New-York, Nov. 27.
A letter from a respectable mercantile house, dated Cork, October 13 says, that WAR is inevitable:--and that in consequence of this belief--American produce had taken a very considerable rise.
Yesterday morning arrived the Ship Jenny, Captain Smith, in 38 days from Cork. By this vessel we have received the following important Intelligence, as late as the 13th October.
P A R I S, September 30.
Mr. de Suffreign is at present at Toulon, where they think he is preparing to take the command of the Squadron which Mr. Mailouet has had orders to equip. This Squadron consists of 12 sail, and is destined to guard the Mediterranean. Almost all the vessels and frigates in the port of Toulon are sheathed with copper, and will soon be, if they are not already, in the road, to ward off the blow with which France seems at present to be menaced.
Versailles, Sept. 27. Count d'Aranda, Ambassador Extraordinary from Spain, has had a particular audience of the King.
Madrid, Sept. 7. A committee of war is going to be established here, composed of General Officers; their deliberations are to be presented to the King, who will give such orders in consequence to the War Minister as he may think proper.
The plague has entirely ceased at Algiers.
L O N D O N, October 4 and 5.
Accounts from Vienna say, that the emperor has just issued a circular letter, commanding all the officers and soldiers belonging to the hereditary regiments to repair immediately to their respective commands.
Advices from Prague say, that the utmost exertion is now using in repairing and augmenting the fortifications and works of that city, as an attack is expected by a large army of Turks which is now collecting on the borders of Transylvania.
Letters from Brest advise, that the Re-union frigate, commanded by M. de Morheyson, and the Balloon brig, sailed from thence the 13th of September. They are going to St. Domingo for comte de la Luzerne, who is named minister for the marine department: It is believed that they will proceed first to the windward islands, to take on board the comte de Damas, who is to succeed monf. de la Luzerne, and his station at Martinico will be then occupied by Mr. Arthur Dillon, who commanded at Tobago. The Amphion, which had been fitted out at Rochfort for India, has been put out of commission at the moment it was going to depart. The Superb is fitting out at Brest for the St. Domingo station.
Extract of a letter from Cherbourg, Sept. 29. A yesterday an express arrived from Paris, with orders to mount the guns on the batteries, as well as to man the two king's ships that have been all the Summer in the road, and to prepare for war by obliging the towns people to work on the fame.
Extract of a letter from St. Maloes, Sept. 29. An order is this moment arrived here to equip the following ships of war with all expedition: L'Hippotaume of 64 guns; L'Hannibal of 50; and Le Saggittaire, Corneille, Cabot, and Destin frigates, which are, as we expect, intended for a squadron of observation in the channel, sailors are preparing to man them. The equipment is entrusted to the chevalier Guiberton, who is arrived here for that purpose.
The Paymaster General of the Army has received orders to issue money to all the officers on the recruiting service, to pay bounties to all such men as shall voluntarily enlist to serve in any of his Majesty's regiments.
The press continues to be pushed throughout all the ports with redoubled ardour; all the Custom-House cutters are now in the service, with a Lieutenant: and press gang on board each, and have swept off a considerable number of seamen, particularly from on board the different smuggling vessels on the coast of Essex, Kent, and Sussex.
On Wednesday last, two gentlemen from the African committee, waited upon the admiralty board, to represent the dangers they apprehended to some homeward bound ships, as well as to their vessels in the river, now preparing to proceed to Africa, when Mr. Stephens informed them, that it was their lordship's intention to provide immediate convoys for their protection.
Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, Oct. 2. His majesty's ships fitting out here go on very rapidly, and begin to get a great number of hands on board, as seldom a day passes but we have a hundred or two from one place or other; and we expect, in the course of next week, most of the ships will be fit to put to sea at a few hours notice. We have nothing but war here, and this place is all alive."
Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, Sept 22.
