Original Poetry.
OCCASIONAL PROLOGUE, Pronounced at the opening of the Theatre in Providence, September 3d, 1795.
THE eye, contemplating this simple dome, Views not the art of Greece, the wealth of Rome;
Nor towering arch, nor roof of vast design, Which prove the virtues of the Parian mine;
Nor Painting's touch, nor Sculpture's breathing mould, Nor Life enchas'd in Elephant and Gold.
It boasts them not; alas it boasts alone The wish to please—and let that wish atone.
To Fair who deign our efforts to repay, Be give us honours and ye take away.
Here to your eyes we hold the mirror true, Here pass your virtues in their bright review.
Nor cold Reproof, nor Satire's caustic smart Can crimson Virtue's cheek, or chill her heart.
Laugh, then secure, or yield to Pity's call, The strokes of Censure on the guilty fall.
Here view yourselves, nor fear t' applaud the scene, Live o'er your lives and be what ye have been.
Give to th' unbiddeen tear its gen'rous flow, Not more can Pity give to fancy'd woe;
Nor fear that bid beneath the mimick guise, Vice waits her Victim with impatient Eyes.
Here shall ye learn, with Purity of Heart, To meet the artful in the Fields of Art.
The Eye which beams Intelligence and Love Shall learn to blend the Serpent with the Dove,
The righteous Claim of bashful Worth to scan And well discern the Coxcomb from the Man.
In ancient Days, when Rome could boast her Name, When Scipio fought and Terence wrote for Fame;
Ere Taste and genuine Wit were forc'd to yield, And low Buffoonery had usurp'd the Field,
The Roman Stage was Virtue's primal School. There Heroes learnt to conquer and to rule.
And (while they wept, as mimick Woes were shown) To feel for others' and endure their own.
Nor did the Jest, ambiguous and obscene, Disturb the Cheek of Innocence serene.
But Nature's mother Wit, sublime and chaste, Met the full voice of Modesty and Taste.
If such the Manners of the Roman Age, Such must delight when Yankies seek the Stage.
See a new Rome in western Forests rise, Her Manners simple and her Maxims wise.
These to improve, to cherish fresh and fair, Shall be our best Reward, our only Care.
This humble House, its Office so divine, With more than all Vitruvius' Art shall shine.
Enough for us, we rest secure, the while, Of Virtue's Plaudit and of Beauty's Smile.

THE SQUIRREL'S ESCAPE.
MY little friend! whom I have fed With never failing care, And mark'd thee in thy woolly bed, Conceal thy husky fare—
My little friend! I lament I much, That thou should'st bid adieu To luxury so sweet,—and such As seldom squirrel knew.
Should whirlwinds howl, and pelting rain Assail thy tender form, Affrighted, thou wilt seek in vain A refuge from the storm.
Till famine, at the stern command Of chilling frost and snow, Shall smite thee with her shrivell'd hand, And terminate thy woe.
My little friend! 'tis vain to grieve, But fain would I inquire, What charms invited thee to leave All thou could'st well desire?
THE SQUIRREL'S REPLY.
To answer—is no irksome task, E'en to a brute like me; Art thou an ENGLISHMAN—and ask What charms has LIBERTY?

FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND AMERICAN. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS HINTS. No. XVII.
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the houses Holiness unto the Lord.
AT length the time of the complete peace and purity of the Church will arrive. Then the very bells upon the horses, or their bridles, will be inscribed with Holiness to the Lord, according to the inscription on the mitre of the High Priest. Some explain this of war-horses; supposing it to mean that these being disused, their ornaments will be consecrated to God. Others understand it of horses employed in common services; and suppose it to imply that the most secular occupations will then be so conducted, that they will be holy actions performed to the glory of God. This happy state will continue to the end of
the world. How exactly do all the Prophets agree about the final event of the long contest betwixt the worship of the true God and idolatry; betwixt piety and impiety; truth and error; holiness and unholiness! "At the eventide it shall be light;" and blessed be God, that season cannot be very distant. Scott's Bible.
