LONDON, May 5.
STATE of the TOULON FLEET.
The town is now distracted by such a multiplicity of important events, that something even of the public asperity against lord Melville had subsided, and a higher degree of fear and interest abroad eclipses the operation of private feeling and prosecution at home. In a word, as all things are of relative importance, and the first concern of a people is to be secure from a foreign foe, the zeal and animosity against the delinquents of the tenth report have, in a good measure been diverted into another channel, and turned with no common violence against that part of our administration which superintends the naval department. The clamor indeed is general, but the complaint is almost wholly without reason.
It now appears that the French have taken the war into their own hands; that we have all along been dreaming of our maritime super-eminence, and that the system of blockade upon which we relied so much, has proved in its event, destructive and ineffectual; ruinous to our vessels exposed to the casualties and violence of the weather, and unequal to the confinement of the enemy.
The French fleet has not only escaped from Toulon, but is employed in beating round the whole circuit of the Mediterranean coast, to the relief of the blockaded enemy; they are enabled to raise the siege at every port and our force is not strong enough to oppose their entrance.
It is credited from general report that the Toulon fleet upon its escape immediately sailed to Cadiz, where sir John Orde who was stationed, at the mouth of the harbor, was not in sufficient power to engage them. At this point however evidence fails us; it is known that the French fleet almost immediately left Cadiz; whether accompanied by the Spanish fleet or not, is the subject of doubt.
Some who are very bold in their conjecture, believe that the Spanish admiral was compelled to sail, though his ships were unmanned, and his preparations almost deficient, and that the combined fleet had proceeded straight forward to release about 7 sail of the line in the port of Ferrol; thus making a general circle of deliverance and Oyer. Terminer round the coast, and enabling themselves, by these means to enjoy a superiority in the Mediterranean.
The Glory, of 98 guns, is hourly expected at Spithead, with Admiral sir John Orde on board. Orders have been sent to him to repair thither, and to strike his flag.
The growlers complain that sir John Orde did not attack the Toulon fleet, notwithstanding its great superiority of force; but they forgot that six line of battle ships were ready to put to sea from Cadiz, to increase the fearful odds against his little squadron.
Some think that it would have been advisable for sir John Orde to have effected an immediate junction with our fleet off Ferrol, and gone in close pursuit of the enemy, when they could have had but a day or two start of him, even at the risk of letting out the ships there, which, having no troops, and not forming part of any expedition, could have done less injury. But we doubt whether sir John Orde could have had authority for such a proceeding.
A private letter, of the 2nd, from the Hague, says,
"In Italy there are now 100,000 Frenchmen in arms, partly to prevent the remote possibility of hostile attempts, and partly to give weight, if necessary, to the plan for the extension of the new frontiers of that kingdom. As early as the fifteenth of February, secret orders were given, under certain circumstances, to act offensively on the Adige. Prince Joseph still persists in his refusal to accept the crown of Italy.
It is now Bonaparte's intention to cede it, at some future period, to Eugene Beauharnais, and, by this stipulation, to give a proof of his condescension and moderation at a general peace. The president cost the Milanese twenty millions of livres; the king must prove much more expensive."
Extract of a letter from Cadiz.
"CADIZ, 12th April, 1805.
"I wrote you last post (the 9th instant,) all the news which occurred till ten o'clock at night, respecting the Toulon squadron. That night, and the following morning, the Spanish fleet of five line of battle ships and a frigate joined them. The St. Rafael, another Spanish line of battle ship (a 90,) ran aground, it is strongly presumed by design of the commander, Montes. The wind being moderate, and the sea calm, no hurt happened, but Montes appeared little inclined to
follow, when the officers from the general of this navy department, as well as from admiral Alava, obliged him to sail about twenty four hours after the others; so that yesterday, 6 o'clock in the morning, she was out of sight, and her junction with the fleet is of course supposed. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning an English brig of war hove in sight, but disappeared in the afternoon, and since then we have seen nothing else.
