Poetry. The following is from the pen of MOORE. It is not often we find him serious; when we do, we always find him exquisite.
SONG. WHEN Time, who steals our years away, Shall steal our pleasures too, The memory of the past will stay, And half our joys renew. Then, CHLOE, when thy beauty's flower Shall feel the wintry air, Remembrance will recall the hour When thou alone wert fair! Then talk no more of future gloom; Our joys shall always last; For hope shall brighten days to come, And memory gild the past! Come, CHLOE, fill the genial bowl, I'll drink to love and thee! Thou never can'st decay in soul, Thou'lt still be young for me. And as thy lips the tear-drop chase, Which on thy cheek they find, So hope shall steal away the trace, Which sorrow leaves behind! Then fill the bowl—away with gloom; Our joys shall always last! For hope shall brighten days to come, And memory gild the past! But mark, at thought of future years, When love shall lose its soul, My CHLOE drops her timid tears, They mingle with my bowl! How like this bowl of wine, my fair, Our loving life shall fleet; Though tears may sometimes mingle there, The draught will still be sweet! Then fill the bowl—away with gloom; Our joys shall always last! For hope will brighten days to come, And memory gild the past!
Moral. FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND AMERICAN. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS HINTS. No. XII. AN EXTRACT.
A WRITER has appeared, who was born for the age in which she lives. Her sphere of life has been large, and her means of observation various. These advantages of condition she has improved by talents, which were capable of any attainments; and by piety, which gave them an useful direction. With these qualifications she lectured her sex in language which united the devotion of the scripture with the amenity of the classics. What estim- ation she enjoys among her own sex, I know not; but she has certainly been treated with little courtesy by the other. Periodi- cal publications have vented against her the foulest abuse; and aspersed her rep- utation with every calumny that ignorance, jealousy, and malignity could suggest.— They have opened a monthly arena, and invited combatants of every description to assail a woman, whose faults are inci- dents of zeal, whose merits are the achieve- ments of virtue—a woman, who, in the extensive range which her writings have taken, has done more towards rectifying the publick opinion, and removing preju- dices against religion and good government than all the self-constituted anti-jacobins in the kingdom. The clamour against her has now subsided; and as the greater part of those who raised it have worn the mask, they will have no temptation to lay it aside. Already the name of MORE is connected with every valuable species of commenda- tion. The calumny of anonymous libellers, and the eulogy of a virtuous prelate, will equally transmit her to the affection of pos- terity, as the condescending enlightener of the poor, the accomplished instructress of her sex, and the indefatigable benefactress of mankind. New-York Missionary Magazine. FRIDAY, 20th OCTOBER, 1809.
Miscellaneous. From the Baltimore Federal Republican. JOHN ADAMS.
IT has lately become fashionable with the democratic party to quote the silly sayings of this old dotard, upon all occa- sions when the patriotism and purity of the federal party are disputed. It is ridicu- lously imagined that any thing, which an apostate, (who has just lived long enough to betray the blackness and malignity of his heart, and the weakness of his head) can say against the federal party will de- stroy its reputation. If Mr. Adams, is good testimony for the democratic party, he is equally good against them. Among all the trash and nonsense which he has committed to pa-
per, the thirteenth letter which was pub- lished in the Boston Patriot, contains truths, which the old man's admirers ought to blush while they read. It contains evi- dence of the existence of a democratic French faction, "who were almost as ripe to pull President Adams out of his house, as they were to dethrone Washington in the time of Genet!"
Read, ye democrats, what follows, and then cease to babble about President Adams. From Adams's XIIIth Letter. "My worthy fellow-citizens!—Our form of government, inestimable as it is, exposes us more than any other to the insidious in- trigues and pestilential influence of foreign nations. Nothing but our inflexible neu- trality can preserve us. The publick ne- gotiations and secret intrigues of the Eng- lish and the French have been employed for centuries in every country in Europe. Look back to the history of Spain, Holland, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, Italy and Turkey, for the last hun- dred years.—How many Emperors and Kings have fallen victims to the alternate triumphs of parties excited by English- men or Frenchmen? and can we expect to escape the vigilant attention of politicians so experienced, so keen and so rich? If we convince them that our attachment to neu- trality is unchangeable, they will let us alone; but as long as a hope exists in ei- ther power, of seducing us to engage in a war on his side and against his enemy, we shall be torn and convulsed by their mu- neuvres."
