IMPORTANT Foreign Intelligence, By the HENRY & JANE from London.
PEACE Between France & Great Britain.
From the London Morning Post of Oct. 3. WE have the pleasure at last to announce that the PRELIMINARIES OF PEACE are SIGNED between FRANCE and BRITAIN! contrary to the general expectation. We have already stated, that, about five or six weeks ago, the English Cabinet, desirous of drawing the Negotiation to a conclusion, gave it a project as its ultimatum, resolved to make a Peace on that basis, or break off the Treaty within the month of September, that it might be ready to lay before the Parliament, at its meeting, a report of the efforts to put an end to the war. Eager hopes were entertained for the effect of this step, and the funds rose; but Bonaparte met it with coldness, made new demands, and occasioned delays, which destroyed the hopes of those who had been the most sanguine. Ministers continued to press him; the form of a Preliminary Treaty was sent off early last week to Paris, with an assurance, that unless it was acceded to, the negotiation must close. One half of the Cabinet Ministers had no expectation of success: peace was despaired of. The answer of the First Consul received on Wednesday, however, to the astonishment of all, closed with the proposals of our Government! A Cabinet Council was held, and an Express sent off to His Majesty, whose sanction returned next afternoon. The silver box, never used since the Peace with America was signed, was sent to the Lord Chancellor at five o'clock for the great seal and his signature, and, the consent of all the other Cabinet Ministers being obtained, at seven o'clock Lord Hawkesbury and M. Otto signed the Preliminaries of Peace in Downing-street; and his Lordship sent off the following Letter to the Lord Mayor:
"To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. Downing Street, Oct. 1, 1801, at night."
MY LORD, "I have great satisfaction in informing your Lordship, that Preliminaries of Peace between Great Britain and France have been signed this evening by myself on the part of His Majesty and by M. Otto on the part of the French Government. I request your Lordship will have the goodness to make this intelligence immediately public in the City."
"I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) "HAWKESBURY."
The funds the three per cents, which had been at 59; the preceding day, rose to 66; and the omnium, which had been at 8, rose to 18.
The conditions of the treaty are not fully known. It is said, that they guarantee the integrity of our three Allies, Turkey, Portugal and Naples. Of course Egypt will be evacuated both by French and English, and Madeira restored. France guarantees to these three of our Allies their dominions; but it seems our Allies, the Stadholder and King of Sardinia, as well as the French Princes, are abandoned to their fate! The Pope's territories are to be evacuated; Malta is to be restored to its ancient Knights; Minorca to be restored to Spain; and Porto Ferrajo evacuated. So, we gain nothing in the Mediterranean, or in Europe; while France gains all Holland and Netherlands, a large part of Germany, Switzerland, and two-thirds of Italy! In the West-Indies, the only conquest we are to keep is, as we are told, Trinidad.—The Cape of Good Hope is to be made a free port and Ceylon is to be ceded to this country. We shall offer no opinion upon the conditions until they are better authenticated.
[It should be kept in mind that these are merely editorial conjectures, and as the preliminaries which have been signed were proposed by the British, it is rather improbable that the above are the articles.]
A copy of the treaty signed by Ld. Hawkesbury was on Thursday night dispatched to Paris, where it will arrive this night; and the ratification is expected back on Monday night or Tuesday morning, when it will be ratified by the British Government also, and published, we hope, in an Extraordinary Gazette.
Parliament will be immediately summoned to meet within fourteen days, for the dispatch of business, the preliminaries will be laid before it, its sanction obtained, and in the midst of the general joy a loan will be raised to be an unexampled extent, as Government is known to be in want of an enormous sum of money.
Parliament will be adjourned to meet after Christmas, and receive the definitive treaty. In the mean time we understand Joseph Bonaparte is expected in London, to have the
set of negotiating and signing that treaty. But it will be rather an instrument of form, than of real importance, we presume, as the preliminary treaty between this Country and France have usually been adopted for the definitive.
