THE HAVANNA.
The letters from which the following extracts have been made, were put into our hands by a friend; if we are not much mistaken, they will be found to contain very interesting information to the commercial part of the community. They were accompanied with several Havana newspapers, in Spanish from which we have extracted a list of vessels, that, tho' appearing under Spanish colors, will be recognized by many anxious readers in this city as American. If any gentleman wishes to peruse the papers, he may be gratified by calling at this office.
(N. 2. Even. Post.)
Extract of letters from the Havanna, November 3.
"Since my last the governor has refused to clear out any vessels for the coast of Africa, in consequence of an exclusive privilege granted to the marquis Colonillo of Spain, to import 6000 negroes into this island, in foreign vessels. This privilege will commence to operate from and after the last day of December next; and will disarrange the plans of a great number of American as well as English merchants, who had laid out their accounts to make fortunes here in that trade. The number of negroes required for this island is beyond any calculation yet made, as the number already imported does not exceed, as I am informed, upwards of twelve thousand.
"The consulate have drawn up a strong and spirited remonstrance against this privilege, and sent it forward to the king; and are supported by planters and all parties. Since the promulgation of the licence or order, negroes have risen in price from 20 to 30 dollars per head; and will look up towards the close of the year; notwithstanding the heads of departments say that they shall after the last day of December, continue to admit vessels with negroes, until they hear from the king; in answer to their memorial or remonstrance, but they cannot be depended upon.
"There are but few Americans here now, but as flour and lumber are now admitted in Spanish vessels from the United States, and horses in American vessels, I do suppose that there will be a great number in here, in the course of the winter; as the government does not as was supposed, and as the Spanish merchants wished, hunt the strangers down and turn them out of the country.
"The marquis is yet here, and as the winter is coming on fast, will I believe take passage in the ship Narciso, commanded by Mr. Facio, of Philadelphia, bound for that place, and which will sail in eight or ten days.
"On Friday last arrived at this port, a French commissary from the Cape, accompanied by his family and secretary. He wants money, and I do suppose has some commercial plans in view, as he leaves his family here until his return from New Orleans, where he goes in a few weeks on some business for his government; and more than probable, is charged with some arrangements to be made in that province, previous to its being given up to his nation; it being now reduced to a certainty, that the order from his Catholic majesty to that effect, has been received here by the captain general of that province, and of the Floridas; it is to be given up to the French in the same state as it was received from them by the Spaniards.
"I have lately written to the secretary of state, informing him of the permission granted for flour and lumber, and also of the arrival of the commissary here, and when I learn the object of his mission, shall inform him immediately, as I really believe that one half of our countrymen do not believe that New Orleans will be given up by the Spaniards.
"There are several other vessels here which will be sailing soon for New York, by which you shall hear from me again.
"It is also said, that two commissioners will arrive soon, to take charge of the country, with ten thousand troops; and that it is to be delivered up in the same fashion to the French as it was received from them by the Spaniards.
"Several vessels have lately been captured on the coast and brought into this port for smuggling, or on suspicion, having been found in the harbors to windward; and, as the Spaniards say, with orders, to land their cargoes off the little harbors.
"Freights are now done to Spain for less than four dollars, and the United States for one dollar per box; and vessels will not bring any price, although there
are a great many here for sale, and the best ships that ever entered the port, or were ever built in the United States.
"November 8.
"The Packet arrived from Spain on Saturday night, and brings a confirmation of what I wrote you respecting New Orleans; it also brings the answer of his majesty to the memorial of the consulado, respecting the admission of lumber from the U. States in American vessels, and to carry away in return therefore rum and molasses. His majesty has refused to grant their request as to American vessels, but has granted it as to Spanish; therefore, Spanish vessels can now go from thence to the U. States and carry rum, molasses, and it is said brown sugar, and bring from thence lumber or horses. However this may lead to something else."

From the (New-York) EVENING POST. NUMBER 1.
