appear by an examination of the context. We learn that Jacob, on leaving the house of his father, went to the land of the people of the east, the purpose of receiving a blessing and meritorious as he was, the condition was difficult, arduous, and uninteresting. On the road, it seemed his bliss or misery. The partner of his bed might either cover it with pleasing thorns, or with a kind and constant hand strew it over with unfading wreaths of roses. After a tedious pilgrimage, (if the expression be allowable,) he arrived at Padan Aram, in Syria, a country for various reasons, the peculiar favourite of Heaven. In one of the green valleys of this fertile region, he met the young and lovely Rachel. Instigated by the propensity of his nature, and the power of her personal attractions, he flew to her, and in the energetic language of the text, kissed her . What man not cursed by a detestable abhorrence of her sex, could refrain from taking, (or at least wishing to take,) the same liberty. Fair and inviting was the opportunity, and it is difficult to decide, whether the cold temperament of him who could resist it, ought most to excite pity or inour contempt.
It is not proved that Rachel either resisted, or even objected against this freedom from a stranger. We may venture, therefore, to determine, that the salutation had quite the opposite effect, upon the solid principles, regarding which the learned, so prone to controversy, and so notorious for a discordancy of sentiments, have differed, that women, and especially maidens, (such at this period we must consider Rachel,) did never, from the creation of the world to the present hour, conceive a mortal antipathy to a kiss from an admirer glowing with all the manly allurements of his youth, comeliness and vigour. But, no readiness to take offence, no spark of momentary resentment, no flashes of transient anger, were raised within her breast by the tender familiarity of Jacob. She received it as the welcome presage of a tender intimacy, which terminated in a prosperous marriage. Thus, as in the days of yore, kissing is generally the forerunner of closer connections, which sometimes have led to uncorrupted matrimony, but which has often, with a faithless step, been known to start aside from the fascinating object to which the male lover declared that it was ultimately tending. Thrice fortunate are they, who unalterably attentive to the hallowed mandate which proceeds from Heaven, from nature, and speaks with soft yet insurmountable persuasion , to every son and daughter of the universe, can truly exclaim—"We have not laboured in vain; we have not suffered the flower of our age to drop withering from the stalk; we possess the commendation of our own consciences, and the esteem of our friends; in addition to which enviable felicity, our children shall rise up and call us blessed."
Having thus briefly considered the import of the words, "Jacob kissed Rachel," I shall,
Secondly, endeavour to fix upon your minds the actual expediency of implicitly submitting to the cordial precept which it inculcates. Whatsoever nature inclines us to do, the same not being prohibited by any positive law, divine or human, it assuredly behoves us to execute. But on this occasion, the injunction presents itself with an aspect so winning and so enlightened, that we cannot hesitate to regard it, as at once rational and extatick. Let the insensible beings of the masculine gender, (if such unfortunately there are,) examine their inward feelings, and declare whether they would not conceive it difficult totally to resist the temptations of lips like those of Rachel; a fragrance, equal to the odours of an April morn, issuing from their vermilioned surface, to render them not the least captivating of that almost divine assemblage of features, in which Jacob doubtless perceived the spotless index of the milder virtues, invariably directed throughout their lucid progress, by the best and consequently the most serviceable qualities of a female understanding. I can venture to affirm, that the majority of beings, who compose the masculine part of this world, are a compound of materials too sublime, too effervescent, too luxuriously prone to the participation of the fair indulgence not to enjoy by the warm magic of an elevated imagination, these scenes of reciprocal endearments as having passed between Jacob and Rachel. "He kissed her; he lifted up his voice, and wept"—In sorrow? No! from an excess of transport. The joy which overflowed the heart, rushing from the delighted eye dropping a tributary tear upon the snowy bosom of the enchanted object of this inevitable, yet just emotion.
