SCHOOL FOR THE French Language.
SEVERAL of the subscriber's friends have intimated a desire that he would open a School for the purpose more particularly of teaching the French Language Grammaticaly.
The advantages resulting from the knowledge of that language, are two numerous and obvious to need a particular detail.
The learned and the polished in Europe have considered ignorance of that language as marking a defect of genteel Education. In the United States, now grown into a great Commercial nation the ability of corresponding in French must be valuable, even in cases where profitable acquisitions are preferred to means of knowledge, and to accomplishment merely elegant and ornamental, and the Language may doubtless be acquired to an improvable extent while children are going on in the common branches of learning; and that not with less, but with more advantage.
They will improve better in their own language, and in grammar, by learning French than by being confined wholly to English as the judicious will readily perceive.
Writing, Arithmetic and Geography, will also be taught, some knowledge of the Terrasque Globe, its divisions and inhabitants is requisite for reading with understanding, and profit either the sacred, or profane history, or even the news of the day. Maps will be provided that the teacher may accompany the pupil in travelling round the world at a small expense.
The School will be opened soon if sufficient encouragement shall appear.

She could lay much on the advantage of every person's putting themselves in her way. Many who were peculiar favorites, were left (seemingly) unnoticed in the last Class, as they became adventurers on her beneficence, at the eleventh hour, when her favors were all engaged.—But for this Class they remain Free. And she invites all to come, and put themselves, in the probable way of receiving her gifts; and as it is her wish to accommodate all, she will for the present reside under the right hand gallery in the Book-Store of Mr. C.

PARIS, MARCH 3, 1806.
The Legislative Assembly met yesterday.—Discharges of artillery announced His Majesty's approach to open the session. The President and twenty-five Members received him at the outer-door, and conducted him to his apartments, where, after taking refreshment, a procession was formed, composed of the Officers and Grand Dignitaries of the Empire, the Court, the Military Staff, and His Majesty's civil Household. When the procession arrived in the Hall of Sittings, all the Members rose. Prince Louis, and the Princes Grand Dignitaries, were on the right and left of the throne; as were the Ministers and Grand Officers. The Empress, accompanied by the Princesses, her sisters, and the Prince Royal of Bavaria, had arrived before His Majesty, and was seated in an armed chair, near the statue.—She was received with shouts, of 'Live the Empress.' When His Majesty ascended the throne, the Empress, and all the Members, &c. stood up, and the Hall resounded with 'Long live the Emperor.' The Arch-Chancellor administered the oaths of allegiance to several new Members;—when The Emperor arose, and made the following SPEECH:
SPEECH:
GENTLEMEN, The Deputies from the Departments to the Legislative Body; Gentlemen, the Tribunes; and the Members of my Council of State.
"Since your last session, the greatest part of Europe has entered into a coalition with England. My armies have never ceased to conquer, except when I ordered them to combat no longer. I have avenged the rights of the feeble States, oppressed by the strong. My allies have increased in power and consequence. My enemies have been humbled and confounded; the house of Naples has irrecoverably lost its crown; the whole of the peninsula of Italy forms a part of the great empire. I, as supreme head, have guaranteed the sovereign, and the constitutions that govern the different departments.
"Russia only owns the return of the wreck of her army to the advantages of the capitulation which I granted it. Able to have overturned the imperial throne of Austria, I have re-established it. The conduct of the cabinet of Vienna will be such as will prevent posterity from reproaching me for any want of foresight. I have yielded an entire confidence to the protestations which have been made to me by its sovereign. Besides, the high destinies of my crown do not depend upon the sentiments and dispositions of foreign courts.—My people will always support my throne against all the efforts of hatred and jealousy; no sacrifice will be painful to them to secure that first interest of the country.
"Bred in camps, and in camps that have been always triumphant, I ought to acknowledge, that, in the late events, my soldiers have exceeded my expectations. It is pleasant also for me to declare, that my people have also fulfilled the extent of their duties. In the heart of Moravia, I never ceased, for an instant, to experience the effects of their love and enthusiasm. Never have they given me any marks of their attachment, which have penetrated my heart with sweeter emotions.
"Frenchmen! I have not been deceived in my hopes. Your love, more than the extent and the riches of your territory, constitute my glory. Magistrates, clergy, citizens, all have shown themselves worthy of the high destinies of that admirable France, which, for two ages past, has been the object of the leagues, and the jealousies of its neighbours.
"My Minister of the Interior will inform you of the events which have taken place in the course of the year. My Council of State will lay before you plans of laws, to ameliorate the different branches of the administration. My Ministers of Finance, and of the Public Treasury, will lay before you the accounts which they have presented unto me. You will perceive by them the prosperous state of our finances. Since my return, I have been incessantly occupied in giving to the administration, that spring and activity, which gave life to the extremities of this empire.
