POETRY.

A BALLAD.
THOU hast sent me a flowery band, And told me 'twas from the field; That the leaves were unscorch'd by the hand, And the purest of odours would yield. And indeed it is fragrant and fair; But if it were handled by thee, It would bloom with a livelier air, And would surely be sweeter to me! Then take it, and let it remain Thy tresses, as flowing and bright; And each little flower will again More rich than a gem to my sight. Let the odorous gale of thy breath Embalm it with many a sigh; Nay, let it be wither'd to death Beneath the warm noon of thine eye. And, instead of the dew that it bears, The dew dropping fresh from the tree; On its leaves let me number the tears That affection has stolen from thee!
To the Editors of the Rhode-Island American.
The following lines are from GRAY, and some of your Poetical Correspondents would render a favour, at least to one of your readers, by an English version.
LUSIT amicis: interdum velatus amictu, Et bene composita veste fefellit Amor. Mox ira assumpsit cultus, faciemque minantem, Inque odium versus, versus et in lacrymas: Ludentem fugit, nec lacrymantem, aut crede futuri; Idem est dissimili semper in ore Deus.

FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND AMERICAN.
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS HINTS.
No. XIX.
Messrs. Editors.
As the following letter may be interesting to some of your readers, I have transcribed it and sent it for insertion in the present number of "Moral and Religious Hints."
TO ANTHROPOS.
SIR,
As I usually read the newspapers for diversion, I have sometimes noticed the pieces you call "Moral and Religious Hints." Such things I should never think of reading if they were not in a newspaper. Of moral hints I feel no need; as I was never immoral in any of my conduct. Hints on religion, as people are so much divided about it, even if I wish to be religious, I should not regard, unless you could first tell me, whose profession and denomination is right. But, though I feel no interest in your hints on account of their morality or religion, you have said something that touched me a little. Your recommendation of "Caleb in Search of a Wife," made me feel uneasy, until I could get the book and read it. It was not so much the recommendation, as the title of the book, that worked upon my feelings. I have read the book and I hardly know what to think of it. There is something manly and agreeable in the character and behaviour of Caleb, though he don't show himself so much as I could wish. Yet I thought him to be a gentleman of sense and spirit; and I believe he would be perfectly agreeable, if he would renounce some bigotted and superstitious prejudices. I wonder that such a gentleman, after having such opportunities for seeing fine ladies, and for making a good choice, should have chosen for a wife Lucilla Stanley. For, to speak my mind freely, she is quite a low, servile, and insipid character. What single elegant, or sprightly qualification does she possess? She was acquainted with the business of her father's kitchen. She could work in the garden. She visited sick and poor people. She had a low opinion of her own virtue and worth. She was always silent in company; or if she said any thing, she did not shine in conversation. From what appears, we might suppose that she was utterly incapable of a brilliant thought. A gentleman might have watched her lips a whole evening and never have gained a single expression, that would be worth repeating in another company. I can't tell you all my feelings about Lucilla. But I am certain that if such a character has any excellencies, they are such excellencies as fine ladies generally despise. By such accomplishments as she possessed, no young lady in the town would think of gaining a husband of any value. By recommending such a book you have exposed your own weaknesses and ignorance. You certainly know nothing of the elegant accomplishments on which young ladies, at the present day, are depending for reputation. Should any young gentleman desire such a wife as Lu-
THE DIPLOMATIC POLICY OF MR. MADISON UNVEILED.
No. II.
BEFORE we endeavour to display to our readers one of the deepest, and most extraordinary political negotiations which our annals have recorded, a negotiation which establishes beyond a doubt a determination either to quarrel with Great-Britain, or to prevent a peace with her on any terms; it will be useful to consider whether we had a right to expect such conduct in Mr. Madison—whether it comports with, or is opposed to former views of his character.
