BOSTON, Nov. 25.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The foreign State Papers, published in our last, prepared the public mind to expect what is now officially announced, that WAR HAS ACTUALLY COMMENCED BETWEEN FRANCE, AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA. This intelligence is received by an arrival at New-York, from France, and at this port from England, bringing dates from the former place to the 2d, and from the latter to the 5th Oct.
At present, we find little more in the papers, by these arrivals, than what appears through the medium of official Decrees, Manifestoes, Declarations, and Addresses of the powers, engaged in a controversy. The extreme length of most of those documents, precludes the possibility of admitting them, in a paper like ours; but such extracts and summaries are now given, with those presented in our last, as will, it is hoped, afford a tolerable correct view of the design and tendency of the present European War.
The force and situation of the armies, assembling and marching to their appointed posts, will be distinctly seen in the arrangement of Warlike Preparations, given in the preceeding column.
On the subject of the French Expose , or Declaration of War , the Courier of the 2d October makes the following remarks:
In the Manifestoes and Declarations published by Bonaparte, there is a great sameness of stile and manner—the same strain of invective against England, the same professions of purity of intentions, and of regard for the welfare of mankind; the same tone of menace against those who dare to take up arms against him pervades them all.
In the exposition or declaration of war against Austria and Russia, Bonaparte speaks as if he had not himself furnished the least ground for complaint or suspicion; he adopts the language of an injured man; dwells upon the slight acquisitions which Austria has made in Germany, as if they utterly destroyed the balance of power, and keeps wholly out of sight the main fact, that for all these acquisitions an equivalent was given; upon his own principle, therefore, he has no right to complain. But in proportion as he exalts the acquisitions of Austria, he passes slightly over his own aggressions. The incorporation of Genoa, which he first represented as the free act of the Genoese, he now sees as a legitimate compensation for the extension of the Austrian possessions in Suabia. Genoa adds nothing, he says to his Continental force, though the very first measure he adopted after the incorporation was to extend the levy of men for the army to all the Genoese Department; he keeps totally out of sight all the other aggressions complained of by Austria and Russia; he is wholly silent upon his violation of the Treaty of Luneville, in respect to the Italian Helvetic, and Batavian Republic;—and of the stipulations entered into with Russia for arranging the affairs of Italy, and indemnifying the king of Sardinia—he does not seem to think that he has committed the least aggression in the union of the crown of Italy with the crown of France. He forgets whilst he is complaining of the independence of the empire, having been violated by the emperor of Germany, that he has himself violated its independence by the invasion of Hanover, by the seizure of neutral territory, imprisonment and robbery of an ambassador, by the violation of the territory of Baden, and the arrest and infamous assassination of a prince, living under the protection of an elector of the German Empire, neither does he think that he has offered the slightest umbrage to the continental powers, by the offensive language and unvarying insolence of his Journals towards every sovereign in Europe.
But does he really believe that Austria and Europe will be duped by an affected moderation of tone, or that, when every year and month gives the lie to his promises of not extending the territories of France, any power, upon a simple declaration that he does not desire further accession of territory, will lay down its arms in implicit confidence and reliance upon his word? Nothing is more prominent in Bonaparte's character than that facility with which he can change his positions, give up his opinions and contradict his assertions. After having boasted that Austria was too weak to oppose herself to the mighty power of France, and after having threatened England with annihilation, he now confesses that, "being under the hard necessity of spending 200 millions yearly to defend her coasts, maintain her colonies, and make head against the power of England,
which is so formidable, France is not more powerful than Austria"—thus quick are the transitions of a man, to whom, not a month ago, nothing seemed to be more easy than to march to London and Vienna, and to crumble into dust two of the most ancient monarchies in Europe."

INTERESTING FOREIGN EXTRACTS.
[From our English and French files.]
Nearly 10,000,000 of dollars in specie, has been shipped in England, to the continent, for the use of the allied powers; to be divided with Austria, Russia, Sweden, and perhaps, Naples and Bavaria. It has been transmitted principally in ships of war, and had been insured at Lloyd's against all risks, at from one fifth to half per cent.
Several attempts were made about the beginning of October, by the boat of sir Sydney Smith's squadron, to burn or destroy the French flotilla in Boulogne, with carcasses, &c. But with little loss and less effect.
PARIS, September 24.
