Among the recent productions of the press, few are more amusing than the Memoirs of Gibbon , written by himself, followed by a miscellaneous selection of letters and minor pieces published by Lord Sheffield since his death. The distinguished historian of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire will long live in the gratitude of those who have been instructed and delighted by his learning and eloquence. The private occupations of such a man, his opinions of men and things, the portion of happiness he enjoyed, must all be objects of high literary curiosity. In ranging over the wide field of seven octavo volumes, compiled by the diligence of Sheffield, they will, like the discriminating bee, exercise the prerogative of neglecting many a weed, but they will likewise be regaled by the nectar of many a delicious flower. For the entertainment of our readers we shall offer them a few extracts, which will quicken their curiosity to read the whole of the memoirs, which could be comprised in a moderate duodecimo, and is well worthy of a republication in this country.
EXTRACTS.
"The death of a new born child before that of its parents may seem an unnatural, but it is strictly a probable event; since of any given number the greater part are extinguished before their ninth year, before they possess the faculties of the mind or body. Without accusing the profane waste or imperfect workmanship of nature, I shall only observe, that this unfavorable change was multiplied against my infant existence. So feeble was my constitution, so precarious my life, that, in the baptism of each of my brothers, my father's prudence successively repeated my christian name of Edward, that, in case of the departure of the eldest son, this patronymic appellation might be still perpetuated in the family.
" Uno autulo non deficit alter. " To preserve and to rear so frail a being, the most tender assiduity was scarcely sufficient; and my mother's attention was somewhat diverted by her frequent pregnancies, by an exclusive passion for her husband, and by the dissipation of the world, in which his taste and authority obliged her to mingle. But the maternal office was supplied by my aunt, Mrs. Catharine Portea; at whose name I feel a tear of gratitude trickling down my cheek. A life of celibacy transferred her vacant affection to her sister's first child: my weakness excited her pity; her attachment was fortified by labor and success: and if there be any, as I trust there are some, who rejoice that I live, to that dear and excellent woman they must hold themselves indebted. Many anxious and contrary days did she consume in the patient trial of every mode of relief and amusement. Many wakeful nights did she sit by my bedside in trembling expectation that each hour would be my last. Of the various and frequent disorders of my childhood my own recollection is dark; nor do I wish to expatiate on so distressing a topic. Suffice it to say, that while every practitioner, from Sloane and Ward to the Chevalier Taylor, was successively summoned to torture or relieve me, the care of my mind was too frequently neglected for that of my health; compassion always suggested an excuse for the indulgence of the master, or the idleness of the pupil; and the chain of my education was broken, as often as I was recalled from the school of learning to the bed of sickness."
"My first introduction to the historical scenes, which have since engaged so many years of my life, must be ascribed to an accident. In the summer of 1751, I accompanied my father on
a visit to Mr. Hoare's, in Wiltshire; but I was less delighted with the beauties of Stourhead, than with discovering in the library a common book, the Continuation of Echard's Roman history , which is indeed executed with more skill and taste than the previous work. To me the reigns of the successors of Constantine was absolutely new; and I was immersed in the passage of the Goths over the Danube, when the summons of the dinner bell reluctantly dragged me from my intellectual feast. This transient glance served rather to irritate than to appease my curiosity; and as soon as I returned to Bath, I procured the second and third volumes of Howel's History of the World , which exhibit the Byzantine period on a larger scale. Mahomet and his Saracens soon fixed my attention; and some instinct of criticism directed me to the genuine sources. Simon Oakley , an original in every sense, first opened my eyes; and I was led from one book to another, till I had ranged round the circle of Oriental history. Before I was sixteen, I had exhausted all that could be learned in English of the Arabs and Persians, the Tartars and Turks; and the same ardor urged me to guess the French of D'Herbelot, and to construe the barbarous Latin of Pocock's Abulfarajus . Such vague and multifarious reading could not teach me to think, to write, or to act; and the only principle that darted a ray of light into the indigested chaos, was an early and rational application to the order of time and place. The maps of Cellarius and Wells imprinted in my mind the picture of ancient geography; from Sirachius I imbibed the elements of Chronology: the tables of Helvetius and Anderson, the Annals of Usher and Predieux , distinguished the connection of events, and engraved the multitude of names and dates in a clear and indelible series. But in the discussion of the first ages I overleaped the bounds of modesty and use. In my childish balance I presumed to weigh the systems of Scaliger and Petavius, of Marsham and Newton, which I could seldom study in the originals; and my sleep has been disturbed by the difficulty of reconciling the Septuagint with the Hebrew computation. I arrived at Oxford with a stock of erudition, that might have puzzled a doctor, and a degree of ignorance, of which a schoolboy would have been ashamed."
