Prizes subject to a deduction of 15 per cent.
This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars, in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer a chance for some very large prizes, while the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
Richmond, March 24—1f 80 Tickets to be had of Robert Pollard Esq. John Brockenbrough, jun. Wm. Price (Reg.) Samuel Pleasants, jun. and William Prichard.

FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. TO THE PEOPLE. THE DEFENCE. No. XIII.
Some notice may, in this place, be expected of the new duties imposed during the last session for the protection of the Mediterranean trade. The propriety of the appropriation for this purpose has not been disputed. But it is said that the species of taxation resorted to is unjust and unequal; and that the necessity of laying new taxes, is an evidence of the inexpediency of abolishing the internal revenues in the year 1801. We shall consider the last argument first. Had the internal revenues been continued, it will be allowed, there would have been no occasion for this additional taxation. But, although their continuance would have superceded this necessity, it does not follow that their abolition was inexpedient. A decision on this point will be elucidated by a consideration of two questions; first, whether it was wise to continue permanent taxes, without any permanent objects, with the sole view to contingent events;—and, secondly, whether the internal taxes constituted a resource preferable to the new duties? The existence of permanent taxes, without permanent objects, is among the most fatal expedients which the ingenuity of tyranny has ever devised. It destroys the responsibility of rulers to their constituents; it arms them with formidable powers, which may be used in subversion of the peace & liberties of nations; it is destructive of economy; and it is oppressive. Any one of these considerations would be sufficient to establish the danger of this policy; taken in connection they must flash conviction on every man jealous of his rights. That no permanent objects required the continuance of these taxes is manifest from the competency of the residuary revenue to all the regular purposes of the government, the increasing specie balance in the treasury having grown in a space of two years from 2,946,038 to 5,860,000 dollars; and from its further competency to meet all the engagements arising from the Louisiana purchase. The loss of the frigate Philadelphia was in every sense, in which it can be considered, a contingent event; one which no human prudence could foresee, or human prudence avert. To provide, therefore, for such an event, would have necessitated a permanent tax, and a spirit of prophecy. It was right, therefore, in the year 1801 to repeal the internal taxes. Would it have been proper in the year 1804 to have renewed them in preference to the new duties? To shew the folly of this measure, it is sufficient to say that the expenses of collecting a million, the sum appropriated to protect the Mediterranean trade, would have been about 240,000 dollars, while that attending the new duties will not probably exceed 10,000. In which case the tax instead of being a million would have been twelve hundred and thirty thousand dollars. The difference between these two sums is gained by the nation. Many other arguments, of force but little inferior, could be urged; but these alone are strong enough for our purpose. With regard to the second allegation, that the new duties are unequal and unjust, nothing can be more false. They are laid for the sole purpose of protecting trade. Is it not then just that trade should indemnify the expense? But, it is said that they lay an oppressive burthen on the Merchant. How can this be? The tax is not retropective, but prospective. The merchant may, or may not, according to his sense of interest import the goods that are taxed. If he does import them, he will be reimbursed by the purchaser not only the cost and the duty, but a profit both on the cost and the duty. This fact is so well understood in the mercantile world, that the enlightened merchant is always friendly to the imposition of moderate duties. It is, however, replied, that the addition of the new to the old duties, renders the existing ones immoderate, whereby the sale of the goods will be diminished, and consequently the mercantile profit, and smuggling be encouraged, to the injury of the fair trader. Let us examine whether either of these effects is likely to be produced. The additional duty is that of two and a half per centum on all goods previously taxed ad valorem. From official documents it appears that the average duty on articles charged ad valorem is 13 and a half per cent; and that the aggregate amount of the duties received on those articles in the year 1802 was 4,193,472 dollars; and the value of those articles 31,706,161 dollars—The whole amount of impositions of that year may be computed at forty-nine millions of dollars; and the duties amount to ten millions one hundred thousand; from which it follows that the value of the articles that paid specific duties was about seventeen millions, and the duties on those articles, averaged about thirty-three per cent, which is more than double the average duty paid on articles charged ad valorem. This conclusively proves that the addition of two and a half per cent. to the latter does not render it immoderate, inasmuch as it does not create a duty equal to that laid on goods specifically taxed. With as little justice can it be contended that the additional duty will increase smuggling or diminish the profit of the fair trader by diminishing the sale of the goods taxed. To shew this, it must first be proved that those articles on which a higher duty is at present paid are smuggled, or that their sale is diminished. This has never been said. The fact is that these new duties are among the most equitable that have been laid. They will operate principally as a tax on luxury thereby favoring the poor, and they will serve in some measure, to equalise the whole mass of duties. By the late system, some of the most important, and even necessary articles of consumption are taxed exorbitantly. For instance, brown sugar pays a duty of between forty-five and fifty per cent. Spirits pay a duty of about thirty-five per cent. Salt pays a duty of above sixty per cent. Wines pay a duty of thirty-three per cent. And Tea, a duty of one hundred per cent. The duties on these articles average nearly fifty per cent. and amount to above 4,800,000 dollars, which exceeds by six hundred thousand dollars the whole sum derived from articles charged ad valorem. CURIUS.
