HAVANNA.
Baltimore, April 15.
Extract of a letter from a Spanish nobleman at the Havanna to his friend in this city, dated
Havanna, March 24, 1809.
"The 21st and 22d of this month we had narrowly escaped destruction. In the evening some children collected to abuse a poor Frenchman just coming into town; some negroes joined them, afterwards some whites, the dregs of the city, mulattoes, assassins, incendiaries. They rallied under the name of Ferdinand VII. These infernal furies saw their numbers momentarily increasing, so that no person dared to disperse them, because they would be exposed to be stoned as traitors, the French being their object, who appear to be devoted to destruction. Shortly after, every French house which they found in their way they robbed in the most barbarous and ferocious manner. The women whom they met, were cuffed, wounded and insulted; whilst the more decent citizens, who saw what was going on, choked with rage, dreaded the consequences without being able to succour the unfortunate victims. Whilst
the tumult increased, the leaders of the mob were distinguished by small black, white and red standards. One party bore the head of a cow, another the head of a woman, in wood, which they had stolen from a perfumer, which rendered the aspect of affairs truly alarming and threatening. I saw, in the mean time, that the remainder of the citizens became stupified. The governor sent out some friars and alcaides to quell them, but without success. The mob continued to ransack, destroy, pillage and insult all who opposed them in their design of theft & assassination.
The brigands then strove to get in, and they fired on them, killing one and wounding several. All was in confusion in the street. They cried out to fire on him, which was done, he was pierced with three balls. He then presented his breast to an infamous cadet who ran him through with his sword.
The plundering ceased during the night of Monday, but was so furiously recommenced that in less than two hours almost all the French were stripped of every thing. The house containing the most valuable of the effects of ***** was saved by the determined resolution and firmness of some Spanish women, who defended the entrance thereto. The defenders of Ferdinand VII. having no more French to plunder, made no longer any distinction between the house of a Frenchman and that of a Spaniard. Duquesne, Chapotin, Valley, and a multitude of rich Frenchmen have been deprived of every thing except their lands. Their country seats have been burnt. Unhappy Frenchmen! Your misfortunes will be imputed to us!! Yes!! Can it be that you merit it of us—this is the inexplicable mystery. We remained motionless spectators of the hideous excesses of an insolent populace. The brigands have gone into the country, and are there committing dreadful ravages. In the mean time efficacious measures are taken to repress these demons. More than 1000 men were yesterday put under arms, by whom more than 200 of these vagabonds have been taken. The city is resolved to have 30 heads of the ringleaders and to give the rest 200 lashes each. By the activity of the volunteers a great deal of the plunder is recovered. We are now endeavoring to discover the authors of this riot. A billet was found printed in cyphers, in which is the proscription of several men of rank, as the governor, bishop, &c. &c.
We who boast of being the most religious nation on earth! Some Spanish whites have been taken with arms in their hands robbing and deflowering a young white girl. I saw yesterday in incredible characters that we are of all nations the most grossly ignorant. The better informed here are few, and dare not speak.
By eight in the evening hundreds of the French were pillaged. The unfortunate victims, robbed of their all, fled, begging for mercy. I saw French ladies, beautiful as the day, carrying their children in their arms crying for succour. I have not been able to save more than a little daughter of one of them, and her husband, a young man of my own years. I concealed them with a Spaniard. I burned with rage and shed tears, because I could do nothing in favor of these victims. An old French silversmith who had lived here for twenty years was attacked by the mob, for the sake of his silver; the attack on him was made about eight o'clock. A patrol came; as did the governor himself; Baltrand knew the voice of the commandant of the patrol, opened the door, which it was thought no one could thrust open. A negro strove to enter, and he knocked him down dead with a mallet.
I fear much for my friends. I am informed that several French have been massacred. Mr. Valley has absolutely lost every thing, they have assassinated a friend of his, who resided in his country seat. He has lost his reason, and has been running through the streets, crying that Bonaparte will give him revenge, and a thousand other extravagancies. He is now in prison. He was a man of talents. The governor has sent the troops into the country to rescue the innocent French. He is an excellent man, but wants energy. He is really embarrassed. I fear that there will not remain a Frenchman on the island."
From a late Bermuda Paper.
TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR. The address of the General Assembly of Bermuda.
"May it please your excellency! "We his majesty's faithful and loyal subjects, the General Assembly of Bermuda, beg leave to assure you excellency that we are deeply impressed with the injudicious consequences which have resulted to the interests of the colony from the long interruption of the public business; and that your excellency may be confident that we feel an earnest desire, for a removal of the impediments which have hitherto subsisted. With the concurrence of your excellency, in such measures as are essential to the welfare of the colony, we have no doubt that this and many beneficial objects may be attained."
"We shall most cheerfully avail ourselves of the earliest opportunity which may be afforded us of raising the necessary supplies for the support of his majesty's government, and liquidating the demands of public creditors."
"We are truly sensible of the real distress and alarm in which the greater part of the community, and more particularly the poorer classes thereof, are at the present moment involved for the want of food; and this distress and alarm afflict us the more when we reflect that they might have been prevented, had your excellency not extended your favor to certain individuals by allowing them to export, contrary to your own embargo or prohibitory proclamation, a considerable quantity of provisions, while there was a prospect of an approaching famine. As no calamity can exceed that of starvation, we certainly are desirous and ready to adopt any and every measure of relief within our power."
"The framing and passing a law for the establishment of an efficient militia is an object that will claim our early attention."
On motion of Mr. B. D. Harvey, the House came to the following resolution, viz.
