Latest Foreign Intelligence.
NEW-YORK, February 4.
We are indebted to Mr. Anderson, passenger in the ship Kingston, from London, for papers as late as the 4th of December; and to a mercantile friend for Lloyd's List and Price Current, to the 30th Nov. From these prints, we have made the extracts which appear interesting.
The news of the disastrous occurrences at St. Domingo, had reached France; but what effect it had on the government is not stated.
The First Consul, at his palace at St. Cloud, had received the congratulations of the constituted authorities and armed force, on his return. A London paper mentions the address as marked with a strain of fulsome compliment. It would seem from one of these addresses, that it is the intention of the First Consul to visit all France."
A London paper of the 28th November, speaking of America, says:
"Every British Statesman must now be aware of the great importance of maintaining a good understanding with the U. States of America. The two countries may be so mutually serviceable, or so mutually mischievous to each other, that the utmost pains should be employed to cultivate not only peace, but to improve every sentiment of kindness and affection. The French, it is well known, make every exertion to obtain a party in America, hostile to England. In appointing a minister to the United States it, therefore, is of the utmost importance to send a man qualified to improve our interests with the government and the people of that country; one who will conciliate their affections and esteem, as far as his personal character, and his personal communication with them, can extend. Mr. Otto is to be the French envoy."

LONDON, December 4.
We received this morning the Monitor of Tuesday last. It contains no intelligence of any importance. Persevering in its usual system of attacking this country, it has extracted from another Paris Journal, a silly dialogue between an Englishman and a lover of the English, upon the English constitution. The object of it is to prove that we have no written constitution, and that we cannot ourselves describe what our constitution is. The French have a written constitution to be found in their books and no where else.
The French Funds are 53.
A special commission is preparing to try the persons apprehended in Oakley-street, Lambeth, for high treason, at Guilford, in Surrey, in the county in which they are supposed to have committed the offence. Other persons, implicated in the same conspiracy, will be tried at the Old Bailey, by a special commission also.
Lord Whitworth's introduction to the First Consul will take place next Monday, when a Consular Review and a grand levee will be held.
Mr. Merry will probably take his departure from Paris very soon. He is destined to meet M. Otto in America.
From a recent decision, which took place at Brest, it appears, that the French are determined, if we persist in our Navigation Act, to have theirs. By the Navigation Act of England, foreign vessels are not allowed to enter the port of London with any other produce than that of the countries to which they respectively belong. France, it appears, has resolved to adopt the same principle. An English vessel, bringing a cargo of iron from Petersburg to Brest, has been declared contraband.
The account which we yesterday gave of the sudden dismissal from Paris of Count Stahremberg, by an order from the French Government, has excited much comment, as well as surprise. As this information seems to be doubted by some of our ignorant cotemporaries, we think it necessary to say, that we pledge ourselves for its authenticity.—Sun.
A Dutch Mail arrived yesterday; and by an article from the Frontiers of Switzerland it seems that some fresh ferment
have arisen in the lower Cantons, in consequence of the severity of the French.
Count Schimmelpennick, the Dutch Ambassador to this country, with his family and suite, landed at Dover on Thursday; and last night, we are informed, that they reached town.
On Thursday Mr. Abraham Newland attended the Omnium Holders, at the Stock Exchange, to announce to them that the Bank Directors had agreed to their application; and that, instead of paying towards the redemption of their Omnium, 40 per cent. on the 21st of January, they were to advance 20 per cent. on the 24th of January (which would assist them in after the opening of the Consols,) and the other 20 per cent. on the 16th of April; so the whole payments for the redemption of the Omnium will now stand thus:
On 24th of Jan. 20 per cent.
On 18th of Feb. 30 per cent.
On 18th of March, 30 per cent.
On 16th of April, 20 per cent.
After this communication had been made, the Funds rose about half per cent.