Fifthly, because the mode of election pointed out, and the apportionment by them made is arbitrary and unjust, unequal and anti-republican, and which this committee are determined to support, the executive authority of this country, and to make use of every legal means in their power to carry into effect and operation the laws that may be adopted for the government thereof: they cannot hesitate to mark their pointed disapprobation of any attempt to call in question the constitutionality of the laws of congress, or to declare any infraction to have been made by them of the treaty between France and the United States. They therefore view with astonishment and regret, expressions and declarations that have a tendency to destroy the peace and harmony of the temporary government which the United States have thought proper to adopt for this country, and do most cordially detest and protest against any measures that may tend to lessen the confidence of the people in the wisdom, justice and equity of the general government. The committee see with the greater astonishment an apparent design in the proceedings at St. Louis, to form and carry into effect a plan, whereby the opinion and the wishes of the few might be palmed upon the public; upon the constituted authorities of the country; and upon Congress; as the sentiments of a majority of the people of Upper Louisiana. The committee feel warranted and justified in this opinion when they reflect on the mode of the election—the members to the South, and particularly in the well known settlement of Cape Girardeau, and that nine delegates are claimed at and above St. Louis—a majority of the whole number which is to form this proposed assembly. Resolved, That the members of this committee are highly impressed with the importance of calling a convention of delegates upon a just and equal plan to meet at such place as a majority when chosen shall appoint for the purpose of taking into consideration such measures as may be deemed expedient for the good and welfare of the country, and to make known and transmit to the Congress of the United States, by petition, the wishes of the people, together with such other information as may be thought necessary. Resolved, That the committee depute one or more persons of their body to wait on his excellency governor Harrison, with an address upon his arrival in this district, declaratory of their entire approbation of his appointment, and determination to support him in his official duties while acting as governor of the Upper Louisiana. Resolved, That the President and Secretary of this meeting, send forward a copy of these proceedings to A. Shaw, President of the Committee at St. Louis, and one other to the printer at Vincennes for publication. Signed, Walter Penwick, President, R. Eastin, J. K. Dallas, M. Austin, Wm. Murphy, F. Alley, Joseph Donnahan. Extract from the minutes. J. Finney, Secretary.
VINCENNES, (I. T.) Sept. 25th.
RESOLUTIONS.
A committee of several members from different parts of the district of St. Genieve and New-Bourbon, assembled at the house of D. Walter Penwick, in the village of St. Genieve, on the second day of September, 1804, and having chosen Dr. Walter Penwick President, and James Finney Secretary, proceeded to pass the following RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, That this committee in behalf of a majority of the inhabitants of the district of St. Genieve and New Bourbon, between the Merimac river and Apple creek, whom they represent, are sincerely desirous that all distinction between Americans and Frenchmen should be done away, and as they consider it impossible to effect so desirable an object by professions alone, will cheerfully co-operate with the people of the district of St. Louis, as well as the other districts, and take such measures, as will effectually remove that jealousy which at this time so apparently exists between the two descriptions of people. We have been, perused and examined the proceedings of the committee at St. Louis, on the 2d and 15th of April last, of which we highly disapprove for the following reasons, to wit: First, because they arrogate and assume to themselves "cognizance of a bill passed by the Senate and presented to the House of Representatives" of the United States. Secondly, because they in an illegal and improper manner, "claim certain rights guaranteed them by the treaty" which ceded the territory of Louisiana to the United States. Thirdly, because they indicate a disposition to exert an undue influence over the governor and judges in their legislative capacity, by demanding a deputation from the different districts to meet at St. Louis, "fifteen days previous to their expected arrival" in order to usurp the functions of legislation, and as it would appear to exercise a dictatorial power. Fourthly, because they have assumed to themselves the right of apportioning to the other districts not only their number of delegates and the place of meeting, but also the manner in which they shall be chosen.
The following is an extract of a letter from Bologne, dated August 20th. It is translated from French papers lately received at Norfolk: "I was present to day at the most magnificent and warlike spectacle a people can offer. It was a review of one of the finest armies in the world, by a victorious general distributing marks of honor. Near Bologne, at the extremity of the right camp, the surface of the soil gradually declining, forms a large basin, the edges of which, gently rising, have formed an extensive circle, open only at one part, and that bordering on a precipice. In the center of the diameter of this circle, rose a simple, uncovered throne, in the taste of the bove, trophied with colors and arms, testimonies of their exploits, and crowned with the laurel of victory. On this throne, upon a chair belonging to the first race of our kings, his Imperial Majesty was seated, having at his right hand Prince Joseph, behind him the great officers of the crown, and at his side on a lower row, the ministers, the marshals, of the empire, the generals and senators—before, on the steps of the throne, were the Imperial aid-de-camps, and at the foot, upon benches, to the right, the counsellors of state, to the left, the civil and religious functionaries. The rest of the diameter was occupied by the Imperial guard and the music on one side,

and by 2600 drums on the other! At the extremity was the quarter-master-general of the army, and the quarter-master-generals of the camps—the two camps with their batteries, the entrance of the port and part of the roads, were open to the Emperor on his right, and the port of Vemereaux and the coast of Great Britain on his left—before him were seen advancing sixty battalions in twenty columns, whose heads occupied half the circumference of the circle—the extremities of the columns gradually rose towards the surrounding heights, which were covered with twenty squadrons of horse in order of battle, and served as a covering and ornament to the immense crowd of people, and to the tents set apart for ladies.