This is extremely important both to him and to us in forming a correct judgement of his measures.—For if Mr. Madison has heretofore manifested an impartial and unbiased disposition towards the two great belligerents—if he has discovered a sincere wish to preserve a good understanding with Great-Britain, and a proper spirit of indignation at the injuries of France, it would require pretty strong evidence before we could believe him capable of forming so deliberate a plan to force the former into an open rupture.—If on the other hand, his late conduct shall appear to be perfectly consistent with the former history of his life—if a state of ill humour and ill will towards Great-Britain shall appear to have been the prevailing temperament of his mind, and especially if it shall turn out that he has acquired his influence with his own party chiefly by fostering such prejudices, surely it will not be deemed uncharitable to consider the unwearied pains which have been taken to produce an irreconcilable rupture, as resulting from a fixed and premeditated plan.
Mr. Madison came into Congress in the year 1778.—Our open alliance with France had just then taken place. The views, the ambitious and interested views which led the Cabinet of Versailles to adopt our cause, and which were so frankly acknowledged in Mr. Genet's instructions, were even at that early period discovered by the Delegates from the Eastern States. It was soon perceived that our independence was one of the last objects which entered into the policy of France. A separation from Great-Britain accompanied by such weakness on our part, as should render us dependent on herself, was the extent of her good will towards us.
It would astonish those, who are ignorant of the intriguing policy of France, to be informed what was the fact, that this ally so full of professions, moved every wheel in the political machine to prevent our growth, and to check our solid independence.—To this end, she early fomented a party in Congress.—To this end she even intrigued with our common enemy.—To this end she endeavoured to diminish our territorial claims.—To this end she opposed the cession of the Fisheries to us.—To this end in short she insisted that even our independence should not be a sine qua non of a treaty. But the most extraordinary part of this history is, that men could be found in our own councils ready to co-operate in the French views. It is however a fact, that there existed in Congress a Gallican and an Anti-Gallican interest—that the New-England Delegates were without an exception, of the latter description, and that Mr. Madison and a formidable party
belonged to the former. We do not mean to intimate actual corruption to which it is believed he was always superior, but strong prepossessions. It is a fact that our Ministers were instructed to follow the advice of Mons. de Vergennes , in relation to a peace—that it was even debated whether the fisheries should be made an indispensable condition, and that an attempt was made to censure Mr. Adams and Mr. Jay, for the honourable peace which in spite of French intrigues they had effected.
Thus early and deeply seated in the marrow, were Mr. Madison's Gallican prejudices, and it surely cannot excite surprise, that a man who in 1779 and 1780, could pause between the interest of the United States and the wishes of France, should in 1808 and 1809, glide over, nay almost gloss over the unexampled outrages of the same nation.
"With France, (says this guardian of our rights, when communicating to Congress the late inaffable letter of Champagny, indicating his Majesty's unalterable will,) with France the other belligerent, the posture of our affairs does not correspond with the measures taken on the part of the United States to effect a favourable change."
But whether this is owing to accident , to the failure of our despatches , or to the insolent pretensions of France, our Executive gives no intimation.—Why? Because every man in the nation reads the speech of the President, while a comparatively small part will ever see the insulting letter of Mr. Champagny.
Such are the two extremes of Mr. Madison's political life—such was he in 1779—such we find him in 1809. Let us now see how the intermediate series has been filled up. It is immaterial to the present discussion to consider his union with Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Jay in procuring the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and his subsequent desertion of the federal cause as soon as that Constitution went into operation. It is only with regard to his opinions as to our foreign relations, that the history of Mr. Madison is important in the present discussion.
Upon the breaking out of the war between Great-Britain and France, new and important duties and relations took place in the policy of the United States. General Washington resolved upon an impartial neutrality. The party which Mr. Madison has from that moment attached his fortunes, condemned that neutrality. Mr. Madison was one of the most strenuous opponents of it, and he wrote a series of political speculations to render that measure unpopular. When our difficulties with Great-Britain assumed a serious aspect, Mr. Madison was among the foremost to widen the breach, and to censure the steps adopted by Washington to restore a friendly intercourse between us and Great-Britain. He brought forward in the House of Representatives certain resolutions to defeat the principal objects of the President, and we owe to the eloquence of Mr. Adams, and to the vigorous stand which the inhabitants of Boston and of New-England generally made to Mr. Madison's propositions, the preservation of our country from the horrors of war, and the unexampled blessings which have flowed from the prudent and wise conduct of our illustrious President.
