MILAN, June 7.
UNION OF GENOA WITH FRANCE.
On the 4th of June at mid-day the emperor received the Dodge, and the deputation of the senate and people of Genoa, introduced by M. De Logue, and presented by his serene highness Prince Eugene; his serene highness the Dodge addressed the emperor. In the course of his speech he said
"Deign Sire, to hear the wish of people which has been attached to France in times of the greatest difficulty. Reunite to your empire the Liguria, the first theatre of your victories, and the first step to that throne on which you are seated for the safety of all civilized societies. Deign to grant us the happiness of being your subjects. Your majesty cannot have more devoted or more faithful."
His majesty replied to the discourse of the Dodge in these terms:
Mr. Dodge and gentleman deputies of the senate and people of Genoa.
Circumstances and your desires, have several times called me within the last ten years to interfere in your internal affairs. I have always brought with me peace and sought to promote those liberal ideas which alone could give your government that splendor which it had many ages since; but I soon convinced myself of the impossibility of your being able to perform any thing worthy of your ancestors. Everything has changed. The new principles of maritime legislation which the English have adopted, and obliged the great part of Europe to recognize; the right of blockade which they can extend to places not blockaded, and even to entire coasts and rivers, which is nothing else than the right of annihilating at pleasure, the commerce of nations; the continually increasing ravages of the Barbary states; all these circumstances presented to you but dissolution in your independence. Posterity will be grateful to me for having exerted myself to render the seas free, and obliged the Barbary corsairs not to make war on weak naval powers, but to live among themselves as cultivators and honest men. I was animated only by a sense of the interest and dignity of man. At the treaty of Amiens England refused to co-operate in these liberal ideas. Since that a great power of the continent has shown quite as much disinclination to them. Alone, these legitimate principles, it would have been necessary to have had recourse to arms: but I have not the right to shed the blood of my people, except to interests that are peculiar to them. From the moment that Europe could not obtain from England that the right of blockade should be restrained to places really blockaded; from the moment the flag of the weak was without protection, and delivered to the fury of the corsairs, there has been no maritime independence; for a commercial people there arises a necessity for uniting itself to a more powerful flag. I will realize your wish, I will unite you to my great people. It will be to me, a new means for rendering more efficacious the protection I have always loved to grant you. My people will receive you with pleasure. They know that in all circumstances you have assisted their arms with friendship, and have supported them with all your means and all your strength: They find besides with your ports an increase of maritime power, which is necessary to them to sustain its lawful rights against the oppressor of the seas. You will find in your union with my people a continent. You have only ports and a marine. You will find a flag which, whatever may be the pretensions of my enemies, I will maintain on all the seas of the universe, constantly free from insult and from search, and exempt from the right of blockade, which I will never recognize, but for the places really blockaded as well by sea as by land. You will find yourselves sheltered under it from this shameful slavery the existence of which I reluctantly suffer with respect to weak nations, but from which I will always guarantee my subjects. Your people will find in the esteem I have always had for them, that in the perpetual sentiments I shall entertain for it henceforth the guarantee that every thing which can contribute to its happiness shall be done. Mr. Dodge and gentlemen deputies of the senate and people of Genoa, return to your country. I will repair thither in a little time, and there I will seal the union in which my people and you will engage. These barriers which separate you from the continent, shall be removed by the common interest,
and things will be placed in their natural state. The signatures of all your citizens placed at the bottom of the wish which you present to me, answer all the objections I can suggest: they constitute the only right I can acknowledge as legitimate. In making it respected I will only cause to be executed the guarantees of your independence which I promise to you."
The terms in which the state of the Ligurian republic decreed the union of that republic with the French Empire, are in substance as follows:
"That the Ligurian state, without any partition, shall form in its whole a district of France; that the public debt shall be liquidated on the same principles as the French debt; the port of Genoa shall continue a free port, with all the stores attached to it; and the laws regarding the military conscription shall not be applicable to the United Province, except to seamen."
LONDON, June 24.
His majesty's ship Loire, at anchor, Muros Road, Spain, June 4, 1805.
