HOUSES & LOT FOR SALE.
WE offer for sale the Houses and Lot near to Mr. Rutherford's dwelling House and next below Mr. Isaac Webster's on Shockoe Hill, at present occupied by Benjamin Sheppard.

Any person inclined to purchase, may be accommodated with credits which probably will be agreeable; or debts due or not due from persons residing in Richmond or Henrico, will be taken in payment, or a considerable deduction from a credit price will be made for cash.

Clark, master, from Matanzas, bound to Newport—just arrived.  In all, 6 ships, 5 brigs, 2 schooners, and one sloop; cargoes with vessels are estimated at 625,000 dollars.
Principles which govern the vice court of admiralty at Halifax.
Proof is required of the origin of returning property; that is, of the funds with which such property was purchased, and the nature of the outward voyage. If such are not found with the vessel at the time of capture, cargoes will be detained for further proof and expenses thrown upon the claimants. This is the principal ground upon which most of the above vessels have been captured. Colonial produce exported by the importer, although it may constitute but a small proportion of the cargo, infects the whole property belonging to same person, and subjects it to condemnation, as in the case of brig Hannah. It is the fame with contraband, and breach of blockade, all being considered as illegal acts or intentions, and this principle has been extended to a much greater length in the case of brig Romulus; for there, by an attempt made to release by the captain, the judge held that the criminality of the act affected all the property on board, most of which was on freight.
The most trifling prevarication or contradiction in the evidence of the captain, subjects the owner to expenses, which are seldom less than from 9 to 11 hundred dollars, and in some instances have amounted to 2000 dollars, as in the case of the John and Frances, where there were many affidavits taken and translations made. The character of the captain as well as the owner, or others concerned in cargo appearing before the court in an equivocal light, is considered in a serious point of view; and although, proceeding from inadvertency in the captain's answers to the standing interrogatories, the complexity of which, is such that it is almost impossible the captain should not commit himself, he is subjected to the security of a young gentleman, who acts as counsel on the part of the captors, and sure of being shoulder with the weighty costs, and possibly with the loss of adventure, or of his owners property.
It is due to the character of the judge of the vice court of admiralty at Halifax, to observe, that although he strictly adheres to the line of policy marked out to him by his government, that he frequently sacrifices feelings to duty, but seems disposed to favor the fair neutral character, in every case before him, where his honesty does not clash with his instructions.
Seven of the above vessels were captured by the notorious Whitby, whose recent conduct is almost universally execrated at Halifax, and where it is expected he will be called home to account for it.
Admiral Berkeley is appointed to the Halifax station, and is shortly expected out. His captain is Sir

POLITICAL VIEWS...No. VII.
COMMERCE OF THE LEVANT.
In our preceding number, we gave an estimate of the export and import trade of Greece, with the other nations of Europe...
This investigation is not merely curious, nor is it with a view to gratify curiosity only that it is undertaken...
We believe that common sense and discretion go largely into the policy and measures of the present ruler of France.
We do not apprehend that any project so absurd and repugnant to common sense, as the invasion of this country can enter into his policy.
Because, for example—he can obtain in Greece—“flips, colonies and commerce”—which he would not get here if he were to come.
The materials and accommodation which he wants are at his door. His measures all point out this policy—He wants cotton and tobacco, they are to be had in Macedonia.
It is to render these truths, interesting as they generally are, more palpable to the generality of readers...
Having generally stated the materials which compose the exports of Greece; we shall now go into a comprehensive view of the imports from the several nations of Europe.
Germany—woolen cloths, linen, calico, muslin, glass wares, porcelain, steel, copper wrought, embroidery, miscellaneous.
France—woolen cloths, worked velvets, embroidery, mirrors, clocks and watches, jewellery, arms, cutlery, liquors, syrups, paper, lead, small shot, colonial productions as sugar, coffee, indigo, cochineal, pepper, spices, brass wood, log-wood.
Italy—woolens, fire-arms, glass, silks, velvet, paper, &c.
Russia—furs, fables, ermines, grey peoprel, black fox—and by the Euxine, hemp, tar, pitch, turpentine, timber, spars, yards, masts, lumber, and Asiatic productions by the Caspian sea.
