MASSACRE AT ST. DOMINGO.
The intelligence of the indiscriminate massacre of the white French inhabitants at St. Domingo is confirmed by the arrival at this port of the schooner Greyhound from Cape-Francois. Letters and verbal accounts of the passengers who escaped, agree in representing it as one of the most horrid which has occurred in modern times. It began on the 19th April, and continued without intermission until the 14th of May following. On the 28th of April General DESSALINES issued a proclamation, explanatory of his motives and of his future conduct, of which the following is a copy:—
LIBERTY OR DEATH.
PROCLAMATION.
JEAN JACQUES DESSALINES Governor General to the inhabitants of Hayti.
Crimes, the most atrocious, such as were until now unheard of, and would cause nature to shudder, have been perpetuated. The measure is over-heaped. At length the hour of vengeance has arrived, and the implacable enemies of the rights of man have suffered the punishment due to their crimes.
My arm, raised over their heads, has too long delayed to strike. At that signal, which the justice of God has urged, your hands righteously armed, have brought the axe upon the ancient tree of slavery and prejudices. In vain had time, and more especially the infernal politics of Europeans, surrounded it with triple brass; you have stripped it of its armour; you have placed it upon your heart, that you may become (like your natural enemies) cruel and merciless. Like an overflowing mighty torrent that tears down all opposition, your vengeful fury has carried away every thing in its impetuous course. Thus perish all tyrants over innocence, all oppressors of mankind.
What then? bent for many ages under an iron yoke: the sport of the passions of men, or their injustice, and of the caprices of fortune; mutilated victims of the cupidity of white Frenchmen; after having fattened with our toils these insatiate blood suckers, with a patience and resignation unexampled, we should again have seen that sacrilegious horde make an attempt upon our destruction, without any distinction of sex or age; and we, men without energy, of no virtue, of no delicate sensibility, should not we have plunged in their breast the dagger of desperation? Where is that vile Haytian, so unworthy of his regeneration, who thinks he has not accomplished the decrees of the Eternal, by exterminating these blood-thirsty tygers? If there is one, let him fly; indignant nature discards him from our bosom; let him hide his shame far from hence: the air we breathe is not suited to his gross organs; it is the pure air of Liberty, august and triumphant.
Yes, we have rendered to these true cannibals war for war, crime for crime, outrage for outrage; yes, I have saved my country, I have avenged America. The avowal I make of it in the face of earth and heaven, constitutes my pride and glory. Of what consequence to me is the opinion which contemporary and future generations will pronounce upon my conduct. I have performed my duty; I enjoy my own approbation; for me that is sufficient. But what do I say? The preservation of my unfortunate brothers, the testimony of my own conscience, are not my only recompence; I have seen two classes of men, born to cherish, assist and conquer one another—mixed, in a word, and blended together;
crying for vengeance, and disputing the honour of the first blow.
Blacks and Yellows, whom the refined duplicity of Europeans has for a long time endeavoured to divide; you, who are now consolidated, and make but one family; without doubt it was necessary that our perfect reconciliation should be sealed with the blood of your butchers. Similar calamities have hung over your proscribed heads: a similar ardour to strike your enemies has signalized you: the like fate is reserved for you; and the like interests must therefore render you for ever one, indivisible, and inseparable. Maintain that precious concord, that happy harmony amongst yourselves: it is the pledge of your happiness, your salvation, and your success: it is the secret of being invincible.
It is necessary, in order to strengthen these ties, to recall to your remembrance the catalogue of atrocities committed against our species: the massacre of the entire population of this Island, meditated in the silence and sangfroid of the Cabinet: the execution of that abominable project, to me unblushingly proposed and already begun by the French with the calmness and serenity of a countenance accustomed to similar crimes.—Guadaloupe, pillaged and destroyed: its ruins still reeking with the blood of the children, women and old men put to the sword: PELAGE (himself the victim of their craftiness) after having basely betrayed his countrymen and his brothers: The brave and immortal DELGRESSE, blown into the air with the fort which he defended, rather than accept their offered chains. Magnanimous warrior! that noble death, far from enfeebling our courage, serves only to rouse within us a determination of avenging or of following thee. Shall I again recall to your memory the plots lately framed at Jeremie? the terrible explosion which was to be the result, notwithstanding the generous pardon granted to these incorrigible beings at the expulsion of the French army? The deplorable fate of our departed brothers in Europe! and (dread harbinger of death) the frightful despotism exercised at Martinique!—Unfortunate people of Martinique, could I but fly to your assistance, and break your fetters! Alas! an insurmountable barrier separates us. Perhaps a spark from the same fire which enflames us, will alight into your bosoms: perhaps at the sound of this commotion, suddenly awakened from your lethargy, with arms in your hands, you will reclaim your sacred imprescriptable rights.