Speaking of the University of Oxford, Mr. Gibbon observes—
"It might at least be expected, that an ecclesiastical school should at least inculcate the orthodox principles of religion. But our venerable mother had contrived to unite the opposite extremes of bigotry and indifference: a heretic, or unbeliever, was a monster in her eyes; but she was always, or often, or sometimes, remiss in the spiritual education of her own children. According to the statutes of the university, every student, before he is matriculated, must subscribe his assent to the thirty-nine articles of the church of England, which are signed by more than read, and read by more than believe them. My insufficient age excused me, however, from the immediate performance of this legal ceremony; and the vice-chancellor directed me to return as soon as I should have accomplished my fifteenth year; recommending me, in the mean while, to the instruction of my college. My college forgot to instruct: I forgot to return, and was myself forgotten by the first magistrate of the university. Without a single lecture, either public or private, either christian or protestant, without any academical subscription, without any episcopal confirmation, I was left by the dim light of my catechism to grope my way to the chapel and communion table, where I was admitted, without a question, how far, or by what means, I might be qualified to receive the sacrament. Such almost incredible neglect was productive of the worst mischiefs. From my childhood I had been fond of religious disputation: my poor aunt has been often puzzled by the mysteries which she strove to believe; nor had the elastic spring been totally broken by the weight of the atmosphere of Oxford. The blind activity of idleness urged me to advance without armor into the dangerous mazes of controversy; and at the age of sixteen, I bewildered myself in the errors of the church of Rome."
"The progress of my conversion may tend to illustrate, at least, the history of my own mind. It was not long since Dr. Middleton's free enquiry had sounded an alarm in the theological world: much ink and much gall had been spilt in the defence of primitive miracles; and the two dullest of their champions were crowned with academical honors by the university of Oxford. The name of Middleton was unpopular; and his proscription very naturally led me to peruse his writings, and those of his antagonists. His bold criticism, which approaches the precipice of infidelity, produced on my mind a singular effect; and had I persevered in the communion of Rome, I should now apply to my own fortune the prediction of the Sybil,
Via prima aui, Quod minime veris, Gratia, panditur orbis.
"The elegance of style and freedom of argument were repelled by a shield of prejudice. I still revered the character, or rather the names, of the saints and fathers whom Dr. Middleton exposes; nor could he destroy my implicit belief, that the gift of miraculous powers was continued in the church, during the first four or five centuries of christianity. But I was unable to resist the weight of historical evidence, that within the same period most of the leading doctrines of popery were already introduced in theory and practice: nor was my conclusion absurd, that miracles are the test of truth, and that the church must be orthodox and sure, which was so often approved by the visible interposition of the Deity. The marvellous tales which are so boldly attested by the Basils and Chrysostoms, the Augustines and Jeromes, compelled me to embrace the superior merits of celibacy, the institution of the monastic life, the use of the sign of the cross, of holy oil, and even of images, the invocation of saints, the worship of relics, the rudiments of purgatory in prayers for the dead, and the tremendous mystery of the sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ, which insensibly swelled into the prodigy of transubstantiation. In these dispositions, and already more than half a convert, I formed an unlucky intimacy with a young gentleman of our college, whose name I shall spare. With a character less resolute, Mr. **** had imbibed the same religious opinions; and some Popish books, I know not through what channel, were conveyed into his possession. I read, I applauded, I believed: the English translations of two famous works of Bossuet, bishop of Meaux, the Exposition of the Catholic Doctrine, and the History of the Protestant Variations, achieved my conversion, and I surely fell by a noble hand. I have since examined the originals with a more discerning eye, and shall not hesitate to pronounce, that Bossuet is indeed a master of all the weapons of controversy. In the Exposition, a specious apology, the orator assumes, with consummate art, the tone of candor and simplicity; and the ten-horned monster is transformed, at his magic touch, into the milk-white hind, who must be loved as soon as she is seen. In the history, a bold and well-aimed attack, he displays, with a happy mixture of narrative and argument, the faults and follies, the changes and contradictions of our first reformers; whose variations (as he dexterously contends) are the marks of historical error, while the perpetual unity of the Catholic church is the sign and test of infallible truth. To my present feelings it seems incredible that I should ever believe that I believed in transubstantiation. But my conqueror oppressed me with the sacramental words, " Hoc est corpus meum ," and dashed against each other the figurative half-meanings of the protestant sect: every objection was resolved into omnipotence; and after repeating at St. Mary's the Athanasian creed, I humbly acquiesced in the mystery of the real presence.
