POLITICAL.
From the Baltimore Evening Post. THE enormous debt of Great-Britain has rendered the idea of millions of guineas so familiar that we speak and think of sums of money, the amount of which the mind can hardly comprehend, with the same ease as of the largest of a beggar.
On the first day of January 1806, the debt of the United Kingdoms, exclusive of the unfunded army and navy debt for the last three months, amounted to 568 millions of pounds sterling—to avoid fractions, say it was 600 millions, a sum most probably below the truth.
If a public debt be a public blessing, the people of England, are supremely happy—as a proof of their happiness, let it be remembered that more than one half of the laboring class are paupers—dependent upon the exactions of government from richer individuals for a miserable existence!
The United States, with a territory of twenty times the extent of Great-Britain, and with a population exceeding one half the amount of that of the United Kingdoms, has a debt not exceeding, at the utmost, fifty millions of dollars, or a little more than ten millions of pounds sterling—the amount of two year's poor rates in England only.
British emigrations, quartered in different parts of our country, abound with the secret service money of their nation, would fain persuade us that "republicanism means nothing." Will the honest yeomanry of the U. States believe them? Are they so blinded by the sophistry of pensioned prostitutes as to be gulled out of the blessings of freedom?
Americans, your country is the favorite of providence—the asylum of peace, liberty, and plenty—the only sure abode of private happiness and public tranquility—guard with every vigilance the blessings of heaven—put your own shoulders to the wheel—to continue the states "free, sovereign and independent," and the God of battles will alike assist in the maintenance of your liberties as he did in the achievement of them.
A Dialogue between a Federalist and a Democrat.
Federalist. Well, do you hold to your old Democratic principles yet?
Democrat. Are you not a Democrat?
Fed. No, I am not.
Dem. You do not like Democracy then?
Fed. No, I do not.
Dem. Then you like Monarchy I suppose?
Fed. No, I do not.
Dem. Then you prefer Aristocracy I suppose?
Fed. No, not I!
Dem. Well, sir, you say you like neither monarchy, aristocracy, nor democracy, I wish to know what sort of government you and your adherents would wish to introduce into the U. States; for I know there is only those three sorts of government that I have read or heard of, either in ancient or modern history, tho' I know they have different modifications each of them; but what you and your party would be at I cannot conceive, unless you would be considered Jacobins or disorganizers, as you are pleased to call democrats.
Fed. Oh no, we like a fair elective government.
Dem. But now you contradict your former assertion; for a fair elective government is a democracy; but I believe I understand you; you and your party, I suppose, wish to have a President and Vice President elected by 14 votes against 162.
Fed. I think you are pretty saucy and impertinent.
Dem. I thought when you began you would be mad before you got through, but I hope you won't kill me as Selfridge did Austin, because I have caught you in your own trap, as I can
any of your party in the Union, for I don't believe there is a federalist in the United States but what is a hypocrite or a dupe.
Fed. Away with you, I want no more of your sauce.
Dem. Adieu.
Fed. Good by, and the devil go with you!
Dem. I don't believe he will leave such a friend as you are to go with me.
LATE & IMPORTANT FOREIGN NEWS.
Movements of Prussia.
GERMANY. HAMBURG, Sept. 27. The King of Prussia has left Berlin to put himself at the head of his army!—On the 26th, he was at Magdeburg, on his way to his head-quarters at Naumburg, (in the centre of Saxony.) His Queen accompanied him; but she is to return immediately to Berlin.
OF RUSSIA.
Russia does not appear to be an idle spectator of the approaching quarrel between France and Prussia. The Russian troops are encamped; and magazines for their use are collecting at Warsaw, (in adjacent Poland) where every preparation is made for an army entering upon a campaign.
OF SWEDEN.
The King of Sweden has left Pomerania for Schonen, which has occasioned a report, that his zeal against Bonaparte had decreased.—But a letter from Elsinore of the 20th says he will return in a fortnight.
It is reported, that the Elector of Hesse has declared himself neutral, and obtained the consent of Prussia in that course: but it is not probable.
The troops which lately broke up from the French camp at Zeitz, and advanced to Nimeguen, (on the borders of Westphalia) have, in consequence of orders from Paris, retrograded, and reoccupied their former position.
The French Minister, La Forest, has every thing in readiness at Naumburg for his departure, for France. Many of his German servants are discharged.