After the terrible example which I have just given, that sooner or later Divine Justice will unchain on earth some mighty minds, above the weakness of the vulgar, for the destruction and terror, of the wicked; tremble, tyrants, usurpers, scourges of the new world! our daggers are sharpened; your punishment is ready! sixty thousand men, equipped, inured to war, obedient to my orders, burn to offer a new sacrifice to the manes of their assassinated brothers. Let that nation come who may be mad and daring enough to attack me. Already at its approach, the irritated genius of Hayti, rising out of the bosom of the ocean appears; his menacing aspect throws the waves into commotion, excites tempests, and with his mighty hand disperses ships, or dashes them in pieces; to his formidable voice the laws of nature pay obedience; diseases, plague, famine, conflagration, poison, are his constant attendants. But why calculate on the assistance of the climate and of the elements? Have I forgot that I command a people of no common cast, brought up in adversity, whose audacious daring frowns at obstacles and increases by dangers? Let them come, then, these homicidal Cohort! I wait for them with firmness and with a steady eye. I abandon to them freely the sea-shore, and the places, where cities have existed; but woe to those who may approach too near the mountains! It were better for them that the sea received them into its profound abyss, than to be devoured by the anger of the children of Hayti.
"War to Death to Tyrants!" this is my motto; "Liberty! Independence!" this is our rallying cry.
Generals, officers, soldiers, a little unlike him who has preceded me, the ex-general Toussaint Louverture, I have

been faithful to the promise which I made to you when I took up arms against tyranny, and whilst the last spark of life remains in me I shall keep my oath. Never again shall a colonist or an European set his foot upon this territory with the title of master or proprietor. This resolution shall henceforward form the fundamental basis of our constitution.
Should other chiefs, after me, by pursuing a conduct diametrically opposite to mine, dig their own graves and those of their species, you will have to accuse only the law of destiny which shall have taken me away from the happiness and welfare of my fellow-citizens. May my successors follow the path I shall have traced out for them! It is the system best adapted for consolidating their power; it is the highest homage they can render to my memory.
As it is derogatory to my character and my dignity to punish the innocent for the crimes of the guilty, a handful of whites, commendable by the religion they have always professed, and who have besides taken the oath to live with us in the woods, have experienced my clemency, I order that the sword respect them, and that they be unmolested.
I recommend anew and order to all the generals of department, &c. to grant succours, encouragement, and protection, to all neutral and friendly nations who may wish to establish commercial relations in this island.
Head-Quarters at the Cape, 28th April, 1804, first year of Independence. (Signed) DESSALINES. A true Copy. The Secretary General, JUSTE CHANLATTE.
This proclamation had the effect which was intended; it nerved the arm of the already too ensanguined negro, and extinguished in his bosom the last spark of humanity. The work of death was accelerated; and on the 14th of May, when the Greyhound left the Cape, the infuriated soldiery had sacrificed to their unrelenting policy not less than 2500 human beings. The work of destruction then ceased from necessity, for no more victims remained to be assassinated.
The details we have received of these transactions are shocking to the ear. Indeed, no language of which we are capable, can describe with accuracy the horrors of the carnage, which had no respect to the infirmity of age or the innocence of childhood; but involved in one common ruin, and frequently with the same sword, the infant sucking at the breast and the unoffending mother from whom it derived its nourishment.
On the 14th of May DESSALINES left the Cape by the way of Port-de-Paix and Gonaives, for the purpose of enforcing the terms of the following Proclamation, which he had caused to be issued in that part of the island of St. Domingo inhabited by the Spaniards. He also ordered that the occupiers of houses should remove with all possible speed to a ditch at the side of the mountain, the dead bodies of the murdered which remained in the streets, that they might not be either devoured by the dogs or be suffered to produce a pestilence.
LIBERTY OR DEATH. PROCLAMATION. JEAN JACQUES DESSALINES, Governor General to the inhabitants of the Spanish Part.
