STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
The debates last week bore some resemblance to certain bills, denominated Hatch Potch , which are occasionally brought in at the close of a session, and which relate to a variety of subjects. The debates were less upon the propriety and impropriety of proroguing the parliament than upon the situation of our external and internal politics. The motion for short adjournment proceeded less from a real wish to keep the parliament, sitting than from a knowledge that the discussions of those motions would include a discussion of all possible subjects, and from a hope to draw from the Minister some explanations upon the subject of foreign and domestic politics, upon the external situation of the country, and the internal situation of the cabinet. We are therefore relieved from the necessity of entering into any reviews of the arguments for or against a prorogation; though we think the arguments drawn from the power vested in the king to call parliament together in fourteen days, conclusive against it. But these motions at the close of a session against proroguing parliament are not new; they were made last year with the same views, and upon the same principles Lord Holland made a similar motion in the summer of 1800, in which he used the same language against Lord Grenville, that Lord Grenville, Mr. Grey, and Mr. Windham use now against the present ministers. Lord Holland in 1800, represented the power of Bonaparte to have been cemented by the folly and incapacity of Lord Grenville, and his colleagues, who had given proofs of the most shameful ignorance and misconduct, and who were equally incapable of carrying on a war with success, or concluding a peace with honor. Lord Grenville in 1805, borrows against Lord Sidmouth, the invectives and accusations that were formerly urged against himself by Lord Holland. How little variation has there been at all times in the march and conduct of opposition! They all tread the same path, they are all condemned like Sisyphus, to the same up hill labor. The arguments and accusations against the conductors of the last war are revived against the conductors of the present. The speeches of 1795 are repeated in 1805; the song that was sung in the former period is sung in the latter in the same strain. We turned this morning to a speech of Mr. Grey in 1803: it is astonishing what a similarity there is between their speeches then and now; the same gloom and despondence prevail; the same exaggeration of the strength of the enemy, and the same undervaluing the resources of Great Britain. It seems as if the powers of his mind were confined within a narrow compass; he is nothing if not indulging the natural peevishness and petulance of his disposition; he has no glow and warmth of feeling, nothing of the imagination and fire of genius; his mind is not generous enough for confidence—is not generous enough for candor; distrust, suspicion and despondence appear to occupy it entirely.
Seldom he smiles; and smiles in such a sort As if he mocked himself, and scorned his spirit That could be moved to smile at any thing.
One of the inconveniences (they are but few) of our excellent constitution is, that in every war the enemies are sure to find powerful allies in the opposers of government. But we never could satisfactorily explain the arguments by which they could justify or palliate the panegyrics they bestow; and the exalted pictures they draw of the power and resources of France. If they do not believe their own sentiments they are hypocrites—if they do believe them they are not patriots. If Europe really supposed our resources to be diminished, what power on the continent would feel the least inclination to co-operate with us? If the enemy entertained the same supposition, what chance would we have of any negotiation with honor or advantage? That these opposition efforts really produce the effect of giving increased confidence to the enemy, and of disheartening the continental powers, we do not assert, because they are usually accompanied with the most marked inconsistency or incongruity. The ministers are held up to Europe as weak, incapable and insufficient; and then, having been represented as totally unworthy of confidence, they are inveighed against for not having obtained the co-operation of the European powers. One minute it is considered as a proof of want of talents in the ministers, that they have not produced a continental alliance; the next, it is asserted to be a fact, that the great powers of Europe are decidedly averse to a continental war. These incongruities and in-
consistencies act therefore as an antidote to the bane and poison of the opposition doctrines, and rendered them nearly innocuous. But any idea of a continental alliance being most improbable both in the opinion of the Moniteur and Mr. Grey, what then would he advise us to do? To see whether a peace cannot be obtained upon fair and honorable terms. What! after having argued that we are unable to cope with France, that "the amount of taxes is so great that for the first time there appears reason to conclude, from their produce, that they have been carried as far as they can go"—after having said that "when we compare our whole military force with that of the enemy, with his increasing means, with his uninterrupted exertions, with the menaced attacks upon us, withdrawing out our naval power to foreign nations, kept pace with the progress of the foe; that in comparison with our danger our means of security have not advanced, and that in reality the country is less upon an equality with the preparations, and with the means of France, than it was last year." After having said these things; after having drawn this gloomy picture of our situation, does Mr. Grey expect us to make a fair and honorable peace? Is not this mockery and insult? Is it not malignantly and insulting to tell a nation represented to be unable to carry on war with effect, that it ought to make peace upon honorable and advantageous terms? Would an enemy, believing himself to be superior in strength and resources, grant such terms? Would Bonaparte, if we were really so degraded and humbled, allow us an honorable peace? What does Mr. Grey see in the character of that man, that should make him believe he will refrain from exacting the last sacrifice, and drawing the last blood drop from a fallen enemy!