There is such a native aversion to divine truth in every human heart, that we are loath to believe the plainest and the most important declarations of the holy scriptures. We do not naturally realise that we ought in every thing to regard the glory of God, though he has required us so to do by his supreme authority. Many things which God notices, we think unworthy of our attention. There are small concerns, as they are usually esteemed, which God observes with his ever-present and ever-watchful eye, and which we are ever prone to disregard, are often the things, which exhibit the most decisive evidence of a person's moral character and state. In these supposed trifles, we usually act according to the spontaneous feelings of our hearts. We do not think of assuming in little affairs, an appearance which is contrary to the reality. Such affairs are so small, in our view, that they do not engage our selfish feelings, as we imagine they cannot greatly affect our interest. We often discover our own prevailing dispositions and the prevailing dispositions of other persons, more clearly in small than in great concerns. Besides, small affairs are constantly occurring. But affairs of great importance less frequently occur. However common, it is certainly unwise to disregard small things. It was said, in ancient times, by the wise son of Sirach—"he that disregardeth small things, shall fall by little and little." Who thinks it degrading to mention cents in the transaction of his pecuniary concerns? Were the legislators of this great and growing confederacy beside themselves when they noticed mills in the law respecting the computation of our federal money? Is it then unwise for a rational and accountable creature, who is on probation for eternity, to regard his smallest actions, or his words, or even the thoughts and every emotion of his heart? We are informed in the sacred volume that God will bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good or evil. We are also informed, that for every idle word a man shall speak, he shall give an account in the day of judgement. The holy Lord God declares, that he searches the heart and tries the reins of the children of men, to give unto every one according to his works, and according to the fruits of his doings. Every person, who is not thoughtless of the final and decisive judgement, will seriously regard what the Judge regards, though by multitudes these things should be esteemed as trifles. So far as religion prevails in its purity and power, it will appear in all the concerns and in all the deportment of the christian. Joyful and glorious will be the day, when all shall know the Lord and enjoy his special favour. Then religion will be seen and enjoyed in ten thousand ways, of which at present we have no conception. These observations, in connection with the preceding extract, have occurred from seeing, within a few days, the second number of "The Clergyman's Almanack." This Almanack is a novelty. Though it is religious, it is not a very silly production. It contains much good sense and some useful hints, as well as a portion of patriotick and pious instruction. It will displease no one, who is not displeased with the bible. ANTHROPOS.

Miscellany.
The following is ushered into the world as from the pen of that identical JUNIUS, whom the literary world, in the language of Sterne, "make such a rout about." He has in sundry instances successfully aped the style of his author, but if he is what he professes to be, we may emphatically say, "sine nomine umbra." JUNIUS.
From the London INDEPENDENT WIRE. To His Royal Highness the Duke of York.
SIR, IF, on your retreat from office, you had gone into actual retirement, I should not now have the cruelty to disturb you; I would respect the shelter which misfortune reserves for the lowest of her victims, and leave you in that privacy which is equally suited to the moderation of your talents and your virtues. Your Royal Highness will be convinced, that I am not to be easily impressed by common opinion, when I will admit that your existence has not been altogether useless to the country. To establish any value

able truth, one example is better than a thousand lectures; we have a natural suspicion of theory, and we might have lingered through ages of scepticism, before we could have found so strong an example as that supplied by your Royal Highness: that no degradation can disqualify a man for the service of his country, that the most vulgar vice can give a lesson of morality, and the meanest thirst of power a triumph to the Constitution.
I know that, to your delicacy of feeling, nothing is likely to be more unexpected, or, perhaps more painful, than a public charge of the cardinal virtues. The double accusation of piety and patriotism is, it must be owned, rather oppressive for the blushing humility of a man who has hitherto succeeded in concealing his virtues from the suspicion of even his most intimate friends. But Sir, if I am not mistaken, you were born for a public example! Other men may rest their claims on the gratitude, you deserve your reward from the justice of the country.—“ Septuaginta virtutum quærimus ,” and it is a duty which I dare not decline, to draw your buried merits up to light, and demand for them the honour which is their due.
I must be permitted to pause in your panegyric; an old man's imagination sinks before the task of following you through your course of glory; and, in an age when every thing seems full of alteration, it is no slight gratification to have discovered so striking an example of a total defiance of change, a mind steadily pursuing its original impulse; turning neither to the right nor to the left; neither to be awed by the chilling formality of reason, nor ashamed by the sneering impertinence of ridicule.
But to have enemies is the natural fate of merit. Your enemies may endeavour to represent your course as easy, and scarcely requiring any thing more than a due contempt of those restrictions which vulgar minds may hold sacred “ Facilis descensus Averni .” Yet I defy their bitterest malice to give another instance of a man who has devoted such opportunities, and such industry to his purpose, or whose progress has been at once so regular and so precipitate, so rapid and so undeviating.
Other candidates for fashionable fame have exercised their faculties upon parts of the system; your Royal Highness may have a few superiors at the gaming-table, or the Four-in-Hand Club, the race-course, or the steeple-chase; but for the range of the universal science, you are without a competitor!—You surpass them as far as the rapidity of instinct outruns the tardiness of instruction; and for each and all, from the penning of a love-letter, to the capitulation of an army, you are unequalled, unimitated, inimitable.
I can easily conceive, that patriotism like yours, would feel somewhat restless in retirement; a consciousness of superior abilities naturally urges to their exertion. It is reported that you condescend still to direct the arrangements of the commander in chief's office; and, as if it were your determination to dazzle us with a blaze of mingled virtues, add a splendid self-denial to a princely patriotism, contenting yourself with the pay and patronage of the command, and leaving to another the undivided honour of the responsibility.
