IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL DOCUMENTS.
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, SEPT. 20.
At the Court at the Queen's Palace, the 17th of September, 1806, present the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
WHEREAS the capital city, town, and fortress of Buenos Ayres, and its dependencies, have been conquered by his Majesty's forces, and the territory and forts of the same are delivered up to his Majesty: His Majesty is thereupon pleased to order and declare, that all his loving subjects may lawfully trade to and from the said capital city, town, and fortress of Buenos Ayres, and its dependencies, including therein all and every the territories belonging to or forming a part of the Government of the same, in British ships, owned by his Majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law; or in ships bona fide belonging to any of the subjects or native inhabitants of the said city, town, or territories, such native inhabitants being peaceably resident within the same, and under the obedience of his Majesty's Government there; and that such trade shall be subject to the same duties, rules, regulations, conditions, restrictions, penalties and forfeitures, to which the trade to and from his Majesty's colonies, plantations, and islands in the West-Indies and South America is, or shall be subject by law, except as is hereinafter specified:
And his Majesty is further pleased to order and declare, that all commodities, being of the growth, produce, or manufacture of the said capital city, town, and fortress of Buenos Ayres, and its dependencies, including therein all and every the territories belonging to, or forming a part of, the Government of the same, or which have been usually exported therefrom, shall be permitted to be imported into any of the ports of the United Kingdom in British ships, owned by his Majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law; or in ships bona fide belonging to any of the subjects or native inhabitants of the said city, town, or territories, such native inhabitants being peaceably resident within the same, and under the obedience of his Majesty's Government there; and that such commodities shall be subject to the same duties, rules, regulations, restrictions, conditions, penalties and forfeitures, as articles of the like sort are subject to coming from his Majesty's colonies, plantations or islands, in the West-Indies or South America.
And whereas information has been received, that the Commander of his Majesty's forces, to whom the said city, town, and fortress have surrendered, has reduced the duties on importation into the same, from about thirty-four and a half per cent. ad valorem, to ten per cent. ad valorem, and two and a half per cent. for the consulate or municipal duties, making, in the whole, twelve and one half per cent. on all articles imported into the said place and dependencies in British ships, owned by his Majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law; or in ships bona fide belonging to any of the subjects or native inhabitants of the city, town or territories, such native inhabitants being peaceably resident within

W. FAWKENER.
At the Court at the Queen's Palace, the 17th of September, 1806, present the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
Whereas by an act made and passed in the last Session of the present Parliament, and in the present year of his Majesty's reign, intitled "An act for authorizing his Majesty in Council to allow, during the present war, and for six months after the ratification of a Definitive Treaty of peace, the importation and exportation of certain goods and commodities in neutral ships into and from his Majesty's territories in the West-Indies and Continent of South America;" It is enacted, that from and after the passing of the said act, it shall and may be lawful for his Majesty, his heirs and successors, by and with the advice of his and their Privy Council, to permit, or to authorize the Governors of the Islands and territories hereinafter mentioned, in such manner, and under such restrictions as to his Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, shall seem fit to permit, when the necessity of the case shall appear to his Majesty, with the advice of his Privy Council to require it, from time to time during the present war, and for six months after the ratification of a Definitive Treaty of Peace, the importation into, and the exportation from, any island in the West-Indies (in which description the Bahama Islands and the Bermuda or Somer Islands are included) or any lands or territories on the Continent of South America to his Majesty belonging, of any such articles, goods, and commodities as shall be mentioned in such order of his Majesty in Council, in any ship or vessels belonging to the subjects of any state in amity with his Majesty, in such manner as his Majesty, his heirs and successors, by and with the advice aforesaid, shall direct; provided such ship or vessels shall duly enter into, report, and deliver their respective cargoes, and reload at such ports only,
where regular Custom-houses shall have been established:
And whereas it appears at present to be necessary to permit, for a limited time, subject to be sooner terminated varied, or altered, as is hereinafter provided, the importation into, and exportation from the Islands and territories of his Majesty in the West-Indies, (including the Bahama Islands and the Bermuda and Somer Islands) and the lands and territories on the Continent of South America to his Majesty belonging, of certain articles, goods, and commodities hereinafter mentioned, in any ships or vessels belonging to the subjects of any state in amity with his Majesty; his Majesty is thereupon pleased by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to order, & doth hereby order, that the Governors and Lieut. Governors of his Majesty's Islands and Colonies in the West-Indies, (in which description the Bahama Islands and the Bermuda or Somer Islands, are included) and of any lands or territories on the Continent of South America to his Majesty belonging, and each and every of such Governors and Lieutenant Governors shall be authorized, and they, and each, and every of them are hereby authorized to permit for twelve months from the date hereof, subject to be sooner terminated, varied, or altered as is hereinafter provided, in any ships or vessels belonging to the subjects of any state in amity with his Majesty, the importation into the said islands, colonies, lands and territories respectively of slaves and lumber, and also of every kind of provisions (beef, pork and butter always excepted,) which are of the growth or produce of the country to which such ship or vessel importing the same, shall belong; and also the exportation from the said islands, colonies, lands and territories respectively into which such importation of slaves, lumber, and provisions as aforesaid, shall be made of Rum and Molasses, and of any other articles, goods, and commodities whatsoever, except sugar, indigo, cotton-wool, coffee, and cocoa; provided always, that such ships or vessels shall duly enter into, report, deliver their respective cargoes, and reload at such ports only where regular custom-houses shall have been established: And his Majesty by and with the advice of his said Privy Council, is further pleased to order, and doth hereby order that notwithstanding any thing herein before contained, the said permission and authority to import and export, shall cease and determine, or be varied and altered before the expiration of the above mentioned period of twelve months, at the expiration of six months after notification in the London Gazette of any order of his Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, for revoking, varying, or altering such permission or authority, or shall cease and determine at the expiration of six months after the ratification of a definitive treaty of peace.
