BOSTON, July 17.
Gun Boat No. 8.—Captain Holbrook, arrived yesterday, from Lisbon. Spoke, May 27, lat. 37, 54, long. 16, 57, United States gun boat No. 8, captain Harradan, from hence, bound up the Mediterranean.
A letter from Antigua, says, "You have doubtless heard of lord Nelson's being off this place, in pursuit of the combined fleet. Various conjectures of the destination of the French and Spanish fleet are afloat;—some say for Trinidad, others Jamaica, others Europe, others the Mediterranean, &c. I doubt much Nelson's overtaking them; if he should, notwithstanding he has but one arm and one eye, and but about half their force, he will, I doubt not, give his usual good account of them. It is said the combined fleet have dispatched vessels in various directions, to meet and board American vessels, and give them false accounts of their course, &c. for the purpose of leading Nelson astray, as by similar means he was led up the Mediterranean; and he, it is said, is going directly to the English channel, should he not sail in with them, presuming it is their object to unite in the threatened invasion of England, &c. Should the combined fleet, by false reports, induce him to leave the West Indies, they will, it is said, return here again and attempt the capture of our islands; in the mean time, I should not be surprised, if, to avoid Nelson, they should approach your southern coast, and even anchor in Hampton Roads! Should they return, however, we shall be every way prepared to chastise their temerity. I have thus given you our reports, &c. and leave it to time to substantiate them, or to do them away."
FROM ENGLAND.
By the ship Belvidere, captain Schenk, arrived here yesterday in 43 days from Liverpool, we have received files of the London Courier, Messenger and Traveller, up to May 30, 1805—five days later than before received. They do not afford any addition of consequence to our former stock of intelligence; except the Dutch decree on commerce; this article, with others of some interest we have extracted.
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship Belvidere, capt. Schenk, from Liverpool.
LONDON, May 25.
An officer of one of the ships lately captured by the Bold gun brig gives a most formidable account of the number of the enemy's flotilla in the ports of Bologne, Vimereaux, Estaples, Calais, Ostend and Dunkirk. He swells the total amount to 5000; is confident that the attempt at invasion will be made this summer; that the French fleet will come out and fight ours, and that whilst they are fighting us with their ships of the line, their large frigates will release the flotilla from the different ports, and convoy them to our shores. The number of men encamped on the Bologne coast is fifty thousand.
May 30.
Dispatches were received last night at the Admiralty from Admiral Gardner, dated the 22d inst. stating that on the 11th, his Majesty's frigate La Loire, in lat. 43, 34, long. 20, 48, W. fell in with five sail of the line and three frigates, (supposed from the West Indies) standing to the Eastward. She proceeded to communicate the intelligence to the squadron off Ferrol, and Vice Admiral sir Robert Calder immediately went in pursuit, but not getting sight of them, he thinks they have effected their return to a port in France. The more we reflect upon the de-
signs of the French, upon which the curious intercepted correspondence lately published, has thrown such strong light, the more are we convinced, that an attack upon our Indian settlements is one of their great objects. Some private letters received within a day or two from France strengthen our opinion. They state in positive terms, that in a certain latitude, the combined fleets were to separate, and that seven sail of the line were to be detached to the East Indies with 5000 troops on board.
(Courier.)
Lord Keith has left town for Ramsgate, to resume the command of the ships off Bologne.
DUTCH COMMERCE.
The new code of commerce consists of nineteen articles.
1st. The repeal and abolition of all laws and resolutions existing before the decree against trading with Great Britain.
2d. A prohibition of all direct commerce from any of the Dutch ports with Great Britain.
3d. Every vessel that shall arrive in any of our ports with false or forged papers direct from Great Britain, or from any port or haven thereunto belonging, shall together with every article of her cargo, be confiscated.
4th. On the information that any vessel, having been under the necessity of putting into any of the British ports shall have taken any additional articles on board besides her original cargo, shall be confiscated; and the captain be liable to pay a fine of one thousand guilders, if he be found to have concealed the fact.
5. A regulation respecting vessels from G. Britain (whose original destination may be represented to have been for a neutral port) putting into any of the Dutch ports; which shall if the ship's passport does not clearly prove every part of her cargo to have been destined for such neutral port, be declared to be enemy's property, and confiscated accordingly, so long as free navigation and free commerce be not declared in England.
