PARIS, Sept. 21.
In consequence of the many diversions to which the complimentary days give occasion, politics are entirely forgotten here for some days, and even the journals appear very irregular. The concourse at the exhibitions at the Louvre, is particularly great in the evening, on account of the beautiful illuminations.
The Russian ambassador, count Markow, prince Dolgoruky, and the Russian colonel, baron Nikant, arrived here almost at the same time, from St. Petersburg.
The prefect of the department of Le-man, and B. Dolomier, have set out for Geneva, to lay the foundation stone for the hospital and house of entertainment, which the first consul has directed to be built on the top of the Simolon. They will at the same time visit Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe, which according to the latest calculations, is elevated 2426 fathoms (toises) above the surface of the sea, while the Peake of Teneriffe is only 2000, and Mount Etna, in Sicily, only 1072 toises higher than the sea. Only the Cordilliers, in America, are higher than Mount Blanc.
LONDON, October 3.
FRENCH CLERGY.
Extract of a letter from Rome, Aug. 29.
"The Concordat, agreed upon between the Pope and the First Consul, had for its object to re-establish in France the public worship of the Catholic Church. The Sovereign Pontiff explained himself formally, & the French Minister Cacault has made no mystery of it. The Cardinal Caprara, appointed Legate a latere to see the Concordat executed, is to take his route through the Tyrol, and enter France by the way of Alsace. The promulgation of the Bull will not take place till he arrives in Paris. He will reside there for about a year to consolidate the business. This intelligence is authentic; but what now follows has not the same degree of authenticity, because the First Consul has threatened to withdraw his signature, if the clauses of the Concordat should be published before it was officially promulgated.
"There is mention of a general resignation of all the French Bishops. The Pope takes upon him to demand that the old Prelates, and the First Consul will oblige the new to conform to the proposition.
"The Episcopal Sees will be filled up by persons presented to them by the First Consul, and confirmed by the Pope, as has been done in France before the Revolution. The Curates are to be appointed by the Bishops and Prefects jointly. The Catholic Religion is to be recognized as that of the Majority of the French, its ministers to have salaries, and a sanction is to be given to the sale of the ecclesiastical property. The form of the engagement to be taken is to be—We promise fidelity to the Government of the French Republic, as established by the Constitution."
"The Jesuits of Spain, who had last year permission to return to their country, have since received counterorders. The Pope has granted to those of Russia a new brief, which confirms their general and their institution, establishes them throughout the whole of the Empire upon the same footing that they were before their dissolution, notwithstanding any bull, brief, &c. to the contrary. They are also restored in Sardinia, some parts of Italy, and in Rome, with a numerous body of noviciates.
There are two houses of them in France—the one at Paris, the other at Rouen. The institution bears the title of the Society of the Faith of Jesus. The Abbe De Broglie is gone to found a seminary of them in England, but we understand that the old Jesuits do not acknowledge this establishment, and consider its members only as bastard Jesuits."
VIENNA, Sept. 19.
In the night of the 17th, count Lerois de Cobentzel arrived here from Paris, and yesterday went to the emperor in the country. At his audience of leave, the first consul presented him with an elegant set with diamonds, and likewise a pair for the Order of St. Stephen, of which he is Grand Cross. Both are estimated at 100,000 florins. It will now soon be decided who is to be chief Chancellor.
In the higher articles, it is reported that the court of London, in the negotiations with France, has proposed "to restore the
kingdom of Austria in favor of the Archduke Ferdinand, as a secundo-geniture of the house of Austria, and that the same was to consist of the ci-devant Belgium, the bishoprick of Liege, Aix la Chapelle, Stablo, and Malmedy."
On the 16th in the presence of the emperor, the first stone was laid for the new bridge over our arm in the Danube.
MILAN. Sept. 12.
The king of Etruria has appointed the marquis Viviano, a friend of the count Ventura, the prime minister. Besides the loan of 100,000 scudi of the city of Florence, he has demanded another of 150,000 of the city of Leghorn.
At Leghorn, the corps of Poles marched out, and arrested several persons who rejoiced too loud at the misfortune of the two French frigates, the Succès and the Bravour. The continuation of the siege of Porto Ferrajo suffers thereby very much, and the commanders of that garrison have declared, "that they will not give up the place until a formal written resignation of the archduke Ferdinand was produced to them."
LEGHORN, Sept. 6.
The frigates, which have now disappeared from our neighborhood, have carried off with them the French frigate Succès, which together with 6 transports, which were to carry provisions and ammunition to the island Elba, fell into their hands. The French army before Porto Ferrajo, is thereby put into a great deal of distress, being in want of every necessary, and the barren island can furnish them with no subsistence.
