The following article upon the subject of an invasion of England by France, is copied from the Westminster Journal of July 21, 1759. It may afford some amusement to compare what was thought and said about an invasion at that period with what has been thought and said upon the same subject for the last three years. — [U. S. Gazette.]
SERIOUS CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING AN INVASION.
From the Westminster Journal of July 21.
THAT the French will attempt an invasion, I have no manner of doubt; I have too good an opinion of the abilities of their ministry to doubt it. The ruin of their trade, the loss of their most valuable possessions, which furnish the springs of their commerce, the loss of reputation in the eyes of all Europe, by the repeated losses and insults they have suffered on their own coasts, with a thousand other considerations, must make them sensible that they have now no chance of recovering that importance which they have always held in Europe, but by hazarding a bold stroke; and none so likely to succeed, as to carry the sword into the bowels of their capital enemy.
Appearances, it is true, are against them, but fortune may be for them. The operations, by sea, cannot be so mechanically, or so deliberately conducted, as those by land; an unlucky atom of powder, may blow up the finest ship, and disable the finest fleet that ever sailed. The winds and tides may lock up one squadron, and fill the sails of another. A tempest may destroy or dissipate a fleet upon one coast, and forward it upon another. Nay, it has been often seen, that when two fleets of unequal force have been engaged, they have come off with equal loss, which is in fact a victory to the weakest; while the strongest had it not in his power to make an advantage by its superiority.
All these are considerations in favor of any desperate effort, which the French in the teeth of probability, may make with their fleet. Sir John Norris, one of the best and most experienced seamen that ever England bred; sir Charles Wager, who was as honest a man, and as able a seaman as any in his time; nay, admiral Vernon himself, were often heard to own, that our fleet, though a probable, was but a precarious defence to our coast. Supposing, therefore, for argument sake, the two French squadrons, by joining, to be equal to our fleet now under sir Edward Hawke; supposing them to be superior, which, I will venture to say, is no unreasonable supposition; is it not worth their while to hazard an engagement? Undoubtedly it is: For it is a maxim with all good generals and admirals, always to hazard an engagement, when the advantages they can get by a victory, greatly over balance the loss they can suffer by a defeat. Supposing the French to be beat in this engagement, they lose 8 or 10 ships, and there is an end to the affair; and even then, their fleet is as useful to them, as it can be while it is locked up in their harbors. But supposing (which Heaven avert) by any of the accidents I have already mentioned, or by the dint of superiority, the French fleet should beat ours, what must then be the consequence? Undoubtedly then they would be able to employ their flat-bottomed boats with safety and effect. But supposing, what by no means is improbable or impossible, that they should be able, by the assistance of winds and tides, to draw our fleet off their coast, the consequence must be the same, if not worse; for then a very weak escort will be able to take charge of their boats, in the short run they have between their own and the British coasts.
My reader, undoubtedly, by this time, has a right to ask what I mean by all this discouraging preachment. My meaning is not to discourage, but to awaken every Briton, who (as too many are) is lulled to security by the strength and station of our fleet. My meaning is to convince him, that it is only a probable security, and that events at sea are at best precarious. My meaning is to tell the public that unanimity by land, as well as by sea, is the only security that this island has, or can have, against its enemies. We are not to regard what French or Frenchified papers say upon this head; we are either to read them backwards, like a witch's prayer, or we are to construe them as common sense and experience dictate. It is now well known that only the last real invasion which France designed against this country had very near taken effect before we knew it was designed, and that it was over before we heard of our danger. This was in the beginning of the year 1744, when
12,000 French troops, under marshal Saxe himself, and assisted by the pretender in person, were prepared to be thrown over into England. The French, at that time, pretended, in their public papers, that Rocqueville, their admiral, was to take a number of flat-bottomed boats under his protection: But the real scheme was otherwise. He put to sea with one part of their fleet, and Providence, at that period, seemed most wonderfully to exert itself, in teaching mankind of how little avail human dispositions are, that depend upon the elements of nature. Sir John Norris, by one of the speediest and most vigorous equipments ever known, got up with Rocqueville, who was inferior to him in strength, about dark. That night the elements declared for the French, and while the English thought they had them impounded, next morning they were irrecoverably gone, and thereby, in all probability, they saved every ship they had.
