BRIEF SUMMARYo( Foreign News,
received at Boston ;—New measures were
about to be adopted in Holland, to prevent
commerç ai intercourse with England ; the
French frigate Cannonier is taken, with a
cargo of immense value on board; Bona
parte is actually to be married to the sister
of the Emperor of Russia ; Sourcojf, the
celebrated fortunate privateersman, has
sailed, in a frigate of his own,from St. Ala
loes, for the East-Indies ; the expedition to
the Scheldt is undergoing an investigation
by order of the government; Lord Mel
ville is said to have joined th& Opposition ;
the John Adams arrived safe at Amster
dam, where she landed her money) receiv
ed her dispatches, and sailed again as soon
as possible for England, where she barely
touched, and proceeded for tlie U. S.—the
Duke of Kent Packet, has arrived in 24
days from N. York ; according to a report
presented to Parliament, the British Ex
mi)li
ports during the j ear 1808, were
ons, and 1809 thirty nine millions ; in Par
liament, Feb. 8th, papers were called for
»lift
respecting the late négociation vvt
mer
ica, and granted ; at the levee, on the same
day the American minister was present ;
his name was mentioned the first of six oth
ers in the London papers ; a messenger ar
rived in England on the 11th Feb with dis
patches for Mr. Pinkney ; in the Court ol
Admiralty the ship Eutaw, Graut, has been
condemned ; and the case of the Betsey,
Fitder.orderedto lie over for further proof.
A Utter from Lisbon, dated Feb. 17, re
ceived in Philadelphia, mentions that the
British minister at Lisbon had been super
ceded ; and that he left that port on the lGth
Feb. fur England, from whence he was to
proceed in a diplomatic character to the
IJ. Stales.
Robbery and Murder .—The body of a
Mr. Alexander Erskitte, was lately taken
»nt of the Appomattox, at Petergbugh, Va.
'The jury were of pinion, that the deceased
had been beaten, robbed, and thrown
into
the river, by some unknown hand.
ELEGANT EXTRACT.—A nervous wri
t'r in an (ultliffs to the republicans of Rhode
Eland, thus pathetically and elegantly describes
the past and recent conduct of G. Britain to
'V.iliib us.
" Alin! lime lus nnl vet tk-iwdislied Ihe fortifi
cations with which the English roughenrcl the
country to enslave you-—nor those the Americans
rained for their defence ; their irilf-roundcd sum
mits still appear ill every quartrr, amidst plains—
on the top« of mountains. The traveller need
not search for the ditch which served t > encom
pass them; it is still open under his feet. Scat
tered ruins of houses laid waste, which the fire
had partly respected, in order to leave monu
ments of British fury, are still to be found.—
Men still exist, who can say, here a ferocious
Englishman slaughtered my father—there my
wife tore my bleeding daughter from the hands
of an unbridled Englishman. Alas ! the sul
diers, who fell under the swords of the Britons,
are not yet reduced to dust—the laborer, in turn
ing up his fields, still draws from the bosom of
the earth, their whitened bones—while the
ploughman, with tears of sorrow and anguish,
still recollects, that his fi*!d, now covered with
rich harvest, has been moistened with American
blood."
" Clrtr territorial jurisdiction has been viola
ted— the hospitality of our ports and harbours,
abused—our cifxens murdered, whilst in the
peaceable pursuit of domestic concerns—our na
tional Hag insulted—the blood of our seamen
wantonly shed, and :hc perpetrators of those
horrible acts, have been secured anil protected
from punishment, by mock tr ials, or in noun in
stance*, by an exemption from trial; and, as a
farther reward for sin li deeds, have enjoyed the
smiles, anil received PROMOTION from that
very GOVERNMENT, under wlin«r- AU
THORITY they acted, while it hypocritically
prepared to disavow the deed."
Massachusetts Election .—So far as we can judge
from the Boston papers received by yesterday's marl,
the result of this important trial of principle, will
meet the most sanguine hopes of true republicanism.

of the emperor would not hesitite to inflict this dis
ease, especially when their master, like Macbeth, is
" so far crept in blood, that to recede is worse titan to

Of the olJ king anti queen nf Spain, the foreign
papers have, fur a long time been silent. Perhaps a
quietus lias been kindly administered to them ,- and they
now rest, notwithstanding their royalty, "where the
rude forefathers of the hamlet lay." What a lesson
for regal pride—fur earthly dignity ! " 1 tell thee tvha:
Horatio, a man may fish with a •worm, that hath fed
on a ling ; and eat of the fish that was caught with
that worm."
Royal protest !—Louis XVIII, from his retirement
in Buckinghamshire« England, has " as a king pro
tested against the violence offered to the sacred person
of Gustavus IV. of Sweden, because this outrage is a
fresh application of principles destructive of all au
thority, subversive of all social order." Ir ir. a charm
ing thing to he a monarch, even in idea. There are
many kings in Bedlam who has as much real power,
and a great deal more ideal greatness than Louis 18
can rationally exercise.
