NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, WASHINGTON ADVERTISER.
WASHINGTON CITY, PRINTED BY SAMUEL HARRISON SMITH, PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. No. DXCV.
FIVE DOLLS. PER ANN.
MONDAY, JULY 30th, 1804.
PAID IN ADVANCE.
GEORGE TOWN COLLEGE,
In the district of Columbia, United States of America, under the direction of the Incorporated Catholic Clergy of the State of Maryland.
I. The annual pension of this establishment is two hundred and twenty dollars; but for children under twelve years of age, only two hundred dollars will be required. Those students who continue their education through the class of Philosophy shall, on account of extraordinary expenses, and some particular indulgencies allowed them, pay two hundred and fifty dollars per annum.
The pension is to be paid half yearly in advance. A deduction of fifty dollars per annum will be allowed to those parents who may choose to charge themselves with the detail of clothing their children. The college will furnish washing, and mending; but will not keep particular accounts, or become answerable for clothing provided by parents.
II. In lieu of bed linen, table service, school books, and other articles usually required on entering establishments of this kind, each student shall pay ten dollars entrance money.
III. The Sunday or holiday dress is uniform, and consists of a plain coat of blue cloth, with yellow buttons, red cloth or kerseymere waistcoats. The use of silk is not permitted. Every student shall bring with him his uniform dress, besides a suit for daily wear, six shirts, six neck handkerchiefs, six pocket handkerchiefs, six pair of stockings, and three pair of shoes, all new. Any deficiency in the above will be charged to the parents.
IV. On the above terms the students are furnished with clothes, linen, washing, mending, lodging, board, fire, candle, table, school books, pen, ink, paper, amusements, and school rewards; so that nothing will remain to the charge of the parents, but medical attendance and medicines, postage, and such extra lessons as drawing, dancing, music, &c. which they may choose to order for their children.
V. The religion, uniformly practiced by the students living in the college, is the Roman Catholic; but for student of other religious persuasions, there are boarding houses, convenient to the college, where they will be subject to the same rules (religion excepted) and enjoy the same advantages for their improvement in science as the pensioners of the college.
VI. Out Boarders must be furnished by their parents with the uniform of the college, and pay annually for tuition, fire, candle, school books, pen, ink, paper, amusements, school rewards, &c. fifty dollars, always half yearly in advance.
VII. The students are taught English, Latin, Greek, and all the branches of Classical Education, sacred and profane History, Geography, the use of the Globes, Arithmetic, and when sufficiently advanced Algebra and Geometry, with all the other parts of the Mathematics, in the respective classes. Particular care is taken that they learn to read well, and write a good hand, and that they speak and write French with accuracy. Four times a year the students are called to a public examination of which they are taught before Parents and the Friends of Literature. Those who have made extraordinary progress are honored and rewarded. The idle, for punishment, are confined in the vacation to certain extraordinary hours of study during playtime, in order to repair what they have neglected to learn in school; therefore, if they are found defective in the last and most important examination of the year, before the August vacation, they will not be allowed to go home during that time.
VIII. The age of admission is from eight to fourteen. When children are not sufficiently advanced to begin a regular course of classical education, they are placed in an elementary class, attended by a particular teacher, from whom they learn to spell, read, and write.
IX. If the children sent to this College have been before at any other house of education, an attestation of their morals and docility is required.
X. The greatest care is taken to instruct the children in the duties of Religion and Morality; and they are constantly under the eye of one or more of the Professors who see that those duties are practiced, and that the rules of civility are not violated.
XI. Cleanliness and exercise, and every thing which contributes to health, are attended to with particular care.
XII. All the pensioners dine and sup with their professors, and have the same table which they have. No distinctions are allowed in diet or clothing.
XIII. As long experience has convinced the directors, that a provision of pocket money is very prejudicial, not only to good order, but even to study and application, they therefore request that parents will not be forward in indulging their children in more than fifty cents at most per month, for this purpose.
XIV. No allowance is made for absence during the vacation, which begins on the 15th August and ends the 15th of September. To these terms the parents are desired to be particularly attentive, in case they choose to call their children home, as the absence of a few weeks at the opening of school is seldom repaired without very great difficulty. Absence from school at no other time will be permitted. It is indeed the most serious and exacting desire of the Directors, that the children should never be called home during the course of their education, as they have found experience, that such vacations have an proved prejudicial, not only to study and application, but even to content and happiness. Those children who may be removed into the college upon other grounds, either totally or partially, than those provided by their parents or guardians, will not be allowed to go home or absent themselves from the college during the full course of their education, unless particular circumstances in the judgment of the President should require permission of absence for a time.
XV. When children are removed from the College, whatever new linen or clothes are furnished them on that occasion, will be charged to their parents. After entering on a new quarter no deduction will be made for the remaining part thereof.
