Latest Foreign Articles.
By the arrival of the Oliver Ellsworth, in 47 days from Liverpool, London papers to the 4th May are received at New-York.
These papers contain a circular letter of Lord Hawkesbury to the diplomatic characters in London, which may be termed a manifesto of the British government in reply to the charge of endeavoring to procure the assassination of the First Consul.
The Traveller of May 2, says—Mr. Addington's administration draws very near to its dissolution, and we understand that he has himself communicated to all his friends both in and out of office, his determination to retire. His majesty is said to have received the information with considerable regret, and to have acceded to a new arrangement of ministers with difficulty. There is not one of Mr. Addington's principal colleagues, not even we believe the Lord Chancellor, or Lord Hawkesbury, who will retain his situation. Mr. Tierney has we can state with confidence, given in his resignation. The list of the new ministers which are circulated in the public offices and the coffee houses, are but the work of certain cabinet financiers, who can have no knowledge of what is going on, and may be considered as mere coinages of their own brain. The only thing decidedly fixed is, that Mr. Pitt is to be restored to his former supremacy in power and influence. We are inclined to think that it will be several days before any new system of administration can be completed. The new secretaries of state will in all probability, be Mr. Fox for the foreign and Lord Grenville for the home department.
BERNE, March 29.
The insurrection that has broke out in the communes on the western bank of the lake of Zurich, has extended itself to the other bank and assumed a still more serious aspect. The deputies sent to Meisen and Steffen, to administer the oath of fidelity to government, have been insulted and maltreated. It is said that the flame is still spreading to the neighboring communes.
The Landamman, from whom the government of Zurich, has demanded succor, has ordered the troops furnished by the five cantons to march, and intends to use the most energetic measures against the revolted communes. The insurrection is attributed to the machinations and intrigues of strangers, and especially to some of the brigands belonging to Georges' party, who have escaped from France into Switzerland.
The insurgents of the village of Waedenschwyl and Gorden, put themselves in a state of effective defence, and as a preparatory measure, have burnt the castle of Waedenschwyl. A courier has just arrived, who informs, that one of the divisions of the confederate army has attacked in three points this association of rebels, and that they have routed them after a feeble resistance; one column entered the village of Gorden the 28th and another pursued the fugitives in the valleys and on the heights.
From the Paris Monitor.
MUNICH, April 2.
Mr. Drake was extremely insolent and shewed much passion respecting the last ordinance of his Electoral Highness, which expelled the emigrants from Bavaria. He demanded in a note, whether the emigrants that were immediately under the protection of England, were also obliged to depart; and whether the guarantee of their conduct which would be given by the agents of his Britannic majesty, would not be sufficient; but he soon changed his countenance: his Electoral highness having received communications from Paris relative to the mean and shameful plot of this Minister, had transmitted to him the subjoined note.
There is reason to suppose that Mr. Drake would deny the authenticity of the papers.—He fancied that 16 gens d'arms had left Strasbourg, in order to arrest him; he therefore informed M. de Montgelas, the Bavarian Minister, that inhabiting a solitary house at the extremity of the suburbs of Munich, he did not think himself in safety, as he feared the faures of the French police: he desired therefore to be assured of his safety.
The answer of the Count being delayed some hours, the disorder of conscience communicated to his mind. He tho't that the 16 gens d'arms were already arrived at a neighboring post; and he immediately set out on foot without taking leave, and without waiting for his carriage. He traversed three leagues, and was not overtaken by his carriage for three hours. He disappeared like a leader of a banditti; but the indignation of all honest men in England, will follow him every where. Miserable man! who has dishonored and degraded the character which all nations, and even the most savage hordes, respect.
(OFFICIAL NOTE.)
The undersigned minister of state of his most serene Highness the elector of Palatine of Bavaria, has received express orders from his most serene Electoral Highness, to transmit to his excellency, Mr. Drake, the printed copy of letters here annexed, and to inform him, that the original of these letters, written with Mr. Drake's own hand, are now before him.
His most serene Electoral Highness is deeply affected that the very place of his residence should become the focus of a correspondence so foreign to the mission in which his excellency Mr. Drake has been placed with him—
and he owes it to his dignity, to his honor and to the welfare of his people, to declare to his excellency, that from this moment, it will be impossible for him to have any communication with Mr. Drake, or henceforth to receive him at his court.
