Lands for sale. To the industrious and enterprising Farmers, who may wish to provide for growing families. THE Subscriber having spent the last season, in the county of Hancock and District of Maine, as the Agent and Attorney of Israel Thorndike, David Sears, and William Prescott, Esquires, owners of several large and valuable tracts of Land lying within said county—and having occasion while performing the duties of his agency to traverse the country in different directions, can now more certainly and definitely describe the soil, timber, and natural advantages of the several tracts, which he now again offers for sale to actual settlers only— Viz.—16,000 acres of Land lying in a body, in the centre of the town of Prospect, and lying from 1 to 6 miles from the navigable waters of the bay and river of Penobscot: The soil is generally good, and the growth, Beech, Sugar, Maple, Yellow Birch, and Ash; and where the growth is Spruce, its proximity to the water renders it very valuable for knees of vessels and spars. Through this tract of Land, a road is cut, 4 rods wide, and 2 rods in the centre, taken up by the roots, which will be cleared out and made passable the ensuing season. 6,000 acres lying in the Plantations of Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, and Knox: In this tract, there is less waste land, than will be found in any tract of land of the same size and shape, in either of the counties of Worcester, Hampshire, or Berkshire; the soil is good, covered principally with hard wood, such as Beech, Maple, Yellow Birch, Basswood, and Ash; and in different parts of this tract, there is a sufficient quantity White Cedar, to furnish fencing materials for many years. The whole of this tract is situated from 6 to 16 miles from the fine navigable waters of Penobscot Bay. Roads are cutting at the expense of the proprietors, in various directions, through the tract; and upon the tract are already settled one hundred and twenty active, industrious Farmers. —ALSO— 25,000 acres lying upon the head waters of St. George's River, about 10 miles S.W. of Belfast—the soil and growth of the hard wood land, the same as in the last described tract: There is also upon this tract, large quantities of excellent pine timber, and upon the Western Branch of St. George's River, the Proprietors are erecting a Saw Mill, which will be in operation by the first of July; and they will also erect a Grist Mill there as soon as the interest of the settlers shall require it. In either of these tracts, bodies of land may be found of an excellent quality, well calculated to accommodate ten or twelve families who may wish to remove from the same neighbourhood to settle thereon; and the first and last described tracts, will accommodate any number of families who may wish to better themselves by removing thither, and still continuing their former intercourse and neighbourhood after their removal.
The town of Belfast, lying upon Belfast Bay, so called, and the town of Frankfort, lying upon Penobscot River, will be the immediate marts and places of deposit for the surplus produce of the settlers, residing on these Lands. These towns though new, are flourishing, and the commercial part of their respective inhabitants are enterprising and industrious. Trade, navigation and vessel building, are successfully carried on in both those places; and the timber for building their vessels, is procured through the agency of the inhabitants now on this land, and from this very land itself.
These Lands thus advantageously situated, the subscriber has been selling the first season, at from four to eight dollars per acre—Having regard to the particular situation and quality of the Lots, and the benefits according to the owners and the country, in the acquisition of good industrious settlers, he will continue to sell on the same terms which he has heretofore sold at; and should any number of industrious farmers, in any part of the country, think of removing, and should select an agent (in whose judgment they have confidence) to view the lands, the subscriber will be found at Belfast in the said county of Hancock, and will give such agent every satisfaction in his power respecting the Lands. Likewise for 1808. 9000 Acres of Land in the towns of Camden, Lincolnville, and Northport. A liberal credit will be given for the whole or a part of the purchase money, as may best suit the purchaser. March 1808. PHINEHAS ASHMUN.

Hear! What ENGLISHMEN say of our EMBARGO.
From "Bell's Weekly Messenger," a London paper, of January 31, 1808.
EMBARGO. The last papers from America communicate the intelligence of a strong measure which in the present crisis of their affairs the United States have deemed it prudent to adopt. It is an Embargo on their own shipping; an interdiction of all foreign trade whatever; it is a suspension of the exercise of those natural rights which they were determined not to surrender, and did not choose to contest. It is a dignified retirement from the commerce of foreign nations, at a period when the two great Powers of the World have scarcely any other object of contention left. When to prevent trade on the part of the one, and to force it into prohibited channels on the part of the other, is almost the sole remaining motive which nourishes the flame of war in Europe.
To prevent kindling from the common blaze; and that necessary injury from the struggle which an unavoidable inclination to one party or the other must have produced, America has pursued a conduct of found wisdom, and true political virtue.
As trade is the object of the quarrel, she has resigned the prize to the combatants—She has withdrawn her claims from the lift, and retreated to the tranquillity of a spectator.
This was the only middle point left her between peace and war.
The Embargo is hostile to no Power, because the measure is founded upon those just rights of controul, which, in national exigencies, every Government must have a right to exercise over its own subjects; and because, if it be hostile to any party, it is hostile to the American merchants themselves.
It is a measure of peace and precaution. It is impartial because it is universal: it is just because its direct operation is upon those alone, whose rights, as subjects of America, the supreme power of the State has a power to modify, to suspend or to abridge.
