STANZAS, By Mrs. ROBINSON.
In this vain, busy world, where the good and the gay, By affliction or folly wing moments away; Where the false are respected, the virtuous be- tray'd, Where vice lives in sunshine, and genius in shade! With a foul sickened sadness all changes I see; For the world, the base world, has no pleasure for me!  In cities, where wealth loads the coffers of pride; Where talents and sorrow are ever allied; Where dullness is worship'd, and wisdom despis'd; Where none but the empty and vicious are priz'd; All scenes with distrust and abhorrence I see; For the world has no corner of comfort for me.  The pale Asiatics, encircled with gold, The sons of sleek virtue indignant behold; While the tythe-pamper'd churchman reviles at the poor, And the poor looking traveller faints at the door; While custom dares sanction oppression's decree— Oh, keep such hard bosoms, such monsters from me!  While the flame of a patriot expires in his breast, With ribbons, and tinsel, and frippery dress; While pride mocks the children of want and despair, Gives a sucer for each sigh, and a smile for each prayer;  Tho' he triumph his day, a short day it must be: Heav'n keep such cold tyrants, O, keep them from me;  While the lawyer still lives by the anguish of hearts, While he wrings the wrong'd bosom, and thrives as it smart; While he grasps the last guinea from poverty's heir; While he revels in splendor, which rose from despair;  While the tricks of his office, our scourges must be; Oh! keep the shrewd knave, and his quibbles from me!  While the court breeds the sycophant, train'd to enslave; While the prisons re-echo the groans of despair; While the state deals out taxes, the army dismay; While the rich are upheld, and the poor doom'd to pay,  Humanity saddens with pity, to see The scale of injustice; and trembles like me!  While patriots are slander'd, and venal slaves rise: When pow'r grows a giant, and liberty dies; While a platform of virtue o'er energy reigns, And the broad wing of freedom is loaded with chains;  While war spreads its thunder o'er land & o'er sea, Ah! who can but listen and murmur like me?  While the bosom which loves, and confesses its flame, By the high titled female is branded with shame; While a coronet hides what the humble despise; And the lowly must fall that the haughty may rise;  Oh! who can the triumph of infamy see, Nor shrink from the reptiles—and shudder like me?  Ah, world, thou vile world, how I sicken to trace, The anguish that hourly augments for thy race! How I turn from the worst, and honor the best; The enlighten'd adore, and the venal detest! And, O, with what joy to the grave could I flee, Since the world, the base world has no plea- sure for me!

EXTRACT from GALLATIN'S Sketch of Finances of the United States written in 1796.
(Continued.)
If it be insisted that the sales of stock to Europeans, being nothing more than a cer- tain mode of borrowing money in Europe, are advantageous to America, since we have so much demand for capital, and can em- ploy it in so profitable a way, still two cir- cumstances must concur in rendering bor- rowing useful, a low rate of interest, and a proper application of the capital borrowed. The rate of interest, as it depends upon the price obtained for the stock, is uncertain.— Yet it must be recollected that the purcha- ses by foreigners began at a very early pe- riod, and that during the six years that have elapsed since the funding system was propo- sed, the six per cent. stock has not been at par or above par more than eighteen months, viz. from the latter end of July, 1791, to the beginning of January, 1793. The pro- bability is, that we pay from 7 to 8 per cent on the capital which we have thus bor- rowed. Had, however, the whole of that capital been applied to productive purposes, it would have enabled the nation to pay the interest, high as it was, and perhaps to make some profit. But it cannot be denied that a small proportion indeed has been so ap- plied, as to increase the cultivation and improvement of lands, the erection of ma- nufactures, the annual income of the nation. Acquired suddenly by individuals, that ca- pital has been applied in the same manner as every other sudden acquisition of wealth; it has enabled those individuals to consume, to spend more, and they have consumed and spent extravagantly. Taking in the great number of elegant houses which have been built within a few years in all the large cities, and which, however convenient to the inhabitants, afford no additional revenue to the nation, it may be asserted, that the greater part of the capital, thus drawn from Europe for purchases of stock, has been ac- tually consumed, without leaving in its stead any other productive capital, and that as the nation still owes the whole, it has been im- poverished even by the only consequence of the funding system, that has made any tem- porary addition to the apparent wealth of the country. That wealth is, in a great degree, consumed and destroyed; and the whole debt remains to be paid. Still it is not astonishing, that those, who have been thus enabled to consume that capital, should not have attended much to the manner in which it was to be replaced and repaid by the nation, and should have finally persuad- ed themselves and many others, that the funding of the debt was a real and perma- nent increase of the national capital, a na- tional acquisition of wealth.
