FIVE DOLLS. PER ANN.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1804.
PAID IN ADVANCE.
GEORGE TOWN COLLEGE,
In the district of Columbia, United States of America, under the direction of the Incorporated Catholic Clergy of the State of Maryland.
1. The annual pension of this establishment is two hundred and twenty dollars; but for children under twelve years of age, only two hundred dollars will be required. Those students who continue their education through the class of Philosophy shall, on account of extraordinary expenses and some particular indulgencies allowed them, pay two hundred and fifty dollars per annum.
The pension is to be paid half yearly in advance. A deduction of fifty dollars per annum will be allowed to those parents who may choose to charge themselves with the detail of clothing their children. The college will furnish washing and mending; but will not keep particular accounts, or become answerable for clothing provided by parents.
II. In lieu of bed linen, table service, school books, and other articles usually required on entering establishments of this kind, each student shall pay ten dollars entrance money.
III. The Sunday or holiday dress is uniform, and consists of a plain coat of blue cloth, with yellow buttons, red cloth or kerseymere waistcoats. The use of silk is not permitted. Every student shall bring with him his uniform dress, besides a suit for daily wear, six shirts, six neck handkerchiefs, six pocket handkerchiefs, six pair of stockings, and three pair of shoes, all new. Any deficiency in the above will be charged to the parents.
IV. On the above terms the students are furnished with clothes, linen, washing, mending, lodging, board, fire, candle, table, school books, pen, ink, paper, amusements, and school rewards; so that nothing will remain to the charge of the parents, but medical attendance and medicines, postage, and such extra lessons as drawing, dancing, music, &c. which they may choose to order for their children.
V. The religion, uniformly practiced by the students living in the college, is the Roman Catholic; but for students of other religious persuasions, there are boarding houses, convenient to the college, where they will be subject to the same rules (religion excepted) and enjoy the same advantages for their improvement in science as the pensioners of the college.
VI. Out Boarders must be furnished by their parents with the uniform of the college, and pay annually for tuition, fire, candle, school books, pen, ink, paper, amusements, school rewards, &c. fifty dollars, always half yearly in advance.
VII. The students are taught English, Latin, Greek, and all the branches of Classical Education, sacred and profane History, Geography the use of the Globes, Algebra and Geometry, with all the other parts of the Mathematics, in the respective classes. Particular care is taken that they learn to read well, and write a good hand, and that they speak and write French with accuracy. Four times a year the students are called to a public examination of what they have been taught before Parents and the Friends of Literature. Those who have made extraordinary progress are honored and rewarded. The idle, for punishment, are confined in the vacation to certain extraordinary hours of study during play-time, in order to repair what they have neglected to learn in school; therefore, if they are found defective in the last and most important examination of the year, before the August vacation, they will not be allowed to go home during that time.
VIII. The age of admission is from eight to fourteen. When children are not sufficiently advanced to begin a regular course of classical education, they are placed in an elementary class, attended by a particular teacher, from whom they learn to spell, read, and write.
IX. If the children sent to this College have been before at any other house of education, an attestation of their morals and docility is required.
X. The greatest care is taken to instruct the children in the duties of Religion and Morality, and they are constantly under the eye of one or more of the Professors who see that those duties are practiced, and that the rules of civility are not violated.
XI. Cleanliness and exercise, and every thing which contributes to health, are attended to with particular care.
XII. All the pensioners dine and sup with their professors, and have the same table which they have. No distinctions are allowed in diet or clothing.
XIII. As long experience has convinced the directors, that a provision of pocket money is very prejudicial, not only to good order, but even to study and application, they therefore request that parents will not be forward in indulging their children in more than fifty cents at most per month, for this purpose.
XIV. No allowance is made for absence during the vacation, which begins on the 15th August, and ends the 15th of September. To these terms the parents are desired to be particularly attentive, in case they choose to call their children home, as the absence of a few weeks at the opening of school is seldom repaired without very great difficulty. Absence from school at no other time will be permitted. It is indeed the most serious and earnest desire of the Directors, that the children should never be called home during the course of their education, as they have found by experience, that such avocations have often proved prejudicial, not only to study and application, but even to content and happiness. Those children who may be received into the college upon other funds, either totally or partially, than those provided by their parents or guardians, will not be allowed to
go home or absent themselves from the college during the full course of their education, unless particular circumstances in the judgment of the President should require permission of absence for a time.
XV. When children are removed from the College, whatever new linen or clothes are furnished them on that occasion, will be charged to their parents. After entering on a new quarter no deduction will be made for the remaining part thereof.
