And whereas, it is the duty of the Executive to guard as much as may be against the commission of such enor- mities, and to bring such offenders a- gainst the laws and peace of society to justice.

CAPTURE OF BUENOS AYRES.
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY,
Saturday Night, Sept. 13.
Downing Street, Sept. 13.
Dispatches, of which the following are copies and extracts, have this day been received at the office of the Right Hon. Wm. Windham, one of his Ma- jesty's Principal Secretaries of State from Major-General Beresford, com- manding a detachment of his Majesty's troops in South America.
Fort of Buenos Ayres, July 2, 1806.
SIR, I had the honor to communicate to you, by my letter dated the 30th April, the circumstances of my arrival at St. He- lena, and the result of the application to the Honorable the Governor of that place for troops.
The fleet sailed thence the 2d of May, and after a most unexpected long pas- sage, made Cape St. Mary on the 8th of June. His Majesty's ship Narcissus had been dispatched from the fleet on the 27th of May, and Sir Home Popham thought it right to proceed in her for the purpose of making himself ac- quainted with the navigation of the ri- ver, that no delay might occur in pro- ceeding immediately on the arrival of the troops to such place as our informa- tion should induce us first to attack. I had sent captain Kennett, of the Royal Engineers (not liking myself to leave the troops) in the Narcissus, to make such reconnoitering of the enemy's places on the river, as circumstances would ad- mit; and to collect every possible infor- mation concerning them, and the strength of the enemy at the several places.
From fogs and baffling winds we did not meet the Narcissus until the sixth day after our arrival in the river, and I had there the satisfaction to see in com- pany with her the Ocean transport, which had parted from us previous to our going to St. Helena. Sir Home Popham and myself immediately consulted whether it would be better first to attack the town of St. Philip of Monte Video, or Buenos Ayres, the capital of the pro- vince; and after much reasoning, we determined to proceed against Buenos Ayres, which made it necessary to re- move from the line of battle ships, the troops and marines; and such seamen as were incorporated with the latter, and others that had been practised to arms during the passage, into the transports, and his Majesty's ship Narcissus, which was effected on the 16th ult. and though then only about ninety miles from Buenos Ayres, still, though to his skill Sir Home Popham added the most perse- vering zeal and assiduity, yet from fogs, the intricacy of the navigation, and con- tinually opposing winds, it was not until the 24th at night, that we reached oppo- site to it. We found ourselves the next morning, about eight miles from the Point of Quilmes, where I proposed landing, having been informed by an Englishman, who was pilot for the river, and who had been taken by the Nar- cissus out of a Portuguese vessel, that it was an excellent place, and an easy ac- cess from it into the country. As soon as the wind would permit, on the 25th, Sir Home Popham took the shipping as near as it was possible for them to go; and at a convenient distance for disem- barking, which was effected in the course of the afternoon and night, and without any opposition: the enemy re- maining at the village of Reduccion, on a height about two miles from us in our front: the whole intermediate space, as well as to the right and left, being a per- fect flat; but my guide informed me, that though in winter it was impassable, it was then very practicable, and easy for guns to pass.
It was eleven o'clock in the morning of the 26th, before I could move off my ground, and the enemy could, from his position, have counted every man I had - the numbers as per margin. He was drawn up along the brow of a hill, on which was the village of Reduccion, which covered his right flank, and his force consisted principally of cavalry, (I have been since informed two thou- sand,) with eight field pieces. The na- ture of the ground was such, that I was under the necessity of going directly to his front; and to make my line as much as I could equal to his, I formed all the troops into one line, except the St. He- lena Infantry, of one hundred and fifty men, which I formed one hundred and twenty yards in the rear, with two field pieces, with orders to make face to the right or left, as either of our flanks should be threatened by any cavalry. I had two six pounders on each flank, and two howitzers in the centre of the first line. In this order, I advanced against the enemy, and after we had got within range of his guns, a tongue of swamp crossed our front, and obliged me to halt whilst the guns took a small circuit to cross, and which was scarcely perform- ed when the enemy opened their field pieces on us, at first well pointed, but as we advanced at a very quick rate, in spite of the boggy ground that very soon
obliged us to leave all our guns behind, his fire did us but little injury. The 71st regiment reaching the bottom of the heights in a pretty good line, seconded by the Marine battalion, the enemy would not wait their nearer approach, but retired from the brow of the hill, which our troops gaining, and com- mencing a fire of small arms, he fled with precipitation, leaving to us four field pieces and one tumbril, and we saw nothing more of him that day.
