Treasury Report.
THE following Report was made to Congress, the 5th December, 1806, by ALBERT GALLATIN, Esq., Secretary of the Treasury.
REPORT.
IN obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act entitled "An act to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following
REPORT AND ESTIMATES.
REVENUE AND RECEIPTS.
The net revenue arising from duties on merchandise and tonnage which accrued during the year 1806, amounted, after deducting that portion which arose from the additional duties, constituting the Mediterranean fund to 12,673,458 Dollars.  And that which accrued during the year 1805, amounted, after making a similar deduction (as will appear by the statement (A) to 13,083,823 Dollars.
It is ascertained that the net revenue which has accrued during the three first quarters of the year 1807, exceeds that of the corresponding quarters of the year 1806; and that branch of the revenue may, exclusively of the Mediterranean fund, be fairly estimated for the present at thirteen millions of dollars.
The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several species of merchandise, and other sources, from which that revenue was collected, during the year 1806.
It appears by the statement (C) that the sales of the public lands, have, during the year ending on the 30th September, 1806, exceeded 473,000 acres. The actual payments by purchasers, have during that period amounted to 350,000 dollars, of which sum near 700,000 dollars have been paid in specie, and the rest in stock of the public debt. The specie receipts from that source may, after deducting charges and the five per cent. reserved for roads, be estimated for the ensuing year at five hundred thousand dollars.
The receipts arising from the permanent revenue of the United States, may, therefore, without including the arrears of direct tax and internal revenues, the duties on postage and other incidental branches be computed for the year 1807, at thirteen millions and five hundred thousand dollars. 13,500,000 Dollars.
And the payments into the Treasury, during the same year on account of the temporary duties, constituting the Mediterranean fund, are estimated at one million of dollars. 1,000,000 Dollars.
Making in the whole an aggregate of fourteen millions and five hundred thousand dollars. EXPENDITURES.
The permanent expenses are estimated at eleven millions four hundred thousand dollars, and consist of the following items, viz.
 1. The annual appropriation of eight millions of dollars for the payment of the principal and interest of the public debt, of which sum not more than 5,600,000 dollars will, for the year 1807, be applicable to the payment of interest, 8,000,000 Dollars.  2. For the civil department, and all domestic expenses of a civil nature including invalid pensions, the light-house, and mint establishments, the expenses of surveying public lands, the fourth instalment of the loan due to Maryland, and a sum of 30,000 dollars to meet such miscellaneous appropriations, not included in the estimates, as may be made by Congress, 1,150,000 Dollars.  3. For expenses incident to the intercourse with foreign nations, including the permanent appropriation for Algiers, 200,000 Dollars.  4. For the military and Indian departments, including trading houses, and the permanent appropriations for certain Indian tribes, 1,150,000 Dollars.  5. For the naval establishment, 900,000 Dollars. 
The extraordinary demands for the year 1807, already authorised by law, amount to two millions, seven hundred thousand dollars, viz.  The balance of the American claims assumed by the French convention, which remained unpaid on the 30th of September last, amounted to 700,000 Dollars.  And the two millions of dollars appropriated by the act of 13th February 1806, making provision for defraying any extraordinary expenses attending the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations, 2,000,000 Dollars.
Making altogether fourteen millions one hundred thousand dollars. From which it appears, that besides a surplus of four hundred thousand dollars, the resources of the ensuing year will be sufficient to meet the current demands; and to discharge without recurring to the loan authorised by the last mentioned act, the extraordinary appropriation of two millions for foreign intercourse.
It is here proper to state, that under the authority given by that act, a credit of one million of dollars has been opened in Holland to the ministers of the United States, appointed to treat with Spain. Should the credit be used, the million will be charged to the proper appropriation; but although the balance chargeable to the expenditure of the year 1807, will in that case, be only one instead of two millions, as stated in the above estimate, the general result will be the same; as it will then be necessary to replace in Holland the million thus employed for a different object than the payment of the foreign debt, to which it now stands charged.
The balance in the Treasury amounted on the 30th day of September, 1806, to dollars 4,558,664 2 cents, and on the 30th day of September, 1806, to dollars 5,496,969 77 cents. But it will on account of the heavy payments to be made in the course of this month, for the public debt, be probably reduced on the first of January 1807, to a sum not much exceeding four millions of dollars.
