LOAN OFFICE, New-Hampshire, June 11th, 1807.
NOTICE is hereby given, That in conformity with the provisions of the act supplementary to the act, intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States," books will be opened at the office of the commissioner of loans for New-Hampshire, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March, 1808, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for such parts of the old six per cent. deferred stock as may, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the said commissioner of loans.
Those proprietors of the old six per cent. and deferred stock, who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof a new six per cent. stock, equal to the unredeemed amount of the stock surrendered, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, under a proviso however, that no reimbursement shall be made except for the whole amount of any such new certificate of stock, nor till after six months previous notice; and the proprietors of the three per cent. stock who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof, a six per cent. stock, equal to sixty-five per cent. of the amount of three per cent. surrendered, redeemable in the same manner as the new six per cent. abovementioned, but not redeemable, however, without the assent of the holders, until after the whole of the new six per cent. (given in exchange for old six or deferred as abovementioned), as well as the whole of the eight per cent. stock of the United States, shall have been reimbursed. It is also provided that in every reimbursement which may take place, a preference will be given to those creditors who may notify their wish to be reimbursed; and that if the applications to that effect shall at any time either exceed or fall short of the sum then applicable to that purpose, the priority of payment shall, so far as may be necessary, be determined by lot.
The present stock-holders who reside in any part of Europe, and may assent to that modification, may, at their option, receive the interest accruing on the new stock, either in the United States as heretofore, or in London, or Amsterdam at par; in which last case, the interest will be paid there by the bankers of the United States, six months subsequent to the day on which the same would be payable in the United States, and subject to no variation; nor to any other deduction than a commission to the bankers, of one half per cent. on the interest thus paid.

A TRUE COPY—Attest, PHILIP CARRIGAIN, Secretary.
A Sharper, who had pawned his hat, going out of church in the middle of a crowd, snatched a man's hat from under his arm.—The poor fellow, feeling his hat gone, cried, "They have stolen my hat." The sharper, immediately putting the hat on his head, and hovering it with both hands, exclaimed, have they? I defy them to take mine."
From the N. Y. Public Advertiser. OF THE COMPARATIVE POWERS & EXPENCE OF SHIPS OF WAR, GUN-BOATS AND FORTIFICATIONS.
THE natural defence by men is common to all nations; but artificial defence as an auxiliary to human strength must be adapted to the local condition and circumstances of a country. What may be suitable to one country, or in one state of circumstances may not be so in another.
The United States have a long line of coast of more than two thousand miles, every part of which requires defence, and is more or less accessible by water.
The right principle for the United States to go upon as a water defence for the coast is that of combining the greatest practical power with the least possible bulk, that the whole quantity of power may be better distributed thro' the several parts of such an extensive coast.
The power of a ship of war is altogether in the number and size of the guns she carries, for the ship, of itself has no power. Ships cannot struggle with each other like animals; and besides this, as half her guns are on one side the ship and half on the other, and as she can use only the guns on one side at a time, her real power is only equal to half her number of guns. A seventy four can use only thirty seven guns. She must tack about to bring the other half into action, and while she is doing this she is defenceless and exposed.
As this is the case with ships of war, a question naturally arises therefrom, which is, whether seventy four guns, or any other number, cannot be more effectually employed, and that with much less expence, than by putting them all into one ship of such enormous bulk that it cannot approach a shore either to defend it or attack it; and though the ship can change its place, the whole number of guns can be only in one place at a time, and only half that number can be used at a time.
This is a true statement of the case between ships of war and gun boats for the defence of a coast and of towns situated near a coast. But the case often is, that men are led away by the greatness of an idea and not by the justness of it. This is always the case with those who are advocates for navies and large ships.
A gun boat carrying as heavy metal as a ship of one hundred guns can carry, is a one gun ship of the line; and seventy four of them which would cost much less than a 74 gun ship would cost, would be able to blow a 74 gun ship out of the water. They have, in the use of their guns, double the power of the ship, that is, they have the use of their whole number of 74 to 37.
Having thus stated the general outlines of the subject I come to particulars.
That I might have correct data to go upon with respect to the expence of ships and gun boats, I wrote to the head of one of the departments at Washington for information on that subject.
The following is the answer I received. "Calculating the cost of a 74 or 100 gun ship, from the actual cost of the ship United States of 44 guns, built at Philadelphia, between the years 1795 and 1798, which amounted to 300,000 dollars, it may be presumed that a 74 gun ship would cost 500,000 dollars and a 100 gun ship 700,000 dollars."
"Gun boats calculated merely for the defence of harbors and rivers will, on an average, cost about 4000 dollars each when fit to receive the crew and provisions."
On the data here given I proceed to state comparative calculations respecting ships and gun boats.
The ship, United States, cost 300,000 dollars. Gun boats cost 4000 dollars each, consequently the 300,000 dollars expended on the ship for the purpose of getting the use of 44 guns, and those not heavy metal, would have built seventy-five gun boats each carrying a cannon of the same weight of metal that a ship of an hundred guns can carry. The difference therefore is, that the gun boats give the use of 31 guns heavy metal, more than can be obtained by the ship, and the expences in both cases equal.
A 74 gun ship cost 500,000 dollars. This same money will build 125 gun boats. The gain by gun boats is the use of 51 guns more than can be obtained by expending the money on a ship of 74 guns.
The cost of an hundred gun ship is 700,000 dollars. This money will build 175 gun boats, the gain, therefore, by the boats is the use of 75 guns more than by the ship.
Though I had a general impression, ever since I had knowledge of gun boats, that any given sum of money would go farther in building gun boats than in building ships of war, and that gun boats were preferable to ships for home defence, I did not suppose the difference was so great as the calculations above given prove them to be, for it is almost double in favor of gun boats. It is as 175 to 100. The plain reason is, that the difference is explained.
