LONDON, Sept. 18.
A letter from Berlin of the 4th inst. states, that the private correspondence between the Emperor of Russia and the king of Prussia, which had been suspended since the murder of the Duke of Enghien, has been renewed; and that within the three last weeks four couriers had arrived from and returned to Russia, with no other dispatches than this Imperial and Royal correspondence. To prevent the secret agents of Bonaparte's secret police from stopping and robbing these couriers—they travel in both Russia and Prussia, under the escort of light dragoons of hussars. Bonaparte's emissary at Berlin, La Foret, is however not idle, having attempted to bribe over a young man, lately made a private secretary to a person high in favor at court both with the king and queen, but who, fortunately, was trusted with no other secrets than those concerning the internal administration; this attempt was discovered by the great expense and extravagance of his victim, who is now shut up at Spandau. It is said, that the parents of this young man have made a complaint, in a petition to Bonaparte, of La Foret's treacherous conduct, but the answer is easily foreseen. It is observed at Berlin, that the English, Russian, and Swedish ministers there, make a kind of coterie among themselves, and seldom see the other members of the diplomatic corps, except when at court. Even the Austrian and Danish ministers are not often visited by them. By the French courier, arrived at Berlin, on the second, La Foret received on two banking houses remittances to the amount of 25,000 louis d'ors.
Copies of Bonaparte's answer to the ultimatum of the Emperor of Russia, are now circulating on the continent. We have not yet received a complete copy of this document, which is couched in terms of the greatest insolence and most unqualified malignity. The following outline of its contents will enable any person to form a pretty correct idea of this production.
After stating that France will not be dictated to by any other power on earth, Bonaparte asks why if the Emperor be desirous of war, he does not at once openly declare his sentiments? why he does not commence and justify hostilities in some manly way, rather than have recourse to the simulating artifice of demanding satisfaction for the violation of the neutrality of Germany, by the seizure and the pretended assassination of the Duke D'Enghien. The answer then proceeds to justify these flagitious and abominable principles, and afterwards insultingly asks, whether the Emperor of Russia would not have acted in the same manner under similar circumstances? It concludes with a remark, impertinent as unprincipled, that it could not be supposed that a monarch, who felt such a lively interest on this occasion, would not, if the murderers of his father (the Emperor Paul) were within his reach, use every effort to bring them to justice. We hope soon to be able to lay a full copy of this document before our readers.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated August 21.
"Orders has been received here to fit out one ship of 112 guns, one of 80 guns, and one of 74 guns, which are to sail for Ferrol the instant they can be manned. These orders have excited considerable uneasiness here, as we are much afraid these ships are intended to join the French ships lying there, which must inevitably produce a rupture with England."
"A frigate has arrived at Vigo, from Vera Cruz, with three millions of dollars on board, and two others, with each three millions more on board, are daily expected, as they were to sail shortly afterwards.—Our Government sometime ago sent the most urgent orders to Vera Cruz to send home every dollar that could be collected, in fact taking frigates, as they were apprehensive of their communication being cut off with South America."
"England, however, seems to be playing the same complaisant game she did in 1761; viz. to allow us to receive all our treasure ships home in safety, and then we shall go to war with you; for a war you will have whenever it suits the convenience or will of Bonaparte, and which, where is great reason to believe, will soon be the case."
"General Moreau and his wife are still here. Several of our regiments have been reviewed before him, though he appears only to be a private spectator.—He dresses in a plain blue coat, and has nothing either in his manner, or air, that
indicates the soldier or the hero. He does not sail for America till after his wife's delivery, who is far advanced in pregnancy."
"We have been much alarmed with the fever again appearing at Malaga, and every precaution has been adopted to prevent its spreading here. The deaths on the 11th were upwards of fifty a day, but they have since decreased considerably. The faculty report from Malaga, that fifteen out of twenty died. This, however, may be as much owing to their ignorance as the malignity of this disorder, as the science of medicine is miserably neglected in this country.—The government physician and his assistant have been again ordered to Malaga from thence, as they were last year."
SEPTEMBER 19.
It was reported last week upon the Exchanges of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, that Lucien Bonaparte had remitted from Leghorn, Genoa, Venice, and Trieste, to banking houses in Holland, and at Hamburg and Lubeck, no less than twenty millions of livres, 840,000 l. to be placed in the English funds, under five different names, but that the spies of his worthy brother Napoleon had discovered this politico-financial manoeuvre, and with the exception of six millions of livres, 250,000 l. Napoleon had counteracted the intents of Lucien, and laid an embargo on the money. It is even said, that two of Lucien's agents have been taken up, and sent to France, and that orders have been sent to Lucien, where Lucien lately resided to confine him. Another rumour is current, that he had previously made his escape on board a neutral vessel, at Leghorn, and failed either for America or England. We do not know what credit is due to these reports, nor whether they are entitled to any. We know, however, from private letters, both from France and Italy, that Madame Bonaparte, the mother, and Pauline Bonaparte, the Princess Borghese, have in vain attempted to reconcile the mock Emperor with his sans culotte brother, and that the former has forbidden the latter to set his foot not only in France, but upon the territory of the Italian Republic. Even Louis Bonaparte sought to effect a reconciliation, and went as far as Turin to speak to Lucien, but there a courier from Napoleon overtook him; ordering him to return to Paris. Madame Bonaparte, the mother, and her brother Cardinal Fesch, with the other members of the Bonaparte family, are, however, in hopes, with the assistance of Cardinal Caprara, Gambacini, and Talleyrand, to overcome the prejudices of the liberal Napoleon, and that, before his mock coronation, another mock senatus consultum will be proclaimed, making Lucien and Jerome Bonaparte revolutionary Imperial Highnesses, and restoring to them their withheld rights, and the permission, privilege and etiquette to salute the Austrian and Prussian Princes their Dear Cousins!!!
SEPTEMBER 21.
By the Hamburg mail we have received a letter from Paris, dated the 5th inst. which states, that the purport of the orders sent by the king of Sweden to his ambassador there is, that he shall leave that city in six days, and the Swedes residing there in his majesty's service, in the course of fourteen. M. Signeul, the agent general for trade, will alone remain there to superintend the commercial affairs of Sweden.
Letters from Amsterdam state, that the Russian legation is expected soon to leave that place. This is a matter of course.
SEPTEMBER 22.
A morning paper states that letters have been received from Ferrol of the 10th, which assert (in contradiction of the accounts which were understood to have been received by the Spanish charge d'Affaires) that 20,000 of the insurgents were then intrenched to resist the commands of the Spanish government, but that the latter, instead of yielding, to the propositions of the former, had ordered that troops should advance against them from all quarters—and that the forces at Ferrol should be conveyed to Bilboa with the greatest expedition by sea.
The hostile disposition between our court and that of Spain, appears to be in a certain degree compromised. The Spanish minister, M. d'Anduaga, has returned to town, after escorting his family to the coast. The hon. Mr. Wellesley, report says, is to replace Mr. Frere at the court of Madrid.
Letters of a very recent date from Bilboa give the following account of
the cause of the late disturbances:
"As the corregidor of Bilboa was making the annual round, for the purpose of taking down the names of those persons who are liable to be enrolled in the militia of that country, he was seized by some of the populace, and put under duress. The military force was called out, but the soldiers proving unequal to resist the torrent of popular indignation, they were all cut to pieces after ineffectual efforts to release the public officer."