Two of his most serene Electoral Highness's subjects, strongly implicated by Mr. Drake, have been arrested at Munich, for having, at his instigation ventured upon steps reprobated by the laws of nations.
The undersigned is ordered also to declare, that his most serene Electoral Highness knows the noble and generous sentiments of his Britannic Majesty, and of the English nation, too well, to suppose that his conduct on this occasion can be subject to the least reproach. He will hasten to explain it direct to his majesty and to deposit in his bosom the deep regret he feels in withdrawing his confidence from a minister who had been sent to represent his majesty at this court. The elector is fully convinced that his Britannic Majesty will see in this measure, though very painful to himself, nothing but a new proof of the very high opinion which he has of his majesty's character, and of the benevolence of which the electoral house has received so many proofs.
(Signed) "BARON DE MONTGELAS." Munich, March 31, 1804."
"We had reason to expect that Mr. Drake, the British envoy, would have refuted the charges alleged against him—but he has taken another method—He has informed the baron Von Montgelas, that fifteen gens d'arms had been sent off expressly to arrest him—and requested that the baron would inform his court, that measures might be taken to prevent his arrest.—But no answer having been given, for several hours after Mr. Drake expected one; and the gens d'arms having arrived at their last stage of horses, he sat out on foot in disguise, having changed his clothes several times in the distance of three miles." "In this manner," adds the Monitor, "he left his residence like the chief of a band of assassins."
A Paris paper of the 8th of April contains the following interesting account of the manner of Pichegrue's death.
PARIS, April 8.
On the 6th of April, the Commissary of government appeared before the criminal and special Tribunal of the department of Seine, sitting at the Palace of justice in Paris and reported:—
That he had received intelligence from one of the Judges of the Tribunal, whose office it was to prefer articles of accusation against Georges, Moreau and Pichegru—that the latter had on the preceding evening, committed suicide in the prison of the Temple. He demanded that the Tribunal take the subject into their immediate consideration.
A committee was accordingly appointed to investigate and report agreeably to the general usage in such cases; who, having visited the prison and heard the examination of the keeper, ordered,
That the body of the Ex-General Pichegru be inspected by 6 of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the department; and that they certify the cause of his death.
Being carried to the temple, and having there taken the oath prescribed by the laws, the said physicians and surgeons unanimously declared, that being conducted by the gaoler into the chamber which had been occupied by the Ex-General, they found there upon a bed, a corpse which they recognized to be masculine; that the body appeared to be that of a man between 40 and 45 years of age; his height a metre and 78 centi metres; his hair a dark brown; arched eye brows of the same colour; forehead large and bald; clear blue grey eyes; long nose, thick, flat at the end, and hollow at the top, &c. : That after having minutely examined the said corpse, they remarked a circular impression on the neck about the breadth of two fingers, and much marked on the left side; that the strangulation was effected by the help of a cravat of black silk which had been twisted to tightly round the neck with a stick, as to have produced death, that the face was livid, the jaws locked, and the tongue pressed between the teeth; that the extremities were cold; the muscles of the fingers and hands very much contracted; that in their opinion, the corpse was that of the Ex-General Pichegru; and that he committed suicide by strangling himself.
The person of Pichegru was identified by 10 citizens, to whom he was known in his life time, who were severally examined and made oath of the fact.
The soldiers on guard near the chamber where the suicide was committed, the keepers and turnkeys of the prison, were then interrogated as to what they knew of the circumstances attending it; but, (excepting one, who had heard during his watch, about 3 o'clock in the morning an uncommon coughing as of a person under pressure) they were entirely ignorant. The turnkey who had waited on Pichegru at supper in the evening, and had locked him up at ten o'clock, depoted that he had kept the key of his chamber in his pocket from that time until 7 in the morning, when he went into the room to light him a fire, and had found him in the situation above described.
HAMBURG, April 24.
The report of the intended divorce of Bonaparte and his wife is renewed here with great confidence, and it is added, that Bonaparte will then espouse the queen regent of Etruria to which kingdom the states of Parma and Piacenza will be added immediately, and that Madame Bonaparte will marry some other Prince, who however is not named.
STUTTGARD, April 4.