The fact is, that all that part of the expence in building a ship from the deck upward, including mast, yards, sails and rigging is saved by building gun boats which are moved by oars, or a light sail occasionally.
The difference also in point of repairs between ships of war and gun boats is not only great but is greater in proportion than in their first cost.
The repairs of ships of war is annually from 1.14 to 1.10 of their first cost. The annual expence of the repairs of a ship that cost 300,000 dollars will be above 21,000 dollars; the greatest part of this expence is in her sails and rigging which gun boats are free from.
The difference also in point of duration is great. Gun boats, when not in use, can be put under shelter and preserved from the weather, but ships cannot; or the boats can be sunk in the water or the mud. This is the way the nuts of cider mills for grinding apples are preserved. Were they to be exposed to the dry and hot air after coming wet from the mill they would crack and split and be good for nothing. But timber under water will continue sound several hundred years, provided there be no worms.
Another advantage in favor of gun boats is the expedition with which a great number of them can be built at once. An hundred may be built as soon as one, if there are hands enough to set about them separately. They do not require the preparations for building them that ships require, nor deep water to launch them in. They can be built on the shore of shallow waters; or they might be framed in the woods or forests and the parts brought separately down and put together on the shore. But ships take up a long time building. The ship United States took up two whole years 96 and 97 and part of the years 95 and 98, and all this for the purpose of getting the use of 44 guns and those not heavy metal. This foolish affair was not in the days of the present administration.
Ships and gun boats are for different services. Ships are for distant expeditions; gun boats for home defence. The one for the ocean; the other for the shore.
Gun boats being moved by oars cannot be deprived of motion by calms, for the calmer the weather the better for the boat. But a hostile ship becalmed in any of our waters, can be taken by gun boats moved by oars; let the rate of the ship be what it may. A 100 gun man of war becalmed, is like a giant in a dead palsy. Every little fellow can kick him.
The United States ought to have 500 gun boats stationed in different parts of the coast, each carrying a thirty-two or thirty-six pounder. Hostile ships would not then venture to lie within our waters, were it only for the certainty of being, sometimes becalmed. They would then become prizes, and the insulting bullies on the ocean become prisoners in our own waters.
Having thus stated the comparative powers and expence of ships of war and gun boats, I come to speak of fortifications.
Fortification may be comprehended under two general heads.
First, fortified towns; that is, towns enclosed within a fortified polygon, of which there are many on the continent of Europe but not any in England.
Secondly, simple forts and batteries. These are not formed on the regular principles of fortification; that is, they are not formed for the purpose of standing a siege as a fortified polygon is. They are for the purpose of obstructing or annoying the progress of an enemy by land or water.

Batteries are formidable in defending narrow passes by land; such as the passage of a bridge, or of a road cut through a rough and craggy mountain that cannot be passed any where else. But they are not formidable in defending water passes, because a ship with a brisk wind tide and running at the rate of ten miles an hour will be out of the reach of the fire of the battery in fifteen or twenty minutes, and being a swift moving object all the time, it would be a mere chance that any shot struck her.
When the object of a ship is that of passing a battery for the purpose of attaining or attacking some other object it is not customary with the ship to fire at the battery left it should disturb her course. Three or four men are kept on deck to attend the helm, and the rest, have nothing to do, go below. Duckworth in passing the Dardanelles up to Constantinople did not fire at the batteries.
When batteries for the defence of water passes can be erected without any great expense, and the men not exposed to capture, it may be very proper to have them. They may keep off small piratical vessels but they are not to be trusted to for defence.
Fortifications give in general a great protection. All our principal losses in the revolutionary war were occasioned by trusting to fortifications. Fort Washington with a garrison of 2500 men was taken in less than four hours, and the men prisoners of war. The same fate had befallen Fort Lee on the opposite shore if Gen. Green had not moved hastily off and gained Hackinack bridge. General Lincoln fortified Charleston S. C. and himself and his army were made prisoners of war. General Washington began fortifying New York in '76, Gen. Howe passed up the east river landed his army at Frog's Point about 20 miles above the city and marched down upon it, and had not Gen. Washington stole silently and suddenly off on the north river side of York Island, himself and his army had also been prisoners. Trust not to fortifications, other wise than as batteries that can be abandoned at discretion.
The case however is, that batteries, as a water defence against the passage of ships cannot do much. Were any given number of guns to be put in a battery for that purpose, and an equal number of the same weight of metal put in gun boats for the same purpose, those in boats would be more effectual than those in the battery. The reason for this is obvious. A battery is stationary. Its fire is limited to about two miles, and there its power ceases. But every gun boat moved by oars is a moveable fortification that can follow up its fire and change its place and its position as circumstances may require.
And besides this, gun boats in calms are the sovereign of ships.
As this matter interests the public, and most probably will come before congress at its next meeting, if the printers in any of the states, after publishing it in their newspapers, have a mind to publish it in a pamphlet form, together with my former piece on gun boats, they have my consent freely. I take neither copy-right nor profit for any thing I publish.
COMMON SENSE.
From the Boston CHRONICLE.
It is surprising to find to what a state of degradation the tory party in this country are reduced. They have been so long drilled in the drudgery of supporting Britain in all her madness and folly, that even now, when all the powers of Europe are about loathing her connection, the tory hirelings continue alert in recommending our attachment towards them. What can these people propose to the United States by our adherence to Britain? Of all the nations in Europe, she is the most forlorn and desperate; she is convulsed with internal commotions; The king cannot trust his parliament, nor the parliament the ministry. A general disaffection prevails at home, both in church and state. The king, as the head of the church, is nearly as forlorn as elector of Hannover. There is almost as much uneasiness within the sanctuary of the church, as within the palace of St. James. The lords temporal and spiritual appear to be as much confounded as the builders of Babel. All appears confusion and uncertainty within the government, and all without seems tending to destruction. The English papers depict their state the most distressing and grievous. All the papers on the continent describe them as pursued with every disaster. Yet amid all this ruin and misfortune, the tory writers in Boston are recommending our attachment, & vaunting in the invincibility of the nation.