At twelve the Emperor rose—the drums beat to arms, while shouts of enthusiasm and joy rang through the army and people—the drums beat the charge, and in an instant the whole army was in motion, seizing their arms and closing their ranks!—This striking movement makes one glow with military ardor—the great chancellor of the Legion of Honor pronounced a discourse, and after a roll of drums, his Majesty administered the oath, the legionaries all cried “we swear!” and at once, by a spontaneous movement, the whole army repeated the oath of fidelity, and the cry of “long live the Emperor,” ran through the ranks, whilst the soldiers raised their colors and brandished their arms in sign of joy! The great officers, the commanders and the officers of the legion then approached the throne, were presented by the minister of war, and received each the decoration of the Eagle from the hands of his majesty—officers held these decorations in the shields and helmets of Duguesclin and Bayard. The aspect of this brilliant and brave army, the camps, the ports, the shores echoing with the noise of the waves and the cannon, the white cliffs of Albion—the rays of the sun escaping from the clouds to enliven the august display—the enemy’s vessels driven by the late tempest, and hiding themselves in the midst of the horizon—all these objects added to the inspiring presence of the Emperor, gave to our thoughts and minds, an indefinable pleasure, a lot of sentiment difficult to conceive of, and impossible to express.
Here follows a relation of the entry of the squadron of boats from Havre, which arrived at the time of the fete.
By the same papers we learn of the arrival of the famous Major HORNMANN, at London, from the interior of Africa—who has made great discoveries, and has been received with great eclat.
* A French battalion is about 1200 men, with the horse, the army must have been near 90 000 in number.

COMMERCIAL CIRCULAR.
Liverpool, August 10.
The Corn Bill, which is lately passed into a law, enacts, that so much of the former act as regulates the prices at which Grain and Flour might be imported or exported, shall be repealed.
By the present law it is enacted, that from and after the 15th of November next, the importation of grain and flour shall be regulated by the aggregate average price of the markets during the preceding quarter, in the whole of the twelve maritime districts in England and Wales.
The act also contains regulations for allowing the exportation of grain and flour, where the value is below certain specified average prices, and for encouraging the exportation, by the grant of bounties, when the average prices become Bill-tower.
It appears evidently, that it is the object of these regulations to increase the growth of grain in this kingdom, and in the British colonies, in order that the supplies produced by British subjects may be more adequate to their consumption than they have been for some years past.
For effecting this object, it is expected, that the regulations prescribed by the present act, will secure to the farmer a higher price than he would otherwise obtain; and if this consequence takes place, it must be obvious, that the prices of foreign grain in our markets will be proportionably advanced.
For many years past, the consumption of this country has constantly required the importation of large supplies of foreign grain, and there seems no present prospect that the necessary for a continuance of these supplies will be precluded for some time to come. By some judicious persons, it is doubted, whether the importations requisite for our future consumption will be materially lessened by the regulations of the present act; but on this point there is so much diversity of opinion, that the question must be left to the decision of time.
During the discussion of the bill, and since it has passed into a law, the prices of grain and flour have advanced generally throughout this kingdom. It appeared that this advance was, in the first instance, occasioned, in part at least, by the expected operation of the new regulations: and a further considerable increase of prices has taken place, in consequence of the prevalent apprehension that the present crop will prove defective. The weather thus far, and during the most material part of the harvest, has been, and continues exceedingly unfavorable; and the prospect will become serious, if a change does not take place soon.
According to the present act, the importation duties are to be regulated by the average prices of the twelve maritime districts, in England and Wales, and in consequence hereof, all the ports throughout the kingdom will in future be open for the importation of foreign grain and flour, on the same terms, and at the same time. In this respect the present regulations differ considerably from those of the former act, by which the importation duties in each maritime county, were regulated by the average prices of the particular district to which such county belonged. This greatly increases the difficulty of anticipating at which of the several duties the future importations of corn may be admitted in any particular port. It seems however to be generally expected, that the prices of next winter will admit the importation of Foreign grain and flour at the first low duty, and that there will be a demand for considerable supplies.
We have only further to add, that the present demand for grain and flour is very brisk. There is a duty of 10 per cent. on the imports in American vessels. The importation of Indian Corn Meal and Rye Meal, are wholly prohibited.
LONDON, September 12.
We, yesterday, received a letter from our correspondent at Vienna, of the 22d ult. which relates some of Bonaparte’s intrigues at that court, previous to the late revolutionary step of the Austrian Cabinet. “B for,” says the letter, “Senatus Consultus, making Bonaparte an Emperor of the French, was published at Paris, our Court, as well as those of St. Petersburg and Berlin, had been founded as to what manner they would regard such an act, and couriers were immediately sent by it to Russia and Prussia, to obtain the opinions of these cabinets.” We were soon informed by our Ambassador at Berlin, Count Metternich, “that whatever changes were determined on in France, would be approved of in Prussia, being regarded as mere formalities, as long as Bonaparte continued at the head of the French government.”
