LETTER
From a Hindu Philosopher, residing in Philadelphia, to his friend in Delhi.
Beloved El Hassan,
I have not yet done with the Gitagovinda of Jayadeva. Having dipped into this elegant poem, I am not willing to leave it, until I have taken a glance at all its principal beauties. Thou wilt remember, that we left Radha about to bewail the delay of Krishna. Among other pathetic sentiments, she utters the following:
"The appointed moment is come; but Heri, alas! comes not to the grove. The coolness of this vernal night gives me pain instead of refreshment: some happier damsel enjoys my beloved; whilst I, alas! am looking at the gems of my bracelets, which are blackened by the flames of my passion."
Seeing her damsel return without Krishna, her jealousy rises to phrenzy, and the poet makes her behold, in imagination, her lover in the arms of a rival.
"Yes; in habiliments becoming the war of love, and with tresses, waving like flowery banners, a damsel, more alluring than Radha, enjoys the conqueror of Madhu. Her form is transfigured by the touch of her divine lover; her garland quivers over her swelling bosom; her face, like the moon, is graced with clouds of dark hair, and trembles while she quaffs the nectareous dew of his lips; she floats on the waves of desire, and closes her eyes dazzled with the blaze of approaching Cama. See how he kisses the lip of my rival and imprints on her forehead an ornament of pure musk, black as the young antelope on the lunar orb! Now, like the husband of Reti, he fixes white blossoms on her dark locks, where they gleam like flashes of lightning among the curled clouds. On her breasts, like two firmaments, he places a string of gems, like a radiant constellation. Mark, how my soul, attracted by his irresistible charm, bursts from its mortal frame, and rushes to mix with its beloved."
"Pierced by the arrows of love, she passed the night in the agonies of despair, and at early dawn thus rebuked her lover, whom she saw laying prostrate before her, and imploring her forgiveness:
"Alas! alas! Go Madhava; depart, O Cesavi; speak not the language of guile; follow her, O lotus-eyed God, follow her who dispels thy care."
"Having thus inveighed against her beloved, she sat overwhelmed in grief, and silently meditated on his charms; when the damsel softly addressed her:
"He is gone: the light air has wasted him away. Continue not, resentful woman, thy indignation against the beautiful Madhava. Why shouldst thou render vain those round smooth vases, ample and ripe as the fruit of yon Tala tree? How often have I said, forsake not the blooming Heri!"
Krishna, after a short absence, returns, and by his eloquence, his fervor and praise entirely appeases the anger of Radha. Among other impassioned sentiments, he says:
"Thy lips are a Bandhujiva flower; the lustre of the Madhava beams on thy cheek; thine eyes out-shine the blue lotos; thy nose is a bud of the Tila; the Cunda blossom yields to thy teeth: thus the flowery shafted god borrows from thee the points of his darts, and subdues the universe. Surely thou descendest from heaven, O slender damsel, attended by a company of youthful goddesses; and all their beauties are collected in thee."
"He spake; and seeing her appeased by his homage, flew to his bower, clad in a gay mantle. The night now veiled all visible objects; and the damsel thus exhorted Radha, while she decked her with beaming ornaments:
"Follow, gentle Radhica, follow the foe of Madhu: his discourse was elegantly composed of soft phrases: he prostrated himself at thy feet: and he now hastens to his delightful couch, by yon grove of branching Vanjulas. The night now dresses in habiliments fit for secrecy, the many damsels who hasten to their places of assignation: she sets off with blackness their beautiful eyes; fixes dark Tamala leaves behind their ears; decks their locks with the deep azure of water lilies, and sprinkles musk on their panting bosoms. The nocturnal sky, black as the touchstone, tries now the gold of their affection, and is marked with rich lines from the flashes of their beauty, in which they surpass the brightest Cathmarians."
"Radha, thus incited, tripped through the forest; but shame overpowered her, when by the light of innumerable gems, on the arms, the feet, and the neck of her beloved, she saw him at the door of his flowery mansion: then her damsel again addressed her with ardent exultation:
"Enter, sweet Radha, the bower of Heri: seek delight, O thou, whose bosom laughs with the foretaste of happiness. Enter, sweet Radha, the bower, graced with a bed of Asoca leaves; seek delight, O thou whose garland leaps with joy upon thy breast. Enter, sweet Radha, the bower illumined with gay blossoms; seek delight, O thou, whose limbs far excel them in softness. Enter, O Radha, the bower made cool and fragrant by gales from the woods of Malaya: seek delight, O thou, whose amorous lays are softer than breezes. Enter, O Radha, the bower spread with leaves of twining creepers: seek delight, O thou, whose arms have been long inflexible. Enter, O Radha, the bower which resounds with the murmur of honey-making bees: seek delight, O thou, whose embrace yields more exquisite sweetness."
