Political Miscellany.
FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT
MR. ADAMS'
CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED
To the Printers of the Boston Patriot, SIRS.
IN page 28, Mr. HAMILTON acknowledges that "the President had pledged himself in his speech, (he should have said in his message) to send a minister, if satisfactory assurances of a proper reception were given." Notwithstanding this, Mr. Hamilton, and all his confidential friends, excited their utmost art and most strenuous endeavours to prevail on the President to violate this pledge.
This was a point of honor indeed: not such a stupid, fantastical point of honor as that which Mr. Hamilton maintains with so much fanaticism, and so much folly: but a point of honor in which my moral character was involved as well as the public faith of the nation.
It was such a point of honor as a Machiavilian or a Jesuit might have made a pretext for a war. It was such a point of honor, as a Roman senate, in the most corrupt days of that republic, might have made a pretext for involving the nation in a foreign war, when Patrician monopolies of land and Patrician usury at twelve per cent a month, had excited the Plebian debtors to the crisis of a civil war.
Surely those who have lately censured Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison, for insisting on knowing the satisfaction which was to be given for the outrage on the Chesapeake before they revoked a certain proclamation, can never blame me for not insisting on a point that was no point of honor at all.
In page 28, Mr. Hamilton says "Hamilton" says "When the President pledged himself in his speech (he should have said his message) to send a Minister, if satisfactory assurances of a proper reception were given, he must have been understood to mean such as were direct and official, not such as were both informal and destitute of a competent sanction."
The words "direct and indirect," "official and unofficial," "formal and informal," "competent sanction," &c. appear to have seized this gentleman's mind, and to have rolled and tumbled in it, till they had produced an entire confusion of his understanding.
He here supposes that I did not understand my own message, and patriotically undertakes to expound it both for me and the public. According to his metaphysics, I meant, by assurances of a proper reception, assurances direct and official, not such as were informal. Let me ask, what more formal or official assurances could have been given than Talleyrand's letters? What more formal, official, or direct, than Mr. Gerry's letters? If I understood Mr. Hamilton, he must have meant to say that my message demanded an ambassador to be sent directly from the directory to me, for the express purpose of
assuring me that they would receive a minister plenipotentiary from me. This, instead of being my meaning was directly the reverse of it. From first to last I had refused to be taken in this trap. I had always refused to demand that a minister should be sent here first, though I had declared explicitly enough in my speech, that a French minister, if sent, should be received.
I am somewhat disappointed in not finding in this pamphlet the word "obscure" applied to Mr. Pichon, because the newspapers in Boston, New-York and Philadelphia, written by Mr. Hamilton's coadjutors and fellow-labourers in the same field of scandal, had profusely scattered their dull sarcasms on the obscurity of the agent or agents at the Hague. Mr. Pichon obscure? A secretary of legation and charge des affaires obscure! Especially in the absence of his ambassador? The office of secretary of legation is an object of ambition and desire to many of the first scientific and literary characters in Europe.
Such reflections as these which were thrown upon Mr. Pichon might impose upon a people who knew no better than the writers, but must have been despised by every man who knew any thing of the world.
Had Talleyrand sent his letters to general Washington to be communicated to me, had he sent them directly to my secretary of state, had he sent them to the Spanish minister to be by him communicated to the secretary of state, or to the Dutch minister for the same purpose, I do not say that I would have nominated a minister in consequence of them; nor will I say that I would not.
JOHN ADAMS.
Quincy, June 6, 1809.
A late publication makes the number of inhabitants on this globe to be 896 millions. Of these 226 millions are christians, that is, people generally denominated christians. 10 millions of Jews, 210 millions of Mahometans, and 460 millions of Pagans. Of those professing the christian religion, there are 50 millions of Protestants, 30 millions of the Greek and Armenian churches, and 90 millions of Catholics. If we calculate with the ancients, that a generation lasts 30 years, in that space 896,000,000 will be born and die; consequently, 81,760 must be dropping into eternity every day; 3407 every hour, or about 36 every minute.

To the Citizens of New Hampshire.