The sensation produced yesterday among the populace was nothing equal to what might have been expected. The capture of half a dozen men of war, or the conquest of a colony, would have been marked with a stronger demonstration of joy. The illumination, so far from being general, was principally confined to a few streets, the Strand, the Hay-market, Pall-mall, and Fleet-street. In the last, the Globe Tavern was lighted up at an early hour, with the word Peace in coloured lamps. This attracted a considerable mob, which filled the street before the door. It was apprehended, that they would immediately set out on their tour through the whole town, and enforce an universal illumination. This induced a few of the bye-streets to follow the example, but nothing more. There were several groups of people, but no crowd, in the neighbourhood of Temple-bar. The other streets, even those that were illuminated, were not more frequented than usual. St. James'-street, Bond-street, and the West part of the town; East of St. Paul's, together with Holborn, and the North part, did not illuminate. Several flags were hoisted in the course of the day, and the bells of all the churches were set a ringing.
An additional party of the Life Guards were ordered yesterday into town, in case of any riotous proceedings from the lower order of the people, to compel the inhabitants to illuminate.
It was expected that the Park and Tower guns would have been fired yesterday, on the occasion of the signing of the Preliminaries of Peace; but this ceremony will not take place till the ratification.
It is singular that, neither in the London Gazette, or the Letter to the Lord Mayor, is any mention made of a cessation of hostilities; but that, we suppose, is understood, though the words, "Preliminaries of Peace," do not imply so much.
No business was done on the Corn Exchange yesterday in consequence of the signing of Preliminaries of Peace, and we hope that happy event will put an end to all monopolizers of grain.
Ld. Nelson has been informed by an express of the signing of preliminaries of peace.
France and Russia.
A kind of preliminary Treaty, which the First Consul sent to ALEXANDER I. for his approbation, tending chiefly to terminate the present differences between the French and Russian Nations, has obtained the conditional sanction of that Monarch, who has charged M. DE MARKOW, the new Russian Minister at Paris, to ratify it in his name, should the First Consul agree to the terms proposed.
From Egypt.
LONDON, SEPT. 30.
The embarkation of the French troops that surrendered at Cairo, was expected to be completed by the 8th of Aug. Sickness prevailed in the British army, among those afflicted were Generals Hutchinson, Doyle and Craddock.
OCT. 3.
The Moniteur has published the French official account of the surrender of Cairo. The bickerings among the generals was one of the causes of the defeat of the French in Egypt. Bonaparte is indignant at their conduct. Regnier demands a court-martial—and Menou will have one without asking.
Mr. Melwitz servant to Lord Elgin, arrived yesterday with dispatches from his Lordship, dated Constantinople, Sept. 6, stating that Gen. Hutchinson invested Alexandria the 17th of Aug. after the flotilla of French gun-boats had been destroyed and some batteries between Lake Mareotis and the shore. Menou on the 22d, sent a flag of truce, demanding an armistice of three days, which was granted, at the end of which Alexandria will be given up.
Bonaparte, was urged to conclude our Treaty by other motives than the conditions offered. Factions were forming against him at Paris, taking peace for their ground, and he was obliged to have a large body of troops in that city. Alexandria, too, which he made an article of barter in the negotiation, he knew had surrendered, and he wished to obtain something under pretence of giving it up.
M. Otto is said to have had accounts of the surrender of Alexandria, on Thursday night, before he signed the Preliminary Treaty.
PORTO FERRAJO.
The Paris Moniteur of Sept. 28, relates, that Ad. Warren, debarked
2300 Swiss troops on the island of Elba, together with sailors and marines, to act in concert with the garrison of Porto Ferrajo. They were at first successful, and took a battery; but, at length, (says the French paper) were repulsed, and intercepted in their retreat, 200 English taken prisoners, and 1000 of the foreign corps killed. A British frigate dismasted, and 10 gun boats taken.
FRENCH CLERGY.
Extracts of a letter from Rome, Aug. 29.
"The Concordat, agreed upon between the Pope and the First Consul, has for its object to re-establish, in France, the public worship of the Catholic Church. The Sovereign Pontiff explained himself formally, and the French Minister Cacault has made no mystery of it. The Cardinal Caprara, appointed Legate a latere to see the Concordat executed, is to take his route through the Tyrol, and enter France by the way of Alsace. The promulgation of the Bull will not take place till he arrives in Paris. He will reside there for about a year to consolidate the business. This intelligence is authentic; but what now follows has not the same degree of authenticity, because the First Consul has threatened to withdraw his signature, if the clauses of the Concordat should be published before it was officially promulgated.
"There is mention of a general resignation of all the French Bishops. The Pope takes upon him to demand that the old Prelates, and the First Consul will oblige the new to conform to the proposition.
