Runaway Negro. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAM. 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 clothing, 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 Northern Neck, so that I get him again, George Christopher. Westmoreland County, Vir. 14th September. 2b dtf

The deputies of the new states will assemble at Frankfurt on the Maine on the 1st of September. Napoleon will be present in person.
Since the conclusion of peace between Russia and France, all fears of a new rupture between the latter power and Austria have entirely vanished. The consequences of it will likewise appear in the altered motions of the troops as soon as the peace with Russia shall have been ratified, when it is expected that Austria will give her consent to the new Rhenish federation.
The Prussians are said to be marching to the Elms. A Prussian army of 40,000 men is assembling near Münster. On the 2d inst. the Prussian garrison marched out of Osnaburg, and troops have broken up from other parts of Westphalia.
The French have entered the district of Wurtzburgh in great force—with what intention, is not stated. Other detachments of French troops are said also to be in motion to advance on the side of the Ilnwerthel and of Salzburg, to take possession of those two provinces, in case Austria should persist in refusing the payment of 21 millions, by way of indemnification for the long continuance of the French troops in Bavaria.
A Russian army of 100,000 men is said to be encamped along the river Bog.
August 13.
Of all the projects which Bonaparte ever conceived, the act of confederation, or rather the act of treason to the legitimate head of the empire and of submission to France, is the most dangerous that could be contrived. In midst of peace with Prussia & Austria, he aims a blow at both of them, founds and forms a new empire, Imperium in Imperio , in the heart of the German empire, creates a new and formidable state to menace and act both against Prussia and Austria whenever he shall order it; a state not distant, not divided from either of them by mountains or rivers difficult to pass, but placed as it were at their very doors and thresholds, and able to march at once into the heart and centre of their dominions. Well has it been said that Bonaparte's hostilities of peace are equally and perhaps much more dangerous than his hostilities of war. He calls this act of confederation the Rhenish confederacy, as if it included merely those powers and princes whose dominions are on the banks of the Rhine. But this confederacy of the Rhine extends to the Maine and the Danube, includes Swabia, Franconia and Bavaria, keeps a convenient door open for the entrance of every other power, and no doubt will either cajole or force the electors of Hesse and Saxony to join it, if electors they can any longer be called, now that their functions of electors are to cease, Bonaparte having determined that there shall be no emperor of Germany after the present, if even he be permitted to retain that title, of which we entertain great doubt. Napoleon is to assist himself in person at the opening of the Assembly of Deputies from all the states of the confederacy. We shall not be surprised to find him assume the title of emperor of the Confederated States . The assembly is to be held at Frankfurt upon the Maine, which, after having lately paid four millions of florins for the preservation of its independence, is to be given to that servile instrument of
the Corsican's ambition, the elector chancellor. In the mean time the French troops are taking positions for the purpose of preventing all opposition to the execution of the new plan. The affair of Cattaro has afforded Bonaparte a pretence for keeping his troops in Germany and for making fresh claims upon the emperor of Germany. This is his system—he will not aim an open blow at present at Austria, but by harassing her with repeated demands and claims, he will produce advantages as great as he could derive from open war. The withholding Cattaro from him, though he has exasperated Austria from all blame, has furnished him with a pretext for demanding a large sum of money for the additional expence to which the keeping his troops in Germany has put him. The sum demanded is two hundred millions; a sum which the Austrian treasury is unable at present to discharge. French troops therefore are proceeding to take possession of Salzburgh, and the important post of the Innwerthel; and thus the means and power of Austria will be still further cramped, and she will be less able to oppose the establishment of the Rhenish confederacy.