"Tranquility has been since restored, but on what conditions we are not informed. The Biscayans have always resisted the application of that particular law to them; but their opposition never assumed so serious a character before."
The brother to the king of France sailed on Wednesday last, with a fair wind, for Gottenburg, under convoy of a gun brig. Previous to his departure he received a letter from his most christian majesty, which is understood to contain an assurance that the emperor of Russia and the king of Sweden are willing to acknowledge Louis XVIII and his hereditary claims to the throne of France and Navarre, provided England will set them the example.
SEPTEMBER 23.
A most formidable fleet is now collected for the protection of the coast against any attempt from the flotilla at Boulogne. There are no less than between forty and fifty sail of ships of war assembled in the Downs, independent of the force at Dungeness and off the French coast.
Mr. Foster, youngest son of Lady Elizabeth Foster, will immediately set off for Washington, where he is appointed a Secretary of legation to Mr. Merry.
By a proclamation in the gazette of Saturday, parliament is farther prorogued to the 27th of November, on which day it will positively meet for the dispatch of business.
SEPTEMBER 24.
The two important questions respecting the new title of emperor of Austria, and the violation of the German empire, have been taken into consideration by the diet at Ratisbon, and have received such a decision as might be expected from the present degraded state of Europe.
A gentleman, who left Paris on the 11th, and Rotterdam on the 18th, announces, as a rumour in France and Holland, that the emperor of Russia has intimated to the court of Copenhagen, that, in the event of a rupture with France, his imperial majesty could not suffer any French agents to reside in the Danish dominions, or endure, upon the part of Denmark, a neutrality that must be injurious to Europe. A declaration nearly to the same effect is said to have been made to the Ottoman Porte by the Russian ambassador at Constantinople. Private letters state, that count Rostoffmouki, the Russian ambassador at Vienna, has been recalled, and is succeeded at that court by only a Charge d'Affaires.
A gentleman, who on Friday arrived in town from the continent, relates, that an alliance has been actually concluded between Austria, Prussia, and France, which comprises, among other extraordinary matters, the concurrence of the former power to the proposed election of Frederick William to be king of the Romans, and to the house of Brandenburg being the future head of the Germanic body. For this concession (to which, it is stated, the emperor Francis was in some degree incited by the increased influence of Prussia among the electors, with a conviction of its further increase through the ascendancy of France) his imperial majesty, in addition to the hereditary title of emperor of Austria is to receive a large accession of territory, which Turkey is to be compelled to alienate.
The confines of France and Prussia are also to be considerably augmented; but the particulars are not mentioned, nor perhaps as yet thoroughly defined.
SEPTEMBER 26.
Dispatches were received on Saturday from our fleet off Brest, which left all well last Wednesday. The enemy remained at single anchor, but their whole division has been lately painted, and the ships have had all their yards, tops, and bends newly varnished. Several small parties of soldiers have deserted lately in open boats from Brest, and Camaret Point battery, to the frigates of our inshore squadron. They say, that the troops are discontented with their inactivity; but that the fleets in the outer
road have troops on board, and have positive orders to endeavor to pull out the first opportunity that offers.
PARIS, Sept. 5.
A report was current last week upon the exchange at Marseilles, that the Emperor of Russia has ordered an embargo to be laid on all ships in the port of Odessa. It is concluded from this measure, that the court of St. Petersburg has determined to embark all the troops encamped in the vicinity of that place, and who, some say amount to 40,000 men. What we know for certain is, that our government has received no information of such an event, and that there are not Russian ships enough at Odessa to carry into the Mediterranean half the number of troops.
Journal des Défenseurs.
It is said that the emigrant count de Belleval, at present the confidential minister of Prince Ypsilanti, the Hospodar of Wallachia, and who has resided here for near six weeks, has in the name of his sovereign, demanded to put this province under the protection of the French, and to become tributary to the French, instead of the Turkish empire. In the present circumstances, when a certain power is exciting the Turkish subjects of the Grecian church to insurrection every where, this may, perhaps, be the only means of preventing Wallachia from those disturbances, which distract the other Turkish provinces in Europe, as well as in Asia and Africa.
Le Gazette de France.
PARIS, September 7.
Grosbois, the late estate of Moreau, has been purchased by Marshal Murat, together with some forests and lands which Barras, the former owner of Grosbois, had hitherto kept. Barras is at present in this city, and has obtained leave to reside at the place of his birth in Provence.
Ten Cardinals will accompany the Pope in his journey from Rome to Paris. Four members of the council of state will go to meet and receive him at the French frontiers. When at Paris, a part of the Thuilleries will be assigned him for his residence. The Emperor Napoleon will put the crown on his self, and the Pope will give him his blessing. The ceremonies with which the Pope will be received on the French territory have been arranged with all the solemnity and distinction suitable to his dignity.
Besides the four counsellors of state, a deputation, consisting of prelates, senators, members of the legislative body and of the tribunate, great officers of the crown, and members of the legion of honour, will be sent to meet his holiness on the frontiers of Italy.
SEPTEMBER 11.
They write from Dijon, that priests are continually passing through that town, whom government, on account of their obstinacy and refractory spirit, is obliged to transport or banish. Their conduct in the country, among the common people, has caused many sanguinary scenes; whilst it has disgraced every good Frenchman, either a christian or patriot. Last week, five priests were confined in the prisons of this town, and afterwards, by the order of the emperor, were transported, under the escort of gens d'armes, to Rimini, in Italy. During their confinement, fanatics and devotees surrounded their prison, brought them abundance to eat and drink; and, when their condemnation was known, subscribed a sum of money, so that each priest received fifty louis d'ors.
From this it may be judged that the fanatics are not among the low classes of the people, or that their pious zeal must be maintained by the gold of British heretics.
One priest, from the department of Meurth, attempted to preach to the people from the windows of his prison, telling them that the chief of the Roman catholic church was not free, and, of course, his acts and appointments could not; with other seditious expressions, which caused him to be removed to a dungeon, where he might gratify his envy of preaching a folioquy.
It is hoped that his holiness the Pope, by his presence in this country, will restore to consciences that tranquility, of which those of the ignorant, weak and timid, have so long been deprived; and which has given rogues or fools so many opportunities to trouble government, and to mislead the people.
Under the 12,649 persons who died last year in the district of Borgo, in the grand duchy of Finland, 3,576 fell victims to the small pox; a great loss in-
deed, and which the earlier introduction of the cow pox might have prevented.
It was on the day of St. Napoleon, that field marshal Jourdan decorated himself, and distributed, among the officers and men under his command in Italy, the crosses, as members of the legion of honour.
The ceremony and the day were celebrated with great pomp, under a salute of 101 guns.—In the evening, the field marshal gave a ball, at which 1,200 persons, of both sexes, were present.—The city of Milan was illuminated in a most beautiful manner, and nothing was seen but rejoicings or heard but Vive l'Empereur Napoleon!
It is reported, but not believed, that the emperor has recalled his charge d'affaires in Sweden, M. Gaillard, without appointing him a successor. But, as long as the Moniteur is silent on this subject, it can be nothing else than a false rumour.
