Printing, in its various branches, handsomely executed at this office.

EUROPEAN SKETCHES. It was an obvious supposition that the battle of Austerlitz, and the peace of Presburg would have restored, at least, the tranquility of the continent. The Russians were retiring from Moravia and Hanover; Prussia had acted a dubious part, which seems as much to bespeak the secret ally as the enemy of France; Austria, however, she might wish for her indemnity in the east, would apparently desire some breathing-time after an unfortunate war, which had exhausted her resources: Bonaparte had reaped laurels enough in the field; and all the south of Europe, except the little kingdom of Naples, seemed to have none of the materials of a new explosion. Even England herself might now begin to hope for peace, since the death of Mr. Pitt, and the introduction of the peace-loving principles of Mr. Fox into the ministry, seemed to remove the principal obstacles to its accomplishment.
There is little very interesting in the European intelligence lately received at Norfolk and New York. There is nothing certain, nothing momentous, nothing which gives the decided cast for peace or war. But there is little to confirm these flattering prospects of peace. On the contrary, there is scarce a country in Europe which seems to have placed its tranquility beyond interruption. We can see scarcely one, in which, uniting the causes of hostility previously known with the preparations actually making, we do not foresee some prospect of the old war being revived, or a new one being excited.
TURKEY is a gigantic body with a feeble head, exposed to aggression both at home and in Egypt, uncertain whether she ought most to dread the old ambition of Russia, that has so often feasted upon her provinces, or the keen appetite of Austria whetted by her late losses in Germany. That Bonaparte promised Austria an indemnity in the East for these losses; and that she will take every advantage of this concession, to extend her influence into Turkey; that the late cession of Venetian Dalmatia to France, will enable Bonaparte to seize upon the neighboring provinces of Bosnia and Servia; that to ransom these or even to arrest his march to Constantinople, it may be necessary to put him in possession of Egypt, so long the favorite object of his wishes and so complete a recompense for the loss of St. Domingo; these are so many probable events, which cannot escape the discernment or the fears of Turkey. But we can glean little of these events or of the policy of Turkey, from the intelligence which we have actually received. We are merely informed, that the cession of Venetian Dalmatia to the French, has spread terror throughout the divan; and that the Porte has entered into a new treaty of alliance with the court of St. Petersburg for nine years, for the purpose of making head against French arms and French principles.
AUSTRIA —lopped of several of her members and exhausted throughout by her late disasters, but eagerly waiting for an opportunity to obtain an indemnity in the East. Mean while it is whispered about that there are 84 secret articles to the treaty of Presburg, among which, may be stipulations for the division of Turkey and the indemnification of Austria. This arrangement it may be, which has probably induced the Austrian court to preserve its army for six months on the war footing.
NAPLES —a feeble body with a still feebler head, has by this time sunk into one of the "federative states of the empire." With what an insulting sang froid does Bonaparte issue his imperial bull? We, Napoleon, emperor of the French and king of Italy, &c. for divers weighty and sufficient causes, do solemnly depose from the throne and other sovereign authorities of his ancestors, Ferdinand the king of the two Sicilies, &c." Such are the haughty terms, in which he represents himself as the sovereign of Italy, and lays his title not upon Naples alone, but also the island of Sicily.
SPAIN —too, holds her independence at the mercy of France. A single army marched over the Pyrenees, would place one of the Napoleonic army on that throne, and on that of Portugal. It is even probable from the latest accounts that this danger is no longer ideal, but that an army has actually marched into Spain at the solicitation of the prince of peace.
SWEDEN —has not yet felt the vengeance of Bonaparte, for the troops which she sent into Hanover, to aid the late coalition. She has not yet lost her share of Pomerania. The probability is that her fate is connected with that of Prussia; and that, until France has more precisely fixed
her relations with Prussia, Sweden will escape her vengeance.
RUSSIA —seems not to have yet adopted that firm and consistent policy, by which her future relations are to be regulated. According to one account from St. Petersburg of January 29, she was returning to the state in which she existed before the war; her armies retreating from Germany and approaching the Russian frontiers, to occupy their former garrisons. But another account represents Alexander as "apprehensive that an attack may be made even upon his own territory. Redoubts are casting up at Warsaw, and other arrangements ordered, to guard against any attempt of this kind." One thing, however, seems to be indisputably true; that Russia has not yet made peace with France, nor made any explanation about the late violation of her neutrality. Another thing seems to be probable, that Russia will decline a fourth coalition; that she will not mix again in the wars of Europe, until Austria or France shall make an invasion upon Turkey, and call her out to the defence of her ally.