The Oracle writer asserts that judge Evans "has ever been an enthusiastic democrat." The first import of the term democrat, is one who maintains the doctrine of democracy—that is, a government by the people themselves, not by their representatives. In this sense of the word, it is not true that the judge is a democrat. Pure democracy never found in him an advocate, or in any other well informed man in the United States. In a country like ours, so vast in its extent and whose population is so numerous, it is absolutely impracticable, for the mass of the people to assemble, make and execute laws themselves. Our form of government is strictly republican—the sovereignty is in the people, and their will is expressed by laws made and executed by their representatives. Senators and other officers, who derive all their authority from the people and their laws. But certain doctrines spirits, who have not the hardihood to avow their hostility to this government, and who are afraid openly to advocate their principles either of aristocracy or monarchy, make their covert and insidious attacks by applying reproachful epithets to the friends and supporters of the government to render them contemptible with the people. These men well know, that if they can destroy the character, reputation and influence of the principal supporters of the government, the system, with its friends, will fall together. The term democrat , as applied to judge Evans, was therefore intended by that writer, either as a term of reproach , or as synonymous with that of republican . If the former, that writer justly merits, and ought to inherit, that contempt which he seeks to inflict on a better man. But if the latter, and so it is used in some of the States, can any man believe that because Mr. Evans has ever been a firm undeviating republican, that he is therefore disqualified to administer republican laws in a republic? But he was "enthusiastic." This is another reproachful term . That Mr. Evans has been a zealous republican is true—and I hope that you will ever find him zealously affected in a good cause .
The Oracle man says, "It is need less to prove" Mr. Evans "unfit to be a judge, because no one denies it.—There is not a man of the democrat ic party of the least character that ap proves of the appointment. All re gret it and are ashamed of it." What were the means of this writer's information? Did he, in the few days that elapsed between the appointment and his publication, traverse the State for knowledge? Does he possess the confidence of the republican party whom he abuses? Have the republicans assembled and expressed their disapprobation of the appointment? Has one republican newspaper published a sentence, from even a solitary republican, declaring they were ashamed of the appointment? No such thing; and yet with unblushing confidence that writer asserts, that not only all republicans regret the appointment, but that all are ashamed of it. The brazen mouth of slander itself, with its hundred tongues, never uttered a more palpable falsehood. To believe, that a governor and council strictly republican, should appoint a distinguished character, who has ever been a republican, to office, and that no republican of the least character should approve of it, but all of them regret, and even be ashamed of it, requires greater authority than an oracle, or even the priest who ministers at that oracle. Governor Smith, and he is not altogether a stranger to the oracle, says, "no act of a rival party can be right, nor any act of his own less wrong—it is easy to please a part of the community, and impossible to satisfy the other part." The fact is, it was impossible for governor Langdon to have satisfied those federalists who were predetermined to condemn his measures. But, as to the republicans, they do not regret Mr. Evans's appointment; but universally approve of it. They consider him as a man of talents, information and integrity—that he will administer impartial justice, and pronounce, not make, the law. They are not, I presume, insensible, that the circumstances under which he is to commence his official course, will greatly increase the burthen of his new, untried office. That there is too much reason to fear that the arts and talents of the best of federal lawyers will, more perplex and embarrass, than aid him. And that the oracle, will probably continue, to disseminate its publications to excite a spirit of jealousy and distrust among the people against him. But if his sole object, be to discover truth, and administer equal justice to all, his path of duty will be plain, and in pursuing it, he will acquire increasing fame that will exist, when the pages of that polluted paper shall be consigned to a use congenial to its filthy nature.
Here an enquiry presents itself, what was the object of the oracle man in writing and publishing his communication? He says it was not "merely to reproach Mr. Langdon." If that was not his principal object, he has deviated greatly from his intended course, and is guilty of uttering much abuse and unmerited reproach upon the conduct of your late worthy governor. He says, his object was not "to give vent to useless expressions of discontent and resentment"—and yet almost every sentence is replete with that baneful spirit. His real object, he says, was to excite wise men to consider whether the evil "of Mr. Evans' appointment" admits of a remedy.—The wise men to whom, I presume, he alludes, were the legislature then in session at Concord, and in particular, those members, to whom he or his coadjutor so promptly furnished with the oracle containing his communication. If you were to admit, contrary to the fact, that this appointment is that grievous evil not to be borne, that will destroy your superior court, as that writer affirms, I ask what remedy has he prescribed? None. What remedy has his wise men devised? The legislature did not feel the evil press on them as it did on him. They intimated no complaint against the appointment, which less a remedy for an evil that existed but in the disappointed mind of the writer of a two penny newspaper . Permit me my fellow citizens, to ask you to consider, what could induce the oracle man to give vent to such a spirit of bitter resentment against your late governor, his council, and one of your present judges? Will it restore peace & harmony to social intercourse? on the contrary, has it not a direct and far tendency to perpetuate the blind rage of party—encrease animosity and jealousy—and create distrust and a want of confidence in your highest judicial tribunal, and that without effecting a single useful purpose? Such discontents are more than idle , such resentments are worse than vain . They are fatal to the repose of society; and he who makes and publishes them, is, while attempting to degrade your public officers and destroy your confidence in them, the herald of his own shame.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