"My people will have no new burdens to bear, but new plans will be
proposed to you respecting the system of the finances, the bases of which were established last year. I intend to diminish the immediate impositions which bear upon the territory alone, and to replace a part of these charges by indirect duties.
"Through the elements, we have lost some ships, after an engagement imprudently undertaken. I cannot praise too much the greatness of soul, and the attachment which the king of Spain has shown in these circumstances for the common cause. I wish for peace with England. On my part it shall never be retarded for a moment. I shall always be ready to conclude it, in adopting, for its basis, the stipulations of the treaty of Amiens.
"Gentlemen, Deputies to the Legislative Body, the attachment you have shown to me, the manner in which you have seconded me in your late sittings, leave me no doubt of your assistance. Nothing shall be proposed to you, but that which is necessary to guarantee the glory and safety of my people."
GERMANY. VIENNA, FEB. 5. The Archduke Charles is appointed Generalissimo of all the Austrian Forces; and is taking measures to place the army on the most respectable footing.
The French still have near 100,000 men, on the German side of the Rhine, extending from Westphalia to the Upper Palatinate.
PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MARCH 1. A convention has been signed between this Court and France, by which some alterations are to take place in Germany. Prussia cedes to France, Neufchatel and Valengin; to Bavaria, the Principality of Anspach; Padenburg to Hesse Cassel; & Cleves to the Archduke Ferdinand. Prussia gains Hanover from France; the county of Schauenburg, with the districts of Wetchte, Freudenberg, and Aufburg, from Hesse Cassel.
The Elector of Hesse Cassel is to assume the title of King of the Batt, and to receive several districts from his neighbours. These changes are all dictated by the great arbiter of the Continent—Bonaparte.
Anspach has been taken possession of by 3000 French troops, in the name of the new King of Bavaria.
LONDON, MARCH 15.
Last night Mr. Prince brought before the House of Commons a most important fact, long overlooked, viz that while this country is at the expense of conquering and defending India—nay, while the national finances probably may be burdened by the Company's debts, a part of the commerce of British India, exceeding that of the Company, is carried on by neutrals, either by treaty or connivance, while British capital and British subjects are excluded from the advantage of the trade, which it is notorious the Company cannot carry on. This question acquires nothing more than attention on the part of the public, to make the proper impression.
THE INVASION.
We have lately had occasion to mention the renewed activity of the enemy at Boulogne and its neighbourhood. By letters which reached us yesterday from our squadron off that coast, by the Diligence, arrived at Dover, we find, that during the last week several prams and luggers came out of the harbour, and formed a line, at their old anchorage, under protection of their batteries. It is added, that these vessels appear to have been newly rigged, and generally repaired.—Should such be the fact, it bespeaks a disposition, on the part of Bonaparte, to employ them on efficient service, because his rotten craft would answer equally well to keep up the threat of invasion, or make any demonstration necessary to excite alarm here, without incurring the vast expence of their re-fit, or withdrawing from his other naval equipments, stores of which he is in want.
The number of troops at Boulogne is daily increasing; but from the circumstance of their being continually under arms, they are supposed to be conscript only. It is understood on board our squadron, but on what authority we know not, that the army is to resume its position on the coast early in June, and that the long threatened and maniac project of invasion is to be attempted during that month.
Mr. Tierney is we understand, to be the new Governor of the Cape of Good Hope.

National Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, APRIL 18.
The House again resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill supplementary to the act fixing the naval peace establishment.
Much discussion took place on the details of this bill, and particularly on augmenting the number of officers beyond the number fixed by the act of 1801. Various motions were made to reject the parts of the bill having this effect, as well as make an appropriation for building frigates to replace the Philadelphia and General Greene; all of which were disagreed to—when the bill was read a third time.
Mr. Chandler spoke in favor of, and Messrs. J. Clay and J. Randolph against its passage, which was carried; Yeas 53—Nays 28.
SATURDAY, APRIL 19.
The House considered the message of the Senate, to amend the bill to carry into effect the treaty with the Chickasaw tribe of Indians, by striking out those sections which authorized a resort to military force to expel persons attempting to settle on certain lands in the Mississippi territory, without having received titles to the same from the U. States—and having disagreed to the amendment passed by the Senate—Yeas 53, Nays 55—resolved to adhere to their disagreement therefor.
A short time after a message was received from the Senate stating that they had resolved to adhere to their amendment. The bill was consequently lost.
The House went into a committee of the whole on the bill authorizing the settlement of the accounts of William Eaton.
This bill provides for the settlement of these accounts by the accounting officers of the treasury, under the direction of the secretary of state.
After much discussion the committee rose, and the bill was ordered to a third reading on Monday.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 21.
Our last paper contains an erroneous statement, into which we were led by an error in the Journal of the Senate from which we made an extract relative to the proceedings of that body on the bill to prohibit the importation of certain goods, wares, and merchandise.