"She ended; & Radha, with timid joy darted her eyes on Govinda, while she musically sounded the rings of her ancles and the bells of her zone, entered the mystic bower of her only beloved. There she beheld her Madhava, who delighted in her alone; who so long had sighed for her embrace; and whose eyes then gleamed with excessive rapture: his heart was agitated by her sight, as the waves of the deep are affected by the lunar orb. His azure breast glittered with pearls of unblemished lustre, like the milky bed of the cerulean Yamuna, interspersed with curls of white foam. From his graceful waist, flowed a pale yellow robe, which resembled the golden dust of the water lilly, scattered over its blue petals. His passion was inflamed by the glances of her eyes, which played like a pair of water-birds, with azure plumage, that sport near a full blown lotos on a pool in the season of dew. Bright ear-rings, like two suns, displayed in full expansion, the flowers of his cheeks and lips, which glistened with the liquid radiance of smiles. His locks, interwoven with blossoms, were like a cloud variegated with moon beams; and on his forehead shone a circle of odorous oil, extracted from the sandal of Malaya, like the moon just appearing on the dusky horizon; while his body seemed in a flame from the blaze of unnumbered gems. Tears of transport gushed in a stream from the eyes of Radha, and their watery glances beamed on her best beloved. Even shame, which before had taken its abode in their dark pupils, was itself ashamed and departed, when the fawn-eyed Radha gazed on the brightened face of Krishna, while she passed by the soft edge of his couch, and the bevy of his attendant nymphs, pretending to strike the gnats from their cheeks, in order to conceal their smiles, warily retired from his bower."
"Govinda, seeing his beloved cheerful and serene, her lips sparkling with smiles, and her eye speaking desire, thus eagerly addressed her; while she carelessly reclined on the leafy bed strewn with soft blossoms:
"Set the lotos of thy foot on this azure bosom; and let this couch be victorious over all who rebel against love. Speak but one gentle word; bid nectar drop from the bright moon of thy mouth. O! suffer me to quaff the liquid bliss of those lips, restore with their water of life, thy slave, who has long been lifeless, whom the fire of separation has consumed. Oh! let affliction cease; and let ecstasy drown the remembrance of past sorrow."
"In the morning she rose, disarrayed, and her eyes betrayed a night without slumber; when the yellow robed god, who gazed on her with transport, thus meditated on her charms in his heavenly mind."
"Tho' her locks be diffused at random, tho' the lustre of her lips be faded, tho' her garland and zone be fallen from their enchanting stations, and tho' the hide their places with her hands, looking toward me with bashful silence, yet, even thus disarrayed she fills me with ecstatic delight."
"But Radha, preparing to array herself, before the company of nymphs could see her confusion, spake thus with exultation, to her obsequious lover:
"Peace, O son of Yadhu, with fingers cooler than sandal wood, place a circlet of musk on this breast: place, my darling, the glossy powder, which would make the blackest bee envious, on this eye, whose glances are keener than arrows, darted by
the husband of Reti. Now replace, O tender hearted, the loose ornaments of my vesture; and reflex the golden bells of my girdle on their destined station, which resembles those hills, where the God with five shafts, who destroyed Sambar, keeps his elephant ready for battle." "While she spake, the heart of Yadhava triumphed; and obeying her sportful behests, he placed musky spots on her bosom and forehead, dyed her temples with radiant hues, embellished her eyes with additional blackness, decked her braided hair and her neck with fresh garlands, and tied on her wrists the loosened bracelets, on her ancles the beamy rings, and round her waist the zone of bells, that sounded with ravishing melody."
"Whatever is delightful in the modes of music, whatever is divine in the meditations on Vishnu, whatever is exquisite in the sweet art of love, whatever is graceful in the fine strains of poetry, all that let the happy and the wife learn from the songs of Jayadeva, whose soul is united with the foot of Narayan."
Thus, my dear friend, thou hast before thee some of the most striking beauties of Solomon's Song & of the Gitagovinda. The latter is decked with all the exquisite beauty, and dazzling splendor of Indian painting; written in a country where scenes of beauty are more vivid and luxuriant than in any other: and worked up by the finest follies of Hindu imagination. It must therefore always command the admiration of every lover of nature, whether he drew his first breath on the banks of the Ganges or the Hudson. But it must be confessed that the beauties of the former, if they are not equally glowing, are more chaste both in morals and taste than those of the latter. That the great Brumma, by the delicious strains of poetry contained in the Gitagovinda, may allure our minds to a contemplation of "the reciprocal attraction between the divine goodness and the human soul" is the ardent wish of thy most
Faithful Friend, SHAHCOOLEN.

TRANSLATIONS FOR THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, FROM LATE HAMBURGH PAPERS.
AMSTERDAM, September 19.