LONDON, MAY 24. In the House of Commons last night Lord Henry Petty, put a question to Mr. Canning upon the subject of the correspondence between Mr. Erskine and the American government.—Mr. Canning replied, that the agreement purporting to be entered into by our ministers & the American government, was not made in conformity with the wishes of his Majesty nor such as his Majesty could approve of. It was neither founded on the instructions sent to our Minister, nor consistent with them. Yet as it was possible that under the faith of that agreement various speculations in trade might be entered into by American Merchants, it became necessary, to prevent any inconvenience or detriment to them, to issue some order, by which they might be secured of indemnity in their speculations, at least till the sentiments of his Majesty could be conveyed to America. An Order of Council would speedily be published to the abovementioned effect.—It will appear in Saturday night's Gazette. Previously, however, to the meeting of the House of Commons yesterday, Mr. Sanfom, the chairman of the committee of merchants trading to the United States of America received a note from Earl Bathurst, the President of the Board of Trade, requesting his attendance, with such other Gentlemen of the Committee as might be inclined to accompany him at the Board. The Chairman and several members of the Committee repaired at one o'clock to the Treasury Chamber, and on their being introduced to the Board of Trade, were informed by Earl Bathurst, that the recent arrangements made by our Ambassador, Mr. Erskine, with the government of the United States, through its Secretary, Mr. Smith, were unauthorized by his Majesty's Ministers, and that he had sent for the committee for the express purpose of communicating the fact to them, with the view that the same might without loss of time be made known to the Merchants trading to the United States.—His Lordship at the same time informed the committee, that no advantage would be taken or any impediment thrown in the way of those who had already, and in consequence of this unauthorized arrangement, sent consignments to any of his Britannic Majesty's subjects; but that American ships and cargoes, under such circumstances, would be allowed to proceed to their destined ports in security.

SURRENDER OF VIENNA.
Ratisbon, May 12.
This morning the following Bulletin and General Orders have been published:—
ARMY OF GERMANY;
"A Saxon Officer, or Courier, who passed through Ratisbon last night, has brought the intelligence, that on the 9th his Majesty the Emperor and King entered Vienna.
By the Commandant. [Signed] "J. L. FELIX."
Dutch papers of the 23d have brought accounts of the French having entered Vienna.
The intelligence was published at Ratisbon on the 12th of May, in a short Bulletin, which stated that on the 9th Bonaparte entered the Austrian capital. There is probably some mistake with respect to the day, for, by the 6th Bulletin of the French army, Bonaparte was on the 9th at St. Polten, at least 40 miles from Vienna; his advanced guards under Montebello, were at Siekartzerchen, above 20 miles. However, we see no reason to doubt the fact of the enemy having entered the Austrian capital. We had hoped that Vienna would have made some resistance; it has a good ditch, and the works are strong, though to have defended the city it would have been necessary to have destroyed the suburbs. Not that the resistance could have been efficacious or long; but if it had lasted a fortnight, it would have allowed time for the Archdukes Charles and Ferdinand, and the other officers, to have collected a large force on the Hungarian frontier.
AUGSBURG, May 12.
According to certain intelligence the French troops are already on the other side of Vienna. It is probable they will proceed directly towards Hungary, in order to anticipate the insurrection there.
AUSTRIA, May 4.
We have heard nothing of battles since the retreat of the Archduke Charles over the Danube. He has fixed his great army in Bohemia.
HAGUE, May 22.
The following important intelligence is contained in letters of the 13th inst. from the Lower Rhine:—
On the 25th of April, the Emperor of Russia declared war against Austria, and ordered his armies to enter Galicia and Hungary. The Russians have already entered Galicia and beaten the Austrians.
Since the 9th inst. the French flag has been unfurled on the top of St. Stephen's church at Vienna. On the 10th or 11th the Emperor Napoleon was to leave the capital. The Emperor Francis II. has solicited peace.
A private letter from the French head quarters of the 6th, announces that on that day an Austrian officer of the staff had arrived with a messenger bearing a letter written by the emperor Francis, to the emperor Napoleon, in which the emperor of Austria implored an armistice and peace of his majesty in the most humble expressions. The short time of the stay of the Parliamentary in the head quarters of his Majesty, induced an opinion that the answer was unfavorable—the more so, as the army continues advancing.
LONDON, May 22—25.
The King of Sweden has been formally deposed, and the government placed in the hands of the Prince Regent, until a new Constitution should be finally settled.
The insurrection in Westphalia assumes a formidable aspect. The noted Schill has augmented his followers to a vast amount—has taken Bremen, and was spreading them through Brunswick and Hanover.
A French squadron is said to have escaped from Toulon, and thrown relief into Barcelona.
