By recent Arrivals at Boston, from Liverpool, and Rotterdam.
GERMANY. HAMBURG, SEPT. 29.
Of Russian Affairs.
WE have advices that the Russians have on foot, in the confines of Germany, extending from the Baltic to the Black Sea, no less than 350,000 men; —of whom 152,000 are picked men.
A Russian corps has received permission from Prussia to traverse South Prussia ( ci-devant Poland ) and Silesia; and Gen. CHLESLOWSKY, at Warsaw, has received orders to conduct them. A large body of them are to assemble in Silesia; but we have not yet heard of their having passed the Oder. 60,000 Russians are expected in Pomerania, by water, and advices from Koenisberg, state, that Russian troops were embarking at several ports.
A Russian fleet, of three sail of the line, and two frigates, were off Copenhagen, a few days since, bound to Corfu. This does not look like a speedy peace.
The Prussian troops lately in Silesia, have marched into Saxony, to make room for the Russians expected from Poland.
Of Austria.
Accounts from Brannau, Sept. 4, say, the Austrians are strong in upper Austria, and that they have 260,000 men ready to take the field.
MARBURG, SEPT. 20.
Prussian and Saxon Armies.
The Prussian army on our frontier is stronger every day. The right wing is posted towards Munster, the left is on the side of East Friesland.—The Grand Army is formed behind the Elbe, and is commanded by Marshal MALLENDORFF; it consists of 70,000 infantry, and 16,000 cavalry; his Majesty is with this division of his troops. Besides this body of troops, which is daily augmenting, all the forces from Magdeburg are to be joined. In Silesia the troops which are already very numerous, are to be joined by 20,000 Saxons. In addition to these, there are two armies of reserve, one at Castrin, and the other at Bober.
DRESDEN, SEPT. 21.
This city is full of Prussian officers. Yesterday about 8000 Prussian troops arrived here; and they are to be followed by 4000 more. The Grand Head-Quarters are at present at Halle; and it appears that the army will march against the French territory. It is said that the King of Prussia's camp equipage has reached Halle. All the Saxon troops, hitherto in cantonments, have had orders to march; though at present their destination is not certainly known.
FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 27.
VIEW OF PRUSSIA, Drawn by the pencil of a Frenchman.
The following extract from the Publiciste , of the 27th Sept. is well worth the attention of the reader; it professes to be the letter of a traveller, arrived from Berlin at Frankfort, on the 17th of the same month:—
"The King of Prussia, is one of the honestest men of his Court; he is well aware of the true interests of his
Country; he loves and desires peace with France: but unfortunately, among those who direct its affairs, it is not him who possesses the most weight. M. De Haugwitz wishes for peace with France, but he wants energy of mind to resist his adversaries. M. Lombard also wishes for peace; he is too enlightened not to see the dangers of a change of system; but his credit is limited, because his functions are only exercised directly with the King. The Duke of Brunswick, General Mollen-dorff, and many other Generals, are anxious for peace, but they do not urge their wishes in a proportionable degree to their inclinations. These men, such as we have described them, have no weight whatsoever.
"We have been tempted in this view of things to ask of our Traveller, who then in Prussia, wants to go to war? We must, replies he, in the first place put at the head of the war faction, the Queen, an amiable, and even a beautiful woman, but light and inconsiderate, who thinks herself much more clever than her husband, and who is urged on in her objects, by her relations, and, perhaps, by her attachment to Russia. Almost all the ladies of the Court are in a delirium at the recollection of the Emperor Alexander, and animated by the example of their Queen, are ardent upon the subject of war.
"We must also take into the account the young military men, who, wearied of their insignificance, and discontented with their wretched pay, hope every thing from the fortune of war. Let the party of England also not be forgotten, which the misunderstanding between the two countries has not prevented from making its way into the middling circles, and almost universally throughout the country.
"This information, if correct, gives room for some observations. What personage in France was the first cause of the revolution? What other at Naples has just been the cause of the ruin of her House? This inconstant & light sex, as capable of prepossessions and passions as they are little susceptible of calculation, do not see the abyss before they are on the brink of it; then they weep, they sigh: but, in political contests, tears are feeble arms. If, as our traveller affirms, the Queen of Prussia be at the head of the war party, we fear we may foretel that her fine eyes will shortly melt into tears.