SIR,
Being informed that there was a French privateer, of 26 guns, lying out at Muros, and nearly ready for sea, it struck me, from my recollection of the bay (having been there when lieutenant of the Kingfisher) as being practicable either to bring her out, or destroy her with the ship I have the honor to command. I accordingly prepared yesterday evening for engaging at anchor, and appointed Mr. Yeo, first lieutenant, with lieutenants Mallocks and Douglass, of the marines, and Mr. Clinch, master's mate, to head the boarders and marines, amounting, officers included, to 50 men (being all that could be spared from anchoring the ship and working the guns) in landing and storming the fort, though I had no idea its strength was so great as it has proved. At 9 this morning, on the sea-breeze setting in, I stood for the bay in the ship, the men previously prepared being in the boats ready to shove off. On hauling close round the point of the road, a small battery of two guns opened a fire on the ship; a few shot were returned, but perceiving it would annoy us considerably, from its situation, I desired Mr. Yeo to push on shore and spike the guns, reminding the men of its being the anniversary of their sovereign's birth, and that for his sake, as well as their own credit, their utmost exertions must be used. Though such an injunction was unnecessary, it had a great effect in animating and raising the spirits of the people. As the ship drew in, and more fully opened the bay, I perceived a very long corvette of twenty-six ports, apparently nearly ready for sea, and a large brig of twenty guns in a state of fitting, but neither of them firing, led me to conclude they had not their guns on board, and left no other object to occupy my attention but a heavy fort, which, at this moment, opened to our view, within less than a quarter of a mile, and began a wonderful well directed fire, almost every shot taking place in the hull. Perceiving that by standing further on, more guns would be brought to bear upon us, without our being enabled to near the fort so much as I wished, I ordered the helm to be put down, and when, from the way she had, we had gained an advantageous position, anchored with a spring, and commenced firing. Although we have but little doubt that, before long, we should have silenced the fort, yet from the specimens they gave us, and being completely embarrassed, it must have cost us many lives, and great injury to the ship, had not Mr. Yeo's gallantry and great conduct soon put an end to their fire. I must now revert to him and the party under his command; having landed under the small battery under the point, it was instantly abandoned but hardly had he time to spike the guns, when at the distance of a quarter of a mile he perceived a regular fort, ditched, and with a gate which the enemy (fortunately never suspecting our landing) had neglected to secure, open a fire upon the ship: without waiting for orders he pushed forward, and was opposed at the inner gate by the governor, with such troops as were in the town, and the crews of the French privateers. From the testimony of the prisoners as well as our own men, it appears that Mr. Yeo was the first that entered the fort, with one blow laid the governor dead at his feet, and broke his own sabre in two; the other officers were dispatched by such officers and men of ours as were most advanced, and the narrowness of the gate would permit, to push forward; the remainder instantly fled to the further end of the fort, where from the ship we could perceive many of them leap from the embrasures upon the rocks (a height of about 25 feet) such as laid down their arms received quarter.
For a more particular account of the proceedings of Mr. Yeo and his party, I beg leave to refer you to his letter enclosed herewith, and have to request you will be pleased to recommend him to the notice of the Lords Commissioners of the admiralty, being a very old officer, and in the two last instances has displayed as much gallantry as ever fell to the lot of any man; he speaks in the strongest language of the officers and men under his command on shore, and I did it but justice to attribute our success wholly to their exertions for although the fire from the ship was admirably directed, the enemy were so completely covered by their embrasures, as to render grape almost ineffectual. The instant the union was displayed at the fort I sent and took possession of the enemy's vessels in the road, consisting of the Confidence French ship privateer, pierced for twenty six twelves and nines, none of which however were on board; the Belter, a French brig, pierced for twenty 18 pound carronades; and a Spanish merchant brig in ballast. I then hoisted a flag of truce, and sent to inform the inhabitants of the town, that if they would deliver such stores of the ship as were on shore there would be no further molestation; the proposal was thankfully agreed to. I did not, however, think it advisable to allow the people to remain long enough to embark the guns, there being a large body of troops in the vicinity.
