Thoughts on the policy of limiting the right of the General Government to lay taxes.
[CONTINUED.]
IF this view of the subject be not absolutely conclusive, let us invert the picture already presented, and view the effects of the system which shall give to the states as well as the federal government, on the ground of taxation, an independent existence.
In this case no fatal jealousy of each other would exist, to the perpetual frustration of some valuable purpose. Each, having allotted to it particular sources of revenue, would move in a distinct sphere, and no interference of one with the other would occur. The general government, knowing the extent of its pecuniary resources, would not be tempted, by the impulses of ambition, to attempt projects beyond its power of accomplishment. On the other hand, the states would, as they ought to do, pay greater attention to internal improvements, to the advancement of the arts, to the promotion of useful knowledge. At present they do little, not so much because their means are small, as from the fear, lest those means, small as they are, may be wrested from them.
Such would be the benignant effects of this system in times of tranquility and peace. Its effects would be no less efficient in periods of great emergency. In such period, the resources of the general government being great, would be fully commensurate to every purpose of immediate defence against sudden aggression, and equal, in a great if not an absolute degree, to a persevering and steady protection of the country. Should, however, more extensive resources be required than those at the immediate disposition of Congress, the states must be resorted to. The same reasons which would render in the opinion of Congress these additional resources necessary, would be equally obvious to the states, who would not hesitate in periods of great political peril, to throw their united funds into the general treasury. We cannot imagine any great crisis, in which the country would be in danger, when the states would not be as anxious for energetic measures as the general government itself. Feeling more sensibly the impulses of the public sentiment, in proportion to the animation and exhibition of that sentiment would rise their spirit of courage and resistance. The confidence too, of the nation would be complete and entire.
For the wisdom of measures which claimed from them the greatest immediate sacrifices of their property they would have the guaranty, in the first place of the federal government which formed the measures, and of the state governments which sanctioned them. In this way more money could be raised than in any other. It would be raised too in a shorter time. For the general government being obliged by the constitution to apply its taxes generally and equally throughout the union, would require longer time than would be necessary for each state, on some plan previously practised, to impose and collect a tax peculiarly accommodated to the pre-conceived opinions, and pre-contracted habits of its citizens.
Some objections may, on first thought, be made to the proposed modification of the Constitution, by those who recollect the imbecility of the general government under the old articles of confederation. But on reflection, it will be found that none of the just objections to the inefficient system under which we then lived, have the most remote application to the proposed plan. For, under the confederation the states possessed the exclusive right of taxation, and Congress had only the right to recommend certain taxes; whereas under the proposed modification Congress will have the exclusive right of imposing duties on the greater part of the objects of taxation; while the states will enjoy the exclusive right of taxing minor objects. The absolute power possessed by the general government will insure to it the respect of the states, and
enable it to crush unaided by the states any unconstitutional attempts of the latter to encroach on forbidden ground.
So far then from being an object of decision, it will always command respect, while it continues to exercise the authority with which it is invested in the promotion of the public welfare, and from the beneficent effects it will diffuse through the nation.
There is one idea, already noticed, too important not to be brought more distinctly into view. I mean the promotion of arts and sciences. That our agriculture, many of our mechanic arts, and science generally should be encouraged by public aid, is acknowledged by every one. But by whom shall it be done? It can only be done by the general, or state governments.
With regard to the power of the general government to encourage the arts, great doubt, to say no more, exists. No such power is expressly delegated by that very constitution, which reserves to the states or the people all powers not expressly imparted. The same constitution in declaring "that Congress shall have power to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing, for limited times, to authors and inventors, the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries," strongly implies that Congress shall in no other way promote the progress of science and useful arts. Under these circumstances it would be irrational to expect the open and liberal interposition of Congress. They may, by the particular modification of duties, and imposition of taxes, incidentally encourage the arts; but this is not that kind of encouragement which is calculated to give them that expansion which more direct aid could not fail to produce.
For this aid then we must necessarily resort to the state governments. When applied to, we are told by the state governments that however laudable the objects desired, they are too poor to grant the solicited contribution.