While this was transacting on the coast of England, count Saxe, and the young pretender, were actually embarking, and had put to sea, upon the coast of France. Four or five thousand troops were embarked in transports, and the embarkation of the rest was going on with all the spirit and success imaginable, when the very winds that saved them in one place dashed them to pieces in another, and rendered the scheme abortive. I shall just ask my reader what he thinks the event must have been if, at that time, when the nation was divided, disarmed, and unfurnished with troops, that invasion had taken place, and how many hundred chances there were to one, that it did.
I shall conclude with this exhortation to my countrymen. Let us on this occasion be unanimous; let us act as if our situation was not an island, but on the continent; let us reflect, that we have neither walls nor fortifications to trust to, and that our own hearts and bodies must serve us instead of both; and let us take the advice of old Buchanan:
Nec foese et muris, Patriam, sed marte tueri. THOMAS TOUCHIT.
FROM A LONDON PAPER.
As every subject respecting the improvement of the state of our merchant seamen, should be regarded by our political governors; if you deem the following observations, on the necessity of determining the seaworthiness of every merchant vessel, before she is permitted to proceed to sea, worthy a place in your publication; the attention of many thousands amongst whom your work is circulated may be drawn to a subject of the highest national importance. As the progress of all improvement is often guided and determined by the variety of human intellect; it will necessarily follow, that many prejudices in the minds of men must be overcome, ere the general adoption of any plan, however self-evidently useful, can be effected; of these prejudices there are none more powerful than those which are swayed by interest. Since the shipping interest have in a great degree, changed hands from the merchant owners, and now are divided through a variety of shares amongst men, whose occupations are connected with means of the equipment of ships; each having his own individual profit out of the articles he deals in; and to share the produce of the seaman's life of toil and danger: their safety and comforts are liable to be neglected in a manner highly prejudicial to the general interests of the country. To evince this, I shall relate an instance which came to my knowledge, in my attendance in one of our courts of justice; which I have been in the habit of frequenting in order to learn our system of maritime jurisprudence, as exhibited in our civil courts; and it has greatly excited my surprise that causes in sea affairs should be determined by juries of landsmen, when the court of admiralty, where the brethren of the Trinity house may be summoned, is a more competent court in the opinion of many well versed in the jurisprudence of the country.
A cause was trying before lord Ellenborough in Guildhall in 1805, which related to the sea-worthiness of a ship called the Flora, and which meeting with a gale of wind, in her passage from Honduras with a cargo of Mahogany, was obliged to put into Charleston; where she was found so rotten and defective, as to sell for only 150 dollars, and was sunk in a marsh for a dock. In the course of the trial it was proved that her timbers were all so bad, that in the opinion of the ship-builders who were examined, it was surprising how she lived at sea; and that this could not have arisen from any violence of the storm, but from having been sent to sea in a condition not sea worthy: and thus the insurance, I believe, was lost: had the gale increased, the ship in all probability would
have foundered, and the crew never more been heard of. Who would have avenged the sacrifice of so many valuable lives, at the shrine of avaricious commercial speculations? I was sorry to observe in the course of the trial, that when both the plaintiff's and defendant's counsel admitted that the master of the ship was in court; that although "they" refused to examine him, the judge or foreman of the jury had not insisted on his being called on in evidence, as I had reason to imagine many important facts would have been elucidated. Are seamen's lives like the public money, of so little value? The suggestion immediately occurred to my mind of the necessity there is of having an establishment at every principal seaport in the empire, of naval officers; to judge and determine on the sea worthiness, stores, sails, rigging, and provisions of every ship and vessel leaving port; so that no ship's company might again suffer, as many have done, unheard of misery from such success.
How many ships have foundered at sea, & crews of hardy seamen been buried in the deep from similar causes! The East-India Company deem it necessary to have surveyors to judge of the state of their ships ere they are sent to sea; for are they suffered to perform more than a certain number of voyages; surely every department of merchant shipping ought to be under similar regulations. — If the list of ships wrecked and totally lost, with their crews during the last ten years were examined, and enquiry made into the causes, I apprehend very many instances would be adduced avarice and depravity; which would show how great the necessity is, of curbing them by the establishment I now recommend to the attention of the legislature. I shall recite another circumstance to enforce this argument. In a convoy which left the West Indies some time past, was a ship which for the sake of the owner's feelings I forbear to name, which had buried her captain and lost several of her crew by the fatal yellow fever; she was so badly found in provisions, that in the course of her passage home, the crew were reduced to very great distress; some of the humane and worthy commanders in the trade, who knew her wants kindly proffered the chief mate who had become commander a supply of provisions. He refused the kind offer probably under the idea of ingratiating himself with his owners, and securing the command next voyage by saying "such an unnecessary expense." These are solitary instances of depravity, which for the honor of my country, I wish it was not in my power to produce more of."
