For the National Intelligencer.
Purchase of Louisiana. This naturally brings us to the Seventh enquiry, whether the sum paid is too great.
For the payment of fifteen millions of dollars, one fourth whereof goes to the satisfaction of the just demands of our citizens against the French government,
 1. We have averted war for the present.  2. We have removed the occasion of war, so far as the possession of New Orleans and Louisiana by another nation might have caused it, forever.  3. We have acquired the actual seat of a very extensive trade.  4. We have gained a territory of at least 200 millions, and probably 400 millions of acres. 
It will already appear that this enquiry opens a large field of discussion. But for our purpose to be concise, remarks of importance might be multiplied to a great extent. We shall confine ourselves to the outlines, leaving it to the understanding of the intelligent citizen to fill them up.
We have agreed to pay fifteen millions. How? Not by immediate payment of that sum; but simply by giving certificates of the existence of our engagement, and a promise to render payment at the expiration of fifteen years, in the mean time paying six per cent interest.
It is in general sound policy to pay at the time for whatever either an individual or a nation contracts. This principle is founded on the individual or the nation in general coming into the immediate enjoyment of what is contracted for; it being equitable that he who acquires a benefit should pay the price of it. But in the present case, the reverse is in a great degree the case. The United States, consisting at present of five millions of inhabitants, acquires a territory of considerable present value, but of greater future value. She therefore immediately obtains a certain advantage; but she will hereafter obtain a much greater advantage; that is her citizens at the end of fifteen years, amounting to about eight millions, which will be the then population, will enjoy much greater advantages from this cession than are at present reaped. This will arise from the vast increase of western population and trade, and the consequent augmentation of the value of land in that region of America. Most judiciously then and equitably has our government so made the purchase, that while our present population of five millions shall pay the interest of the fifteen millions of dollars, to wit, nine hundred thousand dollars, the population of the United States, at the expiration of fifteen years, shall pay the principal, to wit, the fifteen millions of dollars. It is an arduous task to conduct public affairs that public benefits and burthens shall be equalised, not only among all classes of the citizens at any one time, but likewise among the whole mass of the citizens at different periods. In Great Britain so systematically has this just principle been violated, that the public burthens are constantly pressing with accumulated weight upon each succeeding generation, while the public benefits are narrowed with the same systematic injustice. This effect our government has wisely avoided without sacrificing the rights of our present citizens.
Farther, of these fifteen millions payable by the government, one fourth goes to our own citizens. I will not say that this would have been otherwise lost to them; but I will say that this is my belief. There can be no doubt that, at least, immediate payment could not have been expected from France, under her present circumstances; and considering the unavoidable delays, denials of right, and expenses attending the recovery, one half at least would have been lost.
Supposing the whole to have been lost to our merchants, they would have lost a capital of 3,750,000 dollars by the immediate possession of which they will be enabled, in the fifteen ensuing years, to acquire in the ordinary course of trade, estimating the annual profit at ten per cent, about eight millions of dollars, which added to the principal sum of 3,750,000 makes eleven millions seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars gained to the country, more than three fourths of the amount of the purchase money.
Supposing the half to have been lost had it not been for the treaty the benefit produced by the purchase would be proportionate.
Placing, however, this important effect of the purchase aside let us take
the simple view of certain profit and loss attending it.
We shall pay 900,000 dollars a year for fifteen years, when we shall pay fifteen millions of dollars.
On the other hand by avoiding war for the present, we shall have escaped an expense, as has been seen, arising in one year of thirty millions to the government, and seven and an half millions, in addition to the nation.
Calculating the war to continue five years, the expense to the government would have been 150 millions, and that in addition to the nation 37 and an half millions, independent of the interest paid for these immense sums and the expenses of collecting the taxes laid to pay them, which may be computed at thirty millions, making altogether an aggregate of two hundred and seventeen millions and an half of dollars. This vast sum would have to have been raised by taxation or loan. If by taxation, it would have operated as a tax of sixty dollars a year upon every taxable in the United States, or of three hundred dollars for each taxable for the five years of war.
Let us now compute the expense of the purchase to each taxable in the United States. At present there will be paid by each, reckoning the taxables at 700,000, about one dollar and twenty-eight cents a year, which sum will gradually diminish at the rate of between three and four per cent. every year as our numbers increase; so that at the arrival of the fifteenth or last year, there will be payable by each taxable about twenty-five cents; the average between the two sums makes the annual payment of each taxable about one dollar.
Such is the present cost of the purchase. On the other hand the present gain will be the actual enjoyment of the trade of New Orleans, and the immense territory of Louisiana.
