Negotiation with France.

(No. 43.)
Paris, March 14, 1803.
MY LORD,
The messenger Mason went on Saturday with my dispatches of that date, and until yesterday, Sunday, I saw no one likely to give me any further information such as I could depend upon, as to the effect which his majesty's message had produced on the first consul. At the court which was held at the Thuilleries on that day, he accosted me evidently under very considerable agitation. He began by asking me if I had any news from England. I told him that I had received letters from your lordship two days ago. He immediately said, and so you are determined to go to war? No! I replied, we are too sensible of the advantages of peace. Nous avons, said he, déjà fait la guerre pendant quinze ans. As he appeared to wait for an answer, I observed only, C'en est déjà trop. Mais, said he, vous voulez la faire encore quinze années, et vous m'y forcez. I told him, that was very far from his majesty's intentions. He then proceeded to Count Marcow and the Chevalier Azara, who were standing together at a little distance from me, and said to them, Les Anglois veulent la guerre, mais s'ils sont les premiers à tirer l'épée, je serai le dernier à la remettre. Ils ne respectent pas les Traites. Il faut déraciner les couvrir de crepe noir. He then went his round.
In a few minutes he came back to me, and resumed the conversation, in such it can be called, by something personally civil to me. He began again—Pourquoi des armemens? Contre qui des mesures de precaution? Je n'ai pas un seul vaisseau de ligne dans les ports de France; mais si vous voulez armer, d'armerai aussi; si vous voulez vous battre, je me battrai aussi. Vous pourrez peut être tuer la France, mais jamais l'intimider. On ne voudroit, said I, ni l'un ni l'autre. On voudroit vivre en bonne intelligence avec elle. Il faut donc respecter les traites, replied he; Malheur à ceux qui ne respectent pas les traites; ils en seront responsables à toute l'Europe. He was too much agitated to make it advisable for me to prolong the conversation; I, therefore, made no answer, and he retired to his apartment, repeating the last phrase.
It is to be remarked that all this passed loud enough to be overheard by two hundred people who were present, and I am persuaded that there was not a single person who did not feel the extreme impropriety of his conduct, and the total want of dignity as well of decency on the occasion.
I propose taking the first opportunity of speaking to M. Talleyrand on this subject.
I have the honor to be, &c.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the Commerce, Dyer, arrived at Philadelphia.
LONDON, May 25.
A mail arrived this day from Hamburg. Our correspondent in that city, in a letter of the 20th informs us, that it is currently reported there that in the event of a war the French will take possession of that city and of the whole of the Lower Elbe, a letter from a commercial house in Bedin, to one of the first houses in Hamburg, affirms, that the king of Prussia has promised a free passage through his states to the French army destined for that purpose.
May 28.
Our port Letters of this morning will be found particularly interesting. That from Portsmouth, states the arrival yesterday of the squadron under Sir Roger Curtis from the Cape of Good Hope, and of that squadron having taken yesterday at noon, a France East India ship estimated at one hundred thousand pounds value. The same letter brings an account of the capture of the Hazard sloop of war, which event Sir Roger Curtis learned from La Minerve at sea.
The proceedings last night in the house of Commons were particularly interesting and important. Mr. Fox made his promised motion for an address to his majesty,
to avail himself of the professed Mediation of Russia to settle the differences between this country and France; and in the course of the discussion which ensued, Lord Hawkesbury candidly stated the readiness of his majesty's ministers to explain their views to the court of St. Petersburg, and readily to accept the mediation of that power. But his Lordship repeated that he had mentioned before, that no direct or precise offer of mediation had been offered on the part of Russia; it was merely of the slightest species of assurance of mediation. It was however admitted, that meanwhile, the contest into which we have again been obliged to enter, should be prosecuted with vigour, until views of mediation shall have been realized; and in consequence of Lord Hawkesbury's candid statement, Mr. Fox withdrew his motion.
Private letters from the Hague, says—The French Army assembling near Nimeguen has for its ostensible destination the Electorate of Hanover, but it is a curious fact, that this army encamped upon the same ground, where in 1688, the then prince of Orange, afterwards, King William III. under pretence of interiering in the dispute then subsisting between Prince Clement of Bavaria and the Cardinal of Furstenberg, collected the army with which he in November in the same year invaded England. It is true, that the Prince of Orange, had a fleet of 50 sail of men of war to escort his transports; but it is equally true that the corsican disposer of their lives and the liberties of Frenchmen, cares less about the loss of whole armies, than the prince did for the safety of one single regiment.
