Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscriber, on Monday the 11th of this month, NEGRO JOHN,
who calls himself JOHN WHITE, but as he is an artful and intelligent fellow, may probably change his name, and attempt to pass for a freeman. John is about 35 years old, his complexion black, has a pleasant countenance, a high round forehead and about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, square and well set. He is a blacksmith by trade, and a tolerable good house carpenter, and will probably offer his services in one or the other of the above trades.
Had on, when he absconded, a black fur hat a good deal worn, a round jacket of striped country made cotton, osnaburgs shirt, and a pair of olive colored negro cotton trowsers, but, as he has a variety of clothing, will no doubt change his dress. He is given to drink and apt to get intoxicated.
The above reward and all reasonable charges will be paid for apprehending the said runaway and lodging him in any jail so that I get him again, if out of the state, or fifty miles from home—but if within the state or the above distance from home 20 dollars & all reasonable charges.

Valuable Seats for Iron Works.
THE subscriber offers for sale between Five and Six Thousand acres of Land bounded on one side by James River, including big and little Owen's Creek, and situated in Amherst county in the state of Virginia. This land is in the midst of a well and thick settled country, about 100 miles above the city of Richmond. There are not more than 30 acres of it cleared. The remainder is heavily timbered—consisting of large pines, white oaks, poplar, black walnut and chestnut. On Big Owens creek, and within 600 yards of James river, which is navigable for boats at all seasons of the year—there is an excellent site for any kind of water works. The stream is rapid and constant, and about three miles from the seat are, as it is believed inexhaustible banks of iron ore, which the subscriber has secured and which will be sold with the land. This ore has been tried and proved to be of a very superior kind. The land adjoining the seat is of excellent quality. Two hundred acres of timothy meadow might be made on the creek. The upland although hilly in places is well adapted to small grain, and a great proportion of it suitable to the raising of tobacco. Immediately around the site for water works are inexhaustible LIMESTONE Quarries, together with great quantities of the best building stone. In short there are many advantages combined to render this a most eligible spot for the erection of iron works, or any other kind of water works. It is deemed unnecessary to say more concerning this property than to request those who incline to purchase to view it. It will be shown by captain Henry Holloway in the neighborhood. The price will be moderate, terms of sale, which will be made very easy, will be made known on application to the proprietor residing in Georgetown district of Columbia.

LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
VIENNA, APRIL 11.
The court gazette of this day contains the following article respecting Turkey:
"Lieutenant general Mayendorf has appeared again before Ismail, after having received a numerous reinforcement of troops and artillery, and he keeps that place closely blockaded.—20 gun boats have entered the Danube, as well to prevent the Turks from passing along the left bank of that river, as to facilitate the conquest of the fortress. These gun boats will be followed by 60 others."
"The army under the orders of gen. Michelson has obtained several advantages over a numerous body of Turkish troops in the vicinity of Daya and Dorbath; it afterwards advanced. In Romania, discord has recommenced between the Pachas, Ayans and Nazirs, who have for a long time agreed very little among themselves."
VIENNA, APRIL 12.
The report which was spread, that the English squadron had repassed the strait of the Dardanelles, and was again in the sea of Marmora, appears entirely destitute of foundation. The last letters from that capital make no mention of it, they only mention the vigorous preparations which the Porte is making, in order to act upon the offensive against the army of Michelson.—Troops from Asia arrive in crowds at Constantinople, and are immediately sent to the army, of which the Grand Visir must have already taken the command. Every thing indicates that it will not be long before the opening of the campaign.
The garrison of Ismail is numerous, well provisioned, and disposed to defend itself to the last extremity. The Russians, to whom the possession of that place would be of the highest importance, appear desirous to press the siege of it, before the Turkish army can put itself in motion to relieve it.—They have given up every attack upon Giurgewo.
The shackles which the English impose on our commerce and the navigation of our vessels in the Adriatic;—having excited the attention of the government, it is asserted that on this subject very serious representations have been made to the British cabinet, and that several conferences which have lately taken place between the count de Stadion and Mr. Adair, the English ambassador, were concerning this subject.
FRANKFORT, APRIL 17.
If we may believe letters from Leipzig, the cabinet of Petersburg has at length determined to accept the mediation of Austria, which France & Prussia accepted two months since. The same letters assert that M. de Novosili has received at Memel, where he now is, instructions permitting him to renew the negotiations.
STUTGARD, APRIL 14.
Letters arriving at the same time from Austria, Saxony, and other parts of Germany, all assert that the emperor of Russia has at length determined to accept the mediation of Austria, already accepted by France and Prussia, for the purpose of re-establishing peace on the continent. They add that the journey of prince Lichtenstein into Poland, and that of gen. Clarke to the French head quarters, are relative to that object. Letters from Munich, especially, state that there they look upon peace as very probable; however, at present it appears difficult to be concluded before the opening of the campaign.
MALMOE, APRIL 8.
It is asserted that our court has concluded a particular arrangement with the French government, relative to Pomerania.
STUTGARD, APRIL 17.
For these several months past, an Austrian corps, composed of infantry, has been stationed in the environs of Schaedling, on the extreme western frontier of the Austrian states, and at some distance from the fortress of Brannau. It has just received orders to return to the interior of Austria, and it is believed that it will not be replaced. The court of Vienna will only leave on the confines of Bavaria, some detachments of cavalry necessary for the assistance of the custom house officers and police agents, in relation to strangers, and the seizure of prohibited merchandise.
The last courier from Vienna has brought us recent news from Constantinople. Such measures are taken in that capital, that they no longer fear the new appearance of the English fleet; even supposing that united with the Russians, they again come to force the passage of the Dardanelles. Besides the inhabitants of Constantinople, who are under arms, the garrison of that city contains 40,000 regular troops, among whom is a very great number of Janissaries ready to fight and destroy any
force that should dare to attempt a landing. They also continue to build strong batteries on the sea coast, where the city is surrounded with high walls and towers. The whole coast is strongly fortified. They are likewise constructing new furnaces for red hot balls.