"Such then is the spectacle which Prussia exhibits; a Queen young and handsome, who ought to be an angel of conciliation and of peace, is an agent of discord and of war; a King replete with wisdom and probity, does not display the resolution of a monarch; an enlightened Prime Minister is a servant destitute of courage. In fine, a powerful monarchy is itself digging the abyss which is going to swallow it up. What a subject for reflection!"
TURKEY. RUSSIA, SEPT. 24.
The Servians and the Turks had a most desperate battle on the 29th and 30th of August; the former were ultimately surrounded by 15,000 Turks; but were afterwards reinforced by 7000 men, and completely defeated the Turks, leaving upwards of 4000 dead on the field of battle. They took 500 horse, a number of mules, ammunition, several pieces of cannon, &c.
Russia is determined to have a peace on just and honourable terms, or try her strength with her allies.
Of Prussia.
Concerning the Prussian movements the following is stated:—At
Berlin the 30th September, there was not the least doubt of a commencement of hostilities, and momentarily expected to be advised of its confirmation.—However, advices had been received from Gotha, that the 8th of October was the day which probably would decide Peace or War. In a late declaration of the King of Prussia to France, it is said, that he insisted that France should withdraw all his troops from Germany, and not meddle in the affairs of the North; and that she should accede to the measure of restoring peace to the continent.
The last of September the Prussian royal head-quarters was removed from Naumburg to Welmer. The corps of Gen. Kalkreuth which faced the Swedes in Swedish Pomerania, has also joined that army; which army of Saxony consists of 150,000 men. On the 2d of October, Baron Jacobi , the former Prussian envoy to Great-Britain, left Hamburg for London.
JAMAICA. KINGSTON, OCT. 22.
The eleven unhappy and deluded men, who were found guilty of being engaged in a mutiny on board the Ferret sloop of war, on the 26th ult. were, at twenty minutes after 7 o'clock on Monday morning, launched into eternity, pursuant to the sentence of the Court-Martial, held on board the Elephant, of 74 guns.—Boats from the different vessels of war in port, with a certain number of men in each, attended on the occasion. As soon as they had been suspended a sufficient time, their bodies were taken down, and four of them, the principal offenders, were carried to one of the keys beyond Port-Royal, where they were hung up in chains; the remainder were sent to the Hospital at Port-Royal for dissection. Previous to these unfortunate men suffering, they appeared extremely penitent, and acknowledged the justness of their sentence. We understand they wrote a letter to Capt. Cadogan, expressive of their sorrow for their conduct, and regretting much the trouble they had given him in quelling their rebellious disposition, and in preserving the Ferret and bringing her safe into port.
Two seamen, who were witnesses on the trial of the mutineers of the Ferret, have been since tried for prevaricating and giving improper evidence in regard to that transaction, when they were each of them adjudged to three months confinement in a solitary cell.
ENGLAND. LONDON, SEPT. 27.
Prussia ought to be assisted in her struggle against the ambition and tyranny of France. "We know that there are persons, and those not in small number, the trembling sons and daughters of distempered philosophy, who are eternally exclaiming against the cruelties of war, who will hear no cause however just and sacred in its defence, who will not suffer any motives, however virtuous and noble, to be pleaded in its palliation. They will tell us that Prussia must be ruined and undone by going to war with France! to which we reply, that she must be ruined by remaining at peace with France. She may fall by going to war, but she will fall with honor and with glory;—she must fall by remaining at peace, but she will fall without esteem, without honor, without pity. Will those advocates for peace tell us what nation BONAPARTE ever spared that endeavored to purchase his forbearance by submission and pacific demeanor?—There are no men who render more real service to BONAPARTE, than these preachers against
war, these advocates who are always setting before our eyes the immense power and resources of France, and the folly and madness of opposing them."
OCT. 7—9. 1806.
Of Prussian Affairs.
PRUSSIAN FORCES.
   Foot, of the line, &c. 178,481   Cavalry, 40,476   Artillery, 13,210   Sundry corps, 7,510   239,677  
The Saxon army, in 1802, was 34,213 strong. Hesse, in 1804, had 16,000 troops in service.
Accounts from Liepzig, (Saxony) Sept. 11, say, 100,000 Prussians, have reached their points of destination.—They have been joined by the whole Saxon force, and a body of Hessians. They are posted, one army near Gotha, in Saxony, said to be commanded by the Duke of BRUNSWICK;—another army near Franconia; and a third in Westphalia. A reserve is stationed at Castrin.