The present trade of the Mississippi is great; its future trade is destined to be immense. A moderate computation of the present population connected with the Mississippi amounts to one million of souls, whose wants would be supplied and productions conducted to market by this stream. This constitutes nearly a fifth of the whole population of the United States. The rapidity with which this population will extend is almost incalculable. An increase of fifteen per cent. will be within the truth. The present exports of the United States are about thirty-five millions, and the imports about the same. The portion of each then that ought to fall to the western country would be about seven millions. But deduct one half of this, as an allowance for the greater capital and superior convenience of the Atlantic states and an amount is left of three and a half millions. It is known that this is beyond the present trade of the Mississippi; but it may be confidently expected that it will in a year or two fall short of it. Take the trade, however, as it actually is, at about two millions in amount. The free and undisturbed enjoyment of that trade will undoubtedly be productive of great benefits national as well as individual. But this, from the numerous circumstances connected with it, is not susceptible of calculation. There is however one view susceptible of accuracy, for which these remarks have been principally made—the duties payable into the Treasury on goods imported.
On the above data, the importations on the Mississippi now make about a seventeenth part of the whole importations into the union. From the whole, duties are derived to the annual amount of ten millions; a seventeenth part of which will be equal to about 600,000 dollars. This will be the present immediate gain of the government independent of and in addition to the incalculable benefits derived to the citizens by an undisturbed trade.
There is every reason to believe that this trade will progress with a greater rapidity than the population of the western country, on account of the cheapness of living in the west, the great fertility of the soil, and the spirit of enterprise excited by the vastness of the field. From these combined causes we should not be surprised if in a few years that country should gain its due share of commerce; in such event her trade, according to her increasing numbers, would rise to above a fifth of that of the whole union, and would of course place in the national Treasury above two millions of dollars.
But confining our estimates within the most moderate bounds, let us take the present trade of that country as our basis, and graduate its increase for the
fifteen succeeding years with the probable increase of numbers, to wit, fifteen per cent annually. Let us compare the duties on imports that will accrue during these years with the sum payable by the government for the purchase of New Orleans and Louisiana. The difference will be the present profit or loss.
   Sum payable. Duties. Loss.     1804—900,000 660,000 210,000   1805—900,000 780,000 120,000   1806—900,000 870,000 30,000   Total loss $360,000   Sum payable. Duties. Gain.   1807—900,000 960,000 60,000   1808—900,000 1,050,000 150,000   1809—900,000 1,140,000 240,000   1810—900,000 1,230,000 330,000   1811—900,000 1,320,000 420,000   1812—900,000 1,410,000 510,000   1813—900,000 1,500,000 600,000   1814—900,000 1,590,000 690,000   1815—900,000 1,680,000 780,000   1816—900,000 1,770,000 870,000   1817—900,000 1,860,000 960,000   1818—900,000 1,950,000 1,050,000   Total gain, 6,660,000  
From this view it appears that for the three first years the government will have to pay 360,000 dollars more than they receive by the purchase. Add the interest on these sums, and you will have the sum of about 389,000 dollars.
It further appears that for the twelve succeeding years, besides paying the 900,000 dollars annually as contracted, they will gain 6,660,000 dollars. Add the interest on the above sums, annually accruing, and in the aggregate amounting to this sum, you will have the sum of 8,149,000.
Taking the loss of the three first years from the profit of the twelve last, viz.
8,149,000 389,000 You have the clear profit of, 7,760,000
This sum will have been acquired by the government at the expiration of fifteen years, when the period shall have arrived for the payment of fifteen millions. Taking it from that sum, there will remain to be paid about seven millions three hundred thousand dollars. This sum will, according to the above estimate, come into the treasury in the shape of duties in a period of something less than six years. After which period all the accruing duties will be a clear gain, producing annually at least between one and two millions.
One consideration has not been yet dwelt upon—the actual value of the land acquired. This is almost incalculable. The quantity may be fairly estimated between two and four hundred millions of acres; and the soil of a considerable portion is acknowledged on all hands to be equal in fertility to any lands in the world. The remainder is probably, like all the large tracts elsewhere explored, made up of all qualities of lands. If kept from market until our other territory is settled it may undoubtedly average the value of two dollars an acre; amounting, say to the sum of six hundred millions of dollars.
When this great eventual value is considered, and the immense sacrifice of treasure avoided by escaping the expenses of war, can it admit of a doubt that the government have made a good bargain.

August 3. xawif
Having found amusement ourselves in the following federal portrait of the British Ministry, and encomium upon the private vices of public men, we offer it for the amusement of our readers.
From the Charleston Courier.
