Foreign Intelligence,
By an arrival at New-York, from London. Dates to Oct. 21.
PETERSBURG, SEPT. 25.
THE Court Gazette of this day contains the following Ukase, or decree:—
"In virtue of the will of his Imperial Majesty, PAUL PETROWITZ, our Emperor and Master and our dear Father, who now sleeps in the house of GOD, we raise to the rank of Nobility, in the Russian Empire, Miss MARTHA MUFFIN FURJEW. The Senate will make out the Diploma, marked with the arms of her family, and bearing this device approved by our dear Father, The will of God is powerful even in weak things. The Diploma shall then be signed by us, and deposited in the archives of Russian Nobility."
HAMBURGH, OCT. 9.
The news of the Preliminaries of Peace being signed between England and France—which were circulated yesterday morning, and have been announced in our newspapers to day, have already produced here the greatest sensation, and we fear from this event, a great change in our commerce. It was in an extraordinary way, attended with danger, that we received this important intelligence on the 7th, tho' the post which would otherwise have brought it, has not yet arrived, and as the wind is contrary, it probably will not be here sooner than to-morrow night. The son of Sigismund Ruckert, one of our first merchants, was in London, when the signing of the Preliminaries was published there. Knowing that his father and family had a great stock of Coffee, Sugar, &c. he took two copies of the Extraordinary Court Gazette, and rode with the greatest dispatch to Yarmouth, but not finding a packet there to hire, he took an open fishing boat, and four men to row against the wind. Notwithstanding this he could not keep his course, and was driven among the ships stationed off Holland. They stopped him, and as he bro't them the agreeable news, shewed the Gazette, and told the reason of his adventurous voyage, they dismissed him immediately, and gave him every assistance to pursue his course. On the 7th, very early, he landed at Gluckstadt, took horses express, and arrived here exactly before Change time. He bro't the news to his father, who communicated it as a secret to his family and some intimate friends, who disposed of all their stores the very same day. After the Exchange they made the news public. This, doubtless, prevented a great loss to them, as every article is falling immensely. Coffee, for instance, which was sold on the 7th at 12-13d. Banco, was offered yesterday at 8-9d. Banco. Wheat has already fallen 150 per quarter last; and every thing in proportion.
COPENHAGEN, OCT. 3.
Our journal of yesterday, which may be considered as the official Court Gazette, contains the following remarkable notice: Nothing certain can yet be said in respect to Peace between us and England, but we hope, that our misunderstanding will very soon be settled. In this hope we are still more confirmed, as the Commander of our West-India troops is again inlisting recruits, to serve in those islands. Besides, several ships which have lain for some time past in our road, bound for the islands, have failed. The restitution of our colonies, will, doubtless, be one result of the negotiation, but the conditions, and other mutual demands are still a secret, and will not be made public until the whole negotiation is finished.
PARIS, OCT. 8.
RELIGION.
The First Consul has appointed Citizen Portalis to direct all affairs relative to the different forms of worship—to present the projects of laws, regulations, decrees and decisions—to act under the superintendence of the Consuls—to propose to the First Consul the individuals proper for Ministers, to examine the Pope's bulls, &c. before they are published in France.
DECREE OF THE 18th VENDE-MAIRE, OCT. 10.
Bonaparte, First Consul of the Republic, decrees:
Art. 1. Citizen Joseph Bonaparte, Counsellor of State, is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic at the Congress of Amiens.
2. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, is charged with the execution of the present decree.
The First Consul, (Signed) BONAPARTE.
Extracts from the Moniteur.
PARIS, OCT. 13.
Yesterday the signature of Peace between the FRENCH REPUBLIC and his Majesty the EMPEROR of all the RUSSIANS was announced by the discharge of sixty cannon.
Citizen Lauriston took the earliest opportunity of paying a visit to Lord Hawkesbury, Mr. Addington, and Lord St. Vincent; he dined with Ld. Hawkesbury. Mr. Addington said to him, "This is not an Ordinary Peace, it is a reconciliation between the two first nations in the world."
