Latest Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, July 29.
Accounts have been received by the Lisbon mail of the American ship Hudson, having been captured on her passage from New York, for Naples, by a Spanish privateer, and carried into Cadiz, where both ship and cargo have been condemned. It was supposed that the numerous insults previously offered by Spanish Cruizers to the American flag, were unauthorised by the government, and would be disclaimed by it; but the recent adjudication of the Spanish admiralty court has torn from the United States that pleasing delusion and will doubtless be followed by measures of more active hostility. It is now said that the troops taken out by Gravina were to re-inforce the Floridas, that the Cadiz squadron is designed to support the negotiation, which it was proposed to renew at Washington, respecting Louisiana, and the other objects in dispute between the two governments.
We understand that government, enter- tain no doubt with respect to the recall of M. Novoziltzoff, and believe that he has actually set out on his return to Peters- burg.
Some letters by the last Lisbon mail, im- pute the sudden order for the sailing of the Walsington Packet, to the receipt of over- land dispatches from Spain, which, altho' their contents were kept secret, were with- out hesitation, presumed to bring the ulti- matum of the French and Spanish courts, and to leave the prince regent no choice, between shutting the ports of Portugal a- gainst the English flag and commerce, and an immediate invasion by the combined powers. We are rather inclined to impute the sudden sailing of the Walsingham to the receipt of dispatches announcing the sailing of the Carthagena fleet on the 25th ult.
A letter from Lisbon mentions on the au- thority of accounts brought by the Decade, the death of the French commander in chief, Admiral Villeneuve.
Private letters from Paris state, that Bonaparte returned from Italy sooner than was expected, on account of some pretend- ed plots discovered by Fouche, and some real discontent among the troops on the coast, whose pay was, until the first of July, three months behind. Though se- veral examples of severity have been shewn, the mutinous disposition continued, and instead of abating increased! This was particularly the case with the troops en- camped near Brest, under the command of Angereau. Last month the Irish Guides attached to that army presented a petition for their pay to the general, & complained bitterly of their sufferings. The six per- sons deputed to present the petition were immediately shot and the whole corps or- dered to be re-organised. Some of the of- ficers were broken, and others condemned to transportation to Cayenne. They were all succeeded by Frenchmen, with whom the Irish guides are very much dissatisfied. Two regiments of dragoons and four bat- talions of infantry, were, on account of their mutinous disposition sent by Ange- reau to the interior, from whence the minister Berthier ordered them to Italy. It is reported at Paris, that when, on the 21st of June, Angereau ordered his army to embark on board the fleet under Gan- theaume, the troops, to a man, refused to obey, until the arrears due to them were acquitted.

The arrival of the Malta, of 80 guns, at Plymouth, on Saturday, with dispatches from sir Robert Calder, has put an end to the sanguine hopes so generally entertained that our squadron would have succeeded in bringing the combined fleet once more into action. It now appears that from the even- ing of the 25th ult. none of the enemy's vessels were to be seen. We have been favored with a letter from an officer on board the Malta, which the following is an extract:
"Malta, at Plymouth, Aug. 3.
"I am safe and well, after a smart brush with the enemy, the particulars of which you must have before this. To our sur- prize and mortification, after losing a glo- rious opportunity of completely destroying the combined squadron, and adding addi- tional honor to the British flag, we have let them completely escape from us, and our ship is arrived at Plymouth. From the hour of the battle on the 22d, till the 25th, we had the power in our hands of at- tacking them again with every prospect of success. Indeed, so confident were we of it, that every man in the Malta, I will swear, panted for the order for the fresh attack. It is not for me to attach blame to a supe-
rior officer, much less a commander in chief on this occasion. He may have reasons, private reasons, and indeed orders of such a peculiar nature that govern his conduct, and tie up his hands. But where did a bet- ter opportunity offer itself, with such a glo- rious prospect of victory? and that, has been most clearly lost. Few of our ships, except the Windsor Castle, have been in- jured, and not a single man undaunted in the fleet, with an enemy evidently in ter- ror, and flying before us.