The College is a large building, capable of lodging two hundred persons conveniently. The garden and court adjoining, where the young gentlemen play, are very airy and spacious. The situation is very pleasant and healthy.
It will contribute much to the advantage of the children, if parents on sending them will inform the President how long they propose to leave them at the College, and for what employments in life they are designed. The regular course of education is properly classical; but such as are destined for the commercial line, have a lesson of Arithmetic and Book Keeping, under a particular Professor appointed for that purpose.
N.B. The above Regulations and Conditions will take place from the 15th day of August, 1804, for all such as enter on, or after that period; but for others, they will only commence at the expiration of the six months, for which the advance payment had become due prior to that term.

Dr. Jacob Hall, of Harford county, of known literary character, to whose inspection these Poems were submitted, in a letter to the author, expresses his opinion of them, as follows:
MADAM; I have been honored and gratified with the perusal of your manuscript copy of Poems. In my opinion it is a work of considerable merit, and displays true piety and poetic genius. The pastoral dialogues are commendable for their novelty, simplicity and beauty. The elegies, epistles, and especially the "Man of Taste," a Moral Tale, are interesting and pathetic. The Odes and Epiithets are sprightly and amusing. And the whole composition seems to breathe such a spirit of philanthropy and benevolence as cannot fail to elevate the affections, and to mend the heart. And it is to be regretted, that the author's modesty has hitherto denied the community so refined & elegant an entertainment.
Your Friend, &c. J. HALL. Christopher's Camp, March 24.

POLLARD & ABRAHAM. July 18—6t
FROM THE PHILADELPHIA REGISTER.
The First volume of the LIFE WASHINGTON.
TO the charge so often brought against our country, of deficiency of intellect, it may always be well replied, that since we became a nation, a large proportion of our public men have been eminently distinguished for their abilities. The charge will be further removed by recollecting that many of our citizens who have acquired reputation as statesmen have risen to that distinction in other pursuits. In the countries of Europe, but particularly in England, with the public character of which we are most familiar, men of eminence seem to move only in a single sphere. The politician, the jurist and the soldier are distinct and independent characters, and, we could point to instances where attempts to combine the opposite excellencies of each have not always been attended with success. It seems to have been reserved for the Americans to exhibit again the Athenian character by uniting in the same men the fame of the statesman, the forum and the field.
The first volume of the life of Washington has now been some time before the public. The author of this work, Mr. Marshall has every claim to stand in the foremost rank of our distinguished men. To the merit which belongs to professional exultation, he has added that of an able ambassador and an eloquent legislator. Passing from these characters, he now fills with acknowledged ability, the office of first judicial magistrate of our nation. If he succeed as an author and historian, it can only be from that variety of excellence which belongs to minds of the highest order. Mr. Marshall in his preface has given two reasons why his works may not satisfy the expectations which have been formed of it. The first is the nature of his subject. "Accustomed" he says "to look in the page of history for incidents in themselves of great magnitude, to find immense exertions attended with inconceivable effects and vast means employed in producing unimportant ends, we are in the habit of bellowing on the recital of military actions, a degree of consideration proportioned to the numbers engaged in them. When the struggle has terminated, and the agitation is felt during its suspense have subsided, it is difficult to attach to enterprises, in which small numbers have been concerned, that admiration which is often merited by the talents displayed in their execution, or that interest which belongs to the consequence that have arisen from them."
Mr. Marshall infers from this, that however important our revolution may have been in its effects and however exalted the merit of the American Chief, a recital of the events of the one and the actions of the other are not calculated to give much splendor to the page of the historian or to excite strong emotions in the bosom of the reader. All persons might not perhaps concur in the justice of this reason. It is not necessary to the excitement of emotion in our bosoms that we should always be reading of the encounters of formidable legions, or the overthrow of powerful states. The subjects of historic eloquence are not so limited. The foundations of our political institutions, the rise of an empire, the first independent one in the New World, are surely interesting subjects for the historian, and who will say that in tracing the career of Washington his pen may perpetually glow? The other cause which leads Mr. Marshall to anticipate disappointment in the readers of his work, is the haste with which it has been written. This is an excuse which in general is not allowed and ought not to be allowed to cover the imperfections of any work; but Mr. Marshall is entitled to it, in its fullest latitude. Seldom, if ever has any book gone into the world under the circumstances which mark the appearance of Mr. Marshall's. He cannot be entirely regarded as the voluntary author of it. The Abbe Barthelemi spent thirty years in writing the travels of Anacharsis, and the historian of the decline and fall of the Roman empire employed the labor of a life upon his work. But the biographer of the life of Washington tells us "that the public were already looking for his work before the writer was fixed on, or the documents from which it was to be composed, placed in my hands." Since the writer was fixed on and the materials furnished, not three years have elapsed, and four octavo volumes are prepared for the press. It must be added, that during this very short period the labors of the author
have been mixed with a regular attention to the duties of an office of the highest importance and difficulty.
