Modern Geography.
A Description of the Empires, Kingdoms, States, and Colonies, with the Oceans, Seas and Isles, in all parts of the World—including the most recent Discoveries and political Alterations, digested on a new plan.
By JOHN PINCKERTON.
The Astronomical Introduction by the Rev. S. Vince, A. M. F. R. S. and Plumian Professor of Astronomy, and Experimental Philosopher, in the University of Cambridge.
WITH NUMEROUS MAPS,
Drawn under the direction, and with the latest improvements, of Arrowsmith, and engraved by the best artists.
THAT a new and more correct work on Geography, than has hitherto appeared, has long been much wanted, is a fact too evident to admit of contradiction.—Few men are capacitated to perform the arduous task of compiling a system perfectly correct—but none, perhaps, that have attempted it, have been so successful as the author of these volumes. The work first appeared in London, in March 1802, and met with a reception which sufficiently proved the high estimation in which it was held, but, as an extract from the Author's preface [which may be seen at those places where subscriptions are received] will more clearly explain his plan, and the exertions which were made to give it to the British Public in a correct state, the American Publishers will content themselves with simply observing, that no endeavor shall be wanting, on their part, to render it, by useful additions, even more valuable than it now is. They have engaged several scientific characters to revise the whole work, and particularly that part which relates to America; to which considerably more attention will be paid than may have been thought necessary by the Author. To the maps in the English edition, will be added, a map of the United States, and one of each state of the Union, which have been some time preparing by a gentleman of professional eminence. The whole of the maps, which will be bound in a separate quarto volume, will be executed in a style of elegance never exceeded in this country. When it is considered, that the English Edition sells at thirty dollars, and the American is to be delivered to subscribers at nine, the Publishers are induced to believe that every friend to science and the interests of the American press, will give this work their cordial and immediate patronage.
CONDITIONS.
The Work will be comprised in two octavo volumes, of about 800 pages each, and a quarto Atlas, containing Sixty Maps.
It will be printed on a fine paper and new type.
The price to subscribers will be nine dollars, handsomely bound and lettered. Each volume will be delivered as soon as finished, and no money required until the delivery.
It will be put to press as soon as four hundred subscribers are obtained.
In order to procure an immediate encouragement to the undertaking, the sum at which subscribers will receive their books is considerably under that which will be charged to non-subscribers.
PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription, The First American Edition OF THE SELECT BRITISH CLASSICS, To be copied from the last London Edition.
IN THIRTY-EIGHT VOLUMES.
Embellished with seventy-six Engravings.
CONTAINING,
The Tatler, Spectator, Guardian, and
Connoisseur, the World, Rambler, Idler, and Adventurer, the Mirror, Shenstone's Sketches of Men and Manners, the Citizen of the World, or Letters from a Chinese Philosopher, and all the other Essays of Doctor Goldsmith. Together with brief Memoirs of the Lives of the Principal Authors.
IT would be superfluous to dilate in praise of that constellation of eminent authors, who have been distinguished, in these volumes, by the peculiar title of British Classics. The names of ADDISON, STEEL, POPE, JOHNSON, HAWKESWORTH, and GOLDSMITH, have been too long known, and too highly esteemed, to stand in need of an Eulogium at the present day. The excellent Essays written by them, and others their contemporaries, which are now proposed for publication, have been justly admired as a faithful picture of the manners of the Eighteenth Century, and recommended as containing, not only a rich Magazine of moral, and critical knowledge, as well as chaste amusement, but as the fairest models of English composition—seldom equalled, and never surpassed, by the writers of this or any other age.
All, therefore, that seems necessary for the Subscribers, is, to acquaint their friends and the public in general, that they intend to publish an American Edition of this truly classical collection, in a style that will not dishonor the works themselves, or be deemed unworthy of the patronage of their fellow-citizens.
THE CONDITIONS are as FOLLOW:
I. A Volume, containing from two hundred and fifty, to three hundred pages, will be published every fortnight. Each Volume shall be printed on a fine wove paper, with a new type, and be embellished with two Engravings, by the first Artists in the United States. The whole shall be superior to Parsons's London Edition, which has been sold for fifty dollars.
II. The price, to be paid on delivery, shall be $7 and a half cents, in boards.—This covering is to be preferred, because when books are fresh from the press, they are not fit to be bound in leather, nor can the whole be executed with so much uniformity. The price to non-subscribers will be advanced to at least one dollar a Volume.
