LONDON, June 8.
We have, in a preceding part of our paper, given the report of the select committee of the house of commons on the case of Sir Home Popham. Every friend to the service will be rejoiced to find, that the report, on the whole is not only highly favorable, but redounds in an eminent degree, to the honor and credit of that valuable and meritorious officer.
We are happy to hear from the most respectable quarter, that the Roman Catholics of Ireland are highly pleased with the very calm and temperate manner in which the prayer of their petition has been rejected by the members of administration. We are well assured, that so far from betraying any symptom of ill blood or ill temper at the issue of that discussion, that on the contrary that large and respectable class of the community never seemed more disposed to look kindly on their superiors. The only regret that appears to be expressed is at some of the assertions made by Lord Redesdale on that occasion. We understand that the Catholic Bishops of the Southern Province have been applied to on the subject of the information, stated to have been communicated to his lordship relative to communications, and that they solemnly disavow the charge; and we further understand, that it is their intention to publish an instrument to that purpose. Indeed it were as well that no such topics had been so emphatically and so authoritatively dwelt on.

A new religious sect has sprung up in the western parts of India and extend their doctrines by fire and sword. Their leader, Shah Azza, is cruel, crafty, and enterprising, and his success have obtained him numerous followers on the frontiers of Guzerat, and on the borders of the desert.
Several children of Devonshire, who had been inoculated for the cow-pock, have been covered with an entire and virulent eruption, doubtless proceeding from some disorder with which the subject from which the vaccine matter originally taken had been afflicted. The circumstance, however, has created a great alarm: and we are sorry to add, a temporary suspension of vaccination.
By a recent return made to the Court of Denmark, it appears that 28,966 persons have been inoculated for the cow pock since the introduction of this practice, without a single instance of mortality occurring from it.

The interesting Madame Jerome Bonaparte was yesterday in Kensington Gardens, accompanied by her brother and a party of friends; and those by whom she was recognised, were highly gratified by contemplating the innocent simplicity of her countenance, and sympathised in the infamous treatment she has experienced. It is understood, that she is to be present this evening at the Grand Oriental Gala given at Vauxhall; and no event we may venture to prognosticate, would prove a greater source of attraction.
June 14.
The importance of the French papers which arrived on Wednesday, is less derived from the facts they communicate, than from the hints, the insinuations, the comments and the reflections they throw out upon the situation of Great Britain and the Continent, the events of the war, and the views and designs of the parties engaged in it. Though published in the form of detached notes upon the English papers, they may be fairly considered as an official exposition of the views and objects of the French government, and may be divided and discussed under three heads.
 1. The means which France possesses of annoying our commerce and possessions, by detached squadrons and expeditions.  2. The improbability of a Continental war.  3. A glance at the objects which France expects to accomplish by the war, and some hints and suggestions of a pacific tendency.  Throughout the whole of this exposition there is an air of triumph and disdain, of menace and insolence, of superiority and dictation, which the dignity of the British character may well despise, and which indeed, may be considered as so many tributes to the superiority of our resources, the extent of our means, and the greatness of our power. Somewhat indeed of a more haughty and insolent tone than usual must be pardoned in a government not yet recovered from the exultation and surprise which the safe return of the first squadron they had dared to send to sea, after two years of war, was calculated to produce.
