SALEM May 15. On Tuesday last the feverai companies of Militia in this town turned out, puri'uant to law, for the infpeftion of arms, See. and were found to be well provided with every thing;but officers. Capt. Foster, the 'only remaining qommifliontd officer in the regi ment, has laudably exerted himfejf to pre serve it fvoiri dissolution. His company, which was paraded again 011 Wednesday, performed a variety dfexerciles, with as much perfection as could be expected, under their circainlknces. Sketch of lb* military prcceedings in Gloucef ' ter, on Tuesday last—from a Correspondent lb ere : « The COMPANY of ARTILLERY under Capt. Sahg#-.nt paraded at 10 o'clock a. m and, after an inspection of arms, &c. by their military maneuvres convinced the spectators they had not neglected discipline since their la ft public appearance : indeed it may with justice to the corps be laid, they (land unrivalled in point of exactness and knowledge of their duty. A handsome col lation was made at their gun house, at which the field and ftaff officers of the third regi ment partook. " The COMPANY of EXEMPTS, un der the command of Col. WM. Pearce, made their firft public appearance. To do j'jftice to this respectable part of the citizens is not an easy talk. They paraded at 10 and upon an inspection of arms, each man was fouwd with a bright king's arm, with the usual quantity of cartridges and ball, a complete knapsack, cartouch box, bayonet, canteen, and every other requisite of the mi litia law ; and by the firmneft of their con duct evinced their readiness, if neceflary,' to repel every usurper of the real rights of free men. Tl.e company partook of an ample entertainment provided by their commander *this house, and closed tbe day with federal toasts and mutual promises of support to the Federal Constitution. " The several militia companies paraded at their respective posts ; and ft is a fact deser ving publicity from a seaport town, that scarce a fine was levied for want of appear ance or equipments. " Indeed, every corps exhibited the means an j. le _ f° r energetic defence ; which, inTteaport exposed to the attacks of a pre datory foe,-iscertainly a matter of great im portance." #eto=lDf)eatre.

If any gentleman can fay there has been pieces on the opposite fide refufed a publication in this paper, I will then yield to the aflertion, and confefs partiality. But to ths contrary, I have never deceived any thing which tend to oppose the publics- j tions above alluded to—and further, it has been a matter ot regret with me that 1 have not ; for, though I lament the fact of a di vided people, ft.ll I avow it is my wilh to exhibit in vnjr paper the arguments of both paities—lf the gentleman who forwarded the mrflage will take the matter into impar tial conlideration, and view the situation in v>hich lam placed, he certainly could not still retain an opinion that I was partial Should 1 have refufed to publish those pieces when ,° n J to preis, , the authors would undoubted ly have concluded that I was exercising pur tialtty. Therefore, those who are on the opposite fide, mud bring forward their pro ductions, and a refufal to publifli them, will proclaim me guilty. The ensign of Impartiality displayed by this imparttalyrinterto his impartial readers, reminds one ot certain (igns by sur geon-barbers, wherein i,generally reprefen ed, some brutal ruffian, with an inflrunent like a broad-axe, Handing, (like Sancho Pan za over the baffled tonfor) near the fainting victim of his butchery. They are b6th held out as temptations, and are alik£ tempting. This man " regrets" that the people around him, are not as impartial as hinifelf—.he la ments that they will not write against gov ernment, merely because his impartiality is tds apparently base than he willies it were. Here is a monster, for you ! Without a moral principle in his piece, without ever raising a question of right or wrong, of motive, duty, or obligation, he forms for himielf, inftanter, a code for his conduct in office this cod', is comprised in the single word, Im partiality. VViich claims your devotion, I' ranee or your own country ? What is your anlv.tr ? ImpartiaTitv. Are you the friend of Religion or of Atheism ? Impartial, up on my honor. W 1 ould you prjferve the American government, change itforthat of h ranee, or live in anarchy? I am impartial. Would you enjoy the reputation of a man of bt.iior and of feeling, or pass for a modern «>*- tally to prevent, in oije mode or other the execution of that act, in a very important pare of this state. The act you thus- da ringly opposed, which was f&r a'collection of a tax on lands and houses is framed with particular anxiety for the relief of the poo rer part of the community, and the burthen of it must fall principally on the rich. The ignorance ofit which'was affected, was with out the lead colour of excuse, bccsufe infor mation was offered, which was repeatedly rejected, and in some inilanjes with tumult and disdain.'i Neither could you fairly al ledge anv ground for discontent, on account either of the character or conduct of the of ficers concerned, because the former appears to have been perfectly unexcepiionable, and the latter in general metitorious in the high est degree, as they united with that firmnefs which their duty required, every endeavour confident with it, to give all the informati on in their power, aid to execute the law in the manner molt convenient for the peo ple. By yout>ill conduct, however, and that of your aflbciates, a considerable part of three counties was inflamed into a state of iofurrection : The law in question loft all its efficacy : Officers were infultcd J.

