GIDEON GRANGER, Postmaster-General. General Post Office, Washington City, April 4th, 1803.
WAR! WAR!!
NEW YORK, April 15.
Strong probability of a renewal of the WAR between Great Britain and France.
Captain Sterling of the ship Mercury, from Liverpool, is the bearer of great news. He informs, that on the day of his departure (the 10th of March) an express arrived at Liverpool from London. An immediate impress of seamen took place, both on shore, and on board of vessels on the eve of sailing—and nothing was talked of but WAR and a change of ministry. This news is not merely verbal—it comes to us in an official form, as will appear from the following letter, which, with others corroborative of this account, was received on board the Mercury after she was under way, by a dispatch boat.
Copy of a letter from J. Gascoigne, member of Parliament for Liverpool, to the Mayor of Liverpool, dated London, March 8. (COPY.)
"DEAR SIR, "WAR is expected—a message this day from the King to the House to that tendency.—Militia expected to be called out to guard against invasion.—Stocks down four per cent.—Mr. Pitt, it is supposed, will soon return to power.—I've time to add no more, it being 6 o'clock. "J GASCOIGNE."
"London, March 8."
A letter from Liverpool, dated the 10th March, says—"The London papers received this day, mention a decline in the price of stocks; and rumours are in circulation of a change of ministry; but so far as can be judged, there is no reason to apprehend any renewal of hostilities."
A Liverpool Price Current of the 8th of March, mentions the price of American exports as generally declining.
To the politeness of captain Sterling of the ship Mercury from Liverpool, the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser is indebted for a file of London papers to the evening of the 8th of March—the latest brought by the vessel. We subjoin the principal articles; by which it will be discovered that at the date of our last accounts business of moment agitated the British cabinet; that some important political changes were expected to take place shortly; and that the rumours afloat had occasioned a serious depression of the funds.
In addition to the intelligence collected from the London papers, captain Sterling informs us that on the evening previous to his sailing several press gangs scoured the streets of Liverpool, and secured for the service of the navy such seamen as could not produce a written protection.
Letters were received yesterday by several commercial houses in this city from Messrs. Cropper, Benson, & co. of Liverpool, dated the 10th of March, of which the following is a copy:
"The Mayor of Liverpool has this morning received a letter from one of our members of parliament, stating that a message had been sent to the House of Commons by the King, ordering the militia to be embodied; and that WAR was very much expected. He wrote in great haste, just before the departure of the post, and had not time to enlarge."
Other letters mentioned that stocks had fallen four per cent.
The French funds were rising, being 64 6-10ths.
A grand dinner was given to a party of Americans, by Mr. Erving, the American con-
sul at the London tavern on Friday last, the anniversary of the election of Mr. Jefferson to the office of President of the United States. The company was numerous, yet select. Many patriotic songs were sung, one in particular, written for the occasion, with the chorus, "hail to our sachem, and long may he live," was received with great applause.
It is now said, certain new arrangements were made yesterday at the privy council, and that an important message will be sent to the parliament this evening!! By such reports the stock was farther depressed. At one o'clock the Ominum was as low as 6 a 5 3-4 discount, and the 3 per cents, at 69 3-4.
The royal family's unexpected departure from Windsor yesterday morning was occasioned by the arrival of some dispatches which his Majesty received in the morning at seven o'clock by a messenger from ministers in consequence of a meeting which they had on Sunday evening. His Majesty gave immediate directions for preparations to be made for going to London with all possible speed. A few minutes before eight o'clock his Majesty's Hobby Groom was despatched to London to order the horses to meet the royal family at Hounslow. The messenger made such good speed that he arrived at the Mews at a quarter before ten.
At three o'clock a cabinet council was held at the Queen's House, which his Majesty attended; and there were present the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Westmoreland, Lord Hobart, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Bragge, &c. The council sat for a considerable time.
The commander of every ship in the harbor of Portsmouth has received orders to repair to Spithead with all possible dispatch.
Extract of a letter from Port-Republican, dated March 21, received via Philadelphia.