"The Episcopal Sees will be filled up by persons presented to them by the First Consul, and confirmed by the Pope, as has been done in France before the Revolution. The Curates are to be appointed by the Bishops, and Prefects conjointly. The Catholic Religion is to be recognized as that of the majority of the French, its Ministers to have salaries, and a sanction is to be given to the sale of the ecclesiastical property. The form of the engagement to be taken is to be— We promise fidelity to the Government of the French Republic, as established by the Constitution. "
"The Jesuits of Spain, who had last year permission to return to their country, have since received counter orders. The Pope has granted to those of Russia a new brief, which confirms their general and their institution, establishes them throughout the whole of the Empire upon the same footing that they were before their dissolution, notwithstanding any bull, brief, &c. to the contrary.—They are also restored in Sardinia, some parts of Italy, and in Rome, with a numerous body of novitiates. There are two houses of them in France; the one at Paris, the other at Rouen. The institution bears the title of the Society of the Faith of Jesus. The Abbe De Broglie is gone to found a seminary of them in England; but we understand that the old Jesuits do not acknowledge this establishment, and consider its members only as Bastard Jesuits."
LONDON, SEPT. 30.
Monday last the French Bishops held their adjourned Meeting, to take into consideration the report of the Committee of two Archbishops and two Bishops, upon the letter of the Pope, requiring the abdication of their Sees.
Of 19 French Bishops, who have taken refuge in London, five conform to the Pope's direction, in consequence of his agreement with the French Government. Of 83 French Bishops now alive, there are 18 conformists.
Troubles in Turkey.
The Turkish Empire is advancing rapidly to that dissolution which has been so long predicted. Insurrection has not been confined to one Province, but has broken out near Constantinople, at Adrianople, Philippopoli, Nissa, and other places. The populace have risen upon their Magistrates, and much blood has been shed. Several Governors have been forced to fly, and revolt is spreading in the most rapid manner. We dread the consequences of a revolution in a country situated as Turkey is—where there will be no other rallying point or common principle than that of destroying the Government. No system will be prepared to replace that which is destroyed, and it is to be apprehended that anarchy will pervade the whole empire.
Revolution in Holland.
LONDON, SEPT. 27.
A revolution has taken place in the Batavian government. The Dutch Legislature has been dissolved by the Directory, and a new plan of Constitution has been submitted to the people.
On the 16th inst. a message was sent to the First Chamber, with the new Constitution. The Directory did not ask the advice of the Chamber,
but merely notified what they had done. Violent debates took place. Upon a division there was a majority against the Directory of 28 to 26. A committee was appointed to report upon the message. Their report was favourable to the principle of the New Constitution's being submitted to the people. But when the report was taken into consideration, it was negatived by 27 to 25, and the measure was agreed to be deferred. In this state of affairs the Directory published a Proclamation dissolving the Legislative Body, and requiring the people to give their votes upon the New Constitution on the 1st of Oct.
The New Constitution consists of 108 articles. The Directory are to be abolished, and the Executive power is to be invested in a State Directory of 12 persons, one of whom is to go out yearly. The Legislature is to consist of 35 members, and the Republic is to be divided into eight departments.
Several members of the Dutch Legislature, in consequence of their determined opposition to the tyranny of the Directory, have been arrested.
OCT. 3.
The conduct of the Dutch Executive Power in dissolving the Legislature, is a violation of every principle of justice. The Dutch people viewed the affair with indifference, the time is past when such acts excited popular indignation. The public cared neither for their executive nor legislative. The French government disclaims all participation in the transaction.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Prussian troops have not entered the Bishopric of Munster.
The French Government has officially expressed astonishment at the delay on the part of the Germanic Diet, to execute the 7th art. of the treaty of Luneville—and insists on some conclusion respecting the indemnities.
It is evident Piedmont is to be annexed to France.
It is understood that the King of Naples has surrendered the whole of his great navy to France, viz. two ships of the line and two frigates.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of MR. JEFFERSON.
Extracted from a late London publication, entitled "Public Characters of 1800—1801."
MR. JEFFERSON was born in Virginia, and is now supposed to be somewhat turned of fifty. He is the son of a gentleman of that state, the same who was joint commissioner with Col. Fry, for settling and extending the boundary line between Virginia and North Carolina in 1749.
