Foreign Intelligence.
The following is the letter of Cham- pagny to General Armstrong , of which a slight notice was taken in our last, and the reader may judge from the whole, whether our comments have not the solidity of fact for their basis. If any of our fellow-cit- izens can believe the sincerity of Bona- parte's professions , in direct opposition to his actions, they are incapable of being rea- soned with. If when a man proves him- self a liar, as Bonaparte has done, we give credit to his declarations, still there is but one stretch of absurdity beyond. Our fel- low-citizens must, to be consistent with themselves, disbelieve those who manifest the veracity of their words by their ac- tions. The best mode of dealing with such credulity on the wrong side, and incred- ulity on the right, would be to invite such gentlemen once more to read and study the history of little Red-Ridinghood, and the melancholy catastrophe that befell her, when she recognized in the physiognomy of a wolf the features of her grandmother's face.
EDIT. AMER.
Letter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, M. CHAMPAGNY , to General ARMSTRONG , Minister of the United States at Paris:
"ALTENBURG, August 22.
SIR—His Majesty, understanding that you are about to despatch a ship to the United States, commands me to make known to you the unalterable principles which have and will regulate his conduct in the great question respecting neutrals.
"France admits the principal, that the flag protects trade. The trading vessel which carries the license of its government, may be considered as a moving colony: to insult such a vessel by search, pursuit, or any act of arbitrary power, is a violation of the fundamental law of colonization, and is an attack upon the government of the same. The seas belong to every nation, without exception; they are the common property and the domain of all mankind.
"Consistently with this doctrine, mer- chant vessels belonging to individuals may pass by inheritance to persons who never exposed themselves to be made prisoners of war. In all her conquests, France has considered sacred private property, de- posited in the warehouses of the vanquish- ed state, and such have had the complete disposal of matters of trade; and at this moment convoys by land of merchandise, and especially cottons, are passing through the French army and Austria, to proceed to the destination commerce directs. If France had seized the monopoly of the seas, she would have accumulated in her territory all the products of the earth, and she would have obtained immeasurable wealth.
"Undoubtedly, if England had the do- minion of land, which she has acquired on the ocean, her acquisitions would have been equally enormous. She would, as in the times of barbarism, have sold the con- quered and distributed them as slaves throughout her land. The avarice of trade would have absorbed every thing, and the government of an enlightened nation, which has brought the arts of civilization to per- fection, would have given the earliest in- stances of the return of the savage ages.— That government is fully impressed with the injustice of its naval code. But what has that government to do with justice, which only inquires for profit?
"When France shall have established her naval power, which, with the extent of her coasts and her population, will be soon accomplished, then will the Empe- ror reduce these principles to practice, and apply his mandate to render it univer- sal. The right, or rather the usurpation of blockading rivers and coasts by procla- mation, is palpably contrary to reason and equity. A right cannot possibly spring from the will of an interested party, but must always be founded on the natural re- lation of things. A place is not properly blockaded unless it be besieged by land and water. It is blockaded to prevent the introduction of assistance, by which the surrender of the place might be protract- ed; and then we have only the right to prevent neutral ships from entering the port when the place is thus circumstanced and the possession of it is matter of doubt between the besiegers and besieged. On this is grounded the right to prevent neu- trals from entering the place.
"The sovereignty and independence of its flag, like the sovereignty and indepen- dence of its territory, are the property of every neutral. A state may transfer itself to another state; it may destroy the ar- chives of its independence and pass from prince to prince; but the right of sove- reignty is indivisible and unalienable; no one can renounce it.
"England has placed France in a state of blockade. The Emperor has, in his decree of Berlin, declared the British is- lands in a state of blockade. The first of these regulations forbid neutral vessels to proceed to France; the second prohibited their entering English harbours.
"England has, by her orders of council of the 11th November, 1807, levied an impost on neutral ships, and obliged them to enter its ports before they sail to France.
By the decree of the 17th of December, of the same year, the Emperor has decreed, that all such ships be denationalized, which had entered English ports, or sub- mitted to be searched.
"In order to ward off the inconveni- encies with which this state of things threatened her commerce, America laid an embargo in all her harbours; and al- though France had done nothing more than used the right of retaliation, its wants, and those of its colonies, suffered much from this measure; yet did the Emperor mag- nanimously connive at the proceeding, in order rather to endure the privation of commerce than to acknowledge the au- thority of the usurper of the seas.