The College is a large building, capable of lodging two hundred persons conveniently. The garden and court adjoining, where the young gentlemen play, are very airy and spacious. The situation is very pleasant and healthy.
It will contribute much to the advantage of the children, if parents on sending them will inform the President how long they propose to leave them at the College, and for what employments in life they are designed. The regular course of education is properly classical; but such as are destined for the commercial line, have a lesson of Arithmetic and Book-Keeping, under a particular Professor appointed for that purpose.
N.B. The above Regulations and Conditions will take place from the 15th day of August, 1804, for all such as enter at, or after that period; but for others, they will only commence at the expiration of the six months, for which the advance payment had become due prior to that term.

PROPOSAL, For printing by Subscription, Miscellaneous Poems, BY MRS. ALLEN, Consort to the Rev. Mr. Allen of Harford county, Written before her marriage.
THE book to be printed with a clear type, and fine paper, in a duodecimo volume, and delivered to the subscribers neatly bound; price three quarters of a Dollar, half to be paid on subscribing, and the residue on delivery of the book - which will be put to press as soon as three hundred copies shall be subscribed for.

Dr. Jacob Hall, of Harford county, of known literary character, to whose inspection these Poems were submitted, in a letter to the author, expresses his opinion of them, as follows:
MADAM, I have been honored and gratified with the perusal of your manuscript copy of Poems. In my opinion it is a work of considerable merit, and displays true piety and poetic genius. The pastoral dialogues are commendable for their novelty, simplicity and beauty. The elegies, epistles, and especially the "Man of Misfortune," a Moral Tale, are interesting and pathetic. The Odes and Fugitive Pieces are sprightly and amusing. And the whole composition seems to breathe such a spirit of philanthropy and benevolence as cannot fail to elevate the affections, and to mend the heart. And it is to be regretted, that the author's modesty has hitherto denied the community so refined & elegant an entertainment.
Your Friend, &c. J. HALL. Christopher's Camp. March 24.

The General of Brigade, Prefect of the Department of Morbihan, to the Grand Judge.
VANNES. May 15.
"Citizen Grand Judge." - An English corvette was taken a few days ago by our gun boats, at the entrance of the Morbihan; and have yesterday learned that the officers and crew of this vessel had reached Vannes, on their way to Epinal. I had an interview with the captain, with the intention of obtaining by artifice some admission or account relative to the traitors who might be aiding him on the coast, or of the accomplices in the conspiracy who might have secreted themselves aboard his vessel to escape, as I suspected, to England. I soon discovered this captain to be a person of some importance; he is a M c Wright, who landed Georges, Pichegru and their accomplices on the coast of Dieppe. I knew him well in Egypt, where he was the lieutenant of Sir Sidney Smith, and charged by that commodore with all his negotiations with the French army. I thought he might make useful discoveries, or at least might acquit himself, by avowing that it was by order of his government, that he disembarked on our coast that band of assassins, and might thus furnish a new and authentic proof of the participation of the British cabinet in this atrocity. I have, therefore, sent him off by the Diligence, and under the escort of the gendarmerie, recommending you, however, to pay him the respect due a prisoner of war. Mr. Wright is the same person who some years since escaped from the Temple with Sir Sidney Smith; he is very reserved and cunning, a fanatical enemy of the French, vain enough to consider himself destined to play a considerable part, and so infatuated as to believe that his situation secures him from danger. But this may fail him, if he is placed in the alternative of throwing the blame of his mission upon his government, or of passing for an ostensible conspirator, and liable to justice. I thought proper to state my own opinion on this subject. He will set off this evening in the Diligence from Rennes, and will arrive at Paris almost as soon as my letter, he is accompanied by a very young nephew and his domestic, whom I did not think proper to separate from him. Although I wished to conceal from him the motive of the extraordinary measure adopted towards him, he was not to be duped; and I have reason to believe, from my conversation with him, that he had studied his part, and is determined to remain silent, on the principle that he ought only to render an account of his military operations to his own government. Nevertheless, whatever measures you may take respecting him, I thought, at all events, it would be of importance to send you a man who has acted so conspicuously in the frightful conspiracy which has struck all France with alarm, and which, Providence, always propitious, seems to have thrown (as a new example of its benevolence towards Bonaparte) on the coast of Morbihan, where his well armed ship was destined to be taken by simple gun boats, and himself to be discovered amidst a crowd of prisoners, amongst whom, in any other part than here, he might have remained undiscovered. I hope, Citizen Minister, you will approve of the measure I have taken. I have the honour to salute you.
"JULIEM."
PARIS, May 21.