As there are no exceptions in favour of any people, they can be no just cause of suspicion on the part of any; England, France and Spain, are upon the same footing of common exclusion; or rather indeed, the American Merchant is precluded from trading with any or either.
We thus see that America has resolved not to be caught in hostilities; and as she has found what is ordinarily called neutrality impossible, she has resorted to the defensive system with equal dignity and prudence; she has withdrawn from Europe, and fallen back upon her own resources. In the common phrase, she is at length resolved to keep herself to herself—She sets the first example of trying to live without Europe; and it now remains for Europe to try how she can live without America.
With respect to the islands of France, Spain, and the other powers in the Atlantic, which we call the West India Islands, there is no alternative with respect to them but the following; they must starve or surrender without a siege to Great Britain.—As we possess the sea, their mother countries cannot supply them with that food which they are unable to raise for themselves; and America from the operation of her embargo, will not supply them.
What then is to become of them? they must either be the prey of famine or the spoil of Great Britain.—But is it to our advantage to conquer them? Certainly not—We cannot feed so many additional mouths as St. Domingo alone contains, without diminishing our necessary stock of subsistence; moreover, we must now supply our own Colonies with provisions.—Smithfield, Leadenhall, and Mark lane, will now swarm with new Contractors for Barbadoes, Jamaica and Antigua; we shall have to feed a black population in our several islands exceeding one million; and a white population of a hundred and fifty thousand.
Can the nation support this long? are our crops so very abundant, and our harvests so regularly exuberant, that we can afford an increased consumption of a million and a half; that we can feed, in addition to our own people, half as many mouths as all Ireland contains.

Here is the danger; here is the real pressure; the loss or suspension of our commerce is a mere subordinate evil to this. — If a year of scarcity should again overtake us, which Providence in its mercy avert, how would the people of Great Britain endure to see their markets stripped, and their provisions shipped away for the West Indies.
We are indeed supporting these lands at an aggravated expense, if we must exchange our corn and cattle, for their sugar-cane, and molasses.
We have now seen how America values her trade and how false, notoriously false, have been all our estimates of those feelings and prejudices, which, as operating so extensively upon us, we had conceived to operate as generally upon her.
And here we cannot help reverting to an article which our readers will find in the WEEKLY MESSENGER of January 17th. It was written, of course, many days before the intelligence of the Embargo were received; but it will be found to be a complete anticipation of the line of policy which America was likely to pursue; a true description of her national feelings, and an impartial estimate of her political wisdom.
Our only wish is, that this article may have a tendency to encourage that spirit of conciliation which, in the present state of things, should be cherished at any hazard. — We have no desire but to see harmony restored between the two countries; and an union of interests, and strict alliance of friendship, would not only check the present form with which we are threatened, but have a greater tendency than any other possible measure, to lift us to the level of our towering enemy, and preserve the CAPITOL LIMMOBILE SAXUM of the British Constitution.
We extract this article as it appeared, because we are convinced the sentiments it contains cannot be too deliberately weighed by the considerate and prudent. — We pronounce with confidence that it contains points, which it is impossible to confute.
PEACE WITH AMERICA.
The question of most general interest is, what is to be our future connection with America — Are we to have Peace or War?
It is to be feared, that upon this subject, the public feeling, under the management of party, and the fermentation of somewhat of the old leaven, is in a dreadful state of irritation. What is the vulgar cry — Let us have war with America! It will punish her insolence, destroy her commerce, cripple her future attempts at rivalry, and throw her back a whole century in her national growth.
She has been dictated from the imbecility of her infancy to her present mature strength upon the industry and manufactures of England. She has no wealth but the wealth of merchants; no civil subsistence but what she draws from us. Let us make her feel our supremacy, and confess our power, by this pressure upon her necessities.
An American cannot shave or clothe himself without the aid of Sheffield or Manchester — Without the warmth of our fleeces he must be racked with rheumatism and agues. Have we not a whole Continent in check?
Is it possible that America could subsist independent of the clothiers of Yorkshire?
Such is the popular cry; it is the old delusion, a fey from the same flock of prejudice which originally lost us these Colonies.
In every crisis of danger and difficulty we have never hesitated to speak the truth; we pronounce it therefore now, with a confidence which we trust will not be deemed immodest, as it has no other source than in an ardent feeling for the good of our Country.
Peace with America, a close conjunction of interests, a confederacy of friendship; a Family Compact and Union, is the most desirable of all possible events that could occur in Great Britain at this present moment.
The war has now ceased; and, as far as the conflict of armies is concerned, the sword is sheathed. The Continental Confederacy is split and bulged to its last timber; and in that state of decomposition and wreck, that dexterity can promise itself to put it again together.
There is but one Power on the Continent of Europe; and but one Power upon the Sea — The Leviathan of the land and of the waters.
In this state of things, America is, beyond a doubt, the third and next great power of the world. — She has grown to it by her industry and under the encouragement of heaven; and we cannot prevent it.
