As the delinquents in this respect are numerous, it is impossible to wait on them personally, and this general notice must be all they receive from him.

DIRECTIONS TO THE PORTER
THOU faithful guardian of these peaceful walls,
Whose zealous care protects his master's gate;
If any stranger at his mansion calls,
Tell her at present I am not at home,
But hope she'll call again another day!
If Fortune, blindfold goddess chance to knock,
Or proud Ambition lure me to her arms,
Shut, shut the door, good John, quick turn the lock
And shield thy master from their syren charms.
If sober wisdom hither deigns to roam,
Nor let her in, nor send her quite away:
Tell her at present I am not at home,
But hope she'll call again another day!
If at my door a beauteous boy be seen,
His little feet have oft my threshold trod,
You know the offspring of the Cyprian queen,
His air—without his bow, bespeaks the God.
His gentle smiles admittance ever win,
Tho' oft deceiv'd—I prize the fond deluder;
Morn, noon and night, be sure you let him in,
For love, dear love, is never an intruder.
THE LUCKY FALL.
AN EPIGRAM.
TWO wanton Cupids took their stands
In the large orbs of Lucy's eyes—
A third, with supplicating hands
To gain admission vainly tries.
Fiercely they thrust the rogues away—
When lo! on Lucy's breast he fell,
And nestling there, I heard him say,
"Thanks, friends! This suits me quite as well."

EVIDENCE OF THE DIVINE EXISTENCE.
WE are conscious of our own existence,
and we are ever surrounded by an infinite
number of perceptible objects. It is evi-
dent that things have not lately begun to
exist. And it is a plain dictate of reason,
that something has existed from eternity.
For unless something has existed from
eternity, the universe must have sprung
into existence from nothing, without any
cause or reason. This supposition is too
absurd to be admitted. Something, then,
must have existed from eternity. This
eternal something cannot be matter. For
matter is not intelligent. But intelligent
beings do exist. And it is absurd to sup-
pose they derived their existence from un-
intelligent matter. For it is as much im-
possible that a cause should produce an
effect superior to itself, as that an effect
should exist without a cause. But intelli-
gence is infinitely superior to the proper-
ties of unintelligent matter. The former
could no more be produced by the latter
than something could be produced by no-
thing.<

mind in an unguarded point, and leaves us entirely at the mercy of those who resort to such an artifice. Such is the merit of Mr. Trumbull's poem of M'Fingal, and "O si sic omnia." But it is needless to expatiate on the dangers that result from genius when employed to burlesque things awful and sacred. As to the common herd of those miserable wretches who vent their spleen against the bible, their stupidity is an antidote to their malice. They seem destined by Heaven to burlesque the cause they advocate, and infidelity only suffers by their comments. As in religion, so in politics, they seem licensed by the unanimous consent of the community to make themselves despicable, and scribble themselves out of notice with an adroitness truly diverting. It is needless to add, Mr. Trumbull is not one of this sort, and we almost venture to assert that his maturer years would be shocked by a consideration of the licentious remarks of his more juvenile pages. We now proceed to notice sundry specimens of levity, such as we hope and trust he has now the magnanimity to reprobate. In the very outset of the poem we find these lines:—
"When Yankees skill'd in martial rule, First put the British troops to school, "Made them give up like saints complete, "The arm of flesh, and trust their feet, "And work like christians undissembling, "Salvation out by fear and trembling."
If the terrors of eternity, if the sufferings of our Saviour on Mount Calvary are not solemn mockery, what must we say of such levity as this on subjects so awful?
Again, "Where then when Tories scarce get clear, "Shall whigs and Congresses appear? "What rocks and mountains shall you call, "To wrap you over with their fall, "And save your heads in these sad weathers, "From fire and sword, from tar and feathers?"
What shall we say in extenuation of an offence so gross as the present, a parody on the words of our blessed Saviour himself when describing that tremendous scene which we are one day to become spectators of—the day of judgement?
We will now turn the reader's attention to one or two passages in the same poem, where holy things are spoken of with an irreverent and blameable levity. Describing the partisans of England, the poet says that amongst them there are
"Priests who if Satan would sit down, "To make a bible of his own; "Would gladly for the sake of mitres, "Turn his inspir'd and sacred writers; "Lawyers, who should he wish to prove, "His title to his old seat above, "Would if the cause he'd give them fees in, "Bring wits of ensue, our disclaim; "Plead for him boldly at the session, "And hope to put him in possession."