Rear Admiral Harvy has been dismissed for contemptuous language against Lord Gambier.
Oporto was taken by the forces under Sir Arthur Wellesley.—They entered it on the 12th of May, after several actions.
PARIS, May 6.—The following bulletin was this day published.
THIRD FRENCH BULLETIN.
"Head Quarters at Burghausen, April 30.
The emperor arrived in Muhldorf, on the 27th inst. in the evening. His majesty detached the division of General Wrede to Laufen on the Salz, in order to overtake the corps which the enemy had in Tyrol, and which was retreating by forced marches. General Wrede overtook the enemy's rear, on the 28th, near Laufen, took their baggage and many prisoners; but the enemy had sufficient time to cross the river and burn the bridge.
On the 27th the Duke of Dantzig arrived in Wansburg, and on the 28th at Altenmark.
On the 29th General Wrede continued his march to Salzburg; about three leagues from the town he found the advanced post of the enemy's army. The Bavarians pursued them closely and entered the town with them. General Wrede assures that the division of Gen. Jellachich is completely destroyed. The General has thus been punished for the scandalous proclamation by which he put the dagger in the hand of the Tyrolese.
The Bavarians have taken 500 prisoners and found considerable magazine in Salzburg.
On the 28th, at break of day, the Duke of Itria, arrived in Burghausen, and his advanced parties took post on the right banks of the Inn. The same day the duke of Montebello arrived in Burghausen. Count Bertrand exerted himself to the utmost to restore the bridge which had been burnt by the enemy. It was completed on the 30th, and the whole army crossed the river.
On the 28th a detachment of fifty horse chasseurs commanded by Capt. Margaron, arrived in Dirmmaring, where he fell in with a battalion of the famous militia styled Landwehr, which, on his approach retreated into a thick wood. Capt. Margaron summoned them to surrender; after much deliberation, 1000 men of that valiant militia, posted in a thick wood, altogether inaccessible to cavalry, surrendered to 50 chasseurs. The Emperor wished to see them; they really excite compassion; they are badly armed, worse accoutred, and commanded by superannuated officers of artillery.
Austria has raised numerous armies, divided into corps like the French army; her troops are moving, by forced marches, to imitate the French troops; her Generals are publishing Bulletins, Proclamations, and General Orders, all in imitation of the French; but the afs is not ennobled to a lion, because he is covered with a lion's skin; the long ears betray the ignoble beast.
The emperor of Austria has left Vienna, and on his departure published a proclamation drawn up by Gents, in the style and spirit of the most ridiculous performances of that kind. He is gone to —, a position extremely well adapted for a sovereign who neither wishes to be in his capital to govern his dominions, nor in the field, where he is known to be an incumbrance and dead weight.—When he was informed of the result of the battle of Eckmuhl, he judged it prudent to leave the banks of the Inn, and retire into the interior of his dominions.
The town of Sharzdung, which is now occupied by the duke of Rivoli, has suffered much. The Austrians, on their retreat set fire to their magazines, and burnt half the town which belonged to them. They had no doubt, some presentiment of their future fate, that which belonged to Austria shall no longer belong to her."
It appears by this Bulletin that the Austrians are evacuating Tyrol with the utmost precipitation, in consequence of the victories gained by our troops in Bavaria, and of the signal advantages obtained by Gen. St. Hilaire in the Italian part of Tyrol. We understand that Marshal Davoust is immediately to advance into Tyrol, with a considerable corps of French troops, to restore tranquility and order in the country, and open a communication between the German and Italian armies.
The Austrian army in Bavaria, composed of the flower of the enemy's troops, and on which the enemy placed all his hopes, was commanded by the Archduke Charles, and by the Archdukes Lewis, Anthony, and Maximilian. Our minister for foreign affairs, has left Strauburgh for the Imperial head-quarters.
LATEST—IMPORTANT.
By the June Packet, arrived in Halifax from England.—Dates to June 10.
LONDON, MAY 26.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Court of the Queen's Palace, the 24th of May. 1809. present, the King's most excellent Majesty in Council. Whereas, advices have been received of a certain provisional agreement entered into by his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in America, with the Government of the United States, whereby it is understood that his Majesty's Orders in Council of the 7th of January, and of the 11th November, 1807, shall be withdrawn as far as respects the United States, on the 10th of June next.