Yesterday Mr. Spencer Smith, English minister to the Elector of Wirttemberg, departed suddenly. He spent several hours in burning all
his papers. The Abbe Pericaud, who had been given to him at London by the Abbe Ratal, to frame the conspiracy, which they planned in France, followed him in his flight.
It was reported here, that Mr. Spencer Smith had a mission relative to the troubles in the interior of France, but we should never have thought that he would have debased his character so far as to embrace it in such an infamous plot as the latter did.
A few days ago, Spencer Smith had sent many bills to Paris; he had also sent some to Zurich; which induces us to believe that he was no stranger to the riots which agitate Switzerland at present. What a public moral! Good God! what a government is that which makes use of the privileges of diplomatic inviolability to blow up every where the embers of discord and crime with impunity! what a government must that be which will have the meanest plots conducted directly by ministers representing their Sovereign!
AUGSBURG, April 6.
The evening before last, Mr. Drake, the English minister at Munich arrived here, and continued his journey. It is thought that he will go to Hamburg, and embark from thence for England. He quitted Munich on the 1st. Before his departure he had a long interview with M. de Montgelas, the prime minister.
LONDON, May 4.
His royal highness, the Prince of Wales on Monday morning, declared to Mr. Caledcraft and others, his determination to throw his whole weight into the scale of opposition. This may possibly have accelerated the decision taken by ministers.

THE COLUMBIAN PRIMER.
HAVING met with a favorable reception in many parts of New-England, is recommended as a cheap, and in a number of respects, the best calculated book for beginners and for common practice. It being called a Primer, has led many, before examination, to an erroneous conclusion respecting both its plan and quality. Its calculation differs perhaps nearly as much from the New-England, and common Primers, as from that of an Almanac; both of which would be equally absurd, put into the hands of one, learning the rudiments of the English language. This book is indeed to remove all such standing inconsistencies, and to prevent another impropriety, viz. that of putting a book of nearly twice the cost into the hands of children, which is worn out before half its contents are seen, or can be understood.

An ORATION, Delivered at Raynham (Mass.) on the late Celebration of the Acquisition of Louisiana, By DAVID A. LEONARD.
Happy in meeting with a production of the kind above mentioned, we take this opportunity of expressing an opinion relative to its merits. Rarely have we met with its equal in the annals of oratorical display. For candor of sentiment, goodness of heart, historical information, and solidity of argument, we feel the utmost confidence in recommending it to the public attention.

NEWPORT, Thursday, July 5, 1804.
We do not, from many words, round assertions, or strong affeverations, expect to gain the attention or beguile the judgment of the public. Possessed of a "just discernment," they are capacitated to see the merits of a party or a cause, and will ever be disposed to justify, espouse, and protect the righteous. The lamentable cry, sophisticated, and set up, in the last refugee paper , must have been, predicated on the numidian principle, that "cold hypocrisy is a state device, a worn out trick!"
They begin with a loud voice, as from adamant lungs, proclaiming that the remarks in our last were nought but a "discovery of malice, mortification, ignorance, and bombastic nonsense; and before they get through, they are found rolling on the ground like a horse that has the bois , and biting their sides, as if to open a way out for the inordinate vermin that torment them."
It fortunately happens, that all our conduct, so far as respects the management of a public paper, is exposed (and would to God it extended further—would that our most secret thoughts were alike exposed) to public view. There is, therefore, nothing left, for insinuation or assertion, on the part of the refugee paper with respect to the principles we advocate, or the manner in which we advocate them. The public will remember the origin—will trace the progress of altercation; and with a quick, and keen perception, mark the shades of merit or demerit which characterize the respective parties contending.
Let the origin of the present dispute be preserved in remembrance; for it is essential to a fair judgment in the issue. We took occasion to remark upon certain public letters reputed to have been written by Mr. Butler, a Senator in Congress from the State of South-Carolina, to the Legislature of the State, by which he was appointed. They had been republished in this town with a view to influence the public mind upon a political question which had recently been decided by the Legislature of this State. And with what intent? Undoubtedly to prejudice them against those in whom they had been disposed to place a confidence. Were those remarks illiberal? Let those who have seen them, and are disposed to speak the truth (this implies an exception of the refugee paper ) take upon them to say.