But it is absurd to estimate you by the conceptions of common men. You have, probably, some secret instinct, some dark and prophetic consciousness that you have not yet fulfilled the end of your being, and paid your debt to your country. Some meditations on your past services to the empire may have convinced you that you have been marked out for a memorable duty; that, like the favourite slave of the ancient tyrants, your assistance is necessary to the last hour of her renown; and that no other hand can so effectually shorten the pain of her final struggle.
Report has even gone so far as to say, that the appointment of Lord Chatham to the command of the expedition is nothing more than an ingenious contrivance for your Royal Highness's immediate and public resumption of authority. As a friend to the feelings of an injured patriot, I would not advise you to trust too much to this intriguing expedient. You still have to feel the prejudice to which merit like yours must always be exposed! You have already escaped its violence; a second plunge might not be equally fortunate. The tide of public opinion still runs strong against you. Your robes of office may have hitherto kept you on the surface, but they have been too much drenched not to have lost their buoyancy. They would be too heavy for your feebleness. You would be swept away at once by an irresistible torrent, and your country would have to lament the obscure waste of a life, whose last moments should have been given to her interests, consecrated by the solemnities of national justice, and devoted to the ends of national example.
Beware; I warn you, beware of taking on you the command of the army; it will be your ruin. But you must earn your fate by some humble crime. If you are to suffer, let justice take its course; but the soiled and trampled laurels of our army must not be the wreath that binds the victim. Stay, Sir, if you would not have every parent in the land raising curses on your
head. Stay in your retirement; it is fit for you. You may there best exhibit and indulge all those qualities which nature like your's feel at the first privileges of rank and opulence. You may be a Tiberius at Caprea, or a Domitian at his villas, and alternately enjoy the pure festivities of the one, and the philosophic solitude of the other.
Beware of intruding yourself into command; the last army of the empire must not be again trusted with you before an enemy. I dread to look upon the consequence. You have made me feel more than I thought so many years had left to me! You have roused an old man from the borders of the grave! I have not meddled with public affairs for many years. I thought, that in turning the public eye on the Graftons and Mansfields of my day, I had done my measure of service to my country; but I can serve her yet. I have been the best friend of your Royal Highness's family, and am personally yours when I warn you against daring to take any share of the public authority. You can be safe only while you are obscure!—The tiger, in his cage, may be suffered to live an object of fearless abhorrence and cheap curiosity; but, once let loose, it becomes the duty of every man to arm himself against the violence of the Royal Savage.
If you are not this moment the virtual Commander in Chief, why is the influence of your resentments so fatally predominant? Why is your enmity a simple ground of exclusion? Must we trace the serpent in every dark and sinuous winding of his retreat, by the infection of his trail?
Why, when such a man as Chatham, is employed, is such a man as Ferguson thrown out of service?—Is it because he took the single resolution of doing his duty with equal heroism in the senate and in the field?—Or is it that you think it but fair to acquaint us with the principles on which a higher rank may empower you to act, and take this opportunity of declaring that no man can be permitted to serve his country till he has turned traitor to his conscience, and that the duties of the army are contrary and hostile to the rights of the people?
It may be for your interest to meditate on those charges. I have still some hopes of your amendment. I will confess that, on this point, the general opinion is opposite to mine. Your friends attribute your past conduct to a persevering folly—your enemies to an obstinate vice. Both agree that as your errors were the work of nature, it is absurd to hope for their reformation; that, as you rushed into crime without reflection, so you will continue in it without remorse. But, in my intercourse with you, I have observed a certain principle which has been termed the beginning of wisdom. The most degrading stain on other characters, is probably the paving of virtue in yours. If your feelings are not to be touched by the wrongs of the people, let your fears be roused by their resentment. The wrath of British men is slow, but it is progressive; the effect of heavy injury, imbibed by continual insult; not easily roused, but, once roused, not to be laid without substantial justice; it will not be satisfied with cutting off the contemptible minions that cling round and prey upon you—it will be neither in your hereditary rank nor in your remembered services to protect you! The conflagration which has hitherto slumbered, or only thrown out its casual blaze, shall awake; it shall not be content with feeding on the dry and worthless weeds that lie at your feet, it shall rise to the Mighty of the Forest, and, in their parched and blasted verdure, leave only the more striking monuments of its unsparing desolation.
Publick forbearance has been exhausted; the people cannot submit to further insult; they will not comprehend the honest policy of redeeming your character at the expence of your country; and, by the appointment of such men as Chatham and Dundas, proving to the nation that you're not the only hands by which it may be ruined.
Is my Lord Chatham a man fit to be put at the head of a British expedition? What are his merits? Where are his exploits of successful intrepidity or practised skill? Is it for his political virtues or his martial prowess?—Is it that your love of justice has been enraptured by the good natured impartiality which has made him the pliant instrument of so many administrations? Or is it that you reason from his civil to his military accomplishments, not unjustly inferring that the man who has spent his whole life in the barter of office, will be peculiarly dextrous at a convention, and in spite of Houdscote and the Helder, obliterate even your renown in the art of capitulating with the enemy?