His majesty, the Emperor, arrived here this day. The prefect presented to his majesty the keys of the city and the following address:
"SIRE, "HERE are the keys of Paris, of the capital of your empire, of that city you have made the first in the world.
"In offering you that ancient symbol of the submission and devotion of the city, we cannot dissemble, sire, that joy, that delicious sentiment which always signalises the arrival of your majesty within the capital, is united this day with more grave emotions.
"The annunciation of an imperial sitting of the senate, the rumors which have preceded that intelligence, those that have followed it, some circumstances that are known, others that are said to be unknown; in a word, every thing that is known or supposed, for some days has thrown the public mind into a kind of agitation, which demands only a word to become the most generous and natural impulse.
"That word, sire, we expect, and the immense crowd that is about to follow you is impatient to learn what impulse will be permitted, or what measure shall be prescribed to their indignation and their zeal.
"God forbid, sire, that we should seek to predict the designs of your high wisdom, or the conceptions of that great genius which has every where made you master of times, places and events; but if it be true, as it has been reported, that your person has been attempted, and the independence of the nation, our liberties and constitution menaced, command the defence to be proportioned to the interest of such a cause; and if it be necessary to march, believe that every thing will be soon ready to follow you, serve you and avenge you.
"Such sire are the sentiments of your good city of Paris"
This address delivered when the emperor was going in procession to the senate, smells of conspiracy discovered against the person of his majesty.
By an imperial decree, the conscripted of reserve, of the years nine, ten, eleven, twelve and thirteen, are placed in the immediate requisition.
BERLIN, Sept. 21.
A grand council of state has been held at the palace.—Since which every thing seems to announce great events. The army is put on the war footing. Our garrison is ordered to be in readiness to march in four days; and a great quantity of artillery has already been sent to Magdeburg, and Grangden. So extraordinary an activity has not been observed for many years.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 17.
Previous to the Austrian troops passing the Inn, the commandant assured the elector of Bavaria that he should respect the electoral military and civil authorities.
LOWER RHINE, Sept. 21.
The emperor of Russia has addressed the following note by a Russian charge de affairs, to the several courts of Germany:
"As his majesty the emperor of Russia, wishes to know the sentiments of each of the German princes, in the present circumstances, he enquires by these presents, what part your Highness intends to take, in the event of a war between France and the emperor of Austria? If no decisive answer be returned to this inquiry, their imperial majesties will consider it as if your
highness had taken the part of the French, and will treat your country accordingly, &c.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 2.
We owe to the politeness of Captain Crowel, of the brig Washington from Savannah, that we are enabled to lay before the readers of the MERCANTILE ADVERTISER this day a regular series of interesting European intelligence from the first to the 5th of October. The ship Tippoob Saib, captain Bowman, had arrived at Savannah in 42 days from Liverpool; she brought London papers to the 5th, and Liverpool to the 7th of October; and the extracts that follow were published in a Savannah paper of Saturday se'nnight, with which captain Crowel has obligingly favoured us:
LONDON, October 1.
Bonaparte has issued a parte has issued a declaration of war against Austria and Russia. The intelligence reached Government yesterday morning by the way of Holland. The Declaration was submitted to the Senate on the 23d ult. and it is highly probable that Bonaparte has set out from Paris to head the army assembled at Strasburgh.
October 5.
The last accounts from Vienna, in the Batavian Gazettes, reach to the 19th ult. They state that the emperor of Germany was to go to the Tyrol in the ensuing week whence he was speedily to return and proceed to Hungary to open the Diet. The Hungarians would it was thought, raise another army of reserve. The archduke Ferdinand has by this time joined the army in Bavaria.
The two columns of Austrians which have entered Suabia are estimated at thirty-six thousand men. They will be followed by the main army, under the archduke Ferdinand and general Mack. The latter arrived at Augsburg on the 18th September, and proceeded on the same day for Ulm. The Imperial troops at Bregenz are also advancing towards the west of Suabia.
It is mentioned in several articles from the Tyrol, of the 14th of September, that the Imperial troops from Venice are advancing in great force to the Adige, with a great train of battering artillery. The French were also advancing to the other side of the Adige. The bridges Della Pietra and Ponto Nuovo, at Verona, have been broken down by the French; and a third bridge strongly guarded. Marshal Massena had arrived at French Versna previous to the 13th of September, and his army had been reinforced by 4000 cavalry.