"The Embargo was raised, and a sys- tem of non-intercourse was substituted for it. The powers on the continent, in alli- ance with England, having the same ob- ject in view, made a common cause with her, that they might derive the same ad- vantages. The harbours of Holland, of the Elbe, of the Weser, of Italy, and of Spain, were to enjoy those benefits from which France was to be excluded; and the one and the other were to be opened or closed to commerce as circumstances rendered expedient, so as France was bereft of it.
"Thus, sir, in point of principle, France recognizes the freedom of neutral com- merce, and the independence of the mari- time powers; which she respected up to the moment when the maritime tyranny of England, that respects nothing, and the ar- bitrary proceedings of its government, com- pelled her to adopt measures of retaliation, on which she resorted with regret. Let England revoke her blockade of France, and France will recall her declaration of blockade against England. Let England revoke her cabinet Orders of the 11th No- vember, 1807, and the Milan decree will expire of itself. The American commerce will then recover its complete freedom, and be assured of finding in the harbours of France favour and protection. But it belongs to the United States to attain this happy object by their firmness. Can a na- tion, resolved to remain free, hesitate be- tween certain momentary interests, and the great cause of maintaining her inde- pendence, her honour, her sovereignty, and her dignity?"
(Signed) "M. CHAMPAGNY."
FURTHER EXTRACTS
From London papers received by the Hercules . LONDON, OCTOBER 13.
A justification of Lord Castlereagh's po- litical conduct has been published, and is attributed to the pen of his Lordship's Secretary. We have extracted from it the only passages of any interest; the rest be- ing little more than a catalogue of the several measures, internal and external, in which he took an active part in the Cabi- net or in the Senate. In the extract which we have made, the charge of duplicity and intrigue is repeated against Mr. Canning. The friends of this gentleman have at length come forward in his defence, and a statement of the transaction has been pub- lished, which is understood to come di- rectly from himself, or to have been pub- lished under his sanction. It is given at length in our preceding columns. We think it is far from being satisfactory, as to the charges; and, in one material part, it places the matter in a light very unfavour- able to him; for it would appear that the contest of the other Members of the Cabi- net to remove his Lordship, did not result from conviction. But was extorted by the pressing solicitations of Mr. Canning, and that the secret was not concealed from Lord Castlereagh by his colleagues, from an unfriendly motive, but because they ex- pected to get rid of the business by delay.
October 15.
PEACE.
It is asserted, that the negotiation will soon be opened between this country and France, for a general peace, which Bona- parte , it is said, affects very much to wish, as the last Moniteur in town stated, that he was ready to give up some few things provided that England would do the same. The probability of such an overture, we are far from calling in question; it is per- fectly consistent with Bonaparte's usual policy; but how far his proposal will be acceptable or advantageous to this country, is another question. We ought, however, to remember, that Mr. Perceval and Lord Liverpool were parties to the Amiens truce; that what has been may be again; and that a public ministry is much more likely to court popularity by a weak nego- tiation for peace than by a vigorous and effective warfare. That peace is desira- ble no man can doubt; but such a peace only as will not destroy our manufacturers, and turn three millions of manufacturers idle, is alone what Englishmen must and should have. That Bonaparte will now grant such an one, we cannot, at present, persuade ourselves to believe; but we read- ily believe, that he sees our public men scrambling for places, and contending for the interest of their country; and that he is wise enough to know, that he can much more quickly conquer us by treaties than by force.
October 16.
Mr. Canning's defence continues the sub- ject of general conversation and discussion, in the political circles. It is said, and we
believe truly, that it was written before the public opinion was expressed so strongly upon the case against him. We do not mean to say he did not deserve the thanks of the country for endeavouring to remove Lord Castlereagh from office—an event now happily accomplished, but un- fortunately too long delayed. We have already noticed the merits of the case, as it stands between the two parties as indi- viduals. As Ministers, they have a much weightier account to settle with the coun- try. Lord Castlereagh accuses Mr. Can- ning of commencing, at the same time, with one intrigue for his Lordship's re- moval from office, another intrigue like- wise, for the substitution of Lord Welles- ley in his place; the consequence of which was, as the noble accuser states, most dis- astrous to his country; for it being secret- ly determined that Lord Wellesley should succeed Lord Castlereagh, an appointment to cloak this determination was made out for the former Lord, as Ambassador to Spain, on the 1st of May, to which country he did actually not set sail till nearly three months after; not till, as the accusation states, "not till after the arrangements for the Scheldt were completed," being kept waiting all this time, as it is supposed, for the denouncement of the other plot by which Lord Castlereagh was to be ex- pelled from the Ministry. And hence, says the charge, Lord Wellesley was either "detained, or he designedly delayed set- ting off for Spain, till it was absolutely too late for him to be of any use in inducing the Spanish Junta to make those exertions, and provide those supplies which were ne- cessary for the success of our arms in Spain, and for want of which our best exertions have failed."—This charge may not be true, but it carries with it the semblance of truth, and is not noticed in Mr. Canning's statement.—If it be true, never did there exist better matter for an impeachment.
