Poetry.
PARTING FRIENDS.
THE moment comes in which we sever, Yet tho' far distant soon I'll be; This heart, to friendship true, shall ever With fond regard remember THEE. And if while thus my footsteps roam, Some dear ingenuous maid I meet; Pit-think on her I left at home, And for thy sake the stranger greet. And O! should grief thy peace assail; If foes oppress, if friends betray; If all thy other hopes should fail, Remember him who's far away SELIM.
Late Quitions.
President—Letters lately received in town from Washington, say it is now ascertained beyond all doubt or contingency, that Mr. Jefferson will decline to stand for the next presidency. Hitherto Mr. Jefferson has so conducted and so expressed himself, that it would only be said it was possible he would decline; but he was always cautious not to commit himself absolutely. This, however, has now done. We only hope that before he leaves us to shift for ourselves, he will take care and settle his favorite dispute about the seamen. Monroe after being in labour of a treaty for about three years, brought forth a misshapen brat which the father disowned. We repeat, we hope Mr. Jefferson will not first involve us in inextricable difficulties, and then abandon us in the midst of them. He and his friends promised to do wonders for American seamen—Six years have rolled away, and as yet nothing is done; nothing attempted.

"DOGS OF WAR."
A statistical writer, a short time since, has stated the following to be a pretty accurate account of the forces of the several states, &c. now or recently at war, on the continent of Europe, viz.
   Infantry, &c. Cavalry.     France, 526,000 80,000   Russia, 273,000 49,000   Prussia, 14,000 5,500   Rhenish Confederation, 86,000 13,000   Spain, 116,000 16,000   Turkey, 110,000 120,000   Austria, 164,000 21,000   Italy, 55,000 13,000  
Parson Bentley, in his Register of the 8th ult. in giving an outline of the Governor's speech, astonishes us with the following lucid and connected paragraph:
"In it he exhibits the duty of the executive, the value of character in the judges, and the high value of juries. Some military arrangements are contemplated, to unite the energy of military character with the freedom of citizens, and the spirit of the union is fully appreciated. He directs the public hopes from the diffusion of useful knowledge, and from the sincerity as well as freedom of religious enquiry." !!!
This, we presume, never was exceeded, except by the ejaculation of Coffee, who, when his patience was exhausted by vainly endeavouring to get an edge to his scythe, exclaimed—"Dis grinstone dont make no more impression on my scythe, dan a toad wants a tail, every bit and grain." Atlas.
Sir Samuel Achmuty, the conqueror of Monte Video, is an American. He was born in the city of New York, and is son to Rev. Samuel Achmuty, of that city.
It is rumoured and believed that the order for holding a court of inquiry into the conduct of commodore Barron has been revoked, or at least indefinitely postponed. In consequence, capt. Chauncy has passed through this place on his way to N. York, to take command of the gun-boats there. This looks suspicious. I fear all is not well. Are the government afraid to have the orders of commodore Barron made publick, as they must be in case of an inquiry? The indisposition of commodore Preble is no sufficient reason for the delay. There are other captains who might without delay be called to Washington for the purpose; and the country begins to grow
impatient to know something of the merits of an affair which has excited so much sensibility. They wish to know where the fault lies; and we ought to hope that the government has no interest in withholding the information. [U. S. Gaz.]
We have been favored with the following Anecdote of Captain Chauncy, of the United States' navy. Its Genuine YANKEE SPIRIT will not be unpleasant to our readers at this crisis.—Balt. Ev. Post.
A very short time since Captain Chauncy returned from a voyage to the East-Indies, which, under a furlough, he had made as a private citizen. On the passage home, in the Indian Ocean, he was brought too by a British ship of war of 64 guns, and a lieutenant and 10 or 12 men sent on board the ship. The British officer, an impertinent puppy, without even saluting Capt. C. as a person having any pretensions to gentility would have done, immediately ordered one of his men to stand by the helm. Captain C. justly offended, told his sailor to knock any man down who attempted to take his place without his (Chauncy's) orders. The attempt was made, and the English sailor, by aggravation , paid his tribute of veneration to the nerve of the Yankee. The lieutenant now ripped out as many handsome oaths and threats as a person could wish, and advanced to take the helm himself. Chauncy stepped before him, and upon the Englishman's laying his hand upon it, seized him by the scruff of the neck and threw him overboard into the boat—Upon this the lieutenant and his men went off and Capt. C. was presently boarded by 60 or 70 men, among them the first officer of "his majesty's ship," who abused Capt. C. in words not a little for his treatment to the lieutenant; who replied, I treated the puppy as he deserved. He either did not know his duty and the manners of a gentleman, or would not exercise them. You have now a superior force on board the ship—do what you please. Captain C. then went on board the man of war, where he received some more compliments from the Commodore, to which he replied in the same manner; without giving way one inch to that haughty spirit which characterises too many of the officers of the British navy. This spirit probably preferred him from the effects of their violence, and he was dismissed as the d—d obstinate Yankee rascal they had ever met with, without their knowing him as anything else than the master of a common East-Indiaman.
