Latest Foreign Intelligence. From London papers received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser, by ship Brothers, Hull, Liverpool. LONDON, August 19.
We have received Paris Journals of the 15th inst. On the preceding day, Sunday last, called the day of the Assumption of the Virgin, a solemn Te Deum was chanted in the church of Notre Dame of Paris, and in all those of the diocese, to return thanks for the Senatus Consulta, of the 12th and 13th of the month. The same day, a solemn service for returning thanks was performed in the temple of the protestants at Paris, the St. Thomas du Louvre, in consequence of the Proclamation of the Senatus Consultum, for organizing the constitution. These journals present little else respecting France itself; but some of the articles from other countries are interesting. It appears by the accounts from Switzerland, that the petty Cantons, instead of acquiescence and submission to the new order of things, a formal insurrection is organizing there against the central government, and it is very uncertain whether it will be possible to make them receive the new constitution. The instigator of these commotions is the late Landamman Reding. It appears that he has been long labouring on the execution of his vast plan of a counter revolution, and for this purpose he has taken advantage of the absence of the French troops. He began by calling an assembly of his confidential friends at Gerfau. In this meeting, which took place on the 24th of last month, it was resolved to convoke, on the 17th of Aug. the general assembly of the people of the three petty Cantons; to oblige all the public functionaries to resign their places; to induce the old magistrates of 1798 to resume their functions; to form a confederation between the three cantons; and to collect all the men capable of bearing arms. At Schwitz, Reding assured the inhabitants that Bonaparte, whom he chose to denote by the following words, the man who makes Europe tremble, had given him his word that the canton might constitute itself as it pleased. The re-establishment of the ancient order of things was proposed. Reding was then appointed Landamman, and all the ancient authorities were restored. In many places the pastoral letter of the bishop of Constance, which declared that there was nothing in the new constitution contrary to religion, was torn from the church doors on which it was pasted.
The full powers of the extraordinary deputation of the empire have been printed and published at Ratisbon. The following is a copy of them.
General full powers of the Empire, for the deputation charged with the discussion of the points which remain to be regulated for completing the peace.
"The Electors, Princes and States of the Holy Roman Empire, having judged it proper to exercise, by an extraordinary deputation, the right which belongs to them of concurring in the discussion of the objects which still remain to be settled for completing the peace; and having for this purpose elected and nominated in the college of electors, Mentz, Bohemia, Saxony, and Brandenburg; and in that of Princes, Bavaria, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Wurtemberg and Hesse Cassel; the said deputed States are fully authorized by these presents in the name of the Germanic Body, & with the consent of his Imperial Majesty, in his quality of Supreme Chief of the Empire, to send, as soon as possible, their sub-delegates to the imperial city of Ratisbon, which has been considered as the most convenient place to examine, discuss, and regulate, with the Imperial Minister Plenipotentiary, in concert with the French government, and paying attention to the Conclusion of October 2d, of last year, ratified by his Imperial Majesty, the points reserved by the 5th and 7th articles of the treaty of Luneville, by a particular convention; in consequence of what shall be discussed, concluded and signed by the said deputies, either by all, or in case of absence, sickness or non-appearance of any of them, by the rest, with the Imperial Minister, must, within a determinate time, be ratified, agreed to, and inviolably observed by the whole empire."
The Court of Berlin has lately sent to Paris two elegant Snuff Boxes, with the Portrait of his Majesty the King of Prussia, destined for the Minister Talleyrand, and General Bourmontville; each snuff Box is valued at 6000 dollars.
The Moniteur contains letters from General Richepanse at Guadalupe, announcing that he has sent home to France a number of persons of color whom he thought dangerous to the peace of the island. He is resolved to put arms into the hands of none but Europeans. He considers any other system as mischievous.

In the Virginia Gazette, some days since, we observed a publication wherein it was said that Mr. Jefferson was not the "draftsman of the declaration of American Independence;" but that "it was drawn by a committee of five members, of which he was one, and that he as chairman of the committee, reported it to the house, when the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the subject of it, in the course of which most essential alterations in language, &c. were made." In reply to the above, after abusing Gen. Hamilton, Mr. Duane says, "Now we take upon us to assert that the original draft of the Declaration of Independence was made by Thomas Jefferson alone, and that tho' there were alterations made in the original draft, yet that the spirit and language remain unaltered; and that, if
the alterations made are to be fairly judged, they made the draft worse by the alterations; and not better. We shall wait for notice of this contradiction in the Virginia Gazette to say more on this subject." [In answer to Mr. Duane's contradiction it is only necessary for me to say, that I believe the first part of it to be true, as an original copy of the Declaration of American Independence now before me, in Mr. Jefferson's own hand writing , as reported to Congress, bears strong marks of its being his production. But his assertion "that tho' some alterations were made in it, yet that the spirit and language remain unaltered, and that those alterations made it worse, instead of better," I hesitate not to aver is incorrect. The one adopted differs essentially both in spirit and language from the one reported; and I believe Mr. Duane himself will be constrained to admit that the alterations did not make it much worse . I shall, in a few days, lay the original before my readers, when they will be enabled to judge for themselves. I have been promised, by the same gentleman who politely favored me with the instrument above alluded to, copies of a number of letters from Mr. Jefferson and other conspicuous characters of different politics, which I shall publish occasionally, as they are received, & which will present to view a glaring inconsistency of character in some of the leading democrats, and at the same time be an honorable testimony of the foresight and consistency of eminent persecuted federal characters.]