SEMLIN, August 28.
Intelligence has been received here, that Mr. Adair, the British Minister at the Sublime Porte, has intimated to the Reis Effendi, several demands in the name of this court, which occasioned an extraordi- nary sitting of the Divan, at which the Grand Signior himself presided. The nature of these demands is not known, but they are said to be accompanied with threats, which have produced a very strong sensation, and are stated to be de- rogatory to the honour of the Porte. It is not easy to form an opinion on the measures which the Turkish government will adopt on this occasion, but it is generally sup- posed, that the Divan will be compelled to declare either for or against England.
The operations of the grand Russian army seem to have been for some time at a stand; the grand Turkish army has taken up a position between Silistria and Varna, where it continues undisturbed.
All accounts from the environs of Imael agree in stating, that the Russians experi- ence the most vigorous resistance in the siege of that important fortress, and have made but very little progress in the con- struction of their works; the Turks make numerous sorties to destroy them.
HAMBURGH, October 6.
The ratification of the treaty between Russia and Sweden is to be exchanged at St. Petersburg within four weeks. The King of Sweden engages by it, no longer to admit English ships of war, or mer- chantmen into Swedish ports; but has re- served to himself the importation of salt, and colonial produce.
(Correspondentem.)
PARIS, October 1.
The Moniteur contains an Imperial De- cree, issued by his Majesty on his birth- day, the 15th of August, instituting a new order, to be called the Order of the Three Golden Fleeces, and to be especially ap- propriated to the rewarding of officers and soldiers whose corps belong to the grand army, and have served with it during three campaigns. This order is to consist, at most, of 100 Grand Knights, 400 com- manders, and 1000 Knights. The Empe- ror is Grand Master. The Imperial Prince alone obtains admission from birth. The other Princes of the blood are only admissible after serving two years in the army, or during one actual campaign. It may be conferred for services deemed worthy of it, on the Grand Officers of the Crown, the Ministers, the Presidents of the Senate and the immediate descendants of Marshals. With these exceptions, none can obtain it, but such as have in different engagements, received three wounds.
The Emperor, nevertheless, reserves to himself the privilege of bestowing it upon those who particularly distinguish them- selves by the defence of their colours, be- ing the first to mount a breach, or other splendid achievements. The memorable 15th of August will be the anniversary of the Order.
CORUNNA, October 4.
The evacuation of the place by the French was so sudden and unexpected, that we could scarcely believe the evi- dence of our senses. The Defiance and the Amazon frigates made their appear- ance off the port, without entertaining the least idea of its being abandoned by the
enemy. The Defiance has been several months at Ferrol, for the purpose of fit- ting out the Spanish ships to send them to Cadiz.

READER , ask thy heart; is he precious to thee? Is he the fairest of ten thousand, and altogether precious? 'Tis a solemn, and an important inquiry; which, if thou dost not make it of thyself, will one day be made of thee. Is the world precious to thee, and the things of the world? Hast thou no wishes, no enjoyments, no expectations, but in the world and from the world? If so, then remember, whether thou art a professor or non-professor, what God hath said; if any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. True faith is enabled to overcome the world; but if thou art overcome willingly and habitually by the world, where is thy faith? Or, at least, where is its use? And if thou hast no faith, by the testimony of God himself, thou canst never see his face in comfort. 'Tis indeed, a lamentable truth, and what has given but too much room for the sarcasms of profane wits upon professors—
That many carry things so even Between this world and hell and heaven, Thinking to give offence to neither, They freely deal in all together; And equally abhor to quit This world for both, or both for it.
We are sorry to own, but cannot deny, that there are many high and vain-glorious professors, who can talk about Christ and dispute for hours together upon the peculiarities of his gospel, who, it may be feared, are little better than sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. These are they, who give their tongue to God, but their very heart and souls to the spirit of the world. And therefore, when their sound is over, all is ever with them.—They profess in order to speak, and they speak to show their profession. By any other signs, we should not be able easily to distin- guish them from the rest of the world.