"Never was there a grosser mistake of publick opinion, than that of Mr. Hamil- ton. The great alteration in publick opin- ion had not then, nor has it yet, taken place. The French republick still exist- ed: The French people were still consid- ered as struggling for liberty amidst all their internal revolutions, their conflicts of parties, and their bloody wars against the coalitions of European powers. Monarchy, empire, had not been suggested. Bonaparte had appeared only as a soldier; had acted on the stage in no civil or political employment. A sense of gratitude, for services rendered us in our revolution, by far more sincere and ardent, than reason or justice could warrant, still remained on the minds not only of our republicans, but of great numbers of our soundest federal- ists. Did Mr. Hamilton recollect the state of our presses? Recollect the names and popular eloquence of the editors of the op- position papers? That scoffing, wit, and that caustic malignity of soul which ap- peared so remarkably in all the writings of Thomas Paine and Callender, which to the disgrace of human nature, never fails to command attention and applause? The members of the Senate and the House, who were decidedly against the adminis- tration, their continual intercourse and communications with French emissaries? The hideous clamour against the alien law, and sedition law, both considered as level- led against the French and their friends, and the surrender according to the British treaty, of the Irish murderer Nash, im- posed upon the publick for Jonathan Rob- bins? Did he recollect the insurrection in Pennsylvania? The universal and per- petual inflammatory publications against the land tax, stamp tax, coach tax, excise law and 8 per cent. loan? Did he never see nor hear of the circular letters of mem- bers of congress from the middle and southern states? Did he know nothing of the biting sarcasms, the burning rage, against himself and his own army? Did he know nothing of a kind of journal that was published of every irregular act of any officer or soldier, of every military punishment that was inflicted, under the appellation of the Canibal's progress? Did he see nothing of the French cockades ost- entatiously exhibited against the Ameri- can cockades?"
"Had a French minister been seen here with his suite, he would have been instantly informed of every source and symptom of discontent. Almost every Frenchman upon the continent, and they were then nu- merous in all the States, would have been employed in criminating the American government, in applauding the condescen- sion of the French directory, and the friendly, conciliating disposition of the French nation. Nothing could have been kept secret; the popular clamour for peace on any terms would have been very difficult, if not impossible to resist. The multitude in Philadelphia, as it was, were almost as ripe to pull me out of my house as they had been to dethrone Washington in the time of Genet. Even on the night of the last day, the streets were crowded with multitudinous assemblages of people, especially that before my door, and kept in order only, as many people thought, by

a military parcel, ordered, I believe by the Governor of Pennsylvania.
When the Chief Magistrate of the Union could only find protection from the violence of a democratic faction, in a military guard, there is little room to bestow praise upon a party which was led on by French emissaries, "ostentatiously exhibited by French cockades against American cockades," and sent across the Atlantic for the avowed purpose of introducing anarchy and confusion in these happy States."
Adams' Letter.
But if all this will not do to prove the existence of a faction in this country more devoted to France than to the U. States, let us read another extract from the letter of this newly converted Oracle of democracy. It will be found that the object of contention was not merely France and England, but the democratic party took side with France against their own government. So it appears by the following testimony of Mr. Adams.
"After enumerating all these symptoms of the popular bias, it would be frivolous to enlarge upon the conversations of which I was informed at taverns and insurance-offices, threatening violence to the president by pulling him out of his chair, upon the French cockades that were everywhere paraded before my eyes, in opposition to the black cockade, or upon the declarations and oaths, which I know were made by no small numbers, that if we went to war with France, and the French should come here they would join them against the Federalists and the English."
Thus it appears that not only declarations, but oaths were made by no small numbers, that "if we went to war with France, and the French should come here they would join them against the Federalists and the English." The oaths of two respectable witnesses proved that General Smith was among the number who threatened "to join the French as friends if they landed here as enemies." The General finds it material to his popularity now to deny it, but it is notorious that he was one of those violent Jacobins, who was at all times ready to assist in "dethroning President Washington," to tear down the American cockade, and substitute the French cockade, and to join the French if they invaded the country. Yes, General Smith, now a candidate for a seat in the Senate, was and still is of that party which laboured to introduce anarchy and confusion, which convulsed and distracted the government, and has ever since proved himself the faithful friend and advocate of the French government.

GEORGETOWN, (Col.) October 12. THE LATE ELECTIONS.
THE elections in the states of Maryland and Vermont, have terminated in favour of his Imperial Majesty. The Emperor's maxim of divide and destroy is working wonders in this our country. And were it not for one thing we should soon expect to be united in bonds of concord with the slaves of the Emperor and King;—according to the emblems exhibited at Paris on the 4th of July last. But we have the consolation to know that our present President is not a Frenchman; he neither loves nor fears the Corsican tyrant; and though the people may run wild towards the precipice of destruction, we hope there is wisdom and energy enough in the Executive to prevent them from taking the fatal leap. The moment we agree to chain ourselves to the car of the mighty conqueror our liberties are at an end, and the sun of our prosperity will set.
PHILADELPHIA, October 12.
Translated for the Freeman's Journal.
His Excellency and Most Illustrious Vice-roy and Archbishop of the kingdom of Mexico, Don FRANCISCO LE ZANA DE BEAUMONT, has ordered the following proclamation to be published the 26th of July, 1809.
Inhabitants of New Spain!
I have been promoted, without having wished for it, to the supreme government of these vast and precious dominions, by the Providence of God and by the grace of Ferdinand VII. our King, represented by the Supreme Central Junta now governing Spain and the Indies. I feel myself now united to you by bonds more sacred and inseparable, at least more publick and universal than those which united me before as your metropolitan archbishop.