Resolved, As the opinion of this House, that any attempt of any branch of the legislature to control or coerce this house, or any member thereof in his legislative capacity, into any measure whatever, is a dangerous innovation of our constitutional rights and privileges, and would if consented to, destroy the fundamental principles of legislation and with them the happiness of the colony.
Resolved, Also, as the opinion of this House, that a disposition to perpetrate so gross an evil should be viewed with horror, and is at least sufficient to remove every confidence of this house, and of the community at large, from the quarter in which such disposition is entertained.
Resolved, Also, as the opinion of this House, that no Speaker nor any other member thereof, nor any person in consequence of his having been a Speaker, or other member of the general assembly, is authorised to attend or assist at the qualification of any person whatever as public Treasurer, without a particular order or authority of this House.
Resolved, Also, as the opinion of this House, that the Court of Chancery of this colony committing to jail a member of this House, namely John Noble Harvey, Esq. as the late Speaker of the Assembly, was no less an act of oppression and a gross infringement of the constitutional rights and privileges of our colonial parliament, than an indignity offered to our constituents: moreover the imprisonment of the late Speaker was the more aggravated in consequence of his having been prejudged and his accusers being his judges.
Resolved, Also, as the opinion of this House, that the said infringement of our constitutional rights and privileges tends to destroy that cordiality which this house has ever sought, consistent with propriety, to cultivate and maintain with the other branches of the legislature.
Shortly after the return of the two members who waited on his excellency the governor with the messages of the House of this day, Mr. Secretary Masterman came to the session House and affixed to the door thereof his excellency the Governor's proclamation of this date dissolving the Colonial Parliament.

LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
London, March 4.—Dutch papers have arrived to the first instant, and we find from them that the indications of hostilities between Austria and France, grow stronger every day. While the war languishes in Spain, and is confined entirely to the siege of Saragossa—troops are marching in great haste to the Rhine, and the scene of active military movements has been transferred on a sudden from Spain to Germany. Divisions that were on their march to the Pyrenees, have been countermanded, and ordered to proceed to the Rhine. Marshal Mouney who was employed before Saragossa, has been directed to return to Paris; and general Oudinot has received a destination towards Augsburg. At the same time the greatest activity is observable among the troops of Bavaria, Baden, Darmstadt, and Wurttemberg, and their contingencies are to be ready to march at an hour's notice. The palace of Strasburg is preparing for Bonaparte, and there are reports even of his having arrived at Augsburg. But this we do not believe. He has demanded, however, a categorical answer from the court of Vienna, with respect to the object of its armaments, and has required, as a proof of its pacific disposition, that its military force shall be reduced to 45,000 men, a requisition which will not of course be complied with. There is a circular letter from the Prince of Nas au Ustingen to the States of the Confederation, in which, while he talks of warlike preparations, he expresses a hope that war may yet be avoided. Bonaparte has also, in calling upon the States for their contingents, stated that it will depend upon Austria whether they will be wanted or not. But he is convinced, we are persuaded, that war is inevitable; though it is his usual practice to affect to believe to the last moment that no power can have any hostile intentions towards him—"Why are they going to war with me?"—was his hypocritical cry before the last war with Austria, and the subsequent cry with Prussia.
What will be the conduct of Russia? For of Prussia it were needless to speak, her military force being so small as to be of little weight in any scale into which it may be thrown.—Bonaparte has informed us that he and the Emperor Alexander, are intimately united both for peace and for war.—No cabinet is so remarkable for sudden changes of policy as the cabinet of Petersburg; but we see little reason at present for supposing that Bonaparte has lost his influence over it. It will not, however, be able to unite its whole force to the French, for the peace between Great Britain and Turkey, which has led to a rupture of the negotiations between Turkey and Russia, will employ a large part of the Russian force in Turkey, and the war with Sweden will occupy another portion. Russia too must keep a strong military force on the coast, to oppose any attempts we may make. If Bonaparte stations a large army still in Spain, that will operate in a favorable manner for Austria—if, on the contrary, he withdraws his army from Spain, and directs his whole attention towards Austria, Spain will have time to recruit her strength, to raise new levies, and to combine her resources.
There are no further accounts relative to the Brest fleet; though there was a report last night of its having been taken. It is generally believed that the three French frigates which were driven under the batteries of the Sables d'Olonne, have been destroyed.
Duroc, we are informed, left Vienna on his way to St. Petersburg.
Eight towns have been entirely destroyed in Holland, by the late inundations, and most of the inhabitants lost their lives.
From off Rochefort.—The Naïad frigate of 36 guns, brings intelligence of the French squadron of eight sail of the line, and two frigates being seen on Friday morning the 24th ult. at day light, standing in to Basque Roads.
The Naïad was ordered to proceed in quest of the channel fleet, and communicate to Lord Gambier the situation of this squadron, and that of the enemy's course, &c. &c. and she bore up accordingly with a press of sail.
"By half past seven o'clock, the enemy's squadron hove to in Basque
Roads, and before eight o'clock, five strange sail were seen bearing at N. N. W. who not answering the given signals, immediately announced to the Caesar they were enemies: our squadron then bore up, and chased the enemy in the N. N. W. until the signal of recall was made by the Caesar; then hauled our wind, and stood towards our squadron.
