? To a mind like Hamilton's superior to the baubles of public honors the heartfelt gratitude of his fellow citizens expressed on this occasion, must have been the most grateful incentive.
The following toasts shewed the feelings which were excited:
1. The memory of that man, upon whose merit the penegyriick of genius is cold, and concerning whose character, truth wears the appearance of fiction—our best and late President.
2. The President of the United States.
3. The people of the United States—May their wisdom prove as superior to the arts, as their valor is to the arms of their enemies.
4. Our country—May its destinies be more happy than they are anticipated by the fears of its friends, or the hopes of its enemies.
5. John Jay,
6. Public credit—May the services of its friends never be forgotten, and may the obloquy bestowed upon them, endear them to all honest men.
7. Oliver Wolcott.
8. The academic and literary institutions of our country—May the light of rational science never be deflected from the ignis fatuus of modern philosophy.
9. Just rewards to patriots—to the factious condign punishment.
10. The late Governor Sumner—May all public functionaries leave as rich a legacy to their fellow-citizens, in the example of their prudence, wisdom and virtue.
11. Let the negotiation with France terminate as it will, may she discontinue those marks of friendship and partiality by which she has distinguished us.
12. The lately disbanded army of the United States—May we respect them for the services they would have performed, had our infidious friends preferred a bayonet instead of an olive branch.
13. The American Navy—May it increase with the insolence of our enemies, until it shall acquire strength to take vengeance upon them.
14. All old, honest and tried patriots, whether in or out of office.
15. May American Jacobinism be transported to France, that Buonaparte may perform his funeral honors, and give it eternal repose in the same cemetery with its parent.
16. The merchants of the United States—long credit, short voyages—good flocks—great profits and a hearty perseverance in federalism.
The mechanic interests; prompt pay; constant employ; clear estates; domestic pleasures, and a zealous support of the government which protects them.
After the Governor had retired.]—His Excellency Governor Strong—Pure, wise, prudent and patriotic—may he receive, as justly as he merits, the confidence of his fellow-citizens.
When general Hamilton had retired.]—Major-general Hamilton; So long as our Constitution shall last, or public credit be supported, may we respect the supporter of one, and the founder of the other.
VOLUNTEERS.
By Gen. Hamilton.—The town of Boston; may it continue to be the Head-quarters of good principles.
The next generation.—May they inherit the liberty of their fathers, and the spirit and principles of our fathers.
The Navy—May the heart of American patriotism, be always as warm as a sailor's.
The merchants of the United States.—May they never act, as the Journeymen of Jacobinism; nor as the Masterworkmen in the Mazzan Babel.
To Americans wisdom to discern the crisis.—Courage to meet it.
The Atlantic ocean.—What nature has put asunder, let no man attempt to join.
On Wednesday General Hamilton visited Fort Independence on Castle Island, and yesterday sat out for Portland on the inspection service. The General was escorted to Lynn, by a cavalcade of citizens.

Extract of a letter from New York, of yesterday's date, to a gentleman in this city.
"Since writing you yesterday, we have been fortunate in seeing Captain Farmer of the Mairmaid.—He informs us that he sailed from the Pilot ground on the 27th of June, that he left the India at Laguira, to sail with three British Indianmen on the 30th since which he heard nothing of them—He had letters from Captain Ahmed, (and all the American ships,) which he threw overboard. The ship Atlantic was at Calcutta, and had proceeded in loading so far as to have her lugger on board. The Mount Vernon and Perseverance had only arrived at Calcutta about 20th January. The Delaware was not there. The Samson, and Northern Liberties, would sail soon after the India. (say about the 20th February.) Captain F. does not recollect any other vessels under American colours, either at Calcutta or Madras."
