PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION. THE WORKS OF DR. BENJ. FRANKLIN; Philosophical, Political and Literary. HOMINUM RERUMQUE REPERTOR.
THIS edition will be published from the copies revised and corrected by Dr. Franklin, (the corrections of which are in the hand writing of the author,) now in the possession of the editor of the Aurora.
Various compilations of the miscellaneous papers, on philosophical, moral, and political subjects, have been published in England, and France, and in other parts of Europe; those which had appeared before the decease of the venerable sage, abounded with errors, which with his never-ending industry in the close of his years, he collected, revised, and corrected. Three several copies were made by his grandson the late Benjamin Franklin Bache... how two of the copies were disposed of is not known, but one was committed to Wm. Temple Franklin for publication... this copy is said to have been purchased by the British government, for the purpose of being suppressed... certainly it has never been published, though the present proposer has in his possession letters of Wm. Temple Franklin which fixed the period of the appearance of the work, and at the same time in England, France, and Germany... the proof impressions were to be forwarded to America, that a correct edition might appear on their native soil at the same time, and thereby supersede spurious editions... The period intimated now has passed ten years.
As soon as it was known that the work was suppressed, the present proposer, determined to turn his attention to the collection of all accessible materials, in order to their preservation for a future day; and in this he has been more successful than he could at first possibly have anticipated; and will now be able to offer to the public an edition more ample and authentic than any that can now be given, or that ever can be given, unless the work suppressed, should, in the lapse of years, (when enmity to his memory has ceased with the envy and malignity of his contemporaries,) be produced to the world; from the hands in which it has fallen, this can hardly ever be expected.
The edition now proposed to be published will differ from former compilations, in the following particulars:—
 1. It will contain a considerable number of interesting articles, that have not appeared in any former edition.  2. It will contain a variety of articles, from manuscripts, which have never appeared in print.  3. The errors of essays formerly published, will be corrected in this, from the copies which the editor possesses, the corrections in the hand writing of the author.  4. Blanks will be filled up which were justly complained of in former editions of his miscellaneous essays; and many dates erroneously set down will be rectified.  5. Encyclopaedic notes will be given on many points, which for other editors have left unexplained.  6. The Biographical Memoirs which have hitherto been published in a mutilated state, will be corrected, and rendered more ample and complete.  7. The work will be ornamented with numerous engravings, a vignette to each volume... a whole length portrait from the best likeness allowed to be in existence.  8. And the style of the printing and ornamenting shall be equal to any thing issued from the American press.  The whole will now be carefully collated... the new papers will form two additional volumes... the authentic papers already printed form three, so that the whole will be comprised in five volumes;... it is intended to begin with the second volume, which will be put to press on the first of November, and to publish the biography last, so that such additional particulars as may throw any light on the life of this great man, may be engrafted on his memoirs.
Gentlemen who may be possessed of authentic or original papers, or correspondence of Dr. F. will render public service by communicating them to the editor, who will cheerfully defray the expenses of postage.
CONDITIONS.
The work shall be elegantly printed, on a new small pica type, and pale vellum paper, in large octavo.
To be ornamented with numerous engravings, a vignette to each volume,—and a whole length portrait from the best likeness allowed to be in existence.
The price of each volume will be 2 dollars 50 cents in boards, payable on delivery of each volume on y.
Subscriptions will be received by the publisher, during his stay in Richmond, at the Washington Tavern.
REVISED CODE.
SECOND VOLUME.
THE SUBSCRIBERS to the SECOND VOLUME of the REVISED CODE and the public in general, are respectfully informed, that with a view to render the work in every respect worthy of the public patronage, large fonts of entirely new type composing every description of letter necessary for such a work, were at an early period, ordered from the foundry of Messrs. Binney and Ronaldson, at Philadelphia. An unexpected delay in complying with that order, has produced a correspondent delay in the publication of the book; but the materials are now shipped and will no doubt be received in a few days. The patrons of the work may be assured that ample compensation will be made, by the superior style in which the typographical part will be executed, and the additional matter which will be comprehended in the volume. For, besides embracing every subject stated in the prospectus, it is intended to insert the Acts of the next Session of the General Assembly. Except those Acts, the volume will be completed before the meeting of the next Legislature; after which a very short period will elapse before it is ready for delivery; and with all those improvements it will be furnished to subscribers at the original price. To non-subscribers, however, the price will be considerably advanced.

PROPOSAL
By SAMUEL PLEASANTS, Jr.
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, VOLUME SECOND
OF THE
REVISED CODE;
CONTAINING
A collection of all such Acts of the General Assembly of Virginia of a public and permanent nature, as have been passed since the session of 1801; to which will be added, such acts of the same nature as may be passed at the session of 1807.
TOGETHER WITH AN APPENDIX,
In which will be inserted,
 I. Such Public Acts as have been omitted in the last edition of the Revised Code.  II. A compilation of the several laws for the establishment of the James River, Potomac, Appomattox and Dismal Swamp Canal companies; in all of which the state has an interest.  III. Acts for the establishment of the Mutual Assurance Society against fire on buildings of the state of Virginia.  IV. Laws concerning the Northern Neck.  V.

TERMS.
 I. It shall be printed on an entire new type, of a size larger than that used in the last edition of the Revised Code, published in 1803.  II. The paper shall be of good quality, and the book, when bound, will form a volume of large octavo, to match the first volume of the same work. The number of pages cannot be ascertained, though it is expected, from the matter of which the book will be composed, (there being one hundred and two new chapters in the continuation from 1801 to 1806, and upwards of one hundred omitted acts) that it will contain nearly as many pages as the last edition.  III. The price to subscribers will be FIVE DOLLARS, to be paid on delivery of the book—to non-subscribers the price will be considerably increased.  * Subscriptions are received by the publisher in Richmond.
SUBSCRIBERS to the second volume of the Revised Code of Virginia Laws (now printing) who have not yet procured the FIRST volume, will be furnished with the latter at the original subscription price, SIX DOLLARS.