A free people are jealous of their rights. Mankind, independent of education, revolt at the idea of controul. Reluctance marks every surrender of natural liberty, and suspicion fixes her eagle eye on those with whom it originates. We are led to view with complacency any measure which would flatter this favorite propensity, and hastily to condemn as treasonous and absurd the movements of an opposite policy.
Demagogues have therefore in every age assumed the garb of Freedom. Tho' not the first in unfurling her banners, they have ever been the loudest declaimers in her cause, and have possessed the liveliest sensibility to her interests. Error is best detected by that very anxiety with which she would conceal her pretensions. For the fear of discovery, naturally clothes itself in extravagant professions, beneath whose veil, self interest eludes that observation which it would be fatal to endure.
Ours is a free nation, and as such must feel the ardor of freemen. Despotism has not yet sealed us in her slumber. Party politics have repeatedly kindled the animosities, and have at length begun to impair the vigours of the Union. Here error has found a congenial residence. To obtain the confidence of a people still glowing with revolutionary enthusiasm, and holding sacred the name of Liberty; nothing more was necessary than to kindle a hypocritical glow, and swell the tone of popular declamation. From the Restrum
and from the Press have issued the ravings of pretended enthusiasm, the anathemas of affected zeal. Through chicanery and intrigue, freedom has been their passport to power, whose actions possess not her spirit, and bore only the semblance of her sanction.
Hypocrisy however daring in project or successful in execution, will sometimes betray a glimpse of real character. With us she has indeed too long worn the mask successfully. Borne high on the tide of popularity, she swells into unbounded confidence & defies the efforts of those who by the sober influence of reason, would dispel her delusions. But she will find here are those who are too enlightened to be the dupes of her pretensions, and too well guarded by principle be to the victims of persuasion. There are those who penetrate the flimsy exterior of profession and detect beneath an insinuating alacrity, and an imposing zeal the sons of insincerity and of crime. Among us Democracy (however flattering may be her present prospects) can not long flourish. Every day is adding to the list of her disgrace, as it discloses the catalogue of her crimes. Where is now the boasted millenium of her enthusiasts? Where those golden hours of promised tranquility—that system policy of which should have relieved the public burthens, and discharged the public debt? Alas! instead of relief from European controversy, we are assiduously involved in a piratical warfare: instead of that equitable taxation which apportions tribute to right; the earnings of industry are levied for the pleasure of the great, and wealth is suffered to enjoy with a comparative exemption from expence, the rights and privileges of citizens. Have we not seen the sanctuary of justice violated? the connection between merit and preferment dissolved, and the rewards of aged patriotism lavished on the inexperience of the stripling? And is this the era of reason and of right. Is it not rather the harvest-home of the Partizan and the Demagogue ?—Yes, instead of the promised elysium of the Terrorist , we are witnessing the approaches of national degradation; and unless the progress of conviction be as extensive as has been the delusion, we shall have to deplore in experience, that error which reason could not reform.
To the sacred tribunal of just rectitude ever makes her appeal, and from that tribunal error receives her sentence. Those expectations which sprang from the illusions of democracy have vanished into thin air; and that ignorance which was deaf to the remonstrances of truth, is learning conviction in the severer school of experience. The momentary depression of federalism, is therefore by no means an event which should call for the regrets, or deepen the despondence of its votaries. Though we may have been the dupes of political innovation, we are not yet the victims of political phrensy. The gloom of prejudice and of passion depresses, & the ignis fatuus of democracy contracts the sphere of its perceptions. But while the progress of truth, though slow is certain, it is to be lamented that such an apathy subsists to its diffusion. Now at the very crisis of destiny—now, when every nerve should be strung, every principle of action roused into exercise, it is astonishing to observe the same indifference which has hitherto been adopted from motives of policy, still prevailing. They who leave to fortune and to time the fateful reform of the nation, betray a want of discernment as men and an unpardonable coldness as the friends of their country. With the advocates of democracy, alas! such indifference is not to be found. Occasion never summons them in vain; neither bribery nor deception are spared to propitiate a favorite policy, and every effort is attended by an earnestness and a zeal which deserve a better cause.