PUBLIC DEBT.  The annexed note of the proceedings of the commissioners of the sinking fund, marked (B) shows that a considerable portion of the annual appropriation of 8 millions of dollars was applicable this year to the reimbursement or purchase of the domestic debt: No more than 17,517 dollars and 61 cents, were offered at market price, and accordingly purchased. The reimbursement of the navy 6 per cent stock, amounting to 711,709 dollars, was therefore effected on the 30th day of September last, and that of the five and a half per cent stock, amounting to 1,847,500 dollars, is advertised for the first day of January next. The payment of the last mentioned sum will be made by the Treasury in the course of this month. Although a more than equal portion of the appropriation for the calendar year 1806 falls, for that reason, on the last quarter, it appears by the statement (D) that the payments on account of the principal of the public debt, have, during the year, ending on the 30th day of Sept. 1806, amounted to near 3,250,000 dollars.
It appears by the same statement, that the payments on account of the principal of the public debt, have, from the 1st of April, 1801, to the 30th September, 1806, amounted to 21,203,903 55 Dollars.
The payments on the same account to be made by the Treasury in the course of this month are—  For the reimbursement of five and a half per cent stock, 1,847,500 Dollars.  For the annual reimbursement of the six per cent. and deferred stocks, 993,389 19 Dollars.
Amounting altogether, to 2,840,889 19 Dollars.
And making the total of principal of the public debt, reimbursed from the 1st of April, 1801, to the 1st of January, 1807, more than 24,000,000 dollars.
During the same period there have also been paid to Great Britain, in satisfaction and discharge of the money which the United States might have been liable to pay in pursuance of the provisions of the 6th article of the treaty of 1794, 2,664,000 dollars; and to the holders of bills, drawn by the minister of the
United States at Paris, on account of the American claims assumed by the convention with France, a sum exceeding three millions and fifty thousand dollars; neither of which sums is included in the preceding statement of debt redeemed.
As the only parts of the public debt which the United States have a right to reimburse during the year 1807, consist of the annual reimbursement of the six per cent. and deferred stocks, estimated at 1,540,707 dollars; and of the four and a half per cent stock, amounting to 176,000 dollars, it will not be practicable, unless purchases can be effected within the limitations prescribed by law to apply, during that year, the whole of the annual appropriation of eight millions of dollars. The unexpended balance, together with the appropriation for the year 1808, will enable the United States to reimburse, on the first of January, 1809, the whole of the eight per cent stock, which is redeemable before that day.
But in order that Congress may have a clear view of the situation of the public debt, after the year 1808, and be enabled to decide on the propriety of making further legislative provision for that object, it appears necessary to state distinctly: 1st. The operations which will take place in relation to the debt during the years 1807, and 1808 & 2dly. The several species and aggregate of debt, which will have been extinguished between the 1st April, 1801, and the 1st of January, 1809: 3dly. The several species and aggregate of debt remaining unpaid, on the 1st mentioned day: 4thly. A comparative view of the revenue and annual payments on account of the debt after that day.
I. The payments to be made, during the years 1807 and 1808, on account of the principal and interest of the public debt, consist of the following items, viz.
   Dollars.     Interest and reimbursement of the six per cent and deferred stocks, 6,688,296 08   Of which sum, the sum required for interest, is 3,512,337 83   And the reimbursement of principal will amount to 3,175,958 25   Interest and charges on all the other species of debt, 3,529,457 50   Principal of the eight per cent, and four and a half per cent stocks, 6,538,400 00   Making altogether, 16,756,153 58   That is to say,   for interest, 7,041,795 33   And in reimbursement of principal, 9,714,358 25   16,756,153 58  
This sum exceeds by only 756,000 dollars, the sixteen millions appropriated by law for those two years and that difference may be supplied according to law, from the surpluses of revenue already accrued, which are sufficient for that purpose; and which it will be eligible to apply in that manner, in order that the United States may not continue to pay an interest of eight per cent, any longer than they are compelled to do it by the terms of the loan.
II. The amount of debt redeemed from the 1st of April 1801, to the 1st of January next, has been already stated to be 24,044,792 74 Dollars.
And the principal which will be reimbursed during the years 1807 and 1808, amounts by the preceding statement to 9,714,358 25 Dollars.
Making together more than thirty-three millions seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, reimbursed between the 1st of April, 1801, and the 1st of January 1809. 33,752,150 99 Dollars.
Which sum consists of the following items, viz.