"After the battle on the 22d, we conti- nued idle, in fact, doing nothing, till the enemy was completely out of sight. It was the object of our admiral most clearly to keep them from getting into Corunna or Ferrol; and we presume he was daily, even hourly expecting the fleet of lord Nelson. We therefore stretched away for Ferrol, where we arrived on the 29th, from which place we were dispatched for England on the 31st. and arrived here to-day. The combined fleets, we are perfectly satisfied, were bound for Cadiz."
August 8.
An order, it is said, was sent to all the out posts some time ago, instructing our cruisers to detain all American vessels which have on board property not the pro- perty of the U. States. This order has been already acted upon, and several ships have been stopped. The American con- sul, it is reported, applied to government yesterday for an explanation; but we are not acquainted with the answer he re- ceived.
It has been ascertained that the Ame- rican ships have for a length of time been in the practice of going to the Isle of France and the French ports in the W. Indies, to bring away produce, which they finally carried into French or Dutch ports. Their usual custom was to touch at an A- merican port, in order to give the cargoes the appearance of being American proper- ty; but it is very well known that such car- goes were never landed. It is in conse- quence of these proceedings that the or- ders above mentioned had been issued.

HAMBURG, July 19.
Baron Novoziltzoff cannot have left Ber- lin on his return to St. Petersburg, till the 17 inst. and he must have held some more conference before that time. Copies of the note transmitted by baron Hardenburg, have been communicated by the latter to all the foreign ministers residing at Berlin, to be transmitted to their courts, which they all did, with the exception of the French envoy, M. Laporest, who refused to re- ceive the said copy. The king of Prussia, it is asserted, has thereupon transmitted by his ministry, a note to the said envoy, con- taining the strongest assurances of amity towards the French government, and the most flattering expression to the envoy.
PHILADELPHIA, September 17.
By the ships Sally, arrived at Boston in 28 days from Liverpool, and London Packet, at this port from London.
Constantinople, June 16.
After the Captain Pacha had taken on board a considerable number of troops, he sailed yesterday, with a fair wind for E- gypt.
The emperor of Russia has long made application to the Porte for the free na- iga- tion of the Phasis, in Mengrelia for his subjects, and his Minister, Count Italinsky, has had frequent conferences with the Reis Effendi on the subject. A treaty has at length been concluded between the two courts, by which the Porte grants to the court of Russia not only the free navigation demanded, but also two forts on the Phasis, viz. the Castle Cotalis, and the village of Pole, in which Russian garrisons will be placed to defend the navigation. The Porte has transmitted advice of the conclusion of this treaty to the Bashaw of Enzerum, with orders to him to give every assistance to the Russians in the Phasis, and to protect them in case of need.
The English consul general at Constan- tinople, has received fresh advices from the East Indies, which not only confirm the ac- counts received by the last, of the defeat and entire ruin of the army of Holkar, but also bring intelligence of farther progress made by the English, and the complete sub-
jection of the petty princes of the Mahrat- tas.
St. Petersburg, July 3.
For some days nothing has been talked of here, but an approaching war. A courier has been sent off to M. Novisiltzoff, with orders to discontinue his journey. It is said that a considerable body of troops are assembling on the frontiers of Prussia and Galicia. Notwithstanding all this, how- ever, we see no military preparations, nor any inclination to confirm these reports of war.
Nuremberg, July 8.
The French general Hedouville, late en- voy at St. Petersburg, is gone to Venice where a French commissary is also at pre- sent.
IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.
BERLIN, July 13.
The negotiation from which all Eu- rope to this moment expected peace and the restoration of tranquility has miscarri- ed.
Baron Novoziltzoff has returned the passports which he had received from Mi- lan through the mediation of our court, for his mission to France, with the follow- ing note:
NOTE
From his excellency baron Novoziltzoff, to his excellency baron Hardenburg, min- ister of state.