Lord St. Vincent said to Citizen Lauriston, "That he would immediately dispatch packets to every part of the world, to put a stop to hostilities; that the least delay might occasion the death of a great many men, and that civilized Europe had lost too many during this long war."
Citizen Lauriston was received with every mark of distinction, both by the government and the people.
The First Consul, on his part, has been impressed with a deep sense of the testimonies of esteem shown for him on this occasion by the English.
LONDON, OCT. 10.
Danish ships, with troops and merchandise, are preparing to sail from Copenhagen for the West-Indies to take possession of their Islands in that quarter, which the Court of London has now agreed to restore.
OCT. 13.
On Saturday about 400 persons celebrated the anniversary of Mr. Fox's election for Westminster. Mr. Fox gave the following toast:—"Success to the preliminaries of Peace; may they soon be followed by a Definitive Treaty—and by a cordial and lasting friendship between Great-Britain and France!"
TRIFLES.
Some of the transparencies exhibited in London, on the ratification of the Preliminaries of Peace, were of a singular nature, and afforded much merriment to the populace.
On that of a Glazier in Shore-ditch, were the following rhymes: "Let's drink their health by way of motto: Here's to Lord Hawkesbury and Monsieur Otto!"
As I approve the Peace in toto, May he that breaks it first, be shot-o." A transparency in a street in St. Ann's Parish, represented Mr. Pitt, the First Consul of France, Mr. Windham, and Joseph Bonaparte, dancing a Fandango, to a tune played on Union Bagpipes. John Bull appeared in a corner, with a purse in his hand, ready to pay the piper.
A house in Old Street, displayed a transparency, on one side of which was portrayed a quarter loaf, under which were the words, "I am coming down." By the side of the loaf appeared a pot of porter, well frothed, which was made to rejoin, "so am I."
ST. DOMINGO.
It is suspected that secret articles have been agreed to between Great-Britain and France, as well as the preliminaries announced to the public. The erection of an independent negro government in St. Domingo, has given uneasiness to many persons in this country. The pretensions of Toussaint must be offensive to Bonaparte; who will not suffer his authority to be despised. The policy of Britain and France, concurring in this point, it is believed Toussaint will be quickly made to feel that he is not independent of France. A great number of French troops are to be sent to St. Domingo. If necessary the French government is to be allowed to charter 70 English vessels. The expedition will be conducted so as to allow the black chief no warning. The force will consist of, at least, 20,000 men. It is reported Martinique will remain in our hands for a time as a pledge for the undertaking of this enterprize. It is, however, imagined that Toussaint will be afterwards employed on account of his influence with the blacks; perhaps under Rochambeau.
Citizen Vincent, Chef de Brigade, Director of Engineers at St. Domingo, has arrived at Paris. He has brought several letters from Toussaint Louverture, and an official copy of the constitution, which is presented for the approbation of the mother country. This project will be submitted in a few days to the discussion of the Council of State.
Domestic News.
ALEXANDRIA, November 30. Arrived, brig Neptune, Capt. Coleman, 40 days from Lisbon.
The following was handed by Mr. John Bulkeley, American Consul at Lisbon, to Capt. Coleman, for publication:
LISBON, OCT. 8, 1801. "By a letter from Cadiz, dated 11th August, it appears that the Spaniards had captured and carried into Algeciras five American vessels all richly laden; two of which belonging to Messrs. Willing and Francis, bound to Leghorn."
"By another letter dated Algeciras, the 21st Sept. the Spaniards had further captured the "Molly of Phila-
delphia," which they condemned, and the ship Perseverance , Capt. Knox, had been sent in there, tho' her destination was for Naples, with strict injunctions not to touch at Gibraltar."
Extract of a letter from Madrid, of the 25th of Sept. 1801.