In this statement the Yeas and Nays are given, as tho' they had been taken on the resolution offered by Mr. Tracy, whereas they were in fact taken on the motion of Mr. Tracy to postpone the bill, for the purpose of considering that resolution.—Nat. Int.
WASHINGTON, April 23.
THE two Houses of Congress brought their sittings to a close on Monday night about eleven o'clock, when an adjournment took place on the first Monday in December. The sitting on Monday was continued from ten o'clock in the morning, until eleven in the evening with only the intermission of one hour. Too much business was transacted to enable us to give a detail of it in this paper. The most important measures adopted were,
The passage of a bill for continuing until the end of the next session the Mediterranean fund, disconnected from the repeal of the salt tax, the Senate having adhered to their disagreement to the last object of the bill.
The passage of the naval peace establishment bill.
The passage of a bill for the temporary relief of Hamet Caramalli, allowing him 2,400 dollars.
The passage of the bill for the payment of all the witnesses summoned on the trial of Judge Chase—the House of Representatives having receded from their amendment.
The indefinite postponement of the report of the committee of enquiry on the official conduct of Gideon Granger, Post Master General.
But that business which excited most attention, mingled with, perhaps, becoming warmth, was the presentation by Mr. Quincy of two memorials, one from Samuel G. Ogden, the other from William Smith, of the city of New York.
The memorials are very long, and give a minute detail of the circumstances alleged to have attended the expedition of Miranda; acknowledge the participation of the memorialists in the enterprise; and declare it to have been their impression that the expedition was countenanced by the implied sanction of the President and Secretary of State. The memorialists further complain of the unjust and illegal proceedings of the circuit court of New York. The memorials are couched in language uncommonly acrimonious, and ascribe to the public agents unworthy and impure motives.
At the reading of these memorials an interesting debate ensued, whose length forbids its insertion in this day's paper. We shall only, at present, attempt a brief sketch, referring its full detail for a future paper.
Mr. Lyon reprobated the title and contents of the petition, and moved that the petitioners should have leave to withdraw their petition.
Mr. Williams, of New York, inveighed in terms of strong indignation against the nature and tendency of the attempt. He pronounced it unprecedented, while a prosecution was caram-judice , for the accused to come forward, and attempt to wrest their case from a legal tribunal; declared his total disbelief of the charges exonerating the executive, and spoke with the greatest emphasis of the enormity of the effort of men thus situated to disseminate suspicion with
regard to the motives of the executive government, and laid it was ridiculous to imagine that any legislative enquiry could be made on the very last day of the session.
Mr. Quincy rose to explain. He said he deemed it his duty to present the memorial, disclaimed all intention to cast a censure on the administration; but he thought, considering the facts alleged by the memorialists, it was proper to make an enquiry; and added that from circumstances known to gentlemen on the floor, the executive had been advised of the firing out of the Leander time enough to have prevented her sailing.
Mr. Quincy was followed by Messrs. Smith and Rhea of Tennessee, who delivered opinions nearly the same with those of Mr. Williams.
Mr. Jackson rose, and pronounced the memorial a tissue of falsehoods and calumnies basely intended to defame the government, and denied that the executive had possessed the information stated by Mr. Quincy.
After a few remarks from Messrs. Mansford, Masters, and Bidwell, Mr. Early offered the following resolution.
Resolved, That the charges contained in the memorials of S. G. Ogden and William Smith, are in the opinion of this House, unsupported by any evidence which in the least degree criminate the executive government of this country—that the said memorials appear to have been presented at a time and under circumstances intentionally calculated to excite unjust suspicions in the minds of the good people of this nation against the existing administration of the general government—and that it would be highly improper in this House to take any step which might influence or prejudice a cause now depending in a legal tribunal of the U. S.—therefore, Resolved, that said memorials be by the Clerk of this House returned to those from whom they came.
Mr. Clark required the previous question, which was taken by Yeas and Nays on the several members of the resolution as divided by clauses—
On agreeing to the 1st member, the Yeas were 79—Nays 3. 2d ————— Yeas 70—Nays 13. 3d ————— Yeas 84—No Nays. Last ————— Yeas 71—Nays 14.
We shall not refrain from expressing our satisfaction at the completely abortive issue of this miserable attempt, viewed either relative to time or substance, to impair the confidence of the people in the purity of the motives and the fairness of the conduct of the Executive, and particularly of the President and Secretary of State. The object was undoubtedly to sow suspicion, to scatter misrepresentation, to cast a cloud over the fair fame of men whose names and services have become identified with republican principles. But the poison has been met by its antidote, and the blow menaced at them has recoiled with double, with overwhelming force on the heads of its authors. The attempt has extorted from the Representatives of the people a vote of confidence, almost unparalleled in the annals of legislative bodies—a vote of SEVENTY TO THIRTEEN.
[Nat. Int.]
BY THE MAILS.
