CONSTANTINOPLE, JANUARY 6. Rescript addressed by the Grand Seignior to the Grand Vizier, on the 27th of December, 1806.
"You are my prime minister, endowed with wisdom, and vested with unlimited powers. May the Divine Providence and Grace, which are so necessary to mankind in all their undertakings, and the aid and support of the God, ever attend you! It has been represented in the Grand Divan, lately held in the presence of all the Viziers, Ulemas and Chiefs of the corps of Janissaries, that the perfidious Russians have most unexpectedly broken the treaties which they had concluded with us, inasmuch as they have taken possession of the fortresses of Bender and Choczim, by which they have given a demonstrative proof that the malicious and perfidious designs which they have long cherished, and on various occasions manifested towards the Mussulman people, have not ceased to actuate them. The law, and the purport of the resolution adopted by the Divan, therefore, impose upon me the indispensable duty to issue a declaration of hostilities against this faithless race, which accords also with the unanimous sentiments of the Divan and the nation. Having, therefore, in the first place, invoked the assistance of God the Almighty, who has from nonentity called us into existence, and the protection of the prophet Mahomet, the object of our praises and the founder of our law, we have given orders to declare war against the Russians, placing our whole reliance in the favor and providence of God. For the rest, every one is sufficiently acquainted with the ancient enmity of the Russians towards the Mussulmen. The instances of perfidy and treachery which they have so recently displayed, enjoins it as a duty upon every subject of the Porte, whether civil or military, who profess the Mussulman faith, to take a part in this religious war; and as, agreeably to the resolution already taken, every preparation has been made for the speedy march of my army, under the happy shade of the Sangiak Scherif (the standard of Mahomet) I hereby appoint you generalissimo thereof, with unlimited powers. Under these circumstances, you will confide all your proceedings to the providence of God the Almighty, in like manner as I wholly entrust the Divine hand the protection of your person, and those of all the Viziers, Ulemas, Janissaries high and low, and also all the faithful warriors, who accompany you in this religious contest. My renowned ancestors, supported by the ardent zeal of their Viziers, Ministers, Janissaries and other warriors, and by means of the skilful measures with which they opposed the enemy, re-conquered and took possession of these provinces. I therefore entertain a confident expectation, that at the present juncture you will manifest the same zeal, and collect the necessary troops and supplies in order to hasten to the assistance of our brethren in religion, who are already engaged in hostilities with the enemy, in the fortresses situated near the enemy's frontier provinces. You must reinforce our fortresses, and deliver my subjects from all oppression. In what respects the supplies of ammunition and other military stores, you will concert measures only with the chiefs of provinces. You will occupy yourself day and night, with every object of attention which may be necessary, & expedite the departure for the army, of all my viziers, Janissaries, and others thereto belonging. Finally, you will, in your capacity of minister, with unlimited powers, also provide for the wants of the fleet, both in respect to men and stores. It will be your province to bestow adequate rewards on such as shall distinguish themselves, as well as to punish those who may forget their duty. May the Almighty God guard and protect you in all your undertakings."
JANUARY 10. At the beginning of last week Haled Effendi, the new ambassador from the Porte to the court of France, set out for the headquarters of the emperor Napoleon, from whence he will go to Paris to replace Mahab Effendi. He is accompanied by M. Joubert, M. Coignies, a French officer, and brother-in-law to Gen. Sebastian, the French ambassador, set out with him, and also the interpreter, M. des Granges. It is conjectured they will remain with the commander of the Turkish army on the Danube. It is stated that M. Lessner, aid-de-camp of general Sebastian, will repair to the army, which the Pacha of Erzerum, has orders to assemble, to protect the operations of the King of Persia against the Georgians. The prince of Suazo, for the second time received the dignity of hospodar of Wallachia, without power, however, to make any use of the appointment. The father of prince Ipsilanti is still in prison—we know not what fate awaits him. The Ottoman navy has lately received an accession of more than two thousand seamen, belonging to Ragusa,
Cattaro, and French or Italian Dalmatia, who, in consequence of the dangers to which their flag was exposed, were left here without employment, and for whom the French ambassador had engaged to make some provision. The Porte might, in the same manner, have obtained the services of several hundreds of the sailors belonging to Corfu, had they not been ordered off on the eve of the rupture, as dependents upon Russia. These persons were taken under protection by M. Arbuthnot, the English minister, and distributed on board the English ships of war.
The Porte has since thought proper to regard the subjects of the Seven Islands, in a different light. It has publicly declared that it considers them as under the protection of the Ottoman Porte, and as no longer subject to any other jurisdiction. It has, in consequence of this declaration, ordered their vessels, which were laid under embargo, to be restored. But a very few small Russian vessels were seized in consequence of this embargo, the rest having had time enough to effect their escape.
At Smyrna, the shipping experienced a greater degree of indulgence, a delay of three days having been granted for the sailing of the vessels in that port, from the date of the declaration of war.
The Russian frigates and transports bound to Corfu have also had time to effect their departure.
Copy of a letter from Mr. Arbuthnot, English ambassador to the Sublime Porte, to Mr. Hautvec, Dragoman to the said Porte.
PERA, Dec. 13, 1806.
SIR, From the few lines which I wrote to you this morning, to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday evening, you will have learnt the result of the disagreeable intelligence which has reached me of the circumstances which have occurred between the troops of the Sublime Porte and those of Russia. Since I wrote to you, I have had a conversation on this subject with chevalier Italinski. He regrets, as much as I do, this lamentable event; and of this sentiment he has already given you a proof, in the letter which he addressed to you.