The debates of the last week naturally class themselves under two heads—our external politics and internal. We shall discuss the latter first.
INTERNAL POLITICS.
It must be apparent to every body that the tone, and temper, and language of the leaders of the two parties have lately undergone a considerable change, and have assumed, almost on a sudden, a greater degree of moderation; we speak of the two great parties; not of that little insignificant intermediate set which bears a considerable resemblance to a party in the national convention called the Ventre . All that was acrimonious on the part of the opposition in the house of lords was directed against the Addington party; and here we cannot help noticing a curious fact that struck us most forcibly. It seemed as if it had been previously arranged, that the Addington party should be attacked, and that treaty of Amiens inveighed against in one house, but that party and the peace of Amiens should be spared in the other; because one of the opposition leaders, Mr. Fox, had pointedly approved of that treaty, and because the assistance of that party might still be wanted in another discussion with respect to Lord Melville. But the Addingtons are miserably deceived if they think their conduct has recommended them even to the opposition—the opposition will make use of them for their occasions, but no more; they will have no permanent connexion with them; they will have no separate party in the cabinet; they will have no coalition with them; but they will make use of them to form a coalition with Pitt. Whatever credit the Addington party acquired by their administration is now rapidly declining, they will never recover it— facilis descensus, sed revocare gradum —it is impossible; like some of those meteors we see at night in the sky, their brilliancy will but be momentary; they will fall and be forgotten. If we praised and supported the administration of Mr. Addington, it was not because we thought him possessed of great talents, but because he exercised great moderation. His administration was beneficial because it was moderate; it was such a one as the country wanted after the stormy periods and events they had just struggled thro'; the people wished for repose and they found it under him. We applauded his elevation to power, because it was not the event of successful faction. If we have disapproved of his conduct since his dismissal from the post of prime minister, it is because he seems to have abandoned all those qualities which rendered him formerly worthy support. Before he was admitted a second time into the cabinet, we saw occasion to warn him against factious opposition to the minister, and to predict that he should never stand alone.
In vain have we tried to discover in the President of the council mildness and moderation of the first lord of the treasury.
Pique, jealousy seem to be the prevailing features of his party; they cannot forgive Mr. Pitt for having withdrawn his stay and support from their administration; they cannot forgive him for having displaced their leader; they forget that he first raised that leader from the ranks and made him what he is. All their conduct to Mr. Pitt has the air and stamp of jealousy and anger. Granted that they were right in opposing him in the case of Lord Melville, were they right in opposing him in that most offensive manner possible? Did they even communicate to him the conduct they meant to adopt upon the motion for impeachment? Were they justified in opposing him in such a way as almost to encourage a suspicion that they thought him not quite clear from the offences imputed to Lord Melville? Were they liberal or even just in the subsequent conduct they adopted to him, after his complete acquittal from the charges brought against him? But the case of Lord Melville is not, as some of their supporters would have it supposed, the only difference of opinion that exists. In both houses their dissention with Mr. Pitt has been alluded to, and has not been denied. Lord Grenville pointedly asserted, that "they were completely disunited among themselves, and more anxious to discover and take advantage of the faults of their colleagues, than to watch over the operations of the enemy." Was it not obvious that he alluded solely to the Addington party. Did one of them, did Lord Sidmouth deny or even take notice of the allusion? Mr. Fox made a similar assertion in the house of commons. The Addington party there did not contradict it, and Mr. Pitt, who replied to Mr. Fox, did not once touch upon that part of his speech. The dissention in the cabinet therefore stands confessed. It cannot then be expected to remain as it is. Who must yield? Need we ask the question when the contest is between Mr. Pitt and Lord Sidmouth? Lord Sidmouth we suppose will speedily retire. The opposition will make use of his party to form a coalition with Mr. Pitt. Will they succeed? A considerable degree of discussion has been produced by a report of some expressions which a respectable morning paper stated on Saturday to have dropped from Mr. Fox; the import of which was, that he formed a resolution never to accept of any public situation. We know the authority upon which that paper stated those expressions, and it is such as we should think unquestionable. But the opposition writers are in the utmost agony lest they should obtain the slightest belief. They contradict it in the most positive manner. But they say he did declare that no personal views of his should stand in the way of so desirable an object, (a comprehensive Administration.)
