AGRICULTURE.
Account of a method of preventing the premature decay of PEACH TREES, by JOHN ELLIS, of—county, New-Jersey.
THE decay of Peach Trees is owing to a worm which originates from a large fly, that resembles the common wasp—this fly perforates the bark, and deposits an egg in the moist or sapgy part of it: The most common place of perforation is at the surface of the earth, and as soon as the worm is able to move, it descends into the earth, probably from an instinctive effort to avoid the winter frost. This may be ascertained by observation, the tract of the worm from the seat of the egg being visible at its beginning, and gradually increasing, in correspondence with the increasing size of the worm; its course is always downwards. The progress of the young worm is extremely slow, and if the egg is deposited at any considerable distance above the surface of the earth, it is long before the worm reaches the ground. The worms are unable to bear the cold of winter unless covered by the earth, and all that are above ground after frost are killed.
"By this history of the origin, progress and nature of the insect, we can explain the effect of my method, which is as follows: In the spring, when the blossoms are out, clear away the dirt so as to expose the root of the tree, to the depth of three inches; surround the tree with straw about three feet long, applied lengthwise, so that it may have a covering one inch thick, which extends to the bottom of the hole, the butt ends of the straw resting upon the ground at the bottom—bind this straw round the tree with three bands one near the top, one at the middle, and the third at the surface of the earth, then fill up the hole at the root with earth, and press it closely round the straw. When the white frost appears, the straw should be removed and the tree should remain uncovered until the blossoms, put out in the spring.
"By this process the fly is prevented from depositing its egg within three feet of the root, and although it may place the egg above that distance, the worm travels so slow that it cannot reach the ground before frost, and therefore is killed before it is able to injure the tree.
"The truth of the principle is proved by the following fact. I practiced this method with a large number of Peach trees, and they flourished remarkably, without any appearance of injury from the worm, for several years, when I was induced to discontinue the straw with about twenty of them—all those which are without the straw have declined, while the others which have had the straw continue as vigorous as ever.

By the late arrivals from EUROPE.
Peace between Austria & France.
PARIS, FEB. 15.
THE following Message of the Consuls to the Legislative body was communicated yesterday:—
"The peace of the continent has been signed at Luneville. It is such as the French people desired. Their first wish was the boundary of the Rhine. Their reveries did not alter their inclination; their victories ought not to enlarge their pretensions. After restoring the ancient limits of Gaul, it belongs to them to restore to liberty, nations which were united to them by a common origin, and the ties of interest and manners. The freedom of the Cisalpine and Ligurian Republics is secured. Next to this duty, there was another which justice and generosity prescribed to them. The King of Spain has been faithful to our cause, and has suffered for it. Neither our reverses, nor the perfidious insinuations of our enemies have been able to detach him from our interest. He shall receive a just return. A Prince of his blood is to be placed on the Throne of Tuscany. He will remember that he owes it to the fidelity of Spain, and the friendship of France. His roads and his ports will be shut against our enemies, and become the asylum of our commerce and our vessels. Austria—and in this consists the pledge of our peace—Austria, henceforward separated from France by extensive regions, will no longer entertain that rivalry, and those resentments which have for so many ages been the torment of those two powers, and produced the calamities of Europe. By this treaty every thing is concluded as to France. She will have no longer to contend with the formalities and intrigues of a Congress. The Government owes a testimony of satisfaction to the Minister Plenipotentiary who has conducted this negotiation to so fortunate an issue. There remains no interpretation to be demanded, nor any of those equivocal dispositions, in which the art of diplomacy deposits the germ of a new war. Why is it that this treaty is not a treaty of general pacification? This was the wish of France! This was the constant object of the efforts of its Government! But all its efforts have been in vain. Europe knows all that the British Ministry have done to prevent the success of the negotiations at Luneville. In vain did an agent, authorized by the Government declare to them, on the 9th Oct. 1800, that France was ready to enter into a separate negotiation with them. His declaration was answered only by a refusal, under the pretext that England could not abandon her ally. Since that period, and after that ally had consented to treat without England, this Government seeks for other means of postponing a peace which is so necessary to the whole world. It violates a Convention consecrated by humanity, and declares war against fishermen. It advances pretensions contrary to the dignity and rights of all nations. All the commerce of Asia, and immense colonies, are no longer sufficient to satisfy its ambition. It arms against Russia, Denmark and Sweden, because Russia, Denmark and Sweden have, by treaty, mutually guaranteed their sovereignty, their independence, and their flags. The powers of the North, unjustly attacked, have a right to rely on the assistance of France. The French Government will with them avenge an injury common to all nations without at any time forgetting that it ought to contend only for Peace and the happiness of the world.