You are not yet totally ruined. I dare not bid the vilest criminal despair. Your duty is plain; dismiss those miserable substitutes of your's, send old Dundas to Chelsea and his pension; send Chatham to his cheap indulgencies, his reversions, and his half-pay, tell him that the people will not suffer him to serve them; that they are beginning to know and to despise such men; that their service is not the private sinecure it used to be; and that, if they have punished the tripping honour of a prince,
they will not be more lenient to the stately perfidy of a peer!
Then, Sir, instantly retire; misfortune has yet done half her work; she has brought you to shame, let her now bring you to repentance! It would be useless to disguise from you that the period must be long and the remorse sincere, before the empire can consider you as the son of its sovereign.
But I once more warn you to beware of retrieving your character by any sudden experiment on popular applause!—If it be true that from Chatham's incapacity you look to his ill success , and from that to your assuming the command with some comparative éclat , no language can be strong enough for your reprobation. But the plan has too much of laboured treachery for your indolence. This would not be the spirit of the soldier struggling fairly in the great cause which would ennoble his fall.—There is another character; it has probably suggested itself to your Royal Highness: it is the cowardly marauder, lingering behind till the danger is over, and then stealing forth in darkness and security, to insult the bodies of the dead, and bring home an unresisted spoil from the desolation of the field. JUNIUS.
FROM A LONDON PAPER. The following description of Spain and Portugal cannot fail, at this time, to be acceptable to a number of our readers:
THE Peninsula which forms the south-west angle of Europe—and which extends from the 36th to the 43d degree of latitude, and in longitude from 10 degrees W. to about 2 degrees E. of Greenwich—contains the Kingdoms of Spain and Portugal. The Pyrenean mountains, on the north, separate it from France and the rest of the Continent; and it is surrounded on the east, south, and west, by the Mediterranean and Atlantic.
Spain contains about 148,000 square miles, and a population of 11,000,000, or 74 to a square mile.
Portugal, about 28,000 square miles—and a population of 2,000,000, or 71 to a square mile.
The boundaries of these two kingdoms are—on the north of Portugal, the river Minho—and thence an imaginary line southward to the Douro, which continues the boundary for some miles—when another imaginary limit runs still southward, crossing the Tagus at Alcantara, towards Elvas, where the Guadiana is the boundary, until it falls into the sea.
Madrid, the Capital of Spain, is nearly in the centre of the kingdom. It contains about 150,000 inhabitants.
Lisbon, the Capital of Portugal, contains about 200,000 inhabitants. It has an admirable haven, and very extensive trade.
The Peninsula was, upon the destruction of the Roman Empire, of which it formed a part, seized upon by the Goths—who continued in possession for about 150 years. They very early embraced Christianity; but were, at the expiration of the above period, conquered by the Moors, with the exception of a few provinces. The Mahometans, however, were in their turn expelled by the united arm of Ferdinand and Isabella, the Sovereigns of the then kingdoms of Arragon and Castile.
A. D. 709, the Mahometan Moors of Africa were invited into the country by the reachery of a Spanish Chieftain, Count Julian, whose daughter had been seduced by King Roderick; the consequence was the subjugation of the whole Peninsula, with the exception of Asturias, to which the descendants of the Gothick Chieftains retired, and from which they carried on an incessant war against the invaders, until the year 1511, during which time various portions of Spain having been recovered by different leaders, they were formed into separate kingdoms, which, by several conquests and intermarriages, became at length united in Ferdinand of Arragon, and Isabella of Castile, by whom the Moors were fully subdued.
Portugal being in 1054 conquered by Ferdinand, King of Castile, was given to his son, Don Garcia, whose descendants continued to reign until Sebastian, in 1580, lost his life in a wild expedition to Africa, and having no issue, Portugal was seized by Philip II. King of Spain, (the husband of Mary of England,) the great grandson of Ferdinand and Isabella; but, in 1640, by an almost bloodless revolution, the House of Braganza, descended from their former Kings, was raised by the people of Portugal to the throne, which possessed it until the treacherous invasion of Portugal by Bonaparte.
In 1700, the male descendants of Ferdinand and Isabella being extinct, the succession to Spain was disputed in a long war between Austria and France, in which at length Louis XIV. succeeded, and placed his grandson Philip IV. on the throne.—Charles IV. the father of Ferdinand VII. is a great grandson of Philip IV.
From the PHILADELPHIA REGISTER. TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, DURING a short trip to New-York, from whence I am just returned, the following circumstance attracted my curiosity, which I conceive it to be my duty, as a good citizen, to lay before the publick,
for the information of the collector of said port, and of other officers of government, whom it may concern.