I halted two hours on the field to rest the troops, and to make arrangements for taking with us the enemy's guns and our own, which had now, by the exert- ions of captain Donally, of his Majes- ty's ship Narcissus, been extricated from the bog. He had accidentally landed, and accompanied the troops, on seeing them advance to the enemy, and I am much indebted to him for his vo- luntary assistance.
I then marched in hopes of prevent- ing the destruction of the bridge over the Rio Chuelo, a river at this season of the year not fordable, and which lay between us and the city, distant from it about three miles, and eight from our then situation: and though I used every diligence, I had the mortification to see it in flames long before I could reach it. I halted the troops for the night a mile from it, and pushed on three companies of the 71st, under lieutenant-colonel Pack, with two howitzers, to the bridge, to endeavor to prevent its total destruc- tion.
I accompanied this detachment, but on reaching the bridge found it en- tirely consumed; and as the enemy during the night was heard bringing down guns, I withdrew the detachment before light, as their position was that too open and exposed to the enemy's fire, who had at nine o'clock, on hear- ing some of our soldiers go to the river to get water, opened a fire from their guns, and a considerable line of infantry.
As soon as it was light I sent captain Kennett of the Engineers to reconnoi- tre the sides of the river, and found that on our side we had little or no co- ver to protect us, whilst the enemy were drawn up behind hedges, houses, and in the shipping on the opposite bank, the river not thirty yards wide. As our si- tuation and circumstances could not ad- mit of the least delay, I determined to force the passage, and for that purpose crawled down the field pieces, which, with the addition of those taken from the enemy the day before, were eleven (one I had spiked and left, not being able to bring it off,) to the water's edge, and ordered the infantry to remain in the rear, under cover, except the light company and grenadiers of the 71st. As our guns approached, the enemy opened a very ill directed fire from great guns and musketry; the former soon ceased after our fire opened; the latter was kept up for more than half an hour, but though close to us, did us but little or no injury, so ill was it directed. We then found means, by boats and bats, to cross a few men over the Rio Chuelo, and on ordering all fire to cease, the little of them that remained ceased also.
The troops which opposed us during these two days appear to have been al- most entirely provincial, with a consi- derable proportion of veteran officers. The numbers that were assembled to dispute our passage of the river, I have been since informed, were about 2000 infantry. I had no reason from their fire to suppose their number so great; the opposition was very feeble; the only difficulty was the crossing the river to get at them.
I cannot omit reporting to you that I had the most just cause to be satisfied with the conduct of every officer and all the troops under my command. To Lt. Col. Pack of the 71st every praise is due, as well to that excellent regi- ment. The battalion of marines, com- manded by capt. King, of the Royal Navy, not only behaved with the utmost good conduct, but with a discipline in the field much beyond what could have been expected, though every exertion to effect it had been used by commo- dore sir H. Popham, and every officer of the Royal Navy during the passage.
A corps of seamen, who had been drilled to small arms, were also landed; they were between 80 and 90 in number, and I was under the necessity of attach- ing them to draw the guns, which they did with a cheerfulness and zeal that did them great credit; and I was under great obligation to capt. King for his ac- tivity in preparing rafts, boats, &c. to pass the Rio Chuelo.
Lt. Col. Lane, and the St. Helena troops, also merit my thanks for their good conduct; as does capt. Ogilvie, commanding the artillery, for the man- ner in which the guns were conducted and served. Capt. Kennett, of the Royal Engineers, was particularly service- able, by his intelligence and apli- as were the hon. major Deane, my brigadier major, and the hon. ensign Gordon of the 3d Guards, my aid-de-camp.