The French frigate Bravour, which was wrecked, cannot be saved. The French are saving the cannon out of her, but the wreck will be abandoned to the sea.

NEW-YORK, November 19.
Extract of a letter from the editor of the Savannah Museum, to his correspondent in New-York, dated
Savannah, Oct. 18.
"Since I wrote to you last, I have experienced a great deal of trouble and anxiety. Wishing to do equal justice to all parties, and to conduct our paper with impartiality we gave admission to a number of pieces on both sides of the question. At the particular request of two young men of ant federal politics, though much against our own inclination, we published an extract from the Aurora, containing some remarks unfavorable to the character of general Gunn. This drew forth an answer from a friend of the general, under the signature of Q, who enjoined upon us secrecy, as to the author. After this publication, the young men just mentioned waited upon us, to know who was the writer of it; his name, of course, we refused to give up, and they left us, though very much dissatisfied. In the evening I went to the post-office, and, whilst I was waiting for the papers, gen. Jackson stepped in, and shortly after, entering into conversation with me, began a long harangue, which he ended in praising his own exploits during the American revolution, and declaring that the country (and this state in particular) was indebted to him for its independence. He then observed to me that, when I came to Savannah, I was a good republican, to which I replied, that my principles were the same now that they ever had been; he contradicted me, and said that I was in British pay. To so direct an affront I gave him the lie, upon which he threatened to break my head. I prepared myself for the attack, but after his making a great noise, the scene closed for the evening. The two young men before spoken of are aids to gen. Jackson, and were by him, no doubt, instigated to their subsequent conduct; for, after the affair with the general, they again called upon us and demanded the author of Q. We persisted in our refusal, when one of them made an attack upon me with a loaded horsewhip, while I was unarmed. I was fortunate enough to reman the blow, and had an opportunity of handling him pretty roughly."
"After this they collected a mob, presented their pistols to my breast, threatening to pull down our house, and to heave the types into the river, if we did not instantly give up the author's name: but they were soon opposed by more than an equal number respectable citizens; which occasioned them to disperse in a terrible rage. They collected a third time, but finding the respectable part of the inhabi-
tants determined to protect us they moved off, still swearing vengeance."
"Next day there was a meeting called of republicans, as they are pleased to stile themselves, at which, among other propositions that were made, one was that no printer in the state of Georgie should be allowed to print any thing against the President. Gen. JACKSON attended this meeting, and was appointed one of a committee to draft rules and organize a society in each county of the state, for the purpose of carrying into execution the above plan."
BALTIMORE, November 25.
THE LATEST.
Yesterday afternoon arrived, the ship Severance, captain Bryden, in thirty-four days from London, bringing news to the 14th of October.
TREATY OF PEACE
Between the French Republic and the Kingdom of Portugal.
The first consul of the French republic, in the name of the French people and his royal highness the prince regent of the kingdom of Portugal and Algarva, equally animated with the desire of establishing those relations of commerce and amity which subsisted between both states previous to the war, have determined to conclude a treaty of peace, through the mediation of his Catholic majesty, and have appointed for this purpose the following plenipotentiaries, viz.
The first consul has nominated, in the name of the French people, citizen Lucien Buonaparte, and his royal highness the prince regent of the kingdom of Portugal and Algarva, his excellency Cypriano Ribeiro Freire, commander of the order of Christ, one of the council of his royal highness, and his minister plenipotentiary to his Catholic majesty; which plenipotentiaries, after having exchanged their respective powers, have agreed upon the following articles:
I. There shall be from henceforth peace, friendship and good understanding, between the French republic and the kingdom of Portugal. All hostilities, both by land and sea, shall cease immediately after the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty; that is to say, within fifteen days in Europe and the seas which bound it and the coast of Africa on this side of the Equator; within forty days after the aforesaid ratifications in the territories and seas of America and Africa on the other side of the Equator; and 3 months after in all the territories and seas to the westward of Cape Horn, and to the east of the Cape of Good Hope. All the prizes made after these respective periods, in the latitudes mentioned, shall be respectively restored. The prisoners on each side shall be restored, and the same political relations re-established between the two powers as existed before the war.
II. All the ports and roads of Portugal in Europe shall immediately be shut, and continue so until the conclusion of peace between France and England, against all English vessels, both of war and trade; and the said ports and roads shall be open to all the vessels of war and trade belonging to the French republic and her allies.
As to the ports and roads of Portugal in other parts of the world, the present article shall be obligatory within the periods above fixed for the cessation of hostilities.