A nation of eight millions of people, upon a boundless Continent; with two immense oceans rolling on either side which connect them easily with every part of the world that is not their own; such a nation in the present state of things is a political phenomenon. — From habit, from common growth, from reciprocal descent, from a prejudice arising from wants and habits of the same sort, she belongs to us, and nothing but our own folly can alienate her.
Such a nation as this, war can neither cripple nor throw back — Destroy her trade, and you do an essential service to her; but an irreparable injury to yourself. — She is a Continent; Commerce is nothing to her; We must not think every national good to be found only in the Price Current .
The mercantile interests of America forms but a very small interest of the whole. There is an interest of the soil as well as the sea — America will not debate herself for her traders. — She encourages them, because she lives and profits by their industry; but be assured she hates, and is guarded against the well known selfishness of their feelings.
In a national consideration she would care as little for the ruin of her merchants as you would.
She knows that it is not the sea, but the land that produces wealth; and the merchant of America, who is scarcely more than a factor or a carrier of the goods of other nations, does little indeed (while his capital is thus employed) for the permanent wealth and benefit of his country.
Destroy this traffic; cut off America from your supplies, and you drive her to the sub-
stitution of her own industry and ingenuity; you force her upon ways and means of her own; you strike out her latent qualities; and if she once learns to supply herself (and necessity will quickly teach a lesson, upon which fortune and providence have never failed to smile,) your market and future traffic with her will be lost to you forever. — She will have manufactures of her own, and your customer will prove your rival.
Peace with America will as certainly give us all the continuing benefits of the one, as War will both take them away, and supply her with the future means of doing without them.
Let us then have Peace with America; and though the whole Continent be shut against us, she can give us all the raw articles we want, and consume them all when we have worked them up.
We want nothing from any other — The tar, hemp, turpentine, and iron of America, are ten times cheaper and better than those of the Baltic.
The President's Message of the 25th ult. recommending to Congress the adoption of strong measures of national defence, was no doubt predicated upon a conviction, that we cannot escape the alternative of war either with France or England, or both. The times are indeed gloomy — and call for union and energy in our national councils. We trust, the most vigorous measures that government may find it necessary to adopt, will be cheerfully supported by their constituents. Our opinion on this subject is dictated by all the information we receive from various parts of the Union. The following article from the Genesee Messenger , is directly to the point. Alb. Reg.
HAIL COLUMBIA!
"We conversed with a number of our country farmers, who attended court last week, on the Embargo, and enjoy a high degree of pleasure in finding them so firm in their patriotism and attachment to the prudent measures of our government. — Some conceive that its duration cannot be shorter than 12 months and Spurn the idea of complaining at its evils: Others wish it might continue seven years, and direct the pursuits of our country to the cultivation of its natural and internal resources. All allow the abundance of our provisions on hand must preserve us from distress, and our sufferings will be merely the privations of luxuries; privations which for triviality when compared with those of the days of 76 would have been considered by the fag-ends of our revolution almost a Heavenly blessing."
"Firm, united, let us be, Rallying 'round our liberty!"
From the AURORA .
CALL YOU THIS AMITY?
The people of the United States perhaps have not yet forgotten the case of captain Jessup, who was so cruelly treated by the captain of a British ship of war. The following case fell under our perusal, where the statement of the respectable and injured man has been drawn up, to be transmitted to the secretary of state.
Mr. Thomas Norris, a respectable citizen of Philadelphia, and who has failed from this port for thirty years and upwards, for the greater portion of the time as master or chief mate, has been treated in such a manner without any sort of provocation, as must excite the indignation of every man who has a single spark of American feeling in him.
We have requested permission to take a copy of his affidavit and another paper; the whole of which are, we understand, supported by the evidence of the crew, now in this port, and by the affidavits of several others — the affidavit supercedes any other narrative. Philadelphia County, ss.
Personally appeared before me, the subscriber, one of the justices of the peace in and for said county, Thomas Norris, a citizen of the United States, aged 49 years, who has commanded several vessels belonging to the port of Philadelphia.
On his solemn oath he saith, that on the 30th day of January last (1808) he was on board of the brig Molly , commanded by Capt. Samuel Holt, in the port of Currao, and was then the first officer of the said brig, when about half past 8 o'clock A. M. he was taken from on board said brig by a number of men armed, and carried on board of the Lark , British sloop of war, commanded by Capt. Robert Nichols, who is commander in chief of all the British ships of war on that station; that on his arrival in custody of the armed men aforesaid on board the ship of his Britannic majesty, he was accosted by the officer commanding on deck, who asked this deponent what countryman he was? To which this deponent answered in a respectful manner, that he was an American; that the said commanding officer then said to or concerning this deponent, that he would pay him for his country's sake, and thereupon ordered one of the crew of the said British sloop of war Lark , who stood by with a heavy piece of rope in his hand, to do his duty. That this deponent upon hearing such unexpected and extraordinary sayings and proceedings, addressed himself to the officer, and requested to be informed what charge or allegation was there against him, what offence or wrong had he done; — to which his requests, he received no answer but a repetition of the order to the seaman to do his duty — and who did thereupon give this deponent several severe strokes with a two and a half inch rope, which severely injured this deponent: who thereupon again addressed the said commanding officer requesting him that he would have some regard to his age and grey hairs; that he had a numerous family to maintain; but the seaman acting under the orders of the British officer, continued to beat this deponent about the body, arms and head 'till he was scarcely able to stand or move his limbs, having received from 50 to 60 blows.

