Latest European News,
By the ship Bath, Capt. Thrasher, from Liverpool, arrived at Boston since our last. London dates to February 10, 1801. Five days the latest.
SMYRNA, DEC. 16. An English fleet of 140 sail, has arrived here, having Gen. Abercrombie and 18,000 troops on board. They took fresh provisions at Rhodes, and are bound to Egypt.
CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 14. Intelligence of the arrival of the English army off the coast of Jaffa, having been received, the Grand Seigneur has ordered provisions and warlike stores to be collected for the fleet and army. The plan of operations is thus agreed on. The Grand Vizier proceeds from El Arish with 90,000 men, against Cairo; while the English are to advance from Jaffa against Alexandria. Another corps, of 12,000 English, will co-operate from India, by the Red Sea.
DEC. 28. Gen. Tamara, the Russian Ambassador, has presented the Porte a Note, demanding that the English troops be prevented landing in or acting against Egypt, and intimating the permission would be considered an act of hostility by the Court of Petersburg. This measure has occasioned the most general consternation, and an extra Divan has been held.
Lord Keith's fleet has experienced a violent storm, which has disabled six Turkish men of war at Rhodes. Lord Elgin has purchased 800 Turkish horses, to mount the British cavalry. His Lordship is to succeed Mr. Smith.
ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 6. Gen. Knorring has obtained a victory in Grusina, over the Omer Chan, of Avaria. The Omer lost 2000 men and 11 colours. The Emperor has ordered three armies to be formed, at Brest, in Lithuania; at Yolimnia, and at Witebsk.
STOCKHOLM, JAN. 20. Preparations are making for fitting 7 sail of the line, and 3 frigates, agreeably to the Treaty of Neutrality.
COPENHAGEN, JAN. 24. Gen. Lowendahl has gone as Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of Petersburg. He bears the ratification of the Treaty of Neutrality. The Russian Minister to our Court has suddenly departed for Hamburg.
Great Britain & Northern Powers.
LONDON, FEB. 8. The private letters by the mail of yesterday state, that though the intelligence of embargo laid on our ports on Danish and Swedish ships had created a great alarm, the Court of Copenhagen had resolved to abstain from all intemperate and imprudent retaliation. No attempt would be made to interrupt the navigation of the Elbe, indeed, though the Danish fortresses below Hamburg might have prevented our communication, it must have been deemed a violation of the line of neutrality, taken under the protection of Prussia, had the Danes availed themselves of these opportunities. A great deal, therefore, must depend on the conduct of the Cabinet of Berlin. Accounts from Prague of the 26th ult. say, that conferences are speedily to be held at Brussels, between the Ministers Plenipotentiary of Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, and France, relative to the convention between the four Northern Powers, and their respective connections with England.
It seems probable that a peace between France and Turkey and Naples will be concluded, under the mediation of Russia; but there are additional reasons from this to conclude that His Sicilian Majesty will be obliged to renounce his connection with this country, and to shut all his ports against us.
The Algerine Courier who lately arrived at our Court, through France, was charged by the Dey with assurances of the most animated friendship and attachment towards his Majesty. His dispatches have for object an extension of our commercial intercourse with Algiers, and an offer on the part of the Dey, to furnish such supplies of grain to Malta and to England as his country may be competent to afford, or our occasion requires. In opposition to the statements in the Parisian Journals, he has promised to respect Maltese property; and for the security of the trade he is desirous to promote with England he recommends a British frigate being stationed on his coast.
Change in British Ministry.
FEB. 10. Mr. Pitt's administration is dissolved; but it hath left "its wreck behind." The dissensions in the Cabinet, strange to tell, rose out of the Union! It was necessary for the carrying of that measure, that the High Church Party in Ireland should be admitted to a share of power in this country; and it was equally necessary that certain promises should be made the Catholics. Mr. Pitt was the advocate for the Catholic Emancipation. He could not carry the question; and finds himself obliged to make a shew of withdrawing, in favor of some relation. The other changes will wear some thing of the same complexion.