November 29, fell in with the wreck of the brig Brutus , Ala Price , master, of and from Rochester in Massachusetts, bound to Guadalupe. She failed from Rochester on the 4th November. The deposition of the mate Shubael Norton , says, "On the 5th, continued our course, wind blowing north, squally with rain. Same night altered our course to south, keeping before the sea, having handed main-top-sail. At 10 carried away fore lifts and fore top sail sheet, hove to under main stay sail, still blowing very hard, in the Gulph Stream. At 11 a sea struck her on her larboard quarter, when she immediately upset. The captain was laying in his cabin on the larboard side of the vessel; and, from his not being seen afterwards, supposed that the flour which was stowed in the cabin had stopped the passage to the gangway, and prevented his getting upon deck.
"By this time the vessel had filled with water, laying on the larboard side, and her masts in the water upwards of seven hours. Cut away fore shrouds, masts went away and vessel righted, the gale of wind increasing. Waded to the after hatchway (the only part of the vessel out of water) and got water and provisions, which we hauled to the fore castle, the sea breaking over us, and in danger of being washed away from the wreck. Lost our cabin, and could not cook. Remained in this deplorable situation from the 5th to the 29th November, when the ship Richard hove to, sent her boat and took us on board."

Captain Perrin , of the ship Richard , arrived here yesterday from London, picked up in the Gulph Stream, from the wreck of the brig Brutus of Rochester, Shubael Norton , mate; Andrew , Southward , Nathaniel Snow , George Barlow , Seth Barlow , and Alwin Paelse , seamen; and Christopher Ronkel , a boy; who request us thus publicly to express their warmest gratitude to captain Perrin for his humanity.
The captain of the Brutus perished with the wreck.

A particular account of this unfortunate circumstance will be found amongst our marine articles.
It must be highly honourable to the character of captain Perrin, and a lasting source of pleasure for his reflection, when it is mentioned that the captain of no less than eleven vessels, who fell a sacrifice to the unhappy mariners during the 24 days they remained on the wreck, saved them from perishing notwithstanding their repeated signals of distress!!
December 6.
The fast-sailing English ship Richard, capt. Perrin, arrived at this port yesterday, in 42 days from London, and 30 from the Lizard-Point. She left London on the 16th, and the Downs on the 24th Oct. bringing papers to the 21st.
In addition to the articles subjoined from papers to the 16th (with which gen. Jy-son has obligingly favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser) a gentleman who came passenger in the Richard, informs us, that the English government had ordered a number of men at war to be in readiness for sea; that several had failed from Portsmouth, supposed to be destined for the Mediterranean; and that the interference of the French government in the affairs of Switzerland excited in the minds of some politicians an apprehension of a renewal of hostilities between France and Great-Britain.
Commerce in England rather languid. American produce rather low.
Andreossi, the minister from France to the British court, had not yet arrived at London; nor had Lord Whitworth gone to Paris.
LONDON, October 13.
Paris papers to the 10th instant were received yesterday. The interesting state of affairs in Switzerland has induced us to make some copious extracts; though we confess that the accounts from that quarter, which we had so anxiously expected, throw no light on the posture of affairs there. A mass of skirmishes, insurrections and alarms, are resounded from every quarter. The proclamation of Bonaparte had not yet reached there, by the latest intelligence. It is probable that, without a strong French army to back it, it will produce very little effect in the present heated state of men's minds. It appears, however, that in every quarter where they come to an engagement, the friends of freedom and independence triumph.
The chief cause of distraction proceeds from the inveterate animosity between the inhabitants of the towns and those of the country. This jealousy, which has already given symptoms of an explosion, in the Cantons of Bale, will, if not suppressed, prove a more terrible foe to Swiss liberty than the arms of Bonaparte.