Let it not be supposed that any of these reflections are intended to convey a censure on that part of the funding system, which provided for the payment of the interest of the proper debt of the United States. They are designed merely to shew, that the pro- priety of that measure must have depended solely on its justice. Whether the debt had been funded on the plan of discrimination, in favor of the original holders, of those who had performed the services, or, as has been the case, in favor of the purchasers of certificates, the general effects would have been nearly the same; and unless the Ame- rican government had chosen to forfeit every claim to common honesty, it must ne- cessarily provide for discharging the princi- pal or paying the interest to one or the other of two descriptions of persons.
Whatever difference of opinion may here- tofore have existed on that subject, on the propriety of paying those who had purcha- sed the debt so much under its value, it now exists no more; it has ceased with the cause —for all the present owners have, or may be supposed to have purchased the debt at the market price, which, since it has been funded, has been obtained for it. The so- lemn obligations, superadded by the present government to those contracted before, ne- ver can be set aside without the most flagrant and pernicious breach of public faith and of national morality.
If the public debt is not an additional na- tional capital, no other disadvantage can re-
sult from its extinction, except the increa- se of taxes necessary for that purpose, and the annual loss which will be suffered, by repla- cing to Europe the capital borrowed there, either under the denomination of foreign debt, or by the sales of domestic debt. So far as the taxes necessary for that purpose will check consumption, the capital to be thus repaid abroad will be supplied by eco- nomy, and its payment will, in no shape whatever, impoverish the country. So far as those taxes will fall, not on that portion of the annual revenue which would have been consumed, but on that part which would have been saved and have become an addition to the permanent wealth of the nation, so far the progress of the country will, in a certain degree, be checked by the withdrawing and paying the capital due to Europe. To do this too suddenly would certainly be injurious to the community.— But any evil that may arise from a gradual extinction of the debt, from a gradual re- payment of the capital borrowed in Europe, will be more than counter-balanced by the natural progress of America, will free us from the payment of interest upon that ca- pital, and will, at the same time, strength- en the bonds of our union, and give addi- tional vigor and respectability to the nation.
It may have been supposed by some that the debt by rendering the creditors depend- ent on government, gave it an additional stability. But it should be recollected, that although an artificial interest is thereby cre- ated, which may at times give an useful sup- port, it may at some future period lend its assistance to bad measures and to a bad administration. So far as that interest is ar- tificial; so far as it is distinct from the ge- neral interest, it may perhaps act against that general interest and become as pernicious, as it is supposed to have been useful.— At all events, who can doubt that the jea- lousies, the apprehensions, the discontents excited by the public debt have been more injurious to our domestic peace, have gone farther to weaken our real union, than any other internal cause? It is a lamentable truth that the Americans, although bound together by a stronger government are less united in sentiment than they were eight years ago. Every source of discontent, every permanent cause of taxation, which can be removed, adds to the strength of the union and to the stability of its government.