“Before the Court of St. Petersburg had time to answer our question on this subject, a courier brought to it an account of Bonaparte’s invasion of Germany, and murder of the Duke d’Enghien. The coolness before subsisting between Russia and France was now increased, and a proposal was made by Alexander I. to Francis II. of uniting with Russia, England, Turkey, and Sweden, and attempting to set a limit to Bonaparte’s crimes and encroachments. This proposal of Russia was seconded by the English and Swedish Ambassadors there; as both Russia and Prussia were arming, our Court ordered three large encampments, being desirous to be prepared to repulse all attacks made upon its independence. During this interval, the French Ambassador, Champagny, received courier upon courier, mostly confidential officers of Bonaparte’s guard, some carrying offers of aggrandizement, others threats of invasion, but all intriguing with our Ministers, as well as with our Courtiers, distributing presents to some and great promises to all.
“The proposal of an hereditary Austrian Emperor came from Talleyrand; but our Cabinet desired, at the same time, an hereditary Empire over Germany, which the Cabinet of St. Cloud strongly opposed. The Emperor and his family, to get rid of all those troublesome intriguers, and important intrigues, left his capital for Baden, and every thing seemed to indicate an alliance with Russia, and the formation of a new league against France, when Bonaparte’s favorite aid-de-camp, General Lauriston, arrived here with a kind of ultimatum, which required an immediate answer, and in threatening language declared, “that 300,000 Frenchmen should, before three months, be at our gates, and the King of Prussia be immediately elected a King of the Romans, if our Cabinet hesitated any longer to salute the Corsican an Emperor of the French: offering on the other hand, an augmentation of territory, with Belgrade, and other forts upon the Turkish frontiers, if we either joined in an alliance with France and Prussia, or only continued neutral.”
“Many great and unexpected obstacles had besides been met with in our negotiations with Russia and England. Our court was, therefore, on the eve of a war with France, without any alliance with other states, and had no
other choice left, but to take the determination it has done; a determination equally dictated by policy and prudence. By it time is at least gained; and if during the next winter, a general pacification cannot be brought about through the mediation of our Court, as desired by France, we will, at least, be better prepared than we are now to act as circumstances may require!
“I cannot conclude without mentioning a common report here of Prussia and France having offered to guarantee to our Court the proposed acquisitions on the Turkish frontiers, if, in its turn, would guarantee with France, to Prussia, the acquisition of Hanover and Swedish Pomerania, and, with Prussia, to France, the incorporation of the Batavian Republic. This I can state as certain, that Bonaparte still meditates great changes upon the Continent.”
LONDON, September 14.
The attention of the cabinet of Petersburg appears to be most actively directed to the naval and military department. The intelligence brought by the mails leads us to expect, by the next Hamburg mail, something of decisive importance. But there is no foundation for the rumours in circulation last night of government having received intelligence of the Russians having landed on the northern part of Holstein, and of the French having occupied the southern.
September 15.
In the Dutch papers it is stated, and the fact is probably correct, that the new title of Emperor of Austria, has already been recognised by the court of Berlin. According to the same papers the Imperial mania is not confined to Bonaparte and France. The King of Spain is also to assume the title of Emperor!!—The Emperor of the French, it is also surmised, means to assume the title of King of London.
An article from Frankfort states, that the French troops in Italy are rapidly desiring towards the sea coast. The ostensible cause of these movements are, to strengthen and protect the coast against probable hostile operations; but who the enemy is, from whom sudden incursions is to be apprehended, the foreign intelligence supplies us with no means of discovering.
September 16.
Yesterday government received information which induced a belief that the invasion would be attempted within a fortnight, and yesterday we received letters from three of our blockading squadrons, dated on Thursday, which state that the enemy’s preparations were complete, and that the continuance of the flotillas in port was owing to the want of water, in consequence of the neap tides. At Ostend there remain seven preams, ship rigged, each mounting from 8 to 24 guns, 24 pounders; 100 schooners, each mounting from 2 to 24 guns; 18 and 24 pounders; and 150 sail of brigs, cutters, and galliots, similarly armed. Notwithstanding this we feel it our duty to state that persons in communication with government, and possessing its confidence, treat the threat of invasion as a chimera.
Dispatches from Admiral Cornwallis, off Brest, mention a considerable degree of authority to prevail on board the enemy’s squadron, whose light vessels are always on the look out to give intimation of any temporary absence of the British cruisers. The French force is, to all appearance, perfectly ready for sea.
A letter from Russia, of the 10th ult. mentions that a new treaty of alliance between England and Russia, was on the tapis, and that the Courts of Vienna and Berlin were invited to become parties to it. No intelligence is received on the subject of the pending war between Russia and France.
The Toulon fleet is stated to have made another attempt to put to sea, but was prevented by the appearance of the British squadron.
The firing off Boulogne was renewed on Friday, but to what purpose is not known. Several of the enemy’s gun boats (some accounts say 100, others 20 or 30) were on Thursday outside the harbour.
The Emperor of Russia’s ultimatum, it is said, demanded indemnity to the King of Sardinia, the evacuation of the Neapolitan territories, and the deliverance of Hanover. Bonaparte sent his answer to it from Boulogne.
Bonaparte, we are told, is now building 36 ships of the line and 44 frigates; and has formed contracts for 2 more of the former class, and ten of the latter.

The peace establishment of Russia comprises 700,000 men, and 50,000 military servants—the possessees 10 millions of taxable male peasants, employed in agriculture, and may encircle her force to any extent.