We have, once or twice, suggested, that if Miranda was really intent upon going to the Caraccas, that he must have had the countenance of the late British ministry; among other articles, the following extract from the Charleston Courier of the 2d ult. is corroborative of the opinion:
"Captain Phillips from Havanna, informs us that intelligence had reached that place the day before he failed of the expedition under gen. Miranda, having left New-York; and had excited some apprehensions among the Americans. An embargo was talked of, and a 74 gun ship was ready for sea, having her sails bent. Intelligence had also been received, of the ship Leander's having been twice boarded by British cruisers—the first time in the Mona passage, when they stated that they were bound to St. Domingo, and were suffered to pass. The second time she was boarded, they made the same statement, but from the latitude in which she was, it was evident, that was not her destination, and the British commander proposed sending her into port, when the captain of the Leander produced his passports from the British government, and was suffered to proceed."
More of Miranda.—The Leander, captain Lewis, failed from New-York in February last, with general Miranda, a large quantity of regimental clothing, arms and accoutrements for 15 or 20,000 men—she cleared out for, and arrived at Jacquemel, about the first of March. On her passage she met with the British ship of war Cleopatra, who pressed 20 of the people on board, (as has been mentioned) all of whom are said to be English or Irish, and were without protections, in lieu of whom the Cleopatra put on board the Leander a number of Americans, whom they had taken out of what they called American prizes—most of these men were obliged to enter themselves on board the Leander, either by fair or foul means, if they would not volunteer they were pressed—two of them made their escape at Jacquemel, by swimming from the Leander, and got on board an American vessel, where they were pursued, but being hid, could not be found by the pursuers, when the Leander's officer said if he should hereafter find the vessel they were hid on board of, that he would press and take on board the
Leander, every man except the captain and would scuttle the vessel.
On the arrival of the Leander at Jacquemel, there was the appearance of the greatest secrecy, no one was admitted on board, nor not one, except capt. Lewis, permitted on shore, and he as soon as he landed, sat off to visit and report to the black emperor of Hayti at the new city of Dessalines, which is built in the mountains and strongly fortified, it being the determination of the Brigands, to burn all the towns on the sea board, should the French ever attempt to invade the island again, and defend themselves in the mountains to the last.
While admiral Lewis was on his visit to the emperor, the negroes at Jacquemel became very uneasy at the great secrecy observed by the Leander, and before his return sent a formal message to know their business, and made pretensions to attack the Leander should their ambassadors not be well received; but their messenger meeting a polite reception, and explanation given, their fears and anxiety subsided and all was quiet. After the return of admiral Lewis from head quarters, Miranda began to prepare, by enlisting men, of which he picked up a number of renegadoes, who called themselves Americans; but had sold this, as well as their native country, with nothing not to see their creditors again; like sergeant Kite, he listed them all for officers. Having mustered about 250 or 300 of these officers and 2 or 3 small additional vessels, he was to sail from Jacquemel on the 26th of March for Barcelona, on the Spanish main, near Cumana, where he expected to effect a landing and be joined by a large body of the inhabitants, for which purpose he has prepared a large number of proclamations to be distributed as soon as he can get footing or can send ashore on his arrival off the coast. We are told by a person who has seen one of those proclamations, that he invites his countrymen to join his standard, and that he would free them from their tyrannic master, would give to them liberty, &c. &c.—We have some hopes for being able to obtain a copy of the proclamation, which if we should accomplish, we will give a translation of it as soon as possible.

NEW-YORK, April 22.
Extract of a letter from the Post-Master at New-Orleans, to his Friend in this City, dated March 18th, 1806.
"Governor Folsom, who commands in Pensylvania and its dependencies, has forbidden Mr. White, the person who carries the Mobile mail to land or bring a mail by water thro' any of His Spanish Majesties Dominions. I waited on Gov. Claiborne who advised me not to send a mail by that route. If we are not permitted to carry our mail thro' the dominions of his majesty, we shall for a while be at great inconvenience, as our mail cannot go by land further than Point Coupee. You, as well as myself, know the situation of the country; however, I will do my best for the public good. You, may rest assured that the communication will not be stop. Please inform the merchants of Philadelphia of the same. I will write you by next mail if any thing should happen.—Mr. White arrived here on the 15th from Mobile."
[From the Salem Register.]
British Infatuation & Barbarity.
Extract of a letter from a Salem gentleman, at New-York, to his friend in this town, dated April 27, 1806.
