Very Pleasing Retrospect.
HAVING entered on a new year, and from a retrospective view of our business, from its commencement (about four years) very pleasing and grateful sensations arise—and draw from us reflections of the most pure, rational, and exalted kind. In recapitulating our LOTTERY BUSINESS, which is not only pleasing to us, but must also prove so to our friends and the public; and will convince ALL of the good fortune of adventuring in the Temple of the Fickle Goddess of Fortune, at their office. From the following statement of CAPITAL PRIZES, sold by them, in the late Lotteries, it will be seen that a great number have made independent fortunes—others a competency—and many, very many, experienced the smiles of Fortune in a greater or less degree. It is a fact, that more than
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS in Prizes, have been paid at
GILBERT & DEAN'S FORTUNATE LOTTERY OFFICE,
within the last three years. Such is the good fortune which attend those who purchase Tickets of them. The diamond receives its lustre from the labor bestowed on it; and the many Capital Prizes sold by G. & D. are like so many Lottery Stars, which will be considered by the knowing ones, of primary magnitude, and brightness. But to the point: The prizes are as follows, viz.
Capital Prizes shared and sold at

281 of 100 dls.—besides an innumerable "HOST" of 50, 20, &c. &c.—Some people say, "why don't you, when you publish a list of your Prizes, add the blanks too?" Because every person must know this is unnecessary—it cannot be expected that all the Tickets we sell will draw Prizes.
G & D. attend personally to business, and one or the other of the firm, will always be found in the Office, from the time it is open in the morning until it is shut at night, without any intermission. Orders for Lottery Tickets from the Country, post paid and enclosing the cash, immediately attended to. Prize Tickets of all the Lotteries granted by our Legislature received in payment; and a List of all the Prizes and blanks, of each Lottery, kept at their Office, gratis, for public inspection, during the drawing. This tends much to public convenience, as the adventurer can always know his luck, from day to day; and it often happens, by watching the fate of their Tickets, they eventually obtain a high Prize, by renewing small ones in the same Lottery. This has often happened at our Office, particularly in one of the 10,000 dollar Prizes above mentioned—which was owned by three respectable men in this town. They watched the fate of their Ticket while the Lottery was drawing. The first time it came up a blank—they purchased another and it drew 8 dollars, which they again invested, and the third time it came up the highest Prize! So much for perseverance and attention.
EXCHANGE BUSINESS. Besides the attention given to Lottery business, G. & D. buy and sell BOSTON BANK BILLS, for a commission of only one quarter per cent. The premium they generally sell for, are from 1 1/2 to 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 just as the market fluctuates. They give generally, a premium within a quarter per cent of the above prices; and as they have a distinct apartment from Lottery Business, their friends may always rely on being dealt with the same attention as tho' the person who lends was present. Bills selected for one quarter per cent commission; and Merchants, Traders, and others, travelling can always be accommodated with bills that will pass at the place of their destination.

BILEY SMITH, Collector.
FROM THE AURORA. POLITICS FOR FARMERS....No. III.
A MAN who should say, I will raise a thousand bushels of corn on an acre of land, would be deemed mad; yet those who are the brawlers for a naval establishment, are not more preposterous in their projects or pretensions.
We have found times shown that a naval establishment is incompatible, and impracticable in our national circumstances, and even if it were practicable to form and fit out and support such an establishment, that it would after all, be wiser, to have no military naval establishment whatever.
The readers of the Aurora, may perhaps recollect a series of essays published last year, under the title of the Sovereignty of the Ocean.—We undertook the discussion of that subject, which cost us much labor and application, merely to show the futility of the supposed advantages derived from the Sovereignty of the ocean; that a superior naval establishment, has always been productive of greater evils than advantages, to every nation that has possessed a naval superiority; and that the only advantages derived, from such a force, was the enrichment or aggrandizement of a few persons of the nation, at the expence of the liberty, virtue, happiness, and security, of all the rest of the nation.
Another view we had in that discussion, was to show that the affected alarm set afloat by the connivance of English emissaries, of danger to be apprehended from France, was so far from being real; that the very necessity which was imposed on France, by the conduct of the infatuated powers of Europe, of keeping them in subjection, would render it equally necessary to keep the whole force of that nation to watch them, and to suppress promptly, any new coalitions that might arise; much of our anticipations on this topic, have been already fulfilled; and as we then shewed the policy which concentrates all the force of France, will also keep that force contiguous and disposable;—and for that reason the accumulation of ships, the augmentation of commerce, and the establishment of colonies will be not remote, but contiguous. These were our views in that discussion, time has strengthened them.
A military naval force, has been productive only of disaster to France, Holland, and Spain for the last century; and what has it produced for England. Let its debts, its poor houses, its prisons, and its declension from civil liberty declare it.—But she has conquered Asia—and for whom? For the people of Asia's happiness? Read Burk's speeches on Hastings, in which, with all his capacity for high coloring, he has fallen far short of the picture of misery produced by English conquests in Asia. The English company after ravaging all Asia, is in debt 175,000,000 of dollars! Was the conquest for the good of the people of England? No, the people of England have retrograded from liberty and comfort almost in the same proportion as the monopolists of Asia have been aggrandized.