It is to be deeply lamented too, among other things, that professors are so little alone in these days, and not only do not practise, but speak against frequent re- tirements from the world, which have been the usage and desire of good and wise men at all times. A man may as justly be ex- pected to advance in learning, without si- lent reflection upon the subjects of know- ledge; as a christian can be supposed to pro- ceed in the divine life or spiritual science, without frequent prayer and meditation. There is no studying in a crowd, nor yet learning the things of God in the constant bustle and confusion of earthly affairs.—
The real christians, who are providential- ly called into these matters, find to their cost so much inquietude and distraction of spirit, as should deter others from ven- turing into them, without culling. A calm- ness of mind can scarce be expected in the midst of worldly storms; and therefore a christian, who values his own peace, will endeavour to shun them, even though some, whom the Apostle calls busy-bodies (workers about and about, and yet about nothing,) may think it monkish and gloo- my to a man to enjoy highly his God and his bible, and be satisfied in these, with- out running after the follies and fopperies of mankind. But if it be right to pray, that we may not be lead into temptation, surely it can never be right, that we our- selves should freely run into it.

Miscellany.
From the CONNECTICUT MIRROR. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
I HAVE often thought it a singular trait in the human character, that the most incredulous men are the most cred- ulous. This position, I confess, has the ap- pearance of a paradox; but it is strictly true. On speculative subjects the mind can believe what it pleases, whether it has evidence or not. With the same ease it can disbelieve when it chooses, in spite of demonstration. An ignorant man, who knows little or nothing but what he has seen, will believe that the earth stands still and that the sun performs a daily revolu- tion about it, against any evidence you bring to the contrary. The Infidel would not be persuaded of the inspiration of the Scriptures, if it were solemnly attested by one rising from the dead. Our late worthy President, on whose head his country is imploring a peculiar kind of blessings, for the wounds he gave her prosperity and her honour, is a happy exemplification of these remarks. Our readers will doubtless re- collect an account of a fall of stones from the atmosphere, which happened in West- ton, in the county of Fairfield, some time in December, 1808. The facts respecting it were collected, with great diligence on the spot, immediately after the descent, and detailed in a very minute and satisfac- tory manner by two of the Professors of Yale College. From twenty to thirty well attested statements of similar occurrences
in Europe, (several of them in France!) were then before the public. When one of these stones was presented to the Philo- sopher, that avenue to his mind, through which evidence should find its way, hap- pened to be shut. He very sagaciously re- marked, that he would much rather be- lieve that two men would lie, than that stones could fall from the clouds.
About the time of the purchase of Loui- siana the mind of our Sage was in a dif- ferent fit. A Senator of New-England was one day at his table, and sat listening with a particular sort of interest, to a magnifi- cent detail of the wonders of our new- bought wilderness. Among other things he was informed that there was an exten- sive prairie there, called the Salt plain, which the neighbouring Indians, from time immemorial, had considered as hallowed ground; that they never fought on it; and that on it they concluded their treaties of peace. But what distinguished this plain from all other plains was a daily growth of salt upon it. If you scraped away the salt of the preceding day to any extent, the next morning, when you went out, you would find a growth of salt an inch thick on the very spot you had scraped. His guest asked him, "In case you leave it for two days, will there be a growth of two inches?" The Philosopher was not prepared for this. The question was too unreasonable to deserve an answer.
The birth of the Salt Mountain , it is said, was after this wise. An officer of the United States army, stationed in Louisiana, received a communication from the Presi- dent, requesting him to forward all the in- formation he could obtain respecting that country. A young gentleman, whose good sense was qualified with a little love of mischief, happened at this time to be at the officer's quarters. He knew the size of a Philosopher's gullet. One day the of- ficer and his friend were invited to dine at the house of a French gentleman in the neighbourhood, who had lived in that coun- try many years, and on that account, was able to furnish the wished-for information. By some accident the officer was prevented from being present at the dinner. His young friend however went. About a month or six weeks after they received the official announcement of the birth of a mountain of solid rock salt in Louisiana, of the moderate size of 180 miles long and 45 miles wide, or about as extensive as the two states of Rhode-Island and Connecti- cut. The self complacency of the ac- coucheur, at its safe delivery may perhaps be imagined. Whether he expected to be able to pickle, for nothing, the buffalo and deer, that would be apt to get their horns tangled in the tall grass of the prairies; or whether he conjectured that a Salt Mountain must have cracks in it, which, on an emergency would answer for caves; time has not fully determined. The officer was led, by a variety of circumstances, to look upon his two friends as the sources of this information. The French gentleman denied any knowledge of it. Soon after he met his young friend, and asked him how he could send such strange intelligence to the President. His friend replied, that he knew it was exactly to Mr. Jefferson's taste; but if he could have conceived it possible for the President to publish the ac- count, and in this way render himself com- pletely ridiculous, he would have had too much generosity even to have told him the story. What a singular frame of mind that man must have, who could believe all this on no evidence at all; and yet with- hold his belief of the inspiration to the Scriptures, though proved by prophecies and miracles, by martyrs and Apostles; and attested by the death, resurrection, and the ascension of the Son of God.