(CIRCULAR) Algiers, June 30, 1802.
SIR, On the morning of the 24th inst, arrived at Algiers, a Tripolitan corsair, having in her possession the American brig Franklin, Capt. Morris, of Philadelphia, who failed from Marseilles the 8th inst. and was captured the 15th adjacent to Carthagena. Another American brig which was with the Franklin got off. I used every possible means with the Dey and Ministry in order to ransom captain Morris, crew, brig and cargo from the Tripolitan, but all proved ineffectual; and on the evening of the 28th inst. the Tripolitan with the brig Franklin, capt. Morris, and crew, (nine persons.) proceeded to the eastward, I suppose for Tunis. The second Tripolitan corsair arrived here on the evening of the 27th, with the master and crew (six persons) of a Swedish brig, captured and abandoned on the coast of Spain. The corsair, as they say, was chased twice into Carthagena by an American schooner cruiser. I lament we have not a few more of frigates and light cruisers in this sea, to be a fleet of reserve, and give more effectual security to our commerce and citizens, and to destroy this new system of the corsairs of Tripoli, rendezvous in the ports of Tunis and Algiers. I am, sir, respectfully, your most obedient. (Signed) RICHARD O'BRIEN. Wm. Kirkpatrick, Esq. U. S. Consul at Malaga.
On Friday the 17th ult. the circuit court of the United States for the district of Connecticut, composed of judges Washington and Law, was opened in this town. Judge Washington gave an excellent charge to the grand jury. After calling the docket the court adjourned to the next day. At the opening of the court on Saturday, the defendants in two actions which were continued from the April term pleaded in subsistence, that the cases were instituted before the circuit court of the second circuit of the United States, holden at New Haven in April last, for the district of Connecticut, composed of the honorable Egbert Benson, Oliver Wolcott, and Samuel Hitchcock, who in pursuance of a law of Congress passed in February 1801, had been appointed judges of that court, and whose commissions, having never been vacated, were now in force, and that the actions were now depending before the court composed of the said Benson, Wolcott and Hitchcock; and therefore the defendants prayed the said judges Washington and Law to take no further cognizance of the actions. In consequence of this objection to the legal authority, and existence of the court, all the business of the court was continued. The pleas of the jurisdiction were not argued, but by agreement of the parties were continued to the next term. It is understood that similar questions will be raised, and
probably decided, in the other districts, during the present circuit. Nothing is interesting to the people of the U. States has occurred since the existence of the Government. If brought before the court, the question must be determined whether, one distinct, independent branch of our constitution has not been madly sacrificed at the shrine of democracy. The effect of this decision either way, involves considerations of the highest moment to the future concerns of the country. [Hartford paper.]
Late from the Mediterranean. Capt. Lovell, who arrived at Beverly on Saturday evening last, has very politely informed us, That he left Gibraltar on the 7th of August, at which time were there, the frigates Adams and Chesapeake, and the schooner Enterprize. That the American consul had returned to Morocco—and that the frigates were waiting to hear from him, to know if the Moors were determined to declare war against the United States. The officers of the American frigates informed captain Lovell that there were no vessels fitting out at Morocco. (Salem Register)
Extract of a letter of Messrs. Isaac Thurbt and Co. in Antwerp, dated 29th July, 1802.
"The French Government has just repealed the law which prohibited the entry of Tobacco, on account of the several manufactures we have in this neighbourhood. "The Virginia, Carolina, and Georgia, is from 20l. to 30l. or from 8 to 10 dolls. per 100, short price, the Maryland from 22l. to 40l. or from 8. 80 cents, to 12 dollars."
Private letters from Spain, mention, that Mr. Pinkney has succeeded in obtaining the appointment of Commissioners to settle the claims which our citizens have for spoliations. We do not understand that those committed in South America are included.
