After announcing the receipt of London papers by the Galen, the editor of the Boston Gazette says—from a perusal of the various dates, we are enabled to give the following summary:
The negotiation between France and England, which forms a subject of high importance to the feelings as well as interest, of the American people, was not definitively settled, either at the point of peace, or a further protraction of the war. Couriers were continually passing between the two countries; though unproductive of any settled point in the public mind. Whatever had been agreed on by the two cabinets in the progressive discussions of the treaty of peace, remained among the secrets of the two cabinets of St. James and St. Cloud. It appears, from some of the accounts, that about the middle of August, lord Lauderdale announced his determination of quitting Paris, and accordingly demanded his passports. This step is represented to have arisen from some difficulties relative to the surrender of Hanover, which appears to have been a leading article in the instructions of lord Lauderdale; They were, however, finally adjusted, and his lordship permitted to advance his claims on the several points in negotiation. It is certain, that on the receipt in Paris, of news that Russia had refused to ratify the treaty, signed by M. D'Oubril, a very visible change took place in favor of the British minister. So much so indeed, that it was said, the full terms which had been proposed by Great Britain, were acquiesced in, on the part of France, and would be definitively settled without delay. The real ground on which this extraordinary event rests, does not appear to be satisfactorily established. The report must have been received in England through a private channel, and is therefore liable to all the errors of a mere rumor. It is proper, however, to state that there really exists some serious difficulties between Prussia and France; and that it is possible, the above circumstance relative to Hanover, may have given rise to them. As a further symptom of peace, it is stated, that all the troops, which had been embarked in England, on a supposed expedition to the continent, were re-embarked, and ordered into quarters. To this article is opposed an article contained in one of the latest prints, that these troops were merely landed, for their comfort and convenience, until the whole force, which had not reached the sea side, should be ready for service. In this state of doubt and uncertainty, it is difficult to form any conjectures that can possibly satisfy the mind, or prove gratifying to the public—Until, however, we see the news of peace, in an official and undoubted form, we shall yield nothing of our belief in the policy and necessity of war, on the part of England, against France, so long as Bonaparte shall wield the sceptre of that ever restless and powerful nation.
The victory of the British troops in Italy, will prove highly interesting to our readers.—The detailed particulars are given in our foreign department. Should this brilliant event produce any sensible effect in the north of Europe—it may tend to revive the hopes of a new and more practicable plan of operation than has yet been formed against France. The errors of the former confederacy would naturally be avoided—and Prussia is now made sensible of the miserable state of dependence which she is likely to reap, unless secured by the prudence of her future conduct, for her treachery to the former coalition. A small additional force of Russian soldiers, joined to the British now in the Calabrias, and the whole strengthened and reinforced by the native peasants of the country, who in their almost defenceless resistance to the arms of France, have shown a courage and intrepidity worthy the descendants of Roman greatness, would be sufficient to re-conquer the Italian states; and fix its government on so stable and firm a basis, as to form an insurmountable barrier to the further ambition of France. This country once under the protection of the northern powers, confederated, with England, in one firm bond of union and interest, such a joint plan of operation against France, might be concerted, as would compel the boasted arbiter of Europe to relinquish his gigantic plan of universal dominion; and confine his power within such prescribed limits as should afford security to the rest of Europe. However forcible opinion may be, against the coalition of military bodies, Bonaparte, it is believed, would feel very ill at ease, were he again to witness the junction of those powers which composed the last coalition against him. He would calculate on the certainty that Prussia would desert his cause; that the native peasants of the country who have heretofore stood aloof from the struggle, unconscious of their danger, would, like the brave Calabrians, rush from the mountains to oppose his progress; he well knows too, that the emperor of Russia has yet a name to acquire in arms—and that whenever he again takes the field, that name will be acquired; that the new levies which have been raised in Russia, swell the aggregate of her troops to 500,000 men. He knows too, that the mode of warfare which he has assumed and practised with so much success, while it gave a lesson to his own army, afforded the same instruction to his enemies. Should peace not result from the present negotiation between France and the two great powers of England and Russia, such
a confederacy will probably be formed; and its effects are still allowed to be governed by physical causes, we may calculate that the Napoleon tree, where the clusters now hang crowns and diadems, will shortly be stripped of its branches, and the trunk left to cherish and retain its own vigor.