1. It is the safe return of this squadron that has made the enemy flatter themselves on a sudden, that they can cope with us;
and because they can send ships to sea, which sometimes escape capture, by not falling in with our fleets, they imagine that they have become a great naval power. It would have been better to have waited till all those blows, with which they threatened us, had been struck; but as perhaps they thought it just possible that the boaster might beat, they were resolved not to lose the only opportunity which might be afforded them of holding a lofty and triumphant tone. They tell us, "that we knew not of the departure of the Rochefort squadron till it had taken Dominica, not of the departure of the Toulon till it had passed the Straits and that we shall hear no more of it for some months; the departure of a second Rochefort squadron has not even been spoken of, and there are several large frigates which are to do great mischief upon coasts which we think are little known to their sailors." We quote these expressions not for the purpose of paying attention to the menaces they contain, but of hazarding a conjecture upon the destination of the expeditions. When they say that we shall hear no more of the Toulon squadron for some months, do they mean from the time it passed the Straits, or from the present period? If they mean the former, upwards of two months have already elapsed, and if it be gone to the West-Indies we shall hear of its operations or arrival in all probability by the end of this month. But the phrase seems applicable to a more distant voyage than the West-Indies. Some time ago we supposed it very probable that the combined fleets would separate in a certain latitude, and that the French would proceed to the East Indies, and the Spaniards to the West. The intelligence we communicated yesterday seems to favor that supposition. A Spanish squadron, of four sail of the line, was spoken in lat. 18, N. long. 40, steering a S. W. course on the 8th and 9th ult. Undoubtedly this was the Spanish squadron from Cadiz, which it seems probable separated from the French immediately after leaving Cadiz; for on the 9th April, they came out; on the 10th the French were out of sight, but on the 11th and 12th, the Spanish squadron of 5 sail of the line, were seen beating to the westward, having perhaps, lost sight of the French in the night of the 10th. We are still, therefore, of opinion, that the Toulon squadron is gone to the East Indies—in fact the French talk of the blows they will strike in both the Indies. The injury they are to do on those coasts which we thought were unknown to them, are said to be the coast of Canada, Hudson's Bay, and Newfoundland. Perhaps the second Rochefort squadron are gone thither. But our readers of course will not fail to see that the French, in the articles we have extracted, mix up, designed of course much that is absurd, a great deal of insolence and menaces. We trust that we shall furnish them with a few facts in return, and that we shall have to republish their notes with some valuable comments by Lord NELSON.
2. It is with reluctance that we abandon the idea of producing a confederacy of continental powers against France, but the hopes of any powerful co-operation on the part of Russia, grow fainter and fainter every day. We might have disbelieved the articles from Petersburg in the Moniteur : but the fact of a Russian negotiator being on the point of proceeding to Paris cannot be doubted. That the object of his mission is to notify an ultimatum agreed to by Russia and Great Britain conjointly, we do not believe. We do not believe it because we know that the approximation between Russia and France has been produced by the king of Prussia, who would not have interfered had he suspected that Russia had an intention of notifying through an ambassador, for whom he had procured passports, that unless certain conditions were acceded to, the courts of Petersburg, London, and Stockholm, would make common cause against France. That the sentiments of Russia have experienced a change within three months is not to be doubted. If it were worth while to enter much into an investigation of the causes of that change, it would not, we believe be difficult to prove that it has been produced in a degree by the belief so industriously circulated throughout Europe, that parties were too equally balanced in this country to render it likely that Mr. Pitt's power would be permanent, and that a change of administration would in all probability lead to the adoption of a diametrically opposite system of politics with respect to France. Russia and the other powers were not to learn that Mr. Fox had reprobated the war as unnecessary and unjust, and had approved of the treaty of Amiens. To have made a common cause therefore with a country whose system towards France
might have changed with a change of ministry, was a policy which under such circumstances, they must have felt disinclined to adopt.
Yet at the time we are expressing our disbelief, at least our strong doubts whether Russia or any of the continental powers, will co-operate with us against France, it is proper we should state that the last accounts from Vienna, are by no means pacific in their language towards France; and it is a fact that the funds at Vienna fell, four per cent in one day. But we hardly think that the Austrian government will yet depart from its system of neutrality.
3. The chances of a continental war being so feeble, it remains to be enquired whether there is any stronger chance of peace being established between this country and France? The Moniteur says the object of Russia is to interfere as far as she can, for the purpose of restoring general peace. If indeed, we thought the Moniteur serious in the angry tone it assumes, and insolent pretensions it sets forth, we should abandon every idea of peace. But we find that these pretensions vary almost daily, and that one day the Moniteur insists upon nothing but the treaty of Amiens, and in the next insinuates that if the treaty be departed from, there must be reciprocal restitutions. Upon the nature and object of those restitutions the Moniteur has thrown out some ideas, which shall be the subject of a separate article on a future day. At present we shall conclude by saying if France expects that we shall consent to such restitutions as she hints at she will find herself completely mistaken, she will find herself equally mistaken if she supposes that we shall except the treaty of Amiens—the whole treaty of Amiens, and nothing but the treaty of Amiens.

The pope we are told, baptised a child of the new blood royal of France. It were devoutly to be wished, that he was now called in to administer extreme unction to the head of the family.