England—woolen cloths, chalons, calicoes, muslins, tin, lead, iron raw and wrought, clocks and watches, toys and jewellery, and colonial commodities as stated under the head of France.
Batavia—woolen cloths, and articles similar to other nations.
A brief view of the commerce of each of these nations we shall now endeavor to sketch from the authentic sources.
The commerce of Germany extends thro' every part of Greece; and the emperor Joseph very wisely made it an open commerce...
The author of the declaration of independence—A text for orthodox, and a practical commentary in accordance with it, deserves and will receive the eternal homage of freemen.
The cloak of Pennsylvania—'Tis not in mortals to command success, they have done more, they have deserved it.
The American flag—Its protection is to be found not in a navy, but in British ware-houses and British work-shops...
Paulding, Williams and Vanwert—Unlike Thomas M'Kean, they were above temptation, and preferred their country to themselves.
At other Meetings in Philadelphia, Thomas Jefferson—May he yield to the nations, patronage, and give four years more of his invaluable life to the honor and welfare of his country.
The great family of the PEOPLE of Pennsylvania—May they never suffer any little family within the state to degrade their character.
South-Carolina—May she speedily remove the black patch that defames her countenance.
Massachusetts—May her present hosts become her steady habits.
Education—the only means of perpetuating our blessings.—The mind that is uniformed is easily enslaved.
The memory of our fellow citizen John Pierce, murdered near our own shores—May this cruel outrage teach Americans what they ought to expect from the alliance, if such is the evidence of British friendship.
The common law—A curse, like the king's evil, entailed by a profligate parent upon an innocent posterity.
Our unfortunate fellow-citizens deluded by the enemies of Great-Britain into the toils of the Spaniards—May their betrayers meet the punishment, as they have excited the execration of America.
The rising capital of America—May its walls never be contaminated by the infamy of Yazoo speculators...

FEDERATIVE SYSTEM.
Comparison of the federative system of France with the policy of the Roman Republic.
Italy was long considered the school of the arts and of politics. The French of the present day removed the finest monuments and productions of the former, from that fair peninsula, to their brilliant capital...
In the letter in which the emperor of the French informed the senate, that he had adopted Prince Eugene, Viceroy of Italy, in that remarkable document, dated the 12th of January, Napoleon used for the first time, the expressive term, Federative States.
The expressive term Federative State, first received a signification from the speech with which Napoleon opened the sitting of the legislative body, on the 2d of March.
Modern times can scarcely transfer to the great book of history, events and circumstances, for which a parallel may not be found on some preceding page.
The various nations which inhabited the Italian peninsula, the Latins, the Hetrurians, the Pecenians and the Campanians, were the principal allies of the Roman state.
As Napoleon, at the present day, strenghens, through gratitude, the bonds which unite Bavaria, Wirtemberg and Baden to France...

RICHMOND, 22d JULY.
MR. FOX'S LETTER TO MR. MUNROE.
According to the construction put by some upon Mr. Fox's letter, they have supposed it to admit a partial relaxation of the principle, laid down by G. Britain. The exception, which they fasten upon, is "provided such ships and vessels so approaching and entering shall not have been laden at any port, belonging to, or in possession of, any of his majesty's enemies."
It is that a simple proclamation of a blockade would never have been employed as a medium for communicating this grand concession. Had the principle been recognized by G. B. it would not have been confined to that small tract of coast alone which is here placed under blockade.
2dly: That the condition here expressed, and understood according to the obvious import of the words, is an essential feature in the proclamation. Perhaps no blocking proclamation ever so much abounded in nice distinctions and numerous specifications, as this one.
It is useless to reply, that if this mode of construction be correct, it would be also applicable to the colonial trade, carried on thro' the medium of the U. States;
3dly: That there is another expression in the proclamation, which lays this trade completely open to the cupidity of Great-Britain: "Such blockade shall not extend to prevent neutral ships and vessels, laden with goods not being the property of his majesty's enemies, from approaching the said coasts."