"Soon after nine we found the strange ships to be three French frigates, chased by his majesty's ship Amelia and Dotterell gun brig. Made sail to N. and a little after ten the enemy's frigates took shelter under the batteries of Sable d'Olonne, where they were soon attacked by the Caesar, Donnegal, Defiance, Emerald, Amethyst, and Amelia. A continual fire was kept up for near two hours, when it ceased. The Naïad at this time, at a considerable distance, could not possibly know the result of the action; but no doubt can be entertained of their having taken or destroyed the enemy. By one o'clock spoke the Alcmene, and pointed out the situation of the enemy. Before four the squadron under capt. Beresford's orders passed, consisting of four sail of the line, and the Indefatigable frigate. Capt. Beresford gave information that the enemy's squadron had escaped from L'Orient, and concluded them to be the vessels just attacked. He then directed his course for admiral Stopford's squadron, of which he was nearly in sight.
"On the following day the Naïad fell in with the Cuckoo schooner, and learnt that Sir John Duckworth's squadron could not be at any great distance; she therefore returned to the squadron to give the information received by the Naïad.
"Enemy's force in Basque Roads.—One three decker, 10 two deckers, 1 50 gun ship, and four frigates.
"At Sable d'Olonne.—Three frigates."
Extract of a letter from Captain Boyes, of the ship Harmony, dated Carlskrona, Jan. 29.
"There are about 60 sail in this port, bound to England. The last convoy sailed from hence on the 22d, with the Salcette frigate, but only nine of the vessels got out of the ice. It sailed on the 5th, under convoy of the Orion man of war, and three brig cutters, with about 70 sail. The fleet was dispersed in all directions. The Orion brought up under Bornholm, with 14 sail only. Nearly half of the fleet are missing. I saw the Danes capture two of them. We have accounts here of 20 being captured, and four lost. On the 14th, I arrived here in company with about 14 sail; on the 16th, 17th and 18th, about 20 more returned."
Gottenburg, Feb. 21.—The following is an account of the last convoy which sailed from Carlskrona the 22d December, to England, consisting of five British ships of war, three Swedish ships of war, and twelve merchant vessels, principally large Prussian British vessels.—The Salcette frigate drifted from the Malmo Channel, among the ice, into the Baltic, without anchor or cables. Magnet gun-brig totally wrecked the 11th January, near Malmo—the crew saved.—Argent gun-brig went round by the Belts, with dispatches on the 28th December.—Fama brig-cutter, totally lost in Bornholm, on the 23d December, with her commander and three of her crew.—Sacorner sloop cutter, totally lost near Ysta—crew saved. Camilla frigate drifted into the Baltic from the Malmo Channel, without anchors, &c.—Ventaltita brig cutter, drifted through the Sound the 6th January, and got into the Swedish port Fouke—Fington brig cutter drifted through the Sound the 9th January, and got into the Swedish port Warberg.
"Accounts have lately reached us of the Claudio cutter being lost on the Norway coast, with 14 of her guns; and of the loss of the Prosclyte sloop of war, in the Anhole; besides the loss in this quarter of the Puser and Constant gun brigs."
Stockholm, Feb. 16.
"According to a report made by field marshal baron Toll, the following letter has been received by the commandant of Landskrona, from the commander of the English gun brig, Chager."
"As under the present circumstances an attack of this fortress may perhaps be attempted, I beg to tender

my own services, as well as those of my officers and men, and request that a post may be assigned to us, where we can render ourselves useful for the defence of the place.
"JOHN BLOW." His royal majesty has received the following reports:
"In consequence of several reports having been received, stating that the Russian Cossacks had made their appearance in Kumlunge, Eklinge, and other neighboring places, I have ordered a new expedition against Kumlunge, under the command of lieut. col. Schultzenheim, consisting of 600 foot of the first and third brigade, and 80 horse of the life guards, with two 3 pounders. The corps moves this day to Wardoe, in order to reach Kumlunge to-morrow in three columns, early in the morning. The object of this expedition was to dislodge the enemy from the above places, to save the most valuable part of the moveable property of the inhabitants, and destroy the rest."
"L. P. PEYRON, Adutant Gen. & Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Troops in Finland. "Head-quarters, Jomula, Jan. 23, 1809."
"The expedition in my last report, became the more necessary, as before the troops put themselves in motion, intelligence was received of the Cossacks appearing in greater force, and one of our out-posts having been driven in."
"The troops ordered on that expedition reached Kumlunge on the 29th of last month, and after they had succeeded in driving the enemy out of the place and its environs, the most valuable part of the enemy's property and the inhabitants was saved. The object of the expedition having thus been obtained, the troops returned to their quarters in Aland."
"L. P. PEYRON. "Head-quarters, Jomula, Feb. 1, 1809."
"According to intelligence received from Schwerin, Gen. Davoust has given notice to the French consul in Rostock, Mr. Desbordes, that the embargo laid on 51 merchantmen lying in that port is raised."
(Stockholm Gazette.)
Bintz, Feb. 8. (By way of France.) —The anxiety which the reports of a new war in Austria had occasioned, has been augmented by the late measures of the Court of Vienna. It is certain that some light corps are to be formed, which will be sent to join different regiments. Other military preparations are likewise making, and magazines are forming in Bohemia and Austria. M. Pasbender, who in the late campaigns was principal commissary to the Austrian army, has been again appointed to that post, and the Count de Guinne, formerly Adjutant general to Archduke Charles has been appointed Adjutant to the Emperor. The Archduke Ferdinand is to take the chief command of the Austrian army in Bohemia, if war should break out, and Count Bellegarde will command an army in Carinthia & Corinthia. In the mean time several Generals who commanded on the Turkish frontiers, have been recalled to Vienna. Many persons, however, doubt whether the Archduke Charles approves the measures of the court, and will be willing to enter into a new war. In the conferences which have been held on the subject, and at which both that Prince and the Archduke Ferdinand, the brother of the Empress, were present, it is said, a new general levy was spoken of, and different measures proposed to render it agreeable to the people. Those most experienced in military affairs estimate the whole of our regular troops at 143,000 men; but it is not practicable to find a train of artillery sufficient for an army of 60,000 men.