Under this great disadvantage has the first volume of the Life of Washington been placed in our hands, and yet we hope there will not be that disappointment the author has anticipated. Whoever expects to see in a work thus rapidly written every sentence highly polished, who looks, in every page, for the splendid ornament of Gibbon, or the continued elegance of Hume, may not have his expectations answered, but it has, nevertheless, conspicuous merit. The style is chaste, energetic, and elevated. A narrative interesting, because it is our own history, but deficient in striking incident, is conducted with ease and perspicuity, and every proof afforded of a mind vigorous, comprehensive, and discriminating. We highly applaud Mr. Marshall's plan of presenting under one view, the history of the first settlement and early progress of the different colonies.—It is a proper introduction to his work, and forms a valuable accession to American literature. In the latter part of the volume, where events of higher interest are described than those on which the earlier pages of it are occupied, we mark in Mr. Marshall's style a corresponding elevation.—As the book may not be in the hands of all our readers, we will venture to give a short extract from it. It is from that part, when, at the period of British disaster, Mr. Pitt was called to the direction of public affairs. The character of this distinguished statesman, so often the theme of the orator and historian, our author has thus described.
"Mr. Pitt had long been distinguished in the House of Commons for the boldness and the splendor of his eloquence. His Parliamentary talents, & the independent grandeur of his character, had given him a vast ascendancy in that body, & made him the idol of the nation. In 1756, he had been introduced into the councils of his sovereign, but dissenting essentially from the system adopted for the prosecution of the war, he retained his station for a very short time. The public affection followed him out of office, and the national disasters continuing, it was found impracticable to conduct the complicated machine of government without his aid. In the summer of 1757, an administration was formed to as to conciliate the great contending interests in Parliament, and Pitt was placed at its head. The controlling superiority of his character gave him in the cabinet, the same ascendancy which he had obtained in the House of Commons, and he seemed to dictate the measures of the nation. But a very short time was necessary to show, that in this extraordinary man were combined qualities seldom united in the same person. His talents for action seemed to eclipse even those he had displayed in debate, and, in directing the vast and complicated movements of a war, extending on both elements, over every quarter of the world he unfolded a vigour of mind, a clearness of judgement, and a decision of character, surpassing the expectations even of those who had been long accustomed to admire the firmness with which he had pursued his political course. His plans, partaking of the proud elevation of his mind, were always grand: and the means he employed for their execution never failed to be adequate to the object. Possessing, without limitation, the public confidence, he commanded all the resources of the nation, and drew liberally from the public purse; but the money was at all times faithfully and judiciously applied in the public service. Too great in his spirit, too full time in his views, to become the instrument of faction, when placed at the head of the nation, he regarded only the interest of the nation, overlooking the country or the party which had given birth to merit, he searched for merit only and employed it wherever it could be found. From the elevation of the House of Brunswick to the British throne, a very considerable portion of the people, under the denomination of tories, had been degraded, persecuted and oppressed. Superior to this narrow and short sighted policy, Mr. Pitt sought to level these enfeebling and irritating distinctions, and to engage every British subject in the cause of his country.—Thus, equally commanding the strength and the wealth of the kingdom, with perhaps greater talents, he possessed certainly greater means than any of his predecessors."
This effort at the delineation of character, is sufficient to give us full confidence, that when Mr. Marshall shall en-
ter upon that of our departed Chief, it will be ably and eloquently portrayed.
PICHEGRU AND MOREAU.
A pamphlet of 100 pages with this title has just been published at Paris.—The following account of the pamphlet is translated from a paper called La Clef du Cabinet.
"This work is chiefly a detail of facts relative to a correspondence seized at Offenburg in the year 5, when the army of the Rhine, passed on the right bank, and took that city; the correspondence disclosed by general Moreau to the Directory, the 19th Fructidor, of year 5, the day after the arrest of Pichegru, and then sent by him to the Minister of Police, by whom it was published. It will be recollected that it related to the negotiations which took place at the end of year 3, & commencement of year 4, between the Prince of Conde the pretender, and Pichegru for invading France, and proclaiming Louis XVIII. We perceive in the affair, all the intermediates who served in that negotiation; the Barons Reich, Fauche, Belf, Demonge, Badenville, Montgalliard, &c.—But we notice above all Mr. Wickham, the treasurer of England, and the foul of the conspiracy.
In the beginning of year 4, Pichegru offered to the Prince of Conde, to cause his brave French troops to pass the Rhine, to place them between the army of Conde and that of the Emperor, and then to hoist the white flag, and proclaim the pretender. The Prince of Conde, on the contrary wished that Pichegru should deliver up to him Huntingue or Strauburg and proclaim Louis the XVIII, in his army on the right bank. In the discussions relative to this subject, Pichegru was called to Paris, named ambassador to Sweden, which he eluded and succeeded to the command of the army of the Rhine by Moreau. He abandoned himself to intrigue, he endeavored to taint the spirit of the frontier departments, as he had essayed to corrupt his army, always aided by the money he received from Wickham, always keeping up his correspondence with the Prince of Conde.
