Latest Foreign Intelligence.
His Majesty's Most Gracious Speech, To both Houses of Parliament, On Monday, the 28th June, 1802.
My Lords, and Gentlemen, The public business being concluded, I think it proper to close this Session of Parliament.
During a long and laborious attendance you have invariably manifested the just sense you entertain of the great trust committed to your charge. The objects of your deliberations have been unusually numerous and important, and I derive the utmost satisfaction from the conviction that the Wisdom of your proceedings will be fully proved by their Effects in promoting the best interests of My People throughout every part of my Dominions.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons, The ample provision you have made for the various branches of the public service demands My warmest Acknowledgements; and My particular Thanks are due for the Liberality which you have shown in exonerating My Civil Government and Household from the debts with which they were unavoidably burthened.
Whilst I regret the amount of the supplies which circumstances have rendered necessary, it is a relief to Me to contemplate the state of our manufactures, commerce, and revenue, which afford the most decisive and gratifying proofs of the abundance of our internal resources, and of the growing prosperity of the Country.
My Lords and Gentlemen, As I think it expedient that the election of a new Parliament should take place without delay, it is My intention forthwith to give directions for dissolving the present, and for calling a new parliament.
In communicating to you this intention I cannot suppress those sentiments of entire approbation with which I reflect upon every part of your conduct since I first met you in this place. The unexampled difficulties of our situation required the utmost efforts of that wisdom and fortitude which you so eminently displayed in contending with them, and by which they have been so happily surmounted. From your judicious and salutary measures during the last year, My People derived all the relief which could be afforded under one of the severest dispensations of Providence; and it was by the spirit and determination which uniformly animated your councils, aided by the unprecedented exertions of My fleets and armies, and the zealous and cordial co-operation of My People, that I was enabled to prosecute with success, and terminate with honor the long and arduous contest in which We have been engaged.
The same sense of public duty, the same solicitude for the welfare of your country, will now, induce you in your individual characters, to encourage, by all the means in your power, the cultivation and improvement of the advantages of Peace.
My endeavors will never be wanting to preserve the blessings by which We are so eminently distinguished, and to prove that the prosperity and happiness of all classes of My faithful subjects are the objects which are always the nearest to My heart.
Then the Lord Chancellor, by his Majesty's command, said:—
My Lords and Gentlemen, It is His Majesty's Royal Will and Pleasure, that this Parliament be prorogued to Tuesday the 17th day of August next, to be then here holden; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday the 17th day of August next.
PARIS, June 30.
A letter from Berlin of the 15th, states as follows:
"We now know to a certainty what States fall to the lot of the Prussian Monarch, as an indemnity for his possessions beyond the Rhine, viz. 1st. the Bishoprick of Hildesheim, in Lower Saxony, containing about 54 square leagues, with eight cities (among which are Hildesheim, the population of which amounts to 12,000 souls, Peina and Alfeld,) four borough towns, and 234 villages. This country, though within the circle of the Hanoverian States is contiguous to the western boundaries of the Duchy of Halberstadt, belonging to the King of Prussia; the income of it is about 250,000 crowns currency.
2dly. "The Bishoprick of Paderborn, in Westphalia, 54 square leagues,
with 23 small cities, one borough town, and 136 villages, 60,000 souls; the income 60,000 rix dollars.
3dly. "A part of the Bishoprick of Munster including about one third of that Bishoprick, on the right bank of the Rhine, with 40,000 inhabitants.
4thly. "Erchsfeld, in Thuringia, formerly belonging to the Elector of Mentz, containing forty square leagues, four cities, 162 borough towns & villages, and 74,000 inhabitants; the income is estimated at 300,000 imperial florins.
5thly. "The city of Erfurt, with its territory of 16 leagues. Erfurt contains 14,000 inhabitants there are 73 borough towns and villages, and about 41,677 souls.
6thly. "The imperial city of Goslar, with 6000 inhabitants.
7thly. "The Imperial cities of Mulhausen and Nordhausen; the former of those cities, including its territory, 13,000 and the latter 9000 inhabitants.
"The whole of the indemnities comprehends 200 square leagues, and 600,000 inhabitants; possession will be taken at the beginning of July, and the inhabitants will then take the oath of allegiance to their new sovereign.
We hear from Basle, under date of June 24, that the territory of Vaud is once more the scene of insurrection, and that nothing but the presence of the French troops can preserve the country from being entirely laid waste; the tythes and the fudal rents continue to be the pretext of these illegal meetings. Fresh troops are, however, to be sent to that country for the purpose of supporting the commissary of Government.
Letters from Corsu state, that all night meetings are prohibited there, and that every wise precaution is resorted to for the purpose of ensuring peace and good order.