In this most critical period of our national affairs, we find Mr. Madison devoted to the policy of France, courting a contest with Great-Britain, and ready to hazard our best interests for the sake of his personal prepossessions. What reason have we to expect, that a man who was in favour of an alliance with France in 1794, when we were so little able to engage in a contest with any nation, should not at this moment entertain the same views when our own strength is so materially improved, and when his old, his long continued favourites, the French, increased beyond example in their power, are upon the point of accomplishing their views of universal dominion?
Mr. Madison, thwarted in his project of embarking the United States in the contest in favour of France, quitted the government in disgust, not to retire as a private citizen, to submit to measures which he could not control, but to fan the embers of civil dissention in his native state.
We next find him in the legislature of Virginia, opposing the measures of Mrs. Adams, and as chairman of a committee organising the whole force of that proud and imperial State against the measures, the constitutional measures of Congress. In this conduct also we discern his foreign prepossessions. Our country was then threatened with a war with France. To avoid the dangers to which we were exposed by French emissaries, the Alien and Sedition laws were passed. The whole scope and object of those laws was to Ad-

our nation of a set of spies with whom the intriguing policy of France fills every country she wishes to subdue. Mr. Madison, true to his first prejudices opposed these laws, though he well knew they were to operate only upon the publick enemies of our country.
The success of the machinations of Mr. Madison and his party is too well known. The Gallick interest triumphed over the interests of the American people; and Mr. Madison for the last eight years has been enjoying the fruits of thirty years most assiduous labours.
The history of Mr. Jefferson's administration is one continued tissue of devotion to France and of hostility to Britain; perfectly indeed correspondent to the professions and to the means by which they acquired power, but as certainly destructive of the best interests of the United States, as well as subversive of the honest principles of an imperial neutrality.
Is Mr. Madison accountable as Secretary of State for this policy? Is he to be presumed a partaker in it?
Mr. Madison is a man independent in his circumstances. If he is not, no apology can be made for any man who would not only consent to hold an office under an administration which was pursuing measures opposed to his sentiments, but who would consent to be the immediate organ of such measures. Mr. Madison not content with his official duties, has volunteered in defence of the measures of Mr. Jefferson, and it will eventually appear that he was not the dupe or the obedient slave of Mr. Jefferson, but the principal instigator of those measures, which, without the slightest occasion, have brought us to our present deplorable condition.
Such has been Mr. Madison. What he is we shall proceed to shew—but before I quit this subject, I must beg to be indulged in one or two remarks.
The leaders in every democratic government, but more especially in our own, however they may appear to lead, must in effect follow the popular impulse. It was said by some indiscreet persons, that Mr. Madison might count on the support of the federalists, and of a portion of his own party, if he should adopt a truly honest and impartial policy. This is a mistake, and Mr. Madison knows better. The history of McKean, and of Burr, and of Randolph, shews that there is no sort of compromise with democracy. They sacrifice without a struggle an old friend as they adopt a new one, like John Q. Adams, or if I may be allowed to name him in the same line, William Gray. Democratic leaders must follow, not dictate the measures of their dependents.
This cannot be more fully exemplified than in the late arrangement with Mr. Erskine. Was it an honest one? Was it serious? Why then not praised by the democrats? Why a studied and costive silence? Why a continuation of the abuse against Great-Britain? When known to be rejected, why such manifest delight? Why the appearance of a triumph? Why the exultation as if the United States had gained a battle?
This subject I shall again recur to with more distinct application.

II. The present peace is also declared to be common to his Majesty the King of Spain, his Majesty the King of Holland, his Majesty the King of Naples, his Majesty the King of Bavaria, his Majesty the King of Württemberg, his Majesty the King of Saxony, and his Majesty the King of Westphalia, his most eminent Highness the Prince Primate, their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke of Baden, the Grand Duke of Berg, the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, the Grand Duke of Wetzlar, and all the Princes and Members of the League of the Rhine, the allies in the present war of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the League of the Rhine.
III. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, cedes, as well for himself, his heirs and successors, as for the Princes of his House, their heirs and respective successors, the principalities, lordships, domains, and territories, hereinafter mentioned, and also all titles which may accrue from the possession of the same; and all properties whether manorial or held by them under an especial title, lying within the said territories.
1. He cedes and transfers to his Majesty the Emperor of the French, to form a part of the League of the Rhine, and to be placed at his disposition for the interest of the Sovereigns of the League:—
The territories of Salzburg and Berchtesgaden; that part of Upper Austria situate on the further side of a line running from the Danube, at the village of Strass, therein comprehending Weissenkirchen, Wedersdorf, Michelsbach, Greist, Macken-hofen, Heist, and Jedina; thence in the direction of Schwandstadt, the town of Schwandstadt on the Alps, and thence ascending along the bank of that river, and the lake of the same name, to the point where the lake touches upon the territory of Salzburg.
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria shall only retain property the woods belonging to the Satz Cammer Go, and forming part of the manor of Monssee, with liberty to cut and carry thence the brushwood, but without enjoying any right of sovereignty upon that territory.
2. He also cedes to his Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, the county of Galtin, the manor of Montefalcone, the government and city of Trieste, Carniola, with its dependencies on the Gulf of Trieste, the Circle of Villach in Carinthia, and all the territories lying on the right bank of the Saave, from the point where that river leaves Carniola along its course to where it touches the frontiers of Bosnia: nathely, a part of Provincial Croatia, six districts of Military Croatia, Fiume, and the Hungarian Littorale, Austrian Istria, or the district of Catus, the islands depending on the ceded territories, and all other territories, howsoever named, upon the right bank of the Saave—the middle stream of the said river serving as the boundary between the two States.
Lastly, the Lordships of Radzuns lying in the Graunhunderland.
3. He cedes and makes over to his Majesty the King of Saxony, the territory of Bohemia, depending upon and included in the territory of the kingdom of Saxony; namely, the parishes and villages of Guntersdorff, Tauhäntranke, Gerlochsheim, Lenkersdorff, Schirgiswald, Winkle, &c.
4. He cedes and makes over to the King of Saxony, to be united to the Duchy of Warsaw, the whole of Western or New Galicia, a district round Cracow, on the right bank of the Vistula, to be hereafter ascertained, and the Circle of Zamose, in Eastern Galicia.
The district round Cracow, upon the right bank of the Vistula, shall, in the direction of Podgorze, have for its circumference the distance from Podgorze to Wieliczka. The line of demarcation shall pass through Wieliczka, and to the westward touch upon Seawina, and to the eastward upon the Beck, which falls into the Vistula at Brzegy.
Wieliczka and the whole of the territory of the Salt pits, shall belong in common to the Emperor of Austria, and the King of Saxony. Justice shall be administered therein in the name of the Municipal Power; there shall be quartered there only the troops necessary for the support of the Police, and they shall consist of equal numbers of those of both nations. The Austrian salt from Wieliczka, in its conveyance over the Vistula, and through the Duchy of Warsaw, shall not be subject to any tolls or duties. Corn of all kinds, raised in Austrian Galicia, may also be freely exported across the Vistula.
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and his Majesty the King of Saxony, may form such an arrangement with regard to these boundaries, as that the San, from the point where it touches upon the circle of Zamose, to its confluence with the Vistula, shall serve as the line of demarcation between both states.
5. He cedes and makes over to his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, in the easternmost part of Galicia, a tract of territory containing a population of 400,000 souls the city of Brodi being, nevertheless, not therein included. This territory shall be amicably ascertained by commissioners on the part of both Empires.
IV. The Teutonic Order having been abolished in the states of the League of the Rhine, his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, in the name of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Anthony, abdicates the grand mastership of that order in his states, and recognises the dispositions taken with regard to the property of the order, locally situated out of the Austrian territory. Pensions shall be assigned to those who have been on the civil establishment of the order.