These jealousies which have arisen in the cabinet of Berlin, on account of the monstrous plans of aggrandizement which France is continually forming in almost every quarter of continental Europe, are of too formidable a nature to pass off without producing some important events. The king of Prussia, whose army is perhaps the best disciplined in Europe, and at this moment in a situation for immediate service, would risk little danger in opposing the mandates of Bonaparte. In war against France, the Austrian monarch would find it his interest to join in the struggle; his effective force is highly numerous; and thro' the skill and discipline of the archduke Charles, has been placed in such advantageous situations as to act immediately wherever they should be required. This opinion may be thought chimerical, but it is believed, that whenever Prussia shall be fully convinced of the policy and necessity of opposing France, and shall afford some proof of the sincerity of her designs, that a coalition of the northern powers will from thence be formed—with better hopes of success—and better plans of securing it, than any which have heretofore been concerted against the ambition and rapacity of Bonaparte.
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, September 8.
R U S S I A.
Now that the emperor of Russia has refused to ratify the treaty of peace signed by M. D'Oubril, the ministerialists take great credit to themselves for the delay that has taken place in the negotiation. They desire us to admire "the striking proof the British minister has given (Mr. Fox, we suppose they mean) of his firmness and sagacity!" He "would not believe it possible that his honorable ally could have given his consent to a treaty different from the articles of the union," and "accordingly it turns out that he formed a just estimate of the honor of the emperor of Russia." The emperor is now "an Associate of Integrity and Truth," who has manifested the most "honorable fidelity to his alliance." They wish us to believe that they never suspected him—yet it did happen, and we are sure our readers remember it, that at the very time his imperial majesty was affording the most undoubted proofs of his fidelity and truth, he was characterised by the supporters of those very ministers as a "drunken driveller," who would not fail to violate a solemn oath. The ministerialists therefore did not, and could not be prepared to expect that his Russian majesty would be faithful to his alliance. The whole tenor of their conduct and language since they came into power, has shown that they did not expect it. In putting an end to the session, they never once alluded to Russia as an ally; and though they adverted to the negotiation they were carrying on, they never once suffered it to be supposed that they viewed Russia as an ally, or that there was any understanding between them with respect to the principle or basis of negotiation. On the contrary, when we adverted to the subject, they told us that if Russia had made a separate peace, "it was owing to disgust at the events of the last campaign." They hinted that we had been induced to negotiate by the determination of Russia to negotiate. If they were always so assured of the fidelity and truth of the emperor of Russia, why did they suppose it probable, or even possible, that he might enter into a confederacy against us? Yet they did distinctly allude to the dissolution of our alliance with Russia, and to the formation of a northern confederacy headed by Russia against us.* They declared too their most complete ignorance of the causes and objects of the Russian negotiation. They did not know "why M. D'Oubril was sent to negotiate at all." But wandering into the field of conjecture, in order to afford us most convincing proof that they did not really know any thing, they conjectured it to be "possible that the whole might have been concerted to save Austria at the time she was menaced by France in consequence of the affair of Cattaro." We beg the particular attention of our readers to these last expressions.
After having delivered these sentiments and used these expressions, in not one of
* We quote their expressions—"can we forget that our former alliance with Russia when dissolved was followed by the Northern confederacy? Is such a thing now impossible?" And yet they wish us to believe that they had always the most steady reliance upon the fidelity of his imperial majesty.
which did they give us the slightest reason to believe that they placed the least confidence in Russia, or that they knew the motives or the objects of her negotiating, they avail themselves of her refusal to ratify the treaty to induce us to suppose that they knew from the beginning she would not ratify it, and that "it was obviously an arrangement between Great Britain and Russia that each should treat separately; but no doubt it was mutually understood upon what basis at least they were reciprocally to act." We have just alluded to the expressions used by the ministerialists, that it was possible Russia negotiated to save Austria, when she was menaced by France in consequence of the affair of Cattaro. If that were the case, the date of the commencement of her negotiation must have been of course after Bonaparte had menaced Austria in consequence of Cattaro having been ceded to the Russians—but we had begun to negotiate before the event took place. But it is added, "that the negotiations with England had been actually concluded—when some new difficulties occurred. In all probability this treaty, extorted by subtlety, which went beyond the arrangement, was the difficulty." Now had that been the fact, that each had agreed to treat separately upon mutually understood bases, how comes it that no allusion was made to that agreement in the prerogation speech? would it not have been an advantageous circumstance to the ministers to have had it supposed that they were negotiating in some kind of concert and understanding with so powerful an ally as Russia? would it not have been advantageous to them in the eyes of Europe that they should not be supposed to be treating separately upon the principle of abandoning the continent?—would it have been of any disadvantage to our negotiation? would the avowal of the fact in a solemn communication from his majesty to his parliament and his people, have disabled us from demanding better terms? Besides, if each had agreed to treat upon mutually understood basis, why did not both begin their negotiations at the same time, a circumstance that would have been of mutual advantage, because it would have afforded Bonaparte a decisive proof of the concert and good understanding that subsisted between them?—could not Russia have begun to negotiate at the same time we did? Do we not know that Bonaparte was eager to negotiate with Russia? of course the negotiators of the two countries might have set out in the business of negotiation pari passu .