ON THE HUMAN CHARACTER OF JESUS CHRIST.
By WILLIAM AUSTIN.
Boston, Printed for William Peabody—1807.
ADVERTISEMENT.
The following essay, I am sensible, is but a sketch. If it have merit, it will be attributed to the design, rather than to the execution. The subject is worthy the hand of a master, and is still open to much philosophical research. I have endeavored to explain a new, but indeed, source of argument in favor of the Divinity of JESUS CHRIST. For my support, I have relied on human nature, and strengthened my proofs by illustration and parallel, so far as illustration and parallel could be applicable to the character. I thought it possible to render the subject amusing, as well as interesting, to piety. Let the public judge.
FROM THE AURORA.
AFFAIRS WITH ENGLAND.
WHEN the British cruisers commenced depredations upon American commerce, in 1795, and carried them to an enormous extent in 1795-6, the Aurora denounced the violation of justice, treaties and neutral rights, in a bold and manly tone. That there was foundation for its appeals, no one, at this day, will dispute; and, if any were so disposed from ignorance or prejudice, the simple fact, of the recovery for these violations, obtained under Mr. Jefferson's administration, would determine the points at once.
At that time, the denunciation of British pillage, by this paper, was attributed to a French influence, to corruption, and to a desire to engage the United States in war on the side of France. The calumnies, then circulated, have long since accompanied those who circulated them, into merited contempt.
The opposition of the Aurora, at the present time, can be attributed to no such influence, as was formerly said to govern it—this is perhaps the only paper in this country, of which the French government under Bonaparte, thought it necessary to complain to our government; and, if our institutions were as flexible and tyrannical as those of Britain, there is no doubt but punishment would have followed, as it did a complaint against Peltier in England. For France we care no more than for England or any other nation—unless her more just conduct and policy towards this country shall entitle her to it, of the form of its government and of the means by which it was erected, we entertain the same opinions that we have ever held and expressed.
It is now again circulated, by the agents of the British government, that we wish for war with England, and that we would starve the English people, and colonists—but the whole object of our remarks has uniformly been to maintain peace: If we wanted war, we would join in the call for ships and fortifications, because these would produce it—and we would not recommend on any other ground, than that of self defence, a cessation of all intercourse, which would necessarily cut off supplies of many necessities of life.
But we have, from time to time, pointed out to the British agents, our actual ability to avenge the outrages and insults of England, with a view of deterring them from encouraging this hostility, and in the next place to show our yeomanry the power they had in their hands—this admonition, if it has had no effect, is but another evidence of British infatuation, that may be in the end destructive.
If we can obtain little or no justice, under the late administration of Britain, which our federalists termed highly liberal—if one of our most important demands, the safety of our seamen, was refused by that ministry, surely we can have no manner of hope from their successors, whom Cullen, a hired writer in this country for English purposes, describes as "made up of the spawn of corruption; men, who are calculated for nothing else than to bring disgrace and ruin on Britain." From such men as Harry Dundas, Castlereagh, Percival, & Rose, we can expect no change of policy, if they find it their interest to tolerate the plunder & oppression we now suffer.
The most prejudiced partisan of England must allow, that the administration of this country has acted in the most conciliatory and forbearing manner, under all the hostilities of Britain—so much so, indeed, that the very men, who are supported in our cities by British secret service money or indirect patronage, have one and all denounced the government as weak and cowardly—and, as if the British ministry credited these aspersions, conciliation and forbearance on our part have been met with an increase of oppression and indignity on the other.
To suppose, that this state of worse than colonial vassalage, will be borne much longer, would be to sanction and believe the British abuse. We have no sort of expectation that our ministers will be able to conclude a treaty; and our country should prepare for the consequences of greater outrages—for resistance. The resistance we mean is, in the first instance, a partial non-importation, and in the event of its failure (which we do not apprehend) the suspension of intercourse.—We cannot too often repeat, this is the best and the safest policy—or too often repeat and impress upon the minds of our readers facts that prove it to be so.
Cullen, who stands in the shoes of Cobett, and is therefore the foremost British authority, affects to laugh at such resistance—he cannot meet the matter on any serious ground, and may therefore be excused; he makes the best stand he can. This hiring, however, when the non-importation act was discussing in congress, predicted that the consequences of its enactment would be actual hostilities—and why, if this law could injure the United States alone? Why make war upon us, if this law would not prejudice England? Neither ridicule nor sophistry can conceal the fact, or inference.
"Non-importation (says Cullen) produces non-exportation, and both together produce the abolition of commerce."
Whether the meaning of this is, that we cannot find any other market than Britain for what we export, or that the British will not allow us to export to any other nation, we cannot say—we presume the latter.
But affairs will never arrive at this point. As we have before shown and shall
hereafter show, we can do without British manufactures, we can get substitutes in other countries, or in an extreme case can furnish ourselves.
But the British can neither obtain from others what we supply them with, nor can they get such another customer, for their manufactures—they live by commerce and manufactures, we are not dependent on either or on both.
Why do not some of the British emissaries examine and contest these primary points? For the best of reasons, they cannot.
It is said indeed, that Britain is an excellent customer for our productions, and so she is, but from no favor or affection for us; she cannot get such productions as ours elsewhere, she cannot exist without us—but here information stops, the British agents take care not to add, in what way our flour, cotton, and other export articles are paid for, they never mention the most important of all facts, that we are paid in manufactured goods.
Our flour and cotton are indispensably necessary to the existence of the British people and nation—none can be had elsewhere: British manufactures we can dispense with, then what are the consequences?
If we refuse to take British manufactures. Britain must pay us in specie for our flour, &c. The British minister Adington acknowledged in parliament, that within a few years 23,000,000l sterling in specie, had been sent to the Baltic, for the purchase of flour.
And the reason why Britain sent specie was, that the proceeds of sales of all her manufactured goods would not pay for the necessities of life required by her manufacturers.
The Baltic being now closed, renders her still more dependent upon us, and in this consists our strength.
If we refuse to take her manufactures, she must pay us cash for our flour, which she can not do without.
If we refuse her manufactures, her means of payment are lessened in a still greater degree; for if her sales did not equal her payments, when she had the trade to the Baltic, and Hamburg, what a woeful condition she must be in when shut out of the Baltic and America together.
Without our flour, beef, pork &c. starvation or insurrection at home and in the colonies would be the inevitable result. Can this be denied.
Britain now pays in manufactures, and if we refuse manufactures, she must pay us in specie, and where is this to come from? Will any one answer?
There is not a bank in England that will give specie for its own notes—the bank of England is prohibited from doing so—the intent of this is to conceal the real condition of the country.
What better proofs can be had of the power in our hands?—What can more strongly establish our position, than by the putting in force for six months even partial commercial restrictions we can gain more than by all the force we could otherwise exercise.
Let us repeat—the demand for the necessities of life is so great in England, that exclusive of the quantity of those necessities obtained by the exchange of her manufactures in Germany and in America she was compelled to send within a few years, twenty three million pounds sterling in gold and silver, to the continent, in order to buy them—at a time when no gold or silver could be had at her banks, when a guinea was a curiosity.
Farmers and mechanics of America, men of understanding of every party do you for an instant suppose, that under such circumstances, England dare to go to war with us.—That she dare to retaliate for our peaceful and justifiable mode of defence—especially when she has no market but ours to get necessaries of life from, and when we take her manufactures in payment to the full amount of what her absolute necessities demand?
Indeed, so evident is our utility and her dependence, that the utmost astonishment must be excited in those, who reflect upon the treatment that we experience. Instead of plundering our country and government, every act ought to be dictated by friendship and good will—we ask no more than common justice, and are refused; we threaten and are laughed at, and why? Because it is supposed we are sunk so deeply in commercial thralldom, that the mere apprehension of capture by British cruisers will prevent our so far of resentment. The question must soon be tried, whether the honor and the interest of the American nation or the aggrandizement of the commercial class, many of which are not Americans in any sense are to predominate?
But we again say—there need not be any apprehension of hostilities, the merchants will not lose a ship or a voyage—let them join in adopting a short and temporary privation, as the best way to stop an increasing injury. It is the appearance of doubt in ourselves; it is the talking so much of doing something & the not doing anything, that has kept us thus long without dress.
They tell us that our government is pusillanimous or it would use force; that is, cease to negotiate and resort to war.
They tell us that war would be an open and manly way of proceeding; and that, at present we show no sort of spirit or dignity.
And yet, the moment a non-importation act is spoken of, they tell us—if you pass it, Britain will declare war; as if it made any difference how the war was begun. They call for war, and the next moment represent its terrible consequences—an inconsistency that at once exposes the fallacy of their professions.
"Build ships and forts (say they) go to exercise, run in debt"—and "why do they say so, that we may be more at the mercy of the British, less on our own masters."
Ships and forts will not stop British insolence—the history of modern Europe proves this—let us try other means, and use a weapon that shall defend ourselves and at the same time do our oppressors the greatest injury: we have only to raise it, and without a blow we shall vanquish.
Let us hear from our opponents in what particulars we are incorrect, either as to facts or inferences. Their remarks on the consequences of a non-importation from Britain, we shall notice on another day.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, March 28.
The following intelligence, dated the 3d of March, has been received from Constantinople On the 28th of February, the English attempted a landing on Prince's Island, but it miscarried. Their loss on the occasion is stated at 400 killed and wounded, and 200 taken prisoners. The following day the fleet weighed anchor, and proceeded to the Dardanelles.
The number of Turks who took up arms in Constantinople and its vicinity, amounted to 100,000. Public order was not in the least disturbed in that city. The grand seignior had not shown the slightest disposition to leave the place, as had been falsely asserted.
April 15
Government, it is said, received authentic advice yesterday, by way of Hamburg, that 11 Turkish ships of the line had been burnt in the Dardanelles, by the boats of the British squadron.
The fire by which his majesty's ship Ajax has been destroyed was merely accidental. It took place below deck, and after burning for some time reached the magazine, when she blew up. Capt. Blackwood, who had ascended to the sprit sail yard, had just escaped before the explosion took place. The ship was cruising in the Archipelago at the same time.
The Porte continues its preparations of defence with additional ardor. Numerous batteries are established along the European and Asiatic coasts, on which several hundred pieces of cannon will be placed. Every great officer of the Porte, even the Reis Effendi, had his post assigned to him in the line of defence. The Grand Seignior has personally repaired to the works, to animate the laborers by his presence. The captain Pacha, and the Tesserdar of marine, have been displaced and banished to Rodosto. Hadachi Ibrahim-Effendi has been appointed first secretary of the admiralty. The Bosporus squadron has been recalled. Every vessel in the arsenal fit for service, has been sent to Topham, to be got ready among the Janissaries.
April 17
According to accounts from Dantzic dated the 27th of March, the French have cut off all communication between that place and Konigsberg. At first a bombardment was feared, and a corps was formed, intended, in that case, to protect the rich magazines, which for the most part are situated close to each other. Those which are at Elbing have been removed to Thorn. Gen. Kalckreuth, according to the ancient custom of war, announced his arrival at Dantzic to the French general, the latter replied to this politeness by testifying a wish that some accommodation might be agreed on between them to save the city from the horrors of a bombardment; but the Prussian general returned for answer, that he was determined to bury himself under the ruins of the city, rather than surrender it.
SIXTY-SEVENTH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
Osterode, March 25.