LATEST FOREIGN NEWS,
FROM PARIS PAPERS, TO THE 7TH OF SEPTEMBER, RECEIVED AT THE OFFICE OF THE PHILADELPHIA REGISTER, BY THE SHIP OCEAN, CAPTAIN GIRDON, IN 34 DAYS FROM BORDEAUX.
HAMBURGH, August 14.
Letters from Riga mention that since the rumors there of peace having been signed between France and Russia several considerable mercantile houses had made immense purchases of timber for ship building, hemp, tar, &c. in order to ship them at the first advice for their correspondents in France.
The exportation of rye has been forbidden, even by land, throughout the Russian empire, except at the ports of Riga and Libau, where it continues to be permitted.
Commodore Krusenstern, is now busily employed in drawing up the memoirs of his late voyage round the world. A commission of the academy of sciences at Petersburg will assist him to verify his astronomical observations. All the drawings which the illustrious navigator has brought back will be delivered to the ablest engravers.
ANTWERP August 19.
Never were the works of our arsenal in greater activity than at this moment. The number of ships of the line which are on the stocks is eight, to wit; le Charlemagne, l'Anversois, le Duguesclin, le Commerce de Lyon, le Thesee, le Cesar, l'Audacieux and l'Illustre. Besides these, a new ship of the line, le Dalmate, has been laid on the stocks in the room of the frigate le Caroline, launched on the emperor's birth day, so that no time has been lost. Some more men of war are ordered, which will make Antwerp a port as important upon the score of trade as upon that of the navy.
A hundred Neapolitan prisoners of war are shortly expected here, to work at the terraces and in deepening the basons.
All Europe knows that there is a powerful party in England who have sworn an implacable and interminable war against France. This faction, which reigned for a long time in parliament and in the king's council, at length fell from the throne by dint of blunders, malversations and political disasters. But in forfeiting the confidence of the nation, it had not renounced the hope of one day seizing again the helm of the state, and of pursuing its projects. The war, which still lasted, afforded it a thousand chances that might become favorable to it.
Thus we have seen this war faction constantly busy either in augmenting the embarrassment of affairs by endeavoring to bring the new ministers into disrepute, or by envenoming the strife between France and England, for the purpose of rendering all approximation impossible. Even the overtures, solemnly announced to parliament, put no restraint upon the invectives of this faction, and Europe saw, for the first time perhaps, the spectacle of a nation which negotiated peace, openly preaching war in its journals, and daily insulting by new outrages the government whose pacific sentiments it was come to solicit!
No doubt it would be unjust to impute such a conduct to the whole English nation, which deplores the indecency of it and is itself sensible of the dangers which may result from it. We know that the greater and more sensible part of that enlightened nation wish, as we do, for peace, and are tired of seeing their political existence so long held in suspense by the hatred of a few ambitious men, who persist in dividing two nations made to esteem each other. We also know that the writers, who make themselves the organs and the apostles of this unbricked faction, are neither the best writers of England, nor the most esteemed for their attachment to their country. But their articles and their political maxims are rendered public; they are repeated in several London papers and have not been contradicted; and if the turn of their wit sufficiently guards against the malignity of their satire, their writings are, however, attended with this danger, among a people already too obstinate in their pride, that they encourage pretensions which may become a real obstacle to the conclusion of that peace which the nation sighs after.
The Morning Post advances, "that it is pretty well understood that the French government are disposed to give England no better terms than she had under the treaty of Amiens, and that it is not to be supposed her ministers could possibly consent to measure back the steps of the nation for the purpose of replacing it on the ground of that weak and dissatisfactory treaty;" from whence the English journalist concludes, that peace will not be made.