British Barbarity and Piracy!!
The account of the outrageous proceeding of the British on American vessels at Canton must have been known in Boston by the arrival of the brig Caravan , Capt. Gilchrist — But the owners are the relations of Timothy Pickering, the ardent friends of Britain — and all information relative to the following infamous transaction has been suppressed there.
We understand that the documents in support of the statement have been forwarded on to the secretary of state at Washington.
FACTS,
Respecting the treatment of Americans by the commanders of British vessels of war within the neutral waters of the empire of China, in 1807.
The brig Caravan , Capt. Gilchrist, arrived at Macao, and was boarded by an officer from his majesty's brig Diana , lieutenant Kempthorne commander. The officers had orders to take out a Frenchman, who had been impressed by the captain of a British vessel in the Straits of Malacca, but returned by order of the commander in chief on that station. Captain Gilchrist refused to deliver him, alledging his engagements to perform the voyage, and reminding the officer of his former impressments. The next morning the Caravan was again boarded, and the demand for the Frenchman renewed, when the officer was informed that he had left the brig, and was allowed to search. As his search was unsuccessful, he took a Dutchman, who was shortly after returned, and informed captain Gilchrist he had orders to take his carpenter, provided the Frenchman could not be found. He was told in reply, that the Frenchman was not on board, and that he should not have the carpenter. At this time, the Caravan having her pilot on board, had got underway to run up the river, and the Diana was underway to the windward of her. As soon as the officer reached the Diana she bore away, run stern on the Caravan , when lieutenant Kempthorne, and thirty or forty men armed with cutlasses and pistols, boarded and demanded the Frenchman or the carpenter.
Captain Gilchrist replied, that no man should be taken but himself, and ordered his carpenter below. Kempthorne ordered his seamen to seize some of the crew, which Capt. Gilchrist opposing, Kempthorne directed them to seize him. This they attempted to do, as he was rescuing one of his seamen, cut him across the hand, disarmed and threw him upon deck, where they tied him and his first officer. They next tied a rope round his second officer, threw him overboard, and dragged him on board the Diana !
This outrageous exercise of power ended by the release of captain Gilchrist and the return of his officer, and permission to proceed to Whampoa. A few days after arrived the schooner Topaze , captain Nichols, owned by Messrs. Smith* and Buchanan of Baltimore, and was examined by an officer from the Diana . The next day, the 8th of August, three English and one American seamen, belonging to the schooner, sent a letter to lieutenant Kempthorne, expressing a wish to leave the schooner and enter his Majesty's service, and requesting a boat might be sent for them, which was done, and a demand made by Kempthorne for their wages, which being refused, he found some money of the runaway seamen, paid them himself, and returned on board his vessel. He was there informed by these sailors, that the schooner had been committing piratical depredations on the South-West coast of America, firing at and plundering under English colors, three Spanish brigs. Without questioning their veracity, he immediately armed his boats, and proceeded for the schooner. She was underway running in for the Portuguese harbor, called the Typa , by permission of the governor of Macao. As the boat approached, Capt. Nichols desired them to keep off; determined as is supposed, not to suffer the same insults that had been offered to Capt. Gilchrist, and as the boats still approached, he presented a blunderbuss at the nearest; the men from which boarded almost immediately. Lieutenant Kempthorne was slightly wounded on the temple, and knocked overboard. The boat then dropped astern to pick him up, which having done, they boarded on each quarter, wounded two men and a boy, and forced their whole crew to retreat forward, where Capt. Nichols was shot through the body by the sailing master of the brig, and expired immediately. The remainder of the crew fled to the forecastle, and the schooner remained entirely in possession of the British, who moved her alongside the Diana , and lifted her cargo into the latter without further ceremony.
Shortly after arrived the Phaeton , Capt. Pellaw, who approved of Lieut.