From the case of Jacob, it is not erroneous, but highly requisite to infer, that his behaviour at this interview with Rachel should be taken, so long as the world exists for a pattern by all who may have the advantage of standing in a similar predicament. Let this admonition remain deeply engraved on the tablets of our memory. A we are bound to carry it into the most extensive practice, whenever the least occasion may occur, when we become inspired with a spirit of emulation, and strive dur-
ing to delectable a task, to bear away the glorious palm of pre-eminence.
Foreign Intelligence.

LONDON, October 6.
NAPoleon is reported to have been seriously indisposed at the palace of Schoenbrunn. Whatever may be the nature of his complaint, it does not appear to have confined him, as he has attended reviews of his own armies in various remote situations, if we may believe the details on this subject in the foreign papers. By a gentleman who has lately arrived from France, on whose correctness we can depend, we understand it to be the fact, that a courier was despatched to that city from Vienna, to require the principal physician immediately to repair to Schoenbrunn, and the medical professor immediately obeyed the command.
By a letter from Frankfort of the 24th ult. it appears that the Swedish embassy which had for some time been in that city, had taken its departure for Paris after waiting there for some time to receive directions from Vienna.
In a communication from Bayonne of the 9th of September, it is said that a battalion of Poles, with a numerous field train and several detachments of other troops, had passed through that town on their progress to Spain.
Private advices from Flushing of the 2d inst. state, that a person had that day arrived from Tergoes, with advice that the French were arming all their fishing vessels in the Scheldt, with a heavy gun in the bow of each, and were making other preparations for an attack upon Walcheren. In the Paris papers we also find it stated, in a letter from Antwerp of the 21st ult. that two hundred gun-boats were shortly expected there from Boulogne by the interior navigation.
October 7.
SOUTH-AMERICA.
Some accounts have been received of the new Viceroy having entered on his functions. From the letter given in a preceding column, and the document with which it is accompanied, it appears that the ancient system of Spain, with regard to her colonies will be followed by the Junta. It will therefore certainly be a question for Great-Britain to consider, how far it is consistent with sound policy to promote that close and intimate union between Spain and her American territories, which shall exclude us from any direct intercourse with these colonies; and which will subject every bale of merchandise to the payment of whatever duties the supreme government shall impose; whatever may be its character, and from whatever quarter its power may emanate.
GERMAN PAPERS.
We have received letters and papers from the Elbe to a late date, brought by the Ann, which left Heligoland on the 29th ult.
The journals repeat the statements before received, of the prolongation of the armistice on the Danube; but still there is a want of harmony in the dates and particulars.
The private letters are of more importance. In opposition to the general tenor of the statements in the printed journals, they are pretty unanimous in expressing an opinion that hostilities are on the eve of recommencing between France and Austria. The French army is drawn up on the line marked out in the armistice, and its head-quarters are advanced from Schoenbrunn to Presburg.
FROM THE SPANISH PAPERS.
SIEGE OF GERONA.
We have received a voluminous journal of the siege of Geronia, a city in Catalonia, which is anxious to emulate at the same time the former reputation of this province, and the more recent glory attained by Saragossa. We have room only for a few abridged extracts from this noble diary:—
"June 25.—The bombardment has lasted eleven days, without any intermission, day or night. About eight bombs are discharged every quarter of an hour. Some houses have received from 20 to 26, and some convents more than 90. On the 17th, the tower of St. Lewis was attacked; and after the enemy had been twice driven away, was destroyed. This enabled the enemy to attack and take the tower of St. Narciso, and afterwards that of St. Daniel; the drawbridge being destroyed, and the garrison having made its retreat in good order.
"June 26.—A proclamation was this day published, declaring the determination of the principal citizens to behold with indifference the destruction of their houses and effects; relying upon the justice of the nation, which would not fail to grant them the same distinction and privileges which were given to Saragossa, whose example Geronia would emulate. The ladies of the city, at the same time, are declared to have merited the rewards due to patriotism. Their services on the 17th are especially praised, when they appeared on the works, carrying ammunition and provisions to those who were actually fighting.
