LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
LONDON, September 30.
By the messenger, whose arrival from Paris we mentioned yesterday, government, we understand, has received information of the departure of Bonaparte from his capital. He was accompanied by Talleyrand.
A cabinet council was held yesterday at lord Howick's office.
Yesterday we received Paris and Dutch papers, the former to the 22d, the latter to the 27th inst. The intelligence contained in them is not so important as that furnished by the Hamburg papers and the letters from the north of Germany. Little is said respecting the movements of the Prussian troops, or the expected rupture between the courts of Berlin and Paris; while all that is mentioned respecting the military demonstrations of Russia is evidently founded in wilful misrepresentation. In fact, none of the continental gazettes within the control of France dare mention that there are one hundred and fifty thousand Russians on their march to the assistance of Prussia.
If the Naples news be deserving of credit, the French have again re-occupied the Further Calabria. The British are said to have retired from Amantea, and Massena is represented as being in full march to Reggio. The latter part of this intelligence is sufficient to destroy the credit of the whole. Massena, sanguinary and ferocious as he is, is too good an officer to thrust himself into that nook of Italy with any considerable force, leaving all the country between that place and Naples open to a sudden disembarkation of the force assembled for the defence of Sicily.
A report prevailed at the Hague, that Bonaparte had left Paris for Mayence. It is very likely to be true. When he does put himself at the head of an army, it will be most probably that part of it which is concentrated on the Saxon frontier. The Dutch funds have risen two per cent.
The Hamburg mails due on the 21st and 24th instant arrived yesterday; the contents of the first were anticipated in our paper of Saturday.
When a contest is about to take place for the better part of Europe, it is some consolation to know, that the preparations of the powers who are to fight for its freedom and security, are not inadequate to the great cause they have to uphold. We therefore hear with particular satisfaction, that the Austrian army is more numerous, better appointed, more abundantly provided, and in habits of more effective discipline, than it was previous to the commencement of the late disastrous campaign. These wonders have been achieved by the great influence and indefatigable attention of the archduke Charles; of that amiable and able prince, who, we trust, will one day appear as the restorer and avenger of the house of Austria. The army has been recruited to a number much above its ordinary establishment; and it is, perhaps, the knowledge of this fact which has produced the liberation of the Austrian prisoners by France. In detaining them, Bonaparte only furnished Austria with a fair pretext for quarrel whenever a fair opportunity should offer; in restoring them, he would add little to the effective strength of that army, for few of the soldiers would, and we believe none of the officers could, expect to be employed. Should the flames of war again burst forth on the continent, we do not think Austria will remain a tame spectator of the scene. Considerable magazines are ordered to be prepared in Bohemia; troops are concentrating on the right bank of the Danube; and we think, under pretence of protecting the neutrality of her territory, or some other reason equally valid, that Austria will contrive to take a part in the general quarrel. It is this apprehension, as well as the hostile attitude of Prussia, which has rendered Bonaparte so unusually temperate for the last six weeks. He is not ignorant that the Austrian army is numerous and far better composed at present, than it was when he began to cross the Rhine against it this time twelve months.
The eternal subject of the surrender of Cattaro is put to rest for some time. Austria appears to have satisfied all the forms that were required by France. General Bell-garde, with a considerable force, presented himself before the place, and required to be put in possession of it. The Russians demurred, and threatened to treat him as an enemy if he should attempt a landing.
The Prussian troops having almost all reached their different points of destina-
tion, the movements are of course not so frequent as they were a few days ago. The strength of the Prussian and allied army is concentrated in the following positions:—The head quarters where the king nominal-ly, but the duke of Brunswick really commands, are to be established between Halle and Merseburgh—another corps is to be stationed in front of Magdeburg; a third in the neighborhood of Gottingen, and a fourth in Westphalia. The three last divisions are to be severally commanded by prince Hohealohes, general Moellendorf, and the elector of Hesse. Both the Saxons and Hessians are already incorporated with the Prussians; and, what is of very great importance, it is placed beyond all doubt that a considerable Russian force is rapidly advancing towards Silesia. The 20th inst was the time fixed for his Prussian majesty's departure from Berlin for the army; the Queen, it is said, accompanies him. A report prevailed at Dresden, that he would be met there by the emperor Alexander.
The Berlin intelligence mentions that baron Jacobi was to quit that city on a journey; his excellency is coming to London. He was expected to pass through Hamburg on the 20th instant, and his arrival by the next packet may be looked for.
Bonaparte continues hostilities against the humble retainers of the continental press with the same rancor that he did the war against the house of Austria, or the queen of Naples. Four of them, accused of high treason against the Corsican emperor, are condemned as contumacious, and are to be shot as soon as they can be taken.