To take up half a point, and half to try, Name it not faith, but bumping bigotry. Both leave and fool, the merchant we may call To pay great sums, and to compound the small, For who would break with Heaven, and would not break for all?
"No sooner had I settled my new religion than I resolved to profess myself a Catholic. Youth is sincere and impetuous; and a momentary glow of enthusiasm had raised me above all temporal considerations."
"By the keen protestants, who would gladly retaliate the example of persecution, a clamor is raised of the increase of Popery: and they are always loud to declare against the toleration of priests and jesuits, who pervert so many of his majesty's subjects from their religion and allegiance. On the present occasion, the full of one or more of her sons directed this clamor against the university; and it was confidently affirmed that the Popish missionaries were suffered, under various disguises, to introduce themselves into the colleges of Oxford. But justice obliges me to declare, that, as far as relates to myself, this assertion is false; and that I never conversed with a priest, or even with a papist, till my resolution from book was absolutely fixed. In my last excursion to London, I addressed myself to Mr. Lewis, a Roman Catholic Bookseller in Russet street, Covent Garden, who recommended me to a priest, of whose name and order I am at present ignorant. In our first interview he soon discovered that persuasion was need less. After sounding the motives and merits of my conversion, he consented to admit me into the pale of the church, and at his feet, on the 8th of June 1753, I solemnly, though privately, abjured the errors of heresy. The seduction of an English youth of family and fortune was an act of as much danger as glory; but he bravely overlooked the danger, of which I was not sufficiently informed. "Where a person is reconciled to the see of Rome, or procures others to be reconciled, the offence (says Blackstone) amounts to high treason." And if the humanity of the age would prevent the execution of this sanguinary statute, there were other laws of a less odious cast, which condemned the priest to perpetual imprisonment, and transferred the proselyte's estate to his nearest relation. An elaborate controversial epistle, approved by my directory, and addressed to my father, announced and justified the step I had taken. My father was neither a bigot nor a philosopher; but his affection deplored the loss of an only son; and his good sense was astonished at my strange departure from the religion of my country. In the first sallies of passion he divulged a secret which prudence might have suppressed, and the gates of Magdalen College were forever shut against my return. Many years afterwards, when the name of Gibbon was become as notorious as that of Middleton, it was industriously whispered at Oxford, that the historian had formerly "turned papist:" my character so exposed to the reproach of inconstancy; and this invidious topic would have been handled without mercy by my opponents, could they have separated my cause from that of the university. For my own part, I am proud of an honest sacrifice of interest to conscience. I can never blush, if my tender mind was entangled in the sophistry that seduced the acute and manly understandings of Chillingworth and Bayle, who afterwards emerged from superstition to scepticism."
ANSWER.
Of the President of the United States, to the address and proceedings of the meeting of the republican delegates of the county of Salem, N. J. on the 3d ult.
Washington, March 20, 1809.
GENTLEMEN,
The proceedings of the republican delegates of the several townships of the county of Salem, in New Jersey, on the 3d instant, transmitted by you, have been duly received.
It is highly agreeable to find in these proceedings, our national embarrassments traced to their true source, in the injustice and aggressions of foreign powers; and equally so to see measures of counteracting them so entirely approved.
It cannot be doubted that these measures have had many salutary effects; and that the efficacy of them would have been still greater, if the perseverance of those powers in their wrongs, had been less encouraged by unworthy citizens, who have shown themselves ready to sacrifice their duty and their country, to the spirit of party or the thirst of gain. There could not be a more honorable contrast, than is presented in the sentiments and determinations of the meeting in the county of Salem, nor pledges more animating to those charged with the maintenance of the rights and interests of the nation.
Having borne a part, though less distinguished than your own, in establishing a system of government, under which we live, I may be well presumed to feel a solicitude for the success, as well as a conviction of the soundness of its principles.