"When his majesty the emperor of all the Russias in compliance with the wishes of his Britannic majesty, had resolved to send the undersigned to Bonaparte, to meet the pacific overtures which he had made to the court of London, his Russian majesty was guided by two sentiments and motives of equal force with which you are acquainted, namely his desire, on the one hand, to support a sovereign who was ready to make exertions and sacrifices for the general tranquility, and on the other hand to procure advantages to all the states of Europe, from a pacific disposition, which from the former in which it was an- nounced must be considered as very sin- cere.
"The existing disagreement between Russia and France could have placed in- surmountable obstacles in the way of a ne- gotiation of peace by a Russian minister; but his imperial majesty of Russia did not hesitate, for a moment, to pass over all per- sonal displeasure, and all usual formalities.
"His imperial majesty of Russia availed himself of the mediation of his Prussian majesty, when he requested the passports for his plenipotentiary. He declared that he should only receive them on that parti- cular condition, namely that his plenipoten- tiary should enter directly upon a negotia- tion with the chief of the French govern- ment, without acknowledging the new title which he had assumed; and that Bonaparte should give explicit assurances that he was still animated by the same wish for a general peace which he had appeared to shew in his letter to his Britannic majesty.
"This preliminary assurance was the more necessary, since Bonaparte had as- sumed the title of king of Italy immediate- ly upon receipt of the answer given by his Britannic majesty to his letter of the 1st of January; a title which itself put a new ob- stacle in the way of the desired restoration of peace.
"After his Prussian majesty had trans- mitted the positive answer from the cabinet of the Tuilleries, that it persevered in the intention sincerely to lend its hand to a pa- cific negotiation, his imperial majesty of Russia accepted the passports the more read- ily, because the French government shewed so strong an inclination to transmit them.
"By a fresh transgression of the most so- lemn treaties, the union of the Ligurian republic with France has been effected. The event of itself, the circumstances which have accompanied it, the formalities which have been employed to hasten the execution thereof, the moment which has been chosen to carry the same into execu- tion, have, alas! formed an aggregate which must terminate the sacrifices which his Imperial majesty of Russia would have made at the pressing request of Great Bri- tain, and in hope of restoring the necessa- ry tranquility of Europe by the means of negotiation.
"Without doubt his imperial majesty of Russia would not have insisted so strenu- ously on the conditions fixed by him, if the French government had fulfilled the hope that it would respect the first tie which holds society together, and which upholds the confidence of engagements between civiliz- ed nations; but it cannot possibly be be- lieved, that Bonaparte, when he granted the passports, which were accompanied with
the most pacific declarations, seriously in- tended to fulfil them; because, during the time which would necessarily elapse be- tween the granting of passports and the ar- rival of the undersigned at Paris, he took measures, which, far from facilitating the restoration of peace, were of such a nature that they annihilated the very grounds of peace.
"The undersigned, in recalling to the recollection of his excellency baron Har- denburg, facts with which the cabinet of his Prussian majesty is very minutely acquaint- ed, must at the same time inform him, that he has just now received from his Russian majesty an order dated the 9th (21st) June to return the annexed passports immedia- tely, and to request your excellency to transmit the same to the French govern- ment, with this present declaration, since no use whatever can be made of them in the present state of affairs.
"The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to renew to his excellency the assurance of his respect.
(Signed)
"N. VON NOVOZILTZOFF.
"Berlin, 28th June, O. S." July 10, 1805. The above note was immediately trans- mitted by all the ministers, except M. La- forest, the French envoy, residing here, to their respective courts, by messengers and expresses.
This day or to morrow baron Novozilt- zoff will leave Berlin, on his return to St. Petersburg.
[In our next we shall publish a reply to the foregoing note, considered in Europe as the expose of Bonaparte on the recall of M. Novoziltzoff.]
NORFOLK, September 9.
This morning a letter was put into our hands from a very respectable gentleman of this borough, stating circumstances which we are very sorry to learn, but com- ing from such a respectable source, we cannot for a moment doubt their veracity, and our duty dictates an exposure of such intolerable conduct.