III. Portugal engages not to furnish, during the course of the present war, to the enemies of the French republic and her allies, any succours in troops, vessels, arms, ammunition, provisions, or money of any kind, or in any manner whatever. All anterior acts, engagements, or conventions, contrary to the present article, shall be revoked, and regarded as null and void.
IV. The boundaries of the French and Portuguese Guyana shall be determined in future by the river Carapanatuba, which flows into the river Amazon, about a third of a degree north latitude, above Fort Macapa. These limits shall follow the course of the river to its source, whence they shall take a direction to the grand chain of mountains which divide the course of the river; they shall follow the windings of that chain to the point nearest to Rio Branco, between the second and third degree north of the Equator.
The Indians of the two Guyanas, who in the course of the war may have been carried off from their habitations, shall be respectively restored.
The citizens or subjects of the two powers, who may be comprised within the
new determination of the limits, may reciprocally retire to the possessions of their respective states. They shall likewise have power to dispose of their property, moveable and immovable, for a period of two years, to be computed from the day of exchanging the ratifications of the present treaty.
V. A treaty of commerce shall be negotiated between the two powers, to establish in a definitive manner the commercial relations between France and Portugal, in the mean time is agreed upon—
First—That the communication shall be re-established immediately after the exchange of the ratifications, and that the agents and factors of commerce shall, on each side, be restored to the possession of the rights, immunities, and prerogatives which they enjoyed before the war.
Secondly—That the citizens and subjects of the two powers shall equally and reciprocally enjoy in the states of both, all the rights which those of the most favored nations enjoy.
Thirdly—That the commodities and merchandise produced from the soil or manufactures of each of the two powers, shall be admitted reciprocally, without restriction, and without being liable for any duty which would not equally affect the commodities and merchandise of a similar nature imported by other nations.
Fourthly—That the French cloths may be immediately imported into Portugal, on the footing of the most favored merchandise.
Fifthly—That in other points all the stipulations inserted in the preceding articles, and not contrary to the present treaty, shall be provisionally executed until the conclusion of a treaty of definitive commerce.
VI. The ratifications of the present treaty shall be exchanged at Madrid within the term of 20 days at farthest.
Exchanged by duplacata, the 7th Vendemiaire in the 10 year of the French republic, (29th September, 1801.)

The only articles of moment by this arrival, which will be found in the preceding page, are a treaty of peace between France and Portugal, and a proclamation of his Britannic majesty, declaring a cessation of arms.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Gibraltar, to a friend in Providence, dated Sept. 14.
"The Americans now here are waiting for further intelligence from the commodore of the American squadron, before they proceed up the Mediterranean. I expect the news by him will be a peace with Tripoli. We have advice here, that the Bashaw had already desired capt. Dale to meet him in Tripoli, to negotiate terms of peace. Dale very wisely, however, declined trusting himself in the hands of so treacherous an enemy, and replied that he would receive proposals on board his own ship, but would not land. They had not taken a single American the 15th of last month, which are the latest accounts from the commodore. As for the Algerines, you need feel no apprehensions on their score. They have not declared war; and the ship Washington, which failed in company with a vessel arrived here four days since, has on board the tribute for them. This will stop their threats."
"The two Tripolitans which I mentioned in my first letter as being here, still remain laid up and deserted by their crews and commanders, who had such a dread of
the American frigates as prevented their even attempting to go out. Their remaining force, according to the last accounts, was only five vessels, mounting altogether sixty-four guns, and having 420 men. Of these, one of 16 guns and 80 men is captured, and it is hard if with three frigates and a schooner the remaining four cannot be kept in order. You may say they can equip more. They have, it is true, more small vessels; but cannot, according to the consul's account, who resided there, get men enough for them. I hope, however, we shall hear more from them soon, when you may rely on receiving the truth from me. If there is really danger, I will not deceive you in concealing it."
FROM THE PALLADIUM.
THE RESTORATOR.
AMERICAN LITERATURE.
IT is a general complaint, that literature, in this country, is little encouraged, and that learning meets not with its due rewards. But though the truth of the observation cannot be denied, yet, considering the inferiority of our means, compared with those of older countries, I think it is more the subject of regret than of complaint.
The first object, in a new country, is to obtain the necessaries of life; persevering industry will procure its conveniences; but its luxuries are to be attained only by skillful agriculture and a flourishing commerce. Hence nations must become, in a degree, wealthy, before they become learned: For learning, however desirable is, after all, rather a luxury and an ornament, than a necessary of life.