W. FAWKENER.
Queen's Palace, Sept. 17, 1806.
NEW ADMINISTRATION.
SEPT. 25. We understand that the following are the new arrangements which are agreed upon in consequence of the lamented death of Mr. Fox. Earl Fitzwilliam, from indisposition, withdraws from the situation (which requires regular attendance) of Lord President, but to retain his seat in the Cabinet.
 Lord Sidmouth, to be President.  Lord Holland, to be Lord Privy Seal.  Lord Howick, to be Secretary of State for the Foreign Department.  Mr. Thomas Grenville, to be first Lord of the Admiralty.  Mr. Tierney, to be President of the board of Control.  Mr. Bragge Bathurst, to be master of the Mint, Vice Lord Charles Spencer. 
Mr. Whitbread will be speedily called into office, but the arrangement for that purpose is not yet matured.
We can now add, with the utmost confidence that Lord Grenville proceeded on Monday morning to Windsor, to take the King's pleasure upon the above nominations all of which it is presumed will be confirmed at the Privy Council held this day.
The Expeditions.
The variety of, these, the mode of equipment of some of them, and the term for which they are variously victualled, puts conjecture at defiance. A great many flat bottomed boats have been sent from the Downs, and most of the transports have now one or two of them.
The immense number of troops now on the sea-coast, and on their march thither, and the number of transports now in readiness for them, indicate some very important enterprise; among the preparations now making, are a number of flat bottomed boats, and other flotilla. Though it is not easy to fix their exact destination; conjecture directs them to several points; it is certain that a very considerable reinforcement is to be sent to Buenos Ayres.
Major Generals Sir Arthur Wellesley and Sir George Prevost, will it is said, get the command of separate expeditions.
One of the expeditions now fitting out is for the Spanish Main. We understand that the 36th, the 87th, and 89th regiments, are to go on the service.
Among the regiments ordered for foreign service, are those of Gen. De Lancey, Gen. England and Gen. Reid.
The Veteran, Jerome Bonaparte's ship, is hauled into the inner harbour, at Cocurness, and moored head and stern to the shore, there not being room for her to swing; her guns are taken out to make batteries to protect her even there, and her sails unbent, so apprehensive are they of a visit from some of our ships.
Lord Hawkesbury sailed on board the Thames frigate a few days ago, in order to take a peep at Boulogne. His Lordship was yesterday landed at Deal, and was saluted with 15 guns from the frigate at leaving her.
Earl Percy.—Yesterday a large body of the Electors of Westminster, assembled at Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of expressing their approbation of the nomination of his Lordship as a candidate to represent the city of Westminster.
Lord Percy entered the room about 1 o'clock; he was conducted towards the chair by Mr. Whitbread and Mr. Adam. Mr. Dyng took the chair.