"It must be confessed, that the French do not appear to be so great bunglers in navy affairs as they were during the revolution: all the ships appeared to be in the best state; they came from off Cartagena in thirty hours, and in the morning of the day before yesterday, were seen in full sail, and in great order, keeping their line with much exactness."
A deputation of West India merchants waited upon Mr. Pitt, within these few days, requesting of him information respecting the probable safety of our possessions in the West Indies. Mr. Pitt regretted that he was not at liberty to say precisely what had been done; but he assured them such measures had been adopted as would not only render the islands secure, but afford every possible protection to the trade.
May 11.
Major Gwynn arrived yesterday at lord Camden's office, with dispatches from the leeward islands, containing the particulars of the recent operations of the enemy's squadron in that quarter. They also confirm our former statement of the safe arrival of the Cork fleet, under convoy of the Protege, with 3000 troops on board, 1000 of whom were landed at Barbadoes, and the remainder distributed among the other islands which are now considered to be in a very respectable state of defence. Advices were at the same time received at the admiralty, the nature of which has not yet publicly transpired; but we understand that admiral Cochrane has reached his destination, and that the date of the last accounts he had failed in pursuit of the enemy's squadron, from which he was then distant only a few hours sail. Accounts of a most satisfactory description may therefore be very shortly expected from that quarter.
On Monday the 30th of April one of the deepest falls of snow ever remembered at this time of the year fell in the vicinity of Sheffield.
MONTEGO BAY, (Jam.) May 25.
Extract of a letter from Green Island, of the 23d inst.
"Yesterday afternoon intelligence was received of a privateer being to windward of this port. Lieut. Prior, with 30 men, of his majesty's brig Papillon, being fortunately here in a sloop belonging to Mr. Hill of Westmoreland, & having a 5 pounder on board, was enabled with the assistance of the shipping in this bay, to get out in a short time. Off David's Cove, a schooner was observed that looked very suspicious, upon which Mr. Prior hoisted American colours, to decoy her down; but seeing the sloop so near in shore, they did not think proper to bear down until seven o'clock, when, finding the sloop was steering a direct course for the west end of Cuba, they came down with sweeps: the sloop's men were ordered below, and to be ready with their arms when called. At a quarter past 8 she was within hail, fired three muskets, and asked what vessel it was: being answered the American sloop Betsey, from Green Island bound to Charleston, with a load of rum, they desired a boat to be sent on board; but being told it was left at the port they sailed from, the privateer ordered the sloop to lower the different sails, down, naming one after the other, which was complied with; they then sent the boat with six armed men, to examine the sloop; but on coming alongside & demanding a pass, they immediately fired two pistols as a signal to the schooner which instantly discharged a gun and a volley of musketry. The action then began between the two vessels, and lasted an hour. A man from the privateer swam to the sloop, who informed that there were ten men killed and drowned. The captain, who was one of the former, and the second captain one of the latter. The privateer's men, expecting the vessel would sink, struck their colours, but, being dark, it was not observed by the sloop. At last they began to pull with some of their sweeps, it being quite calm, but the sloop soon lost sight of them. In all probability the schooner went down. The sloop had two men wounded."
NEW YORK, July 2.
Captain La Chapelle, of the schooner Fanny, who arrived this morning from Bordeaux, informs that on the 11th of May, two ships of the line, filled with troops, sailed from Rochefort. Their destination was unknown at Bordeaux.
Before the Fanny left Bordeaux, there had been a general illumination throughout France, in consequence of the coronation of Bonaparte as king of Italy. Gaiety and liveliness were the order of the day. No noise or rumor of war was heard in the interior, while every thing indicated prosperity, happiness and peace.

SATURDAY, JULY 6.