"The King of Sweden has ordered an additional Marine force into the Mediterranean, to act against the pirates of Tripoli, and in the mean time, he has given instructions to his frigates now in that sea, to co-operate with the Americans."
"By a letter from Oporto, of the 3d Oct. information is received of the capture of the American ship Nancy, from London, bound there, by the row-boats upon the coast, and carried into Guarda, or some of the neighbouring ports. An American from Oporto to Boston, had likewise been taken."
The rumour spread on Saturday, of Spain having declared war against America, is without foundation. Capt. Coleman having no further information than what is contained in the above communication from Mr. Bulkeley, the principal part of the contents of which have been published some time since.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 2.
On Saturday last was launched the beautiful new ship SHEFFIELD, of 350 tons burthen. This ship, for materials, model and workmanship, it is said, is inferior to no merchantman in the port.
On the rapid increase of American navigation, we are induced to remark, that although the late European peace by affecting our carrying trade may tend to depreciate the value of the common description of shipping; yet, so long as our present commercial advantages and enterprising spirit remain, it may be presumed, that first rate merchantmen, by commanding a preference abroad as well as at home, will not remain idle for want of advantageous employment.
Citizen Pichon, the French Minister, has formally notified the Executive of the State of Maryland, of his appointing a Consul to reside in Baltimore.
By a letter from Aux-Cayes of the 28th October, last, we learn, that a lady, who owned an estate in that neighbourhood, and who had been obliged to leave it eight years ago, had returned, to the earnest solicitations of her blacks; and was much surprised to have delivered to her a great part of her plate and furniture, which the unfortunate creatures had carefully preserved.
The Santee Canal, opening a communication between the Santee and Cooper rivers, after eight years of labour, was finished last summer, and toll first taken at the locks on the beginning of October last. It receives boats of 56 feet in length, and 9 in breadth, not drawing more than 2 feet, 10 inches of water.

Extract of a letter from a respectable House, in Liverpool, to their Connections in this town, Dated October 30.
"Cotton which advanced 2d. a 4d. pr. lb. in a few days after the preliminaries of peace were signed, has since become very languid, and purchasers have almost entirely disappeared; holders in consequence have sold 1d. pr. lb. lower than the prices were be-
fore the signing of the preliminaries. This disposition to sell is increased by a fear which universally prevails, of an approaching scarcity of money."
"Coffee has fallen in London, 20s. a 25s per cwt. Sugar has not varied more than 2s a 4s."
"Accounts from Hambro' say, prices of West-India produce would not decline much there if the holders in this country would keep them up, but the want of money will oblige many to force the market, which consequently will bring down the prices."
"New-York 1st Pot Atches were yesterday sold at auction at 26s. but they were much crufted. 30s may be had for a good parcel. Pearl's were at the same time sold for 46s. a 47s 6d. 1st fort."
"Timber from the Baltic has been offered for freight and charges."
"Of Naval Stores the prices are difficult to ascertain; there is not much Tar or Turpentine in the market, but the former is daily arriving; and as part of the Government Stores which are very heavy, are likely to be sold before long, we may expect to see every article of Naval Stores reduced to peace prices."
"The Lords of the Treasury have ordered the Collectors of the Customs to suspend the collection of Convoy Duty; and that which has been paid since the 1st October will of course be refunded."
"The Act granting permission to his Majesty in Council to authorise the importation of West-India produce from America, ceases in six weeks from the meeting of parliament."
"Parliament met yesterday; we may therefore shortly expect to be able to inform you on what footing our commercial intercourse with France will be admitted."
Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, to a commercial house in Philadelphia, dated November 9.
"In consequence of an insurrection among some of the negroes, which was intended to be general, we cannot quote any prices, as every thing has been deranged, and all sales for the time, suspended. Since the embargo, however, business begins to look lively. In a few days we expect to see every thing in its regular channel. Flower is as low 8 dollars, and at that price but dull sale. We think it will not be up again. Pork 32 dollars; lard 55 fous; butter 30 to 33; cheese never a good article. Coffee is rather on the fall; we this day purchased first quality at 22, and think that in a few days, it will be down to 20. Sugar still keeps up."
