Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESLEY . 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.

HAMBURGH, August 5.
For some time a great fermentation has reigned in Swedish Pomerania; those who are injured by the new order of things loudly express their discontent. On the other hand the inhabitants of the country are very well satisfied, villenage having been oppressive in that country, even more so than in any part of the Prussian states. The king since he succeeded to the throne, has been frequently petitioned by the states to receive the performance of fealty and homage as duke of Pomerania; but his majesty has constantly postponed satisfying this desire under various pretexts. However, the king will now take oath as KING of Sweden, and the queen it is said is expected for this purpose at Stralsund.
There has been much talk of the changes that have taken place at St. Petersburg; what is certain is, that M. and Mad. De Narischkin have quitted the court.

ENSCHEDE, August 3.
The 65th French regiment of infantry, forty French artillerymen, with two pieces of cannon and four waggons, set out on the 1st inst. one division for Steinfurt, and the other for Bentheim. They are probably destined to take possession of the counties of Bentheim and Steinfurt, in the name of the duke of Cleves, the Prussian troops having quitted their position on the approach of the French. We learn from Uslum, a little town in that county, that other French troops have arrived from Northurn; that the Prussians had evacuated Nienhuis; and that the officers of all ranks of the county of Bentheim had been convoked, in order to take the oath to their new sovereign, to be administered by general Davoust, commandant of the French troops. According to the other news from that country, the oath of fidelity was to be administered by two distinguished persons who were every instant expected from Dusseldorf, and who would take civil possession as well of that country as of the country on this side the Ems. The count of Bentheim Steinfurt will retain all his real and personal property: but two members of the regency at Steinfurt have already taken the oath of fidelity to the new sovereign.
STATE PAPER.
Declaration in council of his majesty the king of Prussia to the assembled deputies of the Hanoverian Provinces.
GENTLEMEN,
By your appointment, your Deputy, count Von Horseburg, has laid before me your representation to the 3d instant; and I have observed from it, with satisfaction, that you have acknowledged with gratitude my regulations in regard to the Hanoverian states. The additional sentiments therein contained are to me a security, that you will henceforth adhere to me and my house with the same loyalty which you discovered for your former sovereigns. I therefore have made no delay in more closely learning from your delegates those concerns that were entrusted to them by you, and now communicate you the following answer to the declaration given in by them.
1. With regard to the secularization of the abbey of Marienrode, and the representation relative thereto, that not only the constitution of the states thereby suffered an alteration, but that one of the securities thereby appropriated to the public revenue, and the discharge of the public debt, would be withdrawn, should the revenues of the said abbey be inseparably united with the possession of the domains, contrary to the legal agreement between the impropriators and the states, whereby the revenues accruing from the secularize spiritual foundations shall be distinctly and separately applied to charitable purposes: it shall be observed that this abbey legally belongs to Hildesheim, and thus my particular regulation respecting the same can in no way prejudice the said constitution. Besides, I have expressly established in the act of secularization, that in the mean time no change shall take place in respect
to the contribution chargeable upon this abbey, towards the national revenue and the redemption of the public debt. For the rest, as it is far from being my intention to alter the destination of the effects of the abbey to charitable purposes, I feel satisfied in assuring you, that the special administration of such parts as have been separated from the domains and the applications thereof to such beneficent and laudable purposes, shall be scrupulously continued, and the utmost care shall be taken both to augment these revenues by good management, and to ameliorate the mode of applying them, by the removal of existing abuses.
2. The ad interim prohibition of homemade salt is to be considered solely as an inevitable regulation of police for securing an equal supply of that article of primary necessity, and cannot have the apprehended pernicious consequences, since the supply of salt will not thereby be diminished, but will only receive another direction.
3. The continuance of the hitherto existing constitution of the country in general, and,
4. The continuance of the provincial constitutions in particular purpose that a new and more intimate acquaintance with them may be more necessary, than the commission of organization has been able to procure, in so short a period, and under such difficult circumstances. But they will incessantly continue their labors in this respect, and I will not hereafter introduce any arbitrary changes, but such only as may be necessary to unite as intimately as possible the Hanoverian territory with my monarchy, of which it constitutes a part, and to govern it by such laws as have been found, by long experience, the fundamental pillars of the power, the security and prosperity of the Prussian states; where from the established constitution will be so little excluded, that it will much rather be built up and strengthened, as you may learn from the example of the neighboring provinces Brandenburg, Magdeburg and Halberstadt.