It may not here be unseasonable to advert to the subject of Mr. Fox's exclusion; though any obstacle which that might interpose to the formation of any ministry, seems now to be removed by Mr. Fox's declaration. A great deal of clamor has been industriously raised against the crown, for its unwillingness to avail itself of Mr. Fox's talents in the cabinet. But surely how ever transcendent those abilities are, the crown could not expect that they could be very serviceable in the cabinet, when the possessor of them was known to be decidedly hostile to the system pursued by that cabinet.
War had been entered upon; Mr. Fox was known to be hostile to it. Could the crown suppose that the best way of carrying on a war with vigor would be to select a man to conduct it who was known to be in favor of peace? Indeed could Mr. Fox, with his principles, have conscientiously accepted a seat in the cabinet? The sentiments of the king were for war. Mr. Fox however he might coalesce with every one else, had shown that he would not coalesce with him in his opinion of the necessity of war, to make him a member of the cabinet and one of his confidential advisers? It is idle therefore to enveil against the crown, on account of Mr. Fox's exclusion. Mr. Fox, by his avowed principles and sentiments, excluded himself. But any obstacle which those sentiments, might interpose, are now removed by Mr. Fox's declaration. It may be therefore, that some attempt will be made to form a coalition. But at any rate it seems altogether impossible that Mr. Pitt and Lord Sidmouth can continue to act together, or that the cabinet can remain as it is.

On Saturday evening arrived at this port the fine fast sailing ship, London Packet captain M c Dougal, in 30 days from London. To captain M c Dougal's attention in procuring papers while at the Downs, we are indebted for London dates to the 10th August, being 14 days later than any previous accounts.
The contents of these papers, given in detail in this day's Philadelphia Gazette, are unusually interesting, and forebode events of superior importance. The note of the Russian minister, assigning on the part of Bonaparte, of the title and prerogative of king of Italy, and his other acts of ambitious aggrandizement, evince that Russia no longer remains an indifferent spectator, of the all grasping policy of France. Bonaparte's reply to his note, which on account of its length cannot appear in this day's Gazette, is couched in terms of muchasperity and irritation! "What" says the document, "is then the emperor of the French lowered to that degree, of weakness, that he must coolly listen to a Russian commissary calling him to an account for what he does in countries unknown to Russia, and with which she has no relations? The note proceeds thro' three columns in a strain of ardent invectives, in repelling the claim of Russia to any interference in the concerns alluded to in the Russian note; and concludes by declaring that Russia alone is an incompetent power to mediate between England and France.
Next in importance to the foregoing correspondence, are the details of the engagement, between the combined fleets and that under sir R. Calder. We have given all the particulars which appear in our London papers.
Mr. Bowdoin, our minister to Spain, arrived in London the 30th July, and contemplated remaining in that country three or four months.

Another French fleet out!