A heavy cannonade was heard at Augsburg about the 18th of September, from the side of the Tyrol and Switzerland, but no particulars were known.
The Russians continue their march to the hereditary dominions with the utmost expedition. They are allowed to halt only one day out of seven. The whole of the war establishment fixed by the court of Petersburg is stated at 300,000 men. In other words this constitutes the total number of troops destined to co-operate against France. An article, dated Petersburg the 11th ult. says, that the regiments which were to embark at Cronstadt had commenced their march for that port, where the stores and provisions were already shipped. General Kutusow had received orders to go through the Austrian territory to Salzburg, where he is to receive further instructions. The junction of the Russians with the Imperialists on the frontiers of Bavaria cannot well be expected before the middle of this month.
October 4.
It was yesterday said that ministers had actually received by the last Hamburg packet, a declaration from the king of Prussia, in answer to the note presented to him by the two imperial courts, that it was his determination to maintain a strict neutrality in the circle of lower Saxony, and that for the purpose of securing that part of Germany against encroachment by the armies of the belligerent powers he had put his own army, to the amount of 100,000, on a footing of complete preparation.
Sir Sidney Smith attended yesterday morning at the admiralty, to make his report of his late attempt to burn the Boulogne flotilla. He came no doubt to consult with the board upon his further operations and to receive instructions. Forty gun-boats are fitting out for him at Woolwich. They carry two guns, one in the bow the other in the stern. They are very light and consequently draw very little water. The following bulletin was this morning issued from the admiralty, and posted at Lloyd's.
Admiralty office Oct. 4. Extract from the log-book of his majesty's ship Haddick.
Friday, September 27, lat. 49, 8, long. 9, wind variable E. N. E. at half past two several guns fired at the N. W. at three observed his Majesty's ship Calcutta, haul out of the convoy; at half past three a heavy cannonading commenced between the Calcutta and a very large ship; observed another ship coming up, firing her bow chasers, and two more ships following her. At half past four observed the large ship to haul from the Calcutta and have too. At dark spoke the Indus Indiaman, who informed me that the ship which engaged the Calcutta, was a large frigate, and the ship in chase of her were line of battle ships. At half past nine heard a very heavy cannonading in the S. W. supposed to be between the Calcutta and the enemy. At half past ten the firing ceased. At day light four sail in sight. At noon fresh breezes and cloudy; three strange sail in sight. It is perfectly understood at the India House, that none of the Calcutta's convoy were regular Indiamen. They consisted, in all probability, of the Indus extra ship from Madras, and South Sea Whalers and Swedes. When admiral Rainer sailed from St. Helena, he left the following vessels there; the Indus, Maria Carolina (a Swede) from China; Africana, from the south seas; and a Dutch ship, prize to the Calcutta.
October 5.
In addition to the Bulletin which we gave yesterday respecting his Majesty's ship Calcutta and her convoy, we have now to communicate the following extract of the log book of the African South Whaler transmitted to the admiralty:
"Thursday, the 26th Sept. lat. 49, 23, N. long. 8, 40, W. the Calcutta made a signal for a strange fleet, and in the course of the day another for the enemy, and for the convoy to disperse. Observed a ship of the line and four frigates, with about twenty sail of merchant ships, supposed to be West Indiamen, which they had captured. Two French frigates in chase of the African, coming up sail; hauled to the windward.
"Friday, 27th—French frigates fill in chase; at about 4 P. M. saw one of the enemy open her fire upon the Calcutta, which was returned from the main guns of the latter. Apprehend that the whole convoy, except ourselves, fell into the enemy's hands. At sun-set heard the report of many guns, and observed flashes in the W. S. W.
Upon this interesting subject no official accounts have yet reached the admiralty; but it is ascertained, by dispatches brought from Admiral Cornwallis, by the Adrian cutter, lieutenant Forbes, that on Friday se'nnight, a squadron had been sent from the channel fleet in quest of the enemy. The morning of that day Rear Admiral Stirling, with 5 sail of the line rejoined Admiral Cornwallis, after an unsuccessful cruise in pursuit of the Rochefort squadron, which was known to have been out a month. Such has been the anxiety of Admiral Cornwallis for the security of our trade, that when the Adrian left the fleet he had not a single frigate with him, having dispatched them all on the look-out for the enemy.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.
