Accompanying a message from the President of the United States—Comprising at full length, all the papers not previously inserted in the National Intelligencer.
(C.)
Consulate of the United States of America, Island of Cuba, L. S.
By this public instrument, be it known to all whom the same doth or may concern, That I Henry Hill, jun. Consul of the United States of America for the island of Cuba, resident at Havanna, do hereby certify, that on the day of the date hereof, before me personally came and appeared John L. Cranston, late master of the schooner Caroline of Charleston, who by me being duly sworn upon the holy evangelists of Almighty God, did solemnly depose and declare, that on the 12th day of April last he sailed and departed in and with the said schooner from Charleston aforesaid, with passengers, bound for St. Thomas, where he arrived on the first day of May following. That he sailed from thence on the 4th with ballast, bound to Laguire, and arrived at the said port on the 10th, and continued laying off and on until the 14th. That his sails being very much split, and the vessel otherwise in a bad state, and not being able to obtain permission to enter said port, he determined to bear away for the first port he could make, and on the day following was captured by his Britannic majesty's ship of war Fortune, Henry Vansittart, commander, who took out him, the deponent and his crew, and took possession of the said schooner, which he armed as a tender to cruise off Curacoa. That on the 25th the said schooner was delivered up to him, being plundered of the boat, oars, anchors, stores, &c. That being very much in want of repairs he thought it most prudent, as well for the preservation of the said vessel and their own lives, as to procure supplies, which they likewise stood very much in need of, to bear away for Jamaica, and on the 29th of May arrived at Kingston in the said island, where he in due form made his protest.
That he sailed from thence (after having received the necessary repairs and supplies, and having on board twenty puncheons rum, the property, as he verily believes, of Andrew Ker, of Charleston aforesaid, a citizen of the United States, on the 9th day of July following, bound for Charleston aforesaid, and on the 15th was boarded by a felucca pirate, commanded by one Paul Cazafranca, who took from him all the vessel's papers and all his letters, &c. and also possession of said sloop as a prize, with which he proceeded to Punta Fuera, about 4 leagues from Cape Antonio, where he came to anchor. That he there unloaded said vessel and supplied the fishermen who were there, with some of the rum belonging to the said cargo. That they continued there until the 23d following, when he sent the said schooner, with the said deponent and crew, to Mantua Pavola, where she arrived on the same day; and he, the deponent, with said crew, remained there until the 9th day of August, without clothes or money, all of which, and every thing else, except two or three shirts, they were robbed of by the said captors. That he there procured a boat, and upon the promise of paying one hundred dollars, was brought to this port of Havanna, where they arrived on the 14th inst.
That he, the deponent, immediately dispatched a memorial to his excellency the governor, stating the circumstances and praying for the restoration of said vessel and cargo; to which said memorial he has received no reply, and is of opinion that the same will be taken no notice of.
And on this same day also personally appeared before me Andrew Arbree, mate, and William Wood and John Judson, seamen, late of and belonging to said schooner, who being by me severally duly sworn, upon the holy evangelists of Almighty God, did solemnly depose, that all and every the matters and facts relating to the voyage aforesaid and the captures aforesaid, are in every respect true.
And the said deponent, John L. Cranston did, upon his arrival, in due time and form, more and enter with me, the said consul, his protest in the premises, and now requires of me to make this public act thereof, reserving to himself the privilege of further extending the same, or to make any other in the premises, as occasion may require.
Wherefore, the said John L. Cranston doth, and I, the said consul, at his request, do by these presents, most solemnly and publicly protest as well against the seagoing of wind and bad weather the said schooner experienced on the said voyage, as against the commander, officers and
crews of the said ship of war Fortune and felucca pirate for the captures, plunder and detention aforesaid, and for all costs, damages, losses and expence already, and which shall or may be hereafter sustained on account thereof, to the end that the same be borne by those to whom of right it shall belong, to be adjusted and recovered in time and place convenient.
Done and protested at Havanna aforesaid.

HENRY HILL, jun. (D.)