The First Consul went, last Saturday, to see the national manufactory of Porcelain at Sevres; he remained there near an hour, and examined every thing in detail; his observations on all that he saw was extremely correct, and evinced the great extent of his information with respect to the arts. He appeared highly satisfied to see an establishment which has created a branch of industry in France, that cannot be equalled in any other country in Europe.
In an address to the First Consul, the merchants of Lyons unite with the rest of the commercial interests throughout the country, in demanding that the trade to India shall be laid open, and that no privileged companies may be re-established. "The creation of privileged companies, say they, not only violate the principles, but necessarily compromise the prosperity of commerce. The experience of ages has proved that all privileged companies are ruinous.
England itself would not have derived greater benefit from them, if she had not united to the advantages of her commerce, those that resulted from her sovereignty. Never were the French companies so valuable or important as those which were established in the east, from the year 1773 to 1779, by individual speculators. In all cases it is observed that privileged bodies abuse their monopoly in promoting their own interests, without any consideration to those of France. Exclusive privileges would, above all, be disastrous to the manufacturers of Lyons, for it is admitted that individuals have the means of introducing a greater quantity of our manufactures, such as wire, hats, cloths, &c. than any company can possess. It is no less evident that individuals could, more effectually than any company, import into France those productions of India which are necessary for our manufactures."
A letter from Ratisbon, of the 20th of June, states: "Several of the accredited ministers to the diet have received from their courts intimation, that the arrangements relative to the indemnities are already agreed upon, and that there remains nothing more to be settled upon this subject but a few subordinate points of very little consequence. The most powerful princes of Germany will immediately take possession of the several states assigned to them, in which the necessary oaths of fidelity are to be taken. An Imperial decree is expected to be immediately presented to the diet, recommending a revocation of the conclusion for nominating an extraordinary deputation of the Empire, which, from recent circumstances and events, would be useless and unnecessary; and at the same time announcing to the assembly of the German states, that the ar-
rangements agreed upon between the government of France, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and by which the several indemnities have been settled, will shortly be submitted for the approval of the diet."—La Publiciste.
A letter from Munich, of the same date says, "It is undoubtedly true that the plan of indemnities has been communicated to our Elector, who, following the example of other powers purposes taking immediate possession of the countries which have been allotted to him."
The English, agreeable to the terms of the Treaty of Amiens, evacuated Porto Ferrajo (Isle of Elba) in the night of the 10th of June, on which occasion some compliments passed between the British and French Commanders.
The pension which the new King of Sardinia (the Duke d'Aoste) has agreed to pay to his brother, is said to be 50,000 piastres, upwards of 250,000 livers or about 12,000l. sterling.
PETERSBURGH, June 2.
During the absence of his Imperial Majesty, his august Spouse will reside at Pawlowky with the Empress Mother; but the Grand Duke Constantine remains here. This Prince and Count Nicholas Soltikow have the direction of the Council during the absence of our Monarch. It is tho't his Majesty will return in six weeks.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 20.
The following is a copy of the Act by which the Sublime Porte has acceded to the Treaty of Amiens:—
"In consequence of an uninterrupted succession of favours and bounties poured upon us by that being who is indissoluble & immutable, the supreme creator, Almighty and All Good; the founder of the power of the Caliphs, everlasting and ever glorious assisted by the universally salutary miracles of our great prophet Mehmed Mustapha, minister of the prophet and Conductor of the saints, who are the Suns of the two worlds; (may the choicest blessing rest upon him and those who accompanying him)—I, who am his servant, and Lord of Mecca, Medina, the Holy Jerusalem and its temples, and all of the holy and high places whither all nations bear the tribute of their prayers; I, the supreme Caliph and happy Monarch of so many happy countries, provinces, cities, fortresses, and castles situated in Romelia and Natolia, on the white and black seas in Hidjaz and Ifak, and who am the envy of all the potentates of the world; I, who am Sultan, and son of a Sultan and Emperor, Son of the Emperor Sultan Ghase Selim Khan, who was the son of Sultan Mustapha Khan, who was the son of Sultan Achmed Khan:—
"I make known, by the present sublime act of our imperial power and Caliphate, that, in virtue of the 19th article of the definitive treaty of peace, concluded and signed on the 22d day of the moon Kilkade, last year (1216,) or the 27th of March 1802, of the christian era, between the plenipotentiaries of the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French Republic, the court of Spain, and the Batavian Republic, on the one part; and on the other, the Plenipotentiary of his majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Sublime Porte was comprised in this treaty, which has been communicated to it and ratified by the said Powers; and the said Sublime Porte, the Ally of his Majesty the King of England, has been invited to accede as soon as possible to this Treaty: and as the entire cessation of the calamities of war, and the employment of those salutary measures which may tend to the re-establishment and security of the general repose form the chief object of our zeal and desires as a sovereign, we accede to the articles and stipulations of the said treaty which concern or may concern our sublime Porte; and we declare our acceptance of them as if they were here inserted word for word; we confirm and certify the re-establishment of peace, and the happy ties of friendship between our Sublime Porte and the most Serene French Republic, and between the inhabitants of both states. In testimony whereof, we affix to the present Act of Accession our glorious Imperial signature. As upon our part we have accepted the articles and stipulations of the said treaty, there cannot be any doubt that they will be scrupulously observed.