Previous to leaving the British ship, Captain Chauncy very leisurely took a memorandum of the officer's names who had insulted him, saying, "perhaps I may come athwart you some day, when you shall know who and what I am."
FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER, a democratic paper.
Commodore Truxton.—The very honorable part which has been acted by this distinguished veteran, in relation to the affairs of Burr; the flattering manner in which he was acquitted of all censure by the grand jury, are sufficient inducements to bring him again into public notice. But when a long life of private honor, as well as public service, in all respects unfulfilled, are considered, com-
modore Truxton may be recommended to his country as a worthy object for public employment.
It is true that commodore Truxton is denominated a federalist, but he is neither a political sectarian nor a factious partisan; he has uniformly been an open, candid and honest patriot, thinking with independency and speaking with candor.—The British and French have both felt the force of his superior talents, and in the projects of colonel Burr, when the most flattering offers were made, he answered with promptitude and true patriotism "if your scheme is factious by the government of my country I will engage with ardor and honesty, if not, I will hear no more of it." These are the traits which bespeak a man of intrinsic worth, and who deserves the confidence and employment of his country, and particularly at the present crisis.
Commodore Truxton has been out of employment for some time, and this perhaps will occasion some difficulty among the present commanders. Let this be answered by the examples of France. The splendid success of that nation, have been achieved by young and obscure generals, whose talents entitled them to elevation.—The rulers of France sought for, and rewarded merit, and to this may be imputed their unrivaled successes.
England too affords examples; the celebrated and immortal general Wolfe, and admiral Nelson, were preferred to their seniors in age and rank, and these heroes have given a lustre to the British name, which will live to all eternity. Truxton's case is much stronger, he is old in service, in virtue, in fame, in exploits and in genuine patriotism; and there is not a man in existence, who ought to think himself dishonored by such a commander.
This small tribute to merit, has been written, much more with a view to promote the public weal than to pay a tribute to the merits of our distinguished and meritorious countryman.
Characteristic Anecdote of Admiral Berkley.
The honourable Admiral Berkley, then only a captain in the British Navy, commanded the Malborough in Lord Howe's memorable engagement on the 4th June. Early on that day he got a scratch in the head, so very slight, that a midshipman would have been ashamed to have mentioned it to the flanders-by during such an engagement. The honourable captain, however thought fit to be prevailed upon to go down to the cock-pit to have care taken of his wound for fear of consequences, leaving the command of the vessel to the eldest lieutenant, who being a poor Hibernian, unfriended by anything but his own heart and hands, and of course, without interest at the Admiralty, though that this was a glorious golden opportunity to make a dash and recommend himself to promotion by some very extraordinary deed of prowess. He accordingly lost no time in running up the Malborough where he thought she would have enough of peppering, and where she soon caught the vigilant eye of the brave Howe, who, with his spy glass perceived her very busily employed in paying her best compliments to three French line of battle ships, one of which raked her fore and aft. Astonished and concerned at her situation, his lordship hastily called to Sir Roger Curtis, his captain, and said, "Why Sir Roger, Sir Roger! What in the name of Heaven can be the matter with the Marl-
borough?" Sir Roger who knew Berkley, and was keen, satirical, and witty as well as brave and humane, looked, for a moment, through his glass at the Marlborough, and then turning round to Lord Howe, dryly replied, "I don't know, my Lord, but I should imagine from the conduct of the Marlborough that Captain Berkley has been killed."

HALIFAX, JULY 7, 1807.
IMPORTANT ORDER,
By the Hon. GEORGE C. BERKELEY, Vice-Admiral of the white, &c. &c.
WHEREAS many seamen, subjects of his Britannic Majesty, and in his Majesty's ships and vessels, as per margin, [Bellisle, Bellona, Triumph, Chichester, Halifax, Zenobia cutter] while at anchor in the Chesapeake, deserted and entered on board the United States frigate the Chesapeake, and openly paraded the streets of Norfolk, in sight of their officers, under the American flag, protected by the magistrates of the town, and the recruiting officer belonging to the above mentioned American frigate, which magistrates, and naval officer, refused giving them up, although demanded by his Britannic Majesty's Consul, as well as the captains of the ships from which the said men had deserted.—The captains and commanders of his Majesty's ships and vessels under my command, are therefore, hereby required, and directed, in case of meeting with the American frigate Chesapeake, at sea, and without the limits of the United States, to shew to the captain of her, this order, and to require to search his ship for the deserters from the before-mentioned ships, and to proceed and search for the same; and if a similar demand shall be made by the American, he is to be permitted to search for any deserters from their service, according to the customs and usage of civilized nations, on terms of peace and amity with each other.
Given under my hand, at Halifax, Nova-Scotia, the 1st day of June, 1807.

WASHINGTON, JULY 22, 1807. SPANISH AGGRESSION.
