the ship Whampos, arrived March 38 from
Nqw-York, and taken possession of by 3
\ French boats, which, with others, were
stationed in the Texel for that purpose,
« and no vessel escapes them. The Dutch
government would,.if they could, order off
all vessels before they are nabbed by the
French.—The British vessels were numer
ous and vigilant off the Tfxel. The king
of HoNand bad not returned, but was ex
pected after the marriage of the French
Emperour; on his return, the Dutch were
in hopes there would be seme relaxation in
commercial affairs.

I * “Our decrees prohibiting the admission
) y of American vessels, remain in full force.
On the other hand our outlets continue in
fested with French priviteers that capture
every vessel they can lay hold of. We have
noticed the nomination of a new French
Ambassadour to the United States ; which
chews a disposition to maintain a good un
derstanding with yoqr government. Eng
i fcftd is equally disposed, and it were to be
desited »otb panics rescind their orders

' Wore, exists no more,—-Very rigorous mea
mpres are in operation forthat purpose.—
QcrClng is at Paris; but will be back in II
kjp ta <* "«tt month - The country is
to mahstyin its independence and an acces
skm of territory will be the consequence.—
Our market had tag been under the influ
ence of a sensible calm; there is still very
.. * little doing. Prices of most articles are
merely nominal, for-want of demand.—lf
tbs exportation to Germany and France
■was permitted, a great rise would inime
£ diately follow.**
We are indebted to the politeness of a
* friend, for the following translation of the
Mew Berlin decree, issued 13th March, by
bls Prussian Majesty.
• ‘ This singular state paper exhibits in the
most glowing colours the degradation of
continental Europe; and speaks in a lan
guage too plain to be misunderstood, the
fete which inevitably must await the friends
and allies of his Imperial Majesty.—Ameri

effects of its alliance with the man who now
rules the destinies of the Eastern hemis

between what is declared to be for horn,

*. Dow »« Berlin, 13th March, 1810.
In a great number of towns, meetings
.have been called for the choice of Repre
sentatives, next week. From the exertions
making. It is probable the next House of
Representatives will consist of the largest
number ever assembled in a deliberate
body, excepting the National Assembly of
France.
A Baltimore democratick paper makes
the following remark on the new nuptials
of Bonaparte“ The celebrated Marig
Theresa, the mortal enemy of France,
never exulted more than when she bestow
ed the band of her daughter Maria An
toinette on Lolls XVI. Can that union be
portentous of the fate of the one about to
take place 7*
A number of American citizens hrtetest
ed in the late commercial * Events in the
North of Europe, have passed resolutions
approbatory of the conduct of Mr, Consul
Forbes, respecting those events ; and have
requested his further interposition in Den
mark. He has complied with the request,
and in a circular, dated Copenhagen, Janu
ary 18th, 1810, announces, that ordem had
been given to raise the arrests on Ameri
can property at Tonningen, Gluckstadt,
tec. and that his Danish Majesty had pro
mised to re-establish tee buoys in the Eyder.
Mr. Forbes adds,* ’• Every circumstance
shews that throughout Europe our com
merce will be reduced to the Carrying and
vending our own products.”
Extract <f a letter from the Captain qf a
Boston ship, dated Cadiz, March
“We . have experienced a very
storm here, and nearly every vessel has
received more or less damage. My ship
fortunately escaped with very little injury.
In the height of the gale Captain Linser,
of the ship Triumph, of 74 guns, afforded
me every assistance In his power, and of
fered me cables and anchors. He sent
men to assist me In rendering the ship as
snog as possible, the better to endure the
storm. I received the aid with great plea
sure, and consider the conduct very friend

It is believed that Congress have never
given more tefoflHMitisfaction to their con-
Stituems, done by breaking
up their lafipMlttta. After their pomp and
bluster, antepawMe, which they manifested
in the ft Mr. Giles, their poor
old miserable non intercourse act to re
pealed,.and dies the death of other follies.
This to' what our democrats call a manly
and independent attitude, right valiantly to
clench the fist, threaten to take an oppo
nent by the nose, and then deliberately to
march off from the field of battle, and do
nothing. If this is dignity, what term shall
we search for in the Dictionary, to express
degl-a&ation C Some of our democratick
Editors have the honesty to confess them
selves ashamed of their own Representa
tives.
i On Sunday morning last, between the
hours of eleven and twelve, the following
mCtthcholy and tragick facts occurred iu
this town. A person by the name of Da
vid Nilks, master uf a schooner that
lately arrived in this port, from New-Or
leans, who declares himself to be a native
of Hebron, (Cott.) committed a most out
rageous assault upon two respectable wi
dow women, < this town, by the names of
ACfNci* and Me ar Weistt.—
He went into the house in which these two
women resided, and after expressing some
apprehensions of being murdered, or poi
soned, Without any kind of provocation, at
tacked Mrs. Thayer with an andiron, with
which he cut, mangled and bruised her
head in a most shocking manner, and when
Mrs. Walsb, alarmeAby the cries of Mrs.
Thayer, came from an adjoining room to
her assistance, he attacked her with the
same weapon so violently, teat he horribly
fractured her skull, and actually beat out
a part of her brains. After perpetrating
this horrible butchery, and placing the
women upon beds in separate apartments,
he deliberately walked into tee street, and
requested the first person he met to go with’
him into the house, where he found the two
unhappy women weltering in their blood.
An alarm was immediately given, and
Capt. Mlee taken and co remitted to prison,
ihwve to await his trial, which wilt take
place in September next. He evinced
strong symptoms of mental derangement
both before and after perpetrating the hor
rid deed. There is some probability of the
recovery of Mrs. TAayer—but of Mrs.
Wahh Acre can be no hope.

Extract of a letter from a mercantile
gentleman in Antwerp, to another in
Philadelphia, dated “ Antwerp, March
23, 1810.
“ The Emperour has ordered all the
American cargoes detained at St. Sebas
tians, and other ports of Spain, to be trans
ported to Bayonne to be sold, and the pro
ceeds placed in his private treasury.—
Similar measures, it to apprehended, will
be taken in Italy with respect to American
property detained there, and 1 fear it will
in the end be extended to the unfortunate
cargoes detained here. In the Danish ports
1 understand, they have also ceased to re
lease American property. The prospect
before us is gloomy, and we cannot Jook for
any favourable decision, until it is known
how affairs will be settled .in your quartef.
I fear nothing short of your quarrelling
with England will induce the Emperour to
release tea American property detained
here.”