Did Russia begin to negotiate till long after we did? Has it not been asserted & not contradicted that our negotiation began in March? Had ministers time to consult the court of Petersburg before they had entered into some sort of pacific intercourse with France? Did M. D'Oubril leave Petersburg till long after March? When the intelligence of the signing of the treaty by D'Oubril first arrived in this country, did ministers believe that it would not be ratified? Did they give us reason to suppose that the Russian negotiation and treaty would be of the least advantage to this country or to Europe? When they talked of peace, did they not confine all their observations to what we should obtain? Did they say that any thing would be done for the advantage of Europe by Russia? Did they not talk as if we alone had obtained any "concessions for the wild strides Bonaparte had made?" The security of Portugal and Sicily were stated to be achieved solely by us? If Russia and England were negotiating upon an understood basis, part of the merits of any advantageous terms procured for any European power, would of course have been due to the government that negotiated upon a mutually understood basis with us. But now it seems the treaty signed by D'Oubril, which went beyond the arrangement, was the difficulty that occurred after the negotiation with England had been actually concluded. Was this the difficulty which they themselves stated some days ago to have prevented the signing of the treaty of peace? No, it was the "Encroachments of Bonaparte, at the very moment we were proposing peace on moderate terms,"—the encroachments made by the plan of the Rhinish confederacy, and the final destruction of the German constitution.
Our readers will now, we believe, be pretty well satisfied of the justice of the claims of ministers to firmness and sagacity. But in this refusal of the emperor to ratify D'Oubril's treaty, the ministerialists see nothing but an event which they hail as a favorable omen to peace. Peace, peace, peace! Is their only cry—a cry which is nowhere heard but from the ministers. They see nothing in the late encroachments of Bonaparte which renders peace at this particular moment desirable; they carefully
avoid all allusion to the state of Prussia; they will not permit a word to escape their lips to encourage her in her altered system towards France: they seem to avoid turning their attention to Austria, whom Bonaparte is now destroying more surely than he could do by war, and who could not be more injured by war even in her present state of exhaustion; they will not suffer the continent to believe that they will encourage any efforts to resist the ambition of France. With Bonaparte continuing his encroachments against Austria, with Prussia attempting to form another confederacy against France, these pacific ministers think of nothing but peace. Every thing is hailed as a favorable omen to peace. There is little likelihood however that the emperor of Russia will view these events in the same light. He will prefer joining Prussia against France to resuming the negotiation for the purpose of making peace with France. [Courier.]
ROYAL DECREE, OF THE KING OF THE TWO SICILIES.
Beloved and faithful people of Calabria, the Divine Providence has liberated you from the severe oppression of the French invaders, and again placed you under my legitimate dominion, by the aid of my most potent ally, the king of Great Britain, seconded by mine and your assistance.
The gallant British general, chevalier Stuart, who worthily commands the forces in those provinces, in his execution has completely fulfilled the orders of his sovereign, and has answered faithfully to the confidence which I reposed in him, and to the full authority and power conferred on him for the purpose of obtaining your liberation; this power, which I am about to manifest by the present royal decree, and to confirm in his person, extending it at the same time to all the other provinces of my kingdom of Naples, in which the British troops may arrive, under his command. The recent battle which he fought in Campo di Maida, before your eyes, against the French army, and the total defeat of the latter, will be an event for ever memorable in the history of the times, and an eternal monument of the valor of the illustrious general Stuart, and his brave troops. He, in my royal name, will continue to attend to your defence and security, and to direct the operations which are to take place for the restoration of good order, and of my royal authority, and also for your advantage. Through him will be announced to you my royal determinations, tending to accomplish the above mentioned objects.
You, therefore, beloved people of Calabria, and of the other provinces of my kingdom of Naples, in which general Stuart shall arrive with his victorious army—you, who have at all times given consistent proofs of your fidelity and attachment to my royal person, execute with good will whatever you may be ordered to do by this gallant general in my royal name. Hasten to support him with all your forces and means. Aid in every way his operations, which are directed to your relief and security, and be persuaded that I shall leave no means untried to prevent your peace from being again disturbed, and to secure to you and your families the enjoyment of days more joyful and less hazardous.