Thursday being the anniversary of our national Independence, a number of respectable young men convened at the Washington Hotel, and partook of a sumptuous repast, the management of which reflects great honor on the taste of Mr. Mott. After the cloth was removed the following Toasts were drank, and the utmost harmony and hilarity prevailed during the whole day:—
 1. The day we celebrate: May each succeeding anniversary add lustre to its glory.  2. The memory of our beloved Washington: May his virtues, magnanimity, courage and zeal be deeply implanted in the hearts of his countrymen.  3. The memory of those departed heroes who fought and fell in the defence of our rights and liberties.  4. The President of the United States: May he be governed in performing the functions of his office by a love of virtue, equity and justice.  5. The Vice-President: May he execute the duties of his office with assiduity and attention.  6. The Secretary of State: His splendid talents and innumerable virtues.  7. The memory of Alexander Hamilton: May his illustrious deeds and actions never be obliterated from the memory of the American nation.  8. Our navy in the Mediterranean: May the courage, prowess, and the exertions of its officers, be sufficiently energetic to release the American captives from Tripolitan slavery and restore to them peace and tranquility.  9. The American Flag: May its stripes lash its enemies, and its stars illuminate the world.  10. The people of the United States: May they prosper, live in peace and happiness, and always be able to protect their commerce.  11. The state of Virginia: May the hospitality of its inhabitants never be subverted.  12. The Commerce of Alexandria: May it flourish, and the opulence of its inhabitants increase.  13. The Louisiana Territory: The fertility of its lands and its inestimable qualities.  14. The economy and industry of our eastern states.  15. The Liberty of the Press without licentiousness.  16. All that Love can give and Sensibility enjoy.  17. The American Fair, may Virtue possess their Hearts and Felicity their Habitations.

The patriotic defender of his country's rights—John Randolph, of Virginia.
Extract of a letter from a correspondent at Bermuda, to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, received by the sloop Governor Gore, arrived at New York on Monday dated
Bermuda, June 16th.
"The Manhattan is waiting for a change of wind, to haul from her present situation in the harbor of St. George's into Murray's anchorage, when she can proceed to sea without any difficulty, as the men to navigate her, who are daily expected from New York, shall arrive. On the 18th inst. captain Beresford of the Cambrian frigate went on board and took away, or rather impressed the boatswain, alledging as a reason for his conduct, that he had understood he was an English subject, but said that on his arrival at New York, for which place he should sail immediately, he would give him an opportunity to prove his citizenship, and would restore him if he was satisfied he was an American. The boatswain, whose name is Peter Anderson,—had a protection which captain B. refused to look at,) and he has a father & mother, wife and family, residing in some part of N. York.
"The schooner Baltimore which was captured 8th March last by the Cambrian, on her passage from St. Domingo to Baltimore, arrived there on the 20th following; but owing to the unaccountable delay in the vice-admiralty court, and the indolence of the judge (Dr. Terrett) her trial did not come on till the 17th May; and the decree, by which she was restored, was not given in till the 3d inst. A similar loss of time was suffered before the Manhattan and cargo were tried; and likewise with the brig Nancy, which was detained on her passage from the Cape of Good Hope to Norfolk, on the 13th March, arrived here
the 23d, and was tried the 1st inst. since when no farther proof has been required by the judge; but she is restored to the claimant, on bail, and will sail for Norfolk in four or five days.
Arrived last evening, the Spanish privateer schr. Mary, Anthony Lobo, master, mounting 8 guns, taken on her passage from Sandy Hook to Porto Rico, by the boats of the Cambrian frigate and Drive sloop of war, by boarding in a calm, with three men belonging to the Cambrian were killed.
This privateer captured on the 5th inst. the ship Hunter, captain —, on her passage from Norfolk to Malta, laden with naval stores for the American squadron in the Mediterranean; and on the 8th inst. the ship Charles Carter, Tompkins, bound from Wilmington to Falmouth (Eng.) both of which were recaptured off this island on the 8th inst. by two British letters of marque.
Two of the sailors belonging to the above mentioned ships, told me (beside what I have related) that the privateer had two puncheons of rum and a large hog on board, which had been plundered from American vessels near Sandy-hook, but they did not know to what port the letters of marque had ordered their prizes."