The finances of most of the Italian states are very much deranged of late years, having all been sufferers more or less, directly or indirectly, from the late disastrous wars. This misfortune is common to Tuscany. For a long time its treasures and resources have been exhausted, and its debts augmented. The evil has arrived at that height, that the queen regent of Etruria has been forced to appoint a committee, charged to find out some remedy to re-establish order & regularity in the finances. The members of the committee are, chevalier Pollamboni, marquis Giffi, prince Neri Corsini, and the counsellors of state, Leonardo, Luttini, Spanocchi, and Fabbri.
AIX LA CHAPELLE, September 3.
Letters from Italy mention, that the English commerce has lately sustained a great deal of injury from French and Italian privateers in the Adriatic. A number of captures are stated to have been made of very considerable value.
WESEL, September 8.
The emperor Napoleon is now in our vicinity. He passed last night at a castle of the marquis of Hombroek, and is expected this evening at Grevel.
MENTZ, September 8.
The Russian charge d'affaires is arrived here from Paris, and will remain here some time.
All the inns here are full; apartments have been taken for the hereditary prince of Darmstadt, for the reigning and hereditary princes of Leiningen, the princes of Nassau and Ysenburg, &c. Yesterday evening, however, advice was received here that their imperial majesties would not leave Aix la Chapelle so soon as was expected; and that they would visit the fortifications of Zullers, and several fields of battle, as at Altenhofen, Cologne, &c.
It is said the emperor will remain here till the 17th.
BERLIN, Sept. 11.
The French minister here, La Forest, left this city yesterday for Mentz, to meet his sovereign. Before his departure he had a long conference with our minister of state, baron Hardenberg.
The Staff Officer d'Arberg arrived here yesterday from the emperor of the French. It is said that he has brought with him a letter to our king, in the emperor's own hand writing.
A French Courier who passed through this city, carries, it is said, an order to the French Charge d'Affaires at St. Petersburg, immediately to leave that city, and the Russian States.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 8.
Prince Dalgoouky, Prince Scherbatoff, and several other Russian subjects, who, since the peace have resided in France, have arrived here.
BANKS of the Maine, Sept. 8.—It is not yet certain whether the emperor will go to Strasburgh, as he only intends to visit the new departments on the Rhine.
It is said that the King of Spain will proclaim himself an Emperor, and the elector of Bavaria a King.
ITALY, August 30.
The French commanders in the Neapolitan territory have given orders that every ship which is suspected of conveying provisions to the English ships, or the island of Malta, shall be immediately detained.
The Pope will make the journey to Paris for the coronation of the emperor at the expence of the French government and with the greatest splendour. Many cardinals and other prelates, with a great

part of the officers of the Papal Court, will accompany his holiness, who will set out for Paris on the 26th of September.
LIEGNITZ, August 20.
Yesterday arrived here from Paris, a Courier to the French General, who immediately gave orders to take an account of all the ships belonging to Russia, Sweden, and another Power, that were in this harbour. There were several Russian ships but only 2 Swedish. This morning the Etrurian Gen. La Billette, issued orders that no ship belonging to the above powers should be suffered to sail. The French General has likewise placed a French privateer at the entrance of the harbour, and French soldiers in guard boats which lies in the middle harbour. Etrurian soldiers are ordered on board the ships, which, however, may unload without any interruption. There are no Russian ships here at present.
VENICE, August 24.
We have just learned the contents of the instructions which the French Ambassador at Rome lately received. Ancona and Civita Vecchia will again be occupied by French troops. Similar demands appear to have been made in Naples. The reinforcements of Foreign troops, which have arrived in the Republic of the Seven Islands, appear to have given rise to these measures.
August 28.
"We have just received the important news that the Emperor of Austria has given orders to the Generals who command in this country to march all their disposable troops into Albania. A number of vessels have already been detained to convey these troops by sea. From the first advice of the occupation of Corfu by the Russians, all enlightened politicians considered it as one of the most sensible blows that could be aimed at Austria. That Court no longer dissembles its extreme discontent on this subject. A hundred long and cruel wars have been waged for less important causes."
VIENNA, August 25.
As our Court has acknowledged the Hereditary Imperial dignity in the family of the First Consul of France, this measure is a certain pledge of its pacific intentions. It is consequently determined that it will not take any part in the dispute which it is apprehended will soon be realised between France and Russia, since it is not probable that the former will yield to the remonstrances made by the latter, and particularly in regard to its last ultimatum, nor that it will withdraw its troops from Hanover. However, as the war between England and France has been the cause of that likely to take place between the latter and Russia, it is unfortunately too probable that the flames may extend even on the Continent: our Court, therefore, is taking measures of precaution, being persuaded that a respectable situation is the best means of preserving peace. The soldiers, who receive leave of absence at the summer reviews, are immediately replaced by new recruits, and the different corps are kept at the full complement. Frequent Couriers pass between the Courts of Vienna, Peterburgh, London, and Paris. We wish to flatter ourselves with the hope of some arrangement; but the shocks which Europe has experienced since the French Revolution, have not permitted it to recover its equilibrium, and consequently to resume a stable and permanent position: as long as this position is not established, there will be no solid and durable peace.
COTTENBURG, Sept. 14.
"A war between Sweden and France seems unavoidable, for in consequence of the severe observations contained in the Moniteur of the 14th ult. upon the King of Sweden's Notes delivered at the Diet of Ratisbon, the latter has prohibited all French papers from being circulated in Sweden; and by the post from Stockholm of the 10th inst. we learn, that a courier from the King arrived there on Saturday last, the 8th inst. when a Council was immediately summoned at which it was determined to prohibit all the French papers, and to forbid, upon pain of dismissal, all the civil and military officers from holding any communication with the French Charge d'Affaires, who in consequence left Stockholm on the 10th inst."
"The reason of the above-mentioned proceedings seems to be sufficiently explained by a fact stated in private letters, received by the last Hamburg mail. These letters state, that Bonaparte's emissaries in Sweden are busily employed in distributing translations in the Swedish language of his late official libel in the Moniteur against the king of Sweden."
Orders were received on Friday at Plymouth for all the frigates to get ready for sea as soon as possible.
A letter from an officer of one of our in-shore cruisers off Flushing, states, that on Tuesday last, at 11 A. M. turning towards Flushing, they saw seven teen sail of Schooners and luggers running down under Dutch colours; at 9 A. M. they anchored in Ostend Roads,
from whence they were joined by ten other Schooners and forty sail of Schuyts with troops on board. Seven sail of Schooners remained in Ostend Roads, the rest ran for Dunkirk. On Thursday they all went into Dunkirk harbour, where they judged there might be about one hundred sail of the same sort of vessels, and three praams. The cutter boarded three neutral vessels which came out of Ostend; they informed him, that there had been an embargo there for two months, but that it was taken off when the flotilla had failed, and that only one frigate was left behind at Flushing to serve as a guard ship, &c. all the rest of the flotilla had failed of every description. The troops are represented to be discontented with their state of inactivity; they had hoped before this to have shared the wealth of this "proud island of shop-keepers."
It is supposed, from the frequent observations which have been made by Lord Keith and Sir Home Popham, on the state of the enemy's fortifications on the opposite coast, that an attempt is to be made to destroy the flotilla collected in the harbours of Calais and Boulogne. The latter is so perfectly protected by the commanding heights which form the harbour, as to render any enterprize of the kind on the sea side absolutely impracticable. The same advantages secure it against bombardment.