A large body of French troops seems also to be marching to the frontiers of Hesse and Saxony, with a view of overawing both those powers. And Prussia Bonaparte pays as little attention to her inclinations and interests as to the meanest prince in the empire. This act of confederation must be done in contempt and defiance of the cabinet of Berlin, for it is impossible to suppose that the Prussian government can view the establishment of such a confederacy, with any other than sentiments of the deepest disapprobation and alarm. A new state is suddenly intruded into the empire more powerful than herself; the princes whom she could influence or command, will not only be entirely withdrawn from her, but if Hesse & Saxony be, as we have no doubt they will be, forced to join the Rhenish confederacy, those who were formerly the firmest allies and friends of the Prussian power will be converted into spies upon her conduct, and into engines for controlling and oppressing her whenever the supreme head of the Rhenish confederacy shall think fit. Let any one look at the position of Saxony & Hesse, and of that new dukedom which has been given to Murat, and he will immediately see how Prussia will be hemmed in and surrounded almost on every side. Oh, versatility of human affairs! Prussia, who has followed with undeviating constancy one line of policy, the policy of reducing the power of Austria, whose eye has been always directed to the acquisition of one object, who has flattered herself that she could make France her instrument for wresting the imperial crown from the house of Austria, and for placing herself upon the throne of the Cæsars. Prussia has indeed succeeded in reducing the power of Austria, but she has succeeded also in reducing herself to a situation of more than equal humiliation. She could have prevented these fatal effects—she held at one time in her hands the fate of Europe and the world. What fatal infatuation, or what foul treason enfeebled her arms when she could have struck a decisive blow, and effected on the plains of Moravia the deliverance of Europe? Such an opportunity of combining her own glory with the salvation of the world, of carrying her own greatness to the highest pitch, and of entitling herself to the gratitude of mankind, was never afforded to any nation. She neglected it, and negotiated when she should have fought; sent an ambassador when she should have sent an army, and thus assisted with her own hands in forging fetters for the continent. What would have been the conduct of the Great Frederick, under the same circumstances? But these are unavailing and afflicting recollections. Bonaparte has owed his present elevation less to his own vigor and genius, than to the feebleness and imbecility of those by whom he has been opposed.
The descent upon the coast of Calabria is mentioned in a letter from Naples of the 11th ult. Instead of 10,000 British troops having landed, there were only a few troops with 600 galley slaves. They landed on the 4th, but returned soon to their ships, compelled, as the latter says, by gen. Verdier to embark. It is probable that they meant merely to make a diversion, in which they succeeded. The French, it is obvious, had no victory to boast of.
GERMAN CONFEDERATION.
RATISBON, August 1.
This day M. Bacher, charge d'affairs of France, remitted to the diet the following note:
"The undersigned charge d'affairs of his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, at the general diet of the Germanic empire, has received orders from his majesty to make the following declarations:
"Their majesties the kings of Bavaria and Wirtemberg, the sovereign princes of Ratisbon, of Baden, of Hesse Darmstadt, of Nassau, and the other principal princes of the south and west of Germany, have taken the resolution to form among themselves a confederation, which places them in safety from all the uncertainties of the future, and they have ceased to be states of the empire.
"The situation in which the treaty of Presburg placed directly the courts allied to France, and indirectly the princes whom they surround, and who are their neighbors, being incompatible with the condition of a state of the empire, it became necessary for those courts, and for the princes, to arrange on a new plan the system of their relations, and to cause to disappear an inconsistency which would have been a permanent source of agitation, of inquietude, and of danger.
"On her side, France, so essentially interested in maintaining the peace of the south of Germany, and who could not doubt, that the moment when she should have caused her troops to retrace the Rhine, discord, an inevitable consequence of relations contradictory or uncertain, ill defined and ill understood, would have exposed to a new danger the repose of nations, and again, perhaps, lighted up a war upon the continent: bound, besides, to promote the welfare of her allies, and to enable them to enjoy all the advantages which the treaty of Presburg secured to them, and which she has guaranteed. France could only see in the confederation which they have formed a natural consequence and necessary completion of that treaty:
"For a long time, successive changes, which have gone on augmenting from age to age, had reduced the Germanic constitution to be only a shadow of itself. Time had changed all the relations of grandeur and of strength which originally existed among the members of the confederation, and between each of them, and the whole, of which they made a part. The diet had ceased to have a will that belonged to itself. The sentences of the supreme tribunals could not be put in execution. Every thing attested an enfeeblement so great, that the federation tie no longer presented any guarantee, and among the powerful was only a cause of dissention and discord. The events of the three coalitions carried this enfeeblement to its utmost length. One electorate has been suppressed by the union of Hanover with Prussia; a northern power has incorporated with his other states one of the provinces of the empire; and the treaty of Presburg has assigned to the kings of Bavaria and Wirtemberg, and the elector of Baden, the plenitude of sovereignty; a prerogative which the other electors would claim, and be entitled to claim, but which could accord neither with the spirit nor the letter of the constitution of the empire.