In the situation, however, in which we find ourselves placed, being hitherto totally unacquainted with the motives of the incursion of the Russian troops, we can at this moment, whatever be the nature of this proceeding, do no more than lament the interruption of the good understanding which existed between the Sublime Porte and her allies. We are too well acquainted with the sentiments of both our courts, not to be assured that neither England nor Russia can be actuated by any hostile intention against Turkey. The entrance of the Russians must, therefore, as a necessary consequence, be regarded solely as a measure directed towards the security of the Sublime Porte; and the unfortunate event of which you apprised me in the letter alluded to, can only be attributed to one of those instances of misunderstanding, which no human prudence can prevent.
Complete explanations may be daily expected; and as the Sublime Porte has done me the honor to consult me, I should by no means act in conformity to the sentiments which my court is animated with respect to her, should I not take the earliest opportunity of declaring, that every consideration of prudence enjoins the observance of the same upright & discreet conduct which has of late reflected so much honor on the Ottoman ministry.
I have, however, no difficulty in admitting, that if the state of things should turn out to be such as has been represented, it is very natural that the Sublime Porte should be extremely dissatisfied but must be too well acquainted with the justice of the Russian emperor, not to be convinced that his imperial majesty will be the first to express his disapprobation of any act of hostility committed against Turkey by his officers. The Porte is too enlightened not to perceive, that the slightest indication of displeasure with Russia, can under existing circumstances have no other effect than that of plunging this empire into the midst of the dangers in which France has, for so long a period, and from so many sinister motives, endeavored to involve her.
I have felt myself highly flattered by the honor which the Porte has conferred upon me, in applying for my mediation. I consider this step as a convincing proof of the justice which it does me; and this must supply me with an additional motive to endeavor to accomplish whatever may accord with his wishes.
Upon this occasion, however, such an
offer as that which the Sublime Porte has proposed to me would not only be unnecessary, but also misplaced; for never have I heard from the lips of any Russian ambassador any other sentiments than those which I myself entertain; & I have never remarked in him any other desire than that of preventing every thing which could tend to excite a misunderstanding between the two courts.
I must thus wait for some other occasion of demonstrating to the Sublime Porte the friendship which I feel towards her, in my character of representative of her most faithful ally. I may venture to assert, that no event can take place of such a description as not to afford the means of making more and more manifest, that the king has no other views than that of being useful to his highest the Sultan, and that the engagements mutually entered into with the emperor of Russia have no other object than to contribute to the security, the welfare and the glory of this empire.
I have the honor &c. (Signed) GH. ARBUTHNOT.
ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF GERMANY, By the commander in chief of the Imperial Russian Army.
By a long series of the most unfortunate events, your country has become a prey to the most cruel and insolent of foes. The manifold suffering to which you have been subjected are known to the emperor my most gracious sovereign; and his justice is so much the more disposed to take the warmest interest therein, as he himself has sprung from German blood; and mindful of the intimate ties which exist between his imperial house and many of the German princes, he has never ceased to entertain, with regard to the German nation, all that esteem to which a people, so numerous, enlightened and virtuous are justly entitled. With this sentiment of the warmest interest in the fate of Germany, are naturally and inseparably conjoined his majesty's wishes to deliver this empire from its oppressors, and restore it to its just freedom and independence.—His majesty will think no exertion too laborious to attain this great object.
Inhabitants of Germany! the whole Russian army fights for your interests! Under these circumstances so favorable, shall you alone remain inactive?—Shall you be so blinded, as in the present state of things, to do nothing for yourselves?
The enemy is at a great distance from his frontiers, in territories, and at a season of the year, which not only do not afford him sufficient means of supply, but also impede all his operations. Will you voluntarily contribute to his relief? Will you act against your own interests? Forget not that you have all possible and to expect from the brave army entrusted to my command. I trust that I shall victoriously drive back the common enemy of Europe, and convince him that there still remains a people, who, faithful to their country and their monarch, have both the inclination and the power to resist the imposition of his iron yoke. But however probable this success may be, his majesty will still regard it as incomplete, so long as the foe shall not be driven back beyond his natural boundaries; and as this is the only means of restoring the independence of your country, and obtaining a general peace upon secure foundations, his imperial majesty relies with the fullest confidence, that at this finally decisive crisis, the inhabitants of Germany will not only lend no kind of support to the common foe, but, on the contrary, that they will, by a general resistance, render his further stay in Germany impracticable, and throw every possible difficulty in the way of his retreat towards his own frontiers. By this intimate union of the whole Russian force with all the means of the German empire, the common object may be attained, and peace, so anxiously desired, be once more restored to suffering Europe.
Take courage then, brave and virtuous Germans. Reflect on the immortal renown of your ancestors, who in former ages, maintained their independence with the most signal bravery. Unite yourselves under the colours of such of your princes, in whom the unfortunate events of our times have not yet extinguished a sense of honor, and of their own dignity. To this grand and noble purpose of delivering your country from a foreign yoke, sacrifice every private quarrel, every consideration of internal discord, and then shall you compose a formidable whole, capable not only of disputing every inch of ground with the common enemy, but also of ultimately vanquishing and repelling him for ever within his natural frontier.