The New-York packet Weymouth, on her passage from this to New-York, having on board several ladies and gentlemen of this place, was met by the British sloop of war Hawke and Driver, who fired several shot at the packet, after she had hove to, and within 100 yards distance. The lieu- tenant, who came on board, behaved in the most brutal manner, reviling the A- mericans in the grossest terms, and wishing that his nation was at war with us. They were in the act of taking two slaves from on board, when observing their age, the officer declared, if they were not so old he would have taken them.
Those outrages, committed in sight of our ports, and by persons whose stations would lead to a supposition that they were gentlemen, cannot be censured in terms stronger than they merit.
More Spoliation.—We are sorry to an- nounce the capture of the brig Catharine, captain Seward, from Antigua, of and for this port, laden with a valuable cargo of rum, for account of citizens of the United States and merchants of this place and Portsmouth. The Catharine was taken by a French privateer, and ordered for Porto-Rico. There has not been a capture yet made which has excited more alarm and more indignation. There was not the least colorable pretext for this capture; the owners of the vessel and of all the cargo are well known to us, and they are all citizens of the United States. The only reason for the capture was the value! This information comes by a letter from Port- land—received by last mail. The duties on this cargo would have been upwards of 6500 dollars! so goes the revenue.
September 14.
The following interesting Communication from the British admiral, commanding the blockading squadron off Cadiz, to the American captains, was handed us by capt. Hatton, from St. Lucar.
Dreadnought, off Cadiz, July 23, 1805.
GENTLEMEN,
"I VERY much lament the inconvenience or loss which the sub- jects of neutral states may suffer by the sup- pression of the Spanish trade in the ports of Cadiz and San Lucar by his majesty's, order for its prohibition having been pub- licly notified, and sufficient time given for its general promulgation throughout Eu- rope, before it was acted upon by this squadron before Cadiz. I cannot, not- withstanding the most sincere disposition I have at all times felt to give every secu- rity and facility to the lawful trade of neu- trals, allow the ships which have received cargoes on board since my arrival upon this coast, to proceed on their voyage with them; if there were any impediments to the regular notification of the measure, by

The respective ministers, I am sorry for it, the appearance of the squadron off this coast, and their having in lieu of it turned to other ports all neutral ships which appeared with the purpose of entering it, was a sufficient indication of the service they were employed on, and so clearly marked Cadiz and San Lucar to be blockaded ports, as they are defined in the existing treaties, and particularly in the Convention of Petersburg, 1801, that no doubt could remain, or other notification be necessary.
Those ships (many of which were Americans) that had received their cargoes, or a principal part of it before my arrival here, have allowed to proceed on their voyage, for it is the trade of Spain alone that I would intercept; if neutrals are involved in it, and their interest in some degree suffer, it is an accident that I regret, but cannot prevent. Those that were in port not loaded, may now depart in ballast; but the American brig which is ballast on the 10th inst. in breach of the blockade will be seized, whenever she comes out, though she may be in ballast. The complaint of the master of the Portuguese schooner, I found it too well founded, you may depend I shall take proper notice of it with respect to the officer, and measures that I hope will prevent the recurrence of such conduct in future towards those who in their lawful pursuits, are entitled to kind offices, rather than harshness, severity, and unjustifiable threats.
I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble servant, CUTBERT COLLINGWOOD.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.