Leyden Courant of Feb. 27.
London, March 4. —The opinion that a war will immediately take place between France and Austria, appears to be prevalent in almost every part of the Continent. The return of Bonaparte from Spain, and his journey to Germany, the movement of the French troops, and finally the order which he has given to his Vassal Princes, belonging to the Confederation of the Rhine, are circumstances which appear to us almost decisive upon the subject. Bonaparte has viewed with considerable uneasiness the military preparations which Austria has been for some time making, and will probably precipitate the contest, with the view of overwhelming her before her arrangements are completed.
Sir A. Wellesley, with the manliness which belongs to his character, effectually defended ministers last night, on the charge that they had not sent out a sufficient body of cavalry to Portugal, of stating that their view at first was to carry on a course of
operations on the Tagus, but that he had changed the plan to Montego Bay, and therefore the responsibility lay wholly on him. He again lamented that his superiors in command had not sufficient confidence in him to adopt the measures he recommended.
We are sorry to learn, that superadded to the casualties incident to warfare, a malignant fever of quick progress, and fatal issue, has broke out in the Military Hospitals at Plymouth, among the sick and wounded soldiers, who have recently returned from Spain. It is, however, a consolation to reflect, that the medical attendants, who rank high in their profession, are incessant in their endeavors to check the progress, and to mitigate the malignity of the fever, by the most judicious use of medicine, regimen, fumigation, &c. Mr. Williams, an assistant surgeon, died of the prevailing fever on Tuesday.
The late report of the assassination of the Grand Duke Constantine, at St. Petersburg, will be somewhat illustrated by the following extract of a letter from Vienna, dated 9th Feb.—"A messenger just arrived from St. Petersburg, with dispatches for the Russian Ambassador, brings intelligence of an attempt having been made upon the life of the Grand Duke Constantine. The circumstances are as follows:—Constantine was walking one evening at some distance from the palace, with an aid-de-camp, both of them dressed in a kind of blue mantle, generally worn at Petersburg, a man came behind with the intent to shoot Constantine; but from the similarity of dress he mistook the aid-de-camp for the Grand Duke. He fired, and the aid-de-camp immediately fell. The body was instantly seized by several men, and dragged away to a considerable distance. On the firing of the shot, the Grand Duke sought safety by flight, and took refuge in the palace. A proclamation was published, offering a reward for the discovery of the offender. An order was at the same time sent to the post-office to open and examine all the letters, and to detain those that had any reference to this business. Of this description a great number was found. The people in general, but more particularly the nobles, are highly dissatisfied with the measures that are pursued, to which, it is the universal persuasion, that Alexander is altogether influenced by Constantine.—It is added, that Constantine is supposed to have a secret promise from Bonaparte, of being speedily raised to the throne, in place of Alexander, who is not thought to possess a sufficiently decisive character for the great plans that Bonaparte has still to carry into effect."
March 6. —Paris accounts to the 19th have been received—they briefly state, that the French had entered Vigo, immediately after the embarkation of the British troops—that six of the transports, having on board 1,200 of our troops, had foundered at sea—that the Duke of Dalmatia had marched for Oporto—that Marshal Davoust, commander in chief of the army of Germany, had arrived in Paris—that the flight of the British troops from Spain, had caused the greatest consternation in Austria; that a powerful camp was to be formed on the banks of the Inn; and that general Oudinot's corps was repairing through Lower Swabia and Franconia, in order to take a position on the banks of the Lech.
The same accounts present Madrid dates to February 13, in which it is stated, that deputations had been presented to king Joseph, from the towns of Toledo, Salamanca, Santander, St. Ildefonso, Benavente, Ledesma, Vilefranca, del Vieng de Villalon, Sahagun, and Medina del Rio Seco, Valladolid, Leon, Aora, Arevalo, and Aranjuez, manifesting a strong desire to see tranquility restored to the country, under his paternal government.
March 8. —Last night a mail arrived from Lisbon, brought to Falmouth in thirteen days by the Walsingham packet. Two Spanish couriers with dispatches have arrived in the Walsingham.
Before the packet sailed they had heard of the reported rupture between France and Austria, and the intelligence received full credit. It was reported at Lisbon, that the French had sustained another defeat before Saragossa, in which they had lost 7000 men.
The English troops still remained at Lisbon and in the neighborhood, in all between five and six thousand men. They were under orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark at six hours notice.
About 70,000 of the French troops that were expected at Lisbon, remained in Galicia, having been prevented from advancing by a total want of necessaries for their march. The country is so completely exhausted, that till they shall receive supplies from France, it will be impossible for them to execute their intended re-occupation of Portugal.
At noon this day the substance of the dispatches received from Mr. Adair, was communicated to the public by the following
BETTER TO THE LORD MAYOR. "Foreign Office, March 8, 1809. "My Lord—I have the honor to acquaint your Lordship, that a treaty of peace between his majesty and the Sublime Porte, was signed on the 5th January last.
"I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) "GEORGE CANNING."
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
In the House of Commons, on the 2d March Mr. Whitbread moved for an account of all the duties levied on exportation, in consequence of the acts of last session, subsequent to, and in pursuance of the system laid down in the orders in council. Ordered. The honorable gentleman then made some observations on the subject of the papers relative to America, which had been laid on the table of the House not being printed. He thought the correspondence between Mr. Canning, Mr. Pinkney, Mr. Rose, and Madison, ought, from their importance, to have been in the hands of every member of Parliament; but did not make any motion on the subject.