We would ask any man who regards religion more than wit, to overlook the latter if he can, and to reprobate a passage which imports that the devil is about to bring an action at law for the recovery of his seat in heaven; against whom? Let an expressive silence supply the chasm of the pen!!!! A few instances and we have done. Speaking of Clinton, Vaughan and Tryon, the Poet says:
"Oh had Great-Britain's godlike shore, "Produced but ten such heroes more, "They'd share the pains and hold the station, "Of the world's final conflagration; "Which when it's time comes at a stand, "Would find it's work all done & its hand."
Was it not in the power of a poet who possesses such uncommon genius for satire as Mr. Trumbull, to indulge his just and patriotic indignation against those three infamous incendiaries at a lighter expence? Why must the day of judgement be associated in his mirth; or is it necessary to throw an air of ridicule on that likewise? or in fine, must our patriotism be rated by our contempt of those awful truths which the holy scriptures inculcate? That such passages are not fortuitously adopted by this able writer is manifest from the unvaried tenour of his scriptural satires.—A liberty-pole is now the subject of his mirth.
"Will this vile pole devote to freedom, "Save like the Jewish pole in Edom; "Or, like the brazen snake of Moses, "Cure your crack'd skulls and batter'd noses."
The brazen serpent of Moses is here sarcastically called a snake, and the reader is left to judge from the strength of his own feelings the impression it makes. M'Fingal in another instance endeavours to prove the divine right of lying, by an example drawn from the same precedent.
"Quoth he for lies and promise-breaking "You need not be in such a taking; "For lying is we know and teach "The highest privilege of speech, "Whence children oft, as David says, "Laid claim to't in their earliest days."
The scriptural idea of punishment in a future life, M'Fingal thus ludicrously turns to deprivation of office in this:
"For hell is their's, the scripture shows, "Who dare the powers that be oppose; "And every one, I'm clear that 'tis so, "Will be damn'd forever ex-officio."
Wherever scripture is introduced if there is not an express allusion to, or parody of the passages, there is an oblique stroke of satire concealed. Have you not heard, (says a poet, who has been the pride
of his native country, and whose merits have been tested by continued admiration,) the ministerial writers
"Who loud as admiralty libel, "Read awful chapters from the bible, "And death and devilry denounc'd, "And show you how you'll soon be trounc'd."
Much undoubtedly may be said as an apology for the author. He wrote in the season of sanguine youth, when the wrongs and outrages committed on his country were recent on his mind. Goaded on by his generous and indignant feelings, he was not sparing or minutely nice in his terms of expression. Had he considered at that moment that he was abusing that excellent genius which a benevolent Deity had conferred on him by such unbecoming levities on the volume of inspiration, we are confident that he would have committed his poem to the flames before he would have suffered such licentious passages to have escaped from the press. With all respect for the genius which has so honourably distinguished itself, we conceive its impiety not beyond the reach of publick reprobation. X.
FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER. PIPING ALL HANDS!
The extortion of the innkeepers at Portsmouth, on persons arriving at that port, has long been proverbial: In a recent instance, however, an attempt of this nature was completely foiled. A few weeks ago, a gentleman, with his family, landed there, from the West-Indies, and intending to remain a short time until he could hear from his friends in London, applied to the landlord of the inn, to which he had been conducted, for accommodations: But was told that three bed-rooms could not be provided for his family unless he would engage them for a week certain, and that the lowest charge would be a guinea a day for the use of them. To this exorbitant demand the gentleman, after some expostulation, acceded. Soon afterwards, on going to the post-office, he found letters lying there for him, from his friends in London, requiring his immediate departure from that place, as soon as he should arrive. On his return to the inn, he informed the landlord of the circumstance, and hoped payment would not be insisted on for the rooms, which he had scarcely occupied, but to this, Boniface would by no means consent, and high words arose between the parties.—Captain L. of the royal navy, who was well-known to the landlord, happening to be in the house at the time, inquired into the circumstance, and discovering the imposition intended to be practised, offered to take the bargain off the gentleman's hands, which was cheerfully assented to by both parties, and the latter immediately departed with his family, after thanking the captain for his interposition. Immediate directions were given for the beds to be prepared, as Captain L. said it was his intention to sleep on board that night. "What, all three?" inquired the waiter. "To be sure! am I not to pay for them?" was the reply. In the evening the captain returned, bringing with him his boatswain and cabin boy, to whom he gave directions to occupy two of the beds, "and recollect, my lads," said he, "watch and watch every three hours pipe all hands for a general muster."