"June 28.—The bombardment which has never ceased, has been succeeded by red-hot balls, which are fired in so great abundance upon Montjuich, that many fall into the city. As the efforts of the enemy are principally directed against this castle, our principal means of defence are applied to this spot. We shall not fail to make the enemy feel the superiority of our artillery, and that he is exhausting his strength upon a rock which bids defiance to his efforts. On the 25th, 26th, and 27th, the bombardment of the castle was incessant from the tower of St. Daniel. The governor has granted badges of distinction to many of the company of the Geronese citizens, and rewards to several officers, in the name of Ferdinand VII. On the 26th, General Fabre sent a summons to the governor of the castle of Mequinenza to surrender, in which the general intimated that the general in chief had ordered heavy artillery, miners, &c. to be sent against the castle, which he had implored him not to do. The commandant of the castle, sent the following answer:—
"I have read your summons, and am sorry for the request you made to your general. I beg of you to use your influence with him to entrust you with the heavy artillery, miners, and sappers, that you may experience what a brave garrison and inhabitants can effect, who know only to conquer or die."
"July 1.—The governor made known despatches received from the marquis of Coupigny, governor-general of Catalonia, promising in the name of the nation, that all buildings destroyed should be rebuilt at the publick expence.
"July 2.—The enemy, though so long in possession of the towers, cannot avail himself of those positions, owing to the fire of Montjuich.
"July 3.—The following documents have been published:—
"From the Camp before Geronia, July 2, 1809.
"GOVERNOR—I have the honour to inform you, that I am authorized by his Excellency Count St. Cyr, General in Chief of the French army, to make suitable proposals to you, under the present circumstances.
"I invite you to send me one of your officers, who enjoys your confidence, that he may confer with me in the advanced posts, where he left the prisoner who carries this letter.
"To avoid false interpretations, you may associate with him a member of the Junta and one of the superior clergy.
"I have the honour to be, &c.
"KIRGENNER, Baron de Planta."
ANSWER.
"Most Excellent Sir—I have nothing to treat about with your Excellency; I am more than sufficiently acquainted with your intentions, and for the future, your Excellency will understand, that I shall not admit or respect any flag of truce or trumpet."
"July 4.—They who are unacquainted with the inhabitants of both sexes of this city, could not credit the composure and tranquillity with which the terrible bombardment is endured. But we are assured that succours will arrive at a proper time, which will inflict vengeance on the enemy for his rash attempt; and this is sufficient to induce every one to attend to his own duty, without indulging in a vain curiosity concerning the projects of the chiefs, resolved that the obstinacy of an inhuman race shall not weary out the constancy and fidelity of Geronia.
"July 5.—A formidable battery of 17 pieces of cannon had been raised, within half a musket shot of the castle of Montjuich; and another battery of grenades and red-hot balls, besides two other batteries of eight guns. These are constantly employed against Montjuich, which is answered with the utmost valour by our brilliant artillery. The Governor of Montjuich sends intelligence, that though 150 men have been employed to clear away the ruins of one of the bastions, they increased very fast. The Governor of the fortress, in consideration of the great valour displayed by the females of Geronia, and in order to organize their exertions, has instituted a female company, which is to co-operate in the defence of the place. The following are some of the instructions published on the occasion:—
"1. The company of Geronese women shall be called the company of Saint Barbara. "2-3. It shall consist of 200 members, with 4 commanders, 8 heads of squadrons, and 8 sergeants, all being women; all of whom shall be distinguished by red scarfs. "4. Whenever the general shall beat, the 4 divisions, each of 50 women, shall proceed to the four spots pointed out, attended by their female officers. "6. Each commander shall be attended by eight women, who shall be charged with supplying water where necessary.—The remainder shall take care of the wounded, carrying them to the hospitals, &c. &c."

STATE PAPER.