After a nation has grown rich, education becomes an important object of attention; and the superfluous wealth of individuals is often judiciously expended to encourage literature and the arts. Colleges are founded and endowed, learning is encouraged and rewarded, readers are multiplied, and consequently books; a correct taste is cultivated, and the nation reaches the highest pitch of civilization. Such is the present situation of Great-Britain, and such, previously to the ravages of Vandalism, was the situation of France. The laborious Germans are pursuing the same track, and though less mercurial, may possibly in time arrive at the same eminence.
In America our seminaries are more slenderly endowed, and few of their professorships hold out any great temptations to avarice or ambition. Where learning is neither honorable nor lucrative, it cannot flourish. Though this is not precisely the case in this country, it is so in a great degree: and there are few men even of moderate talents, who long continue tutors in an American University. They generally undertake the task but for a short time, till they are established in some business or profession, where the emolument is less scanty. Our tutors, therefore, are necessarily a succession of tyros; who, in many instances, attempt to teach what they themselves have but imperfectly learnt. I am far from intending any censure of existing institutions. I mean merely to state facts, and trace some of the causes from which proceed our comparative inferiority in literature.
In Europe, boys continue seven and eight years at a grammar school, where a broad and deep foundation is laid for a solid structure of learning, and seldom enter the University till they have reached their eighteenth year. In America we are much more expeditious; and I am told that a gentleman now high in office, qualified himself for college by the preparatory study of six months. Education, thus rapidly dispatched, must consequently be superficial, and we must adopt a different system if we are ambitious of rivaling the literati of Europe. But we must first gain wealth and liberality greatly to encrease the establishment of our Universities.
Notwithstanding the humiliating theory of a visionary philosopher, there are no physical causes to prevent the American genius from reaching the highest eminence in the arts and sciences. In proportion to its opportunities, it has already exhibited as much talent and intellectual energy as the more highly cultivated genius of Europe. When we shall be as well able to reward the labours of learning, we shall doubtless, be as learned. When learning shall be rewarded with distinguished honours and lucrative offices, men of genius will employ themselves in its cultivation, and America may then expect to have her exploits recorded by some native Livy, and sung by some native Homer. But
this desirable event will not be accelerated by compiling Columbian dictionaries, or by inventing a jargon called the Columbian language. All such attempts will retard the progress of literature, and must tend, as far as they have influence, to carry us back to the dark ages.
In the interim, let us not be dissatisfied with our situation, but endeavor to improve it as our ability encreases. Many improvements have already been made in some of our Universities, and though much remains to be done, yet much has been done. If our knowledge is not so bulky as that of Europe, it is, however, spread over a much wider surface, and no body of peasantry in the world, I believe, has so much useful and general information, on the most interesting subjects, as the free and enlightened yeomanry of New-England.
To aid the cause of virtue and religion. We cannot supply the monitorial department better than with the following extract from an excellent letter, which was written by F. G. Stedman, a military gentleman, when dangerously ill, to be delivered after his death to his son.
[Balance.]
"My dear John, "As the last good I can do for you in this world, I join to the trifles I leave to you, these few directions, which I beg of you to read for my sake who always loved you. Above all things fear God, as the supreme author of all good; love him with all your heart, and be religious, but detest every tincture of hypocrisy. Regard your neighbour, that is, all mankind, of whatever nation, profession, or faith, while they are honest; and be ever so yourself, is the best policy in the end, depend upon it. Guard against indolence, it is the root of every evil; to which bad company gives the finishing stroke. Love economy without avarice, and be ever thyself thy best friend."
Fly from intemperance and debauchery, they will rot thy body, while they will be a canker to thy mind: to keep both found, allow thyself never to be behind-hand with thy correspondents, with thy creditors, with thy daily occupation, and thy soul shall enjoy peace. By using moderate diet, exercise, and recreation, thy body shall possess health and vigor. Dear John, should fortune frown, which depend upon it the some times will, do then look round on thousands more wretched than thyself, and who, perhaps, did less deserve to be so, and be content—contentment is better than gold.——With not for death, because it is a sin; but scorn to fear it; be prepared for each hour, since come it must; while the good mind smiles at its sting, and defies through Christ, its point. Beware of passion and cruelty; the bravest men are always the most humane. Rejoice in good nature, not only to man, but to the meanest insect, yea to the whole creation; scorn to hurt any living being, but for thy food or thy defence. To be cruel is the portion of the coward; while to be brave and humane goes hand in hand, and pleases God. Obeys as your duty those who are set over you; since, without knowing how to be obedient, none never knew how to command."