Accounts have reached the city, dated late in June, that the Spaniards at Mobile have seized 200 stand of arms and a quantity of ammunition, belonging to the United States, destined from New-Orleans to Fort Stoddard. This seizure was made by the Spanish commandant at Mobile, and afterwards approved by the Governor General of the Floridas.
The above information may be relied on as correct. It comes from unquestionable authority—the letter containing it is from an officer in the army of the U. States, who was a witness of the act.—This important fact is also given in the National Intelligencer. We shall not comment on it.
Foreign News.
LONDON, MAY 30.
News has been received by the Royal George, of an unfortunate event having taken place at Malta, on the 5th of April. The regiment of Froberg, quartered at Fort Recessi, a short distance from the Vallette, mutinied, and killed a Captain and the Adjutant of the regiment, and took possession of the fort. Lieut. Col. Schumelkettel was wounded. The mutineers remained seven days masters of fort Recessi. Endeavors were at first made to reduce them by famine, but they threatened to reduce the town to ashes, and even threw some bombs into it. At length it was determined on the eleventh to take the rebels by open force. A German officer at the head of two hundred men, sealed the fort. Some of the mutineers had hid themselves in a powder magazine, and blew it up on the 22d; which occasioned damage to the amount of £30000, but very fortunately killed only two or three of the soldiers employed against the mutineers. The latter were directly tried before a court martial and 26 of them had already been hanged or shot, when the Royal George sailed from Malta.
Mr. Thornton has just set off on board an extraordinary packet dispatched for Toulon. It is generally asserted that the object of his mission is important, which may be judged of from the quickness with which he set off. It is said he is going to Mamel in order to make remonstrance to the Prussian cabinet relative to the negotiation which have been opened. The conduct of the King of Sweden is also more than suspicious.

French Account.
FINKENSTEIN, May 29.
Dantzick has Capitulated. This fine fortress is in our possession. Eight hundred pieces of ordnance, magazines of every kind, upwards of 500,000 quintals of wheat, considerable cellars, large supplies of cloth and grocery, resources of all kinds for the army, and finally a fortress of the first order supporting our left, as Thorn supports our centre, and Praga our right; these are the advantages obtained during the winter, and which have signalized the leisure of the Grand Army; it is the first, the finest fruit of the victory of Eylau. The difficulties which the artillery had to vanquish were considerable. One hundred pieces of cannon, five or six hundred thousand pounds of gun powder, and an immense number of balls were brought from Stettin and the fortresses of Silesia.
On the 17th, the mine blew up at a block-house on the place of arms of the covert way. On the 19th the descent and passage of the fosse were executed at 7 in the evening. On the 21st, Marshal Lefebvre having prepared every thing for the assault, the troops mounted, when col. Lacoste, who had been sent into the fortresses in the morning, on business, regarding the service, stated, that Gen. Kalkreuth asked to capitulate on the same conditions which he had formerly granted to the garrison of Stettin. This proposal was consented to. The Hakeisburg would have been carried by assault without any great loss, but the body of the fortress was still entire; a large force of running water prevented such obstacles as might have enabled the besieged to have prolonged their defence for a fortnight longer. Under such circumstances it was deemed advisable to grant them an honorable capitulation.
On the 17th, the garrison defiled, Gen. Kalkreuth at their head. This strong garrison, which at first consisted of 16,000 men, is reduced to 4,000, out of which number, 4,000 have deserted. There are even officers among the deserters. "We will not go to Siberia," say they. Several thousand of artillery horses have been delivered up to us, but they are in a very bad condition. Inventories of the magazines are making out. Gen. Rapp is appointed Governor of Dantzick.
The Russian Lt. Gen. Kamenki, after having been defeated on the 15th, was driven under the fortifications of Weichselmunde, where he remained without undertaking any thing, and where he was a spectator of the surrender of the fortress. When he beheld batteries erecting for red hot shot, in order to burn his vessels, he got on board and returned to Pillau. The fort of Weichselmunde still held out. Marshal Lefebvre caused it to be summoned. On the 26th, and while the capitulation was regulating, the garrison marched out of the fort and surrendered. The commandant abandoned, saved himself by sea, accordingly we are now masters of the town and harbor of Dantzick. These events are a happy omen for the campaign. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia were at Helligensbeel. They might have conjectured the surrender of the fortress from the cessation of the fire. The cannon was heard as far as that place.
The siege of Graudentz is beginning, under the command of Gen. Victor. Gen. Lazowski commands the engineers, and Gen. Douhouard the artillery. Graudentz is strong by its great number of mines.
All the good news of the success of Ismail and Walachia is just arrived. The Russians have been obliged to raise the siege of Ismail and evacuate Walachia.
VIENNA, May 28.
The affairs in Turkey have suddenly assumed a very different aspect; after having published that the Servians had obtained great advantage, the Prussian Gazette says that Czerni-Georges was attacked near Widdien by a large Ottoman corps, that he lost 8,000 men killed or taken prisoners, and that he himself owed his escape only to the swiftness of his horse.
Extract from the Capitulation of Dantzick.