On the 14th inst. at three in the afternoon, the garrison of Osterode, taking advantage of a fog, made a sortie with two thousand infantry, and six pieces of cannon, in order to carry a redoubt thrown up by general Dupas. The redoubt, which was opened, without palisades and without cannon, was defended by a company of voltigeurs, of the 4th of the line (light infantry,) under capt. Barral, they resisted all the attempts of the Swedish brigade. Fifteen Swedish soldiers reached the parapet, but there found their death. All the enemy's attempts were equally fruitless. Sixty two dead bodies of the Swedes were buried at the foot of the redoubt. It is supposed that 120 were wounded, and fifty were made prisoners, though there were no more than 150 men in the redoubt. Several Swedish officers were found among the dead, distinguished by their military decorations. This instance of bravery has attracted the emperor's attention. His majesty has sent three orders of the legion of honor for the companies engaged. Captain Drivet, who commanded on this weak redoubt, lightly distinguished himself.
On the 20th, marshal Lefebvre ordered the brigade under general Schram to cross over from the island of Nogat, in the Frisch Hoff, in order to cut off the communication between Dantzic and the sea. These orders were carried into execution at three in the morning. The Prussians were routed, and 300 of them fell into our hands.
At six in the evening the garrison of Dantzic sent out a detachment of 4000 men to retake the post; but they were repulsed with the loss of some hundreds of prisoners, and one piece of cannon. Gen. Schram had under his command the 2d battalion of the 2d regiment of infantry, and several Saxon battalions, who distinguished themselves. The emperor has sent three orders of the legion of honor to be distributed among the Saxon officers; and three more for the privates, subalterns, and the major who command them. In Silesia, the garrison of Niess has made a sortie but fell into an ambush. A regiment of Wurttemberg cavalry took those troops in flank, killed 50, and made 60 prisoners.
The win in Poland seems to have resembled the winter in Paris, that is to say, variable. It freezes and snows in a ternate succession. However, we have the good fortune not to have any sick in the army. On the contrary, all accounts agree that the Russians have a great number sick. The army remains tranquil in its cantonments. The works which compose the tete du pont of Sierock, Modlin, Praga, Marenburg, and Marienwerder are every day becoming more formidable; and the magazines are organized, and are every where receiving provisions. Three hundred thousand bottles of Bordeaux-wine were found at Elbing; and though each bottle cost 4 francs, the emperor paid that price to the merchants and ordered the wine to be distributed among the army.
The emperor has sent the prince Borghese upon a mission to Warsaw.
SIXTY-EIGHTH BULLETIN.
Osterode, March 29.
On the 17th of March at three o'clock in the morning, the general of brigade Lefebvre, aide-de-camp to prince Jerome, passed near Glatz, in his way to Wunscheibourg, with three squadrons of light horse, and the Taxis regiment of light infantry, when 1500 men, with twenty pieces of cannon made a sortie from the place. Lieut. col. Gerard immediately attacked and drove them back into Glatz, after having taken 100 soldiers, several officers, and two pieces of artillery.
Marshal Marenta is gone from Wilsensbourg to division of Becker's dragoons, which he has reinforced with a detachment of Polish horse. There were some Cossacks at Orelsbourg, several attacks were made in which the enemy lost 20 men.
General Becker, as he was coming to resume his position at Wilsensbourg, was attacked by two thousand Cossacks. An ambuscade of infantry was formed, into which they fell, and lost 200 men.
On the 26th, at 5 o'clock in the morning, the garrison of Dantzic made a general sortie, which
proved very fatal. It was repulsed on all sides. A colonel named Gracaw, who had a command, was taken with 400 men, and two pieces of cannon, in an attack made by the 19th regiment of Chasseurs.
As for the rest, there is nothing new. The lakes are still frozen; though there is some appearance of the approach of spring.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN,
Of the operation of the Imperial Russian Army, from the 14th December, to the 18th March, 1807.
"Baron De Benningen having, after the battle of Pultusk, effected his junction with the troops under orders of Count Buxhowden, obtained a short time after the command in chief. The whole army then made a movement on the right; the object of which was to protect Regal-Prussia, and to stop the corps of marshals Ney and Bernadotte, which threatened Konigsberg. Altho' this march lay through a country intersected with morasses and small rivers, the passage of which became more difficult on account of the cold, and of the thaw which often separated the different divisions of the army to a considerable distance from each other; nevertheless, the defeat which the French experienced at Pultusk, did not allow them to profit by those circumstances, and the army, after having concentrated itself, recommenced its operations. In the mean time, the corps of lieutenant general Esten took a position, in the environs of Brank, from whence, according to circumstances, it could cover the left wing of the grand army, and the frontiers of the empire towards Grodno and the Bug, if the enemy attempted to approach them. The 7th of January (19th, N. S.) the head quarters of Baron De Benningen were at Rhein, and the next day he advanced to Heiligen Linden. A corps of 40,000 men, under the orders of marshal Ney, comprising the guards of Bonaparte, commanded by marshal Bessiers, posted behind the Alle, endeavored to entrench themselves there, but were obliged to fall back. Another corps under the command of Bernadotte, had penetrated as far as Preussisch-Holland to rejoin the former; but being pressed by the Russian van guard, this body fled with so much precipitation, that it was impossible to attack the two corps separately.
"The 11th January, (23d, N.S.) the head quarters were at Bischoffstein. Ney and Bernadotte effected their junction, and continued their retreat in disorder, and our troops took many prisoners, who all agreed that our unexpected march to Prussia Royal, had spread the greatest alarm throughout the French army, to whom their officers had promised winter quarters, giving them to understand at the same time, that an armistice had been concluded with our generals.
"The 14th of January, (26th) general Benningen was at Liebstadt. Very brisk actions took place in the neighborhood of Mohrungen. Our advanced guard under general Marloff, attacked by the whole corps of marshal Bernadotte, at first fell back; but being reinforced by the division of lieutenant general Anrep, the enemy was repulsed with loss. He lost a great number killed and some hundreds taken prisoners. Nineteen officers, and a standard, fell into our power. Marshal Bernadotte lost all his carriages, plate, horses, &c., and only owed his safety to flight, by saving himself, in a peasant's little sledge. The inhabitants of Mohrungen cannot conceive how he escaped the Cossacks.
"The brave general Anrep was wounded on the head by a musket ball, as he was reconnoitering after the affair was over. Some sharpshooters, concealed in the bushes, singled him out; and a few hours after, this distinguished officer died, to the great regret of the whole army.
"The 15th of January, (27th) the head quarters were transferred to Mohrungen. Many skirmishes among the advanced posts were decided to our advantage, and gained us prisoners. The Prussian corps, under general L'Estocq, also gained some advantages. It took prisoners generals Poutier and Lassur. General Victor had been taken prisoner near Colberg. The garrison of Dantzic having made a sortie, routed the Polish insurgents, commanded by Dombrowsky, and took from them many pieces of cannon and a military chest.
"Bonaparte, after receiving reinforcements from the Vistula, and assembled the different corps which were falling back upon his army, concentrated himself and marched against general Benningen. The latter not thinking his position sufficiently good to risk a battle, retreated in two columns upon Worlsdorf, where he arrived on the 26d (4th Feb.)
"The two rear guards, commanded by generals Prince Bequithon and Barkly de Tolly, covered the retreat, and repulsed the repeated attack of the enemy. The next day they followed us close to Burgerwald. The rear guard had new attacks to support; but the next day, at the gates of the town of Lansberg, at one o'clock in the afternoon, a very brisk affair took place between the enemy and the corps of Barkly de Tolly, which lasted till six o'clock in the evening. The rear guard succeeded in repulsing the enemy but not being content with that, it conceived necessary to pursue them, which drew upon them three columns and obliged the general in chief to send a reinforcement of three regiments, commanded by Prince Basil Dolgoruky. The corps of 10,000 men fought for many hours against 40,000 Frenchmen, and maintained the field of battle.
"Lieut. Gen. Essen, who, in consequence of the movements of general Benningen, had repaired to Wysonie Macowick, had at first thought it sufficient to watch that corps of the enemy which was opposed to him. Although that corps was at least equal to his in number, and occupied a very advantageous position, intersected by morasses and woods, he nevertheless frequently harassed it, by sending out large detachments to attack them, and who, in all the engagements obtained important advantages, and took many prisoners. When it was known that Bonaparte had quitted Warsaw, and that he was advancing with a superior force against the army of general Benningen, Lieut. Gen. Essen, in order to make a diversion in favor of the Grand Army, attacked the enemy on the 22d of January, on the whole length of his line,
overthrew him at all points and repulsed General Savary, Souchet, and Becker as far as the Narew. The battle however, did not prevent Bonaparte from following Gen. Benningen, who having chosen behind Prussian Eylau a position which he judged proper to allow all his troops to act to advantage, and particularly his cavalry, had taken posts there, in order to await the arrival of the French army, whose advanced guard attacked incessantly and impetuously the corps of Major Gen. Barclay de Tolly. The ever memorable day of the 26th (7th February) put an end to the enemy's progress. At three in the afternoon, the battle began through the whole line of the main army. It was bloody, and the night came on without the enemy being able to gain any ground. Early on the morning of the 27th the attack was renewed by the French. Both sides fought with fury—but in the evening the enemy were repulsed on all sides, and the Russian army remained in possession of the field of battle. Bonaparte commanded in person, and under him Marshals Augereau, D'Avoust, Soult, Ney, and Bassieres at the head of the guards, who particularly suffered. We took on this day 1500 prisoners, among whom are 30 officers besides twelve stand. rds., and twenty pieces of cannon. The French Generals Corbineau, Desjardins, D'Ahlmeine, & Gudin, were killed; Augereau mortally wounded; Viel lost an arm; Suchet had his thigh broken; and Generals Hautpoul, Piccard, Friant, St. Sulpice, D'Espagne, Second, and Martin, were wounded.
"As the occupation of the town of Perusich Eylau, in front of the field of battle, formed no part of General Benningen's plan and as the army after so much fatigue, had need of rest and was also in want of warlike stores, the commander in chief entrenched himself in the environs of Mulhausen, established his head quarters at Konigsberg, and left L. Gen. Platow, who arrived two days after the battle with 15000 Cossacks, to harass the French in their retreat. The enemy on quitting the positions which he occupied, abandoned his sick and wounded.
"On the 9th (21st) of February, the Cossacks advanced towards the environs of Liebstadt, took several hundred prisoners, four officers and a number of baggage waggons, and even forage and provisions. A detachment of nearly two thousand Russian and Prussian prisoners, who were on their route to Warsaw, were delivered; and some hundreds of horse chasseurs, who escorted them, were either killed or taken.
"On the 15th (27th) February, the Russian head quarters were at Landsburg. In various petty encounters the Cossacks took some hundreds of prisoners. The garrison of Dantzic defeated the insurgents under Dombrowsky. General Platow who was constantly in pursuit of the enemy, took from him a piece of cannon, some waggons, and a good deal of baggage. On this day, the number of prisoners taken from the French army, after the battle, and during its retreat from Preussisch Eylau, amounted to two thousand soldiers and forty-eight officers.
"The head quarters remained at Landsburg, on the 16th (28th) of February: Gen. L'Estocq's corps of Prussians found itself opposed to that of Bernadotte, between Mehlsack and Heiligenbeil. The enemy retired behind the Passarge. They must have evacuated Guistadt. The Cossacks drove them to the environs of Allenstein; and the engagements on this occasion, cost them 400 men, who remained on the field, and 55 prisoners. One hundred Russian prisoners were also recovered.
"On the 17th of February, (1st of March) major general Knorting attacked the enemy at Allenstein, beat them, killed a great number, took 50, and delivered 200 Russians.
"The army remained in the same position on the two following days. Count Telszky's corps formed the left flank at Bichopstein.
"On the 20th February (4th March) there were some affairs of out posts. Two officers, a secretary and 74 soldiers were taken. The army kept the same position till the 26th February (10th March) during which time there were only affairs of out-posts.
"On the 24th February (8th March) the demonstrations of the French army obliged the commander in chief to concentrate all his forces before Heilsberg. There was an affair between the advanced posts, at the close of which the enemy were repulsed, and pursued by the Cossacks. The head quarters were removed to Barters-dein—Bonaparte still at Osterode.
"On the 1st (13th) of March, General De Wittgenstein, having advanced with a detachment to the environs of Neidenburg and Ortelsburg, carried off from thence the enemy's patrols, and took prisoners Lieut. Colonel Le Grange, and aide-de-camp to General Ney, and a Major commander of a regiment of chasseurs. These advantages having attracted the attention of the French they advanced in force to these points, and general Platow was detached, with eight regiments of Cossacks to support gen. Wittgenstein, which induced the enemy to retreat.
"The army remained in the same position on the 4th (16th) March. Murat advanced with 12 regiments of infantry and cavalry, to Bischoffsbourg, whence he detached a detachment of one hundred Cossacks, who, nevertheless, in their retreat made 50 prisoners. In consequence gen. Platow received orders to repair to the spot with 5000 Cossacks, but the French did not wait his arrival.
"March 6 (18)—According to the latest advices Bonaparte is still at Osterode; D'Avoust at Allenstein; Ney at Guttstadt; Soult at Liebstadt; and Bernadotte in the neighborhood of Wormditt. Murat makes incursions in the neighborhood of Wartenburg and Willensbourg. Fassenheim, Ortelsburg and Willensbourg. According to the best information we have of the French cavalry, it is supposed that Murat makes his incursions for the purpose of procuring forage.—Gen. Platow, with a considerable corps, is on the point of cutting off all the French detachments which are beyond this little town."