There was a class of ancient Philoso- phers who strained at a gnat, but could swallow a camel. This last, however, seems then, to have been considered as somewhat of an exploit. But our Ameri- can Philosopher would make nothing of much more serious undertakings. Well indeed is he entitled to a proud pre-emi- nence. For though we are told of Jonah's Whale , and of swallowing a camel, yet I do not recollect having heard of but one animal, ancient or modern, who could take down, at once, a mountain as large as the whole state of Connecticut without gul- ping.
SENEGAL.
SENEGAL, captured a short time ago by the British, is an island of Africa, in the river so called, about one mile in length, from north to south, and almost half a mile in breadth from east to west. It is com- posed of a body of loose sand, productive of nothing but what is forced by art, and the richest manure; notwithstanding which, it contains 3000 inhabitants, whose principal food is fish and maize; this sort of corn growing in great plenty almost all over the island. It may seem surprising that a part of the world so very unhealthy as this, should yet be so populous; but the wonder will cease when we come to understand that the greatest pride among the men consists in the number of their wives, so that every one takes as many as he is able to main- tain, some six, others eight, and others twelve at a time. The river which sur- rounds it rises in the interior country, and runs into the Atlantick. Some Geographers

are of opinion, that it rises out of the grand lake Mabilia, and passes through a course of 1500 miles before it discharges itself into the ocean; while others no less obstinately assert it to be a continuation of the Niger, though neither opinion can be otherwise supported than by conjecture. The river Senegal is doubtless one of the largest rivers in Africa; for without ascending higher than the lake Berin, (the farthest that Europeans have penetrated, at least upon questionable authority,) it is eight hundred leagues to the island of Senegal, near the mouth of the river. So cruel, so savage, and so barbarous are the inhabitants, that few people's curiosity is sufficient to carry them through the dangers and fatigues which would necessarily attend such a pursuit.
Within two leagues of the sea, the river in its course takes a sudden turn to the south, and for the remainder of its passage, is divided from the sea by a natural ridge of land; sometimes not 100 toises over. By this curve it prolongs its course 25 leagues farther from north to south, till at length it discharges itself into the ocean, in 15 degrees, 15 minutes north latitude. This great river separates the country of the negroes from the Moors of Sahara or the Desert, stretching by a number of windings, to a prodigious length from east to west. The extreme rapidity of this river is attributed to the space passed through by so large a body of water confined within so narrow a channel, the mouth of it being no more than half a league over, and that choked up with sand, called a bar, which renders the passage exceedingly difficult and dangerous, on account not only of the shallowness of the water at all times, but the shifting of the bar, and the change of its situation after floods and heavy rains, by which the channels are lost, and new soundings requisite to discover them. Indeed the Senegal would be quite shut up, but for the channel of 200 toises in breadth, and two fathoms deep, which has long kept its situation immovable amidst the floods and overflows of the river. This bar prevents ships of 5 or 600 tons from entering the river, and mooring under the fort—an inconvenience that obliged the French Company to keep a vessel constantly at anchor in the channel, for no other purpose than to keep an account of the soundings.
The most commodious time of the year for crossing the bar, is from the month of January till August, the winds being less variable, the river smooth, and the bar fixed, until the ensuing rainy season, when the prodigious swell of the river, and the south west winds opposed to its rapid course, raise the waves to so great a height at the bar, that their dashing resembles the shock of mountains, and so furious as to dash in pieces the stoutest ship. After crossing the bar, it becomes a beautiful, smooth, and gently gliding river at four fathoms depth. In advancing a league higher, the country on the south side, is clothed with beautiful verdure, the trees in a perpetual bloom; than which nothing can form a more agreeable contrast to the dry, sandy and barren points of land that first present themselves to shipping. All around lies a great number of islands, pleasantly stocked with trees, fruits, herbage and birds; but appropriate to no use except the island of Senegal. The mouth of the river is laid down in latitude 15, 50, north.