"The brigands have lately seized upon a brig from Havre, on board of which were 32 persons, mostly passengers, including one woman and some children. Within three days we have heard of the taking of Petit Guave by the brigands. The southern department is likewise in danger. The plain of Aux Cayes Rochelais, and several other districts have been burnt. General Rochambeau has sent to the Commandant at Aux Cayes 2800 men, who will stop the progress which these rebels are making daily."
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Aux Cayes to his correspondent in New York, dated March 14th, received via Philadelphia.
"On the 7th inst. we were attacked by the Negroes, who, after a close engagement of three quarters of an hour, were repulsed with the loss of 500 men killed. On their retreat they left 300 muskets on the field. Our loss was only one Polish captain killed, and three men wounded. Nearly all the mulattoes in Aux Cayes revolted, and joined the negroes. The latter had burnt the greater part of La Plaine, and assassinated several white inhabitants. Our troops made a sortie on the 9th, and found many black women amongst the killed; a great number of men wounded in the engagement of the 7th, had since died. Upon one plantation five black women were found dead, with 12 jejunhous in their possession. Orders from the Cape were received on the 13th, to prepare 9000 additional rations for troops which might be hourly expected. A frigate, it is said, has landed between 3 and 400 at Aquin. The inhabitants are much alarmed, and constantly on duty; and the commander in chief, fearful that he should be surprised in the night, has ordered alarm guns to be frequently fired, that the inhabitants and the troops may be vigilant at their posts."
Extract of a letter from Port Republican, dated March 17.
"My last letters informed you of the trifling losses I had then suffered at Eiragane. I call those now trifling, in comparison with what I have suffered by the almost total destruction of the South Department, which is, with few exceptions, in the power of the Brigands. The flames have consumed the plains and the mountains. Miragane and Arguin are reduced to ashes, and all the other towns are surrounded by the insurgents. Jeremie, however, still remains untouched, but menaced on every side. The mulattoes are at the head of the troubles of the South. Three days since the town of Petit Guave was given up by a conspiracy of the people of colour. A great part of the garrison were massacred, the rest saved themselves by swimming to a frigate that was at anchor in the road, which vessel was fired upon by the insurgents, and had several killed and wounded."
"The greatest destruction was accomplished just on the appearance of the reinforcements—4000 men have arrived, part of these landed at Tiburon considerable forces are expected and arrive daily."
"The evil is great, and I much fear it will require a length of time to conquer this unfortunate country. The frightful malady that rages among the troops, is cruel and disastrous; it may well be called pestilential by the ravages which it daily makes. The most melancholy reflections have seized upon my mind; and I firmly believe, what possibly may appear astonishing to you, that we shall be obliged to abandon altogether this country, once so rich, luxurious and productive."
"This is fixed on as the seat of government, and daily expect gen. Rochambeau appointed commander in chief by the first consul; we have considerable confidence in him; but I tremble at the apprehension that it will require a great length of time, if ever successful."
"I will not speak to you about commerce, it is absolutely dead; there is no consumption but in the town, where a great part of the people are supported by rations. Produce is at exorbitant prices, because there is none, and no force remains for delivering it but Jeremie for coffee, and about one third of the plain of Cul de Sac for sugar, the rest being burnt and deserted."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Pauson (Bohemia) to his friend in Norfolk, dated Jan. 6, 1803.
"This country is in a deplorable state, having had no rain three months past—all the wells are dried up; the emperor is obliged to have water sent here from the lower parts of the country to keep the people from perishing—a great number of the inhabitants die daily for the want of that article. Rye is at the enormous rate of 6 dollars 37 cents per bushel; one potato will sell for a kreutzer (5 farthings) and every thing else in proportion."
IMPORTANT!
Captain Strangman of the schooner Eliza, on his passage from Savannah to New-York, was cast away at Cape Hatteras 6th January last. He remained there until the 28th February following, during all which time there was no light in the light-house at that place. This is important to the mercantile interest as well as to mariners, as, during the time he remained at Cape Hatteras eleven vessels were cast away there, many of which in his opinion might have been saved, had there been any lights to warn them of their danger. Those whose duty it is to correct this evil, are requested to notice this information, and the different printers in the United States are requested to republish it for the benefit of the public. Captain Strangman further reports, that although there is a capital light-house at Cape Hatteras with lamps and wick, yet there was no oil while he was there to fill the lamps. N. Y. G.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 15. QUARANTINE IN SPAIN.