But, in regard to our strength and conse- quent respectability and independance in re- lation to other nations, as speedy an extinc- tion of the debt, as circumstances will ad- mit, becomes indispensable. As there is not the smallest probability that we ever shall be involved in any war except in self- defence, and as the exhausted situation of all the European nations seems to warrant at the conclusion of the present war a con- tinuance of peace for at least ten or twelve years, we should by all means improve that period to discharge the heaviest part of our debt. It requires no arguments to prove, it is a self-evident truth, that in a political point of view at least, every nation is en- feebled by a public debt. Spain, once the first power of Europe, Spain with her ex- tensive and rich possessions; Holland, not- withstanding her immense commerce, still feel the effects of the debts they began to contract two centuries ago; and their pre- sent political weakness stands as a monument of the unavoidable consequences of that sa- tal system. Yet, what are those instances, when compared with that of France, where the public debt although once discharged by the assistance of a national bankruptcy, has at last overwhelmed government itself. The debt of Great-Britain, which began at a later period than that of any of those three nations, has not yet produced such visible effects. The unexampled prosperity of that country has heretofore been sufficient to sup- port its strength, and to increase its wealth, notwithstanding the weight of that burthen. Yet, the revenue now necessary to discharge the interest annually payable on that debt, and to support the peace establishment of that nation, that is to say, the annual re- venue now raised by taxes in Great-Britain, would, if unencumbered, discharge the year- ly expenses even of the war in which she is now engaged.
The sum necessary to pay the annuity and interest on the debt of the United States,
constitutes more than two thirds of their yearly expenditure; and it is presumable that we would not be much exposed to the wanton attacks, depredations or insults of any nation, was it not known that our re- venue and resources are palsied by an annual defalcation of five millions of dollars. It does not seem that any possible object of expense, without even excepting the cre- ation of a navy, can be so eminently useful, in adding to our external security and res- pectability, as that which, by paying the principal of our debt, will give us the com- mand of an unimpaired revenue, and enable us to dispose, if necessary, of all our re- sources.
A circumstance, which seems to render this still more requisite in America, is the difficulty for the United States of rais- ing monies by loans, except in time of profound peace. It is well known that the great de- mand for capital in America, the usual high market rate for interest, the peculiar cir- cumstances of the country, render it nearly impossible to borrow any large sums at home —and experience has lately proved, that the circumstance of an European war, even though we ourselves were not engaged, was sufficient to prevent us from any farther loan in Europe. Hence it results, that as we cannot in case of any emergency put much reliance on that resource, we should, during our state of peace and prosperity, hasten to disencumber our domestic resources. We have, indeed, severely felt the obliga- tion of repaying, during the present Euro- pean war, the anticipation at home and the instalments of the foreign debt abroad.— We have thereby been compelled to borrow on the most disadvantageous terms, to con- tract the obligation of paying an interest of at least five per cent. for 24 years, and to remit to Europe stock purchased at par, and which will probably sell there under its no- minal value. These considerations, sup- ported, it is believed, by the general opinion of the people of America, forcibly point out the necessity of an immediate recourse to our domestic resources, of an immediate in- crease of revenue.
It has already been shown that our pre- sent receipts are hardly adequate to our pre- sent expenditure; in fact, that we have heretofore made only a nominal provision for paying the principal of any part of our debt. For although (supposing the present receipts to be equal to the present rate of expenditure) it may be said that we have provided for the yearly payment of 2 per cent. on the principal of our 6 per cent. debt bearing a present interest, yet we have not made any provision whatever for the payment of the annuity payable after the year 1800 on the deferred stock. Indeed the interest (exclusively of the additional 2 per cent.) payable on this stock, exceeds the yearly payment of 2 per cent. upon the six per cent. stock; and the fact is, that our present revenue is not even sufficient to pay after the year 1800 the interest on our debt. Our faith is now pledged to pay, from af- ter that year, an annuity of 3 per cent. up- on both stocks; and whatever difference of opinion may exist upon the extinguishment of other parts of the debt, it is necessary to increase our revenue from after that year, by a sum sufficient to discharge that an- nuity, which has already been stated at a- bout 1,100,000 dollars.
This increase will enable the United States to extinguish the whole of the 6 per cent. stock by the year 1818, and the whole of the deferred stock by the year 1824.— No farther provision seems necessary on that part of the debt, which amounts to about forty-two millions of dollars, except the very important one to find the additional re- venue of 1,100,000 dollars.

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1801.
This day arrived the frigates JOHN ADAMS, and GENERAL GREENE, and on their arrival saluted the City.