Island of Cuba, Havanna.
BY this public instrument of protest, be it made known and manifest unto all whom the same doth, shall or may concern, that on the day of the date hereof before me, Henry Hill, jun. consul of the United States of America for the island of Cuba, resident at Havanna, personally came and appeared J Date, late mate of the brig Success of New York, whereof Nicholas Brum was master, John Fuller and Josiah Pelt, late seamen belonging to said brig, James Ferguson and John Smith, late passengers in said brig, who being severally duly sworn on the holy evangelists of Almighty God, did solemnly depose and say, That they sailed from Kingston (Jamaica) on the sixth day of the present month of July in the said brig Success, bound to New York (where the said brig is owned) with a cargo on board consisting of fifty puncheons of rum. That nothing material happened them until the twelfth day of the same month, when being in sight of Cape Antonio (the west end of this island of Cuba) about four miles distant, they were met with, and the said brig was boarded by a small felucca privateer under Spanish colors, which these deponents understood to be the Buena Union, captain Ularago, from this port of Havanna (then under the command of the mate, the said captain Ularago, as these deponents understood, being in this city) who, without any examination into said vessel's papers, captured her, put a prize master and crew on board, and forcibly deprived the said master and these deponents of the possession of the said brig and her cargo, and took the whole crew, including the said master & the passenger (except six Frenchmen who were passengers in said brig) on board the said privateer.
That the said master of said brig was cruelly flogged, beaten, and otherwise abused on board of said privateer, and was then sent on board of his said brig. That these deponents were so cruelly flogged & beaten on board the said privateer, and at night thrown into the hold and placed in irons, where they lay without having any sustenance until the day following, when they were liberated from their irons and suffered to come upon deck.
That the said brig was not then to be seen, and these deponents were told by the privateersmen that they had sent her to Campeachy. That the said privateer two days afterwards came to anchor in a small bay near said cape, when these deponents were turned ashore, after being robbed of many articles of their personal apparel, and the mate of the said brig of his books, charts and quadrant, without any sustenance, or the means of obtaining it, and were left to wander in an inhospitable part of this island, far removed from any town or inhabitants, and to support their lives in the best manner they could.
That being desirous of finding some town or inhabitants, amongst whom they might procure the necessaries of life, they wandered about a day or two and at length came to a small village, where they were taken up before the commandant, who conceived them to be Englishmen and forwarded them to this place, Havanna, as such, whither they arrived on the 30th ult. and were conveyed first to the guard house, and afterwards to the common prison of the city, where they remained until this day, when they were liberated by order of the governor, and paid to the jailor seventeen dollars and a half jail fees.
And thereupon the said several deponents did, in behalf of the said owners, freighters, and all others concerned in the said brig and cargo, request of me to make their protest and this public act thereof.
Wherefore the said deponents do, and I, the said consul at their request also do, by these presents most publicly & solemnly protest as well against the commander, officers and crew of the said privateer and the owners thereof, as against all and every other person and persons whom it shall or may concern, for the capture and detention of the said brig and cargo, and the subsequent circumstances, and for all costs, damages, charges and expenses attending the same, to the end that the same be suffered and borne by those to whom of right it shall appertain, to be adjusted and recovered in time and place convenient.
Done and protested at Havanna aforesaid.
Signed,
John Date, Josiah Pelt, John Fuller, James Ferguson, John Smith.
In testimony whereof the said deponents have hereunto subscribed their names, and I the said consul have hereunto set my hand and affixed my consular seal this thirty first day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five, and of the independence of the United States the thirtieth.

HENRY HILL, jun. (To be continued.)
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Extract of a Proclamation inserted in the Vienna Gazette, of Sept. 25, 1805. WE FRANCIS II, &c.
It is proved by facts, known to the whole universe, that since the treaty of Luneville, nothing has been dearer to us than the preservation of peace, restored by the same treaty to our faithful subjects.