Her national debt is 3,000,000,000, three thousand million of dollars!
These then are the effects of a naval superiority, and a competition for naval glory. In the annals of naval achievement, nothing can be more awfully splendid and horribly brilliant, than the battles of Trafalgar and the Nile. But what have they accomplished?—The battle of Aboukir only transferred Egypt to Turkish barbarism or Mameluke anarchy, and Trafalgar lost its object—it has not saved Naples, nor yet secured Sicily; it has not prevented the conquest of the whole European continent, it has not kept a foot of land or an accessible port for England on the whole coast from the Cape of Otranto to the Categat.
Yet idiots—for none but knaves or idiots can talk of our establishing a navy to contend with either the victor or the vanquished—competitors for the sovereignty of the ocean. A military naval power can be of no other use than for defence on the high seas; we have not the means to build a navy for this purpose; defence on our coasts and harbours, is the only eligible or even justifiable system that we can adopt. But a martial navy for the high seas, is the most extravagant notion that can be conceived, because physical impossibility meets it on the threshold.
A navy for the ocean must be at least equal to the navy which commits the aggression.—This brings the question then to the simple point—Can we build and support such a navy? This is a question of simple arithmetic. To see this in its simplest light, we have only to state our actual revenue and let us suppose as a necessary consequence that our revenue would be doubled to maintain a navy.
Our whole gross revenue, let us suppose to be exclusively applied, to the naval establishment and that the 50,000,000 of revolutionary debt is all paid off—
  Say our present revenue 15,000,000   Add new internal taxes to support a navy 15,000,000   dis. 30,000,000 
This would surely be an ample allowance comparing the state of our country with such a contingency. What would a navy cost to build? What annually to support it. The sum required to build we shall not confound our readers by noting—if they chuse to multiply the number of ships by the cost of the frigate United States built in this port; the average amount will be about one half the first expence.
But the subsistence of a navy, what would it cost, supposing the fleet had suddenly sprung up; or that the British government, instead of using them to transport their monarch and regalia to Bengal, had made us a present of the whole.
A judicious and dispassionate pamphlet lately published on this subject (we presume a production of Mr. Tench Coxe) furnishes data ready prepared, but over cautiously put down; in that pamphlet the average annual expence is, however, set down near twenty millions of dollars short of the real expence; yet it states the average at 70,000,000 of dollars a year. Deduct your 30 millions even from this and you would have still 40,000,000 more to provide for.
Your acre of land, citizens of America, could not then produce you a thousand bushels of corn; and you must be content to take your land and cultivate it with care, and be satisfied with what it will really produce, though it were only from 10 to 35.
But there is another circumstance—where would the men
come from; Great Britain, although she has Ireland and Scotland to drain from by impressment, is forced to seize and make slaves of 3000 of our citizens; and the Danes, Swedes, Italians, Lubeckers, Hamburgers and Dutch seamen, are allowed to compose a full third of the seamen who navigate and fight her ships of war.

Great is truth, and it ought to prevail. Fellow Citizens of New Hampshire.
As the time is approaching when you will be called on to decide the propriety of amending the Constitution of this State, I deem it proper for any person so disposed to offer his opinion on it, as it now stands, and the laws passed under its sanction by the Legislature. The Constitution is the supreme law of the public, and the Legislature derives all its lawful authority from it; what power therefore is exercised by the Legislature not derived from the Constitution, is a stretch of power, and ought to be held as a dead letter, and become ineffective. By the Constitution I find that the General Court have power "to impose and levy proportional and reasonable assessments, rates and taxes upon all the inhabitants of, and residents within the said State, and upon all estates within the same," for the public service—and in the next section it points out the mode of making the assessments equal. Where then is the power given the General Court to call for a tax or assessment other than by a general act operating through the State, county or town? By some acts of the Legislature, lands are taken from the owners against their consent, not at their price, and transferred to proprietors of turnpike roads. Where does the Constitution grant this power? I cannot find the Constitution will warrant it. If it is said it is done by the same rule that towns lay out highways, I answer that is not correct; for 1st. Highways are solely for public use, not private emolument; are turnpikes so? 2d. Highways are made and repaired by the towns thro' which they pass free of cost to the public—are turnpikes so? and 3dly. Highways are public property as soon as laid out and returned without public cost—are turnpikes so, do not the very acts say they are not? and do not the acts, granting them, say they shall not be owned by the public until the proprietors receive the principal and twelve per centum per annum interest? What was the object of the proprietors—was it not their own emolument more than the public good? Is not the public good a secondary object only? Has not the law of custom, time immemorial obliged towns to lay out, make and repair highways through their territories, at the expence of its inhabitants equally assessed according to the constitution and laws—Do not proprietors and owners of locations make roads and bridges within their grants at their own expence for public use—and do not the laws oblige an individual or individuals who may want a road for his or their use, to be at the expence of getting the road, although the road so procured is free for any who see proper to use it? I ask likewise, by what constitutional authority are lines of towns altered by the Legislature without consent of parties? It is admitted that lines of towns may be consent of parties concerned be altered—Where lines are disputable, or not known and well defined, the parties may refer to the Legislature or any other body, and even to individuals to say where the lines shall in future be deemed established. But it is denied that the Legislature, ex officio, have any Constitutional right to interfere, especially where the bounds and lines are well known. Has not the power been used in many instances—and is it not an assumption that ought to be remedied? It has been said that this power is necessary for the public good, and why may it not be safely lodged with the representatives of the people? The answer is, why is it necessary at any time to alter lines of towns, can it not be so when the parties concerned do not wish it? But grant the power necessary, then let the Constitution give it to the Legislature under certain regulations, and