The Paris journals tend to confirm the intelligence we laid before the public yesterday from Gibraltar, relative to the Neapolitan troops being expected to take possession of Malta. It would seem that the French are even now diligently concerting measures for again attempting the reduction of Egypt. It was here alone that Bonaparte was baffled; that French vanity was irretrievably mortified. The cession of two ports on the African coast to the French, it true, is pregnant with consequences, and seems to justify our retaining Malta, but the same intelligence informs us that this latter place is evacuated. We cannot suppose, however, that France has any immediate intention of attempting an enterprize, which, in circumstances more favourable to her, produced no consequence but defeat and disgrace. The superiority of our naval power must prevent her from forming any distant establishment, provided we bend all our force to prevent it. France can, at this moment, have no object in going to war with us. It would only prove the destruction of her infant commerce, which she cherishes with so much attention. She would even make sacrifices to maintain the peace, and it cannot be doubted, that a vigorous interference on our part, would produce an alteration in her measures, both with regard to Germany, Switzerland, and Egypt.
October 14.
Yesterday arrived a mail from Holland, but it brought no intelligence of importance. The Amsterdam Courant contains a report, that the French troops have received orders to pass the Rhine, in case of there shall appear any delay in terminating the indemnities.
It is said, that a change is about to take
place the government of the Batavian Republic, and that the Directorial will be changed for the consular form of government.
The Prince of Orange wishes, it is said to resign all his dignities to his son, the Hereditary Prince and go to sleep.
A Grand Master of the order of Malta has at length been chosen. Out of the candidates presented the Pope fixed upon Prince Ruspoli an Italian, who will no doubt, be very independent of all French influence! The Neapolitan troops which agreeably to the treaty of Amiens are to form the garrison for a year after the island is given up to the Knights, or until the latter are able to provide for its defence in some other way judged eligible by the powers which guarantee its independence, failed on the 10th September. The island, therefore, will soon be entirely evacuated. It is evident, however, that the guarantee being so inadequate, and the Neapolitan garrison necessarily under French influence, to give up Malta at all is to surrender it to France. Ministers, however, in agreeing to the treaty of Amiens, must have been aware of that alternative.

We do not learn that M. Andreossi is yet ready to leave Paris for this country. Whatever may be the cause of delay in his coming, whether real or pretended, we are inclined to think that Lord Whitworth will not depart for France till the French Ambassador shall have arrived here.
Yesterday we received the Moniteur of the 10th inst. It is principally filled with a continuation of the official details of the proceedings of the Deputation of the Empire at Ratisbon, the substance of which has been anticipated by other papers. There is also an account of the celebration of a Fete at Turin on the 26th September, in honor of the union of Piedmont with the French Republic. The Moniteur cautiously avoids communicating any intelligence from Switzerland.
It is intended by the government of the Batavian Republic to prepare the port of Helvoetsluys for the reception of large vessels, that it may serve instead of the Road of the Texel, and the Vile, which is not so safe as the former, for navigation.
Near thirty vessels are either preparing, or ready to sail from Bourdeaux for the French colonies.
October 16.
The affairs of Switzerland have reached a crisis which may decide the fate of that unhappy country. The Helvetic army having been completely defeated on the 3d inst. by the patriots before Avrenches, were compelled to retreat in great disorder to Moudon. Lausanne was in consequence thrown into the greatest alarm, & nothing less was talked of than the retreat of the government to Geneva, when on a sudden, the next morning, the French Adjutant-General Rapp, entered Lausanne, with the proclamation of the First Consul, with which he repaired to the Senate, accompanied by Verninac, the French Minister. The Senate, after hearing the proclamation read, with a baseness & meanness peculiar to itself, but which might have been expected from its previous conduct, decreed, that it received with gratitude that new testimony of the benevolence of the First Consul towards the Helvetic people. That an expiring faction should receive with gratitude a measure which appeared to it calculated to restore its lost power, may easily be conceived; but that it should dare to denominate such an outrage upon humanity and justice an act of benevolence towards the Helvetic people, adds another instance to the number which have already been evinced in other countries, of the blindness of petty personal interest, and the atrocity of unprincipled ambition. Rapp, having fulfilled his commission at Lausanne, immediately set off for Berne, to make the same communication to the patriots in that city. In the mean time the confederated patriots entered Moudon, which is no great distance from Lausanne, where an armistice was concluded between Vonder Weidt, the new commander in chief of the Helvetic troops, and the Berne general occupying Moudon, which it was agreed should last until information was received of the resolution taken by the committee at Berne, respecting the proclamation of the First Consul. The Berne posts were, however, advanced to the village of Monsprevegio, which is only two leagues from Lausanne. General Rapp having arrived at the head quarters of the patriots, at Berne, communicated to gen. Bachmann the proclamation of the First
Consul, & summoned him to suspend hostilities. The latter agreed to a suspension of arms, until the receipt of fresh orders from the committee at Berne. That committee having received the communications, declared, that they could not give a decisive answer to the First Consul's proclamation, but that they would refer it to the Diet at Schwitz, who alone were charged with the general direction of the affairs of Switzerland. Two members of the committee were accordingly desired to the Diet, & gen. Rapp agreed to wait their return to Berne. An armistice was then concluded, to last till the decision of the Diet at Schwitz, orders were sent to the different commanders to suspend hostilities until that event.