By 11 o'clock A. M. I had got some guns and the greatest part of the troops across the river, and seeing no symp- toms of further opposition, and learning that the troops in general had deserted the city, motives of humanity induced me to send, by the hon. ensign Gordon,
a summons to the Governor to deliver to me the city and fortress, that the excesses and calamities which would most probably occur if the troops entered in a hostile manner, might be avoid- ed; informing him that the British character would insure to them the ex- ercise of their religion, and protection to their persons and all private proper- ty. He returned to me an officer to ask some hours to draw up conditions; but could not consent to delay my march, which I commenced as soon as the whole had crossed the Rio Chuelo; and, on arriving near the city, an officer from the Governor again met me with a number of conditions, to which I had not then time to attend; but said I would confirm by writing what I had promised when in possession of the city; and the terms granted and signed by sir Home Popham and myself I have the honor to annex.
I also transmit a return of the killed, wounded, and missing on the 26th and 27th of June, as well as the return of the ordnance taken.
I cannot conclude, without assuring you of the unwearied zeal and assiduity of commo- dore sir Home Popham, in whatever could contribute to the suc- cess of this expedition, and of the cor- dial co-operation and great assistance which I have received from him.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) W. C. BERESFORD, Maj. Gen. Major-General Sir David Baird, commanding in chief, &c. &c. &c.
Extract of a letter from major gen- eral Beresford to the right hon. lord Castlereagh, dated Fort of Buenos Ayres, 11th July, 1806.
I trust the conduct adopted towards the people here has had its full effect, in impressing on their minds the honor, generosity and humanity of the British character. His majesty's ministers will see by the detail of our proceed- ings, that after the army had passed the Rio Chuelo, the city of Buenos Ayres remained at our mercy; and that, in fact, the only conditions on which I en- tered were such as I pleased to offer, and which humanity and a regard to our national character would naturally induce me to give under any circum- stances. However, to quiet the minds of the inhabitants, we not only consent- ed to put in writing my promises, but acceded to many conditions not expect- ed by them; and, contrary to direct stipulation, gave up to the proprietors all the coasting vessels captured, with their cargoes, and of which I annex a return, and the value of which a- mounted to one million and a half of dollars, and which being done with the views already exposed, will, I trust, meet with his majesty's approba- tion.
I have the honor to inform his majes- ty's ministers, that I had detached capt. Arbuthnot of the 20th light dragoons, on the 3d inst. with a party consisting of 7 dragoons and 200 infantry (the whole mounted) to a place called Luxan, 30 miles distant. My principal object was to have the country reconnoitered, and to see what were the dispositions of the inhabitants; but with the avowed ob- ject of escorting back some of the trea- sure which had been taken from here, and to prevent its following the vice- roy, which I had reason to suspect was intended, though it was said to be all private property; and, in which case, we had declared, if brought back, it should be given to its owners, if of this city. Capt. Arbuthnot returned last night; and I am glad to say with information of a pleasing nature; for your lordship will see, by this detach- ment passing so easily through the coun- try, that whatever their present incli- nation may be, there is no very great danger from any hostile intentions a- gainst us; and capt. Arbuthnot reports rather favorably of the general dispo- sitions of the people. The country to Luxan, as I have already represented, in general the whole of it, is a perfect flat, and the view of the horizon ob- structed by nothing but the immense herds of horses and cattle, but princi- pally horned cattle.
Luxan is situated on a river of the same name, and where there is a bridge over it, and the route leading to all the inferior provinces, and I rather think it will be advisable on many accounts that I possess myself of it, which I can do by a small detachment. Much of the treasure was caught actually going to Cordova, and the rest, but for the opportunely arrival of the party, would have been pillaged.
The wagons conveying this treasure may be expected here to-morrow. - Those with the royal treasure, and that of the Philippine company, arrived some time since, and are already em- barked.
The hon. major Deane, who is bear- ing
* It has been found difficult to pro- cure the return of vessels here alluded to, at least the names of all. They are of various classes, from one hundred and fifty tons downwards, and amount in the whole to one hundred and eighty in number.
er of these dispatches, will give any further information to his majesty's mi- nisters that they may desire; and I beg to recommend him as an officer deserving of any mark of favor that his majesty may be graciously pleased to bestow on him.
PROCLAMATION
By William Carr Beresford, major ge- neral commanding in chief his Bri- tannic majesty's forces employed on the east coast of S. America, and lieutenant governor of Buenos Ayres and all its dependencies.
