TO intelligent and reflecting minds, the present is a moment of the most serious apprehension and alarm. At no period, since the establishment of our government, has our political horizon assumed a more inauspicious and threatening aspect. "Clouds and darkness" rest upon our land. In this situation, it becomes the people deliberately and faithfully to survey the ground on which they stand, and to seek a refuge from the approaching tempest.
With the view of leading the people to examine, reflect, and prepare to act, we shall give a hasty sketch of the real situation of our country, and the dangers which threaten it . The view shall be concise, plain and, as far as we go, correct. The external and internal situation shall be distinctly examined.
The external situation. —It will here be necessary to look back to the commencement of the last session of congress. At that period, the government found itself involved in a series of difficulties with the three principal maritime nations of Europe. Great Britain had invaded our neutral rights, captured our vessels, and impressed our seamen. France had attacked our commerce, blockaded our southern ports, insisted on the interdiction of our trade with Hayti, and demanded tribute, on the penalty of a French and Spanish war. Spain had robbed our merchants, imprisoned and butchered our seamen, made inroads into our territory, carried captive our citizens, and bid defiance to our laws, our rights, and our government.
Thus wronged, insulted, and humbled, the people turned their eyes to the administration; they waited, with silent solicitude, for prompt and prudent measures to vindicate our honor & extricate us from our embarrassments. But what was the result? Were the measures adopted, such as ought to have been expected from a wise and discreet government? Were they such as the delicate and critical state of our affairs demanded? Were they such as, under similar circumstances, had been successfully pursued under a former administration? Were they, like those, adapted to the preservation of peace, and the restoration of harmony to our foreign intercourse? Alas! The men, who, by their injudicious, temporising, inefficient measures, had brought these evils upon the country, if they had the disposition, had not the talent to remove them. Every measure they pursued only increased our embarrassments. Every step they took only involved us in still deeper difficulties.
At the moment, when our minister at London had advised our executive of the prospect of an amicable adjustment with England—when he had intreated that no rash measures should be interposed by our government, a bill was introduced into the senate confiscating British property, offering a bounty on the murder of British seamen, and ordering an indiscriminate retaliation on any innocent British subject, for the incidental death of an American seaman: much opprobrious and irritating language was uttered and published; and the non-importation act, generally denominated the precursor of war, was proposed and adopted. What is the consequence of these rash and inconsiderate measures? Precisely such as a school boy would have predicted. They have increased the insolence and the outrage of the British commanders; have probably produced the shedding of innocent blood; and greatly retarded, if not entirely frustrated, the negotiations of our minister. They have, at least placed us in a far less favorable situation to procure a just and honorable compromise.
Instead of resisting (like the former administration) the insolent demands of France, our government yielded, without a struggle, our independence, our rights, and our interest. The insulting language of Turreau was swallowed without an effort; our valuable commerce with Hayti, guaranteed to us by the established laws of nations, was interdicted without debate; and the tribute of millions voted in secret conclave.
Although our minister had failed in his negotiation with Spain, our government, instead of resisting the aggressions of that feeble power—instead of maintaining our rights and vindicating our national honor, condescended, in the language of Mr. Randolph, " to hire France to bully Spain to sell the Floridas ." What is the result? Bonaparte has rejected, with disdain, the halcy douneur of two MILLIONS; he still refuses to permit Spain to settle our differences; all hopes of accommodation have vanished; & the threatened "French and Spanish war" has, it is believed, already commenced. Thus our relation with England is, at least, extremely uncertain; and unless we are prepared to become tributaries and vassals of Bonaparte, a war with France and Spain, we fear, cannot be avoided.
Our internal situation is equally humiliating to the feelings of every honest American.—That we may take a correct view of this part of our subject, let us return to the period when the management of our national concerns were intrusted with the men now in power. At that time, we had a full treasury, a well organized and increasing revenue, a regularly diminishing debt, a young but growing navy, and a character for integrity and energy, which commanded the civility and respect of Europe and the world.