The refugee paper ! In the course of those remarks, we happened to denominate it. And are we not on every principle fully justified in doing it? Whatever disposition we might feel to refrain from calling them by that name which best disclosed their true character, is not their accustomed insolence toward us enough to vacate that disposition? How often, and with the most spiteful insinuations of malevolence have they called this "the Jacobin paper." Did we ever ask them for "an explanation and application of the term?" No: It passed like the sun-wind which we regard not. Indeed, it is a name in which we begin to exult: And sure it is, that if they use it much longer as a term of reproach and opprobrium, it will become in itself supremely honorable. They are welcome to the other, and to make it, on their part, as honorable as they can.
Knowing that their question was impertinent; that if persisted in, it would inevitably recoil upon them to their confusion and sorrow; we were disposed to wave an immediate compliance with their request. Stupidly conceiving that this involved a disdiction, they came out with the invulnerable air of Achilles , intituted an accusation of "a playful attempt to evade ," and insolently "dared" to the attempt. What alternative was left? Was it proper to let them march off with the pretended victory which they had thus arrogated beforehand? What bounds would have been set to their arrogance, and insolence in future? The ascendancy of a coward, like the predominance of little minds, is to be deprecated, and avoided.
We desire to know what was advanced in the course of our endeavors to fulfil the task imposed on us, that was not property, and necessarily involved in the nature of their demand. Is it perceivable that we travelled side to gather thorns to plant around them? Thorns they might have been, but they were the spontaneous growth of the subject, scattered and cherished by the wicked tenor of their ways. Did any thing escape us disrespectful of the man whose "injured ghost walks unrevenged among us?" "Great Pompey's shade complains that we were flow!"
They charge us with persecuting federal strangers! We deny the fact, and put them to their proof. Let them name one instance. It is easy to create bombastic sounds, and raise pretences to excise ill-nature, when hard to make the affection good. Is not our clime as hospitable as ever? Are not our citizens as free, civil, and anxious to oblige its annual visitors? But if they come, it is expected they will respect the laws, and stay their hands from violence, and insult. This is a condition imposed on every citizen. Ought a stranger to violate it because he is a stranger? If any here conspire against the government, shall he not meet detection? If any here unite with embittered partisans to insult and defame a native citizen, shall he be upheld, and supported in it, because he is a stranger? a "federal stranger?" Such doctrine is heretical, vilely heretical, in the town of Newport; and though the editors of the refugee paper may be disposed to introduce it, they must recommend it in the first place by way of experiment, in offering themselves the first examples of its utility.
From what they have said about the inducements of office, it would appear that they or some of their patrons are angry that those officers have not fallen to their lot. This is all it
has the least tendency to prove. For who was ever influenced in his political sentiments by the prospect of an office? Let them name the act, and produce their evidence, and then, and not till then, will they be properly before the Public. Offices in this Country at present (and God grant it may ever continue so) are properly the gift of the People. They are the rightful sovereign and the source of all appointment. They will, undoubtedly, remove those whom they have appointed, whenever they become convinced that their confidence has been abused by them, and appoint others more worthy of that confidence, and better able to serve them. When this shall be the case, it is devoutly to be hoped, that their present servants will retire in a respectful and becoming manner, grateful for past favors, equally well disposed towards the country and their constituents, and perfectly free from any symptom of malignant revenge on account of the dismissal.
The refugee paper it seems, for the want of room last week, was obliged to twist off its yarn before it had got to the end of the thread; but faithfully promises a future prosecution of the subject, and pledges itself to prove that the late change of administration has operated to the disadvantage of the town of Newport. The Editors of that paper have so often falsified their word with respect to promises of this nature, that there is little or no dependence to be placed on their present one. We, therefore, can only say, that we shall, at any time, be happy to meet them on this ground; and without making a vaunting promise beforehand of what we will do shall content ourselves with observing, that it will not be difficult to render this position as clear as a sunbeam—that they have voluntarily marked out to themselves a task, which their utmost ingenuity can never fulfil. A man accustomed to common honesty in his dealings, is apt to think it of some consequence to fulfil his old promises before he makes any more; and in a more especial manner if the last are to operate against a punctilious, and regular discharge of the first. What was it the refugee paper promised the week before last, in a paragraph under the Newport head? They have forgot, undoubtedly! So in a few days they will forget their present one, and make some other! These are refugee tricks .
We shall not imitate that paper by concluding with a servid exhortation; but leave every one to the bias of his own deliberate judgment, and the dictates of his own natural understanding, upon the maturest reflection, to appreciate the merits of what has been here advanced.