Given at Palermo, July 10, 1806. (Signed) FERDINAND.
GRIEFSWALD, August 7.
The following is the speech with which his majesty this day opened the diet at this place:
"It is with the most agreeable feelings that I see you assembled before my throne, to confirm with you the bond of that sacred union, founded upon the necessities of my German estate, and which promise peace and content to your and to my posterity. Your welfare was the only object I had in view, when I formed the resolution of giving you the same constitution with the rest of my kingdom, and, by that means, to unite you closer with the remainder of my faithful subjects.
"I now declare to you, that your welfare is the only object I have in view, and therefore I shall make no further mention of those events which have preceded a change so necessary in the constitution, as this might awaken a recollection of those scenes, which, at this time, should be carefully consigned to oblivion.
"I think it necessary also to declare upon this solemn occasion, that this change of the constitution will by no means separate my faithful subjects from their connection with the holy Roman empire. Nor far be it from me, at this juncture, to exhibit any such example!
"You are to confirm the union which connects you and myself so closely together, after the manner of your forefathers.

Good sirs, knights and gentlemen, let the examples of the virtue, honor, love, fidelity and courage of your predecessors, at all times, continue to operate upon your fellow citizens, together with your estimable veneration for your king and country. You will thus most worthily acquit yourselves of your duties as knights and gentlemen.
You, good men of the venerable priesthood, your important calling obliges you to practise every virtue, which is inseparable from loyal subjects and citizens. I have only to express the wish that your pure zeal and the indefatigable exertions in your vocation to diffuse the benevolent light of true christianity, may dissipate false principles of every kind, which are sometimes the offspring of ignorance and profaneness.
Good and laudable citizens you possess riches and power; apply them to the public good. May integrity, useful institutions, frugal economy and moderate prosperity, be the fruit of those advantages which belong to your rank in life.
You, good men of the order of peerage, let the fear of God, industry, activity, and your ancient good faith, be at all times the most certain pledges of that distinguished esteem which belongs to your rank, by whose labors all the rest are supported. Equal your Swedish fellow-citizens in that unalterable fidelity and devotion which they have ever shewn for their sovereigns.
This is all that I require of you; and if you answer my expectations you will fulfil those duties in the best manner which you owe to me and your country, as well as the oath which I now tender you to take, consistently with the laws of Sweden.
Of this oath, however, it becomes me to give you the example; and I now pledge my royal assurance before the king of kings—and which oath shall at this time be administered to me in your mother tongue.
To reign happily over a people who have distinguished themselves so worthily in the fear of God, their fidelity to their king, and unity among themselves, I have only to wish you the grace and blessing of the Almighty; and I assure you and every one of you of my royal favor and consideration."
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, November 1. Captain Cook, of the sloop Sally, 9 days from St. Thomas, informs us, that two days before he left that port, a British fleet of nine sail, including ships of the line and frigates, left Barbadoes to make an attack upon Carraccas. This news was brought from Barbadoes to St. Thomas by a packet which had only two days passage, and which had been specially dispatched at the time the fleet sailed.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.
On Saturday arrived the schooner Emily, Lauderbrun, from St. Thomas, with whom came passengers, captain Sulgar, and Mr. Thomas, merchant, both late of the sloop Rising Sun of this port, which vessel they sold at St. Thomas. By the attention of captain S. we are furnished with a newspaper giving the following account of the fire at that island, to which he adds orally, that there were in the conflagration, two hundred and fifty two houses and stores destroyed, with a great variety of European, East and West India goods, the loss is estimated from two to 5 millions of dollars. The loss of the stores and goods we are told, has chiefly fallen on the European factors and Merchants, and that captain Vanneman and Mr. Trotten, who have lost their all, are the only Americans who have materially suffered.
St. Thomas, Oct. 14.
The quick re-establishment of the town of St. Thomas, had scarcely made the inhabitants forget the disastrous night of the 22d of November eighteen hundred and four, when a fresh fire has renewed that painful scene, and consumed a rich quarter of the town:—
A fire broke out about half past seven in the evening of the first instant, in a store situated in the market place, which is about the centre of this town. Notwithstanding the quick succor, which the civil authorities brought in conjunction with the inhabitants, it was impossible to confine the flames; they extended in such quickness to a pretty large circumference, that scarcely any thing was saved. The houses of Messrs. Lange and Suffran constructed with bricks and not yet covered, put a stop to the flames in the eastern quarter; and those of Messrs. Murphey and Pencke,
the latter being a brick house and fire proof happily succeeded in the western quarter. A light breeze springing up about eleven o'clock caused the flames to break out in the Northern quarter and spread themselves to a considerable extent. The ravages did not stop in this quarter but for some vacant lots and the demolition of some buildings which being inconsiderable were soon pulled down. It is supposed that more than a fourth part of the town has been consumed. The two extremities are fortunately saved, but the centre which was newly and handsomely built new discoveries but the standing walls, and a space covered with the ashes of merchandises, furniture and precious effects to a very considerable amount.
