orders be obeyed by all his tribunals,
Generals and Admirals, in the same
manner as his own; and that he he ad
dressed by the title of Most Serene
J/icf/iness.
i II is Most Serene Higness lately is
sued an order for the confiscation of all
English property, though it should be
found on board a neutral vessel, con
signed to Spanish subjects ; and also for
the confiscation of all property destined
to English ports. This order gives ef
fect, so iar as the power of Spain can o
perate, to the French decree of Novem
ber last.
Accounts from Madrid announce the
death oi his Most Serene Highness, bv
a kick from one of his horses.
After Turkey had declared war a
gainst Russia, and adopted vigorous
measures against England, the Russians
and English attacked and carried the
Dardanelles, beat the Turkish fleet, and
were proceeding for Co istantmople,
when terms of peace were agreed on.
Ry these, England is to keep possession
ot the Dardanelles until a general peace,
and the Russians are to keep possession
ot other Turkish fortresses, as a security
for the fidelity of the Porte. The im
mediate consequence of these events
was, the dissolution of the French influ
ence at Constantinople.
Official accounts state the capture of
Monte Viedo, on the morning of the 3d
of February, by assault, after a siege of
a few days, by the English. Upwards
of 2000 Spaniards, with the Ciovernor,
were made prisoners. 342 pieces of can
non fell into the hands of the victors.
120,000 stands of arms, with a pro
portionate quantity of ammunition, have
been sent to Mernel, by the English
government, to supply the Russian ar
my. Three battalions of foot guards
were also to be sent to th '•'mtinent, to
join the Russians.

LOGICA GENEVENSIS
“ It is said that Maryland and Virgi
** nia have acted liberally, bv demanding
“ no conditions. Maryland was repre
“ sented, and had her interests secured.
“ Virginia could not interfere with' f>ro
Vfricty, because Charlestown and IWieel
41 tng were equal to her. But her law
u exceeded the President’s request. It
41 authorised the road to the point agreed
u oni or hereafter to be agreed on, by
the President, or Congress. A num
44 her of the Y irginia delegate# have pe
44 titioned the President to change the
44 route, and pass through Washington.
44 This they request on the ground of
44 general expediency.”
[Lancaster Jour. Feb. 20.
Bravo? 44 Virginia could not inter
fere ; Charlestown and YVneeling were
equal to her; but a number of Delegates
petitioned in favour of Charlestown,1lton
the ground ofgeneral expediency.” What
a rascally opinion these Pennsylvanians
have of Virginia ! She is indifferent. A
matter ol general expediency is of no
concern to her. Gencr(d expediency re
quires the road to go to Charlestown ;
but Wheeling answers the purposes of
Virginia equally well. It is a great pity
that the names unci number of these pa
triotic Delegates, who petitioned in fa
vour of general expediency, are not men
tioned. Some people would like to
know how many of the thirteen men above
stairs were of the number. But quere,
ii the above is not the production of
some Snyderite, who, greatly envying
the happy state and condition of Virginia,
wishes to bring her into contempt and
disrepute,by representing her as govern
ed altogether by local interests, without
any regard to general expediency?
“ To appoint a Commissioner at Chili
w cothe, from circumstances now known
“ was just the same thing as to appoint
“ one in the town of Wheeling. Who
“ made Chilicothe the extreme point ?
“ Mr. Joseph Kerr. And if another
“ Commissioner resided on the shore of
“ Michigan, that would have been the
extreme. An appointment there would
“ have been the same thing as an ap
“ pointment in Charlestown.”
[Lane. J-onr. Feb. 20.]
So then, these Pennsylvania gentrv,
who were in favour of Washington and
Charlestown, meant to extend the road
to lake Michigan, in order, it is presu
med, to facilitate the intercourse be
tween this country and the Ilritish pos
sessions in Canada. Is it not strange,
that the President should prefer extend
ing the road tlvrough the state of Ohio,
toward Indiana and Upper Louisiana?
This disposition on his part, maugre the
Washington and Cfyirlcstown remon
stranee, and tfie request 6f Pennsyivsfe
nia, must proceed from his rooted anti
pathy to the English, and a villainous
designjto connect the western country
with the other states of the Union.