GREAT BRITAIN —had not yet concluded a peace with France, though it was rumored that she had sent forward with some propositions for a negotiation. An article from Amsterdam of February 11, particularly states that there was "a rumor (there) that a flag of truce had been sent from England to France, to demand passports from the French government for negotiators for a general peace. Even from Paris, we have had letters expressing, that since the death of Mr. Pitt, new hopes have been indulged upon that ground." Should Bonaparte declare war against Prussia, he will then probably be much more anxious to conclude a treaty with Great Britain. The converse of the proposition is perhaps not less true: that should he meet with insuperable difficulties in the way of an advantageous accommodation with Great Britain, he will be glad of an opportunity of attacking Prussia, as a pretext for declining the dangerous enterprise of an invasion of England. A war with Prussia will therefore smooth the way for a peace with England: but whether there is peace or war with England, a war with Prussia is almost equally probable. Meanwhile it is proper to notice, that in consideration of the embarrassed state of the foreign relations of Great Britain, the Roman Catholics of Dublin, and the friends of Parliamentary Reform in London, have determined to suspend their application to government for the redress of their local grievances. A schism can no longer arise in the ministry, on these important questions of internal policy. The English ministry will, therefore, still profit by the services of Mr. Fox in the cabinet; and Mr. Fox may at the same time preserve his principles and his place.
PRUSSIA —the second strongest power in the west of Europe; that power, which had lately in its hands the fate of the third coalition, and which might have put a stop to the arms of France, is, however, the great nation, to which the late intelligence from Europe principally relates.—Will there be a war between France and Prussia? Two months ago this was the great question at issue between the statesmen of Europe: before this, it has probably been determined by experience itself; but we are now in the same degree of obscurity in which the statesmen of Europe were then. Those who advocated the probability of a war, and we think they reasoned with the greatest force, declared, that "notwithstanding the encomiums which Bonaparte had been pleased to lavish in his bulletins upon the policy of Prussia, the demonstrations made by that power at the time he had pushed into Moravia were well calculated to excite both his suspicions and his fears; that were it not for the battle of Austerlitz and the extraordinary events which followed in the armistice, and the peace of Presburg, there is every ground for supposing that Prussia would have at that time declared war against France; that it was the unexpected termination of hostilities which necessarily exacted the greatest circumspection on the part of Prussia; that it was fortunate for her, that the emperor Alexander had left his troops at his disposal; that to this it is not improbable he owes the present possession of Hanover; and that whether he would retain the same preponderance now, that they had returned to their own country, the experience of a few weeks or days perhaps would determine." That Prussia was at that time well disposed towards the cause of the coalition; a disposition which could not be unknown to Bonaparte; they demonstrate by referring to the official communications of Prussia to the British government. "We know," say they, "from authority of the first consideration, that when the English minister applied to the
court of Berlin to ascertain the safety of our troops in Hanover, baron Hardenberg acquainted him, "that after the unfortunate occurrences in Moravia, the utmost circumspection was indispensable; that the most valiant armies could not command the favors of fortune; that therefore it was not only the interest of Prussia, but also the general interest, to prevent her from being attacked at that moment, when the whole weight of the war would fall upon her, and before any co-operation with other powers could be formed; that in case her troops should be defeated the last ray of hope would be extinguished, &c. &c." They declare that France will never forgive this suspicious fidelity on the part of Prussia; and that the time is not far distant, when she will avenge it by a war. To what other cause than this, are we to attribute the great military preparations which are made by France on the borders of the Rhine? Under the pretext of enforcing her contributions on the city of Frankfort, she has collected there large masses of troops. "Since the 8th of February, says an article from Frankfort of the 11th, the French and Batavian troops in our environs have been considerably reinforced, and it appears that in conjunction with the garrison of Mentz, a considerable army will be formed on the Upper and Lower Mayne. The report is, that there will be 200,000 men extending from Basle to Holland, which will remain in that position till all the foreign troops in the north of Germany shall have entirely quitted that territory."