The following remarkable Proclamation of the Directory was published yesterday, just at the closing of the mail:—
BATAVIANS!—This day it was carried only by two votes, in the first chamber of the Legislative Body, that our proclamation of the 14th inst. be published—the people are hereby invited, either to reject or to adopt the plan of the New Constitution. The object of this is no less than to unite the people, to let them give their free suffrages upon an important point, which possibly may become the parent of intense convulsions, by a continuance of an order of things, which, through confusion, is risen to its summit, and which embraces the interests of but few, while the whole is hurrying to its ruin. We feel it our sacred duty, not only to expose such pernicious projects, but also to avert as much as in us lays, its direful consequences. We have adopted efficient measures, to prevent the assembling of the legislative body, until the sense of the people is known. Citizens of Batavia, it is with reluctance, that we impeach the conduct of our fellow-citizens: but we cannot, we dare not allow, that the voice of the whole nation shall be suppressed—and that comparatively but few, without any prior investigation, should audaciously call themselves the people. Our only motive is to be informed of your sentiments, and what will be your sovereign will. Your will, shall be our guide, we will without selfishness, promote the good of the whole. Judge, therefore, coolly and deliberately respecting the plan of the new Constitution—Digest it well, without being biased by others—remember that not only our dearest rights, but also the welfare of your posterity is at stake, and choose that which to you shall seem most salutary. Rest assured, that the measures which are adopted for your security, will be efficient: be convinced that we are willing and able, to curb the temerity of the audacious, who might be vile enough to undertake to shackle your free suffrages: the Directory orders this to be made public, and that it shall be posted up in all public places.
Done at the Hague, the 18th September. 1801. Seventh year of Batavian Liberty.
Signed, BESIER, Loco-President. MAZEL, Loco-Secretary.
HAGUE, Sept. 26. Peace and tranquillity still prevail, notwithstanding the adoption of the new constitution, and although several of the directors have refused to accede to it.

By several letters from the officers and crews of the American vessels detained at Algeziras it appears, that these unfortunate men are treated by their unmanly victors, with more than savage brutality. We have now before us a letter from one of the crew of the ship Molly, of this port dated October 20 which states "our captain, supercargo, mates and crew, without exception, have been plundered, and those who refuse to strip have been mangled by the swords of these savages, the blood issuing at every stroke."
The captain had a stab at him across the table, which had, it reached, him would have gone to his heart."
A gentleman passenger in the Jane and Maria, from Gibraltar, has furnished the following information:—

All American vessels, having "Gibraltar" inserted in any of their papers, and met with by Spanish privateers, will be captured, as that garrison is still declared in a state of blockade.
Notwithstanding several of the above vessels have been cleared, yet not a single cent has ever been allowed for damages, &c. but on the contrary, they are compelled to pay the expenses attending the trial: and in order to insure their release, a handsome douceur is indispensably necessary; so that the unfortunate American seldom gets off without paying at least 6000 dollars.
At a moderate calculation, the value of American property at present detained in Algeziras, is 1,165,000 dollars.
Alexandria Advertiser.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23.
The Hamburgh papers received by the ship Mercury, of a date prior to the 30th September, contain not a single article worth the trouble of a translation. That of the 30th is particularly interesting. It informs us, in a letter from Constantinople of the 4th of September, that on the 17th August the siege of Alexandria commenced. After attacking the French gun boats, in which two of them were blown up, brigadier general Coote advanced with 5000 men and took Macabou without resistance. During this operation the English squadron before Alexandria made a feint attack on the town, while gen. Hutchinson attacked the French redoubts upon the Green Hills, which he carried with very little loss. On the 31st July the French garrison of Cairo arrived at Rosetta. The measures adopted for their embarkation were so prompt that the whole garrison had failed on the 17th August. The French troops consisted of 8000 men, amongst them 900 cavalry, and 50 pieces of cannon. The other persons comprized in the capitulation, amounting to about 5000 of all descriptions, had also passed down the Nile.
The news of the siege of Alexandria having commenced on the 17th August, is confirmed by an extraordinary courier, who arrived at Vienna about the 22d September. He brought intelligence that the siege was conducted with so much success, that gen. Menou had requested an armistice of two days, in order to settle the articles of the evacuation of Alexandria, and also the ratification of the convention of Cairo.
A letter of the 22d September, from Paris, says, "If the negotiation for peace with Great Britain should not succeed, it is generally expected that at the beginning of October the expedition against England will be carried into execution. The camp near Boulogne received numerous reinforcements on the 13th. Several corps of infantry and cavalry from Lille, Douay, and Arras, are on their march for Calais. Admiral Neilly held a general council of war a few days ago. The troops near Boulogne amounting to 25,000 have received orders to prepare for embarkation, and to leave behind all useless baggage. The maritime prefects of Dunkirk, Boulogne, and Havre, and many other general officers, have arrived at Paris to receive their instructions respecting the expedition. An adjutant of the First Consul has been dispatched to admiral Latouche at Boulogne. Forty-two gun-boats at Calais are still prevented from joining the flotilla at Boulogne by the British cruisers. The Brest fleet is getting ready for sea. The telegraphic correspondence between Brest and Paris is uncommonly frequent."