The principal Aid-de-Camp of Marshal BERTHIER, Minister of War, has been at Berlin, to demand of the King of Prussia why he was in arms? The Marshal's H. G. were at Amberg.
It is said Prussia can bring into action 130,000 men;—who may be joined by 50,000 Saxons, Hessians and Swedes.
All the cabinet ministers are with the King, at his H. Q. in Saxony.—The citizens do duty in Berlin, in the absence of a regular troops.
French Arrangements.
The Emperor NAPOLEON, at the last date, was at Mentz. Prussia and its allies, are invested by four divisions of the French army, commanded by Marshals AUGEREAU, MORTIER, BERNADOTTE and DAVOUST. Besides these an army of 80,000 men, to be commanded by King LOUIS, of Holland, is assembling on the frontier of that kingdom. There are also in Germany, three other divisions of French, commanded by Marshals LEFEBRE, NEY and SOULT;—who are to watch the motions of the Austrians. The whole number of French troops in Germany is estimated at 170,000.
Great number of troops are forcing into the places on the vicinity of the Rhine, from France; and the National Guards, (militia) are ordered to be assembled in all the departments near the Rhine.
OCT. 7. 1806.
MR. FOX'S FUNERAL.
The persons who are to join in this solemn and melancholy Procession are to assemble at the Stable yard, St. James's, by eleven o'clock on Friday morning. To Marshal and arrange them will occupy at least an hour, though the management of this business is left to the immediate superintendence of Mr. Downs, of Brewer street. The Order of the Procession, we understand, will be as follows:
Mutes, Standard bearers, &c. Musicians in Mourning Cloaks, playing the most Solemn Airs. Mutes again, with the other Official Assistants.
THE BODY,
In a Hearsé of a dome-like form at top, so constructed as to give a full view of the COFFIN. The Chief Mourner, Lord HOLLAND. The Carriages bearing the Directors of these solemn rites. Electors of Westminster, four & four. Members of the Whig Club, three and three.

Members of Parliament, two and two. Carriages of the Nobility, &c. &c.
It is not understood whether the PRINCE OF WALES will be present on the occasion. The streets are to lined by the Westminister, St. James's and Somerset-house Volunteers, under the command of a General Officer. Such is the outline of the solemnity.
OCT. 3.
British successes in Italy.
The belief of another victory gained by our troops in the Neapolitan territories gains ground—it is reported too that Gaeta has been retaken, and a paper of this morning affirms, that the successes of the British have continued without intermission. Sir JOHN STUART, when he re-embarked his troops, entertained no idea of relinquishing the contest. By landing on the other side of the Peninsula, he compelled General REGNIER to retrace his steps, and again to meet our countrymen in arms. Here the British bayonet was found to be as potent as on the plains of Maida. He was defeated with great loss, and was himself wounded; but whether mortally or not, those accounts from Malta do not say. At the same time the British squadrons have not been idle. They have retaken Gaeta, and we believe Sicilia. These successes have so far inspired the gallant Calabrians, that the French have now no safety but within their entrenched camps. A letter has been intercepted from King JOSEPH to General MASSENA, in which this Monarch of a narrowed territory informs that Commander, that if speedy reinforcements are not sent, the English and the Rebels as the Loyalists are termed—cannot be prevented from entering into Naples.
Prussia and Great-Britain.
Notwithstanding the prospect of a speedy arrangement of the differences subsisting between this country and Prussia, the latter has been no farther relieved from the pressure of the war, than what is derived to her from the discontinuance of the blockade of the ports in the German Ocean. The order, for making prize of all vessels navigating under the Prussian flag is still in full force. Government, however, within these few days, have relaxed it so far as to give instructions, that Prussian vessels shall not be proceeded against in our Prize Courts until further orders. They are, in the mean time, to be brought in as usual.
GEORGE R.
Additional instructions to the commanders of our ships of war and vessels, which have, or may have letters of marque against Prussia, and the town of Papenburg; and also to the judges of our high court of admiralty, and the judges of our courts of vice-admiralty. Given at our Court at St. James', the 24th day of September, 1806, in the forty-sixth year of our reign:
Our will and pleasure is, and it is hereby ordered and directed, that all Prussian Vessels and Goods, and all Vessels and Goods belonging to the Town of Papenburg, which shall be seized and detained by any of our ships of war or privateers. After the date hereof, shall be brought into port, and shall be carefully preserved in safe custody, but that no final adjudication of such vessels and goods shall take place, until our further pleasure thereon shall be signified, either for the restitution of the said vessels and goods, or for proceeding to final adjudication therein.