My sons and my flock, belonging to my venerable suffragans!
Till now your eternal happiness has been the principal object of my love, my prayers, and my tears. Henceforward, your temporal felicity will engross my particular attention, and will be the object of my thoughts and my cares. You were before, all my Sons in JESUS CHRIST: I shall now also be your father in the name of the King. Yes, this name, among the many which corresponds with the dignity and office of Viceroy, is the one which I will adopt among you all, while I manage the reins of government which I have taken in my trembling hands. I say trembling hands: because, having in meekness and humility, borne the Shepherd's pastoral crook, it would be intolerable presumption
to me to grasp the sword of Viceroyalty with too much arrogance and confidence. Nevertheless, I have accepted it as a good Bishop and a good Spaniard, in obedience to the Supreme Authority which has commanded it. I have obeyed; not only for the purpose of giving you all an example of docility and obedience, but also to show that I have not degenerated, by a scandalous resistance, from your native character, which is docile and obedient.
Inhabitants of Spanish America!
A follower of the Apostles and a Viceroy of the Spanish monarch, does not know, nor ought to know, any sort of adulation. I am a witness of your heroic fidelity, and will be the praiser of your truly patriotic Spanish virtues. And if with the enormous weight with which my weak shoulders are loaded, my soul is not dismayed, it is because I confide in the succours of Heaven so abundantly showered on the Spanish nation, and which I hope to obtain by your religious deportment. I rely also, on the advice of those respectable ministers of the King, of whose knowledge, integrity and zeal, I have the most indubitable testimony: together with the prudent counsel of my dear and venerable brothers, the suffragans of this metropolis; and on the prayers of all the regular and secular clergy of this kingdom. I rely, likewise, on the honour and experience of the military chiefs, and on the valour and loyalty of the numerous and brilliant army of this kingdom of New Spain; as well as in the zeal, integrity and experience of the directors and officers of the royal treasury, in all their vast and important branches. I entirely confide in the docility, obedience and peaceableness of you all, beloved sons and subjects of Ferdinand VII. Did I not thus confide in you, what else could be expected from me, a weak man, infirm, and borne down with the weight of the mitre, than an immediate and determined renunciation of the reins of government. But I will not do it, while my King and my country demand my few services. To them I willingly sacrifice my repose, and even if it was demanded, my life.
Spanish Americans!
Justice, mercy and peace, will be my companions, that by them you may enjoy all happiness. Endeavour to cultivate the arts and sciences in your houses and in your provinces, and carefully attend to whatever will promote the interests of agriculture and the commerce of the mines. And if, through rashness, the barbarous and impious Frenchmen should dare to invade our country, I will immediately grasp the sword, I will put myself at the head of your soldiers, I will defend your houses and possessions, and I will drive away the cruel and perfidious enemies that would presume to disturb your repose, in the same manner as the archbishops of Toledo, Rodriguez, Mendozas and Cisneros, have done before, and as has been done latterly by the venerable bishop of St. Andero.
Inhabitants of this Kingdom!
The glory of God and of his holy religion, the interests of Ferdinand VII. and the nation, and your individual happiness and tranquillity, will be the sole objects of my attention, and the only ends to which my decrees will be directed. Be not afraid that intrigue or influence will have any share in my government. I have most willingly delivered up, for the urgencies of the crown, all I possessed over and above my Episcopal income. I will likewise, with pleasure, do the same with the salary appertaining to me as Viceroy. Yes, generous patriots, our common mother is in want of our succours to finish, with glory, the great work she has in hand; and thanks to Heaven, it has much advanced, and she hopes to attain it by our love and gratitude. Continue then, your donations in abundance, remain united in the sweet bonds of union and peace, and assist your mother Spain to wipe away before the face of the world and for all ages, that black and horrible calumny —which the intruder and false king Joseph published last March in Madrid to deceive all the provinces of Spain and all Europe—that this kingdom was burning with intestine divisions . On WICKED! Know that the Spanish blood never degenerates by having crossed the Atlantic ocean, nor does it lose its spirit and energy in America. Here are worthy sons and grandsons of the Conquerors of Baylen, and of the Heroes of Saragossa, Valencia, Catalonia, Asturias, Galicia and Estremadura, and of all the provinces of Spain. We have in America, brothers and descendants of those who there confounded you with their arms, with their loyalty, and even with their last breath. Tremble now at the name of the Spanish Americans, who, if they have not an opportunity of carrying on the war against you sword in hand, do it with their FIDELITY and their MONEY , which they have sent in abundance to their brothers for your destruction.
Inhabitants of this Kingdom!
I have given to you the thoughts and the ideas with which the Archbishop of Mexico commences his government as Viceroy. But I cannot depart from the character of being the successor of the disciples of JESUS CHRIST, who is the Supreme King of Kings, and I therefore salute you with the last words which they heard from the blessed mouth of their Divine
Master:—"Peace be with you, I am he, be not afraid."