The First Consul, (Signed) BONAPARTE."
The above intelligence has disseminated universal pleasure. Every class of citizens manifest the same joy and exultation. As soon as the tidings reached the hotel Longueville, where there was a masked ball, the company came out and danced on the carousel. Discharges of artillery are continually made. The Ministers Counsellors, and public functionaries, civil and military have waited with congratulations on the First Consul; who communicated to them the conditions of the Peace.
MARCH 3.
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Gen. Gafcoigne, moved the order of the day, "that the house should be called over."
Mr Pitt said, though not of opinion generally that Calls of the House were of effect, as they could not compel members to stay longer than the call of the name, yet he did not mean to say that circumstances might not shew it to be desirable:—the circumstances of the times, generally speaking, were important, and others of a higher and more serious importance might occur,
though he entertained the most sanguine hope that what he alluded to would not require the interference of Parliament. He should therefore move, that the house be called over this day fortnight. Agreed.
Mr. Pitt rose to suggest to Mr. Jones the propriety of putting off his proposed motion respecting the Convention of El Arish. This he did on the same principles as had induced some other gentlemen to delay other motions of a public nature. Agreed.
OF TURKEY.
The army of Pashwan Oglu, contains several Frenchmen and Poles of distinction. Kosciuszko was expected to join. It is said, the French intend to add a body of troops to it. Thus this formidable army of insurgents, which, of itself, has desired the power of the Turkish Government, is to be rendered more formidable. Russia undoubtedly meditates a blow on the Sublime Porte. Algiers and Tunis, have betrayed signs of disaffection. The throne of the Grand Seigneur trembles to its base—and before we know his crimes we may hear he is destroyed. First he is to be executed, and afterwards tried.
HABEAS CORPUS.
The law suspending the Habeas Corpus Act has been suffered to die a natural death. And a number of persons have already, in consequence been liberated from the Tower, and from different goals.
PARIS, FEB. 16.
A Neapolitan proclamation for closing the ports to the British is expected. Russia is said to have demanded of Prussia—that the English be excluded from the Elbe, the Weser and the Ems—and the British Minister ordered from Berlin.
ELSNBURG, FEB. 6.
"All communication between the Baltic and England seems now stopped; and, from a hint given, that the English Resident here should apply for permission to retire into the country, very serious events seem at issue, which we are all anxiously expecting: hitherto however, we remain unmolested."
LONDON, FEB. 19.
The negotiation, between Austria and France have been managed with great address on the part of France; who have treated with the Emperor, for himself, and for the empire. By this procedure the French avoid the adjustment of indemnities to the petty Princes who have been dispossessed of their territories.
NEW TAXES.
Yesterday, Mr. Pitt opened the budget as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The new taxes are—an additional duty on all teas above 2s. 6d. per lb—a duty on paper double to the present one, with exceptions to some particular forts—a duty of 2 1/2 per yard on printed cottons—1s. 10d. per cwt. on sugars—1s. 3d. additional duty on timber—3d per lb. on pepper—20s. per ton on lead—20s. per ton on train oil—1s. 6d. per cwt. on raisins—additional duty on letters—additional duty on stamps—duty on all pleasure-horses, and on those for husbandry—The whole amount of the increase of the revenue by these additional duties is—1,730,000l.