The town of Buenos Ayres and its dependencies being now subject to his Britannic majesty by the energy of his majesty's arms, the major general, with a view of establishing perfect confi- dence in the liberality and justice of his majesty's government, and quieting the minds of all the inhabitants who are now in the city, or who from the apprehen- sion of the general casualties of war, may have quitted it, thinks it necessary to proclaim without a moment's loss of time, that it is his majesty's most gra- cious intention that the people of Bue- nos Ayres, and such other provinces in the Rio de la Plata as may eventually come under his protection, shall enjoy the full and free exercise of their reli- gion, and that every respect shall be shown to its holy ministers.
That the courts of justice shall conti- nue the exercise of their functions in all cases of civil or criminal procedure, with such references to the major ge- neral as were had to the viceroy on former occasions, and the major ge- neral pledges himself that as far as de- pends upon him every thing shall be done to bring those processes to an im- mediate and just issue.
All private property of every des- cription shall receive the most ample protection, and whatever may be re- quired by the troops, either of provis- ions or other articles, shall be immedi- ately paid for at such prices as may be fixed on by the Cabildo.
The major general therefore calls up- on the most illustrious bishop, his coad- jutors, and all ecclesiastical orders, foundations, colleges, heads of corpo- rate bodies, mayor, aldermen and bur- gesses, to explain to the inhabitants in general that they are ever to be pro- tected in their religion and property; and until the pleasure of his Britannic majesty is known, they are to be go- verned by their own municipal laws.
The major general thinks it necessa- ry to acquaint the general and commer- cial interest of the country, that it is his majesty's most gracious intention that a free trade shall be opened and permitted to S. America, similar to that enjoyed by all others of his majesty's co- lonies, particularly the island of Trini- dad, whose inhabitants have felt pecu- liar benefits from being under the go- vernment of a sovereign, powerful en- ough to protect them from any insult, and generous enough to give them such commercial advantages as they could not enjoy under the administration of any other country.
With the promise of such rigid pro- tection to the established religion of the country, and the exercise of its civil laws, the maj. gen. trusts that all good citizens will unite with him in their ex- ertions to keep the town quiet and peaceable, as they may now enjoy a free trade, and all the advantages of a com- mercial intercourse with G. Britain, where no oppression exists, and which he understands has been the only thing wanting by the rich provinces of Buenos Ayres, and the inhabitants of S. Ameri- ca in general, to make it the most pro- sperous country in the world.
The maj. gen. has now only to call upon the magistrates to send to the dif- ferent farmers in the country, and in- duce them to bring into the markets provisions and vegetables of every de- scription, for which they shall be imme- diately paid, and any complaints which may be made, shall be redressed with- out delay.
It having been represented to the maj. gen. that some of the existing du- ties bear too hard on the enterprise of commerce, he has determined to take the earliest opportunity of informing himself of that subject, from the best commercial authorities, and he will then make such reductions in the overbear- ing duties as may seem most conducive to the interest of the country, until the pleasure of his Britannic Majesty is known.
(Signed) W. C. BERESFORD, Major-General and Lieut. Govr.
PROCLAMATION
By the commanders in chief of his Bri- tannic majesty's forces by land and sea.
Although the laws of war give all ships, barges, vessels, boats, and craft of every description in harbors, rivers, and creeks, to the captors, yet the commanders in chief of his Britannic Majesty's forces by land and sea feeling that such captures will distress the own- ers of small vessels, as they may be the only means by which they gain their livelihood, and anxiously wishing to give every encouragement to real indus- try

ductive of good, as well as anxious to arrest the progress of evil, still bearing in mind that you were once Frenchmen, has expressly directed me to urge the Holy See to adopt the most strenuous measures to repress the dissensions which have broken out amongst you. His Majesty this day ordered me to apprise you that in consideration of his high recommendation, his Holiness has vested in the Bishop of Baltimore, the necessary powers of administering provisionally, and during the vacancy of the See, on the affairs of the church of New Orleans; and that this Prelate has been enjoined to offer some Candidates, amongst whom a new Bishop may be chosen, provided the government of the United States does not object to the election. His Majesty has further, expressly charged me, to assure you of the unceasing regard he entertains for the inhabitants of Louisiana; and the interest he takes in the support of all their religious rights, amongst the most prominent of which is the preservation of an Episcopal See in your city. He wills at the same time, that I should recommend in a special manner, your interests to the President of the United States.