By the arrival at New-York of the ship Josiah Collins, 42 days from Liverpool, London papers to the 4th of May have been received, from which the following extracts are made.
LONDON, May 4.
Dispatches were yesterday received in town from the Earl of Elgin, at Constantinople, which were last night published in the following
London Gazette Extraordinary.
DOWNING-STREET,
May 3, 1801.
The following copy of a letter from Lieut. General Sir Ralph Abercromby, K. B. to the Earl of Elgin, together with dispatches from his Lordship to his Royal Highness the Duke of York and Lord Hawkesbury, and a letter from col. Anstruther to col. Brownrigg, of which the following are extracts, have been this day received.
Copy of a letter from Sir Ralph Abercromby, to the Earl of Elgin, dated Camp before Alexandria, 16th March, 1801.
MY LORD,
On the 1st inst. the fleet arrived in sight of Alexandria; on the 2d it anchored in Aboukir Bay, the weather did not permit any debarkation before the 8th; on that day it was happily effected, under the most trying circumstances. The boats had nearly a mile to row, and were for some time under the fire of fifteen pieces of artillery, and the musketry of two thousand five hundred men; still the intrepidity of the troops overcame every difficulty. We took eight pieces of cannon.
On the 9th, the remainder of the army was landed. On the 12th we marched forwards to within two leagues of Alexandria, and one league of the enemy, who were advantageously posted on a ridge, with their right to the Canal of Alexandria, and their left to the sea. On the 13th we moved forwards to attack the enemy, and to turn their left. They did not, however, wait, but came down and attacked us. The action was warm; but the enemy were everywhere forced under the walls of Alexandria. Our loss is considerable. Although col. Erskine is wounded, he is doing well—he has lost a leg. His regiment gained great credit, but suffered severely. No officer of rank is killed or dangerously wounded. Excuse this scrawl, written on my knee.
R. ABERCROMBIE.
Extract of a letter from the Earl of Elgin to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, dated Constantinople, April 4, 1801.
As colonel Anstruther's letter to me, which accompanied that to Col. Brownrigg, was written on the 16th of March, I take the liberty of adding to your Royal Highness, that Menou having, with 2000 cavalry, joined the troops at Alexandria, attacked Sir Ralph Abercromby on the 21st. The assault was vigorous; but the enemy were entirely repulsed with great loss, not, however, before Sir Ralph Abercromby, general Moore, general Hope, and Sir Sydney Smith, had been wounded slightly, and Col. Abercrombie had lost a limb. Col. Paget appears to have had a slight wound.
Lord Keith's last letter says all the wounded are surprisingly well; considering they are all by cannon or grape shot. I may add that my Janissary, who left Rhodes on the 27th, mentions, that some of the troops who came there first, or had been left sick, were already so well as to have sailed from thence to join the army.
Nothing could have been more brilliant than our operations appear to have been.
Extract of a letter from Lord Elgin to Lord Hawkesbury, dated Constantinople, April 4, 1801.
I have the happiness of informing your lordship, that I have this moment received an express from Rhodes, dated 27 March, with a series of private accounts, of the successful progress of Sir Ralph Abercromby's army.
It appears that Menou must have set out from Cairo, on the first intelligence of Sir Ralph Abercromby's landing. Meanwhile our army had advanced (under circumstances far too honorable for the British arms, for me to attempt relating on the imperfect details I possess) and had taken post within three miles of Alexandria, where they had prepared against an attack from Menou,
who with two thousand cavalry, having formed a junction with the garrison of Alexandria, came again to our army on the 21st. In this action we have to regret about five hundred men killed and wounded; while the enemy positively lost two thousand men killed and wounded, and five hundred taken prisoners. On the preceding Wednesday, Aboukir castle surrendered, and the British and Turkish flags were flying there.
Extract of a letter from col. Anstruther to col. Brownrigg, dated
Camp, near Alexandria, March 16, 1801.