The emancipation of the Irish Catholics has occasioned serious disputes in the Cabinet for some time. Marquis Cornwallis and Lord Castlereagh, pledged themselves to obtain it. His Majesty has, however, been advised by a majority of the Privy Council to refuse it. Mr. Pitt declared the faith of government pledged to the Catholics. He was, however, beaten on the question, and the influence of Lord Clare prevailed. On this Mr. Pitt told the King, he could not undertake to carry on his affairs any longer. Mr. Addington interposed as a mediator; and was elevated a long time with his Majesty; in the conference it was agreed, that Mr. Pitt should continue to conduct the public affairs, and the emancipation should not make a part of the speech. At the opening of the session, Mr. Pitt, however, saw symptoms of defection; which convinced him his power was gone. A number of the King's friends were ab-
sent; and out of thirty Bishops, but eight voted for the Address. He then resolved to retire, and tendered his resignation to his Majesty; but with an assurance, that he would not desert the station until his Majesty could call men to his Councils, who had not the same feelings with himself on the emancipation. On Thursday the dissolution of the Ministry took place; by the resignation of Mr. Pitt, Mr. Dundas, Earl Spencer, Lord Grenville and Mr. Windham; but with the declaration to keep the seals and keys until their successors should be appointed.
It is supposed, that Mr. Addington will succeed Mr. Pitt. Lord Hawkesbury, do. Mr. Dundas. Duke of Clarence, do. Earl Spencer. Lord Auckland, do. Mr. Windham. Earl St. Vincent, do. Earl Chatham. Lord Malmesbury, do. Mr. G. L. Gower. Earl Maccartney, do. Lord Grenville. Lord Castlereagh, do. Mr. Canning. Sir Lawrence Parsons, do. Mr. T. Grenville. Duke of Kent, do. Marq. Cornwallis. Lord Loughborough, to be Lord Privy Seal. Lord Eldon, to be Lord Chancellor, and Sir John Mitford, to be Speaker. This, however, is all conjecture.
One object of the new administration will be, another attempt at negotiation with Bonaparte; and a passport is to be asked for Lord St. Helens to go to Paris.
IMPORTANT. Yesterday, Mr. Abraham Newland, from the Bank of England, read the following paper at the Stock Exchange:—
"The Governor of the Bank is desired to give public notice, that, although the present Chancellor of the Exchequer is about to retire from office, it is not his intention to resign until the new administration is formed, and qualified to execute its public duties; and that he will raise the supplies for the current year at the time he intended, as if such event had not taken place."
The Candidates for the Loan are to wait upon Mr. Pitt on Thursday next to know the amount that he intends to fund for the service of the current year, and to converse on the preliminaries of the contract. It appears therefore that Mr. Pitt is to continue in his place until after the 18th instant, to open his budget, and procure the supplies for the new administration.
Mr. Addington, it has been determined is to be both Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer, as was first proposed, the Duke of Portland having preferred remaining in his present office. Lord Hawkesbury, it is said, will be Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Lord Maccartney be placed at the head of the Board of Control; but the office of War Minister is not to be united with that, as before, in the person of Mr. Dundas.
"These changes in the administration do not by any means give satisfaction to the public. The people discover in them nothing but a change of men, not of measures. What they wanted was not only the removal of the Ministers, but the abandonment of the principles upon which they have acted. It requires therefore very little penetration, to see that the new Administration, if it be to consist of the men abovenamed, is not likely to be permanent. No administration, perhaps, will be permanent, but one which shall determine to act upon principles very different from those which influenced the late Ministers, and which have reduced us to a situation of such difficulty and danger."
Courier. By his Coronation oath his Majesty is bound to oppose the Catholic Emancipation. —In that oath he swears, "I promise to the utmost of my power to maintain the laws of GOD, the true profession of the gospel, and the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law; and I will preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of this realm, and to the churches committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges as by law appertain to them."
Of the Brest Fleet.