Mr. Whitbread rose to propose Lord Percy.—He prefaced his speech with a just eulogium on Mr. Fox, "as the landmark and safeguard of the constitution, & the bulwark of the world." It would be idle, added he, to talk of a successor to that Great Man, whose seat in council and in the senate will ever be vacant. He then dwelt on the hereditary virtues of the House of Percy, and the fair prospects from the education of the noble Lord he was about to propose; and with these examples in his view, that he would tread in the steps which his ancestors and Mr. Fox had trod before him. To speak of that young nobleman, at present, as calculated to fill the vacant seat for Westminster would be impossible—it was the commencement of his public life, and it was fair to draw a favourable augury of Lord Percy. They knew him to be independent, and above temptations to betray the rights and liberties of his country, which his noble family had ever supported. His father had ever been a patriot, and the friend to that great man, whose loss was so deeply lamented. His son has before his eyes the example of Mr. Fox, whose conduct was a model for him, as his successor. Lord Percy would do justice to the electors, by treading in the paths of honesty, simplicity and truth. Mr. Whitbread then read four resolutions: the first was to express the deep regret which the meeting felt for the death of Mr. Fox, and the others to declare their intention to support Lord Percy at the approaching election. After which he proposed Lord Percy, a proposal which

was received with reiterated marks of approbation.
Mr. Elliot seconded the motion—he was not in the habits of agreeing with Mr. Fox on many points but he still revered his character, and lamented his death as much as any man could. —He was convinced that Lord Percy would be found to act up to those principles which had distinguished his family in the cause of liberty.
Lord Percy returned his thanks to the Meeting, and pledged himself to act upon those principles that had rendered the memory of Mr. Fox so dear to them.
The resolutions were then severally put and agreed to without one dissenting voice.
Late and Important!
By an Arrival on Monday last at Boston from Liverpool.
ENDLAND. LONDON, OCT. 9. LORD LAUDERDALE'S RETURN.
YESTERDAY afternoon, Lord Howick, Secretary of State, sent a Note to the Lord Mayor, inclosing a copy of a message by Telegraph, just received from Deal:—
"TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGE, From Deal, 7 minutes past 1, P. M. Oct. 8, 1806."
"A Messenger arrived. Lord Lauderdale quite Paris to-morrow. Clyde frigate ordered to attend."
Immediately the Lord Mayor read Lord Howick's note to the Exchange: And sent it to Lloyd's—where it diffused universal satisfaction, evidenced by repeated buzzars and bursts of applause. The Ministers were at the levee, at the Queen's house, when the telegraphic communication arrived.
OCT. 9, 1806, P. M. Rupture of Negotiation.
The Lord Mayor's information was greeted with cheers from all parts of the Exchange, and at Lloyd's, with three times three. Joy pervaded every countenance, and every man congratulated his neighbour upon the failure of the negotiation. This expression of the sentiments of the merchants of London will have a suitable effect upon the councils of the TYRANT OF FRANCE. As illumination was talked of.
Mr. LISLE was the messenger who bro't the tidings of Lord LAUDERDALE's intended departure.—He left Paris the 7th, at 5 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at Boulogne at night, immediately embarked in a French boat, was picked up by the Dauntless press, which landed him the next morning at Deal. He hastened to London, and arrived at eight o'clock. Ross, the Messenger, embarked at Deal, for France, before LISLE arrived.—He will meet Lord LAUDERDALE on the road from Paris.
Lord LAUDERDALE's return, we think, must not have been expected by Ministers; or they would not have dispatched Ross so late as they did. It is probable either that his Lordship had received so pointed a refusal to his ultimate proposals as to induce him immediately to apply for his passports; or that Bonaparte finding we were likely to settle our differences with Prussia, sent orders for his Lordship to quit France immediately.
The Ministerial Prints say, the negotiation is at an end, unless M. CHAMPAGNY, the French negotiator, was authorized to accede to his Lordship's terms. "It is probable," says the Morning Chronicle , "that Ministers unwilling to allow the discussion to be further protracted, instructed his Lordship to submit certain proposals, and to notify, that unless these were accepted, he should quit Paris within a given time." Ministers would not certainly have made the communication they did, yesterday, were not the Negotiation completely at an end, and no chance of Peace remaining.
Immediately on the arrival of LISLE, at Deal, Ad. HOLLOWAY sent express to the squadrons; and ordered Commodore OWEN, in the Clyde, to wait off Boulogne, for Lord LAUDERDALE; who may be expected in town on Sunday, at farthest.
This news gives us pleasure.—The negotiation was never popular.—The present state of Europe does not admit of secure peace.—But she war was and is popular—never was war more so.
OCT. 9. Stocks.—3 per cent. 60 a 61—Omnium 4.
A Hamburg mail has arrived.—All was in motion on the continent; and a Russian army of 90,000 men already assembled on the frontiers of Silesia (the eastern part of the Prussian dominions.)
BONAPARTE left Paris the 25th Sept. and was at Mentz, on the Rhine, the second October.
OCT. 7—9. There are reports from Paris, that the French have suffered new defeats in Calabria; that MASSENA and REJNIER, were wounded; and that the English had taken Salerno; and the insurgent Coniensa.—This may be mere report.