Those orders were strictly complied with, to the great annoyance of every guest in the house: In the morning the landlord complained heavily of the disturbance, and hoped the captain would discontinue it; but the latter said it was his way at sea and did he not pay for the rooms? Piping all hands was repeated on the second night, which produced fresh remonstrances from the landlord, who declared "that if such practices were continued it would be the ruin of his house, and he should be satisfied if the captain would pay for the night's occupation of the rooms, and discontinue his nocturnal alarms." Captain L. declared, "that sleeping on shore he found congenial to his health, and combining sea customs with land conveniences afforded him an ample fund of amusement."—The third night produced a repetition of the alarm; but, in the morning Boniface waited upon the disturber of his house, and with many bows and cringes informed him "that he was extremely willing to forego any charge for the three night's lodging, if the captain would consent to sleep on board his ship, where he might pipe all hands as frequently as he pleased;" to which offer, Captain L. with apparent reluctance, acceded.

BALTIMORE, November 1. FATAL DUEL.
ON the 17th October a dispute arose on board the frigate Essex, off Norfolk, between Dr. Hyde Ray and Mr. Vorhees, both of the United States Navy. The succeeding day, the latter sent a challenge, which was immediately accepted, and the parties repaired to the field the same evening. The articles agreed upon were, that the parties should stand at eight paces and exchange one fire, which proving ineffectual, each should then advance three paces and decide the affair with the sword. Mr. Vorhees fell at the first fire and soon expired. Dr. Ray is represented to have
acted with courage, honour and propriety. He would have shunned the bloody contest but that the laws of Society constrained him to accept a peremptory and unconditional invitation to the field.
NORFOLK, October 30.
We learn that Don Louis de Onis, the new Spanish Minister has expressed the most lively indignation at the unexpected insult upon the government which he represents, in the refusal to accredit him.—We are further informed, that the Minister has decided to quit the United States without delay, first suspending all the consular functions of the consuls of his nation in this country. The wisdom of this measure, on the part of our government remains to be proved by events. We venture to foretell that it will be the means of bringing further embarrassments upon our commerce. Publick Ledger.
PHILADELPHIA, October 19.
At the launch of the ship Francis at Seguin's ship-yard, a few days ago, there was a rope attached to the ship, which, when she went off, by some means entangled a boy of 12 or 15 years of age and hurled him after the ship, perhaps 60 feet out from the wharf. The child could not swim, but was seen by the surrounding crowds of people struggling for his life; when he had gone down once or twice and was nearly drowned, two well dressed gentlemen whose attention had previously been attracted by the ship's descent into the river, discovered the boy, they both of them instantly jumped into the water without putting off any clothes and swam off, both at the same time from different wharves, one of them caught the boy when he had sunk under water, held him up, while a boat had put off near enough to reach him an oar, and get him and the child into the boat—the other gentleman finding that relief was afforded, swam to shore.
This noble action of these two gentlemen, so highly honourable to their own feelings gave me heart-felt satisfaction, and I should be happy to hear their names, for however it may be said, it was no more than the duties of humanity called for, yet I regret to add, that numbers who were in lighter dress and more suited to swimming, did not appear as readily to receive the excitement of such honourable feelings.—Poulson.
NEW-YORK, November 3.
A letter from Naples, dated the 9th of September, gives the following account of the state of Mount Vesuvius.
"After a few days of tranquillity, the eruptions of Vesuvius recommenced. On the 4th of September, a new crater opened on the south-east, much larger than that which was formed in 1807. This mouth has since that time constantly vomited a vast torrent of lava, which takes its direction towards the town of Della Torre, which was formerly destroyed by an eruption of the volcano. This torrent divides in two branches, and forms an island, at the extremity of which the lava unites, and produces a lake of fire, in the district of Atrio del Cavallo. No damage has yet taken place; and there is nothing to be feared, unless the torrent should change its direction or become more impetuous.—In the night of the 5th, as in the month of August 1782, Vesuvius vomited an immense quantity of ashes, stones and smoke, forming upon the mountain a second mountain, the summit of which appeared to rise to the skies; but these substances receiving an impulsion absolutely perpendicular, have fallen into the crater, or its neighbourhood, but have not done any injury either to the inhabitants or the houses nearest the eruption. Several people have departed from the town to observe more closely this remarkable phenomenon.—Those who were led merely by curiosity, have gone as far as Portici-Resina, and Della Torre, where they have drunk to Mount Vesuvius, the eruptions of which, it is said, are among the causes of the goodness of the wine. The Philosophers, however, exposed themselves to every danger; and several learned men, loaded with chemical and physical instruments, have climbed the mountain to make experiments, the results of which will, without doubt, be made publick."