"Given the 11th, day of the Moon Monhawer, and in the year of the Hegira, 1217.

LONDON, June 28.
Letters from the North of Germany announce positively, that the Duke of Cambridge, will be immediately proclaimed Sovereign of the state of Brunswick, Lunenburg, and elector of Hanover.—The King of England his father, will cede to him all his possessions in Germany. The inhabitants of the Electorate of Hanover applauded this change in their government, which will establish a splendid court in the city of Hanover. It will not however, be carried into execution until the affairs of the Germanic Empire shall be entirely decided.

Mr. Lambert, the mate, informs us, it was reported there that a combination of the

Northern Powers against the Moors was morning, which was the cause of the prohibition of the exportation of mules and wool.

PHILADELPHIA, August 25.
The accounts, we daily see in the different papers we receive, of the ravages of the Yellow Fever on board of our vessels in the different ports in the West Indies and Southern Ports, are really distressing: to the list we have to add that the brig
Quadril, arrived at Cape Francis from this port, after a passage of 25 days, in good health, but soon after her arrival, her people began to sicken, and when the accounts came away, she had lost four or five, among which were a son of Mr. Sibert's, of the Northern Liberties, and John Wonderly, of this city. Others were sick, among which was the Cabin boy, and the captain feared his turn was not far off. The same account adds, that it was very sickly on shore, and that between 60 and 70 were buried daily.
We are told, that orders are received to fit the United States ship Philadelphia, now in this port, for sea immediately, supposed for the Mediterranean.
The Midshipmen, who were in and about this city, have most of them received orders to repair to Washington.

THE RAT IN THE STATUE.
A celebrated wit of the last century introduced into one of his speculations the following allegory, from Du Halde's account of China:—"Hoen Kong asked his minister Koan Tchong, What was the most to be lamented in a government? Koan Tchong answered, "In my mind, nothing is more to be lamented than what they call the rat in the statue. "
Hoen Kong not understanding the allegory, Koan Tchong explained it to him. "You know, Sire, said he, that it is a common thing to erect statues to the genius of the place; these statues are of wood, hollow within, and painted without. If a rat gets into one of them, one does not know how to get at him; one does not care to make use of fire, for fear of burning the wood; one cannot dip it in water, for fear of washing off the colors; so that the regard one has for the statue, saves the rat that has got into it. Such, Sire, are in every government those, who without talents, virtue or merit, have by falsehood, intrigue and hypocrisy foisted themselves into the direction of public affairs: They threaten to ruin every thing; one sees it, one laments it; but does not know how to remedy it." Thus much for the allegory, and its eastern moral. To bring them home, it will be seen that the Government of these States is the STATUE—Who the destructive RAT is, is more obvious. But we are not, like the Chinese, destitute of a remedy. Though we shall not care to use fire or water, yet the time will come when it will be proper to try, what effect a thorough shaking of the Statue, or an incessant fumigation thereof may do to rid it of its mischievous tenant. Until that time we can follow the advice of Tacitus, and while we reverence past administrations, and submit to the present, we may be allowed to hope for the future.
[Colum. Cent.]
Chetham's New York Citizen is attempting a reply to the Evening Post on the subject of Jefferson and Callender.—The citizen still adheres to its first position, that Mr. Jefferson did not give to Mr. Callender one hundred dollars for writing the "Prospect before us." To prove this, he extracts a number of passages from the Prospect which "are pointedly opposed to the principle of our federal union, and to the constitution under which we have the happiness to live"—"His doctrines," says the Citizen, "go directly to a theoretic dissolution of the Union; and if the theory obtain, a practical one will inevitably follow."—"Will it be believed then" the Citizen emphatically asks, "that Mr. Jefferson gave 100 dollars for writing against the very cement of the UNION, the guarantee of our freedom?"
This is doubtless a strong argument, with those who believe that Mr. Jefferson has really become friendly to the constitution. We have nothing to oppose it but incontrovertible fact, which fact Mr. George Jefferson is ready to attest. With those who think this a stronger argument than that of the Citizen, perhaps a different conclusion will be thought to follow from the premises of the Citizen: namely, that inasmuch as the Prospect confessedly inculcates doctrines pointedly opposed to the principle of our federal union, and inasmuch as it is a fact incontrovertibly proved, that Mr. Jefferson paid one hundred dollars for the Publication of the work containing these doctrines, we have an additional evidence of Mr. Jefferson's continued hostility to our system of government.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COCKPIT, WHITEHALL.