Another Naval Victory.
Letter from Captain Sir SAMUEL HOOD, to Admiral Sir CHARLES COTTON.
Centaur, at Sea, 29th Sept. 1806.
SIR, Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, I had the good fortune to fall in with a
squadron of the enemy, standing to the westward; the squadron under my orders being then on the larboard tack, stretching in for Chatham Light-House, six or seven leagues from us, the Revenge to windward, and the Monarch to leeward, on the look out, the latter ship first making a signal for an enemy, when I soon discovered seven sail to the leeward of me; and considering them, in part, like of battle ships, the signal was made to form the line, and shortly after I observed them bearing up, making all sail, and running to the S. S. W. The signal was instantly made for a general chase, and the Monarch from her position and good sailing, was enabled to keep nearly within gun-shot, a mile and a half or little more, ahead of the Centaur, and the Mars on the starboard bow. At day-light we made them out five large French frigates, and two corvetts, one of which bearing a broad pendant; at five the Monarch fired a few chase shot; and at six the weathermost frigate hauled more to the westward, in pursuit of which I dispatched the Mars; and one frigate, with the two corvetts, edged away to the southeast, the remaining three frigates keeping in close order, indicating the intention of supporting each other. At a quarter past ten the Monarch opened her starboard guns on the enemy, when a heavy cannonading commenced, and by the enemy's management of a running fight they succeeded, in some measure, in crippling the Monarch's sails and rigging before the Centaur could get up. At eleven we got within fair range of two, and opened our fire from the larboard guns, whilst the Monarch kept engaging the third ship, and about noon one of the two frigates struck, as did the one opposed to the Monarch shortly after. It was just before this I received a severe wound in my right arm, (since amputated, and doing well I hope) which obliged me to leave deck; the Mars previous to this, had succeeded in capturing her chase, and with her prize hauled towards the Centaur, in chase of, and firing at the French Commodore's ship, at three assisted in capturing her. Those ships of the enemy made an obstinate resistance, but the result was, as may well be supposed, attended with much slaughter, being crowded with troops, out of Rochefort the evening before. I cannot add too much praise to Captain LEE, of the Monarch, for his gallant and officer like conduct, but I am sorry to find his loss has been rather severe, the swell of the sea preventing, at times, the opening of the lower deck ports. To Captain LUKIN of the Mars, I feel thankful, for his steady conduct and attention; and have also to express my satisfaction at the endeavours of Captains BOYLES, KING, Sir JOHN GORE, and MASSFIELD, in getting up with the enemy, although they could not succeed. The Revenge, from being well to windward, became considerably astern after bearing up. To Lieutenant CASS, First of the Centaur, I have to add my approbation of his judicious conduct before and after my leaving the deck, and I also feel much pleased at the steady exertions of all my officers, seamen, and marines. I enclose herewith, a return of the killed and wounded, and I also annex a list of the enemy's ships captured, and will make a return of their loss as soon as possible.
I have the honour to be, &c. SAMUEL HOOD.
[Here follow returns of the British killed and wounded, amounting to 9 killed, 32 wounded.—Mr. BIDDEN, midshipman of the Monarch, was the only officer killed.—Captain HOOD, K. B. Lt. ANDERSON, Mr. DUVEY, and Mr. GARRY, were wounded.]
French vessels captured.
La Gloire, 46 guns, Capt. SOLEIL, commander. L'Indefatigable, 44 guns, Captain GIRADIER; La Minerve, 44 guns, quite new, Captain COLET; L'Armide, 44 guns, Capt. LANGLOIS;—all remarkably fine ships, of large dimensions, mounting 28 French 18-pounders on their main decks, 30 pound caronades on their quarter-decks and forecasles, and about 650 men (including troops) in each ship, full of stores, arms, ammunition, provisions, &c. destined for an expedition.
La Thamis, 44 guns, old, escaped. La Sybille, 18 do. new, do. La Lynx, 18 do. do. do.
Another French frigate taken.
Admiral LOUIS in a letter dated at sea, Sept. 29, 1806, on board the Canopus, informs, that on the 17th Sept. in lat 47°, 17' long. 6°, 62', he fell in with, and after a chase of 17 hours, captured the French frigate Le President, of 44 guns, 530 men, commanded by Captain GALLIER LABROSSE. She was one of M. L'HERMITT's squadron, which did so much damage to the English privateers on the coast of Africa, and in company with the Regulus of 80 guns, La Sybille, and a corvette, left Martinique in July last for Europe, and separated in a gale of wind, Aug. 20, 1806, in lat. 22°, 26', long. 55°. Le Regulus has not since been heard of. La Sybille, dismasted, is at Norfolk. CENT.]