The Prussian H. Q. will be transferred to Hof.
The Russians, Saxons and Hessians, are advancing, to act, it is said, offensively.
The Marquis Lucchesini from France, has declared that the differences between Prussia and France, will yet be amicably terminated.
The whole French force in Germany, is estimated at 170,000 men!
The Paris papers mention, that Talleyrand, Maret, and Gen. Clark, the persons with whom Lord Lauderdale had most to do, have quitted Paris, to follow the Emperor to Menz.
BRANNAU, SEPT. 16.
Gen. St. Hilaire, with 9000 men still occupy this city. Marshal Soult's corps is reinforced to 35,000 men.
RATISON, SEPT. 21.
Soult's division will remove to-morrow for Ingolstadt. Other French corps are arriving.—These movements are against Prussia.
PARIS, OCT. 5.
The Russian Minister, M. Von Knobdorff, left this city in the night between the 1st and 2d inst. and followed Bonaparte to Menz, (or, as some of the maps spell it Mayence, situated at the confluence of the Mayn into the Rhine, and but a short distance from Hanau, the chief place of one of the King of Prussia's allies, the Elector of Hesse.)
When the French Minister at Berlin, applied for his passports, he was informed that he should receive them from his Prussian Majesty, at head-quarters.—These two articles indicate another attempt at negotiation before an appeal is made to the sword.
LONDON, OCT. 9.
The naval laurels of Britain still flourish and increase. Sir Samuel Hood, the nephew of the gallant Lords Hood and Bridport, and the presumptive heir of the latter, has captured four fine French frigates, and a fifth has struck her flag to the Canopus, under the command of Ad. Louis. The frigates taken by Sir Samuel Hood were full of troops, and are supposed to have been destined to reinforce the garrisons in the French West-India Islands; though some are of opinion that they were sent out from France to retake Buenos Ayres, before any succours could arrive from this country.
A letter from Plymouth states, that eleven of the homeward-bound Jamaica Fleet have foundered in a violent gale of wind.
The Corps of 20,000 Saxons under the Duke of Saxe Weimar, had joined the Prussian troops.
unfortunately foundered, 40 remain unaccounted for, viz.—22 are bound to London, 1 to Whitehaven, 5 to Greenock and Glasgow, 7 to Liverpool, 1 to Leith, 3 to Halifax, and 1 to Philadelphia. Fifty-nine, the names of which are known, and six (names unknown) were safe on the 25th August, under convoy of the Penguin.
LONDON, OCT. 9.
Lord Lauderdale's return.
Yesterday afternoon, Lord Howick, Secretary of State, sent a Note to the Lord Mayor, inclosing a copy of a message by Telegraph, just received from Deal:—
"TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGE," "From Deal, 7 minutes past 1, P. M. Oct. 8, 1806."
"A Messenger arrived. Lord Lauderdale quits Paris to-morrow. Clyde frigate ordered to attend."
Immediately the Lord Mayor read Lord Howick's note to the Exchange: and sent it to Lloyd's—where it passed universal satisfaction, evidenced by repeated huzzas and bursts of applause.
Oct. 9, P. M.
Rupture of Negotiation.
The Lord Mayor's information was greeted with cheers from all parts of the Exchange, and at Lloyd's, with three times three. Joy pervaded every countenance, and every man congratulated his neighbour upon the failure of the negotiation.
Mr. Lisle was the messenger who brought the tidings of Lord Lauderdale's intended departure.—He left Paris the 7th at five o'clock in the morning and arrived at Boulogne at night, immediately embarked in a French boat, was picked up by the Dantes pram, which landed him the next morning at Dover.
Lord Lauderdale's return, we think, must not have been expected by Ministers; or they would not have dispatched Rofs to have as they did.
The Ministerial Prints say, the negotiation is at an end, unless M. Champagny, the French negotiator, was authorised to accede to his Lordship's terms.
Immediately on the arrival of Lisle, at Deal, Ad. Holloway sent express to the squadrons; and ordered Commodore Owen, in the Clyde, to wait off Boulogne, for Lord Lauderdale; who may be expected in town on Sunday, at farthest.
This news gives us pleasure.—The negotiation was never popular.—The present state of Europe does not admit of secure peace.—But the war was and is popular—never was war more so.