"The fleet sailed from Marmaxie on the 22d February, and anchored in Aboukir bay on the 2d of March. From that day to the 7th the weather was so boisterous, and the swell so great, that it was impracticable to disembark. This circumstance gave the enemy full leisure to collect troops and artillery, and to make every necessary preparation to oppose us. The whole infantry of the garrison of Alexandria, three hundred cavalry, and fourteen or fifteen pieces of cannon, were placed on a space of little more than two miles, from near the castle of Aboukir to the narrow Isthmus, which forms the boundary of the Lake. Such was the situation in which we found things on the morning of the 8th, when the descent was made. Nothing I believe ever exceeded the boldness and perseverance with which the boats continued to approach the shore, under a shower of bullets, shells and grape. Every discharge was answered by a shout from the seamen, and all seemed totally insensible of danger. The reserve on the right formed as if on the parade, and in a moment carried a height nearly equal to, and very like to that of Camperdown. The left were charged by the cavalry the moment they got out of the boats. However, they drove every thing before them; and in the course of three quarters of an hour the enemy was completely beaten, with the loss of half his artillery. After a delay of two or three hours, in order to disembark ammunition, and a part of gen. Coote's brigade, which had not been landed, the army advanced about four miles, where we remained till the 12th, the landing of provisions and stores being much impeded by the boisterous weather.
On the 12th, we again marched about five miles constantly skirmishing with the advanced guard of the enemy, who had received a reinforcement of two half brigades of infantry, and one regiment of cavalry, from Cairo. We halted for the night about three miles from the enemy's position, which seemed and proved very advantageous.
Next morning, the army moved to attack the right of it, marching by lines from the left; the reserve covering the movement, and moving parallel with the first fire. As the columns advanced into the plain, the enemy attacked the heads of both, with all his cavalry, supported by a considerable body of infantry, and ten or twelve pieces of cannon. This attack was repulsed by the advanced guard (the 90th and 92d) both of which behaved most nobly. The first line then formed two lines to the front of march, the flanks of which were protected by the reserve, and continued to advance in that manner, whilst the second line continuing still in column (excepting the first brigade of it) turned the enemy's right, and forced him to quit his position. The army followed in the order above stated, and Sir Ralph Abercromby had given orders for renewing the attack on the heights close to the town, to which the enemy retreated; but on examining them with attention, it was thought that they were under the guns of the forts, and could not probably be kept if carried; the army took up in the evening the ground which the enemy had quitted.
The force of the enemy opposed to us appeared about 5000 infantry, 600 cavalry, and a large proportion of artillery; the ground being particularly favorable to the two last. The movements altho' under a constant cannonade, were regular and accurate: the general, in this last action, had his horse shot under him.
The position we occupy is good; it cuts off the communication between Alexandria and the Nile, excepting through the Desert: our supplies are conveyed by means of the Lake, with ease and security.
By an arrival at Boston.
LONDON, April 30.
We have the satisfaction and happiness to announce, that, according to private advices received this morning from Paris, the whole of Egypt is in our possession.
This account was brought by major Keir who landed at Dover last night from Calais.
By the overland dispatch which arrived at the East India house, intelligence was received of rear admiral Blankett's having
sailed from Bombay on the 28th December with a part of his squadron and troops from Bombay destined to act in Egypt. The rest of the force was assembled at Trincomalee, under the command of general Baird, and was expected to sail in January. The whole it was hoped, would land at Suez before the end of February.
The arrival of the two Hamburg mails yesterday, must be considered matter for great congratulation, as the intelligence brought to government was highly satisfactory. The circumstances of the courts of Berlin and Copenhagen having determined to re-open the navigation of the three great rivers which empty themselves into the Northern Sea, was very justly considered of such importance, as to be immediately made the subject of a letter from lord Hawkesbury to the Lord Mayor.
Downing street, April 29.
MY LORD,
"I have great satisfaction in informing you, that by letters received this day from lord Carysfort and sir James Crauford, it appears that the courts of Berlin and Copenhagen have determined to re-open the rivers of the north of Germany, and that all vessels whatever will be allowed to navigate those rivers without molestation.
"I beg your lordship will have the goodness to make this intelligence as public as possible in the city.