On the 6th of March, Mr. Whitbread introduced a motion in the House of Commons, for an humble address to be presented to his Majesty, praying that he would adopt, without delay, such measures as may best tend to the immediate re-establishment of commercial intercourse with the United States. After a full discussion of its merits, which occupied the House until seven in the morning, a division was called for, when it appeared that there were
For the Address, 83 Against it. 145
Eight towns have been entirely destroyed in Holland by the late inundations, and most of the inhabitants lost their lives.
It appears by our port letters, that within the last fortnight our cruisers have been very successful in capturing vessels belonging to the enemy. No less than fifteen have, in the course of that time, been brought into Plymouth.
Bonaparte has nominated his uncle Cardinal Fesch, Archbishop of Paris. Lieutenant General Hope has been appointed to the command of the Kent District.
The gallant Sir David Baird is immediately to be elevated to a peerage, with the title of Viscount.
Sir John Moore's family to have pensions.
General Hope is to be made a Baronet, and get the first Red Ribbon.
Among other deaths lately announced to the public, are those of Lord Orford, and Lord Falkland. The latter fell in a duel with Mr. Powell, one of his Lordship's battle companions.
Thirty-second Bulletin of the French army in Spain.
The duke of Dalmatia being arrived before Ferrol, caused the place to be invested. Negotiations were begun. The civil authorities, and the military and naval officers, manifested a disposition to surrender; but the people, fomented by the spies whom the English had left, resisted.
On the 24th the duke of Dalmatia received two messengers, one sent by adm. Meigret, commander of the Spanish squadron, and the other, who came across the mountains, sent by the military commanders. These couriers were both sent without the knowledge of the people. They stated that the authorities were under the yoke of a furious populace, excited and paid by the agents of England, & that 8000 men belonging to this city and its environs were in arms.
The duke of Dalmatia had to resolve upon opening the trenches, but from the 13th to the 25th, various movements were manifest in the town. The 17th reg. of light infantry had repaired to Mugaridos; the 31st reg. of light infantry were at the forts of La Palma and St. Martin, and at Lagrana; and as they blockaded the fort St. Philip, the people began to fear the consequences of an assault, and to listen to men of sense. On the 26th, three flags of truce furnished with authority, and the annexed letter, arrived at the head-quarters, and signed the surrender of the place.
On the 27th, at 7 o'clock in the morning, the town was occupied by the division Mermet, and by a brigade of dragoons.
On the same day the garrison was disarmed; the disarming also produced 5000 muskets. The people who do not belong to Ferrol, have been removed to their villages. The men who had stained themselves with blood during the insurrection, have been arrested.
Adm. O'Brien, whom the people had arrested during the insurrection,
had been put at the head of the arsenal.
There have been found in the port 3 vessels of 112 guns, 2 of 84, 1 of 74, 2 of 64, 3 frigates, and a considerable number of corvettes, brigs and unarmed vessels, more than 1500 pieces of cannon of every size, and ammunition of all kinds.
It is probable that but for the precipitate retreat of the English, and the affair of the 16th, they would have occupied Ferrol, and seized this beautiful squadron.
The military and naval officers have taken the oath to king Joseph with the greatest enthusiasm. What they relate of their sufferings from the lowest class of the people and the English, is inconceivable.
Order reigns in Galicia, and the authority of the king is re-established in this province, one of the most considerable of the Spanish monarchy.
Gen. Laborde has found at Corunna, on the sea shore, seven pieces of cannon, which the English had buried on the 17th, not being able to take them away.
La Romana, abandoned by the English and his own troops, has fled with 5000 men, in order to throw himself into Andalusia.
There remained at Lisbon only about 4 or 5000 Englishmen. All the hospitals and all the magazines were embarked, and the garrison were preparing to abandon this nation, as indignant at the perfidy of the English, as they are disgusted by the difference of manners and religion, by the continual and brutal intemperance of the English troops, and that arrogance & ill-founded pride which render this nation odious to the continent.

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25.
The predicted period has at length arrived for a dispassionate estimate of the measures, recently taken by the administration, in regard to our foreign relations. Inasmuch as the great mass of a community are not gifted with the faculty of accurately associating causes with their effects, and as they are too generally played upon by a set of men actuated by personal, and often sinister motives, it ought not to surprize us, that a temporary delusion is frequently excited, productive of impatience at, if not hostility to, the measures best fitted to promote their interests. It is, perhaps, inseparable from a free government, to have a body of men constantly in opposition, who, not contented with a virtuous resistance of encroachment and oppression, generally endeavor to effect their purposes by misrepresenting the motives, traducing the characters, and distorting the measures of those who hold the reins of power. A mournful experience proves that these men, in the zealous pursuit of their objects, will totally lose sight of the duties which they owe to their country, and even espouse with ardor the most unjust conduct of foreign governments. By these means the public judgment is obscured, and a considerable portion of the community are led to ascribe all the evils they endure to those whom they have constituted the guardians of their rights, instead of imputing them to the unjust conduct of a foreign power, which, but for the measures they condemn, would have oppressed them with a ten-fold violence. This has been strikingly the case with respect to the embargo. Those who imposed it have been represented as abandoned to French influence, as unfriendly to commerce, as hostile to liberty. Great and respectable sections of the union have swallowed the poison, and have been almost inflamed into a paroxysm of passion, ready to seek its criminal gratification in raising its arm against its own government. But the bright day of judgment and retribution has at length arrived, when a virtuous nation will not withhold the tribute of its warmest thanks from an administration, whose sole ambition has ever been to advance the happiness of its constituents, even at the sacrifice of its present popularity. Thanks to the sage, who now so gloriously reposes in the shades of Monticello, and to those who shared his confidence.