"In your efforts to attain so glorious an object, you may rely with the fullest confidence on the powerful and continued assistance of the emperor; my most gracious sovereign. The universal
acknowledged principles of his imperial majesty afforded you a guarantee, that not only will his majesty not abandon you in the present struggle, but that on the happy termination thereof, he will particularly direct his attention to the restoration of your country, which for a succession of centuries rendered your forefathers the happiest people on the face of the earth, and which could only be destroyed by the domineering ambition of the enemy, who makes no scruple of treading under foot the most sacred treaties."
"Given at the Imperial Russian head quarters."
(Signed) "BARON VON BENINGSEN, General of cavalry, military governor of Lithuania, &c. &c."
The following address has been circulated at the out posts of the French army.
Soldiers of France; formerly, when foreign armies meditated the conquest of your country, and came even in the bosom of your land to attack you, you repelled them with a valor and perseverance which the whole world admired. The report of your brilliant exploits reached even us. Your courage, your loyalty, was known to us, and the soldiers of France became the objects of our esteem. But it is no longer your country which demands your efforts. A war foreign to your interests tears you from your families, your friends, your homes. A tyrant, whose insatiable ambition knows no bounds, drags you into distant climates, and sheds the blood of Frenchmen, that he may bestow crowns upon his relations. He forces you to combat against people who are ready to offer you pledges of their ardent affection, but who will let the least drop of their blood in the sacred cause of their country.
(Signed) BEN. NGSEN.

PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Thursday, March 5.
CATHOLICS.
(DEBATE CONCLUDED.)
MR. PERCIVAL rose, not so much to object to the particular measure which was proposed, as to express his fear that this was but the beginning of a system which would, in its consequences, be highly dangerous to the constitution and Protestant establishment of this country. He perceived that, step by step, and from day to day, they were bringing forward measures which, he thought, must end in the total repeal of tests in this country. He therefore considered this bill as a partial repeal of the test act. He could not consider that it would be for the interest of Ireland, as he was firmly persuaded that nothing was more important for the welfare of Ireland than a Protestant establishment, and a Protestant ascendancy. There was no man who was a greater friend to toleration than himself, or who would more wish that every person should have the free exercise of his religion; but it was because he was a friend to toleration that he did not wish to favor a religion which had been always intolerant when in power, to the prejudice of the established religion, which had always practiced toleration. It was always on the ground of toleration that those innovations were brought forward. One day, was called upon to grant a considerable sum of money to elucidate priests, for the purpose of preaching the Catholic religion to 3,000,000 of people, and the next day they were called on to grant still further concessions. The reasoning of the honorable gentlemen, who supported those perpetual concessions, appeared to rest on this principle, that one religion is very nearly as good as another, and that, therefore, no man's religion should disqualify him from political power. They seemed to think that the reformation itself was a mere political measure. The noble lord (Howick) had professed the most decided and absolute preference to the established religion, but still had voted for the granting funds to the preachers of the catholic religion. Many might suppose that, this was quite agreeable, not only to liberality of sentiment, but to sound policy, but he entertained an opinion directly contrary. There was no man, however, who less than himself would wish to restrain the Catholic religion; there was no man who was more firmly convinced that no greater crime could be committed by one man against another than to deprive him of the means of paying homage to his Creator in the manner that he judged would be the most acceptable. The noble lord, in proposing that the army and navy should be open to the Catholics, as it was held out to them by the act of 1793, first argued on the monstrosity of inconveniences from the Catholics being excluded, and next on the absurdity of catholic officers being prevented by law from performing the duties of their situation in this country. As to the first ground, he would say they were not excluded, but were in point of fact admitted into the army, both as privates and as officers; and as to the second, he altogether denied the law which had been laid down by the noble lord, for he could not avoid declaring it as his decided opinion, that if an Irish catholic officer were to come over to this country by the orders of his majesty, which he was bound to obey under the penalty of being shot for disobedience, the mutiny act, which made it his duty to come over, would indemnify him from the consequences to which it was said that he would be liable. The law of Ireland must be supposed to be as well understood by the united parliament as the law of England, and therefore, as a member of that parliament, he could say that the mutiny act of this country would make such officer safe from penalties. Besides this, in practice there was no sort of inconvenience, as the annual indemnity act was a sufficient security to those officers who had not been qualified. His principal objection to this concession was, that he did not know where these concessions were to stop. It was not merely in the army that grievances of this sort existed. In the profession to which he belonged, there were catholics, who might equally feel sure that they could never rise to the situation of Chancellors and Judges. He perceived, however, that the gentlemen on the other side seemed to consider that this also was a hardship; he would wish to ask them, where they meant to stop, or what offices were to be withheld from catholics? If they might fill every other office in the state, why might not the crown also be borne by a catholic? If, however, all the civil offices in the state were thrown open to them, they would not then be content. It would be out of the nature of things that they should be content,

unless they were given also an established church. Since then the system of concession must either come to a conclusion that would be dangerous to the existing government, or must be resisted to the last, in which case it might be as well to make the present occasion, as a good opportunity to the measure proposed this night as to the consequence which would follow from them. He would rather that all the claims of the Catholics should come before parliament at once, than that their hopes should be perpetually fed by successive making concessions. He thought that the noble lord was inconsistent in first saying, that the army and navy were at present filled with Irish Catholics, and afterwards stating that this measure was necessary to get them into our army. He must first decide, that if an invasion was attempted in Ireland, he would have by no means the same confidence in catholic officers and catholic crews, as he would on church of England officers and sailors, and for that reason he did not wish any alteration in the present regulations, but at the same time he must repeat that his objection was not so much to the measure, as to the consequences that he expected to follow from it. Those consequences were, as he thought, so full of danger to our constitution and establishment, that it was necessary to alarm the house and the country, in order to avoid those dangers. It was necessary for the purpose of calling the serious attention of the house to the subject, that he had offered an observation in the first stage of the business.