"The Leander, a British 50 gun ship, is cruising off Sandy-Hook, and has taken, within these two days, several vessels and ordered them for Halifax. A sloop of 40 tons burthen, from the Delaware, was coming in on Friday afternoon—The Leander, then laying about one mile from the Light-house, fired at her, and she hove to; immediately a second and a third shot was fired, and the last killed the Mate, who was the Captain's brother. The sloop lay to for some minutes after—the Leander did not sea fit to board her, and she proceeded. The deceased was brought up to the city on Saturday morning, and the greater part of the inhabitants went to view the corpse. Complaint was lodged with the Grand Jury.—Complaint was also made to the British Consul, but he said he could do nothing about it. "A midshipman and Purser from the Leander, landed in town (about the same time that the deceased arrived,) for the purpose of procuring provisions—Had purchased a quantity to the amount of 4 or 5 dry loads, and hired a boat to carry them with it to the ship.—The inhabitants being exasperated at the violations of our laws, manned out a boat, stopped them near Staten-Island, brought them to the city, lent the provisions to the poor-house, amid the huzzas of the multitude, with the American Flag displayed on the first dray, and put the officers in a suitable place. "Since this affair, which is almost
equal to the Boston Massacre, the city has been in an uproar. Armed vessels were immediately dispatched to retake the vessels ordered for Halifax. The people volunteered their services, and crowded on board with the greatest avidity, to endeavor to foil those murderers of the ocean in their piratical plans."
"A meeting was held last evening, at the Tontine Coffee House, to take into consideration the above affair."
"P. S. Since writing the preceding I have been informed that they proceeded first with the drays, to the British Consul, erected a pole and hoisted the American Flag, with a British Jack underneath it, then hauled down the British flag and burnt it before the Consul's face. Fears were entertained last night of his safety.—The meeting last evening, was numerous and respectable, several speeches were made which were animated and violent, with severe reflections on our general government, for deserting the people, as they termed it. They concluded, with drafting a committee of five to remonstrate and petition to Congress. All classes of people felt red hot for any thing. To-morrow the deceased is to be carried into the church and buried under arms, with due honours."
Extract of another letter from the above gentleman, same date.
"The whole talk in the city, among all classes of people, at present, is, British aggressions and British murder."
The British Consul thought it prudent last evening to leave the city.
The deposition of Capt Peirce, master of the sloop, and master of a brig then in sight, was taken before the Mayor, and dispatches immediately forwarded to the President of the United States. The purser and midshipman of the Leander, are on parole, with bonds from their Consul for appearance.
A boat with six men, belonging to the Leander, was this day seized and brought to town.
At the meeting at the Tontine, they approved of the conduct of the people in seizing the provisions."

IN COMMON COUNCIL.
April 26, 1806.
The mayor laid before the Common Council two affidavits respecting the atrocious conduct of the British in murdering John Peirce, one of our fellow citizens, while on board the sloop Richard, one of our coasting vessels, near Sandy Hook—and also in violating the jurisdictional rights of the United States.
Therefore, Resolved, that in testimony of the lively indignation which this board feels respecting the atrocious murder of a citizen of the United States, and this daring aggression upon our national rights, that the said JOHN PEIRCE be interred, with the effect of his relatives, at the public expence, on Monday next at 12 o'clock, at Aldermen Fairlie, Mott and Mr. John D. Miller, be a committee to make the necessary arrangements on this occasion, that this board will attend the funeral in a body, that all the Captains of American vessels in the harbor be requested to hoist their colours half mast on that day, that the bells be tolled during the solemnity, and that our fellow citizens generally be invited to unite with us on this melancholy occasion.
The Mayor having informed the Common Council that he had immediately communicated to the President of the United States a statement of the improper conduct of the British ships of war off our port,
Resolved, That the board approve of the Mayor's prompt attention to the interests of our city, and that he be requested to obtain such further information as may be practicable respecting illegal captures, imprisonments and detentions off our port by the said ships, and to transmit the same to the national executive in full confidence that proper measures will be adopted for the vindication of our national honour and interests.
By the Common Council, T. WORTMAN, City Clerk.

COUNTERFEIT BILLS—AGAIN.
In addition to the list, lately published on a sheet, Messrs. Gilbert and Dean have just handed the following:
Within a few days, discovery has been made of counterfeit five dollar bills of Norwich Bank, of the late impression, viz, those with letters passing through the bill; they are rather badly executed, particularly in the penmanship—the true ones bear date June 10, 1803; the counterfeit is dated March —, 1805.
Fifty dollar bills of the Exchange Bank, at Providence, are in circulation, counterfeit, being altered from smaller ones, and very well done—they bear, however a light-house on the left hand, which the true ones has not.
Counterfeit Five Dollar bills of Providence Bank, have also recently got into circulation, signed John Innes Clark, President—Olney Winfor, Cashier, dated Jan. 9, 1805, and payable to T. Jefferson—signatures rather better executed than the genuine—In the word five in large capital letters across the bill, the I completely covers the small letter i in the word five, in the second line from top; but in the genuine ones, is only covered in part.—Impression generally fainter than the true ones.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1806.