COMMUNICATION. Departed this life on Friday the 13th instant, about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, after a long and painful illness, in the 38th year of her age, the amiable and much lamented MRS. BETSY P. ASHTON, consort of RICHARD W. ASHTON, Esq. of King George county, Virginia. This most excellent of women died, as she lived, with that firmness, patience, and piety so singular to her life and character. She has left a husband truly unfortunate, eight hapless children, a family of afflicted domestics, and a respectable and numerous neighborhood of friends and relations to bemoan a loss irreparable. Her superior understanding made it her happiness to prefer what was useful in life to all that the world calls pleasure—her glory was to live in the duties of wife and mother—to consecrate her days to the practice of piety and virtue—to promote industry and use economy—to take her exclusive pleasures in attending to those things that gave happiness to her husband, and to cultivate peace and harmony with all the world. She governed her children by modesty and mildness, her domestics by lenity and goodness, her relations by humanity and affection, her neighbors by friendship and kindness. She had a deportment of reserve and dignity that commanded respect, of prudence and firmness that made her esteemed, of indulgence and sensibility that caused her to be loved. Her house was the residence of all religious sentiments, of conjugal love, of maternal tenderness, of peace and order; and to finish the picture of her unsearchable worth and character as well as we can, she may be justly considered as one of the greatest and best gifts of Heaven, only placed here for a short time as a truly pious and virtuous example of human nature; and now called above to receive the reward of her most excellent works in the honor, glory, and happiness of life eternal.

The United States frigate PRESIDENT, from the Mediterranean, (via Hampton Roads) passed by this city this morning, at ten o'clock, on her way to Washington.
We understand that the secretary of commerce Barron arrived here on Monday evening with dispatches for our government. But we believe there is neither president nor secretary to receive them. We suppose they will be dispatched to Monticello, where the president and secretary of war are—or to Baltimore where the secretary of the navy is. We do not hear that there is any for the secretary of state, who is present at or near Philadelphia. [Washington Federalist.]
We have since heard that the dispatches were forwarded on the evening of their arrival to the secretary of the navy at Baltimore; and that an officer from commodore Barron, had gone on to Monticello to the president. [Ibid.]
Captain Cazneau, arrived at New-York from Cadiz, sailed from thence on the 5th of August, when signals were hoisted for the Spanish fleet from Carthagena, consisting of eight sail of the line; in consequence six sail of the line dropped down to the mouth of the harbour to join them. On the following day he heard a heavy cannonading. Captain C. adds, that Cadiz was strictly blockaded.
According to the last accounts, the combined Fleet reached Vigo bay about the time lord Nelson reached Gibraltar. Vigo in the Portuguese charts, is given at 42°, 13, N. L. at the Cape Faselis, while Ferrol is given at 43°, 34, and Cadiz at 36°, 36. The difference of longitude, between Ferrol and Vigo is about half a degree, and about two degrees between Vigo and Cadiz. While the English threaten severely the commerce of Spain, by the most vigorous blockade of its principle ports, the Spaniards have prohibited English manufactures with the same penalties as in Holland.
[Salem paper.]
On the 7th instant, the house of the reverend Thomas Greir, (pastor of the Presbyterian church in Middletown, Pennsylvania) together with his furniture and clothing, were consumed by fire. Such was the progress and rapidity of the flames when discovered, that it was with difficulty the family escaped the effects of the raging element.
General Moreau seems to receive a welcome from all parties in this country. How will this be considered by Bonaparte? Our opinion is that Bonaparte's persecution of this veteran soldier originated in his sense of Moreau's popularity in France, and that the reception he may meet in the United States will be a matter of very little consequence to the Emperor. The bon accueil which may be given to Moreau here will not diminish the splendor or security of the usurper. It may hereafter be a convenient subject of dispute, but it will not be discussed, until weightier matters are settled. [Philadelphia paper.]
The recent intelligence from the Mediterranean of the ransom of our fellow-citizens from Tripoline captivity and the peace concluded by the Bashaw of that regency, makes every article of intelligence from that quarter of some importance. The following particulars are gathered from a letter from Dr. Cowdry, one of those captives, to his father residing in Vermont, dated, Tripoli, November the 7th, 1804:
He observes that proposals of peace had been agitated, without effect: the Bashaw demanding for peace and the ransom of the prisoners, one million of dollars, whereas commodore Preble in behalf of the government offered 120000. The Bashaw continues the Dr. has been on the throne about 11 years. On the death of his father, the former Bashaw, he usurped the throne by killing one of his elder brothers, and driving the other out of his dominions into Egypt. He is very cruel to his subjects when he finds them guilty of crimes: For murder, treason, &c. he beheads them; for theft, or house breaking, he takes off the left hand and right foot, at the joint, and dips the stumps into boiling tar: For less crimes he gives them the bastinado, as the Turks call it:—This is done by tying up the feet with a rope, and beating upon the breech, and soles of the feet, with a large stick. They often perish under the operation. Yet this cruel prince is remarkably fond of children and kind to the poor. He is about 35 years of age, has 2 wives, one white and one black; by the former he has five, by the latter four children. A plurality of wives is allowed in this country. He is a white-man of middling size, rather portly and tolerably handsome. He has a bomb-proof room, which he occupied during the rattling of shells and shot, and the sounding of Columbian thunder.