From the general color of the debates in the British Parliament, and the whole aspect of the public opinion as disclosed in the detached writings of the public prints, it is clear that the ministers of the St. James's cabinet have, so far as they have gone, fulfilled the expectations or rather fears of those who knew them, and accomplished the predictions grounded on their acknowledged feebleness.
It appears from the speeches of the most able and distinguished men in the kingdom, that these persons, on whose exertions the independence perhaps of no inconsiderable part of the civilized world at this moment rests, have already been guilty of most dangerous and criminal weaknesses and delay. In any case, procrastination (the thief of time, as it has been well called) is dangerous—in warfare still more so—but in warfare with an enemy whose energetic celerity has absolutely borne away before it like a torrent, all the old established arts of war, and all scientific military tactics, it can scarcely fail to be ruinous. In the most active and vigorous administration of affairs, accident and difficulty may occasion delays, but the mischief will again be retrieved by redoubled efforts. In the present case it is otherwise—the highest speed of the present set of men could not keep pace with the lazy dog-trot of a good peace administration. If they stop only to take up their hat or whip, they are completely thrown out of the chase—for they have not speed to recover what they have lost. Not only the whole Grenville party in the male, but Mr. Pitt, Earl Moira, and many others, who have not agreed with the general opinions of that party, all concur in censuring the tardiness of the British ministers. Many acquiesce, and affect to consider them as having done enough—and these found their opinions upon an internal persuasion that an invasion will not be attempted, without ever recollecting that if there were in the mind of Bonaparte a doubt respecting invasion, the decision upon it, doubt would depend upon the preparation made in England for his reception. In this point of view alone the mischief of having such an administration is very great. It is of itself sufficient temptation to the French to hazard an invasion. Were old William Pitt (Lord Chatham) at the head of affairs, Bonaparte would as soon think of trying, like the fabled Titans of old, to scale heaven, as of attempting to invade England. But while the safety of that country is committed to the care of that court minister, Lord Hawkesbury, who has been laid, hatched, reared up and trained in the worst puddle of court corruption—end of the grave, pompous, snail-flow Addington, in whom a good preacher was spoiled to make a bad minister, there is every inducement which a feeble cabinet can hold out, to Bonaparte, to attempt an invasion.
Nothing but a retrospect of his Britannic majesty's reign could render it credible that while a world await with painful anxiety and apprehension the conduct of Great Britain in this eventful moment, he would be so blind to the honor and interests of the country, so blind to the gulph and precipice that gape before him, so insensible to his danger, and so dast to all the lugubrious of sound policy; even of common sense; and above all, so lost to the recollection of the past, as to rest the whole fate of himself, his crown, and his country, upon the exertions of a set of men, eminent for incapacity, to the exclusion of all the talents of the country.
It must afford but a melancholy scope for consideration, to the people of England, to look back upon the reign of their present sovereign, to see that it has been but one illu of error and imbecility; that of forty-three years in which he has reigned, for thirty at least, the government of the country has been devoted to the counsels of the weak and the corrupt, and that now, at the close of that time, when experience might be supposed to supply the wisdom which nature denied; and the awfully, the tremendous danger of the times, to correct and conquer obstinacy; they should still be the same perverse attachment to the pernicious lessons which first marred his reign; the same distempered humours which excluded from his cabinet, as if by general prostration, all virtue and talent,
and which, at the expense of one hundred millions of money, and the expenditure of oceans of blood, split the empire asunder, and separated for ever one part of it from the other.
The virtues of the private man are often dangerous vices in a prince. So says a great author. We believe it is Junius. The private virtues of the king of England have rendered him so dear to the people, while they are aware of the injuries his choice of ministers has done the country, that it may fairly be questioned whether there ever was a monarch so beloved. At this awful crisis, the private virtues which impair the public strength, might be spared. The benevolence of Henry IV. and the chastity of Scipio, rendered them illustrious, because they served to throw their brilliant talents and heroic actions into high relief. But had Henry been only benevolent, and had Scipio no other virtue but chastity, they would be as useless to their country as so many empty bottles; perhaps pernicious, by occupying the space which great men should fill. In short, the talents of one Pitt, one Windham, one Fox, or one Sheridan, at this exigent moment, would be worth a thousand synagogues of piety, and all the chastity that ever was immured in all the convents of the world. One Peter, drunk as a Muscovite boor, would be worth all the water drinkers upon earth to confront Bonaparte.
FROM MARTINIQUE.
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
Fort de France, 26th Thermidor (3d of August) 11th year.
Admiral Villaret Joyeuse, captain general of Martinique and its dependencies.
To his excellency the governor of St. Thomas's, and to the other governors of neutral islands
Sir,  I am informed by commodore Samuel Hood, commanding the naval forces of England, of the notification which he has made to the neutral governments, concerning the blockade of the ports of this colony, which he has thought himself able to undertake pretending to shut them against strangers, to whom he goes so far as to declare that it is his intention to capture them even on their going out.
