..Itrans Veisels belonging to Citizens of the United, and their cargoes, being the bona fide pro perty of American Citizens, not contraband of war, and not proceeding to places besieged or blockaded, under the pretext of their being engaged in time of War, in a Trade with her Enemies, which was not allowed in time of Peace; " And whereas the Government of the United States has repeatedly remonstrated to the British Go , yerninent against these injuries, aild demanded satisfaEtion therefore, but without effe& " Therefore resolved, That until equitable and satisfadory arrangements on, these points shall be made between the two Governments, it is expedi ent, that from and after the day of next, no goods or merchandize rd' the growth, pro: dug, or ►nanufa9ure of Great Britain, or of any of the 'Colonies or Dependencies thereof, ought to he lci-ted into the United States. Provided, however, That whenever arrange- Ments, deemed satisfaaory by the President of the United States, shall take place, it shall be lawful for him, by proclamation, to fix a . day on which the prohibition aforesaid shall cease." We have made some interesting Extracts from these Papers, respe&ing the Insurreetion in Trini dad, which is stated to have been completely sup• pressed ; but they add, that some Disturbances had lir ok en out la Tobago. Lord HENRY PETTY, in the House of Commons last night, moved for leave to bring in a Bill in or der to establish a better regulation of the Office of Ordnance. The Noble Lord signified, that his ob-' jeft in proposing this measure was, to give the Pub lic full security that their money was duly admi-• ristereci, by making it a Legislative provision that the balances in the hand of the Treasurer should be placed in the Bank of England. The Board of Ord nance had, indeed, passed an order to that effeEt ; but, in the opinion of the Noble Lord, the A& of a Board was not a sufficient security for the Public, and it was proper that money voted for particular purposes should be applied to no other. The No ble Lord added, that it was his intention to extend the principle of this measure, and to move for leave to bring in Bills for the establishing of similar Regu lations in the Post-office, the Excise-office, the Custom-house, &c. Mr. LONG expressed mush satisfa&ion at this intended measure of his Lordship, and gave the Noble Lord great praise for having proposed it. He observed, that the late head of the Ordnance Board (the Earl of CHATHAI4) had re solved on adopting a similar plan, but had waited for official returns, in order to render the measure more effectual. Mr. LONG declared his hope that the principle would be properly extended and maintained respeaing all public money, in its passage to and from the Exchequer. He was fully of opinion that it would be highly expedient that the balances should be deposited in the Bank of England.— Lord HENRY PETTY'S Motion was then agreed to. A Report has been circulated upon the autho rity of Letters from Falmouth and Plymouth, of the loss of the Drpn, of 74 guns, and the Latona gate, on the Coast of France. We have strong rea ;on to hope that the report is unfounded : we re ceived this morning Letters from Falmouth,which are perfedly silent upon this subjeet, and no intelligence of any such event has reached the Admiralty. LAsT night we received Datch, Papers to the 24th inst. and some of the smaller Paris Papers, but not of later dates than we had before. A Messenger was yesterday sent from the Admi ralty, soon after the arrival of the news of the cap ture of the Cape of Good Hope, to the Ministers at the two Houses of Parliament. , HER MAJESTY, being recovered from her cold, took an airing yesterday morning, in a carriage and four, by Englefield Green, accompanied by PRIN CESSES ELIZABETH and MARY. PRINCESSES AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, accompanied by General MANNERS, Count MUNSTER, and Col. 