   Dollars.     The whole of the foreign debt, 10,236,108 85   The whole of the loans formerly obtained from the Bank of the United States, and of the navy six, five and a half, four and a half, and eight per cent stocks, 12,537,600 00   Annual reimbursement of the six per cent and deferred stocks, 10,631,575 67   Payments in various species of stock for public lands, stock purchased, and unfunded debt reimbursed, 353,867 27   33,759,150 99  
III. The debt remaining unpaid on the 1st day of January, 1809, will consist of the following species:
   Unredeemed amount of old six per cent and deferred stocks, reimbursable only at the rate of 8 per cent. a year (for principal and interest) on the nominal amount, 27,142,357 21   Taxes per cent stock, 1796 six per cent. stock, redeemable in 1809, 19,019,481 56   Louisiana stock, reimbursable in four annual instalments, in the years 1818, 1819, 1820, and 1821, 80,000 00   11,259,000 00   57,250,000 77  
Amounting altogether to near fifty seven millions and five hundred thousand dollars.
The Louisiana Stock cannot be reimbursed before the period fixed by the contract; the gradual operation of the annual reimbursement will extinguish the old six per cent. to the year 1818, and the deferred stock in 1821; after which year, the only remaining interest will be the interest on the three per cent. stock, which in its present shape, may be considered as irredeemable. Purchases cannot be relied upon, as the application of even an inconsiderable sum would raise the stock above the prices limited by law. It follows that all the species of debt, on which the entire annual appropriation of 8,000,000 of dollars could operate, will have reimbursed prior to the year 1809; that the remaining debt cannot, without some modification assented to by the public creditors, be more rapidly or completely discharged, than is here stated: and that the annual payments on that account, will, after the year 1808, and prior to the year 1818, be reduced to the interest and annual reimbursement, amounting to near 4,600,000. as will more fully appear by the annexed table, marked (G.)
IV. The revenue derived from customs during the year 1802, which was a year of European peace, was much less in proportion than that of any of the immediately preceding or following years, and yet exceeded ten millions of dollars. As it has been ascertained that the population of the United States increases at the rate of thirty five per cent. in ten years; the revenue derived from customs for the year 1812, may be estimated at thirteen millions five hundred thousand dollars; to which, adding only five hundred thousand dollars, for the annual proceeds of the sales of public lands, will give fourteen millions of dollars, for the total revenue of that year, or for the average revenue of the years 1809—1815. And this must be considered as a very moderate computation, since it does not include the revenue derived from N. Orleans, is predicated on the supposition, that the wealth of the United States increases in no greater ratio, than their population; and does not exceed the sum, which exclusively of the Mediterranean fund, was received last year into the Treasury.
The annual payments on account of the public debt, will, during the same period, amount, as has been already stated, to 4,600,000 dollars. All the other expenses of the United States, whether domestic or foreign, of a civil nature, or for the support of the existing military and naval establishments, do not at present exceed 3,500,000 dollars. The total annual expenditure, allowing four hundred thousand dollars a year for contingencies, may therefore be estimated after the year 1808, at eight millions and a half; which deducted from a revenue of fourteen millions, will leave a net annual surplus of five millions and a half of dollars.
The question now renews, whether a portion of that surplus would not be most advantageously employed in hastening the redemption of the debt: Whether some mode may not be devised to provide, within a short period, for its final and complete reimbursement and thereby release the public revenue from every incumbrance? This can only be effected by a modification of the debt assented to by the public creditors; and a conversion of the old six per cent. deferred, and three per cent. stocks, terms mutually beneficial, into a common six per cent. stock redeemable within a limited time, has appeared the most simple and eligible, if not the only practicable plan that can be adopted. For its details a reference is respectfully made to a letter written in January last, to the chairman of the committee of ways and means, a copy of which marked (R) is annexed. It will only be necessary to state, that if such a plan should be sanctioned by Congress, and accepted by the creditors, those several species of debt amounting on the 1st of January, 1809, to something more than forty six millions of dollars, would be converted into a six per cent. stock, amounting to less than forty millions of dollars; which the continued annual appropriation of eight millions of dollars, would (besides paying the interest on the Louisiana debt) reimburse within a period of less than seven years or before the end of the year 1815, as will appear by the table marked (H.)
The total annual expenditure for those seven years would then, allowing still 3,500,000

dollars for current expenses, and 40,000 dol- lars for contingencies, amount to something less than twelve millions of dollars, would still leave after the year 1808 a clear surplus of more than two millions of dollars, applicable to such new objects of general improvement of national defence, as the legislature might di- rect, and existing circumstances require. And after the year 1815, no other incumbrance would remain on the revenue, than the interest and reimbursement of the Louisiana stock the last payment of which in the year 1821 would com- plete the final extinguishment of the public debt. All which is respectfully submitted.