He advised Conde to break the armistice, of the 1st Prairial; at the same time, he recommended to the Austrians to attack the French at all points; hoping that such an event would restore him to the command of the army of the Rhine, and elevate him to a sort of dictator; that it would enable him to make one explosion in that army, and another in the state.
Unfortunately for his designs, the army of Italy ran from victory to victory when the campaign of year 4, again opened on the Rhine. The example of this army had electrified all the others, that of the Sambre and Meuse, commanded by Jourdan, had replied to it at first, and took the lead in passing the Rhine. The 6 Messidor, the army of the Rhine, under Moreau passed it also. It is true he was, a short time after obliged to retreat, and Kehl was taken through the aid of hints given to the Austrian army, by the agents Pichegru had left about Moreau.
Pichegru being without command had himself named to the legislative body, as also a certain Goumes agent of Louis XVIII, at Lyons, "At this period," says the author of the pamphlet, the nation groaned under a crowd of revolutionary laws. The separation of the good and evil of the revolution, had not yet been made: to preserve all, was the cry of one faction, to destroy all was that of another. The Legislative body was divided like the nation. The directory composed of five members, was in the same situation. In this corps composed of heterogeneous materials, each member was alienated, was inclined at having the other by his side. Hatred, personal dislike irritated their spirits still more than difference of opinion. The press which had been thought free, and which was regarded as the palladium of public liberty, was an instrument in the hands of a foreigner, and served only to envenom these hatreds. In this period of agitation, when men were influenced by their passions more than their reason, Pichegru hoped to form a party in the body of the representatives of the people.
"We cannot forget the tempestuous and disorganizing motions which were every day brought forth. We recall

the conduct pursued by Pichegru, and the party for which he had declared. While on one side the armies were called to the succour of the republic, on the other, Pichegru and his adherents would oppose to them the mass of citizens under the title of national guard, as if the armies, notwithstanding their proofs of devotion so often reiterated, were no longer a suitable national guard, since they had disappointed the general's hopes of being dictator. We recollect the efforts made at that time by the faction of Pichegru, to drain the public treasury, to overthrow every thing, the government was pledged to support, and with them the government itself. We remember the clamour raised on a draft being made on the treasury, of the funds accruing from the contributions, levied in Italy, a draft destined to supply the wants of the army of the Rhine, then in a state of desperation. Such was then the confusion of ideas, the uncertainty of principles; such were the prejudices for or against individuals, that we beheld in our councils, a great number of representatives, the most distinguished for wisdom, integrity, and religious attachment to their words, allowing themselves to be controlled by a small number of unworthy colleagues, who had a criminal understanding with the internal and external enemies of the republic.
"At sight of the general confusion and danger that menaced the government, the hopes of foreign power were revived, the conference opened at Montebello, between France and Austria languished. The couriers of Vienna stopped or brought only idle words. The peace seemed to fly. The armies beheld the fruits of their glorious victories vanish. All, even the army of the Rhine express their alarms, their indignation; the directory menaces that it is about to perish—the revolution of the 11th Fructidor prepares itself—and in the mean time, what does Moreau—Moreau who has in his hands proofs of the treason of Pichegru, the most influential and most dangerous of the legislative body, Moreau preserves silence! How shall we rank the man, who could prevent by a word, both the anxiety of the armies and those of the citizens, the Fructidor catastrophe, the revolution is produced, and the melancholy sacrifices that resulted, yet is silent? What a weight should rest on the conscience of that man, who by sending to Paris the papers he retained, could have preserved so many victims and prevented so much evil."
The author of the pamphlet here, analyses the excuses alledged by Moreau for his delay, and resumes his reproaches.
"Nothing, says he, can here obscure the truth. It was the duty of Moreau, gen. of the army of the Rhine, to inform government without delay, of the existence of papers which accused of conspiracy his predecessors, became the chief of a faction. The pamphlet proceeds in a similar strain of invective and thus concludes."
"All Europe knows the conduct observed by Pichegru at Bareuth, and in England, since his return from Guyana, and knows how he confirmed the proofs, that Moreau produced against him the 19th Fructidor. It is known by the whole world that it is in the pay of England; that it is with the gold and the dagger of England; that it is to serve England or the cause she has confounded with her's, that he has come to Paris."
"If it be true, as every thing announces, as we must believe, after the report made to government by the grand judge, that Moreau has had particular recourse with this declared enemy of his country, if it only be true that he has been accessible to this man, who concealed himself from all citizens, who could only have been conducted to Paris by the most criminal arts, the strongest presumptions result against Moreau, & the minds most favorably disposed are unable to defend him."