It is, (says the United States Gazette,) a little remarkable, and must strike the minds of Americans with some force, that not a single editor of a leading democratic paper in the United States ever saw America until since the termination of our revolutionary war, except the Editor of the National Intelligencer, which base and prostituted as it is, in many respects, is more American than those conducted by the foreigners whom Napoleon has sent among us. For this reason it has been more than once severely reviled and ridiculed by the Aurora. The editor has been styled "Silky Milky Smith," for not going with more boldness and with a less faltering step into every measure which was calculated to promote the interests and to meet the wishes of France.
On the contrary, there is not, so far as I know, a single editor of a federal paper in the United States who was not born and educated in the country, and must there-
fore be supposed to have a lively interest in its honour and prosperity, as well from uninterrupted habit as from the ties of consanguinity and friendship, and from the certainty that he must stand or fall with it.
SUICIDE.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Ralph Shrigly, a tailor, of this city, went into the shop of a Mr. Taylor, hair-dresser in Nassau-street, and in his absence took a razor and cut his throat from ear to ear—he expired in a few minutes. In his pocket was found a note, dated October 25, 1809, in which he declared his determination to destroy himself the first opportunity which offered.—He has left a wife and four children to lament his untimely death.
November 4.
By the arrivals yesterday, the editors of the New-York Gazette have received their complete files of London papers and Lloyd's lists down to the 6th of October, which afford the articles this day extracted; but the news is not of importance. One of our London papers, (the N. W. S. of October 1,) observes,
"We hardly ever recollect so remarkable a dearth of foreign news as at this moment; the interest of our domestic situation, however, makes up for it"—alluding to the change of administration.
LONDON, October 2.
All hope of co-operation from the Greys and Grenvilles, having vanished, the rump of the Ministry held a Council on Saturday, and we understand, they have resolved to submit the following arrangement of a Cabinet to His Majesty.
Mr. Perceval to be the First Lord of the Treasury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Lord Harrowby to be Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, in the room of Mr. Canning; but it is understood, that being out of health and unfit to execute the duties of the office, he consents to hold it only until the arrival of Lord Wellesley, to whom it is to be offered.
Mr. Robert Dundas Saunders to be Secretary of State for the War Department, in the room of Lord Castlereagh.
Lord William Bentinck to be Secretary at War, in the room of Lord Leveson Gower.
This plan certainly is not an extended and combined administration; but as by the exclusion of Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning the intrigue which produced the explosion has been brought to an end, by bestowing that place on Mr. Perceval, which was the grand object of Mr. Canning's ambition, it is expected that the business of the Cabinet will be conducted with harmony and good will.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has conducted himself on this delicate and interesting occasion with his characteristic good sense, delicacy and propriety. His sentiments upon the critical state of the empire, and the measures that have led to it, are not unknown; but he has thought it his duty to express to His Majesty his firm and unalterable determination to preserve the same course of neutrality which he has maintained, and which, from every feeling of dutiful attachment to His Majesty's person, from his reverence of the virtues, and from his confidence in the wisdom and solicitude of his Royal Father for the happiness of his people, he is sensible ought to be the course that he should pursue.
PARIS, September 26.
According to letters from Vienna, of the 19th instant, His Imperial Majesty arrived that day at Shoembrun, after having passed 36 hours in Brunn, chiefly employed in reviewing the troops stationed in that quarter.
LINTZ, September 17.
The last accounts from Vienna bring nothing certain relative to the negotiations for peace. According to some, a Russian Plenipotentiary was expected to take an active part in the negotiations, in order to regulate in future the relations between Russia, France, Austria, and the States of the Confederation of the Rhine. Nothing is, however, publickly known concerning the progress of the negotiations.
We learn from Hungary, that the different Austrian corps which were stationed between Kaschou and Neuhausel, have, within these few days, broken up, and approached nearer to the Danube. A strong column has even passed that river, in order to extend itself along the Raab, and thus cover the fortress of Comorn. The corps of the Archduke Palatine is the only one which remains in its former position, near Neuhausel.