BERLIN, APRIL 14.
In order to be nearer the fortresses of Graudentz and Dantzig, the siege of which is about to be carried on with new vigor, and for the purpose of protecting the corps who invest those places, the grand army has taken the following position:
The prince of Ponte Corvo occupies Braunsberg, Biebeng and Holland; his line of operations extends along the Passarge, to the mouth of that river. Marshal Soult is posted at Liebstadt & its vicinity, he guards also the Passarge. Marshal Ney occupies Gussstadt and the environs: his line of operations is the Alle; he has behind him the upper part of the Passarge.
Marshal Davoust's head quarters are at Deterswald, a large village situated on the Passarge; one of his divisions occupies the upper part of the Alle and the little town of Allenstein, which has been put in a state of defence—another division is posted at Hohenstein and in its vicinity. Marshal Massena is at Pultusk; his division has received considerable reinforcements, and is one of the most numerous.
Between the Marshals Massena and Davoust, is a corps of Polish cavalry, who have already proved on different occasions, that they have not degenerated from their ancestors. The besieging corps, around whom the grand army forms a semi-circle, is in a great measure composed of Polish, Badenese, Hessians, and other confederated troops. The grand depot of the army is at Thorn; the principal hospitals are at Gilsenburg, Malwa, &c. The Russians are at Ostelsbourg, Pastenheim, Mehlack, Koningsburg, &c.
MUNICH, APRIL 17.
Considerable advantages are reported to have been obtained by the Turks and Persians over the Russians. Gen. Michelson, it is said, has been driven from Wallachia by Mustapha Bayraktar, who has taken from him 12 pieces of cannon and has made 800 prisoners. On another side, the Turks have entered the Crimea, and the Persians are seizing the most important passages of the Caucasus.
NAPLES, APRIL 11.
The king has been informed officially it is said, that the Sublime Porte had acknowledged him as king of Naples, and had enjoined the Barbary powers to respect the Neapolitan subjects, and to restore all the slaves of this nation.
AUGSBURG, APRIL 16.
The English minister at Vienna, Mr. Adair, has received at last the dispatches expected so long from London, in answer to the complaints of the Austrian cabinet relative to the interruption of the commerce of Trieste. He has communicated them to the ministers, and it is said they contain in substance, That the court of St. James has no intention whatever to restrain the commerce of Trieste, nor of any of the other Austrian ports in the Adriatic Gulph; but that she could not consent to suffer Austrian vessels to enter the ports of Italy occupied by the French troops, and which are in a state of blockade by declaration of his Britannic majesty. This answer has been sent to the Emperor, but it is not known how it will be received by his majesty: for it appears contrary to declare at the same time that the commerce of Trieste shall be respected, and yet to interdict its vessels from entering the ports where they might traffic, since Malta, Palermo and Corfu are the only ones now along the European and Asiatic coasts which are not under French influence.
ANTWERP, APRIL 17.
The mayor of the city of Antwerp has just addressed the following proclamation to the inhabitants.
"Inhabitants of Antwerp,"
"His Imperial and Royal Majesty, whose views only tend to the welfare of his people, has thought proper in his high wisdom to place our city in a state of siege, and to name for governor his excellency the general of division Ferino, member of the Senate, and grand officer of the legion of honor. In his choice of a chief whose character answers to his elevation of rank, we ought to return thanks to his majesty for his constant and paternal solicitude.
"But, inhabitants of Antwerp, I ought to advise you that his excellency my lord governor, proposes to mollify, by his goodness, whatever may be rigorous in a state of siege. He has also manifested to us the firm resolution of displaying a just severity towards those, who, by their actions or discourses, may infringe the laws concern-
ing the safety of the state and city. I enjoin on you, then, the most perfect tranquility, submitting with confidence to the wise decrees of his imperial and royal majesty, and to the benevolent prudence of his worthy representative.
"At the Hotel of the Mayor of the City of Antwerp, the 14th April 1807."
"I. E. WERBROUCK."
APRIL 20.
They continue to work with the greatest activity to place our city on the most respectable footing of defence. A great number of workmen are employed at the works, and they will be further augmented. On the other hand our garrison, already very numerous, is reinforced daily by the troops which arrive, & many more are expected in succession.
PARIS, APRIL 19.
GRAND ARMY. SEVENTIETH BULETIN.
PINCKENSTEIN, APRIL 9.
A party of 400 Prussians, who had embarked at Koningsburg has debarked on the peninsula opposite Pilau, & advanced towards the village of Carlzburg. M. Mainguernand, aid-de-camp to Marshal Lefebvre, proceeded for that point with some men. He has so manœuvred as to carry off the 400 Prussians, amongst whom were 120 cavalry.
Several Russian regiments have entered the city of Dantzig by water. The garrison has made several sorties. The Polish legion of the North and Prince Michel Radzivil who commands it have distinguished themselves. They have made about forty of the Russians prisoners. The siege is continued with vigor. The artillery for it has begun to arrive.
There is nothing new at the different points of the army.
The Emperor is returned from an incursion he has made to Marienwerder, and to the rete de pont on the Vistula. He has reviewed the 12th regiment of light infantry, & the gendarmes d'ordonnance.
The ground, the lakes, of which the country is full, and the small rivers, have begun to thaw. There is not, however, the smallest appearance of vegetation.
PARIS, APRIL 18.
Official News from Constantinople.
All the notes presented, as well by the ambassador Arundel, as by the vice admiral, whilst the enemy's fleet was before Constantinople, tend to show the eminent check the English have received, and confirm the opinion we had of the good conduct of the Porte, and of the Musselman people.