And whereas, although the said provisional agreement is not such as was authorized by his Majesty's Instructions, or such as his Majesty can approve, it may already have happened, or may happen, that persons being citizens of the said United States, may be led, by a reliance on the said provisional agreement, to engage in trade with, and to the said ports and places in Holland
contrary to, and in violation of, the restrictions imposed, his Majesty, in order to prevent any inconveniences that may ensue from the circumstance above recited, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, That the said several Orders shall be suspended, so far as is necessary for the protection of vessels of the said United States, so failing under the faith of the said provisional agreement, videlicet , That after the 9th day of June next, no vessel of the United States, which shall have cleared out between the 19th of April last, and the 20th of July ensuing, for any of the ports of Holland aforesaid, from any port of the United States, shall be molested, or interrupted in her voyage by the commanders of his Majesty's ships or privateers.
And it is further ordered, that no vessel of the U. States, which shall have cleared out from any port of America, previous to the 20th July next, for any other permitted port, and shall, during her voyage, have changed her destination, in consequence of information of the said provisional agreement, and shall be proceeding to any of the ports of Holland aforesaid shall be molested or interrupted by the commanders of any of his Majesty's ships or privateers, unless such vessel shall have been informed of this Order on her voyage, and shall have been warned not to proceed to any of the ports of Holland aforesaid, and shall, notwithstanding such warning be found attempting to proceed to any such port.
And it is further ordered, that after the said 9th day of June next, no vessel of the said U. States which shall have cleared out, or be destined to any of the ports of Holland, from any other port or place, not subject to the restrictions of the said order of the 26th April last, after notice of such provisional agreement as aforesaid shall be molested or interrupted in her voyage, by the commanders of his Majesty's ships or privateers.
And his Majesty is pleased further to order and it is hereby ordered, that the several Orders of the 7th Jan. and 11th November 1807 as altered by the said order of the 26th of April last, shall also be suspended so far as is necessary for the protection of the vessels of the said United States, which shall clear out to any ports not declared to be under the restriction of blockade from any port of Holland, between the 9th day of June and the first of July next.
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.
May 30, 1809.
A motion was made to request his Majesty to lay before the House, copies of the INSTRUCTIONS given to Mr. Erskine, in America; on the subject of the Orders in Council; and also of the notes which passed between Mr. E. and the American Government, and between Mr. E. and his Majesty's Ministers.
Mr. Canning observed, that with respect to the Instructions he should have no objection, as there never had, perhaps, been an instance in the history of the diplomacy of this country, where a Minister had so far deviated from the spirit and letter of his instructions. Mr. Erskine had been instructed to make concessions to the government of the United States, arising out of such concessions as they should propose on their part to him; and in such manner as should render the concession mutual. Instead of this, however, our minister had made every concession on his part, without obtaining one stipulated concession on the part of America. The Instructions had been explicit; and as their production would throw the necessary light on the subject, he would not oppose their production. With respect to the Notes they were already in substance before the public.
In reply to enquiries, if Mr. Erskine had transmitted to government any justification on the subject; and what was the present state of our intercourse with America.
Mr. Canning said, that Mr. Erskine had made a communication on the subject, but which the papers already moved for would show it would not be necessary to produce, and respecting the intercourse, he could not with propriety give any very positive or decided answer. He would, however, observe, that the British merchant would be relieved from much of the inconvenience that would attach to the American trader, the former being aware of the existing circumstances; whereas the latter might be acting on principles that could not be admitted by this country. Care, however, had been taken also that the unpleasant circumstances that had unfortunately occurred should be productive of as little inconvenience as possible to the subjects of America, who may have acted on this occasion on grounds supposed to be acceded to by this country.
Mr. Stevens thought it unnecessary to call for Mr. Erskine's defence until he should be put on his trial. The motion was carried without a division.

MR. ERSKINE.
The instructions to Mr. Erskine have been called for in Parliament and published. Mr. Canning said he was perfectly willing, as it would appear that no minister ever went wider of his powers. On enquiry whether Mr. Erskine had sent no justification, it was answered he had; but the House could judge from his instructions how far they coincided. His account of his realtions would be left for him to produce on his trial! Mr. Canning said Mr. Erskine had been instructed to make concessions to America arising out of such concessions as they should propose of their part to him, and in such a manner as should make the concessions mutual. Instead of this however, Mr. Erskine had made every concession on his part, without attaining one stipulated concession on the part of America. The instructions of his Majesty's government had been explicit, and would throw the necessary light on the subject.
NEW MINISTER.
The British Government have appointed Mr. Jackson, Envoy Extraordinary, to the United States. He is coming over in the frigate Phenix, 44, Capt. Mudge, immediately.
MR. ERSKINE'S INSTRUCTIONS.