V. The debts funded upon the territory of the ceded provinces, and allowed by the states of the said provinces, or accruing from expenses incurred for their administration, shall alone follow the fate of those provinces.
VI. The provinces which are to be restored to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, shall be administered for his behoof by the Austrian constituted authorities, from the day of exchanging the ratification of the present treaty; and the imperial domains, where soever situated, from the first of November next. It is nevertheless understood, that the French army in this country shall take for their use whatever articles cannot be supplied by their magazines for the subsistence of the troops and the wants of the hospitals; and also whatever shall be necessary for the conveyance of their sick, and the evacuation of their magazines.
An arrangement shall be made between the high contracting parties respecting all war contributions, of whatever denomination, previously imposed on the Austrian provinces occupied by the French and allied troops; in consequence of which arrangement the levying of the said contributions shall cease from the day of the exchange of the ratifications.
VII. His Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, engages to give no obstruction to the importation or exportation of merchandise into and from Austria, by way of the port of Fiume; this, nevertheless, not being construed to include English goods or manufactures. The transit duties on the goods thus imported or exported, shall be lower than upon those of all other nations, the kingdom of Italy excepted.
An inquiry shall be instituted, to ascertain whether any advantage can be allowed to the Austrian trade, in the other ports ceded by this treaty.
VIII. The titles of domains, archives, plans and maps of the countries, towns, and fortresses ceded, shall be given up within two months after the period of the ratification.
IX. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, engages to discharge the yearly interest, arrears, and capitals, invested in securities of the government, State Bank, Lottery, or other publick establishment, by subjects, companies, or corporate bodies in France, the kingdom of Italy and the Grand Duchy of Berg.
Measures shall also be taken, to completely relinquish the sum due to Mont St. Theresa, now Mont Napoleon, at Milan.
X. His Majesty the Emperor of the French engages to procure a full and complete pardon for the inhabitants of the Tyrol and Vorarlberg, who had taken a part in the insurrection; so that they shall not be prosecuted either in person or property.
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria equally engages to grant a full and complete pardon to those inhabitants of the territories of Galicia of which he returns into possession, whether civil or military, publick officers or private individuals, who have taken part in the levying of troops, or the formation of judicial or municipal administrations, or in any other proceeding whatever during the war, which inhabitant shall not be prosecuted in their persons or property.
They shall have permission during a period of six years, to dispose of their properties, of whatever description they may be; to sell their estates, even those who have been considered inalienable, such as fidei commissum and majoratus ; to leave the country, and to carry with them the produce of these sales, in specie, or the effects of any other description, without paying any duty for the same, or experiencing any difficulty or obstruction.
The same permission, and for the same period, shall be reciprocally allowed to the inhabitants and landholders in the territories ceded by the present Treaty.
The inhabitants of the Duchy of Warsaw, possessing landed estates in Austrian Galicia, whether publick officers or private individuals, shall enjoy the revenues thereof, without paying any duty thereon, or experiencing any obstructions.
XI. Within six weeks from the exchange of the present Treaty, posts shall be erected, to make the boundaries of Cracow, upon the right bank of the Vistula. For this purpose there shall be nominated Austrian, French, and Saxon Commissioners. The same measures shall be adopted within the same period upon the frontiers of Upper Austria, Salzburgh, Willach, and Carniola, as far as the Saave. The Thalweg (stream) of the Saave shall determine what island of that river shall belong to each power. For this purpose French and Austrian Commissioners shall be nominated.
XII. A military Convention shall be forthwith entered into, to regulate the respective periods within which the various provinces restored to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria shall be evacuated.

LONDON, November 9.
Some rise in the price of stocks had been attributed to the rumour of a negotiation being about to be opened for peace. A Flag of Truce was said last night to have arrived at Dover, and it was added that Louis Bonaparte had assured his Senate there would be a general peace in a few months. There is not, we believe, the least foundation for the rumour. Nothing can be more unlikely than a negotiation, nothing more impracticable than peace at the present moment. There would be infinitely more danger in making peace under the existing circumstances, than in continuing the war; and this we are sure is the feeling and conviction of the whole empire. It may be that the rise has been produced by a rumour of its being the intention of the Bank to make a large increase of its accommodation to the mercantile interests.