Miscellaneous.
OCT. 6, 7, 1806. The French and Dutch troops in Holland, it should seem, are not to take a part in the approaching campaign.—King LOUIS is apprehensive that some of our expeditions may make his kingdom a visit.
The French Minister, LA FOREST, was at Berlin, the 27th Sept. All the Ministers, &c. are following the King of Prussia to his head-quarters.
A Vienna article, of Sept. 20, asserts, that Russian troops had arrived on the frontiers of Silesia, and that very considerable bodies were on the frontiers of Galicia; where Prince CONSTANTINE was expected.
The frigates taken by Sir SAMUEL HOOD, have arrived at Plymouth and Portsmouth. Sir SAMUEL received his wound
from a shot, just after he had raised his arm, in giving some orders. The ball struck about half way between the elbow and wrist; but the arm has been amputated above the elbow.
Earl PERCY, son of the Duke of Northumberland, is elected a Representative for Westminster, without opposition.
FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 27.
The Moniteur announces, That his Majesty the Emperor has sent the following letter to the King of Bavaria:—
SIR, MY BROTHER,
It is more than a month since Prussia has armed, and it is known to all the world that she arms against France and against the Confederation of the Rhine. We have fought for the motives of these armaments without being able to discover them. The letters written to us by his Prussian Majesty are amicable; his Minister for Foreign Affairs has notified to our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, that he recognises the Confederation of the Rhine, and that he has no objection to the arrangements made in the South of Germany.
Are the armaments of Prussia the result of a coalition with Russia, or merely of the intrigues of the different parties which exist at Berlin, and the irresolution of the Cabinet? Have they for their object to force Hesse, Saxony, and the Hanseatic towns, to contract obligations which the two latter powers do not appear to wish to form? Does Prussia wish to compel us ourselves to depart from the declaration which we have made, that the Hanseatic towns shall not enter into any particular confederation? a declaration founded upon the commercial interests of France, and of the South of Germany, and upon what has been made known to us by England, that any change in the present situation of the Hanseatic towns, will be a great obstacle to a general peace. We have also declared that the Princes of the Germanic Empire, who were not comprised in the Confederation of the Rhine, ought to be at liberty to consult only their own interest and convenience, that they ought to be regarded as perfectly free, that we would do nothing to draw them into the Confederation of the Rhine, but that we would not suffer them to be forced to do any act which would be contrary to their inclination, their policy, or the interests of their people. Ought this just declaration to have so wounded the Cabinet of Berlin, that we should be obliged to retract it? Amongst all these motives which is the true one we cannot divine, and the future only can reveal the secret of a conduct so strange as it was unexpected. A month has elapsed without our taking notice of it. Our inattention has only served to embolden all those fire-brands who wish to precipitate the Court of Berlin into a most inconsiderate contest.
At length the armaments of Prussia have led to the case provided for by one of the Articles of the Treaty of the 12th of July, and we think it necessary that all the Sovereigns who composed the Confederation of the Rhine, should arm to defend its interests, to guarantee and maintain the inviolability of its territory. Instead of 200,000 men, which France is bound to furnish, she will furnish 300,000; and we have just given orders that the troops necessary to complete that number shall be transported with speed to the Lower Rhine. The troops of your Majesty being still on a war footing, we invite your Majesty to issue orders that they may be put in a state to march without delay, with all their field equipage, in order that they may contribute to the defence of the common cause, the success of which we dare believe will correspond with its justice, if at length, contrary to our wishes, and even contrary to our hopes, Prussia should compel us to repel force by force.
We pray God, my Brother, that he may have you in his holy and worthy keeping. NAPOLEON.
Given at St. Cloud, 21st September, 1806.
Counterfigured The Minister of Foreign Affairs, CH: MAUR. TALLEYRAND, Prince of Benevento.
OCT. 5. The Prussian Minister, M. Von Knobelsdorff, left this city in the night between the 1st and 2d inst. and followed Bonaparte to Mentz, (or, as some of the maps spell it Mayence, situated at the confluence of the Mayn into the Rhine, but a short distance from Hanau, the chief place of one of the King of Prussia's allies, the Elector of Hesse.)
When the French Minister at Berlin, applied for his passports, he was informed that he should receive them from his Prussian Majesty, at head-quarters.— These two articles indicate another attempt at negotiation before an appeal is made to the sword.
GERMANY. HAMBURG, SEPT. 27. Movements of Prussia.