The Swedish army consists of 14,000 regular infantry, 2000 cavalry, 25,000 militia infantry, and 2000 national cavalry. There are 7,500 sailors in the king’s service, and 15,000 more enrolled for the navy; in addition to which 20,000 seamen could be drawn from the
fisheries on the coasts of Sweden and Finland.
The Danish army in Denmark and Holstein, amounts to about 24,000 regular troops, and 12,000 militia; and in Norway to about 30,000 regulars and militia. There are 6000 seamen in royal service, and 20,000 more may be at any time assembled from the fisheries. The merchant service employs 10,000 more in about 300,000 tons of shipping.
Russia has in the Baltic 30 ships of from 60 to 120 guns, and upwards of 700 gallies, gun boats, and other small armed vessels.
Sweden has a navy of 20 ships, carrying from 40 to 74 guns, and nearly 300 gallies.
Denmark has 27 sail of the line, and about 50 floating batteries, gallies, &c.
The military establishment of France some months since, composed 568,000 men.
The most intelligent professional men differ so much in opinion respecting the probability of invasion, that it is only by dispassionately combining the matter related by each, that any thing like judgment can be formed. Some of our first naval authorities on the coast, so late as last Thursday, expressed their decided belief, that if Bonaparte ever was serious in his threats (which they conceived were merely intended to involve us in heavy expence, and by exciting apprehension for internal safety, to prevent our detaching for foreign conquest) his last visit to Boulogne had occasioned him to relinquish it, by demonstrating that from the length of time his flotilla would require to get out of port, the greater part of it would risk almost certain destruction from the elements, or from our fire, before a junction could be formed with them by the rest. We, on the other hand, yesterday received letters from three of our blockading squadrons, dated on Thursday, which state that the enemy’s preparations appeared to correspond with the accounts, that they were complete; our correspondents adding that they attributed the continuance of the flotillas in port to the want of water, in consequence of the neap tides. Little alteration had taken place at Flushing, or at Boulogne, except by the arrival of one praam and 50 other vessels from Ostend; at which latter place there remained seven praams, ship rigged, each mounting from 8 to 24 guns, 24 pounders; 100 schooners, each mounting from 2 to 24 guns, 18 and 24 pounders; and 150 sail of brigs, cutters, and galliots, similarly armed. Admiral Verbeul had gone with the last, as with the preceding squadron, to Boulogne, from whence he returned by land to Ostend.
In corroboration of this statement, it is positively alleged, that government yesterday received information which induced a belief, that the invasion would be attempted within a fortnight.
We feel it our duty to state in the most decided manner, that persons in communication with, and possessing the confidence of government, treat the threat of invasion as a chimera. We profess our solicitude that the attempt may speedily be made, as the means to demonstrate our security, and to permanently establish our quiet: and our only apprehension on this subject is, that the Corsican will say we have purchased the support of the Northern powers, and he must punish them preparatory to our destruction.
PARIS, August 10.
The Portuguese negotiator and ambassador, the Marquis de Lima, is daily expected; and immediately after his arrival, the commercial treaty, which Field Marshal Lasnes has been negotiating, will be finally concluded and signed. It is said, that in one of the articles, we obtain permission to import, duty free, the production of our silk and cloth manufactories, not only to the Portuguese ports in Europe, but to those in Brazil, and in the other Portuguese colonies. It is added, that this commercial treaty will immediately be followed by an offensive and defensive alliance between the Emperor of the French, the King of Spain, and the Regent of Portugal.
ITALIAN REPUBLIC.
Milan, July 30.
Four decrees of our Vice-President, have lately been published here; the first of which orders the formation of a battalion of veterans; the second appropriates a fund to be applied to the expenses of sending to Rome and maintaining there twelve young men to perfect themselves in the fine arts; the third prorogues the Special Criminal Tribunals until the new session of the Legislative Body; and the fourth authorises the minister of finances to grant a free entry to raw and manufactured tobacco, whether for the consumption of the inhabitants of the republic, or to be transported further.
The following is an exact statement of the population of the twelve departments which compose our republic:
Agona, 345,213 individuals; Lario, 371,594; Olonne, 346,234; Seriv, 294,142; Lamella, 325,925; Outre
Po, 361,079; Mincio, 290,489; Crofolo, 179,795; Pataro, 200,170; Bassano, 227,500; Reno, 421,812; Rubicon, 269,575.—Total 3,552,555 individuals.
The celebrated Kotzebue passed some time at Paris last spring, and has furnished an interesting journal of the events, characters, &c. that passed under his observation, as will appear from the following extract:
[Morning Chronicle.]
The Grand Parade is for the present one of the principal curiosities at Paris—I have seen it twice. I found myself, with several other persons, in a great hall, almost in the middle of the Tuileries, through which Bonaparte was to pass. The servants, with great politeness, showed us our places; but we were only obliged to our uniform that we were permitted to keep them. One of our party, in an undress frock, was told by an adjutant (in a polite manner too) that he could not remain where he was, but ordered another very commodious place to be shown him.