Extract of a letter from the Mediterranean, brought by the Agincourt. "There are 11 sail of the line off Toulon, with Lord Nelson; and the French have 8 sail of the line, in perfect readiness for sea, which occasionally come out, when our ships are at a distance off the shore. The infirm state of his Lordship's health, it is confidently believed in the fleet, will cause him to return to England immediately, in the Medusa frigate, Captain Gort. The Russians, it is supposed, intend to send a force into Naples. Genoa is so closely blockaded by the English, that no vessel can come out without being captured. We keep a ship of the line in Naples Bay to watch the movements of the French, who are not far distant from that neighbourhood. The Straits of Messina and that coast, are guarded by five frigates, under the command of Captain Calcraft of the Anson, to prevent the French taking possession of Sicily."
According to letters which are stated to have been received from our blockading squadron off the Texel, the Russian squadron in that port lately have indicated something of a disposition to put to sea. For nearly ten days all the officers were strictly commanded to ship on board their respective ships, and expected to sail as soon as an opportunity presented itself. The Dutch ships were represented by the captain of a Prussian ship, who was spoken by our cruisers, as being victualled for 6 months; and hence an idea was entertained that they were to proceed on some distant expedition. The number of ships ready for sea, the same captain stated, to be six ships of the line, four frigates, and a few smaller vessels. The land troops on board were not more than 5000 men. These stories have, however, been so often repeated, that little credit can be attached to them.
A Glasgow gentleman on his arrival at Frankfort, 1st September, 1804, writes home to his correspondents: "On my journey through Hanover I met with several regiments marching towards the Elbe. As far as I could learn, it is supposed that their intention is to block up the passage of British goods from Hamburg and Lubeck, into the interior of Germany, and some even go so far as to say, that they are to take possession of Mecklenburg, by which, if they succeed, a final stop will be put to the expediting of goods from these quarters."
September 26.
We become more and more convinced that the invasion will shortly be attempted. Our last advices from Brest left the fleet of 21 sail of the line in the outer harbour, with orders to sail the 1st favourable wind.
Corfu, July 12.
The greatest confusion prevails along the whole Venetian shore, in consequence of the open violation of the convention, concluded in the year 1800, and guaranteed by the allied powers, by virtue of which the towns Barga, Preveza, Batimino, and Vahlissa, were to receive particular privileges. In defiance of this convention, the restless Ali Pacha has taken possession of the territory of these towns, which has occasioned a general alarm; the inhabitants have applied to the plenipotentiary, count Moscheniga, but he declines taking any measure which may have the slightest appearance of hostilities against the Porte, with which Russia wishes to maintain the most perfect good understanding. His whole interference in this affair is confined to an application to the Divan in behalf of the oppressed towns. In the mean time we enjoy here perfect tranquillity under the protection of our new constitution, thanks to the presence of the Russian troops, who, besides the advantages they derive by the money they expend, are a restraint on the turbulent and factious. We hope that the anar-
chical principles that have been scattered among us, to excite the flames of discord, will gradually be entirely extirpated.
LONDON, Sept. 19.
The Hamburg mail which arrived this day, has brought information of some facts not known before.
The assumption of the title of Emperor of the French by Bonaparte, has been notified to the Sublime Porte. It was received with some complimentary expressions; but to the demand that it should be acknowledged by that power, an answer was given, purporting, that it would be time enough to do so when the two great powers of Europe, England and Russia, should have set the example? This shews pretty plainly that the Porte, remembering the instance of Gallic pride manifested in the invasion of Egypt, has more reliance on that very power, against which France endeavors to excite its jealousy, than it has on the cabinet of St. Cloud.
France has expressed great uneasiness at the number of Russian ships with troops, which have passed through the Bosphorus. Every artifice which could be devised has been resorted to, to induce the Turk to prevent any more from passing. It is now, however, pretty obvious, that its efforts in this respect will prove fruitless; and that, in fact, these very troops are sent there for the protection of the Turkish Greek provinces, against any attempt that may be made by France in that quarter.
A declaration of war may be hourly looked for between Russia and France; the subsidy is completed on the part of England, and the first Russian squadron, consisting of three sail of the line, three frigates, and a cutter, which have been cruising in the North Sea, are daily expected to rendezvous off Yarmouth, where the necessary preparations are made for their re-victualling, &c. On this fact our readers may rely. We have heard from another quarter, that a number of transports, filled with Russian troops & value were ready to sail on the first notice, in order to pass the Sound before the commencement of the winter season.
Answer of the Sublime Porte to the last Note of the French Ambassador.
CONSTANTINOPLE, August 9. "The Sublime Porte has received and considered the note delivered to it by its friend, the French ambassador. It imports that Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul, has been appointed Emperor of the French; that the representatives of the French empire at foreign courts, as also those of powers in France, until they shall have received their new credentials, will abstain from all reciprocal official communication, though without neglecting the pressing occurrences of the time. The Sublime Porte, according to its usual sincerity, participates with the most intimate satisfaction in every increase of the dignity, honor and glory of every power with which it has friendly connections; it is consequently notified to the said ambassador, out friend, that since the reputed bands of friendship and concord between the two powers have been renewed, the Sublime Porte has received with the most sincere joy the intelligence of the late occurrences in France, which, since they lay a foundation for the welfare and tranquillity of that empire, must have a beneficial effect on the general tranquillity and security. With respect to the communications, it is admitted that the correspondence on any business that may occur shall be carried on by no non-official communications till the necessary changes shall be made in the credentials on either side. The Sublime Porte will always avail itself with pleasure of every opportunity still more to strengthen and confirm the friendship so happily subsisting between it and France."
August 31.
The violation of treaties allowed by our government, in permitting a free passage of the Bosphorus to the Russian troops—the troops which that nation has successively sent into the late Venetian islands, and the movements which have taken place in the Morea, are not the only circumstances that excite our anxiety.
Profiting by the ascendancy which she has gradually acquired, Russia has torn from us almost all our commerce and our vessels (the Turkish) now navigate the Black sea under the Russian flag. We see it, and can afford no remedy. The situation of the province of Wallachia and Moldavia is not less the object of our solicitude.
The province of Moldavia & Wallachia, which by the contiguity of their territory, the conformity of their government, and particularly by the close union of their two princes, must be considered as one country, for the last thirty years, have acquired a great importance in the politics of the eastern parts of Europe.
Since the division of Poland, that country has become the principal frontier of the Ottoman empire, on the side of Russia, as she had before been on the side of Austria. The invasion of the Crimea and of the Turkish provinces bordering upon the Black sea, and the
uncertain state of Egypt, render its agricultural produce indispensable to the supply of Constantinople. Thus their loss would compromise the existence of the Ottoman power by the two fold danger of invasion and revolt. However, if we consider on one side the political history of these provinces, and upon the other, the present state of their internal government, we cannot mistake that their invasion is meditated, and prepared that it may be carried into effect by the slightest crisis.
CONSTANTINOPLE, August 10.
The Porte has signified to the French ambassador its wish, that before it acknowledges the French imperial dignity, the same may be acknowledged by the Russian and English courts.
August 16.
It is reported that the Pacha of Greda has obtained a victory over Abdul Wechab.
FULDA, September 9.