A corpulent baronet who piques himself upon his agility,, exclaimed the other day, in a tone of exultation to a witty friend "It is strange Tom, that I should be so uncommonly active, is it not?" "It only proves" drily answered, the wit "that two opposite qualities are combined, the form of the bear with the alertness of the monkey."
Jerome Bonaparte, says the Morning Post of June 17, still resides at Genoa; his unnatural brother, who has cruelly obliged him to separate himself from his amiable & interesting spouse, not having yet permitted him to approach his Royal person.

At two o'clock P. M. saw her capture the Eliza, and continued the chase; at seven, same evening, was boarded by the British brig Mahon, treated politely; informed her of the capture of the above vessels; she immediately made sail for them—they were all in sight of the privateer.

GREAT NEWS!!!
Just as this paper was put to press, ar- rived captain Haynes, in the sch'r Para- mon, 15 days from St. Bartholomews, from whom we learn the following particulars: That the day before he sailed information was received at St. Bartholomews from Barbadoes, which advised that a frigate had arrived at that Island after a short passage from England, with dispatches, which stat- ed that the Brest Fleet had put to sea, and that an engagement had taken place between the French and the British channel fleet, in which 6 ships of the line of the French were taken, sunk, and the remainder returned to port in a very shattered condition. (Norfolk Ledger.)
Foreign.—In the Glasgow Journal of the 14th June, we find the following re- marks on the present situation of Europe: Our foreign news for last week, have been inconsiderable. Russia, by accounts coming down to a late date in May, ap- pears still to prosecute most strenuously, the extension of her power on the black sea. The internal improvement of the Russian empire advances at this time more rapidly than ever. The Georgians, Mingrelians, Circassians, and those other barbarous tribes which desolate and infest the regions between the Russian and Persian empires, are about to be subdued, restrained and civilized. The emperor Alexander seems inclined to peace with France, yet pre- pares for war. Sweden, speaking in some sort the very voice of Russia, declares against Bonaparte, with a spirit and firm- ness second only to those of Britain. Den- mark is silent, on account of the vicinity of the French troops, or for other reasons, but will not ultimately resist the influence of Russia and Sweden. Prussia still maintains a doubtful part, cautious, but scarcely honorable, and certainly remote from sublime and manly wisdom: The Turkish government acting, like Sweden, under Russian influence, has boldly set the menaces of Bonaparte at defiance: Austria hesitates, maintains a threatening posture and aspect, and tries to wrest from Prussia, the pride of being umpire in the present contest: Portugal is still secure in a sort of neutrality, by the prudence of its government, by the readiness of its con- tributions, by the danger lest Russia should take arms, and Spain revolt, as soon as the Portuguese were actually attacked.— We should not be surprised to learn that Bonaparte had offered to sacrifice all his other pretensions in an offer of peace upon terms which should procure the general recognition of his powers and titles as em- peror of France and king of Italy. But, should he obtain this much—he will soon demand even ten times more.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Eu- rope, to his correspondent in Philadel- phia.
"Your request on the three different kinds of Peruvian Bark, shall be satisfied. Red bark, you may rest assured is the best of the three, because it is more resinous than the other kinds. It is my opinion, that half of the red bark, contains as much astringent quality as the others do in dou- ble the quantity; I would therefore advise you to use it in preference to any other.— It is not so easily adulterated as the other kinds. Red is a colour the most nice and difficult to imitate in nature; if any thing foreign is mixed with it, it is immediately discovered by the taste. The difference of shade, is no proof of adulteration, this is entirely owing to a selection of the bark; the small and middling sized pieces give a brighter colour than the thick pieces. The yellow and pale is more easily adul- terated with the lign. quassia. If the bit- ter quality of this wood is extracted by boil- ing it a little, the wood dried, and powder- ed, it may be mixed with the yellow and pale bark, in considerable quantity, with- out a possibility of discovering it. This being the case, the red bark is most safe and certain to use; for as I have already observed it is impossible to adulterate this without being discovered by the taste.— The lign. quassia you cannot discover when intimately mixed with the other two kinds. Red bark has risen considerably in price lately, owing to the scarcity.
From the Boston Repertory.
In the American Mercury, a paper which holds considerable rank among the democrats of Connecticut, are the follow- ing passages, relating to the late Celebrati- on of the fourth of July.
