NORTH WEST TRADE.
AN English writer on the subject of trade, makes the following remark:—
To the north west coast of America, our trade is but just opening. Furs it affords in abundance. Our woollens and utensils of metal are much wanted by the savage natives. British adventurers from Bengal and from this country immediately, Russians, Americans, and perhaps also a few enterprising Spaniards, now divide this trade. It deserves to be zealously prosecuted from Britain. It may gradually connect itself with the fur trade of Canada and Hudson's Bay. It opens a vast market for the sale of the coarsest productions of our staple manufactures.—Throughout all Europe, and Asia, furs both in the natural state of the fur, and when manufactured into hats, &c. are, even now, in prodigious quantity, and at high prices, consumed; and if they could be more abundantly obtained, the use of them would probably become much more extensive. Furs of all sorts are plentiful in these seas; and if it ever shall be found eligible to form at Nootka Sound or on any other place on these coasts, a British colonial settlement, oil may be made with sufficient profit, even for consumption in Europe. Intercourse with countries in their first progress from savage rudeness to civility must ever be peculiarly advantageous to Britain, because our woollens, leather, coloured pottery, glass, implements of iron, copper and tin, are precisely those productions of art which savage and barbarians are most eager to acquire, and which are best adapted to the accommodation of their rude modes of life.
ALGIERS.
It was stated in the German prints, lately received, that an English and Turkish Squadron was about to sail from Egypt for Algiers, to enforce the regular payment of the tribute due by the Dey to the Porte; the report is in toto erroneous, and is supposed to have been propagated by the Agents of Bonaparte, with a view to promote a negotiation which he has been for some time ineffectually endeavoring to conclude with Algiers.
The fact is, that the Dey of Algiers is not tributary to the Porte; but on the contrary is frequently subsidized by the Ségneur for any assistance he may render to him. The amount of this subsidy is regulated by the nature of the service, and is generally paid in tar, cordage, and other articles of naval stores.
The Dey is bound to the Porte by a political league, offensive and defensive; but the obligations are mutual, and do not effect the independence of the former.
INFORMATION TO NAVIGATORS.
The Phenix (English) Indian, on her passage from the Cape to Calcutta, saw an island lying in lat. 9° 30' S. lon. 80° 30' E. by Lunar observation 89. 14 E. N. E. and S. S. W. 7 or 8 leagues in circumference. This island was first discovered in 1770. by the ship True Briton, and by her named the Island of Apollonia; the land is high and uneven, and may be seen 12 or 13 leagues. Not having been since laid down in any charts, the communication may perhaps be of service to some of our nautical readers. Late London paper.

LONDON, SEPT. 6.—By the Spider, sloop from Egypt, upwards of 6000 letters were yesterday received. Alexandria, was reduced to the greatest want. Menou, had sent out many of the inhabitants, to reduce the consumption of provisions. The garrison was strongly fortified; though it expressed much dissatisfaction at the delay of succors.
Sir R. Bickerton, with three sail of the line, including Le Tigre, had on the 18th June, rejoined Lord Keith off Alexandria; on hearing that the enemy's fleet had appeared to the westward, his Lordship dispatched this little squadron along the coast to intercept them, relieving only four sail of the line to continue the blockade of Alexandria.
Sir R. Bickerton, on reaching his station, sent a brig in shore, when our people were informed by the Arabs, that the French had been there ten days before, and had plundered them of every thing worth carrying off. After an unsuccessful cruise, the Admiral returned to Alexandria.
Our fleet, at the date of these accounts, was perfectly healthy, and well-supplied with provisions; and our army possessing a profusion of every necessary, was much more healthy than could have been expected from the nature of the climate and service.
Yesterday's dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Admiral Cornwallis. By the same conveyance we received letters from the fleet to the 30th ult. at which period our force comprised 27 sail of the line, twelve of which were two deckers. The enemy's fleet, consisting of 35 ships of the line, were in the outer road at single anchor, and in apparent readiness for sea.
It is stated, but with what degree of truth we know not, that the cabinet of Berlin, has announced to our Court, the intention of his Prussian Majesty; to withdraw his troops from the Electorate of Hanover, as immediately as the indemnities on the Rhine, are adjusted.
PARIS, AUGT. 24.—The Consuls of the Republic have decreed, that Citizens Cotton, Aubree, Fromin, Maillard, Megis, Baudroi, Gargay,
Bgard, Michel, the elder, Michel, Guinther, Payern, Fichas, Berne, Baillas, Brunet, Desmaigrettes, Guillemin and Dandieu, transported from Guadalupe, shall be confined in the prisons of L'Orient; and that the Minister of Marine shall take measures to transport them without delay, out of the European territory of the Republic,

NORFOLK, OCT. 10.