Thus in a country whose peculiar character not only recommends, but absolutely requires, the widest diffusion of useful knowledge and the greatest facility to obtain it, we behold systems of government endowed with powers more calculated to frustrate these great ends than any other governments in existence. And thus we behold the gloomy truth of the national sentiment loudly and unanimously enforcing measures, which cannot be accomplished from the conflicting powers of the governments. Ought not an American, the only true republican on earth, to feel humiliation at seeing despotic governments do more for the advancement of knowledge than his own government; that government which cannot continue to exist, but must sink into the debasement of tyranny, unless the great body of the people be well informed.
This object alone is surely a great one. Let it then excite the public attention, and let us hope soon to see constitutional remedies applied to an evil so easily cured.

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, Mar 29, 1801.
We yesterday published in an EXTRA paper the following important letter respecting the disposition of TRIPOLI and ALGIERS, received by the Secretary of State.
Extract of a letter from col. Humphreys to the Secretary of State, dated April 14th, 1801.
"I think I cannot display too much eagerness in communicating to you, by different conveyances, the news this moment received by me from Algiers. I hasten then to transmit copies of Consul O'Brien's letter to the 6th instant, which came to me through the Department of the first minister of state of his Catholic majesty.—From the last of these letters you will learn, that the Bey of Tripoli, having refused the mediation of Algiers, the presents sent from thence and the bills of consular Cathcart, was determined upon war against the United States, and was sending his cruisers to sea accordingly. It is devoutly to be wished that he may soon have reason to repent this wicked and rash proceeding at his leisure. As it is a considerable time since consul Cathcart (whom I consider a very faithful and vigilant public officer) took the wise precaution of giving extensive advice of the great probability of this event, I cannot but hope that our unarmed merchant vessels will not be exposed to the hazard of falling into the possession of these pirates, but that they will rather be retained in port (however inconvenient or expensive it may be) until they can be protected by armed vessels of the United States, adequate to the purpose. On the policy of repelling force by force, and of blocking the ports of this aggressor, I can add little to the motives which I have already had the honor to offer. I may, however, just be allowed to say, that the circumstances seem more than at any former time to reduce us to the alternative of having a few frigates and light armed vessels in the Mediterranean, or of relinquishing our trade in it. To be at war with one of the Barbary powers, subjects our commerce to nearly the same risk as to be at war with all of them. To chastise that haughty but contemptible power which now dares first to insult us by its aggression would certainly serve, not only as a salutary example to the other piratical states, but it would produce an almost incalculable effect in elevating our national character in the estimation of all Europe."
Algiers, the 5th of April, 1801.
SIR,
THE Algerine corsairs are as yet all in port, and wait the result of the second mission to Constantinople. I hope something will come forward from the United States before they sail; if not, I have my fears. On the 1st inst. I sent to the Dey, requesting he would permit a second letter to be wrote by his orders to the Bashaw of Tripoli; he answered that his letter had certainly gone safe, and would answer the desired effect. April 5th—this morning at 8 A. M. the prime minister of Algiers sent a choux or constable to me, to inform me that the Americans were in arrears in their annuities nearly three years; that what has been sent lately is very trifling, and that the Dey is not well pleased at this neglect or detention. I answered by my interpreter, to give my best respects to the prime minister; to inform him that in our last settlement we arranged the annuities for two years and nine months; that one year was considered by the U. States to be omitted; that we had brought sundry
stores since (in the Sophia and Washington) which were not counted; that great commissions of timber and other articles were wrote for, or ordered by the regency on the annuities; that these articles, I expected, were preparing in the U. States to be shipped for Algiers; that our rivers were frozen till March, and that by this time I expected said articles were shipped, and would of course come forward sufficient to answer all the requisite stipulations on the part of the U. States, which were due to the regency.
The prime minister observed, that we were much in arrears, more so than is customary to admit any nation; that he hoped these requisite articles on the annuities would soon arrive at Algiers; that they were the chain of our friendship with this regency. This looks squally.
Sir, I am very respectfully, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) RICHARD O'BRIEN.

Algiers, the 6th of April, 1801.