Immediately subsequent to the conclusion of peace between Russia and Sweden, the following official notification was issued:—
To the Civil Governor of Livonia and Acting Counsellor of State, Reffel.
"On the 5th of this month, a treaty of eternal peace between Russia and Sweden, was concluded, and signed at Fredericks-ham, by our Minister Plenipotentiary Count Romanzow, and Baron Stedluk, on the part of Sweden.
"All the propositions by us made, with regard to the said peace have been accepted, and the incorporation of the Grand Duchy of Finland with the Russian empire has been confirmed. The town of Tornec and the river of the same name form the frontiers of the two States.
"Thus has a war been ended, the various events of which have covered the Russian armies with immortal glory, and the termination whereof has added to the Russian empire a country inhabited by an industrious people, celebrated on account of its progress in agriculture, its markets, important fortifications, and the fortress of Sweaborg, which has been enlarged, and has secured forever on that side the frontiers of our native land.
"While we are offering up our thanks to that Divine Being which has vouchsafed to favour Russia and crown her arms with success, we hasten to acquaint you with this fortunate event, feeling perfectly satisfied, that all our faithful subjects will join us in offering up thanks to the Most High, for the happy conclusion of a much-wished for peace.
"For the rest, after the ratifications shall have been exchanged, the treaty of peace will be publickly made known by a distinct manifesto.
"I remain your affectionate, &c.
"(Signed) ALEXANDER.

LONDON, October 14.
Two hundred and forty vessels, laden with Russian produce have arrived in our ports; so that our markets will overflow with hemp, tallow, and other Russian articles.
In consequence of licenses being within this week resolved to be granted to import grain and flour from France or Holland, there are six hundred licenses and upwards now in the office of the Earl of Liverpool, waiting for his signature.
October 18.
The following summary is from Portuguese papers to the 27th of last month:
Venegas was at Carolina on the 8th, with 26,860 infantry; the cavalry in La Mancha. Romana arrived at Badajoz on the 14th of September, and proceeded on the 16th to Seville. The army of Galicia was shortly expected at Ciudad Rodrigo.
The French who occupied Coria have retreated into the interior of Spain.—Ney's army is in Salamanca.—That of Soult consists of 8000 men, and its headquarters are in Placentia. General Mortier has 10,000 men, and his headquarters are at Talavera, on the 10th of September. Victor has 20,000 men, and his headquarters are at Toledo. Sebastiani has 1000 men, and his headquarters are at Fuenlabrada.
The head-quarters of the English army are at Badajoz—an advanced division is at Lobau—and another at Merida. The bridge of Arzobispo is defended by only 8000 men. The Duke de Parque, with a considerable force, has occupied Ciudad Rodrigo, where the army of Galicia is shortly expected.
On the first of September, Geronia was relieved by the arrival of 6000 beasts, with provisions and ammunition, conveyed by 6000 men. The fire against Geronia has ceased.
The expectations of the Spaniards are high, and their language as usual, confident and lofty. But Napoleon, at length released from his labours in Germany may naturally be expected very shortly in Madrid.—That reinforcements from France are pouring into Spain, through the Pyrenees, is folly to doubt; and judging of the future by the past, we apprehend, that ere the present year concludes, the probability of success by the universal Spanish nation will be no longer credited, even at Lloyd's.
FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.
AMSTERDAM, October 11.
His Majesty yesterday received the happy intelligence that peace between Austria and France was signed on the third of this month, at Altenburg.
This happy event has been announced to-day to the inhabitants of the capital by a discharge of artillery, which has been repeated many times during the day. The Royal flag was also hoisted in token of rejoicing.
According to the latest reports, Lieutenant-Colonel de Taber, aid-de-camp to Marshal Dumonceau, has with a detachment of chasuers, driven away the enemy, who were in North Beveland, made five sailors prisoners, and burnt two canoes.