III. In the last Volume, will be given, a complete alphabetical list of all the subscriber's names.

TOSTANISLAUS HOXTON, Esq.
May 3, 1803.
DEAR SIR,
Without enquiring into the motives which induced Mr. Paine to address his six extraordinary letters to the People of the United States—it seems to be high time at least, to disclose to the world the effects which this man's general conduct and these letters in particular, have produced upon our people—never having seen Paine, I can be actuated by nothing arising from the disgusting egotism which every one complains of in his conversation. My opinions are founded upon his own words and works, and upon a knowledge of the political and religious creed of our native American Republicans—since seventy-six it has been my pride to be one of this sect; I shall remain one, so long as our native virtue and strength shall be exerted to protect us against such foreigners, and the insidious doctrines they avow! Revolution is this man's darling passion! His insatiable vanity and arrogance has constantly intruded him into scenes of convulsion—and if we could believe his fanatic scribblers, he controls the destiny of the political world.
Not satisfied with this ideal importance upon politics, he has filch'd from deistical writers of a former age, the hacknied doctrines of infidels, in hopes also to prostrate christianity, the sweetest consolation of mankind! He has done more, he has set up a standard for infidelity to rally round, and a precedent for ingratitude to skull into! In his Age of Reason, he has reviled the religion of our country—in his letter to Gen. Washington, he has traduced his benefactor! But we thank God, that the religion of this western World is not to be overturned by the pigmy lucubrations of an unprincipled revolutionist! Our vigilant and enlightened government will frown upon his disorganizing and officious impertinence, and the people will cry out with one voice, "away with such foreign miscreants, Paine has been a Callender toward Washington, and Callender has been a Paine to Jefferson." But let us turn this fellow round and see what he has done—he tells us, that after he finished the revolution in America, he went to Europe! I would ask for what purpose? If he really considered himself an American citizen, why did he desert his favorite country, and deprive her of his immaculate energies at a time when the constitution was in the infancy of experiment? He has never dared to say, he was sent by the government as an agent of any kind, although, he has the audacity to complain, that the executive did not claim him when he was jeopardized in France by his own folly! No—The actual cause of his leaving this country at that time was the very same which brought him here in the first instance—to partake in more revolutions! And in this movement we see his own maxim verified, "that every vice has a virtue opposed to it," for so soon as our government assumed a shape of virtuous energy, he shrunk from its terrors and hastened into the vortex of European infamy! His Rights of Man addressed to the People of England is of the same complexion—it unhinges the fundamental principles of American independency—The natural right of every nation to govern itself without the interference of strangers. It goes to the foundation upon which every well regulated political institution builds its hope of wealth, peace and happiness! By stirring up discontent among the ignorant, by alarming the fears of the credulous—by misrepresenting the motives and actions of men in power, (and by this means displace those whom a majority of the nation have declared shall be their rulers) and by inculcating doctrines which go to produce civil war! This was Paine's employment in England! and Oh! sad to tell—while this political Quixote was busily employed in distributing his Rights to the people of England , but for his sudden disappearance the magistrates would have presented him with one of theirs—the right of hanging a Scoundrel! Tom found England would not do for him, and he stole over to France! Here this political voluptuary could glut his passion for revolutions! He had been by turns an English—an American—and a French citizen, but so much did he prefer the last, that he honored their national legislature with taking a seat—from this dignified stand did he look on without emotion, and witness the shocking massacres of these horrid times! But when his colleague, the tyrant Robespierre, had usurped the power over the Guillotine, and declared "that it was the interest of America to arrest Paine," then and not till then do we find our hero alive to the miseries of France, and his own
danger! Poor Tom has exerted all his sophistry and logic to colour over this act in his Tragic Comedy , but it won't do! Every man must ask, why did he go to France at all? Or why did he remain there after Robespierre's execution?—There can be but one answer, that to the first his pride was too much gratified to part with his importance—to the second, he felt free again to renew his former enjoyments, while the same scenes were playing over again, and he could not bring himself to part with such exquisite gratification! But mark my gentleman! No sooner had Bonaparte stopped the revolutionary excesses, and there appeared something like law and gospel in France we find him whining to our humane and generous executive, for leave to return in a government vessel, by which he would be protected against Britain where his life had been forfeited, and enable him too to leave France unmolested. But to secure this departure more certainly, and with some eclat, which his little soul is always panting after, he published ( wrongly translated ) the President's letter of permission written in the easy confidence of old acquaintance! Thus did this man avail himself of an indecorous publication to deceive the world as to executive patronage! Mr. Jefferson's enemies have "seized the golden opportunity" and charge him with advocating all the crimes of this detested monster! Although the President will feel no sort of uneasiness at this twisted inference among the numberless others, yet the friends to the administration cannot suffer Tom Paine who has cap'd the climax of iniquity, to intrude himself into our republican sect we disclaim the association and despise his principles! He has had the presumption to place himself (uninvited) in the front rank of our party! And our adversaries rejoice, because he is the sure instrument to do us injury! The Republicanism of Americans is as opposite to this man's doctrines, as is vice to virtue! I know that mine is, and I believe from every thing I have heard and seen, that such is the universal sentiment.