FROM NORFOLK, March 21.
"There are now lying here, the President of 44, Chef. speak 44, Portsmouth 24, Augusta 16, and Experiment of 12 guns; as also the French frigate Semillante. Altho the crew of the last have arrived at one of the best ports on the continent for their safety, yet we find the wounds of our yankey brothers will not permit them to go without as much punishment as they can inflict with propriety, as she lies in our port; of course here is fighting amongst the sailors every day. The ship is at anchor within forty rods of the heart of the town.—Sometimes half of her saucy crew are on shore at a time; and are very free with their insults, which our countrymen cannot, and will not bear."
Extract of a letter from Capt. Morris, of the United States frigate N. York, to his friend in N. York, dated Baffeterre Roads, March 2d, 1801.
"A British man of war has just arrived here from England, with orders for their ships to detain all Danish, Swedish, and Russian vessels they may fall in with. In consequence, three prizes were sent into this road yesterday."
"A very melancholy circumstance took place the day before yesterday, which has given me great unhappiness.—Mr. John Livingston and Mr. Williamson, both midshipmen of the New-York, had a dispute which they carefully concealed from me; and, in my absence, obtained liberty to go ashore with a determination of deciding the quarrel with pistols. They both fired together; poor Livingston was shot in the head, and expired in two hours afterwards. He was an open, brave, and generous man; and bade fair to make a valuable officer."
From the Mediterranean.
Capt. Lovett, arrived here yesterday from Alicante, informs, that he fell in with the French squadron, which escaped out of Brest, about 20 leagues on the Barbary coast, bound up the Mediterranean; that he spoke an American vessel who had been boarded by the above squadron, and treated politely. Capt. Lovett further informs, that the U. S. ship George Washington, captain Bainbridge, had returned from Constantinople, to Algiers, and after tarrying there a short time was suffered to proceed home, she brought a number of French prisoners from that place to Alicante, and sailed from thence with the Rover, and several other American vessels, which she convoyed. The crew were in good health. All American vessels bound up the Mediterranean are compelled to ride quarantine for forty days, before they are permitted to enter any port. Since the rupture between England and Northern Powers, upwards of 300 sail of Swedish and Danish vessels have been sent into Gibraltar.

A writer in a late London paper, after making a number of observations on the Northern Confederacy, says, "I shall only add a word or two respecting the great advantage and profit which the United States of America must derive from a war between us and the Northern Powers. Besides, supplying us with a great proportion of those articles of trade which we now purchase from those who can scarcely be called our customers, besides selling us great quantities of pitch, tar, turpentine, pot and pearl ashes, and iron: besides this rivalry in commerce, America will become a most dangerous rival to the Northern Powers in Navigation. The carrying trade of the Baltic will pass entirely into her hands. Those riches which the Russians, Prussians Swedes and Danes, but particularly the two latter, have exerted from the necessities of Holland, France and
Spain, will cease to flow into their treasuries; and these nations unable any longer to purchase even a precarious protection for the remnant of their trade from the Powers of the North, will gladly transfer their custom to a flag under which their property will have a chance of escaping the vigilance of our cruisers. If America makes a proper use of the advantage that presents itself, if she adheres faithfully to her treaty with us, which contains a formal protest against the present pretensions of the Northern Powers, the war, which now appears inevitable between us and those powers will be for her a golden harvest. Every sack of coffee, every barrel of sugar, in short, the whole of the produce of those W. I. Islands, which are not in our hands, must rot upon the ground, or must, be carried on by the aid of American bottoms. Nay the trade in Europe between our several maritime enemies, must be carried on by the aid of American ships. No other flag will in any case, shelter it from our hostility. The whole list of maritime powers, from Russia to Spain, must become tributary to this solitary symbol of friendship with Britain; and it cannot but operate as an alleviation of the evil they endure, when they reflect that the riches which their malice is thus pouring into the lap of America will in great part, find their way to the treasures of that very nation whom they wish to impoverish and destroy."