I feel happy, Sir, in being authorised to give you assurances of the utmost protection of his Majesty; and tender you the homage of my highest consideration. (Signed) PORTALIS. Boston, Nov. 6. By the arrival of the brig Byfield, captain Foster, in the very short passage of 37 days from Copenhagen, we have been favored by the politeness and attention of Captain Foster, with Hamburg and Copenhagen papers to the 27th September. The following translations obligingly furnished by Mr. Houli, Swedish consul in this place, shew, that their contents are
HIGHLY INTERESTING. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 25. "They write from Koningsberg that troops are embarking in several Russian ports, to be transported to Pomerania." "The combined Dutch and French army in Holland, is said to amount to 74,000 men." "Several camps are formed on the frontiers of Russia." "The Prussian troops are moving towards the grand army, now forming in Saxony." "It is said the French minister at Berlin has demanded his passports." "The Prussian troops in every direction are in motion. Nothing is said in the German papers relative to Austria."
From the German Papers. "The late Prussian minister at London, Mr. Jacobi, who had proceeded on his journey home, has arrived at Hamburg; and it is believed, intends returning immediately to England." "The French troops on the Rhine and Maine, are in motion; and a part of them actually passed over to the right bank of the latter river, at Frankfort." "The French Emperor's body guards have quitted the palace of St. Cloud, and been replaced by other troops." "The treasures of the Cathedral at Munster, have been removed to Magdeburg for safety." From the Hamburg Correspondent, September 26. "The number of the Swedish troops in Lauenburg increases; and it is said, are to be joined by a body of Prussian troops." "The Prussian minister has frequent conferences with our cabinet."
From Paris, September 17. "The general opinion here is, that war is unavoidable. They speak of the departure of the Emperor as an event not very distant. Lord Lauderdale is still here. Frequent couriers pass between this and Holland; and it is believed she will be called upon to take a considerable part in the war, which now threatens all Europe." From London Papers, Sept. 19. "Although it seems the English are not willing to exclude neutrals from trading to Buenos Ayres, yet it is supposed the duties will be such as not to encourage the importation of any other than British goods." "Mr. Sheridan has declined the honor of the Westminster election. Earl Percy will probably be elected, having the support of Lord Grenville and other distinguished friends."
FURTHER INTELLIGENCE. Captain Foster left Cronstadt the 13th, and Copenhagen the 30th Sept. Previous to his departure from the former place, he learnt, that no part of the treaty which had been signed at Paris by M. D'Oubril, was agreeable to the views of the Emperor Alexander, or in conformity to his instructions; and that such was the indignation of the Russian court against this minister, for having violated the faith which he owed to his sovereign, that an order of banishment had immediately followed his return to St. Petersburg, and M. D'Oubril was no longer to be found among the living, unless on his way to the deserts of Siberia;—that the greatest activity prevailed, in levying and embarking troops; that immense camps had been formed; that large bodies were marching towards the frontiers; and that nothing else was talked of but war against France—a measure which ap-
peared to be very popular among all classes; that the prince Constantine, brother to the Emperor, was spoken of as being highly in favour of the war; and had offered the utmost assistance which he could lend to the cause. Captain Foster further advises, that the day before, he left Copenhagen, accounts were received at that place, per mail, that every hope of peace had finally vanished; and that hostilities had actually commenced between Prussia and France; that Lord Lauderdale had demanded his passports, and was on the point of quitting Paris, three several times, during the negotiation, without having effected the object of his embassy; but that from circumstances which were not known to the public, though not affecting the serious business of the negotiation, he still remained at Paris, at the date of the last accounts from that city. On the subject generally of a renewed continental war, captain Foster was desired to report, by his merchant at Copenhagen, that the safest calculations might be made on the certainty of its commencement, and a strong probability of its long continuance.
A letter was received in town yesterday, from Wiscasset, dated October 31, which says, that the brig Rover, capt. Wiley, had arrived at Danoscote, in 35 days from Liverpool, and that the accounts received by her relative to peace and war, did not materially change the aspect of political affairs, from that complexion which it wore at the date of our former accounts. The British government has issued an order for opening the trade of Buenos Ayres, to the British merchants; and reinforcements had been sent out to hold the conquests.