Without any intent to alarm you, I have heard from good authority, that French emissaries have for some days been busy in taking an account of the numbers, the names and the tonnage of all vessels, even schuits, in our different harbours; and that they have in the same manner tried to procure the names and the number of our sailors, but in this they have been disappointed, as all our sailors are attached to the prince of Orange, and detest the French, and have therefore already begun to desert and to conceal themselves. Some official encouragement from England, at this period, might bring you over many of them.
"I repeat again that my intention is not to create alarm; but vigilance, vigour, activity, and unanimity, are absolutely necessary to counteract the designs of a man, who believes in no other Providence but fortune, and who hitherto, even in his most desperate enterprizes has never ceased to be its favorite. Remember, that if any one army should really attack Hanover there are already in this country, in Brabant and on the Rhine, upwards of 110,000 men, which are augmenting every day by fresh troops."
May 29.
The recent Overtures of France for the renewal of Peace, obviously result from the unprepared state of the government to engage in War; after two years of insult and aggression it were folly to doubt its hostility yet without foregoing the advantage of the moment our Ministers have determined not only to leave open the door to Negotiation but to promote, by all consistent facility, every intercourse which may tend to accommodation.
Reports founded on this fact, combined with some communications which the Spanish, Dutch, and Russian Ambassadors have recently made to our Government, yesterday occasioned a rise of more than three per cent. on our Funds—Consols for opening were in the morning at 59 3/4 being 3/4 above the prices at which they closed on Friday; they then rose to 61, from which they declined to 59 3/4, and left off at 60 1/4—This rise although ascribed to reports of peace, we believe to have been occasioned by speculations, as to the means to be adopted by the Minister for raising the supplies for the year, conceiving, as we do that there does not at the present moment exist the slightest probability of an immediate Peace.
We have seen letters from Hamburg, stating, that the Senate had made an application to the court of Berlin for its protection of property in that city, in the event of a French invasion. These letters add, that no answer had been returned. Bonaparte in one of his gusts of passion, declared his determination to exclude the British from all intercourse with the Continent, and, in order to do so, to occupy Hamburg, &c. Consistent with this plan, Portugal is to be seized, and annexed to the Spanish Monarchy
if she refuses to shut her ports against us; and Naples is to form another Italian Republic should she disobey the Consular Mandate for our excursion.—The recent march of a numerous French corps into Italy, is supposed to have been combined with this project, the avowal of which has induced the Emperor to strengthen his Cordon on the Venetian frontiers.
Accounts reached us yesterday from Jersey, of the 25th instant which state, that two French transports, full of troops, have been captured by our cruizers in La Baye D'Auge. Their destination is not mentioned.—These accounts add, that great bustle prevailed at St. Malo in fitting out privateers.
An expedition to Holland has been for some days talked of—but whatever may be the wishes of government on the subject, we question their present means for such an enterprize.
Bonaparte has intimated to the petty powers dependant on him, that France will not admit of their neutrality in the war; they must either be allies or foes. Holland, Portugal, Spain, Liguria, Cisalpinia, and Etruria, will be involved in a contest with a power which is nobly struggling for their liberties. We trust it is not possible that Russia, Austria and Prussia will submit to the exercise of a power, which would not only be unjust—but which, if suffered to prevail, must shortly prove fatal to the general independence of Europe.
Bonaparte has twice of late publicly spoken on the subject of his menaced invasion of this kingdom. England, and not Ireland, he has declared to be his object of attack, as success in the former would ensure the fall of the latter, while although victorious in the latter, the former might still resist and baffle his enterprize. He talks of sending his army hither in row boats during a calm, when our ships cannot act, a measure for which England is better situated than Ireland. That the Chief Consul is sufficiently enthusiastic to entertain such a project, is very credible; that he will be beaten, should he attempt it, is very certain. Our fleet, active, enterprizing, and vigilant, ensures us protection from the insult of invasion; but should it by an accident reach our shores, can any man be so lost to the proud and generous feelings of a Briton, or so ignorant of our internal power, as to dread the issue?
