FURTHER EXTRACTS
From London Papers received at the Office of the True American, by the British Packet, arrived at N. York, from Falmouth. LONDON, May 18.
The present inclemency and unseasonable weather, perhaps unparalleled for many years. On Friday and Saturday morning the ice 6 or 7 miles from town was half an inch thick, the cold continued with little or no intermission till Sunday afternoon, when a warm gleam of sunshine broke out, this was succeeded by thunder, and that again by a shower of sleet or more properly of snow. Yesterday morning was frosty even beyond those of Friday and Saturday, and the cold continues unusually severe. The effect of such weather upon veterinarians is easier imagined than described, and will not improbably furnish in those not previously induced ample work for the sons of Galen. The only instances of such late colds, and even those lasted only a few hours were in the year 1710, when a shower of snow fell in some parts of the north of England, particularly Boroughbridge in Yorkshire, and in the year 1780 when a hoar frost took place on the 17th of June. These phenomena lasted not long enough to do material harm, but our late colds must have done incredible damage to the fruit, since even the leaves of hardy trees are dropping off.
May 21.
Our readers will remember that some time ago we mentioned the discovery made by an American in France, of a Plunging Boat; which could be so constructed as to remain a good while under water, and that it could even be made useful as a collateral object of blowing up ships of war. We did not pay much attention to the thing at the time, but it seems that Lord Stanhope has ascertained the possibility of reducing the invention to practice, and that the vessel could be made to remain seven hours under water; & that 15 pounds of powder, fastened on the keel of a 74, would blow her up. This certainly would render blockades of ports extremely dangerous.
May 23.
FIRE AT WOOLWICH WARREN. On Thursday morning, about 4 o'clock, the soldier on guard discovered a fire that had broke out at the depository at Woolwich Warren. The alarm bells were rung, and the drums beat to arms, when every effort was immediately used to stop its progress. The greatest precautions were taken to preserve that steady and cool attention which is the source of every hope and excellence on such a momentous occasion. As soon as the drums had beat to arms, the gates of Warren were shut, to the exclusion of the townspeople, who in their officious zeal, might have produced that confusion which was the wish of the military power to prevent. Towards five o'clock, the fire raged with uncommon fury threatening the destruction of all the adjoining buildings. When it spread nearer and nearer to the Laboratory, the consequence of such an explosion was truly alarming, that at one time, to prevent a greater evil, it was in contemplation to batter it down with cannon. The wind, however, very fortunately confined the devastation to the Depository; for, had it blown from another quarter, the most intelligent men are of opinion, that not only the Laboratory and the Warren, but nearly the whole town of Woolwich, would have been reduced to ruins. After two hours laudable exertion on the part of the soldiers, firemen, and some inhabitants of the town, who were afterwards admitted, the fury of the flames began to abate, and the fire was gradually mastered in such a manner as to dispel every alarm for its further progress. The first and chief care was to remove the bombs and mortars from the imminent danger in which they were situated. Besides the fears for the Laboratory, in another building adjoining were about six thousand gun-carriages, and vast quantities of ammunition, in store-houses and workshops. With the exception of three mortars which made a terrible explosion indeed, all the articles of a dangerous nature were removed. The damages according to the best accounts which could be collected were infinitely more than might have been expected from the time of the duration of the fire, the whole of the curiosities, from the confusion natural to such a scene, became the victims of the implacable flames.
They consisted of arms of a rare kind, Tippo Saib's gun, India wall Pieces, a variety of cannon, rockets, &c. In short, almost every article used in the military art, together with every specimen of warlike weapons; and what was the most remarkable curiosity of all, the model of Gibraltar. Report estimates the loss at upwards of 150,000.
The injury done to the beautiful model of the Rock of Gibraltar is not so great as was at first represented, it having sustained but a slight damage, which can be easily repaired, and the whole restored to its original state.
May 31.
The Dutch Government is preparing 9000 troops to send to the West-Indies.