NINTH CONGRESS.—SECOND SESSION.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY, DECEMBER 1.
BOTH Houses of Congress this day formed a quorum, and appointed a committee to wait on the President, notifying their being ready to receive any communication he might have to make.
Mr. Elliot moved that the House proceed to the appointment of the standing committees. The Speaker (Mr. Mason) reminded the House that there lay on the table, from last session, a motion (of Mr. J. Sloan) for alter- ing the rules of the House, so that the committees should be selected by ballot and appoint their own chairman. This motion must be disposed of, on the present occasion, first.
At the request of Mr. Allison, Mr. Sloan withdrew his motion, and he moved that the House proceed to the appointment of the stand- ing committees by ballot.
Mr. J. Clay opposed this motion, and moved to strike out the words "by ballot." Former experience, he said, proved that this mode of proceeding would be productive only of a fruitless consumption of time, that nearly the whole week might be spent in that mode of selection; and that when it was made, motives very different from the ends of the appoint- ment might be found to influence the choice. He referred to the appointment of the mana- gers on Chase's impeachment, in illustration of his observations.
On the question to strike out the motion of Mr. Clay was carried—Ayes 44—Nays 42.
Mr. Dowson, reported, from the commit- tee appointed to wait on the President, that he would send a message the next day, at noon.
TUESDAY, DEC. 2.
The following message from the executive of the United States, was presented to both Houses of Congress, this day at noon, by the President's private secretary, Mr. Coles.
[The Message was published in the Herald of the 13th ult.]
After the Message had been read, an or- der was passed for printing 1500 copies of the same; and the commitment of the Message, with the documents, accompanying the same, to a committee of the whole, on the state of the Union.
The usual Standing Committees were then appointed. That of Claims, consists of Messrs. Holmes, Morse, Moore of (S. C.) Belinger, Stanford, Stanton, and Talmadge. That of Commerce and Manufactures, of Messrs. Crown- infield, M'Creery, Early, Darr, Newton, Mar- son, and Richards. That of Accounts, Messrs. Conrad, Davenport, and Cutts. That of Ways and Means, Messrs. J. Clay, (of New-York) R. Nelson, Quincy, O. R. Williams, Mosely, and M'Kissack.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 3.
The House took up the President's Mes- sage; and disposed of its several recommenda- tions, to various committees. Mr. J. Ran- dolph was placed at the head of that, which is to take up the subject of Spanish Affairs.
A second communication was received from the President this day, and immediately acted on. It recommends the expediency of repealing the Non-Importation Law.—[See Herald of the 13th ult.]
The Rev. Mr. Gayer was appointed chap- lain to the Senate; and the Rev. Mr. Elliot, to the House.
THURSDAY, DEC. 4.
A bill, for repealing the Non-Importa- tion Act, was read twice, and referred to a Committee of the whole, for to-morrow.— [This bill provides, "that all penalties, fines and forfeitures, which have been incurred by the provisions of the act, shall be respectively remitted."]
FRIDAY, DEC. 5.
The bill for repealing the Non-Importa- tion Law, was called up, and debated this day. The principal difficulty arose in fixing the pe- riod of its suspension. Mr. J. Randolph mov- ed that the act be suspended until the 31st De- cember, 1807. This was negatived, ayes 48, nays 62; after some further discussion, the fur- ther consideration of the bill was postponed un- til to-morrow. [The bill will certainly pass; but either in a limited form, or left to be con- trolled by the success of our present negotiations with England.]
Mr. Thomas (of New-York) has called for the reading of the letters from our Minis- ters at London, and the other papers accom- panying the message. Mr. Tracy, 100 of the Senate, has moved, that the President cause to be laid before that body such information, docu- ments, papers and correspondence as may be in his power, relative to the subject of his mes- sage of the 3d inst. recommending a suspension of the Non-Importation Act.
SATURDAY, DEC. 6.
The Non-Importation Suspension Bill was passed this day. Ayes 101—Nays 5. The period of suspension is July 1, 1807.
MONDAY, DEC. 8.
Mr. Crowninshield moved this day, that the Deposits in the several Branch Banks of the U. S. be in future taxed 6 per cent. The re- solution was accepted by the House.
A statement of the Expenditures of 1806; and Estimate for 1807, were received from the Secretary of the Treasury.—[See first page.]
[The reading and committing of pri- vate petitions, occupied the principal part of Tuesday and Wednesday.]
THURSDAY, DEC. 11.