The regency of Algiers is stated to have demanded 180,000 dollars from our court, as an equivalent for eighteen slaves who made their escape from Oran in an English vessel. The Spanish cabinet has paid all arrears due to the Dey, and has further made a present of 50,000 dollars; these sums were immediately applied to equipment of three fresh cruizers. The Dey threatens the Americans with war, for not sending their tribute in stores, as he required, instead of specie.
Many captures have been made by our cruizers, &c. during the week, amongst the most important are, a rich ship from Surinam, by Lord Nelson; a valuable merchant-man, by Sir Sidney Smith; another Surinam ship by the Diamond; and a French East Indiaman by the Pigmy.
The port of Brest is so closely blockaded, that no vessel can enter it. On Tuesday 5 brigs making for the harbor were captured, when three of them proved to be laden with naval stores. Eighteen sail of the line are ordered to be prepared at Brest for service. One of the Deal pilots has been seized at Calais, and five men, her crew, sent to prison.
On Friday arrived at Portsmouth the Diomede, Admiral Sir R. Curtis, Jupiter, Braave, and Hindostan, from the Cape of Good Hope, together with the Suffolk and Favorite, laden with stores from the same place. This squadron had the good fortune to capture the Re-Union, a homeward bound French East Indiaman, burthen 800 tons, and valued at 100,000. Several more might have been taken had they sooner known of the commencement of hostilities.
A French brig, called Le Vigilant from Port au Prince, has been captured and sent into Falmouth, by the Resolution. She is laden with sugar and coffee, being the whole produce of the island; and had been 55 days on her passage. The capt. reports, that just before he sailed, the French ship La Virginie, capt. Le Noir, arrived there from Havre, having on board several ladies as passengers, when she was boarded by the Blacks, who murdered the captain and crew, and sent the women into the country, and after every thing had been taken from the vessel, it was burnt.
The French ships of war were waiting for instructions from France at the time the Vigilant failed, about 12 sail were lying at Port au Prince. The island was very healthy; the Blacks were supposed to be about 80,000 strong, and scarcely a night passed without the commission of some outrage.
A report has been circulated of the capture of the Duke of Kent, on his way from Gibraltar.
The Hamburgh mail has brought intelligence of the adjustment of the differences between Russia and Sweden, by a convention.
The dispatches sent off to the Hague on Saturday, contained definitive orders to our ambassador to demand an explicit declaration of the intentions of the Batavian government.
Numerous arrests are said to have taken place at Paris, within these few days; several emigrants have been sent to the Temple.
NEW-YORK, July 23.
By capt. Hanifen, who arrived here yesterday morning from Leghorn, we learn that three or four days before he sailed, the frigate Adams arrived there in company with two other ships from Philadelphia and Salem—the Adams was quarantined. All the British ships, about 30 sail, hauled out in the Roads under cover of the Active frigate. The French troops took possession of the city two weeks before capt. H. came away, and a French frigate had arrived at the island of Elba with ammunition and provisions.
Capt. Tyler, of the schr. Union, who arrived at Charleston on the 12th July in 10 days from St. Thomas, reports, that a British lugger from Tortola was cruising off the harbour for the purpose of pressing British seamen on board neutral vessels; and that a New York brig from one of the windward islands, bound to St. Croix, had three of her hands and the second mate pressed and was compelled to enter St. Thomas for a fresh supply of men. The news of war had a very sensible effect on the price of provisions and produce in St. Thomas—every article immediately rose 25 per cent and flour which a few days previous was selling at 8 dolls. rose to 14. A Danish ship from St. Thomas had been captured by a British privateer, and sent into Tortola, upon suspicion of her having Dutch property on board.
Arrived, ship Charles, Moies, Liverpool; brigs Echo, Webb, Charleston; Clio, Hannifen, Barcelona; schrs Virginia, Edwards, Baltimore; John, Nichols, Savannah; sloops, Jenny, Jameson, Richmond; Jackall, Smith, Richmond; Nancy, Van Wagement, Suffolk, Virginia.

POLITICAL SKETCHES.
No. V.
