[ fyere the means entrufled to ordinary handi; for ,
the trial, and in the dying moments of many of the
I insurgents, a spirit of boldness has appeared, that

Extras of a'tetter from Dublin, Sept, to, to a gen
-1 tieman in this town.
U The war which has lately taken place,is like
ly to be a desperate one ; already have the dis
h abetted here, emboldened by that event, broken
out intoamoft daring and unexpected infurredion
in this city, which has, however, been most pro
videntially defeated; & many of those concerned,
have already- paid the forfeit of their lives. This
attempt, though alarming at the time, will, I
trust, add to our future security, as every poffi
tyle means of precaution and defence have been
Mince pursued by Government with the utmost
II energy ; the citizens are generally enrolling
themselves in the militia, and instead of business
k (now totally at a (land) are busily employed in
Li the bustle of military equipment and exercises.
"The fame disposition has been manifefled pretty
generally in the country,and in case of the threat-
I ' ened invasion taking effect on our shores, I have
I to' doubt but the country would be defended
B whirzeal by all the people of reipeaabihty of
| every religious peffuafion—Cur present fituatiort
Lx and profpe&s are indeed serious, and the ensuing
winter likely to be a period of anxiety, and per
haps of difficulty, but 1 am inclined to vieiw it
without any dismay as to the issue, and to trust
that with the blessing oftheAlmighty we shall be
fafely carried through whatever perils may await
us.” f - o— —
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated Aug. Xfr
“ The Emperor of Morocco is firing out ail his
boats and (hips of war, ofcnfibly to cruize against
die Genoese and Imperialists, but in reality (I am
much inclined to think) to seek reparation for the
I capture of one of their vefasby the United States
frigate Adams, in an attempt tn enter Tripoli. In
this Bay there areat prefenr two of the Emperor's
, ~ ,) gullies; and a (hip of war of 20 gnosis cruizing
behind the Rock. Our (hips of war are lying in
Malta, doing little or nothing. I hope the new
Commodore, who is coming out, will manage tbele
matters differently."
Q/
Brower taken.
Benjamin Brower, who lately robbed the Manhat
tan Bank, io Newyork, of a very considerable sum of mo
ney, was taken in thiflown.on Friday evening last, and af
ter an examination, ahj the difeovery of between 7 and
8000 dollars which had been concealed about his cloaths,
eonfeffed the fad. He took passage, a few weeks fince,'
l - from Newburyport for Paffamaquaddy, where he arrived;
but from whence he returned to this place in a vessel, com
branded by captain Pulfifer, of Newburyport. It is to the
g vigilance of this gentleman, with the aid of some others,
■ ?i that he was detected and committed. The reward for
■ „ taking Brower is 500 dollars, and teh per cent of all the
■ money recovered.

Yesterday at about 5 O'clock, P. M. the Sen-'
r ate ratified the Louisiana Treaty—Twenty-four
were in the affirmative, and Seven in the negative.
There were Eight Federal Senators present ; but
Mr. Dayton, of New-Jerfey,voted in the affirmative.
The Treaty as advised to be ratified by the Sen
ate, and which we have no doubt will in a fliort
time receive the final ratification and promulgation
, by the Prefidentof the United States, is as follows.
[The fubflance of the Treaty and the two Conventions
which fellow it, have already been laid before the public.
The colony of Louisiana, as ceded by Spain so France,
is ceded by France to the United States. For this
cefion the United Stages fipulate to pay to France
“SiXTY MILLIONS of Francs, independent 0, the
sum which fall be fixed by ano her convention for the
payment of the debts due by France to citizens of the
United States." To pay this sum, the United .States
are to create a flock of ELEVEN MILLIONS, TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOL
-.LARS, bearing an interest of fa per cent, payable in
)' London. Amsterdam or Paris. The debts provided
for, and which the United flares are to pay, are efftma
ted to amount to twenty millions of Francs. The Treaty
and Convention will be given entire in our next ]
VERY IMPORTANT.
FROM CADIZ, Aug. 17. "When I wrote
you last, the war with England was expected every
moment. —Now we are given to understand, we
are on the eve of bofiiliy with France. This sud
den change in the politics of our court, arises from
the conduA of Buonaparte towards Spain in the
sale of Louisiana to the United States. It appears
the cession of that province by Spain to France
was u^der certain conditions, many of wlrch have
not been fulfilled, and others glaringly violated.
R ^ person of good iefurmatioo has assured me that
Temonftrances have been made to the First Consul
Upon this bead, with a vigor and energy that was
not to be expeaed from a government generally sap.
posed fubfervieot to the will of France. And sim
ilar reorientations are to be made by our ministers
in the United fl^ts to y^ur government, as it is in
-4 lifted, that by the non fuWment ^n the part of
France of the conditions on which (he uas to have
Louisiana, (Be has thither the right to pofftfs it her
felf, nor to fell it to the Uoi^dtiaes. This revo
lotion in the European affairs may produce the
most important c°nfeqfences. Conjecture is a
float about the destination of the (mall fleet arming '
here, of fix seventy- fours and,eight frigates ; but
I the general opinion is that the. Havana will be i's
' ' definition, with the'view of blockading the Mis
sissippi, to case your government ratifies tile treaty
Wwith France. The militia of all this kingdom is
lin motion. It is foppofed the king will makea
.general review at Valladolid. The nature of the
other military preparations evidently mows thatthey
are directed against France. It is the general opin
ion that Great Britain will second the efforts of
Spain for preventing Louisiana encreafing the al
ready too extendve territory of the United flutes &
that Spain in return has pledged herfelf for the
defence' of Portugal against France. Time will
Grow what will be the relult of this. But, depend
Upon it, that some great events are brewing upon
the continent of Europe."