The number of British vessels cruising at the mouth of the Scheldt increased daily and the number of English men of war off the coasts of Holland and Flanders received continual augmentation, in order to prevent the sailing of the Dutch fleet under admiral de Winter, which was supposed to be destined for Boulogne, to protect the sailing of the French flotilla from Calais.
At Brussels, according to advices of the 24th, gen. Angereau was expected with his whole staff. French and Prussian cabinet couriers were daily passing and repassing through Brussels, to which place a strong corps of French troops was on its march.
A letter was received at Copenhagen on the 26th Sept. from London, stating that the debarkation of a cargo of Sugar from the Danish West-India islands had been stopped, from which it was inferred that the Danish ships with the produce of those islands will be permitted to sail with their cargoes to Denmark. Two couriers arrived at Copenhagen from London on the 22d of Sept. When the court of Denmark agrees to the convention of Peterburgh of the 17th June, then its possessions in the West-Indies are to be restored.
Mr. Pinckney, the American minister to the court of Madrid, left the Hague on the 25th of September for the place of his destination.

REMARKS.  Sugar and coffee.—Havanna sugar, Java and ordinary coffee, continue to meet a dull sale, and the stocks at market are rather heavy. Clayed and Muscovado sugar, and fine coffee, are in demand; but the export season is so nearly closed, that prices are not expected to vary much be- 
fore the ensuing spring, and how they will then open, is at present uncertain.
Cotton.—Fine Cotton being scarce, commands a ready sale at the annexed prices. There is a large stock of inferior cottons at market, and no improvement is soon expected in the prices of this description. Upon the whole, however, the demand seems likely to revive.
Flour.—The harvest is now very generally completed, & it is the prevalent opinion that wheat will realize the favorable expectations entertained of it in respect both to quantity and quality. But notwithstanding this, we are of opinion the prices for the ensuing year will continue considerably higher than the public are disposed to expect. What the precise currency may be, it would be difficult to anticipate at present, but we fully expect it will be an advance on the present prices.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Paris to his friend in Philadelphia, dated September 2, 1801.
Dear Sir,
IN my last, I mentioned the ratification of our treaty, and now with pleasure inform you, that the tribunal of prizes have commenced hearing American causes. In three that have been decided, the property is ordered to be restored, and I doubt not but the greater number, if not all will be decided in the same way. There is neither interest nor damage allowed nor need be looked for, nor compensation for pillage.
There is now some reason to believe that appeals for captures in the West-Indies will be admitted in the tribunal of prizes: so that whatever cases you or your friends may have, I would recommend you preparing and sending over, with a full power of attorney by all means, let the fakes of the property accompany it, and see that every piece is legalized by the tribunal that condemned it.
In many instances it will be better to sacrifice a part, in compounding with the captors, than to contend; but that you will take in consideration in giving the power to act for you here.
Negotiations still goes on: dispatches come and go daily, yet peace is very doubtful and fates rather slow. The ports in the channel still afford the best market.

The Subscriber will SELL:
OR EXCHANGE for approved land near the Blue-Ridge,
A valuable Tract of Land
in Northumberland county, two miles from the court-house, and near the bank of the Potomac, containing 1163 acres. This tract is divided into two plantations, on the one there is a brick dwelling house 50 by 33 feet conveniently divided, and two brick offices, 24 by 16 feet. A farm-house 20 by 16 feet designed for an overseer, and other out houses.
The conveniences of this place are equalled by few, and the prospect excelled by none in the state. The house is situated on a high hill and commands an extensive view of the Potomac and the Chesapeake bay. There is a creek abounding with the finest fish and oysters, which terminates the flat land of this tract, that is navigable for bay craft, and affords an excellent landing place within half a mile of the house. On this part of the tract there is an excellent bearing apple and peach orchard, and a variety of other fruit trees. It has a great sufficiency of oak and hickory timber, for the use of the plantation, besides a large quantity of pine.
On the other plantation there is a frame dwelling house 32 by 16 feet, and a few out houses, such as tenants generally have about them. This part of the tract is as well situated for farming as any lands in Virginia. It is well watered, has a sufficiency of timber for its support, and flourishing young peach and apple orchards.
As it is presumable that no person will make such a purchase without viewing the premises, all that is necessary to add is that Mr. Spencer Ball, living thereon, will show the whole, and is fully authorised to make sale thereof.
JAMES V. BALL.
N. B. Any person purchasing may be supplied with stock of all kinds necessary and sufficient for the plantation.