THE ARCHBISHOP, VICEROY.

NEW-ORLEANS.
Extract of a letter of a recent date from New-Orleans, to the Editors of the Freeman's Journal.
"I sit down to comply with my promise, of giving you a few anecdotes of some of our great men. Our Governor, or as he styles himself, "the Common Father of the Louisianians," claims the first attention. This singular honest and intelligent officer, continues to watch, with a vigilant eye, the interests of this country. In consequence of the disturbances in the island of Cuba, the French inhabitants have been compelled to leave the island. Those who resided in St. Jago, have principally come to this place—they are composed of a varied description of character, about equally divided between whites, mulattoes, and negroes. The whites have among them about a dozen respectable families; the remainder are privateersmen generally, with mulatto mistresses. Many pirates have been recognized amongst them, but I presume they are out of the reach of the law, for will is law in this country, and our common father is too much of a friend to the French—better is it for the honest American to suffer. The mulattoes are the refuse of St. Domingo. The unfortunate refugees from that ill-fated island, now recognize in our streets the blood-thirsty miscreants whose hands are yet red with the blood of their families. The negroes are such as you generally find in the West-Indies. This motley collection has reached New-Orleans, and our common father has permitted them all to land, regardless of the laws of the United States, prohibiting the importation of slaves, and the statute law of this territory, forbidding the landing of free negroes or people of colour. Some of these people have friends, some have not. Most of them pay constant devotion to the gaming-tables, and as soon as their little substance is gone, the poor inhabitants will feel the consequence of this wise measure of our common father .
"Do you doubt that C. is a friend to this country? Take this anecdote:—He got the American system of jurisprudence abolished, to establish on its ruins, the most odious features of the old Spanish system. In his appointment of judges to his new courts, he generally selected the most profligate characters. Among others was a P. D. who had been engaged in the massacre of the white inhabitants of St. Domingo. C. knew this man's character before he gave him the appointment—he further procured him a license to practice law in the superior court—a few days ago, Mr. Derbigny read in the superior court an affidavit stating his character, and the crimes he had perpetrated, and moved that he be removed, on the second Monday of July, why his name should not be erased from the list of attorneys. The rule was granted. This case promises matter, not for speculation, but curious inquiry. It will become the duty of congress to examine into the conduct of our common father , and see if he has been our faithful guardian.
"A prosecution has been recently commenced by Thierry, editor of the Courier de Louisiane , against Bradford and Anderson, editors of the Orleans Gazette , for an alleged libel. I do not wish to forestall the publick opinion, or I would give you a history of the origin of this prosecution. It will however serve to elucidate many parts of C's ministry. A correct report of the trial will be published.
"General Wilkinson makes but a poor figure here, he is daily sinking in publick estimation, and will, before another year rolls around, be as contemptible as ever was Burr or Arnold. To use his own expression, General Adair "has put him out of the ranks of honour." All the officers of merit are resigning, and indeed they think themselves disgraced by being under his command. You will find sufficient notice of him in the prints of the day.
"I regret to say that, there is a faction here devoted to the views of the French government. At the head of this faction is a member of the General Assembly. He came here with the French prefect, and has never been naturalized. You cannot have forgotten his publication in 1804, claiming protection of the French government, in consequence of a seizure made at the custom-house. The introduction of the St. Jago cut-throats—the growing weight of the French faction—the incapacity of our common father —all these circumstances combine to render it indispensable that our military establishment should be considerable, and the commander in chief, "not only chaste, but unsuspicious."
NEW-YORK, October 16.
On the 12th inst. two men were apprehended at Trenton, on their way to Philadelphia, on suspicion of passing counterfeit bank notes, and on them were found about 900 dollars, counterfeits of the bank of Trenton.
A letter received in Philadelphia, from a gentleman in Washington, who moves in
the cabinet circle, says, "It is believed General Wilkinson is recalled from his command of the army, not to resume it again."

Extract of a letter from an eminent merchant in Rotterdam, to a gentleman in this town.
"JUNE, 30, 1809.
"We are sorry to advise you, that neither we, nor any country on the continent under the control of the great Emperor, are allowed to admit your vessels with colonial products. Some that have arrived may be glad to return; for if they are sequestered till a general peace , they fall in the peace prices, which it is expected will be desperate; or, if war breaks out between France and America, as expected, they may be confiscated."
BOSTON, October 18.
FROM SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
We have accounts as late as the 8th ult. It is stated by them, that the great armies which had been in contact on the borders of Castile and Estremadura, after consuming and destroying every kind of food for man and beast, had been compelled to separate, and retire to points where subsistence could be obtained:—That the French had fallen back on Madrid, where supplies were received across the Pyrenees, from France; the English on Portugal; and the Spaniards on the Guadiana; and that no battles since those which have been reported, had been fought. The last advices from Lisbon, (the nearest maritime place to the late scene of war,) do not intimate any preparations on the part of the English, to embark their troops, nor any apprehensions, on the part of the Portuguese, for the issue of the patriot cause.—The Patriots were in excellent spirits; and provisions were very plenty and cheap, in Cadiz and Lisbon; and nothing was wanting to supply the armies, but energy in the administration of their affairs.