Had these advantages been faithfully cultivated—had the resources of our country been called forth and suitably improved—had the measures of the former administration been pursued by our present rulers, we might, at this moment, have stood firm and unshaken amidst the tumults of contending nations—we might at this moment have bid defiance to the combined powers of the earth.
But, unfortunately for the present and succeeding generations, the ardent friends of the people , they who had promised a political millennium to their countrymen, have bartered the rights, and neglected and abused the dearest interests of the community. They have wasted and impoverished our treasury, dried up many of the sources of our revenue, and exhausted our fiscal strength. They have destroyed our navy, thrown our commerce upon the mercy of free booters and pirates, and left our harbors unprotected, and our cities exposed to the insults and outrage of the most contemptible frigate that floats on the ocean. They have submitted to the insults of foreign ministers, impaired our national character, and broken down the energy and the spirit of the country. Their misguided and enfeebling measures have had the inevitable tendency to court aggression—to invite hostility. Soon, therefore, must "the confused noise of the battle of the warrior" be heard within our territory. Soon must the "garments" of our countrymen be seen "rolled in blood." Soon must the din of arms rouse our slumbering people. Already the clarion of war, sounding in our western borders, proclaims the approaching footsteps of devastation and havoc.
Thus have we drawn in dark, but, it is apprehended, in true colors, the outlines of the real situation of our country . We have given the delineation, not from choice, but from a conviction of duty. When disease has seated itself in the human frame, it is essential that the cause and the symptoms be correctly ascertained to induce a prudent and efficacious prescription. Let the people then, who are to prescribe for our diseased republic, read, enquire, and ponder. Let them examine men, and scrutinize measures. Let them probe the evils to the bottom, and thus prepare to apply a salutary and sovereign remedy.
While the view we have given should awaken the apprehensions of every citizen of America, it ought not to excite, in any, a spirit of despondency. Our situation is, indeed, critical and alarming; yet it is not hopeless . Talents and power well directed, can remove our difficulties, and secure our safety. No nation can boast of more distinguished talents than our own; and our resources, if suitably employed, are sufficient to repel aggression, to vindicate our rights, to enforce justice, and command respect.
Fellow-citizens! Devote your deliberate and serious reflections to a subject so equally and highly important to all. Your property and your lives, your families, and kindred, and country, are in danger. Let, then, the prejudice and acrimony of party be laid aside; let political distinctions be relinquished and forgotten; let the proscribed wisdom of the country be again "put in requisition;" and let the exertions of all be combined for the general good. If you still close your eyes to the dangers which approach from abroad—if you still encourage & cultivate dissensions, and rancor, and hatred, at home, the freedom, which was purchased with the blood of your countrymen, will soon be wrested from your hands. Awaken from your slumbers and unite your efforts, and that freedom, with all its attendant blessings, may yet be transmitted, as a rich and invaluable legacy, to succeeding generations.
From a Liverpool paper of Sept. 3.
POLITICAL RETROSPECT.
We are still without any intelligence respecting the state of the conferences at Paris. Up to a late hour on Saturday night no messenger had arrived, nor could we learn that dispatches from the earl of Lauderdale had been transmitted through any other channel.
If Prussia, as is confidently believed, be a bar to the conclusion of peace, on the ground of refusing her assent to the restoration of Hanover, a measure, indeed in which it is not at all improbable that Bonaparte has acquiesced the prospect of the speedy termination of the treaty would be greatly strengthened. Notwithstanding the immense preparations for war carried on by his Prussian majesty, we cannot reconcile ourselves to the opinion that he will hazard his crown, by undertaking hostilities against France. The loss of one battle would be the immediate forerunner of his ruin; and the conqueror would by a second victory, erase Prussia, from the map of Europe. Neither by her internal force and resources, nor by her local situation, is she formed to sustain the vicissitudes of a long war. She is undoubtedly a great military power; but as in the times of Frederick the Great, she must have at her head a superior military genius.