RALEIGH, (N. C.) June 5.
To the President of the United States.
SIR, UNDER divine protection, the ministers and messengers of the several Baptist churches of the North Carolina Chowan Association, held at Salem, on Newbigin creek, in Pasquotank county, in the district of Edenton, and state of North Carolina, having met by appointment to offer the sacrifices of a broken and contrite heart to the great author of their being, for the unbounded display of goodness, and tender mercies bestowed upon the children of men; and while rendering adoration, prayer and thanksgiving, with deep humility, for the great and unspeakable gift which brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, they feel a profound sense of the bounty received by the hands of the SUPREME towards the several churches in our connection, by the over-powering of the spirit upon them; not only in effecting a great increase of numbers, but in the substantial interest of the churches being supported and strengthened by a very great and uncommon measure of christian love, union and harmony among the brethren. While we have great cause of thankfulness for all these bounties and mercies, we have felt the deepest gratitude to be due for the civil and religious liberties we enjoy under the administration of the government, over which you, sir, at present preside: For which liberties our fathers have, in times past, suffered at the stake, have bled and died.
The sense of contrast between the present moment and a late period when we were feelingly alarmed at the threatened invasion upon the general toleration of a free conscience in the worship of the God of our fathers; we have now great reason to shout with loud acclamations of joy and praise that we can live under our own vine, and under our own fig-tree in peace: And while we pray that the sons of liberty may be long held at the helm of government, to rule & govern these United States, we feel the strongest emotions to be thankful that under your patronage and administration, 'There is none shall make us afraid.'
Living under a government of our own choice, where the rights of men feel an equal and impartial distribution, how much ought we to rejoice at the envied happiness and freedom of our fellow citizens, throughout these states, unrivalled and unequalled by any nation on this terrestrial globe and in the midst of national wealth, prosperity and peace, added to extent of empire under the wise policy of your administration. We feel no danger of your violating your trust, or attempting to endanger the happiness of the people who have chosen you as their chief and head. And while our prayers & praises are due to the sovereign ruler of the universe, who has made you an instrument in his hands to give such blessings to such a people, we pray that the God of Battles may be your sun and shield; that he may give you grace and glory and that he may withhold no good thing from you. And may we devoutly be permitted to add our prayers to the great disposer of events, if it is his will that life devoted to public good from the commencement of our glorious revolution to the present day, may be prolonged with blessings to yourself and common country.
Signed by order and on behalf of the association, GEORGE OUTLAW, Moderator. LEMUEL BURKITT, Clerk. Pasquotank, May 20, 1806.
Washington, June 24, 1806.
SIR, I HAVE duly received the address signed by yourselves on behalf of the ministers and messengers of the several Baptist churches of the North Carolina Chowan association held at Salem, and I proffer my thanks for the favorable sentiments which it expresses towards myself personally. The happiness which our country enjoys in the pursuits of peace and industry ought to endear that course to all its citizens, and to kindle their hearts with gratitude to the being under whose providence these blessings are held. We owe to him especial thanks for the right we enjoy to worship him, every one in his own way, and that we have been singled out, to prove by experience the innocence of freedom in religious opinions and exercises, the power of reason to maintain itself against error, and the comfort of living under laws, which assure us that, in these things, 'There is none who shall make us afraid.'
I am peculiarly gratified by the confidence you express that no attempt will ever be made by me to violate the trust reposed in me by my fellow-citizens; or to endanger their happiness. In this confidence you shall never be disappointed. My heart never felt a wish unfriendly to the general good of my fellow-citizens.
Be so kind as to present my thanks to the churches of your association, and to assure them of my prayers for the continuance of every blessing to them now and hereafter: and except yourself my salutations and assurances of great respect and consideration.