Late on Monday evening a king's mes-
senger with great difficulty procured a passage at Leith, and went on board the champion frigate, captain Dommet; and early on Tuesday morning the hottest impress ever remembered took place at Leith, where persons of every description were seized, and every ship in the roads stripped of her seamen. A number of men were afterwards set at liberty, but near 200 hands were detained for the service. The Shark is sailed with them for the Nore.
"We understand that twenty five good men were impressed by the crew belonging to the Shark, at Iverkithing, and a few at Burnt Island, and other ports in the Frith."
"On the above occasion, several of the seamen and marines employed in the impress service, having got intoxicated, paraded the streets of Edinburgh and Leith, with cutlasses and were guilty of a variety of wanton and unnecessary outrages. Several of them were by order of the magistrates, committed to the city guard. It is but justice to mention that the above outrages were committed without the knowledge and against the orders of the officers who have, on the occasion conducted themselves with all the lenity that so cruel and oppressive (though necessary) a measure will admit of."
A letter from Truro in Cornwall, says, that the crew of the Prince Henry cutter landed there the 28th ult. in order to impress some sailors when a body of miners assembled together, armed with bludgeons and other weapons, and a smart battle ensued; but the crew being overpowered by numbers were obliged to retreat to their cutter without carrying off a man. Several of the miners were wounded, but not dangerously.
It is said that a very serious revolt has arisen in St. Domingo, that the intendant had been massacred, and that M. de la Luzerne the governor had narrowly escaped the same fate.
The following ships were put in commission yesterday:
   Ships. Guns. Captains.     Barfleur 98 Knight   Cumberland 74 M'Bride   Bellona 74 Bowyer   Alcide 74 Caldwell   Robust 74 Cornwallis   Perseverance 36 Young   La Nymph 36 Piane   Spitfire, a fire-ship, Wallis.  
Nothing carries a greater appearance of war than the orders given by Government for putting fire-ships into commission, it being very unusual to equip those vessels till the last moment of a fleet sailing for actual service.
The 17th, 22d, 43d, 44th and 54th regiments of foot have received orders from the War-office to hold themselves in readiness for foreign service; but their destination is at present, as it ought to be, a profound secret.
Extract of a letter from Venice, Sept. 13.
"The news of the Ottoman Porte having declared war against Russia is arrived, and the Minister of that nation has demanded formally the fulfilling of the treaties subsisting between the Empress and the Republic. In consequence of which the Doge assembled the Senators, who have universally voted to stand fast by their treaties with the Russian empire. For this purpose many more men of war are fitting out, and sailors are sent for from the ports of Dalmatia and other places to man them."
It is undoubtedly the interest of Great-Britain to remain neuter in the present contest between the Russians and the Turks; she certainly is warranted to render no assistance to the Empress, both on account of her behaviour during the last war, and the preparations necessary to be made by Great-Britain for an approaching war with her old enemy.
The consequence of Great-Britain's standing neuter must be an obligation conferred on the Turks, who undoubtedly in return will favor England in her trade to the Levant.
Should England cease to render her services to the Empress of Russia, in a war against the Turks, there can be little or nothing to fear from her ill-will. England will speedily be enabled to draw from her colony of New South Wales the staple of Russia, hemp and flax.
At Rochford they are casting great guns, and forming magazines of naval stores; a number of fresh hands are employed in the rope-walks, and the officers of marines there have orders to recruit the marine guards with the utmost dispatch.
Couriers are almost daily passing between the Courts of Versailles and Madrid; and it is now generally believed by the best informed men, that Spain will enter into the designs of France.
Just as this paper was going to press ( Lloyd's E. Post, Oct. 5 ) we received the mails from Holland and Flanders, by which we learn that the negotiation between the Duke of Brunswick and the Amsterdam Deputies having failed of success, the outposts of the city of Amsterdam were, on Monday last, at three o'clock, attacked by the Prussian
troops; that about five the firing was very brisk, and continued so till seven, when the Prussians were repulsed in three different places, and retreated in disorder; that their loss, however, as well as that of the Amsterdammers, was not known; that the city was not out of danger, and that all the citizens were under arms.