Accounts from Klattau state, that the troops in the service of the late Elector of Hesse are still in that circle, and have extended themselves more southerly, so that a division of them is in Stogern, adjoining to the circle of Prachin. From thence, by the circles of Prachin and Budweis, a cordon of Austrian troops extends over Winterberg, Oberwaldau, Kuschwarda, Rohrau, Buchet, Oberplau, Schwarzbach, Unterwaldau, and Hohenfurt. This cordon, which passes along the Bavarian frontier, is very numerous, and consists of the infantry regiment of Spork, and of militia. In many places, as at Winterberg, there
are three companies. Near Wublan, Kuschwarda, and Wallern, intrenchments and redoubts have been thrown up, which are in part already complete. There are also five redoubts behind Budweis, which, however, are unoccupied. How long this position may continue, is uncertain, as the greater part of the militia of Bohemia, has drawn under the cannon of Prague, and a part of the militia, which forms the cordon, has received orders to break up for the same part. Near Kuschwarda, there is some artillery.
The militia, it is understood, will lay aside their present uniform, and provide themselves, at their own expence, with a uniform similar to that of the Austrian regular troops; from which it is conjectured, that they will soon be made use of to supply the deficiencies in the troops of the line, though this appears to be inconsistent with the assurances given them when they were first established.
A new militia, (besides the old, called the landwehr ,) is likewise forming, in which all persons, capable of bearing arms, are to be liable to serve. It is to be called the landsturm . It is not, however, expected to be of equal service with the other.
FRANKFORT, September 22.
The Swedish Embassy, which arrived here some days back; left this place for Paris in the course of this morning.—(Royal Amsterdam Gazette, September 20.)
September 24.
We learn from Dresden, that the necessary measures have been taken there, to secure as much as possible, that capital against any hostile attack, in case the war with Austria should unexpectedly recommence. The most valuable effects have been sent to Konigstein, and several hundreds of labourers are daily employed in throwing up intrenchments on the heights near the Bohemian frontiers. On the 18th, a considerable train of Saxon artillery passed through Erlangen, on its way to join the Saxon corps which is in Pressburg.
Preparations are making to prolong the line of telegraphs from Paris to Strasburg, by Augsburg and Munich, to Vienna.—Some French officers, charged with the completion of this work, have already arrived at Augsburg, and begun their operations. The line from Augsburg to Strasburg passes by Ulm and Cronstadt.
Nothing new has been received from the Tyrolese frontiers. From the Voralberg they write, that all the troops that were in Hohenems, Dornbirn, and Feldkirch, broke up on the 14th for Paudenz, so that an attack on the peasants, near Brez and Dales, might be expected.—(Haarlem Courant, September 20.)
SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
Yesterday a young gentleman undertook for three considerable wagers to walk a mile in 8, 8 1-2, and 9 minutes; which he performed in 7 minutes, 50 odd seconds, and thus won all his bets. By an accurate computation, it appears he walked at the rate of 3 yards and 5-8ths in a second: a performance unequalled by any mentioned in the English Sporting Magazine.
OUR AFFAIRS WITH FRANCE.
I have had repeated conversations with an intelligent gentleman who came passenger in the Wasp, and who had resided long in Paris, which confirm me in the opinion I have for some time entertained, that nothing can be done with France, Our destiny was settled on the Banks of the Danube, at the battle of Wagram. From that period, no negotiation between the United States and France, could even be entered upon, without first agreeing, as a preliminary, to come to a rupture with England; sometimes urged upon us, under pretence of uniting with France and her allies, to restore the freedom of the seas ; and sometimes peremptorily demanded in direct terms. In the first interview between Hauterive and Armstrong, after the defeat of the Austrians, the former began with asking, "Sir, are the United States prepared to maintain their rights against Great-Britain?" "Sir," (said Armstrong with becoming spirit,) that is a question, which, as the representative of an Independent nation, I certainly shall not answer." "Then Sir, there is an end of our conferences."
As soon as Bonaparte has settled his affairs in the north; as soon as he has concluded that destructive treaty with Austria, which the democratick presses are so eager to announce, then will his majesty turn towards us. Having England only on his hands, he will no longer think it worth his while to temporise with us, even in the manner he has done; his council of prizes will no longer suspend their condemnations; the king's warehouses will be opened, not, however, to restore the property to the rightful owners, but to dispose of it in market, and lodge the proceeds in his Majesty's coffers.