Kempthorne's conduct, took the disposition of the seamen belonging to the schooner, and although not a circumstance transpired to induce the public to place any belief in the assertions of the disaffected seamen, ordered her for Bombay for trial on suspicion of piracy. A request was made a few hours afterwards to Lt. Kempthorne, by an American gentleman at Macao, for the body of Capt. Nichols, who informed him that it was already buried. The Americans soon learnt with mingled emotions of regret and indignation, that it had been committed to the waves without form or ceremony. They were however to be further insulted by Capt. Pellaw. He had impressed from the Bellisarius several American seamen, and although proofs were forwarded, taken by the American Consul, Mr. Carrington, of their citizenship, not only refused to give them up, but returned an insolent reply to the letter which accompanied them. He had on board his ship a British seaman, impressed from the ship Fair American , capt. Concklin, two years preceding, and who had received from capt. Concklin, duplicate drafts for his wages, upon a House in London. As the sailor had kept one of the drafts, an application was made to captain Concklin on his arrival at Macao, in the Gen. Clarkson, for the payment of it. This was refused, unless the order could be produced, or a protest to shew it had not been paid by his agents in London. The Gen. Clarkson proceeded for Whampoa, though captain Pellaw threatened if the draft was not paid to fire into her while getting underway. The draft was shortly forwarded to Mr. Carrington, with a demand for payment, and for the payment of the wages due the men impressed from the Bellisarius ; and a threat, that in case of refusal, he would send his boats and take out six men from the Clarkson, in addition to the two he had before taken. Ere any reply had been returned to this letter, another was received by Mr. Carrington, importing, that capt. Pellaw had heard of a combination among the American captains, to defend their vessels from being boarded at Whampoa, and to render each other assistance in case the Phaeton's boats should attempt it; and that he was determined, in case the bill was not immediately paid, together with the wages before demanded, to send 200 men on board the company's ship Retreat , lying at Whampoa, haul her along side the Clarkson, and enforce his demands. This letter was by Mr. Carrington communicated to the American captains at Canton, who immediately made such arrangements as were thought necessary to repel the attack. Fortunately the Hang merchants became alarmed, and by a speedy interference obliged capt. Pellaw to relinquish his intentions.
The British ships anchor at the mouth of the river Tigris , and bring too and examine all vessels. As they have the power, they contend for the right of exercising jurisdiction within the neutral waters of China, and as the Chinese honor is not sensible to insults of this nature, it is probable they will continue the exercise of their assumed rights, till the American government shall interfere for its prevention.

It has been said by the federalists, that the French cruizers could not seriously interrupt American commerce; and that therefore, we ought to come to the best terms we could with the English; [be they what they may:] and that we might in that case take off the Embargo, and uninteruptedly pursue our trade with England. The following is a complete refutation of this federal position. Essex Reg.
BOSTON, MARCH 29.
French Adjudication!
Yesterday arrived ship Pocahontas , capt. Harris, in 30 days from Liverpool. On the 1st of March, in lat. 48, lon. 16, was brought too by two French frigates, and capt. H. was ordered on board the Commodore's. Directions were then given that the stores should be taken out, and the ship burnt. These orders were afterwards countermanded, and the stores returned, the captain signing an obligation to steer to the westward. However, all the crates which could be come at were thrown overboard. On the ship's being released, the crews of the ship William , of Savannah, capt. Rockwell; Eliza , of New-York, capt. Dunbar; and Brutus , of Duxbury, capt. Smith (in all 47 persons,) were put on board the Pocahontas . Those ships having been BURNT by the frigates. On the 18th of March fell in with the ship Baltic , of New-Bedford, capt. Delano, who had the goodness to take 20 of the men. The frigates were called the Hermoine and Hortense , of 32 guns each. They had been to the West Indies with troops, and were then cruizing off the channel. Capt. Delano informed,
that he had been boarded by a French privateer and permitted to pass, as had several others; but the ship Mars , of Philadelphia, had been taken by her, and sent to France.
In addition to the above information we learn, that the French frigates had on board a number of English prisoners, that the William and Brutus , failed in company with the Pocahontas , from Liverpool; that they all had on board salt and crates; that several other vessels failed in company, some of whom were supposed to be to the eastward of the squadron; that the Frenchmen wished to fall in with some vessel with bale goods; and intended to look out for the Sally , Lewis ; that they took the English papers containing marine news on board the frigates; that the Brutus was bound to Boston, and had on board about 2000 letters.
The Bristol Packet , from London for New York, was taken January 24, seven days after sailing, by the French frigates Themis and Penelope , and scuttled immediately.
FOREIGN ARTICLES.
British Manufactures suffering!
From "Bell's Weekly Messenger," of January 10, 1808.
   COTTON imported into Liverpool, in the year 1807. BAGS     From the U. States, 143,756   Portugal, 11,852   British Colonies, 41,736  
This account we submit to the serious consideration of our readers, and beg them to observe what a quantity of raw materials is furnished by America, for one of the most important branches of our manufacture. What then must be the consequence, should the voice of our desperate politicians succeed in prompting us into a war with the United States? It is quite preposterous to talk of the capacity of the Brazils to afford any thing like a substitute for even half the amount of the cotton we receive from America. Whence then is the supply to be obtained? It may be said that America must be distressed if deprived of our market for her cotton — but even granting that, what is to become of the immense multitude of our population employed in the different departments of the cotton trade, should the American cotton be excluded from our market — and what indeed is to become of that and several other articles of our manufacture should we be deprived of the American demand?

Liverpool, February 17.