Some of the English papers go on to detail the very course which will carry Bonaparte into a war with Prussia. They say that "The city of Frankfort has been severely amerced; may not the next imposition be laid upon Cassel or Dresden? It is impossible that Bonaparte can forget the affront offered by the elector of Hesse to a division of his army, to which a passage was, in the first instance, refused, though afterwards granted, on the condition that it should defile through his dominions disarmed, and under escort. May not this affected grievance, upon the refusal of the elector to submit to a contribution under the name of a loan, be converted into a pretext for a sudden irruption into his territories? Nothing is more likely than that Hesse and Saxony will be invited to contribute in some way towards the subsistence or accommodation of the formidable French army which is collected in their neighborhood. The impositions may be acquiesced in to a certain extent but we question whether the endurance of these powers will be proof against the known rapacity and insolence of Auge-reau."
But these formidable preparations will be directed against Hesse and Saxony, in the first instance, and Prussia ultimately. She may attempt to retire from the storm, but Bonaparte will most probably drive her into submission or war.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, April 28.
By the ship Factor, Caldwell, in 43 days from Greenock, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received a file of Greenock papers to the 12th of March, and London to the 8th inclusive. They do not furnish an article of political intelligence, though ten days later than any previous advices from that quarter.
In the English high court of admiralty, on the 7th of March, it was decreed in the case of the ship Robert Murray, Swanson master, captured and carried into Guernsey with a cargo of sugar, that the ship and cargo be restored as claimed, reserving the question of costs and damages and captors expenses.
In the case of the Chance, captain Brown with a cargo of slaves, captured and sent into Jamaica, their lordships condemned the cargo, the ship having been restored by the inferior court.
The Alexis, Livingston, from Wilmington, arrived at Greenock on the 22d February; and the Hope, M George, from Boston; Bedford, Humphreys, from Charleston, Mary, Rice, from Savannah; Recovery, Wylie, from New York; and Ardent, Crossthwaite, do. on the 23d, having all experienced very bad weather. The Ardent, had her head and quarter boards washed away in a heavy gale.
London, March 1:
The king has been pleased to appoint Francis Gore, esquire to be Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Upper Canada.
The king has also been pleased to appoint John Hodgson, Esquire, Brigadier General of his Majesty's forces, to be
Governor of the Bermuda, or Somers I. lands.
Last night Paris papers to the 20th ult. were received. The following are the most prominent articles:
Paris, February 8.
The head quarters of Prince Joseph are at Perento. On the 8th February his advanced guard passed the Carigliano at Ciprano. The army is on the march for Naples; the right commanded by gen. Riegner, the centre by marshal Massena, and the left by gen. Lecchi, commandant of the Italian troops.
March 3.
It was very currently reported yesterday, that an overture had been received from the French government, tending to a negotiation between the two countries. There is no truth in the report, which has probably arisen from the circumstance of a communication having been received by the Transport board, by way of Morlaix on Saturday which however is supposed to have related solely to the business of an exchange of prisoners.
The Diligence sloop of war has arrived at Deal, with a convoy of 26 sail of transports, having on board general Paget's brigade and the 6th division of the German legion from the continent.
The admiralty board has ordered the squadron along the French coast, from St. Malo to Ostend, to be considerably strengthened.
Saturday government received advice of some movement on the enemy's coast, indicative of an early attack on Guernsey and Jersey, and all the light frigates and sloops at Portsmouth have been ordered to sail immediately for their defence, under the orders of captain Griffiths, of the Constance, of 24 guns. Orders have likewise been sent to Portsmouth, to equip the Thisbe of 28 guns, with all possible dispatch, to receive the flag of the Prince de Bouillon.
March 6.
We learn via Biscay, that a violent ferment had broke out in the provinces of Arragon and Catalonia, having for its object certain measures of reform recommended by the prince of Austria, which are opposed by the prince of Peace, who has called up France to assist in quelling the disturbance. It is supposed the prince himself has secretly occasioned this ferment that he may have a pretext to appeal to the grand arbitrator of nations.
Greenock, March 22.
In the house of commons, on Saturday, Mr. Whitbread moved, that the report presented on Tuesday last, be referred to the committee of managers who are to conduct the impeachment of lord Melville, in order that they may be enabled to frame a tenth article of charge against the noble viscount, founded on the statement of peculation, which that report contained. This motion was agreed to, and the honorable manager stated that the committee would be in readiness to make good their charges whenever lord Melville put in his answer to this last article, and the house of lords should intimate that they were prepared to enter on a judicial hearing. In the upper house, the lord chancellor presented a declaratory bill, in conformity with the opinion declared by himself, lords Eldon, Ellenborough, and eight of the judges, rendering it compulsory on witnesses to answer every relevant question, even though the reply may render them liable to a civil process for debt. The question of indemnity to be granted to witnesses in certain cases, stands over for subsequent consideration.