We yesterday mentioned that captain Thackara had spoken a ship from Malaga for Boston, the captain of which said he had passed Gibraltar with lord Nelson's fleet, and that they were bound off Brest. By the last Boston papers, we find that the ship, commanded by captain Hall, is arrived at Boston, and reports, that he passed Gibraltar in company with lord Nelson's fleet on the 6th of May, and that he kept company and parted with them on the 13th off Cape St. Vincents. As lord Nelson came out of the Mediterranean on the 6th, and stood 7 days to the northward, and as far as Cape St. Vincents, it is highly probable he was on a wrong scent supposing that the combined fleet were gone for Brest, followed them there, missing them, will probably go on to England. And if we take into view the English accounts, he will arrive in good time to be ordered to the West Indies; or lest such of the blockading squadron off Brest as may be ordered to the West Indies at a rate we cannot find that any fleet of consequence can leave England or those seas, to follow the combined fleet before the 20th of May, and may arrive about 1st of June.
[Phil. True Amer.]
The Enquirer of Tuesday last, with simplicity highly amusing, and a degree of honesty into which the editor we presume inadvertently fell, has summed up in a few words, the essence of Virginia republicanism, as the democrats call it. In speaking of the dissensions of the warmest democratic patriots in this state, the Enquirer observes
"If from the large mass of republicans who have already distinguished themselves by their exertions against the common enemy, & have not yet mixed & interfered in this internal dissention, all the principal offices of the government which will soon be vacant could be filled, one great source of heartburning and animosity would be effectually dried up."
Is not this as much as to say that all the labor, anxiety, and "heartburning" of democratic patriots is only a scuffling for the loaves and fishes? (Virg. Gaz.)
The following extraordinary circumstance we learn from Husum, of the 30th ult. lately occurred at Tonningen:
The master of an English vessel lying there, was ordered by the captain of the guard ship to slack his cable, which he did till he could slack no more; he was then ordered to cut which he refused to do, saying he would, or could not if the king himself was there. In consequence of this reply the Danish captain sent a party of men on board the English vessel, who brought the master on board the Danish ship, and he was there flogged severely by order of their captain. The Dane in vindication of his conduct says, the master of the English vessel damned the king of Denmark; this charge however has been refuted by a number of witnesses who were present when the altercation took place. A petition, praying for redress, signed by about 50 English masters of vessels, has been sent to our ambassador at Copenhagen. (London paper.)
Russian Discipline.—No army in Europe equals the Russian, in the resemblance it bears to a machine moved by the word of command. An amusing instance of this is given in a French work which was published some time ago. It occurred when the Empress Elizabeth was carrying on war against the King of Prussia. The army being then on the frontiers of Germany,

small picquet was placed at some distance from the camp, with the view of watching the motions of the Prussian troops. The soldiers employed in this service were supplied with provisions. The enemy however came on un-expectedly from a different quarter, and a battle ensued, which entirely drove from the mind of the commander all thoughts of his picquet. Some days after, however, enquiries to be made through the army, if any one had seen or heard of it. The answers were all in the negative, upon which a messenger was dispatched to the place where they were found, fixed to the spot, and re-duced to the last extremity of hunger, but never thinking of moving. On being asked why, when their provisions failed, they had not returned to the camp? They were astonished at the question. They had no orders.