A further account of the Riots at Newcastle:—For this week past, the seamen of this port and at Sunderland, having refused to go to sea unless their wages were advanced to six guineas the voyage, several scenes of violence and disorder were manifested, which all the influence and authority of our Chief Magistrate could hardly repress. To accommodate as much as possible the subsisting difference, and effectually to prevent all future alterations, we understand the Mayor very prudently proposed, that on all occasions the wages of seamen should bear a certain proportion to the price of coals; but whether this principle is to be acted upon, we cannot say. At Sunderland, however, we are informed all differences have been adjusted, and the trade has recovered its wonted tone and vigour. At Shields, several of the ringleaders who had recourse to rioting, have been apprehended. Those sailors who were disposed to act peaceably, have received their demands, and the loaded ships have since proceeded to sea.
Dreadful Fire.
Early on Monday morning the cotton mill, the property of Mr. Denison, and which has been lately worked by Messrs. Oats, Stevens, and Co. situated near Penny-foot Stile, Nottingham, was discovered to be on fire, and notwithstanding the immediate alarm, all assistance was useless: and in two hours this beautiful and extensive building was reduced to a mere shell. No description can do justice to the terrific grandeur of this spectacle: the building which is nearly 120 feet in front, and six stories high, stands insulated, and was one of the greatest ornaments to the South view of Nottingham. In one hour after it was discovered, the whole of this elegant structure was a prey to this devouring element, ninety windows in front pouring forth columns of flame and combustible matter, so as to endanger hay stacks in the meadows at a quarter of a mile distant; and when the roof and cupola fell in, the effect can only be compared to a volcanic eruption. The contrast of this immense and widely diffused light to the darkness of the night, the illumination of the town, castle, and the surrounding villages, and the visible distinctness of the most distant objects in the landscape, produced such a sublime and vivid effect as it will be as vain for the pencil to delineate as the pen to describe.
In Switzerland the Senate has issued a Decree, imposing upon all the Cantons, in proportion to their resources, a War contribution of 900,000 livres (37,500l) for the support of the French troops.—One of the articles of the decree reserves to the Senate the power of the exacting extraordinary contributions from those Cantons, Communes, or individuals, what that body chooses to call the insurrection; upon which subject the executive power is directed to make a report within one month; this decree appears to be intended to throw nearly the whole burden of supporting the French troops upon the unfortunate Patriots, under the pretence of imposing a general contribution upon the whole of Switzerland; thus, not content with depriving the brave defenders of their country's cause of their political liberty, and even imprisoning their persons, the oppressors of Switzerland will make them pay for the chains with which they have loaded them. ALOES RADING and AUF DER MAUR still remain immured in the Castle of Arborg. Deputies from the Cantons are continually setting
out for Paris, but the elections are not yet completed.
Dreadful Shipwreck.
The following letter, respecting the loss of the Dutch Transport the Vrede , is written by a young gentleman, residing at Folkestone, dated November 24:
"Yesterday I witnessed a most melancholy and distressing sight. About seven o'clock in the morning, I beheld the waves running mountains high.
"About one o'clock I observed many casks floating, and the people running along the beach toward the rock, to procure whatever might fall in their way; before I could get to the point, the body of a fine young woman was driven upon the rock, she was entirely naked except one stocking and a leather garter, which was buckled below her knee.
"About a quarter of an hour after another female came in with many different articles such as cartouch-boxes, puncheons, canteens, and soldiers' caps. I heard that the wreck was at a place called Brookman's barn, between Hythe and Dimechurch. I rode over there, and beheld such a spectacle as I hope I never shall witness again. The ship had passed Dimechurch about 8 o'clock in the morning, though the sea was dreadful, & appeared to be all well; about half an hour after she was driven on shore upon the sand; where she stuck fast, and a most instantly parted.—There were upwards of 400 souls on board, out of which, (dreadful to relate) only nine were saved, one of whom died yesterday evening, and three others were not expected to recover.
"I rode for two miles along the coast from the wreck, towards Sandgate, which was covered with puncheons, musical instruments, muskets, &c. as also dead bodies of fine handsome men; the soldiers appear principally to be marines. There has been a great number of them carried away to Hythe Church: in a mile and a half's ride I counted the bodies of 120.