In pronouncing this judgment, every suggestion of magnanimity recommends a forbearance from opening anew the wounds which have so grievously irritated our friendship with G. Britain. Generosity requires, that we should drop a veil over them. Justice, however, does not less forcibly call upon us, to estimate aright the causes which have led to the existing state of things, as opening to us a copious volume of experience, that may serve in future to irradiate our way.
In the first place, then, it may be boldly alleged, that the revocation of the British orders is attributable to the embargo. The non-intercourse act, connected with the partial repeal of the embargo, had not taken place when Mr. Oakeley left England, nor was it expected to take place. On the contrary, there was every manifestation, on the part of our government, in all its departments, to adhere to the embargo, or to take the alternative of war. Votes to this effect had passed the two Houses of Congress by great majorities. Mr. Canning had, moreover, a short time before, virtually put the veto of his government on the proposition of ours to raise the embargo as to England, and retain it as to France, provided England rescinded her orders. As this is the precise proposition submitted by the non-intercourse act, it proves that there must have been some other cause for this veto, at the time it was pronounced by Mr. Canning. Mr. Canning, in fact, assigns a cause, by declaring that his government would not rescind her orders till France had withdrawn her decrees. And yet France has not withdrawn her decrees to this day. As the effect, then, is produced without the cause then assigned, it is evident that it must have flowed from some other cause. That cause is the embargo. No other cause can be assigned. That it was quickened into activity, by the disasters attending the British arms in Spain, may be true. But this proves nothing more, than that the embargo was an instrument, calculated to influence the conduct of foreign governments to us through the medium of contingent events. If I withheld my friendship from any one, it is not the particular act that injures him, but the effects flowing from it. So, in the case of the embargo, it was the almost inevitable effects expected from it, that recommended it as a measure, the best fitted, in all human probability,

ty, to vindicate our rights by a solemn appeal to the interests of those who violated them. In this, and in this way only, was its efficacy contended for. It was said, that, while it secured our property by drawing it into our own bosom, it would for a time avert war, during which time it would probably teach those who aggressed upon our rights, that their own interests dictated a removal of their aggressions.
Let us go back to the period, when the Embargo was laid. At that time England stood alone, (for Sweden is too trifling, to form an exception) among the nations of Europe. As far as a consolidation of power, unknown since the days of Charlemagne, could effect it, the trade of the continent was sealed to her. In this posture of affairs, she issued her Orders in Council, interdicting to us all continental trade. The Embargo was the consequence.
In imposing the Embargo, it was said that England would principally feel it—
In the diminution of her manufactures.
In the diminution of her trade.
In the diminution of her taxes arising from imports.
In the want of naval supplies.
In its effects on her colonies.
We all recollect the immediate sensation produced by it in England. The table of the House of Commons was filled with remonstrances against the Orders in Council, and the Gazettes overflowed with manifestations of the national sensibility. At this moment, when but a few months had elapsed, which had however afforded the best ground for the hope that the Orders would soon be rescinded, the memorable Spanish revolution blazed out, and the British ministry seized it, without delay, as the glad harbinger of brighter days. The popular flame was kindled on the side of the patriots, unprecedented exertions were made in their behalf, an immense army was raised, the navy increased, and the rich American as well as European possessions of Spain thrown open to England. Her languishing manufactures received new life blood, her commerce expanded on a bolder wing, and she laughed at our folly in giving her a monopoly of the trade of the world. For a time things go on swimmingly—Success inspires confidence, and we are sternly told, that the British Orders will not be revoked till the French decrees are rescinded. While the tide of good fortune flowed thus impetuously, the impaired effects of the Embargo, although far from inconspicuous, are either lightly felt, or are submitted to in the hope of our soon abandoning it. It is resolved to see who can stand out the longest.
But this prosperous tide turns, with a revulsion equal to its original impetus; and now it is, that the florid complexion of hope is sicklied o'er with the pale hue of melancholy. Reflexion is substituted for action, and it is foreseen, perhaps, that the people of England, however able to support the animated exertions of courage, will sink under the required patience of fortitude. Fortunately, at this crisis, the intelligence reaches them, that the government of the United States strong in the affections of the nation are determined not to relax; that a new magistrate had been elected by a vast majority, whose unending course would pursue the same line with his predecessor; that the Embargo would be continued, unless exchanged for war. Under these circumstances the British government wisely determines for peace with us. She feels the appeal carried to her interests; spontaneously renders reparation for the attack on the Chesapeake; and offers to rescind her Orders on our resuming a free commercial intercourse with her.
However, then, the appeal of the Embargo to her interests was delayed, it was not frustrated, by the Spanish revolution. Had it been entirely frustrated by it, its wisdom could not have been impeached, as that revolution was an event not then to have been calculated upon. But the moment its abortion replaced things on the footing that preceded it, we find the appeal operating with a decisive, an irresistible force, conclusively demonstrating its wisdom. We repeat it, then, the revocation of the British Orders is strictly attributable to the Embargo.

The following letter, copied from the Boston Patriot, on the subject of the King of England's Proclamation of October 22, 1807, was written by JOHN ADAMS to the same gentleman
to whom his letter published in our last was addressed. It merits and will receive an attentive perusal.
IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION. THE INADMISSIBLE PRINCIPLES. OF THE KING OF ENGLAND'S PROCLAMATION of Oct. 22, 1807—Considered.