Thus far we have all had reason to be gratified with its fruits; and nothing could make me more happy than to be among the instruments of divine providence, in rendering its conduct in the highest possible degree, to the welfare of our country.
JAMES MADISON.
THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY, To the address and resolutions of the democratic citizens of Kent county, Md. convened at the head of Chester, on the 4th ult.
Washington, March 21, 1809.
SIR—I have received your letter of the 16th inst. enclosing the proceedings of "the democratic citizens of Kent county, on the 4th instant." I am greatly obliged by the kind expressions towards me, which have a place in those proceedings, and the more so as the value of them is enhanced by the patriotic spirit which characterizes the meeting.
In preferring peace, though prepared for a suspension of its blessings, when the national rights cannot be otherwise maintained; and in doing justice to the measures and motives by which those blessings have been cherished, without an abandonment of those rights, they have shown themselves worthy of the country and government of which they are citizens.
It is a grateful reflection that a like disposition prevails throughout the great mass of our countrymen; and it may reasonably be hoped, that the number forming an exception will every day diminish under the influence of truth and of the general example.
I tender to the citizens of Kent county, to whom I am indebted for the address transmitted by you, my sincere respects and friendly wishes.
JAMES MADISON.
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
ROAD TO PHILADELPHIA.
Some public spirited gentlemen, anxious for the improvement of this hitherto neglected but highly interesting road, have employed an eminent surveyor to go over it. The distance is found to be ninety-three miles, through Derby, Chester, Wilmington, Elkton, Havre-de-Grace and Bushtown to Baltimore. The same surveyor has ascertained the distance between Baltimore and Philadelphia, in a direct line to be 85 1/4 miles, or 73 3/4 miles shorter than the road now runs. He has also laid down a plan of nearly straightening the road, at the same time that it runs through all the above-mentioned towns: according to this plan the distance would be reduced to 86 1/2 miles. The straight line passes better than two miles South of the mouth of the Susquehanna, and the present post towns are as nearly as they possibly can be on the straight line. Thus supposing, the surface of the road to be in no higher degree of improvement than it now is, about 1 1/2 hours travelling, would be saved by the proposed change or about 1-14th of the whole distance.
There is no habitual traveller between this city and Philadelphia, or between the towns lying on different sides of the Susquehanna, but has suffered delay or danger in his journeys from the necessity of crossing it. To female travellers in particular it very often clouds a journey of pleasure with a dread, which the desire to see a near connection or dear friend, or some highly interesting concern, is alone sufficient to surmount. The motion of the mail is also materially retarded by the present mode of crossing the river. What with the shipping and unloading of the baggage, waiting for the boat, which may be on the other side; the wind being unfavorable, the ice, &c. &c. &c. an hour's gain of time is a reasonable average computation, which a bridge instead of a boat would produce.
A bridge, at the mouth of the Susquehanna, is very practicable; and it could be more durable and substantially placed there, at an expense not greater than has been laid out in building that which has been thrown across the Potomac at Washington, via

therefore under this impression, is to prepare for an event which they both believe inevitable, while they both wish to avoid it. But by what fatality is it that a calamity so dreadful must be rendered inevitable because it is thought so? Both governments have tongues, and both have ears—Why will they not speak? Why will they not listen? The causes that have hitherto prevented them are not difficult to assign. I could easily explain them, as I believe, to the satisfaction of both parties and without throwing so much blame on either government, as each of them at present ascribes to the other. But I will avoid speaking of any past provocation on either side. The point that I wish to establish in your mind is, that the French directory is at present sincerely desirous of restoring harmony between this country and the U. States, on terms honorable and advantageous to both parties. I wish to convince you of this, and through you, the American government, because that government being desirous of the same thing, would not fail to take such steps as would lead immediately to the object.