A great many small vessels are in the Bay and hauled up on the beach, none of them having cargoes of any value, I conceive it an act of inhumanity to deprive the poorer inhabitants of the means of gaining their livelihood, and shall not molest them. On inspecting the brig, as she had only the lower rigging over head, and was not in a state of forwardness, I found it impracticable to bring her away, and therefore set fire to her. She is now burnt to the water's edge.
I cannot conclude my letter without giving the portion of credit that is their due, to the officers and men on board the ship. They conducted themselves with the greatest steadiness and coolness; and although under a heavy fire, pointed their guns with the utmost precision, there being hardly a shot that did not take effect. To Lieutenants Laws and Bertram I feel much indebted, as well to Mr. Shea, the Purser, (who volunteered his services, and to whom I gave the charge of the quarter deck carronades in Mr. Yeo's absence) for the precision and coolness displayed by the men under their command in pointing the guns, as well as the exact attention paid to my orders, and ceasing fire the instant the union jack made its appearance on the walls, by which in all probability, the lives of several of our men were saved. Mr. Cleverly, the master, brought the broadside to bear with much quickness and nicety, by means of the spring. I send you herewith a list of our wounded on board, and on shore, with one of the enemy's killed and wounded; and an account of their force at the commencement of the action.
I have been under the necessity of being more detailed than I could wish, but it is out of my power, in a smaller compass, to do justice to the exertions and conduct of the officers and men employed on the different services. It is but fair at the same time to state that much to the credit of the ship's company, the Bishop and one of the principal inhabitants of the town came off to express their gratitude for the orderly behaviour of the people (there not being an instance of pillage,) and to make offer of every refreshment the place affords. I am now waiting for the land breeze to carry us out, having already recalled the officers and men from the Fort, the guns being spiked and thrown over the parapet, the carriages rendered unserviceable, and the embrasures, with part of the Fort, blown up.
I have the honor to be, Sir, Your devoted Servant, FRED. MAITLAND. Rear-Admiral Drury, &c. &c. Cove.
BARBADOES, July 23.
Private letters by the last packet mention with confidence, an extensive change in the ministry; it is said that the whole of the Addington (Sidmouth) party goes out, and that Mr. Pitt's old colleagues, the Grenvilles, succeed; earl Spencer is at the head of the admiralty, and the marquis of Buckingham to be president of the board of control. We cannot but view Mr. Pitt's administration, which the Addington influence has too long palsied, but which we may now soon hope to find again acting with its wonted vigor and decision.
NEW YORK, August 14.
By captain Sterling from Amsterdam we have received several files of Dutch papers to the 23th of June, but they afford very little intelligence of an interesting nature. Captain S. informs us that eight sail of the line, and about 100 transports full of troops, were lying in the Roads; and that a British squadron was off the Texel, which suffered American vessels to pass without molestation.
It was the opinion of well informed men in Amsterdam that the terms offered by France would be acceded to by the English ministry, and that a general pacification was an event not very remote.
From Dutch papers to June 26th.
LOWER ELBE, June 11.
It has been reported at Hamburg and other places, that the Swedish army assembling at Schoonen, and to consist of 10,000 men, was to be conveyed to England; this report is however flatly contradicted in letters from Copenhagen, and northern places.
A great scarcity of grain at present prevails in Bohemia.
Supplies are sending thither from the Prussian countries.
The celebrated Ismael Bassa of Jena d'Acre, who had converted to his own use the treasures of Djezzard Bassa, arrived at Constantinople on the 27th of April, and after a summary trial, was beheaded. On the 28th in the morning, his head was exhibited on a silver dish on one of the outer gates of the Seraglio.
The Grand Seignior has destined a squadron for the Mediterranean this summer, perfectly equipped, armed and manned; a division of which, consisting of 4 ships of the line, 3 frigates, 4 corvettes and other small vessels, lately sailed for the Ionian Sea.
SCHIEDAM, June 18.
