The boat or vessel should be built long, flat and sharp, like a particular bind ofbatteuux; as the resistance a boat meets with when sailing against the current, princi pally at the bow, while the water passing along the sides, has comparatively but little ctleet— and as vessels for this purpose would seldom navigate in tide waters where they would be exposed to storms, the timbers and plank should be as small and light as safety would permit; place in the stern, two smalt wheels, one on eacli side of the rudder, which wheels ar e to be turned by the water when under way —in each wheel fix a set of cogs’ similar to those in grist mills, which mu st be so contriv ed as to raise or lower, by a screw or other wise—the other machinery for turning some windmills or fans, to be placed on the deck must also be similar to those used in grist or merchant mills, where the bolts go by water. Suppose a vessel twelve or fourteen feet in width, and thirty-five feet in length, exclusive of tho cahin—place on each side of the deck four windmills or lans, between two and three feet distant from each other—they should be of the following dimensions, viz. four feet in width, the wings two fact in depth, to be turned by the water wbee’s, and the michinery affixed to them—when the vessel is under way, the wind -to be discharged from trc fans in a horizontal direction —I mention this because the wind dis charged from the Dutch fans is delivered from the fan at an angle of sixty degrees from the ftenzon : yet when one of these fans is turned in the swiftest manner possible, the power of the wind on the wheat is equal to a very strong wind or gale—all the axlctroes of these wind mills, should run on small wheels, as they ■would be turned wi ll more case and swiftness ; the space from which the wind is discharged from the fan being four feet in width, and say three feet in depth, making twelve square feet; but by the time the wind had gone two and two and a half feet, it will spread one foot on each side, making six feet in width, and two feet perpendicular ; which is five feet, or thir ty square feet, to each fan. If then, on expe riment, it shall be found that an artificial wind can be mada on the deck, equal to a gale, the question would be simply this—will a vessel of Tie dimensions I have mentioned, run against the common currents of our livers, built high for the purpose, going before a gale operating on two hundred and forty square feet of canvas, or which is the same thing, a mainsail twenty feet in height fourteen wide at the bottom, and ten feet at the top. As I have shown the above plan to a number of persons who think there is some probability of succeeding, but none have undertaken to make the experiment, and not having the means to make it myself, should any person or persons think proper to make i', the subscriber will enter into a contract both liberal and generous. JOHN PFXK. Cumberland County , N Jersey, Jan. 21, 1807. From the Trenton True American. Queries /hr candid federalists to answer. It is not a solemn duty of every friend to Republican government, to give it all the sup port in their power, in order that we may ne ver fall a pray to such arbitrary and bloody go vernments as have brought poverty and w retch edness upon all the nations upon the earth besides ours-? To give support to republican government, ought Wc not to lay aside all party prejudices and personal dislikes, and support those, be they who they may, who are duly elected to admin ister our government. Can those be called fiends to our constitu tion, who are found in continual opposition to our constituted authorities ? Are those friends to republican government who patronize and pay printers, whose dailv and weekly frade it is to revile the rulers of the people, and endeavor to bring reproach upon republican principles, measures and men ? 11 men who so far forget their duty and inte rest, as to oppose the administrators of the only free government in the world, and cheiish in their bosoms, printers purposely to revile and abuse them, cannot answer for this conduct to their consciences, how will they appear at the bar of that God from whom ail our blessings Jlow, and to whom we must render an account of our use or abuse of them ?

ID. a gentleman who came passenger iu the Ihig Eliza, 10 days from Philadelphia, wc learn that a vessel had arrived there in 30 days from Bordeaux, and brought intelligence of another great and bloody action between the French and Russians, in which the latter were com pletely defeated. The engagement took place about the last of February—and Bonaparte is said to have retired to winter quarters. This news is stated to have been translated from French papers, and printed in Philadelphia, previous to the sailing of the Eliza, but not a paper containing it has been brought to this place. We will not pretend to hazard any o pinion with respect to the truth or untruth of the above—it is in substance as we have heard it. The public will therefore judge for them selves. It may be presumed, however, that a few days more will furnish satisfactory infor mation on the subject. We are assured from an authority that can not be doubted, that judge Mar shall, William Marshal (clerk of the federal court) and major Scott (the marshal) dined with Burr lately, (in private) at the Eagle. Is this the proper dig nity which the officer's of a court should ob serve towards a criminal, who is to be urrign ed before them on a charge of treason ? Wc apprehend not. The citizens will look to it. Major S. has passed for a republican, and should be made to know his duty better. Real republicans never countenance traitors. It is the peculiar province of federalism, to protect and support those disorganising wretches wiio sere laying schemes to subver t the constisution of the U. States, and to effect the downfall of a government emphatically denominated the world’s best hope, the last asylum of oppressed humanity .—Pen n burgh h<it.

Mfti is strong —woman is beautiful. Man is daring and confident—woman is diffident and una. suming. Man is great in action— woman in suffeiing. Man shines abroad— woman at home. Man talks to convince— woman to pursuadc and please. Man has a rugged heart—woman a soft and tender one. Man prevents misery—woman releaves it. Man has science—woman taste. Mail has judgment—woman sensibility. Man is abe inn of justice—woman of mercy. Washington City, April 10. DIED, on Wednesday last, in bis 50th year, JOHN BhCKLEY, esquire, Clerk of the House of Representatives of the United States. He was born in Great Britain ; but, when only eleven years old, came under tiie protection of his uncle, to this country, where he lias con tinued to reside ever since. Our contest with Great-Britain no sooner began to unfold itself, than yielding to the most ardent impulse of patriotism, he took an ardent part in it, and assumed the discharge of duties, fin! of responsibility and danger, and particular ly those ol tiie Mayoralityof Richmond, a place assigned him, notwithstanding his youth, by the confidence of his fellow-citizens, and at a period when the Britisii army was overrunning the state of Virginia. Having been educated to the bar, hr pursu ed that profession with reputation, so far as va lious public duties admitted, until the organi zation of the general government, when he was choscT) Clerk of the House of Representa tives, a place which he filled with rare, perhaps imp! ecedentcd distinction, with the intermission of a term of two years, untH his decease. His ai ticulation was distinct, his elocution comman ( mg,and Ins pnriiamcntai y knowledge accurate and extensive. But his highest dbucciraa was his inflexible patridtisni, and adhcrance to rfc* j publican principle's. Through the whole pe- ■ riod of his life he pursued an unbending course. Devoted to the cause of liberty, much of his happiness flowed from its triumpth ; and zeal which prompted him in the ardor of youth, to resist external tyranny, remained unabated, during the more mature period oflile, against internal oppression. Died, at East-Haddam, Con. March 1 5th, Widow Mary Sparrow. Her death being pre ceded by unprecedented symptoms, after her decease her body was opened, when two balls of hair were found in her stomach—one about the sfec of a gooses’ egg, the other of a hen’s f-rrer O’ PORT OF SAVANNAH.