The Russian counsellors of legation Baykoff Lanskoi and Lowenstein, have left Paris with the charge d'affaires of their nation.
On the 7th instant the Russian courier, Zimmanoff, passed through this place for St. Petersburg. He was despatched two days before by the Russian charge d'affaires d'Oubril, at Mentz.

GENERAL THURIOT, Minister Plenipotentiary of the Emperor of France, has arrived at this place.
Massachusetts's Election.
The prints of Boston no longer consider the issue of this election doubtful. Two hundred and eighty two towns give the following votes to the electoral ticket.
  Republican 23,883   Federal 20,675   Majority 3,208   It is probable that ten of the new representatives are republican—Mr. Curtis is certainly re-elected.   New Hampshire seems to have yielded to the same impulse of patriotism with Massachusetts, her associate in revolutionary whiggism.   Thirty-eight towns give the electoral ticket the following votes.   Republican 2,438   Federal 2,345   Republican majority 93   At the August election the votes were   Federal 2,930   Republican 2,539   Federal Majority 391   Constituting a republican gain of 484 votes. 
The Senate of the state of New-York have concurred in the appointment of Samuel L. Mitchell, Senator of the United States in the room of Gen. Armstrong.
The votes for two electors in Frederick county, Maryland, were for
  Dr. John Tyler, 1523   F. Tilghman, 1521 
These gentlemen are both republican.
Congressional Register.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19.
Mr. Speaker laid before the House a letter from Thomas M c Kean Thompson secretary of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, enclosing the resignation of Mr. William Hoge a representative from that state, a proclamation of the governor directing a new election and the return thereof, which was ordered to the committee of Elections.
Gen. Varnum presented a petition from a number of the inhabitants of Cambridge near Boston, praying for the establishment of a port of delivery at that town; it was accompanied by a recommendation from Benjamin Nichols collector at the port of Boston.
Referred to the committee of Commerce and Manufactures.
Mr. Nelson presented a petition from Samuel Carlson, an alien, praying Congress to pass a law to enable him and his heirs to hold a real estate he has purchased in the county of Alexandria in the territory of Columbia.
Referred to a committee of three.
Dr. Mitchell called the attention of the House to a subject he considered of importance to the literary institutions of the United States. Understanding that an application was about to be made to
Congress from the college of Princeton for an abatement of the Banded duties due on a recent importation of books and philosophical apparatus, imported for the use of that Seminary, he undertook to forestall the fate of the application. The committee would probably report as had been usual—that the prayer of the petition cannot be granted. True, gentlemen felt it a painful task to report negatively, but such had ever been the case. Yet he would advocate a relaxation of that principle: he had himself when applied to on such occasions replied that the United States wanted revenue and of course must seek it from the imports as well of literary institutions as of private individuals; but this reason has now less weight than heretofore—Laying out of the question all that relates to the importance of education, especially in a republican government like that of the United States, he would only remark that the President's message showed that such was the flourishing state of our affairs generally, particularly of our revenue, that we might now dispense with the collection of duties on these importations. He thereupon moved that the committee of Ways and Means be instructed to enquire into the expediency of exempting from import all such books and philosophical apparatus as shall be imported on account of colleges and universities for the benefit of those learned institutions, and that they report by bill or otherwise.
The motion passed in the affirmative. On motion of Mr. J. Clay, the house agreed to the resolution requesting the President to make to capt. S. Decatur a present of a sword, and the officers and crew of the ketch Intrepid two months pay, as an honorable testimonial of the services which Congress entertain of their services in destroying the Tripoline frigate of 44 guns in the harbour of Tripoli.
The words at the end of the resolution "late U. S. frigate Philadelphia," on motion of Mr. K. Griswold, were struck out.
The Yeas and Nays were demanded, by one fifth of the members present, and were Yeas 105, Nays 2, viz. Messrs. Wm. Butler and R. Stanford—Ordered to be enrolled—It was afterwards bro't in and passed, and sent to the Senate for concurrence.
The report of the committee on the subject of chaplains was agreed to with an amendment; and the Speaker alone has the power to allow chaplains to preach in the chamber of the house of representatives.
The petition of Ann Elliot, presented last session was referred to the committee of claims.
The act of the state of Tennessee, ratifying the act of N. Carolina, enabling the former state to perfect their title to certain lands, reserved by the cession act, was referred to the committee appointed on the 15th instant.
Mr. Stanford moved to discharge the committee of claims, as some embarrassment had arisen in the appointment of their chairman.
A defolatory conversation arose on this subject, which terminated in a motion made by Mr. Dawson, directing that the chairman of a committee, shall be in future appointed by a plurality of votes of the members constituting the committee in cases where the chairman has been excused by the house from serving, or shall be absent.
Ordered to lie on the table as a matter of course, it being intended to vary one of the rules of the house.
Mr. Speaker laid before the house a letter from the secretary of the treasury, together with a report and estimate of the appropriations necessary for the year 1805, and a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the current year down to the 1st October.
Referred to the committee of ways and means, and ordered to be printed.
Adjourned.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20.
Mr. J. Clay presented a petition from the Directors of the Library Company of Philadelphia, praying to be exonerated from the payment of 493 dollars and 20 cents duties on the importation of a quantity of books received by that institution as a donation from the Rev. Mr. Preston, of Chewwynd, in the county of Kent, in England—Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Dawson's motion respecting the appointment of chairmen to the standing and select committees of the house, was referred to a committee of three.
Dr. Mitchell, from the committee appointed on that part of the President's message respecting the lead mines in Louisiana, reported a resolution authorizing the President to appoint an agent who shall be instructed to collect all the material information respecting the actual condition, occupancy and title of the same, and the agent to make report before the next session of Congress. The resolution was read a second time and referred to a committee of the whole.
Gen. Varnum in the chair.
Mr. Lucas suggested the propriety of altering the resolution so as to make it general as to all kinds of ore and even

to embrace salt springs and licks. He knew there were other ores in that territory and had seen specimens of a very rich copper ore when he had gone into that country.
Dr. Mitchell said that the executive had anticipated the gentleman's object, and he expected the House would be soon gratified with an account of the discoveries now making by major Lewis and other agents on the Missouri, Arkansas, Red river, &c. as they respect the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms, on which account he preferred the resolution in its present state.
The resolution was carried without opposition, and adopted by the House after the ruling of the committee, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
The committee appointed for the purpose, reported a bill declaring the assent of Congress to the act of North Carolina authorizing the state of Tennessee, to perfect the title to land reserved by the cession act, the same was read a second time, and referred to a committee of the whole for to-morrow.
Mr. M. Clay, reported a bill authorizing the Marine Insurance Company of Alexandria to insure against loss by fire—it was also read a second time, and referred to a committee of the whole for to-morrow.
Adjourned.
ALBANY: NOVEMBER 13, 1804. IN the choice of Electors in the House of Assembly of this state, the Federal part of the House voted for the following Ticket: John Jay, Gouverneur Morris, Egbert Benson, David Brooks, John Livingston, Derrick Lane, Zina Hitchcock, James Gordon, Jonathan Hasbrouck, Charles Newkirk, Jacob Morris, Jeremiah Sanger, Vincent Mathews, Nathaniel W. Howell, Richard Thorn, Stephen Van Rensselaer, James Kent, Jacob Rastcliff, Philip Schuyler, each of whom had 15 votes. The votes for the Republican Ticket were 75 for each of the gentlemen chosen.