Vice-Admiral Duckworth had begun by burning a ship and five frigates, and by massacring the crews which were on board. He arrives before Constantinople, and the first arms which he used were menaces of every kind. But when he had begun to comprehend that they did not frighten the Porte, he changed his tone, desisting from a part of his pretensions, and finished by considering himself too happy in being able to pass the Straits.
The conduct of the Porte has been energetic and prudent. Scarce awakened from the astonishment which an attack so abrupt as unexpected was calculated to inspire, she armed all the shores, and as soon as the Seraglio and the coasts of Europe and Asia were sufficiently garnished with cannon, she reinforced all the batteries of the Straits. When she thought these measures were sufficient for her defence, she assumed the tone that became her great power—she menaced in her turn, and the English fleet gained the passage of the Dardanelles, and fled shamefully.
HAMBURG, APRIL 8.
The subsidies from England, destined for Russia, and detained in Sweden, amount to 77,000. M. D. Aloequa has protested against this attachment, but M. D'Erenchward replied that his Majesty the king of Sweden, referred to himself to treat on this affair direct with his Majesty the Emperor of Russia.
APRIL 16.
The blockade of the Peene extends to the mouth of the Oder.
CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 6.
A circumstance very advantageous for the Porte, is the declaration which the Austrian minister has just made, importing that his court is finally resolved to observe the strictest neutrality in the war which has just broken out between the Ottoman Porte and Russia. This note is expressed in the most ob-

Fighting terms; it is there said that Austria will never consent that any power whatever should aggrandize itself at the expense of the Porte, and arbitrarily appropriate to itself provinces under her dominion. General Sebastiani, Ambassador in France, has also notified the Turkish minister, that the court of Vienna had consented that the French army of Italy should pass through the Austrian Frioul on their way to Bosnia.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 11.
The English fleet has repassed the Dardanelles, and on the 7th March was again off Tenedos, in the Archipelago. It was on the 2d March, that the English repassed the Dardanelles into the Mediterranean. They were fired upon by the Turkish batteries on the Asiatic side, and received great damage in their masts, hulls, &c. but they were but an hour and a quarter in passing. Two English corvettes being shot between wind and water, were run on shore and wrecked. It is supposed the English fleet has gone to Malta, to repair their damages. The Turkish fleet has followed the English to near Gallipoli. The Dardanelles are now fortifying so strongly, that no fleet will hereafter be able to pass with impunity.
When the English fleet (Feb. 26, 1807) appeared off this city, every thing was defenceless; but in five days, owing to the activity of the French officers, 500 cannon, and 100 mortars were mounted. In the mean time the English minister was amused with a negotiation—He made the following proposal:—[These proposals have before been published.]—They were rejected—and I formed that the Sultan would not negotiate while the English fleet was on this side the Dardanelles. On the 26th Admiral Duckworth sent a note on the subject of the negotiations; but the Grand Sultan was inflexible; and on the 2d March, assured Sebastiani, that he should stand by his engagements with the emperor Bonaparte; and that he might depend upon him as truly as he depended on the emperor. The English fleet then withdrew; and anchored two leagues beyond the old castle of Asia. Immediately ten Turkish ships of the line were equipped; and advanced to the Dardanelles. The Porte has accepted the offer of an army from the emperor Napoleon.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 14
It is calculated that besides the English goods confiscated in this capital, whose value is estimated at nearly 50 millions, that goods to at least an equal amount will be found in the cities of Smyrna and Salonica, which are also about to be requisitioned. To that immediate loss of upwards of 100 millions, which the English commerce has experienced, may be added that which will result therefrom, and to the English manufactures the exclusion of the vessels of that nation from all the ports of Turkey.
OPERATIONS OF THE TURKISH ARMY.
Extract of a letter from M. Lamarre, to his excellency the minister of foreign affairs:
Rutschuk, Feb. 23, 1807.
The Turks have obtained advantages in several affairs with the Russians.
On the 31 of January, Pechwan Aga Ayan, of Silistria, attacked the Russians near Galata, killed 500, and made 200 prisoners, who were sent to Mustapha Pacha, with some sacks of heads and ears.
On the 23d of the same month, 1500 men Russians and Wallachians, advanced from Bucharest to Zimizza, a Wallachian village, opposite to Sistow. The Turks killed or took upwards of 200 of them: the rest were put to flight.
A more important affair took place on the 29th, near Ismailoff, under Pechwan Aga. The Russians lost 800 men killed, 300 prisoners, three pieces of cannon, and some colors. Pechwan Aga commanded 15,000 excellent cavalry, and half of it composed of resolute Tartars.
On the 9th of February, a partial affair occurred near the village of Patray, some leagues beyond Bucharest. The Russians had 500 killed, 600 made prisoners, lost one piece of cannon and 800 horse.
The army of Mustapha Pacha is 60,000 strong. He never pardons any Russians among the Russians, but he is kind to his prisoners.
It appears certain that discord prevails at Bucharest between Ypsilanti, Michelson, and the Boyards. The Russians have almost all left the place. It is supposed they intend to repass the Dniester. Their numbers do not exceed 15,000.
Prince Suzzo, who has been here some days, has sent his spatar to Craiova, in Little Wallachia, to collect the faithful Boyards, and arm the inhabitants. It is clear, that a single Boyard will not remain with Ypsilanti.
I am, yours,
LAMARRE.
Extract of a letter from Gustavus Coigny, to his excellency the minister of foreign affairs:
Ratschuk, March 1.
I sent to Mustapha Pacha, by a general Sebastiani, to inform of the movements of the Turkish army; and afterwards to give your excellency an account of the same. I have the honor of addressing to you the following details:
Since the Russians have seized on Bucharest, they have had several engagements with the Turkish troops, in which the latter have constantly had
the advantage; so that out of 15,000 Russians that passed the Dniester, not more than 10,000 remain. They are now intrenching themselves at Bucharest; they are in despair, and have already demanded a truce of Mustapha, which has been refused them.