Mr. Clapton, after some preliminary ob- servations, offered the following Resolution:
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Re- presentatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, That the following article be sub- mitted to the Legislatures of the several States, which, when ratified and confirmed by the Legislatures of three fourths of the said States, shall be valid and binding as a part of the Constitution of the United States.
The last clause of the 8th section of the 1st article of the Constitution, which contains the following words: "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the gov- ernment of the United States, or in any de- partment or officer thereof," shall be conformed so as to comprehend only such laws as shall have a natural connexion with and immediate relation to the powers enumerated in the said section, or to such other powers as are expressly vested by this constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.
The House immediately considered the said amendment, and referred it to a commit- tee of the whole on the state of the nation.
On motion of Mr. Stanton, resolved that a committee be appointed to inquire whether any, and if any, what description of claims ag- ainst the United States are barred by the sta- tute of limitations, which in reason and justice ought to be provided for by law, and that said committee have leave to report by bill or oth- erwise. Referred to a committee of seven mem- bers.
FRIDAY, DEC. 12.
After discussing the bill, prescribing the mode of taking evidence in cases of contested election; and dispatching sundry private peti- tions, the House adjourned until Monday, in order to give time for some repairs to be made in the Representatives Hall.
SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
TUESDAY, DEC. 9, 1806.
THE bill from the House of Representa- tives, for suspending the operation of the Non- Importation Law, was referred to a select com- mittee, consisting of Messrs. Mitchell and Baldwin.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 10.
The bill which had yesterday been report- ed without amendment by the select commit- tee, was considered as in committee of the whole house, when Mr. Mitchell proposed a new sec- tion to the bill, empowering the President to give a further suspension to the law beyond the 30th June 1807, until the 31st of December, if in his opinion the public interest should re- quire it. On this the bill with the amendment was recommitted.
THURSDAY, DEC. 11.
Mr. Geyer reported the bill with the new section, and another amendment; and Mr. Mitchell's proposition being thus incorporated into the bill, the whole was ordered to be printed.
FRIDAY, DEC. 12.
The Senate has passed the bill, suspending the Non-Importation Law, with an amendment authorizing the President to suspend it for a longer time not exceeding the 2d Monday in December next, if in his opinion the public good should require it.

THE KING OF PRUSSIA. PROCLAMATION TO HIS ARMY. [Dated in Camp.]
ALL the efforts of His Majesty, and of his Allies, to maintain peace, have proved fruitless; and war is inevitable, unless the North of Germany, and, perhaps all Eu- rope, be abandoned to the will of an enemy who knows neither restraint nor repose, and given up to his plundering armies.
His Majesty has determined upon war, because the honor and safety of the nation were in danger. He would have effected himself happy, had he been able to have preserved peace without shedding blood:—the army, the na- tion, the whole world are persuaded of this; and it is with the greatest confidence that his Majesty leads his troops to battle—to defend their country, and the national honour; be- cause justice is on the side of Prussia.
That the army have long wished for war, has not escaped his Majesty's notice; and if owing to considerations arising from the circum- stances of the moment, his Majesty has not sooner yielded to their wishes, he has never- theless not been insensitive to them, because he is convinced that the voice of honour and of patriotism, which the army has always publicly manifested, have alone inspired them with these sentiments. The whole nation has already ex- hibited the lively interest which it takes in this war; and it is a great consolation to his Ma- jesty, to think, that the event, which we expect
to take place are not only unavoidable, but that they have also the general assent of his people.
His Majesty is convinced that the spirit of honour and of glory, which the genius of the great Frederick has disseminated among the Prussians, will inspire the army with its natural bravery, and enable it to support the inevitable fatigues of war; but in the present war their is object, and consideration still more important.
We have to contend against an enemy who has beaten numerous armies around us, who has humbled the most powerful states, destroyed the most respectable constitutions, and deprived more than one nation of its independence and its name.
This is the fate for which we were re- served. Numerous armies already threaten our frontiers, and are daily augmenting. The Prussian monarchy is threatened with extinction, and even to become the portion of a stranger; and our proud and greedy enemies already reckon upon the division of the North of Ger- many.
We fight, therefore, for our indepen- dence, for our honour, for all that is dear to us; and if God grants victory to the justice of our cause, to our arms and to the courage, which, without contradiction, animates every Prussian, we shall be the saviours of thousands who are oppressed. Undoubtedly there is not an individual in the army, from the Field- Marshal to the private soldier, who can remain unconcerned under the present circumstances. Every soldier who may fall in this struggle, will die for the sacred cause of humanity, and all who survive will acquire, together with immor- tal glory, their share in the gratitude resulting from the happiness, and the tears of joy shed by those who shall be saved from the general disaster.