SHIP BUILDING.
It will be pleasing to our ship owners, to learn, that in France, vessels are in great demand. Advices by the Ceres, arrived at Newyork from Bourdeaux, state, that there is a ready sale in the different ports of France for good vessels. And we are informed, that the ship Trumbull, lately purchased of the United States, was sold in Bourdeaux after the news of peace, for forty thousand dollars. She cost about 24,000.
Effects of Peace.
From a New-York Paper.
FEW events in the progress of Society, occasions greater agitation in the public mind, or more extensive changes in the state of property, than the cessation of war. These changes, from the extent and duration of the war now closed, will be more considerable than those which have been experienced on former occasions; and, although the whole mass of people in America are to feel the effects, yet the first and more immediate impression is made on the merchants. The general effect, every man of observation and reflection, can easily foresee; but the details and the degree of change, are not so readily ascertained.
It is an obvious remark, that the close of a war, withdraws a large part of the freight business from a neutral country—of course renders a part of its shipping useless. But the expectation of losing their shipping, should not induce the merchants to make precipitate sacrifices of their property. About the same quantity of shipping is always wanting among the merchants of all countries, considered as a body or society; and, although a war may drive business from one nation to another, yet peace removes the pressure, and business returns to its equilibrium.
The nations which have lost their shipping or withdrawn navigation, will resume it; and as they cannot supply themselves from their own ship yards, they must resort to foreigners, and purchase shipping for temporary exigencies. France, Spain, and Holland, will doubtless be purchasers of foreign ships, especially France; and the American merchant will find good markets abroad, for ships that would not bring two thirds their value at home.
As our merchants will lose much of their freight business, so their markets will be essentially varied. Great Britain will immediately be able to supply her own islands with salt provisions, from the government stores on hand, which will be sold at auction. Our trade to her islands will reduce its limited course, which will essentially affect the price of beef, pork, butter, and a number of smaller articles. Flour will feel a similar change. But the precise degree of reduction in the price will not be immediately settled—much depends on the supplies sent, from Europe to the West-Indies.
The business of the Mediterranean, as far as regards the purchase and sale of commodities, will not be varied in the same degree, as the West-India trade, except to Gibraltar, which will probably be greatly reduced.
The India trade will continue; but probably the British shipping in the eastern seas, will take from us some valuable freights.
The whale fishery, which was, in a great measure, discontinued by the interruption of our trade to France, will again revive; provided France should not impose heavy duties on the importation of oil. The cod fishery cannot be essentially affected.
Some of our staple commodities though they may suffer a temporary variation, will not ultimately fail of a market as good as usual—Pot and pearl atches, and Cottons, are so necessary to the support of the British manufactures, that the demand cannot be greatly lessened. Indeed the dry goods trade will remain nearly as usual, while the consumption is regular; some reduction of which may be calculated on, from the fall of our produce, and the consequent scarcity of cash. Tobacco may take a rise.
In proportion as the want of foreign markets shall reduce the price of labor, will be the reduction of lands, mechanical occupations and productions. This reduction cannot be less than 25 to 50 per cent.—At the same time, expenses of all kinds being diminished people will find the means of subsistence nearly as easy as before.—Salary men will be greatly relieved.
Egypt.
The following extract of a letter from a gentleman in the British army in Egypt, addressed to his friend in Belfast, contains some particulars which may be at once interesting and amusing to our readers.