The debates in both houses of Parliament, during the last week, will be found very interesting — Ministers and their friends have received a considerable shock from the detail of circumstances by Lord Hutchinson. His lordship asserted, in the most unreserved manner, that "the attack on Copenhagen, had alone alienated the Emperor of Russia from us, and induced him to declare war against England — that he would insist till the hour of his death, that our conduct at Copenhagen was the sole cause of the war with Russia." His Lordship also declared, that "the terms on which the Emperor of France was willing to make peace with England, were not only equitable terms, but in his opinion, perfectly honorable for this country." The ministers may refuse to grant the information called for by the house, they may hug themselves in their supposed security, and speak peace to their own bosoms; the fire they have put to their neighbor's house has not yet reached their own — but the time is coming when they must fall from their situations, and their artifices be no longer of use to them. — A few more statements like those of Lord Hutchinson's must surely, unless they have departed farther from the old morality than can be expected for the time, make them tremble for the injury and insults they have offered to their own country — to Denmark — and to the world. The atrocity of the attack on Denmark, and the impolicy of the late orders of council, will stand on the annals of this country, from which our posterity may learn how far it is possible for the human character to sink in depravity; and, unless the present generation abjure the crime, will blush to find themselves the descendants of modern Britons.

MESSAGE
From the President of the United States, Transmitting a letter from the secretary of State, to Mr. Monroe, on the subject of the attack on the Chesapeake; also, Mr. Monroe's correspondence with the British government, and Mr. Madison's correspondence with Mr. Rose on the same subject.—Likewise, all the communications, official or verbal, from the French Government, respecting the general relations between the two countries, which have been received from any official sources.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
At the opening of the present session, I informed the legislature, that the measures which had been taken with the government of Great Britain, for the settlement of our neutral and national rights, and of the conditions of commercial intercourse with that nation, had resulted in articles of a treaty, which could not be acceded to on our part; that instructions had consequently been sent to our ministers there, to resume the negotiations, and to endeavor to obtain certain alterations, and that this was interrupted by the transaction which took place between the frigates Leopard and Chesapeake. The call on that government for reparation of this wrong produced, as Congress has been already informed, the mission of a special Minister to this country, and the occasion is now arrived, when the public interest permits and requires, that the whole of these proceedings should be made known to you.
I therefore now communicate the instructions given to our Minister resident at London, and his communications to that government, on the subject of the Chesapeake, with the correspondence which has taken place here between the Secretary of State and Mr. Rose, the special Minister charged with the adjustment of that difference; the instructions to our Ministers for the formation of a treaty; their correspondence with the British commissioners, and with their own government on that subject; the treaty itself and written declaration of the British Commissioners accompanying it; and the instructions given by us for resuming the negotiation, with the proceedings and correspondence subsequent thereto. To these I have added a letter lately addressed to the Secretary of State from one of our late Ministers, which, though not strictly written in an official character, I think it my duty to communicate, in order that his views of the proposed treaty, and of its several articles, may be fairly presented and understood.
Altho' I have heretofore, and from time to time, made such communications to congress as to keep them possessed of a general and just view of the proceedings and dispositions of the government of France towards this country, yet, in our present critical situation when we find that no conduct on our part, however impartial and friendly, has been sufficient to ensure, from either belligerent, a just respect for our rights, I am desirous that nothing shall be omitted on my part which may add to your information on this subject, or contribute to the correctness of the views which should be formed. The papers which for these reasons, I now lay before you, embrace all the communications, official or verbal, from the French government, respecting the general relations between the two countries, which have been transmitted through our minister there, or through any other accredited channel, since the last session of congress, to which time, all information of the same kind had, from time to time, been given them.—Some of these papers have already been submitted to congress; but it is thought better to offer them again, in order that the chain of communications, of which they make a part, may be presented unbroken.
When, on the 26th February, I communicated to both houses the letter of Gen. Armstrong to M. Champagny, I desired it might not be published, because of the tendency of that practice to restrain injudiciously the freedom of our foreign correspondence. But perceiving that this caution, proceeding purely from a regard to the public good, has furnished occasion for disseminating unfounded suspicions and insinuations, I am induced to believe, that the good which will now result from its publication, by confirming the confidence and union of our fellow citizens, will more than counteract the ordinary objection to such publications. It is my wish therefore that it may be now published.

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1808.
Latest from EUROPE.
An arrival at New York from Liverpool, London papers to the 22d, & Liverpool to the 24th Feb. have been received.
The papers are principally occupied with the debates in the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain on the late Orders of Council against neutral commerce; the expedition to Copenhagen; the proposed mediation of Austria between England and France; the negotiation with Portugal; the expedition to the Dardanelles; and the improper use which his Majesty has made of the Droits of Admiralty, by granting the sum of 20,000l. sterling to several of his profligate children, at a time when the pressure of the public burthens became almost intolerable to the great mass of the nation.
For the late orders of council the ministry have had recourse to a bill of indemnity. In the house of Peers, when the subject of these orders were under consideration, Lord Erskine (the late Chancellor) observed that they must lead to the most calamitous consequences.—America, it was generally acknowledged, was the main source of British commercial prosperity, and these measures would inevitably dry it up, and compel the people of the United States to turn their thoughts to a navy and manufactures, contrary to the advice of the great and good Washington, and thereby fix permanently their attention on what may ultimately ruin England.