Captain Stevens of the Eliza Vickary, from Havana, whose arrival we mentioned yesterday, left there the schooner Betsey, Rogers, for Rhode Island to sail in four days; schooner Richmond, Logan of Philadelphia, for Mariel and Philadelphia waiting for permit; schooner Brilliant, Howe, for Baltimore in six or eight days; ship Sally Dickinson, for Boston in two days; brig Sally, Barry, of and for Philadelphia, uncertain; ship Columbus, Atkins, for Boston just arrived; schooner Lark, Franklin, of Philadelphia, for N.

NINTH CONGRESS, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, December 3, 1805.
Resolved, on motion of Mr. Varnum, that the house do ballot for a chaplain to-morrow.
At twelve o'clock, the message from the President, was delivered to the Speaker, and read by the clerk.
Mr. J. Randolph, moved that the message, be committed to a committee of the whole house.
Mr. Nicholson moved that an additional number of copies be printed—
One member named a thousand, another fifteen hundred, and a third two thousand.
Mr. Thomas complained of former delay, in the members receiving their copies.
Mr. Nicholson replied that one thousand could be ready in two or three hours.
Ordered, that fifteen hundred copies be printed.
Mr. Randolph from the committee of Ways and Means, moved to report by bill dollars, to be appropriated to the navy department. The Secretary of the Treasury reported that the appropriations for the navy department were exhausted and sixty thousand dollars deficiency, Referred to a committee of the whole house—
Bill read twice.
Mr. Randolph moved that the blank be filled up 250,000 dollars—the house concurred—
Ordered to be engrossed, and to be read a third time to-morrow.
Petition of Wm. Smith of last session, referred to a committee of claims.
The following resolution was then read: Resolved, "That the committee of Post Offices and Post Roads, be directed to enquire whether any & what abuses, exist in the privilege of franking letters, and to take steps to remedy the same."
An amendment was moved, that after the words, "franking letters" there should be added the words "by the deputy post-masters."
This brought forward a short debate in which, some instances of the abuse of the privilege by deputy post masters were mentioned.
Mr. Elliott objected to the amendment. He wished it to be more general, so that it might extend to all, who had the privilege of franking letters.
Mr. Alston said, he wished the motion and the amendment, both to be withdrawn, and to make the resolution, to enquire whether any abuses did exist.
The amendment was then withdrawn and the resolution stood as first moved, and passed.
Wednesday, December 4, 1805.
Petition for a light house on Sandy Point referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Bill for the additional appropriation of 250,000 dollars for the naval department for the year 1805, read a third time and passed.
It was then Resolved, That so much of the Message
of the president as relates to the quarantine and health laws, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.

COMMERCIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Prices and Remarks on the Liverpool Market Sept. 14, 1805, communicated in a letter to a respectable merchant of Boston.
"We believe the harvest in this kingdom is not more than half completed; the weather since our price current has not been favourable, but there is no alteration in prices. We conceive if the weather does not materially improve, that there will be some advance, and if it should prove favorable during the remainder of the harvest, it seems generally believed that there will not be much, if any, reduction in the prices of Grain and Flour. At present the demand is dull, prime American Wheat may be quoted at 13s a 13s 6 per 70 lbs. and superfine Flour at 50s a 51s per barrel.
"Upland and New Orleans Cotton continue in brisk demand, and it seems not improbable that there will be some further advances before the new crop begins to arrive, and as usual some depression may take place after the commencement of the next year; but on the extent of this much will depend on the prospect there is regarding the supply from the new crop. There is very little demand for fine cottons, and it is the opinion of those who seem best informed on the subject, that they will continue in a dull state for some little time longer; purchasers decline coming into the market until the Demarara fleet arrives, which is soon expected; when this fleet comes in, and if the quantity of cotton which it brings should not prove large, we think the demand will improve for the finer descriptions of cotton.
"We expect both Pot and Pearl Ashes will materially decline in prices, as sufficient supplies seems to be coming forward, if this takes place, we should not be surprised to see a considerable reduction.
"Rice is likely to continue a dull article, as the quality is so very inferior this year.
"Our market seems sufficiently stocked with Quercitron Bark, it at present meets a dull sale, but it is expected there will be a greater call for it in the course of a few months.