Who among us can bear the idea of see- ing his country delivered up to the rapacity of a foreigner. But let us farther consider, that in fighting for ourselves, and repelling the most shameful degradation which can possibly menace a nation, we shall be at the same time the sa- viours and deliverers of Germany. The eyes of every nation are fixed upon us, as upon the last support of all liberty, political existence, and order of Europe. That victory which is the object of our wishes, is not of a common cast. The end we propose to ourselves is great; but the means of an enemy intoxicated with his victories are great also: our efforts there- fore, ought to be extraordinary and decisive.
His Majesty will joyfully partake of the effort, the dangers, and fatigues which his troops will have to sustain. He is sensible of what he may expect from his brave soldiers; he knows their unalterable zeal, their intrepid firmness, their indefatigable vigilance and their unshaken fidelity, will never abandon them a moment; and that under no circumstances whoever will they ever forget the high destinies which are to complete their glory. The fate of nations and armies, is in fact, is the hand of Providence; but the Almighty almost always gives victory to a just cause—that cause we will defend. We possess the confidence which it has given us. Our contemporaries will applaud our zeal; and our enterprises will be crowned with the most brilliant success.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, OCT. 14.
Prince Louis of Prussia is no more; he died like a hero; he lost his life on the 11th, at the passage of the Orla, by two bullets, aimed at the star of his order. His sword has been brought to the King, but his body is in the possession of the French. His brother, Prince Augustus, has sent to demand it of them, but it is not known whether they will give it up. Prince Hohenlohe having sent him word to hold out as long as he could, he fought for six hours against more than 20,000 French, though he had but 6000 men. The Prussians lost 1500 men in this affair. The loss of the French, it is said, is more considerable. The sol- diers are in despair at having lost their Prince, and will fight with fury in the next action. It is believed there was a general engagement yesterday; if there was, it was doubtless a bloody one, for the Prussian army is exasperated to the utmost.
Another letter—same date.
The action in which Prince Louis fell, took place between Rudolstadt and Saalfeld, at the bridge of Saalfeld. He had orders to defend this bridge, but not to attack, as the Prince of Ho- henlohe intended to turn the enemy. Prince Louis did not wait, but made the attack. He received a musket- ball in his heart. Count Nostiz, one of his three adjutants, saw him ready to fall from his horse, and hastened to him, when he received a second ball, and immediately fell to the ground. He breathed with difficulty for about a minute, and then expired. Count Nostiz alighted from his horse, and en- deavoured to defend the body, fight- ing like a hero, but was severely wound- ed, and is now at Weimar.
At the departure of the Estafette, which has arrived here from the army, a great battle was hourly expected.
The late Prince Louis was the son of Prince Augustus Ferdinand, the brother of Frederick the Great. He was born Nov. 18th, 1772; and was a Lieut.-General in the army.

Sixty thousand Saxons, and more than three hun- dred officers, have been made prisoners. The Em- peror had the officers assembled, and told them that he saw with pain that their army made war upon him—that for his part he had taken to arms only to insure the independence of the Saxon nation, and to oppose its incorporation with the Prussian monarchy —that his intention was to send them all home, if they gave their parole of honor never to serve against France. That their Sovereign, whose title he ac- knowledged, had acted weakly, in thus yielding to Prussian menaces, and in making them enter upon his territory—but that the Prussians must remain in Prus- sia, and that they should not meddle in any manner in the affairs of Germany—That the Saxons ought to be found united to the Confederation of the Rhine, under the protection of France, a protection that was not new to her—that, since two hundred years, with- out France, the would have been invaded by Austria or Prussia. That the Emperor had taken arms, only when Prussia had invaded Saxony; that it was nec- essary to put a term to these outrages; that the con- tinent had need of repose; and that in spite of the intrigues and the base passions which agitated many courts, it was necessary that their repose should exist, although it cost, to procure it, the fall of some thrones. Effectively, all the Saxon prisoners have been sent to their homes, with the proclamation of the Emperor to the Saxons, and with assurances that no enmity existed against their nation.
The following parole was presented to their Of- ficers for signature:
We, the undersigned Generals, Colonels, Lieut- Colonels, Majors, Captains, and Saxon Officers, swear, upon our word of honor, not at all to bear arms against his Majesty the Emperor and King, and his allies; we take the same engagement, and make the same oath, in the name of the Subaltern officers and soldiers, who have been made prisoners with us, and of which the list is hereto joined, even if we did receive a formal order for it from our Sovereign, the Elector of Saxony.