THE political current, in England, that had long run with violence toward liberty, having at last swept away every opposing mound, an unchecked, uncontrolled democracy was established on the ruins of the throne. All power was lodged in the house of commons, who were the immediate representatives of the people. There was no royal veto to arrest their patriotic exertions; there were no Lords temporal or spiritual to inhibit or controul their measures. The baubles of aristocracy, stars garters, mities, lie scattered beneath their feet.
The English made the experiment of a democratic republic, under singular advantages; by their insular situation, they were disjoined from the rest of the world; the luxury and debauchery of modern days had not infected them: they were a plain sober people, no wise corrupted generally in their morals and habits. An enthusiastic love of liberty was rooted in their breasts, and interwoven with every fibre of their hearts; in her sacred cause they had manifested a noble contempt of dangers and of death:—nor were they unilluminated with the rays of science.—A long struggle between prerogatives and privileges had familiarised their minds to political disquisitions. The treasures of Grecian and Roman learning had been unlocked and explored; and were resorted to with avidity. Science then in Europe, much more than in this country now, was the road to fame. It was the age of Milton and Butler, two English poets admirable for their vastly extensive erudition as well as for genius, and who have been crowned with immortal bays; it was the age of Selden, a prodigy of learning—of the immortal Harvey, who discovered the circulation of the blood—of Hyde, who, till Hume, was the ablest among English historians;—and of many others of distinguished genius and science, who altogether formed such a bright constellation of literary characters as can seldom be found in the annals of English literature. Hume, speaking of the English at the commencement of the commonwealth, remarks, "Never was there a people less corrupted by vice, and more actuated by principle. Never were there individuals who possessed more public spirit, more capacity, more disinterested zeal." The leaders of the commonwealth, who composed the parliament, had as much capacity and political experience—perhaps, in a general view, nearly as much integrity and patriotism as any body of legislators either before or since. Nothing could
bend their fortitude: nothing was insuperable to their industry.
The commonwealth commencing under such favourable circumstances, seemed to promise a long duration to the existence of the equal rights of the people: yet it proved to be an ill jointed fabric—a system of confusion and horrible tyranny; and the people, the sport of faction and intrigue, equally flattered and befooled, "depressed by the memory of past misfortunes, by the prospect of future disasters," were glad, in a very short time, to exchange the iron yoke of their own representatives for that of a military despot, the daring Cromwell.
When there is a consolidation of the legislative, executive and judicial powers, this mighty engine is even more terrible in the hands of many , than it is in the hands of an individual; because the infamy of iniquitous measures being divided among numbers, the individual share that attaches to each, seems thereby to be so diminished that he can easily surmount all sense of shame; and besides, the greater the numbers concerned jointly in the abuse of power, the more secure are they, from responsibility, and with the more facility each one may parry any imputations against himself, and fix them upon others. A popular assembly holding the reins of government with powers unlimited and uncontrolled, must be better than commonly frail men, if they should refrain, for a long time, from playing into one another's hands, and from swindling and cheating the public, with all the cunning and dexterity of gamblers. Some might stand aloof at first;—a few might preserve their integrity throughout: but the illusions of a selfish spirit would not fail to blind, and the profits of the game to allure and engage a very respectable majority. Instances there have been not a few of men, who, as politicians, and who kept in countenance by a multitude of accomplices and coadjutors, have unblushingly concurred in knavish projects and measures relating to the public, such as they would have disdained to have been guilty of in their private concerns.
The commonwealth parliament did not merely grasp in the utmost extent, those dangerous powers and prerogatives the claims and attempted exercise whereof, by Charles was the occasion of his precipitation from a slippery throne to the bloody scaffold; but they also assumed and exercised other powers and prerogatives entirely new. They shackled the press, and repressed all free enquiry; they exercised the star-chamber authority of licencing books; and imposed heavy fines and other penalties on the authors and vendors of such publications as censured their own measures. Vast sums of public money they divided among themselves. A violent noisy zeal was made the principal qualification for advancement to office: consequently public offices, in most instances, were filled with artful knaves who watched for opportunities to prey upon the public. The sequestered estates of the king, the nobility and the royalists, which were nearly one half of the lands and rents of the kingdom, were embezzled, and went to enrich unprincipled individuals of the prevailing party. Party spirit befriended even the venerable seat of judgment. The judges were dependent;—they were the creatures and tools of parliament; and their verdicts and decisions were so warped and shaped as to accord with the will of their masters. Hence the very fountain of justice was so poisoned that the political characters of the parties, in a judicial trial, had more weight with the bench than the merits of their respective causes. Parliament committees were vested with unlimited judicial and executive powers; and they imposed heavy fines, committed people to prison, and inflicted corporal punishment, without any remedy, according to their pleasure, or as caprice, prejudice or revenge happened to dictate. Party names were craftily used as means of fixing odium on the fairest characters, and were made an engine of judicial oppression. The predominant party called themselves the well affected ; and they gave to their opponents the opprobrious name of malignants . And such was the venom as well as blindness of party prejudice, that merely the name malignant was enough to blast the fairest fame, and to damn the best cause.
