Regulations for ascertaining and fixing the Pensions, and payment of pensions on the Navy establishment of the United States.
To 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 acted, 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.
Each person to be placed on the pension list, must receive at the Navy Office a certificate in the following form.
A. B. Seaman, &c. having been disabled in the service of the United States, on board of the ship of war _____ while acting in the line of his duty, is entitled to receive _____ dollars per month, from the loan officer of the state of _____ payable half yearly, on the 1st of January and 1st of July in every year during his life or continuance of such disability, to commence from the _____ day of _____
The same will be paid to him in person or on his legal power of attorney. But no money will be paid on a power of attorney, unless the said A. B. shall tend to the loan officer of said state, the certificate of a Justice of peace of the county wherein he resides, that he the said A. B. appeared before the said justice in the month preceding that in which the payment is to be made and that his disability still continued.
Signed

EXTRACT from GALLATIN'S Sketch of Finances of the United States written in 1796. (Continued.)
INDEPENDENT of any additional revenue to be raised by taxes, the lands of the United States will afford another resource. Those now at the disposal of Congress, do not amount to ten millions of acres; but the quantity might be enlarged without any difficulty, was there any real demand for more. Lands are so much more valuable to us than to the Indians, that whenever they are actually wanted, we may afford to pay for them a much higher price than they ever do ask. The actual demand which must regulate the price that may be obtained by Congress for the lands belonging to the public, is determined itself by the increase of population, and by the direction of emigrations. Lands of good quality, and in actual demand for settlers, will fetch about four dollars per acre, payable in about five years by installments. If sold upon shorter terms of credit, or in large tracts, the persons who settle the lands, and can afford to give the highest price, are generally excluded from the competition, and the lands will only bring such a price as will leave to the purchaser, (who is to sell again to settlers) the usual profit upon capital employed in similar speculations. Should the lands be sold, before there is an actual demand by settlers, they will bring a price proportionably less, as the prospect of settlement may be farther distant. Congress have directed their lands to be sold, partly in small and partly in large tracts; one half of the purchase money to be paid at the time of sale, and the other half within one year after; no lands to be sold under two dollars per acre. The credit is so short that the class of people, who usually begin settlements, will be nearly altogether excluded. The provision which fixes the price at two dollars at least, will exclude to a certain degree the speculators. And the sales will probably fall short of the actual yearly demand for settlers, and be confined to the very best tracts.
About ten thousand families migrate every year to the westward of the Allegheny mountains. Although all of them cannot purchase lands, all of them increase the demand for land, as they enable those who can purchase, to cultivate more and therefore to purchase more. Of those ten thousand families, three fourths at least will be fixed in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and Pennsylvania, and in those parts of the North West Territory already ceded by the United States and by Virginia. The yearly migration to the lands of the United States will be probably about 2600 families: the yearly actual demand for lands may vary from 500,000 to one million of acres. Although various circumstances render it impossible to form any tolerably correct conjecture on the amount of sales, it is not probable that, on the plan which has been adopted, they will upon an average exceed 250,000 acres, yielding a revenue of five hundred thousand dollars. The first year, on account of the great demand for the valuable low lands on the Ohio and other rivers, will perhaps be more productive than the succeeding ones.
The lands may be applied in two ways to the payment of the debt, either indirectly or immediately: indirectly, by selling the lands for the best price that can be obtained and applying the monies to the redemption of the debt: immediately, by inducing the holders of some species of debt to exchange it for lands, by making the price of lands payable in certificates of the debt of that species. By the first mode, it is probable that a higher price will be obtained for the lands, as they will only be sold from time to time as they rise in value, and as some advantages must be given to the holders of the debt to induce them to make the exchange. But, on the other hand, the second mode will secure a proper application of the proceeds of the land; the land itself will pay the debt without coming into the Treasury in the shape of money, which, upon the first emergency might be applied to some other purposes. Another peculiar advantage would arise, if the land was immediately applied to the extinguishment of the
debt bearing an interest of three per cent. Was a redemption of this debt to be attempted by purchases, it would necessarily raise its price beyond its usual market price, and beyond what it is supposed to be really worth. It would therefore require a much larger sum for its redemption. Supposing that stock to be worth sixty per cent. upon its nominal value, when six per cent. stock is at par, the 19,300,000 dollars now existing, are worth only something more than eleven million and a half of dollars. But although the lands should bring that money, it would undoubtedly require a greater sum to purchase the whole of the stock. A variety of plans might be formed for a commutation of that stock into lands. The following sketch is offered, merely to show in what manner the operation might be effected.