I am Dear Sir,
Your most obt. servant,
WILLIAM BAKER.
[Remarks of the Washington Federalist.]
The above letter, as it respects the principles and conduct of Paine, expresses the natural feelings, the honest independent sentiments of an American. We cannot however subscribe to the opinion, that the President is untarnished with the irreligious, envious and ungrateful principles of his friend Paine. If Doctor Baker will search the repository of his own bosom, he will find nothing there to justify Mr. Jefferson. The Doctor feels indignant at the restless, turbulent spirit, which would set the world in arms, and draw from the breast of man every source of consolation. He spurns the man from his society, who scoffs at religion, reviles the greatest ornament, the most munificent benefactor of our country. This is natural, it is American. But do we find any thing like this in the conduct of the President? Do we not find him in the habit of frequent and familiar correspondence with Paine?—Would Doctor Baker do this? The President does not merely give him permission to come to this country, but compliments him on his " useful labors ," applauds his conduct, addresses him with the confidence and familiarity of friendship, on the state of parties in this country, and refers him to a MEMBER OF CONGRESS, for further information on that head. "Did this in the President seem like disapprobation?" Does this not establish the "blasphemer," as an useful friend and partizan? A mere permission to come to this country, (which by the by was not requisite) might have been expressed in very few words. It was unnecessary to interlard it with fulsome compliments.
Doctor Baker speaks of the President's letter, as being improperly disclosed. Part of it was published before Paine left France. On his arrival here, did Mr. Jefferson express any disapprobation at Paine's thus giving publicity to the letter, or to any of those infamous writings, and abandoned principles which disgraced his correspondent? Did he even treat him with cold indifference or mere formal respect? No. Paine had not been half an hour in George-Town, before the President's Secretary was dispatched to enquire after his health, and to attend to his accommodation. Mr. Lewis was almost constantly engaged for several days, in performing the Presidential honors to Paine, in shewing him the City and procuring lodgings; for even this was attended with no small difficulty, barred as it was by the whole weight of Presidential influence. There were many who
thought and acted as Americans, and would not receive such an inmate as Paine. The day after Paine's arrival, all ceremony being waved, he dined with the President. This familiar and easy intercourse was kept up by these loving friends, and Paine was almost a constant guest at the table of our chief magistrate, the successor and professing friend of Washington. He dined with all the heads of the departments, and all those in and about Washington, over whom the President had any influence. With all these facts staring us in the face, can it be called a "twisted inference," to say that there is a cordial friendship subsisting between Mr. Jefferson and Paine, founded on and cemented by the similarity of their religious and political principles? There are, no doubt, many honest men of the democratic party, who with Dr. Baker, "disclaim the association and despise the principles" of Paine. But this is no proof that their sentiments accord with those of the government. The variance between professions and actions, between principles and practice, has become so familiar with our rulers, that it ceases to excite wonder. The admirers of Mr. Jefferson and his professed principles, from an anxious desire to approve, frequently suffer themselves to be led away, by the most flimsy pretexts, and bold assertions. Let any man lay aside his prejudices, and calmly reflect on the conduct of Mr. Jefferson and his particular friends and dependants, and then say, that they have been entirely uninfluenced by the principles and sentiments of Paine. No individual could have attracted such assiduous and respectful attention, greater than any man in the United States ever experienced from our present rulers, without his having gained their esteem and admiration. They could not have feared his influence or talents. By what other motive could they then be directed but love. We will carry this question home, by asking Doctor Baker, if any thing would have tempted him to act the same part? We readily undertake to answer for him, No! Why? Because he despised the man and his principles. What then but love and respect could have influenced the conduct of these who acted differently?