ESTEEMED SIR,
YESTERDAY I received letters from Consul Cathcart, dated Tripoli, the 19th and 26th of February. The Bashaw of Tripoli has disregarded the friendly letters and interference of the Dey of Algiers; has rejected to receive the presents I sent from Algiers. Consul Cathcart offered to give him bills, &c. to the amount of 25,000 dollars, to gain time to have a reference to the U. States; but this also was rejected. Our treaty is in a manner declared void, and the Bashaw of Tripoli has sent his corsairs to sea, with an intent to capture Americans. He wants war, and he should have it. Even if he should accept of the bills, I have not money or credit to pay or answer them; further, it would be establishing an example for Algiers and Tunis to make greater demands, and I have no such powers to act without a reference, on such a great affair, to the government and Mr. Smith. I have sent many important papers on this business to Mr. Montgomery, to copy and forward, and am so hurried that I have not time to add more than to inform you of this impending danger, and to assure you, Sir,
Of the sincere regard and esteem of your most obedient servant, (Signed) RICHARD O'BRIEN.

On the 11th April last the elevation of the hereditary prince of Parma to the dignity of king of Tuscany was announced officially at Madrid, as well as the testimonies of rejoicing which are to take place in consequence of it.
The following is said to be the definitive declaration of the French government relative to Portugal:—
"That if Portugal shall not accede, within eight days, to the basis of a peace, by shutting its ports to England and receiving French or Spanish garrisons, it will not be admitted to any further negotiation, but be declared a province of Spain, re-united to the crown of Spain, and as such guaranteed by the French government."
The French are about making an attack on the island of Jersey, and have for that purpose assembled on the neighboring coast an army of 15,000 men. A number of gun boats have been prepared at St. Maloes for the expedition.
An article from the Hague, of the 11th April, states that admiral Winter's fleet has every thing on board, and will sail in the course of the week.

According to letters from Bucharest, Pashwan Oglou was lately attacked by three Pachas, who totally defeated him. The Ottoman troops received considerable reinforcements, and were marching against Widdin, with a formidable park of battering artillery.
Letters from Limberg state that a Russian army of 40,000 men is advancing towards Moldavia, and that the advanced guard has already reached the frontiers of that province.
All obstacles to the commercial intercourse between the India company's territories and Persia, have at length been completely removed, and trade has revived in a manner that promises the highest advantage.
Sir William Scott, gave notice in the House of Commons the 20th of April, that he intended to move for leave to bring in a bill for the better regulation of Vice Admiralty Courts in the West Indies and other foreign possessions. He expressed his opinion, that this species of jurisdiction ought to be founded on the clearest principles, and exercised with the strictest impartiality, justice and regard to the rights and privileges of other countries. From the situation, however, in which he was placed, he had opportunities of observing that erroneous decisions have been made in some instances. He was proceeding to state the case in which these errors had originated, when the Speaker interrupted him by observing, that if he only meant to give notice and not to make any motion, he would be out of order in proceeding.

HALLIFAX, May 18. Mr. HONGE,
In a conversation with Mr. Smith our Minister Resident at Lisbon, respecting the trade of this country with Portugal, he remarked upon the disadvantages under which our naval stores and staves were sold at Lisbon and Oporto, and particularly at the latter place; as these were articles of considerable importance in our exports. I requested him to favour me with his observations in writing—you will find them enclosed, and I will thank you to publish them, as they must be of service to the merchants and the makers of those articles in this state.
I am, &c. Wm. R. DAVIE.
TAR.—The American Tar has always a quantity of water mixed with it, and sometimes sand and stones. While American Tar was sold at Oporto at 5 and 6000 reis per barrel (equal to 6 1-2 and 7 1-2 dollars) Swedish Tar sold for 12 and 14000 reis (equal to 15 and 17 dollars.) I am assured that American Tar will not sell except in cases of great necessity.
STAVES.—Hamburg Staves are about 2 or 2 1/2 and an half inches longer than the American, and sell at Oporto for nearly double the price of the latter. The house of Clamont, Brown and Co. of Oporto, offers double the usual price for American Staves of the same length with those of Hamburg. At Lisbon they make use of American Staves, but at Oporto, which is of vastly more importance, the preference is always given to those of Hamburg. The English vessels in the Oporto trade being made to contain a certain number of pipes of particular dimensions, the captains, who have long been accustomed to those pipes, can make better stowage with them—of course the merchants give them the preference.—When it is considered that from 50 to 60,000 pipes are annually exported from Oporto in English vessels, the article of Staves must be of considerable magnitude.