Let the lands, after they shall have been surveyed, be divided into ten large lots of 960,000 acres each, as equal in quality and value as the nature of the case will admit; and each of the said large lots be sub-divided into townships, and these into tracts of 640 acres. Let then a subscription be opened for the sale of the large lots successively, beginning with the most valuable; each purchaser to subscribe for at least a tract of 640 acres; the price of the subscription to be two dollars per acre, with interest at the rate of three per cent. a year from the time of the sale, payable in any species of stock of the United States at its nominal value; with liberty to the purchaser to discharge the debt in specie at the rate of one dollar and a half per acre; one tenth part of the purchase money to be paid at the time of the subscription, and the remaining part in nine yearly installments, or sooner, at the option of the purchaser: possession of the land to be given immediately, but the land to remain mortgaged in security for the purchase money. As soon as the subscription to one of the large lots is filled, the subscribers draw lots for their respective shares, under such modifications as will secure, to subscribers for one township, or quarter of a township, the whole in one tract.
The most weighty objection against this plan is, perhaps, the lottery and speculation to which it will give rise; yet it will be found difficult to devise any plan for the sale of lands, and for the redemption of the public debt, which will not, in some degree be liable to the same objection. The number of acres, price, interest, time of payment, &c. in the above, have been inserted merely for the sake of conveying clearer ideas, but they should be considered as blanks that can be filled only upon an investigation of all the details of the subject.
The advantages for the public, supposing the whole of the subscription to be filled, would be the certainty of the redemption of the whole debt bearing an interest of three per cent. and an immediate liberation of the annuity of 580,000 dollars necessary to pay the interest thereon, since the interest payable for the land would always be equal to the interest payable on the three per cent. stock in circulation. This sum might, therefore, be applied in part of the additional revenue of 800,000 dollars wanted to extinguish the debt of sixteen millions; I say of the 800,000 dollars; for it could not be applied in part of the 1,100,000 dollars necessary to pay the annuity on the deferred stock; the faith of the Union being pledged to discharge that annuity out of the revenues of the Union, and to apply, in addition to it, the proceeds of the public lands, towards the extinguishment of the public debt. Thus, if that subscription was to be filled, the lands would in twelve years extinguish both the debt bearing three per cent. interest, and a great part of the abovementioned sixteen millions of dollars; it being necessary to add, (for that purpose, and exclusively of the 1,100,000 dollars, requisite to pay the annuity on the deferred stock) only a yearly revenue of 220,000 dollars for those twelve years. Those advantages would more than counterbalance to the public the advantages offered to the subscribers by the low rate of the lands.
The advantages to subscribers would be obvious. The average price of lands equal in situation and quality, but either settled, or capable of being immediately settled, is now four dollars per acre. In all proba-

bility ten years, and at farthest fifteen, will settle the whole of the ten millions of acres offered for sale, or at least will raise the whole of it to what may be called the settlement price, an average of four dollars per acre. A part might now be sold above that price; a great proportion of the lands will attain it within a shorter period than ten years; the most remote situation will be worth it at the expiration of that time. And this must take place according to the natural course of events, by the natural increase of population, without giving any farther trouble of management to the purchasers, than that of selling the lands again to actual settlers. Those amongst the purchasers, who will become settlers, will at first pay to the land as soon as they improve it; and at the price they give, will be enabled to pay three fourths of the purchase money out of the proceeds of the land itself. The land may therefore be considered as being, upon an average, worth four dollars per acre, within eight years after the time of purchase; which, discounted at the rate of six per cent. compound interest, is equal to about two dollars and a half at the time of purchase. For this the subscribers will give at most one dollar and a half, bearing, in fact, only four per cent. interest, payable in nine years, and not worth much more than one dollar and a quarter at the time of purchase.
Although the success of a plan, something similar to this, may not be complete, yet so far as it will succeed, so far the extinguishment of the debt, bearing an interest of three per cent. will be promoted, and so far the amount of the additional revenue, necessary for the payment of the annuity on the deferred stock, and for the extinguishment of the above mentioned debts of fifteen millions of dollars, may be diminished. The sources from which that additional revenue, whatever its amount may be, can be derived, remain to be examined; still collecting, that at least 1,100,000 dollars must necessarily be raised, and that the ability of the United States to raise the highest required sum, viz. 1,900,000 dollars, cannot be denied.