HAVANNA, April 27.
The Marquis de Montalva sailed yesterday for New-Orleans, to deliver up Louisiana to the Great Nation—which has here an agent buying up blood-hounds to hunt the poor negroes in St. Domingo.
CHILLICOTHE, (Scioto) May 21. A L A R M!
This morning, about three o'clock, an express arrived in town from Old Chillicothe, with information, that yesterday afternoon Capt. Herod while at work in his field, had been shot and scalped by the Indians, and who was not dead at the time he was discovered by his family, but was able to relate some of the circumstances and died soon after, having had two balls through his head. A body, upwards of 40 Shawnees from Sandusky, had been for several days lurking between Westfall and the settlement, and who, immediately after the murder, went to the prairie, drove the horses over the creek, took as many as they wanted and made off. On the alarm being given, the citizens of this town immediately turned out a company of volunteers, who left this about day light. The alarm through the country being general, we hope to give a good account of them in our next.
NEW-YORK, May 28.
FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Captain Don, of the brig Friends Adventure, arrived at New York, in 21 days from New Orleans, informs, that the greatest preparations were making there to receive the French troops, that even the custom house had been converted into barracks for their reception, and that contracts had been made for the delivery of 1000 cattle in the month of May for the army. Ere this they must have been informed of the blockade of this expected French army in the ports of Holland, by an English squadron: and that their preparations will be useless, not only for the present, but we hope for ever.
MARTINSBURG, June 10.
AUTHENTIC.
Mr. Jefferson's PAPER MONEY TENDER, TO Mr. Gabriel Jones of Rockingham county.
The following statement of facts, relating to this transaction, are made to the Editor of this paper, in a way which has obtained his entire confidence. It is a
transaction concerning which much has been written—much has been published—much has been said—Those who have in any way interested themselves will be pleased to see it reduced to precision.—To a community of so much intelligence, which contains so many individuals of great endowments, there can be no necessity for the editor of this paper to attempt to give a complexion, when the facts speak so loudly and so eloquently for themselves. By this remark we do not mean to forestall public opinion as to those editors or writers who may follow a different tract. The first duty which we owe to our subscribers is to publish the exact truth, as far as we can obtain it, upon all subjects which either relate to the public affairs, or to the public characters of the times.
[Editor Virginia Gazette.]
Rockingham, March 17, 1803.
Having seen in the Richmond Recorder some imperfect statements, unauthorised by me, relative to a transaction which took place some years ago, between Thomas Jefferson, Esq. the present chief magistrate of the United States, and myself, I have thought it proper to set the matter in a fair point of view by giving a true statement of facts, which should have been done ere this, had my health permitted. The facts are as follow, viz.
In the month of September 1773, Mr. Jefferson made application to me for the loan of fifty pounds, which he proposed returning in a few months with thanks, &c. which sum I lent him with the greatest cheerfulness, having, at that time, the highest confidence in him as a man of honor, honesty and integrity—for which he gave his bond payable in twelve months, when I proposed that if his convenience required, he might have its longer time, on condition that he would punctually pay the interest annually. This, however, Mr. Jefferson failed doing, nor did I hear from him on the subject until I received his letter enclosing the principal and interest in paper money, which when it came to my hand, was not worth more than one shilling in the pound. The following is a correct copy of the letter alluded to.
"Monticello, April 29, 1779.
"Dear Sir,
By Mrs. Harvey I enclose to you the principal and interest of the money you were so kind as to lend me some years ago. It furnishes me also with an occasion of acknowledging, with this, the many other obligations under which you have laid me, on which I shall always be proud to shew a due sense, when ever opportunities shall offer.
"I am, Dear Sir,
"With much esteem,
"Your friend and servt.
(Signed)
"Th. JEFFERSON."