A gentleman who came passenger in the ship Hannah, from New Orleans bound to Baltimore, informs, that on the 11th ultimo, General Wilkinson was at that place in perfect health, and that he did not appear as preparing to leave that place. From this circumstance, it would seem as if the General did not purpose attending Mr Burr's trial. — Herald.

ATTENTION!
THE members of the Richmond Cavalry are requested to meet at their usual parade ground near Mr. Adam Craig's, on Wednesday the 17th of the present month, at half past three o'clock, P. M. completely equipped. By order of the Captain, BENJAMIN MOSBY, Sery. Richmond June 16.

THE news from Norfolk (which will be found in this day's Argus) is strange indeed!—that Gen. Wilkinson had not left New-Orleans on the 11th of May, and that the bearer of the intelligence had heard nothing of his intending to leave it. Great joy at this report is no doubt felt by the Federalists and Burrites; but we trust they have very little cause for exultation. If Gen. Wilkinson was in fact at New-Orleans at the time specified and was not preparing for his journey to this place, it must have proceeded from his not having received the orders of the government; and that circumstance must have been occasioned by some accident's happening to the express who was sent to require his attendance, and to the mail which carried despatches to him.
We cannot believe the government to have neglected sending those orders, nor that he would have disobeyed, if he had received them. His own character is so deeply implicated in the investigation now going on at Richmond, that he would not willingly be absent, if permitted by his superiors to be present at the trial of Col. Burr; much less would he be disposed to violate their orders, and run the risk of being broke for his disobedience. If, as his enemies have insinuated, he is afraid to meet Col. Burr, and will not dare to appear as a witness against the man in whose guilt he has participated, or whose friends he has unjustly oppressed, we conceive that he would not quietly and uncondemnedly remain at New-Orleans, (in the manner described by the person who made the communication to the Editor of the Ledger) but would even forsake the service of the U. S. and go over to the Spaniards. That very circumstance proves, if the report be true, that the President's orders had not reached him. That accident, and accident only, could have occasioned this perfectly evident from the industry manifested by the officers of government to procure the attendance of the other witnesses, and the anxiety which they must feel to obtain the testimony of him who is considered as one of the most important.
That such accidents should have happened may seem wonderful to some: but, when we consider the great distance from Washington to New-Orleans; the unaccountable silence of the western mails on this subject; the unsettled state of the western territories at present; and the number of partisans of Col. Burr in those territories, (some of whom may have designedly stopped the express or intercepted the mail,) we think it not improbable they may have occurred. We think it however most probable that the report itself may be one of the numerous fabrications which are daily circulating; and that Gen. Wilkinson may yet be expected here during the present term of the Federal Court.
TRIAL
OF Col. Aaron Burr.
TUESDAY, June 9.
Present the Chief Justice of the United States, and Cyrus Griffin, District Judge.
IT will be recollected that on Wednesday last, the 3d inst. the grand jury were adjourned over to this day, at 2 o'clock. At the hour of three, all the members appeared, and their names being called over,
Mr. Hay observed that it was proper for him to inform the court, that he had received no further information respecting Gen. Wilkinson except what was contained in a Norfolk paper (the Public Ledger) received by the mail of this morning; a paragraph in which stated that a vessel had arrived there, in 27 days from New-Orleans; and that at the departure of the vessel from the latter place, which must have been about the eleventh of last month, Gen. Wilkinson was still in New-Orleans, and nothing was said as to his intention of leaving it. There were gentlemen on the grand jury just from Norfolk, who would be able to state whether the information might be relied on or not. He said that he had confidently expected Gen. Wilkinson here before this time; but that he might have been led into the mistake by the information received from Mr. Millikin, as to the progress which the express had made, when he saw the messenger on his way to New-Orleans. It was possible that in the latter part of his journey, he might not have been able to move with as much rapidity as upon his first setting out. But from a knowledge of the fact that Gen. Wilkinson was at New-Orleans, at that time, his hopes were much stronger that he would certainly be here. The express would go directly to him, and he would have nothing to do but to prepare for his journey to this place. He wished the subject might be postponed for a few days. For the sake of economy, for the sake of that justice which is due to the public & to the accused, he hoped that no objection would be made to this course. He was sorry, indeed, to make the request in the presence of the grand jury, who had already manifested so much patience; but for the reasons just mentioned, he hoped it would be granted.
Mr. Martin read an extract from a Norfolk paper, one day later in its date than that referred to by Mr. Hay, which conveyed in substance the same information. Col. Burr expressed a wish that it might not be inferred from any thing said by his worthy friend, that he was averse to the measure proposed.
The Chief Justice, after asking whether it was conjectured by the gentlemen on either side that the grand jury would be wanting before Thursday next, adjourned them to day at eleven o'clock.
The Grand Jury having retired, Col. Burr observed that he had a motion to make, to which
it was necessary to attract the attention of the court. The President, in one of his messages to Congress during its last session, had mentioned a letter from Gen. Wilkinson to himself, dated the 21st of October, as containing important information. That letter had not yet been published; and circumstances in the course of the proceedings relative to his case might require it to be produced as evidence in his favor. Moreover, attempts had been, and might again be made to infer from certain circumstances, conclusions that his intentions were criminal. It might be necessary, therefore, to produce the orders of government to the officers of the army and navy, relative to his case. He had seen the orders to the officers of the Navy, which directed them to burn and destroy his property. There was no way to procure those documents, but by requiring the attendance of the President of the United States by a writ of Subpoena duces tecum ; in which the papers demanded should be mentioned.
On this motion of Col. Burr, a desultory conversation ensued. Mr. Hay declared that the government was willing to furnish all the evidence which could be obtained from those or from any other papers in its possession; that he would consent to write to the President and other public officers for copies of the documents desired; and, upon receiving, would lay them before the judge, who might determine whether they were proper to be introduced as evidence or not.
Col. Burr and his counsel doubted, however, whether those papers would be produced, unless compulsory process should be issued, and insisted also that the original and not a copy of Gen. Wilkinson's letter was necessary to answer their purpose. The court doubted its power to issue a Subpoena duces tecum , to command the attendance of the President of the United States; and said that an argument was needful to satisfy it upon that point, which argument, it is expected, will take place to-morrow (this day) and no doubt will be more than usually interesting and important.
The court adjourned until tomorrow 11 o'clock.
Communicated for the Argus.
Abingdon, (Virginia) May 16, 1807.
A NUMBER of the gentlemen of this place, impressed with the important revolution which the discovery of the American continent produced on the state of mankind, but more especially sensible of the advantages which have resulted from the first settling of the state of Virginia, and deeming it a just tribute of veneration to the memory of the illustrious adventurers, who, in the midst of difficulties and dangers, established themselves on her shores as a colony, assembled at the courthouse; And ew Russel gentleman, was called to the chair, and David Campbell appointed secretary; when the following resolutions were adopted:—