The source from whence we derive this highly important discussion of a subject, involving so deeply the rights, the honor, and the interest of America, will render it unnecessary for us to invite the careful attention of our readers.—Ed. Patriot.
Quincy, January 9, 1809.
Sir, In my letter of the 26th of December it was remarked that the proclamation for pressing seamen from our merchant ships had not been sufficiently reprobated. Some of the reasons for that opinion will be found in the following commentaries, which were written for private amusement, within a few days after the appearance in public of this
TEXT.
"The proclamation of the king of Great Britain, requiring the return of his subjects, the seamen especially, from foreign countries, to aid in this hour of peculiar danger, in defence of their own"
"But it being an acknowledged principle that every nation has a right to the service of its subjects in time of war, that proclamation could not furnish the slightest ground for an embargo."
This partial description has a tendency to deceive many, and no doubt has deceived thousands. It is concealing the asp in a basket of figs. The dangerous, alarming and fatal part of the proclamation is kept carefully out of sight. Proclamations of one kind are of immemorial usage; but the present one is the first of the kind. Proclamations of the first kind, issued usually in the beginning of a war, are in effect but simple invitations to subjects, who happen to be abroad, to return home. To deny the right of the king to issue them, would be as unreasonable as to deny his right to send a card of invitation to one of his subjects to dine with him on St. George's day. But in neither case is the subject bound by law to accept the invitation. As it is natural to every human mind to sympathize with his native country when in distress or danger, it is well known that considerable numbers of British commonly return home from various foreign countries, in consequence of these invitations by proclamation. The British ambassadors, consuls, agents, governors and other officers give the proclamations a general circulation, stimulate the people to return, and contrive many means to encourage and facilitate their passages. All this is very well; all this is within the rules of modesty, decency, law and justice; no reasonable man will object to it. But none of these proclamations, till this last, ever asserted a right to take British subjects by force, from the ships of foreign nations, any more than from the cities and provinces of foreign nations. On the other hand, it is equally clear, that British subjects in foreign countries are under no indispensable obligation of religion, morality, law or policy, to return in compliance with such proclamations. No penalty is annexed by English laws to any neglect; no, nor to any direct or formal disobedience. Hundreds in fact, do neglect and disobey the proclamations to one who complies with them. Thousands who have formed establishments, and settled families, or become naturalized, or made contracts, or enlisted on board merchant ships, or even ships of war in foreign countries, pay no regard to these orders or invitations of their former sovereign. Indeed, all who have become naturalized in foreign countries, or entered into contracts of any kind, public or private, with governments or merchants, or farmers or manufacturers, have no right to return until they have fulfilled their covenants and obligations. The President of the United States has as legal authority to issue similar proclamations, and they would be as much respected by American citizens, all over the globe. But every American would say his compliance was voluntary, and none, whose engagements abroad were incomparable, would obey. But "it is an acknowledged principle, that every nation has a right to the service of its subjects in time of war." By whom is this principle acknowledged? By no man, I believe, in the unlimited sense in which it is here asserted. With certain qualifications and restrictions it may be admitted. Within the realm and his own dominions the king has a right to the service of his subjects, at sea and on land, by voluntary enlistments, and to send them abroad on foreign voyages, expedition and enterprises—but it would be difficult
to prove the right of any executive authority of a free people to compel free subjects into service by conscriptions or impressments, like galley-slaves, at the point of the bayonet, or before the mouths of field artillery. Extreme cases and imperious necessity, it is said, have no law; but such extremities and necessity must be very obvious to the whole nation, or free men will not comply. Impressments, of seamen from British merchantmen in port or at sea, are no better than the conscriptions of soldiers by Napoleon or Lewis XIV. who set him the example. So much for that part of the proclamation, which the text produces to public view. Now for the other part, which it has artfully concealed.
The king not only commands his subjects to return, but he commands the officers of his navy to search the merchant ships of neutrals, (meaning Americans, for it is not applicable to any others, nor intended to be applied to any others,) and impress all British seamen they find on board, without any regard to any allegation of naturalization; without any regard to any certificates of citizenship; without regard to any contracts, covenants or connections they have formed with captains or owners; & without regard to any marriages, families or children they have in America. And in what principle or law is this founded? Is there any law of God to support it? Is there any law of nature to justify it? Is there any law of England to authorise it? Certainly not. The laws of England have no binding force on board American ships, more than the laws of China or Japan. The laws of the United States alone, of which the law of nations is a part, have dominion over our merchant ships. In what law then is it grounded? In the law of nations? It is a counterfeited into law, by this arbitrary, fraudulent proclamation, for the first time. Such a title, as Impressment of Seamen , was never found in any code of laws, since the first canoe was launched into the sea; not even that of England. Whoever claims right must produce a law to support it. But this proclamation attempts to transfer a pretended right of impressing seamen from their own ships, which in truth is only an enormous abuse, to the impressment of seamen from foreign nations, foreign ships and foreign subjects. The honor of this gross attempt, this affront to our understandings as well as feelings; this contempt of our natural and national resentment of injuries, as well as our sympathies with fellow-citizens and fellow creatures, suffering the vilest oppression under inhumanity and cruelty, could never have appeared in the world, had not the spirits of Lord Bute and Lord George Germaine risen again at St. James's.
