Bills bare been reported for a reduction of the mi
ll taVy and naval establishments. The additional
mmj which was to have consisted of COOO men,
will probably be disbanded, except about a thou
sand men that remain after the ravages ot disease at
feiew-Oi leans; a sufficient number ot officer# will
boretsibed to rommaftd them. I am io favour of a
ftdurtioo »l the nary also; but do not believe that
the attempt will snct fed during the present Session.
By .a report which has been made to its by the se
cretary of the treasury, it appears that since the es
tablishment of the general government to January
}8®9, ibetjxpendi Wires, On account of the military
and naval mtabtishinenft have amounted to fifty
four and an half millions of dollars. That of thin
nuin, twenty-six millions were expended in tin ad
ministrations of Washington aad Adams, and twen
ty eight million in the eight years whilst Mr. Jeffer
son presided. This proves, that however tmpiovi
dent the waste of puhlick money may have been,
during the first period referred to‘, XIr. Jeffetsun
Isas exceeded bis predecessors in expense.
i It is worthy of remark, too, that the last years
of Mr. Jefferson’s administration in army and navy
ixpenditures, are nearly equal to those of his prede
cessor at tbe close ol hit mad career. In order to
give a correct understanding of the subject to which
it relates, I have subjoined an extract from a tree
sury report before me, of the national receipts and
expenditures up to Jan. —and giving a com
parative eiew of the economy of the nrtinioistrati
ons. ’In that statement you will discover that

A Liverpool paper of the 24tb March rontains
the fallowing paragraph » *
V It is fortunate that the American frigate, John
Adams, which U is said, is »h»ot to sail from this
country, with a new project for the aemmniodati
' non of differences arranged between Mr. Pinkney and
“lord ^Velleslcy, will he able to nnuounte officially
th« capture of Ginirialnnpe to the government of the
.‘United Stale*. It narrows still more the groands
of difference between the two countries, which hkve
lor some time, by the regular course of events, been
^gradually diminishing. All dispersions respecting
the mode of tradioi with the enemy’s cnl»Aie» are
slow waved, nod all ambiguity attending the tran
sit of West India prodara to Europe, is.now remov
ad. These prulifick and perrenia) Springs of dispute
an now dried up, all that remains to discuss, are
somepoint* of national etiquette, which, if the dis
putants are really disposed t# accommodation may
very easily be arranged.”
. We have received two letter* from Tonoingen, as
late at-the 20ih of March.
1 .On* «f them says, “ the ship Robert Hale, of
Providence, lost her anchors in the Jade, Feh. 21,
and drove <n> a (iaak on the territory of Oldenberg
‘ —in this distressed situation, she was taken by the
French, and the cargo taken out—a letter from the
Supercargo says, “ there i* mack reason to fear
that ail will be 1081."
A noth* r letter bays, " I am sorry to say that lha
were han't will act wrong to send their property
bere, for they itick ut nothing ; far, of all the pla
ces fur imposition ibis is the capital.”

•Axed fame for ettonotny. The statement furnishes
undeniable evidence, that he*consunied as much in1
the eight years of his administration, as his pre
decessors had done in twelve.
Repeated and unavailing attempts having been
made to repeal the non'interrnurse law* will now
be permitted to expire with the Session. Oor reve
nue which before the sotpensma of oor commerce
by the embargo and non-intercourse laws, amount
ed to eighteen millions pf dollars, will amount in the
present year to tit and a half millions. To meet
this defalcation aiid-providefor the current expenses
of the year* a loaa of four millionsof dollars became
accessary ; and a law was passed accordingly. The
deranged state of our finances, will, I pnsume, be
the best comment on that distinctive policy which
has been pursued for three years past.

i during the aitmnutration* of Washington and Adame,
•nd it were to »>e desired both parties rescind theit
orders that uflect your oeuiinlity—as lor hu ap
proaching peare it is more desired than likely to
t*ke place. The clandestine romtn- rce hitherto
carried on with the opposite shore, exists no more
—Very vigorous measures ate in opeialion for that
purpose. Our king is at Purs; out will be back
in the course of next month. The country is to
maintain its indepi n<h rce and «h accession of terri
tory will be the rons«(juenc«—Our market has long
been uod<r the influence of a sensible calm ; there is
still very little doing. Prices ol must atticies are
merely nominal, lor want of demand—ll the expor
tation to Germany and France was permitted, •
great rise would immediately follow."
We are indebted to the politeness of a friend, for
the following Uanslaliou of the new litriin decree,
issued 18th March, by his Prussian majesty.
This singular state paper, exhibits in the most
glowing colours the degradation of continental Eu
rope ; and speaks in a language too plain to be mis
understood, the fate w hieh inevitably must await
the friends ami allies of his imperial majesty. Ame
ricans I Prussia once was free—behold the efforts of
its alliance with the man who now rules the desti
nies of the Eastern hemisphere I
Berlin, March 13, 1810.
The following has appeared here this day :
“ We, Frederick William, king of Prussia, Ac."
11 Although we considered the measures taken io
consequence of the treaty of Tilsit, 11th June,
1808, which had for their object the entire exclusion
of English commerce at being sufficient for the pur
pose lor which they were intended, we are now con
vinced of the contrary, particularly hy the measures
lately taken by his imperial majesty the emperour
Napoleon, and therefore are now under the necessi
ty of taking new measores for the purpuae of im
posing the above.
1st. After the first day of April next, no vessel
which may arrive from any European port, having
on board any of the articles prohibited by the conti
nental system shall be admitted— Drugs shall alone
be excepted.
2d. No produce commonly termed colonial, the
produce of the East or West Indies, shall he permit
ted to be importet^from any European port, as it
is not to be supposed that any of the continental
powers who possess colonies import more than tbry
want for their own consumption. Colonial and
such Other produce as is not European, can ably be
imported direct out of American ports, and out of
such other East and West India countries and colo
nies with which Francs is in friendly intercoarse.
All East and West India produce on board of a
etssd coming from an European port shall bsced

of toe Sullivan’s Island parket-boats, and We pte
sume she is now completely ready to recommence
her “ useful labours." We hail her of tku port,
because it is here that she disposes of ber plunder,
aud it it here that sbe has received a complete out
fit in every thing accessary to enable her to roiui
uue her depredations on American commerce. Il
gratitude were inherent in the composition of a
French privateersman, we should at least hope that
the vessels belonging to this port, from which sbe
h»s been usheied forth snat’i such increased energies,
would be exempted by her from plunder ; but we
fear that even <>ur own ships (there being a number
j ready lor sea) may be sufferers, and that, like the
fabled adder, sbe will sting the band that has so
i kindly nurtured her.
Tbk French national brig Lt PnpilloH, which put

most of our rrader». it was the boast of Iter offi

appears, however, from the following letter, that
she has not only been overtaken, hut captured, and
by a brig too, probably wi' interior force.

the direction pointed out, and ,it noon was foittlnale
■ nougb to get sight of her, and alter a ch.,se of 38
hours, she sui rendered to his majesty’s sloop under

the national brig Le Ppillum, commanded by
Monsieur De la Genetiere, capitame da frigate,
mounting .fopueeti 24 pound carron-id**, and two
long sixes, with 110 men on board, 20 of whom
are troops. She was from Bordeaux bound to Gua

on board, 80 of which she threw overboard during
the chase, ’t he Paptllion is a vessel oi large dimen
