LONDON, April 18. On the 14th inst. just as the house of Commons received their usual summons to attend the commission in the upper house it was intimated that his majesty would be ready to receive, at four o'clock, the resolutions respecting lord Melville, at Saint James's palace. From the earliness of the hour and the shortness of the notice, not more than half a dozen members were in full dress.
The Cork Mercantile Chronicle, of Wednesday the 10th inst. contains the following extraordinary article:
"We are sorry to be informed that a dispatch has arrived at the Castle of Dublin on Monday evening, stating the capture of transports with the 15th, 19th, and 96th regiments on board, and a part of the convoy. This news is understood to have left the W. Indies the 6th March."
We understand that the dispatches received by the government on Monday, are of such a nature as to bear us out completely in the opinions we have from time to time advanced on the probability, or rather the certainty of Russia giving us effectual aid in the contest in which we are engaged.
It appears by a letter from Plymouth, that lord Cochrane, of the Pallas, has with the consent of his crew, returned to the captain of the Spanish ship, la Fortuna, & a passenger who was on board, five thousand dollars each, of their private property taken on board that vessel, and which amounted to sixty thousand dollars in specie and merchandise. The case of the capt. was peculiarly distressing, as he had lost a similar fortune in exactly the same manner last war; and having begun the world again, has been ever since realising an independence, which he was conveying home to settle for life. The merchant's case was equally hard, as he has passed the best part of his life in the unhospitable climate of Peru.
Extract of a private letter from Hamburg, April 2.
"The city of Lubec has offered the French one hundred thousand marcs banco—but on condition that they be allowed to deduct from that sum the interest of the last loan, and receive security that no more be required of them, during the occupation of Hanover by the French troops.—It is said they were encouraged to insist on their demands by a very favorable letter from the king of Prussia; and also by a letter from the Prussian minister Hardenburg to general Bernadotte, entreating him no longer to molest and obstruct the trade of the city of Lubec. The French general however has refused to accept the sum offered and demands two hundred thousand marcs banco. The senate have assembled to deliberate on this demand, and has positively refused to comply with it, in expectation of being supported by the King of Prussia."
"We are assured here that the proposals made to Russia on the part of France, under the mediation of Prussia have not been accepted by the former court as Russia will listen to no propositions but such as are compatible with the general interests & peace of Europe."
It is said the court of Naples has given that of France, new assurances with regard to its neutrality; that it has engaged no longer to furnish provisions to the English fleet in the Mediterranean; and has undertaken to maintain the French troops in the Neapolitan states.
It is an undoubted and well known fact that Bonaparte proposed to surrender all the Irish emigrants to the English government on condition they would act a similar part by the Bourbon family, and the French emigrants in England; but that the offer was rejected with indignation.
The Porte has announced to all the foreign ministers, by a circular note that the new tariff of customs for all nations trading to Turkey, has been definitely regulated; but the French government not having explained itself on this subject, the Porte transmitted to Paris the tariff, in which it is distinctly expressed that the French ships arriving in Turkey shall pay 3 per cent, to which it has been added, that if the French do not declare themselves on this subject in the space of six months, the officers of the customs in Turkey, shall have orders to take the 3 per cent on the merchandise of all ships arriving in the Levant seas. The Porte concludes this circular by requesting all the ministers not to occasion any impediment to its new system of the customs.
The court of the Thuilleries have not yet gone into mourning for the late Queen Dowager of Prussia. As a prelude to the observance of this ceremonial a demand
has been transmitted to the French resident at Berlin to know how that court would conduct itself in case of the demise of any of the august Bonaparte family.
April 30.
In our letter from Deal yesterday, we state the arrival in the Downs of the seven French gun-boats captured by our-boats captured by our squadron off Boulogne, as mentioned in the Star of Thursday. It gives us much pleasure to be able now to state, that though our vessels received some damage from the batteries on shore, we had no men killed in the action, which lasted three hours, and but one wounded.
By the subjoined letter received this morning we learn, that besides the seven prizes taken by the Leda and her squadron on Wednesday last, the Archer brig succeeded in capturing, next morning, two of the enemy's vessels, one of them commanded by commodore Nooy, chef de division .
In the above prizes our brave tars have captured part of the 51st and 91st demi brigades, with two of the members of Bonaparte's Legion of Honor.
"Dover, April 25."