We have received the following letter from a correspondent of the first respectability. We place much reliance upon the accuracy of the details contained in it:—
"Altona, September 16, 1806.
Great exertions are making to place the army in Saxony on the most formidable footing, and to take the field immediately. The Prussian general Hohenlohe is to command the combined army; but it is supposed that the king of Prussia will have the supreme command, as his head quarters are to be at Halle.
One hundred thousand Russians are on their march to Warsaw: eighty thousand are at Brody and Belitz. The armies are to be commanded by generals Michelotti and Beningsen; they are to receive their heavy artillery at Gross-Glogau, where the greatest activity prevails in the magazines.
The Russians are to cross the Oder at Brieg, Breslau and Gross-Glogau, and that part of the army is already arrived on the frontiers of Silesia. The grand duke Constantine, and some say, the emperor Alexander, is expected at Berlin.
On the 7th inst part of the Prussian army was arrived in Saxony, by the road of Bautzen. The Prussian third battalions of each regiment have received orders to march, which is not usually done.
The Austrians are forming large magazines at Troppau, Jagerndorf, and in Bohemia.
A large train of artillery has passed thro' Brunswick from Magdeburgh, to join the Prussian army in Hanover.
The Prussians have taken possession of the principality of Fulda, the only sovereignty left to the prince of Orange, who arrived at Magdeburg on the 9th.
The duke of Brunswick is to have the command of the centre of the Prussian army. His own army is to be increased from 2000 to 6000 men.
The elector of Saxony's troops received orders to march on the 9th of September.
At Halle the troops are quartered even in the professors houses; and the churches are already converted into magazines. Eleven regiments are on their march to Leipzig. The Prussian troops, under the prince of Hohenlohe, crossed the Elbe, near Dresden, on the 11th instant. These are to be replaced by Russians. The nearest French force is at Bayreuth and Coburg.
Count Schultenburg Kehnert is named governor of Berlin, vice Mollendorf.
Lord Morpeth, notwithstanding all his arrangements were made, and carriages ordered to be ready, did not, we find, leave town for Berlin on Sunday night.—As baron Jacobi may be hourly expected, his lordship, probably, will not set out on his mission until after an interview has taken place between that minister and the secretary of state for the foreign department.
We have the very great satisfaction to announce to the public, that Mr. Whit-
bread has accepted the office of secretary at war. The manly talents, the persevering activity, the comprehensive mind, and high individual character of that gentleman, have long been established; we cannot, therefore, but congratulate administration on the accession of such an able coadjutor.
(EVENING.)
The messenger whose arrival with dispatches from lord Lauderdale, we announced yesterday, brought Paris papers to Friday last inclusive.
Bonaparte and Talleyrand, as we stated yesterday, have actually left Paris. The former set off last Wednesday night from St. Cloud with Madame Bonaparte, who, we suppose, accompanies him only part of the way. The Moniteur adds, that he is supposed to be gone to Mentz. Talleyrand left Paris on Friday to join his master. Before his departure, Bonaparte made some communications to the conservative senate, and though the Moniteur takes no notice of them, one of the other papers informs us, that they consisted of a letter to the prince primate of the confederation of the Rhine, a letter to the king of Bavaria, in which he announces that he still hopes to preserve peace with Prussia; but in case that power should not give a prompt and categorical answer, he is ready to enter Germany at the head of 300,000 men.
It is evident that Bonaparte has no hopes of preserving peace with Prussia. Had not all hopes been at an end, had not Prussia assumed an attitude, and adopted a language, which rendered the preservation of peace impossible, Bonaparte would not have left Paris. He has left Paris to take the command of the army; Talleyrand is gone after him for the purpose no doubt of inspiring the people with a belief that victory is certain, and that Talleyrand will be enabled to negotiate a peace as humiliating to Prussia, as the peace of Presburg was to Austria.
All the troops that were encamped at Meudon have left Paris, together with a part of the garrison—Some of the conscripts have even marched to join the armies. It is probable that Bonaparte will proceed from Mentz to Frankfort, where the principal corps of the grand army is stationed.
Of the differences that have occasioned this hostile state of affairs between Prussia and France, the Moniteur takes no notice. It confines itself to the insertion of fabricated letters from Cassel & Dresden, tending to inculcate a belief that the electors of Hesse and Saxony are averse to any junction or co-operation with Prussia, and that the elector of Hesse had refused to ratify a treaty concluded by his minister with Prussia. But these assertions, so contrary to what is known to be the fact, deceive no one, and we have often been surprised that ministers should wish to give currency to these fabrications. Though the Moniteur however is silent with respect to the differences with Prussia, the Argus has been ordered to make a furious attack against her, and endeavored to impress a belief that she cannot be trusted either by Great Britain, Austria, or Russia. The only notice we think it necessary to take of this article in the Argus is to say that it confirms what we have invariably said, and what the late opposition would not admit, that Prussia had promised to take part in the late coalition.