If the conflict once commences Bonaparte will not suffer her to breathe, and his arts and frauds will be tried in every
direction, and by every means to spread defection among her allies, and to corrupt her dependents. His Prussian majesty may have made up his mind for the result. Deprived of Bayreuth and Anspach, required to cede East Friesland and Embden, and imperiously called upon to restore Hanover, he may feel that unless he makes a stand now, the endless encroachments and demands of Bonaparte will terminate in his complete vassalage on France, or in his extinction as a powerful monarch. We shall indeed be surprised if he displays a courage, a resolution and perseverance of which he has not hitherto afforded the slightest proof. But on the contrary should he yield to the dictates of Napoleon, we apprehend that other important points, besides the restoration of Hanover will remain to be adjusted. We should not be surprised were the discussions suspended by common consent until the arrival at Paris of the expected dispatches from Petersburg.
Letters were received on Saturday from Hamburg, which mention that hostilities had actually commenced between Prussia and France. General Rucher, a very old general in the Prussian service is said to have been killed. It is added that the French had crossed over to Embden, where the engagement is reported to have taken place.
Considerable progress is supposed to have been already made in the formation of the new northern confederation. This union is to be under the protection of Russia; and is likely to prove, in some degree at least, a counterpoise to the confederation under the protection of France. It is doubtful, however, whether Bonaparte will allow this part of his own plan to be carried into effect without deranging it by some new ambitious enterprize. He is believed to have made a demand on the court of Berlin, for some further cessions in favor of the kingdom of Holland. The greatest activity prevails in the military department in all the Prussian states; and the movements that are made, and the positions that are taken, indicate a determination of resistance, from which better hopes might have been entertained if it had been displayed at that more suspicious and more essential period when all Europe looked to Prussia for its deliverance—but looked in vain.
The French have seized on the Austrian towns of Goretz ad and Gradisca, on the Lisozzo, in Friuli, and swore the public functionaries to pay allegiance to the French government. No motive has been assigned for this seizure. Some conceive that it was designed to hasten the consent of Austria to some matters under negotiation with France. Others suppose it was intended to check some military proceedings of Austria which had excited the jealousy of Bonaparte. To remove all jealousy on this head, the archduke Charles has determined that not even the usual camps of exercise shall be formed this year. It is evident from all these circumstances, that all the continent enjoys but a very precarious peace, dependant on the will and pleasure of Bonaparte. Austria in particular is in a state of continued terror; subject every moment to have its patience tried by new insults and invasions, and not secured from alarm by the most immediate submission to every command, and the most prompt compliance with every requisition. It is stated that Bonaparte has proposed to the court of Vienna to cede the maritime part of Carniola to the kingdom of Italy, for an equivalent. The seizure of Goritz and Gradisca is probably meant to expedite this cession. It seems as if Bonaparte wished to force this humbled and reduced power, by a continuance of intolerable outrages, into a new war, for the purpose of totally extinguishing it. What effect these proceedings may have on our negotiations, we cannot say; but we have no hesitation in declaring, that unless the French government resolves unequivocally to desist from this conduct, there can be no peace with it. The present peace of the continent is worse than no peace.

Latest Foreign News.
BERLIN, Aug. 20.
It is said that our cabinet has declared to a foreign court, interested in being acquainted with our military preparations, that they are merely defensive.
Letters from Westphalia contradict the report of pretended hostile movements among the Prussian troops—Communications between the French and Prussian generals are frequent.
Mr. Knobelsdorf, who repairs to Paris as envoy extraordinary, was to have gone to Constantinople as ambassador; this change leaves room to presume that Mr. de Knobelsdorf may remain a long time in Paris. Our politicians speak already of a journey to be made by the marquis of Lucchesini; but the activity which reigns in our diplomatic relations is so ample a source of conjectures, that it is not necessary to add to it.
The sudden arrival of prince Wirgenstein, his majesty's minister to the elector of Hesse, has given rise to several conferences, whence people presume that a closer alliance is forming between our court and that of Cassel. Two other ministers of his majesty are also arrived in this city; to wit, baron Jacobi-Kloost, lately accredited to the court of London, and Mr. de Caesar, accredited to the Hague.
Baron de Haeuleire repairs to Dresden, as his majesty's minister, to confer there with the electoral minister upon the organization of the plan of constitution for the north of Germany. Measures are taking both at Dresden and at Cassel to forward this grand plan.