A large frigate built ship, of about 1000 tons, pierced for 36 guns, captured from the English by the French in the East-Indies, which arrived at New-York in June, 1807, is now undergoing a complete repair at said port. I have also been informed that she has been purchased by God knows who, at Savannah, well known for his attachment to France, and indeed, in some cases, as a confidential agent of Napoleon, and even of the mulatto brigand Pétion; and that she is intended to proceed from Savannah to St. Domingo, or to the Isle of France. It has also been insinuated to me, that previous to her sailing, she will be completely manned with French refugees from the Island of Cuba; that she will have her guns, military stores, and provisions in her hold, and will clear out from these states under American colours, for some licensed port, but that in reality, the object of her armament is a breach of that neutrality which we have hitherto happily maintained.
The affair of the Leander, (in the Miranda expedition,) which unfortunately involved in misery and destruction several of our citizens, is too fresh in our memory not to awaken our suspicions with regard to this mysterious armament. I therefore trust this hint which I now give to the Collector of New-York, and through him to the members of our present administration, will attract their notice in due time to prevent a repetition of the same lamentable and disgraceful violation of our NEUTRALITY.
By the Mails.
BALTIMORE, November 16. FROM ENGLAND.
By the ship Philip, Captain Williams, 36 days from Cowes, arrived this morning, we have received London papers to October 7, and hasten to give the most important items.
It appears by the latest London paper we have seen, (Courier,) that every exertion is making by the French to recruit their armies.
The Emperor of Austria in advertising to the prolongation of the armistice in his general orders, says, “his assent to the measure is to be attributed not to feebleness, but to his affection for his subjects, and his anxiety to avert from them the calamities of war;” and again assures his subjects that no peace shall be concluded without an honourable one.
The expectation of renewed hostilities continues. While the French conscripted men and boys, are called out, and five feet boys induced to volunteer, Austria is using an equal exertion. A levy en masse throughout the Austrian dominions is expected.
The British ministry does not appear to have been formed. The Courier, the ministerial paper under Mr. Canning, says, “the plan of administration, though not extended and combined, (as the opposition express it,) will still go down. After a reign of half a century in the most arduous times, our venerable sovereign will not be abandoned by his people.”
PARIS, September 23.
According to a circular letter from His Majesty, the Minister Director General of the Conception, the Mayors are authorized to receive enrollments for the grenadier sharpshooters, ranger sharpshooters and conscript grenadiers, and conscript rangers of his Majesty's guard. The young men who enlist in the grenadier sharpshooters, and conscript grenadiers, must be five feet five inches; for the ranger sharpshooters, or conscript rangers, five feet two inches!
The Mayors may admit to enlist—1st, young men from 18 to 30, who have not fallen under the conscription—2d, individuals from 30 to 40, who have already served. Young men from 16 to 18, shall in like manner be permitted to serve, with consent of parents or guardians.
Notwithstanding these provisions, which evince that His Majesty is desirous of facilitating to all his subjects the means of entering into his guards, he has decided that four young men from each department may be directly admitted by voluntary enrollment into his regiments of fusiliers. Two of them must be at least five feet five inches, and two of them five feet three.
ANTWERP, September 21.
Several movements have taken place among the troops. General Klein, commanding the cavalry, goes to Brussels.—The grand park moved off in direction of Mechlen. Several regiments are quartered at Merzen, on the road to Holland.
The army of Antwerp will be divided into three bodies. The Dutch troops on the right; left wing under the command of Senator Rampon; centre under Reille, one of the Emperor's aid-de-camps. Our garrison will be composed of 1000 dismounted dragoons; 1000 veterans and 1500 of the national guard. General Vattelax has arrived here.
Bonaparte's death may, from what follows, be confidently expected:
GUERNSEY, October 4. A vessel has arrived here which left Cherbourg on Friday last.
The letters by her inform us, that accounts had reached that place from Paris, which leave no doubt that the Emperor Napoleon was very ill at his palace of Schoenbrunn. His disorder is a brain-fever, brought on by excessive fatigue in his personal attentions to every branch of his army. Most certainly it is, that two physicians and two surgeons suddenly left Paris last week to attend him. They proceeded on their journey with extraordinary speed.
MERCANTILE.
We have been favoured by a valuable correspondent at Havana, with the following documents, which explain the state of our commercial admission to that place.
“The President, Governor and Captain-General, and the Intendant-General of the army and Royal Revenue of this Island, have determined by a decree of yesterday, that the foreign vessels anchored in the road of this place, and those which have been permitted an entry, on account of inconvenience, may unload the articles permitted by the Royal Cedula of the 30th April, 1804. Accordingly the consignees will make the manifests of all their lading for the despatch of the articles expressed in that indulgence, which will cease on the 30th April, 1810.
(Signed) “ISLA.” “Havana, 19th September, 1809.” *Meaning the 22d April.
Extract from the Royal Cedula, concerning the negro trade, dated at Aranjuez, April 22, 1804.