It seems a report has been circulated that Hanover would be evacuated by the French troops, and occupied by those of another power; this, however, is contradicted in a letter from Berlin; as well as the assertion, that Sweden had ceded Pomerania to the Emperor of Russia.
June 21.
Their High Mightinesses, representing the Batavian Republic assembled on the 18th: and on the 19th, they still continued their deliberations.
Several companies of French and Batavian troops have marched this week for the Camp near Zeist, from Amsterdam, Leyden and Delft.
Letters from Constantinople mention, that two grand Councils of the Ministers of the Porte have been lately held on the subject of a triple alliance between England, the Porte, and another power. It is said by some that this treaty is already signed; and by others, that the Turkish Ministry continued to manifest no considerable portion of irresolution.
LISBON, May 15.
The Court Gazette of to day contains the following article:
"At this moment, there is an American at Gibraltar, who cherishes the base purpose of introducing into and selling in the Portuguese states, the furniture and other property of persons who have died of the yellow fever."
He has fitted out a ship, in order to freight it with articles of this kind which he had collected.
The public are cautioned to be on their guard against this enemy to humanity. (Moniteur.)

August 1, in lat. 24. 20. long. 68. 20, was fired at and brought too by a French privateer, then in sight, and ordered on board with my papers; she was the Hebe, formerly of Hamburg, from New York, out 40 days, bound to the Havana. The privateer had also in company brig William, captain Johnson, of New York from St. Croix, bound home with coffee, taken on suspicion of coming from St. Domingo. The supercargo and mate were on board the bark, but I was not allowed to speak to them. This information was obtained by one of my men from the mate of the William, while the Frenchmen were overhauling my papers; they afterwards sent a boat with 2 men on board the Schooner, and overhauled trunks, chests, and lockers, but finding every thing right politely dismissed us after 2 or 3 hours detention, keeping a
letter from Captain Low, to Mr. Philip Rogers of Baltimore. While on board the bark the privateer was in chase of two sail one of which was standing towards the bark, supposed she was captured. The privateer was about forty tons, had a four pounder and 20 men 9 of which were on board the brig and bark.
Arrived brig Sally, Law, 29 days from Trinidad.
Abstract from the brig Sally's Log book.
The following vessels were left at the port of Spain, (Trinidad,) the 18th of July, 1805.
Ship Volunteer of Philadelphia; ship Alert, of Boston, captain Meret 21 days from Boston, touched at Barbadoes on the 13th and 14th July, and arrived at Trinidad on the 7th; brig Friendship of Alexandria, captain Brook, to sail in two days; brig Sampson of —, taking in her cargo; brig Benjamin, of New Haven do.; several other brigs, names unknown; schr. Ethan Allen, of Baltimore, captain Bryden to sail in 5 or 6 days.
Schooner Parnel, Ford, of New Haven, from Baltimore; sloop Dispatch of Boston, arrived 6th July; sloop Farmer's Daughter of Great Egg Harbor, captain's name not known. The Sally sailed from Trinidad on the 8th July in company with the ship Alert. About ten miles from the port of Spain spoke sloop Stork, of Boston, captain Adridge 35 days out, had been taken by 2 Spanish privateers, and detained 3 or 4 days.
On the 30th July, the Sally was boarded by the French privateer Resource, captain Jannet. When the captain went on board they took our people out, and sent a prize master and 7 or 8 men on board, and began to plunder every thing they could lay their hands on. After having rummaged the cabin, and taken every thing they wanted, they ordered Mr. Burn, a passenger, on board the privateer, with his trunks and baggage; they had then taken from him upwards of six hundred ounces of gold coin; some jewelry to the amount of 751. sterling with several other articles. He was then made to write and sign a paper, dictated to him by the captain of the privateer, the purport of which was, that Mr. Burn acknowledged himself a British subject, and that he freely abandoned to privateer Resource, the whole of his property, except 400 dollars, and his clothes, which the captain was to return him. Mr. Burn was then returned 60 pieces of his money, which might weigh about 20 ounces, and his clothes, and was sent again on board the Sally.