After a long resistance, fifty-one days of open trenches, imperious circumstances having rendered it necessary to treat for the surrender of the fortress of Dantzick, to the troops of H.M. the Emperor of the French King of Italy, and to those of his allies, the following Capitulation has been agreed on between his Excellency the General of Cavalry, Count de Kalkreuth, and the General of Division Drouet.
ART. 1. The garrison shall march out on the 27th inst. at 9 in the morning with arms and baggage, colours flying, drums beating, matches lighted, two 6 pounders of the light artillery, with their cañons, drawn by 6 horses each.
II. The remainder of the artillery horses shall be delivered up to the French Army.
III. The arms of all kings, which may exceed the complement of the petty officers and soldiers, who march out of the fortress, shall be delivered up to the officers of artillery, appointed for that purpose.
IV. The garrison shall be conducted to the advanced posts of the army of H. M. the King of Prussia, at Pillau, passing by the Nehrung and in five days march; the halting places shall be fixed on.
V. The garrison engages not to serve against the French army or its allies, for the space of a year, reckoning from the day of the capitulation. General Count Kalkreuth, H. H. Prince Scherbatof, and the officers engage, on their word of honor, to observe, and cause to be observed, the present article.
VI. On the 26th, the Hakeisburg, the gates of Oliva, Jacob and Neugarten, shall be given up to his Majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, and those of his allies.
VII. The officers, petty officers and soldiers, now prisoners of war at Dantzick, whether they form part of the troops of his Majesty the Emperor, or those of his allies, shall be restored without exchange.
XI. The magazines, chests, and in general every thing belonging to the King shall be delivered up to the French administration—a commissioner shall be appointed to deliver to the person furnished with powers from his Excellency Marshal Lefebvre.
XVI. His Excellency Marshal Lefebvre assures the inhabitants of Dantzick that he will use every means to make persons and property be respected, and that the greatest order shall reign throughout the garrison.
Turkish Affairs.
CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 24.
Intelligence, which does not appear to deserve much credit, states, that the Russian fleet has quitted Tenedos. Other intelligence given out for authentication, states, that the English Admiral Craig had appeared before Salonica, and demanded the surrender of that town, as also a contribution of 900,000 ducats to be taken from the French property. He declared that, should his demand not be complied with, he would bombard the town. The Pacha has demanded instructions of the Porte on this head; those he has received are conformable to the system of firmness which the Ottoman Ministry has adopted for some time past.
FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, MAY 8.
On the 22d of last month, the Turks attacked the camp of the Servians near Nissa; although the latter did not expect it, they supported the shock with a great deal of resolution, and even contrived to repel their adversaries to the distance of a league. But the Turks having received numerous reinforcements, returned to the charge, and after an engagement which lasted till night, they obtained a complete victory. The Servians were driven back nine miles; their loss in this battle was 4830 killed, 7235 wounded and 800 prisoners, besides 3 cannons, 2 stand of colours, 160 muskets, and a great quantity of stores. The Turks had 2480 men killed, 3063 wounded, and 160 prisoners.
HUNGARY, MAY 29.
The Turks withstand the Russians—and indeed, it is said, make head against them. Each Turkish Commander has French officers with him; and in every fortress resides a French military agent.
BUDA, MAY 29.
The Turks lead the way in the most brilliant manner to the opening of the campaign against the Russians. We learn that the army of the latter outstretched on its right and left, have recrossed the Siret in the greatest disorder. The Ottoman corps, after raising the blockade of Ismail, passed the Pruth at Falzi, and struck off rapidly towards Jassy. On the other hand the Ayan of Rutschuck has crossed the Milcow, and corps in the frontiers of Transylvania, in order to place the Russians between two fires.
Numerous corps of Tartars in the Crimea, whom Michelson wished to join his arm, have passed over to the Turkish camps.
VIENNA, MAY 18.
The Montenegrins are preparing to fight against the French at Cattaro; and the Arnauts to fight against the Montenegrins. We have again a report that the Russians have been again defeated before Ishmael, and obliged to raise the siege. The Greeks are said to be dissatisfied with the Russians.
The French Gen. Marmont has gone to Ragusa to form a corps of 14,000 men, to commence the siege of Cattaro. Lauriston is gone to Bosnia.
The last messenger from Turkey states, that the Servian army has taken up a concentrated position in the interior of Servia, and that hitherto nothing denotes an intention on the part of the Turks to advance so far.
The English in Egypt.
Letters from Leghorn and a short from every port in Italy mention that the English have been defeated in Egypt by the Turks and Arnauts united. The particulars of this event are not yet come to hand, but it is beyond a doubt that several fast sailing sloops have arrived in the ports of Sicily, with orders to the Commander of the English troops in that island to embark for Egypt all those still remaining there. Similar orders has been received at Malta, where all the disposable troops are getting on board transports. The English Government are resolved to be masters of Egypt cost what it may, in consequence of which a new expedition is expected in the Mediterranean from England.
FRANKFORT, MAY 23.