This odious name, to answer political purposes, was often bestowed on those who least deserved it—on republicans as well as royalists. In vain did suspected persons bar the door of their lips and passively submit to all the measures of their
republican rulers: the parliament gave their committees inquisitorial powers to examine into heart malignancy ; and however innocent or laudable were their overt acts, if they were judged to be heart malignants their doom was inevitable.
Thus the people who aforetime had been chastised with whips , were now chastised with scorpions . In exchange for the oppressions of royalty they were preyed upon by swarms of cunning sharps and hungry speculators; most of whom had emerged from obscurity—and some from the lowest condition of life.
It is a fact very little honorable to human nature, that there never was in England a government more hateful and more hated than that of the first parliament of the commonwealth: a parliament that had affected to trample down all tyranny, and to spread abroad the blessings of equal liberty: a parliament too, in which there was a number of members of inflexible integrity, who in vain opposed their voices and exertions to the nefarious projects and measures of the majority.

United States of America, Fifth Circuit, Virginia District, May Term, 1803. Under a Decree of the said Court, we the Commissioners will expose to public sale, for ready money, on the premises, at 12 o'clock on Friday the 19th day of August next, That valuable and extensive FARM,
called Mount Salus, alias Millthorpe, lying in Fairfax county, on Difficult and Wolfe Trap runs; containing by deed 550 acres, and by survey 673 acres. The mansion house is on a high, healthy and agreeable situation, convenient to which are springs of good water. The house is 40 by 18 feet, two rooms on a floor, with a nine feet passage and stair case, 2 brick chimneys, with a fire place to each room, a piazza the whole length of the front, a cellar 40 by 18, walled with stone and divided into two apartments. There are several small buildings, near the mansion house and garden. There are, also, a valuable merchant and grist mill, saw mill, distillery, miller's house and overseer's house. The mill house is 40 by 30, two story high, half the lower story of stone, the other part of wood, and covered with shingles. There are one pair of Burr and one pair of Cologne stones, three bolting cloths almost new, one screen, all now in use in manufacturing wheat and grinding grist. The still house 40 by 30, one story high, walls of stone and shingled roof, the floors planked, the upper laid for mashing grain, and troughs fixed round the whole house constructed to carry water to every vessel which may need it. Three stills and one boiler can be worked to advantage in the said house. The waters of Wolfe Trap, on which the mill and saw mill stand, are constant streams. The situation for country customers, or purchasing wheat, is exceeded by none in the county or neighbourhood, not being more than 17 miles from Alexandria or George Town, where there are excellent markets for country produce of every description, and about 19 miles from Washington. The land is fertile and productive, and the soil well adapted to receive improvement from the use of plaster of Paris. There are upwards of 1000 panels of fence on the land, and about 160 or 170 acres of well timbered land belonging to the tract. There have been nearly 20 acres of timothy made, lying on Wolf Trap and Difficult runs; 50 acres more may be made at a small expence. This farm enjoys many natural advantages, which are unnecessary for us to mention, it being taken for granted that every person wishing to buy such property will avail themselves of an opportunity of viewing the premises, previous to the day of sale, capt. James Wiley, residing near the land, will shew the premises, and also a plat of the survey, which is left with him for the information of those concerned.
The title papers will be exhibited on the day of sale.

CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
MR. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be 31X or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants. Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to an appearance a mucus but upon close inspection quit repelled with very small living animals. No tone of that sort of worms which usually afflict children, came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.

They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