5. The petition, with regard to any new modifications, upon which the states, together with their privileged orders, who may, perhaps, have particular knowledge of the subject, shall be consulted, before that introduction, on account of injurious consequences apprehended therefrom, is wholly conformable to the spirit of the maxims of the Prussian government, and will be pursued by the commission of organization in all doubtful cases whatsoever, and without particular instructions.
Finally, the military regulations, as soon as it can be done with safety, shall be so modified that the grievances of the country, connected with the present extraordinary measures, shall wholly cease.
From this answer you will infer, and I give you with pleasure, the strong assurances on this head that my whole endeavors are exclusively directed to heal the wounds, which hitherto unhappy wars have produced, and to render your country completely happy. Neither ambition nor the lust of territory, but solely a conviction founded on experience, that the incorporation of the Hanoverian states with the Prussian monarchy, is obviously necessary for the welfare and security of both, have determined me to this union, and to the sacrifices connected with it. The past has taught you that England cannot protect you, and that you can be protected by Prussia alone. Prussia has now taken upon herself this protection, from which you have to expect great security of person and of property, as well as the abolition of all oppressive abuses which the distance of your rulers produced. But you must closely unite with a government which has wrought you all these blessings, and support, with counsel and action, a constitution which has been decided upon for your benefit. On the other hand, I will always approve myself your gracious sovereign.
(Signed)
FREDERICK WILLIAM.
Charlottenburg, June 24, 1806.
DEPOSITION OF PIUS VI.
The following account of the deposition and death of the late pope, Pius the 6th (from Sansom's letters from Europe) may be read, with peculiar interest, since the new emperor of the French has evinced an intention to secularize the remaining states of the church, and complete the degradation of the papacy.
THE portentous interval of 1797 was wasting away in torpid irresolution, when Joseph Bonaparte, brother to the general, arrived from Paris, as minister plenipotentiary from the redoubtable republic. The first days of the minister's reception had been spent in pompous entertainments and idle altercations, when a popular commo-
tion took place in the streets, and the insurgents took shelter in the palace of the ambassador, in the palazzo Corsini, in the suburb of Transtevere.
It was on the 28th of December, one thousand seven hundred and ninety seven, a few days after the preceding event, that the papal troops no longer able to restrain their indignation at the sight of the insurgents, braving them with impunity in the palace of the republic, forcibly violated the privileged asylum, to arrest the disturbers of the public peace. The honor of the French ambassador would not permit him to remain a quiet spectator of such an event, whether his principles were implicated in it or not. He appeared at a balcony, but strove in vain to be heard, while general Duphot, a member of his household, in attempting to repel the rioters, fell a victim to their rage. The pope was indisposed. The cardinal secretary was wholly unacquainted with what had happened; and such was the supineness of clerical administration that it was two hours after the sinister event before any public notice was taken of the affair—fourteen had expired before official enquiry was made upon the spot. During that interval the stupor of the cardinal secretary had been aroused by a letter from the ambassador to acquaint him with his determination to quit immediately the inhospitable city, and to demand of him the necessary passports. The brother of Bonaparte was at length, in vain, solicited to remain at Rome. He departed the next morning for Florence, from whence he transmitted to the directory an irritating narrative of the un pardonable event. The enraged ambassador condescended, however, to charge himself with a dispatch for the marquis Massimi, the pope's minister at Paris (of a family that claims descent from the Fabii Maximi of antiquity) in which cardinal Doria, the minister who steered with feeble hands the barque of St. Peter, when the shattered hull was ingulphed by the revolutionary whirlpool, declared himself, with the meekness of a primitive apostle, desirous to make any satisfaction that should be demanded for the unfortunate affair, which he could neither have foreseen nor prevented.
But no reparation from the weak could appease the resentment of the strong—the fable of the wolf and the lamb was to be realized, and the plea of incapacity, was disallowed by the thirst of rapine. The armies of the republic in the Cisalpine did not wait for orders to take exemplary vengeance on the helplessness of Rome. They marched without delay for the banks of the Tyber, and general Berthier had already taken the command of the forces collected at Ancona, on the 25th of January. Only retarded by the snags of the Apennine, the general of the republic advanced, without resistance, to the very gates of Rome, preceded by a manifesto, in the usual style of military policy, offering peace to one party on condition of assisting to exterminate the other.