He was educated in his native land, from which he was never absent till his service demanded his residence at the Court of Paris, whither he was sent as an envoy.
Mr. Jefferson is tall, and slender make, fresh complexion, clear penetrating eyes, hair inclining to red, and of very modest and affable deportment. He was professionally bred a lawyer, though born to affluent fortune; yet the public demand for his talents in a higher sphere, left him but little time to display his native eloquence as a barrister, nor was he of a turn to profit by the arts of ordinary practice. His country called him forward at a very early period, and promised herself in his abilities those very important ends which have been so conspicuously realized in whatever he has been engaged.
In private life, in his younger days, (the only days which fortune seems to have allotted him for an uninterrupted intercourse with the world) he was, in every circle, (and all of the first were competitors for his presence) its ornament, instructor and pride.—Close application had supplied the want of many European advantages. Without neglecting the particular study to which his primary employments were devoted, Mr. Jefferson found also a sufficient number of hours to attend to the politer acquirements. In these auxiliary accomplishments, he attained a knowledge of drawing, geometry, geography, astronomy, natural philosophy and music, in which he was considered a proficient; nor was his information in history and state affairs neglected for these adornments. At an early age he married a mild
and amiable wife, the daughter of Mr. Wales, an eminent counsellor in Virginia, an affectionate partner, who, unfortunately, no longer exists. The death of this lady, of course, devolved on him a more weighty parental care, in the education of her two lovely daughters; they have been reared under his immediate inspection; and have accompanied his diplomatic functions whithersoever they have been directed.
It could not be expected that a man of such qualifications, in a country which stood in so much need of them, could be suffered to remain long in philosophic retirement; man is not born for himself alone, and the vote of his constituents claimed his labors in the field of jurisprudence.
In the legislature of Virginia, he became a distinguished and useful member, and has left many traces on record of sufficient importance to indicate future greatness.
During the revolutionary period which separated the United States from their mother country, we find him advancing to a still more dignified station; he was one of those in whose hands the people thought fit to confide the most material events of their political existence and future happiness. He was honored with the public confidence during its important struggles, and sat two years in the famous Congress, which brought about the revolution, and which is now everywhere highly respected.
They must be very ignorant of the history of America, who know not that Mr. Jefferson shared with George Washington, Franklin, John Adams, Mr. Jay, and a few others, the toils and dangers of the revolution in all its different stages; that in the famous Congress which guided and consolidated it, he displayed a boldness and firmness of character, a fund of talents and a steadiness of principles, which will hand down his name to posterity with glory, and assure to him forever the respect and gratitude of all the friends of liberty.
It was he who in the famous Congress, so respectable and so much respected, in that Congress, ever inaccessible to the seduction, fear and apparent weakness, of the people, who jointly with Mr. Lee, another deputy from Virginia, proposed the declaration of Independence. It was he who, supported principally by John Adams, pressed the deliberation on the subject, and carried it, bearing down the wary prudence of some of his colleagues, possessed of an equal share of patriotism, but of less courage. It was he who was charged with drawing up this master piece of dignified wisdom and patriotic pride. It was he who, being afterwards appointed Governor of Virginia, at the period of invasion by Arnold and Cornwallis, acquired a peculiar claim to the gratitude of his fellow citizens. It was he who was the first Ambassador of the United States in France, filled, at that momentous epocha, that distinguished post, to the satisfaction of both nations. In fine, it was he who, as Secretary of State, in 1792, when the ridiculous and disorganizing pretensions of Mr. Genet, and lofty arrogance of the British Ministers, endeavored alternately to abuse the political weakness of the United States, induced his Government to speak a noble and independent language, which would have done credit to the most formidable power. The long correspondence carried on with these two designing agents would, from its just, profound and able reasoning, be alone sufficient to confer on its author the reputation of an accomplished statesman.

GOOD RULES.
Be not very free in your remarks upon characters. There may be in all companies, more wrong heads than right ones—more people who deserve, then who will be a censure.
Never whisper in company. Conversation is common stock, in which all persons present have a right to claim their share.
Be not forward in leading the conversation—this belongs to the oldest person in the company. Display your learning only on particular occasions. Never oppose the opinion of another but with great modesty.
Never receive nor retail scandal.—In scandal, as in robbery, the partaker is as bad as the thief.