ON the evening of the 9th inst. Mr. Robert Smith, a young gentleman of Louisville, put an end to his existence.—The particulars of this unhappy event are uncommon.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 14.
ARRIVAL OF CAPTS. LEWIS AND CLARK AT ST. LOUIS.
This desirable and unexpected event, took place on Tuesday, the 23d of October, about the hour of 10 o'clock in the morning.
The following were the Toasts drank at the dinner:
1. The President of the United States—The friend of science, the polar star of discovery, the philosopher and the patriot. 2. The heads of departments—he pillars that support the world's best hope. 3. The Missouri expedition—may the knowledge of the newly explored regions of the west, be the least benefit we may derive from this painful and perilous expedition. 4. The hardy followers of captains Lewis and Clark—may they be rewarded by the esteem of their fellow citizens. 5. The United States—whilst they tolerate a spirit of enquiry, may they never forget, united they stand; but divided they fall. 6. The territory of Louisiana—freedom, without bloodshed, may her actions duly appreciate the blessing. 7. The memory of Christopher Columbus—may those who imitate his hardships, perseverance and merit, never have, like him to encounter public ingratitude. 8. The federal constitution—may the eagle of America convey it to the remotest part of the globe; and whilst they read they cannot but admire. 9. The memory of the illustrious Washington, the father of America—may his guardian spirit still watch over us, and prove a terror to the engines of despotism. 10. The capital of the United States—may the goddess of liberty never cease to preside there. 11. Peace to all nations; but submission to none. 12. The commerce of the United States—the basis of the political elevation of America. 13. Agriculture and industry—the farmer is the best support of government. 14. Our fathers who shed their blood and laid down their lives to purchase our independence—may we emulate their actions, and inherit their virtues. 15. The Missouri—under the auspices of America, may it prove a vehicle of wealth to all nations of the world. 16. Our national council—may the baneful influence of private ambition and political intrigue be ever expelled thence by the genuine spirit of republicanism. 17. The fair daughters of Louisiana—may they ever bestow their smiles on hardihood and virtuous valor.
After captains Lewis and Clark retired.
18. Captains Lewis and Clark—their perilous services entear them to every American heart.
Death of Mr. Fox.—It is to be feared, that we have lost by this death, a powerful friend, and that no successor can be found who will so eminently
by combine the ability with the disposition to reconcile our differences on terms of mutual benefit. We believe it may be stated, as a fact, that this great man has been, in every vicissitude, the steady, invariable friend of the United States.
A writer in the United States Gazette, on the "conquest of Buenos Ayres," says, that in the year 1793, there was imported into Cadiz, only, from Spanish America, in the period of six months, the following merchandise, on board 180 ships:
5,999,236 dollars in gold & silver coin 335,414 dollars in bullion 36,672 dollars in wrought plate 6,500 dollars in gold bullion 57,924 boxes of sugar 12,461 do. of a large size 317 large loaves of clayed do. 292 barrels and bds. of do. 5,731 quintals of do. 59,746 fanegas (i. e. 11 cwt.) of cocoa 1,968,656 lb. of do. 1,440 feroons and bags do. 10,150 feroons of indigo 42 bales and barrels of do. 1,729 feroons of cochineal 361 bales of sheeps' wool 2,319 do. of pepper (of what kind we know not) 1,091 do. of jalap 940 do. faraparilla 3,769 bales, bags and feroons of cotton 1,220 bales, bags and barrels of coffee 4,031 large and small cases of Jesuits bark 35,216 quintals of log wood 61,992 hides 335,000 horns 34,1918 plates and tips (of horn) 9,524 tanned hides 223 bags of Vigonia wool 9,242 bars of copper 100 pigs do. 38 jars of balsam 148 lbs. do. 3,591 bars of tin.
Besides a great variety of other effects of less importance, many of which will be enumerated in the following list.—Of the preceding articles there were imported from Buenos Ayres in the two last quarters of the year, the following, viz.
409,614 dollars in coin and bullion 204 bags and bales of sheeps' wool 332,216 hides 19,300 horns 173,500 plates and tips of horn 111 tanned hides 100 bags of Vigonia (or Vicunia) wool 221 barrels of tallow 278 bales do. 152 barrels of salted beef 8 dozen tongues 6,700 lbs. of bristles. Skins of various kinds, such as those of sheep, horses, tygers, ostricks, dogs, the chinuill, seals, hares, foxes, &c. &c. As this statement is only for the imports of the last six months, it is but reasonable to suppose that those of the preceding six must have been nearly equal, and consequently it will not be unfair to presume that double the quantity cited in this last statement may have been the general average of the importations from Buenos Ayres to Cadiz in common years.