fonablc part thereof, in their refpeaive places of public
worfn, —That de may unitedly call to mind the manifold
favors bellowed upon us, Ihd with sincerity of heart, ac
knowledge the loving kindness of our Divine Benefactor ;
and while each individual, believing in the fuperintend
ance of Divine Providence over the affairs of men, may
find great cause of thankfuloefs for particular mercies re
ceived, let it be remembered, that States and Nations are
dependent upon the fame Almighty hand for the blessings
they enjoy—let us also call to mind the many privileges
refyeding Civil and Religious Liberty, with which we
are diflinguifhed—with gratitude acknowledge them, —
and devoutly pray for their continuance.
Let us be thankful for the measure of Health so gene
rally enjoyed throughout this State—for a bountiful supply
of the Fruits of the Field, and for shat prosperity which
has so universally attended the labor if our hands.—But
above all, let us be thankful for a continuance of the blef
fiuge of the Gospel of Peace, the means of Grace, and
hopes of future happiness.—And while with grateful
hearts we contemplate the loving kindness of the Lord,
may we possess a proper sense of out unworthinef^, ac
knowledge our transgressions, and pray for Divine guid
ance and direction —
That it would please Almighty God to keep the Gov
ernments of the several States, and that of our Nation,
under his holy proteaion —That he would be graciously
pleased to dire& and govern all in authority—that they
-mafatedfaQ!, pwfor fitch measure, ~ shall promote the
, peace, liberty, and lasting happiness of our common coun

countableness, not only to man, but to the Lord of the U
niverse—That mortal diseases, with which some of our'
towns have been afflided, may be flopped, and health re
stored—That in all the public tranfa&ions of the people
they may have wisdom to discern and integrity to pursue
such measures as shall be most conducive to the general
welfare—
That it would please our Divine Benefactor to bestow
his blessing on the means of religious intrusion —that
public teachers may understand, and rightly divide the
words' of truth, and be eminent examples of that charity,
which is exhibited in the gospel.
That our seminaries of learning may be under his gui

may be more and more increased.
That it would please God to bless this State, direct all

The Oracle.
TUESDAY, November I.
FC)REIGN
By the politeness of a gentleman dire& from Liverpool,
we have received English papers from the 2d to the rath
of September, incluGve. After a very careful investigation
of their contents, they scarcely furnifh one single article,
that is worth extracting for the gratification of our Patrons.
The far greater part, of their immensely large and croud
ed columns,are tilled with accounts,of volunteer associations,
in all parts of the the united Kingdom, for the immediate
defence of the Imperial Realm. These are followed by
lengthy derails of daily reviews, at which, either his Ma
jesty, io person, or some of the Royal family, condefeended
to be prefect. The efforts of Gallic Ambition, are hardly
mentioned, except in drain' of ludicrous irony: and puna
of every species are played off, as the flying artillery of the
press, against the Corsican despot, Patrtotifm and zeal
have effected wonders. The fulleft corps of volunteers are
disbanding from 12,00 effectives, to .750 rank and file; —
Several bodies of cavalry arid infantry, have been informed,
that their services, at present, can be dispensed with ; and
the levy of the nation en maffe, is.totally laid aside, as there
are more regulars, militia, and volunteers embodied, than
can possibly be needed for the Safeguard of the kingdom.
Amid the din of arms, and the bustle of military life, plea
sure, frolic, and fashionable amusements have taken their fef
tive Hands, and we read of elegant breakfafts, Sumptuous
dinners and expensive Suppers, ac all the palaces of the mo
bility and gentry, for fifty miles round. A Stranger to the
real State of things, would suppose, that the age of chivalry
had been revived, to amuse public taste, and deem it im
possible, that one serious thought of invasion, offered either
the heart or the head of a Solitary individual. It is said, th*
the Sagacious Mr. Pitt, long since presided that Buona
parte, had no real deign of paying a vific to England;
and in the truth of the prophetic lore, of the ex minister,
the nation seems to be confirmed, as addresses are pouring
in, from all quarters, on the First Confal, beseeching him,
not to rifque bh fared person on English ground: but it
ought to be remembered that these addresses, were proba
bly penned at St. Clouds, as the mandate of Portalie, de
signating the religious honors, that were co be paid, at the
Consul's m^, on any of the capital cities, of his dominion.
T^°.o°'° '"' '' intended aa, piece of fineffe, ta lullthe
into fatal security-; and at a moment, the least ex
peCled, he may possibly make the daring attempt. That
Bonaparte deems the expedition extremely hazardous; that
he thinks that neither himfeff, nor his legions may return,
is very probable; but he has pledged bimtelf, to ail Rance ;
he has committed his fame to all Europe, that he will at
least, make the effort—and so sure as he abandons the pro
jea, at this, or any future period without attempting to
, cross from Calais to Dover; his glory is completely ac an
iend ; and the Hero of Marengo, will (hrink back, into his
I primitive infignificance. His very ex ftence on ite,hrone
, of the Bourbons, depends on the measure: and he is coo
Iwell assured of it, to decline the experiment.

A case oFtrismuts or lock jaw, was lately
cured at the Finfby D^peofary by opiate friaina—
for three weeks, an ounce was daily forced into
his frame by this mode of cutaneous application. A
chorea, or st virus's dance, was alto curel by
steel pills, in which were mixed one grain and a
half of lerrvitriolj and two of myrrh, given to the
patient in doles of three each, every- fix hours.

their capacity and diligence, to the most celebrated Ger