6th. A fine of one thousand guilders to be paid by every captain or master of the vessel who shall be found to have any papers, or packets of papers, to be delivered to any of the military officers, on or before their arrival in a Dutch port.
7th. All documents or ship's papers of whatever description, shall with the utmost care, be delivered and also a written declaration by both the captain and master, declaring upon oath whence they came, whither destined, &c and that they have delivered all papers they had in possession, and that they have not brought over with them, or delivered before this their declaration any letter or papers whatever. Further all vessels shall be obliged to take a birth nearest the shore, where they are to remain under guard until they have received leave to weigh anchor.
8th. A prohibition of all importation of British manufacture, from any place and in any manner soever, under penalty of the articles being confiscated, and a fine of one thousand guilders. All indirect importation shall be punished corporally, and if the case requires it, capitally.
9th. The term British manufacture comprises also coal and train oil.
10th. Goods manufactured in other countries will be admitted, provided they are accompanied, with original certificates from the secretary of finance.
11th. No article is to be imported that shall not have been notified at the different offices of the secretaries of finance during the voyage.
12th. All direct communication & commerce between this republic and Great Britain, shall henceforth be prohibited.
13th. Prohibits the exportation of ammunition without previous permission—Tar, salt, meat, and cheese, are prohibited from being conveyed to any port on this side the Wezer; and even then without special leave, and for a given quantity only.
14th. A fine of treble the value shall be imposed upon all such articles exported without leave, as shall require such previous special permission; as likewise for rye, oats, beans, peas, spilt barley, grists, pork and butter.
15th. Specifies the form in which the certificates are to be drawn.
16th. No vessel shall sail unless she shall be provided with a special permit of the commissary, &c. besides the other necessary papers.
17th. The captain, passengers, and crew, are prohibited from taking with them letters, packets, or any thing whatever intended for any port or haven in Great Britain, under the penalty of a fine of one thousand guilders, and one years confinement; and for which purpose the captain is required to make his declaration before he sets sail.
18th. Prohibits the landing or unloading on any strands, or bye places.
19th. Forbids the casting anchor at any magazine or warehouse, during the passage within certain limits.
The intelligence which on Tuesday was communicated from Holland, respecting the intended prohibition of all commercial intercourse between that country and England, has very naturally produced a very considerable sensation among that part of the commercial world interested in the Dutch trade. That intelligence has been corroborated by several private letters received in the city, which state in addition, "That if any letters shall be received and opened and acted upon in any manner whatever, by any merchant, trader, person or persons of any description in Holland, from any of the subjects to the crown of Great Britain, after orders to be issued to the contrary, that every such person shall be liable for such offence to the forfeiture of one thousand, guilders, (about ninety, pound sterling) half of which is to be paid into the coffers of the state, and the other half to the informer.
The king of Sweden has declared Stralsund, a free port for the importation of British manufactures.
PHILADELPHIA, July 21.
Many and various are the conjectures respecting the destination of the combined fleet, since their leaving the West Indies, that those who are fond of conjecture, may have some data to work on, these dull times, we have collected the different latitudes and longitudes they have been seen in, that our quidnuncs who are able, may work a traverse and find out their destination.
June 9 left fight of Antigua lat. 17, 3, long. 62
16 were seen in lat. 27, 30, long. 60
23 do. do. 34, 38, long. 62, 28.
By the above there appears little casting in their course, but a good deal of northing, and if as it is said, Lord Nelson stood a N. E. course, it is not probable they will meet very soon.
Since writing the above, arrived here, the brig Commodore Barry, capt. Meade, from the Havanna, which he left the 4th of July, and informs, that on the 2d or 3d inst. a vessel arrived there express with dispatches to the Governor, from the combined French and Spanish fleets. After the arrival of which, it was reported that a fleet of 21 sail of French and Spanish ships with 10,000 land troops were to windward, and that they meant a descent on Jamaica, which caused great joy among the Spaniards, as they seemed to not doubt the truth of it.
On the 26th of June, in lat. 29, 7, long. 63, captain Boag, of the ship Northern Liberties, arrived at Charleston from Greenock, spoke the schooner President, of and for New York from Antigua; the President had been boarded and detained by a sloop of war from a French fleet of twenty-four sail of the line, out 9 days, and when first stopped had been only two days out.