I confess that on viewing the deceptive aspect of the foregoing letter and its enclosure, I felt great surprise and disappointment, that a person who stood so high in the public estimation as to be, at that time, the governor of Virginia, and who had shared so much of my private confidence, that he might have commanded any sum within my power to lend, should have risked his reputation, and attempted to requite my friendship, by re-paying the paltry sum of fifty pounds and interest, with something less than one fourth of the real legal interest then due thereon—which I thought not worth receiving, and therefore, on the return of Mrs. Harvey, re-enclosed to Mr. Jefferson the said paper money, together with his bond, in a piece of blank paper, leaving him to his own reflections—resolving at the same time, not to expose him until I should be advised of the result of his deliberations on the subject—Of which I heard nothing until the 29th day of February, 1780, when a Mr. Leonard Herring, a neighbor of mine who is yet living, informed me he had taken from the sash of a window in a public house in Staunton, a letter directed to me, which he delivered to my hand.—On opening the supposed letter, I found it to be part of half a sheet of paper covering the aforesaid bond. The thin cover however was so worn out at the folds and corners, that the bond was to be seen, which was also considerably fretted, especially at the corners. By whom that paper was forwarded, or how it found its way to the sash, where my obliging neighbor accidentally discovered it, I have never yet been able to learn—but, from the whole of the circumstances, I was induced to believe it might be intended, never to reach my hands—However, after sundry evasions, and repeated applications to Col. Nicholas Lewis of Albermarle, to whom I was referred as the agent of Mr. Jefferson, and while he was in France, I received payment of the principal and interest.
GABRIEL JONES.

From the RECORDER.
MUCH has been said concerning the instruction that is to be derived from the perusal of history. The greater part of it, however, consists of nothing but narrative of absurdities, and of crimes; and so far from correcting the understanding, or improving the heart, it is our humble, but deliberate opinion, that the less history, which is perused, makes just so much the better for the mind of the reader. If the first battle upon record had been fought yesterday, the narrative would have filled every eye with tears, and every heart with horror—but, from the habits of perusing what is called history, we learn to read the extirpation of two hundred thousand people in a single day, with as little concern, as if they had been a nest of hornets.
To us, it appears, that the chief consequence of historical studies, is, to harden sensibility. These remarks have recurred in consequence of the unexpected rupture which has once more broke out in Europe. The conduct of Bonaparte, in his conference with lord Whitworth, is a scene, perhaps, unexampled in modern ages. It seems that we may say of him, what an English archbishop formerly said of cardinal Woolsey, "Know you not, that this man is drunk with prosperity."
And for its eternal pretences and protestations, that he is anxious for the continuation of peace, it is our suspicion, that not a word is sincere. The first consul finds it necessary to engage the attention of the French in foreign war, in order to divert it from the extraordinary scene of his elevation. To England, peace was equally desirable. To Bonaparte, in his particular situation, war was, in many respects, desirable. When Henry, the VIIth of England was upon his death-bed, he gave to his son and successor, an advice to this effect, that he had only his choice of commencing foreign war, for the sake of exercising the spirit of his turbulent nobility, or of being subject to the perpetual dread of domestic insurrection. Something very like this must be the situation of the little Corsican. The English ministry had every conceivable motive to desire the prolongation of peace.
Of all the pieces of bombast, that, for some years past, have appeared, perhaps none has been more egregious than the French proclamation addressed to the inhabitants of Louisiana. Whether the masterly pen of Bonaparte had any concern in such an effusion of self-adulation, it is not possible to determine—but the manner in which he is referred to, exceeds every limit of modesty, propriety, and good sense.
It is a bad wind, says the proverb, that blows no body good. The supposed war between France and England will, in all probability, be the means of postponing, for it can hardly be the means of preventing an ultimate dispute between France and the United States. The interest of the colony of Louisiana differs so essentially from that of the North Western Territory, there are so many irremovable grounds of debate, that a long period of tranquillity cannot be expected. Of this, we have long since, taken frequent notice.
Of all the singular transactions that have occurred in the federal history, perhaps, that which wanders the farthest out of the way of probability, is the congressional donation of two million of dollars to the president. We can all remember the time, when the whole country ran almost out of its senses, when the French directory were said to have asked for a bribe. In the pure spirit of consistency, we have now solemnly devoted, and appropriated a bribe to be remitted to that very government, at which we formerly felt, or pretended to feel, such indelible indignation. Citizens of America how are these matters to be reconciled? If Congress can shut their doors and vote away two millions of dollars, they can, by the same rule, vote fifty—and then, what has become of your boasted constitution? It signifies nothing for a farmer to say, that he has assigned an excellent system of rules for the conduct of his overseer, if, in the mean time, that overseer can find a way to dispose of the plantation. This seems to be a fair parallel with the case in view.
