FROM BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER.
Danger of Portugal.
It is the misfortune of the minor European States, whose feeble and languishing resources scarcely suffer them to encourage any other ambition than that of maintaining their petty territories inviolate, and escaping injury from their more powerful neighbours, almost uniformly to be drawn into the vortex, at least into a participation of the hazards of hostility, whenever the greater powers, who give a tone to the policy and preside over the fate of Europe, engage in war with each other.
This has too frequently been the case of Holland, Switzerland, and the minor states of Italy, and is likely, in the present contest, to be the fate of Portugal. The safety of Portugal, it is said, depends upon the neutrality of Spain. If Spain be converted into an enemy of Great Britain, she will be equally hostile to her allies, and will then have a common interest with France to effect the subjugation of Portugal.—Spain, it is asserted, will open herself to the reception of French troops, and the armies of Bonaparte, crossing the Peninsula, will compel Portugal to renounce the alliance of Great Britain, and connect herself with the common cause.
That such will be the object and enterprise of France and Spain, there can be but little doubt: as little is there, likewise, that the situation of Portugal is hazardous, but it requires no very superstitious faith to believe that she may survive the shock, no very great stretch of confidence to pronounce that her alliance with Great Britain, will maintain her inviolate and unbroken.
We are not without precedents of the degrees of fear which Portugal need suffer from the Court of Madrid. The events of the campaign of 1762, when a small British force repelled the invading armies of Spain, at a time, too, when a Spanish army possessed something of its former discipline and gallantry, sufficiently evince what a British army might now effect, in the wane of Spanish tactics and military glory.
From France is the principal danger.—Let us suppose that the Emperor of the French resolves to divert a portion of his troops from the positions which they at present occupy. This is hazardous, now that a continental war is menaced; now that the armies on the right and left banks of the Rhine must be effectually strengthened; now that Holland, on which side an attack is first expected, must consume a greater force, no less to repel the enemies of France, than that she herself may be held in subjection; now, too, when upon the south a fearful storm is apprehended from Italy, and Austria, fluctuating in an uncertain neutrality, cannot be trusted without an overpowering army to watch every movement of her policy.
Let us suppose, however, that France provides a considerable spot of troops at Bayonne. They must march four hundred miles before they touch the frontiers of Portugal; their course extends through a country difficult for the progress of an army, and almost destitute of provisions; they can subsist with difficulty, and must be tardy from an immense baggage. Time would be given to Portugal to provide for a vigorous defence, a defence easy and certain of success, if conducted with common spirit and gallantry. Here, too, the alliance of England would interpose and spread a shield before her.
But let us concede that Portugal, with the other secondary powers of the continent, is obliged to receive the yoke. Happily for mankind, the safety of Europe does not depend upon France being able to take a temporary possession of Portugal. It is in the power of England, at any time, to block up the two rivers by which that country can alone receive supplies of grain, and thereby cut off the subsistence of a French army, and oblige them to abandon their conquest, or retain it at an expence beyond its value.
Portugal, abstracted from her colonies, is of no weight in Europe; without the Brazils, she would be overlooked in a general scheme of politics.
Let us consider Portugal in the possession of France. What is her value? What resources does she supply for the pillage of French armies,—what new vigor does she add to the arm of tyranny and domination? The power which has assumed the maritime ascendancy would seize her dominions in Africa and America. The name of Portugal being extinct, and the obligations to her cancelled, (which would be the consequence of her subjection to France,) England might justly possess her-
self of her colonies, to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy; and thus in the general division and scramble for prizes, England would be the eventual gainer—with this special difference, that the gains of Bonaparte would be the plunder of a robber, those of England, the acquisitions of prudence and friendship.
The wines of Portugal might indeed find their way to Great Britain; and thus supply its wretched inhabitants with a bare subsistence; but without the consumption of Brazil; the resources it affords and the shipping it creates, and employs, Portugal would sink to the lowest state of degradation; and having once supplied a harvest to the French marauders, she would be relinquished almost as speedily as obtained, when no temptation was left of future plunder.