The Treaty of Peace
BETWEEN FRANCE & GERMANY.
HIS Majesty the Emperor, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French People, being equally desirous to put an end to the miseries of War, have resolved to proceed to the conclusion of a definitive Treaty of Peace and Friendship.
His said Imperial and Royal Majesty, not less earnestly desiring that the Germanick Empire should participate in the blessings of peace; and the present circumstances not allowing the time necessary to consult the Empire, and for its Deputies to take part in the negotiation; his said Majesty also, considering what had been agreed to by the Deputation of the Empire at the Congress of Rastadt, has resolved, in conformity to the practice in similar circumstances, to stipulate in the name of the Germanick Body.
In consequence whereof, the contracting parties have appointed as their Plenipotentiaries, viz.
His Imperial Majesty, the Sieur Louis, Count of the H. R. Empire and of Cobentzel, Knight of the Golden Fleece, Grand Cross of the Royal Order of St. Stephen, and of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Chamberlain, and now Privy Counsellor of his said Imperial and Royal Majesty, his Minister of Conferences, and Vice Chancellor of Court and State; —
And the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French People, Citizen Joseph Bonaparte, Counsellor of State; —
Who, after exchanging their full powers, have agreed upon the following Articles: —
Article I. In future, and forever, there shall be peace, amity, and good understanding between his Majesty the Emperor, King of Hungary and Bohemia, stipulating alike in his own name and in that of the Germanick Empire, and the French Republic; his said Majesty engaging to procure the ratification of the present Treaty by the said Empire, in good and due form. The utmost attention shall be used on both sides to maintain perfect harmony, and to prevent every kind of hostility by sea and land, and from whatever cause or under whatever pretext, carefully exerting themselves to preserve the union so happily re-established. No assistance or protection shall be given, directly or indirectly, to those who attempt to injure either of the contracting parties.
II. The cession of the late Belgick Provinces to the French Republic, stipulated in the 3d Article of the Treaty of Campo Formio, is herein renewed in the most formal manner; inasmuch that his Imperial and Royal Majesty, for himself and his successors, and alike in his own name, and in that of the Germanick Empire, renounces all his rights and titles to the said Provinces, which shall be possessed in perpetuity, and in full sovereignty and property by the French Republic, with all the territorial possessions depending on them.
His Imperial and Royal Majesty, with the formal consent of the Empire, cedes in like manner to the French Republic.
1. The county of Falkenstein, with its dependencies.
2. The Frichthal, and all the territory of the House of Austria situated on the left bank of the Rhine, between Zurzach and Basle; the French Republic reserving to herself the power of ceding the latter country to the Helvetic Republic.
III. In like manner, and in renewal and confirmation of the VIIIth article of the Treaty of Campo Formio, his Majesty the Emperor and King shall possess, in complete sovereignty and property, the undermentioned territories, viz.
Iliria, Dalmatia, and the late Venetian Isles in the Adriatic thereon depending; the mouths of the Cattaro, and the city of Venice; the Lagunas and the countries lying between the Hereditary States of his Majesty the Emperor and King, and the Adriatic sea and the Adige, from the point where it leaves the Tyrolese until where it flows into that sea. The Thalweg of the Adige shall form the line of demarcation; and as the said line will divide the cities of Verona and Porto Legnago into two parts, on the middle of the bridges of these cities there shall be established draw-bridges to mark the line of separation.
IV. The 18th article of the Treaty of Campo Formio is also renewed, in so far as his Majesty the Emperor and King engages to cede to the Duke of Modena, as an indemnification for the country which this Prince and his heirs had in Italy, the Brisgaw, which he will possess on the same conditions as those by virtue of which he possessed the Modenese.