An expedition has sailed from Malta, the object of which is differently stated—
some suppose it to be destined to take possession of the Seven Islands, which are said to have shown symptoms of revolt—others imagine that it is gone to take possession of some of the Greek Islands, with the concurrence of the Turkish government.
November 10.
Expectations are entertained in France that the Americans will make common cause with France and the Northern powers against this country. The following observations are extracted from a recent number of a periodical work published at Paris, the political part of which is under the direction of a Member of the Senate:—
"In fact, the peace with Russia is but the happy prelude to that which is about to unite all the Northern flags, like a fasces, against that flag which pretends to keep them all in a state of humiliation. It is beyond a doubt that Sweden will treat with Denmark, with Prussia, and obtain from France oblivion of the past. On their side, the United States approximate as much as possible the Powers of the North by bringing, as a first guarantee of their amicable dispositions, the resentment which has been produced by the conduct of England towards them. Their Ambassador to Russia is arrived at Copenhagen. The Americans do more—they have rejected the English Minister, Mr. Jackson."
"Every thing then induces us to believe that by supporting nobly the contest in which they are engaged by honour and a well understood interest, the Americans will not lose sight of the memorable words addressed to them by his Majesty the Emperor of the French, through the medium of his Minister for foreign affairs—that the intentions and motives of that Monarch will be judged, as well as the acts of which he makes mention; and that, conformably to the wise advice and useful encouragement contained in it, the English will soon find in the North of the two Hemispheres, a long chain, by which their vessels will be stopped, and their pride rebuked."
If we may credit the statement of some of our contemporaries, the evacuation of Walcheren has been determined upon; upon the representation of General Don, who is said to have declared that "if his Majesty's Minister command to attempt the retention of the Island, he will sacrifice his life in its defence, without a murmur; but he feels it his duty, both to government and to the brave army on that station, to represent the urgent expediency of evacuating it; and unless this determination be adopted without delay, the greatest difficulties may arise in affecting the embarkation of the sick."
Congress.

By the Mails.
NEW-YORK, December 18. From Washington, to the Editor of the Freeman's Journal.
"THE HONOUR OF A SOLDIER." SEVERAL new and very serious charges against the "Patriot Chief," Don James Wilkinson, are filed at the War-Office, such as delinquency in the settlement of accounts, violation of the Embargo, (O
"The most worthless part of Society"—(Jefferson.) Disobedience of orders, &c.—The officers of that department state one more curious piece of business in which this purse hero is not a little implicated. A number of horses were purchased in Kentucky, ostensibly for the publick, were fed and transported to New-Orleans at the expense of the publick, and sold to the publick at a price far exceeding their real cost or real value. The receipts of the payment for these horses are signed by one Frederick Cohagen, formerly an officer at Stoll's Hotel in this city, a man not worth a cent. The circumstance of Cohagen's being known here is the only one which led to the detection of this abominable imposition. No wonder the General fell sick on the way to this city.
December 19. We have seen letters from Washington, which concur in stating, that there is an evident disposition in Congress, to remove all restrictions upon commerce. One of the letters expresses a belief, that Mr. Randolph will not be able to take his seat this session. This is much to be regretted.
Mr. Elliot, the correspondent of the Evening Post, under date of Thursday evening, says, the committee of foreign relations, that day, reported a plan of operations, something like this:—
"To interdict the entrance into our ports of all British and French vessels, armed or unarmed—to repeal the non-intercourse law—and suffer our vessels to go where they please. The question of arming is undecided.
A letter from Washington of the 14th inst. mentions, that J. G. Jackson had been brought to the seat of government, and was in a fair way of recovering.