"Nothing will answer the federalists but the lamentation of Job. Let that day be darkness, neither let the light shine up- on it. Let the night be solitary; let them curse it that curse the day."
"This language is appropriate because there is a strong resemblance between fe- deralism and Job. Job had been in great prosperity, so has federalism. Job lost nearly all his friends, so has federalism. Job was very sore, so are the federalists. Job fretted vehemently, so do they."
We must confess ourselves no less struck with the strong resemblance between federalism and the man of Uz, than this poor democrat; who, had he perused his bible with a little more attention, would perhaps not so readily admitted the resem- blance. Job was a man of sincerity and truth. In his conduct, he pursued with firmness and perseverance the path of rec- titude. But it pleased the Almighty to attack, annoy and afflict him with plagues. Lies were told him, to tamper with his faith. He nourished one in his very bo- som, who used the best means to corrupt him. The resemblance as says the Mer- cury is strong. The enemies of Job af- fected to be more wise than he, and "mag- nified themselves," in their false phi- losophy; they inferred from his humiliati- on that he was in error and they in the high road to perfectability. Job bore his degradation without indulging a rebel state of mind, and in the darkest moments no- bly refused to hold fast his integrity. How honorable to federalists, that their ene- mies compare them to Job! Now mark the issue. Delusion at length vanished—the false counsels and empty professions of pretended friends were refuted and expos- ed. Job was tried and proved faithful, restored to dignity and splendor, and his latter end was blessed more than his begin- ning.
From the PORT FOLIO.
THE LAY PREACHER.
"LET US GET UP EARLY."
The wisest man of Palestine, among other valuable legacies, has left us this admirable injunction. He was, him- self, an early riser, passionate in his love, and persevering in the pursuit, of Wis- dom. In his celebrated song, which stamps him the Ovid of Judea, one of the first pe- titions to timid beauty, which the ingenuity not less than the ardor, of the lover devised, was that she would "rise up and come away." At day break, and while the sha- dows of night are retiring, he impatiently awaits the Sun, with healing in his beams, to direct him to "the orchard of pome- granates," the well of living waters, and streams of Lebanon.
Solomon would hardly have written three thousand proverbs, and a madrigal to his love, with such wisdom and wit, if he had not, by the air and scenery of the morning, corroborated his health, and kindled his fancy. Whether active as a king or indo- lent as a lover, he perceived that early hours were auxiliary both to business and plea- sure; and, therefore, judiciously advises to rise with the lark.
In our climate, a midsummer morning's dream not Shakespeare himself should be permitted to tell. Blankets and pillows look so dull and warm, and green grass and trees so cheerful and refreshing, it is won- derful the sluggard cannot, even with half shut eyes, discern such wide extremes, and prefer strolling in the fields to tumbling in in bed.
But, in the course of my parochial visita- tions, my early tap at many a door is often answered by a voice exclaiming from be- hind a curtain; it is the voice of the slug- gard. The cock has crowed thrice, and a certain robbins have sung two hymns and a ballad before half my acquaintance have "girded their loins," buckled their shoes, and combed their hair. Yet these crea- tures, not content with the naps of the night, swathe themselves like so many E- gyptian mummies, in a sheet, four hours after sun rise, and then have the impu- dence to rise and talk of business and the beauty of the day.
The princely poet, author of our excel- lent text, when exhorting to summer enjoy- ments, points not to the night season, nor to the "inner pavilion" of the palace, but informs us that his "bed is green," and his love displayed in the open air.
The gallant Solomon invites the blushing belle of Egypt to a morning's ramble into the vine-yard, and gives her his love amid the dews of dawn. Well wert thou called wise, thou Sensitive Prince, if it were only for thy knowledge of the female heart.— Well didst thou know that the buds of beau- ty, like the blossoms of Shinah, stealing
fresh vigour from repose, expand all their sweetness to the morning ray. In modern times, the torpid lover snores, amid the evening fog, the praises of his mistress, while the sprightly strains of his serenade are obtunded by the mists of midnight. Or, perhaps, with that ideal and metaphy- sical love which tormented Don Quixote, and other hair-brained knights of chivalry, he merely dreams of an absent mistress, and leaves to the early and active wooer to experience the charming vicissitudes of ge- nuine passion.