Thus, upon the decision of the Diet of Schwitz rests the fate of Switzerland. That the representatives of a brave and independent people will resolve tamely to submit to the arbitrary mandate of France; that they will prostrate their liberties at the feet of the French government, without making one courageous effort to defend them, we cannot believe. The spirit and patriotism already evinced by the brave and unfortunate Swiss, render it incredible that the Representatives of their principles and their feelings will be actuated by a coward panic, to surrender the freedom of their country without a struggle. The representatives of a country which gave birth to William Tell, must be indeed degenerate, if they tamely give up their birth-right at the despotic summons of a power which is endeavoring to trample upon their liberties and their privileges, without any other plea than its own ambition.
It is said in a letter from Frankfort, that a body of Austrian troops will be formed in the Tyrol & the Veralberg, to co-operate in the re-establishment of the tranquility of Switzerland. What authority there is for this statement does not appear, but we cannot believe that Austria will become an accessory to the views of France in its attack upon Switzerland, where the principle acted upon in this instance by the French Government, may be immediately afterward, with the same justice, turned against herself. We confidently hope, on the other hand, that Austria will lend her support to the Patriotic Swiss, and declare herself completely inimical to that principle which threatens to annihilate the independence, and destroy the security of Europe.
The Deputation of the Empire has held its eleventh Sitting, but the result of its deliberation has not yet transpired. The report of a Convention having been concluded between the Emperor and the Elector of Bavaria for the cession by the latter, of the Right Bank of the Inn to Austria, is contradicted by intelligence from Ratisbon, which states, upon authority, that the Elector has ratified the Treaty signed at Paris, on the 5th of September, by which all the Provisions of the Court of Munich, as fixed by the Plan of Indemnities are specially guaranteed.
The Five per Cents, are 55, 70.
Two Homburgh mails reached town yesterday; but their contents are in general anticipated by the French papers. A letter from Leghorn, dated the 19th September, states, that there are little hopes entertained of the recovery of the King of Truria; the last attack having been more violent than any of the former.
The last accounts from Petersburg state, that considerable changes are about to take place in the ministry, and it is expected that Count Woronzow will not return as Ambassador to London, but that he will fill some office of importance at Petersburg.
Mr. Dundas, we understand, will soon be called to the house of Peers by the title of Lord Ceylon.
Little doubt can be entertained that Mr. Moore is gone on an important mission to Vienna. The Emperor is the most natural ally of this country, and he is more particularly interested in the fate of Switzerland than any other power, it cannot be supposed either that he is in any degree satisfied with the arrangement of the indemnities so dictatorial chalked out by France & Russia, and the encroaching aggrandizement of Prussia. The emperor, we have no doubt, will embrace with avidity any opportunity of indulging his hatred against France; and he will probably think that it is much better to meet the worst fate in the field, than have his dominions wrested from him and his lawful power curtailed by the arm of oppression and injustice.
BASLE, October 2.