V. It is further agreed that his
Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany shall renounce for himself and his successors the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the Isle d'Elbe depending thereon, as well as all right and titles resulting therefrom, which shall henceforth be possessed in full sovereignty and property by his Royal Highness the infant Duke of Parma. The Grand Duke shall obtain a full indemnity for his Italian States in Germany. He shall dispose of his personal and private property as he may think proper. All debts, establishments, &c. of the Grand Duchy, with the sums duly mortgaged on the country, shall pass to the new Grand Duke.
VI. His Majesty the Emperor and King, as well in his own name as in that of the German Empire, consents that the French Republic shall henceforth possess in full sovereignty and property the countries and domains situated on the left bank of the Rhine, and which form part of the Germanic Empire; so that conformably to what had been expressly consented to at the Congress of Rastadt, by the Deputies of the Empire, and approved by the Emperor, the Thalweg of the Rhine shall henceforth be the boundary between the French Republic and the Germanic Empire, viz. from the spot where the Rhine quits the Helvetic territory, to that where it enters the Batavian territory.
In consequence whereof, the French Republic formally renounces all possessions on the right bank of the Rhine, and consents to restore to those to whom they belong, the fortresses of Dusseldorf, Ehrenbreitstein, Philipsburg, the fort of Cassel and other fortifications about Mentz on the right bank, the fort of Kehl and Old Brisac, on express condition, that all these places remain in the state they shall be found at the time of their evacuation.
VII. And as in consequence of the cession which the Empire makes to the French Republic, several Princes and States of the Empire are particularly dispossessed, in whole or in part, whilst it remains with the Germanic Empire collectively to support the losses resulting from the stipulations of the present Treaty, it is agreed between his Majesty the Emperor and King, as well in his own name as in that of the Germanic Empire, and the French Republic, that in conformity to the principles formerly established at Rastadt, the Empire shall be bound to give to such Hereditary Princes as are dispossessed on the left bank of the Rhine an indemnity which shall be taken from, the dominions of the said Empire according to the arrangements which shall be hereafter determined, agreeably to this basis.
[The Articles, 8, 9, and 10 relate to the Debts and sequestrations in the ceded Countries.]
XI. The present Treaty is declared common to the Batavian, Helvetic, Ligurian, and Cisalpine Republics.
The Contracting Parties mutually guarantee the independence of the said Republics, and the right of the inhabitants to adopt such form of Government as they may think proper.
XII. His Imperial and Royal Majesty renounces for himself and his successors, in favor of the Cisalpine Republic, all the rights and titles arising from these rights which his Majesty might pretend to possess, to all the countries which he possessed before the war, and which according to the terms of the 8th article of the Treaty of Campo Formio, now constitute part of the Cisalpine Republic, which shall possess them in full sovereignty and property, with all the territorial estates that depend upon them.
XIII. His Imperial and Royal Majesty, as well in his own name as in that of the Germanic Empire, confirms the annexation already agreed to by the Treaty of Campo Formio, of the ci-devant Imperial Fiefs to the Ligurian Republic, and renounces all the rights and titles arising from these rights on the said Fiefs.
XIV. In conformity to the 11th article of the Treaty of Campo Formio, the navigation of the Adige, constituting the limits between his Imperial Majesty and King, and the Cisalpine Republic, shall be free, without the establishment of any duties or impositions on either side, and without stationing on it any armed vessel.
XV. All the prisoners of war made on both sides, as well as hostages either carried off or given during the war, who may not have been yet restored, shall be returned within forty days from the date of the signing of the present Treaty.
XVI. The landed and personal property, which has not been alienated, belonging to his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles, and to the heirs of her late Royal Highness Madame the Archduchess Christina, which are situated in the countries ceded to the French Republic, shall be restored to
them on the condition that they shall be sold in the space of three years.
The same provision is agreed to with respect to the landed and personal property of their Royal Highnesses the Archduke Ferdinand, and Madame the Archduchess Beatrix, his consort, which are situated in the territory of the French Republic.
XVII. The 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 23d articles of the Treaty of Campo Formio are especially renewed, in order that they may be executed, according to their form and tenor, as if they were inserted word for word in the present Treaty.