By His Majesty's Command.

Great-Britain and Turkey.
The following is a copy of a letter received by the British merchants at Constantinople, in answer to an application to the Co. of Merchants.
Constantinople, Aug. 12, 1806.
"As the French Ambassador is now arrived, and as many persons have been inclined to imagine that his presence might produce some important change in the sentiments of the Porte, I think it may be satisfactory to the gentlemen of this Factory, if I make you acquainted with the opinion I have formed respecting the situation of affairs."
"I fear we must expect to see a considerable degree of intimacy between the French Embassy and the Porte, for
the reception of the Turkish Ambassador at Paris has certainly been very gratifying to this government; and it is reasonable to suppose, that not only those attentions will be repaid, but that an earnest endeavor will exist to conciliate France, by such obvious behaviour as may appear injurious to our interest. At the same time, I cannot persuade myself that the Turks will attend so little to their interest, as to risk the loss of our friendship. They are already sufficiently embarrassed with serious rebellion, which has broken out in the neighbourhood of their capital; they must be aware that their two squadrons which are now at sea, would necessarily fall into our hands; and as we expect nothing from them but fair neutrality, they do not appear to have any motive for acting hostily against us or our Ally (Russia.)"
"You will perceive that I do not ground my opinion on assurances of the Porte. It is true that they are increasing and unbounded, but as I have attended more to the real state of things than to these professions, which their interest alone would ever cause them to adhere to. I am sure if they understood that it is their interest, they would preserve their friendship for us; and therefore, it is my duty to be on my guard. I am inclined to hope that, for the present, at least, there is no serious reason for alarm."
CHARLES ARBUTHNOT.
To ISAAC MORRIS, Esq. &c. &c. Constantinople. OCT. 9.
BUENOS AYRES.
Our Cabinet, very properly, has notified to BONAPARTE its determination not to give up Buenos Ayres in any negotiation to be made. This is taking him in his own way.
To hold the valuable possessions we have lately acquired in South-America, large reinforcements are going, and will be sent out. The 40th, 45th, 67th, and 95th regiments, have already sailed;—and they are to be followed by the 5th, 36th, and 88th regiments, and 17th dragoons.
PLYMOUTH, OCT. 5.
In the late capture of La President, 44, by Admiral LOUIS's squadron, the Dispatch, 18, Capt. HAWKINS, absolutely engaged her an hour and a half, most gallantly, before the Spartiate, 84, Capt. Sir F. LA FOREY, came up to her assistance, when she soon struck her colors; she is laid to be very rich in gold dust, ivory and elephants teeth, her share of plunder from the British ships she captured on the coast of Africa.
Miscellaneous.
Bonaparte some days previous to his departure from Paris, presented the Prussian Ambassador with four beautiful Hanoverian Horses. In his last interview however, in which he delivered to the Corsican Emperor, the ultimatum of his Court, Bonaparte displayed that angry and interperate folly, which, on some former occasions, has betrayed the weakness of his understanding. While the veteran Minister was repeating some of the requisitions of his Court, the Emperor, interrupted him, by saying; "Prussia is merely a watch; and whoever winds it up, will set it a-going." True Sir, rejoined the Minister "My country is a watch; but please to observe, it is a Repeater, and if wound up, it will strike."
Emperor of Hayti. —A most superb saddle, with suitable horse furniture, is now making at a tradesman's in the Strand, for the Black Emperor Dessalines, whose arms are richly emblazoned on the housings. The saddle, which is of excellent workmanship, is covered with red Morocco, beautifully stiched and ornamented with yellow silk.—The trappings are of the finest scarlet cloth, adorned with broad silver lace, many tassels, and a deep fringe. The holster flaps (of the same materials) are embroidered with two lions rampant, issuing from a band in-hand, supporting between their fore feet an Imperial Diadem. Above the Crown are engraved the words "Armee D'Hayti," and beneath the Union, that emphatic motto, "Liberte ou la mort."