Scarce had the French army been expelled, when you hastened to acknowledge my authority; by a free and spontaneous movement of your heart, you ranged yourselves under my subjection. More careful of the prosperity than the ruin of that part which you inhabit, I gave to this homage a favourable reception. From that moment I have considered you as my children, and my fidelity to you remains undiminished. As a proof of my paternal solicitude, within the places which have submitted to my power I have proposed for chiefs none but men chosen from amongst yourselves. Jealous of counting you in the rank of my friends, that I might give you all the time necessary for recollection, and that I might assure myself of your fidelity, I have hitherto restrained the burning ardour of my soldiers. Already I congratulated myself on the success of my solicitude, which had for its object to prevent the effusion of blood; but at this time a fanatic priest had not kindled in your breasts the rage which predominates therein; the incensed Ferrand had not yet instilled into you the poison of falsehood and calumny. Writings, originating in despair and weakness have been circulated; and immediately some amongst you, seduced by perfidious insinuations, solicited the friendship and protection of the French; they dared to outrage my kindness, by coalescing with my cruel enemies. Spaniards, reflect!
On the brink of the precipice which is dug under your feet, will that diabolical minister save you, when with fire and sword I shall have pursued you to your last entrenchments?
Ah! without doubt, his prayers, his grimaces, his relics, would be no impediment to my career. Vain as powerless, can he preserve you from my just anger after I shall have buried him and the collection of brigands he commands under the ruin of your capital! Let them both recollect that it is before my intrepid phalanxes that all the resources and the skill of Europeans have proved ineffectual; and that into my victorious hands the destiny of the captain-general Rochambeau has been surrendered. To lure the Spaniards to their party, they propagate the report that vessels laden with troops have arrived at Santo Domingo. Why is it not the truth? They little imagine that in delaying to attack them until this time my principal object has been to suffer them to increase the mass of our resources and the number of our victims. To spread distrust and terror, they incessantly dwell upon the fate which the French have just experienced; but have I had reason to treat them so? The wrongs of the French do they appertain to the Spaniards? and must I visit on the latter the crimes which the former have conceived, ordered, and executed upon our species? They have the effrontery to say, that, reduced to seek safety in flight, I am gone to conceal my defeat in the southern part of the island. Well then! Let them learn that I am ready; that the thunder bolt is going to fall upon their heads. Let them know that my soldiers are impatiently waiting for the signal to go and reconquer the boundaries which nature and the elements have assigned to us. A few moments more, and I shall crush the remnant of the French under the weight of mighty power.
Spaniards! you to whom I address myself, solely because I wish to save you; you who, for having been guilty of evasion, shall speedily preserve your existence only so far as my clemency may deign to spare you; it is yet time; adjure an error which may be fatal to you; and break off all connections with my enemy if you wish your blood may not be confounded with his. Name to me without delay that part of your territory on which my first blow is to be struck, or inform me whether I must strike on all parts without discrimination. I give you fifteen days from the date of this notification to forward your last intentions, and to rally under my banners. You are not ignorant that all the roads of St. Domingo in every direction are familiar to us; that more than once we have seen your dispersed bands fly before us. In a word, you know what I can do, and what I dare; think of your preservation.
Receive here the sacred promise which I make, not to do any thing against your personal safety or your interest, if you seize upon this occasion to shew yourselves worthy of being admitted amongst the children of Hayti.
Head-Quarters, at the Cape, May 8th, 1804, first year of Independence. The Governor, General, (Signed) DESSALINES. A true Copy. The Secretary General, JUSTE CHANLATTE.
The quantity of silver plate, jewelry, gold articles, &c. plundered from the dead and brought in by the negroes, was immense, and frequently offered for sale at half its value.
On the 22d April Port-Dauphin was pillaged, a part of the town destroyed, and the whites massacred to the number of from 85 to 90.
A few days afterwards the French inhabitants of St. Jago, and other parts of the interior, were escorted to the Cape under a strong guard, and there butchered.
A Danish schooner, lying at the Cape, with passengers from St. Thomas, was seized and every sailor and passenger on board massacred.
Of the white persons who escaped from the island almost by miracle, several have arrived at this port in the Greyhound; 9 in the Almy which sailed for New-York 6 days before the Greyhound, viz. Carne and daughter, Helin, Wife and Son, d'Albre, Astaiz, Gabareau and wife; and in the Nancy, for Charleston, Messrs. Oliver and Groshon.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
PETERSBURG, March 10.