"This day arrived his majesty's ship Leda, commanded by Robert Honeyman, esquire, from off Boulogne, having on the 24th, sustained some damage in her hull, sails, and rigging, in an action with a division of the enemy's flotilla, consisting of 36 sail, on their passage from Dunkirk and Ostend, which she (with her squadron) intercepted under the strong batteries of Cape Grisnez, and after a close action of three hours succeeded in capturing seven of them, having part of the 51st and 61st demi-brigades, having for commanders two of Bonaparte's Legion of Honor. We are happy to state that although the squadron experienced some damage in their hulls, &c. there were none killed and but one slightly wounded during that long and arduous contest."
"It being judged expedient, from the situation of the remainder of the division that a strict observation should be kept upon them during the ensuing night, two of our squadron were ordered to watch their motions, when, at day light, it was discovered that two of the enemy were endeavoring (under the protection of their batteries) to escape to Calais; when lieut. Price, of his majesty's brig Archer, with his usual vigilance, pursued and captured them, although aided by several pieces of flying artillery, as well as heavy ordnance, mounted on all parts of that shore. One of the last mentioned vessels was commanded by commodore Nooy (a captain in the Dutch navy) chef de division .
"The Archer brig has also arrived in the Downs with her prizes."
MILAN, March 25.
A courier extraordinary arrived this morning from Paris, brought the important news of the Consulta of state, united in the Italian deputation in that capital, has proclaimed Napoleon Bonaparte king of Italy, and erected our country into an hereditary monarchy.
April 26.
Order of the 5th of April.
His majesty the emperor called to the throne of Italy by the wishes of the nation will soon arrive amongst us. The presence of his imperial and royal majesty, amidst his army of Italy, and his accession to the throne of Lombardy are events which recal glorious remembrances, and which exalt the sentiments of the love, respect and gratitude of all the soldiers of the army. Several of them have already manifested to the marshal commander in chief the wish of celebrating this double event. All desire to give testimonies of their respectful devotion to the august sovereign who forms the glory and happiness of the nation, and of the army. The marshal, the commander in chief, anxious to gratify the wish of the army, orders as follows:
ARTICLE I.
The arrival of his imperial and royal majesty, and his accession to the throne of Italy shall be celebrated by the erection of a monument, which shall transmit to posterity the victories of Napoleon the Great, & the devotion of the army for his august person.
II.
This monument shall be erected on the plain of Castiglione, at the expence of the army of Italy.
III.
The troops nearest the place where the monument is to be erected, shall furnish the necessary workmen.
IV.
The first stone of the monument shall be laid by the marshal the commander in chief, in presence of the general & superior officers, who shall be assembled for that
purpose. The chief of the grand Staff shall be charged with the execution of this order.
Signed,
JOURDAN.
The marshal of the empire, Commander in chief of the army of Italy.
BALTIMORE, June 13.
Arrived, brig Active, Bishop, 18 days from St. Bartholomews. Left there, 25th May, schooner Sally, of Norfolk, in 10 days; schooner Jolly Robin, for Turks Island, in 5 days; schooner Washington, for Philadelphia; Victory, ditto; Neptune, do. A brig belonging to Boston arrived there the 18th, from Marseilles, the captain of which reported, that he fell in with the Toulon fleet, of 19 sail of the line, 7 frigates and some brigs, in the night, off Gibraltar; and was in company 3 days, steering S. W. but was finally out-sailed by them.
Captain Bishop adds, that the day he arrived at St. Bartholomews, accounts were received from Martinique of the arrival of the French there: that an embargo had been laid on all vessels at Martinique and Guadalupe: that admiral La Fosse had sent orders to the different islands directing all masters of English vessels to consult their own safety, as he could afford them no protection against so large a naval force as had arrived. The 20th May was the day appointed for the sailing of the windward island fleet, to rendezvous with those from Surinam and Demerara at Tortola. It was expected at St. Bartholomews that a division of the French fleet would be sent to St. Kitts and Tortola, to take possession of the English vessels there.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
SATURDAY, JUNE 15.
Extract of a letter from captain Black, of the schooner Harriot, of this port, to his owner, dated
DOMINICA, May 22, 1804.
"The news of the French and Spanish combined fleets, having arrived at Fort Royal, Martinique, was received here on the 15th, by an express from the Governor of St. Lucia, they consist of 18 sail of the line, 5 frigates, some sloops of war and several sail of transports."
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in Lisbon, to another in Philadelphia, dated
LISBON, April 25, 1805.