NEWARK, Nov. 13. ELECTION. The election for members of Congress, and the choice of electors of President and Vice-President of the United States, was held throughout this state on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. The candidates recommended by the late republican meeting, for each respective office, have been elected without much if any opposition. New-Jersey will therefore contribute her share in giving our country a republican President and Vice-President, an event hitherto unknown of her. By our next paper we are in hopes of receiving an official return from all the counties: at present we must content ourselves with that of Essex only, which is as follows:
For electors of President and Vice-President. Solomon Freleigh 2523, Alexander Carmichael 2505, Phineas Manning 2517, Thomas Newbold 2519, Jacob Hasty 2513, Abijah Smith 2491, Moore Furman 2509, William Rosell 2506. For members of Congress. William Helmes 2538, Henry Southard 2535, Ebenezer Elmer 2532, James Sloan 2506, John Lambert 2519, Ezra Darby 2421.
Translated for the True American. LIBERTY OR DEATH. DECREE. Jacques the First, emperor of Hayti.
Being informed, that the captains of American vessels, that arrive in the different ports of our empire, make a practice of selling their cargoes, wholesale or retail, to small dealers.
Considering that the above practice is prejudicial to commerce, and favors the exportation of all the specie from the island, we determine to put a stop to it.
We therefore, decree and ordain the following to be executed in its utmost extent.
ARTICLE 1st. We forbid promptly every captain to a foreign vessel, arriving in the ports of our empire, to sell their cargoes by retail to small dealers, or private persons.
ARTICLE 2d. The merchants established by virtue of our Letters Patent, shall have the sole power to treat for the cargoes, either separately or jointly.
ARTICLE 3d. Every merchant, Foreign or Domestic, who shall receive directly, consign-
ments of vessels, shall not sell the merchandise by retail; and shall conform according to Article 2d, with respect to the sale of their cargoes.
ARTICLE 4th. The Merchants established by our Letters Patent, shall not treat with the Consignees of foreign vessels, until the administration shall have made choice of such articles as are necessary for the army.
ARTICLE 5th. Any person or persons contravening the present decree, shall be fined three hundred dollars for the first offence, and five hundred for the second.
We give notice to, and order, the minister general of finances, the general of division and brigade, the principal and private administrators, to keep under guard, all who shall contravene the above decree.
Done at our Imperial Palace, at the Cape, the 15th October, 1804, 1st year of our Independence, and of our reign the first.
(Signed) JACQUES, the First. By the Emperor, DIAGOUY, Gen. of Horse.
LIBERTY OR DEATH. DECREE.
Jacques the 1st, Emperor of Hayti. Taking into view the protection and good will, that we show to foreigners, who transact commercial concerns with us; and who, instead of occupying themselves with their commerce, and respecting the laws of the country with which they deal, are pursuing the most extraordinary conduct, in facilitating the escape of men and women of colour, natives of the country.
We therefore, ordain and decree the following, to be executed to the utmost of its rigor:
ARTICLE 1st. Every captain of a foreign vessel, armed or not, on board of whom, one or more persons, natives, shall be found to be carried to a foreign country; such captain shall be arrested and thrown into prison, there to lay ten months, and after that time, to be sent to his own country, with express orders not to return to the empire of Hayti, at his peril. The vessel and cargo shall be confiscated for the benefit of the empire.
ARTICLE 2d. Every native taken on board such a foreign vessel, shall immediately be shot in the public square.
The generals of divisions and brigades and the different commanders, are charged with the execution of the present decree.
Done at our Imperial Palace, at the Cape, the 22d of October, 1804, 1st year of our Independence, and of our reign the 1st. (Signed) JACQUES. By the Emperor, CABRONNE, Gen. of Horse, near his Imperial Majesty.
PHILADELPHIA, November 13. Information—The lead mine discovered on Perkiomen creek, the property of Francis Dacosta, has been lately opened, and attended with great success. The vein proves to be a regular one, and of a long continuance. It course is N.N.E. its direction nearly perpendicular, and its thickness from one foot to 15 inches.
Two tons of that beautiful ore was raised in a few hours, and one ton more at least was left in the bottom of the pit, which is yet but 9 feet deep. From the situation of this mine, its nearness to navigation and market, its very commanding height, its richness in metal, and the large scale it forms on, it is thought by judges to be one of the first discoveries yet made in the United States.
From the analysis made of 100 parts, it contains—Oxyd of lead 85, Oxyd of iron 1, Sulphuric acid 13, Water 1. —100
The lead being coupled, has proved to contain 2 1-2 oz. fine silver to 100, which is nearly 5 dollars worth of that metal.
Translated from the Louisiana Monitor. 11 OCTOBER, 1804.
Having seen, Mr. Editor, in your Monitor, No. 448, that the President of the United States includes me in the nomination of the members of the legislative council of this province, I request you to insert in your next number, my reasons for not conforming to his arrangements; you will find them in the subjoined. I am your humble servant, BORE.
11/October, 1804. I am very sensible of the high honor of being included in the number of those whom the President of the United States has nominated to compose the legislative council of the territory of Orleans; notwithstanding all the respect I owe the
President, I think it my duty, as a citizen, to decline it, entreating him to accept the apology of an individual who claims all the rights of Louisianians, which are represented in their memorial to Congress, and from which we expect a favorable result.
The remainder of my advanced life is devoted to my country; it is at the disposition of my fellow citizens, if they value my services, whenever we shall be established in all our privileges. These are my immutable sentiments. BORE.
Paris, Aug. 10.
A BALLOON ADRIET. Biot, member of the National Institute, intended, last Wednesday, in company with a friend, to ascend from the observatory in the air, and to make their meteorological and physical experiments. Government lent him, upon this occasion, its largest balloon, the same that had been in Egypt. But no sooner was this balloon filled, than a sudden gust of wind carried it away, and it has hitherto not been heard of or found. According to calculation, if it meets with no accident it may arrive at or approach some of the planets nearest to our globe; and as all our best mathematical, astronomical, physical and meteorological instruments were embarked, with several bottles of wines and liquors, should it arrive any where in universal space where the inhabitants have not reached the same state of civilization as upon our planet, it may produce information, which chance has so often produced in our arts and sciences. It is well known that it is to chance alone we are indebted for our greatest discoveries.
For the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. THEATRE.
The citizens of Washington and George Town, were they apprised of the ingenuity and splendid mechanism which is displayed by Mr. Maginnis, would not withhold their patronage from his efforts to please—And they may rest assured, notwithstanding the remarks which have fallen from some of the spectators, the exhibition of the Fantoccina is worthy the observation of the curious and enlightened.—The proprietor on the first night's exhibition had to labor through an ocean of difficulties—through the hasty means of fitting up the stage, a proper exactness was not to be expected—those difficulties were subdued, and the performance last night, to an audience, though thin was very respectable, afforded much satisfaction and delight—The theatre is now rendered comfortable by the fixture of stoves in various parts, and the exertions of an individual to render the performance satisfactory, are very great on the part of Mr. Maginnis.—From the dearth of amusements in this place, much credit ought to attach to one who by his endeavours strives to be guile the tedious hours.
CANDOR. Washington Nov. 20.