'TAYLOR, took an airing on horseback in Windsor Park. HIS MAJESTY dined at Frogmore on Wednesday. Yesterday a General Court was held at the East India House, for the purpose of taking into consider ation a Resolution of the Court of Dire&ors, expres sive of the high sense they entertained of the distin guished services of the late Marquis CORNwALus, and recommending to the Court to vote the amount of a year and a half's salary of the late Governor- General to the present Marquis. Mr. JACKSON rose, and after a Speech of near an hour, moved the , confirmation of the Resolution of the Court of Direetors ; which was seconded by Mr. Locx. An Amendnient was moved by Sir Wm. BURROUGHS, which occasioned some debate; when Mr. ,BOSANC.UET suggested that the Motion for vot ing the Company's cash had not been sufficiently ex pressed in the Advertisement, and therefore did not accord with the Company's , Bye-Law.—The Court were therefore obliged to adjourn without coming to any decision. The principal Speakers were the Chairman (Mr. GRANT), Messrs. R. JACY.SON,' Mr. JOHNSTON, Mr. R. THORNTON, Mr. BOSA.NQUET, Mr. TWINING, and Sir. Wm. BURROUGHS, the Hon. Mr. ELF/11N STONE, and Col. SYMES. Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR dined with the Duke of NVONSIIIRE. Yesterday morning the nor.E o f CAMBRIDGE ar• rived in town from Windsor. AMERICA. NEw - YORX, 27.—1 n the Legislattne of Pennsylvania, the 23d instant, a Bill was passedfOr removing the seat of Government to 14arrisburgh, and, 50,000 dollars appropriated for the purpose of building the necessary offices, &c. previous to the year 1808. A Writer in the Washington Fecleralist of the 22d inst. speaking of General AR'ts•raorc, says, " though we are not informed whether the Minister has been recalled, yet we can venture to inform the Public that .Government have dire&ed that Gentle man to unsay much of what he has been too liberal in saying to the French Government." JAN. 28.—The Marquis DE CASA YRUJO ad dressed a Note, dated the gth ult. to the Secretary of State, on the subje& of the existing differences be tween this Country and Spain, containing animad versions.on such parts of the President's Message as had a reference to these differences. This Note the Marquis expe&ed would be published ; but, to use his own words, " after waiting for more than forty days in expe&ation of this a& of justice, he found he had waited in vain ;" and therefore, on the 21st curt. he addressed a Card to the different Foreign Ministers accredited to our Government, with a copy of the Note, authorising them to give publicity to both. From the tenor of the Note, it does not seem probable that the differences between the two Powers wid be easily adjusted. JAN. 29.--. Captain [lA:wry has brought a file of the Political an 4 Conzaicre;al Gazette of Hayti to the i Bth December. In one of them is a Decree of the Emperor, of the 24th November, prohibiting the importation of Salt, in Foreign Vessels, under pe nalty of confiscation. A few days before Capt. HARVEY sailed, intelli gence reached Cape Francois, that three Italian Ves sels, two Ships and a Brig, which , had sailed from Italy for Carthagcna, on the Spanish Main, having, in the' expeaation of making a great voyage, entered the port of Aux Cayes, the crews were immediately arrested,-by order of DESS'ALINES, and thrown into prison; they were afterwards tried, condemned, and . all of them executed, on the ground thit Botia ?..lßTE, being the King of Italy, was their Sovereign, and they must consequently suffer as his subjects.— (Char/. Courier.) NEW-YORK, JAN. 30.—Arrived at Savannah the I ith inst. Schooner Jos-eph, Capt. CONN, from Cape Francois, via New Providence, 4days from the iat ter. Capt. CONN was taken by five English Men of W:ir, was carried into New Providence ; after a detenti.)ii of 15 days, was permitted to depart on paying 700 dollars cost of Court. Capt. Corm corroborates the account under the " Nassau head : He says that he saw at. Nassau C.l,pt. RILEY, diret from Teheritfe, which 'place. he left about the 7th December, v..-no informed him th:it the Rochefort Squadron, un - ler the cola anand of Mons. Ls ALMAINE, consisting of five Sail of ate Line, two, Frigates, a Brig and Cutter, had put into Santa Cruz, in said Island,, to water, several days prior to his sailing, bringing with them the Calcutta Enllish 50 gun Ship, and six English ludia•merchant Ships, taken on their homeward-bound pas age; an em bargo was immediately laid. On the sth the SqUa dron again put' to sea ; on the 7th, the day which Capt-RILEY sailed, he fell in with the Squadron then in sight of Teneriffe, and saw then,- capturing the. outward-bound Cork Fleet, consisting of about 40 Sail, one of which, being a fast sailer, escaped ; spoke Capt. RILEY, and informed him, that it was probable the most of them would fall into the hands of the - French. Fta. 4.