Letters from Spain state, that in all the provinces they have overrun, the French destroy every species of animal and vegetable food, which they cannot consume:—That on quitting a country, after robbing the houses and cottages, they set fire to the wheat-fields, olive-groves and vines; and that all those beautiful flocks of sheep—once the boast and wealth of Spain, though they afford but indifferent meat, have been nearly all killed by the French, or sent out of the kingdom: That the distresses of the peasantry in Spain, are almost beyond description: That a great scarcity of specie was experienced in Madrid; and that some of the best informed Frenchmen in Spain were of opinion, that unless Napoleon has a prospect of recovering the Spanish colonies, he will evacuate the Peninsula as a bad bargain, and give his brother Joseph some other kingdom. The American Charge des Affaires, near the Supreme Governing Junta, is said to be a warm advocate of the patriot cause; and to have confidence in its ultimate success.
The late accounts from Cadiz, (to September 6,) confirm the report of the resignation of General Cuesta; and that, on the recommendation of the English Ambassador, (Marquis Wellesley,) the Junta had agreed to the formation of a Regency, which it was expected would be more efficient than the Junta. The Bishop of Toledo, was mentioned as the expected Regent.
The Clergy of Spain continue the most faithful and zealous supporters of the patriot cause. It appears too they are held in high estimation. The Bishop of Toledo is to be Regent of the kingdom; and the new Viceroy of Mexico, Don Francisco de Zana de Beaumont, is Priest. The conduct of Napoleon to the Pope, has, if possible, sharpened their hatred of him.
We have seen several letters from Lisbon, to the last of August. One of them announces the very satisfactory information, that in consequence of representations on the subject to the Regency, the exorbitant duty of 30 per cent. on imports had been revoked, and the former regulation of 3 per cent. re-established.
EXTRACTS.
"Lisbon, July 29.
"The demand for flour, wheat, rice, &c. is very considerable, for supplying the provinces through which the armies pass, as the home harvest has been very unproductive."
"August 23.
"Great hopes are entertained of succeeding in keeping the French forces in Spain, from repossessing this country. The accounts received these days are of a very flattering nature; and it is sincerely wished the next intelligence from Germany, may be equally satisfactory."
EXPEDITION TO THE SCHELDT.
Extract of a letter from an Officer at Flushing, dated August 23.
"The rumours afloat here are so various and contradictory as to induce a person to doubt the most probable statement, though proceeding from the best authority.—Whether the main object of the Expedition, viz. the seizure of the enemy's fleet, will be attempted or not, depends, as we
here understand, upon the expected decision of the Cabinet. The transports and ships of war have, however, proceeded up the west Scheldt, in order to be ready to disembark the troops quickly, if such operations are decided upon. In this garrison from which I now write, alarm has already given rise to some precautions. Last night the pickets and sentries were doubled, and orders given to the sentinels to direct a vigilant attention to the ships of war off in the Roadstead, and that if blue rockets were discharged from any of them, a communication was to be immediately made to the Commanding Officer, General Picton. The motive for issuing those orders was the apprehension of an attack from the enemy, who, to the number of 13,000 men, are positively said to be in Cadiz, under the command of Bernadotte, for the avowed object of recovering this Island. Within these few days three hundred gun-boats have reached that place from Boulogne, through the canals, and I assure you, it is the decided conviction of some of the most intelligent inhabitants that the attempt, even with all the probability of failure, will certainly be made. At all events, the brigade stationed here, consisting of the 36th, the 63d, and 77th regiments, with the Honourable Colonel Cochrane's battalion of embodied detachments, are kept upon the alert, which, together with the positions taken by our ships of war afford us the most confident hopes that the enemy may repent their temerity, notwithstanding the opportunity which the damaged condition of the batteries of this fortress may, at this moment, present to them. At various times in the course of the morning, we have heard a strong cannonade in the direction of Fort Lillo—it is supposed to proceed from the enemy's batteries up the river upon our gun-boats, stationed off its banks. The principal part of Sir John Hope's army still continues in most comfortable quarters in South Beveland.—There is prevalent here a rumour, that the works of Middleburgh are to be immediately put in a state of defence, and that 100 additional guns are to be placed on the ramparts of Flushing. Such an intention indicates the determination of making Walcheren a depot, from which British manufactures may always find their way to the continent. Indeed I this day in inspecting the stores in the arsenal, witnessed the illustration of what the persevering spirit of trade will effect, and of the difficulties which in its operation it will certainly surmount. There are now lying on the quay of Flushing, 100 pieces of ordnance of Carron manufacture, with the proper marks of that foundry upon them, so lately manufactured as the year 1808.—Here is an evident proof that the ingenuity of gain laughs at the intricacy of British Orders of Council, and at all the efforts of French interdicts.