"His majesty the emperor and king is therefore obliged to declare, that he acknowledges no longer the existence of the Germanic constitution; at the same time, nevertheless, recognizing the entire and absolute sovereignty of every one of the princes of whose states Germany at this day consists, and preserving with them the same relations as with the other independent powers of Europe.
"His majesty the emperor and king has accepted the title of protector of the confederation of the Rhine. He has done so only from pacific views, and that his mediation, constantly interposed between the weak and the strong, may prevent every kind of dissention and disorder.
"Having thus done enough for the dearest interest of his people and of his neighbors—having provided as much as lay in his power for the future tranquility of Europe, and in particular for the tranquility of Germany, which has been constantly the theatre of war; in putting a period to the contradictions which placed the nations and the princes under the protection of a system really contrary to their political interests and their treaties, his majesty the emperor and king hopes that the nations of Europe will lend a deaf ear to the insinuations of those who wish to cherish eternal war upon the continent; that the French armies which have passed the Rhine, shall have passed it for the last time; and that the people of Germany will see no longer, in the history of the past, any thing but the horrible picture of disorders of every kind, of devastations, & of massacres, which war always brings in its train.
"His majesty has declared that he
would never extend the boundaries of France beyond the Rhine: he has been faithful to his promise. At present his only desire is to be able to employ the means which providence has entrusted to him for the purpose of asserting the liberty of the seas, of restoring to commerce its liberty, and securing the repose and happiness of the world.
Signed
BACHER. Ratisbon, Aug. 1. 1806."
The kings of Bavaria and of Wirtemberg, the Electors Arch. Chancellor and of Baden, the Landgrave of Hesse, the prince of Hohenzollern, the prince of Salm Kyr. bourg, and the prince of Ysembourg, have this day sent a declaration to the Diet, in which they renounce the Germanic Union, and announce their resolution under the guarantee of the emperor of the French.
PARIS, Aug. 6.
The English ambassador, lord Lauderdale, accompanied by two secretaries, and Basilico, the messenger arrived on the 3d inst. at Calais, and yesterday in this capital.
An Imperial decree dated the third of this month, ordains a levy of fifty thousand conscripts, taken from the 80,000 authorized to be placed in a state of activity by the decree of the second Vendemaire, year 14. They will be divided among the different corps of the army. The thirty thousand conscripts remaining from the eighty thousand, will form the reserve of the year 1806.
The Official Journal, on the occasion of this measure contains the following note:
"The Senatus Consultum of the second Vendemaire, year 14, placed at the disposal of government the conscription of 1806. The third coalition appeared under such an aspect, that the levy of eighty thousand men, seemed then necessary to support the glory of the throne, and to defend the dearest interests of the country. But before the end of the month of Vendemaire, the success of Ulm had given such an advantage to our arms, that the emperor considered the calling out the conscription of 1806 as unnecessary and confined himself to calling out the reserve.
"At present the eighty thousand men of the conscription of 1806, the emperor had judged that the calling out of 50,000 is necessary.
"If as every thing leads to hope, the affairs of the continent are about to be settled, these fifty thousand men will serve to replace the soldiers who shall receive their discharge, and return to their families. If, on the contrary, which there is no reason to think, the period of the repose of the continent is not yet arrived, these fifty thousand men by completing the different corps on the war footing, will carry the French army to its highest degree of strength.