I declare for the benefit of my subjects, that returns, which, for want of negroes on account of their excessive dearth, or for other just causes, they may make in tools for the mechanic arts and utensils for the arts, which are the subject of the 3d article of the Cedula of the year 1791, in planks for sugar boxes, staves or hoops, shall be free from all duty, and even though they may be imported by foreigners with new negroes, and not for themselves only; but I prohibit the entry into my ports of foreign vessels, even with cargoes of these articles, unless they bring at the same time new negroes; but neither Spaniards nor Foreigners, who carry on this trade, can import iron and steel, though they be of the national produce, under the pretext of their being necessary for mending and repairing the said tools or utensils, nor otherwise.
NORFOLK, November 16.
FRENCH TYRANNY.
Translated for the Norfolk Herald.
MADRID, September 8. His Majesty (Joseph) issued in July last the following Decree:
“All the inhabitants of cities and other towns of Spain who have sons in the armies of the insurgents, shall put in the army of his Majesty as many men as they have men in the army of the insurgents, or pay into the publick treasury a sum of money according to the means of each. Those who have more than 3000 ducats income (1650 dollars,) shall pay 12,000 reals (600 dollars) for each man they are required to put into the army. Those who have an income of 2000 ducats (1100 dollars) shall pay 6000 reals (300 dollars) and those whose income exceeds 1000 ducats (550 dollars) shall pay 3000 reals (150 dollars.) All those who have less than 1000 ducats income shall be arrested and held as hostages or carried to France where they shall be detained until their sons shall have deserted the insurgents and returned to their respective towns and submitted to the authorities. The elder brothers, relatives, and guardians of those who have no fathers come within the purview of this decree, and are rendered answerable for their younger brothers, or wards.”
NEW-YORK, November 20. MR. JACKSON.
The papers continue to be filled with remarks relative to the misunderstanding between this gentleman and our Secretary of State.—The National Intelligencer of Friday last, as if regretting the colouring which it had given to the subject, observes,
“Should the feelings of any one tend to excite a disposition to treat Mr. Jackson indecorously, let him reflect on the punishment to which he would thereby inevitably expose himself, and to the deep injury he might, however unintentionally, inflict on his country, and we are persuaded he will feel it a sacred duty to abstain from all violence or indecorum, leaving to his government the management of an affair of so much delicacy and importance.”
The same paper, (the paper of our government,) says,
“Although the President has refused to receive any further communications from Mr. Jackson, he is still a publick Minister and the representative of the British government in many important respects.”
We have been informed from the best authority, that the British Packet, now undergoing repairs here, is ordered to sail as soon as possible, to carry out Mr. Oakley, who is bearer of important despatches from Mr. Jackson. It is supposed the

Packet cannot be got ready for sea before Thursday or Friday next.
Mr. Jackson intends to spend the winter in this city, but will not, it is said, leave Washington till after the meeting of Congress.
November 21.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
The Editors of the New-York Gazette are indebted to a gentleman at the Southward for a copy of the following
CIRCULAR.
"Washington, November 13, 1809."
"SIR,
"I have to inform you, with much regret, that the facts which it has been my duty to state in my official correspondence with Mr. Smith, have been deemed by the President of the United States to afford a sufficient motive for breaking off an important negotiation, and for putting an end to all communication whatever with me, as the Minister charged with that negotiation, so interesting to both nations! And on one most material point, on which an answer has not been returned to an official and written overture. [*]
"One of the facts alluded to has been admitted by the Secretary of State himself, in his letter of the 19th of October, viz.—That the three conditions forming the substance of Mr. Erskine's original instructions, were submitted to him by that gentleman. The other, viz.—That that instruction is the only one in which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an arrangement on the matter to which it related, is known to me by the instructions which I have myself received.
"In stating these facts, and in adhering to them, which my duty imperiously enjoined me to do, in order to repel the frequent charges of ill faith which have been made against his Majesty's government, I could not imagine that offence would be taken at it by the American government, as most certainly none could be intended on my part; and this view of the subject has been made known to Mr. Smith.
"But as I am informed by him, that no further communication will be received from me, I conceive that I have no alternative left, which is consistent with the King's dignity, but to withdraw altogether from this city, and to await elsewhere the arrival of his Majesty's commands upon the unlooked-for turn which has been given to his affairs in this country.
"I mean, in the interval, to make New-York the place of my residence, where you will henceforward please direct your communications to me, as I shall be accompanied by every member of his Majesty's Mission.
"I am, with great truth and respect, "SIR, Your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) "F. J. JACKSON."
"To —, his Majesty's Consul at —."
[*] This overture is on the affair of the Chesapeake.
Providence,
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1809.