European news to the 15th of March has been received here. The treaty of France with Prussia secures and confirms the peace and confirms the peace of the Continent, under even common management, for a century at least. The importance of this most brilliant and useful event, cannot be two highly appreciated by every friend of humanity. It is now about one hundred and fifty years since the first coalition against France was signed in Europe at that time called the triple alliance, to defend the protestant religion against the fanaticism of Lewis XIV. The war in consequence, soon commenced under the auspices of William III, a Dutchman, who had not half so good a title to the crown of England, as Bonaparte has to the crown of France; and yet in England this man was styled a glorious deliverer of three kingdoms, although in fact he was nothing more nor less than an ambitious usurper! While the first monarch in the world, who was chosen by the written votes of a whole people, is stigmatized by every opprobrious epithet, as if the French had not as good a right to elect their first magistrate as the English, Scotch, or any other nation.
The constitution of France is a democratic royalty, or an imperial democracy, according to the plan of Abbe Seyès, taken from a most portentous pigeon hole in his beauveau. The Abbe and Mirabeau, La Fayette, Talleyrand, Roland and Brissot were all in favor of this kind of government for the French nation; Paine, Barlow, Robespierre, with several others, thought a more democratic or republican form was preferable. Ten years since, the Abbe gave a challenge to the great American revolutionist to discuss the merits of this project in "fair literary contest." Those who with instruction, are referred to Doctor Price, Paine's Rights of Man, Burk's philippics, and Mackintosh on the French revolution, for complete information.
What shall we say of the Emperor of all the Russias, after all his wonderful efforts to conquer France, with which we were dined to death in the federal papers about four months since? Now we find by his own account, that he had in his whole army no more than fifty thousand men at the battle of Austerlitz, and these with his other animals half famished in the fertile fields of Moravia! Such stuff cannot impregnate even the most doting federalist, when it is well known that this very Emperor had a whole year to prepare for the war, and the French one month only. If this be true, the vaunting of Alexander in time to come will make no impression.
Bonaparte, like the old Roman, may now say to the king and queen of Naples—"I am the first of my family, and you the last of yours."
Since the new ministry came into power, in England, not a single warlike measure has been adopted.
We congratulate the public, that the cool but determined measures of Mr. Jefferson, have already effected the liberation of our poor kidnapped seamen from their British prisons.
If there had been as many frigates in the American seas as we could afford, without destroying the funding system, by alienating the import to defend our harbors, they could not prevent the horrid murder which has been perpetrated in New-York, by the captain and crew of a British armed ship, which is here to day and gone to-morrow. Chronicle.
At the Circuit Court of the United States, held at New-Haven last week, by Mr. Edwards, District Judge, (Judge Patterson being absent) the Grand Jury, William Van Dusen foreman, found a bill against the Hon. Tapping Reeve, one of the judges of the Superior Court in this State. It is said that the charge is for a libel on President Jefferson.
A bill was also found against Mr. Thaddeus Osgood, a Clergyman, for sedition in uttering sentiments against Mr. Jefferson, in a sermon preached in November last, on Thanksgiving day. On this indictment he was arrested, and committed to gaol in New-Haven.
A bill was also found against Mr. Thomas Collier, of Litchfield, editor of "The Monitor," for publishing an extract from a New-York paper, regarding the President. Connecticut paper, dated April 23.
Dominick Daley, and James Halligan, who were confined at Northampton, for the murder of Marcus Lyon, of Wilbraham, in Nov. last, have been convicted, and sentenced to death.—One Busby, an Irishman, and a Mrs. Ellis, suspected of being concerned in the murder of Mr. Ellis, at Northampton, in march last, have been tried and acquitted. Centinel.

From the New-York, Watch Tower. The Murdered Pierce.
That which has long been anticipated by the Republicans has, at length, unhappily occurred. From INSULT "His Majesty's Ships at the Hook, within our very waters," have proceeded to MURDER! The British government—British theory—British practice—British justice—British magnanimity—and British valour, have been the everlasting themes of FEDERAL eulogy. When British ships of war have before done within the Hook—impressed our seamen—insulted our country, and violated its laws, who have CARED the very officers that have committed these outrages? The FEDERALISTS! When during the reign of John Adams, Capt. Jessup was stopped on the high seas, visited by a British Lieutenant and his gang and, on the quarter deck of his own ship, was stripped, tied up, and deliberately, cruelly, and inhumanly FLOGGED, who were the apologists of the degrading and atrocious act? The FEDERALISTS! Captain Jessup appealed to his country, appealed to his government for justice, and, on oath, recited the humiliating fact. And what was the consequence?—Why, Timothy Pickering, a FEDERALIST, John Adams' Secretary of State, wrote to the miscreant who had FLOGGED the American Captain, on his American ship, procured from him a half-way denial of the FLOGGING, and then declared, OFFICIALLY, that the declaration of the BRITISH OFFICER was to be believed before the OATH of an AMERICAN CAPTAIN! Are not these things remembered? Can they ever be forgotten?