Capt. Wright has been confronted with more than forty persons who have recognized him as the officer who debarked them at Belville. The corvette in which this officer was taken had 96 men, of whom 30 fell in the contest. He has declared that they were the best of his crew, and that his mizen-mast was wounded. He ascribes his surrender to a calm, the gun boats advancing with their oars were at the instant about to board.
SENATUS CONSULTUM.
PARIS, May 18.
The Conservative Senate assembled to day under the presidency of the Consul Cambacérès. All the ministers were present at the sitting; as also the counsellor of state Portalis, Desermont and Tréhard, the orators of government appointed on the 26th Floreal, to carry
to the Senate a plan of the organic Senatus Consultum. The Senate after hearing the report of its committee, by the Senator Lapeyrouse, adopted the Senatus Consultum, and after the sitting repaired in a body to St. Cloud, to present it to the First Consul. We shall give the text of this fundamental act, which constitutes the French Empire, as soon as it shall be officially published. In the mean time, to gratify the just impatience of our readers; we think we may lay before them some of the principal regulations, as they are circulated by public report.
The Senatus Consultum contains, it is said, 143 articles, divided into 18 titles. The first title declares Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, and the Imperial dignity hereditary in the direct, natural and legitimate descent from male to male, and the order of primogeniture, to the exclusion of females and their descent. The Emperor may adopt the children or grand children of his brothers, provided they have attained the age of 18 years complete, and he himself have no children. Adoption is prohibited to his successors. In default of a natural and legitimate heir of the First Consul, or of an adopted heir, the Empire will be transferred to Joseph Bonaparte and his descendants, to Louis Bonaparte and his descendants. In case of failure of the heirs of Joseph and Louis Bonaparte, a Senatus Consultum proposed to the Senate by the Titularies of the great dignities of the Empire, and submitted to the acceptance of the people, shall appoint an emperor.
The members of the Imperial family, in the order of inheritance, shall bear the title of French Princes. The eldest son of the Emperor shall bear the title of Imperial Prince. A French prince who shall marry without permission from the Emperor, shall be deprived of all right to the inheritance. If he shall have no children by this marriage it shall be afterwards dissolved.
The civil list shall remain regulated as it is by the 1st and 4th article of the decree of the 26th of May 1791. The French princes, Joseph and Louis Bonaparte, and the younger sons of the Emperor, shall be treated conformably to the articles 1, 10, 11, 12, and 13, of the decree of the 21st of December, 1790. The Emperor may fix the dowry of the Empress, and assign it on the civil list. His successors shall not be permitted to make any change in his dispositions in this respect.
The emperor will visit the departments. In consequence imperial palaces shall be established at the four principal points of the empire.
In the case of a minority of the empire, three shall be a regent of the empire. The Emperor is a minor till the age of 18 years complete. Females shall be excluded from the regency reigning.
The Emperor may previously appoint a regent from among the French princes. In default of such appointment, the regency shall be given to the prince nearest in degree of consanguinity. No organic Senatus Consultum can be issued during the regency, nor before the end of the third year, which shall follow the majority. There shall be a council of regency composed of the titularies of the great dignities of the empire. The regent shall not be empowered to declare war or to make peace till after a deliberation in the council of regency, of which the members, in that case only, shall have deliberative voices. The guardianship of the Emperor, in his minority shall be confided to his mother, or in default of her, to the prince appointed by the predecessors of the Emperor, who is a minor.
The titularies of the great dignities of the empire, are the Great Elector, the Archchancellor of the Temple, the Arch Chancellor of State, the Arch Treasurer, the Constable, and the High Admiral. They shall be nominated by the Emperor; they shall enjoy the same honors as the French princes, and rank immediately after them; they shall be Senators and Counsellors of State; they shall form the great council of the Emperor; they shall be members of the Privy Council; they shall compose the great council of the Legion of honor; they shall be irremovable; Senatusconsults shall be attached to each of the great dignities of the empire; they shall be established in the departments of the Lyle, the Gironde, the Rhone, the Po, the Lower Loire, and the mouths of the Rhone.
There shall be great officers of the empire - 1. Marshalls of the empire, chosen from among the most distinguished generals - 2. Eight inspectors and
colonels-general of artillery, cavalry and the marine - 3. Great civil officers of the crown, such as shall be instituted by the statutes of the Emperor. The great officers are irremovable.