A measure so opposite to the laws of nations and to the rights of neutrality has doubtless astonished your excellency no less than me. It is to be presumed that that officer, perceiving the advantages assured to strangers by my proclamation of the 11th Mesidor, struck with the spectacle of the field offered to their industry by the opening of all the ports of a colony so interesting as Martinique; possessed of the advantages which the French government would thence reciprocally derive, was sensible that the enterprising spirit of speculation could not be repressed by ordinary obstacles. But in calling your eyes on the chart of this colony, your excellency cannot but perceive, and convince such owners of vessels as may be inclined to make shipments for our ports, how illusory is such a blockade, undertaken by a single ship and one or two sloops of war (for this is all the force at present appears on our coast) since there is not a road nor a creek of the colony which is not open to strangers, and where they do not enjoy the protection of our batteries, at which the inhabitants of the colony do duty with a zeal beyond all praise, finding daily their reward in the almost uninterrupted arrival of the necessary supplies; while they who bring them those supplies are in their turn rewarded by the profitable markets occasioned by the present state of affairs.
To the means which I owe to local circumstances I hope soon to add those which are announced to me from France, whence I shortly expect a division perhaps strong enough to give me for some time the superiority, but at all events fully sufficient to enable me to protect, by sea, vessels arriving in our coasts.
Nor can the English hope for success from a permanent cruise during the hurricane months, as to be induced constantly to expose their ships in that season. Thus every thing concurs to show that all physical causes oppose the practicability of continuing a blockade thus undertaken.
Your merchants being relieved from erealiness on this score, need not be alarmed concerning the motives which commodore Hood may pretend for this act of hostility with which he menaces

then should his cruelties in fact commit any such acts.
Can that officer think, that if his ships of war are not sufficiently numerous to shut up the extent of coast we possess, he has the right to punish, as they go out, such vessels of your nation as entering have breached his vigilance? And would not the slightest remonstrance from your government suffice to put a stop to such a proceeding? Not to speak of appeals to the tribunals of England, which public notoriety declares to have frequently, in preceding wars, annulled prizes made in a manner much less extraordinary.
The proceeding of commodore Samuel Hood towards you, appeared to me, Sir, to require these observations, which I have thought it my duty to submit to your excellency, to enable you to do away, as far as in you lies, the motives of discouragement which have been held up to foreign merchants.
I have the honor to be, &c.
VILLARET.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 10.
On the 1st inst. PETER PEDERSON, Esq. Charged d'Affairs of his Danish Majesty, received from the PRESIDENT his exequatur, as Consul for his said Majesty to the United States.
THE PARADE.
On Saturday last the First Legion of the MILITIA of the district of Columbia, commanded by Col. Brent, assembled on the ground between the President's house and the Potomac, and were reviewed by Brigadier Gen. Mason, in the presence of the President of the United States, the heads of department, and other officers of government.
The Legion, composed of one troop of horse, one company of artillery, one company of grenadiers, one company of light infantry, and eight companies of infantry, amounting in the whole to about 800, was formed about 11 o'clock in the morning. The whole body, with the exception of but a few privates, was in complete uniform, armed and properly equipped; and went through the evolutions and manoeuvres of the day, animated by the firing of artillery and martial music of the marine corps, with promptness and precision. The parade was attended by a great concourse of spectators, among whom was a large number of Ladies, who, after the exercises were over, partook of a collation given by Col. Brent.
After the dismissal of the Legion, Col. Brent, addressed the officers, and in terms appropriate, and impressive, enforced the importance of an energetic and well disciplined militia, inculcated the necessity of an unremitting attention to duty, and congratulated them on the great progress made in disciplining the troops, evinced by the exercises of the day, stating that the President of the United States had expressed his high satisfaction at their good appearance and improvement.
As no spectacle is better calculated to awaken the honest pride of an American, devoted to our republican institutions, than that of the great body of the people displaying their legitimate energy, so none can give greater pleasure to the citizens of a territory, on which is devolved many duties on the efficient performance of which depend the safety and tranquillity of the highest authorities of the nation. The whole union does not, perhaps, furnish an instance, in which, during a period of peace, so rapid a progress has been made in training and organizing the militia. The success of the experiment is at once honorable to the government, under whose auspices it has been conducted, and to the citizens who have aided it by a cheerful performance of duty—The execution of the system has, we understand, developed some defects, an intimation of which will be made to Congress.

Last year for the above counties, there were elected 44 republican and fourteen federal members; while this year, there are elected 46 republican and 12 federal members.