This fleet was steering a northern course, with the wind to the westward. The President was released upon the appearance of a squadron, supposed to be the English, and supplied with necessaries of every kind by captain Boag as he had been previously stripped of every thing by the French who had boarded her. As soon as the fleet of 24 sail discovered the other fleet they burnt 12 sail of West India vessels which they had captured.

THOMAS M'COWAT, Heir at Law July 23.

A letter from a respectable gentleman at Demerara, (received via the shipping there were embargoed) dated June 4, mentioned that about seventy sail homeward bound English merchantmen from Surinam were only allowed to land fish and timber, but in consequence of the embargo the governor permitted the landing of provisions in small quantities on petitions. The embargo extended to colony boats, the export of fish was totally prevented for some time; almost every article except sugar was selling well. Sugars were 43-4.
(Boston Paper.) A Kentucky democratic paper speaking of Mr. Randolph, member of congress, says, "We are not to be deceived with respect to this gentleman. We have marked his congressional career. There is no doubt he is a man of talents, but the people of America do not care to see him set up as the oracle of democracy."
A Kentucky paper says, from the want of precision in the laws of that state three criminals out of four bro't trial escape with impunity.
From the BOSTON GAZETTE.
The extreme inconsistency of leading democrats, has frequently been pointed out and animadverted on, with some warmth and severity. Such animadversions may perhaps in some instances, have for a moment mortified and confounded those on whom they were particularly made, but seem to have little effect on their adherents. These, contrary to the dictates of long experience and all history, still believe the language, rather than be convinced by the conduct of their friends. Their language and conduct have been shown to be repugnant in numerous instances; the following is a glaring one. They assure us, that as a nation we have reason to be happy, contented and secure. Both general and state governments are the best imaginable, and are administered, except in two or three instances, in the wisest possible manner. They not only declare they are satisfied and secure themselves, but they profess to be highly incensed at any one, who ventures to interrupt the still tide of general joy, by daring to express an apprehension of future danger, and thus awaken the vigilance of the people. What ought to be the consequence resulting from this deep conviction of the excellence of our constitutions and governments? Not only that they be satisfied with them, but that they pledge and devote their lives, their fortunes and sacred honor, to maintain and perpetuate them. Do they do this? Look at their conduct in congress, and under various state governments for an answer.
The general and state governments, though the object of their controul and jurisdiction are different, nevertheless, rest on the same general basis, and must contain the same characteristic features. The establishment of state democracies under a monarchical head, or aristocratical state, under the controul of a democratic state government would not only be preposterous and absurd, but impracticable and dangerous. All the constitutions therefore as they now correspond and harmonise with each other, must stand or fall together. We have a right then, and are bound to consider all attacks on the radical and fundamental provisions of any one constitution, as attempts to subvert the principles on which all our
constitutions rest. Such attempts are making by the most forward and influential democrats in the state of New York, New Jersey, and particularly Pennsylvania; and the revolutionary sentiments they advance are rapidly spreading in the Union. These men all agree in denouncing the Senate and judiciary, both important and prominent features in all our constitutions — The senate is represented to be worse than vain and useless, as dangerous, overbearing, and oppressive, calculated to obstruct and embarrass, without ever aiding or promoting any beneficial measure. The judiciary is treated with as little delicacy. Some would abolish it entirely, others wish to alter and modify it, that it would be weak and impotent in asserting rights and redressing wrongs, and powerful only in subserving partial & corrupt views. In the most democratic state governments, the same sort of antipathy is entertained towards the executive branch. A determination to subvert that, or at least under a pretence of reforming it, to weaken its powers, and frustrate the very end of its establishment, is openly avowed.
Probably nothing but the unbounded popularity of Mr. Jefferson, which would have rendered the attempt at the present moment vain and hazardous, has deterred them from pursuing the same determined opposition to the national executive.