The fire lasted till about ten minutes past twelve, and was perceived at Saint Croix.
The greatest order reigned during this unfortunate night: the rest of the town owes not less its safety to the exertions of the civil authorities and inhabitants, than to the favorable circumstances by which they were seconded.
We are indebted to the politeness of capt. Thomas Russell, who arrived on Saturday last, in the Hamilton Moore, from Falmouth, for the following account of the proceedings of Jerome Bonaparte, a short time previous to, and after his separation from the rest of the squadron: Captain Russell sailed from Nassau, N. P. on the 21st of July, in the British sch'r Success, with a cargo of sugar and molasses, &c. for Philadelphia. On the 25th July, off Hatteras, was captured by the French squadron; himself and crew taken on board the Veteran, commanded by Jerome Bonaparte; after taking out 50 casks and a few sails, sunk the sch'r. On the 29th, they captured the schooner William, Perry, from St. Domingo, for Baltimore, with a cargo of coffee; took out 200 bags and sunk her. While they were employed in removing the coffee on board the Veteran, several sail hove in sight, which the admiral supposing to be a fleet from St. Domingo, made the signal to give them chase; but Jerome did not obey it; and, soon after, calling his officers about, they all determined to quit the squadron, and make the best of their way home; accordingly were ship and stood on to the eastward. Captain R. understood that Jerome had frequently applied to the admiral for permission to return, but had been peremptorily refused, and ordered to remain in the fleet. On the 10th August, fell in with and burnt a British brig from Newfoundland for Oporto.
On the 16th August, lat 44, long. 36, fell in with the homeward bound Quebec fleet, of 16 sail, 7 of which he captured, and after taking out the crews, set fire to them, with all sail set, colours flying, &c. 3 of the ships were loaded with spars, others with furs, skins, &c. Their cargoes were not of much value, but captain Russell states, they were all fine new ships. On the 17th August, fell in with the ship Alert of Boston, for Amsterdam, on board of which vessel he put the English captains and passengers, thirty-seven in number, without furnishing them with a single drop of water, or provisions of any kind. The captain of the Alert remonstrated against such proceedings, and informed, that he had but 3 puncheons of water on board, requesting a further supply. In answer, he was ordered to steer ssw. all night; and threatened, that if they fell in with him again, they would sink the ship. On the 17th, spoke the ship Aberdeen from Norfolk, who took out eighteen of the Englishmen, and landed them at Falmouth on the 27th August.
Captain Russell further informs, that captain Perry, and Mr. Snow, the supercargo, of the schr. William, were treated with great cruelty by Jerome: they were robbed of their clothes, kept in irons for several days, and very much abused. It was his intention to take them to France, and have them tried for trading with the brigands.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5.
The Church Wardens of the Episcopal Church, respectfully inform the Congregation that the Rev. Mr. Dunn will perform Divine Service at Church on Sunday next.
The following, says a Georgia paper, is extracted from the 15th article of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, which does not expire till the 19th of Nov. 1806:
"Nor shall any prohibition be imposed on the exportation or importation of any articles to or from the territories of the two parties respectively, which shall not be extended to all other nations."
As a treaty is the supreme law of the land—and as the British treaty has not been annulled—we should humbly presume that the non-importation law could not go into operation until the 19th of Nov. at least; and if goods were seized, might not the treaty be brought as evidence by the defendants?

Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRASSHAW . He is about 36 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches or 6 feet high, of a tawny complexion, has a scar on one of his jaws or side of his face forming a half circle; I think it is on the right, but am not positive. He is a slim made fellow, with a bushy head, and when spoken to has a scary and down look. When he went away he had a green round coat, buff colored breeches, with homespun stockings, and has never been accustomed to any work but in the crop or field. I have understood he has crossed the Potomac about Britain's Bay , over into Maryland . I expect he has procured a pass and will endeavor to appear as a freeman.
All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harboring or carrying him away under the penalty of the law.
I will give Twenty Dollars reward if taken in Maryland , or Fifteen if taken in the North neck, so that I get him again. George Christopher. Westmoreland County, Virg. } 14th September. } 39  df