"I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed) "HAWKESBURY."
"To the right hon. the Lord Mayor."
IMPORTANT TO AMERICA.
Sir William Scott, yesterday brought forward a motion, in the House of Commons, for the better regulation of his majesty's prize courts in the West Indies, &c. which after some considerable conversation in favor of it, and being seconded by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was accepted, and leave given to bring in a bill. Mr. Scott observed, that it was of the highest importance, to the interest and character of Great Britain, that some alteration should take place in the nature of the jurisdictions, and that instead of the numerous courts now existing, there should be but three, one in Jamaica, one in Martinique, and one at Halifax; and that the judges instead of depending on the quantity of business for their profits, should be placed, by liberal salaries, together with the registers and other officers, beyond the reach of corruption. In proof of the iniquitous conduct practised in these islands, it was remarked, that out of 318 cases, not above 35 had been confirmed by the court of appeals in England. Mr. Nichols sugge led the necessity of providing, that no one who had not taken a degree in our courts of civil law, or been admitted to the bar in the English courts, should preside in those courts.
We flatter ourselves that the measures of the Emperor of Russia, will prevent the effusion of blood in the Baltic, and speedily re-establish us in our former situation there, with respect to commerce and Navigation. We regret, however, that it is not yet in our power to announce the removal of the embargo. As we have already stated, this measure being in its nature reciprocal, it was naturally to be expected that they would wait in Russia for news from England on this point.
We believe it is now settled that Lord Whitworth shall go as Ambassador to St. Petersburg, and that Lord St. Helens shall be Plenipotentiary at Paris, in the event of a right understanding between our ministers and the Chief Consul of France respecting the grounds of a negotiation.
Private accounts from Paris state, that the utmost discontent prevailed there at the conduct of Rear Admiral Gantheaume, in consequence of his not having persisted in his attempt to get to Egypt. Upon the Intelligence being received of his having put into Toulon, Bonaparte sent off a Courier immediately, ordering him to put to sea the moment he received these orders. Gantheaume did not obey till some days afterward (the 19th ult.) alleging the bad condition of his ships, and the damage they had sustained in the voyage from Brest; and requested an examination into his conduct.—It was reported at Paris, when the account was brought, that Gantheaume had returned to Toulon, which he did two or three days after his failing, that the Chief Consul had immediately superseded him by the appointment of Admiral Bruix to the command. Sir John Warren had failed from Naples on the 19, the day Gantheaume left Toulon, and was cruising for him off Sardinia.
YARMOUTH, April 26.
Sir Hyde Parker, we can now confidently state, has been recalled from the
command of the Baltic fleet, and Lord Nelson has been appointed to the chief command. His Lordship, we believe, entertained a wish to return to England; and accounts from Copenhagen, received yesterday, state, that he had requested passports from the Court of Denmark for Hamburg, but we presume the new arrangement which has been made will change his Lordship's destination. The St. George, of 98 guns, his Lordship's flag ship, was the only Line of Battle ship remaining off Copenhagen, after the departure of Sir Hyde Parker for the Baltic, which took place on the evening of the 16th. Many circumstances have come to our knowledge respecting the conduct of the Baltic fleet which we deem too delicate to be publicly stated at present.
Particulars of the unnatural death of the Emperor Paul.
ALTONA, April 21.
In consequence of the last arrival of letters from Russia, which are no longer opened, it is asserted that the late Emperor Paul I. died an unnatural death.
The circumstances are variously related, but the following is the account most generally credited.
A few days before his death, Paul I. sent to his Senate two Ukases, desiring them to pass and insert them in the Code of Laws. The object of those Decrees was, to banish the now Empress Dowager and her children to Siberia, with the exception of the Grand Duke Constantine Paulowitch, the Emperor's favourite. Decrees so barbarous and unnatural, revolted the feelings of the Senate to such a degree, that it was resolved unanimously to declare the EMPEROR non compos mentis , to compel him to abdicate the Throne, and to keep him in safe custody in some fortress for the remainder of his life. At the same time it was agreed upon to proclaim his eldest son Alexander I. as his Successor, making him sign previously the Ukases which have since appeared, and exacting a promise that he should govern the Empire according to the spirit of the laws enacted by his Grandmother, Catharine the Great.