All the saloons were en haye occupied by the Consular Guard, ten or twelve in each, with two or three steps between them, in the same manner as in the stair-case, where two men were placed upon each step.—Of the infantry, four or five different regiments had already marched into the great court yard of the Tuileries. The regimentals are not very pleasing to the eye, because they are very plain, and the long coats neither handsome nor convenient; but the terrible great bear-skin caps give a warlike, fierce appearance. The national colours are not the only ones that decorate the colours or standards of the Consular Guards; they have in the middle golden suns, and are mostly green. The feathers of the officers of the consular guard are red and green. One unnecessary decoration with each regiment is the drum-major; clothed at the expence of the officers in an extravagant manner, and in which the corps emulate each other which shall be the most extravagant. The tallest and best looking men are chosen for these places. Their dress is, if I am not mistaken, of velvet, but so covered with gold lace, that you can hardly see their colour. Another vanity among the French military are whiskers, of which they are very careful, and which grow to an amazing thickness and length.—Among the Sappours are many men who let grow their black beards, in a manner that they fall down upon the breast. The cavalry were upon the outside of the iron railings round the place of the Caroussel. They consisted of chasseurs and the guard on horseback, with a beautiful regiment of Cuirassiers. The small corps of Mamelukes was remarkable for its Oriental dress.
The colours were now carried from the apartments of the First Consul. Immediately he came himself, surrounded with generals and aid-du-camps, all dressed in an elegant manner. Bonaparte himself wore a very plain dress, without any embroidery or other glitter, and a hat without lace, borders, or feathers. He marched very quick, and had only in his hand a very short whip. At the gate he mounted a bay horse, and, attended by a brilliant suite, rode slowly through the ranks. After having, in this manner, inspected the infantry, he rode out and inspected the cavalry in the same manner. There were, besides the troops collected, a crowd of people, of whom several presented petitions. As far as I could observe, every one was permitted to approach him; and what I had heard concerning the great measures of precaution for his safety, was at least not confirmed this time; because when I saw him ride round among the people, his life was in the hands of every desperate assassin. When he returned into the court-yard, he was several times detained by ladies, who approached him near, spoke with him, and presented petitions. As far as I could see, he gave those to his aid-du-camps. But one female among them, if my eyes did not deceive me, even took hold of the bridle of his horse, and her petition he opened directly, read, and gave a short answer.—During this time his faithful Mameluke was not, as has often been reported, near him, but only in his suite, behind all his generals.
Bonaparte next returned, and stopped at the entrance of the Tuileries, some few steps from where I stood. Here the Turkish minister, in the name of the Sultan, presented two horses, said to be beautiful. But of which beauty, little was visible to our eyes, because they were covered with long cloths, embroidered with gold and pearls.
They certainly had much vivacity, because, when two Turks mounted them to ride round the place, one was thrown off; but, as he seemed to be accustomed to it, he fell on his feet, and with one jump was again in the saddle. Bonaparte, who, during this cavalcade, took several pinches of snuff from his plain tortoise shell snuff box, did not condescend to honor this present with any particular notice, only sometimes he turned his eyes to them. On the contrary, he was totally occupied with his troops, whom, regiment after regime, as

He caused to manoeuvre before him. The chiefs of the regiments went each time to him with drawn swords, took his orders, and commanded accordingly. Each regiment particularly was forced to form a square, perhaps in commemoration of the war in Egypt. One of the regiments of the Consular Guard he ordered to exercise, to load and fire, the first rank to kneel, and the other two to fire over it. I do not know whether the word of command was rightly understood, but I am certain of it, it was very badly executed. Half of the companies stood still, considered for some time, and then one after another fell upon their knees. The Consul was so dissatisfied, that he ordered this manoeuvre seven or eight times over again. Afterwards the infantry filed off, and a delightful march was heard, not to be surpassed anywhere. We do not hear the usual marches with the regular repetition. They are more properly march symphonies, composed by good masters, and executed with the greatest precision. When the infantry left the Court Yard, the cavalry entered and filed off before and by the Consul, upon beautiful Hanoverian horses. These regiments made only some few evolutions, which closed this grand parade. Next were, for the first time, presented, a battalion of sailors, who were remarked for their curious axes and anchor hooks.
MEDITERRANEAN PASSPORTS.
Notice is hereby given, that it has been deemed expedient to change the form of the Mediterranean Passport if, used to vessels of the United States, that from the eighth day of July next, those of the new form will be issued at the custom houses to every vessel, for which application may be made on a compliance with the terms prescribed by law and surrendering the former passport of which they may be possessed, if any, in which latter case no fees will be required for the exchange; and that by an arrangement agreed upon by the Barbary powers, with whom we are at peace, either the old or the new form of passport will be sufficient to protect the vessels of the United States, from capture until the 1st of July 1805, after which the old form of passport will be unavailable and the new one alone in use.
Department of State, 23d of May, 1804. The printers of the laws of the United States are requested to insert the above in their Gazettes twice a week for the space of six months, and the Collectors of the Customs to keep copies of it posted up in their offices. May 30—2aw6m

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2.
Extract of a letter from Commodore PREBLE to the Secretary of the Navy, dated 14th June 1804, on board the United States Frigate Constitution off Tripoli.