GOOD NEWS FROM SPAIN. Official accounts from the North of Spain dated early in October, state, that "the Kingdom of Navarre was then a state of general insurrection against the French—a person by the name of Robles had performed prodigies of valour against them; a plan had been laid for taking Pamplona, but the French discovered it, and put a number of persons to death. The Patriotick cause was taking strong root—Biscay, and in general all went on well. In Biscay they had captured 84 French horsemen, with their Captain, guided by the famous traitor Amoros, a great friend of Godoy, who was immediately beheaded. Near Cuidad Rodrigo, the Patriots had taken the French battering train; and Marshal Ney, who calculated on besieging that city, has been completely beaten.
BOSTON, December 20. EXTRACT OF A LETTER. "New-York, December 16, 1809. "Many persons here are apprehensive the rupture with Mr. Jackson will lead to serious events:—But all accounts from Washington make it evident Congress do not anticipate such events. We see by the last Congressional proceedings, that a bill to allow recruiting for the army, by repealing the law preventing it, has been laid over to August! I think, however, we ought to guard against the worst."
AMERICAN NAVY. The Secretary of the Navy, in his report to Congress of the 1st inst. states, the whole number of vessels belonging to the United States to be, 9 frigates, 2 ships, 5 brigs, 2 schooners, 1 cutter, 4 bomb, and 170 gun-boats. Of these, 4 frigates, 2 ships, the 5 brigs, 2 schooners, the cutter, 2 bombs, and 22 gun-boats, are in commission, and ready for sea. The rest are in ordinary at various ports.
A French convoy from Toulon to Barcelona has been intercepted by Lord Collingwood, and captured or dispersed.—Of the convoying ships, two of the line were run on shore and blown up. The explosion was heard at Nismes.
Providence, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1809.
An extract from a London paper, published in Paris to-day, furnishes matter of curious political speculation. That extract bears date the 10th of November last, and is itself said to be taken from a periodical work published at Paris, under the inspection of a member of the French Senate. It states that the American ambassador, the apostate John Q. Adams, had arrived in Copenhagen, and then follows an assertion, that "they, (the Americans,) had rejected the English Minister, Mr. Jackson."—On the first day of November, Mr. Jackson was rejected by our government. Now by what kind of legerdemain was this fact known in France before it actually happened in America? Are we to conclude that our ambassador was acquainted with the secrets of our Cabinet, and made known to the French government before they had actually transpired? Or shall we, to avoid this hypothesis, believe that this member of the French government was gifted with prophecy? If these conjectures are correct, we find a clue to the secrets of our Cabinet, which reveals the dismissal of Mr. Jackson much better than the avowed motive of Mr. Smith, viz. an assertion that our government were acquainted with Mr. Erskine's incompetence. It may be safer to believe that the member of the French
Senate was a prophet, and that resolves the mystery at once.
To those who have known the impassioned delivery, the chaste and correct sentiments of President Nott, the beauty of his arrangement, or his bold and energetic language, all encomium on his works will be superfluous. It would be like an attempt to convince us that the sun shone at noon-day, when the testimony of our own senses established the fact. But it may be necessary to inform those who never had the pleasure of listening to the eloquence of President Nott, that they may in some measure retrieve their misfortune, by lending their patronage to a volume of Sermons which he has prepared for the press. In the composition of this gentleman, piety is recommended by all the allurements that fancy can proffer.—Sound taste, sound morality, and sound orthodoxy all harmonize together, and strange must be the mind which cannot be affected by such a combination.
To the Editors of the Rhode-Island American. I HAVE, Messrs. Editors, looked as attentively as I could, with the two orbs which nature has given me, on the late correspondence of Mr. Smith and Mr. Jackson, and maugre Mr. Giles, I am unable to discover an insinuation from the British Minister, either covert or overt, that our administration knew that Mr. Erskine was incompetent to act. On the most attentive perusal, it seems as if Mr. Smith was determined to put words into Mr. Jackson's mouth, and then to charge him as the original asserter of the fact. Mr. Jackson in his answer neither admits nor denies it, and Mr. Smith reiterates his assertion.—Finding that the British Minister preserves the same neutrality of assertion, he finds it beneath the dignity of our Cabinet to hold any further correspondence with him. I can declare candidly that the first inkling I ever had, that Mr. Jackson made the assertion, came from the declaration of Mr. Smith. On looking over the letter of the British Minister again, I was unable to put my finger on the paragraph which broke up the negotiation, and put our national dignity into so dismal a quandary. Mr. Smith it is true makes Mr. Jackson use such offensive expressions, and then closes the correspondence. Our lynx-eyed politicians have discovered a meaning in Mr. Jackson's words, which no interpretation can bear, and then dismiss him by a construction of their own. B.