The Emperor, within the first two years after his accession to the throne, or attainment of a majority, shall take an oath to the French people, on the gospel, in the presence of the Titularies of the Grand Dignities of the Empire, of the ministers, of the Great officers of the Empire, of the Senate, of the Council of State, of the Legislative Body, of the Tribunate, of the Court of Cassation, of the Archbishops and Bishops, of the Great Officers of the Legion of Honor, of the Presidents of the Cantons, of the Consuls and Mayors of the principal cities of the Empire. He shall swear to maintain the integrity of the French republic; to respect and cause to be respected liberty of conscience and the laws of the Concordat, the equality of rights, political and civil liberty, the irrevocability of the sales of national property, not to levy any tax but by virtue of a law, &c.
The Senate shall be composed of French Princes; two of the Titularies of the Great Dignities of the Empire; three of eighty members nominated on the presentation of candidates chosen by the Emperor from lists formed by the Electoral College of the Departments; four of the citizens whom the Emperor shall judge proper to elevate to the dignity of Senators.
These shall be formed in the Senate, and from its body, a committee of individual liberty, consisting of seven members, who, if any person is arrested and not brought to trial after ten days from his arrest, may on application from such person, call on the Minister who ordered his arrest, either to set him at liberty or bring him before the Tribunals, which if he refuses to do, the committee may demand an assembly of the Senate, to which the matter shall be referred.
There shall likewise be in the Senate a committee for the liberty of the Press, which shall proceed in the same manner in case of any infringement of that liberty.
The Senatus Consultum contains various other regulations relative to the Legislative body, the Council of State, the Tribunate, the Electoral Colleges, and the High Imperial Court. This Court, composed of the Princes, Grand Dignities, great Officers of the Empire, the Chief Judge, 60 Senators, and other members, is to take cognizance of personal offences committed by the members of the Imperial family, by the Grand Dignitaries and the Senators; as also of offences of Ministers, in their official responsibility.
The laws shall be thus promulgated: "N. by the grace of God and the Constitution of the republic, Emperor of the French, &c."
The French people shall vote in the forms appointed by the decree of the 20th of Floreal, of the year 12, on the inheritance of the Imperial Dignity, in the direct, natural, and legitimate descent of Napoleon Bonaparte, Joseph Bonaparte, and Louis Bonaparte.
The adoption of the above Senatus Consultum, has been announced to the Parisians by several discharges of cannon.
PARIS, May 20.
The different corps composing the Imperial Guard were yesterday presented to His Majesty the Emperor, by Prince Louis, Constable of the Empire. General Bessieres, Colonel General of the Guard, addressed the Emperor, in a speech expressive of his devotion and fidelity to him, and was answered by the Emperor.
The Senate, under the Presidency of Cambacérès, decreed in the sitting of yesterday, at which the Consul Lucien attended, and all the Ministers were present, the organic Senatus Consultum, which confers the title of Emperor on the First Consul, and establishes the Imperial dignity hereditary in his family. It instantly decreed that the members should immediately repair to St. Cloud, to present the organic Senatus Consultum to the Emperor. They set out after the close of the sitting, accompanied by several bodies of troops.
The Senate, on its arrival, being immediately admitted to an audience of the Emperor, the Consul Cambacérès, the President, presented the organic Senatus Consultum to the First Consul, and spoke as follows:
"Sire, "The Decree which the Senate has passed, and which it takes the earliest opportunity of presenting to your Im-

perial Majesty, is only the authentic expression of a will already manifested by the nation. This Decree, which confers on you a new title, and which after you secures the dignity hereditary to your race, adds nothing either to your glory or to your rights. The love and gratitude of the French people have, for four years, entrusted to your Majesty the reigns of government, and the constitution of the State reposed in you the choice of a successor. The more august denomination decreed to you, is then only a tribute which the nation pays to its own dignity, and to the necessity it experiences of giving you daily testimonies of respect and of attachment, which every day increase.
"How could the French people find bonds to its gratitude, when you place none to your care and solicitude for it? Preserving the remembrance of the evils which it suffered when abandoned to itself, how could it reflect without enthusiasm on the happiness it has experienced, since Providence inspired it with the idea of throwing itself into your arms? Its armies were defeated; its finances were in disorder; public credit was annihilated; factions were disputing for the remains of our ancient splendour; every idea of morality, and even of religion, was obscured; the habit of giving and resuming power, left the Magistrates without consideration, and even rendered odious every kind of authority. Your Majesty appeared; you recalled victory to our standards; you established order and economy in the public expenses; the nation, encouraged by the use you made of your authority, resumed confidence in its own resources; your wisdom allayed the rage of party; religion saw her altars raised up; ideas of justice and of justice were awakened in the minds of the citizens, when they saw crimes followed by punishments, and virtues signalized and rewarded with honourable distinctions. In the last place, and it is no doubt the greatest of the miracles operated by your genius, that people, whose civil servitude had rendered them impatient of every restraint, and hostile to every authority, were by your means made to cherish and respect a power which was exercised only for their glory and repulse."