The Turks, on the other hand, are encouraged by reiterated successes. About five days ago, a trifling affair occurred, 12 miles from Ismail. There the Russians lost 1,800 men, and six pieces of cannon, with their caissons.
GUSTAVUS COIGNY.
Extract of a letter from M. Meriage, adjutant commandant to the minister for foreign affairs:
Waddin, March 5.
The uncle of prince Suzzo has arrived at Craiova, as Caimacan, or governor of Little Wallachia. Moula Aga, nominated to succeed Paswan Oglou, is organizing his troops. His advanced guard already occupies Little Wallachia. Mustapha will put himself in motion on the 20th, to march against Bucharest. All the right bank of the Danube is occupied by the Seraskier, the troops of the Ayan of Silistria, and those of Ismailoff. It is very certain that in five or six affairs with the advanced posts, the Turks have constantly had the advantage over the Russians; and I can assure you, that without very considerable means, the latter will not be able to maintain themselves upon their frontier. The Turks here assure me, that a considerable army, commanded by Jussuf Pacha, has entered the Crimea seconded by a division of Persians in Georgia.
(Signed,) MERIAGE.
Aleppo, Jan. 1.
The Persians make a common cause with the Turks, and attack, at once the Russians and English. All the English factories have been seized, and the correspondence from England with the East Indies by the way of Persia, must at this moment be stopped.
FRANKFORT, April 16.
By positive advices fresh from Semlin, we are informed that a division of the Ottoman Army, which collected in the neighborhood of Adrianople, had put itself in march for Bulgaria. Letters from Waddin mention the advanced guard of that division as having already arrived there; it is to be followed by the remainder of the army, which after the junction of the corps commanded by the Pacha of Rutschuk and Waddin will form an army of 200,000 men.
These collected forces will take a position upon the Danube from Tekla to Fiki-Kilia and Kigirli, to prevent the Russians from crossing that river. The Servian Synod having refused to furnish the Porte with a corps of auxiliary troops, the Servian Province will in consequence, it is said, be soon occupied anew, by the Turks. A body of the Ottoman troops, whose advanced guard is commanded by the famous Kusanzi, and is already marching towards Moravia. Upon the intimation of that movement, all the Servian troops, which at the present consist of 44 buluks (battalions) of infantry and 23 squadrons of cavalry, have been summoned: one part of which took the direction of Moravia and the other that of Novibassar and Usczitza.
LONDON, April 27.
Saturday's Gazette announces the appointment of sir Arthur Paget to be our ambassador to the Sublime Porte. Would that appointment have taken place had not ministers had reason to believe that the differences with the Porte had been adjusted.
LONDON, April 28.
The king of Prussia, with a spirit which rises superior to adversity, has published his fixed resolution, to take no pacific step without the consent of Great Britain and Russia.
The duke of Richmond was on Monday last inaugurated in great style at Dublin castle, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. On the next day the duke of Bedford left Dublin.
LONDON, April 29.
The following interesting correspondence has been sent to us for insertion:
(COPY)
Mr. Secretary Canning presents his compliments to Mr. Monroe, and in answer to his letter of the 2d inst. has the honor to transmit to him the copy of a letter from Mr. Marsden, by which he will perceive that the lords commissioners of the admiralty have disapproved of the conduct of the commanders of his majesty's ships Scorpius, and Bloodhound, in having warned the American ship in question from entering the port of Antwerp, as represented by Mr. Monroe.
Mr. Secretary Canning requests Mr. Monroe, to accept the assurances of his high consideration.
Foreign Office, April 20, 1807. The American ship H. Lena, capt. Smith, from Charleston for Antwerp.
Portland place, April 23, 1807.
Sir, "I have the honor to enclose a copy of Mr. Secretary Canning's note to me of the 20th inst. which as it contains a communication of considerable importance to the commerce of the U. S. I have to request that you will be so good as to make known to those who
are engaged. I have the honor to be, your most obedient servant, (Signed)
JAMES MONROE.

American Consulate and Agency, London, April 25.
All merchants and others interested in the commerce of the U. S. of America, will take notice of the foregoing communications, and govern themselves accordingly.
W. LYMAN.
LONDON, April 30.
The funds rose yesterday, and several causes were assigned for it—some supposed that admiral Duckworth had terminated successfully his negotiation with the Porte—we shall be happy to find that to be the case; but certainly no official advices have yet been received from the admiral. It was said by others, that letters from Holland had been received, stating that a general congress was to be held at Memel, for negotiating peace. A fourth class circulated a rumor, that either peace had been signed between Russia and France, or that an armistice had been agreed to. Russia has fought nobly and gallantly; but seeing the late ministers so indifferent to the state of the continent, so disposed to afford liberal succors of men or money, she may have evinced an inclination to listen to Bonaparte's proposals. The inactivity that has reigned in Poland for some time, the cessation of all military operations of any importance, make us fear that negotiations have been or are about to be commenced. We trust, however, that the news of the late change will reach Petersburg or Memel time enough to convince the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia that the new ministers are disposed to adopt towards the continent a very different system from that of their imbecile predecessors.
MAY 2.
The emperor Alexander and the grand duke Constantine joined the Russian army with a reinforcement of 30,000 guards early in the last month.
At a late hour last night Dutch papers, of the 27th ult. & the Hamburg, Correspondent of the 23d, reached town. We are sorry to find that the Swedish army has received a considerable check from the French under gen. Mortier. Encouraged by their recent success, the Swedes had perhaps advanced with too little caution: their line was very much extended, and unfortunately afforded Mortier an opportunity of putting in practice a manoeuvre which the French have almost constantly adopted with success.
The French general collected the whole of his force, even that part which was employed in the block of Colberg, and bro't it to bear upon the centre of the Swedish line, which was forced to give way, after a most gallant resistance. The wings of the Swedish army were afterwards forced to fall back with some loss. It is however to be recollected, that this is the French account of this affair, and therefore it is probable that their success is exaggerated.