When Mr. Monroe has arrived in France, he must find himself in a situation at once ludicrous and distressing. The news, as to the two millions of dollars, must have got there before him—And Talleyrand, and others, will be in constant expectation, when, where, and in what proportion, the golden shower is to fall. Indeed, the late governor of Virginia has been put, if ever a human being was put, into a queer position. "Ci-
izens," says he "I cannot deny that I come to bribe you—but you must have patience, till I can deliberate upon the division of the spoil. By the way, it is totally incomprehensible to me, upon what consistent principle I was' dispatched to bribe you. The youngest of us can remember, when it was supposed, that a bribe had been asked by the French government. It is likewise remembered with what virulence of resentment, the innocence and sublimity of American virtue revolted against the alledged proposal. Upon what account we have struck our colours, I really cannot inform you. I was sent here upon the notion of purchasing from the First Consul, rather of bribing his ministers to persuade him to give up Louisiana. How it came to the head of any human being, that he was to be enticed out of such an acquisition, I am likewise unable to inform you. But as it is, that I have been dispatched.—Whether it is really practicable to get the French army sent back from Louisiana, by distributing two millions of dollars among the clerks, and aid-de-camps of Bonaparte, time only can determine. I say, clerks, and aid-de-camps, because, with such a character, his ministers, and his generals, can rarely be more than his clerks, and his aid-de-camps. I candidly think, that you must be smiling at me—that the object for which the money was got, is absolutely and utterly unattainable—and that the wisest use I can make of it will be, to take my passage home again, and return it to the president. Congress have resolved, that it is never to give them an account of it—and hence, it is not worth my while to tire you with the ultimate conclusion of the story."
The public attention and expectation has for a long time been suspended on the important question of war in Europe. The London papers discover as much ignorance and uncertainty as our own.—According to the conjectures of every political speculator, it is one day War and another day Peace; each declared with the voice of positive knowledge. A thousand various and contradictory reports torment the public mind, and consistent with the national character, either excite the utmost alarm, or lull into a security as groundless. We cannot avoid smiling at the very trifling nature of some omens, which are regarded as the certain harbingers of fate: yet should we not too hastily censure a credulity that has its rise in the most important interest of the empire, and of individuals. From the nature of a government, in any respect founded on the monarchical principles, secrecy in its councils is unavoidable. In the executive of the British government the observance of secrecy is most important. Its vicinity to its enemy would make the opposite conduct be attended with the most destructive consequences. Every circumstance which transpires in London is known in Paris in two or three days at the utmost. To keep their foe ignorant of their designs, it becomes, therefore, absolutely necessary that they should keep all knowledge of it from the people. Of course the mind, constantly on the watch for any thing that may either cherish its hopes or fears, seizes with avidity on all offers, and instantly converts what it receives into certainty; such is the nature of both these passions; and it cannot be doubted that both are now strongly awakened in the breast of every Briton, who wishes the honor and safety of his country.
The United States cannot be an uninterested spectator of these transactions. The interests of this country never were, nor can they ever be thoroughly detached from the politics of Europe, so long as we continue to live by commerce. Should the present negotiations terminate in hostilities between Great Britain and France, it is next to a certainty that all the potencies of Europe will be once more drawn in array of battle against each other, and there is much more than conjectural reason to believe, that it will be the object of one or other of the leading parties, to draw us into the vortex. Our system of neutrality may be adopted with a virtuous resolution to persevere in it, according to the true spirit dictated by sound policy. But have we not seen under an administration at least as firm, and energetic, and wise as the present, with what a hobbling gait we marched even from the first moment? Experience of an evil does not always teach the wisdom to avoid it. And what solid cause have we to think that the uprightness of the powers that be, will induce them to walk more correctly? In such an event our safety demands an administration firm, clear-sighted and vigilant—prompt to determine, and vigorous to act—just in its public relations—unawed by threats, and unassailable by flattery from abroad. In the reverse of
this, we may rely, as an inevitable consequence, on being involved in all the calamities of war, and perhaps, at a period which shall be the choice of our enemies, not of ourselves. Prophecies have been spoken by some of our wisest statesmen, and remedies against a threatening evil held to view—Heaven grant that in the fulfilment of the one, we may not have too soon to regret the neglect of the other. (Anti-Demo.)