PAUL appeared as usual in the Senate, in expectation of finding the ratification of his mandates; but instead of that, the act of Abdication was proposed to him for his signature. Inflamed with rage, he loaded the Senate with execrations, was going to attack some of the Members with savage ferocity, when he was forcibly restrained and suffocated in the scuffle. Some reports say, that one of the Senators, during the struggle, came behind, and strangled him with a cord.
ALEXANDER, the new Emperor, was immediately called, and acquainted with the cause of his father's death, and his cruel decrees against himself, mother and family. After some hesitation, ALEXANDER signed the instruments and writings laid before him, and was proclaimed—Emperor of all the Russias.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Europe, to his friend in this place, dated April 23.
"You will have heard, before this letter reaches you, of the death of the emperor Paul. The sentiments which this event excited at first, were those of joy and gladness. Europe rejoiced to see his days numbered, who had acquired so powerful an influence in its affairs; perhaps the death of no individual was ever so little lamented, as that of this man; people began to be reconciled to apoplexies. But when the real manner of his death was known, and its bloody details, his character, and his vices were forgotten, and every feeling heart, and virtuous mind, were moved by the turpitude and atrocity of the deed. It seems the first project of the conspirators was to force him to sign an act of abdication, and to confine him in some fortress for life; to this his sons, Alexander, the present emperor, and Constantine, were privy. The number of his assassins was about ten; the principal officers of his guard were gaized, and all the sentinels, except the one placed at the door of the apartment where he slept, and who was likewise murdered. After some hesitation he signed the act of abdication; the conspirators then retired and held a consultation; after which ( Subofi ) the principal, returned to the chamber of the emperor; who seeing him alone, flew upon him, and endeavored to disarm him, the noise of this scuffle drew the rest into the room, and then the bloody scene began, which is said to have lasted one hour and a quarter. I shall send you further particulars of this event in my next."

COPENHAGEN, April 21. The Russian Ambassador here, M. Li- shewitch, yesterday received a courier from his Court, with directions to declare to Admiral Parker, that it was the wish of the Emperor to accommodate the differences between Russia and England. A swift sailing cutter was immediately sent off to Admiral Parker in the Baltic, as the Russian fleet, having failed, might meet with the English. Other instructions had likewise been sent off to the Russian fleet.
A gentleman at Barcelona writes under date of April 18th, "That fifteen American vessels, then lying in that port, were arming with intention to sail together for mutual support against the Barbary corsairs."
BOSTON, June 15. In corroboration of the article of news, under London head, respecting Egypt; a letter received here from Liverpool, by the Washington, of date of May 2, observes, "that official accounts of the entire defeat of the French in Egypt, have been received in London. This letter also mentions the decline in prices of all kinds of grain and provisions."
The London paper of the 30th April, from which we have copied the principal articles of foreign news in this day's Gazette, contains several statements of the death of the late Emperor of Russia; they all agree in opinion, that he died an unnatural death; but differ as to the manner in which he came to it. The Altona account appears to us the most probable.
NEW-YORK, June 26. Capt. Dickinson, of the British Schooner Maria, who arrived here yesterday in 18 days from Baffaterre, informs us, that the English have so closely blockaded Guadaloupe, that no vessels can either enter or come out of that place.
Lexington, May 26. "A gentleman who arrived here on Saturday last, informs us that in March last the Shawanee and Delaware Indians, who have been at variance with the Hufaw nation, had an engagement, and the two former destroyed several towns belonging to the enemy; that they returned to the mouth of the Missouri with 68 scalps and a number of horses; and that the small-pox had been introduced into the Hufaw nation, and upwards 1000 of them had died."