What can induce their friends thus to expose their folly? Is there a man, detached, from some personal, interested motive, who will seriously maintain, that Britain is the barrier to the prosperity and happiness of this country? Wherein does it appear? Does pressing our seamen, capturing our vessels, and killing our citizens, exhibit any tokens of national cordiality? If they now impose on us in this manner, under their present embarrassments, what might we
not expect if they should once check that power which alone checks them? If the affairs of the British were as prosperous as those of the French, this country would be subject to every insult and disgrace which insolence could inflict. Every tory on the continent would exercise his wonted arrogance, and her hirelings would be doubly impertinent and abusive in all their conduct. This was exhibited in some degree during the cockade mania. Individuals were then threatened to be sent within the enemy's lines. They were to be hanged, while murderers were to be acquitted. The British party have had just success enough in Europe, to give an idea of what they would do if they could. When advantage attended the English, or any disaster the French, then the party would shew their disposition—then the tory papers were alive to give celerity to British victories—then the valor of the British navy was announced with the most joyous eclat. A war with France was urged with the utmost vehemence. War then was a glorious thing for this country—our federal papers were then all blazing for war, and our happiness was considered as depending solely on an alliance with England for this purpose. But now the tune is changed. When Britain is the object, then we must be as harmless as doves—we must submit with humiliation, and deprecate war as the most disastrous of all events. It is true the Republicans do not wish for war, but the hypocrisy of the federalists is a subject of laughter, when they were so fierce for war about Louisiana, and yet are so peaceably inclined on the present occasion. They would fight with France for land which they say we do not want, but would submit to have our seamen murdered by the British. Thus do they expose their folly and partiality.
LATE AND IMPORTANT Foreign Intelligence.
By the Hope, Capt. Woodward, arrived at Boston, from Nantes.—Last Paris date, 15th June. SEVENTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
FINKENSTEIN, MAY 18. We have new details upon the engagement of the 15th. Our loss was considerable. A Polish Colonel, Mr. Paris, was killed. The enemy's loss is greater than was thought. We buried upwards of 900 Russian corpses. The enemy's loss cannot be estimated at less than 2500. Accordingly he flits no more, and appears very circumspect behind his fortifications. The number of boats laden with wounded, which have failed, is fourteen.
On the 14th, a division of 5000 Prussians and Russians, but the major part Prussians, which set off from Konigsberg, landed at Pillau, stretched along the land called the Nehrung, and arrived at Kahlreuth, before our first post of the main guard of light cavalry, which fell back as far as Furtenfwerder. The Emperor gave orders to Beaumont to attack them. On the 16th, at two o'clock in the morning, this General stretched out with the General of Brigade, Albert, at the head of two battalions of Grenadiers of the reserve, the 3d and 11th regiments of rangers, and a brigade of Dragoons. He fell in with the enemy between Passenverder and Stage, at dawn, attacked, overthrew and pursued him with the sword in his loins, for eleven leagues, took from him 1100 men, killed a great number, and carried off 4 pieces of cannon. We had a Capt. of the 3d regiment of rangers, and 5 or 6 men killed, and 8 or 10 wounded.
In Silesia, Prince Jerome is encamped with his corps of observation at Frankenstein, protecting the siege of Niels.
On the 12th, this Prince learnt that a column of 3000 men had come out of Glatz to surprise Breslau. He dispatched Gen. Lefebvre with the 1st Bavarian regiment of the line, and excellent regiment, 100 horse, and a detachment of 300 Saxons. General Lefebvre reached the enemy's rear on the 14th, at four in the morning, at the village of Cauth; he immediately attacked him, carried the village with the bayonet, and made 150 prisoners. A hundred light horsemen belonging to the King of Bavaria, cut to pieces the enemy's cavalry, 500 strong, and dispersed them. However, the enemy placed himself in order of battle, and made a resistance. The 300 Saxons gave way; an extraordinary conduct, which must be the result of some malevolence, for the Saxon troops, since they have been united with the French troops, have always behaved bravely. This unexpected defection put the 1st Bavarian regiment of the line in a critical situation. It lost 150 men, who were made prisoners, and was obliged to beat a retreat, which it, however, made in order. The enemy retook the village of Cauth.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Gen. Dumay, who had come out of Breslau at the head of 1000 Frenchmen, dragoons, rangers and hussars on foot, who had been sent into Silesia, in order to be mounted, a part of whom had been so already, attacked the enemy in his rear, 150 hussars on foot carried the village of Cauth with the bayonet, made a hundred prisoners, and retook all the Bavarians who had been made prisoners.
The enemy in order to return with more facility into Glatz, had separated into two columns. Gen. Lefebvre, who had set off from Schweidnitz on the 13th, fell upon one of these columns, killed 100 of its men, and made 400 more prisoners, among them are 30 officers. A regiment of Polish lancers, which arrived the day before, at Frankenstein, and of which Prince Jerome had sent a detachment to Gen. Lefebvre, distinguished itself.
The second column of the enemy had endeavored to reach Glatz by the way of Silberberg. Lt. Col. Ducaldray, aid-de-camp to the Prince, fell in with it and routed it. Thus this column of 3 or 4000 men, which had come out of Glatz, could not return to it. It was entirely taken, killed and dispersed.