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
Yesterday (the 4th of July) being the 29th anniversary of our National Freedom, was celebrated in this town in a manner becoming an event so illustrious and interesting to mankind.
The day was fitly honored by discharges of cannon, the display of colours in various parts of the town, and the general attendance of the citizens. A procession was formed, as mentioned in our last, which was numerous and respectable, and which marched through the principal streets of the town, preceded by a Band of Music, who did honor to themselves and the occasion. When arrived at the second Baptist Meeting-House, after having entered, the Declaration of Independence was read by P. M. MUMFORD, Esq. a well adapted prayer was made by the Rev. Mr. EDDY, and a pertinent, candid, and very appropriate Oration was delivered by the Rev. JOSHUA BRADLEY. Excellent vocal music, of which Mr. SAMUEL HOWLAND took the lead, graced the celebration, and afforded much pleasure to the audience. After the Oration, a salute was given from Fort Wolcott of 17 guns. The procession then returned to the State-House, where a large company of citizens sat down to a sumptuous entertainment, prepared by Capt. R. BARKER.
CONSTANT TABB, Esq. officiated as President, and Gen. SIMEON MARTIN, as Vice-President. After dinner, the following toasts were given:
 1. The People—May all national rulers remember these truths, that government was established for man, not man created for government—that the public will is its only legitimate origin, and the public good its only permanent object.—[9 cheers.]— Tale, Hail Columbia.  2. The day we celebrate—Sacred to liberty, dear to Americans, terrible to tyrants.—[6 cheers.]— Jefferson and Liberty.  3. The unconquerable spirit of our fathers—which encountered an ocean, which cultivated a wilderness, which resisted a tyrant, and established a world.—[3 cheers.]— God of Love.  4. The little mountain of St. Marino—When liberty was persecuted by kings, she generously offered her an abode, and erected to her an altar.— The Graceful Mouse.  5. The deceased Heroes of the Revolution—no pitiful mausoleums are necessary; to perpetuate their names; they will live, in the imperishable grandeur of their actions, and in the hearts of their countrymen.— Washington's March.  6. The old Jerly—May the remain an eternal monument of the cruelty of despots, and of the constancy of freemen—of that infernal malice, which could sport with the rights of the captive, and of that glorious determination, which could prefer death to slavery.— Refugee Captive.  7. The Battle of Lexington—The infant prattle of our Country, foretold the energy of its mammoth—young and undisciplined, we tore our laurels from the brow of the veteran.—[6 cheers.]— Bunker Hill.  8. THOMAS JEFFERSON—To assertions, he opposes facts—to detraction he opposes virtue—raised to power by a nation's will, he has outstripped a nation's expectations.—[9 cheers.]— Jefferson's March.  9. Agriculture—In the stormy moments of our Revolution, liberty hovered under the protecting arm of the bold, and hardy, and unco- 
rupted, and free of our Country.—[3 cheers.]— Far Far Away.
10. Commerce—May wealth be the reward of our enterprise, not the consequence of our cruelty—may it be obtained honorably, from other nations, not purchased with their blood—may we consider the world as a great family, not make it a great slaughter-house.—[3 cheers.]— America, Commerce and Freedom.
11. Undbiased Elections—The man, who purchases your vote, purchases your freedom—bribery plunges a dagger in the heart of liberty, and destroys whom it corrupts.—[6 cheers.]— Barr's March.
12. The present administration of the general government—A diminution of debt, and a diminution of taxes—respectability abroad, and prosperity at home—advantageous treaties, and splendid acquisitions, are irresistible arguments.—[6 cheers.]— Never tell now.
13. The Constitution of the United States of America—We are now trying the soundness of a principle, which has been strengthened by years, and supported by experience, will shake all the thrones of the earth.—[6 cheers.]— The Cuckoo's Nest.
14. Union—That powerful principle, which binds the North to the South—the Mississippi to the Atlantic—by it we established our independence, and by it only, can we maintain it.—[6 cheers.]— Friendship.
15. The Militia—where the people have no rights, there must be standing armies—where they have rights, they alone are able, and ought to defend them.—[3 cheers.]— Yankee Doodle.
16. The State of New Hampshire—She has honorably recognized such principles, for which she gloriously contended—the spirit of '76 may sleep—but it is indestructible.—[6 cheers.]— On the Road to Bunker.