ALEXANDER gloriously follows the steps of his grandsire. This prince is not yet 28 years of age, born in 1777,
and already his place is ranked in that circle of sovereigns, who, with the illustrious pupil of Fenelon, believe they are born only for the happiness of their subjects. In tracing what he has done during the last six months, we find that he has introduced great reforms in the colleges of medicine, of pharmacy and of finance; that he had founded and organized the university of Wilns; that he had collected around him the most distinguished men of Europe; that he had punished with as much severity as justice the unfaithful agents of his power; that he had recompensed with as much graciousness as magnificence, the princes, senators and counsellors, who, by their zeal, their knowledge and their probity, have justified his choice, and merited his confidence.
It is difficult to conceive how, in an age of dissipation, and often of frivolity, it is possible for a person to divide his time between his duties and his pleasures, but what is conceived most difficult is, that in the height of power, a prince can voluntarily renounce all the pleasures of his age, to devote himself to the duties of the state; but what we cannot easily conceive is, that he seems to have placed his happiness in glory, and all his glory in the happiness of his subjects.
This phenomenon, however, explains itself when we reflect that of all enjoyments perhaps the most intoxicating is that of glory, that he who for this could renounce all others, and could say, at the age of Alexander, "I fill the universe with my name; an immense people shall enjoy the fruits of my labour; all mankind are my brethren, and disengaged from the ties of all personal affection, it is for the benefit of the human race that I consecrate my life; it is according to the extent of benefit that I measure my happiness. But one thing I demand as the reward of this devotion, it is that it may be duly appreciated; it is that the glory of my name should be proportioned to the merit of my actions."
And from this it may be concluded that a like object can transport youth with hope, and enflame them with emulation, and that it may be supposed that the paths which lead to so great an end are filled with charms and the exertions necessary to obtain them are themselves an inestimable enjoyment, and can exclusively occupy a soul as noble and as generous as that of Alexander.
DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
ALEXANDRIA, June 13.
By the last accounts from St. Domingo we learn that previous to the general assassination of the French white inhabitants of the Cape, every dog they could find in the streets was killed; gangs of negroes appearing to have been appointed for this purpose, were seen hunting them into their master's houses, and the general opinion seemed to be, to provoke resistance, for a pretext for the meditated massacre.
The accounts already noticed are confirmed by this report, and all the horrors of indiscriminate butchery of women and children. Landing one morning, this informant adds, he saw lying on the beach the corpse of a beautiful young woman, her arms tied behind her, and a large wound through each breast, and three of the same sex lying by her, with the same marks of the infernal barbarity of these murderers.
Their marked hatred to the whites is daily evidenced. An American captain walking the streets, was accosted by a negro drummer, in the following insolent manner: 'You d—d white rascal stand out of the way.'
An English Lieutenant of a Frigate off the Town, receiving the same treatment, had a difficult escape to his ship, the commander of which, upon hearing his complaint, required the Americans to hawl out of the way, that he might lay his ship to batter the town. The satisfaction he required, at first denied, was now acceded to.
The extensive influence of this revolution cannot be calculated, but it begins to be estimated as portentous to the other islands.
The English must subjugate St. Domingo (of which it is thought they have some design) or probably experience the same fate; and we learn that serious alarms pervade the inhabitants and owners, and government has been induced to strengthen the garrisons.
But let us look at home—and if a thought can be spared from our immediate concerns, for the consideration of so important and ominous prospects, nay already at our doors. Let us remember the meditated massacre at Richmond, and be watchful.
JUDGE BOWEN. GEORGIA.
By his Excellency John Milledge, Governor and commander in chief of the army and navy of this state and of the militia thereof.
To all to whom these presents shall come, or be made known—GREETING:
WHEREAS by the first section of the third article of the constitution of this state, it is, among other things, declared, that "the Judges of the Superior Court shall be elected for the term of three years, removable by the governor, on the address of two thirds, of both Houses for that purpose, or by impeachment and conviction thereon."
And whereas both houses of the legislature, that is to say, the house of representatives on the seventeenth day of May inst. and the senate of this day, did cause to be presented to me an address, in the words following, to wit.
In the House of Representatives, May 14th, 1804.
"To his Excellency John Milledge, Governor and commander in Chief, in and over the state of Georgia.
The address of the House of Representatives of the state aforesaid, respectfully sheweth, That several charges of a highly criminal nature a copy whereof is hereto annexed, having been exhibited against Jabez Bowen, Judge of the Superior courts of the Eastern district, supported by such testimony as fully satisfies the House, and leaves no doubt of the guilt and criminality of the said Jabez Bowen.
"We therefore, Representatives aforesaid, considering the said Jabez Bowen wholly unworthy the dignified station he at present occupies, do unanimously request your Excellency to exercise the authority vested in you by the constitution, and remove him the said Jabez Bowen, immediately from his office of Judge of the said district."