Capt. Hartwell, of the ship Lewis-William, on the 16th Aug. in lat. 44, 10, long. 15, 30, fell in with a French fleet consisting of 34 sail. He was taken on board the admiral's ship and had his papers examined. At the same time saw a ship on fire, which one of the officers informed, was an English letter of marque which they had taken in the morning and set fire to. The fleet when captain Hartwell left them, was steering W. S. W. supposed them bound to the W. Indies.

Copy of a letter from the honorable admiral Cornwallis, commander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels in the Channel, &c. to William Marsden, dated Ville de Paris, off Ushant, 28th July, 1805. Eight, P. M.
Sir, I have the pleasure to enclose, for the information of the lords commissioners of the admiralty, a letter from vice-admiral sir Robert Calder, giving an account of his success against the combined squadrons of France and Spain.
I have the honor to be, &c. W. CORNWALLIS.
Prince of Wales, July 17.
Sir, Yesterday, at noon, lat. 43, long. 11, I was favored with a view of the combined squadron of France and Spain, consisting of 20 sail of the line, also three large ships armed en flute, of about fifty guns each, with five frigates and three brigs; the force under my direction at this time consisting of fifteen sail of the line, two frigates, a cutter, and a lugger, I immediately stood towards the enemy with the squadron, making the needful signals for battle in the closest order, and on closing with them, I made the signal for attacking their centre. When I had reached their rear, I tacked the squadron in succession, this brought us close up under their lee, and when our headmost ships reached their centre, the enemy were tacking in succession.

who obliged me to make again the same manoeuvre, by which I brought on an action which lasted upwards of four hours, when I found it necessary to bring to the squadron to cover the two captured ships, whose names are in the margin.* I have to observe, the enemy had every advantage of wind and weather during the whole day. The weather had been foggy at times, a great part of the morning, and very soon after we had brought them to action, the fog was so very thick at intervals, that we could with great difficulty see the ship ahead or stern of us; this rendered it impossible to take the advantages of the enemy by signals I could have wished to have done; had the weather been more favorable, I am led to believe the victory would have been more complete.
I have very great pleasure in saying, every ship was conducted in the most masterly style; and I beg leave here publicly to return every captain, officer, and man whom I had the honor to command on that day, my most grateful thanks for their conspicuously gallant and very judicious good conduct.
The honorable captain Gardner, of the Hero, led the van squadron in a most masterly and officer-like manner, to whom I feel myself particularly indebted; as also to captain Cuming, for his assistance during the action.
Enclosed, is a list of killed and wounded on board the different ships. If I may judge from the great slaughter made on board the captured ships, the enemy must have suffered greatly. They are now in sight to windward; and when I have secured the captured ships, and put the squadron to rights, I shall endeavor to avail myself of any opportunity that may offer, to give you some further account of these combined squadrons.
I have the honor to be, &c. R. CALDER. Hon. adm. Cornwallis.

THE BATTLE.
The following letter from a midshipman on board the Egyptienne frigate, to a relative in London, contains some particulars, which, we think, will not prove unacceptable to our readers:
On board his majesty's ship Egyptienne, July 29, 1805, Plymouth Sound. Ere this reaches you I suppose you will have heard of sir Robert Calder's having fallen in with the combined fleets of France and Spain off Cape Finisterre, and as the Egyptienne was with the English squadron, I can give you as circumstantial an account of the action as you can as yet have received by the papers. Our squadron consisted of fifteen line of battle ships, two frigates, a lugger, and cutter. The enemy 20 line of battle ships, seven frigates, 2 brigs, and a Spanish galleon of 16 guns. July 22, a little before noon, the enemy being on the look out ahead, made