The empress of Austria died in child-bed on the 13th ult. There are strong reports in circulation, that Austria is about to take a decided part against France, but we are far from giving them implicit credit. The rumours of a negotiation also still continue.
SWEDEN.
Anciam, April 18.
The triumph of the Swedes in Pomerania has been of very short duration. Marshal Mortier has attacked them.—The following is the report of his proceedings:
On the 16th of April, in the evening marshal Mortier collected a part of his force at Pasewalk. The Swedes had a very extensive line, viz. heads of columns at Falkenwalde, Stolzenburg, Stalforst, Belling, and Dargitz, viz. from the banks of the Oder to Mecklenburgh Strelitz. The marshal formed the resolution of attacking their centre, without paying any regard to the rest of their troops—convinced that if he could gain the river Peene, it would certainly occasion much loss and confusion among the enemy.
On the 17th, at day break, the marshal attacked and carried Belling. The French were compelled to traverse a country full of morasses. In vain did the Swedes attempt to defend the pass of the Langham. After an obstinate conflict, in which they displayed much courage, they were driven from one position to another as far as Alikosnow, where the French found them joined by the troops that had occupied Anciam.
The enemy made an obstinate resistance; but notwithstanding the effects he reckoned upon from ten pieces of cannon with which he fired upon the French, this position was also forcibly carried, and the enemy fell back to Anciam in confusion, without attempting to avail himself of the position in front of that town. The Swedes were followed sword in hand, cut down in the streets, and compelled to retreat over the Pommersuck, which bridge, for want of time, they were not able to destroy. The Swedes suffered considerably on this day, and, besides the killed and wounded, lost 2 pieces of cannon and 600 prisoners.
After this advantage gained over the enemy's centre, marshal Mortier advanced against the flank, which he had surrounded. A brigade detached towards Ueckermund, took 2 pieces of cannon and made 530 prisoners. Another column sent towards Dammin, took two light pieces and 100 prisoners.
Straggling Swedes are every moment brought into the French head quarters—they are ignorant of the country dialect, and knew not what to do with themselves. The Swedes are completely driven over the Peene, and the French are in possession of Demmin.
Notwithstanding, during the whole of the 16th, the weather was dreadful and there was a troublesome fall of hail and rain the French ran over a space of 18 miles, fighting all the way.
At Anciam they found several magazines of corn and meal, and several ovens in good condition.
The Swedes have 8 gun boats and several transports in the Haff. As the wind is contrary, and the people on board are without provisions, it is probable they must surrender.
COPENHAGEN, April 11.
On the 8th of this month, an English vessel of war arrived in this road from the North Sea. Yesterday, two other ships of war of the same nation also anchored here, all three sailed this morning for the Baltic. A Swedish ship of the line, and two other armed vessels of the same nation, having on board land forces from Lauscrunn, have also sailed since the 8th for the Baltic.
MALMOE, April 8.
The mouth of the Oder is going to be declared in a state of blockade.

MONDAY, JUNE 22.
An interesting proposition submitted to the State Legislatures.
The theory of our government confides to you all the powers not specially delegated to the general government. The latter is only charged with powers which regard our external relations, and with those internal regulations which are essential for the promotion of the general welfare. Every other power is devolved on the state authorities.
It is apparent, from this view of the subject, that we are to look to the state governments for the formation of those plans which must in the highest degree promote the public welfare. All that we can expect from the federal government is that it affords an efficient protection against external violence or internal intrigue. The great and substantial benefits derivable from a wise system of legislation must necessarily be the result of state laws.
However, therefore, we may have been accustomed to consider the federal as superior to the state governments, it is only necessary for us dispassionately to reflect on the nature of the powers possessed by each, to be satisfied that it is from the latter we are to expect almost every positive benefit which a government can confer.
It is true that, heretofore, a different impression has, in no inconsiderable degree, existed, during a period in which too strong a disposition was manifested to consolidate, in violation of constitutional limits. None, all the great powers of government under a federal head. This disposition has now happily ceased to prevail, and there has sprung up, in its stead, a sober and honest desire to administer both governments in such a fair manner, as to enable each to move in its distinct and appropriate orbit.
At a period so auspicious to the prevalence of truth, it is highly important to awaken the public attention to the accomplishment of those great objects on which national prosperity most eminently depends. Of these there is no one so important as agriculture. Let a few men say what they will, we are an agricultural nation. It is on this foundation that our prosperity is built. It is to this that we are indebted for our wealth, for our comfort, for our personal independence, for our republican institutions; and it is on this foundation alone that these blessings can endure, and be extended to distant ages and unborn millions.
While we contemplate so much attention paid to the advancement and protection of commerce by the general government, does it not become the duty of the state governments, peculiarly charged with all powers relative to it, to pay some attention to the promotion of agriculture? This is the proposition, which I wish respectfully to submit to the state legislatures.
There is no diversity of opinion, in the closets of our statesmen, on this subject. All agree that agriculture ought to be promoted. The only difference of opinion that exists respects the means which shall be used.
Agriculture may be promoted in a thousand ways. Good roads may be made, rivers may be cleared, and canals may be cut. To our honor, it may be said, that these evidences of an enlightened and liberal policy, are already prosecuted with a laudable and increasing zeal. But of all the means for advancing agriculture, none are so important, none so easy of execution, as the diffusion of that mass of improvement, which notwithstanding it has within a few years accumulated to an astonishing size, extends every year with still greater rapidity.
The proudest prerogative of man, that which constitutes him the lord of creation, is the skill, the ingenuity, the wisdom with which he applies his own labor to advance his interests, and renders that of the beasts that toil for him subservient to the same end. With him knowledge is power, whether the theatre of its exertion be the earth on which he treads, or the planets that revolve over his head; whether he busies himself in the work shop, or guides the helm of state.