This revenue may be raised either by indirect or direct taxes. A difficulty, inherent in the constitution, will always render a recurrence to direct taxation the last resort of the general government. For, it being provided that such taxes shall be apportioned among the several states, according to their respective population, those states, who have a less extent of territory in proportion to their numbers, will think themselves aggrieved by a species of tax which must reach their lands, not in the ratio of their value, but in that of the whole number of inhabitants.
Labour being the only source of wealth, the annual quantity and produce of labour was the best general rule which could be established for fixing the respective ability of paying taxes in the several states. Nor does it appear that any better criterion could have been adopted, in order to ascertain that annual produce of labour, than the number of inhabitants, making the same allowance with the constitution, by estimating the net produce of the labour of five slaves, (after deducting that part necessary for their subsistence) equal to the net produce of the labour of three freemen. Yet that general rule, like all others, is liable to some exceptions. The labour of the same number of men may, according to the differences in the nature of their employment, in their skill and industry, in the government under which they live, in the quantity of active capital existing in the country, and in several other circumstances, vary in different countries. The labour of the inhabitants of Great-Britain is certainly far more productive than the labour of the inhabitants of Poland, who are at least equal in number. It does not, however, appear that the differences existing in the respective circumstances of the several states are so great as to render the operation of the rule more unequal, than the operation of most indirect taxes. Their government is similar, and the most sensible difference is, that the southern states have a larger capital in land, and the northern states have both more industry and a larger circulating capital. Hence it results that a tax merely on lands, might perhaps bear more heavily on the land-holders of the North, than on those of the South — not but that a tract of land, without reference to its size, is usually equally productive in both places, when cultivated by an equal number of persons; but because there is a less proportion of the inhabitants employed in the cultivation of land to the North than to the South. The operation of a tax, merely on land, might therefore be unequal on that description of persons in the several states, but not on the states themselves. A direct tax upon the whole property, although perhaps liable to still greater objections, would not, in that point
of view, be unequal either on the states or on any particular description of people. And it is worthy of remark, that whatever inequality may result from the operation of direct taxes, proceeds from the difference in the nature of the capital, and in the application of the labour, in the different states; as great a one, but operating in the very reverse, must result from indirect taxes on consumable commodities imported into the Union. For, if taxes on land, laid according to the rule prescribed by the constitution, bear more heavily in some one quarter, because the proportion of persons, employed in the cultivation of lands, is less there than in other parts of the Union; on the other hand, the proportion of persons employed in manufactures in the same place, must be greater.
To the Editor of the National Intelligencer.
It was, with much pleasure, that I noticed in one of your late papers, in the address delivered by the Secretary at War to the Cherokees, assurances given by the Secretary that the President would, if desired by them, have them furnished with the instruments and instruction necessary to aid their progress in agriculture and manufactures.
Such an offer appears to me to be an evidence of the correctness of the ideas entertained on this subject, by the President. For in my mind there exists not a doubt of the ability of the whites to effect the civilization of the Indians; the means of accomplishing this object can be none other than the making them acquainted with personal and social comforts and pleasures which flow from civilization. To produce this effect, it is not sufficient merely to describe, with whatever truth or eloquence, such comforts and pleasures. It is necessary to place them before them, to shew them by daily observation among themselves, without the necessity of leaving their own country, how much happier those who possess them are than those who want them.
Perhaps no better mode could be adopted to insure this effect that establishing by treaty, in the midst of each nation, a certain number of white farmers and mechanics, who should be aided in their first settlement by the United States, and whose interest it should be, by the prospect of permanent residence, to render themselves agreeable to the Indians, and to improve their farms or their manufactures to the greatest extent in their power. The example of industry thus occupied would impress more forcibly than volumes of advice.
We ought not to forget that the Indians are either naturally distrustful of the whites, or rendered so by the ill-usage which they consider themselves as having experienced. This distrust makes them averse from believing a great deal that they hear. They suppose that the instruction which the whites offer them is connected with some insidious design to deprive them of their property. Hence, when men are sent among them expressly to instruct them, they too often lend only an involuntary attention, and soon forget or despise what they have heard.