I presume that Mr. Madison has been willing to keep affairs with England, in precisely the old posture till he could hear, once more at least, from France, and receive his return despatches by the Wasp. Those despatches have come, and if they are faithful, will open his eyes to truths he might from a little reflection have been perfectly convinced of, had he only turned his eyes towards Austria and Spain.—

Those despatches will inform the President that his Ambassador did not even forward any communication to the Emperor in consequence of his last instructions; because, (to use his own expressions in his letter of August 28th, 1808,) he had "the most solemn conviction that any new experiment, made, at the present moment, in official character, would certainly be useless and probably injurious."
As a pretty good evidence that Mr. Armstrong has at length determined in earnest to come home, I am informed that he has had all his furniture packed up ready to be put on board at the shortest notice, and now lives in ready furnished lodgings.
Yes: all expectations of any arrangements with France are worse than idle.—Let Thomas Jefferson appear at Richmond and try to keep alive publick prejudices by giving his French toast, "The freedom of the seas," if he pleases, but any further attempts to coax and wheedle Bonaparte by his successor in hopes to beguile him into such terms as he may venture to lay before the people of the United States, with any prospect of their acceptance, may as well be abandoned. To be sure a breach with France would lose the Smiths $400,000, as one of them confessed at a late publick barbecue meeting, for Bonaparte holds that amount in his warehouse to be sequestered or not, as we come into his views or not: and these Smiths have a most powerful influence in the Cabinet:— "Aye, there's the rub."
BOSTON, November 8. FROM HAVANA.
By recent arrivals from Havana we learn, that numerous vessels had arrived off that port from the United States, since the promulgation of the interdicting decree; and had petitioned the Governor for permission to enter:—That it was supposed, as soon as two Spanish ships of the line, which had arrived there from Vera Cruz, had sailed for Europe, the request would be granted under certain restrictions; and that it was stated the Governor of Cuba had sent a despatch vessel to Spain, to represent to the Supreme Junta the impolicy of their decree; and hopes were entertained that on the return of the vessel, it would be repealed.
The Spanish 74's at Havana, as well as two English frigates, (the Etholia and Undaunted) were laden with specie and indigo; and were to sail the first fair wind.
HAVANA, October 3.
"There are many vessels now at anchor off the Moro; it is believed they will be obliged to depart, although ruinous to their owners so to do. Provisions are rising—Sugars, excepting muscovado, and coffee, looking down."
BRITISH LICENSES.
A letter from Liverpool dated October 4th, received in the Ceres, states, "That the British Lords of the Council had refused to grant a License to protect an American ship from Amelia Island; and that all vessels importing articles from that Island must be British or Spanish."—This must be good news to certain noisy Embargoons.
On this subject the London Courier of September 28th says, "The Council Board has announced that Licenses for vessels to clear for French and Dutch ports would be granted for three months, permitting the exportation of British produce and manufactures, and the importation of corn and bur stones."
The British frigate L'Africaine, with Mr. Erskine and family on board, sailed from Hampton Roads for England, on Monday last week.
Several of the late short arrivals from England have brought despatches (all packages are now so denominated) from Mr. Pinkney for Government.
Providence,
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1809.
AMERICA AND FRANCE.
The following information has been communicated to us by a gentleman, passenger in the Wasp.
Some time in the month of June, after the battle of Aspern, and before the battle of Wagram, a general rumour prevailed in France, that a prompt and amicable termination of the differences between that country and this would succeed the negotiations then pending. In fact, things had gone so far, that it was universally believed that the form of a treaty, or the outlines of the accommodation, had been transmitted to the Emperor at Vienna, for his approbation. In consequence, colonial produce experienced a great depression, and so convinced was the publick mind of the expected event, that scarcely a purchaser could be found for any one article. The battle of Wagram reflected a different aspect to our affairs. A person was then sent to General Armstrong, to require from him a guarantee on the part of the American government, that we should not suffer the British ships of war to board or visit our merchant vessels; and at the same time requesting General Armstrong to know if he had full power, from his government to negotiate with France. Gene-
ral Armstrong replied, to the person who called on him in behalf of the Emperor, that those questions did not require an answer.
All hopes of effecting any thing were then at an end; and General Armstrong made motion of quitting France, packing up his furniture, and his baggage advertised to let.
The General shortly after made his journey to Holland, accompanied by Mr. Armstrong and a part of his family. When the Emperor found that the prolonged negotiations with Austria was likely to terminate in peace, and the difficulties were expected soon to succeed, General Armstrong had it officially intimated to him, that he had better not return to the United States, as there might be an opening for accommodation. Under this last circumstance would be sufficient weight with General Armstrong to require his longer stay in France to be uncertain. He however frequently intimated that he intended to return home in the spring, and expected a frigate from the United States for that purpose.