INFORMATION TO MERCHANTS.
It is indispensably necessary that all captains of vessels bound to sea should carry with them a Certificate of Property, attested before some notary public in the district wherein the owner resides; many instances have occurred where vessels captured on suspicion, and which would have been cleared if the captain had possessed this paper, have been condemned solely for want of sufficient proof of property. Captain Elliot, who has favored us with this information, asserts that his vessel would have been condemned in Jamaica had he not sworn in court before the Judge, when sitting on the trial of his vessel, that the ship was his own property. A copy of the form of the certificate is left with the printers, for the benefit of those concerned.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 21.
THE Eastern Water Pier of the Schuylkill Permanent Bridge, was on Saturday last exposed from the bottom of the river, to the view of the President and Directors of the Company, and a great number of other respectable citizens. The Coffer dam was pumped out, for the purpose of examining the work, and the part of the bed of the river, contained within the dam, laid entirely bare.
This is the first undertaking of the kind ever attempted in America. It has been completed in six weeks, from the laying the first stone.—Many difficulties have attended the execution, especially in the Coffer dam, all of which have been happily surmounted.
The foundation of this extraordinary work has been laid in a rapid river; and the masonry carried on, without interruption, in a depth of water of from twenty-two to twenty-four feet. The lower course of stone is bedded, and dowelled or bolted with iron in the solid rock. The exterior courses of cut stone, are laid in terrasmortar (which is found to be already completely indurated under water) and clamped horizontally at the joints with iron. The filling of the interior is composed of immense massive stones; many whereof weigh from 3 to 6 tons; well bedded in mortar of common lime & sand, and grouted. The ends are semi circular. The Piers sixty eight feet six inches long, at the foundation; and twenty eight feet eight inches broad. It diminishes by steps or offsets, where it is three, until it takes the dimensions which appear above water, of sixty six feet six inches in length, and twenty five feet in thickness. There are 4 strong chains of iron, stretched across the pier, at proper distances, bolted and worked in with the body of the masonry.
It is now raised three feet eight inches above common low water mark; being the height of the spring of the intended arches. The Coffer dam will be removed, and the pier left, thro' the winter in its present state.
From the perfect success attending this new and arduous part of this great and useful enterprise, we anticipate the satisfaction of seeing this important erection completed. The experience gained, in the progress of the present Coffer dam and Pier, will enable those who direct and those who execute the future work, to perform their respective duties, with facility, and a solid prospect of stability, and economy in expenditures.
Every person of intelligence who has viewed the pier, is convinced of the practicality of a work, concerning which doubts have heretofore been entertained. It is allowed to be a masterly piece of workmanship; not exceeded by any in Europe.
The circumstance of accomplishing an entire foundation on a rock, at so great a depth, is uncommon in any country. The failure of many bridges has occurred from a defect in this particular. Most foundations of Piers, even of the most noted bridges, are artificial, either in the whole or in part.
The plan of an elegant bridge, and of this Pier composing a part of it, was furnished by the celebrated Mr. Weston; well known in this country, and in England, as a Hydraulic Engineer, of extensive science in this branch, and long practical experience.
Capt. Richard, arrived here from Surinam, informs, that he heard, from undoubted authority, the day he failed from thence, that the British merchants had succeeded in petitioning the Governor to limit the importation of American produce, to the articles of Flour, Fish and Lumber. It was understood that this limitation was only to be carried into effect for the period of six months.
ALBANY, OCT. 23.
THE CONVENTION
Have agreed to a resolution limiting the number of the Representatives in the Legislature, in its largest extent, to 150.—the constitution, as it now stands, admits of an increase to 300.
After the present census they are to be increased, on the taking of every future census in ratio of two members a year in the whole State. That is after the next septennial census, an addition is to be made of 14 members, and
to at every successive census, until they amount to 150.
They have reduced the Senate to 24 members, and limited their largest number to thirty. They are to increase in a ratio of one Senator for every four years.
The apportionment of Senators and Representatives among the different election districts, is to be left with the Legislature for the time being.
The convention passed a resolution yesterday declaratory of the construction of the 23d article of the constitution, relative to the right of nomination—and have resolved that the right is concurrent in the Governor, and each member of the Council. Eight votes were for the exclusive right in the Governor. Five for an exclusive right in the other members of the Council.
BOSTON, OCT. 29th.