BREST, Feb. 5. Rear-Admiral Gartheume has put to sea, with the wind at N. N. E. We confidently trust, that with the half of this breeze he will make considerable way. The next day the whole British fleet appeared off the port. The squadron which has failed, is composed of the Indivisible, of 80 guns, Vice-Ad. Gartheume; Formidable, of 80; Indomptable, 80; Delais, 74; Jean Bart, 74; Dix Aout, 74; Constitution, 74; Creole, 40; Bravoure, 40; and Vautour, of 14. Gen. Sanfey and L'Escalier are on board the Indivisible.
LONDON, FEB. 6. A squadron has certainly escaped out of Brest. The Concorde frigate, which arrived late on Tuesday evening at Plymouth, from Lisbon, fell in on the 26th ult. with a French squadron, 30 leagues off Cape Finisterre, consisting of five sail of the line and two frigates. By the course they were steering, it is supposed that the Mediterranean is their destination. The Concorde brought one of the frigates to close action, and would certainly have captured her, had not the other frigate bore down to her assistance. The Concorde had 5 men killed, and 13 wounded.
The French squadron which seems at length to have escaped the vigilance of our cruisers off Brest, consisted, according to the observation made on board the Concorde frigate, of five sail of the line and two frigates.—By the first accounts from our fleet, it consisted of seven sail of the line and three frigates, so that probably two ships of the line and a frigate had been obliged to put back to Brest, either by having suffered damage, or from their inability to get out of Berthaume Bay, along with the others.
Further Particulars.
PLYMOUTH, FEB. 4. Late last evening arrived here his Majesty's ship Concorde, of 36 guns, Capt. Barton, from the Lisbon station: on her arrival, an officer, it is said, went off immediately, by Express, for London. It appears, that on her voyage to England, she fell in, on the 26th ult. about 30 leagues from Cape Finisterre, with five sail of French line of battle ships, and two frigates, which gave chase to her, and a partial action soon took place between her and one of the frigates, when the other French frigate bearing down upon her,
and the line of battle ships being, at no great distance, the Concorde was obliged to make sail from them in a running fight, to prevent being captured: during the engagement, the Concorde had 4 men killed and 15 wounded, and the ship was very much cut in her hull, masts, sails and rigging: she is now going up Hamoaze to refit.
By the number of ships, of which the French squadron was composed, it seems likely to be the one that was chased and blocked up in Villaine-Bay, by the ships under the command of Sir Edward Pellew: if so, they have escaped the vigilance of that active and persevering officer by some unlooked for circumstance, that favoured their designs, and which he had not the power to guard against or prevent: by the course they were steering, it is very probable, that their destination may be for Egypt; or as some others suppose, were bound on a cruise for the purpose of intercepting the English convoys. A very large fleet for Lisbon, Oporto, and the Mediterranean, are now on their voyage, under the escort of a few frigates; and a very large fleet at Oporto have been waiting a convoy to bring them to England, for some months past. Whether either of these may be the object of this squadron's cruise, time will disclose.
P. S. The French squadron were steering N. W. at the time the Concorde fell in with them; the action between her and the French frigate was short but smart, and the Frenchman's fire was soon silenced, and she would have been in possession soon, had not the squadron bore down to her assistance. The Concorde had 5 men killed, and 20 wounded, 5 of the latter mortally. It is supposed, that the squadron got out of port in a snow storm, but their destination is not known: the Concorde had a Swede in tow from Nantz to Malaga, which she cast off.
Various other Affairs.
LONDON, Feb. 9. Letters from Jersey and Guernsey mention the apprehensions of an attack from the French; who are collecting at St. Maloes, Granville, and Cherbourg, numerous bodies of troops.
Letters from St. Marcou, dated on Wednesday, also report, that the enemy are in motion along the coast, and that numerous gun and flat-bottomed boats are collecting at Igny and La Hogue. The statement in all the papers, of the people on board a Flag of Truce that had failed from Dover some days ago, having been refused permission at Calais to land, is totally void of foundation. On the contrary, the persons on board that Flag of Truce did land, and nothing more occurred in this instance, than has been usual during the whole of the War, with vessels dispatched from Dover, under similar circumstances.