"WE travel through plains of wheat and barley without meeting with an inclosure of a tree for many miles; we turn our horses into a barley or clover field, where they enjoy themselves without disturbance. The first six days march we travelled through a most fertile country in grain, which needs only to be thrown in the ground to produce a most plentiful crop. The Delta, which is on the other side of the Nile, is a most abundant country; the villages along the banks of the Nile have a pretty appearance at a distance; they are all raised on artificial eminences of mud and clay, to protect them from the overflowing of the Nile; but when you arrive at them they are nothing but an assemblage of miserable huts, generally built of mud, clay and straw, perfect abodes of misery and dirt, inferior to your worst Irish villages. Their inhabitants, the Arabs, are a savage race of people, whose hands are on every one, and every one bands upon them; the children of nine years old go naked, and the women cover themselves with a loose blue cotton vestment, which completely hides them from our sight.
When we enter a village the ladies scamper off with great precipitation, as if we were wild beasts come to devour them, and the children set up a terrible squalling, well pleased, no doubt when they can escape from us without the loss of a leg or an arm.
Recollecting the story of Master Jupiter and Miss Danae; I wander to a village with a handful of Paras (a small coin about the value of a halfpenny) and begin distributing my Paras among the little naked dingy savages; presently a mother with her little one advances with cautious and wary steps for her child, and finding that I don't bite her or her little one, she beckons to her female friends to advance, that I am a very quiet animal and generous of my paras, and that they may show their faces without reserve. Thus I obtain by innocent stealth a light of many a dingy and copper coloured complexion, in which there is nothing so pretty or agreeable; they have fine eyes of great expression, and their teeth are in general in both men and women very white; which probably arises from their simple mode of living, and the use of aliments that cannot hurt them. The Turkish soldiers principally live by plunder, and they shew no mercy to a Frenchman; not content with immolating every unfortunate Frenchman who falls before them, they carve and cut the fleshy part of their bodies with their immense sabres, and leave them a shocking spectacle of the rage of war.
A few mornings ago we performed a very near affair: an officer from the desert brought intelligence to a camp that a convoy of 2000 men and 500 camels were on their march from Alexandria to the Delta, for corn and provisions to supply that garrison, and that they were then about four miles from us crossing the desert. The cavalry and a strong detachment was immediately ordered to intercept them, and by an extraordinary and forced march of four hours came up with them. By reconnoitering them we found their force had been much exaggerated, and it appeared necessary for two regiments only to rush on. As our regiment was one of them, I had an opportunity of being witness to their prowess, which they were very glad to make to an English force (the only enemy in this country they receive any mercy from) having been much harassed in their route by a party of Bedouin Arabs, freebooters of the desert, and implacable enemies of the French; there were about 500 of them, part cavalry and part infantry, and about 100 mounted on dromedaries, part of a corps which the French found necessary to raise in this country; they are in fact camels, but a light species of them; they travel with great swiftness making a journey of 100 miles in a day, with a tolerable load; they are very tractable, will rise and lie down at the word of command, and do every thing our cavalry is capable of doing; it was a most laughable procession to an Englishman, but an important capture to our army, as it supplied it with a number of fine camels for the purpose of transporting our provisions, ammunition, and baggage. The plague is beginning to carry off some of our men at Aboukir, but it has not reached this army. Three days ago we had a specimen of the camp side wind, a hot poisonous wind of the desert, it was like wind that passed through a burning oven, it lasted about 6 hours, the thermometer rose to 125, some camels were killed by it, but it cannot be described.

LONDON, OCT. 4. The circular letter of Mons. C. Erskine to the French Bishops residing in England, accompanying the Pope's brief, is in substance as follows:
"His Holiness has not neglected to employ all possible means to preserve you in the possession of your see; but he has suffered the most lively regret in finding that the urgency of circumstances renders the resignation of the Bishops indispensable. It is necessary for the unity, the peace, and the re-establishment of the Catholic Religion in France. His Holiness charges me beside to assure you, my Lord, that he has, in the best manner that he could, recommended your person to the First Consul with design either of directing his view towards you in the nomination to the sees of the conscription, or at least to provide for your subsistence; and such, my Lord, is the desire of the Holy Father to contribute to your comfort in the best manner possible, that he will not neglect any favourable occasion of lightening the burthen which presses on you and of providing for your personal wants."