SPANISH SPOILATIONS.
We understand that the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Philadelphia, having presented to the President of the United States a remonstrance on the subject of depredations committed and threatened from the Spanish port of Algiers, have received from the office of State, official intimation, that the interests of the United States, thus suffering, will engage the immediate attention of the President—that he will order without delay the proper representations and demands to be made to the Spanish government; and will take into consideration, with the solicitude due to the object, how far any other measures, within the authority of the Executive, may contribute to avert the progress of so serious and so UNWARRANTABLE an aggression on the LAWFUL pursuits of our commerce.
NAVAL COMMANDERS.
The following is said to contain a complete list of the superior officers of the Navy, who are retained in service:—Commodore John Barry, Capt. S. Nicholson, *Richard D. D. L. Thomas, Truston, Stephen Decatur, R. V. Morris, A. Murray, D. M'Nei, T. Tingey, J. G. Cross, S. Baron, G. Latte, J. Rogers, E. Preble, J. Baron, W. Bainbridge, H. G. Campbell, R. Derby.
*Superintendent of the Dock Yard at Boston, 1200 dollars per annum, in addition to pay as captain.
†Superintendent of the Dock Yard at Washington, 1200 dollars per annum, in addition to pay as captain.
A letter from Gibraltar, dated Aug. 15, says, an attack from the French and Spaniards is expected. Spanish depredations on the American trade continue. Lt. Muley, who commanded the U. S. Schooner Experiment, is a prisoner at Algiers. The Tripolitan Admiral has offered his vessels for sale at Gibraltar, but has been unable to dispose of them. The Governor has refused a supply of provisions to his vessels. A Tripolitan cruiser was in chase of an American ship, which it was supposed took.
ABRAHAM BISHOP, has written and published a long piece against the New Haven merchants. It is but doing justice to the President's character for religion and decorum, to believe, that, after reading this attack, he will agree in the merchant's opinion of ABRAHAM.
HALIFAX, OCT. 10.
Late on Tuesday evening H. M. sloop of war Pheasant, of 18 guns, Capt. Carew, returned here from a cruise in Boston Bay.
Capt. Carew has been indefatigably engaged for more than four months past, in watching the motions of the French corvette Bricole, and attempting, though in vain, to bring her to an action.—On the 26th ult. taking advantage of a dark night, and a heavy breeze, the Frenchman stole out of the harbor, with the greatest secrecy, and ran away over Nantucket Shoals.
TRIAL OF CAPT. LITTLE.
The trial of Captain Little, on charges alleged against him by the officers of the French corvette Le Berceau, has excited much sensibility in the breasts of every real friend to the American navy. It has been considered a "new thing under the sun," for a brave and humane officer, without the least previous investigation by the government under which he serves, to be deprived of his sword, and his ship, and to be compelled to stand a public trial, on the bare complaint of some of the prisoners he had just captured—whose characters were known to be infamous, and whose conduct to several American vessels, had been proved on oath to have been little better than pirate. Yet such things have we seen:—And on the complaint of such men, has a gallant Naval Commander been subjected to the ignominy of arrest and trial—whether from a desire to refute the American navy from the suspicion of reproach—or from an undue attachment to the French Republic, let the manly, good sense of the American public determine—after taking into view past transactions and professions, and perusing carefully the letter of the Secretary of the navy, on the subject. Capt. Little, however, has stood the ordeal, and has brought forth the weight of his reputation undiminished. From the trial it appears that French invention produced the following charges against him:—1st. Taking money from the prisoners.—2d. Taking other articles.—3d. Indecent conduct in searching the prisoners.—4th. Cruelty in the mode of confiscating and supporting them.—5th. Kidnapping a part of the crew.—But it will give pleasure to the public to learn, that not one syllable of these charges was founded on truth; on the contrary they appear to have originated in malice towards an officer who had arrested the piratical career of the complainants; & the expect-
tation that the government would be more ready to punish than countenance an act so degrading to the French Republic as the capture of a national corvette. The sentence of the Court Martial is as full and explicit evidence of the Court's falsehood and malice in the charge, as it is of the sentence of the Court.—The following is the sentence of the Court; and the approbatory decision of the Secretary of the Navy:—
SENTENCE
OF THE COURT MARTIAL, pronounced on the trial of Capt. GEORGE LITTLE. THE Court, having heard all the evidence, and prisoner's defence, and maturely and seriously considered the whole, are unanimously of opinion, that the charges are malicious and ill founded. The Court do, therefore, unanimously and honorably acquit the said Capt. GEORGE LITTLE of the several articles contained in the charge against him; and he is hereby fully and honorably acquitted accordingly.