In close parlours and the long winter's eve, we may pore over rent-rolls, and en- gross marriage settlements. Let the de- cayed gentleman, in cork-soled shoes, go- loshes and flannel, court the delicate maid- en in the close cap, and comfortable bed- gown. But he who would woo thee, bux- om Health, must
"Bush, with hasty step, the dews away, And meet the Sun upon the upland lawn." He must not seek thee behind fire-screens, or lolling on a sofa, but must erect a lodge in the village; and before the day break, and the shadows flee away, when the rose and the mandrake give a sweet smell, listen to the jocund song, mingling with the man- tin of the lark.
But the morning air breathes not for lov- ers alone. If the Philosopher will arise and meditate at the morning tide, though he may not rival the fame, he may attain the old age of Chancellor Bacon.
The Divine, by the light of the rising sun, may catch hints from creation, which may serve to raise the affections of his flock to HIM, who divided the light from the darkness.
The Merchant who opens his counting- house windows to the breezes of morn, may perhaps find a reward in the custom of the early purchaser.
The Lawyer, who has groped the pre- ceding day, in the intricacies of special pleading, when he views the peaceful face of morning, and is enlightened by the bea- my sun, may perchance, from the serenity of the hour, be led to con the eulogium of "Blessed are the peace makers."
While the blythe husbandman, whom Providence has ordained to mingle plea- sure with profit, finds, amid his lowing herds, bleating sheep, and flushing fields, an excitement to the task of the coming day.
I cannot conclude this paper without ex- hortation, with emphasis, every studious, every sedentary, and every contemplative man to get up early, and thus to find time for the accomplishment of both profitable and pleasurable purposes. Though we cannot literally, like the Orientals, gather "a cluster of campher in the vineyards of Engedi;" tho' we cannot repair to "the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frank- incense;" though the "pomegranate" does not redder in our vales, nor "calamus" nor "cinnamon," scent our groves, yet even in this western wild, we may find the lily of the valleys, and the rose of fra- grance. Let us, therefore, forsaking the feverish dreams of the morning pillow, shake off the enfeebling chains of Sloth, and go down into the garden to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies." Let us inspect "the fruits of the valley," and "see whether the vine flourish." By the "rivers of waters" let us walk and expa- tiate through the leafy cloisters in the Tem- ple of Nature.

Highway Robbery!
1500 Dollars Reward.
YESTERDAY, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, Mr. JOHN PETER, an officer of the Bank of COLUMBIA, was stopped on horseback on the road between this town and Alexandria, and within about two miles of the latter place, by some unknown villain, shot through the body with a pistol, and robbed of a sum of money in his possession belonging to this Institution, which he was taking to Alexandria, for the purpose of exchanging with the Bank there.
The whole sum taken amounted to Eighteen Thousand One Hundred and Fourteen Dollars and Sixty-five Cents, made up in packages—among which were
1 Post Note of the Bank of Virginia, for 800 dollars 1 ditto of the Bank of Alexandria for 500 1 ditto of the same for 500 1 ditto of the same for 450 1 ditto of the Bank of Potomac, 149 65 cents.
A Check of the Union Bank, on the Bank of Alexandria, drawn by R. Higginbotham, Cashier in favor of Greatham and Devereau, by them endorsed and by Benjamin Stoddert, and C. Smith, Teller.
There were also a parcel of Post Notes of the Bank of Alexandria for 100 dollars and for 50 dollars each. The remainder was in current notes, principally of the banks of Alexandria and Potomac, and some few of the Bank of Virginia at different sizes and denominations.
As the ATTACK was SUDDEN, and the WOUND received of a nature to deprive Mr. Peter instantly of his senses, (although it is now hoped he will recover) the description obtained may not be very accurate. As far as we are informed, the man who perpetrated the act, is of middle stature, good countenance, and had a gentle appearance. He had on a dark blue or black coat, nankin pantalons, boots, and a black hat; he was on FOOT and ALONE at the time, but may have had accomplices concealed, and will probably change his clothes.
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS will be given to any person or persons, who will detect and bring to conviction the ROBBER; and ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS additional for the recovery of the whole of the money, or in proportion for any smaller sum recovered. Should there be accomplices, and one of them make a discovery, so that it leads to the conviction of the robber, or to the recovery of the money, he shall receive the ABOVE REWARD, and interest will be made to obtain his PARDON.