The whole has a very splendid appearance, and is calculated to meet the admiration, and to suit the gawdy taste of the trans-Atlantic Chief, for whom it is intended. This saddle and furniture, together with a magnificent whip and bridle (the head piece of which is of shell-work,) are ordered by a merchantile house in the city, and are meant, we understand, as a present for the Black Emperor of St. Domingo. Twenty-for more, of a similar description, are to accompany it, for his equeries aides-de-camp, and staff, as likewise an elegant side saddle, for her sable Majesty, the Empress of all the Haytians. The whole, will cost upwards of 2000 guineas.
Dreadful Accident. —By the falling of a rock and earth, which formed the summit of a mountain, in the canton of Schwitz, in Switzerland, the beginning of September, four villages were overwhelmed; in which 1000 people were destroyed; and the lake of Lauwartz was so filled with the falling earth, as to raise the water to such an height as to overturn a number of houses, chapels, mills, &c. situated on its borders. We think the account of this accident exaggerated; but the calamity has been dreadful.
By the French article respecting Jerome Bonaparte, as translated for the English papers, it does not appear that he had been married to a Princess of Wurtemburgh, but only that such a union was contemplated. Neither is it stated that he had been raised as the rank of a Prince.
Domestic Occurrences.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 19.
WE have the satisfaction of confirming the information of the Spanish forces having crossed the Sabine. Advices, dated October the 5th, have been received from General Wilkinson, who was then stationed on this side of the Sabine. Previously to leaving Natchitoches he had informed Gov. Cordero, that in compliance with his duty, he should be obliged to attack the Spanish troops, unless they retire beyond that river. Not having received a satisfactory answer from the Governor: the American army was advanced about twenty miles beyond Natchitoches, when the Spanish forces crossed the Sabine. Propositions of accommodation, founded on the agreement of the American and Spanish commandants to abstain from occupying a district of country to be designated, were made by Gen. Wilkinson to Gov. Cordero; to which the latter had replied that he did not consider himself authorised to enter into such a convention without instructions from the Governor General of Mexico, to whom he promised to write immediately. From the distance of this province an answer can scarcely be expected in less than a month.
At the time our forces advanced, the militia had joined them in greater numbers than had been expected, and even beyond the requisition made; thus affording the most unequivocal demonstration of their fidelity to the United States.
At the latest dates General Wilkinson had dismissed all the militia except about hundred and fifty cavalry, which, with the regular troops, were stationed on the Sabine the Spaniards being stationed on the further banks.
VIRGINIA.
NORFOLK, NOV. 20.
Capt. SHEARMAN, from Malaga, says, early in September, as the United States Schooner Enterprise passed Algeziras, she was fired at and attacked by 7 Spanish gun-boats; upon which Capt. PORTER bore down within hail of them without returning their fire, with his colors hoisted—they continued firing, which induced Capt. P. to pour a few broadsides into them, which soon drove them back to their hiding places.
On Sunday a person laid down a fowling piece loaded with buck-shot, at a house in Bank-street, which he supposed was not loaded—a lady belonging to the house, took it up, went through several evolutions, and asked if it was loaded—being answered negatively she levelled the piece at a female to frighten her, pulled the trigger and lodged the shot in one of the girl's thigh.
STATE OF NEW-YORK.
TROY, NOV. 18.
Extract of a letter from Washington, to a gentleman in this Village, dated 6th Nov. 1806.
"A fracas took place in this city on the evening of the 20th ult. which was something novel, and I will relate it.—Gen. Turbeaux, the French Minister, collected some French sailors from the frigate lying at Annapolis, and intended to carry his lady on board by force.—But her shrieks and cries, at about 8 P. M. alarmed their neighbors. The sovereign people collected in full majesty about the house, and demanded her release; and after several hours parley, she was set at liberty."
SAG-HARBOUR, NOV. 25.
"A letter is received in this place, from a gentleman of high respectability in Connecticut, which states, that he, a few evenings before, had a conversation with G. Granger, Esq. in which Mr. G. stated, that he had information from a certain General* at the eastward, that Col. Burr had given him the offer of second in command, if he would aid in separating the western from the eastern States. Col. Burr informed him that all the western states, except Ohio, were ripe for the enterprize—that he was amply provided with provisions and merchandise, had boats building at Marietta, and could have a hundred thousand dollars in specie at half an hour's notice. Mr. Granger enquired of the aforesaid officer if he could and would certify what he had declared, and on being answered in the affirmative, he immediately forwarded the intelligence to the President of the United States."