Wednesday, June 2.
Before the most noble and right hon. the Lords Commissioners of Appeals in Prize Causes.
(An appeal from Martinique.)
The FRANKLIN, Wm. Cox, master.
This was the case of a ship under American colors, with a cargo of cotton, coffee, cocoa and rocou, bound on a voyage from Cayenne and Surinam to Philadelphia, which was captured on the 12th of June, 1797, by the private ship of war the Experiment, Charles Potter, commander, and carried to St. Pierre, in the island of Martinique, where the captors duly proceeded to adjudication.
It appeared on the 7th of July, 1797, the master gave a claim for the ship and cargo as the property of Francis Breuil, of the city of Philadelphia, merchant, a citizen of the United States of America, and for nine bales of cotton, being his private adventure. It was submitted on the part of the captors, that the outward bound cargo, (which consisted of provisions) was
gone on account of a French merchant resident at Cayenne, for the supply of the French Colony, and that Mr. Breuil was merely an agent in the transaction. On behalf of the claimant it was submitted that the court had all the documents with respect to the ship and the outward and return cargo, fully pointing out that Mr. Breuil was the actual proprietor, and therefore trusted their lordships would restore the same as claimed.
Their lordships affirmed the sentence of the court below, and immediately adjourned.
A PROTEST.
Of the Hon. Judge BASSETT against the late act of Congress which goes to prostrate at the feet of fashion, the Judicial Department of our government, and thro' it, that Charter of our Liberty and Independence, the Federal Constitution.
(Continued.)
By article 2. The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of "four years, and together with the Vice-President chosen "for the same term, be elected as follows," &c.
As well might the Legislature attempt to repeal or abolish the office of Vice-President or even the President himself, on the ground that they were too expensive or unnecessary, as of the judges after their appointment. There is no constitutional restriction upon them in the one case, which does not exist in the other. Each holds his office by the same words, under the constitution, differing only in duration.
So Representatives and Senators from the States, have no other security for the continuance of their offices for two and six years, than those words in the constitution, which say they shall be chosen for two and six years. No restriction is put on Congress, against increasing or diminishing the duration of their appointment, because none was necessary: for the PEOPLE having prescribed in that instrument how long Representatives and Senators, the President and Vice President, and the judges should hold their office, it would follow, that as soon as their appointments were legally completed by the lawful means the right of exercising them, in point of duration vested in them under the constitution which protects the office and its exercise so long, against any power but that of the People and States, acting in their original character by amendments.
It has been asked shall judges hold their offices and be paid their salaries for life; even though the legislative body might from fair motives of public convenience and economy be desirous of removing them? The answer is found in the Constitution of the Country.
The people in that, empowered Congress to erect courts, and apportion out among them the judicial powers of the government.
But when ordained and established by Congress, it is declared the judges shall hold the offices thus created, during their good behavior.
The people had to choose between the possible, but comparatively trifling, inconvenience of maintaining the office of judges when once appointed, until their decease, provided they behaved well; and the immense and never ceasing evils, resulting to liberty and justice, from placing their judges under the control and at the will of the Legislative department.—They well understood that all the checks and limitations introduced into the charter of government, respecting the rights and obligations of the several States, or in favor of the citizens, would become nugatory the moment that the offices and compensations of the judges were to be held at the pleasure of majorities in the Legislature. It was easy to perceive that a legislative body which held in its hand the offices and livings of those who were to decide whether their acts were contrary to the constitutional law, would at any time command the constitution, and make it yield to their wishes and views. If their law was resisted by the judiciary, as violating the superior law of the constitution there would be no difficulty in asserting that the obnoxious judges were unnecessary, or too expensive, or that a better system could be framed: And judges would be soon found more pliant to the governing powers.
Thus all the advantages of an independent judiciary would be lost: lost to the people and to the constitution.
But as I have before said, thus it is written in the charter of government. If the people can be persuaded, that in creating an INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY they have no security; if, on experience they shall find the courts too inconvenient, or the judges too expensive, the remedy is plain and expeditious. Let amendments be proposed in the manner provided in the fifth article of the constitution.—They can be obtained, if such is the real wish of the people, almost as soon as the passage of an act of Congress.
(To be continued.)

The Commissioners having obtained the necessary number of shares, avail themselves of the earliest opportunity of calling together the subscribers, in conformity to the law; they recommend a personal attendance if practicable, as it may be necessary to pass some bye laws and regulations for conducting the Company's affairs; where that is too inconvenient, it will be proper to appoint a proxy in writing attested by one witness at least.