The seamen were observed handing seven or eight females up the shrouds, the most probable means of saving them, but shortly after the mast went by the board, and they were all plunged in the devouring element. There were near 100 poor fellows on a piece of the wreck, and very near shore, when a most tremendous sea, came and swept every one off. A Mr. Kemp, of Hythe, saved one of them from death, by running into the sea. He was very near an officer, and had just got hold of him, when he perceived an amazing swell approaching, with a large piece of the wreck, and had only time to save himself, for immediately the timber knocked out the brains of the officer.—On my return to Folkestone, I found two more women, and two or three infants, had come ashore; I also saw a sweet little girl, this morning, about 8 months old. Not an officer or female is saved; every person here is busy on the beach picking up what they can; some find watches, money, skins, &c.
"It is astonishing that every woman who came on shore are all quite naked."
Another letter on this melancholy subject, dated Dover, Nov. 25, states as follows:
"The Dutch Indiaman Vryheid , formerly the Melville Castle , an old crazy ship, which passed Dover roads in distress, on Monday evening, having lost her mainmast, made signals for assistance, but the pilot boat which put off never reached her, as it came on dreadfully thick and tempestuous, so that she was soon lost sight of. In this helpless situation the crew were unable to keep her off the land, and about one in the morning, she was driven on shore near Hythe, by the fury of the wind. It is supposed that out of the number on board, most of which were troops, and which amounted, with the crew, to above 400, not more than 15 have been saved. Every officer has perished; the floating bodies of the sufferers are as distressing to the eyes, as their shrieks during a dark and stormy morning, were to the ear of humanity; & no attempt could be made to save them, that was not certain to involve in a similar fate all who should undertake it. The captain's wife was on board, and perished with her husband.
The following list of the crew is taken from one of the survivors: Soldiers 320, officers 42, seamen 61, women 21, children 7, passengers 20. Total 472.
The Military Conscription continues to give the greatest dissatisfaction in France. By the regulations, three out of four of all young men, from 21 to 22 years of age, are to serve by lot. All those who have interest, or can pay 25l. to the govern-
ment, are exempted; but no attempt made on account of this exemption, the whole number that are to serve, those who are too poor to pay 25l. or have no interest, think it hard to be obliged to draw lots who shall serve for the army. On this account, many families in Paris are at this moment in the greatest distress. If their sons shall not be slain in battle, or fall victims to the yellow fever, they are sensible that the life of a soldier by any unqualifies them for other occupations.
Colonel Despard we understand, has been tried the ensuing Sessions at the Old Bailey, which commence this day. He is charged with feloniously, maliciously, and advisedly endeavouring to kill Thomas Windsor, being a person serving in his majesty's forces by land, andvers other persons also serving in his majesty's forces by land, from their duty and allegiance to his Majesty, and for exciting and stirring up the said Thomas Windsor, and other persons also serving in his Majesty's forces by land, to commit an act of mutiny, contrary to the statutes in such a case made and provided, and against the peace of our said Lord the King.
A private letter from Paris mentions that Bonaparte, when he visited the port of D'Omeur on observing the English colours placed under the French, ordered them to be placed side by side, saying that England ranked with the first nations of the globe, that her people were brave, industrious, and naturally friends to France. The colours of the other nations were hung beneath, except the American which did not appear, and the absence of which is considered as a great offence.
By a decree of the Chief Consul, a table allowance for officers in the navy serving in America, Asia, or Africa, is to be doubled upon their arrival in any of the Colonies.
A report having been lately spread in Leghorn, that there had been a naval action in the Mediterranean between the Batavian squadron, commanded by Admiral Winter and a certain number of Barbary corsairs, the following Notes has been officially published.—"The squadron under Admiral Winter has peaceably traversed the Coasts of Barbary, and he found those regencies in the most amiable disposition towards the Batavian nation.