"Yesterday I anchored off the Harbour and sent Mr. O'Brien on shore under a flag of Truce to endeavour to ransom our unfortunate countrymen, and if the Bashiaw should desire it, to establish peace. Mr. O'Brien did not succeed in his mission, he landed at noon and returned on board at 12 past 2 o'clock P. M. You will see by his instructions how far he was authorised to go for the ransom. I presume if the terms had been accepted that our government would have been satisfied, but they were refused, and we have no alternative but to oblige him to accept them or others more favorable for us."
Extract of a letter from Commodore Preble to the Secretary of the Navy, dated 5 July, 1804, on board the Constitution, Messina Harbour.
WE have taken on board here 700 bomb shells, and powder in proportion and the bomb vessels being ready, we sail to-morrow morning. I hope my next letter will announce to you our success against Tripoli, the restoration of our unfortunate countrymen to the sweets of liberty, and our country an honorable peace.
Extract of a letter dated TUNIS , July 10.
"AT length Naples has felt a spasm of energy; and its squadron for the first time made a visit to this port; but we cannot imagine the reasons which prevented the admiral's making himself master of the whole naval force of this Regency. On the 26th ultimo, one ship of the line, and three frigates, entered the road of the Gouletta, shewing English colours; (most of the corsairs were ready for sea, and anchored at a considerable distance from the batteries) a frigate laid along side of the Tunisian frigate, and commenced the attack by a general discharge of musketry, shewing at the same time the Neapolitan flag; some of the Tunisians on board the frigate instantly cut her cables, while others endeavored to make their escape by swimming to the shore: the Tunisian frigate, drifted under the full force of the enemy's great guns. She was completely equipped and ready for sea; nine of her crew were killed, about twenty wounded; and an equal number of prisoners made, which were taken up by the boats of the Neapolitans: She is considerably damaged in her hull, has two shot between wind and water, and her foremast, somewhat injured. There were no soldiers in the forts, except a few Moors who were not sufficient to man half a dozen guns; they notwithstanding kept up a tolerable brisk fire for nearly two hours after, the Neapolitans had ceased; and until they stood out of the Roadstead—no damage was done to any of the other corsairs, and not one captured, except a small Galiota off Porto farina."
We are indebted to a respectable correspondent at Charleston for the following complete statement of the votes given for a Representative in Congress for that District:
  St. Thomas and St. Dennis (omitted in place) 13 6   St. Philip and St. Michael (including Charleston). 414 306   Christ Church, 47   St. James's, G. C. 38 24   St. James's Santee, 24   St. John's, Berkeley County, 56 4   St. Stephen's, 40   St. Andrew's, 17 25   St. John's, Colleton Co. 25 46   661 405   Republican majority. 674 411   674 263 
Our correspondent adds:
"I inclose you a complete return for member of Congress from our District; you will find I was within bounds when I stated, as my opinion, that Mr. Marion would have a majority of more than 200—Every other member from this state will be republican."
If the result of the elections be such as our correspondent represents, there will be a substitution of two republicans for two federalists, making a difference of four.
The general result of the elections for representatives in Congress which have recently taken place is as follows:
  Rep. Fed.   Rhode-Island 2 0 no change.   New-Hampshire 0 5 no change.   Connecticut 0 7 no change.   Georgia 4 0 no change.   Kentucky 4 0 no change.   rep. gain. fed. gain.   Pennsylvania 17 1 1   Delaware 0 1 1   Maryland 7 2 1   North Carolina 12 0 1   South Carolina 6 0 2   54 16 4

New York. October 29.
The ship Sultan , arrived yesterday in 37 days from Dublin, has furnished 14th Papers to the 20th of September, containing London dates some days later than before received. No event of importance had occurred; but they contain some rumours which deserve notice. The captain of a neutral vessel, arrived at London, reported that the Russians had landed a considerable force on the northern coast of Holstein; and the captain of another said that the French had taken possession of the south of that Duchy, and had levied heavy contributions on it. Another report, which may have given rise to the former, was, that general Barnadotte had threatened to take possession of it if any Russians were allowed to land there. A Russian fleet of seven sail of the line and six frigates had arrived in the Sound, intended to cruise in the Baltic and the North Sea. A rumour was circulated in London at the Stock Exchange, on the 14th, that a peace would shortly be effected between Britain and France, but nothing had transpired that could corroborate it. Paris papers had been received to the 5th ult. which mention that Bonaparte had reached Mons on his way to Aix la Chapelle.
LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Rev. Mr. Harris has issued Proposals for publishing the Journal of his Tour in the territory North West of the Allegany Mountains; to be illustrated with Maps and Views. The Prospectus leads us to expect much topographical information respecting an interesting part of our country, of which there have been published only vague
and exaggerated accounts; with some curious particulars of the appearance, dimensions and probable history, of the prodigious forts and pyramidal mounds on the banks of the Muskingum and Scioto—"the military evidences of a great population in some remote, forgotten period."
It is hoped that a work so valuable and curious will be favored with the most liberal patronage. Boston Bal.

Charlotte Hall School.