WILLIAM PINKNEY, Esquire.—In an obscure corner of a daily print, smothered amidst the abbreviations of ship-news, and no where else to our knowledge, the arrival of this gentleman has been announced to the public. Mr. Pinkney has arrived at Baltimore, & brings with him the pleasing news of the actual transfer of our Bank Stock in England, so long claimed by this state. To Mr. Pinkney, we are credibly advised, the state is much indebted for the recovery of her Stock, and the legislature will doubtless make him a handsome compensation for his zeal, abilities, and perseverance exercised in procuring the transfer.
Judge Chase (it is, perhaps, not generally known) is entitled by law to 4 per cent. commission on the sum recovered for his exertions in behalf of the state on a former occasion. The neat sum accruing to Maryland, after deducting Mr. Chase's commission, will amount to about 250,000 pounds current money.—REPUB. ADV.
The present session of the General Assembly of Maryland will, in all probability, be an important one. The principal subjects of legislation will, perhaps, be the disposal of the Bank Stock recovered in England; turnpike roads; chartering the Union and Farmers' Banks; the encouragement of literature throughout the state; the abolition of the general court; together with other matters of equal importance. If, upon any of these subjects, it is the will of any of the people in our part of the state to express their opinions through the medium of the press, the ADVOCATE is at their service.—REPUB. ADV.

(By Authority.) Washington THEATRE.
A GRAND EXHIBITION, Moral and Entertaining, WILL BE PERFORMED ON WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21st, 1804. The celebrated Mr. S. J. MAGINNIS has the honour of presenting to the Citizens THE GRAND ITALIAN FANTOCCINA, Which, by an astonishing Group of ARTIFICIAL COMEDIANS, three feet and a half high, with the powers of Mechanism, possesses the exact movements of Life, Will be presented, an Ancient Dramatic Piece, taken from a Ballad, entitled the NORFOLK TRAGEDY, OR, CHILDREN IN THE WOOD
AFTER WHICH, THE Grand Eudifocican: Or, Mysteries of Mechanism. FROM ROME, IN ITALY. Composing a collection of Rich and COMIC FIGURES, who perform equal to life, in their different characters, as follows: 1st. A Rich Group of Figures representing the ancient Egyptian court, four feet and a half high; their graceful movements, and brilliancy of dress, surpass any exhibition ever yet seen. 2d. The Olympic Gaiety Dance, by a Figure in the character of the Empress of Morocco, beating and dancing with exact time to the music. 3d. The Lovely village Maid will dance a Fancy Dance, with native elegance and simplicity. 4th. A small Figure, (in imitation of the celebrated Little Devil,) will perform all manner of Ground and Lofty Tumbling, truly astonishing. This phenomenon of human invention, is worthy the attention of the most enlightened characters. 5th. The astonishing Lapland Sorceress will dance a Jig, and in the course of dancing, by the powers of mechanism, change her face three times imperceptibly. 6th. An Automaton Figure, in the character of an American Tar, will dance a Hornpipe, performing a variety of Reps, equal to the best performers in that line, and exactly characteristic of the brave Tar. The Spectator is often lost in wonder at beholding the correct attitudes of this piece of ingenuity, and at times forgets himself, by imagining the Figure to possess life.
After which, in order to render the evening's entertainment as agreeable as possible, will be introduced a variety of the late celebrated BRESLAU'S EXPERIMENTS & DECEPTIONS. A few will only be mentioned, a bill being too small to enumerate the whole.
The experiments will commence with the phantasmagorical sheet of paper, which will be transformed into 26 different shapes, with mathematical accuracy—it has never failed of giving universal satisfaction.
A pack of unopened cards will be given to the company, they may draw a dozen or twenty, after which, any of the company shall put the cards in their pocket, the proprietor will take from the pocket the cards drawn.
A card may be taken from the pack at pleasure, and kept concealed, a plate full of hazel nuts shall be shown to the company and examined, one shall be broke and the name of the card drawn found in the kernel of the nut.
The wonderful experiment of Eating Fire will be performed—to which will be added, an ingenious specimen of mechanism, by producing a number of yards of ribbon from the fire.
Silver shall be dissolved at the word of command, the person keeping the money in their own possession.
The proprietor possesses the power of changing the face of cards, at ten yards distance.
A card shall be drawn and shuffled into the pack at pleasure, and the person thrown on the floor; the proprietor will suffer himself to be blindfolded, and with a sword, pick out the card drawn. With a number of other experiments, composed of cards, eggs and money.
By an ingenious piece of machinery will be presented a splendid representation OF A Sea Engagement.

Previous to the engagement will be displayed A rich Spectacle of the Different Animals that inhabit the Drear Deep viz:
The Whale, or Leviathan, Sea Lion, Bear, Horse, Crocodile, Ox on the Dolphin's Back, attended by the rest of the funny tribe: also the various Fowles that reside on the Ocean, in all their richness of variegated plumage, gliding gently through the waves.
To conclude with NEPTUNE, GOD OF THE OCEAN, AND HIS QUEEN, Drawn in their Shell'd Car by Sea Horses, attended by the Beautiful Mermaids.

A NUMBER OF PROPRIETORS in the city of Washington, with views to convert their property into immediate money, have formed the following PLAN of a TONTINE; and have appointed the subscriber their agent for carrying the same into execution.
A list of the lots embarked in this enterprise precedes the plan of the institution. Plats of the city on which these lots will be designated, will be lodged at the several taverns in Washington and George Town, for public inspection; and books will be opened in the city for receiving subscriptions of shares, on the 1st day of December ensuing. Should books be opened elsewhere, due notice will be given thereof. Payment must be made for the shares at the time of subscribing, but if contrary to reasonable expectation, a sufficient number of shares should not be subscribed for the execution of the scheme, the money shall be faithfully returned to the subscribers, and without unnecessary delay.
The Constitution of the Tontine is too plain to need explanatory remarks. The basis of the institution being a rising property rated on a very low scale, the advantages must be greater than could result from a mere monied institution. It seems indeed more than probable, that each stockholder who survives the dissolution of the Company, will find the value of his stock augmented twenty fold, or more. If any think that this favours of extravagance, let them advert to the increased value of unimproved property in any of our large towns, during the last 20 years. Let them compare with the prices of the Tontine lots, those of the most indifferent property in any of these towns, now. It will not be contended that any town in the United States had, 20 years ago, fairer prospects of rapid increase, than Washington has at this day. The fact will not be disputed, that the Tontine Lots are generally amongst the most valuable in Washington.
The seat of government for such a country as the United States, cannot long remain an inconsiderable city. But Washington has an advantage more important than even this. It is the nearest sea-port to that country, which may be justly denominated the granary of America.
A plan of this kind formed 20 years ago on the basis of unimproved property in Baltimore or even in George Town would have yielded to the surviving adventurers of this day, a profit of forty if not an hundred fold.
In May 1800, Washington contained 3200 inhabitants. In May 1803, 4350. The number now exceeds 5000. In the same ratio of progressive increase, the population in 1807 will be 6600—in 1810, 8800—in 1813, 11800—in 1816, 15800—in 1819, 21000—in 1822, 28000—and in 1825, 33000. Men of sense, who examine the situation of the Tontine lots, will perceive that the whole of them must be in demand for improvement before the population rises to 20,000. From the time, happen when it will, that our commerce shall principally depend upon our own productions, and our own consumption; the increase of the city will be infinitely more rapid. The resources of the country attached to it by nature, are now equal to the maintenance of 60,000 souls in the city. These resources, diverted at this time into many different channels, will be confined almost exclusively to Washington, when Europe shall be at peace, and each maritime nation can carry for itself.