"Within this hour we have received the agreeable intelligence, that French property to a considerable amount has been discovered at Middleburgh, by the activity of the Commissioners; specie to a large amount has been found, and nearly 200 tons of saltpetre. The stores here are very rich, the arsenal being now filled with the most material naval stores. I cannot conclude this letter without stating that the enemy bore ample testimony to the unparalled ability with which our artillery was conducted during the bombardment."

Louis Bonaparte's head-quarters are at Bergen-op Zoom.
The Danish Decree recalling their privateers, and confining them to port, has been published. It permits cruisers near Heligoland—says nothing of the liberation of detained Americans—nor of the inducements for the Decree—passes no censure on the privateers. Whether this Decree is issued from respect to neutrals, or to secure the seamen for other service, admits of doubt.
A French Decree has been revived which subjects to seizure all vessels which enter the rivers Eble, Weser, and Jade with colonial produce on board. Like all other French Decrees it is calculated to operate immediately—although many vessels may enter ignorant of its existence.—Hamburg is on the Elbe, Bremen on the Weser.
From a London paper of August 29.
The schooner John, arrived at Plymouth, from Oporto, which place she left on the 12th inst. bringing intelligence that the Friends transport arrived there from England a few days previous to her sailing with about 5000 stand of arms on board, and another transport laden with shoes for the use of the Portuguese army; the whole of which, together with the arms were landed the day they arrived; and the next day 5000 Portuguese troops marched from Oporto for Vigo, who were chiefly commanded by British officers. Several detachments of Portuguese regiments, amounting together to about 8000 men, were left to garrison Oporto, the greater part of which were not armed. Immediately on intelligence being received at Oporto, of the victory obtained by our troops at Talavera, a general illumination took place for three nights. About 1100 Portuguese troops who left Oporto to join the British army, a few

days before the action took place, fell in with a division of the French army, who massacred the whole of them.
Providence,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1809.
IT is not at this day necessary for the EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN to make a formal avowal of their principles, or to urge the motives that have guided them in the discharge of their duties. By advertising to the professions with which they commenced this establishment the publick may be assured of the former, and by comparing those professions with their actual performances, the latter cannot be mistaken; it is sufficient to declare that they will not hereafter swerve from that line of conduct with which they began, and which a year's experience has by no means practically discredited. Their Patrons know the difficulties they have had to encounter; it cannot but be known that they have toiled and struggled against the galling opposition of narrow circumstances, as well as peculiar local embarrassments—they have not only had to strive against the disadvantages always attending a novel and consequently precarious undertaking, but many adverse occurrences have sprung up in their progress, which as they were not anticipated, could not have been provided against. Many and various unforeseen sources of expence have been discovered, of such a nature as to have eluded previous conjecture or calculation; they have not only been opposed by sectarian enemies, for whom they were prepared, and whose enmity reflected credit more than equivalent to its inconvenience, but opponents have shown themselves whose motives of animosity were not accountable on the basis of political diversity, and they have been driven to the mortifying necessity of ascribing this last inimical spirit to impulses more despicable than any that candour could attribute to the common enemy.—But these accumulated difficulties are in a great measure surmounted, at least they have remedies for them, (which they think effectual,) at hand whose application so far as depends on them has not, and shall not be delayed; and for that portion of them which requires the fostering assistance of their respected Patrons, they are not in the least apprehensive. They will oppose determined perseverance to all their editorial labours, and to all extrinsic opposition of every nature whatsoever, they will as usual oppose the most sovereign contempt. One word only as to the remaining embarrassment. When it is considered that THE AMERICAN is far more expensive, and demands more intense labour and personal application of its Editors, than any other semi-weekly paper in New-England, or perhaps in the Union—and that for the year past its price has been one quarter less than any other, when these facts are reflected on, they are confident of receiving not merely the acquiescence, but the ready and cheerful concurrence of all their Patrons, in an enhancement of their terms to Three Dollars and an Half for the year commencing with this number. It will be perceived the title of this paper has received a trifling addition; the object of which is to have a more marked discrimination between this and other establishments in different parts of the United States, bearing the same, or nearly the same title.
By the arrival of the "Boston Importing Company's" ship Packet, Captain Field, at Boston, London papers have been received as late as September 5, and Liverpool to the 6th. The further objects of the Grand Expedition up the Scheldt are abandoned. The Dutch and French had collected so large a force to oppose them that it was deemed impracticable to take or destroy the French fleet. Despatches from the Earl of Chatham and Sir Richard Strachan on this subject were received, and the troops, with the exception of 15,000, who are left to garrison the Island of Walcheren, had returned, or would return immediately.