SEVENTH BULLETIN.
The Grand Duke of Berg encircled Erfurt on the 13th, in the morning; on the 16th the place cap- itulated. By this 15,000 men, of which 8000 were wounded and 6000 sick, have become prisoners of war, among which are the Prince of Orange, Field-Marshal Moleendorff, Lieut. Generals Lattich and Graver; and Major-Generals Legave and Zweitel. A part of 120 pieces of artillery, well furnished, has also fallen into our hands. Every day they collect prisoners.
The King of Prussia sent an aid-de-camp to the Emperor, with a letter in answer to that the Emper- or had wrote to him before the battle, but which the King of Prussia did not answer till after. This step of the Emperor Napoleon, was similar to that towards the Emperor of Russia, before the battle of Auster- litz. He said to the King of Prussia—
"The success of my arms are not at all uncer- tain—Your troops shall be beaten, but it will cost the blood of my children. If it could be spared by some arrangement compatible with the honor of my crown, there is nothing I may not do to spare to precious a blood. There is only honor, which can be in my view, more precious than the blood of my soldiers."
It appears that the remnant of the Prussian ar- my have retired towards Magdeburg. Of all this im- mense and fine army, but a few remnants have re- joined. [To this Bulletin is annexed the capitulation of the town and citadel of Erfurt.]

LONDON, OCT. 13.
Boulogne Flotilla.
An attack, by way of experiment, was made on the French flotilla at Boulogne, on Wednesday night, the result of which, we are happy to announce, answered the most sanguine expectations of those who planned and executed it. Twenty-four boats, each provided with a small quantity of Rockets, or inflammable Ar- rows, were sent in. They took their stations without being perceived by the enemy, and commenced a dist charge which lasted half an hour, and the effect of which was as surprising as it was unexpected. The enemy were so ap- palled, that it was a considerable time before they managed the shore batteries. Indeed their fire did not begin until long after our boats had retired, and joined the ships to which they re- spectively belonged; not a man, of course, was injured by it.
What damage was sustained by the flotilla is not ascertained, but the town is thought to have suffered considerably. This was not the invention of those who directed the enterprise. Unfortunately, however, the rocket-bomb flood, as we understand, too close in with the shore, and not taking that circumstance into account, gave the same elevation to the arrows which was calculated to produce effect at a greater dis- tance. The consequence was, that a large pro- portion of the rockets flew over the harbour and fell on the town. Several buildings were set on fire by them; and, from their fatal and afforded effect, there is little doubt of the com- plete success of the experiment, and the con- sequent destruction of the flotilla whenever it shall be employed upon a large scale, and directed with more precision. It was, we understand, intended that several gun-boats should have been employed on this occasion; but the wind was not favorable for their approaching the shore.
The means employed upon this occasion were as novel as they were ingenious. They were brought to considerable perfection about a year ago, and have since been very much im- proved. They consist, as we before mentioned, in rockets, or in inflammable or PYROTECHNIC ARROWS.
These Pyrotechnic Arrows will fly nearly two miles and an half, and are capable of com- municating their fire for nearly ten minutes af- ter having reached their point. They are pro- digiously large, and have an iron pointed socket at the end, which sticks in whatever it may be aimed at. This socket has likewise a tube, for the purpose of containing the inflammable mat-

ter, with six holes, through which it issues in a state of liquefaction. The stick attached to the rocket is nearly twenty feet long. One hundred of these might be discharged, within the space of a minute, from each vessel; but we are informed only two were fired from each boat, at the same time. The rockets are so constructed, as to emit, on their adhesion to any part of the vessel, a liquid flame. The ingredients of this destructive composition are said to be of so powerful and inflammable a nature, as almost to defy the counteracting effect of water, which for some time seems rather to increase than extinguish the violence of its fury.
In proof of their phosphoric properties, a few of them were last year thrown at Dover by way of experiment, from Archcliffe Fort to the Western Heights, and immediately set on fire a rabbit field, in which they chanced to fall, near the celebrated cliff of Shakespeare. The fuse with which they are provided continues to burn for seven or eight minutes after they are shot off, when some of the rockets explode, and set in the new capacity of shells. They are capable, we understand, of being thrown with almost as much accuracy and precision as a shell, or causer, from a mortar, and with equal effect. These rockets are the invention of Mr. Congreve.