"We calculate that there are about 700 barrels of Turpentine held on speculation, which were purchased about six months ago at from 15 a 16s per cwt. What comes in is sufficient to supply the consumption, and we see no prospect of this article increasing in price. Tar is not likely to be lower than 18s per bbl.
"The prices of Tobacco are pretty steady.
"We expect a quarantine will be laid on all vessels, as usual, coming from a port where any epidemic rages, and perhaps it may be laid on some vessels without a just cause. When therefore you ship any goods in any vessel, it will be desirable, if practicable, to send a clean Bill of Health with her, and likewise the British Consul's Certificate that the city is in a perfect healthy state, and that no fever rages.
certificate that the city is in a perfect healthy state, and that no fever rages.
The war which appears likely to take place on the Continent, does not seem likely to produce any unfavourable effect upon our trade; and it is the opinion of many, that our trade there will now be conducted with more facility than it has been for some time past.

From the United States Gazette.
HIGH MATTERS. —During the administrations of General Washington and Mr. Adams, the democratic papers in general and the Aurora in particular were filled with the most frightful accounts of public money being plundered and squandered by those who had been intrusted with the keeping of it. These declarations were encouraged and paid for by those who have now got into place and who promised to correct the procedure. When Mr. Jefferson came into power and made a general sweep of the old officers we were told that it was merely an act of justice; that it was a cleansing of the Augean stable; that those who were turned out were peculators and defaulters; and that those who succeeded were honest men and patriots in whose hands the people's money would be as safe as in an iron chest. This order of things continued as long as the editor of the Aurora continued to be permitted to fleece the public of as much money as he thought proper under color of contracts for stationary, printing, &c. &c. But the time at length arrived when those who held the purse strings thought that he had got his share, and began to limit him in his allowance. From that time we began to perceive mysterious insinuations relative to the treasury department. After a while those insinuations became more general and extended to other branches of the government, till at length the whole administration has become corrupt, and we are now plainly told, in totidem verbis, that the whole administration is engaged in the worst possible species of corruption; namely in issuing money from the treasury of the United States to individual officers for the diabolical purpose of influencing a state election. The following is copied, verbatim, from the Aurora of yesterday.
"It is an undoubted fact that the present governor of this state, Thomas McKean, succeeded at the late election, by means corrupt and base. The falsehood and imposture were circulated by the use of money drawn out of the United States treasury, by officers resident in Pennsylvania. Is it not strange that in Pennsylvania,
the first state to stand forth in support of Mr. Jefferson, nearly all the offices in his APPOINTMENT should be filled by men between whom and the federalists there is but a slight shade of difference? Where then are Mr. Jefferson's friends; In the minority, where are Mr. Jefferson's enemies? In the majority. What made them in the majority? The officers of Mr. Jefferson's appointment—the money drawn from the United States treasury, the influence of the treasury itself."
Such is the account which the Aurora gives of the use which Mr. Jefferson's administration make of the public treasury: Let them look to this matter. The editor of the Aurora is well acquainted with these men: he has been nursed and brought up by them; he knows their characters and their conduct from long and confidential intimacy. He cannot be mistaken in these things; and they themselves have long taught us to believe that he is honest, and disinterested and patriotic in all his statements of the conduct of public officers. When he brought similar charges against Washington, and Hamilton, and Adams, and Pickering, and Wolcott, &c. &c. all these gentlemen who are now concerned, with one accord cried out, these things are certainly so"—and paid him liberally for his pains. It is therefore incumbent on them to prove that his character has since changed, or else his testimony is conclusive against themselves.

VALUABLE FAMILY MEDICINES.
Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine e- ver before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for re- storing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fever and Ague, long Autumnal Fever, Dy- sentery, &c. They are also a very pleasant bit- ter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be- speaks their intrinsic worth. They have proved invariably efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fe- vers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Catarrhals, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genu- ine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disa- greeable complaint called the ITCH . Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious Pills, or Family Phyic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their in- trinsic worth. In great cases and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often pro- duces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diz- ziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysen- teries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle— price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste,
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbatic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and high- ly esteemed by all those who value the preservati- on of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authen- ticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in ex- treme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.
Dr. Cooley's Vegetable Elixir; Or Cough Drops,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthma, spitting of blood, and all diseases of the lungs . Its merits stands unrivalled. Price 50 cents a bottle.