THE LETTER.
Navy Department, Sept. 15. THE Act of Congress for the better government of the Navy of the United States, declares, that no person of the navy, shall pillage prisoners on board a prize on pain of such punishment as a Court Martial shall adjudge. In the foregoing case, among several important informal allegations, there is a charge of pillage exhibited against Capt. Little, and it was for the trial of this charge, principally, that the Court Martial was constituted. Not only the honor of the nation, but the honor of this officer, was deeply implicated, and, therefore, called for such a solemn investigation. In this trial, it was the government, that was the party prosecuting. The prisoners were only as the informing witnesses in a criminal prosecution. These prisoners, in a legal contemplation, are not, neither were they, in the contemplation of government, considered parties. They could not have been in any degree benefited by a sentence against Capt. Little; because a Court Martial is not competent to decree a restoration of any property alleged to have been pillaged. It is only competent in such a trial to pass a sentence of acquittal or punishment.
The evidence adduced in this trial clearly proves, that the prisoners on board the prize have been pillaged. It is apparent, that watches, rings and buckles, constituting a part of the dress of the prisoners, have been pillaged from them by some persons belonging to the Bricole; that these articles, at the time of taking them, were not deemed, even by the persons who took them, lawful prize; that they were not reported to the officers of the Admiralty Court as prize, to be adjudicated and condemned; that they have not, at any time since been produced; and that no kind of satisfactory information has yet been given respecting them. But from the face of the proceedings of the Court Martial, it does appear, that the order issued by Capt. Little, were perfectly correct and legal; that he was not, in any degree, a party in this mean and disgraceful pillage, and that the charge against him has no evidence, positive or presumptive, to support it. I, therefore, do approve of the sentence of acquittal pronounced by the Court Martial on historical.
R. SMITH, Secretary of the Navy.
THE foregoing are true copies from the originals on file in the Navy Department. CH. W. GOLDSBOROUGH.
The clown feet so often disclosed in the conduct and writings of the present administration, has never been more visible than in the letter of Mr. Secretary Smith, on the subject of Captain Little's honorable acquittal. Instead of rejoicing as one would suppose an American Secretary of the Navy would at the acquittal of a meritorious commander from the most infamous charges; it would seem, because the calumniators were Frenchmen, that the Secretary had labored to find language to express his disappointment that he was not convicted;—and as he could not, in face of the honorable acquittal of the Court, fix the stigma of "pillage" on Capt. Little, he very adroitly transfers the infamous charge to the gallant ships crew of the Bricole. Thus are our brave tars rewarded.
The Secretary of the Navy admits that no part of the charges against Capt. Little were proved. Such being the case it was his duty to have approved the sentence in honorific manner as he could. Instead of which we find him echoing and reechoing the French charges of pillage, as warmly as if he were the Secretary of the French Navy. In the name of duty and honor, what has the bold assertion of the Secretary that American seamen have been guilty of "MEAN AND DISGRACEFUL PILLAGE," to do with the simple act of approving a sentence which declares Capt. Little's innocence? What has the one, if even true, to do with the other? Would not such a charge, made at such a time, and in such a manner, appear to have come with more consistency from Citizen CLEMENT, than from an American officer to whom the honor of our gallant seamen is committed? (Col. Centinel.)

Portland, Monday, November 2, 1801.
The second trial for the choice of a Representative to Congress, in the First Eastern District takes place on the 7th of December next. For the best information we can collect, it is determined on by the Federalists to unite their suffrages, at this trial, in support of the Hon. DANIEL DEXTER. He is a very worthy and his abilities are fully adequate to the discharge of every duty as a Member of Congress.
On Friday last, JOHN ADAMS, Esq. the American Statesman, and late President of the United States, entered into the 67th year of his age. The day has been celebrated in every place in the United States.
On the 12th ult. Mr. Bicher Olsen, was received by the President of the United States, in the character of Minister Resident of his Majesty the King of Denmark, with which he has been accredited; and on the next day an Esequia was paid to him as Consul General of his said Majesty.
Mr. Madison, the Secretary of State arrived in Washington, on the 11th inst.
Mr. Murray, the American Negotiator, has returned to the Hague, from Paris. Within 30 days there were sixty foreign arrivals at Baltimore.
The Thanksgiving Day of the present year, in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, falls on the 26th of Nov.