LORD BENTINCK said, that he had not the satisfaction of being in the House when his noble friend (Lord Howick) had made his speech in introducing his motion; but he had the most intense of hearing from the learned gentleman on the other side, a speech which he was astonished at hearing in the House in which we now live, and which he would have thought fitter for the dark ages. This learned gentleman, however, professed his love of toleration, and he only wished that he would in this respect have reduced his theory to practice. He had supposed, that if an invasion of Ireland were to take place, no dependence could be placed on Catholic officers or soldiers, and therefore wished to exclude them from what, upon general reasoning, must be considered as their right. To him it appeared that there could be nothing which was likely to operate so much to prevent the Catholics from joining the king's troops to repel invasion, as to tell them, that there was very little dependence upon them, and that on that account they were not considered as equal, fit to be trusted with the rest of his majesty's subjects. The hon. and learned gentleman had said, "if you don't give them the establishment, you are doing nothing, and they will not thank you." They, however, had expressly disclaimed any wish to disturb the church establishment. He could not conceive upon what system of reasoning or policy the hon. and learned gentleman's objections were founded; but he thought it sufficient to call the attention of the house to that which was now proposed; and which, so far from being (as he conceived) attended with danger, would be an effectual means of strengthening the loyalty and attachment of the Catholics of Ireland.
MR. YORK said, that he was not an intention of giving opposition to the measure which had been proposed; but he considered that the noble lord (Lord Temple) ought not to have been so much surprised at observing some jealousy in the house, when so great an innovation was proposed. As to the expression, "a speech fit for the dark ages," he thought that no one who knew the great talents and enlightened mind of his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Percival) could suppose that any speech of his could deserve such a description. Gentlemen might call the bill of rights, and the act of settlement, acts of "the dark ages;" but he hoped the House considered them with great respect. He could not forget the lamentable events of 1798—and he should have been much more ready to vote any boon to the Irish Catholics before that time than he was now. As for the English Catholics, they had undergone a long purgation, and their loyalty was well tried; he should, therefore, think that privileges might be extended to them, which could not safely be given to the Catholics of Ireland.
MR. MONTAGUE spoke reconsiderable length against the motion. He supposed the case of Catholic priests being chaplains on board men of war, and religious controversies to take place among the sailors. He adverted to the riots of 1780, and called upon the noble lord (Howick) and the proposers of the bill, to take care that their houses were not pulled down, and their persons endangered by such another mob.
MR. FREEMANTLE observed, that he never had been the least intention of introducing Catholic clergy on board the ships of war, and that therefore there was no likelihood of those religious controversies in the navy. This bill certainly would not militate either with the bill of rights, or the act of settlement.
MR. COCHRANE observed, that the revolution had two distinct objects. Religion was one of them; but the maintenance of our civil and political liberties was another object fully as material. This latter object would always be kept in view by a British parliament, and watched with an eternal jealousy, for there was an eternal principle in the minds of men in power which would overbear the liberties of the country,
if it were not perpetually checked by the proper and constitutional jealousy of that House. Whatever dangers there might be at the time of the revolution, of a popish family being placed upon the throne, and of popery being established as the religion of the country, no rational man could apprehend such danger now.
MR. HAWKINS BROWNE was against farther concessions to the Irish Catholics, from whom nothing was now withheld except political power. He thought the Catholics of England were at least entitled to all the advantages which those of Ireland now enjoy.
LORD HOWICK made a very animated reply. He was surprised at the course which had been taken by the gentlemen on the other side, and which was intended, by their own confession, merely to raise an alarm, which they hoped to spread over the House and the country. This alarm certainly could not be excited by any thing that was in the bill, but could only be raised by such inflammatory language as had been used that night. This bill was only a corollary which followed from the bill passed in the Irish Parliament in 1793, and the pledge at that time given to the Catholics. As to the law of the hon. and learned gentleman (Mr. Percival) he must excuse him if he did not always subscribe to it, and particularly his opinion about the effect of compulsory service: for he recollected, that his opinion respecting the volunteers was different from the intentions of the legislators who brought it in, and from the true construction of the act as declared by the court of King's Bench. For his part, he doubted very much whether by law catholic officers were, even in Ireland, entitled to the same privileges that they were before the union. At that time, Ireland had an army of its own, for which the Irish Parliament could legislate; but since the union it had no separate army, and it appeared to him that it was very doubtful whether by law Catholics could be officers even in Ireland. The learned gentleman, Mr. Percival, had declared himself a friend to toleration, and from the goodness of his understanding and of his heart, he believed him sincere; but it was a very partial toleration whereby restraints or disqualifications were attached to the exercise of a particular form of religious worship. He was not afraid of the revival of the riots of 1780, or of his house or person being attacked; but if any thing could produce such an effect, it would be that spirit which had manifested itself in some part of the present discussion. It was a spirit of bigotry which produced the disgraceful scenes of 1780, and one of the disastrous consequences which had been predicted from concessions to the Catholics, either here or in Ireland, had taken place. He did not, however, bring in this bill as a concession to the Catholics, but as a thing good in itself, and likely to be serviceable to the army. Leave was then given to bring in the bill, and Lord Howick immediately brought it up. It was read a first time, and ordered to be printed, and read a second time this day se'night.