Peace between France and Austria, though not known officially in London, was expected to have been concluded before that date. The Emperor Francis is to be styled King of Hungary and Bohemia. Bonaparte will add to his titles that of Archduke of Austria. The last accounts from Spain left the English head-quarters at Deleytosa, to which place they had retired after the battle of Talavera.—25,000 men, it is said, will be immediately employed on a fresh expedition.
By the politeness of Captain William Russell, of the ship Mary-Ann, of this port, (at Liverpool,) who forwarded us the London Courier of September 2, we are enabled to lay before our readers the following articles of foreign intelligence:
WARSAW, AUGUST 14. The French eagles are not yet set up in Lemberg, as the Russians in all the towns of which they take possession, though they may have been previously occupied by the Poles, maintain the Austrian eagles. Around the town of Lemberg however, the
Polish General Kattriensi has established the French eagles.
PARIS, AUGUST 16. The English colonel, Markkall, attempted on the 6th of July, to convey a reinforcement of 1400 troops of different descriptions into Gerona. He was however surrounded by General Pino, and the corps was taken.
TRIESTE, AUGUST 3. Early this morning an English fleet of 10 ships of war appeared off this port.—Among them is a three-decker, of 120 guns, on board of which is Admiral Collingwood. It is not yet known what the English intend with respect to Trieste. Our batteries are, however, in a respectable state of defence.
The day before yesterday, an English frigate and a cutter came in sight of our harbour, and captured 32 ships and a bark, destined here. They were under the convoy of six small gun-boats who maintained an obstinate action of an hour's duration. There were several killed and wounded on both sides.
VIENNA, AUGUST 6. Among other points which are to serve as the basis of treaties which are now negotiating, one is, that the Emperor Francis shall cede the kingdom of Bohemia to his eldest brother the Duke of Wurtemberg.
The intelligence that the Archduke Charles has resigned the command of the army, has made a great impression on the publick: he possessed the love and confidence of the soldiers in a very high degree. It is understood that the armistice has been prolonged for 28 days.
AUGUST 9. It is generally believed here that the conferences for peace will begin to-day or to-morrow at Altenbourg.
M. M. Champagny and Marshal Duroc are named Plenipotentiaries, for France, and Count Metternich and Count St. Vincent for Austria.
The movements of troops, and the preparations for the continuance of war had ceased since the armistice: but since the 1st we remark more activity than ever in the warlike preparations. A part of the glacier has been palisaded, and redoubts built near the Burghor gate.
ROTTERDAM, AUGUST 18. The Prince of Ponte Corvo has arrived at Antwerp, accompanied by the Minister Dejean, and at the same time a reinforcement of 6,000 men for the French army. That place (Antwerp) and the fleet, is perfectly secure against any attempt of the enemy.
AUGUST 22. The Minister of war, Count Von Nauenbourg, states, that the department of the North had sent thousands of grenadiers and jagers, and a company of volunteer artillery, who had formerly much distinguished themselves at Rypel, to the Scheldt; that all the other departments were following their example, particularly those of the Pas de Calais.—Rotterdam Gazette, August 22.
ANTWERP, AUGUST 16. This day and yesterday we have heard no firing on Flushing, and we see a great number of English vessels of large size at anchor in the Scheldt. This day arrived here from the interior of France a reinforcement of 6,000 men. Every house in this town has soldiers quartered in it. Rotterdam Courant, August 19.
The General of division Verdier, commanding the troops employed in the siege of Gerona, in a despatch under date of August 12th, to the minister of war, Count De Habsburg, says, "the fortress of Montserrat fell into our hands at six this evening. This important conquest gives us almost complete assurance that eight or nine days more will suffice in order to subdue the remaining part of the town. Within a short time Gerona shall be subdued. This fort, formerly one of the strongest and best situated forts in Europe, is now nothing but a heap of ruins."
A NEW KING! "The Prince of Neufchatel, (Alexander Berthier,) is said to be appointed by Bonaparte King of Switzerland." Americans, what think you? Had Bonaparte the power, would he not appoint some one of his Generals King of America?
It appears from a communication of Dr. De Witt to the Society for the promotion of useful arts in the State of New-York, that there are in that State, 67 Turnpike Companies, the capital stock of which amounts to $ 5,141,750, and the length of all the Turnpike roads united, are 3071 miles. There are also 21 Bridge Companies, whose capital stock amounts to the sum of $ 413,000, making in the whole 88 Companies, with a total amount of capital stock of $ 5,556,750.
On Thursday last the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut met at New-Haven. The House of Representatives made choice of Lyman Law, Esq. Speaker, and William T. Williams and Noah B. Benedict, Esqs. Clerks.
In one of the recent numbers of the National Intelligencer, we notice a letter under the all resplendent signature of Jo. Barlow , addressed to the Abbe Gregorie .