In offering you my proofs of the present disposition on this side, you will permit me to observe, that some of them are from their nature incapable of being detailed, and improper to be trusted to the casualties of a letter. But I will mention a few that are ostensible, and so far as they go undeniable. First, the directory has declared that it will receive and treat with any minister from America, who shall appear to be sent with a sincere intention of treating and terminating existing difficulties. I have no doubt but this was the intention when the last envoys were sent; but from some unfortunate circumstances the directory did not believe it. Second, as a preliminary, it has been declared that in the negotiation there shall be no question of loans of money, or apologies for offensive speeches pronounced by the Executive on either side. Third, all commissions given to privateers in the West Indies are recalled, and when new commissions are issued, the owners and commanders are to be restricted under bonds, to the legal object of capture. Fourth, an embargo that was laid on American ships within the republic in consequence of a report that war had been begun on the part of the U. States, was taken off as soon as it was ascertained that such war had not been begun; and a new declaration was at the same time sent to America of the wishes of France to treat. These facts will doubtless come to your knowledge through other channels, before you receive this letter. But there are other facts which in my mind are equally clear, though they will be destitute of corroborating circumstances, and must rest on my own information and opinion. 1st—That this government contemplates a just indemnity for spoliations on American commerce, to be ascertained by commissioners in a manner similar to the one prescribed in our treaty with England. 2d—That the legislation will soon be changed here with respect to neutrals, and that all flags will be put on the footing of the law of nations. 3d—That a public agent would have been named and sent to Philadelphia soon after Mr. Gerry's departure, were it not for the apprehensions that he would not have been received. There was a doubt whether the American government would not have already taken such measures of hostility as to be unwilling to listen to terms of accommodation, and the directory did act choose to dispute the chance of seeing its offers refused. 4th—That the directory considers these declarations and transactions as a sufficient overture on its part. That it has retreated to an open ground that is quite unsuspicious. That a refusal on the part of the American government to meet on this ground, will be followed by immediate war, and that it will be a war of the most terrible and vindictive kind.
This, sir, is my view of the present state of facts. Should it make that impression on your mind, which I desire for the sake of humanity that it may, you will judge whether it does not comport with the independence of the U. States and the dignity of their government, to send another minister to form new treaties with the French republic. In a war there is clearly nothing to be gained by us, not even honor.—Honor indeed may be saved by war, and so it may be by negotiation. But the calamities inseparable from a war of this kind, and under present circumstances, would be incalculable. I do not say that the United States or any portion of them would be conquered; but they would sacrifice great numbers of their best citizens, buttress themselves with four times their present debt, overturn the purest system of morals and lose the fairest opportunity that ever a nation had of rising to greatness and happiness on the basis of liberty.
Were I writing to a young general, whose name was still to be created, I might deem it useless to ask him to stifle in its birth a war on which he had founded his hopes of future honors. But you, sir, having already earned and acquired all those that can render a man great and happy, can surely have no object of ambition but to render our country so.—To engage your influence in favor of a new attempt at negotiation, I thought it only necessary to convince you that such an attempt would be well received here, and probably attended with success. I can do no more than assure you that this is my sincere opinion, and that my information is drawn from ununsuspected sources.
I am not accustomed to interpose my advice in the administration of any country, and should not have done it now, did I not believe it my duty as a citizen of my own, and a friend to all others. I see two great nations rushing on each other's bayonets, without any other cause of contention but a misunderstanding. I shudder at the prospect and wish to throw myself between the vans, and suspend the onset, till a word of explanation can pass. I hope my letter will have thrown some light upon the subject; but if it shall not, I hope you will excuse the attempt, for you know my zeal is honest.
I have the honor to be, sir, With great respect, Your most obedient and Most humble servant, JOEL BARLOW. To General Washington.
Neither Mr. Barlow's letter nor general Washington's opinion would have influenced me to nominate a minister, if I had not received abundant assurances to the same effect from regular diplomatic sources. I, however, considered general Washington's question, whether Mr. Barlow's was written with a very good or a very bad design; and as with all my jealousy I had not sagacity enough to discover the smallest room for suspicion of any ill design, I frankly concluded that it was written with a very good one.
From general Washington's letter it appears—1st. That it was his opinion that the restoration of peace upon just, honorable and dignified terms, was the ardent desire of all the friends of this rising empire. 2d. That he thought negotiation might be brought on, upon open, fair and honorable ground. 3d. That he was so desirous of peace, that he was willing to enter into correspondence with Mr. Barlow, a private gentleman, without any visible credentials or public character, or responsibility to either government, in order to bring on a public negotiation. General Washington, therefore, could not consider the negotiation odious. JOHN ADAMS. Quincy, April 10. 1809.
OLMSTEAD'S CASE. Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. April 17, 1809.