LONDON, MARCH 23. It seems at length settled that we are to have a new administration, and that the duke of Portland has made great progress in, if not completely concluded, the new ministerial arrangement.
The dispatches which government received from Ireland on Saturday last, are stated to be of a very unfavorable nature; the country in the north are in a state of awful discontent. Never indeed did the country require a more delicate management. And we must add, the duke of Bedford, who is about to be recalled, is stated to be as generally beloved as his eager attention to public affairs, and his exertions in the cause of Ireland, so well merit.
Dispatches from admiral Stirling, who commands in the River Plate, we understand, were received at the admiralty this morning. They are said to announce the arrival of the troops under sir Samuel Auchmuty.
Some scattered Dutch journals have reached town since our last, but their contents are not important. They state that the towns of Elbing, Marienburg and Marienwerder have been again occupied by the French, who are also in possession of the whole of the coast along the gulf of Frischhoff; but no considerable body of troops had arrived in the suburbs of Dantzick for the purpose of commencing the siege of that city. The reduction of Graudentz was, it was understood, to be effected before regular approaches were made against Dantzick. A large detachment of the Bavarian army and a corps of 6000 Saxons, were on the point of marching to join the grand army in Poland. A great number of troops in Italy were on their march through the Tyrol, for the purpose of effecting a junction with the grand army.

TRUE WISDOM. The Emperor of Russia has given a fresh instance of an enlightened mind, in an Ukase which has recently been issued at St. Petersburg, in favor of commerce. In order to give more consideration and distinction to commercial pursuits, the Ukase recommends the establishment of commercial companies. It allows the nobility to become members of the first and second classes of merchants, it being the anxious wish of the Emperor to draw closer the ties between these two descriptions of his subjects. Wholesale merchants may even aspire to the first offices of the state, and are to have the privilege of appearing
at court. Measures are also to be taken to preserve and perpetuate the names of the most eminent merchants, and transmit them with distinction to posterity.
BERLIN, MARCH 1. Another hostile column having arrived as Peterwalde, on the 25th gen. Beliar attacked it, repulsed it, & took 400 prisoners, among whom was gen. Von Korff, his staff, and other officers. The enemy's party, at first consisting of 10 battalions, were reduced to about sixteen hundred.
General Dombrowski, in marching against Dantzick, met the Prussian garrison there near Duschau, threw it into disorder, took 600 prisoners & 6 pieces of cannon; and pursued it several hours. Marshal Lefebvre has joined with his corps, which with the Saxons, are destined to blockade Dantzick.
WARSAW, FEBRUARY 28. According to the latest accounts, the Russian army still continues behind the Preges, where it had received a considerable reinforcement, and where they were throwing up intrenchments. From the 13th to the 18th, the French army was observed to be in motion, which gave indications of another general battle; but we have since learnt, that it was only meant to reconnoitre the position of the enemy. The Russian general Bennington, thinking that the French had weakened themselves on the Narew, to strengthen their grand army in East Prussia, gave orders to general Effen to make an attempt in that quarter, which, as is known, fell out to the disadvantage of the Russians near Ostrolenka.
The emperor Napoleon has ordered that the sieges of Dantzick, Colberg, and Graudentz, be carried on with all possible activity, to curb the numerous excursions which are made in the rear of the army. We hear that the operations against Dantzick & Graudentz have successfully commenced.
New engagements on the Narew took place on the 25th, if we may credit the intelligence of a courier who arrived here to day.
The baron St. Vincent is returned hither from Cracow, and has had constant interviews with the prince of Benevento ever since the 14th inst. Bides, couriers are daily dispatched to and received from Vienna.
FRONTIERS OF POMERANIA MARCH 6.
To-day we heard a violent cannonade from the environs of Stralsund. It is said that the Swedes have made a powerful sortie from that citadel. A part of marshall Mortier's corps is at present at Grimme; and two regiments of it have already passed through Greifswald on their route to Friedland, &c.
63d BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Ostrolenka, 24th Feb. 1807. Captain Auzelin, of the imperial horse guards, mortally wounded in the battle of Eylan, was lying upon the field of battle. His comrades came to take him up and carry him to the hospital. He recovered his senses only to say to them: "Let me alone, my friends; I am contented, since we have gained the day, and that I can die upon the bed of honor, surrounded by cannons taken from the enemy and the wrecks of their defeat. Tell the emperor that I have but one regret; which is, that in a few moments I shall be no longer able to do any thing for his service and the glory of our fine France—To her my last breath." The effort he made to utter these words, exhausted the little strength he had remaining.
All the reports we receive, agree in stating that the enemy lost at the battle of Eylan, twenty generals and 900 men killed and wounded, and upwards of 8000 men disabled.
At the engagement of Ostrolenka, of the 16th, two Russian generals were killed and three wounded.
His majesty has sent to Paris the 16 stands of colors taken at the battle of Eylau. All the cannon are already sent off to Thorn. His majesty has ordered that these cannons shall be melted down and made into a brazen statue of general Hautpault, commander of the 2d division of cuirassiers, in his uniform of cuirassier.
The army is concentrated in its cantonments behind the Passarge, with its left supported by Marienwerder the island of Nogat and Elbing, countries which afford resources.
Being informed that a Russian division had marched towards Braunsberg at the head of our cantonments, the emperor ordered it to be attacked. The prince of Ponte Corvo assigned the expedition to gen. Dupont, an officer of great merit. On the 26th, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon gen. Dupont presented himself before Braunsberg, attacked the enemy's division, 10,000 strong, overthrew it with fixed bayonets, drove it from the town and made it recross the Passarge, took from it 10 pieces of cannon, 2 stands of colors, and made 2000 prisoners. We had very few men killed.