"One of two things, either the accusation of Pichegru, made by Moreau, the 19th Fructidor, was made voluntarily and with sincerity, or it was constrained by circumstances."
"In the first case, Moreau would have had a horror of the traitor who since the 19th Fructidor, had thrown off the mask, and whose presence in Paris must have a criminal object.—Pichegru on his part, would see in Moreau, a bale enemy, who had gratuitously accused him and merely for the pleasure of adding to the ignominy of a sentence already executed.—That in this case an eternal obstacle, opposed the reconciliation of these men.—It was impossible that they could inhabit the same city, that they could appear in each others presence except sword in hand, and to destroy life."
"The re-union can only be explained by a new interest, a capital interest, an interest stronger than that of honor, in a word, by the interest which had brought Pichegru to Paris—a conspiracy to assassinate the chief of the state, and to subvert the republic."
"If on the other hand, Moreau, on the 18th Fructidor, denounced Pichegru, to turn from himself suspicions which might destroy him, but could not save his friend, it follows, that from that period, he has held intelligence with him, and has been concerned in the conspiracies he has formed."
The pamphlet is published without the author's name, some idea of its nature and object may be formed from this specimen.
Foreign Intelligence.
BOSTON, July 23, 1804. From the MEDITERRANEAN.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Andrew Belknap, of this town, dated Mar-seilles, 1st May, 1804.
"The report of a war with Tunis is not yet absolutely confirmed. We understand that commodore Preble has been in the harbor of Tunis, with his squadron, to demand of the Bey his reasons for fitting out a number of vessels of war; but there is no certainty that war is declared."
"P. S. An arrival from Syracuse, brings intelligence, that the noise of war with Tunis had subsided."
Latest from Europe.
The intelligence brought by the Montezuma, arrived at this place on Thursday last, is of considerable consequence. The dates are not later than those which appeared in our last; but the following articles, which we believe have not appeared in any of our neighbouring prints, will justify our remark.
London, June 4.
In the Gazette de France, we find the following paragraph in regard to the demand made on Prussia respecting Embden:
"His Prussian majesty has, it is said, rejected the proposal of the French government, which required permission to occupy Embden, on condition of indemnifying the Prussian finances for the loss of the custom-house and other duties, which would necessarily result from that measure."
On this subject it may afford our readers some amusement to have the following particulars stated, some of which have before been given, but they are worth bringing to recollection:
Immediately after the violation of the neutrality of the German empire, by the invasion of Hanover, in May, 1803, Bonaparte negotiated with Prussia concerning the occupation of Embden, during the present war; and offered, as a security for its future evacuation, the fort and town of Hameln, in Hanover, with a yearly pecuniary indemnity of twenty thousand Prussian Louis-d'ors. This is one of the many plans of the usurper to exclude us from all continental trade and connections: because, at the same time, he negotiated with Denmark for the occupation of the coast in Holstein and Jutland, and for the fort and town of Helsingor, which command the entrance of the Baltic by commanding the sound; with Sweden and Mecklenburg, he intrigued for garrisoning Swedish Pomerania, and the sea ports on the Baltic belonging to the duke of Mecklenburg, offering all these states pecuniary or territorial indemnities, at the expense of the pillaged and oppressed Hanover. While this was going on in the North of Europe, Austria was asked to give up, during the war, Venice and Trieste, and occupy, in return, as security, Mantua and Peschiera. Any person looking upon the map of Europe will see, that had our atrocious enemy succeeded in his plan, from the Russian frontiers on the Baltic, to the Turkish on the Mediterranean, not a continental sea port would have been open to us; because, in that case, no money would have insured the neutrality of Spain and Portugal; and Gottенburgh in Sweden, as well as Stettin in Prussian Pomerania, would have been shut against our commerce. Supposed that no other state espoused his hatred against this country, Bonaparte changed his plan of military occupation into that of an armed neutrality; into which Russia, Sweden and Denmark, in the north; and Turkey, Austria, Naples, and Spain, in the south, were invited to enter. Again disappointed, threats succeeded negotiations, the territory of neutral Germany was again invaded by the occupation of Meppen, which excluded all trade between Embden and the interior of Germany, whilst, on the other hand, the French army of Italy was augmented, and the dominions of Austria, as well as those of Turkey, menaced. In Holland and in Germany, in Switzerland and in Italy, every where on the French frontiers, depots of English goods were seized, and the merchants of those countries were ruined, but no British subject suffered, because they were already paid, or had security for payment, from
merchants at Hamburg, Lubeck, Embden, Venice, or Trieste. This violent and impolitic conduct, at last, began, it is said, to alarm the king of Prussia. Haugwitz was disgraced, and it is even asserted, that overtures were then made by the Court of Berlin to those of Vienna and St. Petersburg, for uniting in defensive measures against the foreigner, who tyrannized over France, and dared, or oppressed all other states. A treaty of defensive alliance had previously been agreed to between Russia, Sweden and Denmark, which late occurrences may perhaps change into an offensive treaty with England; and, should a new league be formed, it is improbable, and almost impossible, that Austria, or even Prussia can long preserve a neutrality so often violated by Bonaparte.