The usual mode of selling lots in our large towns is by the front foot—in Washington the mode is by the square foot. At the highest price in this plan, a lot of 25 feet by 120 will be 240 dollars—the lowest price, 60 dollars—in squares where there are alleys, a trifle more.
The whole property leased out at 3s per front foot, would pay more than 6 per cent. interest on the capital.

WASHINGTON TONTINE.
ART. 1. The capital of the company shall be two hundred and five thousand dollars, divided into shares of fifty dollars each—and the same shall be invested in three millions eight hundred and ten thousand, eight hundred and seventy square feet of ground in the city of Washington, including privilege of alleys; to consist of the lots, a particular list of which is hereto annexed, and which their owners have covenanted shall be conveyed by sufficient deeds of general warrantee and free from all encumbrances unto David Peter and James Morrell, esqrs. of the district of Columbia, and to the survivor of them, and to the executors and administrators of such survivor, to be held by them in trust until disposed of as hereafter directed, for the use and benefit of the company. The titles of every proprietor are to be investigated and approved of, by John T. Mason, and Philip B. Key, esqrs. before passing the deeds.
ART. 2. Every subscriber may at the time of subscribing, or at any time before the first day of July in the year 1805, nominate a person, or persons with whose life or lives, the shares taken by him shall be commensurate. At any person, desirous of making provision beyond the reach of common accident, for persons of tender age, may subscribe in the names of such persons. Subscriptions may also be made by proxy. But until the nomination shall be made as aforesaid, the existence of the shares shall depend upon the lives of the persons, in whose names they shall have been subscribed. All nominations on which the shares are to depend, must include a description of the age, and place of residence, of the persons nominated—and nominations not made at the time of subscribing, may be sent to the directors who shall be first elected to manage the concerns of the company, any time before the first day of July as aforesaid.
ART. 3. Upon the death of any person, with whose life a share or shares, shall have been made commensurate, such share or shares, shall thereupon be extinguished—and all the interest of the owner thereof, in the property of the company, dependent upon such shares, shall cease and determine, and the same shall become the property of the owners of the surviving shares: meaning the shares dependent upon the lives of persons, continuing to survive.
ART. 4. The affairs of the company shall be managed under the superintendence and direction of five directors, who shall be stock-holders to be chosen in each year by ballot, by the stock-holders attending in person, or by proxy, each to have as many votes as shares. The first election shall be held at Stelle's Hotel in the city of Washington, on the first Monday in February, 1805, under the direction of Robert Brent, John P. Van Nels, David Peter, Walter S. Chandler, and John Davidson, esqrs. or any two of them—and each succeeding election shall be held on the first Monday in every January thereafter, under the superintendence of at least two of the directors for the year preceding; at such place in the said city, as they shall appoint, giving due notice thereof in one or more newspapers, published in the city of Washington.
ART. 5. The directors shall have full power to sell a fee simple, or to lease on ground rent, renewable forever, the property belonging to the company; and to manage all the other concerns of the company; but they shall not dispose of more than one sixth part of the lots in any one year, prior to the year 1810: nor sell the same at less than 25 per cent advance on the original cost; nor shall they lease them at a less rate than 12 and an half cents per front foot, for every cent cost to the company per square foot. But though the limits are thus fixed, below which the property cannot be disposed of; it is not meant that it is to be sold as fast as these rates can be obtained: On the contrary, the directors are at all times to exercise a sound discretion for the best interests of the company; and to keep in view, the certainty of rise in the value of the property, from the increasing population of the city.
ART. 6. All money arising from the sales of lots, shall be invested in the stock of the United States, in the name of the company—the interest arising from which, as well as all money arising from ground rents, shall also be invested in like stock, until the last day of December in the year 1807—after which, all interest arising from stock, or sales of lots on time—and all monies arising from ground rents, and all other profits, shall be divided semi-annually on the 15th day of January, & the 15th day of July in each year among all the share owners, in proportion to the interest of each, whose shares existed by the continuance of the lives with which they were made commensurate, on the first day of that year.
ART. 7. The dividends shall be paid at the office of the company in Washington, to the owners of the shares in person, to their power of attorney, or to their written order; but before any dividend shall be paid, satisfaction must be afforded to the directors, for the time being, that the person, on whose life the shares in question depend, was living on the first day of January in that year.
ART. 8. In cases where the dividends are not claimed for six months after the same shall become due, and there is reason to doubt whether the person on whose life the shares depend on which such dividends arise, continues to survive, the directors shall invest such dividends in stock of the United States, as if the same belonged to the capital of the company: but if the same shall thereafter be rightfully claimed, payment shall be made therefor, out of any funds of the company, not invested in stock.
ART. 9. The shares shall be transferable, and all transfers shall be made on the books of the company, by the owners in person, or by power of attorney, according to the form used for transferring stock of the United States. But in cases where certificates have been issued by the directors to the owner of the shares, such certificate must be returned, and cancelled, before a transfer of the shares expressed therein shall be made.
ART. 10. Every record of a transfer of shares; and every certificate issued for shares, shall designate the lives on which such shares depend.
ART. 11. No change can be made of the person or persons on whose life or lives the shares shall depend. The life first nominated must forever remain the life on which the existence of the shares shall depend.
ART. 12. The directors shall cause proper books to be kept of all their proceedings, accessible at all times to the stock-holders; and shall particularly cause to be carefully recorded, the nomination of the lives on which the shares depend—and also the deaths of such persons when the same shall be clearly ascertained: and may transfer from time to time, the active duties of their trust, to one of their own body, or to any other agent, and may make to such agent, a reasonable compensation for his services; but the directors themselves shall receive no compensation, unless it be in the case of a director who may be the agent as aforesaid.
ART. 13. On the the first Monday in January in the year 1825, the Washington Tontine Company shall be dissolved—and the whole stock of the company in whatever consisting, shall thereupon be divided amongst all the owners of the then existing shares, and in proportion to the number held by each.
We the subscribers approving of the plan of the Washington Tontine, and agreeing to each and to the whole of the 13 preceding articles, do each of us agree to become members thereof, for the number of shares annexed to our respective names.

I remove that distrust often felt respecting new undertakings, and so prejudicial to manufacturing attempts in America, they think it proper to observe, that nothing is wanting in the business to enable good artists to perform their work here as well as in Europe. That they have these artists; that two of the partners were bred to the business in a factory of the best repute carried on by their father, & long afterwards by themselves. They trust that while foreign goods are received without a question, an unreasonable suspicion will not prevent their countrymen from giving that trial to their goods, which only can prove their value. Besides a natural doubt, they know that certain interests, national as well as individual, will suggest objections to their undertaking. They have no difficulty in saying, that work of the like kind shall be as well executed here, as in other countries. The colors capable of being fixed, will be found as permanent; the cloths perhaps better substance, and the prices lower than of the imported cottons.

B. Prizes subject to a deduction of 15 per cent. 
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 dollars, and 2,500 dollars, 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 prizes 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 rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