EGYPT.
Accounts are received of the arrival of Gen. Abercrombie at Jaffa, with 18000 British troops, to assist in compelling the French to evacuate Egypt. The Turks were preparing to co-operate. A British force was (it is said) to be landed on the side of the Red Sea, to aid in the enterprise; but we have heard, that the English failed in an effort to debark at Suez. The Emperor of Russia has remonstrated to the Porte against allowing the British to enter Egypt, in his usual style. The Turks are threatened on every side—and are weak on every side.—Justice may be with them; but Power regards her not.
FEB. 6. The letters from Lisbon, by yesterday's mail, express no kind of alarm respecting the preparations for invading Portugal, of which we have heard so much in the French papers. The reason seems however to be sufficiently obvious, if we may credit many of the letters, which state, that a Treaty of Peace has been absolutely concluded between Portugal and France. The former, it is said, agreed to give a considerable sum in Moidores as the price of her safety. It is plain that whatever might be the terms proposed, Portugal had no alternative. No force which she could command, or this country could furnish, would be able to oppose with effect that which the enemy could bring against her, now that the French have no German enemy to contend with.

BALTIMORE, March 14.
COPY OF AN ADDRESS From the New-Jerusalem Church, in the City of Baltimore, To Thomas Jefferson, Esq. President of the United States of America.
Sir, IT is with singular pleasure and profound respect, that we, the minister and acting committee of the New Jerusalem Church, in the city of Baltimore, beg leave to congratulate you on your accession to the chief magistracy of our beloved country—a country, hitherto eminently favoured by the divine Providence with a peculiar degree of civil and religious liberty.
The present sanguinary and turbulent aspect of the Eastern Continent, is doubtless truly painful to every philanthropic and disinterested lover of mankind—but still, the heavenly doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church, confirm us in the belief, that "God rides on the whirlwind and directs the storm;"—and encourage us to anticipate, with indescribable sensations, an approaching period—"A consummation devoutly to be wished for," when genuine charity, liberality and brotherly kindness towards all who differ from us in mere opinion, shall become the "order of the day."—when theology, philosophy and politics, shall, like "gold seven times tried in the fire;" lose all their "dross and tin;" and when reason and religion, shall fully unite their
sacred and powerful influence, in promoting "peace on earth, and good will amongst all men."
With the most fervent and sincere prayers, that the Lord God of Hosts, may long preserve and keep you, and the nation over which you now preside, "from all evil;"—and richly replenish your will and understanding, with such divine affections and perceptions, as may eminently qualify you for the exalted and important station you are now called unto.
We remain, sir, with due respect, yours, &c. &c.

THE PRESIDENT'S ANSWER.
Washington, 11th March, 1801.
Sir, I BEG leave to return you my thanks, and through you, to the acting committee of the New Jerusalem Church, in the city of Baltimore, for your friendly congratulations.
I deplore, with you, the present sanguinary and turbulent state of things in the Eastern world, and look forward to the restoration of peace, and progress of information, for the promotion of genuine charity, liberality and brotherly kindness towards those who differ from us in opinion.
The philanthropy which breathes through the several expressions of your letter, are a pledge that you will endeavour to diffuse the sentiments of benevolence among our fellow men, and to inculcate the important truth, that they promote their own happiness by nourishing kind and friendly dispositions towards others.
Commending your endeavours to the Being in whose hands we are, I beg you to accept assurances of my perfect confidence and respect. THOMAS JEFFERSON. The Rev. JOHN HARGROVE.
NEW-YORK, MARCH 9.
The ship Christiansburg, commanded by Hans Christian Mads, arrived in the port of New-York on the 5th inst. brought clean Bills of Health from Cadiz—She had no person sick on board during her voyage from this port to Cadiz and back. The commander of this ship says, "The fever was almost entirely gone, except a few who died at the Hospital"—and adds, that "The merchants for a month before he failed, were returning to prosecute their business." The fever continued its ravages at Seville.