On the side of Gustadt, general Legeais's division repaired to the village of Peterswald at day break, on the 25th upon receiving advice that a Russian column had arrived during the night at that village, overthrew it, took the general Baron de Korff who commanded it, his staff, several lieutenant colonels and officers, and 400 men. This
brigade was composed of 10 battalions, which had suffered so much, that they formed only 1600 men under arms.
The emperor in testimony of his satisfaction to general Savary for the engagement of Ostrolenka, has granted him the grand insignia of the legion of honor, and called him about his person. His majesty has given the command of the 5th corps to marshal Massena, marshal Lannes continuing to be sick.
At the battle of Eylau, marshal Augereau overrun with rheumatic pains, was sick and hardly in his senses; but the cannon awakes the brave; he flew in full gallop to the head of his corps, after getting himself tied upon his horse. He was constantly exposed to the greatest fire, and was even slightly wounded. The emperor has just authorized him to return to France for the purpose of taking care of his health.
The garrison of Zulberg and Dantzick, availing themselves of the little attention paid to them, had encouraged themselves by different exertions. An advanced post of the Italian division was attacked on the 16th at Stargard, by a party of 800 men of the garrison of Colberg. General Bonsati had with him only a few companies of the first Italian regiment of the line, which took to their arms in time, marched with resolution against the enemy & routed him.
General Teuli, on his side, with the main body of the Italian division, the regiments of musketeers of the guards and the first company of gendarmes on duty, repaired to invest Colberg, on arriving at Naugarten, he found the enemy intrenched, occupying a fort beset with pieces of cannon. Colonel Boyer, of the musketeers of the guards, gave an assault. Captain Montmorency, of the company of gendarmes, made a successful charge. The fort was taken, 300 men made prisoners and six pieces of cannon carried off. The enemy left 100 men on the field of battle.
Gen. Dombrowski marched against the garrison of Dantzick; he fell in with it at Dirnau, overthrew it, made 600 prisoners, took 7 pieces of cannon, and pursued it for several leagues at its heels. He was wounded with a musket ball. Marshal Lefebvre arrived in the mean time at the command of the 15th corps; he had been joined by the Saxons, and marched to invest Dantzick.
The weather is still changeable. It froze yesterday: it thaws to day. The whole winter has passed over in this manner. The thermometer has never been lower than 5 degrees.
A RUNAWAY,
On the 19th inst. a black man calling himself WATTS, was committed to the jail in this city, as a runaway. He at first said he was free; but has since confessed that he belongs to Wm. Penn of Montgomery county Maryland and that his right name is Isaac. He is about 23 or 24 years of age, 5 feet 3 inches high, has very thick lips, and had on when committed, an old gray great coat, kersey trowsers, white negro cloth jacket and an old black wool hat. No other clothing with him.
His owner is requested to release him or he will be sold for fees as the law directs.

WASHINGTON CITY,
MONDAY, MAY 4.
General John Smith is re-elected a representative in Congress for the state of Virginia.
Among our French papers we find a long account of the meeting of the Grand Sanhedrin at Paris, of which we have formed an abstract. The facility with which Napoleon has brought the Jews into a subordination to his views is not among the least extraordinary events of his reign.
On the 9th of February, the Grand Sanhedrin opened its sittings at Paris.
At 11 o'clock the members of the Sanhedrin went to the house of their chief, from whence they proceeded altogether to the grand synagogue, attended by the members of the first Jewish assembly. A prayer was offered up in the Temple in Hebrew and French, suitable to the circumstances; then was sung a Hebrew hymn and an Hebrew ode, translated into Italian and Latin. The President M. de Sentheim, then pronounced a discourse in Hebrew, by which the assembly were much affected. After having quoted many sacred texts, the book of the law was drawn from the tabernacle, and the President blessed the assembly, at the same time making a most affecting prayer for the Emperor, for the glory of his arms and the return of peace. The temple resounded with cries of long live the Emperor, the Empress, the imperial family, and the brave French army. M. de Cologna pronounced a discourse in Italian, which produced the most lively emotion; it turned chiefly on the union between the religious and civil duties of man, the moral and political duties of the citizen and subject. The elegance and warmth of the style, the firm but persuasive tone of the orator raised a general enthusiasm in the hearers. The Rabbi Cracovia of Venice likewise composed a discourse, which contained an account of the history and origin of the Sanhedrin, and paid a tribute of homage to the Emperor, who had just renewed his existence in the midst of us. The temple was nobly and magnificently decorated.
This religious ceremony over, the procession proceeded to the Hotel-de-Ville, where a hall was prepared for their sittings, in conformity to the ancient religious usage; after the transaction of other business, the President of the Sanhedrin ordered to be read, a discourse in French of his composition. This discourse, filled with liberal and religious ideas, was highly impressive; then was read the preamble and articles, containing the three first points of doctrine peculiar to the Sanhedrin, polygamy, divorce, and marriage; then a report concerning the most important considerations of morals, politics and religion.
A committee was then formed, to draw up an account of their proceedings, and to transmit the same to his excellency the minister of the interior, when the assembly adjourned to the 18th.
An admirable order reigned throughout the sitting of an assembly, the design of which is to restore to social happiness, a class of men so long persecuted and unhappy.