On a motion in the House for an Address to his majesty praying for the production of official information touching the execution of the French decrees of blockade previous to the 11th November, the ministry were left in a minority of 9.
A bill was before Parliament at our last dates for "more effectually carrying into execution certain orders in council made for the protection of the trade and navigation of Great Britain, and granting duties of customs on certain goods exported from Great Britain;" and a meeting had been called, by twenty-two of the most respectable houses in Liverpool to petition Parliament against its passing into a law until the objectionable parts of it should be expunged or modified. Among other articles of taxation, the bill proposes an export duty of 2s 6d sterling per bushel on Salt, which is considered as a staple branch of the export trade of Liverpool. This port, it is computed, carries on three fourths of the trade between the United States and Great Britain; and some idea of its importance may be collected from the fact that the annual export of British manufactures to the United States exceeds ten millions sterling, and the demand constantly and rapidly increasing. In the port of Liverpool alone during the year 1807, entered 489 American vessels, averaging 252 tons, and paying a tonnage duty of 309,684l. In addition to which, the amount paid in dock duties, port charges, and disbursements among the tradesmen of Liverpool, is estimated at 149,300l. exclusive of any charge or any expense on the cargoes.
The Rochefort squadron, it was supposed at Gibraltar, had put into Catheragena. The British, in pursuit, were off Malaga, the 12th February.
It appears by the arrival of a gentleman of information at Charleston from Europe, that a grand effort is about to be made for the procuring of a general peace. A general congress is proposed to be called to which the English are to be invited to send—The basis of the peace is to be a general acknowledgement of the liberty of the seas upon liberal principles. The British are to be allowed to retain their navy and their conquests. If they refuse, all the continental powers are to unite in their humiliation. A plan to this effect is said to have been submitted to Bonaparte.—The army for its accomplishment is to consist of 300,000 men, divided into three grand divisions; two minor divisions called the right wing, under the command, one, of the crown prince of Denmark; the other under prince Constantine, are to proceed from the Baltic; the grand army from France and Holland; and the left wing from Spain, Portugal and the Mediterranean ports. America is not to be required to join the contest, but to withhold from the British her wonted supplies. The naval force to consist of 200 sail of the line, 300 frigates, and 4000 gun-boats, brigs, sloops of war, &c. &c. The expense to be defrayed by all the nations engaged in this gigantic enterprise for the restoration of a general peace. Balt. Amer.
The last accounts from Liverpool say they startle at our Embargo, are alarmed at our firmness, and fear for the consequences.
Accounts from England agree, that the intelligence of our Embargo had produced a salutary and powerful effect there in our favor. The injustice and impolicy of their blocking orders began to be felt and acknowledged, and the current of public opinion was setting strongly against the new ministerial system. The consequences of a loss of our market for their manufactures were seriously dreaded. If we were united and attached to our government, success would be certain.
The late French seizure and destruction of our vessels, no less than British seizures and condemnations, prove the propriety and necessity of the embargo, as a temporary measure of defence; and nobody contemplates it as a permanent regulation.
The embargo was laid as well on account of the French decrees as the English orders of blockade; and opposition to this measure of our government will weaken and embarrass them in their controversy on this subject, with France as well as with Britain. Chronicle.
The southern papers are quite free with Picking's letter. The Baltimore Advertiser calls it a tiresome talk to expose the absurdities, false hypotheses, and deceptions, with which the letter abounds. It says if justly dealt by, Picking would be cited before the Senate to prove what he has said, and if he could not, he should be expelled.
Timothy Picking's early morning visits for a fortnight before his late letter—to Mr. Rose; and the secret conferences between them—are now explained.
Mr. Rose's negotiation is now at an end. And it now turns out, first, that he had no authority to treat on any other subject than the outrage upon the Chesapeake. 2d That on that subject, his instructions forbid him to offer any satisfaction, until on our part the President's Proclamation should be revoked. Our government sincerely desirous of avoiding war and maintaining peace, not only consented to treat with him on that particular subject of grievance, independent of other claims, but even proposed that if he would state what satisfaction he had to offer, and it should be found to be such that it could be honorably accepted, a revocation of our Proclamation and the act of reparation on their part, should bear the same date. But even that was refused by him. His instructions required him to demand an atonement on our part by a revocation of the Proclamation, before he could offer any terms of satisfaction. And as that Preliminary could not be complied with, he made no offer whatever of any satisfaction for the Chesapeake outrage.