From the Trenton "True American." The attack upon Col. BURR, in several late pamphlets and papers, has excited much sensibility in the public mind, as well on account of the high station he has long occupied in the estimation of the Friends to Liberty, and his zealous and uniform exertions in their cause, as from the important office he now holds by their suffrages in the Government of the United States. In New Jersey, this sensation is peculiarly strong, from his having been born and educated here; and from the high veneration universally entertained for the memories of his Grandfather and Father, successive Presidents of Princeton College. The following Letters cannot; therefore, but be extremely interesting to our readers, and the public generally.—They were submitted to us for publication. We give them without a comment: confident that they will make a due impression on the public mind.
LETTER from Gov. BLOOMFIELD to COL. BURR. Trenton September 17, 1802.
DEAR SIR, It cannot have escaped your knowledge, that two pamphlets entitled, " The Narrative " and " The Vizio " published in your City, have engaged much of the public attention.
What regards the suppression of Wood's " History of the Administration of John Adams ," has become of no moment since the book itself has been published; for it seems to be universally agreed that the book, so far as any effect could be produced by it, was calculated to do more injury than benefit to the Republican cause.—But the bold allegations which purport that you combined with the federal party to defeat the election of Mr. JEFFERSON, occasion some solicitude among those to whom you are unknown.
Those, indeed, who have witnessed your various and uniform exertions in the cause of liberty, and the firmness and independence of your conduct on every occasion, are not to be shaken in their confidence or esteem by anonymous calumnies; but they can only express their own opinions, and repeat the declarations which they are informed you have made.—this leaves room for our common enemies to cavil.—If some one were authorised from you to make these declarations, it would I think remove the apprehensions which are entertained by some honest men, warm in the cause of freedom, jealous of their rights,
and watchful of those who have the honor of being their servants.
Our intimacy in our youth and in the army, is generally known in this state.—My address to the People of Burlington, in September 1800, wherein I stated your services in the field and in the cabinet, and recommended you for Vice-President, is not forgotten; and these circumstances have occasioned more enquiries of me respecting the calumnies against you, than would otherwise have been made.
I have no other apology to offer for this intrusion, than to assure you that it proceeds from motives founded in patriotism, and in that cordial friendship which has ever subsisted between us.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew the assurances of my respect and esteem; and that I am,
Most truly, your friend, JOSEPH BLOOMFIELD. The Honorable ARON BURR Vice-President of the U. States.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT'S ANSWER. N. York, 21st. Sept. 1802.
DEAR SIR, You are at liberty to declare from me, that all those charges and insinuations which aver or intimate that I advised or countenanced the opposition made to Mr. JEFFERSON pending the late election and balloting for President; that I proposed or agreed to any terms with the Federal party, or with any individual of either party; that I assented to be held up in opposition to him or attempted to withdraw from him the vote or support of any man, whether in or out of Congress, that ALL SUCH ASSERTIONS ARE FALSE AND GROUNDLESS.
I have not thought that calumny, unsupported by proof, or the authority of a name, could so far receive attention from the public as to require an answer, or even a denial: Yet if you shall imagine that any declaration from me can be necessary to remove doubt from the mind of honest men, you may consider this letter as submitted to your discretion, to publish it you shall think proper.
Accept, I pray you, my thanks for your friendly solicitude, and assurances of the high respect and consideration with which I am,
Your obedient servant, A. BURR. His Excellency Gov. BLOOMFIELD
VARIOLOE CANINOE.
Our last accounts from Worcester, inform that the "FARMER" has this disease to an alarming degree. He was inoculated at Washington by the great philosopher of Monticello with matter received from Terra del Fuego , and immediately returned to Worcester to go through the progress of the disorder, as it was thought that place would be more favorable to its operations than Washington. However, from some unskillful management, the fever has got to such an height as to baffle all "oppugnation." The "FARMER" is now "INFURIATE," agonizing under "throes and convulsions" equal to any ever endured in "the ancient world."
Ten Dollars Reward.
RUN AWAY from the Subscriber, during the last harvest, a Negro Man named ABRAHAM. He is a Cooper by trade, between forty and forty five Years of age, five feet seven or eight inches high, his teeth very much decayed, greatly addicted to drunkenness, and when so extremely talkative.—A scar on the back of his right hand, occasioned by a cut received from the cooper's howel, when at work, makes him remarkable.—As he has been seen at work in Alexandria, about the wharves and cooper's shops, it is expected he may be easily taken. The above Reward will be given to any person for apprehending the said Negro, and securing him in the nearest jail, so that I get him again, or Twenty Dollars if delivered to me in this town.