the signal for several strange vessels to the S. E. The admiral immediately made the signal to make all sail, and prepare for battle, our 2 frigates being directed to keep sight of the enemy. The advanced line of battle ships, at two P. M. made the signal for thirty sail. Shortly after they were seen from our deck, forming the line of battle on the larboard tack. We continued to stand on till we were within gun-shot of them, when we hove too to observe them. The line appeared to be well formed and regular. One of their frigates had the galleon in tow. Our line was formed on starboard tack, and was nobly led into action by the Egyptienne. At 5 P. M. the action commenced. As we being the headmost ship of our line, some of the sternmost ships of the enemy hoisted Spanish colors, and two of their line of battle ships gave us each a broadside, which we returned; and we since learned that the first broadside they got, which was from us, shot away the second captain's leg, and did some other damage. One of them bore up and raked us, but did us no material injury. Our line, who followed us close up, now began to open their fire on the enemy; the weather being now become very thick and foggy, we were merely directed by the report of guns. At six the fog began to clear away, and the Windsor Castle was perceived firing a broadside into the enemy's vessels passing on the opposite tacks. Five minutes past six, the firing was continued without interruption. I saw the Ajax behaving worthy the name she bore. Half past seven, saw the Windsor Castle with her foretop-mast shot away, the firing rather slackened. The fog clearing a little, saw one of the enemy with her main and mizen-masts gone, having struck to the Malta, running out of the line. The Windsor Castle appears to have suffered considerably, but continued fighting gloriously. The firing continued; the horizon appeared like a line of vivid lightning. Three quarters past nine the firing ceased, made sail to join the fleet; people still at quarters. At ten we spoke the Glory, who requested us to take charge of two captured vessels; bore up for them; spoke the Thunderer, she informed us of her having six men killed and seventeen wounded; bore away for the prizes and boarded one of them, found her in a most terrible situation, having 150 men killed and 40 wounded; next day took her in tow. They are both Spaniards; one of them an 80 gun ship, and the other a 74. On board of the two captured ships were altogether, 500 men killed and wounded. The British fleet not above 50 killed in the whole, and not many more wounded. We left sir Robert Calder in expectation of attacking the enemy again very soon, and he dispatched us and the Syrius frigate, with each of us a prize in tow, for England, to the regret of every body on board, with the Windsor Castle, which is disabled.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19.
Several officers of the late frigate Philadelphia, once more happily restored to their country, have arrived in this city. (Wash. Fed.)
A commercial friend wishes us again to notify the arrival of the Diana, from Liverpool; and to inform our friends that the Fame from Liverpool is reported to be in the bay—and that the Perseverance from London, and the Louisiana, and the Eliza, from Liverpool, may be expected in a few days. [Balt. Evening Post.]
The following account of a melancholy Catastrophe has been received from a respectable source, and vouched for as a true statement: [Balt. Fed. Gaz.] On Wednesday evening, about the hour of eleven, Mr. Lindsey, mate of the ship Persia, called at the lodgings of Mr. Chamberlain, midshipman on board the United States' brig Hornet, and desired him to take a walk, taking him at the same time by the lapel of the coat. Mr. Chamberlain walked a few paces with Mr. Lindsey, when Mr. Lindsey struck him with his fist, and kicked him several times. Mr. Chamberlain immediately drew a pistol from his side, and shot Mr. Lindsey thro' the head—the ball passed just above his left eye, and lodged in the brain. After the above had taken place, Mr. Chamberlain immediately gave himself up to capt. Chauncey.
The ship Calpa, capt. Jones of and from this port for Gibraltar, is captured and carried into Algeziras, and it is expected the cargo, not having the Spanish consuls certificate attached to the invoice, will be condemned. A letter which we have seen states, that five other American vessels are at Algeziras, carried in under the same pretext, and likely will share the same fate.
Mercantile caution will naturally adopt the best modes of protecting their property—but we do think that in general it is better policy to carry no protections, which our government cannot furnish. [Charleston Times.]
A letter from Bermuda to a gentleman in this place, states that advices have been received from England, which says that an act of parliament had passed, making Bermuda a free-port for the admission of salt provisions from the United States, from whence the colonies in the W. Indies are to be supplied. The date of the advices from England are said to be of the 10th June, we therefore must doubt the correctness of the information, as our advices are down to the 20th July, and no mention is made of any such act; the debate in the house of Lords, published in this day's paper, is sufficient to prove that no such act had passed before that debate, because if it had, the speaker could not well help noticing it in the course of their arguments. [Ibid.]