But from these calumnies and fabrications, let us pass to considerations of more importance and take a view of the real state of affairs. And here we must congratulate our readers upon the tone and language which ministers have adopted in speaking of the preparations of Prussia. They admit that she enters the field with great advantages. They dwell with pleasure upon the extent of her power, the excellence of her spirit, and the vigor and alacrity of her preparations. They do not seem to despair of another attempt against France, though Prussia commences the war alone. We are the more surprised and pleased at this language because we cannot but recollect the manner in which they ridiculed the attempt to resist the power of Bonaparte made by Austria and Russia, and the epithets of frantic and foolish which they attached to the last confederacy.
Saxony and Hesse have made common cause with Prussia, and Bonaparte has no hopes of making either of them commit, even if they were so disposed which they are not, the same act of treachery which the king of Bavaria committed against Austria. The Hessians universally allowed to be among the first troops in Europe, have joined the Prussians about thirty thousand strong; the Saxons can bring into the field about double the number, but
we will estimate their force at only thirty thousand men. The Swedes could add 25,000 more to the assistance of the Prussians—thus the Prussian allies will be able to afford an effective force of about 80,000 men. The Prussians have already entered Saxony, their force in that quarter is estimated at one hundred thousand men, under the command of Prince Hohenlohe, they have crossed the Elbe near Dresden, and are advancing to the Saxon frontier, in a line nearly parallel to the course of the Elbe. On the frontiers of Westphalia, the Prussian force is between 30 & 40,000 men greater than any that can at present be opposed to it in that quarter. It is said that Fulda, has been occupied by a Prussian detachment; if so, they are at a very short distance from the French troops—That the Russians will be able to take part in the first operations of the war we scarcely believe;—they are certainly on their march and 80,000 are already arrived at Brody and Belitz; they are to cross the Oder at Brieg, Breslau, and Gross-Glogau. The French occupy the following positions: Augereau's corps is stationed in a semi-circular direction from the Sieg to the Mein and the Neckar; Mortier's occupies a position on the western side of Franconia, his left reaching to Wurzburg—Bernadotte's which is the nearest to the Prussian army in Saxony, is cantoned on a line extending from Bamberg to Nuremberg. The first blow is expected to be struck between Bamberg and Coburg, it being supposed to be Bonaparte's intention to make a rapid and sudden irruption into Saxony. Others think that he will not enter Saxony first, but push into the electorate of Hesse. It were to be wished perhaps that he may adopt the latter determination. Of the force of the French we have no accurate accounts. There are eight divisions, and we shall not perhaps be very wide of the mark in estimating them 130 or 140 thousand men. But these cannot in the first instance be brought to act against Prussia, unless we can suppose that Bonaparte is so sure of remaining at peace with Austria, as to render it unnecessary for him to keep any great force on Austrian frontiers. We see his attempting to consolidate and enjoin Austria—he has sent back the Austrian prisoners, and it is even said that he has evacuated Brennero. But he cannot imagine that Austria will remain at peace, should a favorable opening be made for going to war. Already do we see that she has announced her regiments, to be more than complete, a notification calculated to produce the double effect of encouraging Prussia and of proving in France that she is not to be despised. In contemplating too the amount of the force which France can bring to act against Prussia, it must not be forgotten that besides keeping a very large army in Bavaria and Swabia, she must occupy Naples with at least fifty thousand men, if she means to preserve the possession of that kingdom.
Bonaparte, in a letter to the prince Primate, is anxious to impress a belief that he has no intention of exercising any superiority over the members of the Rhenish Confederacy. He seems to think it necessary to tranquillize them under the present circumstances.
LIVERPOOL, October 1.
POLITICAL RETROSPECT.
The affairs of Europe present at the present moment an aspect wholly inexplicable. While lord Lauderdale continues in Paris, engaged in discussions with a view to an accommodation between Great Britain and France, the differences between the courts of London and Berlin are said to be upon the point of being completely adjusted, the French and Prussian armies are expected every day to come to blows, and a new coalition is talked of, the first feature of which would of course be a subsidy to support the military exertions of Prussia—Though under these circumstances it is difficult to decide what may be the event, we are of opinion that there will be no coalition.