Earl Spencer transacted the foreign business after Mr. Fox's death. In Italy, by a decree of King Joseph Napoleon, seditious assemblies, and libels against the government, are to be tried by a kind of civil court martial, (or Inquisition) and sentence executed in 24 hours.
New-York, Nov. 9. "Captain Ferry, of the ship Thames, sailed from Amsterdam the 20th of Sept. at which time there was no prospect of peace. He informs us, that the king of Prussia, the emperor of Russia, and king of Sweden, had joined their forces, and were on their march against the French; and on his sailing, it was reported, that an engagement had actually taken place. On the 21st, off Dover, capt. Ferry was boarded by the British gun-brig Vixen, and informed, that lord Lauderdale had returned from Paris, without effecting the object of his mission."
OF MIRANDA. —Capt. Murray, in 20 days from Trinidad, informs, that Miranda was still at Aruba, and that he had received no assistance from the British. "Capt. White in 13 days from Trinidad, informs, that a ship, supposed to be Miranda's Leander, was going in as he came out, as he was expected from Aruba." Capt. Bourn from Curacoa, informs, that on the 8th Oct. he was boarded by a British brig, (one of Miranda's squadron) and treated roughly. The commander of the brig informed, that Miranda had sailed from Aruba, and that most of his forces had left him.
New-York, Nov. 10. Capt. Ferry, of the ship Thames, left Amsterdam on the 20th of Sept. and has politely furnished the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of Dutch papers to the 13th. Under that date from Amsterdam, the only interesting article is one which informs us of a convention having been entered into between the two houses of Saxony and Brandenburg; that on the frontiers of Saxony the French have a formidable force of not less than 30,000 men; and that the prince Hesse Cassel remained in a state of inactivity as to military preparations. Our verbal accounts from Amsterdam state a report that Russia and Prussia had formed a coalition, & declared war against France; that Sweden had offered to assist the two former powers to the utmost extent of her resources; that a Dutch camp, to consist of 16,000 men, was forming at Utrecht; and that a fleet of 7 sail of the line, under admiral de Winter, was at anchor in the Nieu Diep.
NAPLES, Aug. 15. The junction of the French generals, Massena, Regnier, and Verdier, leaves the enemy no chance of success. It is said the advantages obtained by the different corps of the army are so decisive, that out of 30,000 French, who were on their march for Naples, by way of Ancona, 20,000 have received orders to halt and to fall back. All these auxiliaries had already been rendered useless, and even those that have been accepted are no longer necessary; but they may serve to save the effusion of blood, by commanding a more prompt obedience. Among the other means of repression, employed under these calamitous circumstances, is the establishment of four extraordinary tribunals, for the purpose of trying individuals, guilty of crimes against the security of the state, and the public tranquility.
BASLE, Aug. 20. The recruiting for the Swiss regiments for the French service, according to the late capitulation, has commenced. The recruiting parties have arrived, and the money is expended. PARIS, Sept. 9. Prince Jerome Bonaparte arrived, on
Sunday, at St. Cloud, after his long cruise. His majesty immediately presented him with the great ribbon of the Legion of honor. From the 13th of Dec. to the 26th of Aug. this prince continually kept the sea in the midst of hostile squadrons, supporting in every quarter the honor of the French flag, and doing irreparable mischief to the English commerce. In tracing the history of his voyage, as it is detailed in the English papers, we see him, on his first putting to sea, compel the convoy, destined for the East-Indies and America, to return to the Irish ports; from thence he went to St. Helena, in which remote cruise he destroyed several enemy's vessels. The squadron afterwards put into St. Salva, on the coast of the Brazils, to procure fresh provisions for the few sick they had on board. It afterwards coasted along South America, and destroyed several English privateers; and, on a sudden, appeared in the West Indies, throwing the trade and colonies of the enemy into consternation, and obliging admiral Cochrane to take shelter in Barbadoes. After it quitted Martinique, it went to St. Domingo, where it repressed the scandalous traffic of some American adventurers, who trade with the rebel negroes. It appears that in pursuing them to the northward, the squadron encountered a gale of wind, which separated the Vixen from the other ships. The prince then steered for the coast of France, and after having chased several other vessels, destroyed above half the Quebec convoy, and put to flight the frigates which accompanied it. The loss of this convoy creates the most painful sensation in England, because it was freighted with timber for the navy, which was much wanted. At last the Veteran entered a French port, without the English government being able, notwithstanding they had covered the seas with superior squadrons under the orders of Duckworth, Louis, Cochrane, Strachan and Warren, to prevent the French divisions from fulfilling any one of its missions. Letters from L'Orient mention, that Prince Jerome, during this long cruise, wished to partake the fatigues of it like any other officer; and that the only time when admiral Duckworth, with a superior force, was near enough to render an engagement probable, that prince entreated admiral Willaumez, to be allowed the honor of leading the squadron into action. The crews, animated by his example, manifested the greatest impetuosity to engage; and every thing led us to hope the result of it would have been glorious for the French navy, if the wind had not separated the two fleets, and given admiral Willaumez an opportunity of pursuing his destination.