March 19.
Extract of a letter from the supercargo of the Schooner Thomas, of Baltimore, dated Kingston, Jamaica February 11th, 1801.
"I am sorry to inform you we were again captured by an English frigate, the third day after leaving Currao, and arrived at Port Royal about a week since; we got up here with the Schooner yesterday. The captain and officers of the British frigate did not deign even to examine our papers, and gave no other reason for detaining us than that they should capture all American vessels, that they might meet with, not bound to, or from British or neutral ports."
TRENTON, March 17.
We learn from Chesterfield township, Burlington county, that on Saturday night last, the dwelling-house of Mr. Humphrey Wall, was consumed by fire with all its contents. It is conjectured, that Mr. Wall and his House-keeper perished in the flames, as they were not seen at the time of the fire nor heard of the next morning—we have not learned in what manner the house took fire, but it is supposed by accident.

FROM HAVANNA.
Touched in brig Nancy, N. Wardwell, 16 days from Havanna, bound to Bristol. Capt. W. informs that it was currently reported and believed in the Havanna, when he failed, that Gen. Toussaint (the black commander of St. Domingo,) in concert with the English, had premeditated an attack on that place;—the Governor in consequence had ordered the Morocastle and the other forts double manned and the Citizens were in the greatest consternation, many of whom were under arms.
BOSTON, MARCH 25.

A majority of the members of the Council of appointment of New-York, have memorialized the Legislature, on the subject of the difference between them and the Governor. But the difference still exists.
FLOUR.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in London, to their friend in this country, dated 15th January, 1801.
"We have written to you under date of the 1st, 10th and 14th inst. In the first we mentioned that as high a price as 90s. per barrel, for superfine flour, and 88s. for fine do. was secured to the importers, if the ship had cleared out from America betwixt the 10th of January and 27th March, and which we extracted from the votes of the house of commons; but we find that though it was certainly the intention of the legislature, it has, by some mistake, never received the royal assent, and must fall to the ground, as that parliament has since been dissolved. Measures may be taken to grant relief; but for fear it should not take place, we wish you to apprise our friends of the state of the case." N. T. P.
It is said that about the 20th of Jan. four frigates and two corvettes arrived at Cayenne from France, with 1800 troops, and brought in the British sloop of war Swallow, and 17 English and Portuguese vessels, with articles for the British forces in the West-Indies; and money.
It is said Duane, Editor of the Aurora, applied to the President for the office of Postmaster General; but was not successful.
It is remarkable that the first appointment of the new President was of a Federalist—Mr. Wagner, to be his private secretary.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 26.
On Monday last a decent-dressed woman went into a store in this city, and enquired for chintzes and Irish linens. The store-keepers, handed down those articles. The woman, after examining them for some time, said she did not want them for herself, but for a lady in Old town, and would thank the gentleman to send them over for her inspection; one of whom immediately took up three pieces of chintz and one of Irish linen chosen by this woman, and set out, accompanied by her, for the residence of this pretended lady. After they had proceeded some considerable distance, the woman stopped suddenly, and said she had left her gloves at the store, and wanted to return for them. The young gentleman conceiving her to be a lady, and then, knowing himself bound by the rules of politeness to pay her every possible attention, offered to take this trouble upon himself provided she would condescend in his absence to have an eye towards the goods. She readily accepted his proffered services; but at his return, instead of keeping her eye upon the charge he had left to her care, she put her hands upon it, and neither woman or goods have been heard of since.
March 7.
On the 4th inst. a melancholy accident occurred at the Observatory in the firing off one of the cannon. A black man employed in ramming home one of the charges, through inattention in not having the vent stopped, lost both of his hands, the powder taking fire, forced the rammer out, which caused the unfortunate circumstance above alluded to.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 27.
Extract of a letter from St. Sebastian, dated 3d January 1801.