The new expedition fitting out at Brest to reinforce Le Clerc at St. Domingo, is preparing on the most extensive scale. The number of troops will exceed 20,000. The whole armament was expected to sail by the 15th of June. Is the whole or any part of this force primarily or ultimately destined to Louisiana.
June 1.
Prince William of Gloucester is to stay a short time at Copenhagen, on his way to Petersburg. Apartments have been prepared for his Royal Highness at the Prince of Hesse's. It is premature to state the object of his Royal Highness' journey, which depends wholly on his own inclination after he arrives at Petersburg. There are two very beautiful young women, sisters of the present Emperor, unmarried, and with whom there will be a large dower.
June 4.
The acts of the government for an appeal to the people to appoint Bonaparte for life, was rather curiously juggled thro' in the council of state. When Cambacérès opposed it, he said those who are for it should hold up their hands. Six immediately did it, namely, Roederer, Portalis, Bourcroy, Gen. Marmont, Bruix, & Regneaud de St. Jean d'Angely, all the others appeared to be struck dumb with amazement; they hesitated, and they said it was unconstitutional, and if the Senate chooses they could be even accused for it. Cambacérès then said, "that those who are of the contrary opinion, should hold up their hands." Thus was this illegal act carried, not by a majority, but by a minority!
M. Peuchet is believed to be the person chiefly consulted by Bonaparte with respect to the commercial arrangement now upon the tapis between Great Britain and France.
July 5.
The scarcity of bread continues to be felt in France, and the expected arrival of flour from America is mentioned. The arrivals spoken of from England, and indeed any commerce in grain between this country and France, we understand, is entirely confined to that which, having been imported from foreign parts, may again be exported. When the comparative price in France, however, affords the strongest temptation to export, it is possible that some English grain may be carried away under this description.
A letter from Rotterdam, of the 2d of June; says, that the price of grain is excessively high in that country, owing to the vast supplies sent to France.
The French funds seem to be rather on the decline. The Moniteur no longer calls the Tiers Consolidé by that name, but the Five per Cents . They are 55fr. 60 ct. the price which our Irish Five per Cents bore after the rebellion.
While the French Government is re-establishing the slave trade, the British is considering of imposing additional restrictions upon it.
PARIS, May 24.
A writing has been circulated at the Palace Royal, in which a general, whose name is but little known, of the Gauls. Only two members of the Tribune Carat and Deches have refused their signature. The first consul is said not to be much satisfied with the speech in which Chabot announced the acquiescence of the Tribune, and congratulated him upon it. In this speech the orator, retraced all the great exploits of Bonaparte, and concluded with this praise. It is only Bonaparte, of whom it can be said, he has not lived too long for his glory. It appeared to the first consul a kind of lesson to his future conduct. Turning to those who accompanied him, he said, truly an excellent sermon.
A Report is circulated in Paris of a conspiracy, the object of which it is
said was the assassination of Bonaparte at the last parade. A soldier was to have delivered him a petition at the moment when the light cavalry were performing a certain evolution which was to be the signal for one of the conspirators firing a pistol at the First Consul. It is pretended that Bonaparte was informed of the design; that he took the petition, and at the same time made a motion with his hands to the light cavalry not to stir. The signal having thus failed, the assassin had no opportunity of executing his intention. It is added that Fournier was charged to fire the pistol; but that the accomplices fearing his indiscretion, would not allow him to come to Paris till just the moment when the assassination was to have taken place. All their precautions could not however prevent his arrival twenty-four hours before the time agreed upon, and it was within such period that hurried away by an emotion of passion against Bonaparte, he betrayed himself and suffered some words to escape him, which were reported to the first consul, and thus the plot of the conspirators was defeated. It is certain that several generals and officers have endeavored to excite the soldiers to revolt. It is said that within these few days a great number of the officers of the 19th regiments of Dragoons, who were sent from Paris, have returned there without orders. It appears that the First Consul meditates the augmentation of his guard? and are assured that it will be composed of the 6th regiment of Dragoons commanded by his brother, Lucien Bonaparte; and the 9th regiment, commanded by Sebastiani, his relation, and a Corsican as well as himself.