WHIG CLUB.
Tuesday a most numerous meeting of the Wig Club was held at the Crown and Anchor; Mr. Fox in the chair.
The toasts of the club being drunk, the duke of Norfolk proposed the health of Mr. Fox.
Mr. Fox, after returning thanks to the company, said, that the club were so well acquainted with his sentiments on public topics, that he had little or nothing to say that could be new to them. Since he had left the pleasure of addressing them in that place, an event had occurred, in the resignation of the late administration, which he could not help considering as a subject of congratulation. He considered that administration as, neither in the principles on which they came into office, entitled to public confidence, nor in their characters, their rank, or their connections, fitted to carry on the affairs of the nation wisely and prosperously. They were brought into office by court faction, without any previous claims to public confidence; and in the overthrow of such an administration he thought there was just ground of satisfaction. As to any administration that might succeed, at least they would not be liable to some of the objections which lay against their predecessors, as their sole recommendation would not be, that they were the persons selected for office by the secret advisers of the crown. Whether the new administration will be deserving of the confidence and support of this club, or in what degree it might be so, he could not say; but he was convinced that the latter would uniformly adhere to the principles on which they were formed.
This speech was warmly applauded.
Mr. Fox then gave—the duke of Norfolk, and the noble families who considered it their best distinction to support the liberties of the people.
The duke of Norfolk returned his thanks to the company. He observed, that if the family whom he represented, and whose honors he bore, owing, perhaps to peculiar circumstances, did not occupy the same rank with those of Russell and Cavendish, he could at least say for himself, that he had made the principles of the club the rule of his public conduct, those principles alone which could render a nation free and happy.
Mr. Fox then gave—the Earl of Lauderdale and the Whigs of Scotland.
Lord Lauderdale said, he was now so little in the habit of public speaking, that he should content himself with returning his thanks to the company for the honor they had done him.
[His lordship's apology for not making a speech, produced a good deal of mirth.]
Sir William Milner, Mr. William Smith, and several other gentlemen, spoke in approbation of the principles of Mr. Fox. Mr. Smith concluded his speech with the following toast:—"May that administration be short which does not comprise those talents which have best protected our liberties at home, and are best qualified to ensure respect abroad."
This toast was received and drank with enthusiasm.
The meeting was uncommonly numerous, and had excited great expectation; but the speeches were short, and did not afford all the information upon the present state of our internal politics which it was hoped they would disclose.
London, June 1.
Paris papers to the 22d, which arrived yesterday, enable us to continue the enumeration of off-rings, made by folly, fear and treachery at the shrine of Bonaparte.
When the Senate had finished their decree, on the 19th, they repaired in a body to St. Cloud, where Cambacérès, as their president, tendered to the First Consul, their gift of the French people, with all their duties, rights, opinions, and fancies to him and his heirs forever. The president did not leave the palace without receiving his reward. Such is the precipitation of his flattery, that, before he has well announced the purpose of their resolution, and before Bonaparte has said a word in acceptance of it, he hails him as 'your imperial
majesty' words of welcome found, which occur much oftener in the address than any of the phrases hitherto thrown out to the enlightened nation. Bonaparte, however does not leave the orator long unjustified. He accepts the title 'for the good of the country,' and because the Senate 'think it necessary to the glory of the nation.' The Senate then proceed to Madame Bonaparte, whom Cambacérès calls the Empress Josephina, and tender her their secondary homage, mixed with some not inelegant compliments, and with a curious allusion to her husband's faculty in teaching 'the art of governing nations.' We are not favoured with the answer of the lady, but it is no doubt deposited among the state papers of the empire! The emperor, thus perfectly formed, and provided with an empress, immediately promoted some of those who had promoted him. Cambacérès took the oaths to his Imperial Majesty, as Arch-Chancellor. Le Brun, as arch-treasurer, Joseph Bonaparte as Grand Elector, and Louis Bonaparte, as constable of France. Some of the ministers and other considerable officers succeeded. The emperor then wrote a letter to Cambacérès, in which he gives him a handsome bene decit from his old office and promises, that his rank and value in the state shall not be lessened by the change.
The cause of the removal of Lucien, we beg his pardon, of his royal highness prince Lucien Bonaparte to Italy is now obvious. He is to be offered to the queen of Etruria, and, after his marriage, will be created king—King Lucien the First!