"The French people do not pretend to establish themselves judges of the constitutions of other states; they have no critical remarks to make; no examples to follow; experience in future will become their guide. They have tasted for ages the advantages attached to hereditary power; they have made a short but painful trial of the contrary system; they return, by the effect of free and mature deliberation, to a path suited to their genius. They make a free use of their rights; to delegate to your Imperial Majesty a power which your interest forbids you to exercise by yourself. They stipulate for future generations and by a solemn compact entrust to the offspring of your race the happiness of their posterity. The latter will imitate your virtues, the former will imitate our love and our fidelity. Happy the nation, which, after so much trouble and uncertainty, finds in its bosom a man worthy of appeasing the tempest of the passions, of reconciling all interests, and uniting all voices! Happy the Prince who holds his power by the will, the confidence, and the affections of the citizens!"
"If it be in the principles of our constitution, and already several examples of this kind have been given, to submit to the sanction of the people, that part of the decree which concerns the establishment of an hereditary government; the Senate have thought that it ought to intreat your Imperial Majesty to consent that the organic disposition should be immediately carried into execution; and that, for the glory as well as the happiness of the republic, Napoleon may be immediately proclaimed Emperor of the French."
The Emperor replied in the following terms:
"Every thing that can contribute to the good of the country, is essentially connected with my happiness. I accept the title which you think necessary to the glory of the nation, I submit to the sanction of the people the law of hereditament. I hope France will never repent of its having surrounded my family with honours. In all cases, my spirit will cease to be present with my posterity, the day on which it shall cease to deserve the love and confidence of the great nation."
The Senate being then admitted to an audience of Her Majesty the Empress, the Consul Cambacérès, the President, said,
"Madam, "We have just presented to your august spouse, the decree which confers on him the title of Emperor, which establishes the government hereditary in his family, and associates future generations in the happiness of the present race."
"A very agreeable duty remains to be performed by the Senate—hat of offering to your Imperial Majesty the homage of its respect, and an expression of
the gratitude of the French. Yes, Madam, fame proclaims the good which you are continually doing; it says, that being always accessible to the unfortunate, you employ your influence with the Chief of the State, only to relieve distress; and that, to the pleasure of obliging, your majesty adds that amiable delicacy which renders gratitude sweeter, and the kindness more valuable."
"This disposition prefaces, that the name of the Empress Josephina will be the signal of consolation and of hope, and as the virtues of Napoleon will always serve as an example to his successors, to teach them the art of governing nations, the living remembrance of your goodness will teach their august consorts that the care of drying up tears is the most effectual means of preserving an Empire over all hearts."
"The Senate thinks itself happy in the opportunity of being the first to salute your Empress, and he who has the honour of being its organ, takes the liberty to hope that you will deign to reckon him among the number of your most faithful servants."
His Imperial Majesty then addressed to the Consuls Cambacérès and Lebrun, the following letter.
Citizen Consul Cambacérès.—"Your title is about to be changed; but your functions and my confidence remain the same. In the high dignity of Arch Chancellor, with which you are going to be invested, you will manifest, as you have done in that of Consul, the wisdom of your counsels, and those distinguished talents which have given you so important a share in all the good that I can have done."
"I have nothing therefore to request of you but the continuation of the same sentiments for the state and me."

London, May 26. One of this day's morning papers announces that Mr. Fox gave yesterday a dinner to Mr. Livingston, the American Ambassador to the French republic.
We sincerely hope that the writer of that paragraph is mistaken. As a private gentleman, we believe Mr. Livingston entitled to the respect of every man. But his answer to the French government, upon Mr. Drake's correspondence, is still fresh in the minds of the indignant people of England. He outran all the other ambassadors at Paris; he said, that "the papers proved that Mr. Drake minister of his Britannic majesty at Munich, had entertained a guilty correspondence with traitors for projects which all civilized nations regard with horror."
Having expressed such an opinion, we say that we are astonished he should receive the countenance of Mr. Fox as a public man—of Mr. Fox, a candidate for the post of prime minister of a country which Mr. Livingston has thus treated. For what will be the inference which foreign nations will draw from Mr. Fox's conduct? What will the Moniteur insinuate?
If the morning paper be correct, which we sincerely hope it is not, we shall only say, that by some strange fatality Mr. Fox frequently adopts the most unpopular measures, and that this very countenance shown to Mr. Livingston affords us additional reasons for congratulating the country upon the exclusion of Mr. Fox from the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON CITY,
WEDNESDAY, August 1.