—Capt. LEWIS, arrived at Baltimore from Trinidad, informs that the attempt of an Insurrec tion among the Blacks was nearly quelled; three of the principal Negroes engaged in it had been appre hended and hung. Martial Law was to have been taken off a few days after. Accounts had reached Trinidad that there bad been an Insurrection among the Blacks at Tobago. A Letter from Aux-Cayes, dated December 27, says, " The Negroes in this neighbourhood aro iu a state of revolt, and have possession cf a Fort about ten miles distance. The Troops are beating to arms. The ground of complaint is, that the Government exaet too great a proportion' of the produce." It is pretty generally known in the City, that the. Leander, which cleared out 8 or 10 days since for Jacqueinel, was not in reality. bound for Hayti.--, Having taken on board a large quantity of Nave Stores, Artillery, and Ammunition,' a considerable number of Artisans, and several Military Charac ters, it was conceived by many that she was destined for some other quarter. From a cone& source we learn that she is bound for a Port in the Gulf of Mexico ; probaliy New Orleans. The Dons in that quarter, as well as elsewhere, arc very insolent. By the return of the Piloti a large bundle 'of let ters were- received from the persons on board the Leander, addressed to their friends, from which we learn, they were all in high spirits, perfectly sails. lied with their destination, which appears to be.. decidedly New Orleans. the great number of horse colleaed by the Marquis IlSrl Casx CALvo, on the frontiers of Louisiana, has occasioned a very lively sensation in that distria. It is conjeCtured that from the number of pikes shipped on board this Vessel, and others making at Springfield and at West Point, that our Troops will be new organized, and formed in three ranks, the first and . second of musquetry; and the third rank with pikes of fo feet, which when charged are a perfect` proteaion against Ca valry. NEW-YORK, FEB. 6.—A late Trinadad Paper contains the following particular Account of an at tempt by the Blacks : in that Island to rise in a body,' massacre the white and free coloured People, and burn the towns. EXTRACTS FROM THE MINUTES OF HIS MAJESTY'S COUNCIL, PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF HIS EXCEL LENCY AND THE BOARD. Trinidad, Courril Cbamlr, Dec. 20, 1805. The Clerk of the Council . is direEted by his Ex cellency the LieutenantLGovernor and Council, for the satisfaalion and information of the Public, to communicate through the public Newspapers, that on the will instant his Excellency laid before the Board some information he had received, which in duced them to think that a plan of the most san guinary nature was in agitation among the Negroes of the Colony, and, consequently, issued orders for the apprehension of several suspeeled Negroes, in the course of the evening of that day : aifd from the t ith inst. vaitil the 13th inst. the Lieutenant-Gover nor and Council,with the eXception of one day only, have been sitting to a late hour every day, for the pour-' pose'of examining into the plot. Yesterday the Lieut.- Governor and Council deemed it their duty (having ascertained that, es the superior Tribunal, they are the proper Court to take cognizance of matters of this sort) to, arrest themselves in the progress of their examinations, in order to proceed upon the trial. of those of whose guilt. there 'could not be the least doubt, and accordingly four were found "guilty of attempting to excite . an insurrection among the Negroes of this Colony." Upon one, for particular reasons, it has been advisable not yet to pass judg ment. Sampson, belonging to Madam ScrrnrsTat, Bhp-, List, and Carlos, belonging to CH 4RLES MEL VILLE, Esq. were sentenced to be hanged, their hbads severed from their bodies ; the latter to be • hung in cha i ns, and the heads stuck up; and they were yesterday executed accordingly. It was proved that Sampson was King of the Ma cacque it , .giment, Baptist King of the Cocorite Re-. g!rnent, and Codas a General in Chief of the latter. Vrom what has hillwrto transpired, it appears that the in::?rnai • project which was in agitation first emanated frc - ,!n the Carenage, and appears to have been corifnd to the Regiments bearing; the follow, itr; nam,:=.;, viz. Macacque, Sans-pew', Cocorite, and St, .