The House of Delegates of Maryland, consisting of 80 members, it follows, from the above return, that the republicans have already a majority of 12. There is no doubt that this majority will be considerably augmented by the remaining returns.

FROM THE BOSTON CHRONICLE, OF October 3.
SAMUEL ADAMS, IS DEAD!
We have the mournful task to announce to the public, that on yesterday morning, about a quarter past seven o'clock, at his house in this town, DIED, in the 82d year of his age, SAMUEL ADAMS, late governor of this commonwealth, the consistent and inflexible patriot and republican.
To attempt, at this moment, even to sketch an outline of a character equally conspicuous for private virtue and public service, would betray a want of that information respecting the deceased, which time and profound reflection alone can justly describe. We shall now only observe, that he has been a prodigy of talents and industry; of which the lapse of ages will not produce a parallel.
In his useful career, his soul seemed occupied with but one sentiment, and that comprehended every circumstance which had any relation to the interests and independence of his native country, and the rights and liberty of the human race.
The foe of tyrants, in every form; the friend of virtue and her friend, he died beloved, as he had lived respected. Admiring posterity, penetrated by a just sense of his transcendant merits, will emphatically hail him as the undeviating friend of civil and religious liberty, and the Father of the American Revolution!
“Let virtuosi, with assiduous dread, Preserve from rust a medal'd Cæsar's head; Freemen will keep, with more industrious aim From slander's vile aspersion—Hancock's fame, While fun and stars revolve with course sublime, Adams shall scorn th' all sweeping rage of time; His glorious toils in lifes perenial bloom, Till Nature's winter strip his laurel'd tomb.”
A loan has been opened by the house of Hope and Co. De Smith and Willack, with the French Government; for 5 millions of dollars, to be paid for in American Louisiana stock. Amsterdam paper.
The Portuguese have at length gained an advantage by sea over the Algerines. The Vosee da Gama, a Portuguese ship of the line, cruising before Algiers, was attacked by three large xebecs and a forty-gun frigate, which formerly belonged to the Portuguese. The Algerines attacked with their usual fury and desperation, but the Portuguese captain made so good a defence, that after a fight, which lasted three hours, he sunk two of the xebecs, and captured the third, in which he had the happiness to find 200 prisoners, whom he set at liberty. The frigate, however, contrived to make her escape.

Extract of a letter from (Scot.) of a recent date received by the ship Fanny.
"Since this war commenced, Bankruptcies to a great extent have occurred, and are still occurring in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Greenock, and Glasgow. In Greenock, about 43 bankruptcies, in Glasgow near 200 have taken place since its commencement—two of the houses have failed for about half a million each. One of the New Castle Banks, the Berwick Bank, the Darling ton, the Durham, of the Carlisle Banks, and several others in England have failed. All our Scotch Banks stand steady. Indeed the English Banks are not on such a good footing as the Scotch, as they have to give an exclusive privilege to the Bank of England. No Bank can be created there to consist of more than five partners. These, of course, are men often engaged in other trades, and their Stock in the Bank is but small. In Scotland a Bank consists of as many partners as they please, with a given capital which none of the partners can draw out for their own particular use; nor get bills discounted, but by having other names than their own on the paper."
COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
Capt Johnson, arrived at Boston from Hamburg, has furnished the following paper.
CIRCULAR.
Hamburg August 11.
To the captains and Superintendents of such vessels of the United States of America as may present themselves at the mouth of the Elbe, being destined for the port of Hamburg.
Gentlemen, At the present unforeseen and very difficult crisis, an indifference to the commercial interests of my country would be highly reprehensible in me. I have therefore thought proper to convene the Merchants of this city who are in habits of business with those of the United States, and to ask their opinion as to the measures which ought to be adopted. Happily for me, I have found my own impressions strengthened by this deliberation—the object of this communication is not to dictate, or controul but merely to advise you, as to the line of conduct, which it will be most prudent for you to observe, under existing circumstances.
In the first place, I would recommend your going into the nearest neutral port, which you may be allowed to enter: In this you will attend to the orders you may receive from the blocking squadron, but avoid entering the ports of any of the Belligerent powers, except constrained to do it by superior force, or necessity. As this circumstance will much increase the risk you may be obliged to incur in any subsequent change of destination.
To those of you who may not have pilots, or be well acquainted with the Danish coast, it is well to observe that the river Eyder, is not navigable by vessels drawing more than ten feet water. On your arrival in the nearest neutral port as above recommended, should your cargo entirely be consigned to one house, you will write them for instructions and such arrangements for an additional freight and insurance in case of carrying it to another port, as prudence may suggest. Should it be addressed to several consignees, in forwarding a copy of your manifest to me, I shall communicate it to them and cheerfully lend my aid for the common interests of all concerned.