Emboldened by these assurances, on the 15th of February, one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight, the malcontents assembled in the Campo Vaccino (the forum that had teemed with Scipios and Cæsars) proclaimed Rome independent of its clerical sovereign, and planted, without opposition, the tree of liberty in the soil of the capitol. At noon a deputation of patriots was sent to general Berthier to acquaint him with the revolution which had been so easily effected; and the same evening, preceded by martial music, surrounded by staff officers, and followed by a troop of horse, the republican commander traversed, amidst an innumerable multitude, the piazza del popolo, and by the strada del corso ascended the hill of the capitol, where he apostrophised the names of the Catos, the Brutus's, and the Pompeys, promised to re-erect the altar of Roman freedom, and returned in triumph to his expecting troops.
In the mean time the astonished members of the Sacred College assembled, in silence and solitude, in the echoing vestibules and airy halls, which they had been accustomed to ascend, amidst opening crowds, obsequious to the rustle of imperial robes. In this parting interview, in which Pius bade farewell—a long farewell to all his greatness, is said to have retained the majesty of misfortune, whilst the adulatory brotherhood knelt once more before the throne of their aspiration, saluted each other with the kiss of peace, and withdrew to seek their safety in concealment, or in flight.
A provisional government was soon established, which subsisted under different modifications till the Directory thought proper to abandon their conquest. The remaining cardinals were obliged to quit Rome, and leave their effects behind them,
at the mercy of the conquerors. Some of the despairing fathers withdrew to Naples, others to Milan, Bologna, Florence; but the greatest number of them took refuge in the Venetian territories, where Chiaramonti was elected on the decease of Pius VI. to re-occupy the abdicated chair. The Pope's nephews, the cardinal and the duke, were stripped of their ill-gotten wealth, without mercy or commiseration; and the pontiff himself was soon informed that the public safety required his absence from the territories of the new republic.
Pius submitted without a murmur, to the decree that exiled him from the theatre of pomp and power, of intrigue and apprehension; but he is said to have shed tears in secret over the splendid Museum which it had been the pride of his heart to denominate and enrich.
The venerable priest was first conducted to Sienna, where he was lodged in the convent of St. Barbara; but he was soon afterward removed to Florence, that he might be under the eye of the minister of the French Republic. The tottering grand duke saluted the fallen pontiff with tears of sympathetic apprehension; and assigned for the residence of the holy father, a Carthusian monastery, in the vicinity of his capital.
In this situation the exiled sovereign is said to have still indulged his peculiar relish for a luxurious table; and even the gusto of his personal vanity, which could yet be gratified by sitting to a painter for a flattering portrait of his Lord-age.
But when the degraded Prelate was afterward summoned to Paris, to swell the triumph of the unchristian Directory over the religious establishments of antiquity, and was happily detained by their sudden downfall, in the city of Valence, whose crumbling battlements reminded him of his own decay, the mortified pontiff renounced all hope of restoration to the seat of spiritual empire, and resigned himself to the fidelity of the arch bishop of Corinth and a few devoted attendants, who daily wheeled his armed chair into an open balcony to receive the homage of the faithful, and scatter a parting benediction over his dispersed flock.
From the Boston Repository.
Though the administration papers are in a sad quandary, whether they ought, for Mr. Jefferson's sake, to allow that the Spanish minister is reappointed, and accordingly some of them admit it, and others deny it, a majority, however, continue to assert positively that the marquis has received new credentials, and we believe it.
The marquis went from Philadelphia as far south as Baltimore. Silly Ally , the president's printer, who now represents the government of the United States! heard of his coming, and immediately sat himself about manufacturing more of what he calls "THE DISTANT THUNDER." There was a great deal of it used about a year ago, and experience proved, that though very loud it was as harmless as a cracker. Jefferson and Smith both handle it now without looking pale, they only look silly.
PEALS OF "DISTANT THUNDER."
1st Peal. "If the announcement of the marquis' reappointment is from himself, it is entitled to little credit; (here is an implication that the marquis is a habitual liar.) Bravo! Mr. Smith—"Encore, encore! Let him roar, let him roar! Once more, once more!" (for the man who has heretofore, so shamefully distorted facts, and so grossly misrepresented the measures of our government, may mistake, and probably has mistated, in this instance, the measures of his own.)
2d Peal. "If the king of Spain has unqualifiedly approved the conduct of his minister, and has thus made his acts those of the Spanish government, much as we may regret the folly of the measure (gentlemen do please to walk down cellar where the thunder hurts nobody, for—here it comes)—WE MUST TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES!"
(There's an expression for you!) 3d Peal. "If Spain will permit her to be deceived, and will adopt the injudicious conduct of her agents, SHE MUST TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES!"
This last peal shook the capital to its foundations, and the city of tea and tobacco like Atna. The marquis was at the time; he heard the rumbling; O stupor! steteruntque come.
After he had finished the business, which was his only object in visiting that city, he went back to Philadelphia.