The royal fleet, under the command of Admiral Verhuel, which has been in sight of the enemy since the 7th of this month, under the sand creek, has reconnoitred as far as Sloe.—Leyden Gazette, October 13.
ANTWERP, October 3.
The night between the 29th and 30th last month spread terror throughout the Eng-
lish position. The whole English squadron was in motion, and a 74 gun ship got aground. The following day she was taken in tow by a frigate, and brought afloat. In the afternoon she was surrounded by a number of small armed vessels. Several of the persons who were wrecked, succeeded in saving themselves in the island of Cadzand. The climate of the island of Walcheren proves so destructive to the English that in the sole burying-ground of the city of Flushing, 513 graves have been dug containing each 4 soldiers, and 19 graves for officers.
Royal Amsterdam Gaz. October 19.
The terms of the peace between Austria and France are variously reported, but have not yet been suffered by government to transpire. It is believed that they are in possession of more specific information than the publick has yet received, as their agents do not scruple to admit that the terms are believed to be most humiliating for Austria. A few days will probably put us in possession of the heads of the treaty. One report on this subject is, that the pertinacious refusal of the Emperor Francis to yield the maritime town of Gibraltar, was the cause of the protraction of the negotiation.—The harbour of this place is good, and certainly is an acquisition of some value to the French, but if, as is by some believed, Austria has conceded even her capital, it is difficult to account for a comparatively inferior object having retarded the conclusion of the arrangement.—We doubt the facts, and we forbear to state the reports on the subject of the great extent of territory ceded by Austria, as we really apprehend the truth to be unknown—consequently what is asserted may be deemed mere conjecture. The renunciation of the title of Emperor of Austria is asserted to have been stipulated as a natural consequence of the cession of Upper and Lower Austria. From the great length to which the negotiation was protracted, we anticipate more favourable terms for Austria, than is generally believed to have been granted.
Extracts from Portuguese papers and a Gibraltar Chronicle, will be found in another part of our paper. The Spaniards, as we stated yesterday, appear confident of success—that our ministers are not equally so, the following extract from their hiring organs, the Morning Post of this day, evidently shows:—
"Some Spanish and Portuguese papers, have also come to hand. Their contents are in general of a favourable complexion; but the peace between Austria and France will, doubtless, soon enable Bonaparte to give an entire change of aspect to the affairs of Spain. Its cause, we fear, is now hopeless."
Whether Mr. Canning, the Duke of Portland, Lord Camden, which of them, or all of them, is or are to blame, Lord Castlereagh appears to have been kept in the dark. Such a transaction in private life, would be branded with an epithet, that we shall not use.—The publick will rejoice to learn, that Mr. Cooke feels his character involved so far as to render his retirement with Lord Castlereagh necessary. Thus has that gentleman at once evinced his fidelity to his patron—and relieved the publick from the alarm they felt at the report of his being the appointed successor of Mr. Huskisson.
Parliament was yesterday further prorogued from the 2d of November to the beginning of December.
A large naval force is now preparing at Portsmouth, to sail to the Black Sea, to co-operate with the Turks against the Russians. The following are among the ships mentioned to proceed on this service: Neptune, 98; Kent, 74; Repulse, 74; Warspite, 74; Sceptre, Victorious, Denmark, Alfred, and La Loire, frigates.
From the Gibraltar Chronicle.
TREVE, September 2.
The unhappy inhabitants of Saragossa, who have survived the most dreadful siege and the most destructive epidemick, are now undergoing a treatment scarcely less hard than death itself. After so many calamities, the barbarous Suchet has levied upon them exorbitant contributions, and allowed the soldiers to cut down the corn before it was ripe, to feed their horses, without being moved by the tears of the unfortunate widows and orphans. To this are added many other vexations, one of which is, that no one upwards of fourteen years old, can go about the streets without a permit for that purpose, for which he must pay.

NEW-YORK, November 22.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia to the editors of the Mercantile Advertiser, dated November 21, 1809.