Their belief can only be founded on the demonstration of the senses; and of all the senses sight perhaps affords us the most extensive information that we feel disposed to rely on.
It is not, in the most remote degree, intended by these remarks, to censure those measures which have heretofore been taken by our government, to add to the comforts of the Indians, or to keep them in a state of peace. They are probably all of them, in some measure, proper. But it is presumed that they by no means cover the whole ground, and that other measures may be taken in perfect co-operation with those which are now in a state of trial.
So long as it remains the policy of the United States to treat the Aborigines with respect; to view them as a race of men possessed of great and masculine virtues which ought to be fostered, however their habits may differ from our own; to consider them as placed peculiarly under our protection, and therefore entitled of right to claim it; so long, I trust, our country will persevere in that system which has heretofore characterized it alone. For unfortunately, America is the only nation, which in its intercourse with savage nations, has treated the savages as men entitled, like other men, to humanity and justice.
These ideas are thus cursorily suggested, not as the result of systematic reflection, but with a view of attracting the attention of the people, and the government to a subject intimately connected with national character.
The writer of these remarks believes that the Indians may be civilized; and that their civilization may be advanced and rendered
more subservient to their happiness, by means within the power of the United States to apply.
But should this not be granted, yet, it is presumed, no one will dispute the claim, which the Indian nations have, to be treated in such a manner as shall administer to their happiness. All the land we own, was once theirs; we have obtained it from them by what we call treaties. But how were those treaties formed? In many cases, in almost all the early cases, at the point of the bayonet. In other words, we have deprived them by force of their lands, in the possession of which they consider all their happiness as depending.
Such being the condition of the natives, have they not a moral claim upon us for such benefits as we are able to confer upon them without materially injuring ourselves? It is certainly true that the United States cannot give them back lands of which they have been unjustly dispossessed, as they have neither the right or the power. But they have the right, and they possess full power, to contribute to their wants, to treat them with invariable kindness, to soften their resentments, to render them pacific, and gradually by acts of friendship to withdraw them from their existing state of barbarism.
It is to be regretted that the powers of the President, in the use of money for this purpose, are so limited as they appear to be. The whole amount of appropriations for the Indians does not exceed 70,000 dollars for the present year. It is respectfully suggested to the legislative body, whether the true interests of the country would not recommend a much greater appropriation; and whether a closer and more extensive and habitual dependence of the natives upon the whites would not constitute the greatest, and perhaps, the only effectual barrier against war; thereby, independently of the important consideration of the loss of lives, producing a saving of millions, which in the case of war would be expended.

By captain M c Alister of the ship Fanny, from Calcutta, we learn, that major-general Baird, with an army of 15000 Native and European troops, sailed from Trincomalee in the island of Ceylon, on the 1st of February last, for Suez, in order to co-operate with Sir R. Abercrombie in expelling the French from Egypt. Col. Wellesley is second in command; and it was the general opinion at Calcutta, that they were the best appointed body of troops ever seen in India. They expected to reach the place of destination in two months.
Just as our paper was going to press we received the following from a very respectable merchant, whose sources of information are always correct, and whose promptness in communicating information entitles him to our thanks.
TO THE MERCHANTS OF THE UNITED STATES.
The merchants of the United States trading to the island of Cuba, are hereby informed, that in consequence of late orders from the court of Spain the Governor of Havanna has ordered all the ports of the Island to be shut against foreign vessels, although neutral: which order was enforced by the Governor of the port of Trinidad, on the 5th of June ult. in the case of the schr. Widowson, Capt. Mathews, of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, July 7.
The British May Packet, Princess Amelia, captain Stevenon, arrived at New-York on Saturday, in 50 days from Falmouth. The April packet had been captured by the French; recaptured, & had arrived at Plymouth.
The packet brings London papers to the 11th May. The captain informs, that all kinds of provisions had fallen. Flour, (superfine American) was selling at Falmouth, at 56s. per bbl.
New-York, July 6.
The duties arising from goods imported into this port during the month of April, amounts to the immense sum of seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars — and we are warranted in saying, that the duties for the month of May, will amount to a still greater sum!
The above sum is upwards of 200,000 dollars more than the amount of duties for any former month.