Whilst the occupation of Portugal by France must necessarily throw the treasures and commerce of the Brazils into the lap of Great Britain, Bonaparte will hesitate before he decides upon its subjection; he knows that England regards the sanctity of treaties, and the interests of inferior states; he knows the generosity of our commercial policy, and that whilst the colonies of these states are not subservient to French ambition, we shall never attempt to divert their produce from their accustomed channels; but he knows that England will never suffer the colonies of any subjugated state to become the prey of his rapacity, and the means of his aggrandizement.
Let us, therefore, in case Portugal be attacked, assume the language and conduct which the occasion calls for. If we blockade by sea wherever the enemy advances; if we separate the colonies from every country which he enters, and prevent such countries, as we have done in the case of those which border on the Elbe and Weser, from all external commerce, France will soon be taught, that she is only weakened by the extension of her conquests which are thrown into the hands of her rival, without hazard of battle, or contamination of honor.
LONDON, March 11.
The horrible excesses of French tyranny have, according to private letters, received yesterday from the Hague, at length produced throughout the Batavian Republic, a spirit of discontent, which has broken out in repeated acts of resistance and aggression.
At Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Bois le Duc, French officers and soldiers found in the streets after dark, have been thrown into the canals by the people; several of them have been drowned, and who was going out during the day, they have met with insults or threats, which they have resented with imprisonment or fine. At Maastricht, seven French soldiers, with a sergeant, on duty in the Corps de Guard on the banks of the Meuse, have disappeared, and are supposed to have been thrown into that by the fisherman of that village, which is reduced to beggary since the war. A report was current on the 17th, that as soon as the French troops shall receive a reinforcement of twenty thousand men, said to be on their march from their army on the coast, the most populous cities would be declared in a state of siege. The Batavian troops, though more numerous than the French, have hitherto received quiet spectators: but an address to them, written in spirited language by some unknown person, who calls on them to assist in delivering their country from its foreign yoke, has made a great impression, and several duels have been the consequence between them and the French. General Vignolle has been obliged to separate the troops of the two nations both at Haerlem and Utrecht, by sending them to different quarters. It is said, that the Batavian Directors, forced to resign by Simonville, have entered a protest, which this agent of Bonaparte prevented from being printed and distributed.
SALEM May 2.
The progress of democracy in most of the other states in the Union, and the turn of the choice of Electors, in November last, in this, inspired the Democrats with confidence that Massachusetts was completely prepared to be revolutionized at the April elections; but here they are disappointed; the Federalists have been alarmed into action, and the consequence is, the re-election of Strong, of Robins, and of a federal majority in the State.
In the choice of Representatives we trust the same good spirit will prevail, and prevent the evils which would ensue from a discordant government in the State.
There is good ground to hope, that even Salem will in that respect retrieve its
character, and that 571 votes which in April appeared in favor of Strong, will in May appear with increase in favor of a list of Representatives that will give support by a concurrence in political sentiment, to his administration. To effect it, a struggle must be made. The nearly even balance of parties here, makes it necessary that great discretion should be used in the selection of their candidates, and that when selected they should not be abandoned to mere chance, but supported by all fair and honorable means. In this case we have great reason to believe, from the information received from many individuals, that a federal ticket may be carried. And when we consider that the character of the House of Representatives may depend upon the choice of this single town, we hope no man of principle will be unwilling to make an exertion.
NEW-YORK, May 7.
Captain Wilson, of the brig Atlantic, arrived yesterday from Antigua, informs us that the British fleet under Admiral Cochrane had arrived at that island about a fortnight before he sailed, and proceeded to leeward; and that a few days afterwards Commodore Hood's advice boat arrived with intelligence that a squadron of twenty sail of vessels of war, consisting of French and Spanish, had arrived to windward; that dispatches were immediately forwarded to recall Admiral Cochrane, that the militia were again under arms, and that an embargo was hourly expected.