The cause of the negotiation proving unsuccessful is said to have been occasioned by the Duke of Brunswick's insisting upon the implicit submission of the city of Amsterdam to the four articles of the last memorial delivered by the Prussian Minister.
The cape of Good Hope being a Dutch settlement, the Prince of Orange cannot be said to be reinstated in his possessions, until this French garrison is removed. This French garrison has been placed there with a view of hostility to Great-Britain: the Dutch and the French equally meant it. Nothing, therefore, can be more necessary, than to insist upon this garrison being withdrawn: this is one part, and a principal one, of Mr. Grenville's mission, at this time to the French Court. It is more than probable France will not give up the Cape of Good Hope. In this case, we must go to war with her.
Lord Heathfield, we learn from the first authority, will very shortly return to the Government of Gibraltar.
Yesterday morning, an express packet was received from France, by which there is an account that the French are at length arming for war, with exertions nearly equal to, though somewhat more late than our own; as a proof of which the Minister of the Marine department, whose place answers to that of Lord Howe in London, summoned a council of naval officers at his house on Sunday evening last, and after giving each their instructions, dispatched them for Brest and other ports, where they have appointments and orders to equip their ships directly with the utmost expedition.
The French Court have sent orders to Toulon for immediately arming six men of war. This armament is to be commanded by M. de Suffreign, who, it is said, is to cruise in the Mediterranean and Archipelago, as well to observe the motions of the belligerent powers, Russia and the Porte, as to protect the French commerce in the Levant.
From a late English Paper.
By a gentleman just arrived from America, we learn that Mr. Richard Penn, who is also lately arrived from thence, and is in Parliament for Appleby, in Yorkshire, is so much the idol of the people, that when he arrived at New-York, about 12 months since, all the light horse belonging to the Government, then quartered at Philadelphia, were ordered through the Jerseys, a distance of 100 miles, to escort him thither from New-York, an honor never conferred upon any other man; and so much has Mr. Penn's conduct endeared him to the people, that should they resolve upon a regal Government, he will most probably be the person fixed on as King. By the war he was deprived of property, since valued at two millions sterling; and although he espoused the cause of England, yet have the Congress voted him the payment of 126,000l. by annual instalments,--such was their opinion of him, though against their independency.
---We further learn, that the Congress is now very little respected, being, as it were, superseded by a Convention sitting at Philadelphia, and composed of Dr. Franklin (eighty-three years old) General Washington, and all the principal men of property and character in the several States; their deliberations are for the purpose of forming a liberal and permanent system of Government, but their debates are kept very secret. The country is very poor in point of specie, as it is weekly deprived thereof by large remittances to England; and no wonder, as many of the principal merchants are of England, who dispose of consignments from thence, and make their returns chiefly in hard dollars. Paper currency is almost the only money seen in the country.
---They have built only two ships of the line since the peace; one was sent a present to France, and the other met an accident in launching, and never put to sea. There is not an armed American vessel to be seen on the whole coast, and the navigation act has almost annihilated their trade to the West Indies.---They have sent eight ships to China, some as small as 80 tons burthen, which have returned safe, and made profitable voyages.---The French are by no means liked by the people at large, nor is there any one with so general as a re-union with England. They prefer our manufactures to all others, and copy us in every thing, even in our mail-coaches, which are already started from New-York to Philadelphia, and are extending wherever the roads will permit.
THE FEDERALIST. No. XI.
To the People of the State of New-York. THE importance of the Union, in a commercial light, is one of those points, about which there is least room to entertain a difference of opinion, and which has in fact commanded the most general assent of
men, who have any acquaintance with the subject. This applies as well to our intercourse with foreign countries, as with each other.