Major-general de Pfuhl has been sent by his majesty to Brunswick, because an indisposition prevented his serene highness from repairing hither in consequence of the invitation sent him by his majesty. His serene highness's arrival had been prematurely announced. The exchange of couriers between Berlin and St. Petersburg is more active than ever. These couriers are the bearers of letters written by the two sovereigns themselves.
The prince of Hohenlohe-Ludelsingen is going to take the command of the army of Silesia, and his royal highness prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, will command the one assembling in the environs of Magdeburgh.
The prince of Baraninsky, chamberlain to the emperor of Russia, is arrived here from Russia. Mr. d'Arsenoff, captain of the Russian service, is set off from Berlin for Dresden. Within these few days past, several French and Russian couriers have passed through here.
VIENNA, August 22.
Letters from Bucharest announce that general Sebastiani, the French ambassador to the Ottoman Porte, after crossing Hungary and Walachia, embarked at Waras in the Black sea; from whence he will repair quicker and safer to Constantinople than by land, the road of Romelia, particularly the passage of Adrianople, being almost impracticable, in consequence of the insurrection of the Janissaries.
A Russian courier is arrived in this city, who performed the journey from Petersburg to Vienna in ten days; a celebrity without example.
It is rumored that Czerni-Georges has taken Belgrade by assault.
HAMBURGH, August 27.
The unexpected reports, that the British had dispatched an expedition to Portugal, and that Russia, again influenced by the court of London, had not ratified the treaty concluded by D'Oubril, have greatly increased the alarms which we have lately suffered.
One of our prints makes the following reflections on the present posture of affairs, and although they only express the ideas of men, who are not initiated in the mysteries of cabinets, they may be considered as embracing some very judicious opinions.
The uncertainty in which we are at present cannot be of long duration—We shall soon know whether England has resolved, by her councils, and the debarkation of some thousand troops at Lisbon, to ruin the royal family of Portugal, as she has already done that of Naples. We shall soon know whether Russia contemplates such a conduct towards a great northern power (Prussia) as may involve that power in similar disasters with Austria.
Can it, then, be possible that these cabinets will again provoke a nation, which has been shewn is not to be provoked with impunity? Are they not weary of involving princes, people and states, with whom they have no common interest, in ruin?
As to Prussia (and it is with her that the Hamburgers are personally and most

terested) we are persuaded that her exertions will be to preserve peace—for she cannot flatter herself by ordinary efforts to sustain a rupture with France, and where are the extraordinary means with which she could support such a war? And were they even attainable, would it be wise to attempt it, under the circumstances in which she is placed?
If her soldiers are deserting before the war; if some of her newly acquired provinces are silently brooding discontent, what might be expected on the smallest reverse of fortune? Could she calculate on succor from Hesse and Saxony? Such support would be both slender and uncertain.
As to Denmark, her prudence is well known, and we know moreover that if there is a country in Europe, where the government and people render justice to the emperor Napoleon, that country is Denmark.
BALTIMORE, October 23.
Some further particulars concerning the loss of the ship Essex, in the Red Sea, the massacre of her crew, and of Mahomed Ikle, the pirate.
In the year 1803, a numerous body of Arabians of the sect of Wahabees, under their leader, the invincible, and as they think the divine Abdul (the Bonaparte of Arabia) twice sacked the ancient city of Mecca, destroyed the tomb of the great prophet Mahomet, and committed dreadful ravages on the unfortunate inhabitants of the country. After this he subdued Medina another city, sacred in the eyes of all good Musselmans, and conquered nearly all the country situated above Mocha, on the eastern side of the Red Sea, in reducing a new religion entirely subversive of the Mahometan faith. Some of the followers of Abdul betook themselves to a new employment, that of plundering and destroying the vessels of every nation that sailed on the Red Sea. Among the rest Mahomed Ikle principally distinguished himself, having purchased the island of Camerin of the sheriff, or prince of Lohega which is made his head quarters, and from whence he has spread more terrors than did the Buccaneers formerly amongst the Spaniards.
