Foreign News Continued, FROM LONDON PAPERS
Received at the Office of the Norfolk Ledger.
LONDON, Nov. 28.
A ministerial paper says.
To have prevented the Russian fleet from entering the Tagus by blockading that river was impossible; to have sent a squadron in the Tagus would have made it necessary for the prince at once to declare himself, and would have endangered the persons of all British subjects in Portugal, which have, under the measures pursued been entirely preserved. This which was one great object of any interference, has completely been accomplished. The other object, that of preventing France from making use of the fleets and arsenals of Portugal, is as easy to accomplish now as it was two months ago. The same circumstance perhaps, which made a blockade impossible makes an attack easy.
The only circumstances which led some to entertain doubt respecting the authenticity of the Spanish proclamation was, that it was not drawn up in the way that Spanish edicts and proclamations are. They always begin with the words "Don Carlos Quarto," &c. and end with "Yo el Rey," the proclamation which we laid before our readers on Wednesday, began with "Charles R." which is not the custom in Spain. But though there certainly is this variance in point of form, the substance of the proclamation we have little doubt will be found to be correct.
However the business in Spain may terminate the rapidity of Junot's march must be impeded, and we hope the navy and the prince of Portugal may be rescued during the interruption. Such is the state of absolute tyranny under which so large a portion of Europe is held, that the atrocious acts which are now committing in Spain, will scarcely be heard of on the Continent, till the tyrant who is the author of them is gone "to his account." The king's proclamation is dated the 30th of last month, and not the slightest mention is made of it in the Paris journals of a fortnight subsequent, no tongue dared give it utterance.
A rumour prevailed yesterday evening of Talleyrand and Berthier having arrived at Madrid. If that be the fact a revolution and a total change in the Spanish government will take place immediately. Bonaparte would not send such master workmen as his crafty minister for foreign affairs and his favorite general, for any other object short of organizing a new form of government. The late plot is now believed to have had for its object the taking off the prince of peace and not the king—to have been headed by the prince of Asturias and some of the principal grandees, to whom the minister had rendered himself an object of the deepest detestation. The prince of peace contrived to make the king believe that his life was the object aimed at by his son and the rest of the conspirators, and hence he hoped to get rid of his royal highness by the same means by which a former heir to the Spanish monarchy was taken off.
He is said to have had early information of the conspiracy and to have transmitted an account of it to Bonaparte, requesting his interposition and stating that the conspiracy would be destructive of the French influence at the court of Madrid.
Bonaparte immediately ordered troops enter Spain on pretence of being employed against Portugal. But the number was much larger than any operations against that country demanded, and the course of the march of a large party of the army was directed more towards the Spanish capital than the Portuguese. The next accounts from Spain will in all probability communicate to us the most important events.

FRENCH EMPIRE.
HANOVER, Nov. 10.
The following is the imperial decree which has been issued respecting Hanover, and the principality of Hanau: Extract from the registers of the secretary of states' office.
Palace of St. Cloud, 4th Aug. 1807.
We, Napoleon, emperor of the French and king of Italy, protector of the confederation of the Rhine, decree as follows:
Art. 1. All territorial and allodial property, all houses and possessions, and in general all private property which belonged to the prince
or states of Hanover, as well as the country, under whatever title, shall be sequestrated, and possession taken thereof in our name.
II. The woods and forests are comprised in the properties mentioned in the preceding article. An inspection of the registering shall immediately set off in post from Paris, in order to take cognizance of these objects, to take an inventory of the property, and to send to Paris, as soon as possible, a list of the leases of those parts which are to let.
III. The same operation shall take place in Hanau, and another inspection of the registering, who will be sent thither, shall fulfil the same duties.
IV. As soon as these inspectors or directors shall be arrived at their destination, they are to send to the minister of Finances a sketch of the inventory of the aforesaid property; and they shall remain notwithstanding at their said place of destination until possession be taken, they proceeding thereto conjointly with our intendant.
(Journal de Paris.)
BAYONNE, November 10.