Present, Chief Justice Tilghman . After the Attorney General had concluded his address to the court on the writ of Habeas Corpus issued by the Chief Justice in favor of Mrs. Sergeant, William Lewis , as counsel for Gideon Olmstead addressed the court: he wished before he entered into an examination of the principles and reasoning of the Attorney General, to know whether the Chief Justice considered himself authorised in any case to grant the request prayed for by the prisoner. The Chief Justice informed Mr. Lewis that he might go on to the merits of the case, for that he did consider himself bound to hear and qualified to determine as to the competency of the jurisdiction of the authority by which the prisoner was in custody. The court adjourned at half after one to meet in the afternoon at half after three, at which time they did meet.
Mr. Lewis opened his address with distinguished ability, and took a rapid but clear and comprehensive view of the origin and powers of Congress previous to any constitution, articles of confederation or other instrument of writing, but the moment that he entered into an investigation of the question before the court, all of manliness and vigor departed from him, his mind was no longer under the dominion of reason, but the tyrannic influence of petty, personal, political and party passions. He was grossly abusive of every thing democratic—the late President of the United States and successive legislatures of Pennsylvania were covered with the slime which he deposited as he crawled and crept over or touched upon their names or their acts.
When Mr. Lewis had concluded, Mr. Jared Ingersoll rose on the part of the commonwealth. Previously to his addressing the court, the Chief Justice took occasion to request that he would not travel out of the cause to reply to the extraneous matter introduced by Lewis. There was a severity of reproof in what fell from the Chief
Justice which must have been felt where it was so much deserved.
Mr. Ingersoll's whole speech went to show that the courts of the United States had not jurisdiction in this cause: his dissection of the opinion of Chief Justice Marshall was critical, luminous, and impressive. The court adjourned at seven o'clock. On Wednesday next at 12 o'clock the Chief Justice is to deliver his opinion.
Dem. Press. April 20. Yesterday morning, Mr. Chief Justice Tilghman delivered his opinion on the writ of Habeas Corpus, requiring the Marshal of the district to bring Mrs. Sergeant before him.
After going at length into the merits of the case, and making a very able and lucid statement of all the material facts & of the laws connected with them, he concluded with an order, that Mrs. Sergeant remain in the custody of the Marshal. D. Adv. April 19.
The Chief Justice has just delivered his opinion that Mrs. Sergeant must remain in custody of the Marshal. The faith of the state being pledged to indemnify the Executrix, and it being now impossible to give any indemnification except by the payment of the money, we presume the governor will order it to be paid.

Philadelphia, April 18. It is stated, on the authority of advices from Bermuda, that a frigate had arrived from England, bringing instructions to the admiral commanding on the West India station, not to molest American vessels or property.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in England, to his friend in Boston.
"I have not found any Englishman hardy enough to justify the orders in council; that honor belongs exclusively to some Americans."
New York, April 18. Our letters from Liverpool, to March 1st, state, that notwithstanding the supplies recently received, all articles of American produce bore very high prices. Some cottons were rated at a dollar and a quarter per lb. The common cottons, at about 57 cents.—Flour, March 1st, was at 12 1/2 dollars the American barrel. There is no part of England in which the American embargo is so severely felt as in Liverpool.
SPANISH AFFAIRS. EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE OF THE GOVERNMENT. Tuesday, Feb. 21.—The Marquis de la Romana informs, in a letter of the 12th of this month, that the inhabitants of the Barco de Valdeorras irritated at seeing the equipage of a French general pass through their territory, assembled, and attacked a detachment of 108 dragoon which escorted it, killed 89, and made 19 prisoners, taking possession of every thing they were conveying; that for that reason the inhabitants of the whole district of Valdeorras had assembled and armed themselves, resolved to oppose the enemy, if they should come to chastise them; and that their example would certainly be imitated by others, which promised the most favorable consequences.
He adds that the soldiers who had been dispersed were continually returning to their respective corps, and fresh volunteers joining the army, so that he has no doubt but that in the course of the present month his force will be considerably augmented, as the natives of the kingdom of Galicia, now that they experience more sensibly the evils that the enemy occasions, are in a state of insurrection, with which reinforcements and the assistance which he expects from Portugal, Romana trusts that the enemy will repent of having penetrated in Galicia.