ARMY OF THE EAST.
LONDON April 20.
It appears by the details transmitted by Le Roy, the maritime prefect at Alexandria, that the expedition appeared off the coast on the 1st of March, and the weather did not permit a landing to take place till the 8th. The French general Friant, the commandant of Alexandria, was by this circumstance enabled to assemble the force in his neighbourhood, and to dispute, though not prevent the disembarkation. The enemy vainly attempted to oppose the landing, which our troops effected in good order, notwithstanding the obstruction they had to encounter.
After a severe action our troops got possession of the heights of Aboukir.—The French retreated to Alexandria, as they say in good order. They admit the loss of three hundred killed and wounded, and are no doubt guilty of a very gross exaggeration in stating that we lost two thousand killed and wounded. Between the 8th and 13th nothing very important took place: on the 13th our forces, according to the enemy's account, to the number of twelve thousand, advanced to attack, which the French received in front of Alexandria. Their own number they state at four thousand. A very hard fought action took place that day. The French do not admit that our efforts were successful in carrying, or at least in retaining any of the outworks of Alexandria. The battle was very general, and must have been attended with great loss on both sides.
By the account transmitted by Le Roy, it appears that Menou had been apprised of the disembarkation of our forces; and on the 11th he had arrived with his head quarters at Rhamanie, about fifty miles from Alexandria. There he was concentrating his forces, and expected at Alexandria by the 21st of March. He would, no doubt, bring with him the principal part of his forces, particularly the division of REGNIER and LANUSSE. These, with what he had himself at Cairo, were lately stated to be 15,000; (an exaggeration,) and of these a considerable part must have been left in garrison.
The accounts give no authentic details of the number of our troops, nor have we any grounds of conjecture whether all Sir R. Abercromby's army landed at the same spot. Not a word is mentioned of any British force having arrived at Suez. Some letters from the East mention however that Sir R. Abercromby had heard of the arrival in the Red Sea of the force from Bombay before he sailed from Marseilles. It would be of the utmost importance to the success of our operations if any considerable body of men has actually arrived on that side.
Paris, April 14.
The frigate Regenerée, with 300 troops, 3000 mulquets, and a great variety of articles necessary for the army, had arrived at Alexandria, together with several vessels from the Adriatic and the Mediterranean, on board of one of which was an aid de-camp of General Murat.
General Abercromby had effected a disembarkation at Aboukir on the 8th of March, with about 13 or 14,000 men.
Between the 8th and 16th of March, he had unsuccessfully attempted to shut up the garrison of Alexandria within the walls of the town.
The General in Chief, Menou, had arrived on the 11th, at head quarters at Rhamanie, where he concentrated the different divisions of his army.
It is probable that before now the fate of Egypt is decided. That country, the most interesting on the globe, both by its geographical situation and the services it has rendered to mankind, is now about to flourish in arts, and to taste the fruits of civilization, which make so great a difference between the nations of Europe and those in a state of barbarity; or once more subjected to the iron yoke of the Pachas, those hopes of civilization and improvement must vanish with which she has for some time been flattered, and Asia must remain in a state of barbarism. In a few days we shall know whether the good or evil genius has prevailed in this interesting and ill-fated country.
The military chief and the superintendant of movements to the maritime prefect of the 6th Arrondissement.
Alexandria, March 16.