Accounts from Cairo state, that the Porte is extremely discontented at the ascendancy which the English have gained in Egypt, while it is not less alarmed at the pretended projects of France respecting the Morea. The English consul at Cairo, M. de Misette, changed his title, and has taken that of Chargé d'Affaires for the Beys. The merchants of Alexandria had become apprehensive lest the English should found a garrison into that place. The property of Eft Bey is stated to have fallen into the hands of his enemies, and his whole family to have been ruined, in consequence of his alliance with England.
Paris, May 21.
Napoleon, Emperor of the French, decrees the following generals to be marshals of the empire:

The French Princes and Princesses are to be addressed by the title of their Imperial highnesses; and the sisters of the emperor are to enjoy the same dignity. The great officers of the empire are to receive the title of their serene highnesses, and they, as well as the Princes, are to be addressed, 'Monsigneur.'
The high officers of the empire are to wear the same dress as that of the consuls; but they are to appear in a particular costume upon great occasions.
The secretary of state has the rank of the minister; and all the ministers will have the title of 'Their excellencies.' The functionaries of the departments, and all those who present petitions, are to address them by the title of Monsigneur. The President of the Senate will receive the title of 'His Excellency.' The marshals of the empire are to be called 'Monsieur le Marshall,' and when spoken to or addressed in writing, they are to have the title of 'Monsigneur.'
All the public buildings, and a number of private houses were illuminated on the 19th ult. in honor of the acceptance of the Imperial Dignity by Bonaparte.

WASHINGTON CITY.
MONDAY, JULY 30, 1804.
It gives us pleasure to state that the Theatre in this city has lately been carried on with a spirit that leaves but little room to doubt that it will be ready for performance by the opening of the next Session of Congress. On Friday the roof was raised, and in the evening the workmen treated with the usual entertainment on similar occasions.
New-York, July, 25,
We are indebted to the politeness of a friend for a file of Irish newspapers to the 9th of June, received last night by the brig George, capt. Snow, in 42 days from Cork. The lateness of the hour when the papers were received renders it impossible to present our readers with any extracts to day, and admits of but a slight glance at their contents. The new administration have commenced their career in a manner that justifies the opinion formed of them. Already have they planned several important expeditions—one of which is destined for the Cape of Good Hope and Batavia, and is entrusted to Gen. Sir Alured Galk. The arrangements to equip a competent armament for these objects are going on with energy and rapidity. Copious extracts to-morrow.
DREADFUL FIRE AT BYONNE.
Yesterday we received a letter from Lisbon by the Britannia, Brown, arrived in the Downs from the Tagus, which states that Byonne has recently been nearly destroyed by fire. The date of this recent calamity is not mentioned, but our correspondent gives the following account of it. "The flames were not discovered till 6 o'clock in the morning, when they burst forth with irresistible violence; the large stores filled with brandy, tar, &c. presented one sheet of fire, ascending into the air upwards of 200 feet above the buildings. The brandy, tar, oil, &c. formed a stream, and running in flames into the Adour, presented the singular and terrible spectacle of a river on fire. The fire continued burning for two days, during which many lives, and property to the amount of two millions of francs were lost."
On Tuesday arrived at Boston the ship Montezuma, capt. Isaacs, from London. She brings papers to the 5th ult. from which it appears, that the King of Great Britain had been again indisposed, but had in a great degree recovered. A Cabinet examination of H's Majesty's Physicians took place on the 2d; and it was rumoured that some important arrangement would be made in consequence.
On the 5th of June Mr. Pitt was to offer to the House of Commons his new plan for the defence of the country.
Shipping had been engaged in England for a foreign expedition.
Mr. Livingston, the American Minister to the French, is in England, in pursuit of some agricultural information, it is said in some of the papers, in others it is conjectured that his object is to negotiate a loan for the purchase of the Floridas. Mr. Fox, and many of the British nobility, have been particularly attentive to him; and some of the London editors have expressed an astonishment at these attentions, considering his conduct with respect to the late "conspiracy."
On the 30th of May, Mr. Wilberforce moved in the House of Commons for leave to bring in bill for the total abolition of the slave trade; which he obtained by a majority of 75 out of 173 votes.
The Emperor of Russia has publicly approved of the conduct of his late Envoy at Paris, between whom and the Consular Government it has been understood some misunderstanding took place. The Emperor has besides presented to the Det of Ratisbon a note on the subject of the violation of the German Territory, by the seizure of the duke d'Enghein; in which he expresses his sorrow at that event, and his surprise that France, under existing circumstances, should have authorized such a procedure. The envoy of Sweden presented a note on the same subject. The emperor of Russia wished for communication to be made on the part of the Empire to the French government for a satisfactory explanation. He had already instructed his Chargé des Affaires at Paris on the subject. The consideration of the subject was deferred by the Det for six weeks. There are various accounts of the movements of troops.
Five members of the Senate, it is said, were against giving the First Consul a new title, &c. Syes, Lanjuinais and Gregoire were among these.