NEW-YORK, February 4.
Yesterday afternoon a tremendous storm of hail, rain, thunder & lightning was experienced in this city; during which in Olive, capt. Shepherd, from the Havana, as she was coming into the Hook, had one man, Richard Coone, killed by the lightning whilst he was in the act of handling the top gallant sail, another badly hurt, and four knocked down. The brig, after coming to anchor in the East River opposite to Coenties Slip, parted her cables, and drifted to Corlear's Hook where she ran aground.
Arrived yesterday, the brig Agnes , Shoemaker, in 72 days from Liverpool, Spoke, Dec. 29, in lat. 42, long. 56, an English ship, five days from Virginia for London.

Spoke at the same time the brig Jefferson , Adams, from New-York for Sligo. On the 31st ult. saw a ship on shore at Martha's Vineyard.

The schr. Hector , Christie, from Port Antonio, (Jam.) The Schooner Antelope , Dean, failed 7 days before the Hector ; & the Hector passed her after she had been out 14 days, in sight of Cape Nicholas Morne. On the N. E. reef of Maguana , Captain C. saw a ship and schooner on shore—sent a boat to the ship, but she had been stripped by wreckers; she had a head, and appeared to be a new vessel. They could not reach the schr., but observed her making signals of distress. As the wind was then fresh from N. N. W. she must have gone to pieces that night, and the crew probably have perished.
The schr. Rising Sun , Ripley, from Antigua. Left about 15 sail of American vessels, among them was the ship

Report says, and we believe on good ground, that the Governor has ordered a draught from the militia of this state of 1800 infantry and 200 horse, for the settlement of the Land business at Wyoming, Luzerne, &c.
The Aurora says, the House of Representatives of the United States sat with CLOSED DOORS on Monday last; and conjectures that the business in which they were thus engaged related to Mr. Rutledge. The attacks on this gentleman have hitherto been conducted with the deepest secrecy, and it is perhaps most consistent, if he is to be sacrificed, that the deed should be committed IN THE DARK.

The School of Medicine at Paris has published, in its transactions, some interesting observations of citizen Delerau Desfontaines, physician at St. German, on a living insect which was found in the substance of the liver of a man who died at the age of 33, of a disorder in the stomach and bowels. It is a worm belonging to a genus hitherto unknown; It is about the size of a full grown sick worm, and of a brownish red. The body moves by means of rings, regularly articulated, each articulation being marked with a white point surmounted by a hair of a firm texture, and extremely acute. The head of the insect is armed with a species of horn, and the lower extremity of the body is terminated in a manner similar to that of a lobster.

A Kingston (St. Vincent's) paper of the 18th December, says, "The following account was given us by the brother of Capt. Thomas Hazel, of the sloop Try Again, and we sincerely hope it will not escape the notice of our government:— On the 4th inst, as the sloop was passing by St. Lucia on her way to Martinique, she was fired at and brought too by the French Guards Costa of that island; the matter of which, with some of the crew boarded the Try Again, and robbed capt. Hazle, negroes and vessel, of every thing on board. They were not yet satisfied. They sent her into Fort Royal, where capt. H. and the negroes were imprisoned five days, when they were liberated and allowed to proceed on their voyage.

THE subscriber's life estate, in that valuable F A R M, known by the name of the Walnut-Tree Farm, situate on the south side of the river Potomac, about four miles below Alexandria. This farm contains 360 acres, of which about 100 are in wood, and the rest arable. The buildings consist of a two story brick house, handsomely finished, and a two story frame kitchen adjoining the house; a two story frame house for an overseer; a frame quarter capable of accommodating 15 or 20 persons; and a large well built barn, with grainaries, stables, and an extensive shed for cattle. The beauty and salubrity of this situation is exceeded by none on the river Potomac. The arable land is divided into convenient fields, and the soil is good for the production of small grain. There are on the premises a thriving young orchard of apple and peach trees, and about 40 acres of wheat in the ground.
The extent of this farm on the river (being more than a mile) affords an opportunity for an industrious farmer to collect large quantities of manure, and the excellent FISHERY attached to it, on which are two very good and convenient fish houses, must greatly enhance its value.
At the same time will be sold on the premises (if not disposed of before at private sale) upwards of twenty NEGROES, together with the Stock of Horses, Cattle, Sheep and farming utensils on the place.
The terms of payment to be cash for all sums under one hundred dollars; from one to two hundred dollars, sixty days credit; and for all sums above two hundred dollars, one half in sixty, and one half in ninety days, the purchaser giving approved notes negotiable in the Banks of Alexandria or Columbia.

The Executors of the late Gen. Geo. Wash- ington, offer for sale, the following TRACTS OF LAND, viz.
A tract in Loudoun county on Difficult Run, containing 300 acres. The soil well adapted for farming and a considerable proportion of it might easily be improved into meadow. There is a valuable mill-seat on the premises. It lies on the great road from the City of Wash- ington, Alexandria and George Town to Leesburg and Winchester, nineteen miles from Alexandria, less from the City and George Town and not more than three from the Great Falls of Potomac.
One tract containing 2,481 acres lying in the counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, called Ashby's Bent. The soil is that which is said to be most favorable to Planter of Paris, well watered by seve- ral never failing streams issuing from the mountain—part of this land is cleared and enanted for lives.
One tract lying part in each of the above counties, containing 885 acres. Chatten's run passes through this tract and tires several valuable mill-seats. The soil is similar to the above tract and equal- ly favorable to Planter of Paris.