Though the party now in power opposed the raising of a Navy, in every stage of that business, yet it must be granted that they have generally employed that part of it, which they did not permit to be laid up, in protecting the commerce of the United States against the Barbary pirates.
The Fraternity of Freemasons at the Hague, presented a gold medal, of 50 ducats, for the vindication of the charges of Burruel, Professor of Law, against that order. The writer of a Dutch English, German or French, "must say that forcibly exhibit the proofs that the society had no share whatever, either in originating or promoting the religious and political schemes which have desolated Europe."
The new discoveries on the western side of America, are not only a new subject of geographical enquiry, but in England and France, a source of the commercial advantages has claimed their attention. We may soon expect to find Colonies in that part of America, immediately the interior country will be diligently explored.
The great Neckar has given a new work to the French that Morality is founded on Religion. The character of this able Philosopher has been variously judged in Europe. Some of the same and opposite parties, but the great majority have been employed against him, and it is not a little to be lamented that they have not been able to balance them with their great names. We shall then find it best succeed upon conviction, than testimony; more upon experience, than theory; more upon facts, than man.
Fashions change, and old fashions rise again. The French Institute has exhibited a paper from the Royal Society, in which he endeavors to prove that the ancient construction of Ships might be rendered of great use in the modern marine. The moderns had unintentionally fallen upon old models, and he adduced some examples of their imitation.

To the honorable the Senate, and the honorable the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in General Court assembled— THE Memorial and Petition of the subscribers, inhabitants of the plantation of FLINTSTOWN, respectfully represents—That the proprietors of said township were not obliged by the conditions of their grant, to build an house for Public Worship, nor to settle a Minister, nor to make the public Roads through their township; and we are at this time desirous of a house for public worship, and a minister; and we have more than twenty miles of county road in the plantation, which are in such a ruinous state that it is both difficult and dangerous to pass them with teams or carriages of any kind, and even with horses, which is very detrimental, not only to the inhabitants of Flintstown, but also to many of the public, as all the towns in the Pigwacket country and Upper Coos are necessitated to pass through the plantation to get to the seaports—The inhabitants of Flintstown are few in number, being less than sixty families, and very poor, scattered over a large plantation of rough, mountainous poor land, over which it is very difficult and expensive making roads and keeping them in repair, altho we have perhaps as great a proportion in length as almost any town in the county, having two county roads which run the whole length of the plantation, one leading to Pigwacket and the Upper Coos countries, and the other to Bridgetown and the upper town on Androscoggin river, exclusive of town ways. In the state in which we now are, we are not authorized by law to raise money for any of the aforesaid purposes, nor for the support of Schools for the instruction of our children, which is a very painful consideration to us who are parents, as we are fully persuaded that a good education is the best if not the only means of supporting a free government—Many and great are the difficulties and inconveniences which we labor under in our present state, but we are induced and encouraged to address the honorable Legislature on the subject, and lay our grievances before them in full confidence, and with the pleasing assurance, that the General Court is at all times disposed to relieve distresses and to remove inconveniences, whenever known to exist in any part of the Commonwealth—Yr. petitioners therefore pray the honorable Legislature to take the premises into their serious consideration; and as the expenses of building a meeting house, and settling a minister, and making the public roads in the plantation, which we believe is generally paid by the proprietors of townships, will fall on the poor inhabitants, we are induced to hope that the hon. Legislature in their wisdom will think it to grant that the plantation of Flintstown shall be incorporated into a town by the name of with all the rights and privileges which other incorporated towns in the Commonwealth enjoy, with an exemption from State and County Taxes for the term of years, in consideration of our indigent circumstances and the heavy burdens we labor under, especially of making and repairing the public roads through the plantation, which will be very beneficial not only to ourselves, but also to the public—And your petitioners as in duty bound shall ever pray. WILLIAM FITCH, AND TWENTY-SIX OTHERS.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. In Senate, June 10th, 1801. ON the petition of William Fitch and others, inhabitants of the plantation of Flintstown, in the county of Cumberland, praying that said plantation may be incorporated into a town— Ordered, That the petitioners cause an attested copy of their petition, with this order thereon, to be published three weeks successively in the Portland Gazette, the last publication to be thirty days at least before the second Wednesday of the next session of the General Court, that all persons interested may then appear and show cause, if any they have, why the prayer of said petition should not be granted. Read and accepted.—Sent down for concurrence, DAVID COBB, President. In the House of Representatives, June 10th, 1801. Real and to be read. EDWARD H. ROBBINS, Speaker. A true copy—Attest, GEORGE E. VAUGHAN, Clerk of Senate.