On Friday last arrived at New-York, the Sarah, M c Claren, from Bourdeaux, with papers to the 13th of May. An article under the Toulon head of April 22d states, that the English were totally defeated in Egypt, in different actions, which took place on the 26th and 27th of Germinal, (15th and 16th April.) — This news arrived by a vessel which was sent express from Alexandria, the 28th Germinal, for Toulon, and which on her passage was taken by an English cruiser and carried into Mahon.
The English, they say, are in the utmost consternation; their fleets in the Mediterranean being in want of every thing, and the ship's crews in a very sickly state. All the ports in Italy being shut against them, they will shortly be forced to leave those seas, in order to re-victual, and to avoid perishing by epidemic.
Mr. Locke, late British consul at Naples, who was at Paris on the 24th of April, was informed that when the First Consul received the intelligence of the defeat of the French forces in Egypt, he was seemingly much affected, and at last exclaimed, — There is nothing now left for us but a grand descent upon England!

INVASION, &c.
Extract of a letter from Jersey, dated April 27, 1801.
We have rejoiced in the late successes of Great Britain, but we are apprehensive that the disasters of the French Republic, both with regard to the apparent defection of her allies, and the perilous situation of her countrymen in Egypt, will render Bonaparte so desperate as to adventure some dangerous attempt against the interests of Great Britain. Having vanquished his enemies on the continent he must turn the whole force of mind and body of the Republic against England. All measures which do not tend to the immediate gratification of his inordinate ambition are unworthy of his notice: because delay after such a career of victory and success would endanger his power. He is actuated by great and noble daring; and is burthened by an immense military force, which must be actively employed abroad in order to secure his possession of power at home. With the truth of these reflections operating on our senses, it is no wonder that we are now kept constantly on the alert.
Every information from France more and more confirms the hostile resolution of the enemy against these islands. Government being at a very considerable expence, we have the very best intelligence from those employed on the coast of France. By a gentleman just arrived, we learn, that gen. Humbert, who commanded the expedition to Ireland, is now at St. Maloes, where he has resided more than a month, to make, by order of the first Consul, the necessary arrangements for another expedition; but whether against England or Ireland, we have not yet been able to ascertain. Troops were hourly expected at St. Maloes from Reunes. Several frigates, some of which lately slipped out of Brest, were at St. Maloes, at which place there also 75 gun boats, and such variety of flat-bottomed boats as were capable of accommodating nearly 20,000 men, with field artillery, &c. &c. for a descent. Recollecting the late observations of Bonaparte, that he would, when necessitated, look upon these islands as stepping-stones to England, we begin, I assure you, to consider seriously of our unfortunate approximation to France. Since the last reconnoitre, we learn, that the troops expected have arrived at St. Maloes; that the enemy's strength had consequently very much increased; and that, knowing the immediate object was a descent on these islands, our apprehensions, but not our fears, have also multiplied with our critical emergencies.
Extract of a letter from Guernsey, dated April 28.
I have seen an English captain that lately left Brest in a cartel, who assures me that by information which he can depend upon, there are three great armies along the enemy's coast, amounting in all to 150,000 men; that these will be augmented to at least 100,000 more; and that their grand object was the invasion of England and Ireland by attempting at all hazards, descents in a variety of places, so as to ensure the effect of some. This mode of attack the captain remarked would divert, if not distract, the vigilance of our fleets and cruizers; and the enemy flattered itself, that the landing and co-operation of 100,000 men would soon force their way to the capital. Arrangements were making at Brest on the 20th ult. for the accommodation of 50,000 men on their march thither, where the first Consul was daily expected to review them, previous to some grand expedition. Till embarkation, they will be encamped in the neighbourhood. At Havre, 20,000 men are to be stationed, 40,000 more at St. Maloes; and 20,000 at Granville—making in this quarter, in toto, 130,000 men. Should the news from Egypt be detrimental to the interest of France, Buonaparte will be obliged to make some extraordinary exertions to appease the people and confirm his supreme authority.
LONDON, May 6.
A letter from Wesel, April 25, says—The Prussian troops have taken possession of Bremerlehe, as well as of all the ports of the Electorate of Hanover which are situated in the North Sea. The mouths of the Elbe, the Weser, and the Ems, are shut. Besides that small Russian garrisons are posted at equal distances on the coast.