A candid world will be astonished at this base attempt to trifle with our government and deceive the nation: It is adding insult to injury. It is a most pointed affront. The President's Proclamation received the cordial approbation of every true American, and the applause of the whole civilized world, as a temperate, dignified, and wise measure. To revoke it, under such circumstances, would be to pass sentence of condemnation upon it.—This was demanded as a preliminary, which must be granted, before he would even state any terms of reparation which he would afterwards propose. Any man among us, who, after this disclosure, shall justify such conduct on the British part, and condemn our government, as actuated by a wish to plunge the nation into a war, ought to be marked as a traitor to his country. And yet Timothy Picking, one of our Senators, without stopping to ascertain the fact, has prostituted his official character, by falsely representing that Great Britain had offered honorable reparation, and that our government rejected it in order to bring about a war. This infamous letter will soon be proverbial, as well for its unblushing falsehoods, as for its deadly hostility to our national government. Chronicle.
The documents communicated by the President relative to our foreign affairs, have in part arrived, and are quite voluminous. It being impossible to give them at large, in the present number, and not having a view of the whole so as to furnish an abstract, we must defer our readers to put up with the Message alone, for the present. We have already seen enough to convince us, that these papers will place the calumniators of government, such as Picking, &c. in a situation by no means delightful. Democrat.

HUMBLY shews, that we your petitioners inhabitants of the town of Danbury, in the county of Grafton, that said town containing only about thirty families, is greatly burthened with maintaining a great length of bad and expensive highways, a considerable part of which lies in the unletted parts of the town, and but little traveled by the inhabitants in general; likewise, they have to build and support three bridges in said town, over Smith's river so called, two of which were entirely demolished or swept away by a late freshet, the other very considerably damaged and must soon be rebuilt or undergo a thorough repair.
Therefore we pray this Honorable Court to grant a tax of three cents per acre, on all the lands in Danbury (public rights excepted) for the purpose of rebuilding said bridges and repairing the road throughout the town, and to appoint a committee for the laying out of the same, and your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.

To the Honorable the Senate, and the Honorable the House of Representatives of the State of New Hampshire, in General Court assembled.
THE petition of Joseph Frost and others of said state, humbly shews, That the said Joseph is lawful administrator of the goods and estate of Joseph Frost, late of New-Castle, in said State, merchant, deceased.
That he, with others your petitioners, heirs at law to the said Joseph, deceased, proceeded for many years in the business of the said Joseph after his demise, and until the interruption of foreign intercourse, by means of the American revolution, as joint partners in trade. That one Edward Sargent of Portsmouth, was found, and still continues to be indebted to the said deceased's estate, and also to said partners in trade, for whom the said Joseph, is duly constituted agent. That the business of the said copartnership was carried on, under the title of Margaret Frost, and company, which said Frost, now Margaret Rollins, was widowed to the said deceased Joseph. That the said Edward Sargent, had been long in the employ of the said concern, and such was the friendship of your petitioners, toward the said Edward, that a recurrence to legal process, to enforce a settlement with said Edward, was greatly repugnant to the feelings of your petitioners, which together with the derangement of their affairs, occasioned by the war with England; produced a delay. Nevertheless to prevent a bar to your petitioners claim on the said Edward, an action at law was brought for the recovery of the same, in the year 1800, before the limitation act was in force. And to save expense to the said Edward, a consolidation of the respective demands was had, and the action instituted in the name of Margaret Rollins, who was in her own right but partially interested.
Your petitioners furthermore humbly represent, that the said Margaret, being aged and credulous, was in a moment of weakness, by the management and collusion of the said Edward, prevailed on without any consideration, to acquit the said action, whereby your petitioners, are inequitably deprived of property and rights. And furthermore, as heirs to the estate of the said Joseph Frost, deceased, they have an account against the said Edward Sargent, as executor in his own wrong, on the goods and estate of Joseph Sargent, late of New-Castle, Physician, deceased. The said Edward having disposed of the property of the said Joseph Sargent, deceased, and received the proceeds thereof, viz. a certain hundred acres of land in Deerfield, and that too a second time, viz. in the year 1768 to one Simon Marston, and since that time, namely in the year 1788, the one half of said land to Benjamin Butler. The proceeds of which land, he the said Edward Sargent, in the life time of the said Frost promised to pay the amount of said debt, and afterwards to the said heirs, whereby they have been prevented bringing their claims against the said land, &c. The said Edward therefore, being possessed of goods or assets, appertaining to the estate of the said Joseph Sargent deceased, which he unjustly withholds from the said heirs the only creditors. Whereby your petitioners, feeling full confidence, from the known justice of their claim, have presumed to address this honorable body, humbly praying that your honors would take this subject into your wise consideration, and set aside the previous proceedings and judgment, against the said Margaret Rollins, by which we have been precluded of our law and right, the not being the proper owner of the said money and effects, as before stated; and grant liberty to Joseph Frost, the legal administrator on the estate of the said Joseph deceased, and agent for the copartnership, to bring an action or actions, in his own name, for the several demands aforementioned, against him the said Edward Sargent, and so to point out means whereby your greatly aggrieved petitioners, shall obtain that due redress, for which they have been made, and still are made to suffer. And your petitioners as in duty bound shall ever pray, &c.
JOSEPH FROST, Administrator and Agent for the said co-partnership, in behalf of the petitioners. Hopkinton, June 11, 1807.