"In any event then, this levy is necessary. Even if we had enjoyed profound peace, we should always have called out, if not fifty at least forty thousand men. Since the last review, twenty thousand men have been discharged; and by the result of the views of this year, it is probable that an equal number will again return to their homes.
"Nothing therefore ought to be inferred favorable either for war or peace, from this operation which is almost annual. It is done at the ordinary period; sufficiently late for the harvest being finished, sufficiently soon for the young men to join their corps before the unfavorable season commences, and to perfect themselves in discipline during the winter."
The Moniteur of this day contains the following article:
"General Lauriston has written from Ragusa, under date of the 15th July, that that city enjoyed the most profound tranquility, and that its territory was quite free from brigands. He adds, that, during the whole period of the blockade and siege of Ragusa, he had only 40 men killed, and 120 wounded. He praises the behavior of his troops and the zeal of the natives."
The Moniteur also communicates the list of promotions of the brave men who distinguished themselves at Ragusa and before Gaeta.
The Holy Crown of Thorns, which was given to St. Louis in 1238, by Baudouin, emperor of Constantinople, and which happily has been preserved amidst the religious profanations which have marked our revolution, will be transferred with all possible solemnity into the Metropolitan church of Paris, on Sunday the 10th inst. Plenary indulgences will be given to the pious who may assist at the ceremony, with the requisite qualities.

STUTTGART, July 29.
The march of French troops thro' this neighborhood is without remission. They generally take the route of Ulm and Dillingen. A small division of cavalry passed by this place to-day, and directed its course towards Tubingen. Other troops are in march for Bavaria. Last night there were a thousand men at Esslingen, and several thousand at Cannstadt, and in its environs, from whence they will this day continue their march. The advanced guard of troops under general Lefebvre arrived there on the 26th.
Intelligence is received from Fribourg, in the Brisgau, that the great number of French troops which were in those countries requiring a much larger quantity of corn and hay, the prohibition to purchase foreign forage has been necessarily renewed.
BASEL, July 28.
General Rapp is employed in visiting every part of his military division, which is that of the Rhine. On Monday he inspected the garrison of Huningen. He remained there but a few hours, and did not come to Basle, as our citizens had flattered themselves.
The reports of a continental war are renewed, tho' we cannot trace them to any authority. It is certain, however, that the commandant of Huningen has received orders, with all possible dispatch, all the disposable force in that place. In consequence 300 men immediately passed the Rhine, to join their respective corps. It is said that a similar order has been given along the whole line, and that his majesty the emperor and king is expected in a short time at Strasburg.
VENICE, July 12.
On the 10th instant the French troops, commanded by general Seras, were embarked; and the same evening the flotilla, composed of forty small transports, under the convoy of one corvette, two brigantines, and one frigate, set sail under the French Italian flag. The number of men on board is more than 5000, who will be disembarked in Dalmatia, in order to reinforce the troops there. In the room of the division of Seras there will arrive in Istria two regiments from Frioul, forming part of the army commanded by general Marmont.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 22.
Captain Jones, arrived at quarantine, left Havana on Monday last. A few hours after sailing, saw a French 74 gun ship, with the loss of her fore and main-top-masts, and mizen-mast, running in for the Moro, and a British frigate in chase. As soon as the frigate came within gun-shot, the 74 lay to, opened her lower ports, and commenced firing. After exchanging a few shots, the frigate finding the metal of the French ship too heavy, steered off, and the 74 got safe into the Havana, where she fired an Imperial salute, which was returned by the Spanish 74 lying in that port. Captain Jones states that the French ship discharged upwards of 100 shot. A number of shot were also fired at the frigate from a Spanish fort, but it did not appear that she had sustained any damage.
The French ship is no doubt one of Jerome's squadron; and the British frigate we believe to be the Cerberus, of 32 guns, captain Selby, as she was the only British cruiser off Havana.

Extracts from a Journal kept on board the brig Active.
August 21st, arrived in Point a Petre, Guadaloupe.