Several regiments of cavalry and infantry are already arrived from the interior of Prussia in Hanover, and we expect more troops. The fort of Hameln, which is considered as the Key of the Electorate of Hanover, has at present a numerous Prussian garrison. On the other side, we continue to form magazines of provisions at Minden and Ham, for the troops who arrive daily from Brandenburg and Silesia, as well as for those expected from Pomerania.
May 22.
The Citoyen Francois of the 13th inst. has inserted a letter, dated Havre, the 6th, which states, that "letters from Toulon announce, that the squadron commanded by Admiral Gantheaume, sailed on the 5th Floreal (April 25) with 4000 troops for Egypt."
Gantheaume certainly sailed from Toulon for Egypt on the 25th ult. but as Lord Keith has been reinforced to 15 ships of the line, by the junction of Sir John Borlase Warren's squadron, there is little fear of the enemy, whose force consists scarcely of half that number, being able to reach their destined port.
By yesterday Hamburg mail, we are informed, that the Danes still keep possession of that city, though they no longer insist on the 6500 mark per diem. Private letters say, that Denmark demands that the Prussian troops shall evacuate Hanover the same time that she withdraws from Hamburg.
The dispatches yesterday from Lord Elgin state, that in consequence of Lord Keith's having informed the Grand Vizier of the victory gained by the English, his Excellency began his march towards Cairo on the 29th of March, with fifteen thousand men.
Extract of a letter from an officer of rank in sir Ralph Abercromby's army, dated Camp, near Alexandria, March 17, 1801.
The lake of Aboukir or Maadia, is navigable in all its length; it has been formed within these few years by an irruption of the sea; at present it is covered with boats of provisions, stores ammunition, every thing in short that we want and which could not have well been conveyed by any other means.
The enemy seems undecided in his motions and I am in hopes may separate his force so much as to offer no where a solid resistance. The Vizier moved from Jaffa on the 23d of February and we hear that his advanced guard of mamelukes has advanced to Sable. Menou, we just learn, reached Damanihour last night, with about 1500 horse; but we are certain that even if his whole was assembled, we out number him and I assure you our people now feel as they used to do and have the utmost contempt for the French, especially for their cavalry. In this all here are unanimous—regiments of all kinds collected from all places have met in one body, they have moved and formed with a regularity and order, of which no other infantry in Europe is capable, following one system, speaking one military language, not the slightest mistake, not the smallest confusion has occurred—and the whole army of Egypt will bear testimony of the truth of what I say.
We have still a hard job or two before we can open trenches—once within good bombarding distance, I think Alexandria will not hold long.
A British convoy, consisting of a transport ship with troops, twenty merchant vessels, and eight Portuguese ships, sailed from Gibraltar on the 26th of March, under the protection of a frigate and a brig, British ships of war, with a Portuguese corvette. They held their course eastward.
Advice is received that rear admiral Totty has joined sir Hyde Parker's squadron with five sail of the line.
VIENNA, May 6.
It is this day reported, that another courier had arrived at Lord Minto's from Constantinople, with intelligence that the French army in Egypt had capitulated, and would be conveyed to Frejus, in France, without arms, on board English ships. In how far this report is true, is not known, as our private letters from Constantinople take no notice of that event.
PARIS, May 1.
A letter from Rome, dated April 15, says, "The French have marched 15,000 men into that part of the Kingdom of Naples, which borders on the Gulph of Taranto, as agreed in a particular article of the treaty of peace; the French troops have consequently received orders to eva-
cuate Terni, Rieti, Spoleto, and to enter the Kingdom of Naples towards Alcoli."
SEMLIN, April 8.
The report that the fort of Kladowda, a short distance from Widdin, had been taken by the Kirofale of the Pacha of Belgrade, is now confirmed. These troops, after having burned the suburbs, penetrated during the night into the fort, the inhabitants of which opened its gates to them; when they massacred the garrison of Passawan Ogloy.
LOWER ELBE, May 1.
Yesterday, in a conference held at the Danish head-quarters near Hamburg, between his Highness, Field-Marshal Prince Charles of Hesse, the Prussian Envoy, M. Schultz, and his Excellency Sir Jas. Crawford, the British minister, an agreement was entered into—that the Elbe shall be again open to all flags without exception; but the English ships from Altona and Gluckstadt, and the vessels from the Danish harbours on the Elbe, laden with corn and provisions from Norway, are to be provided with English passes.
MUNICH April 19.