The King of Prussia has left Berlin to put himself at the head of his army! —On the 22d, he was at Magdeburg, on the way to his head-quarters at Naumburg, (in the centre of Saxony.) His Queen accompanied him; but she is to return immediately to Berlin. M. LA FOREST, the French Minister, has demanded passports to quit Prussia, but he received in answer, that he should receive them when Gen. KNOBELSDORFF, the Prussian Minister in Paris, received his. The Marquis LUCCHESINI, had arrived in Prussia from Paris. The Prussian army is full of enthusiasm, and burns with desire to 'measure swords with the French.'—A contest with France is very popular throughout all Prussia. The King's army, in the vicinity of Marselay, is computed at 70,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry.—His Majesty has Marshal MOLENDRE with him. Prince HOHENLOHE is in Silesia, with 20,000. Besides these there are separate armies under Gen. BLUCHER, KAERUETH and RUCHEL.
Of Russia.
Russia does not appear to be an idle spectator of the approaching quarrel between France and Prussia. The Russian troops are encamped; and magazines for their use are collecting at Warsaw, (in cidevant Poland) where every preparation is made for an army entering upon a campaign.
Of Sweden.
The King of Sweden has left Pomerania, for Scania, which has occasioned a report, that his zeal against Bonaparte had decreased.—But a letter from Elfsneur of the 20th, says he will return in a fortnight. The Swedish army remains in Pomerania and Lauburg.
It is reported, that the Elector of Hesse has declared himself neutral, and obtained the consent of Prussia in that course; but it is not probable.
The troops which lately broke up from the French camp at Zeist, and advanced to Niemguen, (on the borders of Westphalia) have, in consequence of orders from Paris, retrograded, and reoccupied their former position.
SEPT. 30. The French Minister, La Forest, has every thing in readiness at Naumburg for his departure for France. Many of his German servants are discharged.
The Prussians, Saxons and Hessians, are advancing, to act, it is said, offensively.
The Marquis Lucchesini, from France, has declared, that the differences between Prussia and France, will yet be amicably terminated.
The whole French force in Germany, is estimated at 170,000 men!
The Paris papers mention, that Talleyrand, Maret, and Gen. Clarke, the persons with whom Lord Lauderdale had most to do, have quitted Paris, to follow the Emperor to Mentz.—So that the tools of negotiation begin to scatter.
BRANNAU, SEPT. 16.
Gen. St. Hillaire, with 9000 men, still occupy this city. Marshal Soult's corps is reinforced to 35,000 men.
RATISBON, SEPT. 22.
Soult's division will remove tomorrow for Ingolstadt. Other French corps are arriving.— These movements are against Prussia.

INTERESTING.
SOME FURTHER PARTICULARS OF COL. BURR'S TREASON.
VARIOUS insinuations have appeared concerning the movements of Col. Burr. We have heard a statement from General EATON, now in town, which he gave in a considerable circle, with no injunctions of secrecy—as follows:
That early last winter, at the city of Washington, Col. BURR opened to him a project of revolutionizing the western country; separating it from the Union; establishing a monarchy there, of which he was to be the head; organizing a force on the Mississippi, and extending conquest to Mexico; and proposed to give him (Eaton) a distinguished military command. E. felt indignant at the proposition, considering it an insult to his honour; but thought better to conceal his feelings than to manifest resentment: and he suffered Burr to betray his whole scheme. Burr had the preceding season made a tour through the western country; had procured accurate charts of every important position on the waters of the Mississippi, and of the country extending to Mexico; had formed an intercourse with sundry influential foreigners in the Spanish territory, and together with some persons of influence on the Ohio and Mississippi, had fixed on a plan of operations. Burr pointed to E. the injury he had suffered from certain observations which had been made on the floor of the House of Representatives, concerning his operations in Africa, and from the delays of Government in adjusting his claims for expenditures on the coast. Here was an opportunity to indemnify himself. A separation of the union would eventually take place—and that country become independent of the Atlantic States. It was a right they inherited from constitution—and nature had situated them peculiarly for the enjoyment of it. The present moment favoured the measure. There was no energy in the Government to be dreaded—and the divisions of political opinions throughout the country was a circumstance of which he should profit. There were very many enterprising men, among us, who aspired to something beyond the dull pursuits of civil life, and who would volunteer in this project. And the vast territory which offered to adventurers, and the mines of Mexico would bring strength to his standard from all quarters. He did not doubt but that inducements might be offered to the army to embark with him. Double pay and double rations—a prospect of plunder and the ambition of achievement would do much with garrison soldiers. E. satisfied himself that Burr was resolute in the project, and put himself on expedient to defeat his views without exposing facts. He accordingly waited on the President, and used the freedom to mention Mr. Burr as a suitable person to conduct our negotiations at London or Madrid. The President seemed to express an apprehension that the confidence was too high. E. thought that Burr, when put on his honour, would act with fidelity—his capacities were unquestionable—and signified that if he remained in this country he would become dangerous. The President did not understand this insinuation. E. expressed himself plainly that if B. were not disposed of, we should, within eighteen months, have an insurrection if not a revolution, on the waters of the Mississippi. The President said “be had too much confidence in the information, integrity and attachment to the union of the people of that country, to admit an apprehension of the kind.”—No further conversation was had here on the subject. But E. took leave, waited on two or three gentlemen of Congress, and detailed the whole plan of Burr. They all agreed that the fellow deserved hanging; but thought the project too chimerical, and Burr's circumstances too desperate to give it the merit of serious consideration. E. said nor heard no more of the affair till he was accidentally informed of Burr's
movements on the Ohio, when he spoke publicly of the facts.