This ceremony excited general interest and anxiety, as much from its novelty as on account of the great man who has revived an assembly without example in the records of modern history.
A plan of religious government was adopted, by which a synagogue and consistory are ordered to be established in every department, in which are found 20,000 Jews; when that number is not found in one department, the jurisdiction of the synagogue and consistory will extend to any number of departments, necessary to make up the 20,000.
The functions of the consistory are to guard against the Rabbi giving any instruction, either in private or public, or any explanation of the law which shall be at variance with the answers of the assembly to the questions submitted to them by the grand Sanhedrin—2dly, to maintain order in the synagogues, to watch over the reception and distribution of sums, destined to pay the expenses of the divine service—3dly, to encourage all Jews within their jurisdiction, by every possible means, to the exercise of some useful occupation, and to make known to the public authority those who are destitute of the means of gaining an honest livelihood—4thly, to declare every year to the proper authority the number of conscript Jews with their arondissement.
The functions of the Rabbi are, 1st, to give religious instruction—2dly, to teach the precepts contained in the decisions of the grand Sanhedrin—3dly, to preach under all its relations obedience to the laws, and especially to those which concern the defence of the country. They shall more particularly attend to this at the annual period of the conscription, exhorting those under their charge to conform to this law—4thly, to represent to the Jews the military service as a sacred duty, and to explain to them that as long as they devote themselves to this service, the law will dispense with the usages and customs which are incompatible with it—5thly, to preach in the synagogues, and to recite prayers for the emperor and the imperial family.

Turnpike roads and canals are a sort of saving machinery, which must be of great importance to the U. States...
The deficiency of Providence is lost to us, in that, whilst our country abounds in water, we do not avail ourselves of its utility...
CANAL PARTY.
British Treaty.—It is a fact that the paper so denominated, will not be sent back, out of respect to the British government.
It sufficiently appears from the President's proclamation, what he himself thinks of the state of our relations.
The President was placed in a very different situation from what was anticipated at the time of passing the suspension act.
and yet she has displayed such a spirit of peace, as to promise the most favorable results from a negotiation.
The President was placed in a delicate situation. This was the season of the year when our merchants were to give orders to their British correspondents for their fall importations.
The President adopted the last alternative—He determined to extend the suspension of the non-importation act until the 14th of December.
The federalists have vehemently abused him for rejecting the treaty.
What an inconsistency between the professions and acts of the federalists—and the practice of Mr. Jefferson!
Mr. J. who has been charged with an hostility to our commerce and our seamen, rejects a treaty, which does not sufficiently secure the rights of our seamen.
And the federalists, who have hitherto pretended to be the exclusive friends of commerce, have arraigned him for rejecting this very treaty.
It is impossible to anticipate what may be the effect of this measure. Perhaps not even Mr. J. with all the dispatches from our commissioners before him, can undertake to predict the consequences.
Two objections were made to this project of a treaty; the one, the want of some adequate remedy for the impressment of our seamen; the other was the note annexed to it by the British cabinet.
As to the last point, we have one source of consolation and hope.
If Decree's letter to general Armstrong, expresses the spirit in which the French government, intended to interpret their own decree; and this sense derives no little probability from the guarded manner in which it has been hitherto carried into execution; no difficulty can exist on this ground.
The question of impressment is still more serious, because on this point our own principles and those of Great Britain are so completely discordant.
We recommend it to our readers to peruse the Secretary of State's letter to Mr. Monroe, of the 4th of January, 1804, on this subject. This letter completely demonstrates that "whether we consult the law of nations, the tenor of treaties, or the dictates of reason and justice, no warrant, no pretext can be found for the British practice of making impressments from American vessels on the high seas."
The law of nations circumscribes the right of search and impressment within very narrow limits. That law imposes but two restrictions upon neutral commerce. A neutral vessel does not protect certain objects denominated contraband of war, including enemies serving in the way, nor articles going into a blockaded port. But "no where will England find an exception to this freedom of the seas, and of neutral flags, which justifies the taking away of any person, not an enemy in military service, bound on board a neutral vessel."
According to these comprehensive principles, Great Britain has no right to impress from American vessels, the captain or any part of his crew.
She has no right to impress any one protected by the American flag, whether he be an American by birth; or a British subject naturalised by our laws—or even a British subject, who has not even set his foot on our shores; unless they are respectively enlisted in the military service, and destined for the service of her enemies.
In a word, Great Britain has no right to institute a search or an impressment from our vessels, unless the person so sought and impressed be in military service bound to the enemy's ports, and destined for the enemy's aid.
Is this the doctrine for which our administration are now contending? If so, it is completely at war with the British practice. It is not enough for them to think that "once a subject, always a subject;" they even carry the maxim into the most vexatious execution; even to the act of searching for and seizing their subjects, wherever they may be found.
But even on this ground it may be possible to come to some compromise—Such was once likely to have taken place, as appears from the following extract of Mr. Madison's letter of the 5th of January.
"The British pretensions to domain over the narrow seas are so obsolete and so indefensible that they never would have occurred as a probable objection in this case, if they had not frustrated an arrangement settled by Mr. King with the British ministry, on the subject of impressments from American vessels on the high seas. At the moment the articles were expected to be signed, an exception of the "narrow seas" was urged and insisted on by Lord St. Vincent; and being utterly inadmissible on our part, the negotiation was abandoned."
The question of a separation of Maine (which was taken throughout the district the 6th ult.) appears quite unpopular. In many towns there was an unanimous vote against it; in Wiscasset it was 77 to 10.