We invite the particular attention of our readers to the letter of Dr. Baker in this day's gazette. We delight in discovering and making known such a rare instance of a man professing democratic principles, and attachment to our present administration, who can yet retain some respect for religion, and some regard for law, order and subordination in society. The remarks of the Washington Federalist are a proper and sufficient reply to the apology which the doctor attempts to make for the conduct of Jefferson in calling Paine to this country, and in patronizing and countenancing him since his arrival.

RENYAMIN CONNET,
Who committed the aggravated robbery on Miss M c Dowel, in Pennsylvania, in March last, was apprehended about the first of May, in Upper Canada. He was conducted back through the western part of this state a few days since. The above may be relied on. The circumstances of his apprehension were peculiar and well nigh proved fatal to Connet. (Patriot.)
Mr. MONROE.
A London paper of the 16th April, contains the following paragraph: If reliance can be placed upon private intelligence from Paris, the differences between the United States and Spain, on the subject of New-Orleans, are on the point of being adjusted. It is stated, that Bonaparte has lately explained to Mr. Livingston, the American Minister at Paris, that the interruption of the navigation of the Mississippi had been the result of mistake—and that measures should be adopted with the Cabinet of Madrid to remove all subject of complaint upon that head.—Should this intelligence prove correct, it will not be necessary for Mr. Monroe, the American Envoy Extraordinary, who has just arrived at Havre to remain long in France. He will be enabled to succeed Mr. King here much sooner than could be expected.
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, dated April 24. "It is certain that Mr. Monroe's negotiation at Paris is in a fair way. It is even said there is no doubt of the cession of Louisiana to the United States, on condition that the latter settle all claims of their individuals against the French Republic, and pay THREE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in the bargain."
Extract of a letter from an Officer on board one of the French transports, dated Helooet, April 6, 1803. "Sir,
"It is with pleasure I sit down to inform you, that we are still here, and from present appearances will remain some time, for there is an English squadron cruising off here to intercept the expedition, and it appears that the English is determined the French shall not get possession of Louisiana—we have had the troops on board this fortnight, and are ready for sea, but we are in expectation the troops will be disembarked in a day or two, as this and the neighborhood is to be garrisoned with 15,000 French troops. If we should be so fortunate as to get clear of those fellows we shall go immediately to St. Petersburg, and from there proceed to Philadelphia. I need not mention how pleasing the idea is, to meet those friends, whom I shall ever esteem, as hearty as I am at present. If the United States, should be engaged in a war, I hope it will not be until we get home, for I should not like to be taken, after an absence of two years."

From the Savannah Advertiser.
Federal circuit Court. William F. Hobby } This was an action brought in the United States, by the plaintiff, William J. Hobby, late Post-master at Augusta against the defendants, Ambrose Day and James Hely, for a false and malicious libel, published in a paper edited and printed by them, entitled the Louisville Gazette and Republican Trumpet, wherein the plaintiff, then post-master, was charged in substance with being in the habit of committing alarming abuses in his office, with detaining and sometimes totally suppressing letters—with sending newspapers of a republican complexion by wrong route, destroying, or detaining them till they became useless; with refusing to deliver the papers of the defendants to their subscribers in Augusta, and other abuses which the publication insinuated, had increased to such a degree as to occasion numerous complaints, and to become of public notoriety. On charges of this high and criminal nature, which, if true, necessarily involved the guilt of perjury, as they could not be committed without a violation of the oath of office, the plaintiff thought proper to afford the defendants an opportunity of producing their proofs in a court of justice, and on Tuesday last the cause came on for trial in this city, when numerous as it was pretended had been the abuses, and generally as they were alledged to be known, not a single witness was produced to establish any one of the allegations, nor was the slightest evidence offered of a complaint against the office having ever existed, but the whole publication evidently appeared to be totally without foundation, and to have originated in diabolical wickedness and deliberate malice. After a short argument by Mr. Bulloch for the defendants, and Mr. Walker for the plaintiff, the cause was submitted to a jury of upright, impartial, and honest men, many of whom, though not agreeing in political sentiments with the plaintiff, rightly considered and justly estimated the sacred right of individual reputation, felt themselves bound by eternal principles of justice, and after retiring for a few moments, returned verdict for plaintiff, $2,000.