I am, &c. J. M. FORBES, Consul of the United States of America.
Important letter from the American consul at Algiers to the American consul at Cadiz.
Circular.
Algiers, Aug. 2d
"I have to inform you, that this moment has entered this port two galactas, Tripoline corsairs, with three laten sails and carry 4 guns, from 50 to 60 men, each, 13 benches of oars; they came from the eastward, will sail in a few days for the coast of Spain, no doubt in search of American unarmed merchant vessels. You will give this information to the masters of American merchant vessels, and to all whom it may concern in the port of your district, and adjacent, and to the captains of any of the United States ships of war, which can be informed in time to prevent the sea-raiding evil, and to search with vigilance for these marooning crafts."
I am, with respect, Your obedient servant, (Signed) RICHARD O'BRIAN. JOSEF YZNARDI, Esq. Cadiz."
Extract of a letter from the captain of the ship South-Carolina, to his owners, dated Havre, August 17, 1803.
"I wrote you from Fecamp three days after my arrival here, but did not mention that all Americans are embargoed for want of certificates of their cargoes from the French Consul, certifying that they do not consist of the manufactory or produce of Great Britain, nor any of the colonies. This order of the French government was passed during my passage, for which reason it was out of my power to procure one."
"In this situation we are detained, without having liberty either to discharge or depart with the same cargo. I have been in Paris for three weeks, using all the interest that lay in my power, with that of Mr. Livingston, our minister, and many others of great interest, but all to no purpose; but expect soon to get through with it one way or other, either to return with the same cargo, or discharge."
"The business is all transacted through the hands of the first consul, who presides over the civil as well as military departments."
August 20.
"I have just returned from the Tribunal respecting the suit with the consignees of the cargo; it has been plead upon both sides, and waits the determination of the judge, which will be on Monday next, whether the consignees shall pay demurrage or not. I think there is no doubt of a favorable decision. At any rate, I will be obliged to return with the same cargo for New York, as the French government is determined to enforce the law."
FRENCH AMITY.
Schooner Monongahela Farmer, capt. Muller, From Trinidad—arrived at New-York, on Sunday last—"August 28, lat. 12, 20, lon. 62, 15, was brought to by a French privateer of two carriage guns and 25 men. While going under her lee, they inhumanly fired 3 guns and several volleys of small arms, some of which struck the vessel; treated us with the most abominable language, swearing we should pay double for the shot they fired, their only plea for plundering the vessel—on the captain going on board with the papers, he was confined below by a guard fixed at the companion; the boat returned with 8 armed ruffians, who immediately began plundering; they broke open a hold, of sugar, and took about 400 lb. all the cabin stores, several pieces of linen, & 23 dolls, from the capt. It would be too tedious to enter into a minute description of this sanguinary banditti; suffice it to say, that after pilfering what came in their way, they returned on board the privateer, released the captain, and suffered us to proceed. August 30, was brought to by a French privateer of four guns and 40 men—they put out boat and came on board; treated us with very abusive language, and on their leaving the vessel, had the niggardliness to plunder the cook—After detaining us one hour, permitted us to proceed."
Boston, Oct. 3.
Further from Europe.
Yesterday arrived at this port the regular trading ship Galen, capt. Robert Hinckley. She left London the 25th Aug. and the lands End 2d Sept. The papers received by this arrival are to the 25th Aug. which is one day later than those received by the Calisto; but they contain no additional intelligence of any moment.
London Prices current to the 23d, & Lloyds lists to the 25th Aug. are also received by this arrival.
Passengers in the Galen—Sam. Cabot, Esq. Richard Peters, Esq. of Philadelphia, Dr. Nathan Chapman, of Virginia, Thomas Elwyn, Esq. of Portsmouth, N. H. Mr. Wm. Elwyn, of London, Lt. Edward Wyer, and Mr. John P. Parker, of this place.
London, August. 25.
A Dutch and Hamburg mail arrived yesterday without bringing any very important intelligence. Indeed the German papers are more than usually deficient in the reports of negotiations in the Cabinet, or movements among the forces of any of the Northern powers. Nothing at all is said of the Russian fleet, or of any intention of its leaving the Baltic. Indeed we have uniformly thought that the speculations in this country respecting the aid of Russia against France, was over sanguine.
The report of the royal standard being about to be raised in the western departments of France, under the French princes, or their officers, gains ground. It is said, that Pichegru, as well as Dumourier, has been consulted by the Princes of France.
It was mentioned yesterday, that the French troops in garrison at Dunkirk & Boulogne, and other parts in the North, have shown symptoms of aversion to Bonaparte's government.