In no department of life is knowledge more important than in agricultural pursuits. Nature, always diversified, does not assume the same form, or acknowledge the same characteristics, in any two spots of earth. Climates and soils eternally vary; and each requires a distinct and appropriate treatment. What is life to one object will prove death to another; and the plant that delights in the one will perish in the other. How infinitely important then is it that the mind which directs the operations of this profession should be endowed, not only with a discriminating faculty, but should likewise be stored with that knowledge which can only be gathered from the experience of others. Without such knowledge it is destined to grope in the dark without a guide; it labors in vain: it exhausts its powers in fruitless exertion, and it too becomes the victim of chagrin and disappointment. While with such knowledge it adapts its means to the ends it has in view; success crowns its exertions; an abundant production rewards its toils, & it is thus enabled to tolerate happiness in its own breast and extend it to others.
Is knowledge on this interesting subject sufficiently diffused throughout the United States? Are our farmers acquainted with the numerous improvements made in the improvements of husbandry, and with the numerous various experiments tried in Europe with

regard to the best modes of cultivating the various products of the earth? There is no one will affirm that they are. It is a fact universally realised and deplored that although nature has done much, man has done little; and that the general agriculture of the country is nearly a century behind the improved agriculture of Europe. Shall we then continue in the trammels of old prejudices, while the other nations of the earth are throwing them off? While we boast, with undoubted truth, of more political illumination than any other nation, shall we suffer ourselves to merit the reproach of remaining inferior to them in the art which most conduces to the physical happiness of man? For one I say no.
This brings me to the point to which all my preceding remarks have been directed—viz. the means of improving the national agriculture.
This can only be accomplished on a large or general scale, by uniting into one common focus the experience of others. To collect knowledge so multifarious and extensive requires leisure, wealth and liberality, means which rarely unite in one individual, and never in so high a degree as to enable him to diffuse the materials he has collected extensively among his fellow-men. The work can only be that of a number. To accomplish it effectually will indeed require much more money than could be expected either from a single man, or any subordinate association of citizens. Hence it would seem to devolve on the state governments, as the only body capable of carrying it into effect.
Under this view of the subject, it is respectfully proposed that the legislature of each state cause to be established one or more institutions, specially charged with the promotion and diffusion of agricultural knowledge.
That such institution consist of a small body of men, who unite practical knowledge to extensive reading.
That they be paid a moderate compensation for their services; such a compensation as will enable them to devote the greater part of their time to the duties they are required to perform, without affording them the means of luxurious gratification.
That it shall be their duty to provide a spot of ground, for a botanical garden, and for making agricultural experiments on a liberal scale, with the superintendence of which one person shall be specially charged.
That it shall be the duty of each member of the board to try such experiments on his own ground as the board shall direct; and that it be the duty of all the members to keep a journal of all their experiments.
That it be their duty to collect all the useful tracts published in this country or abroad into a library open to the public.
That they shall have power to bestow premiums for superior cultivation, or for any important improvement or discovery in husbandry.
That they shall appoint a professor of agriculture, who shall annually deliver a course of lectures to whomsoever may attend them.
And that they shall publish in a cheap form and extensively circulate all such information as they may consider important.
It is altogether unnecessary to descend on the benefits of such institutions. It is not extravagant to say that they would add more to the wealth, and conduce more to the comfort of the people, and the embellishment of the country, than all the other measures of the government.
But it will be asked where shall the money required for this acknowledgedly great object be drawn? Other necessary objects absorb the whole revenues, and the people would not patiently endure the imposition of additional burdens.
I answer, that those who start this difficulty are unacquainted with the feelings of the people. There can be no doubt that the people would cheerfully submit to any taxes which should be laid for the attainment of such an object.
But no new tax need be laid. Let the exclusive right of LOTTERIES be applied for a number of years to these institutions. It will furnish an ample fund. Consequences in no light degree beneficial to the public will result from confining lotteries to one great object. Their excessive use will be diminished, and, by being placed under the care of respectable characters, for the promotion of objects of real utility, they will cease to be engines of fraud and instruments of folly.
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated June 16.
"Signals for three ships.—The U. States schooner Batterpriz , from the Mediterranean, with Consul Lear, on board, arrived in Hampton Roads on Monday last. The United States frigate Chesapeake , was to sail for the Mediterranean on Sunday last."
CAPTURE OF ALEXANDRIA. Captain Peterson arrived here on Saturday last from Sardinia, was boarded a few leagues from Gibraltar, by an English armed brig, having on board dispatches from Sicily for the British government. The officer who came on board Captain Peterson, informed that these dispatches contained an official account of the capture of Alexandria, by Sir Sidney Smith, who had been joined in the expedition by a large body of Arabs. Two French frigates and a corvette were also captured near the place, by the squadron, attached to the command of this gallant officer.
Boston, June 12. We have accounts from Malaga to the 17th April, which state, on the authority of Mr. Kirkpatrick, the Ame-
rican consul there, that official accounts had been received there, that after the English fleet had left the sea of Mar-mora, as stated in the last French accounts, an engagement had taken place between the English fleet under Admiral Duckworth, and the Turkish fleet of ten sail of the line, which had been sent in quest of the English—that the battle was severe and destructive—that the English were victorious—and that the consequence was, the peace which had been broken off, had been renewed; and tranquillity restored between the Ottoman Porte, Russia and England. It is added, that in the battle the English had a great number killed and wounded; and that one of the largest ships of war blew up.
NASSAU, (N. P.) JUNE 1. By a late arrival at this port from Port Pairs, (St. Domingo) we learn that the town had been set fire to on the 16th ult. and at the time this vessel was there, on the 21st, it was then burning and nearly reduced to ashes, with the exception of the church and hospital, which had escaped the ravages of the flames. The town was totally deserted, and the only information that could be obtained was from three negroes, who on discovering the vessel, had come from the mountains; they were totally ignorant as to the cause of the town being burned, and stated that gen. Christophe was there on the day, or the day previous, to the conflagration, and had suddenly quitted the place.