Yesterday's London Gazette contains the appointment of the honorable Henry Erskine, to be lord advocate, and of John Clark, esq. to be his majesty's solicitor for Scotland.
No advices had been received at the admiralty respecting the French squadrons, prior to the departure of the mail.
One of our London papers of last night stops the press to mention the receipt of letters from Holland to the 6th instant; but they do not contain any thing worthy of particular notice. A proclamation had been issued, forbidding the importation of India goods, calicoes, &c. into Brabant, but nothing is said respecting the present situation of the kingdom of Naples, nor do the papers contain the expected speech of Bonaparte to the Senatus Consultum, on which high expectations have of late been placed; it being apprehended, that from the substance of that speech, we shall be enabled to form an opinion of most of his future views, as far as relates to Britain or the continent.
House of Commons, March 3.
The gallery was opened at 12 o'clock, and filled gradually till four. The debate is expected to be very interesting on Mr. Spencer Stanhope's motion, respecting the

propriety of lord Ellenborough retaining a seat and a vote in the cabinet. The same question stands for discussion in the house of lords this evening, on the motion of the earl of Bristol.
Mr. Sheridan, admiral Markham, Mr. Courtney, and colonel Mac Mahon, took the oaths and their seats.
Mr. W. Dundas stated, that as the Scots Bankrupt Act expired on the 25th of March he should therefore on Wednesday sevenday move for leave to bring in a bill continuing the said act.
Mr. Whitbread gave notice, that tomorrow he should submit a special communication from the impeachment committee against lord Melville.
Mr. Johnstone deferred till Thursday his motion for the production of the papers last week submitted to the court of directors of the East India company.
The Qualification Indemnity bill was passed and sent to the lords.
On the motion of Mr. Vansittart, the house went into a committee on certain Irish Revenue Acts. It was resolved, that as the said acts expire on the 25th instant, the same should be continued for a time to be limited. Report to-morrow.
In a committee of supply, the ordinary estimates for the service of the navy for 1806 were voted. Report to-morrow.
Mr. S. Stanhope is now addressing the house. He did not bring forward this as an opposition question.
From Rotterdam papers to the first of March, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser, by the ship Paragon.
From the Russian, frontiers, Jan. 10. According to report, a Russian army of 200,000 men is collecting in Lithuania, the head quarters of which are to be at Wilna. It is said that the emperor will shortly repair thither, and to Brest, to review it.
There has been a great talk here, that the king of Prussia was to pay a visit to the Russian capital; but it is more probable, that our emperor, during his absence, will again pass a few days at Berlin.
Petersburg, Feb. 5. On intelligence being received here that several Russian merchantmen had been stopped in the French ports, and the crews escorted to the interior of the country, official intimation was given to M. Lesseps, the French consul residing here, that since this measure was notoriously repugnant to the commercial treaty existing between Russia and France, there would be a necessity of adopting a similar measure with respect to the property of Frenchmen in this country. The consul has dispatched a courier to Paris on the subject.
The importation of merchandizes in this city during the last year, amounted to 19,933,450 rubles, and the exportation to 151,654 rubles.
Venice, February 6. A proclamation was lately issued here, by which those who have in their possession merchandizes, bills of exchange, monies, &c. belonging either to the governments of Russia, England & Naples, or to the subjects of those countries, are required to deliver in a list thereof to the minister of war, within 24 hours, on pain of forfeiture, and a fine to half the value of the property so concealed; the government reserving to itself the taking of special measures against those who may conceal or send away the property of said nations.
Great endeavors are now exerting to organize our once celebrated bank. Our merchants pant for peace with England, which alone can reanimate our commerce. The inhabitants of Trieste already avail themselves of the advantages which the neutral Austrian flag offers.
The loan of two millions of francs opened here by the French government, is quite full. The capital and interest at 5 per cent. will be discharged within the period of six years.
Naples, Feb. 5. The Crown Prince to whom the king, before his departure, had entrusted the government of the country, had dispatched prince Theodore to prince Joseph, to enter into negotiations with him. A courier is arrived with intelligence, that these negotiations have terminated in smoke; and there was nothing more for our royal family to hope or to stipulate. This news has made a wonderful impression; all the lazaroni howling with rage, flew to arms; the crown prince has put himself at their head; and a resolution has been taken of defending the country to the last extremity. The brother of the crown prince has set off from thence, with the view of putting himself at the head of the crowd en masse in Calabria. The French, however, are already on our frontiers; and should this instantaneous determination of resistance continue till the parties come in concert, the most dreadful scenes may be expected to ensue.