Duels were so common in the reign of Louis XIII, (about 1610) that M. Voussain, in his Memoires Historiques, vol. ii. p. 259, informs us, that the first news inquired after every morning, when the people met in the streets or public places, were, ordinarily, Who fought yesterday? and in the afternoon, Who fought this morning?

Portsmouth,
Tuesday, December 2, 1806.
FOREIGN.
The state of European affairs cannot be developed from the contradictory and very uncertain information which the last accounts bring us. The state of the most important negotiation between England and France, at Paris, is not disclosed. The English minister has retired, and the ministers of France were no longer engaged in encouraging it. But how far the negotiation proceeded, and from what articles the disagreement apparently arose, cannot be known. Never were appearances of war more evident, and never could we be less able to point in what direction it may proceed.
By the Pilgrim, Capt. Wheelwright, from Rotterdam, we have received Holland-papers to the 17th October. They are full of war looking movements in France, Prussia, Russia, &c. The Prussian army had actually been joined by 20,000 Saxons, and the Russians, in much strength—though at a great distance—were on the march for Germany. Every engine within the control of Bonaparte, appeared to be in motion, to give effect and success to his attack on Prussia. At the same time negotiations were still in operation between France and Prussia; and there were men of deep calculation who pronounced that war with Prussia would not take place. Such is the riddle.
One thing appears certain—the continuation of the war—Great Britain and Russia against France.
Banks of the Nissa, Sept. 24. The Servians and the Turks had a most desperate battle on the 29th and 30th of August. The former were surrounded by 15,000 Turks during the action; but being reinforced by 7,000 men, the tide of victory turned in their favour, and they defeated the Turks with great slaughter, leaving upwards of 4,000 dead on the field. They also took 500 horses, a number of mules, ammunition, cannon, and many prisoners.
FROM SPAIN. Capt. Clark, from Cadiz, arrived Friday last, informs that when he failed, a fleet of ten sail of the line, (nine French and one Spanish, the remains of the combined fleet defeated off Trafalgar) had dropped down, with wood and water a-board, to proceed to sea the first opportunity. It was conjectured they were bound to the Spanish Main; and that Admiral Collingwood with four sail of the line, was cruising off the harbour. Best. pap.
ST. DOMINGO CLAIMS. Letters from Paris state, that Commissioners have been appointed to report to the Emperor Napoleon, on the bills drawn by the French Agents for supplies furnished at St. Domingo. Gen. Ferrand, we learn, now pays cash for supplies furnished that colony.
The French have about 3,000 troops, under Gen. Ferrand, in the city of St. Domingo. Sometimes small detachments are sent to harass the blacks; but no idea has been entertained of any general operations against them until after peace with Great Britain.
A letter, received from Natchitoches, confirms the information received by way of New Orleans—the Spanish troops had re-crossed the Sabine, and in consequence orders had been issued by general Wilkinson, directing the return of the United States troops, to their former stations.
Massachusetts Election.
No official returns can yet be communicated; but we think ourselves safe in hazarding a statement that the delegation will be composed of eleven Democrats, and six Federalists. For the satisfaction of the public, we subjoin the names of the gentlemen supposed to be elected. (Nat. Aeg.)

Hampshire S. William Ely. Hampshire N. Samuel Taggart. Berkshire Barnabas Bidwell. Bristol Josiah Deane. Plymouth Joseph Barker. Barnstable Isaiah L. Green. York Richard Cutts. Cumberland Daniel D. Dyer. Kennebec John Chandler. Lincoln Orchard Cook. * These in Italic are federal. * New member.
We are told of a Federal majority in several wards in New-York city. By a temporary resignation of their British friends to the public indignation, by a successful division of the republicans, and by an accommodation in the candidates proposed, the federalists have obtained with their allies, what they call a victory! The federal ticket is said to have succeeded in five out of nine wards.
[Salem Register.]