"Our paper of this day, provided neither of the Cutters from England, or the Phenix with Mr. Jackson, is arrived, will be interesting to you. Since publishing it, I have seen a copy of Mr. Canning's official instructions to Mr. Erskine—I had previously supposed him to have labored under an extraordinary mistake, but on examining that document, I think otherwise. Mr. Erskine having stated to Mr. Canning that Mr. Madison, Mr. Gallatin, and Mr. Smith (last autumn) had expressed a desire to come to an amicable accommodation with Great Britain—That gentleman, (Mr. C.) on the 23rd of January last, tells him that if it be really the case, that the members of the American Government have that disposition, his Majesty's ministers will be ready to withdraw the exceptional Orders in Council, so far as it respects America—On the condition that—
1st. America shall withdraw her interdicts, Embargoes, &c. &c. so far as they relate to the ships of war, and trade of Great Britain—leaving them in force as to France and the powers that adopt her Decrees.
2d. That America is willing to renounce, during the present war, the pretensions of carrying on in time of war all trade with the enemy's colonies, from which she was excluded during peace.
3d. G. Britain for the purpose of securing the operation of the Embargo, and of the bona fide intention of America to prevent her citizens from trading with France, and the powers acting under her Decrees, is to be considered as being at liberty to capture all such American vessels as may be found attempting to trade with the ports of any of those powers. Without which security for the observance of the Embargo, (Interdiction) the raising if nominally with respect to Great Britain alone, would, in fact, raise it with respect to all the world.
On these conditions (the 1st and 2d suggested by persons (now) in the American Government) his Majesty would consent to withdraw the Orders of January and November, 1807, so far as respected America—And, for this purpose, Mr. Erskine was authorized to communicate this despatch, in extenso, to the American Secretary of State.
And, on the receipt of an official note, engaging to adopt the 3 conditions aforesaid, his Majesty would be ready to repeal the Orders in Council—either previous or subsequent to the conclusion of a Treaty for that purpose—for which a person would be immediately appointed to negotiate.
"This I think is nearly the substance of the Note (Instructions)."
RUSSIAN FLEET OUT.
The Russian fleet is supposed to be destined against Stockholm. The emperor's army has broken up from its cantonments in Finland, and he threatens to pour it into the heart of Sweden, unless he consents to accept a King of his nomination. Sir James Saumarez has failed for the Baltic, and we hope will come up with the enemy. The Swedish Diet is said to be much divided—the deputies from the farmers insist upon framing a new Constitution before they choose a King. The army, it is also reported, is far from being unanimous. Finding that the disposition of the King has not produced the effect of restoring peace with Russia, several regiments, it is said, have expressed sentiments of compassion for this unfortunate Monarch, and repentance at the conduct that has been adopted towards him.
Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1809.
The late news from England, relating to our negotiations with that government, has clouded our prospects of a return of friendly intercourse with that country. It is difficult to assign a cause why Great Britain should wish to augment the number of her enemies, unless it be that madness which is the precursor of destruction. Incredible as it may appear, her ministry deny that the progress towards reconciliation was authorized by the government, and declare their adherence to the infamous orders in council. Can it be believed that a man of the high standing of Mr. Erskine, could so totally misunderstand, so entirely disobey his instructions? Or have their pacific professions been a decoy to lure our defenceless commerce from the security of our harbors—that they might gratify their avarice, though they sacrificed their honor? Much as we deprecate a war with England, we should say, if Britain draws the sword, America cannot choose, but must throw away the scabbard.
LATE FROM FRANCE.
From the Salem Register, of July 22. By the politeness of Mr. Gould, of Beverly, we have been favored with the loan of a file of French papers to June 11.
Not having an opportunity to examine the papers till a late hour, we are obliged to content ourselves with an outline of the important contents we find in the latest of them. From the 15th Bulletin, dated 2d June, at Ebersdorf, we learn:—The French had great success in Dalmatia, and had taken the commander in chief of the army opposed to them. The Duke of Ragusa reached Fiume an 28th May, and made a junction with the army of Italy, of which this was the division on the right. The Duke reports that an English squadron had reached Trieste, with a view to seize the Russian fleet—but such dispositions were made as secured the Russian fleet, and the English left the port. A thousand Austrians at Krewbs, on the right bank of the Danube, were made prisoners by the troops of Wurtemberg.
By the 14th Bulletin, at Ebersdorf 1st June, the Bridges on the Danube had been rebuilt, and important preparations had been made on the Danube. After the defeat of Jellachich, the French on the Solza had made many prisoners. Gen. Easalle had his head quarters near Presburg. Gen. Macdonald had entered Gratz, and had taken immense stores of the enemy. The Duke of Dantzig was at Lintz. The Prince of Ponte Corvo at Vienna. Vandamme at St. Pölten. Order was restored in the Tyrol—Vienna was quiet. The Duke of Montebello (Marshal Lannes) had died of his wounds.