Within a few weeks a letter was received by a young gentleman in Brimfield from his friend in Marietta, stating that Col. Burr had, by his agents, contracted for the building at that place of 15 or 20 boats constructed for the navigation of those waters; and that he had offered commissions to sundry enterprising young men of that vicinity, for a secret expedition, which promised great advantages to that country. As the foregoing statement was examined by Gen. Eaton before it went to press, the public will now be relieved from their suspense on this subject.
A friend of Gen. Eaton, on hearing this detail, asked him how Burr (in case he should extricate himself) would receive the exposure of these facts. He answered “As he pleases. I never solicited Burr's friendship nor his confidence. He ought to have known me better than to suppose me ever sufficiently subject to become the instrument of his ambition. And he ought to have known himself better, than to flatter himself possessed of capacities to seduce me to an act of treason.”
WARREN:
SATURDAY, NOV. 29, 1806.
The crews of the Rochefort squadron, lately captured, are said to have fought bravely; and to have manoeuvred their ships in a masterly manner.
The account lately given of Miranda's defeat, and the loss of the Leader, is contradicted in the last New-York papers. The rumour probably arose from the circumstance of a party belonging to the squadron, and of which Capt. JOHNSON belonged, being fired at by the Spaniards, who succeeded in killing this officer, and about 12 or 13 of his men. [Boston Gazette.]

In Windsor (Vt.) Mrs. LAMPERE, wife of George L. Having died on Sunday, she was buried on Monday; but suspicions arising, her body was taken up some days after, and examined by a jury of physicians, who reported that the cause of her death by blows received on her left side and across her back; that those blows were probably given by her husband, and that his mother was accessory thereto. They were both committed to Woodstock gaol.

FRENCH INHUMANITY.
Some particulars of the action between the Piedmontese, French frigate, and the Hon. East India Company's ship Warren Hastings, on the 21st of June, 1806, lat. 26, 13, S. long. 36, 45, E.
The Warren Hastings was a company's ship of 1200 tons, 36 guns, and 135 men, bound from China home, commanded by Thomas Larkins, Esq. laden with teas, &c. cargo worth £200,000, had lost her convoy a few days previous. On the 21st at 7 A. M. saw a strange sail in the S. W. quarter, on the larboard tack, with an English ensign and pendant flying, made the private signal, which was not answered, concluded her an enemy; prepared for action. At noon the purler perceived the French colours, therefore we no longer remained in doubt; at 10 minutes past noon she fired a gun and hoisted the French National colours, bore up close under the W. H.'s stern, came alongside within pistol shot, poured in a broadside, which was returned by the W. H.—After exchanging several broadsides, the frigate fired, and shot a-head, which gave the ship an opportunity to repair damages, which were very considerable, the fore mast having received a wound, the lee throats, bowlines, braces, &c. shot away. At the first broadside the W. H.'s ensign haliards were shot away, and the purler and one man, in bending them again were shot dead. The frigate again tacked, came alongside, engaging the ship to leeward, and after being warmly received for 25 minutes, again left the W. H. and went after, which gave her a fresh opportunity to repair damages. The main-mast was wounded and rigging suffered much, but no man hurt in this encounter. The frigate came alongside the third time, as near as two ships could approach, and the action was now very desperate on both sides, several of the W. H.'s men were wounded, &c. fore-mast shot away. She however succeeded in beating them off a third time, when after distancing the ship about a mile, the frigate wore and came alongside as close as before—The action was renewed extremely warm on both sides, for about 30 minutes, when the frigate again left the ship, which was very much disabled in the rigging, and main-mast badly wounded; hardly had they time to stopper the rigging and reeve fresh braces, when the frigate again bore down, and the W. H. now gave her the first gun, when the action was warm, with much loss on the part of the ship. The musketry in the tops of the frigate doing great execution, 3 of the W. H.'s men killed and 7 or 8 wounded; the action continued 45 minutes, when fell (3 shot successively striking it) the mizen-mast, which so disabled the guns upon the upper deck, as to render them useless, and the ship as ungovernable. Capt. Larkins was obliged to strike, and hailed the frigate to that purpose. Instantly the Frenchmen boarded the W. H. with the utmost cruelty, stabbed a midshipman 7 times who was attempting to get a few clothes, stabbed the 2nd officer, in the arm, and the captain in the side, and inhumanly dragged him from the round house, and forced him on board the frigate, together with the other officers, treating them in the most inhuman manner, and robbed every officer of whatever private articles they could lay their hands on. They took possession of their prize and towed her into Grand Port, Isle of France.