CHARLESTON May 28. We are happy in being able to announce to the public, that Mr. William Buford, an enterprising citizen, who lives on the banks of Broad River, near Pinckney Court-House, which is more than ninety miles above Granby, arrived in this city, through the Santee Canal, on Tuesday the 20th inst. with his own boat, built on his own land, and loaded with his own crop, after having safely passed over all the falls and shoals that are between his plantation and Charleston.
This is the first enterprize of the kind that has taken place at so great a distance from the coast; and from its success, it will be a most pleasing anticipation of the advantages which are likely to result from the easy intercourse that will now be carried on between Charleston and the interior country, by means of the Santee Canal.
When the obstructions of the navigation of the Broad and Catawba rivers, (which are far from being as numerous as have been represented) shall be removed, the superabounding productions of the upper country will flow into Charleston in such full tides, and with so much expedition and so little expense, as will lower our markets, and at the same time fill the pockets of our remote fellow-citizens. And what will be equally agreeable the gentlemen who have persevered so successfully, and at such great expense, to complete the canal, will possess a property, which, while it contributes to the welfare of the state, will yield them an income that will amply repay all that they have expended in an undertaking which is unequalled in the new world!

Singular and ingenious Mechanism. The most remarkable clocks probably ever constructed, were those made by English artists, and which were intended as a present from the East India company to the Emperor of China. These clocks were in the form of chariots, in which is placed in fine attitude, a lady leaning her right hand upon part of the chariot, under which is a clock of curious workmanship, little larger than a shilling, that strikes and repeats and goes eight days. Upon her finger sits a bird finely modelled, set with diamonds and rubies and its wings expanded in a flying posture, and actually flutters a considerable time on touching a diamond below it; the body of the bird (which contains part of the wheels that in a manner give rise to it) is not the bigness of the 16th part of an inch. The lady holds in her left hand a gold tube not much thicker than a large pin, on the top of which is a small round box, to which a circular ornament, set with diamonds not larger than a sixpence is affixed, which goes round near three hours in a constant regular motion. Over the lady's head, supported by a small fluted pillar, no larger than a quill, is a double umbrella, under the largest of which a bell is fixed, at a considerable distance from the clock, and seems to have no connection with it, but which from a communication secretly conveyed to a hammer, that regularly strikes the hour and repeats the same at pleasure, by touching a diamond button fixed to the clock below. At the feet of the lady is a gold dog, before which, from the point of the chariot, are two birds fixed on spiral springs—the wings and feathers of which are set with stones of various colours, and appear as if flying away with the chariot which from another secret motion, is contrived to run a straight, circular, or any other direction: a boy that lays hold of the chariot behind, seems also to push it forward. Above the umbrella are flowers and ornaments of precious stones; and terminates with a flying dragon, set in the same manner. The whole is gold, most curiously wrought, and embellished with rubies and pearls. Lond. pap.

NAVY DEPARTMENT, JUNE 7th, 1800. Regulations for ascertaining and fixing the Pensioners, and payment of pensions on the Navy establishment of the United States.
Obtain a pension the party must produce to the Secretary of the Navy a certificate from the commander of the ship or vessel on board of which he sustained the injury, which incapacitates him; or in the case of a marine, from the commanding officer of the marine corps, or commander of a detachment as the case may require; in the latter case however, if the injury happened on board a vessel of war, the certificate of the surgeon will also be required, if on shore, that of some respectable medical character of the place, that the same was received while he was acting in the line of his duty, specifying the nature and amount of the disability, the capacity or station in which he was, and the monthly pay to which he was entitled at the time of sustaining the injury. On such certificate being produced, and it being ascertained to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Navy, that the disability still exists and is likely to continue, he will at once direct the applicant to be placed on the books of the Loan Office of the state in which he resides, and the loan officer will make the payments half yearly, viz. On the 1st of January, and 1st of July, to the party in person or his legal attorney during his life or the continuance of his disability. But if the pension is to be paid on a power of attorney, the loan officer must have it ascertained by the certificate of a Justice of the peace of the county where the pensioner resides, that he was living, and that his disability continued, in the month next preceding that in which payment is to be made every year, and must transmit the same to the Accountant of the Navy with the necessary receipts as vouchers for his payments.