Spaniards—Our enemies have profited nothing by that manœuvre:—scattered over that immense country they have found their grave. The people of Galicia were deceived, but their eyes are now opened; thus it happens to all, who, deceived by their deceitful offers, have had the weakness to receive them; but there is not one who, if he has endured them once, does not resist them a second time: a thousand examples might be cited of this truth, and a thousand others to show that they have conquered none who have boldly opposed them. Courage, Spaniards, courage, and we are invincible; death is more certain in flight than in resistance, and death is better than the slavery to which the French want to reduce us. Europe has her eyes upon us; let us not disappoint her hopes nor the efforts which the nations are about to make in our favor. Courage and patience for a little time and we are safe.
Don Gregorio de la Cuesta writes on the 17th, that the enemy who had advanced over the bridge of the arch-
bishop as far as the Mesa de Ibor, had retreated that morning towards the same bridge, leaving behind some muskets; and at five in the afternoon on the same day, they had also withdrawn towards the village of Almaraz the pieces of cannon which they had on the other end of the bridge.
Easton, (Penn.) April 15. On Monday last, near one hundred log and board rafts passed this borough on their way to Philadelphia, many of which, we are informed, came from 200 miles above this place. It is remarkable that the boards of two of these rafts were cut six miles on the other side of the Susquehanna river, and within 16 miles of Cooperstown in the state of New York. Cooperstown is the capital of Otsego county, and is pleasantly situated at the South west end of Lake Otsego. It is 73 miles west of Albany, and 348 miles from Philadelphia. It is supposed that more than five hundred rafts have passed this borough within the present week. This circumstance clearly demonstrates the necessity and advantage of the free navigation of the river Delaware.
Oliver Cromwell ordered the following motto to be cast on his cannon—"Open thou our lips, and our mouths shall show forth thy praise." An instance of profanity almost equal to that of some of our tory priests, who pray to God for his blessings, and recommend treason to their fellow-citizens. Balt. Paper.
POSTSCRIPT. New York, April 20.
LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. Last evening arrived at this port the brig Cumberland, capt. Meserve, in 44 days from Liverpool, which place the vessel left on the 6th of March, & capt. M. has politely favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of the London Courier to the evening of the 3d of March, from which we have copied the following articles of intelligence.
Our London papers are nearly filled with the examination of the witnesses against the Duke of York.
London, March 1. A question was asked by Mr. Ponsonby in the House of Commons yesterday, whether the treaty which had been said to be on the eve of being concluded with Spain, had been as yet ratified?—And 2d, whether the report to which he had alluded on a former night, viz. that the force sent from Lisbon had been refused admission into Cadiz, was true?
Mr. Canning replied to the first question, that the ratification of the treaty had not been received; and to the second, that he could not give any precise answer, though he did not know of such circumstance having taken place.

LONDON, MARCH 3. Peace between Great Britain and Turkey.—Probability of war between Austria and France.
Dutch papers arrived this morning to the 28th ult. They contain very important intelligence—War between Austria and France is openly spoken of, and an article in the Leyden paper of the 27th informs us of the measures which have been adopted by the cabinet of Vienna: measures which can only have been adopted in the contemplation of an immediate war.
Peace has certainly been concluded between Turkey and Great Britain. It was signed by the Turkish minister, Hakki Effendi, and Mr. Adair. A fresh insurrection had broken out at Constantinople, and the peace with England it is said, in an article from Vienna, to have been the immediate consequence of it. The Russian generals, as soon as they were informed of the event, broke off all negotiation with the Turks.
Peace with Turkey was signed on the 5th of January.
An article from Arragon, dated the 11th of February, mentions that there are 40,000 men in arms, defending Saragossa; that Junot is besieging it; that the works and trenches are pushed on to the gates of the town, and a bombardment kept up without intermission. The enemy hope to force the place to surrender by famine more than by force of arms.
Vienna, Feb. 11.—A courier sent off by our Intermuncio at Constantinople, M. Sturm, has brought intelligence to the government of a new insurrection of the Janissaries, which has been
very bloody, and by which the Porte was obliged to conclude a peace with England. The Courier left Constantinople on the 16th January. The first consequence of this event has been, that the Russian generals have broken off all communication with the Turks.
Our communication with Sweden and the Baltic, is at length opened, and this morning 11 of the 16 Gotterburg mails due, arrived. On the 23d of Dec. five British and three Swedish ships of war, with a convoy of 12 merchant vessels, sailed for England, part of which were lost by the ice, and part captured by the Danes—some of the prizes were also lost in the same way.