THIS day arrived sloop Phoebe, Tuttle, 37 days from Carthagena; left there, schooner Elijah, Pigot, of and for Philadelphia in 15 days; and schooner Ann, for Baltimore, in 10 days. October 29th, off Baracoa, was boarded by the Spanish privateer schooner Clarissa, detained one hour, examined and dismissed, after robbing Captain T. of his trumpet.

"Captain T. says that markets were dull; that they were overstocked with English manufactures, and that the port of Carthagena was opened for nine months for all neutrals, with the prohibition of dry goods and spirituous liquors." "The Spaniards throughout South America, it was said, were ripe for a revolution. They say they will not submit to any other crowned head but Ferdinand VII. whom they appear willing to accept for their Prince, should he once more regain the Spanish throne; but should he fail, then they are for setting up a republican form of government, independent of any European Junta or other power. The province of Quito, it was said, had already set up an independent government, and thrown off all allegiance to Spain. To quell the spirit of insurrection, so called, troops were marching from the other provinces against the inhabitants of Quito, who had already chosen their Junta and set up a new form of government."
SALEM, November 24. LATEST FROM SPAIN. The brig Eliza and Daniel, Hull, of Duxbury, in 32 days from Corunna, touched in here on Tuesday evening. She brought two papers of that place, the 7th and 11th October, from which we have the following TRANSLATIONS:
GRENADA, September 4. In Molina de Aragon the new corps, both of infantry and cavalry, go on organizing themselves, and with ease, because of the enthusiasm of the people of that quarter, to whom, as well as to all in the District, the government has furnished every sort of supplies. Thirty waggons of supplies were intercepted from the French, but they were set fire to on account of the enemy's coming up in greater numbers; but they suffered great loss. Would to God that the like might always be practised in like circumstances, and that we should always have as happy an issue! With barbarians, as the present French canaille [rabble] must be considered, it is necessary to carry on a barbarian warfare. To feel compassion, in the cause of humanity, is to be deserving of it; but we ought to shut our ears to its cries, when we are fighting with him who despises it. And who has despised it more than Bonaparte and his satellites?
A private letter, dated at San Felices de los Gallegos, September 22. "My dear friend—How much will you wish for this letter, in order to know the result of the attack which we were preparing for, as I mentioned to you in my last of the 18th. The result has been as I then promised myself. The army, after working all the night of the 18th in taking positions to open the attack in the morning of the 19th as we expected, were informed that the miserable wretches headed by Ney had the same night set off towards Salamanca, having fires lighted by way of deceiving us; so that when we returned they were already 6 leagues in advance; upon which the General in Chief ordered the divisions to re-occupy their former positions, the head-quarters being again at this place. I have no words to express the sensations felt by our troops on hearing of the flight of the enemy. Those who did not flash with indignation, wept with rage; and the commanders had to console the troops by telling them, that very soon they would give them an opportunity of avenging themselves."