The frigate appeared to be the French frigate Piedmontese, Capt. L'Epron, carrying 48 guns, and 395 men.
The crew of the W. H. were thrown into prison, and the officers suffered to return home on parole.—They arrived in the ship America, Capt. Stone, from Isle of France and are to embark for England in the ship Romeo. [Newburyport Herald.]

APOLLO'S FOUNT.
ANACREONTIC.
THE PAPHIAN BOY, my blooming fair, Nestles within this heart of mine; And feel how warm he trembles there, Awaken'd by that touch of thine.
Have you not mark'd when infants weep, As fears their little breasts alarm, How soon their murmurs sink to sleep, When folded fast in Beauty's arm.
Love is a child, my girl, you know, Then take him to thy breast of snow; And on that heaven of beauty blest— Oh! let him tremble into rest!
From the MASSACHUSETTS MAGAZINE.
A SENTIMENTAL PICTURE.
HE has gone and left me, cried Delia, as she sat under an oak, and I know not where; he has left me to weep, and languish out my life in misery. Oh that I knew where to find his grave, there would I lay me down, and expire upon the humble sod. Alas! perhaps he was denied the common rites of burial—he may have been mangled to death by a merciless banditti, who had rather leave his body above the ground to be devoured by voracious animals, than to wrap it in a covering, and suffer it to moulder in the silent tomb!
For whom art thou mourning, pretty maid? said a stranger, who had been gazing, undiscovered, at the weeping fair, during her plaintive soliloquy.
My dear Armine, announced she, starting with surprise; he was taken by the Indians in the late war, and I have not heard from him since. He was all friendship—we both loved—here is a token of his affection, (pulling a beautiful miniature from her bosom, and tenderly kissing it) here is a pledge of the sincerity of his heart; it shall be buried with me in the same grave.
Here she paused—her tears prevented utterance—her tumultuous passions and tender feelings, were too poignant to admit the power of speech. Her body was enfeebled, and her senses, at times, were somewhat impaired. After a few moments interval, she again proceeded:
My dear Armine and I had but one heart, we contracted an intimacy in our childhood, and it did not fail to increase as we grew up to years of discretion. My papa disapproved of our connection, because Armine was poor. We parted, but our attachment was too great to suffer a total separation. We resolved to endure poverty, that we might be happy, rather chusing to live amid the difficulties of a tempestuous world, and enjoy the sweets of contented minds, than to roll in affluence, and eat the bread of affliction. But heaven has taken him away, and I am left alone to perish; my vindictive father will not receive me—the cold earth is my bed—and the canopy of the sky my covering. I long to be going, I wish I was with him, and then—
Ah pitiful maid! interrupted the compassionate stranger, with some emotion—would the light of thine Armine make thee happy?
Yes, cried she, sighing, it would—because he loved me, he told me so: he was incapable of deceiving me.—But alas! he is dead, or I should have heard from him before now. Since the fates have decreed the unavoidable misfortune, and since it is the will of providence to cut us off in the midst of our youthful days, I must acquiesce, and say, the will of the Lord be done .—Nevertheless, the few moments I have to live, shall be devoted in shedding tears of sorrowful friendship, and in wreathing a tablet of flowers, which may ere long be placed upon the urn that contains the precious dust of Armine!
"The stranger stood confest'd"—he clasped her in his arms, and thus exclaimed, I am thine Armine, who was lost, but now lives to hush the rising sighs of his lovely Delia. Pardon my silence, I little thought of finding thee under an humble oak, clad in the robes of despair. Forgive me heaven! I live to make my Delia happy.
The bosom is pained at the view of this tender scene. It is enough to remark, that the instantaneous shock, the sudden transition from a state of melancholy woe to the most exalted joy, and the powerful conflict of contending passions, rushing like an impetuous torrent through the soul, subdued every faculty—they fainted in each other's arms, but they recovered, they are happy! PUNCTILIO.