All the letters from Spain for France having been stopped at Yrun, we receive no more news from Madrid. We have in consequence nothing to fix our opinion upon the conspiracy, but the contradictory reports of some travellers, who have informed us that the duke l'Infantado, being at Vitteria when the guard went to arrest him in his hotel in Madrid, hastened to return to that capital, where he delivered himself up to justice—Don Amarillas, ex-vice-roy of Pampeluna, and Don Artinga, governor of Bilboa, are among the persons arrested.
KEIL, November 12.
We learn that major-general Wattersdorff died suddenly at Aalburg.
The court martial established at Copenhagen, and presided by prince Frederick of Hesse, has commenced its sittings. Major-general Peymann, vice-admiral Lathens, gen. Kirchhoff's and-de-camp and col. Bielefeldt, the master of the ordnance, have been provisionally put under civil arrest.
It is said, that the other members of the chancery of Schleswig, Holstein and the German chamber of annuities, are to repair to Rantzburg in order to be near his majesty.
We understand by the last advices from Nibor, that there is not now a single vessel cruising in the Belt, and that a great number of deserters from the Hanoverian legion were arrived at Corsoer and in the environs.
Lieutenant general Castenskiold, is reestablished in the command of Zealand, Laaland, Falster, and Moch, and his vanguard, under the orders of major general Ewald is posted at Rochschild. Major Neuen, is raising at Laaland a regiment of light dragoons of eight squadrons, who are to be called dragoons of Zealand; and in North Jutland, lieut. colonel Jean de Ranzau, is raising a corps of horse and foot rangers. The arrival of our German regiments in the Danish islands is extremely rare.
It was rumored that there were English privateers at Gottenburg or in Scania; but yesterday lieut. Luken of the navy, dispatched as a courier from Christina, arrived here, having passed through Gottenburg and Copenhagen; since which that rumor is no longer credited. The English crew who manned our ship of the line the Neptune, which was stranded off Aveen, are in the island.
By advices from Elsinour we understand that some men of war appear to be assembled off Helsingborg. The English have burned or stranded ship Neptune. It is remarked that the only ships the English have not been able to carry off are the Mars and the Neptune.
Since the 7th, no vessel has been cleared out from our custom house. The English cruisers give chase to all the merchant vessels coming from the North Sea or the Baltic. They drive them upon the coast of Sweden and do not allow them to pay any duty to our custom houses.
Major Zeselka who commanded in Heligoland, has been acquitted by the court martial which was charged to examine into his conduct.
SABLES, Nov. 14.
For these few days a strong division of the enemy has appeared off our coasts.
Lately the Rabbit English schooner brig, which is stationed off our harbor, having captured a chassemarée that was crossing the gulph, (being bound for the isle-Dieu, laden with pitch tar and resin) she put 3 Englishmen on board the prize, leaving also in her the captain of the chassemarée. The latter was soon after overtaken by a gale of wind from the S.W. in which she had her sails carried away and was cast upon the coast at St. Giles. By this accident, the captain was saved and the English made prisoners.
This morning several vessels forming part of the convoys which are in our port, having sailed out under convoy of the Pinnacle stationed here commanded by Mr. Guine, lieut. de. Vasseau, member of the legion of honor, an English boat manned with 5 seamen and an officer, armed with cutlasses and muskets belonging to the said armed brig, sailed among
these vessels, which immediately took possession of her without meeting with much resistance. These Englishmen have been conveyed to the jail of this town, with exception of the officer who is free on parole. They have been treated with all the regard due to misfortune.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 2.
We are indebted to the politeness of our friends who have furnished us with liberal extracts from their letters, together with intelligence received in conversing with the passengers by the Lorenzo.
The troops which defiled through Bordeaux & the adjacent country, were only between 70 and 80 000, their destination was equally intended to act against Portugal and Spain. The latter being to undergo a total change of government, and to be included in the dynasty of the Bonapartes.
The spouse of Lucien (whom he had married without the consent of Napoleon) lately died of a very short illness. It was generally believed that this widowed prince would shortly be married to some princess, and be installed as king of Spain and Portugal, which kingdom will assume some new and more appropriate name.