76th BULLETIN.
FINKENSTEIN, MAY 20.
A fine English sloop copper-bottomed, of 24 guns, manned with 120 Englishmen, and laden with powder and ball, presented itself to enter the town of Dantzick. On arriving opposite our works she was assailed with a warm fire of musketry from both flanks and obliged to strike. A picket of the Paris regiment was the first to jump on board her. An Aid-de-Camp of General Kalkreuth, who was returning from the Russian headquarters, and several English Officers, were taken on board. This sloop is called the Pearls. Independent of 120 Englishmen, there were 60 Russians on board this vessel.
The enemy's loss at the engagement of Weichselmunde on the 15th was greater than was at first imagined, a Russian column which had stretched along the sea, having been put to the bayonet. Upon reckoning, 1300 Russian corpses were found to have been buried.
On the 6th a division of 7000 Russians, commanded by General Turkow, repaired from Brok upon the Bug, to Pultusk, in order to oppose new works which had been ordered for the purpose of rendering the bridge head more respectable. These works were defended by six Bavarian battalions, commanded by the Prince Royal of Bavaria. The enemy attempted four attacks. In all of them he was overthrown by the Bavarians and assailed with grape shot from the batteries of the different works. Marshal Maffieu estimates the enemy's loss at 300 killed and double that wounded.
77th BULLETIN.
FINKENSTEIN, MAY 20.
Dantzick has capitulated. This fine fortress is in our possession. 800 pieces of ordnance, magazines of every kind, upwards of 500,000 quintals of wheat, considerable cellars, large supplies of cloth and grocery, resources of all kind for the army, and finally a fortress of the first order supporting our left, as Thorn supports our centre, and Praga our right;—these are the advantages obtained during the winter, and which have signalized the leisure of the Grand Army; it is the first, the finest fruit of the victory of Eylau. The difficulties which the artillery had to vanquish were considerable. 100 pieces of cannon, 5 or 600,000 lbs. of gunpowder, an immense number of balls were brought from Stettin and the fortresses of Silesia.
On the 17th, the mine blew up at a block house on the place of arms of the covert way. On the 19th the descent and passage of the fosse were executed at 7 in the evening. On the 21st, Marshal Lefebvre having prepared every thing for the assault, the troops mounted, when Col. Lacosse, who had been sent into the fortress in the morning on business regarding the service, stated, that Gen. Kalkreuth asked to capitulate on the same conditions which he had formerly granted to the garrison of Mentz. This proposal was consented to. The Habelsburg would have been carried by assault without any great loss, but the body of the fortress are still entire; a large fosse of running water presented such obstacles as might have enabled the besieged to have prolonged their defence for a fortnight longer. Under such circumstances it was deemed advisable to grant them an honorable capitulation.
On the 17th, the garrison defiled, Gen. Kalkreuth at their head. This strong garrison, which at first consisted of 16,000 men, is reduced to 9000, out of which number, 4000 have deserted. There are even officers among the defectors. "We will not go to Siberia," say they. Several thousands of artillery horses have been delivered up to us, but they are in a very bad condition. Inventories of the magazines are now making out. Gen. Rapp is appointed Governor of Dantzick.
The Russian Lt. Gen. Kamenskii, after having been defeated on the 15th, was driven under the fortifications of Weichselmunde, where he remained without undertaking anything, and where he was a spectator of the surrender of the fortress. When he beheld batteries erecting for red hot shot, in order to burn his vessels, he got on board and returned to Pillau. The fort of Weichselmunde still held out.—Marshal Lefebvre caused it to be summoned. On the 26th, and while the capitulation was regulating, the garrison marched out of the fort and surrendered. The commandant abandoned, saved himself by sea, accordingly we are now masters of the town and harbor of Dantzick. These events are a happy omen for the campaign. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia were at Helsingel. They might have conjectured the surrender of the fortress from the cessation of the fire. The cannon was heard as far as that place.
The siege of Grandentz is beginning, under the command of Gen. Victor. Gen. Lazowski commands the engineers, and Gen. Donhouard the artillery. Grandentz is strong by its great number of mines.
All the good news of the successes of Imlau and Walachia is just arrived. The Russians have been obliged to raise the siege of Imlau and evacuate Walachia.
EXTRACT FROM THE CAPITULATION OF DANTZICK.
After a long resistance, fifty-one days of open trenches, arduous circumstances having rendered it necessary to treat for the surrender of the fortress of Dantzick, to the troops of H. M. the Emp. of the French, King of Italy, and to those of his allies, the following Capitulation has been agreed on between his Excellency the General of Cavalry, Count de Kalkreuth, and the General of Division Drouet.
Art. 1. The garrison shall march out on the 27th inst. at 9 in the morning, with arms and baggage, colors flying, drums beating, matches lighted, two 6 pounders of the light artillery, with their caissons, drawn by 6 horses each.
II. The remainder of the artillery horses shall be delivered up to the French Army.
III. The arms of all kinds, which may exceed the complement of the petty officers and soldiers, who march out of the fortress, shall be delivered up to the officers of artillery, appointed for that purpose.
IV. The garrison shall be conducted to the advanced posts of the army of H. M. the King of Prussia, at Pillau, passing by the Nehrung, and in five days marches the halting places shall be fixed on.
V. The garrison engages not to serve against the French army, or its allies, for the space of a year, reckoning from the day of the capitulation. Gen. Count Kalkreuth, H. H. Prince Scherbatof, and the officers engaged, on their word of honor, to observe, and cause to be observed, the present article.
VI. On the 26th, the Habelsburg, the gates of Oliva, Jacob and Neugarten, shall be given up to his Majesty the Emperor of the French, and King of Italy, and those of his allies.