CITIZEN PREFECT, On the 1st of March, the enemy's fleet was defied from Alexandria. At first we counted 100 sail, which came in shore, lay too, and during the night bore away for Aboukir—This fleet, composed of
about 200 sail, among which were 23 English ships, or caravellas, and a number of smaller ships, moored in the morning of March 2, in the road of Aboukir. The English Squadron which blocked up our port joined this expedition, and opened our harbor. The frigates La Regenerée and the Lodi availed themselves of these positions to enter the Old Harbor. The Regenerée cast anchor at ten o'clock in the morning, and the Lodi at four in the afternoon. The latter had left Rochfort in company with the Africaine, which has not yet arrived. In the morning of the 2d. the general of division Friant, commandant of Alexandria, marched for Aboukir, with a part of the garrison. On the 5th, in the evening, two of the enemy's frigates and a brig resumed the station off the port—While the enemy's fleet cast anchor at Aboukir, the wind veered to the north, somewhat squally. This produced a strong surf, which prevented the enemy effecting their landing till the 8th. On the morning of the 8th, the enemy loaded all their boats, to the number of about 400. They gained the land in good order, and formed in line of battle the moment they landed. Our division performed prodigies of valor, in opposing the disembarkation, but was obliged to yield to numbers. The enemy landed 6 or 7000 troops, after an engagement in which they must have lost 1000 men, and the republic about 250 killed and wounded. The number of the dead is much smaller than that of the wounded. Among the latter is adjutant general Martinet. General Friant then fell back on Alexandria, in order to be enabled to cover that place. The enemy did not pass the Peninsula. The fort is provided with a good garrison, and will resist their attempts. The brig Lodi brought us the news of the conclusion of peace with the emperor, and of the arrival of the squadron of general Gantheaume in the Mediterranean. The enemy employed the days subsequent to the disembarkation in establishing themselves on the Peninsula. They then endeavored to advance towards Alexandria. The advanced posts skirmished for some days; but on the 11th, the enemy endeavoring to gain possession of some important posts, general Briant attacked them—The success of the engagement was various the whole day; but attempting to carry the bridge of the canal of Alexandria, the enemy were repulsed, and compelled to abandon their design. The battle was warm. The enemy lost between 2 and 3000 men, and we had only 300 killed and wounded. We are informed by defectors—1st, That the enemy have 15,000 men, distributed into 15 regiments, consisting of French emigrants, Corsicans, and Imperialists; the remainder English. 2dly, That they are commanded by lard Keith for the naval, general Abercromby for the land service. On the 14th the enemy made no movement. On the 15th in the morning, they attacked the fort of Aboukir. During the last few days the garrison of Alexandria has been reinforced, which raises our number to between 4 and 5000 men. We daily expect the general in chief, Menou, who, it is said, will arrive to-morrow with the army. It is probable that a joint attack will compel the enemy to re-embark, if they do not re-embark before it. The greater part of the enemy's fleet are at anchor at Aboukir. There are constantly five or six frigates and other small vessels which block up the harbor and cruise between Aboukir and Merabouk.

LONDON, April 18. FIRST REPORT FROM THE COMMITTEE OF SECRECY.
The committee of secrecy, to whom the several papers, which were presented (sealed up) to the house, by Mr. chancellor of the exchequer, upon the 1st and 2d of this instant April, by his majesty's command, were referred; and who were directed to examine the matters thereof, and report the same, as they shall appear to them, to the house:—
Have proceeded, with the utmost diligence, to the consideration of the matters referred to them; but from the extent and variety of the information, respecting different parts of the United kingdom, which has been laid before them; they are under the necessity of requesting the indulgence of the house for a short time before they can submit the result to their investigation on all the points to which it has extended.
Your committee, however, think it incumbent upon them to state, without delay, that they have received the fullest proofs that the dangerous and treasonable conspiracy for the subversion of the constitution and government, which in the year

1798, in concert with a foreign enemy, produced the horrid and sanguinary rebellion in Ireland, and the progress and extent of which, in Great Britain, is detailed in the report of the committee of Secrecy in the year 1799, has never been abandoned. The hopes and activity of the disaffected were checked, and their intentions frustrated by the vigilance of government, and by the effect of the laws which were adopted: but the principles and designs remained unchanged, and they have for some time, and more especially of late, been endeavouring to take advantage of the distress occasioned by the high price of provisions, for carrying these wicked designs into effect;—It has particularly appeared to your committee, that the instigators of these proceedings, have on repeated occasions, secretly expressed their wish, for the aggravation of those evils, which they every were endeavour to use as a pretext and engine for exciting popular discontent:—they appear to have derived their principal encouragement from the pressure arising from the scarcity; from the hopes of assistance from a foreign enemy upon the invasion of Great Britain or Ireland; and from the expiration of the laws before referred to, from which the concurrent testimony from different parts of the kingdom, they acknowledge and declare to have been the principal obstacle to the measures.