The Paris Argus of the 23d April, in announcing the receipt of information of the rejection of the British treaty by the American administration, observes that this act is an evidence that the Americans are becoming more and more jealous of their maritime independence. It proceeds thus:—"The French Imperial Decree which orders the confiscation of all English merchandise found in ports occupied by the French armies, had excited apprehensions that some American property might be involved in it, but the explanations since given, have fully satisfied the merchants of the United States. All news coming from the continent of Europe, is greatly caught up here. From this eagerness it may be seen that the nations apparently the greatest strangers to this war, have a real interest in the success of the cause of the French, and the Americans above all have already to congratulate themselves that the greatness of the efforts which the English government is obliged to make against France, obliges it to relax from the tyranny which it exercised over their trade."
BOSTON.
To the President and Members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
GENTLEMEN, As that season of the year is approaching, in which a general apprehension of danger from lightning is most excited, a few remarks on the various means of seeking safety, may call attention to facts, from which may be deduced some useful rules of conduct during thunder.
That the metallic conductor is not a complete guard from the electric fluid, is testified by two instances on the records of the academy; but, granting it to be productive of perfect security, its benefits can be enjoyed by the minor part of society only, whose pecuniary means will afford the expence.—In these brief remarks the electric rod will therefore be overlooked, for noticing such particulars as may lead to rational measures, within the power of all who choose to adopt them.
From early life I have been in the habit of observing the circumstances attending an electric explosion, particularly where the loss of life was a consequence, and no instance has fallen within my knowledge of a person being killed by lightning in a close room.—Whether it be a fact that such an occurrence never takes place, I am not prepared to decide; but if, upon extensive enquiry, none such shall be found, it may be inferred that a close room presents one of the greatest chances of security. On this subject I have found the general opinion to be divided—advocates appearing as numerous for an open as for a close room during a thunder gust.
In cases not admitting of mathematical demonstration, theories are often erected on vague conjectures and unaccountable prejudices; but it is the dictate of reason that opinions thus founded should submit before the influence of facts.—I would therefore offer for the consideration of the academy, the following information:—
1st. That a committee be appointed for the purpose of collecting information respecting lives which have been lost by lightning in this or any other country, and of the attendant circumstances in each case, as they relate to the situation of the person or persons at the time, whether sheltered or exposed; also, whether evidence of any instance can be produced of the loss of life by lightning, in a room, of which the doors, windows, and fire place were closed at the time.
2d. That a be a committee for the above purpose, who are instructed to solicit intelligence of the nature before described, by public request in the newspapers, and that they report, from time to time, at the meetings of the academy, as the required intelligence may be obtained.
Respectfully admired, By BENJ. DEARBORN. Boston, 26th May, 1807.
At a meeting of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences—May 26th, 1807.
Read and committed to Benjamin Dearborn, Esq. Rev. Dr. Lathrop and Rev. Dr. Emes.
JOHN DAVIS, Sec'y.
In pursuance of the foregoing vote, the committee therein named, solicit communications, addressed to any one of them upon the subject of their appointment—and as the collection and comparison of facts may produce a result valuable to society, the committee rely on the readiness with which gentlemen will communicate, who possess the information required.
NORTH CAROLINA.
We have received the following description, from a friend in Person county, of the dreadful hail storm of Friday the 15th ult. from which it appears, if possible, to have been more violent in that quarter than in this neighborhood:
"The day appeared unusually sultry—sometimes cloudy. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a very angry sky appeared in the South, which was presently followed by a tremendous wind and rain, which lasted but a short time, when a still more angry and terrible cloud arose in the North, and from which fell hail stones, in such numbers and so large, that they levelled every thing with the earth. In a few moments the ground was covered with hail stones of different sizes; some as large as hen's eggs, others larger, and some even as large as a goose egg.—You may have a just conception of their size, when I inform you that some were in circumference 8 inches. There was a race on the same day in this neighborhood, at which there was a considerable collection of people, who had not entirely dispersed before the storm came on. There being but one old log house on the race ground, they all sought shelter in that, which being badly covered, did not prevent them from being pelted and much bruised by the hail stones. One man in particular left the house in pursuit of his horse that had broke his bridle, from the severity of the hail, and being so entirely exposed to the storm, you may well imagine, from the size of the hail stones, what was his fate. He was in a moment prostrate on the ground, and as fast as he rose, the hail beat him down again. After great exertion, and receiving considerable damage to his person, he at length reached the house.—Every horse on the ground broke his bridle, and ran to and fro in wild confusion. Even the horses were much injured, and all kinds of small stock were killed, such as pigs, lambs, &c. The hail stones broke all the window glass on the north side of the houses—even many of the window sashes were destroyed. Trees of every kind are stripped of their leaves, and very much barked. This storm not only destroyed our orchards, but the mast, of which there was an abundance. I do not know how far it extended north or south; but as far as I have heard either way, it was fatal—the devastation was about four miles in width, within the limits of which, wheat, oats and all kinds of vegetation, are destroyed. The woods now look dreadfully. The green leaves just dying, create a most unpleasant scent, and have the appearance of growth just dying. To the industrious farmer, it is a lamentable circumstance to see in a moment, his first and best wishes blasted, and his labor destroyed. I never witnessed so desperate a storm. It is, however, well for us that it happened so soon, for if the season had been farther advanced, our corn would have been sacrificed also. This is Wednesday (20th) and some of the hail is yet to be found in bottoms sheltered by north hill sides. The storm lasted about a quarter of an hour, in which short period, the whole face of nature, in this vicinity, was changed, and its fruits destroyed!"

MONDAY, JUNE 22.