May 9.
We have the pleasure of knowing that our fears respecting the fate of the people who had committed themselves to the mercy of the waves in the long boat of the ship Jupiter, were groundless. They have been providentially preserved. This extremely interesting intelligence is thus announced in the Boston Gazette of Monday.
We are happy to learn that the passengers and crew of the ship Jupiter, who embarked on board the long boat, were fallen in with by several fishing schooners, soon after they parted with the yawl, and happily rescued from their perilous situation. Mr. Gilbert J. S. Smissaart, one of the passengers, arrived at Boston on Tuesday, from Marblehead, where he was brought by a vessel who received him from one of the fishing boats. He informs that the people preserved with him were all in health, and distributed among the several fishing vessels on the banks.
Captain Williams, from Cape François, informs us that on the 19th of April, about forty miles, to the northward of the Mona passage, an engagement took place between the French privateer, formerly the Lily sloop of war, and the British sloop of war Reynard, which continued an hour and a half, and terminated with the blowing up of the Lily. Her crew consisted of one hundred and sixty men, of whom, we are sorry to add, sixty were killed during the action, sixty perished with the vessel, and forty were preserved. Captain W. confirms the account of the return of Dessalines and Christophe to the Cape with a part of their army; but their return it was reported, was in consequence of their expecting a visit at the Cape from the Rochefort squadron.
Extract of a letter from Boston to the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser, dated Sunday afternoon, May 5.
"This afternoon arrived here the ship Alert, capt. Lewis, from St. Domingo, via Halifax, 7 days from the latter place. Passengers, Mr. Charles Hill, Mr. Thomas Boggs, Mrs. Cochran and daughters, and twenty eight of the crew of the brig Happy Couple, of New-York, which vessel was condemned some time since. The Prince Ernest packet had just arrived at Halifax from England, and was to sail immediately for New York. Left under adjudication, ship John, Patterson, of New York, from New-Orleans for Bordeaux; schooner Success, of Philadelphia, from Guadalupe; ship Orleans, of ditto, from Marseilles; and schooner Harmony, of Alexandria, from St. Martins, all detained on account of having French property on board; and the brig Alliance, of Baltimore, for Hispaniola, on account of being armed."
Extract from a letter, of a late date, from Bordeaux.
"Our Consul seized here a few days since, the ship Eagle, belonging formerly to a house in Philadelphia. This vessel was sold here to a Frenchman, in 1802, who was now fitting her out under her old American papers, which had never been

given up, and had taken in a cargo; I am told he has got hold of day of another vessel, at the mouth of the river. A few weeks since he gave Consular papers to a ship purchased apparently by a house here on the American line, on account of a respectable house in New York, from whom they had a power of attorney for the purpose. The ship instead of going to New York, was sent to Spain, and there fitted out as a privateer; the captain on his return was arrested by the Consul, and held in custody until he produced the papers; and the merchants who expected the vessel are not suffered to pass any papers in the Consul's office. He refuses to take their oaths, or to certify their bills of Lading. This puts them in much trouble, as they deal much with the United States, and one of the partners is an American."
PHILADELPHIA, May 8. More Economies. —It appears by some late arrangements at Head-Quarters, that economy may be practised in the NUMBER of public officers, to the entire disregard of either the public service, or the public expenditure—and that the same man may be appointed Governor of Louisiana, and Commander in Chief of the Army of the United States, with the full emoluments of both commissions; and that another may be at once Secretary of the Navy, and Attorney-General of the United States. This is favoritism with a witness. How long are the people of the United States, to continue the dupes of such shameful imposition?

A letter from Belfast, dated March 19, quotes New York flax seed at six pound five shillings per cask; Dutch ditto eight pound ten shillings; bowed Georgia cotton—wool, 28d. per lb; New Orleans do. 26 pence; potash sixty shillings to sixty five shillings per cwt. Linens of every kind high and in good demand.