LONDON OCT. 21. The Courier de Londres, states, that there is an important secret article in the preliminaries of Peace, relative to the French Princes. Mr. Pinckney, the new American Minister to reside at Madrid, passed through Paris, and was introduced to the First Consul.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2. We are authorised from a respectable source to contradict the report received yesterday from Alexandria, of Spain having declared War against the United States. On the contrary the Court of Madrid is well disposed to harmonize with this Government.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 2. Four persons have been arrested at Savannah for passing counterfeit bank bills. They had a number of the Bank of North America of 20 dollars. of the U. S. Bank of 5, and of the Charleston branch of 20. Died in this city, in the week which ended on Sunday last, forty-seven, ten of whom died of consumptions.
Dec. 7. We learn that Capt. Valentine Morris, has gone on to Hampton Roads, to take command of the frigate President. Gideon Granger, Esq. Post-Master-General, and Thomas T. Tucker, Esq. Treasurer of the United States, arrived at Washington, on Friday last.
The celebrated Mammoth Cheese, intended as a present from the Ladies of Cheshire to the President of the United States, arrived at this port yesterday on its way to the city of Washington. It is 13 feet in circumference, 18 inches thick, and weighs upwards of twelve hundred pounds. Five hundred dollars were offered for it by a Gentleman in Cheshire, and refused.
TRENTON, December 1. Colonel Shinn, a democrat, one of the youngest colonels of the 1st division of Infantry, has been appointed by our democratic legislature, a Major General, over the heads of the federal Brigadier Generals!
BOSTON, Dec. 12. FROM EUROPE.
There are no later prints from London, than those of the date of Oct. 21, of which the material articles of intelligence have been anticipated. The rapid progress of a general Pacification in Europe, has restored Peace to Portugal, and a definitive bond of union between Russia and France; Turkey it is also said, will succeed in a favourable negotiation with France. These events, which, to the cause of humanity, are highly auspicious, induce a belief, that ere the commencement of a new year.
Janus will shut his temple door And bellowing Mars no longer roar.
Improvement in the Arts. Of all the Arts, few concern so great a portion of society, as the art of weighing; and an improvement in this was last week witnessed on Foster's Wharf, in this town, which must give pleasure to every friend of inventions calculated for reducing labor. Sixteen pieces of ordnance, (one of which weighed nearly 8000 pounds) were easily suspended, and accurately weighed with Mr. Dearborn's Patent STEELYARDS. The whole apparatus for this purpose is so compact, that two men with a hand-cart may transport it to any part of the town;—whereas upwards of 130 fifty-fives would have been necessary for the operation in the usual mode; all of which must have been twice handled for weighing a single piece, if scale-
beams could be found sufficiently strong for the purpose. As this instrument is obtaining a general use in the stores, it is probable that its accuracy and convenience will be productive of a handsome emolument to the proprietor.
COMMERCIAL. By the prices-current, at Liverpool, the 26th October, it appears, that the prices of American produce had greatly diminished at that place, in consequence of the peace:—Pot. Ashes 30s. to 32s.—Pearl do. 50s. to 52s.—Tar 24s.—Flour 33 to 35s.—Flaxseed 49s.—Cotton, Georgia short, 18d. to 20; Sea-Island 30 to 37d.—Staves, barrel, R. O. 70s. bhd. 105s.—Oak Timber 30d.—Pine Boards 28d.
The Virginians are seriously alarmed for their safety. The slaves once more seem disposed to give their Masters a practical lesson upon the doctrines of Liberty and Equality. This was to be expected. Bristol first preached these doctrines, for the benefit of the West-India slaves; and we well remember in what manner they understood them.
UNITED STATES AND SPAIN.
The source of the report of a declaration of war against the United States by Spain, may be found under the Virginia head. She continues to capture and condemn our vessels; but has not made an open declaration of war.