There are appearances to authorise a supposition, that the adventurous spirit, which distinguishes the commercial character of America, has already excited uneasy sensations in several of the maritime powers of Europe. They seem to be apprehensive of our too great interference in that carrying trade, which is the support of their navigation and the foundation of their naval strength. Those of them, which have colonies in America, look forward, to what this country is capable of becoming, with painful solicitude. They foresee the dangers that may threaten their American dominions from the neighbourhood of States, which have all the dispositions, and would possess all the means, requisite to the creation of a powerful marine. Impressions of this kind will naturally indicate the policy of fostering divisions among us, and of depriving us as far as possible of an ACTIVE COMMERCE in our own bottoms. This would answer the threefold purpose of preventing our interference in their navigation, of monopolising the profits of our trade, and of clipping the wings, by which we might soar to a dangerous greatness. Did not prudence forbid the detail, it would not be difficult to trace by facts the workings of this policy to the cabinets of Ministers.
If we continue united, we may counteract a policy so unfriendly to our prosperity in a variety of ways. By prohibitory regulations, extending at the same time throughout the States, we may oblige foreign countries to bid against each other, for the privileges of our markets. This assertion will not appear chimerical to those who are able to appreciate the importance of the markets of three millions of people---increasing in rapid progression, for the most part exclusively addicted to agriculture, and likewise from local circumstances to remain so---to any manufacturing nation; and the immense difference there would be to the trade and navigation of such a nation, between a direct communication in its own ships, and an indirect conveyance of its products and returns, to and from America, in the ships of another country. Suppose, for instance, we had a Government in America, capable of excluding Great-Britain (with whom we have at present no treaty of commerce) from all our ports, what would be the probable operation of this step upon her policies? Would it not enable us to negotiate with the fairest prospect for commercial privileges of the most valuable and extensive kind in the dominions of that kingdom? When these questions have been asked, upon other occasions, they have received a plausible but not a solid or satisfactory answer. It has been said, that prohibitions on our part would produce no change in the system of Britain; because she could prosecute her trade with us, through the medium of the Dutch, who would be her immediate customers and pay-masters for those articles which were wanted for the supply of our markets. But would not her navigation be materially injured, by the loss of the important advantage of being her own carrier in that trade? Would not the principal part of its profits be intercepted, by the Dutch, as a compensation for their agency and risk? Would not the mere circumstance of freight occasion a considerable deduction? Would not so circuitous an intercourse facilitate the competition of other nations, by enhancing the price of British commodities in our markets, and by transferring to other hands the management of this interesting branch of the British commerce?
A mature consideration of the objects, suggested by these questions, will justify a belief, that the real disadvantages to Britain, from such a state of things, conspiring with the prepossessions of a great part of the nation in favor of the American trade, and with the opportunities of the West-India Islands, would produce a relaxation in her present system, and would let us into the enjoyment of privileges in the markets of those islands and elsewhere, from which our trade would derive the most substantial benefits. Such a point gained from the British Government, and which could not be expected without an equivalent in exemptions and immunities in our markets, would be likely to have a correspondent effect on the conduct of other nations, who would not be inclined to see themselves altogether supplanted in our trade.
A further resource for influencing the conduct of European nations towards us, in this respect would arise from the establishment of a Federal navy. There can be no doubt, that the continuance of the Union, under an efficient Government, would put it in our power, at a period not very distant, to create a navy, which, if it could not vie with those of the great maritime powers, would at least be of respectable weight, if thrown into the scale of either of two contending parties. This would be more peculiarly the case in relation to operations in the West-Indies. A few ships of the line sent opportunely to the reinforcement of either side, would often be sufficient to decide

the fate of a campaign, on the event of which interests of the greatest magnitude were suspended. Our position is in this respect a very commanding one. And if to this consideration we add that of the usefulness of supplies from this country, in the prosecution of military operations in the West-Indies, it will readily be perceived, that a situation so favorable would enable us to bargain with great advantage for commercial privileges. A price would be set not only upon our friendship, but upon our neutrality. By a steady adherence to the Union we may hope ere long to become the Arbiters of Europe in America; and to be able to incline the balance of European competitions in this part of the world as our interest may dictate.