ATTENTION!!! Those persons that wish to purchase the GENUINE PATENT FAMILY MEDICINES OF RICHARD LEE & SON MUST APPLY TO Mr. Daniel Rapine, Capitol Hill, Washington, & Dr. N. Magruder, George Town. "An ounce of prevention is worth pounds of cure." For the prevention and cure of Billious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended Lee's Anti-Billious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. THIS medicine has, for eight years past been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the Southern part of the U. States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative & further, that in the early stages of those disorders, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases deemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence; a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach and severe head aches—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
Lee's Infallible Fever and Ague Drops, For the cure of Agues, Remittent and Intermitent fevers. Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine have proved ineffectual. Not one
in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the work fast of ages generally prevail; which, unless early attended to, and speedily removed, injure the constitution exceedingly, bring on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial, have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of but being a very naucous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; children and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently lost for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch. A preparation which for pleasantness, ease, safety, and expedition, gives place to no application whatever; free from mercury, or any pernicious ingredient. Lee's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Which have within seven years past cured upwards of one hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels—they are perfectly safe and pleasant, and may be given to the youngest infant or the most delicate pregnant lady with propriety. Lee's Genuine Eye Water. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident. Tooth Ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. Genuine Persian Lotion, So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and free from corrosive and repellent minerals, (the basis of other lotions) and unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurfs, tatters, ring worms, sun-burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. Lee's Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. A safe and effectual remedy for Acute Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White Swellings, Chilblains Sprains, Bruises, Pains in the face and neck, &c. The Anodyne Elixer, For the cure of every kind of Head-Ache. Lee's Demask Lip Salve, Is recommended (particularly to the Ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color and delicate softness to the lips. Restorative Powder for the Teeth and Gums. Lee's genuine Corn Plaister. An infallible remedy for speedily removing Corns, Root and Branch, without giving pain. Indian Vegetable Specific, For the cure of Venereal Complaints. It will be prudent in all who estimate the value of health, to observe that each of the above articles have the signature of Richard Lee & Son, on the outside wrappers, without which none are genuine. Letters directed for Richard Lee & Son, No 17, Market Street, Baltimore, will be punctually attended to. October 10—6w
Patent Threshing Machine. I HAVE invented a machine for threshing all kinds of Grain contained in straw or chaff, particularly wheat, this machine has been found on fair trial to answer completely the purpose for which it was intended. Farmers now have it in their power to get out their grain with expedition, free of dirt, white caps or loss. This machine is constructed on entire new principles; its operation is by flails encircled by a cylinder moved upon friction wheels, and can be regulated at pleasure, to thresh the grain more or less, as the dampness, dryness, or particular kinds of grain may require it. It will be found upon examining the principles on which this machine is constructed, that it will be the fault of the possessor if any grain passes unthreshed; it separates the grain from the straw and chaff, as it threshes also the chaff from the straw; the construction is by no means complicated—not liable to get out of order, and not expensive to erect. It has been found by fair experiment the power of four small mules or two good horses, are sufficient to thresh and clean one hundred bushels per day with great ease. Those on extensive farms who wish more grain threshed per day may obtain any quantity they wish, by making the machine larger, and applying more power. It farmers only knew the excessive loss they sustain in getting out their grain in the mode heretofore used, nothing more would be necessary to bring my machine into general use. Those who have small streams on their farms will find they may set the machine going by water at a small expense, by a small tub wheel To those who are acquainted with the gentlemen whose certificates I annex, no thing need be said; those who are not, will find, on enquiry, for intelligence and respectability they have superiors. My price for the privilege of using my machine, is fifty dollars. I will dispose of my privilege for counties or states to those who wish to purchase on liberal terms. Letters addressed to me post paid, at Dumfries, Virginia, will be duly attended to. JAMES DENEALE. Dumfries, 22d Sept. 1806.