It is here that the net is laid for entrapping neutral property. It is here that the question is asked, does this colonial cargo belong to an enemy or a neutral?
LATEST NEWS.—The Dutch papers received from Rotterdam, down to the 10th of June are fifteen days later than the last papers from Liverpool.
As the relations of Prussia to France seemed to forbid the adjustment of her differences with G. Britain, we have not credited the report, that was brought by the Liverpool papers of such an accommodation.
VIENNA, May 21. The emperor has fixed on count Bellegarde, to repair to Cattaro, in order to receive that place from the Russians, and afterwards to deliver it to the French.
The militia of this city has been now brought in 30,000 men; the other cities and places in Austria will follow this example; by which means, we shall shortly have a second line of defence, consisting of more than 40,000 men.
They write from Copenhagen, that the news arrived there that Sweden had declared all Prussian ports in a state of blockade.
The Grand Pensionary Schimmelpennick has now a fair opportunity of deciding a very learned question; which are the most acute, the pains of the body or those of the mind?
APPOINTMENTS IN PENNSYLVANIA. Governor McKean has lately paid homage to the first feelings of the heart, by appointing his own son-in-law, Dr. George Buchanan, physician to the Lazaretto.
This conduct, however, deserves a more serious attack. All family influence is at war with the principles of a republic. And hence those political constitutions are the most perfect, which give the least possible range of appointment to a single individual.
One other appointment has been made in Pennsylvania, which particular circumstances render worthy of attention. Gen. JOHN SHEE, commander of that republican phalanx, the Philadelphia Legion, has been appointed by the President of the United States, Superintendent of the Indian trade, vice William Dey.
It is not every branch of that trade, which they consider illegal. It would have been improper to have prohibited in the proclamation, every vessel laden in the United States with colonial produce from entering the blockaded ports, because they have never extended their anti-neutralizing principle to every vessel that fails out of our ports.
The answer of Colonel William Smith to the friend of the Marquis De Yrujo is firm, dignified, and full of honour. Its only fault is, that it did not treat this insidious hypocrite with the indignation which he deserved.
As to this ex-privileged spy of his Catholic majesty, what words can adequately describe his conduct? Striving to sink the honor of the man in the feelings of the father: Harrowing up the fancy by the most dreadful images of destruction, & playing upon the finest chords of the heart, for the purposes of low intrigue, or it may be, malignant revenge:
At a numerous meeting of the gentlemen and ladies of Orange and the adjacent counties, at Mr. N. Gordon's tavern, on the anniversary of American independence, Mr. Philip Grymes delivered an oration adapted to the day; and the company, the most brilliant ever recollected on such an occasion, at three o'clock sit down to a dinner which done great credit to the taste of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon.
1. The day we celebrate; may it continue to be a Jubilee. 2. The people of the United States; they have overthrown the illusive opinions of tyrants, and reduced to practice the sublime truth, that man is susceptible of self-government. 3. The Federal Constitution; may its administration continue to effect the object of its adoption, till time shall be lost in the abyss of eternity. 4. The Congress of the United States; let virtue be its guide and liberty its object. 5. The President of the United States; his peaceful trophies will be erected in the hearts of mankind,
so long as liberty and science shall have their votaries. 6. Our illustrious countryman James Madison; we love him as a man and revere him as a statesman. The Colossus of his fame stands upon a sure foundation, against which will impotently break the billows of prejudice, of folly or of faction. 7. Our ministers abroad (and chief amongst them James Munroe) succeed to their negotiation. 8. The militia—may they equal the anticipation of their country, and be indeed the safe defence of a free people. 9. The Navy; its infancy has produced acts of heroic valour that Leonidas might envy, what may we not expect from its manhood. 10. The freedom of the press; may every violation thereof whether perpetrated by British, French or Tripolitan corsairs, meet with condign punishment. 11. Charles James Fox; may he move in the orbit assigned him, by public expectation whilst he respects the rights of nations, let him also be hailed as the deliverer of his country. 12. The memory of Washington, Franklin and those departed heroes and statesmen whose illustrious achievements under providence changed the course of fate and gave an happier destiny to their country. 13. The late Chancellor; The Artides of his day—his foul holds communion with the wife and the just. 14. "The Press;" Let it be impressed upon your minds and instilled into your children, that the liberty of the press is the palladium of all the civil, political, and religious rights of an American. 15. The commonwealth of Virginia; may her citizens be impressed with the truth, that virtue and diffusion of knowledge, are essential to the preservation of her liberty—education requires the fostering care of legislation. 16. The vigilance and jealousy of the people; let them never sleep whatever may be their confidence in their servants. 17. The Ladies; may they imitate the morals and imitate the virtues of Cornelia.