"The institution of the Legion of honor has not produced, at least for the present, the effect the government expected from it. It is not conceived to be very honorable, and certainly it will not be of much utility."
"A person named M. de la Riviere, was arrested some months since upon a charge of having conspired with Georges, to deliver the port of Brest to the English. A naval court martial was summoned to try him and he was acquitted; but Bonaparte, irritated at the sentence, has sent orders to Brest to have him confined in prison. Seven members of the court martial have also been arrested and conducted to Paris. They have been some time detained at the Temple in close confinement at Chobani."

LATEST FROM LONDON.
By the ship Ann , Coit, from Hull, we have received London papers eighteen days later than by any former arrival. There being nothing very important in them, we shall give their contents in a summary way.
COMMERCIAL.
A merchant in this city having received a Liverpool Price Current to the 12th of June, via Portland, has favored us with a loan of it. It appears that brown sugar was 27s to 30, good 38, fine 40, white 64; coffee, ordinary 74s, middling 92, good 102, fine 108; Cotton, Bourbon, 2s 9d to 3s, Surinam 2s 2d, New Orleans 1s 1d, Georgia 1s 1d, Sea Island 2s, fine 2s 7d.

Flour, average price from the 1st of June 56s 10d, but it was rather on the decline.
In Germany there was a prospect of an abundant harvest, and corn began to fall in price. Polish wheat sold at Dantzic, May 21, for 380 to 450, and red 490 to 540, and rye 330 to 380 florins. Peas are also lower; but these two last articles were expected to rise. France being in want, and the price in Holland having risen. Great quantities have been bought for France.
The Batavian Council of State have ordered the confiscation of all East India Goods imported into Holland by persons not authorised by the law which establishes the right of the Dutch East India Company.
The Dutch have also renewed the law prohibiting the importation of foreign Tea, and have rescinded all the prohibitions on English goods.
The Batavian republic have permitted the importation of English goods into their ports, on their paying the same duty as before the war.
The Gazette contains an order of Council, for continuing the permission for the importation of provisions duty free, into Great Britain, till the 1st of June, 1802.
It is mentioned on good authority, that the French have prohibited the importation and exportation of Tobacco, to and from Antwerp, under a penalty of seizure.
A London paper of the 17th says— "The official letters from Gen. Le Clerc at St. Domingo, contain some expressions, relative to the Americans, much harsher than we could expect to see published in France. When the complaints of Americans for the seizures of their cargoes are mentioned, it is added, that they should not "speak of the past;" and it is then directly stated, that "the agents of the American government were about Toussaint, and did not suggest to him good intentions."
POLITICAL.
At the close of the lists of Paris, on the question whether Bonaparte should be elected consul for life, no more than 18,000 names were inserted, and amongst them, three citizens had the courage to write a legible non —one very cautious hero, wrote between two columns, "In good truth, I do not know any thing about it, yes and no."
The reports of the conspiracy against Bonaparte, of the death of Berthier, and of the disaffection and enmity among the French generals, are officially contradicted.
Monsieur Conyngham Monturet, deputed by the First consul to negotiate a commercial treaty with England, has had his first interview with Lord Hawkesbury, the result of which, it was said, had proved highly satisfactory.
The Moniteur announces the appointment of general Anderson ambassador to England, and M. Otto, Minister to the United States.
A rumour prevailed, that Mr. Pitt and Mr. Dundas would soon be transferred to the Upper House. The matrimonial plan of the former, we assigned as the reason of his approaching dignity.
The Batavian Legislature have already resolved upon a deviation from the

new Constitution, as far as it respects the gradual change of representatives.
A register was to be opened at Hamburg for the reception of votes for Bonaparte as Consul for life.
The Batavian Legislative Body have rejected a proposition of the council of State, allowing a general amnesty to those who had quitted the territories of the republic in consequence of the revolution of 1795.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Bonaparte, accompanied by general Andreossi, and officers of the consular guard, was preparing a visit to the Hague, and after he had a conference with the notables of Belgium, &c. and visited Antwerp, was to continue his journey by Leige, Aix-la-Chapelle, and Cologne, to Mentz.