It is not long since it was represented that the attitude of resistance taken by Prussia had for its object the maintenance of her assumed possession of Hanover, the restitution of which was demanded by Bonaparte, to enable him to purchase peace with Britain. It was hardly to be supposed that the British government would give a subsidy, or be desirous to form a coalition for the purpose of preserving to the king of Prussia a territory which we ourselves claimed from France, as an indispensable preliminary to peace. But it seems the demand of the restitution of Hanover by Bonaparte was coupled with other demands of cessions from the immediate dominions of Prussia; and that the cabinet of Berlin

is willing to give up Hanover to its rightful owner, on condition that we will aid his Prussian majesty in maintaining the integrity of his states. This last appears now the sole object of the coalition which some are so sanguine as to speak of. If the aggrandizement of France and its dependencies were not equally to be deprecated from whatever quarter it may be made, we should hold it to be a satisfaction which the independent powers of Europe owe to themselves to look in silence on any oppression or spoliation Prussia may suffer from the power which her own dastardly conduct in the late war placed in a situation to trample upon her. If, however, the exertions which the cabinet of Berlin is at last compelled to make, afford a prospect of the deliverance of Europe, it would be politic to support them from whatever motives they may proceed. But what are the present prospects from a new coalition? Three Prussian armies, amounting altogether to 100,000 men, are assembled in Saxony, Franconia, and Westphalia. A corps of reserve of 25,000 is to be formed at Custrin on the Oder, 40 miles beyond Berlin. It is said, a strong Russian force will form an encampment in Silesia, and that other bodies of Russians are at hand in Poland. But all this is very far from a new coalition. Austria is said to have made astonishing efforts towards restoring her shattered armies, and retrieving the general calamities of the late war. But she seems to have no notion of committing her half recruited strength to the hazard of annihilation, by engaging in a new coalition.
If the king of Prussia consents to restore Hanover to its lawful sovereign, it is probably in consequence of the pressure of the claims of Bonaparte upon him, and the unceasing exertions of our most lawful and honorable ally the king of Sweden. This restitution is, of course, sufficient to induce a cessation of the hostile measures adopted by us with respect to Prussia. But it does not follow that we will be ready to grant subsidies which the king of Prussia may pocket, or to form coalitions which he may desert and betray as soon as an opportunity offers of making peace with France, and participating with that power in the plunder of its neighbors. It will probably turn out, that the differences between France and Prussia are of a mere private nature, touching the interest of the two states, and that they will be adjusted without an appeal to arms, or at least without much bloodshed. It is likely that France is averse to the formation of the northern confederacy, and that schemes of the Prussian cabinet have led to the existing differences, as well as the demands of cessions. If a new coalition is formed, and a general war on the point of commencing, those engaged in it are entitled at least to the praise of impenetrable secrecy and reserve; for there has not been, till this moment, any appearance of concert, nor is there even now any preparation which would lead the French government to believe that such a design is in agitation.
It is stated in the most recent accounts that Palm, the bookseller of Nuremberg, whose murder we noticed in our last, was offered his pardon on condition of giving up the author of the obnoxious publication—but he bravely disdained to save himself by betraying the trust reposed in him!!! His fate has excited a sensation in Germany which proves that country to be yet sensible to the emotions that ought to be excited in every free and generous nation by so foul a deed. We are rejoiced to find that the terror of French violence has no such influence as to prevent the strongest expressions of these emotions. A subscription has been set on foot for the relief of the family of Palm, and there was every appearance that a sufficient sum would be collected to afford a comfortable provision for those whom the murder of this illustrious victim has left destitute. We trust this example of the friends of freedom in Germany will be followed, in this country, with an ardor calculated to shew how we are capable of estimating the generous devotion of so noble a martyr to the great cause of which we are the leaders.
From a late estimation it appears that the expenses of lord Nelson's funeral amounted to 14,000/ 11s 6d and those of Mr. Pitt to 6045/ 2s 6d.

NORFOLK, November 20. Captain Sherman, arrived here from Malaga, informs, that early in September, as the U. S. schooner Enterprize, captain Porter, passed Algesiras, he was fired at and attacked by seven Spanish gun-boats, upon which he bore down on them until within hail without returning their fire: but finding that they still continued firing, notwithstanding his colors were hoisted, he poured into the Dons a few breadsides, which made them lurk into their skulking-holes.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28.
Departed this life last evening, in the 65th year of his age, captain RICHARD CONWAY, an old and very respectable inhabitant of this town. His remains will
on Thursday evening, be made arrangements for the ensuing season the following gentlemen were chosen managers: Nicholas Fitzhugh, Lewis Dobbins, Henry K. May, George Youngs, William D. Simms, William Fowle.
COMMERCIAL.