"Federalism looking up."—The federalists are continually boasting of an increase of their party. It is true, in the state of Connecticut, at their last election, they increased astonishingly!! 8 votes more were given for Gov. Trumbull than were given at a prior election; and 553 for the republican candidate more than he ever before received. So much for the increase of federalism in Connecticut. Thus in six months has it, in that state of steady habits, advanced more than 500 steps backwards! The federalists will have it that their party are gaining ground every where.
It has risen, they say, in New-Hampshire, notwithstanding every one of the present representatives to congress from that state are federalists, and the whole number to the next congress, who have been recently chosen, are republicans!! (Chronicle.)

WINTER.
THE short'ning day, the dark'ning clouds, Declare th' approach of Winter near; The falling leaves and lifeless flow'rs, A solemn, gloomy aspect wear. In vain I listen thro' the woods, Their pleasing melody is o'er; A solemn silence reigns around, Or howling winds tumultuous roar. The vernal season now is past, And all its smiling beauties fled; The fields have lost their gay attire, And all their glowing charms lie dead. Such, and so transient is our bliss, So are all fading earthly joys; The dazzling glories of the world Are all but empty glitt'ring toys. O let us then direct our hearts To scenes of pure delight and peace, Where joys unending ever bloom, Ecstatic joys that never cease.
CURE FOR THE DROPSY.
Mr. Printer, About four years since I providentially obtained of a French physician of eminence, a receipt to cure the Dropsy. I made it known to some of my acquaintance, who were afflicted with this malady: they made trial of the remedy, and with success; indeed, I have never known it to fail of effecting a cure, when the medicine has been properly made, duly taken, and persevered in. I could furnish many instances of its great and happy effects but I will mention one example only. A lady about seventy years old, had the Dropsy to that degree, that she was fearful to stand on her feet, lest her skin should burst. I saw her in that situation; and it was apprehended she would die in a short time. She however heard that I had a receipt to cure the Dropsy, and was anxious to experience it. She took the medicine, according to the prescription; in less than a week, by evacuation, the swelling of her body entirely abated, and, in a few weeks thereafter she was restored to perfect health. The receipt soon became in great demand. I furnished copies of it to divers persons and that it might be more generally known, I published it in the Centinel of Freedom. Since which I have, to the present period, been repeatedly called on by persons, not only in this state, but also in the state of N. York, for this receipt, and have this moment, finished copying it for a friend at a distance. To save myself the trouble, if possible, of transcribing the receipt, as heretofore, and that still greater publicity may be given to it, I request that you will again insert it in your paper; and should the printers of newspapers, in the United States, republish the receipt, they probably would render essential benefit to many of their fellow citizens. FRIEND OF MAN. Newark, Nov. 3, 1806.
THE RECIPE.
Put into a stone or earthen jug, a gallon of stale, sound cyder, together with a double handful of parsley roots and tops cut fine; a handful of scraped horse radish; two table spoonfuls of bruised mustard seed, half an ounce oxymel of squills, and one ounce of juniper berries. The liquor to be kept warm by the fire, twenty four hours: to be often agitated, and then strained for use. Dose, for an adult, half a wine glass full, three times a day, on a empty stomach. The dose may be increased if necessary. After the water shall be discharged, the patient should use moderate exercise, subsist on dry nourishing diet, and abstain from all liquids as much as possible. Newark Centinel.
HUMOROUS.
'What can possess you to go to Ireland,' exclaimed a friend of mine, 'where the hedges are lined with pikes and blunderbusses? Is it to contemplate famine and bogs, and bog-rotters, salmon-leaps, and relict spirits, so barbarously ignorant, that, in one of their late revolutionary battles, a rebel hair-dresser ran up to the muzzle of a cannon, to which an Artillery-man was just applying the match, and thrusting his wig into its mouth, exclaimed, the moment before he was blown to atoms, By St. Patrick, I have stopped your mouth my honey, for this time.' London paper.
ORIENTAL ANECDOTE.
A learned man made a practice of placing himself at a mosque, & preaching to the people. One of the congregation wept constantly. One day the preacher said, "My words make great impression on this man's heart which is the reason of his crying." Others observed thus to the man that wept. "The learned man does not make any impression on our minds; what kind of a heart must you have, to be always in tears." He answered, I do not weep at his discourse; but I had a goat, of whom I was exceedingly fond, when he grew old, he died; now whenever the learned man speaks and wags his chin, the goat comes to my remembrance, for he had just such a long beard."