The Russians regard as their most interesting concerns, the conquest of that part of the Persian Empire which lays conveniently for their trade. Ten years have given to the Russians the correct view of the trade of Persia from the able investi-gation of Pallas. The Persian trade had not been profitable. The tribute from the raw silk, especially in specie from out of the country; the exports for the fisheries; the importation of raw cotton and madder, and the galls which are not furnished from the few oak forests in their temperate southern climates. To these he adds that the manufactured goods, annually im-ported from Persia, may be reckoned at 100,000 rubles. Pallas then observes that the Russians made new advances in their exports. That Co-chineal was the most considerable and most lucra-tive. From Astracan annually are exported a thousand poods, at 300 rubles a pood. Indigo was formerly a good article, but since some con-quests in Multan, it had been brought from La-hore to Persia and thence to Astracan. The ex-ports in cloths may amount to 150,000 rubles, velvet from 15 to 20,000, and other articles to 40,000 rubles. Sugar is exported to the value of 20,000 rubles. He then observes, "As the balance thereof, to trade with Persia is against us it is worthy of investigation in what manner our commercial intercourse could be rendered, if not profitable, at least detrimental to the interest of the Empire, and in my opinion, we possess the means of effecting that desirable purpose." [Salem Register.]
PROVINCE OF UTRECHT.
[The following remonstrance of the inha-bitants of the province of Utrecht a-gainst the new constitution of Holland contains an ingenious and spirited protest against the inquisition of that form of government by the hands of a fo-reign nation.]
"All the undersigned citizens and inhabi-tants of Utrecht, to the president and mem-bers of the state directory of the Batavian republic."
FELLOW CITIZENS,
"A new plan of a constitution being a-gain proposed to the Batavian people, in order to its being subjected, without delay, to their assent or rejection, and as we have it not in our power to make known the reasons for our dissent at the time of voting, we take the liberty to inform you, that after minute investigation and mature considera-tion of the said plan, the same appeared to us, far from amending the present consti-tution; to be on the contrary, liable to produce, much greater evil, which soon-er or later, must necessarily proceed therefrom to the nation; and we there-fore feel no difficulty in stating that the plan, according to our view of it, is at variance with the interest of the people of Batavia, and republican liberty, for which her ancestors have sacrificed so much blood and treasure. It appears from the contents of this plan, that
I. "The possessions and property of the inhabitants are left at the mercy of the most arbitrary dispositions of the political power, the experience whereof has prov-ed of great injury to so many eminent inhabitants from the year 1795, down to the present time, without obtaining any redress, notwithstanding their just complaints have been presented against these abuses; which is the cause of so much dissatisfaction at this time.
II. "That, by the said plan, justice, and the course of the law, that palladium and sacred support of liberty, which was still left free by the present constitution, and which ought always to remain free to all the inhabitants in all cases, is impeded, and can be suborned in the most arbitrary manner which cannot be limited by any constitution since it is the incontrovertible right of every member of this society.
III. "That the supreme power is plac-ed above every law, and a most unlimited, nay despotic authority, is committed to one person, as it were, under the old title of pensionary of the council, a power much greater and more extensive than ever be-longed to the ancient courts of Holland, and to the late Stadtholders, nay, which e-ven exceeds that of a constitutional king,
there being abandoned to him without the least limitation first.
"The whole supreme administration of the national pecuniary means, to dispose of them according to his pleasure.
2. "The free disposal of the whole mili-tary force of the country, as well by sea as land.
3. "The arbitrary nomination of all high functionaries, and the free appoint-ment of the administration of the place where the government resides, to the pre-judice of the right of its inhabitants to the free election of their own magis-trates.
4. "The exclusive right of alone mak-ing propositions in the assembly of their high mightinesses, and the limitation of the power of that assembly, which cannot deliberate on any other subjects but such as are proposed to it by him; thus when he is silent, all are silent, and a deadly lethargy ensues.
5. "That that he is made accountable to no man, but only to the supreme being, who is contemplated with far too much loose-ness and liberty; for there being no ruling or distinguished religion established, surely a wide door is open for every body's con-science, upon which the people of Batavia must entirely depend, and embark all their concerns.
"A power, therefore, of which one of the members of the legislative assembly has justly observed, that if the person who possesses it be a Cato, managing the re-public wisely and honestly, the common-wealth may possibly be happy for the time being; but on the contrary, if he be a Caesar, it must stoop under his controul.