Non usitata nec tenui ferar Pennua. HOR. Departed this life on Thursday evening last, after a lingering indisposition, which the bore with all the fortitude imaginable, Miss MARY ELLIOTT, the amiable daughter of Mr. Thomas Elliott of this city.
Departed this life on Saturday the 28th ult. at Shirley, his residence in the county of Charles City, CHARLES CARTER, Esq. in the 74th year of his age; his illness was short but extremely severe; he bore it with more than common patience, and died in the full assurance of that happiness which awaits the righteous. In him the poor have lost their best friend, and of him it might be truly said that he was a father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow—the appeal of the wretched always was effectually attended to by him.
DIED—at his seat, in Caroline county, on the 16th ult. Col. JAMES UPSHAW, aged 76 years. Few men ever lived more beloved, or died more sincerely regretted: no man ever filled in a more exemplary way the various relations of life. He was temperate, unassuming and plain in his manners. During the revolution, altho' far advanced in life, he was an active and useful patriot. The many public trusts which were conferred on him by the confidence of his fellow-citizens, he filled with usefulness to them, and honor to himself. This small tribute to the memory of this excellent man, is offered by one, who has had many evidences of his virtues.

ber of the legislature, in the meeting of the 5th of March.) Europe goes forth under a new form. A balance of power can no more subsist among states, than among the individuals who compose them; for equal pretensions produce jealousy; this leads to war, and war entails misery on nations.
Of these directed powers, which are immediately, or mediately under the command of France, a semi-official paper, the Journal de Paris, conducted by the counsellor of State Roederer, lately gave a remarkable calculation.
If we pause at this number, and compare it with the total population of our quarter of the globe, we shall find that about two fifths of the 170 millions of inhabitants in Europe, are under the general direction mentioned by the Journal de Paris.
The federative system, on which it is principally founded, continued in Rome for many centuries. It fell, at length, through the cupidity of the great, who were desirous of converting the allied states into provinces, to make their extortions the more productive, and thro' the discontent of the allied nations in Italy, which broke out into a terrible and sanguinary war, in which the existence of the Roman state was long endangered.
LONDON, May 22. The discussions last night in the house of commons are highly interesting to the nation at large.
The principle of the plan for the improvement of our military system, as it was originally submitted to the house by the secretary for the war department, is not to be abandoned.
ADMIRAL VILLENEUVE.—In the London Courier of the 12th of May, we find the following remarks respecting this ill-fated man. Without pretending to determine whether the account in the French papers of the manner of Admiral Villeneuve's death be true or not, we shall state some circumstances which struck us forcibly upon reading that account.
The emperor has fixed on count Bellegarde, to repair to Cattaro, in order to receive that place from the Russians, and afterwards to deliver it to the French. The militia of this city has been now brought in 30,000 men; the other cities and places in Austria will follow this example; by which means, we shall shortly have a second line of defence, consisting of more than 40,000 men.

NEW PAMPHLET.
At a moment when our negotiation is pending with G. Britain, it is of no little interest to understand the existing opinion of those writers in England, who have hitherto opposed the neutralizing doctrine...
One remark more—Hopes of an advantageous compromise, being formed from the principles of a pamphlet lately published in England, and attributed to the pen of Lord Holland, it is proper to show the grounds on which this last supposition has been combat...
FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
On Monday evening last a Pamphlet, written by the author of "War in Disguise," was republished in this city from the London copy: it is 48 pages 8vo.
Observations on the Speech of the hon. John Randolph, Representative for the State of Virginia, in the General Congress of America, on a motion for the non-importation of British merchandise, pending the present dispute between Great Britain and America.