It was whispered mysteriously in fashionable circles, that the emperor Napoleon at Milan, was engaged in effecting his fanciful change in the political state of Europe. The kingdom of Italy is to be increased, and assigned for the maintenance of his beloved empress, from whom his matrimonial ties are to be cancelled by divorce, from the hands of his holiness the pope. The empress will then reign over Italy, and the crown to become hereditary in the family of the Beauharnois, through her son the present vice roy of the same.
The emperor Napoleon invested with gile of emperor of the west, will ally himself to the house of Russia, by marrying the princess Catherine, sister to the emperor Alexander, who is to assume the title of emperor of the east, and place his brother Constantine, on the throne at Constantinople, which city is to be the metropolis of a kingdom formed principally from the dominions of Turkey in Europe.
The seige of Gibraltal was spoken of, but not as a matter of primary importance.
Cambaceres the arch chancellor of the empire was at Bordeaux, where the most splendid entertainments were given on the occasion.
The embargo at Bordeaux was laid pursuant to the equipment and sailing of the secret expedition of which 2 frigates have arrived at Martinique.
The embargo was taken off on the 4th Dec.
The prevailing opinion at Bordeaux at the departure of the Lorenzo captain Dill, were that war would be declared by France against the United States, on the event of their adjustment with England.
Mr. Lee, American consul at Bordeaux, has addressed his dispatches to the secretary of state; supposed to contain an official account of the Algerine declaration of war against the United States, and of the actual commencement of hostilities.
The emperor Napoleon, arrived at the foot of mount Cenis on the 29th November—at Turin in the evening of the same day, and on the day after at noon he was at Milan—his arrival at these places were conveyed to her imperial majesty by Telegraphic dispatches.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 26.
Yesterday arrived the ship Charles Carter, captain Drysdale, in 48 days from London; and the ship Northern Liberties capt. Watt, in 40 days from Greenock. By these arrivals we have received London papers to the 10th, and Greenock papers to the 12th ult. inclusive.
The articles of most importance is the declaration of the emperor of Russia, which although not declared to be so, is tantamount to a declaration of war. The British government have therefore, laid an embargo on all the Russian vessels in their ports, and ordered their cruisers to detain all such as they should fall in with. The influence of Bonaparte has added the only maritime nation of importance to the enemies of the British and has woven another laurel for the brow of some of her naval commanders. The Russian naval officers have learnt the art of war in the British navy, but they will most probably soon have it in their power to evince to the world whether or not they have improved by the lessons which have been given them. It is generally believed that Sweden will be compelled to join in the confederacy.
The temporal authority of the Pope is almost at an end. The French have taken possession of the castle of St. Angelo, preparatory to the erection of another kingdom in Italy, of which LUCIEN BONAPARTE is to be the head, by the title of king of Latium.
Gen. Sebastiana the French ambassador to the Porte, has left Constantinople for Paris. The Turkish government torn by factions distracted in their councils by the influence of Bonaparte and Alexander, will most probably fall a sacrifice to the insidious friendship of the one, and the overwhelming power of the other.
The city of Berlin as well as the province are in a state of the most complete misery. The inhabitants are threatened with military execution, for not paying the contributions which the French have imposed upon them and which they are entirely unable to pay. Bonaparte has demanded five millions of dollars from the king of Prussia, and required that eight of the strongest Prussian fortresses should be garrisoned by French troops until the conclusion of the war.
Bonaparte, it is said, is gone to the purpose of meeting all the kings & princes, of his own making, at Milan. The pope, the king and queen of Naples, the queen of Etruria, the king of Bavaria, &c. to be there; but it is not known for what purpose these great personages are to assemble.
The prince of Asturias has been released by the king of Spain, through the interference of Bonaparte, who has presented him with the cordon of the legion of honor. His highness, it is said, confessed his guilt to his royal parents, and not only received their pardon, but has been placed at the head of the Spanish army destined to invade Portugal. If this account be true, the power of the Prince of Peace is completely overturned. Bonaparte has employed him as long as he thought necessary, and will now, probably, sacrifice him, as the surest way of obtaining popularity with the people of Spain. The deliberation of the prince was received with the utmost joy by the people, who drew his carriage through the streets amidst the loudest acclamations.
Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, in the Swiftsure of 74 guns sailed from Plymouth on the 3th ult. for Halifax.
Price of Stocks at London, Dec. 9, Consols, 68. Omnium, 3-4 premium.
On the 13th ultimo, in lat. 44. 30, long. 14, Capt. Drysdale spoke the British government brig Redwing, one of Sir Syd. Smith's squadron, who informed him that the Portuguese fleet, having on board the royal family of Portugal, sailed from the Tagus, on the 22d of November, bound to the Brazils. The fleet consisted of 9 sail of the line, four frigates and two brigs, accompanied with 4 sail of British line of battle ships. The emigration of the Portuguese royal family to South America will be attended with prodigious advantages to the British. It will open the most extensive mart for their manufactures, and will pave the way for the fall of the Spanish power in South-America.
From the New-York Evening Post.
French iniquity and insolence.—The official French paper, the Moniteur, of the 12th of November, contains an article respecting England, from which we extract the following.
"Let us speak of the situation into which England has brought Portugal. The prince regent of Portugal loses his throne; he loses it influenced by the intrigues of England; he loses it because he would not seize the English merchandise which was at Lisbon—What then does England, that powerful nation? She sees with indifference what passes in Portugal. What will she do when Portugal be taken? Will she seize upon the Brazil? No: if the English make that attempt the Catholics will drive them out. The heir of the house of Braganza will remain a new proof that the destruction of whomsoever attaches herself to England is inevitable."
What will the French hirelings say, they who have so long endeavored to excite national animosity here against the English, because they took the naval and military stores from the Danes, solely to prevent their falling into the hands of the French army then in march to Copenhagen, for the purpose of employing them against the English. What will these French hirelings who have so long been stunning our ears with their clamors against this act of British atrocity as they now call it, say, when they find it published to the world that Bonaparte is determined on the detronement of the Queen and Prince regent of Portugal, and the destruction of the kingdom, "because the Portuguese would not seize the English merchandise in Lisbon" at his command—for his use? What will the same base servile mercenary wretches say now, when they see the usurper threatening destruction to whomsoever attaches himself to the English? After this, I fancy it is not from Mr. Jefferson that we are to expect a treaty with Great Britain. After this I fancy doubts will disappear from every mind of "propositions of an infamous nature" which have been made by France to this court. It is time indeed for us to "awake, arise, or be forever fallen."

It was reported at Havana, when the Sally sailed, that the British had landed a force at St. Jago de Cuba. Captain Lark informs that vessels were daily arriving at Havana, from different parts of the U. States, in distress! Charl. post.
There is a Jacobin paper lately established at Baltimore, which speaks the sentiments of the party with less reserve than any other which we have seen. In a late number, speaking of the candidate for the next presidency, that print makes the following candid confession:
Let the WORST MAN in the community be but regularly nominated by the free, unbiased, and disinterested choice of the majority, and we would CHEERFULLY ADVOCATE his election." Phil. paper.
On Tuesday night last, a laboring man at the lower end of the town, introduced a pot of coals, put therein some sulphur with an intention to destroy or drive away the rats which infested his dwelling and then went to bed—On Wednesday morning his fellow laborer missing the above from his work, called at the house as he went to breakfast, but finding all fast, broke open the door, where he found the man, his wife and four children, in a state of insensibility; but on proper application, we hear most of them if not all, are likely to recover. Ibid.
The Newyork Gazette of Tuesday 2d inst. Yesterday (quarter-day) was a busy day among the LANDLORDS—Many house were given up, because the tenants insisted on a reduction on account of the total stagnation of business; by the embargo. In some instances Landlords have reduced the rents; but generally houses have been let as high as usual—Some, who have rented their property at the last year's rate, have promised a hand-some reduction if the Embargo continue six months.

COMMUNICATION.
EMBARGO.
What the effects of this act will be abroad we are to learn hereafter, but those which it is producing at home we begin to feel, and feel pretty sharply. Rice, which some weeks since sold briefly at 3 dollars 50 cents, is now nominally worth but 1 dol 75 cents; black seed cotton has fallen from 34 cents to 22 a 25 cents, and no sale, and corn is down to fifty six cents! The North Carolina price current, says, flour is down to 2 dollars 25 cents the barrel, and tobacco to 2 dollars 50 cents the cwt. In Maryland it has occasioned a resolution being offered for closing the courts of that state. Such is the beginning of the embargo measure, but what will be the end?