Professor Pelt of Helsingor, has invented a nautical machine to save persons from drowning. To try the effects of it against the united currents of the North Sea and the Baltic, a young waggoner, named Peterfon, having equipped himself in this machine, sprang into the sea, in the presence of numerous spectators, many of whom accompanied him in sailing boats. At his departure he fired a pistol twice; and on his passage he eat, drank and smoked a pipe, to show that he had the entire use of his arms. Being benumbed with cold, he got into a boat to warm himself by rowing; but soon sprang into the water again and happily reached the Swedish coast, after a passage of one hour and a quarter. On his arrival he saluted the spectators with a pistol shot, and waved a flag which he drew from the sea. Having remained a short time at Helsingburgh, he returned to the Danish coast, where he arrived amidst the shouts of the curious, who lined the shore. The machine weighs but seven pounds and sits close round the waist of the wearer.

LEXINGTON, (Ken.) July 3. Dr. Hunter of Philadelphia, arrived in this town on Sunday last on his way to Natchez, where he is to be joined by Mr. Dunbar, of the Mississippi Territory; both of whom are commissioned by the President to ascend Red river to its source; to take the latitude and longitude of the various rivers which enter it, with their courses so far as they can be ascertained; to examine the minerals, &c. of the country through which they pass—then to proceed to the head of the Arkansas, and descend that river, making the same observations, enquiries, &c. and to transmit the result of their inquiries to the President. They will be provided with a barge, a party of men, and the necessary instruments and apparatus to facilitate their inquiries.
Charleston, July 14. It gives us considerable pleasure to state, that Alexander M'Clure, esq. who arrived a few days ago from the East Indies, in the ship Horizon , has not been inactive during his absence, to the interests of this country; for during his stay at the Isle of France, Mozambique, and at the Cape of Good Hope, he, with great pains, collected a variety of seeds of useful plants, which have not heretofore been introduced into this country. The most valuable amongst these, we believe to be the seed of the Bourbon cotton, which is in such request amongst the English manufacturers, as to induce them to give nearly double the price for it that is given for the best cotton raised in this state. We understand that Mr. M'Clure intends to distribute this seed among some planters here and in Georgia, with a request that they will use their endeavours to cultivate it and naturalize it to our climate.
He has also brought in with him as curiosities, a number of birds, either elegant in their plumage or celebrated for their notes. And the lovers of exquisite wine may now be gratified with a taste of the far famed Constantia wine, which is produced by one vineyard only at the Cape of Good Hope; Mr. M'Clure has a considerable quantity of it; formerly this delicious juice was nearly wholly engrossed by the Dutch government, who distributed it in presents to the crowned heads and potentates of Europe; what little was for sale could not be procured in Amsterdam at a less price than a guinea for a pint bottle. When at the Cape, Mr. M'Clure received as a great favor a sow with pig of the Chinese breed of hogs; this breed is a small species of swine, but the flesh is as tender as a chicken and is esteemed a great delicacy. We trust that Mr. M'Clure's well intended exertions will entitle him to the thanks of the cotton planters in the southern states, and that
society will consider him as amongst those who have endeavoured to be of service to it. City Gaz.

"Having already given you an account of what this country does produce, I will now give you an account of what it is capable of producing. And first of the necessary articles. Maize or Indian corn, rye, wheat, barley, beans, peas, potatoes, both the Irish and French, every species of hortulan plant known in England, and some that will not grow in that climate. To the above list of necessary vegetables, may be annexed a proportional quantity of beef, pork and mutton, milk, butter and cheese. For raw materials of clothing, skins, wool, cotton, flax and hemp. When this country opens for settlement, it will differ much from most new settlements if there be not a governmental demand, equal to the produce of the last mentioned article, to purge off the usual influx of rascals. Many of the conveniences of life, not absolutely necessary to our subsistence are included in the above list: those conveniences which approach nearer the luxuries, are as follows: fruits, viz. strawberries, currants, whortleberries, plums of various kinds, every species of grape, and in the southern parts the orange, and perhaps the lime; the fig in greatest perfection in every part of the country. Peaches could be produced in greater abundance than apples in New England. Apples might also be produced but not so well as in the more northern climates. Sugar-cane grows very well towards the Gulf, and in general produces, where cultivated, a profitable crop. At present, however, the culture of cotton supercedes every thing in many parts, and will continue to do so, as long as the high demand for it continues. From the grape the various Wines and Brandy, may be produced; from the cane, sugar, molass, and rum; from peaches, a most delicious, highly flavoured Brandy, and from the grains the different qualities of malt liquor and whiskey. The black mulberry is the natural growth of the rich lands, and the white mulberry might be easily introduced. Silk might be manufactured equal to any part of the world. Animals of use, pleasure and sport, may be increased with great ease; as Horses, Goats, Antelopes and Deer. The waters do not abound in fish, though at this place we get a partial supply. Iron abounds in the country, and from the numerous ticks, it is probable salt may be made. It is not to be understood that all the land in this country is good. There is a large proportion of inferior quality, and the water scarce in summer."