From the New York Evening Post.
[Extracts from "REMARKS" on the news that a Spanish force was marching into a part of the Louisiana territory claimed by the United States.]
REMARKS.
BY this information it will appear that we are at least on the eve of a war with Spain, if it has not already commenced. In this important crisis, it becomes every American print to speak with caution: If our country is once engaged in war, the efforts of every man in it, whatever be his politics, or however he may view the mea-sures of the administration, as having been much, or little, or not at all conducive to such an untoward event, must be exerted in its defence. To permit resentment a-gainst a weak or wicked administration, to sway us when patriotism or self preserva-
tion call to action, would be unworthy fe-deralists. Still, it does not follow that we are to shut our eyes to the remote or im-me-diate cause of the war. If the government is to blame, we see no reason the people should not be acquainted with it. Let us look for a moment then, at the state of af-fairs in the quarter where this rupture has shewn itself.
It seems that a force consisting of "800 Spanish soldiers and nearly as many Indi-ans" "were on their march for and were within a few miles of the Adais, a post 18 miles from Natchitoches." Natchitoches is situated due west of the Mississippi, as I should judge from an examination of the map before me, and as to which I cannot be greatly mistaken, upwards of one hundred miles; north west of the town of New Orleans nearly two hundred and fifty miles; and of the Gulph of Mexico by the river Adais, about one hundred and fifty.
The Spanish governor has ordered his troops to retake possession of Natchito-ches, on the ground that our purchase did not extend so far westward as to comprise that place.
Without going into an examination of title and boundaries here, let us advert to the president's secret message relative to Spain, as lately published by Mr. Ran-dolph.
Having told us that "in order to obtain justice, as well as to restore friendship, he had thought a special mission advisable, and therefore had sent Mr. Munroe to Madrid," he proceeded to inform us, that:
"After nearly five months of fruitless endeavor to bring them to some definitive and satisfactory result, our minister ended the conference, without having been able to obtain indemnity for spoliations of any description, or any satisfaction as to the boundaries of Louisiana, other than a de-cla-ration that we had no rights eastward of the Iberville [thus denying us a foot of land east of the Mississippi] and that our line to the west was one which would have left us but a string of land on that bank of the Mississippi."
In his public message that was to go up-on the journals and be made known to the people, he said:
"Propositions for amicably adjusting the boundaries of Louisiana have not been ac-cepted to. While however the right is unsettled, we have avoided changing the state of things, by taking new poss or strengthening ourselves in the disputed ter-ritories," &c.
From these extracts it is clear, first, that Spain denies that we have any right by the Louisiana purchase, to any thing more than a mere string of land on the west bank of the Mississippi; and, secondly, that the executive had ordered that till the dis-pute as to boundaries should be adjusted, the state of things within the disputed ter-ritory should remain as they were: Hav-ing thus a prospect of the whole ground as furnished by Mr. Jefferson himself, we take the liberty to ask how it comes that any attempt should be made by force of arms, to dispossess Spain of Natchitoches, or to keep the post at Adais; situated as they are more than a hundred miles west of the western bank of the Mississippi? We have not forgot that, in order to pre-serve harmony with Spain, by not exercis-ing any act of ownership in the eastern disputed territory, he erected a post of entry in the middle of a vast wood, instead of at the mouth of the Mobile: in order to preserve consistency, ought he not then to have refrained also from exercising any act of ownership in the disputed western territory?
To conclude with a single remark: We once more beg it may be recollected, that while one party in the United States extol-led the Louisiana purchase, as the most glorious event of the age, and which was to encircle the brow of Mr. Jefferson with a garland of perennial honors; the other pronounced the acquisition, hampered and entangled as it was, a PANDORA'S BOX, from which were to issue the direst plagues this ill-fated country ever witnessed.

Patent Threshing Machine.