Present scene at New York!
Perhaps, says the New York Daily Advertiser, at no former visitation of the alarming epidemic, was the spread of the fever more rapid, or the flight of the citizens more sudden. Scarcely had the dread disease made its approach, when it extended itself widely around the place of its first appearance, and soon penetrated into the interior of the city. Nor was the
the terror of the inhabitants less instant.— Taught by painful experience the fatal nature of the epidemic, those most immediately exposed to its dangers, fled almost instantaneously, from the seat of disease.— Anxious to prosecute their usual pursuits, many of the citizens engaged houses and stores in the vicinity of the town, and particularly at Greenwich, so that the rents soon became enormous, indeed in some instances incredible. Soon the streets and roads were covered with the goods and furniture of the fleeing inhabitants, and both in and out of town all was solicitude and bustle. Others again who chose a more distant retreat hurried away by water in every direction, so that in a day or two, thousands had disappeared, and the most populous part of the city was left uninhabited.
And yet though safety was so generally sought in flight, it was our lot not unfrequently to see the sable and solitary hearse, "slow moving to the mansion of the dead," while perhaps a single mourner or two followed at an awful distance. With what anxiety have we seen the populace crowd around the health-office to ascertain who more of their fellow citizens had been seized by the dread distemper, and who more were numbered with the dead. But enough on the melancholy theme at present —It will recur but too frequently.
From the Boston Gazette.
Messrs. RUSSEL & CUTLER, I send you a copy of a sentence of condemnation, passed on the 23d of July by judge Scott, on the brig Enock and cargo of this town.—They were condemned on the ground of her cargo being brought from an enemy's colony, and re-shipped in the same vessel to an enemy's country in Europe.—Much valuable property having lately been condemned upon the same plea, it is important that the public should be made acquainted with it—Yours A. B.
COURT OF ADMIRALTY, DOCTORS COM. Tuesday July the 23, 1805.
Before the Right Hon. Sir William Scott, sentence in the case of Enoch Doane, Master:—
COURT—The rule of law on voyages of this kind, is now after much deliberation laid down by an authority [The Decree of the lords in the case of the Essex-Orne] which will bind me, that the circumstances of landing the goods, or securing the duties do not furnish complete evidence of the termination of the voyage. It is necessary and must be proved that the original intention was that the ship go to the country to which she belonged.—If it does appear that the original intention was, that the ship should go to the neutral country merely for the purpose of touching there, & immediately pursuing her voyage, that will not protect the vessel; it must be treated upon the footing of one continued voyage, from the colony of the enemy to the mother country. It is only necessary to consider, whether the circumstances of this case are such which lead to the unavoidable conclusion, that it was the intention of the party to pursue the voyage from Martinique to the port of Antwerp. I am of opinion that there is conclusive proof of that. From what has been stated it appears that the ship came to Boston, that part of her goods were landed, her bottom cleared; that she immediately pursued her voyage to Antwerp, and that this was under a charter party before the ship quitted Boston. It has been by said Dr. Lawrence, that that might not be for the same cargo, but when I find the fact to be, that the same cargo was absolutely put on board, I think there is enough to convince me, that it was originally intended to carry the cargo on to Europe. I am therefore under the necessity of respecting that authority, and pursuing the same course of decision, but the other property* that was put on board at Boston must be considered with a more favorable view, and I shall restore that part accordingly to the schedule.
Value about one thousand pounds.