ABRAHAM JACKSON, speaker.
Attest,
HINES HOLT, Clerk.
CHARGES
EXHIBITED AGAINST JUDGE BOWEN
First —That the said Jabez Bowen, actuated by motives unworthy of and highly criminal in a Judge did in or about the month of January last past, burn or destroy a certain Record of the Superior Court of the county of Chatham, that is to say a certain plea or answer of Thomas Gibbons, to an action instituted against him, in the said court, by Oliver Bowen deceased.
Second —That the said Jabez Bowen, regardless of the sacred duties of his office, the laws of the land, peace and safety of the inhabitants thereof; did on the 23d of April last past, in the superior court of the county of Chatham, while presiding as judge, utter, and deliver, under the title or colour of a charge, to the grand jury, an extra judicial speech or address, containing principles in the highest degree dangerous to the lives and properties of the good people of the state, tending to excite insurrection, and to involve the country, in all the horrors of domestic warfare.
Third —That the said Jabez Bowen, did at divers times and places, endeavour to promote and incite insurrection, by holding converse with slaves tending to inflame their minds and otherwise, and threatening to raise and head such insurrection himself, and destroy all the white people in the country.
Fourth —That the said Jabez Bowen, did on the 24th day of April, illegally commit the grand jury of the county of Chatham, to the common jail of the said county, for barely executing their constitutional right and duty, presenting persons and crimes, and daring to disapprove and censure the said violent and inflammatory charge or address, delivered to them, by him the said Jabez Bowen as aforesaid.
Fifth —That the said Jabez Bowen, forgetful of the dignity of his office, and in derogation of the same, did go to the court-house of the county of Chatham armed, and did there, while on the bench, and during the sitting of the court, draw fort and present a pistol at and against a multitude of citizens there assembled, using at the same time the most violent and indecent language.
Lastly —That the said Jabez Bowen, in violation of his duty, and of the respect and obedience due to the state, the legislature, and the laws hath insulted the dignity of the state and endeavoured to bring its legislature and laws into contempt. By which said several crimes and misdemeanors, the said Jabez Bowen hath rendered himself unworthy the high

& dignified office of Judge of this State."
"In Senate, 17th May, 1804."
"The special committee to whom was referred the papers and documents relative to the conduct of Judge Bowen, report and commend the following address:"
"To his Excellency John Milledge, Governor and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of this State, and of the Militia thereof—"
"The Senate of the state of Georgia, having taken into consideration the charges which are brought against Jabez Bowen, jun. Judge of the Eastern District, and the evidence which support them, do resolve, that the said Jabez Bowen, jun. is unqualified for the appointment which he holds in the judicial department of this state; that it will be derogatory to the dignity of this state, that he should continue any longer therein—and that his continuance in office will endanger the peace and harmony of this people."
"The senate therefore beg leave to address his Excellency, and request that he will dismiss the said Jabez Bowen, jun. from his appointment of Judge of the Eastern District of the State of Georgia, as by the first section of the third article of the constitution is provided."
"The senate took up the report, and the same being read, was unanimously agreed to."
DAVID EMANUEL,
President of the Senate.
Test, WM. ROBERTSON, Sec'y."
Now know ye, that having taken the foregoing address of the house of representatives, as well as that of the senate, together with the charges exhibited against the said Jabez Bowen, jun. and the evidence in support of them, into consideration, I do by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by the constitution aforesaid, remove the said Jabez Bowen, jun. from his office of Judge of the Superior Court for the eastern district of this state; and do, by these presents, declare his appointment of Judge as aforesaid to all intents and purposes, from this time, as void as though he had never been appointed and commissioned as such.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand, and cause the Great Seal of this state to be affixed—Done at the State house in Louisville this eighteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the twenty eighth.
JOHN MILLEDGE,
By the Governor,
HON. MARBURY, Sec'y of the State.
MARTINSBURG, June 22.
On Monday last, the severest hail-storm, perhaps ever witnessed in this County, passed along Mill Creek, which in its course spread general devastation and occasioned very severe damages, leaving grain-fields, gardens, &c. desolate and waste—The grain, on Plantations that were likely to produce from 600 to 2,000 bushels, was entirely cut down, so that scarcely a straw was left standing after it had spent its devastating fury.—We have not learnt its particular extent, but where its greatest violence was felt, was about one mile in width, and four or five in length—The hail-stones were large, and it is said, that in lanes where it had drifted, it measured, the next day, from six inches to two feet four inches.