M A Y.
'Tis May—no more the huntsman finds The lingering snow behind the hill; Her swelling bosom pregnant earth un- binds, And love, and joy, creation fill. Over the grassy streamlet's brink, Young verdure peep, themselves to view; At morn the tippled insects sit and drink, From flowery cups, the honied dew. Deep crimsoned in the dyes of spring, On every side, broad orchards rise, Soft-waving to the breeze's balmy wing, Dancing lights in northern skies. In ditties wild, devoid of thought, The Robin, through the day, descants; The pensive Whip-poor-wil, behind the cot, Her dirge, at evening duly chaunts, Beside the rushy-fringed rill, Intent, the treacherous angler stands— He waves the phant rod with fatal skill, And strings the prey with joyful hands. Prope on his fork, her Colin stands, Beside the Milk-maid at the cow; The snowy streams she turns, with ro- guish hands, And laughs, while Colin wipes his brow. Queen of the months, soft-blushing May! Forever bright, forever dear, O, let our prayers prolong thy fickle stay, And exile winter from the year. Life, love, and joy, to thee belong— Then fly the storm and lucid cloud: Thou giv'st the heavens their blue, the groves their song, Thou com'st, and nature laughs aloud. Let prouder swains forsake the cell, In arts or arms to rise and shine; I blame them not—alas! I wish them well, But May and solitude be mine.
ON EDUCATION.
The Vine never flourishes without a prop or support. Like the fruit it bears, it is of a social nature, and rewards the friendly shade which supports it, with its purple treasures. But if it is suffered to creep along without a prop, it will most certainly disappoint the hopes of the planter, and prove barren and useless.
Application.
This is a fit emblem of youth, which if left to itself, will never grow up in wisdom or in virtue. To education alone, must children be indebted for their morals, and the care of the parents is always visible in the conduct of the offspring.
When a youth has received a virtuous and liberal education, no gratitude can be sufficient to discharge the debt he owes to his parents—since he is not only indebted to them for his being, but also for all his hopes of peace here, and of eternal happiness hereafter.
On the other hand, he who has been neglected in his youth, has a heavy accusation to bring against those who reared him, when he comes to years of maturity. Evil inclinations if not checked, will grow amazingly upon us, while good ones, if they be not properly encouraged, will fade and die away—and that will be too late deplored in age, which might have been remedied in our earlier years.
How careful then ought parents and guardians to be of their charge, of which they must one day render up an account, where no idle excuses will be admitted; no evasion nor equivocation avail them!
If it be then found that they have been careless in this great work, how poignant will be their shame and how severe their punishment!
But if they have faithfully discharged this trust, committed to them by heaven itself, how great will be their honor, how glorious the crown of their reward!
The education of children is indeed a matter of such consequence, that it concerns not only private persons, but the public in general; and that nation will always be the most virtuous and the most respectable, whose youth are educated with the greatest care, and are earliest instructed in the duties of Men and Christians.
These, like the generous Vine will fully repay the pious care of the Planter—and, while they are known by their fruit, will reflect honor upon the hands that reared them.
Public notice is hereby given, that Sermon may be expected at Falling Water Meeting-House, on the second Sabbath in June next, and that the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered there on the third Sabbath in June, by the Rev. Doctor Cooper and others; and on the fourth Sabbath in June, there will be Sermon at Tuscarora.

GENERAL ASSORTMENT of
MERCHANDIZE,
Which it is their determination to sell, as cheap as any that can be had in this place. They pretend not to have a capital so large, nor a concern so extensive, as to require a partner at all times "to attend the markets of New-York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and purchase all the cheap things sold at Vendue or elsewhere," in those three great commercial cities; but it is their intention, and they hope to be able generally, to keep a very handsome assortment of well-chosen Goods, and being vain enough to believe, that they can purchase upon as good terms as their neighbors, they intend that none shall undersell them. They now make a sincere tender of their acknowledgments to their friends for their generous support heretofore, and will only expect a continuance thereof in proportion to their endeavors to please and serve them. They have at present BAR-IRON & STEEL, well assorted, and mean to keep a constant supply of those useful articles. Shepherd's-Town, June 3, 1803.