AGREEABLY to public notice, the Trustees of this institution held their annual examination of the pupils on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of September: John A. Stuart, Esq. of Fairhaven, Virginia, at the particular request of the Board presided during this examination and, at the close, in a most elegant and appropriate address, expressed "his highest approbation, his most unbounded astonishment and applause." How grateful to the feelings of the Trustees were the loud plaudits of a numerous assembly of the parents and guardians of children committed to their care! During the orations there appeared an ecstacy of joy! and, the calm satisfaction which was exhibited in the examination of the different classes in Homer, Lucian, Greek Testament, Cicero, Terence, Virgil, Castar, Ovid, Cornelius Nepos, Set. Vet. Erasmus, Corderius, and every part of Grammar, gave equal pleasure to the Trustees and to an attentive audience.
With what rapture did every spectator anticipate the future benefits which may result to society from the growing success of this rising establishment—with what delight did all behold 128 pupils in perfect health! and not a single child, accidentally detained, was absent from sickness. The Trustees hope, that this public approbation of the performance of the pupils will stimulate them to persevere in the race of glory and will rivet to their youthful minds this important truth, that education will render them useful citizens and good men.
The classes will open on the 6th day of October next under the following arrangement:
 GEORGE RALPH, A. M. Principal.  OWEN F. MAGRATH, A. M. Vice Principal.  JAMES TOOMY, Assistant in the classical school.  NEALE H. SHAW, English master.  M. DESMANGLES, Professor of the French language.  By order of the Board of Trustees, WM. THOMAS, Chairman. October 5—

American Printed goods.
Calicoes, Shawls, Pocket Handkerchiefs, &c. manufactured by the subscribers near Baltimore, and sold at No. 13 Calvert street.
To remove that distrust often felt respecting new undertakings, and so prejudicial to manufacturing attempts in America, they think it proper to observe, that nothing is wanting in the business to enable good artists to perform their work here as well as in Europe. That they have these artists; that two of the partners were bred to the business in a factory of the best repute carried on by their father, & long afterwards by themselves. They trust that while foreign goods are received without a question, an unreasonable suspicion will not prevent their countrymen from giving that trial to their goods, which only can prove their value. Besides a natural doubt, they know that certain interests, national as well as individual, will suggest objections to their undertaking. They have no difficulty in saying, that work of the like kind shall be as well executed here, as in other countries. The colors capable of being fixed, will be found as permanent; the cloths perhaps better substance, and the prices lower than of the imported cottons.

Centre House Inn.
SOLOMON MYER has opened the above tavern in 9th street, in the city of Washington, about 30 yards north of Pennsylvania avenue, nearly opposite Messrs. Herford's distillery, and about half way between the Capitol and the President's house, as also between the Theatre and Centre Market; for which he respectfully solicits a share of the public patronage; his charges will be moderate, corresponding with Pennsylvania tavern rates, as to victualing, lodging, liquors, &c. and horse feed as markets will permit—he deems it unnecessary to exaggerate as is usual on such occasions, or to file his house by the usual epithets of, large, best, commodious, &c. as probably no occupation has more ready means of recommending and advertising its own convenience than that of tavern-keeping: he must however inform such of his friends, who wish to take boarding for a time, and have their lodging-rooms retired or distinct from the tavern, that he has rented the house opposite his own buildings lately built by Mr. Young, which is suitable for that purpose.

PROPOSALS
BY JOHN DIXON,
For Printing by Subscription, a Periodical Work, to be entitled the
VIRGINIA MAGAZINE, OR, Monthly Miscellany.
CONDITIONS.
 I. The work to contain 68 pages (Octavo) monthly, of selected miscellaneous prose, and of original prose also, whenever the exertions of the Editor, and his Assistant, and the communications of correspondents can supply it.  II. Of improvements and experiments in Agriculture, with which the Editor hopes to be furnished by the Farmers, &c. of this and other states, or to select himself.  III. Of Debates in Congress.  IV. Of Foreign and Domestic Intelligence.  V. Of Selected Poetry, and Original too, whenever good can be procured and not other Owise.  VI. Marriages and Deaths.  VII. Of Prices Current.  VIII. The work to be printed on good paper, and with a neat type.  IX. The price to Subscribers, to be Five Dollars per annum, one half to be paid on the delivery of the first number, and the balance at the expiration of six months after.  X. The work to be put to press as soon as 300 Subscribers are obtained. 
PROSPECTUS.
THE utility and rational amusement derivable from well conducted Magazines, probably will not be controverted. They afford an asylum for many fugitive essays, that might otherwise meet with a more rigorous fate than they merit. The brevity of their articles and their longer duration of existence than that of some other periodical publications, hold out an inducement to that indolence, too frequently the attendant of genius, and to those pressed by the cares of business, to devote an hour or two to their own entertainment, and the pleasure and instruction of the community, while the greater variety of subjects they comprise, gives them a decided superiority over several other works. —For they contain something to suit the palate of every one, and may be particularly pleasing and instructive to those who have not the inclination or the leisure to peruse more prolix writings. There are few countries, where a love of reading prevails and science is regarded, in which Magazines are not numerous and well received. And yet the Subscriber thinks he is correct in saying that not one is published in the respectable state of Virginia. He desires to publish one, principally of a Literary complexion, provided he obtains adequate support, in which case he flatters himself, that his exertions will prove fully satisfactory to his patrons. For any reluctance to subscribe, arising from a non-compliance of any persons who may have issued proposals, similar to the foregoing, the subscriber has it only in his power to say that he pledges his honor to comply with his engagement, if supported by the public.