The American trade with the British West India colonies has heretofore been carried on under the restrictions of the proclamations of the different governors for six months continuance: We now find that an act of parliament has been passed taking it from the governors and placing it in the king in council—who have issued an order for permitting the trade for twelve months from the 17th of September 1806, to ports where custom houses are established; and confining the articles to Staves. Lumber of all sorts, and the different kinds of Pulse, Grain, Flour and Fish, under the denomination of provisions. There appears a material difference between the proclamations above referred to, and the Orders of the king in council;—which if we are correct in our construction of them, is of importance to those concerned in the trade. The proclamations always pointed out the different articles which were admissable, and declared that vessels bringing any others than such, would be seized; and stated that Rum and Molasses would only be permitted to be taken in return. The productions admitted are such as we have mentioned above: But the Orders of the king says, "Staves, Lumber, and all sorts of provisions, (excepting beef, pork, and butter,) are permitted. We think there are several kinds of "provisions," which may be sent in addition to the usual ones, not to be ranked with the exceptions; and for returns we are allowed to bring the productions of the colony, "except cocoa, coffee, sugar, cotton, and indigo." We may safely therefore add to the usual ones, several others; such as Pimento, Dye-woods, Hides &c. and the Orders differ from the proclamations in having no penalty attached to them. The commercial regulations for the West Indies are extended to the new conquered colony of Buenos Ayres.
MARKETS — At Trinidad the 16th of October. American provisions of every class extremely scarce; flour 24 dollars and not a barrel for sale. Fish 8 dollars,
Rice 10, Beef and Pork none. Lumber of every description scarce and dear. At Charleston, 25th ultimo, Upland Cotton was at 23 cents, Sea-Island 30 to 36. Beet, cargo, No. 1, 12 dollars; No. 2, 10 dollars. Northern Pork twelve dollars. (Boston Paper.)
FEMALE FECUNDITY.
The following is an extraordinary example of female fecundity, related by the Prussian Gazette:—The wife of a surgeon in Silesia, of the name of Dopser, has brought into the world, after two marriages, 44 children.—She was married at the age of 17, to this surgeon, was brought to bed 19 times during the marriage, and at eleven times gave him eleven children; of six times, twelve children; three at once; and at the 4th time 4. The total of of these nineteen lyings-in, produced them 30 children, i. e. 27 boys and 3 girls, who were all baptized. The first husband having died at the age of 42, the wife married a second time. She brought into the world during the second marriage, at the first lying-in, three boys; at the second, 5; and at the third, 6. Thus, at three lyings-in, 14 boys were brought into the world; but they were dead. Of all these children two only are left her. This extraordinary woman is only 47 years of age, and still continues to support her reputation of fecundity. She enjoys perfect health, and is always in good humor.

TO FRIENDSHIP.
O es presidium, et dulce decus meum! Yes! well I know thy magic charm, Thou fairest form in fancy's eye, Thy arm is stronger than the storm, Thy bosom than adversity. To know thy name is Cesar's lot, But Maro kneels before thy shrine; Thy home is oft the lowly cot, A garb of state is seldom thine. When evening lent her summer shade, To screen thy charms from envy's view, Bro' some sequas e'r'd walk I've stray'd And tho' when first those charms I knew. In earlier days I saw thy smiles, But did not dare to follow thee; I feared lest all thy ways were wiles, I deem'd thou wert mere fantasy. For Age oft told me to believe Thou wert some wilder'd poet's dream; Some phantom glimmering to deceive, As vapors shed their evening gleam. And once I felt an influence bland, And fondly tho't 'twere thine sweet maid; But In'trest wav'd her golden wand, Bound in the spell, the vision fled! But when I knew thee, all divine, O, how I lov'd thy sacred name! I thought the vital fire were thine, Which burns a pure perpetual flame. Let him whom sensual joys delight, Who never bow'd at friendship's shrine, Screen his dark form in kindred night, And smooth his sorrow'd front with wine. Say, shall I grasp the racy bowl, And cease awhile my cares to know, When Friendship's fire can warm my soul, And dry the tears of keenest woe! Muse, shall I throw my lyre away, Or burst the cords in wild despair, When friendship bids the wonted lay, And when that lay can sooth my care?
O no! her balm let Friendship pour, That oft has stopt my rising sigh, For tho' my boyhood scene is o'er, I've quaff'd the tears of sympathy. O Muse! the boon I crave bestow, Or else receive thy lyre again. The cords are all too high for woe, Nor will they sound the lofty strain. Give me to sing of Friendship's flame, No other theme my hope shall prove, Nor will I sigh at Delia's name, Nor envy him whose harp is Love.