Within a few weeks past, and to the latest period to which the information received by your committee can apply, their activity has been great and encreasing in the metropolis and in other parts of the kingdom; every effort is employed that can tend to disturb the public tranquility; and recent intelligence has been received from the different quarters, which justifies your committee in believing, that, at this moment, the immediate object of the disaffected, is to endeavour, by a sudden explosion, to avail themselves of the interval which may still take place before those laws can be renewed. The dangerous system of a secret confederacy, under the obligation of an unlawful oath, which prevailed in Ireland, and afterwards extended itself to Great Britain, has been revived, with additional precautions, for the purpose of ensuring concert, secrecy and dispatch. And it appears to be in agitation, suddenly, by these means, to call numerous meetings, in different parts of the country, at the same day and hour, to an extent which, if not prevented must materially endanger the public peace; and that among the persons most forward in instigating these criminal proceedings, are some of those who had been detained under the suspension of the Habeas Corpus act, and who have been released from confinement.
These considerations, your committee have felt themselves bound to submit, in the first instance, to the wisdom of the House, believing that any delay in so doing would be attended with material danger to the country; and for the same reason, they feel it a duty incumbent on them, to take the first moment of stating to the House their strong unanimous opinion, grounded on the information which they have received, that no time ought to be lost in renewing those measures of precaution, which the wisdom of the legislature has been before adopted; particularly the act for suspension of the provisions of the Habeas Corpus act, and the act to prevent Seditious Meetings; which while they remain in force, were attended with the happiest effects in preserving the public tranquility, and which your committee have the most confident hope would have the same salutary operation, under the present circumstances.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 10.
The Captain Pacha has at length failed on the 26th of the last month with his division, consisting of two ships of the line, three frigates, and twelve gun-boats. The day before yesterday the vice-admiral failed also, with the second division, which is not numerous, a third division is to sail in the course of a few days; all this naval force will immediately proceed to the coast of Egypt. If we can judge from appearances, the Porte is resolved to make the greatest efforts to get possession of that country; preparations were never carried on with greater activity; people are employed day and night in fitting out a new armament, but notwithstanding these dispositions, it is doubted whether our government will accomplish its object. According to the last advices, the army of the Grand Vizier is entirely destroyed by the plague, famine and desertion. There scarcely remain to this generalissimo a few hundreds of men, who serve him as an escort. On the other hand it is confirmed that the French have received a numerous reinforcement, which has been landed at Alexandria.
All the English settlers here seem to apprehend some political change; a great number of them to hold themselves in readiness to quit this capital. Mr. Spencer Smith will set out in a few days, on his return to London.
Lord Elgin, who for six months past has resided in the Hotel de France, is to leave in consequence of a hint from the Porte. This ambassador has laid aside his quality of envoy extraordinary, to assume that of ordinary minister of his Britannic majesty. He will continue to manage the affairs of the East-India Company.
ST. PETERSBURGH, March 27.
Soon after the decease of our late monarch, his present Imperial majesty dispatched couriers to London, Paris, Berlin, the Hague, Naples, and Stockholm. The Russian ambassador at Berlin received orders to send immediately other couriers from Berlin for Carlsruhe, Dresden, Erlangen, Vienna, Copenhagen, Bayreuth, and Ludwigsburg. Count Woronow, in London, is said to have received credentials, by means of a courier, from the present emperor. Couriers have also been sent to the respective governors in the Russian empire, through one of whom, M. de Begleicheff, the governor of Riga, was ordered immediately to proceed to Petersburg where he is appointed procurator-general, a place which he had filled before, in the room of prince Obolensky, dismissed. Our young monarch answers completely the great expectations which had been formed throughout the empire respecting him. His humane heart, convinced of the love and attachment of his people, will not admit of those public marks of servile veneration and before shown to the emperors; one of his first orders annulled that of his predecessor, by which persons passing any member of the Imperial family, in carriages, were obliged to get out and to salute them in an abject manner. It is said that the embargo on English property is to be taken off. The Court Gazette still continues not to state the course of exchange on Paris.