Yes, there are just grounds for believing that a systematic plan to subvert, under the specious name of amending our constitutions, has been adopted, and is now pursued with unremitting perseverance. Duane and his party have long been pursuing such a plan in Pennsylvania, and have already excited a revolutionary flame in that state, which years of labor and exertion cannot allay. A battery against established constitutional principles is opened in New York in a series of essays, believed on good grounds, if not absolutely known to be written by Paine, whose infamy is co extensive with his fame. The specious, false and delusive speculations of this stamp, are re-published, applauded and recommended in various parts of the union. From these and many similar circumstances, a general co-operation and systematic arrangement are obvious.
What then are we to believe when they assure us that we are happy, prosperous and secure, that our constitutions are excellent and our administrations unexceptionable?
The language of their conduct contradicts that of their lips. We are therefore warranted in believing that this is one of the arts by which they mean to delude and deceive us, until they have effectually riveted our chains — that by such opiates they strive to protract the slumber of the body politic, until they have infused the deadliest poison into its vitals.
Under such circumstances Americans have too much sense and discernment, by any trick to be hurried into resentment against those real friends whose early cautions would awake them to vigilance, and animate them to activity.
Time was when they had not only too much sagacity to be imposed on by artifice, but too much spirit to suffer the attempt with impunity. And when they perceive just cause, they will again discover the same generous indignation against those vagabonds, outcasts from foreign shores who are attempting to hurl the fire-brands of discord into their dwellings, and interrupt those sweet and tranquil pleasures, for which they have made so many sacrifices.
MANURES. In the temperate and cold climates of Europe, where the littering of cattle is deemed an indispensable branch of husbandry, the substances used for that purpose are, in the first place, the straw of wheat, barley, rye, and oats. These, besides being well adapted to absorb and retain the liquid parts of the dung, and the urine, contain
in themselves large portions of that vegetable earth in which the value of all dung principally consists. It is true, that these substances are valuable also for fodder, as they afford, when chopt fine, so that they can be thoroughly digested, about half as much nourishment as common hay. Both horses and horn cattle are fed with them as far as a scarcity of hay at any time render necessary; and may be kept in flesh on them alone through the winter, if not in the mean time put to service. No food is received with more avidity by horses, or better guards them from costiveness, and the bots. But the provident author of nature has so ordered it, that in latitudes where winters are severe and expensive, summers are abundant in grass; putting in the power of the cultivator ordinarily to supply his cattle with a sufficiency of hay, that he may reserve his straw for a different purpose.
The stubble together, with the weeds that shoot up after reaping, are frequently mowed for litter just before the frost sets in. Remaining upon the ground they would indeed, be of some use to succeeding crops, and should never be disturbed as the practice of some is among us; but they will go vastly farther as a manure, if seasonably cut and preserved for litter. Their rich particles are then retained, which the autumnal and vernal rains, together with frosts and winds, would otherwise in a great measure dissipate.
The straw of buck wheat makes also an excellent litter; but the Europeans deem it too valuable to be applied, and generally feed their cattle with it, finding it to be equal to the coarsest kinds of hay. They let it lie upon the ground however, not a day after it is dry enough to thresh, and the moment the seed is severed, either house it, or cover it in stacks, with rye straw or thatch. While many farmers, on the other hand deem this straw good for nothing, leave it in the field, to be so entirely wasted by the operation of the elements upon it, that the place of the threshing floor is scarcely distinguishable in the next crop. If we can be persuaded to do nothing better with it, we may at least, before the snow comes, cart it into the barn yard; or, if it must be left in the field, throw a little earth over it, that there may be something to spread at the next ploughing.
The straw of peas and beans are all used for litter; but as the stems are hard and woody, they do not absorb so freely as other kinds of straw, and require a longer time to dissolve. They may answer a better purpose in the hogs pen, which also is the proper place for potatoe vines, and corn cobs.
The husks of Indian corn have all the qualities requisite for litter.
In the vicinity of forests, where leaves, like drifting snow, accumulate in certain ranges, the leaves are procured in immense quantities. They make a cheap and excellent litter. If intended for the stable they are to be taken from the ground dry; but if for the yard, they may after being raked into heaps or ridges, have a little earth thrown upon them composed of leaves already dissolved, and he till they become compact and can be moved with less trouble.