A Kingston (Jam.) paper, of the 17th ult.—says "Thursday evening arrived at Port-Royal, the sloop Justice, captain Vincent, from Jamaica, with dispatches from the governor and admiral. The present rulers there, it appears, are anxious for a commercial intercourse with this Island; they have lowered the red republican colors, and hoisted a blue and red flag (horizontal) under which the Justice entered Port-Royal harbor. It is now filed, the independent government of St. Domingo."
LONDON, August 24.
A cabinet council was held yesterday upon the subject of some dispatches received from the continent the day before. The report in the political circles is, that the mediation offered by Russia has entirely failed. The final proposition made by his Imperial majesty was, that France should withdraw her troops from Holland and Hanover; that Malta should remain for ten years in our hands; and that it should then be delivered up to the order of St. John of Jerusalem, under a guarantee for its future independence. The proposition, it is said, was coolly received by both the belligerent powers. Since the failure of the negotiation, with a view to relieve the north of Germany from the distress its commerce sustains by the navigation of the Elbe and Weser being interrupted, the emperor of Russia has caused it to be signified to France, that unless the French troops be withdrawn from the rivers and from Hanover, his Imperial majesty will find himself under the necessity of adopting, in conjunction with the powers most immediately interested, compulsory measures to remove the grievance, and alleviate the distress so loudly complained of by their respective subjects.
While the chief consul may be meditating the overthrow of British sway in Ireland, a very serious plan is on foot here to destroy consular tyranny in France. A few days ago a council of seven of the French princes was held, at which Pichegru was present, together with Dumourier, who sometime ago reconciled himself to the king of France, and took the oath of allegiance to him. With a view to an expedition, Dumourier is certainly come to this country. The royal standard is to be erected in France, under those generals, who will be accompanied by some of the French princes. All the emigrants, who have, within these few years, returned to France, hate the consul, and his upstart pillaging brigades. It is well known that these emigrants possess a great influence over the minds of the people, all of whom affect to be sufferers by the revolution, fallen noblesse, ruined royals, &c.
There is undoubtedly a strong royalist party in France, which has lately manifested its disposition by acts that have alarmed the chief consul, and brought him back to Paris. General Donadieu was arrested in Holland as a partisan in this enterprise, to which we with the fullest success. Moreau too, it will be recollected, was some years ago accused of being engaged in a project to restore royalty, with general Pichegru.
PARIS, August 17, 1803.
Yesterday the Chief Consul gave an audience to the Grand Bodies of the state. Citizen Roëtté, President of the Tribune, in offering his congratulations on the return of the First Consul at Paris, said "Yes, the whole nation, Citizen Consul, requests you to hasten the moment when the violators of treaties shall learn, that courage never deliberates whether it shall fight on foot or on horseback, by land or by sea."
Aug. 25. The Patriotic Fund raising at Lloyd's Coffee House yesterday amounted to upwards of 155,000. sterling, including 20,000. 3 per cent. consols subscribed from the fund of the underwriters. The object of this fund is to reward those subjects of the United Empire who may suffer or signalize themselves in the present contest with the public enemy. The committee have already purchased 180,000. in the three per cents.
Yesterday, Letters of Marque and Reprisal were issued against the Ligurian and Italian Republics.

versus
Owen Roberts and wife, George N. Nyles and John Harper, and James Keith—Defendants.
THE bill states that on the 8th day of August 1801, the defendant, Owen Roberts, mortgaged to the complainant, certain property in the said bill mentioned to secure to the complainant the re-payment of a sum of money lent by him to the defendant; and that afterwards on the 1st day of June 1802, the defendant Roberts having contracted a debt with the defendants Harper and Lyles, who although they knew of the previous mortgage to the complainant, procured a deed of trust to be executed by the defendants Roberts and Wife for the property mortgaged to the complainant, to the defendant James Keith, to secure to the defendants Harper and Lyles their claim against the defendant Roberts. The object of the bill is to obtain a decree for the foreclosure of the mortgage and a sale of the property therein mentioned, or so much thereof as will satisfy to the complainant, the sum of money lent to the defendant Roberts, with all interest that has or shall accrue thereon. It is on the complainants motion ordered that he procure a copy of this order to be inserted once in each of three successive weeks before the fourth Monday in December next in the National Intelligencer and Washington Federalist, to the intent that the defendants may have notice of his application, and of the nature of his bill, and that they may be warred to appear here in person or by solicitor, on or before the said fourth Monday in December next, to show cause if any they can, why the decree should not pass as prayed for in the said bill.