Now the imprudence of such language is obvious; for were the treaty of Amiens as unfavorable as they may wish to make it be believed, had they even the intention & the hope to return no more to it, it would be both impolitic and awkward to treat with so much contempt, a treaty subscribed by England at a period and in circumstances which were surely much more favorable to her, than those she is in at this day. This is publicly avowing the cause of the present war, which it was so much their interest to conceal, and formally belying the reasons which the king alledged in the face of all Europe when his majesty sent to his parliament to announce the rupture of it.
To be able to pronounce upon the grounds of the question started by the Morning Post, it would be requisite to know how far its allegations are founded, whether it be true that the treaty of Amiens has been taken for the basis of the negotiations opened with England. We are not in a country where affairs of state are treated of on the stock exchange or in the public squares; neither do the secrets of negotiations in France run through the offices of journalists. But in judging this important question by the sole light of judgment and reason, and weighing the advantages to which each of the two nations has a right to pretend in the treaty now discussing we think the pretensions raised by the English journalist rather absurd. We know not indeed whether it be making England measure back her steps to bring her back to the treaty of Amiens: but what we do know, is, that in the state of crisis to which events have brought the power of England, if it were necessary that one of the two nations should measure back its steps, it would not belong to France to do it. What then does France retain all her advantages? What progress has England made in the bloody contest opened by the rupture of the treaty of Amiens: and since when, are

the pretensions of the contracting parties no longer measured by the results of the war? For these twenty years that England has been exciting enemies against France, has the latter not always conquered them? Has the war, which indeed has twenty times changed its name, not always had one and the same object: the lowering of the power of France: and has England ever been able to attain it? At the time of the treaty of Amiens, England still had powerful allies in Europe; but a single one willing to espouse her quarrel she would not find at this day. In violating the treaty of Amiens, she had for object to bring about the treaty of Concert, which was to be bound on all sides and diminish the power of France; and the five famous articles of that agreement turned against its authors and left no other bounds to the power of France, but her own moderation and her magnanimity. When things are come to such a pitch, one should guard against exaggerated pretensions; were it only thro' self love: and one should reflect that a nation does not measure back its steps when it accepts honorable conditions from the most powerful conqueror and the greatest monarch whom the world has yet known.
NEW YORK, October 26. By the ship Caledonia, Henderson, from Liverpool, we have received the London Star of the 4th of September. This paper says, "Mr. Basilico, the messenger, has arrived with dispatches from lord Lauderdale, at Paris. He reached town at one this morning, called at Downing street, and took another messenger with him to sir Francis Vincent, who forwarded the dispatches to Mr. Fox at Chiswick, by the second messenger. A cabinet council is now sitting on the dispatches—nothing is yet known of their contents, the prevailing opinion however is unfavorable to peace. All is at a stand at the stock exchange. Jerome Bonaparte had arrived at Paris previous to the departure of Mr. Basilico the messenger. He was chased before he reached port, by the Gibraltar of 80 guns, which vessel would have overhauled Jerome had she not been disabled in the chase."
The Expeditions. —Under the Plymouth head of the 2d ultimo it is said—"All is bustle and confusion in the Stonehouse Pool among the transports—the troops are disembarking, and are marched away immediately to Buckland Downs, where they are to be encamped. The weather is extremely favorable for the purpose. A steady sergeant, corporal and 12 privates, are to be left on board each transport."
Last evening after our paper was prepared for press, our box came up from the ship Fanny Taylor, with Greenock papers to the 11th ult. and London of the 6th—such extracts from them as our time would admit of making, are here given. Owing to the lateness of the hour we received these papers, we are unable to give the official letter of general Stuart, who commanded the British force in Calabria, announcing a brilliant victory obtained by him over the French, on the plains of Maida, a village to the south of St. Rasperia and Nicastro. One of the papers says,
General Regnier was advancing, with his characteristic confidence, to assail the British, when he was attacked by general Stuart. All the circumstances considered, we have no hesitation in saying, that it was a success as brilliant as ever crowned the British arms. Our force consisted of 4795 men; that of the French amounted to upwards of 7000. This difference was forgotten by our troops, when armies were in presence. The enemy for some time made a shew of daring, but the British bayonet was decisive of the result. The loss of the French was almost equal with the whole of the British force.
We shall cite the words of the gallant commander—"By 9 o'clock in the morning, the opposing fronts of two armies were warmly engaged, when the prowess of the rival nations seemed now to be fairly at a trial before the world, and the superiority was greatly and gloriously decided to be our own."