It is asserted, that the Court of Vienna has just invited in the most pressing manner that of London to send Plenipotentiaries to the Congress which, it is said, will very shortly open in order to treat of the affairs of Europe, and of the re-establishment of a general peace. It is thought that Baron Vincent will not make a long stay at Vienna, and that after having received new instructions from his Government, he will repair to Berlin, where the centre of the negotiations will, it is thought, be established.
PARIS, JUNE 4.
The conquest of Dantzick gives sixty thousand men more to the French army, it secures its rear, and henceforth guarantees it against all the attempts which the enemy might have made to thwart its operations. Master of both banks of the Vistula and of all the important positions as far as the Pregel, the Emperor may at present manoeuvre his fine army at his case.
Gen. Lefebvre has been appointed hereditary Duke of Dantzick, with an endowment in lands.
H. M. the Emperor arrived at Dantzick the 1st June. He slept on the preceding evening at the Abbey of Oliva. On his arrival H. M. reviewed different bodies of troops. ( Moniteur .)
DANTZICK JUNE 30. —The Emperor returned from thence yesterday. The damage done to the houses in this place by the siege, is estimated at 12 millions. The houses which Gen. Kalkreuth ordered to be demolished in the suburbs, are estimated at 9 millions.
LONDON, JUNE 1.
It is said, on respectable authority, that of the Members already returned to the New Parliament, there are 141 who voted on Mr. Brien's motion, and 15 New Members, with sentiments decidedly and directly hostile to the New Administration; and it is expected, that in the result of the election for Ireland and Scotland, 50 Irish Members, and 14 or 16 Scottish Members will be added to the number. A Minority at which Ministers may tremble!
The Warsaw Gazette May 27, contains the following article: "A Courier arrived here yesterday from Constantinople, and brought official news that the English had been beaten in Egypt, and forced to re-embark."

THE LATE NATIONAL INSULT AS RELATED IN NOVA-SCOTIA.
From a Halifax Paper.
His Majesty's sloop of war Columbine , capt. Bradshaw, arrived here on Saturday last from the Chesapeake, after a passage of six days, with dispatches to the Honorable Vice-Admiral Berkeley. These dispatches relate to an unpleasant contest, which has taken place between the United States' frigate Chesapeake , Commodore Barron, and his Majesty's ship Leopard , Captain Humphries. As this is an event of the utmost importance to two nations, whose best interest is to be in amity with each other, we have endeavored to collect as far as possible the interesting particulars. The order of Vice-Admiral Berkeley, with which we have been favored, will show the ground of difference;—the propriety of the order given;—and that part of the order which gave to Commodore Barron the reciprocal right to search, must show
to every candid mind, a sincere disposition to avoid wounding the feelings of the commodore, or of bringing the question to this painful issue. The manner in which captain Humphreys carried into effect the Admiral's order will fully appear in the subsequent interesting letter from an officer belonging to the Leopard , and reflects the highest honor on Capt. Humphreys, who has shewed, on the one hand, the most patient forbearance; and on the other, the most inflexible determination to do his duty.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board his Majesty's ship Leopard, dated
CHESAPEAKE BAY, JUNE 25, 1807.
"WE arrived here on the 21st inst.—and, agreeably to the orders of the Hon. Vice Admiral Berkeley, (in the event of meeting the United States Frigate Chesapeake , to search her for deserters, of whom we had information,) the next morning, the signal was made from the Bellona to proceed to sea, which we did at 9 o'clock this morning: the Chesapeake was then passing the Bellona , about three miles within us—We stood to the S. E. with the wind at S. W. until eleven, when it shifted to the E. which retarded the progress of the Frigate , being obliged to beat—we kept on a wind, under easy sail, until she got within two miles of us, when she shortened sail, and we bore down to her, we were about 13 or 14 miles from the land; when sufficiently close, the captain hailed, and said he had dispatches from the British Commander in Chief—the answer was, "send them on board, I shall leave too," which he did accordingly—I was sent on board with the Admiral's order, and a letter from captain Humphreys, saying, he hoped to be able to execute the Admiral's order in the most amicable manner; and, after the Commodore read the order and letter, he told me, his orders from his Government were most peremptory in not suffering any foreigner to muster his ships' company, but that he would write an answer to captain Humphreys's letter, if I would be the bearer of it to him—after having answered in the affirmative he wrote, saying, that he had no deserters, and that his instructions prevented his allowing the Chesapeake to be searched. I returned with this answer, after being on board 40 minutes. As the Admiral's order was positive, there was no alternative but force—so we edged down to her, and captain Humphreys hailed, and said, that Commodore Barron must be aware that the order of the British Commander in Chief must be obeyed, the only reply, (which was three repeated) was that "I do not understand what you say"—now as we were to the windward, and heard distinctly his answer, it was evident he also must have heard what captain Humphreys said—orders were then given to fire a shot across her bows from the lower deck; after a minute another; and, in two more, no satisfactory answer being given, capt. Humphreys ordered the fire to be opened on her, beginning with the foremost gun, and in succession after: but as the order was not perfectly understood, a broadside was poured into her; Commodore Barron then hailed, when orders were then given to cease firing, but as he only said he was going to send a boat on board, and as they were preparing to return the fire, it was supposed an artifice to gain time, and orders were again given to fire—two broadsides more were the result, when she struck. Two Lieutenants, with several midshipmen, went then on board the Chesapeake to search for deserters, and after being there three hours, returned with four—3 belonging to the Melampus , and one to the Halifax ; the latter is the fellow who abused Lord James Townsend at Norfolk—Commodore Barron wrote to captain Humphreys saying, that he considered the Chesapeake as his prize, and that he was ready to deliver her up to any person authorized to receive her; capt. Humphreys replied, that as he had executed the orders of the Commander in Chief, he had nothing more to do with her; that he must forthwith join the rest of the squadron, and that he not only lamented, most sincerely, the necessity that compelled him to violent measures, but that if he could render the Chesapeake any service, he would cheerfully do it. In short, captain Humphreys has conducted himself throughout the whole of this unpleasant transaction, in the most praiseworthy manner, as an officer and gentleman—he has more humanity in his composition than most mankind: you may then suppose his feelings were none of the most comfortable on this occasion. The Chesapeake returned but a few shots—they were scarcely prepared when we began, and were thrown in such confusion, that the greatest part of the people deserted their quarters."