28th, a privateer brig of 20 guns and one hundred and fifty men, sailed for Laguira with 150 troops, under the command of the captain of the port, en purpose to co-operate with the Spaniards against Miranda.
September 10th, had a heavy gale of wind, something of a hurricane, but no damage done in Point Petre among the shipping, but considerable done in the country by blowing down trees, &c.
14th, sailed from Point Petre, and on the 19th, in lat. 21 50, and long. 64 30, fell in with the above mentioned privateer, on a continuation of her cruise (after having landed her troops at Laguira) who informed us that Miranda had met with a severe repulse from the Spaniards, at Laguira, and compelled to retreat to his shipping for shelter; they also added that no hopes are entertained of his (Miranda) ever succeeding in his operations unless he had a force of from forty to fifty thousand men, the whole of the country being united against him. This privateer had taken three prizes (English) one of them a government schr. of 14 guns, after a smart action, and killing seventeen of the schooner's men; the other two were merchantmen, one of them a brig, laden with rum, and in sight when we were brought too by the privateer.
The privateer in the above action with the schooner had her boat shot to pieces, which made her insist on our boarding her in our own boat, but treated very friendly and not detained. On leaving us she stood to the north-west under a press of canvas, we hazard an opinion to cruise somewhere off Charleston.
23d, in lat. 27 25, long. 69, fell in with the lower yard of a (seemingly) 74 or 80 gun ship, with part of its rigging on it, such as slings, trusts, &c. also the head rope of the sail, with some small fragments of the sail attached to it; it was painted yellow, French make, and about thirty iron hoops on it.
29th, in lat. 35 and 36, had a tremendous gale of wind that commenced at S.E. by E. and ended at S. In the evening of the same fell in with the fleet under the command of sir J. B. Warren; and on the 30th, after the gale abated, was boarded by the Romulus and treated politely.
October 1st, Cape Henry bearing sw. 3 miles distant was boarded by the Cambrian frigate and treated but shabbily.

On the 1st ultimo, society was deprived of one of its brightest ornaments and her friends of an invaluable blessing, by the sudden death of Mrs. ANNA RANDOLPH CRAIK, the truly amiable consort of the honorable William Craik, late one of the members for the state of Maryland in the house of representatives of the United States. She was the daughter of William Fitzhugh, Esq. of Alexandria. This lady had accompanied her husband to Bath for the benefit of his health. Soon after their arrival there, she was attacked by symptoms of nervous fever, which induced them to endeavor to return, but by the time they had reached Martinsburg, the disease had progressed in so rapid and alarming a manner, that they could proceed no further; and there, in the course of a few days, in defiance of every possible exertion of medical skill, the irresistible mandate of death summoned her to give an account of her stewardship. She left this world in the 24th year of her age.— "What pathos in the date!"
Inshrined in as delicate and beautiful a form as ever graced the female character, she possessed a mind enriched by general information, and polished by every polite accomplishment; together with a disposition mild, animated and affectionate, and a heart glowing with the purest and most active impulses of benevolence.
This singular assemblage of virtues and excellencies was dignified and refined by a confirmed attachment to the Christian religion, and the most exemplary observance of all the rites and ceremonies of the Protestant Episcopal Church, of which she was a member.
Her deportment in domestic life was such as excited the admiration and affection of all who enjoyed the privilege of her acquaintance. Thus,
"Early, bright, transient, chaste—like morning dew"
"She sparkled, was rehal'd, and went to heaven."

Valuable Family Medicines.
Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for removing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholics, Colic veniens, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West-Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, Jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious Pills, or, Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colts and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrheas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste,
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authenticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in extreme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.
Dr. Cooley's Vegetable Elixir; Or Cough Drops,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, spitting of blood and all diseases of the lungs. Its merits stand unrivalled. Price 50 cents a bottle.
Dr. Cooley's Rheumatic Pills, Price 50 cents a box.
Hinkley's Infallible remedy for the Piles.
Price 50 Cents a Box. Very particular directions accompanying each of these valuable medicines.