FROM LEGHORN.
A gentleman who arrived here yesterday from Leghorn, gives the following sketch of political affairs in Italy:
"Massena had passed Monteleone, and Verdier was at Catayoro. It was expected that the advanced guard of the French army had arrived at Reggio."
"The French had passed the Turkish dominions and entered Ragusa with 6000 men: Gen. Lauriston had arrived by water in a small vessel."
"The Montenegrins had retired with the booty they had collected, and refused to join the Russians again. The latter had been repulsed in their attack of a fort near the Bocca di Cattaro with the loss of 600 men. Admiral Senaren was still off Cattaro, and had twice refused to give it up. The Russian army had retired to that vicinity. French troops from the Black Sea were daily expected at the Seven Islands."
"Sir Sidney Smith has returned to Messina, with the Chiefs of the Calabrians. Marshal Jordan had returned to Paris. 600 Poles had arrived at Capria; and of the 18,000 men ordered for Naples, only 3000 were permitted to go. In Naples executions were very common, and scarcely a day passed without five or six persons being put to death; which induced several of the best families there to go to Rome."
"A bastion at Malta had been destroyed by the explosion of a magazine. This accident happened during
a parade, and 600 persons lost their lives—chiefly soldiers. Part of the town was damaged, and much property destroyed."

Extract of a letter from Washington, dated December 22.
"This day accounts have been received that BURR has gone down the Ohio, in force. Parties of horse are in pursuit of him, and orders have been given to our gun boats, &c. to oppose his progress."

 1. That a military plan has been formed; and  2. That Aaron Burr is the leader of it.

The British ship John, from Africa, with 380 slaves, has been lost off Charleston; crew and slaves saved. The ship Eleanor, sixty-eight days from Goree, bound to Charleston, with slaves, arrived at Nassau on the 27th Nov. in want of provisions and water, with only a seaman able to do duty, the remainder sickly. Left Goree Oct. 17, all in good health; on the 21st, the slaves revolted and rose to such a pitch, that they were obliged to fire upon them before they could get them below. During the contest, several of the slaves were wounded, and three jumped overboard.—Wm. Parker, a seaman, who was bruised in a shocking manner, in his head, by the slaves, and was unfortunately wounded in the hip by a musket ball, of which wounds he died on the 23d. The Eleanor was to leave Nassau for Charleston, Dec. 4.
The ship Washington, of Charleston, was carried into Surinam about the 1st of Nov. by the Prince of Orange (latter of marquis) Laybourne commander.—The Washington was taken in the River Congo, in Africa, at anchor; the supercargo had gone up the river, when she was boarded and taken possession of by Laybourne, who came on board under pretext of inquiring the news. Mr. Stuart, the supercargo, proceeded to Surinam and arrived about the same time with the Washington, and went to Barbadoes. It was expected, without doubt, that the court of Admiralty at Barbadoes would restore the Washington, with damages, against the captors.
Many Americans, who have been robbed by the infamous Love, will read the following with pleasure.
[From a Jamaica paper, of Nov. 15.]
"Off the Navassa, on the 1st ult. at day light, the Elk descried a vessel, immediately gave chase, during which she carried away her main-top-gallant-mast, fore and main-top-mast, studding sail, boom, and after a chase of nine hours the Elk, in a heavy squall, ran aboard the privateer, when she shortly after went down, and it was with difficulty the crew were got out before she sunk. She proved to be a French privateer out of Guadaloupe commanded by that renegado Englishman Love, who unfortunately escaped by jumping into a small boat which he had placed along side for the purpose; but he must have perished, as the boat was filled with water before she was lost sight of."

THE IMPRUDENT PARENTS.—An American Tale.
(Sketched from real Life.)
SUPERBIA, was the daughter of an eminent merchant in a neighbouring state, who at an early period of life had acquired a decent competence. This worthy member of society, and his amiable partner, conducted their family concerns, with a precise regularity, which although it affords cause of merriment to the thoughtless, is nevertheless, the admiration of the sober and judicious.

Amid the other fancies, that entered Superbia's fertile brain, she conceived that a lover was essential to happiness. In the spirit of contradiction, she accordingly made direct advances, towards a young gentleman who did not stand very high in her parent's good graces.
To flatter you with being the man of my choice, for an alliance with my daughter, would be far from candour. Permit me to say, that you are the man of my necessity. The discovery of your clandestine visits to my child, has induced a momentary resentment. It is past. Excuse my feelings—they were always jealous of female honour.