ANDREW RUSSEL, Chairman.
Saturday, 23d May.
At one o'clock the ladies and gentlemen of Abingdon and its vicinity, and some from remote parts of the county, assembled at the courthouse. The company being seated, the two orators entered and took their seats on the judges' bench. After a pause of about one minute, Mr. Campbell rose and addressed the audience in a concise, eloquent and very appropriate oration: he was immediately followed by Mr. Thompson, who was also concise. The mode in which he treated the subject appeared new, and some parts of his oration was masterly and sublime. As it is expected those gentlemen will permit their orations to be published, we will not attempt a further delineation. Mr. Thompson having closed, the ladies retired, and the gentlemen repaired to Mr. McCormick's, and having chosen Col. Robert Campbell president, and C. Findlay, esq. vice-president, they at two o'clock sat down to an elegant dinner. After dinner the following toasts were drank, interspersed with several very beautiful songs.
1. The day.—Freedom budded like the rose—on the 4th of July '76 it was in full bloom.
2. Capt. John Smith, the protector of the settlement of Virginia, which we now celebrate.—May Americans always possess his firmness and revere his knowledge and patriotism.
3. The memory of Pocahontas—Ever to be respected by Virginians.
4. May the world during the present century follow the example of Virginia during the last, by substituting peace, agriculture, manufactures, commerce and arts, in the place of savage warfare, hunting, indolence and ignorance.
5. The state of Virginia—As the footsteps of civilization were first imprinted on her shores, may her sons never neglect its proper cultivation.
6. Education, one of the life-strings of liberty—May it hereafter meet with tenfold encouragement.
7. The Press—The scourge of tyrants.
8. The memory of Columbus and the immortal worthies of the revolution.
8. Thomas Jefferson—His country's friend, and beloved by his country.
10. James Madison—May his sterling merit never be forgotten by his country, nor his modesty esteemed a fault.
11. The fair daughters of Virginia—'Tis theirs to guide society towards virtue and refinement.—May they always justly appreciate the all important trust.
12. The Constitution—Touch it not with polluted hands.
13. The military genius of our country—May the spirit which remains latent during peace, be rekindled into a flame when occasion requires.
14. May the conduct of a Bacon of the 17th century, a Shays of the last and a Burr of the present, be lasting mementos for the public to beware of the sophistry of popular office-hunters, possessed of inordinate ambition.
15. The Bee of Connecticut—May its honey regenerate the principles of its persecutors and sweeten among its countrymen the ties of social life.
16. The liberty of the seas, or non intercourse with all nations who oppose it.
17. Union and harmony to the United States, and may virtuous and republican principles continue their polar star, so that our country may in future enjoy not only the best but most durable system of terrestrial government which God ever bestowed on mortals.
VOLUNTEERS.
By the president. Lewis & Clark—May we always keep in grateful remembrance their firmness and enterprise in exploring the western hemisphere.
By William King, esq. The memory of Governor Spottswood, the patron of the first iron works in Virginia, now an important manufacture in most of the counties west of the Blue ridge, then occupied by uninstructed aborigines, wholly unacquainted with the use of that valuable ore, which God and Nature so bountifully dispersed through their hunting grounds.
By major James White. May the benefits which the world has received from the exalted ideas of Isabella, be held in grateful remembrance by the fair daughters of America.
By major James Bradley. May the judiciary of the United States in the present trial of Aaron Burr, do honor to their country.
By capt. David Campbell. The commerce and manufactures of Abingdon—growing with the celerity and luxuriance of a southern plant.
By capt. Robert Craig, sen. The few remaining military characters of '76.
By William Thompson, esq. James Monroe—May his patriotism meet with the patronage of his county.
Here was true festive hilarity and union of sentiment till the hour arrived when the ladies were to be collected into the ball room.
At five o'clock the ladies assembled to the number of about sixty, and exhibited an elegance never before witnessed in this place, and it is believed seldom surpassed in the large cities of our country. The pleasantry which beamed in every countenance, the harmony which pervaded the whole assembly without the least alloy, and the beauty here displayed in her richest charms, was most pleasing to the benevolent heart and fascinating to the mind of him who can only taste pleasure from the purest streams of cultivated society. Thus was the evening enjoyed until ten o'clock, when the company withdrew and all was quiet and tranquil.
General A. Trigg is re-elected to Congress by a majority of 300 votes.—It was stated in a former paper, that Major Daniel Sheffey had been elected in his stead.
DIED—On the 31st ultimo, at his residence in New Kent, Mr. JAMES OTEY. Sen in the 66th year of his age; he has left a wife and nine children to deplore their irreparable loss. As he liv'd, respected, So be did, regretted.

THE PENTECOSTAL CAMP-MEETING,
held at MOUNT HOREB, near LYNCHBURG, at WHITSUNTIDE, by the Preachers, and Members, of the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH; began on Friday the 15th, and closed Thursday the 21st of May 1807. The preachers and people, as in the days of old, came from the NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST, the distance of 100 miles: The congregation on the Sabbath, adjudged to be 3000 people—40 preachers—32 tents—60 professed conversion, and 37 joined the Church; and the work of sanctification visible among the professing christians, and many who had lost the comforts of religion, stirred up a lively faith in JESUS CHRIST. This meeting was attended with more than usual regularity and order; the RULES posted up, and read each day; the men and women directed to set apart in the congregation; and a respectable, and regular guard, appointed to recognize the ground during each night to preserve decorum. So that it is the opinion, no meeting of its magnitude heretofore, exceeded for good order. Many of the preachers were able "Ministers of the New Testament, workmen that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth"—Clear, rational and spiritual in their investigations, and the word found place in the hearts of the people; sinners were stricken with conviction, and many were hopefully converted and sanctified.
"Hallelujah to the Lamb, Who hath purchas'd our pardon, We'll praise him again, When we pass o'er Jordan."
At the winding up of the meeting, it was requested that at the sound of the trumpet, all who desired to be "on the Lord's side," would fall into the ranks with us, in a solemn march round the tents, singing an hymn, suited to the occasion. So we started at the Rev. Wm. P. Martin's tent, called the Union Tent; the ministers in front, the white congregation second, and the colored people third; until we came to the stage, and then dismissed, with united hearts, and flowing eyes. We are under special obligations to our benevolent friend, Col. Edmund Tate, who has conceded us, a large and permanent privilege, with excellent waters, woods and ways; within two miles of the town westwardly—"He that gives to the poor, lends to the Lord, and I will repay him again saith the Lord."
Persecution, rages in proportion to the revival!.... but says Christ.... "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and say all manner of evil of you falsely, for my sake; rejoice and be exceeding glad, for so persecuted, they, the Prophets that were before you."—Mat. 5 11 12. STITH MEAD, Manager.