Craving reference to what we had the honor to write you the 28th Feb. of which the foregoing is a copy, we now take the liberty to advise you, that we have since continued to receive some good supplies of grain and flour, mostly from the French ports, insomuch that our prices have become greatly repressed, and daily inclining; and as much is expected to drop in from the northern ports, and Indian corn from the Adriatic sea, independent of what may arrive from the American continent, we are of opinion that prices will not be supported higher, throughout the whole of the summer, than we have advised you in our aforesaid last respects, seeing the ensuing harvest is likely to be plentiful, as the season is at present very propitious for the grain crops, tho' much will depend upon the weather of the ensuing months. Our fish stores are clearing pretty fast, and we expect to be able to support pretty tolerable terms for the first arrivals of the summer fish, say about 5,000 to 5,600 per quintal, should not much drop in together: all for your government.
We have a good supply of staves and full just now, and prices are nominal. There has been and still is a great want of ship bread, as the bakers cannot supply the demand, and the price of this article is considerably higher than the proportionate price of wheat and flour, and inferior biscuit is selling at 8,800 per Portuguese quintal, equal to 45s. sterling at our present exchange; and whenever the demand is great for this article, the price is much beyond the proportion of flour. Good beef is selling at 10,800 to 11,400 per barrel; pork, 18,000 per tierce. There is no alteration in the price of wines, but the vineyards have a very promising appearance. Salt is very scarce, and the price keeps at 6,400 per moy.
The present current price of wheat, &c. in market; good hard wheat, 1,060 per alq. American soft do. 900. French do. 840. Indian corn, of the country growth, 640; do. from the United States, 540.
With regret we announce the loss of the schr. Patience, of Norfolk, Virg. Joseph B. Blunt master, which occurred on Sa-
turday the 25th ult. She sailed from Norfolk for Charleston, loaded with corn, &c. and was thirteen days out, when she encountered a most tremendous gale from the eastward: and although every possible exertion was made by the captain and seamen to keep her off shore, she was driven by the violence of the wind on the shoals at North Island, and immediately went to pieces. The crew with much difficulty preserved their lives; the vessel and cargo entirely lost.
Captain Campbell, of the schr. Victory, from New York, informs that another schooner was on shore about a league to the southward of the lighthouse, which, from her situation at the time she was observed, he is induced to believe will go to pieces. (Georgetown Gazette.)
The Journal de Paris, says a London paper, contains the following deplorable picture of the state of society in France and most strikingly illustrates the evils arising from the facility of divorce permitted by the first national assembly, which deserves all the censure which can be passed upon it, for the extravagance and wickedness of this one assembly may be justly accused of all the wars which have desolated Europe for the last 14 years:
"Marriages increase in proportion as divorces decrease, which may convince our speculative philosophers and metaphysicians, that their calculations concerning the happiness of civil society are as erroneous in this case as many others. Their maxims (unfortunately for France) converted into laws by the national convention, the most immoral, cruel, and ignorant, of all her national assemblies) of permitting full liberty for every one to divorce, even for a momentary disagreement of temper, have made more prostitutes and bastards in France, during the last ten years, than the depravity of the ten preceding centuries. Among the wretches perishing in our streets by want or disease, who offer their faded charms to Drunkards and libertines, of twelve, eight are devoured women; and of orphans begging by our doors, crowding our hospitals, prisons or scaffolds, ninety out of an hundred are children neglected, or by divorced parents, and therefore owe their misery & guilt to the former infamous laws of divorce."
Legislators.—A motion was made during the last session in the house of representatives of the United States, which one of the wise heads willed to have referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures, but not being much of an orator, or like Friend Sloane of New Jersey, not wishing to speak on a subject he did not understand, he wrote on a piece of paper, and handed it to a friend—"Refn to thy kump of Kumarfe and Maneyfakturs.—Something of the same stamp, will be recollected was the member of the last house of delegates of Virginia. A gentleman had made a motion which this learned lawgiver did not understand, and therefore requested to have it explained. This was very reasonable, and another member, equally wise, rose and observed, that "he begged leave in reply to the gentleman from — to state that the motion now before the house had been predicated—" "O, Sir, said this modern Solomon, I am perfectly satisfied I did not know, Sir, that the motion had been predicated; if I had known, Sir, that the motion had been predicated, I should not have said a word on the subject.—Here are two precious specimens of American Legislators! [Norfolk Ledger.]
PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
Any one who now reads the public prints of the two democratic factions in this state, cannot avoid being forcibly struck with the new situation in which they find themselves and the awkward appearance which they make in it. As democracy in its different shades and temperatures is now the object at which both parties are aiming their shafts, they have, for the first time, found the naked truth the most effectual weapon which they can wield, and have therefore adopted the use of it. The Aurora itself is now filled with correct delineations of political characters. It must be confessed, however, that though their representations have the merit of being true, they are not entitled to the praise of originality. Those who doubt upon this subject, may be satisfied by recurring to what was said six years ago, by the friends of a quiet orderly government, of the consequences of entrusting power in the hands of those who would wheedle and deceive the people, rendering them discontented, suspicious and disorderly, merely for the dishonest purpose of procuring to themselves a degree of influence and power to which they could not otherwise attain. When a people are once coaxed out of the orderly habits, and taught to hanker after changes and revolutions in their government, it is no easy matter to arrest their discontent at any given point. They believe that some farther change

should certainly put them in possession of a degree of felicity of which they have hitherto been cheated. It therefore becomes impossible for those who set the world in motion in order that it might bring them to the top to stop it again till it has brought them below their former situation. Amongst the things you may always expect to hear those, on whom all the blame rests, crying out against the overgrown influence of the progress of disorder. Universal experience, as well, as divine inspiration teach us, that who sows the wind will in due time reap the whirlwind; and I suspect some men who will now feel the force of these remarks perceive sufficiently strong indications of an approaching harvest. It is certainly the duty of every man to endeavour to avert, by all means in his power, the dreadful consequence of the present situation of our affairs: But when the crisis comes there will be a peculiar consolation to him who can say: "The blood of my country is not upon my head."
From a paper, established in Pennsylvania by Republicans vs. Genuine Republicans, vs. Moderate Democrats vs. Immoderate Democrats, alias Tertium Quid, vs. Disorganizers, with the title of "The Freeman's Journal," we extract the following sentence: "It has been observed, with no less truth than excellence of expression, by a leading man who witnessed all the tempests of our revolution, that 'we are in more danger now than we were then, and there is more occasion for a grand exertion to ward off the imminent disasters that now stare in our faces, than there was even then.' Now, be it remembered, that the above is the language of men who have been as violent Democrats as any who now figure on the Theatre of Jeffersonian politics, and that the same in substance has been repeatedly declared by the federalists, and that for such declaration they have met not a little abuse from men of the same stamp of those who now support "The Freeman's Journal."
COMMUNICATION. Being one of a number who lately purchased ornaments made of Derbyshire Spar, and not knowing precisely what kind of earth it was composed of, I referred to my copy of Willich's Domestic Encyclopedia for information, where I found some circumstances stated which it is my duty and yours also to communicate to the public, in order to guard the innocent from any unpleasant or fatal effects from the use of this pernicious earth. "SPAR, or heavy earth, a name given to a fossil, naturally combined with the sulphuric or carbonic acids, and found in different parts of England, particularly in Derbyshire and York counties. This mineral is manufactured into Vases, and other ornaments for chimney pieces. And for reasons given in Nicholson's Philosophical Journal, vol 1, page 537, Parents should not suffer children to use the picture frames, egg stands, and other trinkets, made of Derbyshire Spar, by way of play things."—Willich's London edit. p. 105, vol. 4. On referring to Nicholson's Journal, as directed by Willich, I find it there stated that "Spar or Barytes is a very active and violent Poison."
Extract from the Speech of gov. TRUMBULL, to the legislature of Connecticut, May Session. "When we reflect on the general prosperity and happiness, which for a long course of years, this state has experienced, resulting from the habitual good order so generally prevalent among our citizens, founded on their observance of the wise and wholesome civil regulations, as well as the religious and moral institutions which are inherited from our fathers, it would seem that, while our hearts are excited to lively gratitude and praise to the great author of all our mercies, we may also be encouraged in a confident hope, that so long as we cleave to the God of our fathers, honour his service, acknowledge his superintending providence, and practice his commands, we may still be favoured with his kind protection and wise direction. Let us therefore cultivate the duties of religion and virtue; let us cherish the pure practice of our ancient and venerable institutions; let us steadily adhere to our long tried and valuable civil regulations and in large of our peculiar duties as legislators and public administrators, let us encourage and recommend that spirit of
harmony, peace and unity, which will serve to tranquilize the passions, and soften the asperities of political opinions; so that, although conflicting sentiments may exist among us, we may not permit this circumstance to embitter our feelings, unhinge our social intercourse, or destroy our public or private happiness."
L I N E S On the Illness and Recovery of a Beautiful Young Lady. Yes, thro' the veil of pale disease, Those charms have still the pow'r to please, Charms, which the purest lillies shew, Or snow drops op'ning into blow; Charms, which the fairest form portrays, Or budding jessamine displays, Whose hecric blushes not in vain Reflected loveliness on pain!