Having always scrupulously fulfilled every obligation laid on us by this treaty (1) having observed the strictest neutrality (2) since the renewal of the maritime war, and having shown the most friendly moderation, when the emperor of the French broke several fundamental articles of that peace, and put the equilibrium of Europe in danger by numerous violations and aggrandisements, we had every right to hope that this desire to preserve this peace would be fulfilled.
But the preparations of the emperor of the French upon the frontiers of the Tyrol and of the duchy of Venice (3) joined to menaces, have required of our care, as sovereign, to make preparations on our side, which, in removing apprehensions for the safety of our states, could, however, give France no pretext of mistrust or of public complaint.
At the same time we took proper steps at the courts of Petersburg and Paris, to renew the negotiations of peace, at the very moment when those negotiations, which had been begun, were interrupted.
The court of France denied our good intentions, and rejected our mediation; the court of Russia, on the contrary, declared herself ready to open with us, and with the same moderation as we, an amicable negotiation (4) for the purpose of re-establishing the tranquility, safety, and equilibrium of the European states, by an armed mediation.
Very far from desiring the renewal of the war, but convinced of the necessity of these vigorous measures, the only ones capable of establishing a true & lasting peace we shared for this purpose the resolutions of his majesty the emperor of Russia, and confidently hope that they will be attended with the most salutary results (5.)
At the same time we are convinced that our faithful subjects, who have given us during our reign of thirteen years, so many affecting proofs of their attachment, will assist us with all their might in an enterprise which has no other aim than their happiness, the only object of our attention, and the most grateful wish of our heart.
We hope then that our faithful subjects will pay not only with the greatest punctuality, the contribution established for the years eighteen hundred and five and eighteen hundred and six, but will furnish gratuitously, for the maintenance of our armies the following articles,
To wit.

This proclamation is dated the 20th Sep. 1805 and signed FRANCIS.
(1) Is it necessary to return to these facts already known to the whole universe the occupation of Lindau, the acquisitions consummated and negotiated in Southern Swabia, the invention of the right of way so onerous to Switzerland and so militant against her neutrality, the refusal to pay the debts due to the subjects of the king, dom of Italy, objectio so contrary, in every respect both in their ensemble and in their details, to the spirit and the letter of the treaty of Luneville, that there was no other manner to break the sworn faith than to violate also the recess of the empire, to sap the foundations of the constitutions of Germany and to invade Bavaria? One cannot help deploring the fate of a people who are imposed on by so many falsities to make them endure all the misfortunes, all the scourges of war.
(Moniteur.)
(2) It is necessary to cite, in support of this assertion, the approbation given to the right of blockade, which, independently of its being humiliating for an independent State, is an evident hostility on the part of a State which pretends to be neuter. The court of Vienna has formed to herself a strange idea of the duties of neutrality. She thinks no doubt that she still acts as a neutral power, when she calls the Russian armies upon her territory, when, assembling all the forces of the Austrian monarchy, she leaves her capital, her strong places to be guarded by the citizens, to march her whole army to the borders of the Rhine.
(Ibid.)
(3) When Austria, under pretext of forming a cordon of troops to prevent the introduction of a contagious disease which no longer existed, sent an army into the states of Venice and hastily raised the field fortifications, there were only pleasure camps in the Kingdom of Italy; not one regiment, not one battalion, not one company was upon the frontiers of the Tyrol. At that same period, on the contrary, all the military forces of France were assembled on her coast opposite to England. Forty days have hardly elapsed since the moment when 150,000 Frenchmen were embarked on board the flotilla of Boulogne, expecting every instant the squadrons to protect their passage, and the favorable wind that was to waft them to the territory of Great Britain.
(Ibid.)
(4) We shall not repeat the observations already made upon this strange mediation, by which Austria said to England: I march against your enemies; and to France: submit to all the conditions which your enemies would wish to impose upon you, or I march against you; a negotiation indeed as friendly as that of a man who, under pretext of separating two combatants, should advance towards one of the two and strike him behind with a poignard.
ib.