Mr. Jackson's Circular Letter, in apology, extenuation, or aggravation of his conduct, appears in our paper of to-day. With unfeigned anxiety we await the interesting documents which occasioned a rupture so important. Some of our brother Editors have taken singular ground for defending the conduct of the British Minister. They state, as a precedent for our diplomatic degradation, Mr. Canning's correspondence with Mr. Pinkney. From hence it is right logically inferred, that because Mr. Canning insulted Mr. Pinkney, it is our duty humbly to revive, if not to solicit a reiteration of the same kind offices. We repeat it, nothing certain or decisive can be known upon the subject, until the whole of the correspondence is submitted to public scrutiny. It is almost a phenomenon in the era of any diplomacy, for a government to disavow the acts of their Ministers. We do not contend but what such strong cases may exist, to warrant such a measure; but strong indeed must be such cases. If the British government disavowed the act of Mr. Erskine, let the blame be imputed to him. On the other hand, if Mr. Jackson has asserted that Mr. Erskine's incompetency to make such arrangements was a fact, of which our Cabinet was cognoscent, is it not a direct charge, that they formed a confederacy with Mr. Erskine, to abuse the trust confided to him? Could our government have any possible object in view, in making those arrangements, but a wish to conciliate all our controversies with England? Mr. Erskine twice solemnly assured them, that he was authorized by his Majesty the King of England, to make such stipulations. Mr. Smith with an honourable confidence, professed his belief in the declaration, and would it not have been a measure incompatible with diplomatic delicacy, to have demanded an inspection of his powers, and not have taken Mr. Erskine's word as an equivalent? Now if Mr. Jackson has broadly stated the fact, that Mr. Erskine's inability was known to our government, is it not a palpable and direct charge on their
want of faith and honour? American diplomacy we confess has been degraded, and it is necessary, highly necessary, that a bold and imposing stand should be made, whatever may be the result. Self respect is proper for observance amongst nations as well as individuals. As no man of honour would bear to be called a knave to his face, if the facts as have been stated are correct, it is not only pardonable, but praiseworthy in our government to retain a similar aspersion. One would have supposed that at a time which may determine forever the existence of the two countries, in a case of such almost unprecedented delicacy, as a disavowal of the act of the ministerial agent by one, it would have been sound policy on the part of both, to avoid every thing that had the smallest tendency to irritation. We should have presumed that the question, whether Mr. Erskine was authorized or not, to have entered into the arrangements he did, might have remained undiscovered by both parties. We should have supposed that the English government would have been satisfied with disavowing the deed, without first doing that, and implicating the other party in the deed afterwards. All this is stated to have been done, and we forsooth, are to be charged with intemperance, if it was. The exculpatory circular of Mr. Jackson is by no means clear and definite. The question is not whether our government were apprised of the despatch he there refers to; but whether they knew that Mr. Erskine was not authorized to make those arrangements. This constitutes the gist of the offensive declaration on the part of that Minister, at our publick papers have imported. Mr. Jackson does not make any reply to this whatever, so that the whole of his last statement may be regarded as correct, and yet the charge remains unanswered on his part. Let it further be considered, that the honour and interest of his sovereign was no way concerned in agitating the point of Mr. Erskine's incompetency, unless Mr. Smith had made a charge of that nature. Time will speedily resolve the mystery, and it is no less our inclination than our duty, to await the production of the evidence.
By every recent arrival from Europe we receive a confirmation of the reported illness of the Emperor Napoleon. At first we thought it the mere product of speculating artifices; but it has since been so often repeated, and seems attended by so strong probability, that we are now inclined to give it credit. Whether his disease be corporeal or mental, our European news will not enable us to decide. But in all human probability it is a disease of the mind. Habit will no doubt strengthen the mind as much as the body, and give it a vigour almost incredible. But it is with the mind as with the body, that there is a point beyond which no man can go, unless he o'er steps the borders of reason and enters the confines of insanity. Has not Napoleon, though by nature endowed with a strong and nervous intellect, been so much oppressed by the burthen of Europe, as to have strained beyond its nature even his gigantic mind, and immersed himself in madness excessive as his talents are transcendent. France, Spain, Holland, Italy, and most of Germany and Prussia, have long been governed by his immediate attention; while Russia and England, the one his ally, the other his eternal enemy, require no small portion of his imperial time: And Austria has long employed any leisure moments that the rest of Europe could possibly afford. Under such a multiplicity of weighty concerns, who but Napoleon could have borne it so long—and who, if not supernatural, could be longer able to support it?
ENGLISH FINANCES.
The total amount of the publick expenditure of Great-Britain, exclusive of the charge of loans raised for the service of Ireland, for ten years, ending the 5th January, 1803, comprising the whole period of the war terminated by the peace of Amiens, is about 503,378,540l. whereof 178,520,454l. arose from the charge of the publick funded and unfunded debt, and 324,858,086l. from all other services: and about 241,909,953l. was raised by the ordinary revenue and incidental payments of different kinds; about 32,679,000l. by extraordinary war taxes, 220,095,607l. by additions to the publick funded debt, 3,000,000l. by an advance from the bank without interest, in consideration of the renewal of the charter, and an advance of three millions from the bank in 1798, of which 1,500,000l. was paid in 1803.