Burr's Trial. —The papers of Richmond are almost exclusively occupied with the extraordinary proceedings in this case. It seems impossible for the prosecution to take a single step, however plain and undisputed in ordinary cases, without producing a solemn argument of days continuance, frequently followed by a long and elaborate decision from the bench; and this too upon preliminary points.
On Saturday, the 13th inst. the Chief Justice delivered the opinion of the court on the motion to issue a subpoena duces tecum , directed to the P. U. S. The motion was allowed.
The Chief Justice stated his having drawn up a supplemental charge, which had been submitted to the counsel, with the view of having an argument on any disputed point, previous to its delivery, which was, after a desultory conversation, postponed till Monday.
Thomas Truxton, William Eaton, Benjamin St. Leger, and Stephen Decatur were sworn and conducted to the grand jury.
Erick Bollman was then called and appeared. Before he was sworn Mr. Hay informed the court that he had made a full communication to the government of the plans, the designs, and views of A. Burr. As these communications might criminate Dr. B. before the grand jury, the President had communicated his pardon—which Mr. Hay here offered to Dr. B. and which the latter refused accepting.
The counsel for Burr contended that this did not amount to a pardon, and that consequently Bollman could not be called upon to answer questions which might criminate himself. This point was contested by the opposite counsel. Dr. Bollman was sent to the grand jury without any special intimation; the point under discussion being referred for future consideration.
William Duane, Peter Taylor, Albrecht, and Jacob Dunbar were sworn and sent to the grand jury.
On Monday gen. Wilkinson was sworn and conducted to the grand jury. A long argument was had on a motion made by the counsel of Mr. Burr, to instruct the grand jury not to receive written papers as testimony. The decision of the court is not given. Mr. Hay proposed sending to the grand jury the letter partly in cypher and partly in German, addressed to some person in New Orleans, and said Mr. Wyllie could prove its identity, and Dr. B. interpret it. This was strenuously opposed by Mr. Burr's counsel. Mr. Wyllie was called into court, and interrogated as to his knowledge of this letter. These questions by the advice of his counsel, he declined answering, under the allegation that the answers would criminate himself as much as Mr. Burr. Here a long argument ensued on compelling Mr. Wyllie to answer the proposed questions, which was not finished this day.
On Tuesday Mr. Hay produced a letter to him from the President of the U. S. stating that the letter of general Wilkinson of the 21st Oct. had been placed in the hands of the attorney general when he went to Richmond in March, and that it was either in his hands, or in those of Mr. Hay; and giving permission to Mr. Hay to disclose its contents, under the exercise of a discretion to withhold any parts not material for the purposes of justice.—As to the orders issued by the war and navy departments, the President observes that they were a correspondence of many months with a variety of officers, asks for a specification of the papers required, and states that the secretary of war had been desired to search his official papers, and that whatever should be found that was deemed material should be communicated.
The rest of the day was occupied on the question relative to Mr. Wyllie without bringing the argument to a close.
The Virginia Gazette brings down the proceedings of the court three days later, which embrace a great variety of miscellaneous matter not susceptible of abridgment. The only important decision made by the court relates to the testimony of Mr. Wyllie, which was admitted by the court. Mr. Wyllie said he did not understand the part of the letter in cypher, but that it was written by col. Burr.
The [Baltimore] American gives various details from the Journal du Commerce to the 9th of May inclusive, containing Paris dates to the 8th of that month. The Turks are represented as being in high spirits at their success. On the 6th of April gen. Sebastiani was making the most vigorous preparations at Constantinople. The contents of the 72d bulletin are given, which relate principally to the armistice between the French and Swedes, and is dated Finckenstein, April 23. By this armistice the Swedes promise to give to the French the isles of Ure now & Wollin.
The Editor of the National Intelligencer, having, from a regard to his health, determined to exchange his present profession for one less laborious, offers to dispose of his establishment, consisting of the National Intelligencer, printed three times a week, and the Universal Gazette, printed weekly. This disposition will only be made to a person of sound republican principles. It is desirable that the terms should be arranged by personal communication with the Editor.
The Editors of Republican prints throughout the union will confer a favor by inserting this announcement a few times in their papers.

The Subscriber offers for sale 780 acres of land on Bullkin run in Jefferson county Virginia about 10 miles from Harper's Ferry, and a miles from the Shenandoah river. 400 acres of this land is cleared, the rest in woods, on it there is a valuable Mill seat with 22 feet fall, the stream affording a sufficiency of water to turn two pair of stones, 25 acres of watered meadow which produces abundant crops of Hay, and as much more may be made at a trifling expense—the cleared land may be laid off into fields of 50 acres and each field have running water in it; there is generally sown on this farm 120 acres in wheat, which has not for some years past, produced less than 2500 bushels per annum—the improvements are a Stone Dwelling House and kitchen, a Stone Dairy with a large never failing spring near the dwelling, a barn with stables under it for 30 horses, an apple orchard of 200 acres of choice fruit, and a variety of other fruit trees; on another part of this farm, there is a small frame Dwelling House, Kitchen and Dairy, a Smoke house, Barn and Stables—this property will be shewn and the terms made known on application to the subscriber on the premises.
JOHN GANTT, Sen. April 29—en2m
Ran away from the Subscriber living near the Eastern Branch bridge, a negro woman of about 34 years of age of a middle stature, rather thicker than common, somewhat pitted with the small pox about the nose; she has had liberty at different times to choose a master; she has left a sucking child, and I believe has contracted an acquaintance with a certain Cato Day, a black man who has worked some years past in the Navy Yard in the city of Washington. I have reason to believe she is either harbored or concealed or rather conveyed from this place under him; she has a change of clothing, therefore cannot be well described by her dress.
Whoever takes up the said negro and secures her so as I get her again shall have TEN DOLLARS reward and all reasonable expenses if brought home.
JOHN MASTER. June 5—tf
It is more than probable she takes her route towards Baltimore. All persons are warned against harboring or concealing her at their peril. J. M.