A Belfast paper of the 22d March says: "It is with much concern we state that the American ship Williams and Jane, capt. Hall, laden with flax seed, cotton, wool, &c. was driven on a rock near the Rosses, in the county of Donegal, on Friday last. By a letter from the captain to his consignees here, we learn that a part of the cargo will be saved, but that the vessel will be a total loss. The crew and passengers are all safe."
Capt. Bell, of the brig Bula Maria, who arrived at New-York, in 13 days from Curacoa, informs, that that port was blockaded by three frigates and two schooners.
According to the report of the director of the United States Mint, there have been coined the past year, of the precious metals, to the amount of 358,983 dollars, and of copper to the value of 12,845 dollars. About 11,000 dollars of the gold coin is the produce of virgin gold, found in North Carolina.

Arrived at New-York —The pilot-boat schooner Greyhound, Williams, 16 days from Cape Francois, and 10 from Turks Island. Left, ship Marquis de Someruelos, Aime, Lovely Lass, Griffin, and schooner Ranger, of Philadelphia; schr. Plato, Fleetwood, and —, Mills, of Baltimore; schrs. Highland, Lucket, and Enterprize, Lewis, of Alexandria; brig Lydia, Patterson, to sail for Charleston in 3 days. The schooners Amphion, Gemmell, and Victory, Waite, sailed on the 20th of April for Port au Prince: the schr. General Greene, Jones, and schr. —, Mix, for Port de Paix. At Fort Dauphin, schr. Phoebe-Ann, Coffin, of New York; and brig Angel, Smith, of Philadelphia. The brig Antelope, of Philadelphia, had sailed for the Mole to join convoy. The schr. Ranger, Knapp, of Newburyport, from Port a Plat for the Cape, is totally lost about forty miles to the leeward of Port a Plat.
On the Ranger's passage a sail hove in sight, which was supposed to be a French privateer, but proved to be a Baltimore schooner, and to prevent the vessel from capture the pilot ran her ashore. Capt. W. was chased into Turks Island by a French privateer, having an American prize ship in company.
Left at Turks Island, brig Ursula, of Connecticut, and brig Betsey, to sail next day for Nantucket. Capt. W. informs that the brig —, Bell, sailed from Turks Island for Norfolk the day before the Greyhound arrived there, having on board the crew of a schooner which had been captured on her passage from St. Domingo to Baltimore, by a French privateer, the commander of which had caused the captain and mate to receive three dozen lashes, and the crew six dozen each, laid on with such severity that it was expected some of the men would die in consequence thereof.—The schooner Lyon, of Philadelphia, was cast away at Port-de-Paix on the 7th April; cargo and crew saved. The schr. Success, Stevens, from New York for Havana, was lost on the 21st April on Ambroia Bank; the captain, mate, and two passengers saved; the crew lost.
SOAME JENYNS remarks, that he who exercises no trade or profession is imposed on by every one, without any power of making reprisals. He is like a man in the pillory, pecked by all without being able to return it. He has but one chance, which few men's situation or abilities will admit of, which is that of retaliating upon the public.

FOR SALE,  That well-known situation for a Mill, Where Mr. JAMES DOUGLASS's mill stood; lying on Difficult Run, about one quarter of a mile from Potomac river, and about half a mile from the Great Falls of said river.  There is on the land a dwelling-house, I believe 40 feet by 24, a kitchen 24 feet by 16, all in complete order, cooper's house, school house, &c. The house, in my opinion, must have cost 2500 dollars. There is about 120 acres of land in the tract—Part of the land that is cleared is highly manured with Plaster of Paris—there is about 4 acres of meadow—Mr. James Douglass, about 3 years ago, made, off about 16 acres, near 350 bushels of wheat.

It will be sold for part money, part land, part in bank stock, and part in lots in Alexandria, as may suit the purchaser. Mr. John Potts, of Alexandria, is empowered to convey. For terms apply to.