VII. The officers, petty officers and soldiers, now prisoners of war at Dantzick, whether they form part of the troops of his Majesty the Emperor, or those of his allies, shall be restored without exchange.
XI. The magazines, chests, and in general every thing belonging to the King shall be delivered up to the French administration; a commissioner shall be appointed to deliver to the person furnished with powers from his Excellency Marshal Lefebvre.
XVI. His Excellency Marshal Lefebvre, assures the inhabitants of Dantzick that he will use every means to make persons and property be respected, and that the greatest order shall reign throughout the garrison.
WIDDIN, MAY 5.
The Russians evacuated Giurdzow the 20th April. Mustafa Pacha sent forward the Turkish cavalry to follow their rear guard.
SEMLIN, MAY 11.
Letters from Servia mention as certain intelligence, the taking of the town of Uchizza, which was occupied by the Servians. The Turks carried it by assault. The garrison amounted only to 600 men, most of the Servian troops who were to have defended it having taken refuge in the interior of the province.
Advices from Serajevo state that Gen. Marmont had advanced into Dalmatia with an army of 20,000 men as far as the frontiers of Turkish Croatia, and should not peace take place between France and Russia, he will enter Bosnia in order to join the Turks, and march with them against the Russians.
HUNGARY, MAY 20.
The Turks withstand the Russians—and indeed, it is said, make head against them. Each Turkish commander has French officers with him; and in every fortress resides a French military agent.
BUDA, MAY 29.
The Turks lead the way in the most brilliant manner to the opening of the campaign against the Russians. The Ottoman corps, after raiding the blockade of Ismail, passed the Ruth at Falzi, and struck off rapidly towards Yassy.
Numerous corps of Tartars in the Crimea, whom Michelson wished to join his army, have passed over to the Turkish camp.
PARIS, JUNE 5.
Intelligence from Janina, of the 26th April, received on the 26th May, at Paris, states, that the Turks have gained a signal victory over the Russian navy in the Black Sea; that the soldiers of the latter nation, who had embarked at Corfu, in order to make incursions on the territory of the Pacha of Janina, had been all either repulsed or killed; many heads of officers, it is added, were sent in bags to Constantinople.
VIENNA, MAY 15.
We are very busy here with the general recruiting. By virtue of the system of conscription now acted upon, bankers' and merchants' sons, who were formerly exempted from service, are now liable to it. The regiments will soon, it is calculated, receive their full complement of men.
May 28.—The course of exchange and public funds have got up here for some time past, a circumstance principally to be attributed to the certainty that the Court of Austria will persist in its neutrality.
AUGSBURG, MAY 30.
It is asserted that the Confederacy of the Rhine will soon receive a denomination more conformable to its extent and population, and will be called the Germanic Confederacy.
THE ENGLISH IN EGYPT.
Letters from Leghorn, and in short from every port in Italy, mention, that the English have been defeated in Egypt by the Turks and Arnauts united.
PARIS, JUNE 2.
There is certain intelligence arrived that the English army, landed at Alexandria under the command of General Fraser, was completely beat by the Turks, at the moment when it was endeavouring to advance into Egypt, and that it was so hard pressed in its precipitate retreat, that Gen. Fraser had already dispatched three frigates successively to the Governor of Malta, in order to demand succours from him.
TRIEST, MAY 17.
Intelligence has been received from Egypt which states, that the body of English troops which had landed in that country were under the greatest embarrassment, the greatest part of the Bays as well as all the inhabitants having declared for the Porte and France. It is also known that after the retreat of the English squadron which appeared before Constantinople, different bodies of troops which were in Syria, received orders to return to Egypt, in order to oppose the English, whose designs on the possession of the Porte were foreseen. Hence there is every reason for believing that the latter cannot long maintain themselves in Egypt, even when they receive reinforcements from Sicily.
The death of Elfi-Bey has deprived them of the sole support they had in that Country.
PETERSBURG, MAY 10.
Our commercial affairs with Great Britain are yet in an unsettled situation.
AUGSBURG, MAY 21.
Toulon Fleet.—Letters which have been received here from Leghorn, confirm the intelligence of the French fleet having failed from Toulon. It has already captured the English frigate and brig which were cruising off Toulon in order to observe its motions. Other intelligence states, that the Spanish squadron of Carthagena had likewise set sail, for the purpose of joining the Toulon fleet.
PARIS, JUNE 13.
The capitulation of the fortress of Niels is announced as official.
H. M. the Emperor arrived at Dantzick the 1st June.
LONDON, MAY 30.
Orders have just been given at Plymouth, to dispatch to sea without delay all the ships in that port, which are in readiness for sailing.
The elections in Ireland continue to be very contrary to the Ministerial party.
HAMBURG, MAY 30.
All accounts agree, that preparations for a general battle, were making between the two Great Armies in Prussia and Poland; and that it would take place in June.
It is reported, that Gen. Bennigsen is ill; and Gen. Tuttschkoff has succeeded General Lissen.
BY THE MAILS.
GEORGIA. SAVANNAH, JULY 14.
Report says, that two of our Pilots came up from the Light last evening, and mention that they were robbed of their Water, in 6 1/2 fathom, by a British ship of War, which one of the officers told them was the Penelope, but they suppose her to be the Indian, —she had the American Ensign hoisted, and one of the officers had on an American Uniform—they were particularly inquisitive as to the minds of the people in town, whether they consider themselves at War with his Britannic Majesty, &c.
WASHINGTON CITY, JULY 17.
78,074 barrels and 3,177 half barrels of flour were inspected in the town of Alexandria, during the three months ending on the 1th inst. which, on a very moderate estimate, may be valued at 550,000 dollars.