XVIII. The contributions, impositions, and warlike supplies of every kind, demanded and enforced by the armies, shall cease from the date of the Exchange of the Ratifications given to the present Treaty on the one part by his Majesty the Emperor, and the Germanic Empire, and the other part, by the French Republic.
XIX. The present Treaty shall be ratified by his Majesty the Emperor and King, by the Empire, and the French Republic, within 30 days or sooner if possible; and it is agreed that the armies of the two Powers shall remain in their present position, both in Italy and Germany, till the said ratifications be interchanged at Luneville by the respective Plenipotentiaries.
It is also agreed, that ten days after the said exchange of ratifications, the armies of his imperial Majesty shall re-enter his hereditary possessions, which the French armies shall evacuate in that space of time; and that within 30 days after the said exchange, the French armies shall have evacuated the whole territory of the said Empire.
Done and Signed at Luneville, 20th Pluviose, ninth year of the French Republic, (9th Feb. 1801.)
LOUIS COUNT COBENTZEL, JOSEPH BONAPARTE.
NEW-YORK, March 28.
We are informed by a gentleman who came down the North river in a sloop yesterday, that there are between thirty and forty vessels at anchor between this city and West-Point, bound up; and that the freshets are so great, that there are no floods in the river. The rapidity with which the water runs down is so great, that it must be a fair and stiff breeze to carry a vessel against the current.
We further learn, that at Albany the water is several feet higher than the docks; which has prevented several vessels loading for this city.
APRIL 4. From Washington, March 20.
Citizen Louis Andre Pichon, at present Charge d'affairs and Consul-General from the French Republic, during the years '93, '94 and '95, was Secretary to the Legation under the Ministers Genet and Fauchet. After his return to France, he was constantly employed in the department of Exterior Relations, until his late arrival in this country, except for a short period, when on particular emergencies he filled temporary missions to Holland and Switzerland. He was sent to Holland in 1798, at the time when the rupture took place between the Minister La Croix, and the Generals Daendels and Joubert, which produced a revolution in the government. He remained some time with citizen Roberjot, who being nominated to Rastadt, Citizen Pichon continued, and was in some measure Charge d'Affairs with the Secretary of Legation, who served under the Minister La Croix, and whom it was thought proper for to replace for a time, on account of the part he had taken against that Minister. During his residence in Holland, Citizen Pichon renewed with Mr. Murray, Minister resident of the United States at the Hague, the negotiations which had recently been broken off at Paris; and it is believed the nomination was made by the United States, of the Envoys who signed the last Convention.
Citizen Pichon was sent to Switzerland, at the period when the Minister Perrochet had sided with the Helvetic Directory against Gen. Massena; it was thought necessary to recall the Minister. At his return he was nominated Secretary to the French Minister appointed to negotiate with the Envoys from the United States, and it is known that Citizen Pichon greatly contributed to the favorable issue of that negotiation; it was equally well known, that while Citizen P. was in the department of foreign relations, especially since the time when American affairs (which were also under the superintendence of the department in which he was employed) had assumed the unfortunate aspect which they had worn for the last three years, he relaxed not in his endeavors, even at the risk of sacrificing his highest interests, to incline the French government to conciliatory measures, and to oppose the attempts made at Paris to produce a state of things calculated to precipitate both parties into violent
measures, and which might have effected a rupture equally injurious in its consequences to both countries.
This explanation has been thought expedient, in order to remove any impressions, which may have been made by paragraphs that have appeared in a Philadelphia print, which in ascribing to the agents of the French Republic in this country correspondences which do not exist, and an interference in American politics which they altogether disclaim, may tend to revive feelings that, for the interests of both nations ought to be repressed.
BOSTON, APRIL 11.
A large fire proof brick store, at N. York, owned by Mr. Walton, was blown down on Sunday night, the 29th inst. The Essex frigate dragged her anchors and went on shore; but it is said, received no material damage.