W. Cobbett (Porcupine) has been convicted of publishing a libel on the government of Ireland.

New York, July 26. The ship Loga, capt. Mace, arrived at this port last evening from Nantes. She left there on the 14th June, and brings Paris papers to the 10th. From one of that date we have translated the following statement of the result of the proceedings of the criminal tribunal with respect to the persons implicated in the late conspiracy against Bonaparte.

The hat he wore was over the common size, pretty broad, but much worn I will pay all reasonable expenses and be liberal in addition to the offered reward.

500 Dollars Reward.
WHEREAS on the first day of April last a Negro fellow named STROTHER and his wife named PHILLIS absconded from my plantation near Chester court house South Carolina—and as I have reason to suspect that some white person or persons has been secretly in said negroes employment, or has feloniously carried them away—I hereby offer the above reward upon conviction of any white person concealing or carrying away said negroes.
Forty dollars with all reasonable expenses will be paid, for lodging said negroes in any jail and giving notice by letter to me at Chester C. H. South Carolina, so that I may get them, or twenty dollars for each; that is, if they are taken by any person after this date—any jailor or other persons giving notice to me of said negroes, that they are lodged in any jail before this date shall be very handsomely rewarded.
STROTHER is 22 or 23 years of age, a little yellow complexioned, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, stout made, crooked legged, very large feet, has a four countenance, has large scars on his back occasioned by a severe whipping, by his former overseer in Virginia for rebelling against him.
PHILLIS is 20 or 22 years old of a middle size, trim made, black complexion, has a small lip when she speaks—said negroes formerly belonged to Mr. Edward Carter, in Prince William county, state of Virginia where it is supposed (if they have cloped of themselves) they will try to go.
Any letter of information will be very thankfully received

This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dolls. and 2,500 dolls. in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prize to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.

Travellers Hall.
THE subscriber has lately been induced from the rapid increase of his custom to purchase a lot of ground adjoining that on which he lives for the purpose of building a dining room and assembly room, each 54 feet by 32 feet 10 inches with six additional lodging rooms, and intends to finish them before the ensuing winter; which together with his tavern and hotel will occupy a front of near one hundred feet in the most agreeable part of the town and in the center of business being on the highest part of the public square.
He has considerably increased the furniture &c. of his house and stables. His domestics and servants are of the most faithful dispositions and properly qualified for the departments to which they are assigned. He has a constant supply of the best stable forage; imported and country provisions, imported liquors, &c. of the first quality, foreign newspapers, &c. And he will most probably last through the hot weather.
The distinguished preference which the first characters have already given him, fills him with gratitude. He offers his sincere thanks to all his good friends and begs leave to assure them that neither his time nor his purse shall be spared in attempting to render the Travellers Hall a house of entertainment for GENTLEMEN GUESTS ONLY, equal to any in America.

Valuable Lands for Sale.
By order of the court of Calvert county, will be exposed to Public Sale the following lands, the property of the heirs of captain Walter Smith, deceased.
ON Monday the 20th day of August next, will be sold on the premises the plantation on which the said Capt. Walter Smith formerly resided, containing by actual survey 1225 1-8 acres of land lying adjoining Patuxent river, bounded on the north west by the said river, on the east by a fine navigable creek, called Saint Leonard's creek, so that one and a half miles of fencing will include the whole land. The soil of this land is equal if not superior to any on Patuxent, either for farming, planting or grazing, and in their season the greatest plenty of fine fish and oysters may be had either from the river or creek. A great part of the above land is covered with Red Cedar, fit for posts or fencing.
On Tuesday the 21st on the premises, will be sold one other plantation in the Forest at about two miles distance from the former containing by survey 627 and one half acres of land, the greatest part of which is covered with hickory, chestnut and oak wood, and a great proportion of swamp land, which at a trifling expense might be converted into valuable meadow, belongs to this land.
On Thursday the 23d on the premises, will be sold one other plantation lying adjoining on Chesapeake Bay, bounded on the north east by the said bay, on the north by a creek called Parkers creek, containing by survey 536 1-2 acres of land, on this land there are a good proportion marsh and meadow land and a great abundance of fine timber.
It is thought needless to give a fuller description of the above lands; as it is presumed that those who wish to purchase will view the lands previous to the day of sale—and on application to Mr. John Turner who resides near the two first mentioned tracts; they may see the plans of the different tracts of land, and will show the lands contiguous to him; and Mr. Richard Hance who resides on the last mentioned tract, will show the outlines of the same to any person wishing to view it.
The above lands will be sold either in the whole, or be divided into parcels as may appear most advantageous for the heirs. The purchasers to give bonds with approved securities for the purchase money, to be paid in three annual payments, the interest to be paid yearly, and on the ratification of the sale by the court, and a full payment of the purchase money and interest thereon a deed of conveyance will be executed to the purchaser agreeably to an act of Assembly in such case made and provided.