RUN AWAY from the Subscriber living near New-Castle in the lower end of this county, on the 27th of March last, a Negro Man
B I L L Y,
About 50 years of age, and about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high; he is of rather delicate form, a little inclined to a yellowish complexion, and considerably marked in the face with the small pox; his hair rather inclined to be bushy, tho' not very long: He is a fellow of good understanding, a well informed mind, and very specious insinuating manner; he speaks rather quick and pert, and has a disposition to be very polite: He no doubt, will attempt to change his appearance, by altering his name, changing his hair for a wig, &c.—He is pretty well known in most parts of this state, as well as in the Carolinas and Georgia, as the waiting man and fiddler of Mr. Nicholas M. Johnson, of whom I purchased him—His wife lives in Richmond, where he has frequently been since his elopement; and he has also been a part of his time in Petersburg; and his wife has a daughter a free woman living in Norfolk, where it is probable he has been also—Tho' having so general an acquaintance, there is no knowing where he will keep himself. ALSO, runaway, last evening, a Negro Man
C O L L E T,
He had been runaway about two months and was taken up in Lunenburg, from whence he was brought and committed to Hanover Jail, and on his way home from thence, it was that he made this elopement. He is an African about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, is tolerably well formed, neither very delicate nor coarse, speaks broken, and when questioned discovers a degree of simplicity, which would induce a stranger to think him not far removed from idiotism. His wife belongs to capt. Wm. Brown in this neighborhood, about which place and Mr. Wormley's quarter in King William, I understand he generally kept himself on his first runaway trip, until he started for Lunenburg. I purchased him from the estate of Mr. Robert Ellett, near col. Goodall's, in this county; where he had lived, as also in Lunenburg, at a quarter owned by Mr. Ellett. It is probable that he will try to skulk about this neighborhood, will aim for the neighborhood of Col. Goodall's, or for Lunenburg. I will give 25 dollars for the delivery of Billy, and 15 dollars for the delivery of Colley, to me. P. STREET. Hanover, May 31, 1807.

Advantageous Establish- ment. THE subscriber, because of circumstan- ces which have lately occurred in his family, wishes to admit a partner in the business of the Henrico Gun-Powder Works, about a mile and a half from Rocketts, or to sell his rights in the same: Said works are so nearly completed, that they will soon be in operation, and the manufac- turer who is engaged to manage the making of the powder, understands the whole art so as to make it equal to any imported. None need apply for a share who cannot advance soon $1000, and employ their re- sources in the course of the business; there is a fair prospect that said works will be a very advantageous establishment; for fur- ther particulars apply to HUGH WARDEN Richmond, 1st May, 1807. tf
TO SELL OR RENT,  My Store-House & Lot, In the town of Warren, Albemarle county. The house is new, and the lot well enclosed; the stand is equal to any in town.

Patent Iron-bound Boots, Bootees, and Shoes.  JOHN BEDFORD, PHILADELPHIA, RESPECTFULLY informs the public in general, and Store-keepers in par- ticular, that he is now prepared to supply them with the above valuable goods, whole- sale and retail, on moderate terms. Shoemakers, also, may be supplied with patent-rights, on easy terms, which they will find it highly their interest to obtain, as they can, by this improvement, make four times the quantity of shoes, with their usual number of hands: for example, the usual work of three men, is only three pair of common shoes per day; whereas, in the improved way, three men, with the assis- tance of a boy, can make from twelve to fifteen pair per day. Thus the advantages resulting from this improvement, are evidently of the most essential importance: in the first place, three-fourths of the la- bor is saved: in the second place, half the leather is saved, (for one pair of shoes, made in this way, will wear as long as two pair, made in the usual way) and, in the third place, there is a saving of tax (at the rate of one pound, to twenty-four pair of shoes) they are also much more water- proof than the others, and easier mended. These are well ascertained facts, proved by actual experience. The patentee therefore hopes, that an improvement, fraught with such important public utility, will not only engage the attention, but the encouragement of every friend to the in- fant manufactures of this country. It may not be amiss to remark, that the country Shoemaker, in particular, may derive in- calculable advantages from this improve- ment, as he can supply his customers in one-fourth of the time he has usually de- voted to that purpose, and have the other three-fourths for the cultivation of his farm, or other avocations. Price of patent-rights, for the country, 100 dollars. For states, districts or towns, in proportion. Applications may be made to the Patentee, or to Mr. Jacob Harrison, Richmond. 3m Feb. 12, 1807.

JUST RECEIVED From Lee and Son's Medicine Warehouse, Bal- timore, the following  Genuine, Patent and Family MEDICINES, Prepared by Richard Lee and Son, sole proprie- tors, and sold by special appointment, at James Worrall's medicine store, and no where else in Richmond Observe that none are genuine without the sig- nature of Richard Lee and Son—on the outside wrapper of each article. Persons not attending to the above instructions, are liable to be imposed upon.
Lee's Worm Destroying Lozenges. This medicine is superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild certain and efficacious in its operations. Should no worms exist in the body, it will, without pain or grip- ing, cleanse the stomach and bowels of what- ever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. For the prevention and care of Rillons and Man- gnant Fevers, is recommended  Lee's Anti Bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee and Son, Baltimore. The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used in safety by persons in every sta- tion and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off su- perfluous bile, and prevent morbid recretions—to restore and amend the appetite—produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first ap- pearance.—They are celebrated for removing ha- bitual constiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe headache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and care- fully preserved for use by every seaman.

NOTICE is hereby given, That in conformity with the provisions of the act supplementary to the act, intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States," books will be opened at the office of the commissioner of loans for the state of Virginia on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March, 1808, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for such parts of the old six per cent. deferred six per cent. and three per cent. stocks, as may, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the said commissioner of loans.
Those proprietors of the old six per cent. and deferred stocks, who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof a new six per cent. stock, equal to the unredeemed amount of the stock surrendered, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, under a proviso however, that no reimbursement shall be made except for the whole amount of any such new certificate of stock, nor till after six months previous notice: and the proprietors of the three per cent. stock who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof, a six per cent. stock, equal to sixty-five per cent. of the amount of three per cent. surrendered, redeemable in the same manner as the new six per cent. abovementioned, but not reimbursable however, without the assent of the holders, until after the whole of the new six per cent. (given in exchange for old six or deferred as abovementioned) as well as the whole of the eight per cent. stock of the United States, shall have been reimbursed. It is also provided that in every reimbursement which may take place, a preference will be given to those creditors who may notify their wish to be reimbursed; and that if the applications to that effect shall at any time either exceed or fall short of the sum then applicable to that purpose, the priority of payment shall, so far as may be necessary, be determined by lot.
The present stockholders who reside in any part of Europe, and may assent to that modification, may, at their option, receive the interest accruing on the new stock, either in the United States as heretofore, or in London, or Amsterdam, at par: in which last case the interest will be paid there by the bankers of the United States, six months subsequent to the day on which the same would be payable in the United States and subject to no variation; nor to any other deduction than a commission to the bankers, of one half per cent. on the interest thus paid.
JOHN PAGE. Commissioner of Loans.