The quantity of flour inspected at George Town during the three months preceding the 31st ult. exceeded 37,000 barrels, which may be valued at 230,000 dollars.
The whole quantity of flour, therefore, exported from the district of Columbia during a single quarter may be estimated at 800,000 dollars. Besides the exportation of flour, that of tobacco is very considerable, to which might be added a long list of other articles. Do not these indisputable facts prove, that nothing is wanting but capital and wise use of its resources, to elevate the district to high commercial importance? There is, probably, no place in the United States, where a merchant, possessed of ample capital, would reap so great a profit.
JULY 22.
On Wednesday last the Vesper, British tender, went into the Chesapeake with dispatches. The Bellona, Commodore Douglas, immediately got under way, for Halifax. The Vesper was ordered to follow; when out of sight of the Bellona, seven impressed Americans joined seventeen others, rose on the officers and remainder of the crew, 28 in number, confined them, took possession of the schooner, then with the two officers got on board a coasting schooner, and when out of reach of the Vesper, sent the officers on board and got into Newcastle.
JULY 24.
Extract of a letter, dated Fort Stoddart, June 30. The Dons of the town of Mobile are as troublesome as ever. A short time since there were taken from New-Orleans for Fort Stoddart a considerable quantity of military stores, consisting of two hundred muskets, bayonets, and cartridge boxes, a quantity of musket ball, cartridges, cannon and musket powder, lead, &c. which the commandant at Mobile would not permit to pass; but had them landed and stored until he should receive further instructions from the governor-general of the Floridas.
The day after, the commandant sent off an officer with dispatches to the Governor-General who was at New-Orleans; in reply to which the Governor wrote to him as follows: "By your official letter of the 27th of May last, I am informed of the mode adopted by you to deposit the military stores destined for Fort Stoddart, in the schooner Ann—in conformity with the note accompanying which you will accordingly cause to remain so deposited, until the business shall be arranged with the American government, which is what occurs to me in answer to your said official letter." The Commandant at Mobile immediately communicated a copy of this letter to the American lieutenant commandant advising him that he copied the same for his information, in case he should think proper to lay the answer before his government. [National Int.]
NORFOLK, JULY 18.
SOME RETALIATION.
Last evening an express arrived at Head Quarters to the Commander, Gen. Matthews, from Capt. Shepherd, of the troop of Cavalry stationed near the Cape.—The intelligence expressed is of great importance—it announces the first act of retaliation for the outrages of the British Squadron.
The substance of the intelligence, as far as we are informed, and our information may be relied on, is that a boat with five men, viz. two midshipmen and three sailors, was seen to land on Thursday evening, on the east side of the inlet; the people came on shore, and were fired at by a detachment of militia under the command of a lieutenant from Kempsville. They retreated and took refuge in the woods—information being given to captain Shepherd of the place to which they had retired, it was immediately surrounded.—In the morning they were discovered, and surrendered themselves prisoners without resistance.—The boat and the arms on board of her have been take possession of; and the men are now prisoners at Mr. Lemuel Cornick's waiting the orders of the General.
NEW-YORK, JULY 25.
INFAMOUS CONDUCT.
On Monday arrived here the mate and three people belonging to the sch. Betsey, Capt. Cary, which left this place a few weeks since on a fishing voyage. They state, that several days after their departure, they fell in with a British cutter, mounting 8 twelve pounders and 14 swivels, who, after firing three guns, which passed very near them, boarded, armed with pistols and cutlasses—after considerable abuse, they ransacked her hold, starting barrels of cider, beans, provisions, &c. Not content with this, these Myrmidons cut their cod lines in pieces, rendering the Betsey completely unfit for her intended voyage. To complete the whole, the crew were all (except the captain) carried on board the cutter & detained 24 hours, without any thing to eat or drink. The schooner has arrived at Plymouth.— [Norwich paper.]

PATRIOTISM.
From Trenton, (N. J.) July 20. Jersey Volunteers.
At a meeting of the officers, non-commissioned officers and privates of the first Uniform Company of Trenton, on Saturday the 11th July, 1807, Capt. Wilson, Serg. Cook, and Messrs. Baker, Kerwood and Howell, were appointed a committee to draught Resolutions expressive of the sense and determination of this company with regard to the late British outrage; who withdrew and soon after reported the following, which were severally read & unanimously adopted.
Resolved , That this Company view with the most heartfelt abhorrence and indignation, the late insult offered to our country, the outrage committed upon our flag, and the cold-blooded and savage murder perpetrated upon a number of our innocent and unoffending fellow citizens by the British ship of war Leopard.
Resolved , That while we consider peace upon honorable terms as the best interest of the nation, yet we would prefer war to a tame and disgraceful submission to such aggravated insults, outrages and massacres.
Resolved , That, altho' we are warmly attached to the sweets of domestic life; yet we feel ourselves bound to be ready to march at a moment's warning to maintain the rights or avenge the wrongs of our country.
Resolved , That a tender of our services be made to the Commander in Chief of this State, with a request that we may be considered as part of the quota to be furnished by New Jersey; and that the Captain, attended by the officers, present him a copy of these Resolutions in the presence of the Company.
Ordered , That the Captain and Clerk do subscribe the foregoing Resolutions; and that the Clerk do furnish a roll of the Company to his Excellency the Commander in Chief.
JAMES J. WILSON, Captain. WILLIAM KERWOOD, Ck.
Immediately on the adoption of these Resolutions, the Company marched to, and were drawn up in front of the Government House, when the Governor appeared at his door, and received their Resolutions with the following brief Address:
Fellow-Citizens, The voluntary offer of your services is accepted. I confidently expect you will support the character of Jerseymen , that you will not think from military exertion, now it has become a duty—Let every Citizen-Soldier feel the importance of his post—Remember that you have undertaken the defence of your country, and that it is now entrusted to you. Let the time devoted to exercise, be considered an important obligation, and as honorably employed—Let discipline be learnt and observed with diligence and patience.