We are very sorry to add, that from the long continued rains, the waters of Opequon, have been raised so high as to overflow all its marginal bottoms, in consequence of which, every thing that came within its reach, has been swept away or destroyed, from its source to its confluence with the river Potomak, on which river, considerable damage has also been done.
The following remarks on the harvesting of Wheat, (copied from the Domestic Encyclopedia) may perhaps be serviceable to our farmers, at a time like this, when it is more than probable, that a considerable quantity of Wheat will be affected by rust or mildew.
The proper period for reaping wheat, is by no means ascertained; some farmers asserting that it is most advantageous to cut the grain before it is perfectly ripe, while others are of opinion, that it ought to stand till nearly ready to be reaped and housed. The anonymous author of the "Farmers Calendar," observes, that the safest way is that of adopt-
ing the middle course, with a particular regard to a fair time. If, however, there be any appearance of blight, Mr. A. Young thinks, that farmers cannot cut their wheat too early. He remarks, that the green state of the straw is no indication that the grain is immature; because the straw of blighted corn never acquires a bright yellow colour; but remains green till it becomes black. When the stalk is in this condition, the circulation of the sap ceases; and the grain daily decreases in size. He therefore advises the wheat to be cut; laid down in the stubble; exposed to the dew; frequently turned; and, when perfectly dry, the grain may be tied up in sheaves, and carried to the barn. Thus, thousands of bushels may be annually saved, that might afford good marketable grain; part of which would otherwise never be thrashed out of the ears, while the remainder would be so light and brittle, as to be dispersed in winnowing.
The following observations upon harvesting wheat, and on the mildew deserve attention.
"What stage of ripeness is the best for cutting wheat, is not ascertained in America; but I have seen enough of cutting early to be convinced that it commonly is suffered to stand too long."
"At the time of reaping, we generally have a clear sky and a peculiar drying air, which in some harvests ripen wheat very suddenly, so that the plants from an apparent state of vigour, are killed in a day or two, and receive no further nourishment from the root or blade; and even the stems become exhausted of the nourishment which they had imbibed, so that it could not reach the ear or grain. If with this sudden heat and drying state of the air, the plants be struck with rust, and are still suffered to stand longer, the grain, receiving no more nourishment, can never fill; but by cutting it instantly, and setting it sheltered to cure gradually, the best chance is had for obtaining marketable good wheat."
"The reaping corn 10 or 14 days earlier than my neighbours (says Mr. PARKINSON) is an advantage I have attended to. As corn begins to decay first at the root, all the nourishment it can receive, while standing uncut, after the decay of the root, must be derived from the straw. The dews may feed the grain at one time; but when nearly ripe and the root decayed, the sun and wind have so much power as to ripen it too quickly, or scorch or dry it before its natural period of maturity."
"Riding on the road about harvest time, he observed a field of wheat that had taken the mildew. The straw was of a remarkably deep green, and instead of being dead, appeared to have a greater verdure; though after such appearance comes on, it never receives any nourishment or grows larger. Instead whereof the straw becomes distempered, spotted and discoloured. The sooner it is then cut the better. He took 12 ears of wheat, which, as well as the straw, were green as grass, and at the same time mildewed. A great deal of rain had fallen the forepart of the day; but the ears of wheat were pretty dry. He tied them in a bunch, intending to hang them up in his house to dry and ripen.—Several weeks afterwards, having been forgot, he took them out of his great coat pocket; when the straw was found to be still green. The grain was then rubbed out, and to his astonishment he never saw better. It was fine in colour and well filled; but what remained in the field, from which he took these ears, was very small and of little value. This is a strong case, which ought to make an impression on the minds of our farmers.—He adds—From hence it would seem, that if the farmers would cut their wheat when it is struck with mildew, and set it up in the field in small stacks of about a cart load each, so as neither to heat nor mold, it would be better than to let it stand, as is the practice, uncut."
"He had at the same time, taken 12 ears from an adjoining riper field, which were likewise found in the other pocket of the great coat. Though these, when gathered, appeared so much superior to what had taken the mildew, they did not turn out near so good as the others.—From the above circumstances, Mr. PARKINSON was ever after partial to cutting wheat when the straw appeared of a reddish cast, or some of it green with the joints full of sap; and it fulfilled his expectations. The straw, he adds, is better for chaff; the flour much fairer and heavier; and for fine flour it will grind into broad bran. But he does not think that if the wheat escapes the mildew, it ought to be cut so green."