( 7 3.-tore. That of the Sans-pour and St. George's Re invents there were two battalions, one of each at the Carenage, the. other in town ; the Macacque Regiment, was confined to the Carenage, the Coco _rite to the town and outskirts of it. . That the intention of the insurreaion was only known to their chiefs, they hai - ing constantly re fused admittance to Women and inferior C.). - ticers to their secret meetings, observing the die business which on such occasions occupied their deliberations was not a matter for women or boys. NASSAU, N. P. JANUARY 3. Extra 67 from the Journal kept by Captain of the Brig Eliza and Mary. - Sailed trom New-York on the i sth of Septem ber. and arrived at Teneriffe on the sth of Nov. where he . learnt the following intelligence :---That the Rochfort Squadron, consisting of five Sail of the Line, three Frigates, and two Brigs of War, with the Calcutta English fifty Gun Ship, and six French Merchant Ships, .prizes to the Squadron, hut ar rived at Santa Cruz on the 3d ult. which caused an Embargo to be laid on all Vessels dire&ly, \vhich was t.) continue while the Squadron was .in port. They had sunk several English Ships that had very valuable cargoes, on account of their bad sailing, not being able to keep up with the Squadron ; - hat they had uniformly burnt or sunk all neutral Vessels they fell in with at Sea, that were either bound to or along the Coasts of Europe, to prevent intelligence getting to the English Fleets ; that they had taken -out their Crews, and told them they must go with them to -France, and should be-paid by the Government the full amount, xvith damage,- &e. That among the Neutrals were the following Ame rican-Vessels :—Brig Minerva, SALTER, o`f New-York ; Brig Two Friends, FE w toK ,of Charlestown, with valuable cargoes, were both burnt ; Schooner Liti Boston ; and Schooner SARGEANT, of ditto. The number of Neutrals taken and destroyed_ by the Squadron amounted to 26 ; the -Captains of which, during the day, were allowed the liberty of going on shore ; but the same privileges were not extendect to their Ofiic,!rs or Crew: The Commander in Chief, Monsieur LE ALM I6WE , had taken all their papers, and given to each a certificate, stating, that lie had d..i. , stroyed their Vessels and Cargoes ; and they must apply to the Minister at Paris for a remuneration. The Bloomsbury and Inns of Court Volunteers had yesterday a grand muster; and. after having a Field day, they were inspe&ed by Colonel MARTIN, n iheSoundling Fields. The high wind of .yesterday blew down part of the legs and winos of the grasshopper attached to the weathercock on the.top of the Royal. Exchange. NA VA L NE tits. POIITSMOUTH, FEB. 97.—Arrired a Gun-brig - from the Cape of Good Hope, which brings the pleasing intelligence of the surrender of that place to the Arms of the British. Arrived also the Milan Frigate, Capt. LAW atE, from Halifax ; the Defender Brig from a Cruize ; and the Certerus Frigate, Captain SELBY, from Guernsey and Jersey. HARWICH, FEB. 57.--. The Viper Cutter, in the service of the Excise, Capt. ADAMS, a few days agd captured at sea a Lugsail Smuggler, with 480 half anker casks of Geneva and brandy, and lodged the same in the Excise warehouse at this place. Yesterday Capt. TURNER, of the Argus Custom house Cutter, lodged 9.5 half-anker casks of Geneva in the Custom-house warehouse, having seized their' at sea, thrown out of a Smuggling Cutter. The Auckland Packet, Capt. HAMOND, sailed yes terday afternoon, with a titir wind, for Cuxhaven, ithmediately on the arrival of the Hamburgh Bremen Mails from London ; at the same time the Adverture extra Packet sailed with a Mail for Got-. tenburgh. DEAL, FEB. 27.—Arrived the Prospero froth Portsmouth ; Illinerva from the Nore ; Weymouth from Ireland ; Oberon from off Havre ; Urgent, &incur, Acute, Monkey, and Desperate, from off Boulogne ; Dauntless, T;gress, and Basilisk, from off Calais. FALMOUTH, FEB. 25.