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
Yesterday, in the Supreme Judicial Court, the Grand Inquest for the county, returned a bill of indictment against Thomas O. Selfridge, Esq. for Manslaughter, in shooting Mr. Charles Austin, on the 4th of August last. He was soon after arraigned and pleaded, Not Guilty to the charge. The Court inquired when he would be ready for his trial; and named Friday and Tuesday next.—Mr. Selfridge replied, he could not possibly say, he could be ready soon.—He had not yet consulted his counsel on the subject; and he had witnesses to collect, one of whom, he understood, was in New-York, and another in the District of Maine. The Court, after a salutation with the Attorney General, did not assign any particular day; but directed Mr. S. to be ready for trial as soon as possible. His Counsel then moved that he be admitted to bail, to attend from day to day until his trial.—The Attorney-General (Sullivan) was asked, if he had any objection to make to the motion.—He replied, "That Manslaughter was a bailable offence, he could therefore have no objection." Mr. S. was then required to find bail in 2000 dollars penalty, to abide his trial—He has, we learn, found the bail and will be restored to his liberty this day.
From St. THOMAS.
Capt. Sturges, arrived at Philadelphia, from St. Thomas, which he left 7th Nov. informs, that it was reported at that place previous to his departure, that 3 French ships of the line had got into Martinique, after having had an engagement with a British squadron (Com. Hood's) in which the French had lost four of their consorts, having on board 1000 troops.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By an arrival at Gloucester from Rotterdam, a great number of letters have been received in town, dated from the latter place as late as the 16th of October. They uniformly announce the important intelligence that Lord Lauderdale actually quitteed Paris on the 9th of October, without having completed the object of his mission.
In one of the letters, it is added, that an action had taken place between the French and Prussian armies, in which the latter was victorious.

It is to be observed, that the former intelligence agrees exactly with the date of the Telegraph news, received by Lord Howick, and officially announced by him to the Lord Mayor of London.
No mention is made in these letters by what route the intelligence was received. Those of the 14th and 15th briefly state, "that Lord Lauderdale quitted Paris on the 9th of October;" but in one of the 16th it is mentioned, that his Lordship had RETURNED to England.
That the rupture of the Negotiation had created an unusual and unexpected sensation on the public mind; that the mail-coachmen, on communicating the intelligence, as they passed through the villages were cheered by the inhabitants with shouts of applause; and the general cry was, "Eternal War, rather than a dishonorable Peace."
That a heavy firing was heard from the French coast; supposed to proceed from an attempt of the British cruisers to set fire to the flotilla, by means of rockets of an enormous size, discharged from vessels of a light draught of water, upon the principle of shells thrown from a mortar battery.
Prince Jerome Bonaparte has been promoted to the Rank of Rear Admiral, by a decree of the French government.
WARREN:
SATURDAY, DEC. 6, 1806.
Town-meetings were held on Tuesday last throughout this State, to complete its representation in the tenth Congress of the U. States. The candidates were, the Hon. ISAAC WILBOUR, Esq. and WILLIAM HUNTER, Esq. The former had, in the 17 towns heard from, 1040 votes and the latter 726.
The last session of the 9th Congress commenced at Washington on Monday last.
New capital crime. —The fate of the late unfortunate Mr. PALM, cannot be read without emotion by those whose bosoms glow with sentiments of patriotism, justice or humanity. This man, a bookseller at Nuremburgh, one of the free Imperial Cities of Germany, was suddenly seized by a detachment of French troops, dragged before a Military Commission assembled at Brannau, tried on a charge of having sold publications reflecting on the Government of Bonaparte, CONDEMNED and EXECUTED.
Two hundred pounds have been raised in England, for his family.
It is confidently stated, that the French Minister at Washington has intimated to our executive, that the rescinding of the St. Domingo law would not be displeasing to him or his Court. The reason alleged for this conduct is, that, since the passage of the interditory statute, the trade has fallen entirely into the hands of British adventurers; who are generally so well armed as to bid defiance to the French privateers!— Phil. Gan.
SOUTH-AMERICA.
The public have been presented with a description of that part of South-America lately conquered by the English. The following is an account of another contiguous place, that may be expected to invite the attention of British valour, and British enterprize.