The following article is extracted from a Paris paper of the 16th April.
Petersburgh, 27th March.
"It is impossible at present to get any precise idea respecting the death of Paul I. It is said in the palace, that it was a bloodletting which carried him off thus suddenly. His natural constitution, and his mode of life appeared to preserve him from this sort of fate; he was of a spare habit, lived soberly, led a hard life, and took a great deal of exercise. On the other hand, he fatigued himself with excessive labour, entered passionately into politics; his soul was constantly agitated with mistrust and fear, and his love of women led him to great excesses. These causes combined may serve to account for his premature death. Time only can clear up the mystery."
"Whatever may have been the cause, his death does not appear to have excited any regret. His severity had alienated the minds of all classes; a vexatious and annoying police had made an abode in the capital very melancholy—No ten persons dared to meet in one house, from the fear of alarming the suspicions of the czar—no one was sure of preserving his employment, whether military or civil—all fortunes were held by an uncertain tenure—the rupture with England was completely unpopular, because the factories of the English in Russia, their manner of carrying on business, and the money which they expend are favorable to industry and cultivation. At the same time, a general prejudice in favour of the grand duke Alexander began to prevail among the people, the nobility and the army. Add to this the natural taste which all people have for change, and you will conceive the universal satisfaction with which this young prince has ascended the throne."
The Paris papers also mention the following circumstances concerning the death of Paul I. At eleven o'clock in the morning preceding his death, being on the parade, he appeared all of a sudden to be struck with some idea; he called for a pen and ink, and wrote upon his hat a letter to the First Consul. He first gave orders that it should be instantly sent off by an extraordinary courier. Afterwards, upon recollection, he said it would be sufficient to entrust it to the courier who was to be sent on the following day to M. de Kalitchev. At 9 o'clock at night, he entered his apartment; at ten a Turkish servant, who was constantly attended him, retired; at eleven o'clock the death of Paul was made public. The empress mother took the oath to Alexander. At 2 o'clock in the morning, the people took the oath in all the churches. For the last 3 months, Paul was subject to an hæmorrhoidal flux.
HAGUE, April 8.
We hear from the Helder, that the order for laying an embargo on all merchant ships having arrived at that place on the 30th of March, it was put in immediately into execution, which prevented many ships from proceeding to sea. Orders also arrived at the Meuse in sufficient time to prevent the departure of those ships that were ready to set sail.
April 9.
Our fleet which is now in the Meuse, under the command of Admiral DE WINTER, is on the point of sailing. The officers belonging to the ships have received orders to join without delay their respective vessels.
BRUSSELS, April 11.
The latest accounts from the Hague state, that in consequence of the urgent applications of the Minister of the United States, the Batavian Government has taken off the embargo on American vessels; but it still continues with respect to the trading vessels of other nations.
The staple fixed at Brussels, in the reign of Joseph II. is to be removed to Antwerp. The free navigation of the Scheldt having ruined the trade of Ostend, the principal houses are preparing for the removal to the same place. On the other hand, it is probable that the German Companies here will transfer their business to some of the towns on the Rhine; so that a general commercial revolution will take place in the nine united departments of Belgium.
PARIS, April 17.
According to the last accounts from Constantinople, since the news of the peace between France and Austria has been known, a great change has taken place in the disposition of the Divan. The captain Pacha who had set out for the expedition of Egypt has received orders to remain at the Dardanelles. Every thing that has transpired of a great Council which has been held, would induce us to think that the Divan begins to understand its real interests better.

HANOVER.
The Elector of Hanover is Arch Treasurer of the Empire, and descended from the ancient family of the Guelphs, Dukes and Electors of Bavaria; one of whom, Henry the Lion, in 1140, married Maude, eldest daughter of King Henry (Plantagenet) II. of England. Their son William, succeeded to Brunswick Lunenburg, and his son Otto, was created Duke thereof.