"We have here a man who is known only by his bravery, and who five months ago was called Julian, and now is Don Julian. I will give you a brief narrative of the exploits of this hero, for so we ought to call him. This Don Julian five months ago was a herdsman, and is a native of this part of the country. He agreed to put himself under the orders of the Commander in Chief, with six lads of his class, on horseback, and without any other arms than the lances which they use, for the purpose of pursuing the detached parties of the enemy who were laying waste the settlements of Castile. Such has been the success of this man, that with the six men which he commanded, he has been able to make upwards of 100 prisoners, all horsemen, which he has carried, by small parties, to Ciudad Rodrigo. In consequence of this, his Excellency gave him the rank of ensign and ordered him to increase his party to the number of fifty men, which he now has. With these men he now goes on a new plan, not to give quarter to any that he takes, except two or three, to prove the death of their companions. There have been times when he has destroyed 16, 20, 50, and even 80; so that if two days elapse without Don Julian's showing himself with prisoners, people believe some misfortune has happened to him. The last encounters he has had are these—on the evening when we expected to attack Ney, he advanced to the van-guard with his 50 lance-men and attacked 70 French dragoons who were in advance of their army, foraging in a settlement about 3 leagues from this place—of the 70, he killed 60, brought in 4 prisoners, and 6 escaped from him. He is now following the rear-guard of the army. The day before yesterday he killed 26, and brought in prisoners two physicians and a provision merchant whom he has sent hither. Among the killed was a commissary, whose clothes I have seen on one of his lance-men. Last night he surprised 21 men in a place, and not one escaped him, and this moment we hear of his having caught 52. These deeds of prowess are worthy of being published in the Journals, that the fame of this man may be proclaimed every where. His Excellency has been promoting him till he has put him in the rank of captain, and now it is said, that he is going to give him that of lieutenant-colonel. You will observe that not a man of his 50 has been lost, and the only misfortune he has experienced is one of his men's receiving a pistol shot wound, which is cured. But enough of Don Julian; it would be endless to recount all his exploits. This is certain, that if he meets with no misfortune he alone is enough to despatch all the Frenchmen there are in Spain, for they are more afraid of him than of an army of 20,000 men."
In the New-York Spectator of Wednesday last, we observe "a report is in circulation, that another general embargo is in contemplation at Washington." And from other sources we hear that at New-York, the merchants are hastening to clear out their shipping, in fear that an embargo would soon be laid. We wish not to be premature in crimination, or anticipate any evil that we so heartily dread. Yet, while the interest of our country, and the nation's honour are jeopardized by factious and designing men, we should deem it criminal even to be silent. The people of these United States have for fifteen months experienced the horror and misery of an embargo, and now, when the door
of negotiation is unfortunately for a short time closed, will Americans, will New-England-men tamely submit to domestic oppression, and a military despotism? An evil so much to be deprecated, ought never to exist without an imperious necessity. And does this necessity exist? Can the government of this country devise no means of retaliation, but through the vitals of its own countrymen? We hope that Congress will never resort to a measure that involves so much of feeling, and so much distress.
From the New-York Commercial Advertiser of Friday last. LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. At a late hour last evening, arrived at this port, the ship Hercules, Captain Vose, in 31 days from Liverpool. By this arrival, we have received our regular files of London papers and Lloyd's Lists to the 19th of October. The leading articles will be found in our paper of this evening. Farther extracts shall be given hereafter.
Peace, it is said, was signed between France and Austria on the 3d of October, and it was added that Bonaparte was on his way to Paris. The passengers state that the Emperor of Austria has given up every part of his territory but Hungary and Bohemia. The new arrangement of the British ministry is nearly completed. Mr. Perceval succeeds the Duke of Portland as Prime Minister; Earl Bathurst succeeds Mr. Canning; and Dundas Saunders succeeds Lord Castlereagh.
A paper of the 14th of October, says, "The American ship Horace passed Elsinore on the 29th September, having on board Mr. John Quincy Adams, the newly appointed Minister to the Court of St. Petersburg from the United States. The Horace, notwithstanding the importance of her charge, was compelled by the Danish government to pay the Sound dues, before she was permitted to proceed on her voyage."
From a Montreal paper of November 6. It is to be hoped that the publick will now be satisfied that a road, direct from this to the head of the Connecticut river would give a supply of beef to this market, sufficient to reduce the price of that article one or two pence on the pound. It is pleasing to see between twenty and thirty fine American oxen lately come in through the Shipton road. If a further subscription were made for clearing that road, there remains not the least doubt but that it could be made passable for carriages; and then what advantages would be derived by every class of people, this place being only 230 miles from Portland; and 100 miles of that road, from the Connecticut river to Portland new turnpike; and from Portland to Boston only 112 miles. Forty miles of road is made on this side of the Canada line, and 21 from here to La Beauce.