CHILI.
This province is in length 1260 miles, in breadth 380, and is bounded on the east by La Plata. St. Jago is the chief town. The climate of Chili is one of the most delightful in the world, being a medium between the two extremes of heat and cold. Not only the tropical fruits, but all species of grain, come to the greatest perfection. The country is but thinly inhabited; but prodigious numbers of oxen, goats, sheep, &c. are fattened on the plains.
Chili produces great quantities of gold, silver, copper, tin, quicksilver, iron and lead. Such vast quantities of gold are washed down from the mountains, annually, as are estimated at 8,000,000 of dollars.
Extract of a letter from Natchez, to the Editor, of the Boston Repository, dated Oct. 6, 1806.
A Spanish war and speculations upon its consequences are the entire subjects of conversation with us. It is confidently expected, that within a very few days, an engagement will take place between the Spanish and American troops on the West of the Mississippi. The western boundary of Louisiana is the subject of dispute. Natchitoches, about 150 miles west of this place by the circuitous way of travellers is the most western post surrendered to the United States. The Spaniards contend that the western boundary of Louisiana is but about 8 miles west of Natchitoches; and say that monuments are still to be seen on the lines anciently settled between France and Spain, with the arms of the one power on one side, and the arms of the other power on the other side of those monuments. The American Government claims to the river Sabine, about 70 or 80 miles west of Natchitoches; and General
Wilkinson the Commander in Chief of the Western Army, has orders to repel any encroachments on this side that river. Last spring a Spanish officer and soldiers were stationed at the junction of a number of roads, leading from the interior of the Eastern Mexican province, about 18 miles west of Natchitoches; this party was driven off by Capt. Turner, then Commandant at that post. The summer past, Capt. Sparks, and a Mr. Freeman ascended the Red river with about 60 men, as an exploring party, fitted out by the United States—they ascended about 600 miles, by the meandering course of the river, above Natchitoches, when they were driven back by the Spanish troops. Within two months past, about 200 Spanish troops, commanded by the Governor of one of the Mexican provinces, have taken post on the Bayou Pierre, a branch of Red river, about 60 miles in a south west direction from Natchitoches, and about 20 east of the Sabine, manifesting a fixed determination to keep their ground. The regular troops of the United States have all been ordered from the Mississippi to Natchitoches and General Wilkinson has gone on to take command of them. A requisition of 450 militia for the service has been made from the territory of Orleans, and 250 from this territory. Most of the militia ordered from this territory crossed the Mississippi at this place yesterday and to day. The number of American regulars at Natchitoches is about 700; and it is expected the militia will amount to an equal number; as soon as they arrive, we are given to understand, General Wilkinson will attack the Spanish camp.
The French in the territory of Orleans have shown, on this occasion, but little attachment to our Government—but have almost universally refused to turn out to fight against their former king.
Great anxiety pervades this territory. Indian hostilities, domestic insurrection of slaves and Spanish depredations, are subjects of alternate fears and apprehension.
MARRIED,
In Providence, by the Rev. Mr. Gano, Mr. ELIEZER B. BILLINGS, merchant, to Mrs. ELIZABETH STERRY, relict of the late Mr. Samuel Sterry. On Sunday evening last, by the Rev. Mr. Gano, Mr. RICHARD SALISBURY, to Miss LYDIA THURBER, eldest daughter of Samuel Thurber, jun. Esq.