No one, who reflects seriously on the transactions between General Armstrong and the French government, can have the least expectation of an accommodation. He will, however, be compelled to believe, that it is the policy of the Emperor to divert General Armstrong with hopes, until the issue of the present continental war shall be known. Almost every day gives birth to a new Imperial decree, more or less affecting American commerce.
The treatment of the common crews and property falling into their hands by capture or accident, too strongly proves what we are to expect from their pretended wishes for accommodation. Two instances will give a tolerable idea of what our government have a right to expect. The first is the case of a brig, belonging to Mr. Gray of Salem, of which a Mr. Pearson was the supercargo. She was bound to St. Sebastians; but in a heavy blow from the westward, found herself to the eastward of the port, and as no alternative was left but to make a port or to go on shore, she was boarded by a French boat from St. Jean-de-Luz, while going into that port. The hatches were sealed up, and the papers sent to Paris. It appeared by the Super-cargo's consultation that he had not been boarded by any British vessel, nor had he had communication with any vessel, until his arrival at St. Jean-de-Luz. There did not appear to be any decree relating to this case; but it was supposed that there would be one made to fit it as soon as convenient.
The other case is that of the ship Arrow, Captain Fletcher, of Newburyport, which was bound to Sardinia. She was captured in the Mediterranean, and conducted to France. It was not generally known before her capture, that the island of Sardinia had been decreed by France to be in the same situation (as it respects neutrals) as the ports of Great-Britain.—Captain Farres, the supercargo, acknowledged that he had but little hopes of her restoration. The Captain's protest is very circumstantial, and cites many, not of the unprecedented, but frequent instances of French depredation.
Mr. Haswell, the bearer of despatches, per the Wasp, left Paris with the return despatches before any advice of the reception of the outward despatches could have reached the Emperor time enough to receive an answer.
The English expedition to the Scheldt, is justly the ridicule of the French; and though Flushing has been destroyed, it has added much to increase the military forces of France. General Monet has had a council of inquiry appointed by the Emperor to determine, whether the surrender of Flushing was the effect of cowardice or treason.
The conscription is a subject of great complaint; but without it the armies of France would soon dwindle, as the expenses of a substitute would be enormous as well as impracticable. The late crops of wheat have been abundant; but the uncommon wet and cold summer will produce but little wine.
A number of American gentlemen, who had been a long time waiting for an opportunity to return to this country, would gladly have come in the Wasp, had not General Armstrong peremptorily refused. The supposed reason why he objected, was that as he had purchased a vessel, prior to the arrival of the Wasp, to take despatches to the United States, the emolument of the passages in her would partly defray the expenses of the voyage.
From the Boston Gazette of yesterday. LATEST FROM HOLLAND. Yesterday arrived here the ship Governor Strong, Capt. Lord, 30 days from Rotterdam. Captain L. left there 7th October, but brought no papers. The verbal intelligence communicated by Captain Lord, and which is corroborated by the letter, of which he is the bearer, states, that Bonaparte still remained in Vienna—that the armistice had been prolonged to the 15th November—that Russia was at a stand, apparently undetermined what course to pursue; and that no prospect of
a peace was entertained. That the American shipping had sailed from the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, principally for Russia; that there had been no recent change in the maritime regulations of the Dutch government, nor any relaxation of Bonaparte's Commercial Decrees. Captain L. adds, that he did not hear of Bonaparte's being ill-sane, or ill-disposed.
Captain Lord in his passage through the British Channel did not meet with a single British cruiser. The United States Schooner Experiment, was to have sailed from the Texel, on the 4th October.
Walcheren remained in possession of the English, when Captain Lord left Rotterdam.
RHODE-ISLAND LEGISLATURE.
The following is a more particular detail of the proceedings of the General Assembly at their last session:
The House formed a quorum on Wednesday morning, November 1, and elected the Hon. WILLIAM JONES, Esq. Speaker, and THOMAS BURGESS, Esq. Clerk. The Reports of the several Banks in this State, as required by law, were presented, and after being read were referred to a Committee, who reported the following Abstract:

The election of Ray T. Sane, Esq. first Representative from New-Shoreham, was declared illegal. John Gorham, Esq. the competitor of Mr. Sane, was not admitted to that seat. The petition of the present Directors of the Farmers' Exchange Bank, praying a stay of proceedings against said Bank, was granted. The remainder of this day was devoted to the trial of private petitions.