not oblige the General Court to act without authority. I have a great respect for the constituted authorities, and really wish them to attend more carefully to their powers than I fear they generally have done—not to reframe the rights of individuals or corporations but be particularly careful in all their corporate grants that the good of the community may be manifest. Are not the multiplicity of corporations for banks and turnpikes a public injury—was not the distribution of the U. States laws by a former legislature an injury? Are the taxes generally through the State equally laid? It may be asked, how can a remedy be applied if the immediate representatives of the people are remiss and inattentive, or are more actuated by their wills than the good of their constituents? I answer, let the Constitution provide that five or more persons living in different parts of the State, who hold no office of trust or profit under the government be elected by the people; they may be called scrutineers, whose duty shall be to examine all acts and resolves of the Legislature to see if they militate with the Constitution or the just liberties of individuals or corporations, and if any act or resolve militate, they are immediately to notify the Legislature, viz. the Governor and the two houses, of their opinion, with their reasons therefor, and if
the act or resolve is not repealed at that session of the Legislature, then the scrutineers shall have their opinion and reasons published at large in all the public papers printed in the State, that the people, if they do not approve the act or resolve, may elect at the ensuing election of members to the General Court, such men as may repeal it. And it shall be the duty of the said scrutineers to take cognizance of all the public functionaries in the State; if any fail in discharging the trust reposed in him, then the scrutineers shall report him to the proper tribunal to remedy the evil.—As many laws are liable to become a dead letter from the want of a public accuser, let it be the duty of each town who has liberty to be represented in the house of Representatives, to elect annually a suitable person not in office under the government, whose duty shall be to search up and report to the States attorney or the solicitor of the county, all breaches of law not otherwise prosecuted, and also shall report to the scrutineers all officers of the town in which he lives, not elected by the inhabitants thereof, who shall fail in discharging his duty.—The scrutineers may hold their offices two years, and be handsomely paid for their trouble, and they or the town accusers shall not be obliged to serve in the aforesaid capacities oftner than one term in eight or ten years.—From the foregoing observations it does appear to me that the Constitution may be amended for the public good; if it so appears to the major part of the citizens, is it not our duty now to call for amendments that our liberties may be placed on a more firm and durable basis? A FARMER.
National Legislature.
NINTH CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, FEB. 3. Mr. Brown presented a petition from Elizabeth Broadhead, the widow of Luke Broadhead, a pensioner of the U. S. praying for relief. Referred to the committee of claims. Mr. Boyle, from the committee on public lands presented a bill respecting claims to land in the territories of Orleans and Louisiana, which were made the order for Friday. Mr. Boyle, from the same committee, on the petition of sundry officers who served in the war between France and G. Britain, made report of considerable length, concluding with a resolution that the prayer of the petition ought not to be granted.—Referred to a committee of the whole on Monday. Mr. Early, from the committee of commerce and manufactures, moved their discharge from the further consideration of sundry petitions, praying for an extension of credit on the payment of duties on goods imported from the West Indies, to the same period allowed on goods imported from Europe. Mr. Early observed that the committee had been informed by those who presented these petitions, that they would be able, at the next session to furnish information that would show the propriety of the measure prayed for. After a short conversation, the motion was agreed to. Mr. Early, from the same committee, also presented a bill for the relief of Edward Toppan, William Carrier and George Jenkins, which was referred to the committee of the whole on Friday. The bill authorizing the issuing of debentures in certain cases, was recommitted to a committee of the whole—Mr. Basset in the chair. After considerable discussion and amendment, the committee reported the bill—when the house adjourned. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 4. On motion of Mr. R. Williams. Resolved, That the Speaker address a letter to the executive of the State of South Carolina, stating the death of General Levi Caley, in order that measures may be taken to supply the vacancy occasioned thereby in the representation from that State. The Speaker laid before the House a letter from the Secretary of the navy, stating the compensation of the clerks employed in the navy department. Mr. G. W. Campbell, from the committee to whom was referred the bill from the Senate, entitled 'An act establishing circuit courts and abridging the jurisdiction of the district courts, in the districts of Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio,' reported their agreement to the same with sundry amendments. Referred to a committee of the whole on Friday. Mr. Early, from the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures, presented a Bill respecting leases made under the authority of the U. S. and for other purposes, which was referred to the committee of the whole on Monday. Mr. Early, from the same committee, made a report on the petition of sundry inhabitants and merchants of Stonington in Connecticut, and Pawtucket in Rhode Island, unfavorable to the prayer of the petitioners. Referred to a committee of the whole on Monday. A message was received from the Senate stating that they had passed a bill respecting the administration of justice in the district of Columbia, and a bill for the relief of the sufferers by fire in the town of Portsmouth. The House took into consideration the report of the committee of the whole on the report of a select committee, on the subject of fortifying our ports and harbors. When this subject was previously before the House, a motion of General Van Cortlandt was depending to authorize the President to man and equip such gun boats 'and other armed vessels of the U. S.' as he may deem expedient. On this amendment a long debate ensued,
involving the discussion at large of the policy of protecting our ports and harbors. Mr. Sturges advocated the amendment. Mr. D. R. Williams opposed it. Mr. Elliot spoke in favor of strong measures of defence. Mr. Loyd declared himself against both the resolutions, and moved to postpone the further consideration of the report till Monday week. This motion was advocated by Messrs. Loyd, Gregg, Smilie, and Fisk—and opposed by Messrs. Thomas, Lyon Mumford, Elliot, Van Cortlandt, Masters and Van Rensselaer;—when the question was taken by yeas and nays on the postponement. Yeas 40—Nays 76. The House then adjourned.