The exertions now making throughout the United States, and the patriotism of the American People, will erect a wall of defence around our country, more secure than the Chinese wall against the Tartars—and against which the haughty Britons may break their force in vain.
In short, Fellow-Soldiers, your country calls to arms—and, if we must have war, what have we to do but to march, when duty calls, and make it as terrible to our enemies as possible!
More Jersey Volunteers.
In addition to the Trenton Company of Light Infantry, mentioned above, as having volunteered, we have the pleasure to state, that
The New-Brunswick Company of Artillery, commanded by captain Lawson,
The Newark Republican Fusilier Company, commanded by captain Colt,
The Salem Troop of Cavalry, commanded by captain Tuft,
The Alexandria Troop of Cavalry, commanded by captain McGill,
The Alexandria Company of Light Infantry, commanded by captain Vorhis,
The Cranberry Grenadier Company, commanded by captain Carlton,
The Middletown Troop of Light Dragoons, commanded by captain Holmes,
The Freehold Troop of Light Dragoons, commanded by captain Craig,
The Flemington Company of Light Infantry, commanded by captain Garry,
The Bridgetown Company of Light Infantry, commanded by captain Burch,
The Fairfield Company of Artillery, commanded by captain Westcott,
The Port-Elizabeth Company of Light Infantry, commanded by captain Eldridge,
The Upper-Alloways Creek Company of Light Infantry, commanded by Capt. Ray,
The Gloucester Troop of Cavalry, commanded by captain Pilsant,
The Anwell Company of Artillery, commanded by captain Lambert,
The Allentown Company of Light Infantry, commanded by captain Rogers,
The Spottwood Company of Artillery, commanded by captain Snowhill,
Have severally offered their services to the Governor of this State, as a part of the quota required from New Jersey on the present emergency, and have been accepted.
The militia legion of Philadelphia, consisting of fourteen republican united companies, have tendered their services to the United States at the present crisis. And other companies are following their example; and some are railling for the purpose.
The Cadets and two Light Infantry Companies of Salem, (Mats.) have volunteered their services to government.
From Augusta, (Maine.) July 24.
We are informed, the Augusta Light Infantry have tendered their services to Government, and that an address expressive thereof, has been presented the Major-General, and by him forwarded to the executive of this Commonwealth.
The Detachments required by the President have been made with great alacrity and with instant obedience, and this wise measure has not only displayed our patriotism, but has given a generous spring to that military spirit which we have long wished to revere as our best protection, and our national honor.
The last military report we have seen, gives the military strength of the United States at 565,000 men, not including Maryland and Delaware, which must carry the whole number above 600,000, if we allow to Maryland 40,000, and to Delaware 8,000 men.
The increase and reputation of our Domestic manufactures is a pleasing consideration, in the present conjecture, and the safety of our country will direct us to adopt all such plans of defence, as the condition of our country will require or admit.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By an arrival at Boston from Nantes, Paris papers to the 15th June were received. They contain Bulletins of the Grand Army to No. 77; the last of which gives an account of the surrender of DANTZIC—It capitulated on the 24th May, and received highly honorable terms.—Dantzig is about 130 American miles from Konigsburg—its situation upon the Baltic, its excellent harbour, its numerous ships, its great grain trade, the reputation of its ship building and cloth manufactures, make it an important acquisition. There were great rejoicings among the French on account of the fall of this valuable fortress; and the loss must depress the spirits of the Russians and Prussians.—Tho' there were some rumors in the wind of a pacific negotiation; it was certain the two Great Armies in Poland, were ripening preparations for a deadly battle; and, particularly the French, were receiving reinforcements from every quarter. [Particulars of the information received by the above-mentioned arrival, will be found under our foreign head in this days paper.]
From MALTA to June 3, 1807.
We have conversed with a gentleman, who left Malta, the 8th June.—He confirms the account that the English had been defeated in Egypt, and that a frigate and sloop of war had brought intelligence to Malta, with the bodies of two of the Generals killed in the action:—One of which he understood to have been that of Major-General Frazer. [The general staff of the corps which went to Egypt were, Major-Generals Frazer and Wauchop, and Brigadier-General Stuart.—The British loss was stated to be 1500 killed and wounded; more than one half of the troops which landed. It is supposed, the British were defeated by the Albanians, mentioned in Gen. Frazer's letter announcing the capture of Alexandria, and which were stated to be on the march to relieve that city.—an account of the death, by disease, of Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Louis. He was also received at Malta. This leaves the British squadron in the Archipelago without an Admiral—Duckworth and Sir Sidney Smith having previously failed for England. Louis was one of the best officers in the service. [Boston Centinel.]
It is a most important and certain truth, that manufactures in America are at this day in a state more progressive than in any other country in the world, G. Britain itself not excepted. And if the American capital should be turned from the sea, it will totally ruin several English branches of manufactures in the course of a year. If England forces us into the war, woollens and linens should never be admitted again into this country from G. Britain. Our own cotton, linen, and wool with those of other countries will plentifully serve us. Such is a part of our replies to British hostility, menaces, and searches in our own waters. [Democrat-Press.]
It is affirmed that the population of the countries in the East Indies, which Great Britain has been seizing and subjugating from time to time, is estimated at the lowest at sixty millions of persons! Some respectable informants state them at eighty millions.—This unwieldy and remote dependency is becoming conscious of its natural strength. It begins to perceive, that it is the bloodiest monument of European cruelties extant on our globe. Its revenues are wrung from it with bitterness by an iron despotism, and but for our dollars could not be collected. The wars of Persia and Turkey will agitate India through its whole extent. [Ibid.]