—Arrived the Walsingharn. Packet, GRAY (a&ing), from Lisbon, in nine days; the Manchester Packet, DAVIES, from New-York, in nineteen days; and the Adventure, BARRON, from Bristol. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANKFORT, Fan. 14.—Besides the Imperial Life Guard, only a few detachments of the French Grand Army have passed the Rhine, and regained the French territory; on the other band, several Corps have passed over to the Right Bank from Mentz. A number of Conscripts also continue to arrive in Germany; for instance, voo of this description ar rived last week at Augsburgh. Austria and Bavaria may at present be completely evacuated, but our neighbourhood and Franconia are overwhelmed with French Troops. In the Distrid of Eichstadt alone there are 40,000, and as maintenance cannot there be had for them, we learn that Nuremberg, as well as Frankfort, will be called upon, for an unli mited time, to receive a numerous French garrison. For what purpose such an assemblage of Troops is intended, at a period when Prussia, Saxony, and Hesse Cassel, are reducing their's to the Peace Esta blishment, is not yet known. To hazard any pre mature conjecture, We think, would mat be prudent. Eight hundred and fifty Dalmatians, who came over from the Austrian to the French service, entered Mantua on the 21 st of January. FEB. IG.—The two millions of francs are paid to the General Cashier'of the French Army ; the last instalment of 200,000 livres was carried in this morning. Between '2 and 3000 French troops marth ' ed from here to Wisbaden the day before yester day ; but in the 'afternoon others arrived from Darmstadt ; so that our garrison is not much re duced. We, however, flatter ourselves, that we than obtain some redress at Paris. St. Catherine's Cloister is now fitted up for an hospital ; the sick At present amo , ltit to no more than 150. General DUPONT'S division is hi our neighbourhood upon the Maine ; other Troops, belonging to Marsh2l BnnaltnoTE's division, we learn, are on their march ; so that AUGCRAU'S Army will very shortly amount to 50,000 men, and will remain in Germany till every thing is settled. The rest of the French Corps ivarch towards ' Strasburgh, excepting those that are stationed in Eichstadt ; but fir what period of time we know not. • For the ensuing Fair we see no preparations, and we fear, that unless the French Troops are with drawn, the Fair will be of very little consequence. The Batavian Troops began their march home wards on the 11th. BORDERS OF THE MAINE, 1 7 E11. 11.-It is not be lieved that the approachin g Fair at Frankfort will he very brilliant, or that any English merchandize will be admitted. It is said that measures are taken to ekclude the admission of English goods into Ger many. STUTGARDT, FEE. 12.—Private letters from An spach infirm us, that very unpleasant apprehensions prevail in'the Prussian provinces in Franconia, re speEting the future fate of these countries. It is" known that Prussian-statesmen of great credit have adopted it as a principle, that the interest of the Ca-‘ binet of Berlin loudly calls for the sacrifice of the distant provinces, for the purpose of strengthening the heart of the kingdom, as in every future war in Germany, the difficulty of retaining and defending the former must be increased. Even the King's predile6tion for the fine country of Bayreuth, &c. it is said, has given way to these considerations.— (Gazette de France) This morning arrived a Mail from Lisbon, brought to Falmouth by the fraisinghant Packet ' in nine days passage. Also a Mail from New York and Halifax, brought to Falmouth by the Man chester Packet, in forty-nine days passage horn Married on Monday last, at All Saints, South ampton, by the Rev. a. MANT, ELLIS,, Esq. to-Miss CAROLINE HAMaR, of Cumberland- House, youn g est daughter of the late J OSEPH HA.. MER, Esq. of Demertra. MARLBOEOUGH-STREET.—Forgery on the Patriotic Institution.--A woman who stated her name to be Mary Gravin was charged with forging a marriage certificate and a register of two children, with intent to defraud the Patriotic Institution for the Relief of the WidoW - s and Orphans of those who fell in the service of their Country.—After evidence in support of the charge had been stated, she was remanded for another examination. i ' i L.