(5) No doubt you relied upon a salutary result; because you thought that at the moment when your treason would break out, the army of Boulogne would be in England. You have had the cowardice to raise a hostile sword against a friend engaged with all his means in quarrel which was at least foreign to you. The God who watches over loyal and faithful nations, and who punishes treason and perjury, detained our flotilla in port. These same soldiers who were armed only to fight against the enemies of the continent, have arrived upon you with the rapidity of lightning, guided by the angel of victory and protected by the God of armies.
ib.
(6) That a monarch surprised by the treason of a disloyal prince, should demand of his people the greatest sacrifices, is very natural; he could not foresee the perfidy and nobody will be astonished at his having been taken unawares. The sovereign on the contrary who, having long maturely mediated an odious and useless aggression, comes at the moment of the execution of his foolish enterprise to implore the assistance of all his subjects and to require that they should share with his armies the subsistence of their families, must be for them, for their enemies, nay, even for his friends, only an object of mockery. Let us leave to our readers the care of placing the names under these portraits, and let us confine ourselves to observing that the Emperor of the French has asked of his people only soldiers, and that already his enemies are gone to seek, in the heart of Germany, victory, who will be faithful to them.

SALEM December 10.
Account of a battle between the French & Austrians
On Saturday last the ship Messenger, Captain J. Buffinton, arrived here from Amsterdam. From Mr. John Forrester, the cargo, we have the following account: That on the 21st of October, which was a day before he sailed from the Helder, in a public room at that place, an account was read and orally translated from an Amsterdam paper just received, giving an account, but not an official one, of a battle having been fought between the French & Austrians, in Germany, in which the latter were defeated. Mr. F. did not take the paper, or any minutes of the account, but then expecting to be in America soon as some other Americans who were here. But the impression left upon his mind from the reading was—that the French by forced marches came upon the Austrians by surprise—that a battle ensued under such disadvantages on the part of the Austrians, that they were not able or willing to make a very vigorous resistance, and that their retreat was so cut off, that finally they surrendered themselves prisoners, to the number of thirty thousand! The body of the French which engaged the Austrians was stated to have been commanded by Marshal prince Murat. Captain Swaine of the ship Perseverance sail immediate after the Messenger for New York, was present when the above account was read, and took minutes of it: from him therefore we may shortly expect the particulars.
From the position of the hostile armies at the last accounts, there can be no doubt that they must have had a rencontre some time in the month of October. From the impetuous character of Bonaparte, and the knowledge that he was pushing on his troops with the utmost vigour, even to the violation of the Prussian territory, in order to meet the Austrians before the junction of the Russians, it is probable he may have taken them, as stated, by surprise, & gained a great advantage over them. But the number of prisoners is greatly exaggerated—nor is it to be supposed that any large body of Austrian troops would have surrendered without a bloody conflict.

NINTH CONGRESS, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, December 16.
Mr. Crowninshield, from the committee of commerce and manufactures, to which the bill for the relief of Theodorick Armstead of Norfolk, was re-committed, stated he as of the petitioner as enquired into by the committee; that no relief could be had for the petitioner, except through congress. Mr. C. therefore again presented the bill without any amendment.
On motion to refer the bill to a committee of the whole, Mr. Newton was adverse; he thought the subject, had been
already long, and fairly before a committee of the whole, he wished it to be further dispensed with and that the bill should be engrossed.
Mr. Smith said, that the house had expressed a wish for the particulars of the case, and now, that they were reported, it would be proper that the bill, thus accompanied, should again go before a committee of the whole. It was accordingly agreed, and made the order of the day for to-morrow.
Mr. Smith moved, in effect, that the committee of commerce and manufactures, be instructed to enquire, whether any and what alteration or amendments are necessary in an act, vesting in the district judges, the power of mitigating certain penalties, so that the same power may extend to justices of county courts.
Mr. Crowninshield, from the committee of commerce and manufactures reported on the petition of Edward Topham, George Jenkins and William Carrier of Newburyport. That the petition was reasonable and ought to be granted.
Referred to a committee of the whole house, for Thursday next.
Petitions of E. and J. Meig, of John McIntire, of John Lowne, referred to the committee of claims.