Frequent and loud laughter, is the characteristic of folly and ill manners—it is the manner in which silly people express their joy at silly things.

LEXINGTON, October 27.
Stop one of the greatest villains that ever disgraced human nature!!!
It must be recollected that last spring it was mentioned that a farmer in the neighbourhood of Drennin's Lick, had two children missing; and that after the most diligent search for many days no tidings could be had of them. It unfortunately happened that a dispute had taken place between this farmer and Alexander Bowen, who worked a furnace at the Lick, on some trifling affair; Bowen vowed revenge. The two families were in the strongest habits of intimacy to the time of the quarrel. The children of both families visited each other at their different habitations, to exercise their little playful sports—but mark these poor innocents' (the one being only five and the other three years old) reception on going to their playmates—the inhuman villain had then his salt kettles boiling, and in the presence of his wife and negro, laid hold of the youngest, and instantly threw it into the flames; the oldest observing this worst of all savage brutality, ran and clasped Mrs. Bowen, and implored her protection—all was in vain—he threatened her with the same fate if she did not immediately desist, and the poor unfortunate child suffered the same agony of its infant brother.
The murderous wretch was not yet appeased—he threatened both wife and negro, if ever they disclosed the horrid transaction.—He observed in the negro afterwards a degree of melancholy, which induced the murder of him for fear of a discovery.
Mrs. Bowen has lately called upon the unfortunate mother, and disclosed the whole proceeding. Warrants have been issued, and it is the sincere prayer of all who have heard of the transaction, that this infernal monster may be apprehended; so as to meet his just reward.
NORFOLK, Nov. 6.
Facts relative to Mr. Fox's dismissal.
The Secretary of the Navy has wrote him that government, not intending to begin the 74 gun ships until the whole of the timber was collected and seasoned, his services at present were not wanting. The public property, which formerly was in charge of the Clerk of the Yard, is now put under the Agent's care, who is personally responsible for it; and a competent guard of marines is on their way for its protection.
NEW-LONDON, Nov. 18.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Charleston, to his correspondent in this city, dated Oct. 23, 1801.
"Freighting business is extremely dull, no demand for vessels; the harvest is over. There are now in Charleston about fifty square rigged vessels, seeking freight. Not a single bale of cotton offering. Sad times, they may mend toward spring, but I fear not sooner."
BOSTON, November 20.
POLITICAL REMARKS.
THE late intelligence from Europe is so important in its nature and consequences, so interesting to the Farmer, Merchant and Politician, that it will be some relief to speculate upon it, if little, either useful or correct, is communicated. The event, though sudden, ought not to create much surprise, when the nature and progress of the war are considered. A war arising from such causes and carried on with such a spirit as this has been; a war, in which the barriers of countries have been broken down, independent states changed, annihilated, and sold in the market; a war, in which the property, the liberty, nay the existence of nations has been staked, and which has called forth all their resources and their strength, could not, in the nature of things, continue for a long period.
What the conditions of the treaty are, we are not informed; though conjecture is busy in carving out to the parties their several portions.—Whether Great Britain, as is rumoured, keeps possession of Ceylon, with her other conquests in the east, and Trinidad in the West Indies; whether Egypt is to be guaranteed to the Porte, Malta to its ancient Knights, and the Cape of Good Hope made a free port, under the direction of the English; or, whether all the conquests, which they have made during the war are to be given up, (which the French have hitherto made their ultimatum) it cannot be very material to the future security of England. That must still be found in her own vigilance, spirit, and resources. Her necessary expense will be hardly less in peace, than in war, for while France holds her enormous acquisitions of power, it will not be safe for England to reduce her army and navy to the usual peace establishment. Besides, the
British Government are aware, that a treaty made with the First Consul, will be regarded by him, just so far as his interest is concerned in its support; of course, it is not probable, that they will make any reduction of national force, from a reliance on the faithful observance of treaties. If Bonaparte, still pursuing his scheme of aggrandizement, should wish to establish a military colony in Egypt, and his intrigues at the Turkish Court for permission should fail, treaties would be among the small hindrances to the accomplishment of his object. Whether England, in such a state of peace, loosing in some measure her monopoly of commerce, and becoming a competitor, exposed to the corrupting influence of French emissaries, who will improve their opportunity to sow the seeds of revolution, together with some relaxation of that spirit, which was kept braced in war, will gain a real substantial good we will not undertake to decide.