CHARACTER OF A CHOCTAW.
"For the character of these people, collect all the vices possible for ignorant people to commit, with a certain portion of the most amiable virtues, heighten the contrast, by uniting complacency and tenderness with the most obdurate vindictive temperament; shake all together and take out a dose sufficient to hang a white man, and you have a Choctaw."
From capt. Clark, of the Louisa, at the Lazaretta, Philadelphia, July 23.
During my stay at St. Domingo, there came off the harbour 3 British frigates at different periods with flags of truce, to wit, the Blanche , capt. Mudge, the Pique , capt. Ross, and the French clipper capt. Murray. All of these officers were on shore, some of them three days. They said they had no further idea of blockading St. Domingo. There was a division between the two black generals, Christophe and Dessalines, which may prove fatal to the blacks.
General Ferrand, at Santo Domingo, was under no apprehension from the blacks, there being none nearer than 40 leagues. The garrison was supplied with nine months provisions, and the troops healthy.
Spoke, in the Mona passage the British frigate Mermaid , who informed they were cruising for the French troops expected from Havannah to reinforce St. Domingo.
From a New York Paper.
Parson Sampson's apology!
Last week the supreme court of this state held a circuit at Claverack in this county. At this session Messrs. Sampson and Groswell were tried for publishing libels against Ambrose Spencer, esq. in the Balance , of which they were
then joint proprietors, &c. in the spring of last year. The prosecution of Mr. Sampson for publishing certain charges respecting Mr. Spencer's conduct in managing the suit of the people against Harry Groswell for libelling the president, was first tried; when Mr. Sampson proved that the publication was made against his consent, and by Groswell at his own risk, a fact which threw the absence of malice and was urged in mitigation of damages. After the Jury had been out several hours they were called in and dismissed, the matter being compromised by the parties.
Harry Groswell was next tried on the same libel, and failing to prove his charges, his inability to pay a fine was ascertained, and the jury directed to bring in low damages, which they assessed at 120 dollars and costs.
A suit against Mr. Sampson was to have been brought on for publishing among other allegations, the charge of Mr. Spencer's turning out of office an old man who had saved his father's life, for asserting which T. P. Grosvenor, esq. had been fined at Albany. In this cause gov. Clinton, the hon. De Witt Clinton, esq. and several other gentlemen attended as witnesses, but were not examined, as Mr. Spencer who had not commenced these suits from pecuniary motives, withdrew the action upon Mr. Sampson's paying all the charges which had accrued and a sum to Mr. Spencer's counsel, and giving the following apology.
"Having published in the Balance three numbers under my signature addressed to Ambrose Spencer, esq. where in his character is materially impeached—and being now satisfied that the said charges, which are the subject of a suit now depending, are unfounded—express my sincere regret that those publications took place, the same having been made in heat and passion; and I have no hesitancy in declaring, that the moral character of this said Ambrose Spencer is fair and unimpeachable."

EDWARD COLE. Lewistown, Pennsylvania, July 2—

To the Editor of the National Intelligencer.
Sir,
The last century has exhibited a prevalent ardor for colonies and foreign conquest and millions of lives and almost countless sums of money have been expended to obtain them. They are still the sources of strife and bloodshed, and threaten calamities to all the possessors. With the example of European nations before us, we have sufficient warning to avoid the delusive ruinous desire of distant territories. The following estimate of the annual produce from agricultural industry in England and Wales, evinces in a strong point of view the true resources of a nation.
  11 200 000 acres of arable land in crop, &c. £ 56 000 000     44 000 000 acres of hop ground at 30l. 1 320 000   10 000 acres of nurseries from 50 to 100, pay 50l. 500 000   50 000 acres garden ground at 60l. 3 000 000   20 000 acres unprofitable pleasure ground, 21 300 000 acres grass land at 3l. 63 900 000   7 889 000 acres commons 1 000 000   2 000 000 acres wood's copples, &c. at 10s. 1 000 000   1 603 000 acres ways and water   44 115 000   Total annual produce 126 720 000   2 800 000 fallow   49 916 000 Total acres   Cost in labor artificers & horse keep, &c. 56 720 000   Remains net encrease in value on land 70 000 000   Of which the landlord takes 42 000 000   The state in taxes and tithes 13 000 000   The farmers share the remainder in return for capital interest and attention. 15 000 000   70 000 000 
"If the manufacturing and commercial part of Great Britain were to be tried by this rule namely of sharing less than one fourth part of their real gains, they could not exist an hour."