Legislative Eloquence.
As we have published the eloquent speeches of Messrs. Gaston and Henderson in the legislature of North Carolina, we give an extract from the speech of col. Hamilton, the mover of the resolution, to whom these gentlemen replied. It is a close imitation of the Aurora eloquence, and equally as remarkable for the truth of its sentiments as for the delicacy of its language. "Shall we not ask colonel Hamilton, solicit Mr. Jefferson again to become president? It is known that he declines from principle. Should we not then remove his scruples of delicacy; for if we loose him who shall we find equal to the task? Let us look round the United States and take a view of the most prominent characters. What is Rufus King? He is a man of some abilities, but he is known to be the child of faction, the disciple of Alexander Hamilton, to have imbibed his toy his royal principles. What is George Clinton? He was once a great man, but he is anti-gusted, and has resigned himself to the government of factious favorites. Monroe would be the tool, the puppet of John Randolph. Mr. Madison wants nerves, wants energy; he would be blown about by every breeze; and if we look to South Carolina, we shall see Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, another disciple of Hamilton and a creature of faction. On whom can we repose with entire confidence besides Mr. Jefferson? He would be the safe depositary of our rights and liberties; and we ought for our, in a time of peril and danger to solicit him to lay aside his scruples and become the saviour of his country."
OPINION
Of the Government Paper.
The National Intelligencer, in remarking on the late news from Europe appears to believe that the present state of things there will prove a benefit to us. Speaking of England the Editor asks,
"Is not this the precise moment for her to relax in her pretensions towards this country? We demand nothing but what is just—the same freedom of trade which she has always insisted upon—and that very freedom, which, in the present crisis, may be essential to her existence? Independently of the confederated hostility of all Europe against her, she is menaced with a severer scourge than war! At the very moment when she had flattered herself with a plentiful harvest, the assurance of which perhaps had a great influence on the principles she had set up, as well in point of time, as in regard to their extent; at the very time she calculated upon the abundance of her crops to supply the means of carrying these measures into effect she is visited, in her most vulnerable point, with the most awful calamity which can threaten or befall a nation. Famine already stares her in the face, (alluding to the letter from Cook)
"If such apprehension existed at the end of November, to what degree may it not be expected to rise about the beginning of February, when the information of our embargo shall reach her; when she shall find her stock of provisions greatly diminished; when she shall have suffered severely from the prohibitory orders of her own government; when the stock of raw materials for her manufactures is gradually declining; when the want of the all-important article of flax seed, (no where else to be got) shall have paralyzed the labors of the farmer, and presented a more dreary prospect to the manufacturer; and when the prospect of a supply from this country hitherto her constant reliance in time of distress—shall have vanished? Will not Britain, at such a period, yield to that principle which she has made the pretext for all her invasions of neutral rights, to the principle of necessity, whose existence, however incorrectly urged on other occasions can admit of no question under such circumstances? We do hope that she will, and that her own decided interest will induce her to act a wise, honorable and just part towards us."
He then concludes with the following "Frenchified" paragraph. It is truly Frenchified; for it conveys the opinion that France need not be expected nor ought she to be compelled to repeal her ridiculous blockading decrees, until Britain shall have abandoned the ground which the government writer knows she assumed, in consequence of our net resisting the oppressive measure of her enemy. We attempt not to apologise for the misconduct of any foreign power. But why does the official journal evince such an uniform partiality to France?