But in the reverse of this eligible situation we shall discover, that the rivalships of the parts would make them checks upon each other, and would frustrate all the tempting advantages, which nature has kindly placed within our reach. In a state so insignificant, our commerce would be a prey to the wanton intermeddlings of all nations at war with each other; who, having nothing to fear from us, would with little scruple or remorse supply their wants by depredations on our property, as often as it fell in their way. The rights of neutrality will only be respected, when they are defended by an adequate power. A nation, despicable by its weakness, forfeits even the privilege of being neutral.
[To be concluded to-morrow.]
GENERAL REVIEW.
Yesterday, agreeable to General Orders, the several regiments of Gen. Malcolm's Brigade, and Col. Bauman's regiment of artillery, were reviewed by his Excellency the Governor, and inspected by the Adjutant-general, Col. Fish.
After the review, the Legion, commanded by Col. Lewis, composed of Bauman's artillery, under Major Reed; the artillery, light infantry and grenadiers of the brigade under Major Van Horne, and the troops in rifle frocks under Major Wykoff, performed the following Firings and Manoeuvres with great spirit and good order.
FIRINGS.
 1. By platoons from right to left.  2. By ditto from wings to centre.  3. By ditto from the right of wings.  4. By wings.  5. By battalions.  6. A volley of the whole line. 
The firings performed by battalions—the artillery commencing and preceding each round of its respective battalion.
Each battalion then went through the street firing by platoons—both battalions at the same time.
MANOEUVRES.
 1. Column—on the right platoon, the right in front and displayed.  2. Upon the left—the left in front.  3. Upon the fifth platoon—the right in front.  4. Upon the third—the left in front.  5. Upon the right of wings—the right in front.  6. Advance and retire by files from the right of wings. 
of divisions. of platoons.
Then concluded with a Feu d'Joye.
The troops were handsomely uniformed and well accoutred—their behaviour soldierly—and the discipline exhibited on the occasion, did much credit to themselves and to the officers who commanded.
The proceedings of the day were so well regulated, and conducted with so much propriety, that amidst the confusion of the multitude, which a military parade generally gathers, no material accident happened.
The Baron de Rheeide, the Dutch Minister at the Court of Berlin, has written to the Hague, "That the French Minister had declared to the Prussian Court, that his master the King of France did not, in any shape, disapprove of the step which his Prussian Majesty had taken, by the march of his troops, to procure satisfaction for the injury done to his illustrious Sister, considering it as a matter which nearly involved his honor; but that his Most Christian Majesty flattered himself, nevertheless, that as soon as the King of Prussia had obtained the satisfaction he desired, he would withdraw his troops; and that his Most Christian Majesty trusting to this, had countermanded the order he had before given, relative to the troops assembled at Givet."
St. Andrew's Society.
THE Anniversary Festival of the St. Andrew's Society will be held at the City Tavern on the 30th instant, being St. Andrew's Day, when the Members are requested to attend at half past 11 o'clock.

New-York AIR FURNACE.
PETER T. CURTENUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner.  Castings made in an Air Furnace, are al- lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains.  In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subject the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the differ- ence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- tween refined and Bloomery Iron. The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and a good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware be- ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient indcement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings.  The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.  Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea-kettles, pye-pans, skil- lets, griddles, porrah kettles and coolers, whaling- kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cafes, cast bars for su- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for flit- ting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves nearly deco- rated with carved work, Bath stoves greatly elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouzes or the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill rounds and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlshells, cast iron screws for fulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, sash-weights, forge- hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred- quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and fukey boxes, &c. &c. &c.  N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6w

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS
of VESSELS,
THAT they beware of rigging, which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quanti- ties and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun of short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured in- to sail-cloth in Holland.  N. B. It should be enquired who are the prom- oters of this caution, be it known that we are a com- pany of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. tf New-York, Nov. 8.