THURSDAY, FEB. 5. Mr. Early, from the committee of Commerce and Manufactures, to whom was referred the amendments of the Senate to the bill for surveying the coast of the U. S. reported their agreement to the same, in which the House concurred—Ayes 53. The amendments extend the survey to the Gulph of Mexico, and appropriate 50,000 dollars for the same. The House resumed the consideration of the unfinished business of yesterday, being the report of a committee on fortifying our ports and harbors. The question was taken on the amendment offered by Mr. Van Cortlandt, which was disagreed to—Ayes 51—Nays 54. The question then recurred on filling the blank in the 2d resolution with "250,000" dollars for building 50 gun boats. Mr. Mumford spoke against agreeing to this amendment, and expressed a hope that part of the sum would be applied to fortifications. Mr. Smilie coincided in opinion with Mr. Mumford, and said if the amendment were not agreed to, he would then move to fill the blank with 150,000 dollars, and was in favor of applying the remaining 100,000 dollars to the protection of New-York. Messrs. Thomas and Cooke spoke to the same effect, when the amendment was disagreed to—Ayes 4. The amendment authorizing the President to man and equip as many of the gun boats as in his opinion the public service may require, was likewise disagreed to—Ayes 34. Mr. Thomas then moved to fill the blank with "150,000." This motion was supported by Messrs. Stanton, Thomas, Smilie and Fisk; and opposed by Messrs. J. Randolph, Elmer and Holland. Mr. Gregg suggested the propriety of postponing the further consideration of the subject, to gain information. With this view Mr. Early moved a postponement to Monday week. This motion was negative—Ayes 49—Nays 58. Messrs. G. W. Campbell, Albion and Smilie spoke in favor of appropriating 150,000 dollars for the building of gun boats; and Mr. Elliot against it. Mr. Early moved a postponement to this day week. This motion was advocated by Messrs. Early, and Chandler; and opposed by Messrs. Loyd, Mumford, Elmer, Tallmer, Stanton, Fisk and Dwight. This motion was likewise disagreed to—Mr. Eppes then moved a postponement to Monday next. This motion was generally acquiesced in, and carried—Ayes 69—after a continuation of the debate on the main subject, in which Messrs. Eppes, Cook, Thomas, Mumford, Varnum and Smilie took part. A committee was appointed to bring in a bill to carry into effect the objects of the first resolution. On motion of Mr. Early the House adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That the President of the U. S. be requested to cause to be laid before this House such information as may be in the possession of the executive department tending to show the efficacy of gun boats in the protection and defence of ports and harbors, and particularly a list of such of the principal ports and harbors as may be defended or essentially assisted in being defended by gun boats, together with the number necessary for each.
FRIDAY, FEB. 6. The following message was received from the President of the U. S. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. The government of France having examined into the claim of Mr. de Beaumarchais, against the U. S. and considering it as just and legal, has instructed its minister here to make representations on the subject to the government of the U. S. I now lay this memorial thereon before the legislature, the only authority competent to a final decision on the same. TH: JEFFERSON. The message and accompanying documents were referred to the committee of Claims. A message was likewise received from the President, transmitting a copy of the laws of Louisiana, which were referred to a select committee. The House resumed the consideration of the bill relative to issuing debentures. A debate ensued on several amendments offered, when the question was put on ordering the bill to be engrossed for a third reading. On this question a debate arose, which was continued without a decision until the adjournment of the House.
SATURDAY, FEB. 7. Mr. Thomas from the committee to whom was referred the resolution agreed to by the House on the subject of fortifications, presented a bill for fortifying the ports and harbors of the United States, which was referred to a committee of the whole on Monday. Mr. Varnum offered the following resolution: Resolved, That it is expedient, in addition to the sums otherwise appropriated to fortifying the ports and harbors of the United States, to appropriate a sum not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars, to enable the President of the United States to cause the port and harbor of New-York to be better fortified and defended. After a short debate this resolution was ordered to lie on the table. A bill was received from the Senate, entitled an act confirming claims to land in the district of Vincennes, which was referred to the committee on public lands.
LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
BERLIN, NOV. 29. OFFICIAL DOCUMENT. RELATIVE TO THE WAR AND THE BLOCKADE OF THE BRITISH ISLANDS. Message of His Majesty the Emperor and King to the Senate. SENATORS. "Under the circumstances of the present state of the general affairs of Europe, we have resolved to make known to you, and the nation, the principles which we have adopted for the direction of our political conduct. "Our extraordinary moderation at the close of each of the three former wars, has been the cause of that which immediately followed. Thus have we had to contend against a fourth coalition, nine months after the dissolution of the third—nine months after that signal of victory, which Providence vouchsafed to us, and which held forth an assurance of a long repose to the continent. "The influence of England, however, sooner or later, extends itself over a great number of the European cabinets; and without a durable peace with that power, our people cannot enjoy those benefits of peace, which have been the first aim of our labours, and the sole object of our existence. Notwithstanding our triumphant position, we were, even in the last negotiation with England, still more struck by the arrogance of her language, than by the sacrifices she was disposed to exact from us. The Island of Malta, on which it seemed as if the honor of the war depended, which England in contempt of treaties retained, and which was the first cause of war, we agreed to cede. We agreed that, besides Ceylon and the kingdom of Mysore, England should also retain the Cape of Good Hope. "But all our exertions were frustrated, when the Cabinet Councils of our enemy ceased to be animated by the noble ambition of uniting the happiness of the world with the actual prosperity of one's country, and the latter with a permanent state of prosperity; and no prosperity can be permanent for England, which is founded in an extravagant and unjust policy, that would deprive of all commerce, and all navigation, sixty millions of people who are their neighbours, and who are both rich and brave. "Thus, after the death of the English Prime Minister, we easily perceived, that the negotiations were continued with no other view than that of throwing a veil over the formation of the fourth coalition, which has been strangled in its birth. "In this new situation, we have adopted as the immutable principle of our conduct, the resolution not to evacuate Berlin, Warsaw, and the provinces which may come into our possession by the force of arms, until a General Peace has been concluded—until the Spanish, Dutch, and French Colonies have been restored—until the foundations of the Ottoman Power have been secured, and the complete independence of that great Empire, one of the most important interests of our people, has been irrevocably consecrated. "We have placed the British Islands in a state of blockade, and ordered measures to be taken against them which excite a struggle in our heart. It has cost us the pain of a victory to render the interest of private individuals dependent on the disputes of Kings, and, after so many years of civilization, to return to those principles which characterize the barbarism of the five ages of nations. But the welfare of our people and our allies has compelled us to employ against the common foe the same weapons which he used against us. "These determinations, which are dictated by a just feeling of reciprocity, have originated neither in passion nor in hatred. The same offers which we made after the dissolution of the three coalitions, which contributed so much to the glory of our people, we are still ready to make at the moment our arms have gained new triumphs. We are ready to conclude peace with England; we are ready to make peace with Russia and Prussia; but on such principles alone must it be concluded, as that no one, be he who he may, shall presume to claim any thing of us, on the pretence of superior power. The colonies must be restored to the mother countries; and to our commerce and industry, that prosperity of which they are susceptible, must be guaranteed. "Should these dispositions, in the whole of their extent, tend to retard for a time the period of a general peace, the delay, however short it may be, will to our heart appear long. But we are convinced that our people will duly estimate the wisdom of our political motives, and perceive with us that a partial peace is only an armistice, by which we risk the loss of all the advantages we have gained, and furnish occasion to a new war, and that France cannot find her prosperity but in a general peace. "We find ourselves in one of those critical junctures, which have an important influence on the fate of nations; and the French people will show themselves worthy of that destination which awaits them. The Senators Consultum, which we have ordered to be laid before you, and which places at our disposal, in the first month of the year the Conscription of 1807, which under ordinary circumstances, would not have commenced until the month of September, will be eagerly carried into effect by fathers and children. At what more attractive moment could we invite the French youth to take up arms? In marching to join their colours, they will pass through the capitals of our enemies, and field of battle rendered famous by the victories of their elder brothers in arms. "Given at Berlin, Nov. 21, 1806. (Signed) "NAPOLEON. "By the Emperor. "The Minister HUGUES. "Secretary of State, B. MARET." Poland. POSEN, NOV. 25, 1806. Napoleon has declared to the Polish Deputation that when he fees 30, or 40,000 Polish militia in arms, he will declare the existence of a Polish nation. Towards arming and clothing these, the farmers are to contribute a tenth part of their property; and the Ladies to sacrifice their jewels, ornaments, &c. Swedish Pomerania. Stralsund Nov. 8. A French corps of cavalry, 2500 strong, have entered Anclam, Loitz, Mazekrope, Demmin, &c plundered the inhabitants, and imposed contributions on them. Their ravages in Mecklenburg have been most wanton. Rostock has been amerced in a contribution of 152,000 rix dollars. Saxony. WITTEMBERG, NOV. 12. Four hundred young Frenchmen, from the Military Schools, in France have arrived at Mayence. They are to command the Poles. Germany. HAMBURGH, NOV. 20. The American Consul, to prevent his Countrymen being mistaken for Englishmen, has directed them to renew their passports, &c. Italy. MILAN, NOV. 17. A royal decree has been issued interdicting the importation into Italy, of any foreign wares, linen and leather excepted. LONDON, DEC. 30. We feel happy in being able to state, that the treaty between this country and America, is proceeding in the very best train; and that the difficulties attending it, are almost all surmounted; and that such a completion of it may be speedily looked for, as will ensure the permanent good understanding and mutual benefit of both countries in future. DEC. 23.—Dispatches were yesterday received by Government, from the Court of Portugal, which were brought to Falmouth by the Dart, sloop of war. It is reported that a demand has been made upon the Portuguese Government to shut its ports against the trade of Great Britain. DEC. 29.—The several articles dated from the North of Germany, as far as they respect England will be found not unimportant. A general embargo has taken place at Hamburg, and no neutral is allowed to sail, even in ballast; and in Hanover and the neighboring places, all communication with England is forbidden, upon pain of death. Gen. Mortier has obtained some successes over the Swedes, in Pomerania.