Circular Order, issued by the Supreme Board of Health, concerning vessels proceeding from the United States of America.
In consideration of the information which has been received respecting the state of the health in the United States of America, the supreme board of health has resolved, that all vessels proceeding from the ports of those states, which bring clean bills of health, authorized by the Minister or Consul of his Majesty therein, shall, for the present, perform a quarantine of observation for the term of twenty days, and that, nothing particular happening in this time, they shall be admitted to free practice; the measures and precautions being first observed, which are customary in such cases, and are ordained in the laws and instructions of health for the protection of the public safety. With the advice of the same supreme board, I acquaint you thereof, in order that the one in your port, and the rest of the coast under your command, may punctually fulfil it. God preserve you many years.—Madrid, 2d February, 1803.
NEWPORT, Saturday, April 23, 1803.
Wednesday last was the day appointed by law for choosing Representatives to the General Assembly, for May and June Sessions, and electing General Officers for the year ensuing. In this town, the following Gentlemen were re-elected Representatives, without opposition, viz.
CONSTANT TABER, JOHN GARDNER, NATHANIEL HAZARD, JOSEPH BOSS, jun. THOMAS G. PITMAN, PAUL M. MUMFORD, Esquires.
The following Gentlemen are undoubtedly elected to the offices annexed to their names respectively:—
HIS EXCELLENCY ARTHUR FENNER, Esq. GOVERNOR. THE HONORABLE PAUL MUMFORD, Esq. LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR.
SENATORS. HENRY SMITH, WATERMAN TIBBITTS, BENJAMIN HOWLAND, THOMAS HOXIE, TIMOTHY WILMARTH, WILLIAM WATERMAN, JOHN D'WOLFE, JOSEPH CUNDALL, OLIVER GARDNER, (N. Kingstown) JOHN WATSON, jun. Esquires.
SAMUEL EDDY, Esq. Secretary. ASHER ROBBINS, Esq. Attorney-General. HENRY SHERBURNE, Esq. G. Treasurer.
Indeed, the federalists (or rather Monarchists) in this State, were the last year to completely defeated (there being a Democratic majority of nearly 2000) that Republicanism the present year had scarcely an opponent.
The Legislature of Ohio have elected John Smith and Thomas Worthington, Senators, of the United States.—These gentlemen are both decided republicans, and friends to the present administration. They have also elected Return J. Meigs, William Sprigg and Samuel Huntington, Supreme Judges; and W. Sullivan, C. Pease and F. Dulaney, Presiding Judges.
The recent instance of FIRE, which the citizens of this town have witnessed, will, it is to be hoped, operate as a solemn warning against the smoking of segars, & the burning of shavings near out-buildings, &c. as the stable belonging to Mr. Hart, which was yesterday burnt down, was without doubt occasioned by one or the other of these circumstances. It is not highly proper, when our town is thus endangered, that the law relative to smoking segars should be immediately put in force!
A private account from France (published in a London paper of the 21 March) mentions another plot to assassinate the Chief Consul.
MARRIED —At Roxbury, Mr. STEPHEN KEYES, of this town, to the amiable Miss RUBY WHITEMORE, of Roxbury.
At Middletown, by the Rev. Mr. Eddy, Mr. HENRY JAMES BRAYMAN, to Miss HANNAH WIGHTMAN, daughter of Mr. Paul Wightman.
DIED —At Exeter, Mr. ELIEZER READ, in the 75th year of his age, formerly an inhabitant of this town. He was an honest man, and a sincere friend to the liberties of his country.
At Middletown, on the 12th inst. Mr. EASTON BAILEY, aged 39. In life, he was beloved and respected, for his uprightness, his patriotism, and his morality. He died universally regretted by all who had the pleasure of an acquaintance with him.
At Portsmouth, on the 12th inst. Mrs. HANNAH COFF, in the 93d year of her age, widow of the late Mr. John Coff, of this town.