He fays, he had the felicity to be named in Franklin Bache's will as the man who " ought to succeed him." Now, although filch a nomination were e nough of itfelf to damn any man to ever lasting infamy, and, although it 6c of no consequence whether " Tom, Dick, or the D—l," happened to be named, yet as a Gen tleman took the pains to come and inform me of the state of the facts, in complaisance to him I can do no less than fay that it is an utter falftiood, and that Wm. Duane is not named nor alluded to. On Saturday last the Circuit Court pro nounced judgment against the several per sons convicted of Misdemeanors, previous to which Judge Iredell, asprefiding Judge of the Court addressed the several defen dants as follows : *' George Shaffer, Henry Stabler, Htnry Schif fert, Chri/iian Ruth, and Daniel Schwartz 11 Though the crimes of which you have been convicted, in some refpecti, are differ ent in their nature, yet they all have refer rence to one common object, that of defeat ing, by force of arms, the execution of av act, of the Congre s ofthe tJnited States. You and your confederates fuceeded so far as to- enemies of their country, than any within the bosom of it. Th; fcrvices of ilu-fe gen tlemen have been attended with great ben tfit to their c/H' itry, and great: h >nor to themfclves ; but ther- is too. much reaf- n to fear th y mud Ijave furtained much personal inconvenience, for.which, at we)l as fur other private injuries,, and a great additional ex pense and inconvenience tj the public, the authors of ihofs outrages are alone accounta ble. , You have each of you undergone a fair and impartial trial.' awA have been con victedrcf one ©r moreoffences charged againll you, for which it is now the duty of the court to pronounce the sentence of the law upon yoji. which, the law has confided to us, we have endeavoured tp execute to the best of our judgement, confiU deling on the'one hand the necessity. of ma. king proper examples to deter others' from the commilCon of the like offences, which, it seems to have been supposed would always pass. with impunity ; and on the. »ther hand paying a due regard to the various circum ftanceV which appear to have difcrimiriated the conduct of each-os you." The punishments inflicted were as follow : That George SchafFer, convicted upon two counts of the indictment, viz, for con fpifacy and obftrnction of process, pay a fine of 400 dollars, and be imprisoned for eight months, for the firft offence ; for the fecoitd, that he pay a fine of 200 dollars, and be rmprifoned four months after the e* piration of the firft term : and, at the con. clufion of the twelve mor.ths' that he give security for his good behaviour for two years to come, himf If in the fumof tooo dollars, and two sureties in 500 dollars each. 0 That Daniel Schwartz, convicted of con spiracy, psy a fine of 400 dollars, be impri soned for eight months, and give security at the close of that period, for his good beha viour for one year to come, hitnfelf in i®oo dollars and two fureries in 500 dollars each.

After concluding this bufinefg the court adjourned. Vand becalmed, they came out ofTatigier,rowed up alongside and com menced a hot J:re, which was speedily re turned.