"Agriculture may properly be considered as the art of manufacturing the soil, and unquestionably ranks the highest in the class of manufactures, since it not only makes a greater return for the labor bestowed than all the rest put together, but it is also of the first necessity."
"In this point of view the seed grain may be called the raw materials, amounting to about 15 shillings per acre—when the corn and straw produced from this seed are dressed and sent to market, it may be termed a finished manufacture, the additional value above the 15 shillings is the produce of labor and amounts to about 9l. 5s. an acre, or 1232 per cent on the cost of the raw material."
"Other manufactures cannot support their own population, but on the contrary have a tendency greatly to shorten the duration of life. It is therefore to agriculture's healthy sons, we must look for a supply to make up the loss in manufactures, in great cities, in commerce and in war."
I hope my countrymen will attentively deliberate upon the foregoing statement, let them consider what comforts and what tranquility arises from agriculture.
Great Britain has spent above 1 000 000 000 millions in principal and interest during the reign of one sovereign and all its acquisitions are but burthens and it imports provisions though extensive commons remain waste. Let us not be agitated about the balance of commerce, let us not prefer ploughing the Ocean to ploughing our land. Let us not prefer the golden ores of Mexico to the golden harvests of our soil. Let us not prefer conquering our neighbours to conquering our passions. Let us not prefer party patriots to permanent principles, or sport, superstition, or sovereignty, to replace religion and republicanism. Let us cultivate our soil in quiet, thus shall we encrease our enjoyments and multiply our inhabitants and live at peace with all the world.
50 Dollars reward,

On Tuesday the 21st on the premises, will be sold one other plantation in the Forest at about two miles distance from the former containing by survey 627 and one half acres of land, the greatest part of which is covered with hickory, chestnut and oak wood, and a great proportion of swamp land, which at a trifling expence might be converted into valuable meadow, belongs to this land.
On Thursday the 23rd on the premises, will be sold one other plantation lying adjoining on Chesapeake Bay bounded on the north east by the said bay, on the north by a creek called Parkers creek, containing by survey 536 1-2 acres of land, on this land there are a good proportion of marsh and meadow land and a great abundance of fine timber.
It is thought needless to give a fuller description of the above lands, as it is presumed that those who wish to purchase will view the lands previous to the day of sale—and on application to Mr. John Turner who resides near the two first mentioned tracts; they may see the plans of the different tracts of land, and will show the lands contiguous to him; and Mr. Richard Hance who resides on the last mentioned tract, will show the outlines of the same to any person wishing to view it.
The above lands will be sold either in the whole, or be divided into parcels as may appear most advantageous for the heirs. The purchasers to give bonds with approved securities for the purchase money, to be paid in three annual payments, the interest to be paid yearly and on the ratification of the sale by the court, and a full payment of the purchase money and interest thereon a deed of conveyance will be executed to the purchaser agreeable to an act of Assembly in such case made and provided by

This lottery has been authorised by the Legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes of creating a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dolls. and 2,500 dolls. in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
Richmond, March 2—12 Tickets to be had of Robert Pollard Esq. John Brockenbrough, jun. Wm. Price (Reg.) Samuel Pleasants, jun. and William Prichard.
Travellers Hall.
THE subscriber has lately been induced from the rapid increase of his custom to purchase a lot of ground adjoining that on which he lives for the purpose of building a dining room and assembly room, each 54 feet by 32 feet to inches with six additional lodging rooms, and intends to finish them before the ensuing winter; which together with his tavern and house will occupy a front of near one hundred feet in the most agreeable part of the town and in the center of business being on the highest part of the public square. He has considerably increased the furniture &c. of his house and stables. His domestics and servants are of the most faithful dispositions and properly qualified for the departments to which they are assigned. He has a constant supply of the best stable forage; imported and country provisions, imported liquors, &c. of the first quality, foreign newspapers, &c. And his ice will most probably last through the hot weather.
The distinguished preference which the first characters have already given him, fills him with gratitude. He offers his sincere thanks to all his good friends and begs leave to assure them that neither his time nor his purse shall be spared in attempting to render the Travellers Hall a house of entertainment, for GENTLE GUESTS ONLY, equal to any in America.