William Stephens, Esq. is appointed Judge of the District Court in Georgia.
FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE.
On Monday last an election for a Representative to Congress was held in the First Eastern District. A letter from Pownalboro', gives the following towns, viz.
   Cook. Kinsey. Scatt.     Pownalboro', 130 0 2   Edgecombe, 30 1 0   Brookbay, 18 0 0   Woolwich, 26 0 4   204 1 6  
APPOINTMENTS.
Gen. John Heard, Marshal of New-Jersey, in the room of Thomas Lawrey, one of the minority turned out.
Capt. James Nicholson, (formerly a sea Captain and father in law to Mr. Gallatin) Commissioner of Loans for the State of New-York, in the room of M. Clarkson, Esq. resigned.
The late Governor of Havanna has arrived at New-York.
CARRYING TRADE.
A letter from L ght to pay , dated October 30th, states the "The act granting permission for the importation of West India produce from the United States, ceases in six weeks from the meeting of Parliament (which time will expire about the 10th December)" It is not probable this permission will be renewed, and thus this valuable branch of the Carrying-trade will be amongst the foremost lopped off by the peace.
It is somewhat singular, that not one Frenchman has been concerned in the negotiation of peace between France and Great-Britain. The preliminaries were signed by M. Otto, a Swiss; ratified by Bonaparte, a Corsican; and communicated to the Court of London, by Gen. Lauriston, an East-Indian.
FRENCH STAMP ACT. All the Paris papers are subject to a duty, and bear the stamp of the Republic thereon;—an additional duty has lately been imposed by the Consuls. The present duty is from 3 to 5 centimes, according to the size of the paper.
The scrutiny lately set on foot at New-York, on the election of an Alderman, has terminated in favour of the federal candidate.
A democratic Mayor has recently been chosen in Philadelphia. In imitation of his superiors, he has turned out the Solicitor of the Corporation, four City Commissioners, the Head Constable, and three Clerks of the Market, being all the offices in his gift, and has appointed good democrats in their room. This is making thorough-work; and may furnish subject for comment at a future day.
Dec. 14.
FIRE! On Saturday evening, the inhabitants of this town were alarmed by the cry of Fire, which proved to have originated in a store on Goldsbury's-Wharf, and occupied in part by Messrs. Piper & Lillie, merchants, and a Mr. Dillaway, joiner; the flames had gained such an ascendancy before they were discovered, as to mock for a considerable time, the united and spirited
exertions of a vast concourse of citizens, to extinguish them; besides this store, a cooper's shop, occupied by Messrs. How and Tower; a blacksmith's shop, several smaller buildings, and about 100 cords of Wood, laying on an adjoining Wharf, the property of Mr. Peter Bignell, of Maine, were entirely consumed. The principal sufferers, in point of property, are Messrs. Piper, Lillie and Bignell; a Mr. Bailey, of Charlestown, we understand was severely bruised by the fall of a chimney. To the spirited and unwearied exertions of the citizens, which was continued until 4 o'clock in the morning, is to be attributed the safety of the range of wooden buildings on Gardner's wharf, several vessels in the Dock, and other valuable property, contiguous to the scene of desolation. Much credit is also due to the inhabitants of the neighboring towns, who were present, at an early hour, to afford assistance and relief. We observed the Charlestown, Cambridge and Roxbury engines, on the spot, and in constant play.
HANOVER, Dec. 5.
THE SMALL POX, We understand, is spreading in Chesterfield and in Putney, Ver.—some say it is at Keene, in this State.
Description of Ceylon, ceded to the British by the late Treaty of Peace.