An earthquake, which was felt in several parts of Italy, swallowed up one whole village, so that not one inhabitant, nor any vestige of it remains.
A letter from Constantinople of May 10, states the plague raged with great violence; that the English troops had been obliged to withdraw from Alexandria and Rosetta. The plague has likewise made its appearance at Constantinople and at Smyrna. Mr. Stratton, the English ambassador, has invited the Porte to accede to the Treaty of Amiens and this accession is expected soon to take place. New disturbances have broken out in Romania.
At the city of Lorca, in Spain, a reservoir, of several leagues in length, suddenly burst, and inundated a space of 20 leagues, as also a part of the city, 500 houses were destroyed, and 1000 lives lost.

Wednesday failed his Majesty's frigate Tamer, capt. Western, for England.—Capt. Western this war has taken about 40 ships and vessels of war, belonging to the French and Spaniards, besides a number of valuable merchantmen, and had only two appeal cases—honest Danes, which he found out to the Dutch.
By Capt. Western we have certain accounts that Guadalupe is restored to tranquillity, after many hundreds of the black rebels being hanged, guillotined and shot. Several hundreds of the others were put on board the ships of war in irons, and sent to France, from whence they are to be shipped to the Mauritius and the Isle of France.
At Dominique the trials were continuing on the mutineers of the 8th W. India regiment and many hanged, those least guilty are to be sent to Halifax, and from thence to the East Indies.
The other eleven black West India regiments are to be sent to the East Indies in a short time, where no doubt they will be more useful than they are at present.
Tobago is already given up to the French troops, and general Lacroix, (who commanded Guadalupe) has the government of it. St. Lucia is also given up, and Gen. Lepanto has that Government.
Martinique is to be given up on the 25th of this month the poor loyalists are flying from thence to all the English Islands for protection,

THURSDAY, AUGUST 12.
PROVERBS.
SOLOMON, who severely censures flattery, and says, that a flattering mouth watcheth ruin , as strongly recommends reproof, and declares that open rebuke is better than secret love—the rebuking of a brother or a neighbor freely for his faults, is better than loving him without the like expressions of kindness.
The Jewish law enjoined, that whoever met an Ox or an Ass going astray should conduct him home to the owner, and will not christen charity much more prompt us to reclaim a man, a fellow creature from the error of his ways, and save him from being swallowed up in the vortex of ambition; for Solomon says, that he that sayeth to the wicked "thou art righteous," him shall the people curse; nations shall abhor him: But to them that rebuke him shall be delight.
As reproof is in itself a disagreeable thing to most persons, so it must be allowed to be a very difficult and nice province to reprove judiciously; but for our encouragement, let us remember, that we cannot perform any work more charitable to men or acceptable to God. In reproving men you must adapt it to their dispositions, as on many, friendly advice will have no effect; but by whatever method you arrive at the desirable point, it is meritorious and praiseworthy, inasmuch as you thereby contribute to the comfort of society.
With some characters no hints or oblique advances have the desired effect, therefore it is necessary by a spirited representation to point out the impropriety of their conduct, and then allow them time to reflect, and it is very probable (unless they are callous or determined to attempt to arrive at the summit of their ambitious wishes) it will have the desired effect; but if they be so hardened as not to listen to salutary admonitions, then they deserve that execration which awaits them, and every virtuous man should shun them as he would a serpent.
Receipt to make a Modern Beau.
Take any thing—put it into a pair of pantaloon just large enough to contain one dozen; put a binding on the top of the pantaloon (called a vest) and attach to the bosom of the shirt, an oval glass case with a wig in it; pare away the skirts of its coat to the width of a bat-band. If the subject is doomed to pass its time in the house, it will require a heavy pair of round-toed jack-boots, with a tassal before and behind. "Lift it up by the cape of the coat;" pull its hair over its face, lay a hat on its forehead, and spectacles on its nose. N. B. Its hands must, on no occasion, be suffered to escape from the pantaloon pockets, nor the spectacles from the nose.