The total amount of the publick expenditure of Great-Britain, exclusive of the charge of loans raised for the service of Ireland, for six years, ending the 5th of January, 1809, being the six first years of the present war, is about 395,915,599l.; whereof 166,445,052l. arose from the charge of publick funded and unfunded debt, and 229,701,647l. from all other services; and that about 224,403,222l. has been raised by the ordinary revenue and incidental payments of various kinds; 92,240,000l. by extraordinary war taxes; 81,168,412l. by additions to the publick funded debt; and 3,300,000l. by an advance without interest from the bank.

Last evening, by the Rev. Mr. Edes, JOHN WHIPPLE, jun. Esq. Attorney at Law, to Miss MARIA BOWEN, daughter of Dr. William Bowen, all of this town. In Buckstown, (Me.) Mr. SAMUEL B. MARTIN, formerly of this town, to Miss JANE BUCK, of that place.
Died.
A tremendous Providence has recently alarmed the inhabitants of this town, by repeated instances of short and unexpected calls to the world of spirits. The dreadful summons, "be ye also ready," is proclaimed, not merely to the ears of the feeble and infirm, but likewise to those bodies that seemed the asylum of health. On the 23d instant, Captain AMOS WARNER, of this town, in the 45th year of his age, was suddenly arrested, and by a short and unanticipated notice, consigned to the clods of the valley. Amidst the constellation of virtues that surrounded his character, the star of benevolence shone the most splendid. Compassion, and all the softer charities of life, seemed to have been twined by the hand of nature around every fibre of his heart, and his numerous relatives and friends were regaled and invigorated by the fragrance of the blossoms.—But "That warm ebullient heart is cold and dead Upon its bed of clay."
Amidst the pressure of so many cares, and with a summons so sudden, while all the various ties of the father, the husband, and the friend, were pressing on his heart, he calmly resigned them all to the disposal of Divine Providence, and closed his eyes in tranquility and peace. His funeral will be attended at 3 o'clock, P. M. to-morrow, from his late dwelling-house, escorted by the Masonick and Marine Societies, of which the deceased was a member.
In this town, on Wednesday evening last, Mrs. FRANCES DAVENPORT, consort of Mr. Samuel Davenport, in the 71st year of her age. Her funeral will be attended at two o'clock this afternoon, from her late dwelling, in Arnold-Street.
On Monday last, Mr. HOLLIMAN WARNER, in the 64th year of his age.

A letter from Halifax, of the 14th inst. says, "A ship (probably the Susquehanna) and a brig from Baltimore to Tonningen have been sent in here for adjudication; the brig and cargo have been condemned; and we suspect the ship will also; on the ground of having certificates of the cargo's being of foreign origin on board.—A letter from Eastport, says, that several vessels from the United States bound to Tonningen have been sent into Halifax and condemned. A reversal of the sentences of condemnation is anticipated."

FARMS FOR SALE.
The subscriber offers for sale the following Farms in the State of Connecticut: ONE in the north Society in Coventry, on the road leading from Hebron to Tolland, containing about 110 acres of excellent Land, about two miles from the Meeting-House, half a mile from a School, and 100 rods from a good Grist-Mill and Saw-Mill. 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 river, 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 somewhat 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 340 acres, with a large, good one story House, with two chimneys, well finished, and convenient 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 Orchard, 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 mowing, 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 settlement and neighbourhood of a family connexion. One contains about 125 acres, with a two story House and Barn, and three flourishing young Orchards; will cut annually 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 woodland; and will be sold separately or together, and possession may be had immediately.
Also one in Blanford, of fifty acres, with a House and Barn; well watered, under good improvement, and well proportioned into mowing, pasturing, ploughing and woodland. The above Farms will be sold on reasonable 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; lately 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 necessary 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. Also, ten acres of Woodland, within one mile of the above stand.
Also, one hundred thousand acres of Land, in New-Connecticut; part of which lies in the flourishing towns of Hartford, Vienna, Nelson, and Rootstown; settled from thirty to sixty families in each town. These towns are well watered, and well accommodated with roads, Grist-Mills and Saw-Mills; the land is of a good quality, the water is good, and the country remarkably healthy; and part is situated in three entire towns of about 15,000 acres each, and in several tracts of land from one thousand to four thousand acres, not surveyed into lots, and which the subscriber will sell either by the whole township or tract, or by any less quantity, as may best suit purchasers. It will be noticed, that the price of land, in the unsettled 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 advantage of a first choice, but also will secure to them, the rise in the value of the lands. A good title, and the most liberal terms given to purchasers. EPHRAIM ROOT. For further particulars, apply to JOSEPH ROGERS, Esq. at Hartford, Connecticut. Hartford. (Con.) October 8, 1809. 6m.