DIED,
At Franklin, on the 2d inst. Mr. AMOS MASON late of Swansey, in the 58th year of his age. In Middleborough on Thursday the 20th ult. the Rev. ISAAC BACKUS, pastor of the first Baptist church in that town aged 83. Mr. BACKUS was born at Norwich, in Connecticut, Jan. 9, 1724. Began to preach Sept. 27, 1746. Was ordained to the pastoral office of a congregational church, in the north part of Middleborough, April 13, 1748. In August 1751, he was baptized with several of his brethren, who notwithstanding held communion together in the same church, until Jan. 16, 1756, when the baptized members formed themselves into a distinct church, and Mr. BACKUS was installed over them on the 23d of June following. He continued his public labors until a few months before his death; when a stroke of the palsy, deprived him almost of sensation. Mr. BACKUS has been the uniform friend, and advocate of civil and religious liberty. His writings, which are considerably voluminous, contain much ecclesiastical, and historical information. Few men have exemplified the excellency of the gospel, by a holy, humble, blameless life, more than Mr. BACKUS. So long as he was capable of communicating his views and feelings, he discovered the most entire resignation to the will of god, and appeared to be cheerfully WAITING ALL HIS APPOINTED TIME UNTIL HIS CHANGE SHOULD COME.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. —The King George Packet, Capt. Walker, bound from Park-Gate for Dublin, was lately lost on Salisbury Sands. Her passengers, most Irish harvestmen, above one hundred in number, who were returning from England with pittance of their labours to their families, were under hatches. The pumps were soon choked, and the water came so fast on the Irishmen in the hold, that they drew their large harvest pocket-knives, and with desperation flew one another, to make their way upon deck. Great numbers ran screaming upon the mast; a woman, with her child fastened to her back, was at the topmast head; the mast broke, the vessel being on her side, and they were all precipitated into the waves! Only five men and a poor Irish sailor boy escaped; the remainder, 125 in number, among whom were 7 cabin passengers, perished!

APOLLO'S FOUNT.
LOVE SONG,
ADAPTED TO MODERN TIMES.
BOAST not to me the charms, that grace The finest form, or fairest face; Shape, bloom, and features I despise; Wealth, wealth is beauty to the wise.
Come then, O come, and with thee bring Ten thousand joys from wealth that spring; Oh, bring the deeds of thine estate, Thy quit rents, mortgages, and plate.
Still keep unfeen those auburn locks, And yield thy treasure in the stocks; Oh, hide that soft, that snowy breast, And give, instead, thy iron chest.
Thy guineas shame the blushing rose, Which in those cheeks unneeded blows; Too sweet for me that ruby lip, Give me thy India bonds, and scrip,
WHY LOVERS ARE POETS.
LOVERS and poets are by all allow'd To feed on thin and unsubstantial food; Bards oft for dinner pore o'er mousy books, And lovers swear they live on pleasant looks; Perhaps 'tis owing to a food so light, Lovers turn wits, and are so prone to write.
From the MASSACHUSETTS MAGAZINE.
INFELICIA.—A Character.
She sets like stars that fall, to rise no more. OTWAY.
HOW great soever may be the parade, which some writers make of the boasted liberties enjoyed by us, women, yet certain it is, that we are treated in many instances, like the most abject slaves, and are amenable to the most cruel and oppressive laws, formed by those worst of all lawgivers, Custom, Prejudice, and Caprice. Infelicia was one of the loveliest of her sex, the admiration of the men, and the envy of the women. The perceptions of her mind were in no degree inferior to those of her person. At the age of nineteen she received the addresses of Neronior, whose conversations appeared to her to be founded on honour, and whose person and address soon found a way to her heart. Young, generous and unsuspecting, she believed every thing that fell from his lips, and she looked up to Neronior as her guardian angel, who was to be her inseparable companion; the first object of her thoughts while living, and her comforter in the hour of death, should that first be her lot. But, alas! Neronior was base, treacherous, and perfidious, and Infelicia became the unhappy victim to his artifice and her own credulity. Unable to support the disgrace she now found herself involved in, ruined and deserted, the lilies and the roses soon faded on her cheeks, and death, in a short time, finally closed those lovely eyes, which had but lately shone with such resplendent lustre. Had Infelicia outlived the keen sense of her sufferings, yet she would probably have experienced the fate of Narcissa, who, after having been seduced by her treacherous lover, and conveyed far from her friends, was deserted by him, in a strange place, exposed to disgrace, misery, and want. Ashamed, thus dishonoured, to return to her friends, she was forced to pursue that scene of life, which soon terminates in destruction.
Men have made severe laws against us, yet try every art, and every species of temptation, to induce us to break them; and, having done this, punish us for so doing with the unrelenting hand of a tyrant. To this cruel severity and ungenerous treatment, we must attribute there being so many common prostitutes, who infest our publick streets, and who, in their turn, retaliate misery and disease on men. I cannot here help lamenting, that the generality of our sex, who live with the reputation of unfullied virtue, are often too severe in their reproaches on these unfortunate girls, since many of these chaste and rigid matrons, had not good fortune screened from the world the little slips and errors of their youth, would now be perhaps as severely censured as those, whose follies and indiscretions are made publick.