If we examine the late conduct of the great European powers, we may perhaps be led to some of the causes which have operated in hastening a peace.
Within a short period, the French emigrants were arrested at Bareuth in Germany, by order of the King of Prussia.
This act evinces a disposition on the part of Prussia, not only to avoid all appearance of hostility, but to aid the vices of France, where it could be done without making any sacrifice of interest. It will be recollected, that Prussia was early detached from the coalition, and that it has been her policy ever since, to extend her own power and influence, without engaging in the wars of the continent. She is afraid to provoke the displeasure of the First Consul, and ill disposed from interest and policy, to aid in operations which are aimed to lessen his overgrown power.
The conduct of Russia towards France, implies some change of policy. Within a few months, the Russian Minister Kalitcheff, officially reminded the First Consul of his engagement to restore the Kings of Sardinia, and the two Sicilies to their thrones and territories, and that its strict fulfilment alone could ensure the continuance of a good understanding between the two countries. Lately, we have seen a note of a very different tendency, in which the Emperor commands all his Ambassadors and Envoys, in foreign Courts, to treat the Ministers and Agents of the French Republic with respect, and as friends. Where are we to look for this sudden change of measures? Is it to be found in the moderate and conciliating instructions of the new ministry of Lord St. Helens, who is said to hold the opinion, that all attempts to resist the power of France, will be useless? Or can it not be more rationally explained, by supposing that Bonaparte has pointed his finger to Turkey, and said to Alexander, employ your force without disturbance, in subduing and annexing that feeble and tottering state to your own empire. Is not this supposition more consonant to the well-known policy of the French? And when we consider, that Turkey has long lived upon the indulgence of her neighbors, that Constantine, the brother of Alexander, was named, nursed, and educated for its throne, is it not probable that the proposal was relished, and the change of policy the natural consequence? Whether the prohibition of the Russian Government to export deals to Great Britain implies a jealousy of its naval power, or a wish to satisfy France of a friendly disposition, or neither, we leave it to wiser politicians to decide?
England had many reasons for concluding a peace. She was deserted by her allies on the continent, and left to contend alone with an enemy, whose power, resources and ambition are more dangerous to them, than they can be to her. The burthens of the war were great, and the landed interest, which had hitherto supported the ministry, became convinced, that the attempt to reduce France within such limits, as would be consistent with the safety of Europe, would be vain.—Considerations of this nature and the jealousies manifested by the continental powers, probably had some influence in preparing the mind of the British King to sign the treaty of Luneville, as elector of Hanover, and to abandon the idea of clipping the territory of France, by forming another coalition against her. There are some facts, which, though unimportant themselves, tend to prove, in their connection, that the new ministry were very solicitous for peace, and ready to remove all appearances of insincerity to a final adjustment. Still there is no reason to conclude, that England has made a peace, on terms incompatible with her honor, or dignity; or, that she does not amply possess the means and the spirit to defend herself at home and abroad against all encroachment.
In France the clamors for peace were loud; and not to be wholly dis-
regarded, even by Bonaparte. Whatever his projects of ambition may have been, it was necessary to suspend them for a time, and accommodate himself to the demands of those powerful factions, which had taken peace for their ground. The array of bayonets was not sufficient to awe a Parisian mob into silence, inured, as they have been, to revolution. If peace appeared to them a desirable object, and Bonaparte persisted in hostile operations, twenty Brutuses would have sprung up to avenge their wrongs on Cæsar. In addition to this, the petty republics and allies, which have been plundered to the uttermost farthing, could neither feed nor clothe the ravenous legions of France; and Spain would not be revolutionized, and put in a state of requisition, left her valuable possessions on the continent should enrich the enemies of the republic. Bonaparte will find employment enough to support himself in a situation, to which he has no better title than any other man; and it is doubtful whether a state of peace, notwithstanding all his precautions, will not be more dangerous to his power, than a state of war. He has established the Roman Catholic Religion, probably as an auxiliary to his power; yet it remains to be decided, whether the government is to be military one, or whether the country will be doomed to go through other scenes of revolution and anarchy.
THE UNITED STATES and TRIPOLI.