The swinglelings of flax and hemp are too valuable for litter to be given to bonfires. They are good absorbents, and very rich in their own substance; nor is it to be interred that they will not rot in twelve months intermixed with dung, from the circumstance that they remain entire from 3 to 4 months when left in a heap by themselves. There is another use to which these refuse may be applied. Laid at the roots of young trees, and especially peach trees, they are perhaps the most effectual antidote to grubs and other worms, of any that has been experienced. The oils they contain are fatal to nearly every species of insects. If laid, however, above ground, they should be drawn back some distance from the trees before winter, least, like leaves and tufts of grass, they form a lodgment for that pestiferous bark-eater, the mouse.
The stalk of INDIAN CORN, cut close to the ground, are valuable for litter, and probably more valuable for that than any thing else. If left in the field they turn to little account, and unless plowed in the next spring, can hardly be said to turn to any account, for they give their virtue to the winds. The tops of stalks are usually cut for fodder, and if cut early and carefully saved are certainly sweet food; but the expediency of this practice is very questionable. There is reason to apprehend that more is lost by it in the ear than is saved in the leaf. For the purposes of fodder the tops must be cut while the leaves are full of sap, which is before the late ears are out of the milk, and before the earliest have acquired all the solidity and nutrition of which they are susceptible. When the top is cut the bottom bleeds and dies, and of course ceases to be of any farther use to the ears, except that of suspending them in the air: whereas if the stalk be left entire, its sap will circulate a number of days, and often for weeks, after the leaves have been touched with frost, or begun to wither from natural decay. The circulation will indeed, grow more and more languid as the leaves fail, but doubtless, as long as it continues, it communicates virtue to the ears, augmenting and enriching the substance of which they are formed. What effect topping the stalks has upon the corn, might be easily ascertained by topping alternately half the rows in a small piece, and comparing the produce after harvest, both by measure and weight. An amusement for the curious, which might be quite as profitable as calculating every one's chance now a days to become a great man.

WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE AN EXTRACT.
Knowledge and Wisdom, far from being one, Have oft times no connexion. Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men, Wisdom, in minds attentive to their own. Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass, The mere materials with which Wisdom builds, Till smooth'd, and squar'd, and fitted to its place, Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge, is proud that he has learn'd so much, Wisdom is humble that he knows no more. Books are not seldom talisman's and spells, By which the magic art of shrewder wits Holds an unthinking multitude enthral'd. Some to the fascination of a name Surrender judgment hood-wink'd. Some the stile Infatuates, and through labyrinths and wilds Of error, leads them by a tune entranc'd. While sloth seduces more, too weak to bear The unsupportable fatigue of thought, And swallowing therefore, without pause or choice, The total grist, unsifted, husks and all. But trees, and rivulets whose rapid course Defies the check of winter, haunts of deer, And sheep walks, populous with bleating lambs, And lanes, in which the primrose, e'er her time, Peeps thro' the mols that clothes the hawthorn root, Deceive no student. Wisdom there, and truth, Not shy as in the world, and to be won By slow solicitation, seize at once The roving thought, and fix it on themselves.

AS IT becomes a duty I owe to myself, as well as my friends, to take notice of a publication which appeared the last week in the Federalist, dated at Piscataway, the 13th instant, and signed by John F. Bowie, I shall briefly make the following statement.
A short time previous to the 4th of July last, this said John F. Bowie, had fabricated and told a most malicious and unfounded falsehood, implicating ladies of the purest and highest respectability. In consequence of which I took the liberty of chastising this valiant young man in a manner I thought such base conduct merited, which was by giving him a sound and manly caning.
Pursuant to this, by imposing on a friend of mine, who knew not the contents from its being sealed, & being unable to procure a gentleman to be the bearer, I received the subjoined Brough-tonian challenge, which I shall publish herewith for the information of others. The inability of the said Bowie, to procure a friend in his own neighborhood where he was well known, still existing, he travelled upwards of forty miles to procure one, whom he knew to be a stranger to his machinations and vices, and prevailed on him to be the messenger to demand the satisfaction due a gentleman. Having doubts myself of the propriety of meeting such a man, with the advice of such friends as were about me, I required until the Wednesday following to give a final answer. It will be, no doubt observed, that his publication dated the 13th has been premature, since the time fixed on for my answer, would not arrive before the 17th. I have now only to request a suspension of the public opinion, when a short time shall determine who is the poltroon. John F. Bowie, or, E. M. LYLES.
