OFFICIAL.
Copy of a letter to the Minister of the United States at Madrid, from the acting Minister of State of his Catholic Majesty.
Sir, BY order of the King, my master, I transmit to you for the information of your court, a copy of the answer of this government to the strange manifesto of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia...
I offer myself, on this account, to your disposal, &c. MARIANO LUIS DE URQUIJO. Mr. David Humphreys. St. Ildefonso, 9th Sept. 1799. &c.
SPANISH DECLARATION.
The religious scrupulousness, with which I have endeavored, and shall endeavor, to maintain the alliance I have contracted with the French Republic, and the ties of friendship and good intelligence, which happily subsist between the two countries...
We, Paul the first, by the grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. &c. make known to all our faithful subjects, We, and our allies have resolved to destroy the anarchical and illegitimate government, which now prevails in France...
Among the small number of European powers, who have apparently delivered themselves up to it, but who, in reality, are fearful of the vengeance of that government, abandoned of God, and which is in its last agonies...
I have seen this declaration, without surprise, because the conduct observed towards my Chargé d'Affaires, and other proceedings, no less strange of that sovereign, for some time past, announced that this crisis would happen.
I have seen this declaration, without surprise, because the conduct observed towards my Chargé d'Affaires, and other proceedings, no less strange of that sovereign, for some time past, announced that this crisis would happen. Therefore, in having ordered the Chargé of Russia to depart from my court and states, resentment had a much less share, than the imperious considerations of my dignity.
therein contained of a nature, offensive to me, and to all the powers of Europe. And as I know the nature of the influence, which England holds over the present Czar, I should think myself humiliated, were I to answer to that manifesto, not being bound to render an account of my political connections to any one.
Signed with the royal hand. A true copy, (Signed) URQUIJO. St. Ildefonso, 9th Sept. 1799.
Extract of a Letter from Holland, dated 4th October, 1799.
"You will before this reaches you, have heard that the British and Russians have landed in this country. They captured our fleet without opposition, and are in possession of the Helder, the naval arsenal and all the islands in the Zuyder Zee. On the 10th inst, they received a check, owing to the impetuosity of the Russian Troops...
The Honorable GEORGE THATCHER, M.C. arrived in town yesterday. The city is already thronged with Democratic members, who being always alert, wherever mischief is to be done, are no doubt contemplating a bold push for a speaker of that kidney.
M c J. M c Neal, Supercargo of ship Fortitude, P. Kearny, master, is arrived in this city and confirms the melancholy account as stated in our paper a few days past. This gentleman conceives it a duty incumbent on him thus publicly to express his gratitude to Sir Thomas Williams, Kt. and his officers, for the kindness and humanity shown to him and the other other people whilst on board his Britannic Majesty's frigate Endymion.
Oct. 18, 1799, the ship Rising States, capt. of Providence, from Newport in lat. 18, N. and long. 27, W. out 31 days, bound round Cape Horn. Oct. 25th, the brig Molly, of Philadelphia, capt. Huggins, in lat. 35, 30, N. and long. 35, 25, W. bound up the Rio de la Plata.
At about half past two, yesterday afternoon, was beautifully launched the Frigate Philadelphia, of 44 guns, built by the subscribers of the merchants of this city, under the direction of M c L. Samuel Humphreys and Nathaniel Hutson.
May she, while the elegance of her construction reflects credit no less upon the architect, than on the liberality and patriotism of the city, contribute largely, under a gallant commander, to break those Lilliputian ties in which the craft and subtlety of the gallie Hydra, has enmeshed our Infant Hercules.
The Augusta and Richmond brigs fired a Governmental salute on the occasion, and an immense mob of spectators gave repeated huzzas.
Benjamin Russell pertinaciously says, "it is a falsehood that the Frigate United States is going to cruise against the French republic." Meanwhile there can be little doubt of the fact, that that vessel, and all the rest of our navy, will continue to be employed to that purpose (for which they were built) until a peace takes place; and he must be an egregious ass, who imagines otherwise. It is a pleasant satire on the character of that government of murderers, that while we are offering our humiliation to them, to preserve a disgraceful cowardly peace, we find it politic to place no confidence in their faith, but to keep as much as possible à la distance; and yet this latter policy must meet the applause of all discerning men.
The funeral obsequies of the late Mr. GILLYON, were attended, on Wednesday afternoon, by a very numerous concourse of the most respectable characters, we ever remembered to have been assembled in this city. Deep sorrow lit on every countenance. Such distinction shown to such a man, as that of the deceased, reflects no less honor on the sensibility and discernment which produced it, than on the memory of its object.
BALTIMORE, November 27, '99. Mr. J. W. PENNO. Sir, You will oblige me by informing your readers, that the Jemima and Fanny, which vessel was released after having been carried into a French port, is the property of W. B. Magruder, and not of S. SMITH.
NEW-YORK, November 28. Captain Thomas Smith, late of the ship Fortitude, of this port, came passenger in the sloop Providence, capt. Lewis, arrived yesterday in 16 days from St. Kitts gives us the following information:—That on the 7th of August last, being a few miles west of Madeira, the Fortitude was captured by the Volney French privateer, and carried to the island of Palena, together with the brig Sukey Smith, capt. Harris, of Charleston, where both vessels and cargo were condemned on the 6th of September. Capt. Smith at Teneriffe, took passage in the brig Little Benjamin, capt. Cook, for Charleston; on the 6th Oct. in lat. 23, 30, and near the parallel of Antigua, the Little Benjamin was captured by the Ocean privateer, capt. Troole, of Guadalupe, a fine Bermudian built brig, pierced for 18 guns, but had only ten long nines, sixes and fours, and a crew of 135 men, when she left port. Capt. Smith further informs, that he was detained on board the privateer nearly a month, cruising from 23 to 26 degrees north lat. and about 61 degrees west long. On the 29th October, the privateer was captured by the United States ship Delaware, capt. Baker, after a chase of above 6 hours. The privateer having hove 8 of her heaviest guns overboard, and cleared her decks of boats, spars, &c. and carried away her foremast and main-topmast. On the 3d inst. the Delaware and her prize arrived at St. Kitts. By this capture about 30 Americans were relieved from a disagreeable situation, although their treatment was liberal to both officers and seamen, faring in common with themselves. The privateer had been cruising about 35 days, and had captured the following American vessels:
Sloop New-York Packet, Carpenter from Edenton to the West-Indies.
Brig Little Benjamin, Cook, from Teneriffe to Charleston.
Schr. Diana, Dyer, from Portland to the West-Indies.