WILKESBARRE, (Penn.) November 17.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
On Monday the 23d day of last October, Nathan Coon of Sugar-Creek, in this county, took his rifle and went into the woods in pursuit of venison. Having hunted some time, he started three deer, which run round a hill near where the new state road crosses the line of Claverack township. Mr. Coon immediately crossed the hill, with the view of meeting the deer as they should come round the point of the hill. Having proceeded a little distance, he
heard a noise of rustling in the bushes in the direction that he expected the deer to come, and eager for the game, stepped hastily forward, and seeing something move through the leaves, he fired, and the object fell. On approaching the spot, lo! instead of a deer, a man had fallen and was writhing in the most excruciating agonies. Captain Samuel Clark of Claverack had contracted to open a part of the state road, and was at work upon it alone, when the ball struck him near the right shoulder blade, and penetrated to the spine of the back.—When Mr. Coon came in with the sad intelligence, measures were immediately taken for bringing Capt. Clark, to his place of residence at Capt. Gregory's. He received his wound about 1 o'clock, P. M. and retained his senses perfectly while he survived, which was until about 8 o'clock in the evening, when he expired.
Captain Clark was a respectable and worthy man, about 55 years of age, and has left five children to mourn his untimely death. Mr. Coon appeared exceedingly afflicted; there was no doubt that the wound was entirely accidental; but such accidents occur so frequently, that it is impossible not to consider the persons who are the causes of them, if not guilty, at least extremely reprehensible for their carelessness. Hunters from such fatal consequences, ought to learn to exercise more prudence and caution for the future.
PHILADELPHIA, November 25. District Court of the United States, for the District of Pennsylvania.
November 20, 1809.
PRESENT, JUDGE PETERS.
United States, vs. Toyt Scull, and Somers. This was an action brought by the District Attorney, for the recovery of a bond of 16,586 dollars, given to the United States, 31st December, 1808, during the embargo—condition that the sloop Polly and Nancy would discharge her cargo at the port of Charleston, (S. C.) It was admitted that the bond was forfeited—inasmuch as the sloop, on leaving the Capes of Delaware, steered direct for the West-Indies, but it was contended that the bond could not be recovered, as double the amount of vessel and cargo was only 7,586 dollars. The District Attorney contended, that the bond was clearly legal, as the law did not prohibit the collector from taking more than double the amount, although it directed him not to take less; and that moreover it was not improbable in the present case, that the taking of the bond for seventeen, instead of seven thousand dollars, was a mistake in filling up the bond; that it had been voluntarily signed, and that, the United States were entitled to recover.
His Honour Judge PETERS, charged the Jury that the bond was illegal, and of course that they would find for the defendants.
The Jury retired for about half an hour, and returned into court, with a verdict for the United States; the opinion of His Honour to the contrary, notwithstanding. We do not understand that his Honour sent the Jury out of court more than once, or that they were threatened to be carted to the verge of the state for differing in opinion with the judge.
The defendants have moved for leave to shew cause, why a new trial should not be granted. As the judge has declared, that he had no hesitation in declaring the bond to be illegal, we presume a new trial will be granted, the unanimous opinion of twelve men, on their oaths and affirmation, to the contrary in any wise, notwithstanding.
NEW-YORK, November 26.
A letter from Norfolk of the 18th inst. says, the French national schooner Tilsit, of 18 guns, has arrived in Hampton Roads in 45 days from Bayonne, with despatches for General Turreau.
A Norfolk paper of the 20th inst. says—"she sails this day for Baltimore."
James Street, Esq. is appointed Cashier of the Baltimore Branch Bank, in the place of the deceased Mr. Harris.
November 27.
General WADE HAMPTON, it is published in the Natches paper, is no more; having died on his way to take the command of the United States army at New Orleans.
November 28.
Mr. Oakley, Secretary to the British Embassy, arrived in town on Friday evening from Washington. He will sail in the course of a day or two in the British packet for England. He takes despatches from Mr. Jackson.
Mr. Jackson left Washington on Friday last, on his way to New-York.
BOSTON, November 29.
The fast sailing ship Packet, Captain Trott, arrived here last evening, in 34 days from Liverpool. Our London files by her, are to the 21st, (Evening,) of October.