"France, too, and all her allies, will most sensibly feel the effects of the embargo; so sensibly, we should hope, as to be herself willing, in case England relaxes her conduct to neutrals, likewise to annul her restrictions. We are assured from a correct commercial source that flour was in that country, at the latest accounts, at ten dollars a barrel, which is four dollars above its average price since the accession of Napoleon."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia to his friend in Georgetown. "Yesterday between 12 and 1 o'clock doctor Physick took away a very large POLYPUS from the nose and throat of John Reeder. The size is almost incredible. The part that lay nearest the throat looks like a heart, rather larger than that of the largest Turkey Cock, perhaps as large as that of a young lamb. The remaining part was the thickness of the nostril in which it lay. It was taken away root and branch, without the loss of much blood, and John, can now breathe through his nose. Doctor Physick has gained much applause by his operation. He means to preserve the polypus in spirits. He attempted to take it out on Saturday; I was then present, but the silver wire broke. Yesterday I was not present, but I am informed he broke another wire. He then waxed a piece of tape and wrapped another wire with it; and succeeded. The operation was somewhat similar to the manner of taking a cork out of a bottle with a string. He first got his wire over it so as to tear it loose, and then took it out at his mouth."
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Begun and held at the Capitol in the city of Richmond, on Monday the 7th day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven, and of the commonwealth the thirty-second.
An Act, concerning the Sale of Property, under Executions, and Incumbrances. [Passed Feb. 1st, 1808.]
BE it enacted by the general assembly, That
so much of the act, passed on the tenth day of December, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-three, intitled, "An act, for further continuing and amending the act, entitled, an act, for reducing into one, the several acts, concerning executions, and for the relief of insolvent debtors," as directs, that when goods or other estate, taken in execution, cannot be sold for three-fourths of their value, the debtor or debtors, may give bond and security to pay the debt within twelve months, or that the said goods, or other estate, may be sold on twelve months credit, and every part of the said recited act, as concerns such executions, either in the appointment of commissioners to carry the same into effect, or for the direction of the sheriff or other officer, or the clerk of any court in suing out execution on any such bond, or of any other person whomsoever, and of every matter or thing thereto appertaining, shall be, and the same is hereby declared to be in full force: And all courts, sheriffs and other officers, as well as the parties concerned, are to govern themselves accordingly, any thing in the law to the contrary notwithstanding.
Be it further enacted, That before any commissioners appointed by the decree of any court of chancery, to sell any real or personal estate, or any trustee under any deed of trust, hereafter executed, shall proceed to sell the estate decreed to be sold or conveyed in trust, the commissioners directed to be appointed by this act, or any three of them, shall value the estate intended to be sold, on the request of the creditor, and if three-fourths at least of the estimated value, shall not be offered by the highest bidder, the estate shall not be then sold, nor shall it be at any time thereafter sold during the continuance of this act, for less than three-fourths of such estimated value: The valuation shall be made and entered in writing, signed by the commissioners or any three of them, and delivered to the commissioners appointed by the courts of chancery, and to the trustees respectively.
The commissioners who may act by virtue of this section, shall be entitled to the sum of one dollar for each day they shall be employed, to be paid by the creditor, to be taxed, in the bill of costs.
The provisions of this act shall not extend to executions, which may issue against any sheriff or other public officer, for delinquencies, or failing to pay money received on executions, nor to executions which may issue against an attorney at law, for money received in behalf of his client or clients. All valuations of property made or to be made by commissioners, shall be according to the ordinary value of property, before the first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and seven.
The provisions of this act shall not be construed to extend to any execution issued upon any judgment obtained by any bank established by law. The provisions of this act shall extend to executions issued by any justice of the peace, mayor or alderman, for all sums exceeding ten dollars, exclusive of costs; and the constable or other officer, taking any bond, by virtue of this act, shall return the same within thirty days, to the clerk's office of the county, in which such execution shall have issued, to be proceeded on as other replevy bonds. And all executions which shall be awarded on forthcoming bonds executed before the commencement of this act, shall be proceeded in as other executions: but the proceedings on all forthcoming bonds executed thereafter, shall be as heretofore.
So much of this act as authorises the appointment of commissioners shall be in force from and after the passing thereof: And the several county and corporation courts shall appoint such commissioners at their next February terms, or as soon thereafter as practicable; and the residue of this act shall commence and be in force from and after the first day of March next, and continue in force until the expiration of thirty days after the discontinuance of the embargo, laid by the congress of the United States during the present session. But so much of this and the above recited act as authorises and directs the manner of proceeding on replevy bonds, taken by virtue of this act, shall be, and the same is hereby made perpetual.