I HAVE invented a machine for threshing all kinds of Grain contained in straw, stem or chaff, particularly wheat, this machine has been found on fair trial to answer completely the purpose for which it was intended. Farmers now have it in their power to get out their grain with expedition, free of dirt, white caps or loss. This machine is constructed on entirely new principles; its operation is by flails encircled by a cylinder moved upon friction wheels, and can be regulated at pleasure, to thresh the grain more or less, as the dampness, dryness, or particular kinds of grain may require it. It will be found upon examining the principles on which this machine is constructed that it will be the fault of the possessor if any grain passes unthreshed; it separates the grain from the straw and chaff, as it threshes also the chaff from the straw; the construction is by no means complicated—not liable to get out of order, and not expensive to erect. It has been found by fair experiment the power of four small mules or two good horses, are sufficient to thresh and clean one hundred bushels per day with great ease. Those on extensive farms who wish more grain threshed per day may obtain any quantity they wish by making the machine larger and applying more power. If farmers only knew the excessive loss they sustain in getting out their grain in the mode heretofore used. Nothing more would be necessary to bring my machine into general use. Those who have small streams on their farms will find that they may set the machine going by water at a small expense by a small tub wheel. To those who are acquainted with the gentlemen whose certificates I annex, nothing need be said; those who are not, will find, on enquiry, for intelligence and respectability they have few superiors. My price for the privilege of using my machine, is fifty dollars. I will dispose of my privilege for counties or states to those who wish to purchase on liberal terms. Letters addressed to me, post paid, at Dumfries, Virginia, will be duly attended to.
James Deneale.
Dumfries, 22d Sept. 1806.
NO. 1.
I do hereby certify, that I have a Threshing Machine erected on the plan invented by Mr. James Deneale, of Dumfries, which exceeds my expectation. A great number of my neighbors who have seen it work, think it does not leave one grain in ten thousand unthreshed; it separates the straw and chaff from the wheat as it threshes.
It possesses many advantages over machines on the Scotch principle, as they will thresh none but what goes in with the ear first; so that all tangled wheat is not much more than half threshed. Mr. Deneale's machine threshes tangled wheat or sheaves put in butt first, perfectly clean.
In very dry weather Scotch machines scutch off a great number of heads, a great many of which the utmost care cannot prevent being carried off with the straw; the very ears without straw are perfectly clean threshed by Mr. Deneale's. Scotch machines, take nearly double power to work them. I speak the above from experience; as I had a machine on the Scotch principle, which from the above faults I had not used for several years, and have now pulled it down.
Mr. Deneale's machine will thresh from 70 to 100 bushels per day, four small mules and two good horses will work it with great ease and I am convinced from the slow pace they go that two oxen would work it.
Although my machine (which was the first erected in this part of the state) has been built but a few months, it is so well approved of that a great many more are either built or now building on the same construction.
It will be shown in operation to any gentlemen calling on the subscriber, at Beverley's Ford, Fauquier county, Virginia.

I have several years known Mr. Milburn who has given the within certificate—he is a sensible, judicious, practical farmer, and a man of good character. He is a native of the county of Northumberland, in the kingdom of Great Britain, and has been a successful farmer in this country. I think that great confidence is to be placed in what he says.

NO. 3.
I have had erected on my plantation a Threshing Machine upon the model invented by Mr. Deneale, of Dumfries; this machine separates the wheat from the straw more completely than it can be done by treading in the usual way with horses, and it will, I am persuaded, clean from 90 to 100 bushels per day. I find that four mules will turn the machinery with ease.

NO. 4.
Induced by motives of public good, I wish to make known, that in company with some of my neighbors, we viewed, on the estate of
William Champe Carter, Esq. Mr. Deneale's new invented Patent Threshing Machine, performed by Mr. West, a most masterly beautiful piece of mechanism. Notwithstanding the straw, was damp and the Negroes slaves that worked it, awkward, yet on a fair trial, it beat out and cleaned upwards of four bushels and a half in half an hour; we carefully examined the straw, which was so entirely cleaned of wheat that therein we did not find more than four or five grains. Therefore, on the whole, I do not hesitate to pronounce it, in my judgment, the most complete and most useful thing of the kind which human wisdom has yet invented.
John Strode.
Culpepper, 29th August, 1806.
NO. 5.
Since the date of the above, the manager of the estate of William Champe Carter, Esq. Mr. Reuben Beazeley, a man of good character and respectability, who has had the conducting of the aforesaid machine, has made the following affidavit.
John Strode.
Culpepper County, to wit:
This day personally appeared before me, Mr. Reuben Beazeley, and made oath, that the Wheat Machine, commonly called Deneale's Patent Threshing Machine, under his care and direction, on the estate of William Champe Carter, Esq. as the hands begin to understand it more, gets out wheat faster than at the beginning; and has on fair trial lately cleaned from the straw in the space of half an hour more than six bushels of wheat, and believes it would continue to do that much as long as the four mules that work it could remain at that service, until taken out to give them food and water. Certified under my hand this 11th day of September, 1806.

Iron Works—For Sale.
THE subscriber is duly empowered to contract for the sale of a handsome site for Iron Works, and eight thousand acres of Land adjoining, lying on the river Rappahannock, about nine miles above Fredericksburg.