Well: what has been the more recent conduct of the federalists? How long is it since the Leander where officers have now committed the HORRID MURDER? My readers will recollect that the Leander, the Driver sloop of war, &c. were at the Hook in June, July, and August of 1804, and that then, in our own waters, they insulted our independence—violated the laws of the United States—resisted the authority of the Marshal in serving process, and heaped upon us contempt upon contempt. Who INVITED these pirates hither then? NEILSON, an OLD TORY, but a MODERN FEDERALIST—Neilson, yes, that very NEILSON who in the year 1800, KICKT the virtuous CODDINGTON, the Cartman, out of his counting room because he would not promise to vote for the FEDERAL TICKET! This man, this Neilson, a TORY and a FEDERALIST, wrote to the British Consul URGING him to order the Leander, the Driver sloop of war, &c. on our coast: they accordingly came. Read Neilson's letter to the British Consul. Read it attentively. Here it is.
"New-York, 11th May, 1804. Thomas Barclay, Esq. SIR—We deem it proper to inform you that there is a French cruiser on the coast of Georgia and Carolina, committing great havoc on the British commerce; she hath lately taken two vessels, insured in this office; the last the brig Chance, from Jamaica, for Charleston. Should Capt. Douglass be bound to the southward, he would do a very meritorious act in looking after this vessel, for, should she be permitted to continue on that station, she will entirely destroy that branch of your trade. "We are, sir, "Your most ob't humble servants, "The Marine Ins. Com. of N. York. "By Wm. Neilson, President."
Such is Neilson's letter to the British Consul!
In consequence of this letter, the British consul ordered the Leander, the Driver, &c. to the Hook, where they immediately began their system of protection; that is to say, the impressment of our seamen—the infraction of our laws—the plunder of our property.
How came these same vessels hither now?—We see that in 1804, they were invited, secretly and treacherously invited, by NEILSON, a man of great consideration in the FEDERAL PARTY. Are they now invited, as they were before invited to our harbour, by men of distinction in the FEDERAL PARTY? What would the secret papers of the British Consul say if they were examined? Would they divulge another treason? Would they expose ANOTHER FEDERALIST? Would they expose a combination of federalists? Would they evince that in the FEDERAL PARTY there are THOUSANDS more attached to KING GEORGE, their standing host, than to the Government of OUR COUNTRY?
Again. This letter of Neilson was not, it seems, the only one written INVITING the British ships to our coast.
More insult was meditated—more treason was hatched—more degradation was planned—All this was acknowledged by the British Consul in an unguarded moment. The Mayor had remonstrated to him against the OUT-RAGES OF BRITISH VESSELS, and to his remonstrances, the British Consul wrote the following letter. Extract of a letter from Col. Barclay to the Mayor of this city.
"I am, however, apprehensive that captain Bradley, the officer commanding his majesty's ships of war, will not feel himself authorised to comply with any requisition either from Mr. Merry or myself respecting his remaining a moment in this port after the wind will admit of his departure, because his orders from Vice Admiral Sir Andrew Mitchell direct him to proceed from hence, on the delivery of his dispatches, on a cruise for the protection of the trade not only of his majesty's subjects but of that of the people of these states, and which has lately suffered much from the depredations of several French privateers on this coast. I am led to believe the admiral was induced to send these ships for the above purpose in consequence of my having transmitted to him, the copy of a letter I lately received from the President of the Marine Insurance Company, (Mr. Neilson) stating the injury the American commerce had sustained from these predatory corsairs, and REQUESTING that measures might be taken to protect the American as well as British commerce, from further losses."
Mayor's Office, 4th Sept. 1804. I do hereby certify that the above is a true extract of an official letter from Thomas Barclay, Esq. Consul General of his Britannic Majesty, to the Mayor of this city, dated 18th day of June last, and now on file in this office. I. J. DEROSE, Clk.
This letter needs no comment. It states expressly that the British Admiral would not have sent the detachment to our coast had he not been requested to do so by FEDERAL MERCHANTS!
From the same. RUFUS KING AND OTHERS.
For several years past every Captain of a British packet, every Captain of a British vessel of war, Lieutenant or other naval officer, if only British, who arrived in our harbor, invariably dined, or supped, or danced, at the house of Mr. King, Mr. Church, Mr. Woolsey, Mr. Rodgers, Mr. Hoffmann, Mr. Colden and at the house of a great number of other RICH FEDERALISTS. To be a British Officer was the same as a letter of recommendation. It was the best passport to their affections. Parties were always made for them, and when the bottle went round the KING'S HEALTH was drunk and RULE BRITANNIA sung. And many of those officers have left this city with a belief that KING GEORGE had more friends here than THOMAS JEFFERSON. Gentlemen, these are plain matters of fact; my life for the truth of them. REPUBLICANS draw your own inference. A Plain Dealer.
Indictment for Murder —The Grand Jury, at the suggestion of a Republican Member, found a bill, on Saturday last, against Henry Whitty, Captain of the Leander, for the murder of John Pierce.