It is in vain for the Britons to say, these men are the king's subjects. How are they the king's subjects? By British laws. And what are British laws to us, on the high seas? No more than the laws of Osage. We Americans must say they are our fellow citizens by our laws. They have sworn allegiance to the U. S. We have admitted them to all the rights and privileges of American citizens, and by this admission have contracted with them to support and defend them in the enjoyment of all such rights. Our laws acknowledge no divine right of kings, greater than those of subjects, or any indefeasible duty of subjects more than that of kings, to obedience. These remnants of feudal tyranny and ecclesiastical superstition, have long since exploded in America. The king claims them to make them slaves. The President of the U. S. claims them, as it is his duty to do, by his office and his oath, not to enslave them, but to protect them & preserve them free. Our laws are as good as British laws. Our citizens have as good a right to protection as British subjects, and our government is as much bound to afford it. What is the impressment of seamen? It is no better than what the civilians call Plagrat , a crime punishable with death by all civilized nations, as one of the most audacious and punishable offences against society. It was so considered among the Hebrews. "He that stealeth a man and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death." Exodus 21. 17. "If a man be found stealing any of his brethren, then that thief shall die." Deuteronomy 24. 7. The laws of Athens, like those of the Hebrews, condemned the piracy or man-stealer to death; and the laws of Rome pronounced the same judgment against the same outrage. But to descend from the Hebrews, Greeks & Romans to the British. What is the impressment of seamen in England, by their own laws, in their own ports, from their own ships within the four seas, or any where on the high seas? It is said to be an usage. So were ship-
money loans and benevolences in the reign of Charles the first, and arguments were urged by his courtiers, to prove their legality, as plausible and conclusive as any that have been produced by judge Foster, in favor of impressment. It is at best but an abuse, subsisting only by toleration and connivance, like the practice in Holland of kidnapping men for settlers or servants in Batavia. It is in direct contradiction and violation of every principle of English liberty. It is a direct violation of Magna Charta and the fifty-five confirmations of it in Parliament, and a bold defiance of all the ecclesiastical execrations against the violators of it. It is in direct violation of all their other statutes, bills and petitions of right, as well as the Habeas Corpus act. It deprives free subjects of their liberty, property, and often of their lives, without alleging or pretending any accusation against them of any crime or fault. It deprives them of the trial by jury and subjects them to scourges and death, by martial law and the judgment of courts martial. It is a kind of civil war, made upon innocent and unoffending subjects. It is said that in a general impressment, like that of Admiral Keppell, it cost the nation, in cutters, luggers, press-gangs, and it might have been added, in Nanny-houses and rendezvous of debauchery and corruption, an hundred pounds for every man they obtained. The practice is not avowed or acknowledged by the nation. No Parliament ever dared to legitimate or sanction it. No court of law ever dared to give a judgment in favor of it. No judge or lawyer that ever I heard of, till Foster, ever ventured to give a private opinion to encourage it.

ANSWER Of the late President of the U. States, to the Address of the Legislature of New-York:
Monticello, April 12, 1809.
Gentlemen, "I beg leave, through you, to return an answer to the address of the legislature of New York, which you were so kind as to forward to me, and to tender you the assurances of my high respect and consideration.
TH: JEFFERSON." Hon. John Broome, President of the Senate. James W. Wilkins, Speaker of the Assembly.
To the Legislature of the State of N. York. I receive with respect and gratitude, from the Legislature of New York, on my retirement from the office of chief magistrate of the U. States, the assurance of their esteem and of their satisfaction with the services I have endeavored to render. The welfare of my fellow citizens and the perpetuation of our republican institutions having been the governing principles of my public life, the favorable testimony borne by the Legislature of a state so respectable as that of N. York gives me the highest consolation; and this is much strengthened by an intimate conviction that the same principles will govern the conduct of my successor, whose talents, whose virtues, and eminent services are a certain pledge that the confidence in him, expressed by the Legislature of New York will never be disappointed.
Sole depositaries of the remains of human liberty, our duty to ourselves, to posterity, and to mankind call on us by every motive which is sacred or honorable, to watch over the safety of our beloved country during the troubles which agitate and convulse the residue of the world, and to sacrifice to that all personal and local considerations. While the boasted energies of monarchy have yielded to easy conquest the people they were to protect, should our fabric of freedom suffer no more than the slight agitations we have experienced, it will be an useful lesson to the friends, as well as to the enemies of self-government, that it may stand the shocks of time and accident, and that your own may make a distinguished part of the mass of prosperity it may dispense, will be my latest prayer.
TH: JEFFERSON.

We understand it is expected that there will be thirteen candidates for the silver cups at the Arlington exhibition of sheep, on Saturday the 29th of April, and that there will be many cloths and other manufactures exhibited.
It is expected that gentlemen visiting the exhibition from a distance
and others will have the smallest portion of American manufacture in dress as a compliment to the institution.
New York, April 21. A letter from Liverpool per the brig Cumberland, of the 6th ult. to a merchant of this city, states, that Bonaparte had declared the port of Leghorn, and Florence, open to a free trade. From the highly respectable channel through which this news reaches us, we are not inclined to withhold our belief of it.
Extract of a letter from Havana, (by the Messenger) dated HAVANNA, April 10.
A week ago, the brig Blanche, from Baltimore arrived here. The result of her voyage is yet doubtful. The ultimate intention of this government is unknown; but a duty of about eleven dollars, a barrel on flour will be imposed, and 50 per cent on all other American articles, which can or have been supplied from Vera Cruz or Campeachy. They will grant a drawback, however, on all such articles, including flour, which may be re-shipped in any bottoms within sixty days—after 60 days, the drawback will still be allowed when re-shipped in Spanish vessels.
We know not what to ask for flour—will not take less than 20 dollars. Produce has not risen much—white sugars 4 50 to 5 dollars; brown 2 50 to 3. Duty on wine and all dry goods, except cotton, 22 per cent. (formerly 34 to 38.)
There are about 9 or 10,000 barrels of flour in the market.