THURSDAY, November 2.—The Report of the General-Treasurer was read and accepted. The petition for an alteration of the Charter of the Rhode-Island Cole Company was granted.
FRIDAY, November 3.—On the petition of Abraham Belknap and others, for the stay of all legal process for the collection of debts throughout the State; voted, that the petitioners have leave to withdraw their petition. The remainder of this day was likewise devoted to the trial of private petitions.
SATURDAY, November 4.—Mr. Moses Brown, the Attorney-General, and Samuel W. Bridgham, Esq. were appointed a committee to confer with a committee of the Massachusetts Legislature, in order more accurately to ascertain the Northern boundary of this State, (His Excellency the Governor was requested to inform the Governor of Massachusetts of the appointment of this committee.) Stephen Olney, Samuel W. Bridgham, and Rufus Waterman, Esquires, were appointed a committee to provide means for a sufficient supply of water for the County Gaol in Providence.
The village of Pawtucket has, as we are informed, within a few days, been repeatedly alarmed with mad dogs. Three persons, our informant says, have already been bitten by them; but it is hoped no fatal consequences will ensue, as immediate medical assistance was had, and no symptoms of hydrophobia have as yet shown themselves.
The horrid tale, which is finding admission into most of the papers in the Union, we commenced the publication of in our last; from the continuation of it we beg to be excused, as we now perceive it to be no more than an extraordinary piece of humour of we suspect merely local application—it is indeed a howl of the first water, whose wit is probably thought poignant where it is understood.
"PHILO-MORALIST" is received, and shall appear in our next.

The Farm lies on Skungamug River, has about 25 acres of interval, the remainder upland, and consists of mowing, ploughing, pasturing, wood and timber land; will cut from 35 to 40 tons of hay annually, is well watered by the above ri- ver, and a number of living springs. There are on the premises a very neat, convenient Dwelling-House, Barn and Out-Houses entirely new, and nearly finished; a Well of Water which never fails, within ten feet of the door; a thrifty young Orchard just beginning to bear, and an old one some- what decayed.
Two in the first society in Hartland, pleasantly situated about one mile south of the Meeting-House, and within 20 miles of Hartford; one contains about 240 acres, with a large, good one story House, with two chimneys, well finished, and conveni- ent for two families; three Barns, Out- Houses, &c. all in good repair; has about 40 acres of mowing, 150 of ploughing and pasturing and 50 of wood; has good Or- charding, is well watered and well fenced. The other Farm contains about 60 acres, with a small one story Farm-House, Barn and Orchard; well proportioned into mow- ing, pasturing, ploughing and woodland; well watered and under good improvement. Possession given immediately.
Three Farms pleasantly situated in the north part of Granville, they adjoin each other, and contain about 330 acres, and are extremely well calculated for the set- tlement and neighbourhood of a family con- nexion. One contains about 125 acres, with a two story House and Barn, and three flourishing young Orchards; will cut an- nually from 25 to 30 tons of good hay. One of 115 acres, with a one story House, Barn and young Orchard, will cut from 25 to 30 tons of hay; and one of about 90 acres, with a one story House, Barn, and a young Orchard; will cut from 8 to 12 tons of hay. These Farms are well watered, well fenced, and suitably proportioned into mowing, pasturing, ploughing and wood- land; and will be sold separately or to- gether, and possession may be had imme- diately.
Also one in Blanford, of fifty acres, with a House and Barn; well watered, under good improvement, and well pro- portioned into mowing, pasturing, plough- ing and woodland.
The above Farms will be sold on rea- sonable terms, and long credit given for a considerable part of the purchase, on the payment of annual interest. The subscriber also offers for sale, an eligible and convenient stand for a Tavern and Store, in the town of Vernon, on the Hartford and Tolland Turnpike Road; twelve miles from Hartford, and about the same distance from Stafford Springs; late- ly occupied as a Tavern and Store by Mr. Lebbeus P. Tinker, and now occupied by Mr. James Chapman; consisting of a neat, spacious well-finished House, and Store, two Barns, one entirely new and large, having sufficient stabling, and every neces- sary accommodation for a Tavern; about three acres of Land, including a Garden, with considerable fruit, and an Orchard that will produce from 20 to 30 barrels of cider annually.

It will be no- ticed, that the price of land, in the unset- tled towns and tracts, will be considerably less than those towns which are settling, and will not only give to an individual or company who may purchase, the advan- tage of a first choice, but also will secure to them, the rise in the value of the lands.