The said Barlow had formerly written a Poem called the vision of Columbus, which for some thing he has since furnished up under the title of the Columbiad. The Abbe Gregorie conceives this Poem, thus newly manufactured, to contain principles bordering on infidelity and has answered him accordingly. With the merits of this Poem we are as yet unacquainted; but if any judgement of the whole can be formed from those parts submitted to the publick, it merits every thing but applause. Mr. Barlow, however, in his letter aforesaid, attempts to enlist the different political parties, which at present distract this country, into the service of his Poem. He informs the Abbe that a party favourable to monarchy in this country have given the strongest evidence of their attachment to that system by having the temerity to criticise his works. Although we could produce authentick evidence from the writings of the same Barlow, that none could formerly speak of monarchs when living, in more rapturous strains of applause than he did, and although we are able to prove that this same man after the death of the monarch he formerly eulogized, spit upon his ashes, yet we disdain so mean a defence. We disdain to cite the example of Joel Barlow either in support of, or in opposition to his own avowed principles. It is barely sufficient now to remark, that his assertion above quoted is false, to which we produce the best of all evidence, his own declaration of its truth.

Married,
In this town, last evening, Mr. HENRY MAXCY, of Attleborough, to Miss ELIZA FRENCH, of Rehoboth. At Warwick, on Sunday evening last, by the Rev. Thomas Manchester, Mr. NICHOLAS BRANCH, of North-Providence, to Miss SALLY MILLARD, of the former place.
Died,
On the 17th inst. in the 52d year of his age, Capt. SAMUEL WHIPPLE, of this town. For the four preceding years he laboured under a cancerous affection, which finally terminated his existence. Probably none of those evils "that flesh is heir to," tries the fortitude and patience of the sufferer so severely, as the horrible malady of which the present subject of our obituary was the victim. Life recedes by a slow, lingering, painful, but inevitable progress, and the green turf is the only consolation anticipated by the patient. This ordeal, dreadful as it was, served only to augment the splendour of fortitude by which the character was surrounded; a fortitude so uncommon, that his relations and friends in their contemplation of it, almost forgot the sufferings he endured. With all the sensibilities of a parent and an husband, he still had the triumphant resolution to make his heart the sole receptacle of its own anguish. In our revolutionary war, Mud-Fort and Red-Bank were witnesses of that courage and intrepidity of which his deathbed has been so recent a testimonial. A few hours before he resigned his spirit into the hands of his Maker, he exclaimed while under the pressure of almost intolerable anguish, "I am going to glory," and we trust that his dying words are prophetic. His character was a combination of those qualities that retreat from publick observance, to gild with a lovelier radiance the walks of private and domestick life. Contented with the silent approbation of his own heart, he acted on that motive, and scorned to barter that blessing for the trifling and tinsel applause of the world. From an attentive perusal of holy writ, and a dispassionate inquiry, he formed his religious habits and belief, and with unshaken constancy preserved them to the last. Such are the splendid features of a character, which when alive, sought privacy and shade, and which for that very cause we deem it a duty after their departure to record. His remains were yesterday deposited in the grave attended by a numerous concourse of relatives and friends, after an appropriate address to the throne of Divine Grace by the Rev. Mr. MESSER.

New-York, October 17. Arrived the ship Sally, Scott, of Boston, 76 days from St. Petersburg, and 43 from Wide Wall (Orkneys).—Captain Andrews has favoured us with the following marine memorandum:—August 1, left at Cronstadt, ships Gosport, Dirkham, and Leopold, Clarke, nearly ready to load for New-York; ship Hope, Lovett, beginning to discharge, and bound to Beverly; ship Juno, Bates, of Boston; Roba and Betsey, Boulay, of Norfolk, and brig Jane, Bourne, of Boston, destination uncertain; ship Isabella, Green, from Gottemburgh, had been near the guard-ship 4 miles below Cronstadt, 19 days; admittance uncertain. During the voyage fell in with many British ships of war, was treated with politeness and attention, particularly by Vice-Admiral Sir James Saumarez, the captain and officers of the Victory and Melpomene, Captain Smith of the Diligence, the officers of the Rover and Shell Drake, acted as if obliged to protect me, pointing out in the most circumstantial manner, where danger lay, and how to shun Danish or Norwegian pirates. August 24, left Gottemburgh. The ship Jane, Colley, arrived there about the 20th, who 2 days before had been boarded near Wingo by 14 armed men, who pretended to be Swedish fishermen, but proved to be Danish pirates, took possession of the ship and steered over to the Danish Island Lesson, where they were preparing to anchor, near 2 privateers, and a battery; every man having calculated the amount of his prize money, when Captain C. and about a dozen of his brave fellows, agreed to retransfer the property to right owners, by attacking and beating the armed Danes, which they soon accomplished. Captain C. had three of them upon him. He quickly disarmed one and made good use of the weapon against him and his companions.—Captain C. and several of his men were cut in many places, but none of their wounds dangerous; two of the Danes were missing, but none killed. On the Jane's arrival at Gottemburgh, every Surgeon from the British ships of war went on board to assist the wounded. I saw Captain C. the evening before I sailed, who was able to walk about and his men were recovering. August 27, Naze of Norway N. N.