"The number killed on board the Chesapeake, according to their own statement was 6—and 23 were wounded."
"Twenty-six shot went through the hull, seven between wind and water; the sails were completely riddled, and I have not a doubt but that in 10 minutes more she would have gone down, the sea being so smooth every shot told after the first broadside, which was chiefly at the rigging."
"Commodore Barron was slightly wounded in the leg by a splinter—he behaved in the coolest way imaginable, and stood at the open gang-way the greater part of the time."
"If any thing can place this matter in a stronger light, we need only compare the assurances of Commodore Barron, with the result: Of the deserters claimed, six were taken out of the frigate, upon the searching her two were killed, and one jumped overboard. The gunner of his Majesty's ship Chichester , who falsely deserted his Country's Flag, was found dead, acting in that station, on board the American frigate, and many others were left by Captain Humphreys, because they could not be identified."

Extract of a letter from Norfolk, dated
JULY 17, 6, P. M.
"Agreeably to your request of the 11th inst. I have to inform you, that we have this moment received certain information from a party of horse which we had stationed at the Bay shore, that
they had taken two officers and three privates, belonging to a boat which had come on shore from the British ship—they were fired upon by our party—I believe none were either killed or wounded—they will be immediately brought up to town."
NEW-YORK, JULY 25, 1807.
The pilot-boat Bald-Eagle , under Lieut. Hull, has been dispatched by the navy agent here, with sealed orders.—Supposed to be bound to call home the American squadron from the Mediterranean.
On Wednesday last the Vesper , British tender, went into the Chesapeake with dispatches. The Bellona , Commodore Douglas, immediately got under way, for Halifax. The Vesper was ordered to follow; when out of sight of the Bellona , seven impressed Americans joined seventeen others, rose on the officers and remainder of the crew, 28 in number, confined them, took possession of the schooner, then with the two officers got on board a coasting schooner, and went out of reach of the Vesper , sent the officers on board, and got into Newcastle.
Accounts from Norfolk say, that on information that the British were getting water at the Copes, a party of Light-horse had been sent against them and had taken two officers, and three seamen prisoners.
It is stated, that all the British ships of war have left the coast, steering E. N. E.
We say, and we once more repeat it, that the Chesapeake , being a national ship, was not liable to be searched for any purpose, nor have any her crew taken from her. This is ground that ought to be maintained at every hazard. But on the other hand, candour demands the concession, that it was very improper in the American Commodore to enlist four deserters from the British man of war, knowing them to be such—and whether they were British subjects or had voluntarily enlisted and received their bounty, [this being a conduct long since silently permitted by us] is immaterial. And we say further, if the administration on being applied to by the English Consul, refused to accommodate the affair, but insisted on protecting the men, by placing them under the national flag, the administration thereby became criminal, and are answerable to the people for their culpable conduct.
Such are the sentiments we hold on this subject: they have been often revised, and are believed to be correct.
The result is, that our own administration are considered as having been to blame; but not so that their misconduct justified the resort to force on the part of the English. On this point we are ready to say, that we consider the national sovereignty has been attacked, the national honor tarnished, and that ample reparation and satisfaction must be given, or that a war ought to be resorted to for the purpose of obtaining both by force of arms.—Ev. P.
From PETERSBURG. Vir. July 24.
"Two members of the Petersburg Republican Light Infantry, on furlough, arrived in the stage from Norfolk on Tuesday evening last. From them we learn that the 2 officers and 3 men being captured by our cavalry, had greatly exasperated the British commanders. The squadron had taken five American citizens out of a coasting vessel, who would be retained until the British subjects were restored."
BOSTON, JULY 31.
