On going off, I was detained some time on board, tint succeeded in persuading the Com• mender to abstain from such a breach of neutra lity, and he left the port, and is now in sight of the east end of the Island, and will, no doubt, capture every thing coming from England, Neu trals as well as British,—the Commander declar ing, that the Bag would not protect the carge).-- I send you this for the. information of the Mer chants and Underwriters, as. it appears to be the general sentiment and intentiou of all the AMeri can privateers, to detain all Neutrals having Bri tish manufactures on board, or Corning from a British port with protium of their countries." The Louisa, RODRIGUES. from Bahia to Lon don, was boarded in lat. 30.

It appeared, that on the Proserpine be ing carried into the harbour of Toulon, Danevan wearing a French dress, accompanied by some Frerchmen, came Oil board the Proserpine, and wished to entice several of the witnesses to enter into the service of the Eiemv.

AMERICA; JEFFERSON'S OFFErt TO CONGRESS, OF HIS • LIBRARY. Dear Sir, I atti just, by the N ews p a p ers , t o ld,, That the Britons, our foes, like jhe Vandals of old, into Washington pour'd, a most terrible float, And carried destruction from pillar to post.; • . Not contented to pierce poor American hearts, Thit extending their triumph o'er Science aild Arts; . Nap, e'en onr fine Library pull'd to the ground,• - And burnt all the books, it in - sheets, or if bound ;w The World of this action can form but one view, And think that the foe the same measures pursue As they - did when before Copenhagen - they came, ' And -et; without seraph!, the town in a flame, For no earthly reason that they could advance, — But to keel) Danish Ships from-the harbours' o f France. It appears that since Britain has gain'd a release - Front war nearer home, she can tic'er be at . peace, But at us aims her vengeance, full-artu'd Inn! full-banded, And with savage designs on our country has lauded • Thus taking advantage, they cruellyjlar'd, Of an innocent people unarm'e, unprrimi!d. ,And wheat was the cause—why to Frauel we were friends, As if ev'ry State should not serve its own ends. These Britons forget in their insolence, rat 'em, Il'hen VAN GIIC.NT once destroy'd all l& shipping at Chatham,' When Di ituyrzit triumphantly rode up the Thames, And *night have set Met, and all London in flames; Yet London was then near a thousand years old, While ' . Washington had not its teens fully told. But alas ! the thing's stone—'twas a horrible sight And now let me tell you the cause why I write. I presume as The Congress consist of a breed, Among whom there are some whit can write, and some read, They would fain recommence their Collection of Books, Because in the eyes of the world it well looks ; 'Tis a grace to a nation, if only fur skew, And with us they're of little more use, as you know; But now a collection to form would be hard, Since from dealings with Enrope, by War we're deharq.. What Books I possess, I to you need not tell, • You know their condition, extent—l would sell. I was full fifty yea rs i n collecting the whole, • And I never spar'd pains o r expence—'pon My soul. .• - While residing at Paris, I rose very soon;- Devoting, midst politics, each afternoon 'For nearly two summers, on this speculatiow, ror , works that coneern'il our American nation : -Besides, I gave orders to search Europe round, For volnines that could not in Paris be found ; At Amsterdam, Frankfort, lit London, Madrid, - My - Scouts-1 directed most freely to bid, 2nd hence I was able such works to o'dtain As nc'er will, perhaps, be collected again. In number they're nine or ten thousand, at least, For Philosophers, Statesman, an exquisite feast. For American Statesmen they're really unique— Parliamentarr branches, and dip/omatiyue, So fullrthey treat, he must be very dull • Whom they cannot instruct other countries to gull. In short they can teach each political trick, And make an American rival OLD NICK.. In London I did nut for Heraldry run, As that is a subject ,our countrymen shun— Yet I thought, to discourage all family pride, ''l'w•uuld be right a lei' legal records tv prov4te, Just to let some folks know, if they purse-proud appear, Who their Ancestors were, and why first tilty came here. 'Tis long since I thought %were a national ill, That my books should remain privrcrte property still ; And hence I ftsolvid, when I'm csll'd to the worms, That Congress should purchase them on their own terms. But the loss we sustain'd, though above sordid pelf, Now tempts me to manage the matter myself. My time is but short, and I can't hope, indeed, Much more will be left me, at my age, to.read Besides, if I suffer'd the moment to pass, I well might be deent'd an improvident ass. 1 therefore apply, Sir, to you as my friend, The offer to make—l'll . a Catalogue send— They are chiefly well-bound, in the neatest condition, Souse are elegant quite, of the choicest Edition. I l'hi'ihsophq, Polities,. most had in view, But as to Religion, I _know there. are few. • Tu value theist Congress may chnse whom they please, They may pay by instalments, and quite at their ease, Or, by ❑o means to give our finances a shock, By a portion of late loan, or in stock.— I should wistrtill /ny death„ *few books they would spare, Shoutil a reading mood come, but I'll take proper care, That then *hat the Catalogue states, great and small, Shall be render'd, without .ally gafbliteg• at all. "l'would be rather more gen'rous to give them, I know, But Habit'has furtn'd thi, to take, out bestow; • . Resides Lining so would appear like parade, Unfit for a people whose bias is :mfr. I must add that 'ti; long since my books Ilook'd o'er— A few•may be ini;sing, perchance, but nut inure. There are noue that the Congress to take tan demur, I.3ut many to which they might aptly refer. Whether Congress shall buy them or Hilt, my desire Ic always to keep the Collection , entive. I'm engag'd now in making an Index of tames, That at of the Authors may have their due claims. And Bence-the first honours those works shoUld obtain That America owes to tier tam'd Tisom To drive a good bargain I now leave to you, -• ' So IigALTH and FRATERNITY, dear Sir, adieu. • (Signed)- T.