The dominions descended in a direct line to Ernest, who divided them upon his death in 1546, into two branches, that of Brunswick-Lunenburg Wolfenbuttel and Brunswick Zell. The possessor of the latter, Ernest Augustus, was, in 1692 raised to the dignity of an elector before which he was head of the College of German Princes. Ernest married Sophia, daughter of Frederick Elector Palatine and King of Bohemia, by Elizabeth, daughter of James I. King of England. Sophia being the next Protestant heir to the house of Stuart, the Parliament fixed the crown of Great Britain upon her on Queen Anne's demise; and George-Louis, her eldest son, became King of Great Britain in consequence thereof; since which the Electors of Hanover have filled the British throne.
The city of Hanover is seated on the river Leina, in a very pleasant fruitful plain, where the Elector, George I. had his residence before he ascended the throne of Great Britain. It is surrounded by a wall and other works of no great strength. The palace or castle of the Elector has but a mean appearance outwardly, but within it is magnificently furnished. The town is generally ill-built, and the best structure is the Roman Catholic church, which was granted to the papists, when the father of George I. was made an Elector. It is fifteen miles south-east of Neustadt, twenty-five south-west of Zell, and fifteen north-west of Brunswick.—Long. 10. 5. lat. 52. 5. N.
Population, &c. —This Electorate contains 1,062,500 souls, upon a surface of 10,330 square miles, being at the rate of about 103 inhabitants to each square mile. The principal divisions are, the Duchies of Lawenburg, Lunenburg, and Brunswick Zell, Calenburg, with Bremen and Verden, all in Lower Saxony, and Hoya, Diepholt and Bentheim, in the circle of Westphalia. The population of its capitals are estimated as follows: Bremen 28,000; Hanover 20,000; Zell 12,600; Lunenburg 11,000; Göttingen 8,000.
Armed Force. —The Military Power numbers about 20,000 men, but it is capable of great increase. This force consists of eleven regiments of cavalry, dragoons and hussars; fourteen regiments of infantry, &c. one corps of engineers and artillery; four battalions of garrison troops; and ten battalions of provincial troops. Although this Electorate has no naval force, it possesses a very considerable mercantile marine on the river Elbe and Weser.
State of Finances, &c. The Annual Revenue is about 820,000. sterling; the Military Charges near 230,000. making, with the General Expenses near 730,000. consequently there is a saving of 38,000. annually.
Public Debt. —The Debt, a few years ago, (according to M. Beaufort) amounted to 130,000,000 of Livres Tournois, near 5,500,000. sterling. To its reduction the Surplus Revenue and a Capitation Tax have been applied, so that it is at present nearly extinguished.
Political Constitution, &c. —The Sovereignty is hereditary; and the sovereign power is administered by the Lords of the Regency, appointed by the Elector, King of Great Britain.
Throughout all the provinces they possess a considerable share of freedom, the people being represented in the Assemblies of the States.
Agriculture, Commerce, &c. —Although there are various tracts of heath and marshy ground, the soil in general produces abundance of corn, fruits, hemp, flax, tobacco, madder, and some wine. There are several large salt works. A good deal of cattle are reared, and a great number of excellent horses. Most metals and minerals are found here. The forests furnish sufficient timber and there are large quantities of pitch and tar.
The natural productions of the Electorate furnish ample materials for commerce, so as to prevent the balance being against them although their manufactures are not sufficient for its consumption. Cattle, horses, salt, wrought iron, and fuel, are principal articles of export.
Of its Courts of Judicature, the Consistory, the High Court of Justice, and the Regency are the principal; besides which,
every province has its municipal administration with the inferior divisions into Bailiwicks, &c. The Police is excellent, and Justice fairly administered. The elector enjoys the right de non appellando in all criminal affairs, but in civil processes only 2,000 florins.
Literature is in a very advanced state throughout these dominions. The University of Göttingen is deservedly celebrated, and contains about 800 students of different nations, and 60 professors. There are besides several Colleges and a number of well established schools throughout the Electorate. In general, education is much attended to.
In respect to Divine Worship, Lutheranism is the established Religion, but all others enjoy a perfect toleration and are publicly exercised. Difference in religious sentiments here, give no interruption to that harmony which should subsist among fellow citizens. There are 750 Lutheran parishes, 14 Reformed Communities, a Roman College, a Convent, and some Catholic Churches.