BY THE MAILS.
WASHINGTON, FEB. 10. MESSAGE. From the President of the United States. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. I communicate, for the information of Congress, a letter from Cowles Meade, secretary of the Mississippi territory, to the secretary of war, by which it will be seen, that Mr. Burr had reached that neighbourhood on the 13th of Jan. TH. JEFFERSON. February 10. Extract of a letter from Cowles Meade, secretary and acting governor of the Mississippi territory, to the department of War, dated Washington, (M. T.) Jan. 13. 1807. SIR—I have just time by the mail to inform you, that I received this morning a letter from Col. Burr, at Bayou Pierre, avowing the innocence of his views, and the fallacy of certain rumours against his patriotism. His object is agriculture, and his boats the vehicles of emigration. However several military corps were ordered to be on the alert, and apprehend him, and all suspicious persons, on the day before the receipt of his letter—these orders may possibly bring him into my possession. In his letter, he hints at a resistance to any attempt to coerce him, and deprecates a civil war. These hints will have no influence on my conduct. He will be apprehended, if possible, at the hazard of the lives of our militia, and the honor of the executive. We are all busile and active. I hope in a day or two to give you a better account of this troublesome man. A boat passed Natchez last night—was hailed, and pursued by the guard. They fired two guns at the pursuers, being better manned. The citizens of this country are republicans and patriots, and on their exertions I have every reliance. The following curious and wonderful articles are extracted from the "Atlantic World" of yesterday. Of the degree of credibility due them the public will judge—we may only observe, it seems queer, that all the mystery and intrigue which have attended Burr's expedition, should be necessary to the performance of a legal act. COL. BURR. We have been favored with an account of the nature of his expedition which Col. Burr is said to have explained to some of his party. It perhaps may be thought improper that we should give it to the public, as its publicity may render the plan abortive which all must confess is not only a legal one, but highly advantageous to this country. The state of the public mind however, is at present so exasperated against Burr, that we deem it proper, let the consequences be what they may, to reveal it. Col. Burr is said to be employed by the Court of Spain to remove the whole of the Spanish treasury at Vera Cruz in Mexico, which is estimated at one hundred and fifty millions of dollars, to the United States; there to be kept at the disposal of his Catholic Majesty, until Europe be restored to its original state of tranquility. Since writing the above, we have been informed on good authority, that the Marquis Yrujo, has made a communication to a PUBLIC OFFICER of the American Government, to the same purpose; that he and Col. Burr, planned the scheme about two years ago; and that it was afterwards approved of by the Court of Madrid. It is also stated, that Mr. Merry was informed of it by Col. Burr; and that he should have given his assurances, that none of the British cruisers would molest the expedition; but on the contrary afford their assistance to the armament. In the event of the expedition succeeding, it is supposed an immediate Coalition will be formed between Great Britain and Spain, against the Emperor Napoleon.—What the consequences may be of such an immense treasure being deposited in the United States, we shall not attempt to speculate; but we think the effect produced, will not be of the lightest nature. From Nashville, in Tennessee, the news was, on 17th Jan. that the militia were dismissed, as no danger existed.