A very likely negro man named SAM, who calls himself Samuel Conner—about 24 or 25 years old, of a yellow complexion, low but stout made; one of his upper front teeth out, his dress chiefly of Virginia cloth with a plain darks shirt coat—he is very sensible, can read and write so as to be understood. The said Sam was taken up with a negro belonging to Mr. Janney, in Cumberland county, near Centreville, about 20 miles above Frederickburg, and made his escape from the man. Sam had no wife or children for both of them, and as the negro that was brought home said they were aiming for George Town, from thence to Pennsylvania; he fears at the ship way and is a very good house servant—he will endeavor to pass for a freeman—he is guilty of forgery—he signed the name John Goodah, Hallelujah. I do desire all persons to endeavor to apprehend the said negro, as he may be very injurious to the country if not taken and punished for his behavior. All reasonable expenses paid for delivering him to me at home, or the above reward for confining him in jail so that I get him again. EDWARD COX. September 23.

ORDINANCE. Of his Danish Majesty, defining what is to be observed by foreign vessels in regard to quarantine regulations. HIS Majesty the King most graciously ordered by his mandate of the 18th of October last, that whenever any accounts are received of the existence of the yellow fever in the United States of America, or when no particular advice is received to the contrary from the minister resident there, all American vessels which are not provided with health certificates from the beginning of the month of July until the end of the year are to submit to certain quarantine regulations, and even if they are provided with such certificates, these vessels are still prohibited from communicating with the shore, before they have been visited by the appointed health physician, and if he has the least suspicion, then the vessel must be dealt with accordingly, in conformity to which, no American vessels during such a time shall be piloted, except having hoisted the green flag. Which gracious command is hereby published for the regulation of all concerned. Given at the Danish Royal Chancery, on the 7th of November, 1802. Extract of an ordinance concerning quarantine regulations, and rules, to be observed by navigators who touch at the ports or coasts of the Danish dominions, dated at Copenhagen, the 14th November, 1800. 1. Every vessel belonging to our dominions shall have a green flag on board, to be used as prescribed hereafter. 2. Whenever a vessel arrives from a place where there has been contagion, and in all other cases of suspicion, such as having been visited by any vessel from the Barbary coast, having bales of merchandise on board from suspected places, and having not undergone a quarantine since in any other place, or having had any virulent sickness on board during the voyage, then the green flag shall be hoisted at the head of the mainmast, before any communication is had with any person whatever from the shore, and before anything is off. 3. The commander of any vessel offending against these orders, shall pay a fine of 500 rix dollars, (400 dollars) if no dangerous consequences ensue from his misconduct; but if otherwise he shall be punished with 12 years labor in the fortification—and should any malicious intent be proved upon him, he shall labor in irons during his life. Any vessel having had communication with another vessel that is suspicious, shall be subject to the same regulations and restrictions. 4. Should such a vessel be under the necessity of immediate communication with the shore, she must hoist her own national colors from the foretop, or under the green flag if she has no other. 5. After hoisting the color on the fore top, the signal for a pilot, the pilot shall immediately go on board, but not leave the ship until the health physician has visited her—and for every day that the pilot is detained, he shall receive one rix dollar. 6. To prevent unnecessary delays to such vessels, as are arrived from places that might be suspected, (such as the Mediterranean or the West Indies) but still are secure and free from contagion, not having been at infectious places, nor having any infected merchandise on board, and not having had communication with any vessel which could be suspected, nor had any one sick or dead during the voyage, we do order that for such cases all pilot shall be provided with blanks as hereafter written, which the captain and mate of such vessel shall sign, viz. Under signed N. commander of the ship, N. arrived from N. and N. W. mate of the said vessel, declare to their certain knowledge that neither any of the ship's crew, or any other person, or any merchandise or thing of whatever kind on board, the said vessel is infected with contagion or dangerous disease, and the said vessel has not been visited by any vessel from the African coast or the Levant, and had none sick or sick with an infectious fever during the voyage, to help us God and his holy word; and if this deposition be found false, we subject ourselves to the laws of the land. 7. Blanks of this deposition will be printed in different languages, for the use of foreign vessels that may be subject to the quarantine regulations. As foreign vessels may not always be provided with a green flag, the pilots are bound to have one continually in readiness to be hoisted in aforementioned cases. If the green flag has been used longer than for one day, the pilot shall receive two rix dollars for the same, but the vessel may, then, keep it. 8. Any vessel sailing from the port of New York for his majesty's dominions from the 1st of July to the 1st of December, must be provided with (besides the usual bill of health) a certificate from the Danish vice-consul. Mr. Hammerkin resides at No. 78, Pearl Street where attendance will be given. New York, July 29. S. CLARK. HAS just opened in the City of Washington, an extensive assortment of shoes, viz.