Not an additional official particular of the terms of the peace imposed on Austria, known to be humiliating had transpired; though the naked fact had been officially announced in Holland. The cause of this silence occasioned many conjectures, not worth repeating.
The last Couriers stated, that no prospect of any negotiation with France exist-
ed; that Parliament would not meet until January; and that discussion on ministerial alterations, had given place to schemes for celebrating the approaching jubilee, (25th of October,) when the British King entered the 50th year of his reign. At the last Cabinet Council were Earl Camden, Mr. Percival, Earl Bathurst, Liverpool and Harrowby, and Lord Mulgrave.
Passengers in the Packet.—Mr. David Hinkley, Captain Hilton, Captain Delano, Captain Farnham, Mr. Miller, Mr. Hurd, Mr. S. Briggs, Mr. H. Peterson, and Mr. West. From some of them we learn, that opinions on American affairs in England, were suspended on the fate of Mr. Jackson's negotiation here; but that the publick sentiment appeared less amicably disposed towards us than heretofore. After the peace with Austria, the confidence in the success of Spain abated.
Madame J. Bonaparte, and the Prince, her son, with his Governor, Colonel Toussard, are at Philadelphia.
Providence,
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1809.
It is a grateful spectacle for the mind to behold the relicks of our ancestors' piety preserved by their children. The observance of a day set apart for giving thanks to God for his great and multiplied mercies has amongst all the flux and reflux of contending parties been generally preserved down to our own time. Such national recognitions of divine mercies we hope will be preserved sacred as long as our national existence is preserved. We may in some measure attribute the blessings this nation has hitherto enjoyed, above all other nations of the earth, to the preservation and continuance of customs so pious. This land has hitherto been the favoured receptacle of divine mercies. After all our struggles and recriminations of a political nature, the surest way to preserve our nation from that deluge of misery, that now inundates all Europe, is with thankful hearts to acknowledge the favours of Divine Providence. Where christianity is cultivated, the people will prosper, and enjoy the smiles of its author. It is worthy of remark, that a general apathy and neglect of religion is almost an infallible omen that the state is fast approaching dissolution. A nation of infidels never can prosper, as history has abundantly declared. In the preservation of our moral and religious habits ultimately rests the security of our national independence.
Some gentlemen have been pleased to censure us for the terms of decided abhorrence that we have spoken of the character of Bonaparte. They broadly admit the facts that bear out our invectives; they declare that he is a tyrant, a murderer, an assassin, and a "long etcetera" of crimes equally enormous; but still they contend that decency is due to the station which he has acquired by the perpetration of those very enormities. This new-fangled logic of making a station acquired by the perpetration of a crime, a palliation of the crime itself, is, we confess, perfectly unanswerable otherwise than by stating the fact. A low thief who pilfers a handkerchief from the pocket receives the chastisement of the law, but the robber of independent nations of their diadems and their sovereigns is entitled to esteem and respect. With such enormities before our eyes, we are advised to adopt a civil and polite style of remark, for fear, forsooth, of giving offence to such an apostle of infamy. The monster that swallows Europe at a meal, and now demands the waters of the Atlantick to slake the thirst of his ambition, is to be gently chided for his conduct. No; let us while liberty remains, before Napoleon's padlock is fastened on our lips, at least be allowed to forewarn our countrymen of the danger now depending. Alliance with him is death—infallible, inevitable death to our national existence. Could those very gentlemen who now advocate the cause of Bonaparte, be resuscitated some ages hence, and read the history of the present century, in which they are now actors, they would shudder at the spectacle of a man whose cause they are now supporting. They would find it there stated, that nature had consolidated every crime into one piece of her workmanship, and having ransacked the box of Pandora for all its evils, she condensed them into one mass, endowed it with life, motion and intelligence, and named it Bonaparte.
As we have already published an article from the National Intelligencer, stating the cause of the rupture of our negotiation with England, we are bound in fairness to give a counter statement, which we accordingly do, from the Federal Republican.
Facts respecting the British Minister. "We averred in many successive papers, that the paragraphs of the Intelligencer, respecting the rupture with the Minister were false and fabricated. This we did from a knowledge we possessed, that the chief statement was a gross misrepresentation. But we had no conception of the extent of the profligate falsehoods, with which that paper has dared to abuse and deceive the people. From the hesitation,
which it was so natural for cautious men to feel in such circumstances, and the desire to express the truth in its true colours, we some days ago wrote for the facts to a friend in Washington, who moves in a circle enabling him to obtain correct intelligence. Yesterday evening, when the matter for our paper was too nearly completed to admit of sufficient room for the whole communication, we received his answer.—The following is a contraction of his statement.