An Act,
Supplementary to the act intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States."
WHEREAS it is desirable to adapt the nature of the provision for the redemption of the public debt to the present circumstances of the United States, which can only be done by a voluntary subscription on the part of the creditors.
Sec. 1. BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That a subscription to the full amount of the old six per cent. deferred and three per cent. stocks be, and the same is hereby proposed; for which purpose books shall be opened at the treasury of the United States, and by the several commissioners of loans, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March next following, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter, excepted, for such parts of the above mentioned descriptions of stock, as shall, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the treasury, and of the several commissioners of loans, respectively, which subscription shall be effected by a transfer to the United States, in the manner provided by law for such transfers, of the credit or credits, standing on the said books, and by a surrender of the certificates of the stock subscribed.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That for the whole or any part of any sum which shall thus be subscribed, in old six per cent. or deferred stock, credits shall be entered to the respective subscribers, and the subscriber or subscribers shall be entitled to a certificate, or certificates, purporting that the United States owe to the holder or holders thereof, his, her, or their assigns, a sum to be expressed therein, equal to the amount of principal of the stock thus subscribed, which shall remain unredeemed on the day of such subscription, bearing an interest of six per centum, per annum, payable quarter-yearly, from the first day of the quarter, during which such subscription shall have been made, transferable in the same manner as is provided by law for the transfers of the stock subscribed, and subject to redemption at the pleasure of the United States: Provided, That no single certificate shall be issued for an amount greater than ten thousand dollars: And provided further, That no reimbursement shall be made except for the whole amount of any such new certificate, nor till after at least six months previous public notice of such intended reimbursement.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That for the whole or any part of any sum which shall thus be subscribed in three per cent. stock, credits shall likewise be entered to the respective subscribers; and the subscriber, or subscribers, shall be entitled to a certificate, purporting that the United States owe to the holder or holders thereof, his, her, or their assigns, a sum to be expressed therein, equal to sixty-five per centum of the amount of principal of the stock thus subscribed, bearing an interest of six per centum, per annum, payable quarter-yearly, from the first day of the quarter, during which such subscription
shall have been made, and transferable and subject to redemption in the same manner, and under the same regulations and restrictions, as the stock created by the preceding section of this act: Provided, That no part of the stock thus created shall be reimbursable, without the assent of the holder or holders of such stock, until after the whole of the eight per cent. and four and a half per cent. stocks, as well as all the six per cent. stock which may be created by virtue of the preceding section, shall have been redeemed.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the commissioners of the sinking fund shall be, and they are hereby authorized to appoint an agent in London, and another in Amsterdam, whose duty it shall be to receive subscriptions and transfers, and to issue new certificates in the manner, and at the times abovementioned, and as the officers of the treasury department, or the commissioners of loans might do; that is to say, the agent in London in favor of such stock-holders residing in the dominions of Great Britain in Europe, and the agent in Amsterdam in favor of such stock-holders residing in any other part of Europe, as may respectively become subscribers: Provided, That the certificates issued by the said agents, shall bear interest only from the first day of the quarter next succeeding that in which the subscription shall have taken place and that in relation to subscriptions made in old six per cent. or deferred stocks, the sums expressed in such new certificates shall be equal to the amount of the principal of the old six per cent. or deferred stocks thus subscribed, which shall remain unredeemed after payment of the dividend payable on such stock on that day from which the interest on the new certificates shall commence. The foreign stock-holders thus subscribing with either of the said agents, shall be entitled to receive the dividend in the old six per cent. deferred, or three per cent. stock subscribed by them, respectively, which shall be payable on that day, from which the interest on the new certificates shall commence. And it shall be the duty of the said agents, respectively, to transmit, before the end of each quarter, to the register of the treasury, and to the several commissioners of loans, respectively, triplicate abstracts of the certificates of stocks subscribed, and of the new certificates issued by them, during such quarter, in order that the proper credits may be entered on the books of the treasury, and of the commissioners of loans, as the case may be, to the holders of such new certificates. And the said agents, before they enter upon the execution of their several offices, shall, respectively, take an oath or affirmation for the diligent and faithful execution of their trust, and shall also become bound with one or more sureties to the satisfaction of the commissioners of the sinking fund, or of the secretary of the treasury, in the penal sum of twenty thousand dollars, with condition for their good behavior in their said offices.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the holders of old six per cent. deferred, or three per cent. stock, who may become subscribers, as aforesaid, either in the United States, or in Europe, and who, on the first day of July next, and also on the day of the subscription, shall be resident in Europe, may, at their option, which must be made at the time of subscribing, receive the interest accruing on the stock created by virtue of the preceding sections of this act, either in the United States, as other creditors, or at London, or Amsterdam: that is to say, the stock-holders residing, at the times above-mentioned, in the dominions of Great Britain in Europe, at London, and at the rate of four shillings and six-pence sterling, for each dollar; and

the stock-holders residing, at the times above-mentioned, in any other part of Europe, at Amsterdam, and at the rate of two guilders and a half guilder, current money of Holland, for each dollar: in which last mentioned option the condition shall be expressed in the new certificates to be issued, and the credit or credits, to be given to the proprietors thereof, shall be entered, and shall thereafter be transferable only on the books of the treasury: Provided however , That the interest thus payable in London and Amsterdam, shall not be payable until the expiration of six calendar months from the day on which the same would be payable in the United States, and shall be subject to a deduction of one half of one per cent. on the amount payable, for commission to the bankers paying the same: And provided also , That every proprietor of such stock may, on surrendering his certificate, receive another to the same amount, the interest whereof shall be payable quarter-yearly in the United States, in the same manner as that accruing on the stock held by persons residing in the United States.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted , That the same funds which heretofore have been, and now are, pledged, by law, for the payment of the interest, and for the redemption or reimbursement of the stock which may be subscribed by virtue of the provisions of this act, shall remain pledged for the payment of interest accruing on the stock created by reason of such subscription, and for the redemption or reimbursement of the principal of the same. It shall be the duty of the commissioners of the sinking fund to cause to be applied, and paid out of the said fund, yearly, and every year, such sum, and sums, as may be annually wanted to discharge the annual interest and charges accruing on the stock which may be created by virtue of this act. The said commissioners are hereby authorized to apply, from time to time, such sum and sums out of the said fund, as they may think proper, towards redeeming, by purchase, or by reimbursement, in conformity with the provisions of this act, the principal of the said stock. And the annual sum of eight millions of dollars, vested by law in the said commissioners, shall be, and continue appropriated to the payment of interest and redemption of the public debt, until the whole of the stock which may be created by the preceding sections of this act, shall have been redeemed, or reimbursed.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted , That there shall be allowed to each of the agents to be appointed by virtue of this act, in addition to the necessary expenses incurred by them, for printing, stationery, and postage, a sum of three thousand dollars, as a full compensation for their services. The said agents, and the commissioners of loans, shall also be allowed such additional sum as may be actually and necessarily expended for the clerk hire requisite for carrying this act into effect. And for defraying the said compensations and allowances, and such other contingent charges as may be incurred for carrying this act into effect, a sum not exceeding sixteen thousand dollars, to be paid out of any monies in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, is hereby appropriated.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted , That whenever notice of reimbursement shall be given, as prescribed by the second and third sections of this act, the certificates intended to be reimbursed, shall be designated therein. In every reimbursement the preference shall be given to such holders of certificates as, previously to the said notice, shall have notified in writing to the treasury department their wish to be reimbursed. If there should not be applications to the treasury sufficient to require the payment of the whole sum to be applied to that purpose, the secretary of the treasury, after paying off all sums for the payment of which applications shall have been made, shall determine by lot what other certificates shall be reimbursed so as
to make up the whole amount to be discharged: and in case the applications shall exceed the amount to be discharged, the secretary of the treasury shall proceed to determine by lot what applications shall be entitled to priority of payment.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted , That the agents appointed by virtue of this act, and the several commissioners of loans, shall observe and perform such directions and regulations, as shall be prescribed to them by the secretary of the treasury, touching the execution of this act.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted , That nothing in this act contained, shall be construed, in any wise, to alter, abridge, or impair the rights of those creditors of the United States, who shall not subscribe to the loan created by virtue of this act.