Petition of the late captain of the frigate Alliance, during the late revolutionary war with Great Britain for compensation.
Mr. Van Cortlandt moved, that the reading of the last petition be dispensed with and that it referred to the sec'y of state. Carried.
Petition of Isaac Clarkson of New York, for a drawback on 142 boxes of sugar, imported by him and for the duties of which, he gave bond. The petition stated that the petitioner had determined on exporting said sugar and for that purpose had shipped it about the time the citizens of New York were alarmed by the breaking out of the complaint called the yellow fever, that he had removed his counting house in great haste, on the 7th of September, to a distance from the city, and before the expiration of the ten days allowed to give bond to obtain debentures thereon—that the drawback amounts to fifteen thousand dollars, and which for the circumstances named, he cannot claim. He therefore prays the house will grant him debentures for drawback, &c.
Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Dana presented the petition of Hannah Douglass, widow of the late colonel William Douglass, late of the army of the United States, praying relief; also the petition of Moses Tyson and Richard Law, jun. which were referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Varnum moved that the house go into a committee of the whole on the standing rules and regulations of the house—Carried. Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair.
A long debate ensued which went wholly upon the rules to be adopted in debate, &c. and which can be interesting to members only. We therefore do not attempt to follow the different speakers through their long arguments on the alterations and amendments necessary to the mode of keeping the accounts of members, or the adoption or alteration of the mode of putting the previous question, &c. &c. At length the committee rose, reported progress, and had leave to sit again.
Adjourned.
TUESDAY, December 17.
Mr. J. C. Smith from the committee of claims, made a report on the memorial of James Hogg, and others, the crew of the late frigate Philadelphia.
The committee reported, that finding no evidence accompanying the memorial they sent it to the secretary of the navy for information on the subject, and to know whether any documents relating thereto were in his office.
The answer of the secretary was not favorable to the memorial. It stated that the provision of the act in that case made is very liberal; were it otherwise the committee would find it very difficult to say what reward should be given to men who had thus suffered and who had rendered their country such meritorious services.
The letter of the sec'y of the navy was then read which stated that they had received every allowance given them by the act, and any further compensation the navy office was not authorised to give.
The report was that the petitioners have leave to withdraw their petition.
Mr. J. Clay said he thought the case of the petitioners required further consideration.
Mr. Leib moved that the memorial together with the letter of the Secretary of the Navy be referred to the committee of the whole house and printed—carried.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the rules and regulations of the house, after many amendments being made and lengthy debates thereon, the rules were read as amended and passed.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the third reading of the bill for the relief of Theodorick Armstead, which was ordered to be engrossed—Adjourned.

KENTUCKY LANDS.
The Subscriber has FOR SALE, 53,500 ACRES of Land in Hardin county, Kentucky, binding for 20 miles on the western shore of Knollin, and lying about 25 miles from Hardin court house. Knollin is navigable from the land into Green river, and is the best bit stream in Kentucky.
This land, though near the Barrens, is well wooded, and remarkably well watered. The outlines include 70,000 acres, but there are 16 or 17,000 acres of older surveys within the lines, which are accurately laid down by actual survey made three years ago, for the purpose of ascertaining interferences. There is no land in Kentucky more free from dispute than the quantity offered for sale. On these older surveys there are two mills and many families, and on the subscribers land there are about a dozen families, desirous of buying their settlements, and he has reason to believe 100 families more would have purchased and settled on the land in the present year, had it suited his affairs to have sold out in single parcels; that part of the country possessing health, and many local advantages, and being near the centre of the State.
Samuel Turner of this town, knows this land well, and will take the trouble to give a just description of its quality, to those who may desire it. This land, if applied for prior to the 20th December, will be sold at 50 cents per acre, on bond with interest, payable in 1, 2, 3 & 4 years. If the bonds be satisfactorily secured, unquestionable title will at once be given for the land.

PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Catarrhals, Female complaints, &c. The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment. A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colds and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrheas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste. For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