ADVERTISEMENT. The Author of the Observations offers as an apology for defects in its style and its inadequacy to its very important subject, the extreme haste in which it has been composed...
OBSERVATIONS, &c. Six months had elapsed since the pamphlet called "War in Disguise" was first given to the public, without any opponent having entered the lists, to dispute before British judges, either the justice or the policy of its views.
The Editor of the Parisian Argus indeed, who degrades the English language by prostituting it to the service of a tyrant, had favored that work by an early and honorable censure; but at home, it had been noticed with uniform assent to the truth and importance of those practical conclusions to which the author had reached...
On a sudden, some of these circumstances are unexpectedly revealed. Within a few days, a pamphlet has been put into my hands, which under a more comprehensive title, discusses the subject of our present dispute with America...
But if there be indeed a yet unexecuted purpose of this nature in the mind of any British minister—if all the recent triumphs of our flag, and the majestic ascendancy of our navy, have not precluded the thought of thus truckling to the invaders of maritime rights...
But as at this moment a rumour has reached my ears, far more alarming than the united attacks of the ablest controversial opponents. It is said that his majesty's ministers are on the point of giving way to the injudicious claims and menaces of America, and renouncing forever the maritime rights in dispute.
But if it be supposed that all the arguments which have been hitherto offered by my own, & far abler pens, in defence of the rule of the war 1756 are utterly in conclusive; & that though unanswer'd (except by the gross misrepresentations of notorious facts) they are capable of being clearly refuted; still we have a new case, on which it seems impossible that two different opinions should be held.
What! is Bonaparte to exclude British sugar and coffee, from the continent, and is America to enable him to do so, by supplying it with French and Spanish sugar and coffee, in their stead? Are neutral markets even, to be shut by violence against our planters, that our enemies may establish there a monopoly against them?
Notes by the Author. The second antagonist alluded to is a writer in the last published Edinburgh Review. The third is an American, whose works are announced for republication in this country. I write on the 1st of May, and hope, before I sleep, to send this hasty composition to press.
poling. My object was not to fortify former positions of right, much less to enter at large into the new relations of the American controversy; but only to deprecate premature determination, and obtain time for further discussion.
It cannot be supposed that his majesty's minister can with precipitancy so relinquish our belligerent rights or pretensions at this most delicate crisis, unless from the fear that an immediate rupture with America must be the consequence of further delay...
The occasion of Mr. Randolph's argument, was a motion made by the most zealous of the French party, for a general non-importation bill; i.e. for the prohibition of importing any British manufactures, while the disputes between the two countries are unsettled...
Afterwards, on the 17th of March, a limited non-importation resolution was brought in by the same party, and carried on a division of 87 to 35, in the House of Representatives; but from the latest accounts there is reason to believe that it was rejected by the Upper House or Senate.
The opposition headed by Mr. Randolph, had defeated, in former instances the violent proposals of the government party, or rather of the French faction; by which the government party itself was pushed on to violent measures.
If the people of the United States could in any case be brought to submit to the burdens of a maritime war, for the sake of what this gentleman justly represents as an ephemeral and precarious commerce...
The authority of Mr. Randolph is the more satisfactory on this point, because he does not directly dispute the justice of those complaints which the clamours of the neutralizers had for a moment made popular in America.
I will agree (says he) to pass for an ideal, if this is not the public sentiment, and you will find it to your cost, begin the war when you will.
It is not, however, solely, or chiefly in regard to the question I have now in view, or the safety of further discussion, that the speech of Mr. Randolph is important.
I invoke the declarations of this American leader, made in the hearing of Congress, to attest, that the disputes on the colonial trade of that country contained in my former publication, were in no degree unfounded.
And here let it be observed, that when Mr. Randolph addressed such considerations to the American Congress, the humiliation and ruin of Austria, and the other recent disasters of Europe, were but imperfectly known beyond the Atlantic.