From the Bayonne Journal of June 11, we learn that the French had every success in Dalmatia. By letters from Golpicek, the French had taken more than a thousand prisoners, and having dispersed the enemy the French were advancing. In Turkish Croatia the Turks had risen in arms, and had invaded the Austrian part of that country. They had taken Cetin and Drenick and had already possessed of a considerable part of that country.
By letters from Trieste the French flag was displayed in that place on the 18th May. The Russians had saluted it by repeated discharges of cannon.
From Peteriburg May 23, we learn, that the Russian troops had received orders to penetrate into the Austrian provinces. From Prussia we learn that the news of the War between Russia and Austria had reached Warsaw—That the Austrians had left Warsaw, which they had entered, and that the Duke Ferdinand had been forbidden by Prussia to violate the peace of Silesia. On the 13th May, the Russians were within 2 days march of Warsaw, and the Duke Ferdinand was upon the retreat. The Saxon army had reached Lintz on the 17th May, and was marching for Vienna.
Couriers for the French Emperor passed Leipzig on the 21st May from Russia and from Sweden. The Austrian Gen. Muhl had been wounded at the siege of Thorn—the Russians were moving in that direction.
In the campaign in Italy the Archduke John had lost 18000, men, 60 cannon, and 6 standards. The French papers contain several bulletins of the army of Germany of a previous date to those we have mentioned, but we had not time to examine them.
On the 28th April the emperor of Russia informed the Austrian Minister that as the Austrians had attacked the Duchy of Warsaw, he considered himself at War with Austria, and that all diplomatic relations between the two courts had ceased.
The Am. national brig Syren had arrived at L'Orient, from Baltimore, with dispatches.
At the anniversary celebration of the 4th inst. SAMUEL HAINES, Esq. prefaced the reading of the Declaration of Independence with the following appropriate observations:—
Follow Citizens,
Before the oration is pronounced, your attention is invited to the reading of the Declaration of Independence—that sacred charter of the rights of man, which the magnanimous sages of the revolution, three and thirty years ago, this day, ventured to usher into the world, amid the angry thunders of British vengeance.
This was a new and momentous period in the history of civilized nations: It was an occasion, that called for the most intrepid fortitude, and the sublimest energies of human nature:—It was the awful and solemn crisis, which was to decide, for centuries, the fate of injured America.—Death or victory were the eventful pivots of concealed destiny; and none but the inflexible and heaven-guided heirs of republican freedom dar'd commence the adventurous experiment!—As liberty or slavery was the only alternative involved in the sovereign decree and valiant determination of the colonial Congress, death and the soldier's grave in the field of honor, were preferred to
an eternal existence in a world of tributary bondage.
The deliberate and righteous manifesto, which makes this day forever memorable in the splendid annals of American glory, was announced to anxious millions by that veteran band of republican philanthropists, whose achievements their grateful children annually to much delight to enumerate and applaud;—It spread its animating and patriotick influence, with electric celerity, throughout an oppressed continent, and bade the celestial genius of liberty, "ride in the whirlwind" of Columbia's fate and "direct" the maddening "storm of war."
We, therefore, who are reposing under the fragrant laurels of the revolution, are again called by the voice of reciprocal joy and gratitude to eulogize this glorious event, and once more recite the cause of it to the rising generation.
In looking back through the medium of imagination to the eventful 4th of July 1776, we behold the venerable and immortal fathers of American Independence commencing the arduous work of abolishing that system of British tyranny and oppression, whose insufferable accumulation and pressure called aloud for immediate retaliation and resistance. We view them defying, with the native intrepidity of injured and insulted freemen, every obstacle to the emancipation of their country, and laying, amidst the greatest dangers, the broad, and we hope, the imperishable foundations of our magnificent Republic. And as an eternal testimony of the justness of their cause and rectitude of their intentions, after expressing their reliance, for the success of their momentous undertaking, on the aid and approbation of omniscient Jehovah, the American Congress proclaimed to the universe, in the solemn language of this sacred Instrument, the numerous and just causes, which then impelled them to take up arms against the parent empire; and then pronounced, with a divine energy, the British colonies in America "free, sovereign and independent States;"—resolving, before they sheathed the sword, to establish the freedom of their country or gloriously perish in the conflict.
The police of the city of New-Orleans, in consequence of the great influx of distressed fugitives from the Spanish islands, have had a meeting, and appointed committees in each ward, to make arrangements for their relief, and to give employment to such as are able and willing to work.—Phila. Gaz.
The sch. William, Bezeat, of Baltimore, for St. Jago de Cuba, was taken by a French privateer, on the 23d May, off the island of Beati, carried into the island, and after taking the most valuable part of her cargo out, and part of her sails & rigging, dismissed her.