"About 700 bodies of their dead have been buried upon the ground. The wounded and prisoners already in our hands (among which are general Compere, and an aid-de-camp, and a long list of officers) amount to above 1000 men."
"The total loss to the enemy cannot be less than 4000 men."
The loss of the British was one officer, 3 serjeants, 4 rank and file killed; 11 officers, 8 serjeants, 2 drummers, 261 rank and file wounded.
Sir John Stuart has in his possession no less than 3000 prisoners, and it to this be
added the number of their killed & wounded it will appear that the small remainder of the French force of 7000 men, scattered as it is, cannot effect any mischief, except to the unarmed peasantry.
The French papers say that Massena and Regnier have formed a junction. A private letter from Messina of the 5th ult. says that general Stuart was on the eve of re-embarking his troops, and this account derives some confirmation from the passage in sir John Stuart's letter, where he says—"I am now beginning my march southward, preparatory to my return to Sicily for which station I shall re-embark with army, as soon as his Sicilian majesty shall have arranged a disposition of his own force to secure those advantages which have been gained by the present expedition."
LONDON, September 5. On the arrival of M. D'Oubril at St. Petersburg, a grand council was held. The emperor attended in person, and upon its breaking up it was officially notified to all the foreign ministers, that the treaty would not be ratified, and M. Kroushouske, a knight of Malta, was sent to Paris to announce his imperial majesty's determination. He arrived there on the 30th ult. and on the 1st inst. Basilico was despatched by lord Lauderdale. What effect it will have upon the negotiation pending between this country and France we cannot pretend to determine; but we think it highly probable that it will make Bonaparte more anxious to conclude a peace with Great Britain.
The cabinet council which was yesterday summoned to take into consideration the dispatches from Paris, from St. Petersburg and from the Mediterranean, sat from two till half past three o'clock. After the council a messenger was despatched to Paris.
We understand that the expeditions are yet intended to proceed.
September 6. Lord Lauderdale will probably first learn the rejection of the treaty into which D'Oubril was cajoled from the dispatches sent him on Thursday. It is a fact, that two days after the arrival of the Russian messenger, lord Lauderdale was ignorant of this important determination. This very evening he will know it, and his next interview with Talleyrand will be highly interesting—perhaps decisive of the fate of the negotiations.
Letters from Berlin state, that the king of Prussia has required that Germany should be evacuated by the French.
Yesterday a servant of his excellency Robert Adair arrived with dispatches to government from Vienna. They relate, we understand, to the refusal of the emperor of Russia to ratify the treaty with France, which was known at Vienna on the 20th ultimo. We have good grounds for believing, that a system of close and cordial concert between the courts of Petersburg, Berlin and Vienna, is much nearer maturity than it is suspected to be. The emperor Alexander has written personally to the Austrian and Prussian monarchs, and is, we believe, well disposed to protect them against any further insults or encroachments on the part of France.
Mr. Fox is still at Chiswick, and remains much the same in health.

RAN AWAY, from the subscriber, on Sunday night last, a negro man, named STEPHEN, who calls himself Stephen Tartan ; about 35 years of age, and about 5 feet 6 inches high, strong made, broad face, high cheeks and coarse bony features—he was formerly used to work in a vessel as a cook, which he understands tolerable well, also washing and house work, which he has been accustomed to occasionally. Took with him a half worn brown broad cloth coat, a dark striped mole-skin jacket, a pair corduroy pantaloons nearly white, and a pair nankeen ditto, some white linen shirts, and an oznaburg shirt and pair of trousers, also a black fur hat, and is supposed to have other cloaths not particularly known.

VILLAINY!
ON the 18th (be it well remembered) of June last, Ben Dulany's house, in Charles county, was burnt down after my box of money, title papers and books were stolen out of the house, the thief or thieves knowing that I was in Marlborough and could not be back, they took advantage of my absence to perpetrate their horrid and infamous robbery. I will give ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD to any honest man, that will give me information of this diabolical act, that I may bring to condign punishment the villain or villains concerned in this plot.

Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GREVILLE. He is about 35 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.

THE FOLLOWING New and Valuable Medicine, Is just received for SALE , by the Subscriber, at his Store in King-street. PRICE— TWO DOLLARS PER BOTTLE.
Dr. TISSOT'S
Celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops. NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation most expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the Directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harvester-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