The market is very bad, and every appearance of its being worse; God only knows what will be the end. Vessels arriving from all parts of America with Tobacco, which will not bring five dollars in this place, and if sent to France still worse, the expense of carriage being two dollars and a half per 100 wt; and when arrived in France, there is no purchaser but on a credit of six months. I fear many will ruin themselves when the intercourse is opened.
By verbal information we learn, that in the month of December last, there were two very destructive fires in London; one, which destroyed all the buildings from the Hermitage to the Old Wapping Stairs; the other, near Aldegate pump, burnt a whole square. The fires were attributed to accident, and not to any commotion of the mob as has been reported, the people are still riotous.
ALEXANDRIA, March 16.
On Saturday the President, Vice President, Secretary at War, Attorney General, and Gen. Wilkinson were invited to a dinner given by the inhabitants of this city. They were received by a military escort, under the discharge of cannon. Messrs. Dexter and Stoddert were invited, but did not attend. The utmost liberality of sentiment prevailed. The toasts were axioms from the President's inaugural speech. The volunteers were:—By the President of the U. S. "Prosperity to the town of Alexandria." By Mr. Burr "To the memory of our departed chief, George Washington." By Gen. Dearborn, "Mrs. Washington." By Judge Lincoln, "The District of Columbia—May the social fire in the centre warm the extremities of the union." By Mr. Dawson, "Our sister states—Let us remember united we stand, and divided we fall."
The report of the appointment of Mr. Gallatin, to the Treasury, is not confirmed. Rumour—but no one else—speaks of many diplomatic changes.—Mr. Dawson to replace Mr. Smith, in Portugal.—Mr. C. Pinckney, Mr. Humphries at Madrid.—Mr. King it is also said is to have a successor.—Gen. Muhlenberg it is whispered is to have Mr. Latimer's Collectorship.—We give these as we received them.
PHILADELPHIA, March 13.
The trial of James Reynolds, who is generally known by the appellation of Doctor, for a libel on Timothy Pickering Esq. late Secretary of State, came on in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, yesterday. Last evening Judge Shippen delivered his charge to the Jury; and at 12 o'clock this day when the court adjourned, they had not returned a verdict.
The jury, in the case of Pickering against Reynolds, have not been able to agree, and were this morning discharged by the Court.

Mr. Kittera has not been notified of his dismissal. Wade Hampton of Virginia is appointed to be Post-Master-General, in the room of Col. Habersham dismissed.
NORWICH, March 25.
Since our last, we have experienced a S. E. gale, accompanied with rain which fell in such torrents as to raise the rivers to an uncommon height. Several parts of the place were so completely inundated as to prevent passing except in boats. No material damage has been sustained here, tho' we understand two bridges were destroyed in Windham.
We hear from Hartford, that the water rose to such an amazing height as to inundate several streets, extending almost to the State-house.
HARTFORD, March 23.
By reason of the heavy rains during the week past, the streams in this part of the country, as far as we have heard in every direction, have risen to an unexampled height, and caused an immense destruction of property, public and private. Bridges, mills, fences, buildings of all descriptions, dwelling-houses, barns, &c. &c. are swept away, many families reduced to distress, by either being driven from their habitations for a season, or in having them completely destroyed. In this town, there is no mark of so high a flood in Connecticut River, since the year 1692. The rise was so rapid, as that people were scarcely able to secure their most valuable property in stores, and houses, before the buildings were filled with water. Every family in that part of the town which lies near to the river, has been forced to flee for refuge among their neighbors; many of the families were taken from the windows, into boats, and carried away; some of the one story houses, are in water to the roofs; the lower stories of all are nearly filled; and the scene wears the appearance of extreme desolation and melancholy. Front-street, from the little river, to the north meadow gate, is so full of water, that boats pass the whole length. At New-Hartford, we are informed, that one man was drowned. In this town, we have not experienced the loss of any lives. Several gentlemen in the town have signalized themselves in great acts of humanity, in relieving the people, especially the poor, who were involved in the calamity. We shall feel ourselves indebted to any of our correspondents, in the country, who will collect accurate particulars of the damage done by the water, in their neighborhood. Doubtless, as many of those, who are the greatest sufferers, especially in this town, are ill able to bear their misfortunes, the charitable will feel it their duty to relieve their wants, as far as may lie in their power, by supplies of food, &c. Driven from their houses and employments, they must suffer immediately, unless supplied by the generous and humane, with the necessaries of life.