The Emperor of Morocco, by an order, issued at Mogadore, May 9, 1807, has directed, that no vessels laden merely with hard cash, which he says is no profit to him, or in ballast, shall be suffered to enter his harbors. He wishes vessels to bring such goods as are necessary for the country, and which benefit and fill the ports.
Sir, Palermo, 25th May, 1807.
I have the honor to enclose you herewith for your government, a copy of an official notification sent me by H. E. the Marquis DE CIRCLELLA, his Sicilian Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs, where in all the ports of the kingdom of Naples, occupied by his Majesty's enemies, are declared in a state of blockade.
You will, of course, do what is needful with the same, for the information of the American flag.
I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Signed) ABRAHAM GIBBS. JOHN GAVINO, Esq. U. S. Consul, Gibraltar.
In the year 1799, Commodore Tingey, on board the U. S. Sloop of war Ganges , of 26 guns then on the West-India station, was demanded to inform, an English frigate of 32 guns, whether all his men had protection—the answer was, they have, look at their colors—Boatswain, pipe all hands—boys, will you stand by me? Yes—three cheers given immediately. Well says the brave commander, they shall take me before you—being close alongside and all ready. The loud three cheers was enough and the British ship bore away.

THE OLD STORY!
Says a late neighbouring paper, "What have we to check his (Bo-naparte's) arbitrary strides, ENG-LAND ONCE STUDDED?"
This flag, before the late British murders, was less provoking. But now it is shameful—it is wicked—it is treasonable. Heavens! are we yet told, that England is our protector—our only protector? How long are we to be exhorted to embrace a real enemy, to avoid an imaginary foe?
We have hardly patience to speak coolly on such a subject. To real Americans, we need not speak—their feelings will suggest the comment. [Boston Courier.]
Extracts from the protest of captain Tuck's seamen taken by the Rattler, and carried into St. Johns, Newfoundland.
"That they were forcibly taken from the captured American Schooner Bellarius , and carried on board the sloop of war, Rattler , and stationed in the tops and forecastle, and obliged to do duty, and allowed but one half allowance of grog, and one half allowance of bread, and were threatened if they did not repair to quarters, they should be brought to the gangway and flogged, which they were obliged to do; and after their arrival in St. John's they were allowed no provisions on board the privater, except what was supplied them by Captain Tuck."

GENERAL WILKINSON.
This distinguished officer has been among us several days. It is understood he will depart to-day or to-morrow for Richmond, and may perhaps tarry a few days at Washington-City. On Tuesday last a number of citizens waited on the General, at General Smith's, near town. It was proposed to give a public dinner to the officer whose efforts have defeated designs most pernicious to our peace, and had drawn on himself the rage of a baffled band, and the persecution of a faction: But the General declined, at present, any public manifestation of respect, choosing to refer himself to the future regards of his fellow citizens.
[Baltimore American of July 23.]
Where now is the cry about Burr's innocence? The traitor has been indicted and his friends are dumb.—Guilt is likely to receive its reward, and its patrons are sheltering themselves from punishment.—Except now and then a feeble promise to prove his innocence upon his trial, all is silent, and his late zealous and daring supporters are disposed to leave him to his fate. Thus does it always fare with those who abandoning their principles, become leagued with wretches ever ready to receive and patronize apostates from the cause of truth. He finds them warm friends while he is safe, but when his imprudence brings him into danger, he sees them indifferent to his troubles, and anxious only for their own security. Esq.
COUNTERFEITING. —A number of the inhabitants of Canaan , having for some time been suspicious that there was counterfeiting business carried on in town, at length resolved to try some endeavors to make a discovery; accordingly, a few met at Capt. Arven's on the evening of the 15th ult. where there were several persons strongly suspected of being concerned in and having counterfeit money, with them. After much conversation on various subjects, a feint was proposed; on which, Nath'l Merrill, of Enfield, immediately left the room, but was followed, brought back and put under keepers. On bringing a light to the place where he was seen to make a movement with one of his hands, a bundle of paper was found, containing 294 dollars of unsigned bills, principally of 5 dollars on the Maine Bank at Portland—some on the Norwich Bank , Conn.—a few on the Cheshire Bank at Keene, and one bill of five dollars, signed by Samuel Freeman. On watching the motions of Joseph Smith, of Canaan , who on being spoken to, was seen to throw something over the fence near which he had been taken into the house, and a light immediately carried to the place, where were found three plates for striking Bank Bills of the following descriptions: one for two dollars on the Philadelphia Exchange —one for one dollar on the Exchange Bank , Providence—one for ten dollars on the N. H. Bank , payable at Philadelphia, dated at Portsmouth, and Oliver Peabody engraved as President—and for three dollars on the R. I. Union Bank , at Newport. The plates appeared to be well executed, and one of them engraved on both sides. On examination the 14th ult. judgment was given against them. They are to be tried before the next Superior Court to be held at Haverhill.

In Philadelphia during the week ending the 25th ult. 21 adults, and 15 children. In New-York during the week ending the 25th ult. 54 persons; of whom 22 were men; 8 women, 9 boys, and 15 girls.
DROWNED. —In this town on Wednesday last, Mr. Samuel Griffith, aged 43.
Taken up, yesterday, on Rye beach, the body of a female child, to appearance two or three years old; had on a small figured red and white chintz frock; and is supposed to be one of the number who were on board the Portland-packet, lately cast away. The child was, by order of the selectmen of the town, after a jury of inquest had upon it, taken to a convenient place, and decently buried. May its surviving friends be comforted with the consolations of God! and may all living realize death, and be led to conduct as becomes those, whose life is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away!