If these new circumstances of the war had been known to Mr. Randolph, how much would his just apprehensions, from the preponderance of French power, have been aggravated; how much greater would the impolicy of contributing to the ruin of England have appeared to him; how greatly would that sense of the justice of our cause which may be inferred from his language, have been fortified.
And here let me notice, with such brief generality as the urgent necessity of dispatch, under the sense of which I now write, prescribes to me, a new foundation of right which arises from the recent conduct of the enemy.
Let it be supposed that all the arguments which have been hitherto offered by my own, & far abler pens, in defence of the rule of the war 1756 are utterly in conclusive; & that though unanswer'd (except by the gross misrepresentations of notorious facts) they are capable of being clearly refuted; still we have a new case, on which it seems impossible that two different opinions should be held.
Yes this is; in truth, but a part of the enormous case. By what means has France acquired the power of enforcing her prohibition? By the same foul means which have enabled her to overthrow Austria, to break up the foundation of the Germanic empire, and add all Italy to her usurpations; by the most audacious violations of neutral rights, that ever disgraced the page of history, or subverted the security of nations.
Here, we have no controverted principle to assume, in maintaining the approbrious charge. It is not, that on the ocean, and in the interruption of commercial intercourse with a belligerent, neutral pretensions are opposed; but, it is that into the heart of peaceful cities, and among the villages of a harmless peasantry, armies are sent to levy contributions, or pursue their devastating march, by power which does not alledge against the hapless sufferers either the rights of war, or the provocation of a wrong.
(To be continued.)
Notes by the Editor.
(1) The treaty of Presburg, which arose out of the battle of Austerlitz. But whatever change that may have made in the state of England, did it alter our rights?
(2) The "Examination of the British doctrine, which subjects to capture a neutral trade not open in time of peace;" the pamphlet ascribed to the pen of Mr. Madison; and which in spite of the strictures aimed at it by Mr. R., will deserve the gratitude of all neutral nations.
(3) The Edinburgh Review is not yet in our possession. The "American Antagonist" is the author of the pamphlet published in New-York, and ascribed by some to Rufus King, by others to Governor Morris; a pamphlet, by the side of which Mr. Madison's will shine Sicut luna inter inferiores ignes .
(4) Mr. Randolph's first speech on Mr. Gregg's Resolution. (5) The truest flandard for predicting the measures of the government was not the speech of Mr. R. but the votes of the House of Representatives.
(6) The author completely misstates the fact. The vote was not taken on Gregg's resolution. The only question that was ever acted on, was the one for taking as decided the further consideration of this resolution, which was decided in the negative by the vote of 70 to 47.
(7) The author will now confess that he had mistaken the spirit of our government. This bill has not only passed the House of R. but obtained the approbation of the Senate and the President.
(8) What complete ignorance is here displayed of the state of the parties in this country, constant as is the communication between the U. States and England, by travellers, by letters and the public prints!
(9) Peace is the interest of every young republic. Scarce any facilities are too great to be made for its preservation—fave national independence and national honour. We would therefore shun war—We would, consequently, enter into "a deliberate or even a tedious discussion," where it promised an honourable accommodation.
(10) What are on the same side with Britain? Mr. Randolph's sentiments? Unfortunately they bear too much that way? Or does he mean the true interests of our fellow-citizens?
(11) This is but a half-way compliment. We presume it would have been far more pleasing to Mr. R. with the addition of anti-american . No man can be a patriot, who does not resist the encroachments of any foreign nation upon the rights of his country.
(12) But how much greater would not have been the impolicy of suspending our measures at the very moment when they were most likely to prove effectual; at the very moment, when the most idiotical statesmen of Europe would have laughed us to scorn, had we not even taken advantage of the increased embarrassments of the English to press more rigorously our demands for justice?
(13) But if Bonaparte fruits out our trade in British goods by land, Great-Britain blocks out our whole trade from certain ports by sea. She has just placed the whole coast from the Elbe to Brest under blockade.
(14) But what does this argument of the author prove? Why? that Bonaparte being master of certain ports exercises the right of regulating their trade, of excluding the whole of their com-
merce, or only that part which consists in British manufactures; but that G. Britain has not the same right to restrain our lawful trade on the ocean, the great common of all nations.