"The farmer may take into consideration at what time it will be best to cut down his wheat; for a slight degree of
rust it need not be hurried; but when greatly rusted in its advanced state of ripening, and when considerably scabbed (which never happens but in the moment before it ripens) immediately cut down, and guard it against sun and wind, slightly, lest by securing it too close, it heat and be entirely spoiled. What in wheat is by some called scab, by others is called empty ears."
As we are coming to the season for hot weather, in which nature calls for drink, and there has been a difficulty to keep small beer from souring in hot weather in 2 or 3 days, by which, necessity obliges to make more use of spirituous liquors than persons would otherwise choose, it may be useful to communicate to the public a method of brewing good wholesome small beer, that will not sour, namely;
Take 2 ounces of hops, and boil them 3 or 4 hours in 3 or 4 pails full of water; then scald 2 quarts of molasses in a pot, and turn it up into a clean half barrel, boiling hot; then fill it up with cold water; before it is quite full, put in your emptyings to work it, (the emptyings it will produce will work beer from time to time) the next day you will have agreeable wholesome small beer, that will not fill with wind as that which is brewed from malt and bran: and it will keep good till it is all drank out. I have practised this method for about a year in my own family, and find it very useful. [Centinel.]
We learn that the request of Mr. Livingston our ambassador at Paris, to be recalled, has been accepted by the president; and that Gen. Armstrong, of N. York, now a Senator of the U. S. will be appointed to succeed him.

Surrender of Surinam.
By the schooner Jane, Capt. Meagher, arrived at Boston in 23 days from Surinam, a Dutch paper was received, which contains the articles on which that place was surrendered to the British on the 14th ult. It is signed by Gen. Green and Com. Hood, on the part of the English, and Col. Battenburg, on the part of the Dutch. The Dutch garrisons were permitted to march from the forts with the honours of war; the officers to retain their arms, the soldiers to ground their's, and to be sent to Europe as soon as good vessels can be procured, but not to carry arms against his Britannic Majesty. Article 5, proposed that no Dutch soldier should be employed in the British service—the answer was, that no Dutch soldier should be enlisted unless he was willing. The inhabitants were to be protected in their lives and property.
Massachusetts Legislature.
Senate, June 3.
The report of the committee on the subject of electors, was taken up: It recommends, that the whole number of electors, on the part of this Commonwealth, be chosen by the people thereof, at large in a general ticket, and that one at least of said Electors be an inhabitant of each district of the Commonwealth, established for the purpose of choosing Representatives in Congress.
This report occasioned a long debate in the course of which several alterations were moved, but the main question, to accept the report, was carried in the affirmative.

Extract of a letter from New-York, dated June 14.
"The British vessels of war, the Leander of fifty guns, and Boston frigate are off this harbour. They come every night within the Hook, and stand out in the morning early. Supposed to be in close watch for the French Frigates Cybele and Didon, which have been expected to depart for several days."
In one of our last Charleston newspapers, we observe 367 Congo, 357 Angola, and 149 Windward Coast negroes, lately arrived there, advertised for sale. The inhuman and destructive policy, which could legalize such importations, must undoubtedly be condemned by every man who has the good of his country at heart, unswayed by the sordid love of gain.
The following Frenchified advertisement actually appears in a Maryland paper:—
"Bull Frogs.—The highest price will be given for well grown fresh Bull Frogs. Apply at Mr. Pierce's Bar-Room.—Easton, May 8, 1804."

ELEGY  On the death of Mrs. ANN COLLINS, late wife of Christopher Collins, of Mount-Zoar, Jefferson County, Virginia, who departed this life on the night of the 21st May, 1804, about 2 o'clock, in the fifty seventh year of her age, By her bereaved, afflicted Husband.
COME, mournful Muse! aid patroness of woe, And teach, once more, my plaintive notes to flow.— How oft, alas! thy voice then invokes, To paint, in rueful numbers, his afflictive strokes! The theme, long since, in Westmoreland begun,— There thou wilt furnish'd'st aid to my relief, To pour the balm of paternal grief, And mourn the exit of a just-born son!
Thence I remov'd to Berkeley's fruitful vale; But sorrow, soon my vacant dwelling found,— In vasty channels did my heart o'erflown, And open'd in it, many a bleeding wound! Sorrow, alas, and dire mishap Spread o'er all earth's distresses, map! In every land and climate appears, And all our world is but a vale of tears!