Thus when hoar winter's frozen hand, Spreads o'er Helvetia's dreary land, Alps' tow'ring head with gloom invests, And swells with snow its mountain breasts, The sick'ning sun with languid ray Gleams thro' the misty cloud of day; But when from off the face of Heav'n, The freshening Northern breeze has driv'n Dank fogs, when noxious vapors rise, To taint the lustre of the skies! The golden orb refulgent breaks, With radiance new the mountain streaks: Where sparkling gems reflecting light, Unnumber'd dance upon the sight! While as returns the vernal gale, Waving fresh beauteous o'er the vale, Nature in livelier colours dress, Smiles o'er the earth supremely blest!
Of thee the winds enamour'd grew, And kiss'd the blossom as it blew, Then sipping off the dew of health, Strove to destroy its beauteous wealth; Thus rudely daring to invade, A form they vainly sought to fade; 'Twas then I saw thee as a flow'r, Which drooping still retains its pow'r!  When o'er her frame Hygeia's breath Its balm diffuss'd, the dart of death, Doubly envenom'd she defied, Tho' wounded still no beauty died; As glowing tints the morn disclose, So the new Helen blushing rose; Or flow'rs which shed increas'd perfume, When dew drops glisten on their bloom!
Welcome the blast Hygeia blew, Which brought returning charms to view; Ah! far more welcome, than the breeze, Which drives yon vessel o'er the seas, Or wafting thousands to the shore, Who never thought to reach it more!  Then oh! how well did she conceal, The plain less beauties would reveal; How well the contest she sustained, How great the victory obtain'd! While from the radiance of her eyes New lightnings flash new dangers rise; Beware, for oh! their potent charm, Where e're they glance they must disarm!  But when alas! life's spirits die, And souls to realms ethereal fly, From the unfathomable deep, And awful Death's sepulchral sleep; Thou too, on heavenly wings, from earth, Shall mount to renovated birth! And bloom again in youthful pride, Where angels live, who mortals died.

WHEREAS an act was passed by the Common Council, on the sixth day of April, 1805, entitled "An Act to amend an act of the Mayor and commonality, of the town of Alexandria, entitled "An Act for establishing, perpetuating and regulating the streets, and to prevent injuries to pumps."

having authority to require the same, or by any individual who may desire to have the street or alley adjoining his or her property regulated for the purpose of paving or building; and to measure, survey, and lay off the lots of individuals whenever required by the owner or owners; as a compensation for which he shall be entitled to demand and receive of such owner or owners two dollars for each lot. (And the said surveyor, as a compensation for his public services, shall be paid, out of any monies in the treasury, two dollars and fifty cents for each day or part of a day he shall be employed by the public, whose account shall be authenticated by the affidavit of the said surveyor.)
Sect. 2. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Common Council shall annually appoint a fit and proper person being a freeholder in the Southern District, to be the street commissioner for that district; and one other fit and proper person, being a freeholder in the Northern District, to be the street commissioner for that district; and one other fit and proper person, being a freeholder in either of the districts, to be denominated, the assistant street commissioner.
Sect. 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the duties of the street commissioners, for each district respectively, shall be to superintend the paving and keeping in order the streets, erecting and keeping in repair the lamps, in their respective districts; and to do and perform, in their respective districts, all the duties which a street commissioner is or may be bound by law to do and perform. And the duty of the assistant street commissioner shall be to determine between either of the street commissioners of the Southern and Northern Districts, and the Surveyor whenever any difference of opinion shall happen between them, about the regulation of any of the streets, where a consultation between them may be necessary. (And each of the said commissioners, shall receive out of the treasury, as a compensation for his services, such sum as shall by a resolve of Council, to be made in the month of February, in each year, which shall be commensurate with the time and services, rendered by such commissioners respectively.)
Passed in Common Council, the 7th day of June, 1805. HENRY ROSE, President. APPROVED, 14th May 1805. JONAH THOMPSON, Mayor.

This and was deeded to me, several years ago, by  Ferdinand Fairfax , Esquire—the title indisput- able, as may be seen by the title papers in my possession. Terms may be known and the land shewed to any person wishing to purchase, by the subscriber. I wish to Rent, for 5 or 6 years,
An ISLAND in the Potomac, About fifteen miles from George-town , Containing 216 acres; most of which is clear- ed: I am told, by those who have been in Ken-  tucky , that it is equal to any land in that state, producing from 10 to 12 barrels of corn per acre in a tolerable season.