BOSTON, March 28.
FROM BATAVIA.
The Alexander Hamilton, arrived at Baltimore from Batavia, brings information, that August 27 a British 50 gun ship and three frigates, anchored off the island, and continued there until the 7th November; when they departed, having lost many by sickness. A number of valuable Dutch vessels was taken on shore and destroyed.
The celebrated Neckar has lately addressed a communication on Finance to the Helvetic Republic.
KEENE, March 21.
THE STORM.
Much damage was done in this town and vicinity, by the violent storm of Wednesday and Thursday last. The water rose much higher than has been known for 20 years past, and we hear of a large number of mill-dams being carried away, and almost all the bridges, inasmuch that there was no passing yesterday, excepting in boats, from this to several of the adjacent towns. Several thousand acres of land, were inundated.
AMHERST, March 21.
FRESHET.
The great rains, which commenced on Wednesday evening last, have raised the rivers, brooks &c. higher in this vicinity, than they have been for forty years past. Much damage has been done. A grist mill belonging to Mr. Shepard, has been entirely carried off, together with the dam. Several bridges have also been swept away.
PORTSMOUTH, March 31.
COMMUNICATION.
On Thursday arrived in this town from the city of Washington, The Hon. JOHN LANGDON, Esq. the last session of Congress having terminated his honorable service of 12 years as Senator of the United States. On hearing of the approach of Col. Langdon, a large number of respectable citizens of Portsmouth on horse back and in carriages met him at Greenland to welcome his return. On his entering the town, the bells announced his arrival and 16 cannon discharged a federal salute. On passing through the several streets he was saluted by large bodies of citizens, who had collected at different stands, testifying by their shouts his hearty welcome, and their sincere approbation of his conduct as well in the late session of Congress, as of his uniform patriotism from the memorable epoch which commenced on the 4th day of July 1776, and his exertions to establish and support the independence of his country, and in particular, during the late administration of four years for his decided opposition to a system of warfare, which had brought the country to the brink of ruin, but from which he had the felicity of seeing before the expiration of his term in Congress its happy preservation, by the election of that man to the Presidency who has had his constant support, and on whom his country may rely under heaven for its future tranquility.
On Saturday the Hon. JAMES SHEPARD, Esq. one of the Senators to Congress, with his lady were bid a hearty welcome on their safe return home from the city of Washington.
Late letters from Havannah, received at Norfolk, state, "that no more American vessels from British ports, in ballast, are to be permitted to enter that place."

Mr. Stoddert the present Secretary of the Navy of the United States, takes occasion to observe, in refuting certain assertions in the paper of Matthew Lyon's son at Washington, "In a few days I shall return to the enviable rank of a private citizen."
A letter has been received at Philadelphia from Jaquemet, dated Feb. 25, stating, that that port is shut against the Americans.
AUCTIONEERS.
Owing to the difference between the Governor and Council of New-York, the annual licenses of the Auctioneers of the city expired on the 15th inst. without a renewal. Some of the Auctioneers then sold their flags and mallets. The column in the paper where their advertisements used to be inserted has been put in mourning. Great inconvenience must result in New-York from the suspension of this business, which has lately become a very important one.
The Legislature of New-York, have agreed to an amendment, to the National Constitution, so as that the mode of choosing Electors of President and Vice-President, and Federal Representatives shall be uniform (in districts) throughout the United States. Decision was deferred on an amendment directing that the votes for President and Vice-President shall be distinctly designated.
Since the establishment of our NAVY, the captures made by it amount to 74 in number, and the recaptures exceed 80.