Miscellaneous Works of Dr. Nott.
PROPOSALS, FOR PUBLISHING A VOLUME OF MISCELLANEOUS WORKS, BY ELIPHALET NOTT, D. D. PRESIDENT OF UNION COLLEGE. THE VOLUME WILL COMPRISE HIS SERMONS, ALREADY PUBLISHED IN SEPARATE PAMPHLETS, TOGETHER WITH HIS LADDAU GRADUATE ADDRESS.
FOR presenting to the publick the works of an eloquent preacher, the publisher conceives that no apology is necessary. He well knows that the many single sermons which almost daily issue from the press, useful indeed by the pious instructions they contain, have no peculiar merit in their composition which should preserve them from oblivion. The Sermons and Addresses of Dr. Nott, however, are not of this ephemeral class. In them are found united the glowing eloquence of a SAURIN, and the humble piety of the humblest follower of Jesus. The man of taste may read them for amusement, and the Christian for instruction. Though divested of whatever adventitious advantages they derived from the persuasive eloquence of his delivery; yet on a calm perusal they will give no feeble proofs of intrinsic excellence. To an attempt at a critical analysis of his peculiar style, the publisher confesses himself inadequate. It is sufficient for him to say that they have met with general approbation, evinced not only by the great popularity of his works, but by the applauses of the ablest critics in Europe and America.
CONDITIONS. I. The volume will contain between 250 and 300 octavo pages, printed with a new type, on fine paper. II. The price, in boards, to subscribers, will be One Dollar and Twenty-Five Cents. Subscriptions for the above work received at the American Office. December 22, 1809.

The subscriber offers for sale the follow- ing valuable Property: THIRTY ONE House and Store Lots, situated in High-Street, on the Plan- leading to and adjoining on the Estate now occupied by Mrs. C. Olney. These Lots are most advantageously situated for Stores to command the principal country trade, or for House Lots. It is notorious that no landed property increases with the rapidi- ty it does in this quarter of the town.— Stores are already run out nearly to his line, and business increased and increasing there to a degree sufficient justly to alarm the Landholders in other parts of the town. Also—Fifteen acres of Land directly back, and adjoining the above described House Lots; part of which was seeded down to grass last Spring and is highly ma- nured.
One House Lot on Constitution Hill, fronting 50 feet on Stamper's-Street, on which there is a Barn paying an annual rent, which can be removed if the pur- chaser wishes. One large three story Store, situated in the centre of this town, (now occupied by Mr. Samuel Nightingale, jun. as a Flour and Grocery Store,) being a most valuable stand for business. Twenty acres of Woodland, situated in Johnston, about eight miles from the Great Bridge, on which there is a growth of very excellent timber.
Twenty-one acres of Woodland situated in North-Providence, adjoining Lands of the heirs of the late Messrs. Clark and Nightingale, (commonly called the Ruten- burg place.) On this Lot there are a very valuable quantity of Building Stones. One Share in the Ohio Purchase con- taining about 1100 acres. Two Rights in the township of Navy, in the State of Vermont, of about eight hundred acres, on one of which Rights there is erected a Saw and Grist-Mill. Five Shares in the Rhode-Island and Connecticut Turnpike Company. The travelling on this road increases to an astonishing degree, and the prospects are at present favourable for a dividend of 6 or 8 per cent. on the capital Stock. One Share in the Thompson Turnpike Company, which now pays 8 per cent. Any of the above Property will be sold on liberal terms for cash or approved credit.
The subscriber continues to carry on the Paper Manufacturing Business in its vari- ous branches, and has now on hand the kind usually called for.—Manufacturers of Cotton Yarn can be supplied with large extra Wrapping Paper of a very durable quality.