USEFUL EXPERIMENTS.
It is hoped, that persons of enterprise in lower Louisiana, will make experiments in the cultivation of coffee, ginger, pimento or alspice, the rail in grape, the prune plumbe, the Turkey fig, and other things which may suit the soil and climate; and for which, we are now tributary to foreign countries.
Press.
The underwriters and shippers at Lloyd's coffee house, in London, have voted, to captain Crocker, of the American ship Otis, the sum of five hundred pounds sterling (2230) dollars, and a piece of plate of the value of 50 pounds sterling (230 dollars) for his humane exertions to preserve the lives and property exposed to danger during the violent gale which was experienced in the Downs on the 18th of February last.
DUTCH EXPEDITION.
The expedition, which sailed from Holland the latter part of February, & was compelled to return by bad weather, was under the charge of general Deandels, and supposed to be bound to the East Indies. It consisted of four frigates, and several transports, all full of troops. Stores (it is said) had been previously sent off in American bottoms, hired for the purpose. One of the frigates has been lost; and perhaps the expedition may be abandoned.
Extract of a letter from New-Orleans to a gentleman in this city.
"Lieutenant Spence, of the navy, has been arrested on suspicion of being concerned with colonel Burr in the Mexican expedition. A report has been long in circulation, that he was to command Burr's marine force. I believe his being on furlough, and in the western country (alone) have given rise to this suspicion. His deportment is not that of a man concerned in any infamous undertaking.—On hearing he was implicated, he boldly came forward and demanded an investigation into his actions."
Phil. Paper.
The schooner Little Mary, of Philadelphia, is seized by the collector of the port of Great Egg Harbour, (at which place she arrived) with her cargo, consisting of sugar, coffee and logwood, for a presumed infraction of an act of Congress, interdicting a trade to certain parts of the island of St. Domingo, not under the acknowledged government of France.
Frankfort, March 19. COMMUNICATION.
On Saturday the 21st day of Feb. 1807—at a meeting in Centreville, of a large and respectable number of the citizens of Livingston county, selected from the several companies composing the 34th and 55th regiments of Kentucky militia, for the special purpose of deliberating on the conduct of col. Burr, and other individuals who it appears have lately attempted a disunion of the U. S. thereby greatly disturbing the peace and tranquility of the same:—The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:
Resolved, That any attempts to dismember the U.S. by force of arms, is contrary to sound policy, and ought immediately to be crushed by a superior military force, and that any person attempting the same by the propagation of principles having that tendency, justly merits and ought to be treated with the highest contempt.
Resolved, That at this assembly do place entire confidence in the constitution and present administration of the government of the U. S. for the support of which we pledge our lives and property.
Resolved, That it is the most ardent wish of this assembly that our present chief magistrate, Thomas Jefferson, may be a candidate for the chief magistracy at the next presidential election; and it is highly incumbent on all good citizens of the union fully to express their approbation of his meritorious and unremitting exertions in so ably and safely conducting the helm of state, from his first election to the present day.
Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions are the genuine sentiments of the citizens of Livingston county unanimously, and that a copy of them be immediately prepared and forwarded to the editor of the Palladium, and Universal Gazette for insertion.
Signed by order of the committee. JONATHAN RAMSAY, Chairman. Attest, WM. C. ROGERS, clerk.
At a meeting of the citizens of Nelson county (K) at the courthouse in Bardstown on the 25th of March, 1807 agreeably to a notice published in the Candid Review, the hon. James Slaughter was chosen chairman and Thomas Speed, esq. secretary of the meeting.
The citizens composing this meeting, deeming it highly important that their sentiments be truly and fairly understood, upon those subjects in which the interest and respectability of their country, and especially of their own state, are involved, have thought proper to adopt the following resolutions.
1. Resolved (nem. con.) that the citizens who compose this meeting feel the strongest attachment to the Federal
Government, and view with the utmost detestation the attempts of both ancient and modern conspirators to sever us from the union.
2. Resolved, that the present administration of the general government meets with our cordial approbation; and having no doubt but the same enlightened policy which has been pursued by Mr. JEFFERSON, since the commencement of his administration, will continue to actuate him, we hope he will again consent to fill the Presidential chair.
J. SLAUGHTER, Chm.
MEMORIAL TO GENERAL WILKINSON.
Sir, The recent arrest of Aaron Burr has, we hope, dissipated the dangers which have menaced the peace and safety of this city; we therefore beg leave to congratulate you on the discovery of the wicked plot, and to present you our acknowledgments for the protection you have afforded us.
Spectators of the difficulties and embarrassments by which we have seen you encompassed, we believe that a knowledge of facts and circumstances as they have really occurred, will satisfy every unprejudiced person, that the decisive steps to which you resorted, in a critical moment, were not only justifiable, by the extremity of the case, but were essential to our preservation.
We are not surprised at the alarm, nor do we condemn the sensibilities which were excited by the extraordinary measures, which a sense of public danger compelled you to adopt, because the rights and liberties of an American citizen cannot be too sedulously guarded. But we are persuaded that in the instance, which has given origin to this address, your conduct has been loyal, dutiful and patriotic, and that when your motives are made manifest by a fair development of the transactions which have engaged your attention in this city, the impartial and enlightened part of the world will concur with us in acknowledging your merits and services.
We lament the domestic afflictions which press upon you, and beg you to accept our best wishes for your future fame, prosperity and happiness.
[Signed by several hundred of the most opulent and respectable inhabitants, French and American, of Orleans.]