We are informed that in January 1806, the stock of cotton in Great Britain exceeded that of the same period in 1805, from 20 to 30,000 bags. The import will not be less from Orleans this year than from 50 to 60,000 bales, and the increase from Carolina and Georgia at least one third more than in 1805.

ELEGY ON SEEING A SKULL.
This moulder, flint, yet severe, Proclaims mortality to man: Thou like this emblem frail appear, When time has measur'd out thy span. Here once was fixt the dimpled cheek; And from this sallow naked crown, The curling honors long and sleek, Fell ragged and negligently down. This part once fortif'd the brain, The seat of sense, in ages fled, Whence haply flow'd the raptur'd strain, Or truths, by sacred science bred. Here hung the lips that once could smile, And here were fixt the oris of light, Extinguish'd now corrupt and vile, Suffus'd in everlasting night. Behold the socket's empty space Affrights the yet-perceiving eye, And spreads pale horror o'er the face Of all who live, alas—to die. Here yet remain, expos'd and bare, By dust defil'd, of earthly hue, Those teeth that ageouch'd to spare, An useless and a mouldering few. Gay friend, here hung the listening ear, That fed the soul with sense by sound, Here the loquacious tongue, and here The nose on this distorted wound. These all had convers'd with the soul, Mysterious work of heavenly skill, Clay joined to spirit formed a whole, And quicken'd dust obey'd the will. God call'd the life he lent away, The dust returned to whence it came, The spirit left the suffering clay, And death dissolv'd the wondrous frame. Be witty, mortal bold and free, Yet own thy knowledge centers there, Ere long thy scalp like this shall be, Not worth the forid lesson's care. This once, perhaps, a statesman's schemes Of guilty wealth and power contain'd; Where now are all his flattering dreams? And whose the mighty sums he gain'd? Perhaps some former Garrick bore This scalp aloft with graceful pride; Alas, his action charms no more, That once new force to wit supply'd. Perhaps with cunning quibbles fill'd, 'Twas once a lawyer's, ev'n and dry, To obviate every claim, though skill'd, He paid one debt, decreed to die. Perhaps some haughty beauty's charms Adorn'd this bone with white and red; No more the nymph the world alarms, The titles and the roses fled. Perhaps a crown these temples bound, Before it subjd nations bow'd; Now, undistinguish'd on the ground, The beggar tramples on the proud. What cause has mortal flesh to boast Of transient knowledge, wealth and power? The summons comes, we give the ghost, And all are nothing in an hour. O Thou, whose gift is life, below Yet more in virtue and in truth, And lead me through this vale of woe, The staff of age and guide of youth. Sustain me in the mortal hour! For then 'tis thine alone to save, Then let me triumph in thy power A joyful victor o'er the grave.
New-York, April 18. MURDERS.
The following melancholy article is copied from the "Pennsylvania Correspondent," printed at Doylestown, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
A man living on or near the Dry Lands, who had to pay the sum of 1b 300 about the first of April, called on his neighbour who kept a public house, informed him of the payment he had to make, and observed, he had the whole amount, at his own house, except 1b 15 which he wished to loan for a few weeks; the landlord very cheerfully agreed to lend the sum required, stating that he had it not in possession, but expected to go abroad the next day to collect the money, and would return in the evening, when his neighbor might call and receive the sum wanted. With the joy which an honest man derives from the expectation of being able to fulfil his contracts, did the neighbor call at the time appointed; the landlord had not returned; he therefore waited, expecting him to come in;—at the request of the landlady, he concluded to retire to bed, and if asleep, at the return of her husband, he was to be called up; it being late he soon fell asleep—but had not slept long before his slumbers were disturbed by terrific dreams; he awoke his bed-fellow, (a pedlar who had taken his lodgings there for that night only) and informed him he had dreamed his house was on fire, and his wife and children enveloped in the flames. The pedlar intreated him to lie down and quiet his apprehensions; but expostulations are unavailing to a man whose imagination is disordered, from the idea that his family are in imminent danger. He would go home, and the pedlar feeling interested in the interpretation of the dream, agreed to accompany him; taking along a pair of excellent pistols with him, well loaded.—The night was dark, and as they approached the house, a bright light excited new and strong suspicions.—Each taking a pistol, they cautiously approached the lighted window, where with astonishment they beheld three men with blackened faces, counting
money at a table; each of the spectators singled out his man, and two of the midnight plunderers fell lifeless on the floor; the third was met at the door, and was immediately despatched.—Reader—"if you have tears to shed prepare to shed them now."—The agitated husband went into his bed-chamber, where the wife of his bosom, and three young children were weltering in blood, and closing their eyes in death, having been inhumanly butchered "in the unsuspecting moments of sleep," by the three persons before mentioned.—My informant could not give the names of the parties, but states, that on washing the blackened faces of the deceased robbers, they proved to be near neighbors of the owner of the house, and were intimate family connections.