"On Saturday preceding the Intelligencer's manifesto, Mr. Jackson did not send for a passport to leave the country, but for a safe guard for himself and his family, foreseeing, what has since happened, that as soon as the government had broken off communication with him, an attempt would be made to influence the passions of the people, and to excite them to violence, to which they had before been rendered prone by the same pens, which afterwards pretended to calm them. Mr. R. Smith was expressly informed, that the Minister did not mean to leave the country. On the Monday, before he knew that the rupture was published, a notification was given of the Minister's intention to move from Washington, accompanied with such explanations as might have led to an accommodation, if it had been desired. An inclination was even shown to further explanations, which was abruptly refused by Mr. Smith, unless the Minister would consent to say that was not fact, which he had before been told by the same Secretary was a fact."
"There has been no impeachment of veracity. Mr. Jackson took Mr. Erskine's statement as he found it, (which is not verbal, but written,) without vouching for the correctness of it. He would have received Mr. Smith's contradiction, as he says, in the same manner, if Mr. Smith had given one, which he did not, and that he had nothing to do with the veracity of either party, but to take the fact officially stated by the one and admitted by the other, viz. that three conditions, forming the whole substance of the instructions of the 23d January, had been not only communicated but expatiated upon at considerable length."
"This is a fact and no insinuation, and beyond this he declares, nothing was meant nor said. There was no intemperate or indecorous language used, but only a resistance to an attack upon the independence of a foreign minister, who it is to be remembered, treats upon a footing of perfect equality, and who would be condemned by his government, if he submitted to be schooled." Fed. Refub.
Died,
Yesterday, in the 63d year of his age, Colonel BENJAMIN HOPPIN. It was in the calm and sequestered shades of domestic life, in the bosom of an amiable family, that the character of the deceased shone with its loveliest lustre. It was there the father, the husband, and the friend, in all their beautiful varieties of radiance, blended and harmonized together. The simplicity of his mind was such as to hold no fellowship with deceit; his heart was void of guile and his tongue was ever an infallible index. To qualities so endearing may be added another trait more worthy of imitation, he was a professed follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. The comforts which that religion administers were felt at an hour which appeals the boldest nerve, and makes the heart of the mighty often to tremble with dismay, the hour of dissolution. With triumphant composure he beheld the approaches of the grave, and victorious in death resigned himself, we trust, to a glorious immortality. We would fain sympathize with a bereaved family; but is not a death like his so replete with confidence in the mercy of God, rather a subject of grateful resignation to Divine Providence? His funeral will be solemnized on Sunday afternoon, immediately after Divine Service.
Last evening, after a lingering indisposition, Mrs. JOANNA ARNOLD, in the 26th year of her age, wife of Mr. Joseph Arnold.
At one o'clock this morning, Mr. STEPHEN THURBER. It may be said of him that honesty was his motto. In the unostentatious walks of life "he kept the noiseless tenour of his way," and left a character behind him free from reproach.
In this town, on the 18th ult. Mrs. REBECCA MORRIS, wife of Mr. John Morris, in the 65th year of her age.
On Monday last, in an advanced age, Capt. JESSE SAUNDERS.
At Boston, on Tuesday last, WILLIAM COOPER, Esq. aged 68 years; 49 of which he was successively elected Town-Clerk; and during that time was never absent at a town-meeting.
At Chester, (Mass.) on the 1st of November last, Mr. JOSHUA PECKHAM, in the 27th year of his age.—The death of this amiable young man is a source of deep regret to his friends and relatives.

Possession given immediately. Three Farms pleasantly situated in the north part of Granville, they adjoin each other, and contain about 330 acres, and are extremely well calculated for the settlement and neighbourhood of a family connexion. One contains about 125 acres, with a two story House and Barn, and three flourishing young Orchards; will cut annually from 25 to 30 tons of good hay. One of 115 acres, with a one story House, Barn and young Orchard, will cut from 25 to 30 tons of hay; and one of about 90 acres, with a one story House, Barn, and a young Orchard; will cut from 8 to 12 tons of hay.

It will be noticed, that the price of land, in the unsettled towns and tracts, will be considerably less than those towns which are settling, and will not only give to an individual or company who may purchase, the advantage of a first choice, but also will secure to them, the rise in the value of the lands.