17. The virtues, and the sufferings; the victories and the wounds of our Fathers—in holy gratitude, an enlightened posterity will annually gather around their tombs.— Dead March.
VOLUNTEERS.
By the President—The Orator of the Day. After the Hon. CONSTANT TABB retired, By the Vice President—The President of the Day—The steady Republican. After General MARTIN retired, By Mr. Hazard—The Vice-President of the Day—The man who disregards the little fashion.
The minority—Equal power in Elections, and equal rights under the Laws.
By Mr. Ellery—The Union—'Tis not the "Dominion of Virginia," nor the "Dominion of Massachusetts," but the DOMINION OF THE CONSTITUTION—that secures to the small State of Rhode Island her equal rights.
By Mr. Bish—The late Dr. PRENTISS—The profound Philosopher, the Universal Scholar, and the warm and inflexible Friend of the whole human race—may the Americans be as just to his memory, as the French nation have been to that of our immortal FRANKLIN.
During the whole celebration, the greatest harmony and good order was observed, and the day was closed by a discharge of 17 cannon in front of the State House.
COMMUNICATION—EXTRA.
Grave parson Shaw, Who reads the law, Has lately took up writing! The Mercury, That's Refuge,
Exults in his inditing. A Correspondent congratulates the Mercury on its new acquisition of morals, talents, and learning. The remarks it contained last week, upon the notice that had been taken of the mistake of Dr. Morse, in a late Palladium, were extremely pertinent, and proved incontrovertibly, that the mistake of Dr. Morse, was of no kind of consequence at all, and ought certainly to have passed unnoticed. When an attempt is made to put such a man as Dr. Morse right, it seems to be a kind of stumbling block to his fame and reputation for truth and infallibility. It ought, therefore, never to be attempted.
CLERICUS.
British supply Bill—On the 13th April, the British House of Commons being resolved into a committee of supply; the Chancellor of the Exchequer, moved the resolutions for granting to his majesty:
 1. The amount of the estimates for the pay and cloathing of the militia.  2d. 150,000l. for foreign and secret services.  3d. 412,000l. for claims of American Loyalists, pursuant to the 7th article of the convention with the United States of America.  4th. 11,000,000l. to satisfy the amount of Exchequer bills, outstanding and unprovided for, which had been issued under several acts of last session, on the credit of the aids of 1804.  5th. The annual sums to the British Museum and veterinary college.  The resolutions were severally agreed to.
EAST-INDIA—The last accounts from India state, that the British have captured the whole of Scindia's army with all his cities, wns, and fortresses.
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
The British ambassador Drake, dismissed from Munich in the most formal manner. A change in the British ministry certain. The British secretary of state, Hawk-Isbury, has published a full notice of the conspiracy of Mr. Drake.
The change of the British ministry is said to be radical—That Mr. Pitt has had a carte blanche and makes his own arrangements. If this should prove true, a removal of the evil dispositions practised under his form of administration is to be expected—and the war in Europe will again pervade the whole continent.
A report prevailed at Lisbon that the king
and queen of the two Sicilies had been put under arrest by order of the First Consul.
A letter by an arrival at New-York from Lisbon states that the celebrated British admiral Nelson, had died on board the fleet off Toulon.
The new ministry is reported to be, that it is from certain reasons problematical—Mr. Pitt as before prime minister—Mr. Fox secretary for foreign affairs—Lord Grenville, the home department.
The senate of Hamburg has authorized the seizure in their territory of Frenchmen engaged in the conspiracy; the French minister urged the precedent of NAPPER TANDY and his seven colleagues.
The emperor of Germany has forbidden French emigrant royalists from residing in any of the Austrian territories within 50 miles of the French frontier.
It was reported that the British king had again relapsed into his old disorder, and that a regency was contemplated.
Mr. Drake by a singular coincidence of circumstances and time—left Munich on the first of April.
The British it was reported had blockaded the mouth of the Scheldt.
A commercial treaty between the United States and Russia, was reported to be on the eve of conclusion, highly favorable to the United States.
A tax tax of 19 per cent had been levied in Denmark on all property; the reason being a meditated invasion of Denmark by the French.
Mr. Spencer Smith, British ambassador at St. Petersburg was about to return re-inspecta to England.