At the late anniversary of American independence, the Cincinnati Society of Pennsylvania, passed a resolution to appropriate the sum of 500 dollars to erect an unornamented monument to the memory of Major General Anthony Wayne—formerly a member of the Society, and at the time of his decease, commander in chief of the armies of the United States.
Brig Thetis arrived at New-York from New-Orleans, passed in the river a number of vessels from Cuba, full of passengers, probably 3000. The slaves were not permitted to go on shore.
A laborer, by the name of John Wood, lately taken from the main yard of the ship India Packet, in Newyork, into the hold, a distance of 60 or 70 feet, and struck with his bare head upon the stone ballast. He was taken up alive, and carried to hospital, and hopes are entertained of his recovery.
During a thunder storm at Philadelphia, 28th June, a Mr. Lewis, riding in his chair, near Germantown, had his horse instantly struck dead by lightning. Mr. Lewis was violently thrown from his chair, but escaped all injury, except the shock which occasioned a numbness in his legs. The lightning descended in three streams, and shivered trees on each side of the chair.
Hon. Christopher G. Champlin, of New-Port, is chosen to the Senate of the United States, by the Legislature of Rhode Island, vice the Hon. Francis Malbone, deceased.
On the 26th ult. a duel was fought on the Maryland Shore, near Laidlers Ferry, between Nathaniel H. Hooe, Esq. and Capt. John N. Ashton, both of King George's County in Virginia—Capt. A. was dangerously wounded in an artery of one of his thighs.
The N. Y. Com. Advertiser states, that the locusts are extremely numerous in the neighborhood of that city, and for 20 or 30 miles to the east of it.
On the 27th ult. the first piece of artillery, a 6 pounder, was cast at the Virginia manufactory of arms, and was used on the 4th inst. to announce the anniversary of American Independence.—The machine for the making of cannon, has been prepared and put up under the inspection of Mr. Foxall of Georgetown.—It is said to be excellent and ingenious. Mr. F. is to receive 5000 dollars from the state for his services.
The Riches of the Soil.—A Gold Mine has been discovered at Passamaquoddy—A lump of native gold weighing upwards of 14 1/2 oz. troy, found by a little boy, on Soward's neck beach, has been taken to the mint, and assayed; its quality is more than 22 carats, which is the standard for the gold coins of the U. S. and G. B. [Chronicle.]
It is said the Hon. John Q. Adams will sail in the course of two or three weeks, on his mission to Russia.
On the 17th ult. as a number of workmen were employed in pulling down an old building in Pearl street N. Y. the front brick wall unexpectedly gave way, when the roof fell in and buried six of the men—3 were dug out of the ruins, one dead and four shockingly mangled—one missing.
Every description of French property in Cuba, has been confiscated by the Spanish patriots.
Spanish dollars bearing the name of Ferdinand VII, are already in circulation in the United States.

Dixville Road Lottery. CLASS THIRD. 12,000 Tickets at 5 dollars each are 60,000 dolls. 1 Prize of 8000 is 8000 1 do. 2500 — 2500 2 Prizes 1000 are 2000 4 do 500 — 2000 60 do 100 — 6000 60 do 50 — 3000 100 do 20 — 2000 200 do 10 — 2000 3573 do 7 — 25011 4001 52511 Subject to no Deduction—Not two blanks to a prize—and less than 12 1/2 per cent allowed for the Lottery. A part of the above prizes will be drawn in the following manner, viz. The first drawn blank on the third day's drawing will be entitled to 500 dollars. Do on the 6th, 1000 Do on the 9th, 500 Do on the 12th, 1000 Do on the 15th, 500 Do on the 18th, 500 Do on the 21st, 2000 Do on the 24th, 500 tickets in this class, numbered from 1000 to 10500 inclusive, and deposited in the bank. Five hundred numbers will be considered a day's drawing, and the above capital prizes disposed of accordingly. The drawing shall commence in Boston 31st July inst. and shall be completed in thirty days next succeeding. The prize of 8000 shall be paid in ninety days; prizes of a 1000 and 500 dollars in 60 days, all others in 30 days, and in bills usually current in Massachusetts and New-Hampshire. Tickets will rise to 5, 50, fifteen days previous to the drawing. Prizes not demanded in one year will not be paid, but be considered as a gratuity to the object of the Lottery. The advantages of this novel scheme as it respects the prize of 2500 to be paid with 500 Tickets must be obvious, as in these may be contained not only the highest prize, but many other and possibly all the capital prizes of the Lottery. It will we presume excite much interest in adventure, and insure a rapid sale of the Tickets. The Managers will continue to observe the most rigid punctuality in their engagements, and the success they have met with in the two former classes, induces them to hope that the object of the Lottery will soon be attained.