BOSTON, FEB. 11.  Citizens of Massachusetts, attend! At a large and respectable meeting of Republicans, who assembled from the several counties in this Commonwealth at Boston, on Tuesday, the third inst. it was unanimously resolved, that the  Hon. JAMES SULLIVAN, esq. of Boston, should be held up and supported at the ensuing election, as the Republican Candidate for GOVERNOR—and the  Hon. LEVI LINCOLN, esq. of Worcester, for LIEUT. GOVERNOR of this Commonwealth;—and that it be recommended to the Citizens of Massachusetts who venerate the glorious principles of '75, and the characters who readily adhere to them, to use their utmost endeavors and influence both before, and on the day of election to ensure the complete triumph of the REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) FEB. 14.  COUNTERFEITERS. On the first inst. was apprehended in this town, Capt. Ebenezer Barnes, and a Molese Bruce, of Woodstock (Vermont) on suspicion of having a quantity of counterfeit bank notes in their possession. It appeared in evidence, that Barnes had passed here five 10 dollar counterfeit notes, of New-York State bank, and had in his possession, when taken, of 10 dollar counterfeit notes, of New-York State bank, 370 dollars; of New-Hampshire bank, in 5 and 10 dollar notes, 1220 dollars; three 4 dollar notes of Portsmouth bank; one 5, and one 3 dollar note of Gloucester bank, and one 5 dollar note of the exchange Bank. He declines giving any account of whom he received these notes, but said he took them for a valuable consideration, as good bills, and that his object in bringing them here was to obtain gold or silver for the new bank established in Vermont. He is committed for trial before the Supreme Judicial Court, which will sit in this town on the 3d Monday of March next. Barnes was discharged on a recognizance for his appearance at court.—As the President of the aforesaid bank have received samples of these notes, they will, no doubt point out to the public the difference between them and the true notes, which we are unable to do, not having been favored with a sight of the counterfeits.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1807.  LATEST FROM ENGLAND. London papers to the 30th of December, have been received at New-York.—The intelligence from the continent, is not so late as that received through the medium of the French papers. The king of England being sick, parliament was opened on the 19th of Dec. by message.—On the 22d, all the documents relative to the late negotiations between France and England, were laid before both houses. They are said to be of extreme length, and would occupy 40 or 50 columns. The American Consul at Nantz has written to a respectable house in New-York, under date of the 20th of Dec. that the French Government since declaring the British isles in a state of blockade, have granted permission to a free communication with England, through Lisbon, and Rotterdam; and there was a probability that this privilege would be extended to Nantz. It was reported that the French Government had demanded of the Portuguese, to shut their ports to the English. There were some strange reports of an expected war between France and Spain. A general embargo had been laid at Hamburg.

To Correspondents. —We acknowledge the receipt of a communication over "Hundred," and agree with our correspondent that it is highly necessary to "seek an able republican to represent district No. 1;" but it is important to the good cause, that the republicans should agree in some candidate. Let no voter neglect his duty?—To the republicans throughout the State we cry! Watchmen be at your posts? A Republican Governor! a republican Council! republican Senators! and republican Representatives, can alone secure to us those inestimable privileges which are the birth right of a free people.
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT. Mr. Malcolm Cowan has obtained a patent, in England, for fails for ships, &c. that may be reefed in a few minutes, in all kinds of weather, by a very few seamen.—The Minotaur, of 74 guns, reefed her courses in 2 minutes, in a gale of wind, without sending a man off the deck.
In the United States, Congress has been employed with questions which relate to the alarms in the Western countries. But nothing has transpired from that part of the Union. The vigilance which has been employed to apprehend the man to whom all the evils are attributed, will probably be successful, according to the last positions in which he had been discovered. The Government has contemplated to reward the brave Capt. Lewis for his important discoveries in Louisiana. The generous affection this enterprising man has discovered to the companions of his danger, will leave a most agreeable recollection of him in the brave and the generous. He has disclaimed all unequal distributions of lands from rank or service. We refer to the papers for a full investigation of this affection and fidelity.—As no discoveries in the West have exhibited to them the last dangers of civil commotion, the public mind is becoming quiet. But the military ardour to defend the country against any enemy, has displayed what resources it must have in the state of infraction or invasion, should either be attempted in the present state of our country. Military service has been offered in too many cases to admit a distinct enumeration. Addresses continue to the President.—That from the City of Washington is honorable to him, as they are perfectly acquainted with his personal character, as well as his talents.
A statement of the inspection of Flour at Richmond, in Virginia, for the last six months of 1806, gives 47 thousand barrels. The Comptroller's report from New-York State, gives the funds of the State at a sum exceeding three and an half million of dollars. The annual revenue is given at 231 thousand dollars.
The season has been uncommon. Till the middle of January it was unusually mild. It has since been marked with severe cold, and alternate frosts and rains. We have not had deep snows, but they have been deep in North Carolina, and are now deep in the eastern parts of Maine, and in Vermont. The ice had shut up Philadelphia, by the last accounts. But the heavy rains have done immense damage. Many bridges, mills and water-works have been swept away, and many lives lost. Several Fires also are reported, which, tho' not of great extent, yet attended with the frequent loss of lives. [Salem Reg.]
Extract of a letter from Charles Swan, Esq. paper maker and post-master, dated Patchougi, Long Island, Feb. 2.
"Yesterday morning about three hours before day, we were all swept away (ten in family) by the mill dam giving way. We had just time to escape, and did not save an article of bed or body clothes. The mail, key and post office books, &c. were swept away with the flood."
Freshets. —We expect to hear of many disastrous circumstances, occasioned by the late extraordinary freshets. They write from Freeport, (Maine) that the water was 6 or 8 feet over the road, and flowed into houses and stores; and that the bridges were all carried away. A distressing circumstance during this tremendous overflow occurred: The mail stage, on its passage from Portland to Freeport, got on as far as Cousin's river, so called; on seeing the bridge, and supposing the water was not very deep, the stage-man attempted to drive over; but a little before he gained the bridge, the current swept the sleigh, horses and driver, together with four passengers, off the causeway;—at the same time, a quantity of ice and timber came against the sleigh and over-set it.—In this situation they were left to the mercy of the flood. Two of the passengers swam on shore; the other two, with the driver, by means of some logs were preserved from perishing, until a canoe was obtained, which took them on shore.—Three horses were drowned—the fourth, after being in the water an hour and an half, in agony drew the others, together with the sleigh, on shore, to the astonishment of the beholders. The mail was lost, and the greater part of the baggage. [Boston Paper.]