An embargo which had existed for five months in the port of Ostend had been taken off and 50 or 60 neutral vessels failed.
Price of Stocks at London, May 3, Consols, 16 1-8, 1-4. OMNIUM, 4. prem. Notwithstanding the vast influx of money by the high premiums offered on bullion, particularly dollars; the scarcity of circulating cash increased; and it was the prevailing sentiment that the opulent were secreting the specie. The raw productions of foreign countries, though necessary to their manufactures, were at a very low price.
A communication from "William Tell," is under consideration.
A List of the Town Officers shall be published next week.
Several Advertisements, &c. are unavoidably deferred.

OTIS CHAFEE, Newport, July 5th, 1804.

A DOUBLE ENTENDRE. A CITY fox, with haughty walk, Would often o'er the common stalk. One day, in boots that would surpass The reflexivity of glass, When stepping o'er the broad way street, A pup came barking at his feet. A stander by observ'd the play, And wondered why the pup should bay. A boy replied, with wit acute, "He sees a PUPPY in the boot!" [Farm. Mus.]
THE ISMS. THERE are more isms in the world, reader, than federal ism and republican ism . Aye," you will cry "there is blackguard ism ," but this is not all. There is one still of much impor- tance, that is Idle ism . It is a dangerous dis- order: It is worse to a man or a woman than 7 devils. If thou hast a son or a daughter trou- bled with Idle-ism , which it out of them in time whilst they are young, or it will bring them to poverty or the gallows. You may easily know the disease by its symptoms; it is generally preceded by yawning, stretching and gaping; Lolling is the surest symptom among young girls; and nothing will drive it away sooner than an application of a birch twig. But there is a kind of active Idle ism . Such effects your tip- pling youths and tattling misses. If you see a young man in a tavern when he ought to be at work, he is affected with Idle ism . If you see a young student sauntering through the streets, or hear him whistling a tune at the door of a tav- ern, he is in a dangerous way— Idle ism has got hold of him. If you see a young miss telling tales about her neighbors, depend upon it she is touched with the aforesaid sickness. If she be gaping out at a window, or ogling the young men from the door, while her needle is neglected the far gone with Idle ism . It is a dreadful disease—a good deal like the consumption. Cor- rection, by the whip or the tongue of a parent is the only salutary nostrum. Prevention however, in this case, is better than cure. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Far. Gaz.

Warwick Channel & Road Lottery. WHEREAS the Legislature of the State of Rhode-Island, at their Session in Febru- ary 1804, granted a Lottery to raise the sum of Eight Thousand Dollars, for deepening the Chan- nel of Apponage River, leading from the Bay to the Village called the Fuling-Mills, in War- wick, for the purpose of improving the naviga- tion thereof; and for repairing the Road lead- ing westward of said Village over Ridge-Hill: The subscribers being appointed Managers of said Lottery, and having given bonds according to law, offer to the public the following Scheme:  CLASS FIRST.    1 Prize of 1000 Dollars, is  1000    2  500    20  100    42  48    60  32    70  24    125  16    2494  8    1 First drawn Number 1st day  112    1 Do.

Do. 3d day  108    1 Last drawn Number,  104    2818 Prizes.     5182 Blanks.     8000 Tickets, at 4 Dollars each  32000    The prizes will be subject to a deduction of only 12 1/2 per cent. All prizes under 48 dol- lars will paid in 60 days; the others in 90 days after drawing. Such as shall not be demanded within 9 months, will be considered as generous- ly given for the purpose of said Lottery, and appropriated accordingly. It is confidently expected, that the great advantages which will naturally result to the community at large by encouraging so laudable an undertaking in facilitating navigation, &c. will induce a rapid sale of the Tickets, and ena- ble the Managers to issue the Second Class, with- out much delay. The low price of the Tickets, the many valuable prizes, the small deduction in comparison with some other lotteries, and there not being a blank to a prize, are strong inducements for people of all classes to become adventurers. All those who draw a prize in the First Class will be entitled to a Ticket in the second, which will be considered as payment of 4 Dol- lars, and the remainder to be paid in money. A list of the fortunate numbers will be publish- ed in two or more of the newspapers printed in this State. THOMAS ARNOLD (S. B.) HENRY REMINGTON, THOMAS WARNER, } Mana- THOMAS RELPH, } gers.