"And is it now eligible and prudent for the inhabitants of this country to adopt a plan of a constitution of that nature upon an uncertainty, and for the nation to be hazarded upon the chance whether a Cato or a Caesar shall be at any time placed at its head? With great reason did the aforesaid member exhort the inhabitants of this country to watch diligently over this point, that they might not deliver themselves up indiscriminately to despotism and violence, and thus suffer themselves to be fettered with bonds of slavery.
"These are the reasons, citizens, why we, as well for us as our posterity, are nei-ther willing nor able to resolve upon the acceptance of a constitution, by which, under the specious forms of old names or titles, the most arbitrary government may be introduced.
"Far be it, nevertheless, that by this rejection of the proposed plan, we should be understood to approve of the existing constitution in the whole, and that we should not be considered as disposed to agree with you in any wise improvement of a more concentrated administration; no, the contrary is the fact! for if we are to speak out what we think, and what our hearts dictate, we have experienced none but unfortunate years since the revolution of 1795; and the sounding words of equality, liberty, and fraternity, of Ba-tavian liberty, of unity and indivisibility, of a pretended patriotism, and of a far-famed and loud cry of love of our country have produced none but the bitterest fruits to the principal part of the nation, to those who have not enriched themselves by the treasures levied at so dear a rate.
"We long therefore for a change, but at the same time for an improvement; and nothing will be more agreeable to us, this we speak confidently in the name of the whole nation, than, after being so long tossed to and fro, to see for once, a good plan of a constitution offered, resting solely on the basis of rights, of equity, and of sound politics, by which liberty and divine wor-ship should be maintained, every individu-al protected in the possession of his lawful property, justice exercised without imped-iment, so that even the meanest inhabitant may obtain his due right, and by which the supreme power may not be placed a-bove the law, and a sovereign and unlim-ited authority not entrusted to any single individual, whosoever he may be, and by whatever appellation he may be distinguish-ed.
"And how greatly it is to be lamented, citi-zens, that in the present instance, an inconfi-dent enthusiasm should have deviated so far from the union, and placed every thing upon a vague foundation; and from the union, by which our republic, under the blessing of God, had risen to the highest summit of felicity; from the union, by which every man's real liberty was pro-vided for, and divine worship duly maintained, without tyranny or compulsion of conscience; and all predominance of one province over the others was duly prevented; and by which, you yourselves have not obscurely hinted in your note, to the legislative body, the country has experi-enced such happiness during two centuries.
"And if this be true, as it is undoubtedly, can the nation desire any other plan of a consti-tution, than such a one as being purged, from all
former defects, as much as is consistent with the present circumstances, shall be principally found-ed upon the union?
"If, however, the critical circumstances in which we are involved by a ruinous war, require for that period a concentrated administration, to give more energy to the decrees which are to be passed for the welfare of our country; well then, in that case, let us follow the steps of the ancient Romans, and appoint until the peace, or for a limited time, five years at the longest, a dicta-tor, after the Roman manner; let us name even the intended person (Schimmelpennick) to this pre-eminent, and let all necessary power and authority be entrusted provisionally to him, with-out impairing the people's liberty and justice; but let us by no means deprive the nation there-of for ever, under a constitution, the consequence of which may be the most arbitrary oppression, under which we must suffer and endure violence, or be reduced to the disagreeable necessity (like so many other respectable families, which have already removed their residence to other coun-tries) of quitting this our native soil, once so free; but to the introducing of this constitution, and of necessity, we can never give our assent, after so many sacrifices as we have made to li-berty; we must, therefore in giving our suffrage, reject the proposed plan with the most decided negative.
Utrecht, April 4, 1805.
FURTHER ADVICES,
From London Papers received at the office of the Phil. True American.
LONDON, May 5.
This week has been full of conjectures and fears in the mercantile world. The two principal objects of agitation have been the escape of the Toulon fleet, and the proceedings of the French squadron in the West-Indies.
Let us see whether the escape from Tou-lon cannot easily be vindicated, at least so far as relates to an accusation upon our go-vernment, and the noble admiral who com-mands on that station.