THIS island tho' not the largest, is thought to be by nature the richest and finest island in the world. It is situated in the Indian ocean near Cape Concorin: the southern extremity of the hither peninsula of India, being separated from the coast of Coromandel by a narrow strait, and is 250 miles long, and 200 broad. The natives call it (with some few of reason) the terrestrial paradise—and it produces besides excellent fruits of all kinds—long Pepper, fine Cotton, Lead, Ivory, Silk, Tobacco, Ebony, Musk, Crystal, Saltpetre, Sulphur, Iron, Steel, and Copper, Cinnamon, Gold and Silver, and all kinds of precious stone, except Diamonds. All kinds of fowl and fish abound here—every part of the island is well wooded and watered—and besides some animals peculiar to itself, it has plenty of Cows, Buffaloes, Goats, Hogs, Deer, Hares and other quadrupeds. The Ceylon Elephant is preferred to all others, especially if spotted; but several noxious animals such as Serpents and Ants are likewise found here. The chief commodity of the island is its Cinnamon, by far the best in all Asia. In 1656 the Dutch were invited by the natives of this delicious island, to defend them against the Portuguese whom they expelled and monopolized the island to themselves. In January 1782 it was taken by the English, and retaken by the French, and by the peace of 1783 restored to the Dutch; and in the last war again retaken by the English, and by King Bonaparte the First, ceded to the British together with Trinidad. [John Bull, is not altogether unmindful of property.] It also contains excellent harbours, and has one the finest and largest in the world.
Trinidad—lies between the island of Tobago and the Spanish main; and is about 90 miles long, and 60 broad; it is said to be unhealthy, but a very fruitful soil—its products are Sugar, Tobacco, Indigo, Ginger, Cotton, Indian Corn, and a great variety of fruit, and capable of producing anything raised in the West Indies. It was taken by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1595, and by the French in 1676, who plundered the island and extorted money from the inhabitants—since which it has been in the possession of the Spaniards until the last war, when it was taken by the British, and now ceded to them by King Bonaparte. It is much the largest of the windward islands, and is nearly as big as Martinico and Guadalupe both together; and much more fertile.
PORTSMOUTH, December 15.
Mr. Clark, of Montreal has gathered 8000 bundles of Hemp of his own culture, this year; each bundle it is conjectured will produce one pound of clear hemp—a sample of this has been sent to York dressed; it is fine, light coloured and measures eight feet in length. Canada Gaz.
DIVORCEMENT.
THE process for obtaining a divorce, according to the late laws of England, is both tedious and expensive. Matters of this kind are settled among the Jews in a summary way. The parties go into the synagogue, each attended by two priests, and having stated their objections to each other, the woman is asked if she be willing to part with her husband? and on her answering in the affirmative, they spit in each others face, the man throws the Bill of Divorcement at his wife, and she receives it; upon which they jointly exclaim—"Cursed be they
who shall wish to bring us together again." And thus the business concludes.
George W. Erving, Esq has been accepted as American Consul at the port of London.
Marine Intelligence.
Charleston, Nov. 18. In lat. 32, 35, long. 79, 3. Capt. Paine, of the schr. Galetta, spoke a brig from the bay of Honduras, bound to Salem, out 20 days, short of provisions. Capt. P. divided his flock of provisions, and gave the greater part to them; being in the latitude of the bar, the wind to the southward, and in the eastern edge of the gulph stream, was in so great a hurry to dispatch the brig's boat, for fear of getting to the northward of the bar, that the name of the captain or brig was neglected to be taken down. The mate informed Capt. P. that they had experienced a tremendous gale of wind, coming through the gulph, which lasted without intermission from Sunday until the Friday following, and being obliged to carry sail to keep off the Florida shore, their sails had been entirely blown to pieces; that they had spoke with a vessel, which had foundered in the gale; that they expected a number of vessels were lost on the Florida shore in the gale, as they had seen a number of vessels in distress, but owing to their own distressed situation, could not render them any assistance. The brig had all her after sails unbent, and they were trying to mend them.

THE Printer of the
Gazette once more calls in the most serious manner on all persons indebted to him above one year, and most earnestly solicits, them to make payment without farther delay—bills are made out, and by custom ought to be settled once a year—yet many have remained so long unsettled as almost to claim notice by law.