Leipzig, Feb. 15. A report was circulated here to day, that proposals had been made at Paris by a great power for a peace on equitable
conditions between France and England. It is added that the Emperor Napoleon did not positively reject them. In the mean time it is conjectured that the emperor will not go into the subject till the fate of Naples is decided.
Berlin, Feb. 18. Among the troops still kept in motion are those of the garrisons of Berlin, Potsdam, and Brandenburg; they may be in marching readiness at any time in the course of three weeks.
From the Lower Elbe, Feb. 21. It is said that important negotiations will be opened at Paris in the course of a few weeks, for the conclusion of an offensive and defensive alliance for the term of ten years, between France, Austria, Bavaria and Württemberg.
The court of Vienna purposes to communicate to the Diet at Ratisbon the treaty of Peace concluded at Presburg, with the explanations belonging to it. The French will remain in Germany till that treaty shall be fulfilled in all its parts, with the requisite exactitude.
It is still said that the Electorate of Baden is to be fun into a kingdom by a new accession of territory; and that the crown prince, after entering into the nuptial state with a princess of the imperial family of France, will be proclaimed the first Baden monarch.
It is reported that the Marquis Lucchesini, the Prussian Ambassador at Paris, had been recalled. This report has its origin in the north of Germany.
Schiedam, Feb. 28. A letter from Berlin, dated the 18th February says:—“The regiment of Gens d'Armes has received orders to recal to their duty the surplus of their number, absent on furlough; and the royal field equipage is once more in readiness.”
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, MAY 3.
Letters have been received in town as late as the 3d instant, from Laguira, at which time the embargo was off, but it was generally supposed it would be laid again should Miranda make his appearance on the coast. There were no apprehensions of Miranda's succeeding, as they had called all the militia from the interior, and had fortified the principal points. Cocoa was from 22 to 24 dollars. Coffee 18 to 21. Dry goods a mere drug.
[New York paper.]
Captain Kirks, from Laguira, informs that a number of Danish vessels from St. Croix, and St. Thomas, have been admitted at Laguira and have supplied the place with dry goods for at least twelve months; Flour 11 dollars per barrel, out of which you pay a duty of 4 dollars and seventy five cents per barrel; Cocoa, and coffee, none of any consequence at market. The port continues shut to neutrals, notwithstanding some few gain admittance.
Captain Thomas Goodwin, of the ship Farmer, of Kittere, N. E. from Barbadoes to Recas Key, where he arrived for the purpose of ballasting with salt; an unfortunate got his hand blown off by a musket bursting, which obliged him to come to Laguira for medical assistance. He died on the second instant of his wound. The ship is taken possession of by a sch'r uncertain whether American or English, and carried off. Part of the crew of the Farmer are in prison at Laguira, on suspicion of their being English. In the Mona passage was boarded by the British frigate Magician, M'Kinsey, detained but a short time and treated with politeness.
The utmost confusion was in the province of Carracas, owing to the captain general having received information that general Miranda had failed from New York for St. Domingo to take troops for the purpose of making an attack on the Spanish Main.
[Phil. paper.]
The following extracts from the Speeches of that independent son of Virginia, JOHN RANDOLPH, were given us by a gentleman, who took them down while Mr. Randolph was speaking. Coming as they do from such an elevated personage, and one of the late friends of Mr. Jefferson and his administration, they were too novel to escape his notice, and so correct and remarkable that we have been induced to lay them before the public in the most conspicuous terms. We beg Democrats to give them a candid perusal, and to recollect that these are not Federal Calumnies, but the genuine effusions and bold assertions of one of their own idols. This is not Federal but Democratic Evidence. Surely they will now believe.
[Washington Federalist.]
“We have been trading these FIVE years past on FEDERAL CAPITAL: when that is exhausted, I fear we shall be Bankrupt both in resources and reputation.”
“I have no hesitation in saying, that the principal part of the mischiefs which this nation has endured for the last two years, have sprung from the King's Closet, and the Keeper of that Closet.” Meaning, it is said, Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison.
“The point is now at issue, whether this country shall be governed by
the principles of the constitution, or by a secret, invisible, irresponsible, Cabinet. I am prepared to meet that issue.”
Our democratic editors have generally considered the London Morning Chronicle as one of themselves, and with some appearance of reason, for that paper has upon many occasions echoed back the fulsome adulations which have been lavished here upon men and measures of a certain character.