In the English House of Commons, the 16th Feb. Mr. Pitt being called upon for the reasons of his resignation, said he had no objection to state the fact. — "I, and some of my colleagues in office, did recommend a measure, (the Catholic emancipation) which, under the circumstances of the Union, we thought of great importance to the completing of that measure, and the full attainment of all those advantages which we expected to derive from it. We felt that conviction so strong, that the measure appeared to us to be indispensable; but finding we could not propose it from Government, we thought it inconsistent with our duty and our honour, to continue in office. What line others shall pursue, with regard to this question, I know not. As to myself, the conduct which I shall pursue on it, or any other measure, will be always that, which shall, to the best of my knowledge and judgment, most conduce to the tranquillity, the strength, and the happiness of the country."
The population of this town, agreeably to the census lately taken, is as follows: — White males 12245; white females 12465; blacks, 1170 — Total 24,880. In 1791, the population was a fraction over 18,000.
NEWBURY-PORT, APRIL 10. Extract of a letter from an American gentleman at St. Kitts, to the Editor, dated MARCH 12, 1801.
"In consequence of the orders of the British government to detain all Danes and Swedes, the English cruisers bring in all, under those colors—little passage boats not excepted. The inhabitants of St. Bartholomews, alarmed at this unexpected conduct, are shipping their property from the island as fast as possible. The frigate Andromeda, a few days since, cut out several vessels from that port. The Arab, sloop of war, has fallen in with a Danish brig, and engaged her thirty minutes—what were the particulars of the engagement it is hard to ascertain; the brig however was not taken. The King's prohibition of the exportation of any thing that can be called food for man will soon make provisions scarce in the colonies. Beef, pork, butter, hams, &c. must come from America as well as Flour. If the U. States can consistently avoid war in these distressing times, the farmers must accumulate property amazingly."
"Com. Barry and the vessels in this station are all out except the Warren; — she remains here on account Capt. Barron's sickness, who has been confined eighteen days with a dangerous fever— but is recovering."
"From the manoeuvres of the English, I judge there is some expedition on foot, against either St. Bartholomews, St. Martins or Santa Cruz. — The Cork fleet has just arrived."
DANISH AMBASSADOR.
Late French papers mention, that M. OLSEN, the Danish Ambassador, was to embark at Bourdeaux for the United States; and that the object of his mission was reported to be a new commercial arrangement between the two countries.

LINE'S On the DEATH of a beloved only SON. Translated from a Danish Inscription, by Thomas Campbell, Esq. Author of "The Pleasures of Hope."
CAN mortal solace ever raise The broken pillar of my days; Or fane restore a form so dear As that which lies unconscious here; Ah no, my DARCO, latest given, And last reclaimed gift of Heaven! Possessing thee, I still could bless One ling'ring beam of happiness: My lov'd my lost, my only care, I vainly thought with thee to share Thy heart's discourse so gently kind, And mould to worth thy pliant mind; Nor warn'd of all my future woe, Presum'd on happiness below? But losing thee, my blooming boy, I cannot lose another joy; For all that stay'd my earthly trust, With thee is buried in the dust!
Nine charming years had fraught with grace Thy sprightly soul and lovely face, Where barfness had not planted fear, Nor sorrow wrung our silent tear; But frank and warm my DARCO flew To share each welcome and adieu— Each word, each step, look to tend, My child, my scholar and my friend! Oh, when his gaily smiling talk Endear'd my sweet, my summer walk; Or when I sat at day's decline, And clasp'd his little hand in mine, How many woes were then forgot— How blissful seem'd his father's lot! And breathing love, my bosom said, Thus on a dying couch when laid, Thus shall I bid thee, DARCO, stand, And grasp thee with my failing hand; Cold, cold, thou pledge of future charms, As her who gave thee to my arms, My buried hopes thy grave is one— And Mary sleeps beside her son! Now hush, my heart, afflicting Heaven, Thy will be done, thy solace given; For mortal hand can never raise The broken pillar of my days, Or earth restore a form so dear As that which lies unconscious here!