.....DIED.....
In Charleston, (S.C.) suddenly, Mr. John Shoemaker, a Polander, patron of a small Stone Schooner—Verdict of the jury, "that he came to his death by voluntarily taking a phial of liquid laudanum, owing to the state of his mind, being much agitated for the loss of a valuable watch intrusted to his care, and which was clandestinely taken from him."
In Laurens District, (S.C.) Ann Newby, aged 112; active till the close of life.
In Richmond, (Virg.) Mr. John M'Credie, merchant; he was halfeing to a fire near the city barracks in the night, with his buckets in his hand. On drawing near the barracks, the centinel called 'who's there?' Being affected by running he did not immediately answer. The guard levelled his piece—A person by (also going to the fire,) cried, "it is Mr. M'Credie." But it was too late, or was not regarded—Mr. M'Credie was shot dead. The centinel has been indicted for willful murder.
In Philadelphia, during the week ending the 7th inst. 20 adults and 9 children; of consumption 4, drunkenness 2.
In New-York, during the week ending the 7th inst. 14 men, 9 women, 8 boys and 7 girls; of consumption 9—an African woman, aged 104.
In Windham, (Con.) Mr. Charles Dyer, aged 22; in attempting to save his dog, which had fallen through the ice, Mr. D. broke through and was drowned.
In Conway, (Mats.) Mr. Thomas Billings from Springfield, aged 75; he fell from his chair in the fire, and was shockingly burnt. In Fitchburg, (Mats.) Brigadier General James Reed; he was one of the worthies of the revolution.
In Johnson, (R.I.) Mr. J. Waterman ag. 81. In Williston, (Vt.) Mrs. H. Welles, ag. 100. In Newmarket, Mr. Stillman Tarlton, aged 62.
In this town, Mr. Samuel Clark, Cooper; A child of Mr. Job Harris, aged 3; A child of Mr. Thomas Clapham, aged 7 months.
Capt. Kearney of the ship Monticello, who arrived this morning in 43 days from Amsterdam, has furnished us with Dutch papers to the 26th of December. These papers contain nothing from the seat of war of later date than the French papers by the Emeline. Capt. K. informs us that the day before he failed a Courier arrived at Amsterdam, bringing intelligence that the Head Quarters of the French Army were at Warsaw; and that the Grand Seigneur was marching toward Russia at the head of half a million of Soldiers.—N.Y. pap.
More Consistency!! —The Centinel, et cetera, assert that the Legislature has attacked our Constitution in recognizing the right of plantations to vote in the annual election of Governor and Lieut. Governor. Their impartiality will be evident from the following fact, viz.—Every Legislature since the adoption of the Constitution, has admitted this right—the only inference therefore to be deduced from this assertion is, that every Legislature since that time, both federal and democratic, have violated the Constitution in an important particular.— Quere —What can have opened the eyes of federalists, with regard to this point so lately.— Answer —Nearly all the Plantations have become Republican. [National Legis.]
Nothing can more clearly shew the inconsistency and want of principle in the federalists, than their clamors against those very measures which they have heretofore abused Government for not adopting. This is strikingly exemplified in their present clamors against repealing the duty on salt. They bawled in favor of this measure when they thought it would prevent the payment of the public debt; and since they know our finances are equal to the contemplated extinguishment of the debt, without this duty, they are unwilling the people should be relieved of the burthen. [Chronicle.]

The following STANZAS , by THOMAS MOORE , are moral, tender and impressive.
Oh! woman, if by simple wile, Thy soul has strayed from honor's track, 'Tis mercy only can beguile, By gentle ways, the wanderer back. The stain that on thy virtue lies, Washt'd by thy tears, may yet decay, As clouds that fully morning skies, May all be swept in showers away. Go, go—be innocent and live— The tongues of men may wound thee sore; But Heaven's in pity can forgive, And bid thee "go and sin no more."
THE ORIGIN OF FEMALES EXPOSING THEIR BOSOMS.
WHEN the Sicambri, a clan in France, began to retire and fly from the field of battle, their women met them, uncovered their bosoms, and said, "Strike here, ye cowards! we with that ye would kill us, rather than expose us to the disgrace attendant on slavery." This behaviour, and their reproaches, roused the courage of the Sicambri, and raised their pride; they rallied, returned to the charge, repulsed and defeated the enemy. In commemoration of the share their women had in the honor of that day, they were permitted to let their bosoms remain bare: and thus the fashion, which still prevails, owed its origin to the undaunted behaviour of the females on that occasion.
So far respecting a stimulus to courage, from the sudden, and almost never failing presence of mind, inherent to the fair sex of all ages, the good effects of it here were most sensibly felt; and had our females of the present day, waited the dread of a defeat from an implacable enemy, they would then have done well, in imitating the conduct of the Sicambrian women. But imitating them prematurely, and without a cause, in the exposure of what modesty should conceal, has left us almost destitute of any hope to be derived from their assistance in the hour of extremity.