In Berkeley's vale, death soon asserts his sway, And soon that lovely infant disappears! Then fell a brother, and a left-born son! And various trials of tender ties, Imparable the tale of tears and sighs! Thus goes the tragic drama on—
But now, of late, a few days pass, A more serene a day was cast, Dip in the bitterest gull of woe; To make the full and tide of sorrow flow! The object dear—some of my love— High of my life—my life's friend! Upon whose union (now brought to an end) The sum of five and twenty years had been.
The foe had threaten'd for a while before, But threaten'd mildly, and conceal'd his dart; Perhaps to make th'intended stroke more sure, When he should aim it at the vital part. Dark, dismal night! the twenty first of May— Most dismal night of all my life! When death, at unexpected moment, snatch'd away My partner dear! my loving wife!
An evening's coming on he went to rest, And took her anodynes as erst the morn; And soon d'compos'd,—Our beds we also press, But ever dream'd of woe the night produce'd.
Short, and delusive interval from grief! Soon soon th'alarm our slumbers broke! We hasten to the awful scene, Feel ev'ry pulse,—try ev'ry mean That seem'd to promise a relief! That might be blest To give her rest, And help t'avert th'impending stroke!
But fruitless our united efforts prove— In vain t'oppose and stifle love— Friendship, in vain, its aid supplies, The foe now pulls off his disguise, And shows that he is DEATH! His pale form looms,—his for to get to beat!— A mortal chill supplants the vital heat; Palsied the tongue, are the pale lips; The gasp—the gasp—the life quite her breath, She quits the mortal stage!—she dies!—she dies!
What follows then?—but ev'n the mute looks To paint the anguish of that gloomy hour!— The children dark, they run from room to room— Tremble the yard, unconscious of the gloom,— Call on their mother—innocent relief, And after all the eloquence of grief! Fall on their father's neck—emhaust their tearful springs, "And sigh, and look, unutterable things."
What could a husband and a father do— He saw awhile about'd in speechless woe, In agonies of complex grief! And seeks the long known Throw for kind relief— Then summons all his energies of mind, And tries the balm of comfort to impart To each afflicted, filial heart, And make it to the will of Heaven resign'd. Thus pass the gloomy hours of night away, And introduce a no less gloomy day, And preparation for her obsequies, Rains fresh storms, and bursts of tears and sighs.
Behold, the doleful cortege, sad and slow, It moves into the dreary room, And adds fresh fables to the gloom, And feels the tide of woe. The pale midwife is placed within— And then the woe-laments begin, The loud tim-bas of children's woe, Then fresh the spouse's breath, With woe too big to be express'd, And which deny a tear.
But still the mournful scene concludes not here, The children have another mournful sight, Before the dreary but still from the light Conceal'd forever a fond mother dear— How they advance, and shed their tearful eyes, And wring their hands, & raise their cries— And thus in anguish say To the pale lifeless clay, "Once more, dear mother, let us thee embrace, Once more with tears bedew thy much lov'd face, Once more indulge the pic. ling, mournful p. in, To kiss these pale, cold lips, ne'er to be kiss'd a- gain."
Great God!—The father cannot stand the sight, But from the tragic scene precipitates his flight, And leaves the frantic daughters to his friends, And to his silent close-gon, To vent his tears and sighs and woe, Until the mournful tempest ends.
But still, alas, it ends not here, Another mournful scene demands another tear, The solemn Deed, in sable death's array, To the filial spot is soon away. The glad procession moves, silent and slow, The daughters leaning on the father go— Their mingled tears bedew the path they tread, Down to the dreary mansion of the dead.
But say, my Muse, is there no gleam of light, To gild this melancholy gloom of night? To fill the spouse's and the filial light, And dry the fountains of the mourners eyes Yes! falling love, in angel form, Comes t'flunge the griefful storm— Points up to Heav'n's bright regions fair, And lays that Ann now reigns there— Repeats the various things she said, While full'ing on a vision fair— How patient she endur'd her pain, Nor of the afflictive rod complain— What deep humility for sin, Poff'd her heart, and reign'd within— How, from the world, he mind was peas'd, How, on a Saviour's arm she lean'd, How, she delighted in God's word, And priz'd the worship of the Lord, How all her conduct, on the whole, Gave proofs of a redeem'd soul.
Sweet Cherub, Hope, whilst thou dost sing, We feel the comfort th. dost bring, We look to have'st bright in some fair, And seem to see our Ann there, Far from this world of grief and sin, With God, eternally blest in— Enjoy'ng with J'suit delight. The blissful vision bright, Spending her time in, endless days, In songs of endless praise.