Letter from general MOREAU, to the Archduke CHARLES.
Salzburg, March 25.
I have the honor to announce to your highness, that, agreeably to the treaty of Luneville, I have received orders to evacuate the hereditary estates of Austria on the 5th of April, and the Emperor between the 5th and 10th of May. I also learn, that, by the 19th article of that treaty, the troops of his majesty the Emperor are, by the 5th of April, to return into his hereditary dominions. At my departure, therefore, I shall resign the protection of the different states to the troops of the princes to whom they belong, or to the militia of the inhabitants. Concerning the more particular arrangements for the movements of these troops, I shall expect your royal highness's answer at Munich.
I am much surprised that I have not received news of the restoration of your health. It is what, from the regard I have long had for your highness, I most sincerely desire.
(Signed) MOREAU.
THE ARCHDUKE'S ANSWER.
Vienna, March 28.
General,
I have received your letter announcing the evacuation of the hereditary dominions of Austria by the French troops, and other dispositions relative to that event. I shall, in consequence, give the necessary orders to the Austrian troops. As to the contingents of the Empire in the Upper Palatinate, I shall inform the Swabian troops of your arrangements that they may, in concert with you, so regulate their march, as not to arrive at the different stations till you shall have quitted them. In regard to the other troops of the Empire—their general, the prince of Reuss, will, in like manner, concert measures with the French army in Franconia. I shall appoint troops to enter after yours into Braunau, Kuffstein and Scharnitz, and to take possession of them agreeably to the convention of Steyer. I much regret, General, that circumstances oblige you to leave this country before I can have it in my power to see and become personally acquainted with you, which I have long desired, that I might assure you of my sincere and particular regard for you.
(Signed) CHARLES.
TURIN, April 9.
In consequence of a decree of the consuls of the French Republic, dated April 1, Piedmont will now form a military division, which will be divided into six subdivisions, and these will form as many prefectures. These prefectures will be under the inspection of an Administrator General, who will have nearly the same authority in Piedmont, as was possessed by the Commissary of government formerly established at Mentz, for the United Departments. The organization of the civil judiciary order will be regulated according to the mode prescribed by the law of the 17th of March 1800. The criminal court of justice will be confined to special tribunals and extraordinary military commissions.
The police will be conducted according to the methods established by the law of the 17th of March 1800, and that of the 26th January 1801. A division of the army will also be stationed in Piedmont. The financial regulations are only of a temporary nature, and the tale of the national domains has been suspended.
Thomas K. Beale, and Wife, William King, & William Hammond,
In Chancery, June 9, 1801.
THE object of this bill is to foreclose or have a sale on sundry mortgages executed by the defendants. The bill states that to secure the payment of the sum of three thousand two hundred pounds, the said William King and William Hammond, duly made, executed and acknowledged their several deeds of mortgage to a certain Joseph Clark deceased, of the following tracts or parcels of land, viz. Champeon Forrest, Addition to Champeon Forrest, Hammonds Search, Support, Chance, Portland Lapland, Remnant, and the Support; and that the said Joseph Clark devised all his estate real and personal to his wife, who after the death of the said Joseph Clark intermarried with the said Thomas K. Beale, and that the said William King now resides out of this state. It is therefore on motion of the complainants adjudged and ordered that the complainants cause a copy of this order to be inserted in some newspaper of the district of Columbia, in which the said King is said to reside, at least in one of each of three successive weeks before the 12th day of July next, to the intent that the said absentee William King, or any other person that may conceive himself interested, may have notice of the complainants' application and of the substance and object of their bill, and may be warned to appear either in person or by a solicitor in this court, on or before the third Tuesday in November next to show cause, if any there be, why a decree should not pass agreeably to the prayer of the complainant.

The salute of the morning was fired for the first time for several years, from Republican artillery, with Federal gunpowder. The militia legion paraded according to order in Third Street, and having passed the commander in Chief in military order, proceeded up market to South Ninth, where the accustomed salutes were fired by the artillery, and followed by a feu de joie from the Infantry.
The Legion, Horse, Foot, and Artillery assembled more numerously than on any former occasion; and several new companies joined for the first time. After the salutes were concluded, the several corps marched to their respective quarters, to enjoy.
"Soner, sentiment, and dance" and the night closed, as the morning had commenced without a single instance of disorder or disturbance on the part of the Republicans.