The confederation between the smaller Cantons and Berne, has been signed. They all agree to use every means in their power to drive those who constituted the Helvetic government from the Swiss territory. The other Cantons have been requested to concur in this confederation,
and to furnish troops. The insurgents are daily augmenting, and their army now amounts to 20,000 men. The ancient form of government has been established in most of the aristocratic cantons. The great and small councils have been established, with all the rights which they exercised before the year 1798; but it has been thought proper to entrust provisionally the direction of general affairs, and of government to particular committees.

The sloop Maria, Capt. G'Meara, was lying at Merchants' wharf, and is just for Norfolk on Sunday morning next.
A correspondent observes, that, if the Callender fever has sickened Mr. Jefferson he must certainly die with Paine.
(Fred. Her.)
One of the first acts, which Congress ought to do at the approaching session, should be an enquiry into the ruination of Callender's fine of two hundred dollars by the President. If Mr. Jefferson feels that he has not been wrong, his friends ought surely to court an examination of his conduct; and the federalists must prosecute it with becoming candor and firmness.
(ibid.)
An obscure democratic print addresses a piece "To the Republicans EVERY WHERE." This reminds us of the old German quack, who, living in a sequestered spot, accessible only by a winding footpath, placed a board over his door, on which was written, "The UNIVERSAL Horse Doctor lives here."
(Balance.)
It is worthy of remark, that the first thing which excited suspicions among the democrats concerning Col. Burr, was the following toast, which he gave in a mixed company at Washington:
"The union of all honest men."
It is equally worthy of remark, that the first thing that confirmed the suspicions of the democrats with respect to Col. Burr, was the suppression of a book which the author has since declared was stuffed with lies—Ah! unfortunate Col. to belong to a party which suspected you for an honest sentiment—and condemned you for an honest action.
(ibid.)
Capt. Slocum, from Port Republic, informs that the administration had recently seized two small schooners belonging to Norfolk, for being under the tonnage permitted to entry. One of the vessels, about 40 tons burthen, had been condemned, with her cargo; the other it is supposed would be cleared, but her cargo confiscated.

APROPOSAL BY SAMUEL BISHOP For publishing by Subscription, LETTERS
ON THE Elementary Principles OF EDUCATION.
By Elizabeth Hamilton, Author of the "Memoirs of Modern Philosophers," &c.
ON this interesting and highly important work, which, for several years, has been in the press, and among which the above, as it is the most recent, is the most eminent of its kind. Led by her subject to an inquiry concerning the nature of the active powers, and intellectual faculties of the human mind, Mrs. Hamilton has developed those powers and faculties with a perspicuity and ability which while it arrests the attention of those who have most successfully studied those subjects, must render a competent knowledge of them familiar to the most ordinary capacity. The superficial and frivolity of character engendered by the modern system of education, have been long, and justly, a subject of complaint; but the particular causes by which these serious evils have been produced, were hitherto but imperfectly known, or little attended to: To trace these evils to their source, and to point out the proper remedy, is the ultimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this Author have been directed; and in these efforts she has, it is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which those inquiries have been pursued, that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the present publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers of families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and youth, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable.
The rapid sale of two impressions of this work in England, sufficiently evinces the high estimation in which it is there held: An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition—is now offered to the patronage of the American public; by whom its merits will, doubtless, be justly appreciated. [An Extract from the above Work.]
From most of the writers on education it would appear, that it is only to people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of any importance. By such alone can the systems that are generally proposed, be adopted. To such, therefore, must we believe them, to be exclusively addressed. To make fine ladies and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which has for its object the subjection of the passions, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race. The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, Sterling, in boards.
CONDITIONS. I. The Work shall be comprised in two Duodecimo volumes, of about 450 pages each, & shall be printed in the best manner, on a fine Paper, and new Type. II. The price will be one Dollar per volume in boards, payable on delivery.
** A very considerable number of Copies being already subscribed for, the work shall be put to Press, and finished without delay. Subscriptions received by the Publisher. Sept. 1.