A letter from Gibraltar, Sept. 14, says News of peace with Tripoli is expected. The Balthaw has invited Capt. Dale on shore; but the captain requested that a person might be sent on board his ship, with any propositions which might be contemplated. There is no doubt of the continuance of the peace with Algiers.
MARYLAND.
The Legislature of this State is in session. The majority are democrats. Charles Frazier, Esq. was unanimously chosen Speaker. There are in the Treasury £ 2786, of the emission bills of credit, made by an act of Congress of the 18th of March, 1780—paid in on account of British creditors.
John Francis Mercer, Esq. is chosen Governor of Maryland. He had 59 votes, and Doctor James Murray, 27.
National Register.
Mr. Fox, superintendent of the Navy Yard at Gosport, Virg. fled. Property of some hundred thousands of dollars value in the yard, is imagined to be an exposed loss by the suspension of the office by Mr. Fox held. We hope of course will take care that the vanity of optimizing, does not lead them into any great errors.
The salary of the Post Master General it is said is 3000 dollars. We understand Mr. Granger esteems it insufficient, but hopes to make it do, with a little law practice.—We merely mention this to show, that members of the party, that complained of the former administration for giving exorbitant salaries—can pocket the same and think them little enough. The people will get nothing in this point by the change, and must be mortified at the fact.
On the subject of Commerce, we learn, by a letter, dated at Bourdeaux, Oct. 7, that Wine and Brandy had risen 25 per cent within 48 hours after the receipt of the news of Peace with England.
Other letters from the same place, and by the same opportunity observe, that excepting the articles of Wine and Brandy, Goods had generally felt a depression.
Capt. Eulen, of the brig Halcyon, spoke a few days since, the schr. Hope, from Lisbon, for Boston, the Capt. of which informed, that he had fallen in with the British Packet, a few days previous from Falmouth, for Halifax and Newyork, and was told that Peace was proclaimed in England, by a Proclamation from Government.
The port of Oronoko is again open to the American trade.
The brig Sally, of Philadelphia, 12 months since condemned at Halifax, has been released in England, and the decree reversed.
PORTSMOUTH, November 24.
The effect of peace in Europe upon this country is a matter of great speculation—in which there are various opinions—in one thing they seem all to unite—namely, the immediate reduction of prices of all kinds of country produce. Labour also must fall one half at least. Perhaps in this town the alteration will not be sudden as in the larger sea ports—but we may venture to prognosticate, that before the month of February the prices will be as low as before the war. Why should it be otherwise? is the natural
enquiry—It is an acknowledged fact, that both in this country and in Europe, there never were more abundant crops (taken collectively) than there were the present year. The usual source of remittance from this country in some measure failing—money must consequently grow scarcer—specie must disappear, and the banks be compelled to call in: consequently those in debt must experience some trouble. The unnatural value placed upon real estate in our seaports must also cease—and in a degree, the price of lands in the country must fall.—It may by some, be thought unnecessary to alarm people, but certainly there can be no injury in saying the present is the best time to pay debts.
ORDAINED—At Northampton, on Wednesday, 18th inst. the Rev. JONATHAN FRENCH, jun. to the pastoral care of the church and congregation, in that place. The introductory prayer was made by the Rev. Mr. HOLT, of Epping; sermon by the Rev. Mr. FRENCH, of Andover, from 11 Cor. 2d, 15th, and 16th, v.; "For we are unto GOD a sweet favour of CHRIST," &c.—Consecrating prayer by the Rev. Mr. TAPPAN—charge by the Rev. Mr. BUCKMINSTER, of Portsmouth—the fellowship of the churches by the Rev. Mr. STEARNS, of Bedford—and the concluding prayer by the Rev. Mr. KENDALL, of Plymouth. The occasion was solemn and interesting. The pertinent language, and fervent spirit, displayed in prayer, engaged the attention, and we believe, the heart of every auditor. The sermon happily explained the nature of the gospel ministry, and its effects both on them that are saved, and them that perish. The address to the pastor elect was truly the address of a father to a son. The charge, though a production of the moment, contained the lessons of wisdom and experience; although, as the speaker observed in his introduction, like Abraham, he was going forth he knew not whither; yet, we presume the happy effects on the auditory could not have been heightened by premeditation. The spirit of brotherly love dictated the fellowship. Sacred music, silence and order rendered the occasion pleasing and solemn.