100,000 MILITIA.
The drafting of a hundred thousand militia is a tax on a hundred thousand individual citizens of the United States. To compute the tax at two dollars a man is certainly very low. Here then is a tax of 200,000 dollars, and for what? There is not a person in the United States that will say, even if we go to war with Great Britain, that there is any probability of her ever sending an army into this country. Then what are our 100,000 militia men to do? Have we not mariners enough to man our gun boats. Admit that we have 80 gun boats, it would be worse than the flogage of a Liverpool guineaman to put 1250 men on board of each gun boat. Why then are we taxed with a levy of 100,000 men, when our State Executives, as appears by the conduct of our's think it necessary, besides the President's requisition, to hold another force in readiness to carry the Proclamation into effect, to prevent all intercourse with British men of war, and any aggression they might offer. We really never heard or read of so want a tax—if it is not so, let the friends of the measure teach us its utility.— Reporter .
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
The embargo at Halifax on the 15th ult. was probably occasioned by the loss of a small fleet of merchantmen for the West-Indies.
Cork, May 29. —By His Majesty's ship Anchylia , which arrived in the Harbour from a cruise on the 26th inst. we are informed that his Majesty's ship Blenheim , carrying the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Troubridge, is supposed to have foundered off the Coast of Madagascar.

FROM EUROPE.
French and Prussians.—Since our last we have received European accounts to June 15. The latest are by an arrival at Boston, from Nantz. Under our foreign head will be found the principal articles of intelligence; the most important of which is the surrender of Danzick, with its immense stores, together with several other fortresses dependent on it have fallen into the hands of the French. Niess, another fortress in Silesia, has been taken by the French.
Russians and Turks.
The war operations between the Russians and Turks have taken an unfavourable turn for the former. The Turks have gained several advantages over the Russians and beaten them in a naval engagement in the Black Sea. The land forces of the Turks derive great assistance from the presence and aid of French officers and Engineers.
French and Russians.
The French and Russian grand armies still occupy the positions they have these three months past; but all accounts speak of the increasing probability of a general battle, unless prevented by negotiations for peace.
Bonaparte is drawing powerful reinforcements from various quarters, and the troops which have lately been employed in besieging places, are rejoining the French grand army in Poland. The most of the late accounts are derived through French channels, yet there cannot exist a doubt but that the French are successful in all their operations on the continent; and it appears pretty evident that in case a general action should take place with the Russians under Gen. Bennigsen, the French will be victorious.
The King of Sweden does not appear disposed to continue the unequal contest with Bonaparte much longer. Austria is anxious that England should join in negotiations for a general peace. The long expected English expedition to consist of ships and men to support the Russians had not left England.—Bonaparte has excited the Persians to make war against the Russians.
It is stated that the English have been defeated in their attempt against Egypt, and their affairs in that quarter are represented as desperate.
By the returns of members elected to serve in the next Parliament, it appears that the new British Ministry will have an opposition powerful in talents and numbers to contend with.
America and Great-Britain.
We believe it is the anxious desire of every friend to the prosperity of the United States, to avoid a war with England if consistent with national honor and independence. With this opinion on the subject, we regret that any circumstances should occur that may tend to widen the breach that has already been made. Under Norfolk date of July 18th, is the following information:—
NORFOLK, JULY 18.
Some Retaliation.
Last evening an express arrived at head quarters to the commander, Gen. Matthew from Capt. Shepherd, of the troops of Cavalry, stationed near the Cape. The intelligence the express brought is of great importance; it announces the first act of retaliation for the outrages of the British squadron.
About five men, viz 2 midshipmen and 3 sailors, were taken on board on Thursday evening, on the east side of the inlet; the people came on shore, and were fired at by a detachment of Militia under the command of a lieutenant from Kempville. They retreated and took refuge in the woods. Information being given to Capt. Shepherd of the place to which they had retired, it immediately surrounded. In the morning they were discovered, and surrendered themselves prisoners without resistance. The boat and the arms on board of her have been taken possession of; and the men are now prisoners at Mr. Lemuel Cornick's, waiting the orders of the General.
What directions the Executive of the U. S. have given respecting these men is not yet known. The President's Proclamation goes to interdict all intercourse, or furnishing of supplies to the British men of war; but it does not authorize the committing acts of hostilities, or making prisoners of British subjects.
This is bringing things from bad to worse—for the British have taken five men from a coasting vessel, and are determined to retain them as hostages.
From the English account which has been published at Halifax, it will be found that the order for taking the men from the Chesapeake originated with Admiral Berkeley.
More Business for Town Meetings
Every day fulfils the predictions of the Federalists as to the purchase of Louisiana. The outrages of the Spaniards on our territory and citizens have been repeated and aggravated. The troops of Spain have several times invaded our territory, seized our citizens in the night time; and at other times,
when employed in their honest business; stopped vessels carrying provision for our troops; and, within a few days, have seized 200 stand of arms, and a quantity of ammunition destined for Fort Stoddert. Such are some of the glorious consequences , of the Louisiana purchase.