Nine men that had been captured on board of different vessels, by the same privateer, were likewise sent on board of us; with them were sent about 20 lbs. meat, 100 lbs. bread, and a sixty gallon cask of water, and we were allowed to proceed on our voyage after a detention of nine hours.
They took one keg of brown sugar and half a loaf of sugar, most of our fowls, one pig, and most of our porter, wine, and rum; they took our pendant, all our needles, twine and fish hooks, and half a bolt of canvas, and broke open the captain's trunk and took some tea out, besides some other articles. Some of them went down the fore-castle and broke open the people's chests, and took from them every thing they fancied, but part of their things was returned by order of the captain of the privateer; an old burgee was given us in the room of our pendant.
The following vessels were taken by the privateer.
A Schooner belonging to New York, but retaken by the British.
The sloop George, of Norfolk, captain Reynolds, cut out of Turks Island, where he had put in with the loss of his rudder.
The Hamburg barque Hebe, captain Hartcup, from New York, bound to the Havana, captured about ten days before.
The brig William of New Haven, capt. B. Thompson, from St. Croix bound to New York. The two last mentioned vessels were along with the privateer.

Debuts, of and for Alexandria, 20 days from Martinique, who very obligingly supplied us with what provisions he could spare.

SATURDAY, August 17.
A HINT TO EDITORS.
In a late Eastern Paper, we are told by "A REPUBLICAN," that "he, who will disclose the cause of the present scarcity of money, and will point out a remedy, will deserve well of his country." We join in the opinion, and sincerely hope, that the subject of finance may occasionally take place of less important matter, in all our periodical papers.
CIVIS.
By the Schooner Stranger, 11 days from Antigua, we have received papers of that place to the 30th July, from which we copy the following article:
"This forenoon arrived at English Harbour, his Majesty's Schooner L'Eclair, the commander of which had seen a gentleman from Martinique, who informed, that a French frigate had arrived from France, 22 days passage, who brought the intelligence that Lord Gardner had fallen in with the French, consisting of 23 sail of the line, had taken six, sunk three, and the rest got into Brest in a very disabled state; also the day after a French corvette had arrived with the duplicates of the despatches; spoke also an American who confirmed the above information!" - Norf. pap.
We learn by Captain Lockwood that the port of Laguira was opened on the 28th of May to neutrals for the introduction of flour, oil and butter. It was shut on the 14th of June, and on the 18th was re-opened during twenty days for the admission of the above articles. On the 6th of July it was again closed, and it was said it would
remain so during the war. The vessels in port on the 14th of June were permitted to unload and dispose of their cargoes, of whatever articles they might consist. Those which entered on the 16th, or between that and the 6th July, were confined strictly to the disposal of the articles above mentioned. Many of these vessels have been waiting for three or four weeks in expectation of obtaining permission to discharge generally, but without success. It is probable they will eventually be obliged to seek another market, their cargoes consisting principally of dry goods. (New-York-Paper.)
FOR SALE.
Five hundred acres of LAND, in the County of Alexandria, and five and a half miles from Alexandria and two from Georgetown, one moiety in Wood and part of that heavily timbered. It abounds in excellent water, and hath an extensive view of the neighborhood - from its proximity to the City, Georgetown and Alexandria, with the additional convenience of an abundance of wood, few farms within the District claim a pre-eminence. Upon the First Monday in October, I shall attend on the premises for the purpose of disposing of it, if not sold previous to that time. Should it be more accommodating to those (who wish a country residence during the sickly months,) I will divide it into ten and twenty acre LOTS. Any person wishing to view the Land, by an application to WILLIAM SNELLUM, who lives on it may be gratified. My remoteness and the frequent depredations on the Wood and Timber, are the principal inducements to sell it, nor more than one-fifth of the purchase money will be required, and a credit from two to three years will be given for the residue, security by a mortgage, and a forfeiture of the advanced monies, with interest on the sum unpaid, if not punctually and fully discharged.

The following Valuable Medicines: Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters. PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow Jaundice, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Colic, Colic, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.

Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment. A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle.—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste. For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth.