TRACTS OF LAND, viz.
A tract in Loudoun county on Difficult Run, containing 300 acres. The soil well adapted for farming and a considerable proportion of it might easily be improved into meadow. There is a valuable mill-seat on the premises. It lies on the great road from the City of Washington, Alexandria and George Town to Leesburgh and Winchester, nineteen miles from Alexandria, less from the City and George Town and not more than three from the Great Falls of Potomac.
One tract containing 2,481 acres lying in the counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, called Ashby's Bent. The soil is that which is said to be most favorable to Plaster of Paris, well watered by several never failing streams issuing from the mountain—part of this land is cleared and tenanted for lives.
One tract lying part in each of the above counties, containing 885 acres. Chatten's run passes through this tract and gives several valuable mill-seats. The soil is similar to the above tract and equally favorable to Plaster of Paris.
A tract on the South Fork of Bullskin, containing 1600 acres—One also, Head of Evans's Mill, containing 453 acres, and one on Wormley's line, containing 183 acres. These several tracts are in Jefferson (late Berkeley county)—the soil very similar in quality, and particularly adapted to the culture of Tobacco, Hemp, Wheat and Indian Corn, situated twelve miles from Harper's Ferry.
One tract containing 571 acres in Frederick county, this land is in the vicinity of the last mentioned tracts and equally valuable.
One tract in Hampshire county containing 240 acres—this tract, tho' small is extremely valuable. It lies on Potomac river, about 12 miles above the town of Bath (or Warm Springs) and is in the shape of a horse-shoe, the river running almost round it; two hundred acres of it are rich low grounds, with a great abundance of the largest Walnut and other trees, which with the produce of the soil, might (by means of the improved navigation of the Potomac) be brought to a shipping port with more ease and at a smaller expense, than that which is transported only 30 miles by land.
One third part of 1119 acres in Nansemond county near Suffolk, lying on the road from Suffolk to Norfolk and on Nansemond river—this land is considered extremely valuable by those who are acquainted with it.
One tract in Charles county, Maryland, containing 600 acres—it is very level and lies near the river Potomac.
One tract in Montgomery county, Maryland, containing 519 acres—This land lies about 30 miles above the City of Washington, not far from Kettoc-tan and is good farming land.
One tract in Pennsylvania, containing 34 acres—This land affords an exceeding good stand on Braddock's road from Fort Cumberland to Pittsburg, and a large quantity of natural meadow fit for the scythe. It is distinguished by the appellation of the Great Meadows, where the first action with the French, in the year 1754, was fought.
One other tract on the Mohawk river, State of New-York, containing 1000 acres.
In North West Territory. Three tracts lying on Little Miami, containing 3051 acres.

APROPOSAL
BY SAMUEL BISHOP, For publishing by Subscription, LETTERS
ON THE Elementary Principles OF EDUCATION.
By Elizabeth Hamilton,
Author of the "Memoirs of Modern Philosophers," &c.
ON this interesting and highly important branch of science, several valuable works have, within a few years, been presented to the public, among which the above, as it is the most recent, is it is pre-eminently useful. Led by her subject into an inquiry concerning the nature of the active powers, and intellectual faculties of the human mind, Mrs. Hamilton has developed those powers and faculties with a perspicuity and ability which, while it arrests the attention of those who have most successfully studied the subjects, must render a competent knowledge of them familiar to the most ordinary capacity. The superficialness and frivolity of character engendered by the modern system of education, have been long, and justly, a subject of complaint; but the particular causes by which these serious evils have been produced, were hitherto but imperfectly known, or little attended to: To trace these evils to their source, and to point out the proper remedy, is the ultimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this Author have been directed; and in these efforts she has, it is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which those inquiries have been pursued, that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the present publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers of families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and youth, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable.
The rapid sale of two impressions of this work in England, sufficiently evinces the high estimation in which it is there held: An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition—is now offered to the patronage of the American public; by whom its merits will, doubtless, be justly appreciated.
[An Extract from the above Work.]
"From most of the writers on education it would appear, that it is only to people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of any importance. By such alone can the systems that are generally proposed, be adopted. To such, therefore, must we believe them to be exclusively addressed. To make fine ladies and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which has for its object the inculcation of the passions, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race."
* The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, sterling, in boards.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Work shall be comprised in two Duodecimo volumes, of about 450 pages each, & shall be printed in the best manner, on a fine Paper, and new Type.
II. The price will be one Dollar per volume in boards, payable on delivery.
* * A very considerable number of Copies being already subscribed for, the work shall be put to Press, and finished without delay.
Subscriptions received by the Publisher.