NO. I. I do hereby certify, that I have a threshing machine erected on the plan invented by Mr. James Deneale, of Dumfries, which exceeds my expectation. A great number of my neighbors who have seen it work, think it
does not leave one grain in ten thousand unthreshed; it separates the straw and chaff from the wheat as it threshes. It possesses many advantages over machines on the Scotch principle, as they will thresh none but what goes in with the ear first; so that all tangled wheat is not much more than half threshed. Mr. Deneale's machine threshes tangled wheat or sheaves put in but first perfectly clean. In very dry weather Scotch machines scutch off a great number of heads, a great many of which the utmost care cannot prevent being carried off by the straw; the very cars without straw are perfectly clean threshed by Mr. Deneale's. Scotch machines, take nearly double power to work them. I speak the above from experience; as I had a machine on the Scotch principle, which from the above faults I had not used for several years, and have now pulled it down. Mr. Deneale's machine will thresh from 70 to 100 bushels per day, four small mules or two good horses will work it with great ease, and I am convinced from the slow pace they go that two oxen would work it. Although my machine (which was the first erected in this part of the state) has been built but a few months, it is so well approved of that a great many more are either built or now building on the same construction. It will be shown in operation to any gentlemen calling on the subscriber, at Beverley's Ford, Fauquier county, Virg. STEPHEN MILBURN. September 5, 1806.
NO. II. I have several years known Mr. Milburn, who has given the within certificate—he is a sensible, judicious, practical farmer, and a man of good character. He is a native of the county of Northumberland, in the kingdom of G. Britain, and has been a successful farmer in this country. I think that great confidence is to be placed in what he says. DANIEL C. BRENT. September 13, 1806.
NO. III. I have had erected on my plantation a Threshing Machine upon the model invented by Mr. Deneale, of Dumfries; this machine separates the wheat from the straw more completely than it can be done by treading in the usual way with horses, and it will, I am persuaded, clean from 90 to 100 bushels per day I find that four mules will turn the machinery with ease. WILLIAM CHAMPE CARTER. Culpepper, 5th Sept. 1806.
NO. IV. Induced by motives of public good, I wish to make known, that in company with some of my neighbors, we viewed on the estate of Wm. Champe Carter, Esq. Mr. Deneale's new invented Patent Threshing Machine, performed by Mr. Webb, a most masterly, beautiful piece of mechanism. Notwithstanding the straw was damp and the negro slaver that worked it, awkward, yet on a fair trial it beat out and cleaned upwards of four bushels and a half in half an hour; we carefully examined the straw, which was so entirely cleaned of wheat that therein we did not find more than four or five grains. Therefore, on the whole, I do not hesitate to pronounce it, in my judgement, the most complete and most useful thing of the kind which human wisdom has yet invented. JOHN STRODE. Culpepper 1, 29th August, 1806.
NO. V. Since the date of the above, the manager of the estate of Wm. Champe Carter, Esq. Mr. Reuben Beazeley, a man of good character and respectability, who has had the conducting of the aforesaid machine, has made the following affidavit. JOHN STRODE. CULPEPPER COUNTY TO WIT: This day personally appeared before me, Mr. Reuben Beazeley, and made oath, that the wheat machine, commonly called Deneale's Patent Threshing machine, under his care and direction, on the estate of Wm. Champe Carter, Esq. as the hands begin to understand it more, gets out wheat faster than at the beginning; and has on fair trial lately cleaned from the straw in the space of half an hour more than six bushels of wheat, and believes it would continue to do that much as long as the four mules that work it could remain at that service, until taken out to give them food and water. Certified under my hand this 12th day of September, 1806. JOHN STRODE.