It may be amusing to them to see the language of that paper upon the subject that has produced the following remarks, which are copied from the Chronicle of the 27th February. Thus we see how finely our violent measures are to gain us partisans in Britain.
[Norfolk Ledger.]
We are sorry to observe the intemperate manner in which the American legislature has taken up the supposed subjects of complaint against this country. There is reason to think, however, that this violence will be discountenanced by the majority of the house of representatives, or at least by the senate, should intemperance succeed in the popular assembly.
As to the pressing of American seamen by our ships of war, it is very possible that instances of that sort have occurred, though we shall demand much better authority for the fact than the clamor of American captains. But, on the other hand, it is notorious that there are many British seamen now serving on board American ships who when claimed may be represented as Americans. It is well known too that by sailing two years from an American port, and we believe, by means still more simple, and compendious, such as forged certificates, many British sailors by birth are, converted into American citizens, and these persons, in many instances, may be the American sailors pressed. We have no doubt whatever, that in 19 cases out of 20 the pressed men are British subjects by birth, fraudulently and falsely certified as Americans.
But allowing that native Americans have sometimes been pressed by British vessels, is not that a grievance which may be amicably adjusted between the two governments? Is it necessary that the American government, as if upon a denial of justice and satisfaction, should enact laws which in their scope and tendency amount to a legislation, subversive of the dearest rights and privileges of other independent nations? If the American government is to enact new laws for the definition of piracy, and for its punishment too, in a summary way, they will see where this will end.
The proposal to regulate against a supposed grievance of this sort, and to enact a municipal law for the offence committed by foreigners, we think has a novel and rather presumptuous appearance, because if the grievance be of that severity as to justify an appeal to force, war is the natural remedy on the denial of justice. The course adopted, indeed, breathes a spirit of hostility, but it appears to lay down a new and false principle of legislation. Self defence against an unjust attack is the right of all; but to encourage men by bounties to resist when probably they are in the wrong, or at least where a legal appeal to justice lies open, is a most extraordinary proceeding. A captain of an English frigate may be tried and executed, as a pirate, by an American tribunal, for reclaiming on board an American fishing boat, one of his own runaway seamen, and any person resisting this attempt to reclaim such runaway, are promised a bounty of 200 dollars. And if an American seaman is impressed, he and his heirs, &c. are entitled to recover 60 dollars per month, to be attached upon debts owing to the country impressing such seamen.
Perhaps there never was exhibited before the world so strange a specimen of legislation; but we can consider it as nothing but the effervescence of some warm blood, which the sober reflection of others will correct.
The other point, that of spoliations committed by this country, is one of much delicacy; but where it is so manifestly the interest of both parties to come to an amicable arrangement, we have no doubt that the dispute will be entirely adjusted. The Americans may, perhaps, have some cause of complaint, that after what they understood as an admitted relaxation of the strict and ancient law against the commerce carried on by neutrals with hostile countries and their colonies, or after a practical relaxation of that law, sufficient notice of a reverting to the old system was not given. If the American government can plead this, they are entitled to attention, because there can be no real contravention of a law but where that law is known, not as a dead letter, but as the practical rule. In other respects the American claims, as far as we can judge from their arguments, are perfectly new, natural for them to assert, but utterly repugnant to the practice of this country in the best times, and to the rights of belligerent States on the soundest principles of public law.
The whole of this important question however, will probably soon come into discussion officially between the two countries; and we have no doubt,
that while on one hand prompt redress will be given for real injuries, not a jot will be yielded of those rights which this country has always asserted and exercised as just towards others, and essential to its own preservation.

RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Fauquier county and state of Virginia, near Reston Town, a negro man named TOM, and negro woman named PHILLIS, his wife.

The man took with him two fine cloth coats, one a blue the other a white, two jackets, one of black satin, the other linsey, striped with blue, grey cloth overalls, grey great coat and white fur'd hat. PHILLIS is very black, well made, of middle size, some of her teeth cut before, and about forty eight years of age. She took with her one calico habit, one white sprigged muslin habit, one blue stuff petticoat, one jacket and petticoat of linsey, striped with black, and two striped blankets. They were brought from the lower part of this state, near where Counsellor Carter lived. They will probably change their clothes, and procure passes, and mix with Carter's freed negroes, as they were acquainted with them, or they may make for Fredericksburg or Alexandria, having some knowledge of both these places. They formerly belonged to major Valentine Peers, of Prince William, and were sold by him to Mr. George Newman, of Centerville.

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Causin, at Port Tobacco.