New Printing Machine.—Withont aiming to de tract, in the slightest degree, from the merit of those who have lately brought forward this ad mirable invention in London and at Norwich, it being very possible that two or more persons may unconsciously devise a similar plan, we feel it due to the town of Plymouth, to state, that one of its n , a Gentleman of considerable-scientific attainments, discovered a machine of are same a es kind about ten years since, which has been, and still is, used by a tradesman in the town for print ing his bills. Fifteen hundred of these are worked oif with case in au hour ; and the machine re quires clothing more than the application of greater powers, to elifect all performed by the invention before alluded to.-,-(Plymouth.)

The Ann has also reached that station ; it is.a Government transport, and has brought horses for the sm peror. The floating ice is in considerabfequan titles, and very strong about the Mole Head ; here it 'has quite disappeared as well as the snows. Uur•Exchange is at 11 7-eigths. On /friday, we hastily and without reflexion on' the general accuracy of that paper copied from the Morning Chronicle, a paragraph stating, that the •` Marquis De FACHIALE, Ambassador for Por tugal at this Court, was ordered to Rio Janeiro, and was to be sacceedpd by his nephew Count PALONELA." , We are obliged to a Morning Paper for setting us right in this respect, which it does in the following words :7.- . . " This valuable in form: tt i which the ilforzeinp Chroni c l e ostentatiously places in large letters in the front oeits leading article,•must be intended for the Y'oreign correspondents of whom it boasti. We in England know perfectly well that there are no such men alive as either the Marquis De FoN , . CIIIALE or the Count PALONELa. The Count-De FuNclutt, indeed, is, as he has been for a great utsinber of years ? the Portuguese Minister at this Court ; and more than a year and a half ago, the Count PA tmEt..‘ arrived in Englaud to replace the Count of FtticuAt, who was named Prime Minister at his own Court :t but thb turn which about that time began to take place in Continental prospects; induced, we understand, M. De Funebal to expect the return of his Court' to Europe. and he in consequence has not resigned his mission in Env.- land. But all this transaction is more than a /term old;' and .the Chronicle, we see, continues to deserve its aid reputeith,„ of being as early in its intelligence of facts as lt is accurate and well-informed of details." Many parts of Germany, particulary Hanover, are so much infested with robbers, that it has been found necessary to send out detachmemts of military to patrole the great roads, and assign an escort of troops to the bearers of dipatehes. An Officer who belonged to the Confiance, in the' action on Lake Champlain, says that Captain DowNIE was ,killedhetore the Confiance had fired her first broadside, by a 42-pound shot passing close to him, at the lower end of the abdomen; he fell dead, without even a sigh being beard - front him. Them was not the slightest appearance of his having received any injury. ROBBER AND ATTEMPT AT MU RDhit.—Ohl Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, as Mr. Natlr, Crossland, Sutton -street, Clerkenwell, was coin ing down Highgate• bill, he heard most distressing cries ; it was a very dark and rainy night ) he followed the cries to a lane leading to a firm, up which he went about 20 yards, where he found a man lying on the ground apparently in a very dis tressed state; he asked him several questions as to the cause of his lying there, and of his cries. It was some time before he could obtain an an swer that he could understand, but at length. learned, that he had b, en robbed and wounded, and left in that helpless state; when just as he was about to raise the man up, and give him as sistance, a man rushed out from behind a hedge, knocked him down with a • bludgeon upon the man on the ground, who instantly got up, and nu doubt had been lying there voluntarily, and making a noise to excite the attention of passen. gets. They stopped his mouth with a woollen cloth, and held him down while they robbed hint of Bank nbtes to the amount of 131. a watch, anti other property. They then endeavoured to mur , . der him by cutting his throat with a knife ; but Mr. Crossland struggled hard, and having a very thick neckcloth, they were prevented from effect ing their bloody purpose. He tried to wrest the knife from the robbers, and eventually succeeded, but not without cutting his right hand dreadfully the villains then escaped. Mr. Crossland return ed to the public road, anti found the patrole within about thirty yards from the spot Arbere the daring act had taken place, who denied having heard him call patrole or murder, and he made n u attempt to pursue the robbers. Mr. Crosaland, procured assistance, and was conducted back to Highgate, when he was supposed to be in a dyi ng state, frog his throat having been cut, and the profusion of blood that had flowed ; but on Mr. Wetherell, a surgeon, being called in, he found it unnecessary to sew up the wound, as the wind pipe had not been completely separated. Mr. Crossland is now in a fair way of doing well,