But it was a favorite project of our Philosophical President ; and our meek democrats, while they celebrate the acquisition of this wilderness, are as indifferent to the insults and depredations of the cowardly Spaniards as Mr. Jefferson himself.
But why talk about Spain in this business? Every one knows that Spain is only the creature of Bonaparte: who only wishes to gain time till he has settled his affairs at home by "giving peace and liberty" to Europe, when he will make, in all probability, short work in settling the boundary betwixt the United States and Spain.
Translation of an order of his imperial Majesty Mully Soliman, Emperor of Morocco , given at Magadore , 9th of May, 1807. To all Merchants in Magadore, Moors, Jews and Christians .
At this time I have found this place destitute of goods and such merchandise as is wanting in this country, and I observe the reason is because you do not bring goods which pay duty but you only bring hard cash, which is no profit to me, and ballast which is an incumbrance.
I wish you to bring such goods as are necessary for the country, and also benefit and fill the port. For my own part, God has not made them needful to me for which reason, I have ordered Ben Abdebeck, that whoever does not import goods to the benefit of the country and employment of the port, brings only ballast and empty ships, not to suffer such empty ships to remain in the harbor but to send them away.
And he will allow them sufficient time to convey this order to their friends. And peace be with you. I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true copy of the translation sent me by Mr. JAMES BENSHAW, my agent at Magadore . (Signed) JAMES SIMPSON. Tangier 11th June, 1807.

MORE VEXATION.
We have seen a letter from a very intelligent American in London, which states that Mr. Armstrong had left Paris, to wait on Bonaparte, at his Head Quarters—that our difficulties at the courts of St. Cloud and Madrid became more and more involved; and that it was evident Talleyrand intended no accommodation should take place, between us and Spain.—Friday's Repository.
WHITBY NOT PROMOTED.
It has been frequently and boldly asserted in the War papers, that Capt. Whitby, of the Leander, after his late trial, was immediately promoted to a ship of the line.—This assertion is false. Whitby was tried in April; and a reference to the official [Steele's] List, for June, will shew, that he was not only NOT PROMOTED, but still remained out of ALL COMMAND.—Cent.

Sheppard's Touchstone.
PROPOSALS
OF THOMAS CLARK for Publishing by Subscription, the TOUCHSTONE OF COMMON ASSURANCES, and PRINCIPLES OF CONVEYANCING. By William Sheppard, Esq. of the Middle Temple. From the sixth London Edition. To which is added a Copious Index .
The fate of this book, has been somewhat singular. For a long time it lay in the book-shops of second hand booksellers unnoticed, and of no repute. The late Lord Chief Justice Willis was the person who rescued it from unmerited neglect, by the high character he gave it in the Court where he presided. His powerful encomiums, together with the importance of the subject matter of the book, the method observed in it, and the author ties upon which its doctrine is established, have contributed to give the work that reputation which has been so fully confirmed by the demand for and the sale of the latter editions.
Though this treatise bears the name of Sheppard, yet doubts have arisen whether it could have been his performance, inasmuch as many circumstances concur to render it extremely probable that it must have been the work of the celebrated Judge Doddridge. This doubt probably might occasion the retarding of the sale and reputation of the first editions, as a currency is more commonly given by the force of the author's name to his first edition than by the merits of his work. On a thorough examination, it is believed that this work has been found to contain as excellent a theory of conveyancing as any ever published. It is this circumstance, together with the facility of the book that has induced the publisher to issue proposals for its republication. The Public will not require an apology for being presented with a new American edition of a work which has been so long wanted. As London editions of law treatises have become extremely high in America, it becomes us to encourage their publication here as much as possible: in doing this it is proper that the most valuable should be first selected; and in a short time it may be considerably expected that a complete law library may be purchased in this country wholly of American publications; and at a price vastly below what we are compelled to give for London editions. The proposed publication, therefore, of Sheppard's Touchstone richly merits and will undoubtedly receive the patronage of a generous public.
CONDITIONS.
1. The book which contains nearly 600 pages, will be printed on a handsome Royal Octavo size, page for page, from the last London edition, & on paper of a superior quality. 2. The work will positively go to press by the first of October, and be ready for delivery by the first of February next. 3. It will be delivered to subscribers handsomely bound in sheep, at 4 dollars. Handsomely bound in plain calf, 4 50 July 27.
To the Hon. the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened.
HUMBLY shew your petitioners, That a Turnpike Road from the twelve-road in Brunswicks, directly opposite the present Post-office, which is nigh the center of Brunswicks village, by Mr. John Dunning, to the south-west bend in Androscoggin river, so called, in Durham, is much wanted, and would be of great public utility; as it would not only shorten the distance considerably, but render the transportation and travelling much more easy and agreeable. We therefore pray that we and our associates may be incorporated for the purpose of building said turnpike road, with all the powers and privileges usually granted to similar corporations, and as in duty bound will ever pray. JOHN DUNLAP and others.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. In Senate, June 10, 1807.