Just Published, A COMPENDIOUS SYSTEM Of Practical Surveying and Dividing of land; briefly comprized under the following heads, viz.
TWENTY-THREE Geometrical Defini- tions, eleven Geometrical Positions, ex- hibiting to view the properties and dependen- cies of triangles; followed by problems and examples preparatory to Trigonometry, heights and distances. Then fifteen problems and ex- amples necessarily previous to calculating a Sur- vey succeeded by seven surveys, the area of the four first is found geometrically, and of the whole number by difference of latitude and de- parture, shewing how to take an inaccessible boundary, find the bearing and distance of the closing line without running it, also the dis- tances to an inaccessible corner from the two adjacent corners, followed by examples of off- sets to winding streams of water, shewing how to ascertain the area without the trouble of measuring the windings with chains and instruments—a crooked water course flattened, and a quantity of land on each side found by their offset.
Ten examples of dividing land, with many sub-divisions, leading into the most critical cir- cumstances that can occur in practice; an example of Intersections, and an example shew- ing how the bearings of a field may be truly taken where the needle is attracted, altho' the attraction may vary in quantity and denomi- nation at every station; examples shewing the method of measuring by the chain only. All the rules are clear and explicit. This work con- tains the tables of difference of latitude and de- parture and of logarithms.

TERMS.
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia,
FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
JOURNALS OF CONGRESS,
FROM THE COMMENCEMENT
Of the American War, in 1774, to
the present time,
INCLUDING
The Reports of Heads of Departments, of
Committees, and other Official and Pri-
vate Papers of that Body, now first per-
mitted to be made public.
TERMS.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 300 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars. whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print man- more than the number subscribed for, a consider- able rise on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original editions; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. $5 Payments to be made on delivery of each volume.
Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern- ment.
In all countries, the proceedings in the com- mencement of their governments, are lost in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public re- cords, and the attention of the nation, in these rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys everything, enhances the value of well authenti- cated public records, and renders them almost in- estimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, there- fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans- mitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors —founders of the Columbian nation. ** The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798."

"The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens,
&c. of Philadelphia,
"Respectfully represents,
"That having, in our respective avocations,
frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con-
gress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity
of them: That we understand that Richard
Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in
contemplation to print that public record; and
that he has obtained partial countenance from many
individuals; but that he has delayed prosecut-
ing the work, in expectation of encouragement
from government, that may adequately indemnify
him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, that the
publication is necessary to be disseminated among
public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom
render him such additional encouragement, to that
which he has obtained from private individuals,
as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that
your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies
of that record for themselves.