The French fleet had already made a motion of sailing up the Archipelago, and renewing the attack upon Egypt. This ar-tifice had probably been refined, and deeply laid, some ships with dispatches, fabricated for the purpose of misleading the English into an opinion of an attempt upon Egypt had doubtless been thrown into the hands of lord Nelson; at the same time his lord-ship warrantably yielding to the deception, pushed off for the coast of Sicily, lying in wait for the approach of the enemy thro' those narrow straits which they could not pass unobserved.
The French seize the opportunity of the absence of the British admiral, and a strong Levant wind, which commonly blows at this season of the year, to sail down the Mediterranean; whilst the fri-gates of observation at the mouth of the harbor are prevented by the same wind which carries the enemy to their destina-tion, from conveying the intelligence of their escape to lord Nelson, in sufficient time to overtake them or disconcert their projects.
Thus their escape is reasonably account-ed for, nor can any want of vigilance on the part of his lordship and the government attach in these circumstances.
In respect to the West-Indies, it is as-certained that the enemy had continued their ravages upon the minor islands down to the latter end of March, and no British force had arrived in that quarter to oppose them: that all the shipping in St. Kitt's had been destroyed, and property captured to a considerable amount. This intelli-gence has naturally alarmed the merchants and the tardiness of admiral Cochrane is difficult to be accounted for. Not, indeed, that there is much apprehension of exten-sive injury from the present limited force of the enemy in that quarter: they can gain little but spoil, and that little must be refunded; but it is feared that a grand at-tack is meditated upon Jamaica; that such is the destination of the combined fleet now out; that a junction will be effected for this purpose with the Rochefort squadron in the West-Indies, which is merely an ad-vanced guard to the main attack, and that, by a general co-operation, the French force will completely triumph in the West-In-dies.
Admiral Cochrane, therefore, when he arrives, will probably be compelled, like Sir John Orde, to remit proceedings until he is reinforced. And whence is this reinforcement to come, and how will the enemy be employed in the mean time? Ja-maica has no naval force, her military means of defence are considerable, though insufficient. Thus an attack would be ve-ry hazardous, and this important settle-ment would have little other dependence for her safety than a race against time.
A fleet to be dispatched from England would be long in vitualling and preparing, and the seat of our colonial empire might
be lost before it cleared harbour. Lord Nelson, therefore must be looked to for recalling victory and triumph to our arms at this crisis. If he comes up with the e-nemy, and effects a junction with Cochrane it will be sufficient, though Sir John Orde is left behind; he will then be able to con-tend with them, and the result is not am-biguous. The apprehension is, lest con-siderable mischief should be done before his arrival, and some of our important islands should be carried by a grand coup de main, and Jamaica amongst the number.
In the East Indies we have continued to triumph. Lord Lake has followed up his victory with decisive operations; the pow-er of Holkar is now so reduced that he is not likely to make head again; and as an army once vanquished, and ill disciplined particularly an oriental one, daily moulders away, there is every hope that the dangers of the Mahratta war have now subsided. We are sorry to add, that general Fraser died from his wound; an excellent officer is lost to the service.
We have nothing of continental news to offer this week. Our domestic intelligence chiefly consists of meetings to petition the king and parliament in respect to the dis-coveries of the tenth report; the meetings have everywhere been successful, and what is a great thing, temperate in their suc-cess.
The Catholic question is deferred to the 18th. Petitions are pouring in agains it.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 1, 1805. Polygraphick Painting.
THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practiced by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to execute by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New-York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON,
Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward he merited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, characterized as an original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAINTING turned to HIS FORTY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer,
"There is none more worthy than Washington." The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public.
To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a PAINTING, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glazing—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures.—The price also is reduced so as to leave, comparative merits, no object.
Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol Hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their subscription papers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery.
Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE PORTRAITS
Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple.
One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Gadsby's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer, to Robert Gray's, King Street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names.
The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the U. States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed.