He sails in a strong well armed vessel, with a numerous crew made of fanatics like himself, and enemies to every nation, excepting their own, the Wahabees—Unfortunately this pirate was, with his ship, at Mocha, when the ill-fated captain Orne arrived in the Essex, of Salem, with 60,000 dollars to purchase a cargo of coffee. Coffee was not to be had at market, and capt. Orne was altogether at a loss how to proceed. An English merchant (whose name we have not learned) understanding the embarrassed situation of captain Orne, informed him that if he proceeded 60 miles farther up to a town called Hadido, he would there procure coffee lower than usually asked for at Mocha, and offered himself to go in the Essex and execute the whole business for the trifling commission of two and a half per cent. Capt. Orne listened to this advice and finally agreed to it. The pirate Mahomed by some means came to the knowledge of all these circumstances, and had the address to persuade captain Orne to receive on board about 80 of his crew to help to navigate the vessel, and pilot her to Hadido.
The Essex sailed in company with the pirates ship; night approached, but alas! not one of the unfortunate crew were fated to behold their country again, or the light of another day. At a signal given the pirates on board fell on the crew with their knives, the corsair ranged along side, and in a few minutes not an American was left to tell the sad tale of their destruction. The headless body of the captain, and mutilated carcass of the Englishman floated on shore, and being recognized, and received the rights of burial in a far distant land. The Essex was plundered and burnt.
This shocking catastrophe ought to prove a warning to all American captains, not only to guard them against the smallest deviation from their orders, but also against reposing confidence in strangers without being first well assured of their characters. It also shows the necessity of being well armed, and prepared to encounter those fiends in human shape, on entering into the channel of the Red sea—fiends who massacre and plunder all nations without distinction—but we earnestly pray, that the vengeance of our country may one day overtake the cruel perpetrator of this eventful tragedy.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29.
At a meeting of the Trustees of the Alexandria Academy, on Monday, the 27th of October, 1806—
Present, The Rev. JAMES MUIR, President.
WILLIAM FITZHUGH, WILLIAM HERBERT, JAMES KEITH, JONAH THOMPSON, ELISHA C. DICK, JOHN DUNDAS, GEORGE TAYLOR, JOSEPH RIDDLE, NICHOLAS FITZHUGH, Trustees.
William Riley complained, that Isaac Gardner, an assistant teacher in the said Academy, on the evening of Thursday last, treated John Riley, one of his pupils, with excessive cruelty, and prayed an investigation of the said conduct. Whereupon the said Trustees immediately took the subject into consideration, and being satisfied, from the result of the testimony derived from an examination of the scholars, do acquit the said Gardner of the said accusation.
N. FITZHUGH, Sec'y. pro tem.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Detroit, to his friend in New York, dated Sept. 24.
You will remember I wrote you of the fracas which occurred here in December last—viz. two British officers aided by some officers and citizens of the United States, attempted to take away a deserter from Detroit. Their trial came on this court. Captain Muir, one of the British officers, is fined ten pound sterling and 17 days imprisonment. Lieutenant Lundt is fined 2000 pound sterling and six months imprisonment; and Lieutenant Brevort, an American officer, one hundred pound New York currency and seven y five days imprisonment. There are two other indictments still depending against Lundt and Brevort, for assault and battery committed at the same time, on other persons. These decisions create great warmth in the minds of the people."
From the Boston Repository.
Captain Lincoln on his passage from Philadelphia to the Havanna, on the 27th of August, in lat. 32, 49, long. 73, 46, in the morning, spoke the French frigate Cybelle, since put into the Chesapeake in distress, and at 9 o'clock the same evening, fell in with and was boarded from the French 80 gun ship Regulus, admiral L'Hermite, who made enquiry after the Cybelle, as they were in the gale of the 12th with her, and feared she had foundered; they said their ship had received no damage in the gale and would stand for the Cybelle; but it is most probable they stood for Europe, as she has not since been heard of. Thus, all the French ships and frigates, except the president, of 44 guns, which sailed from Martinico in the summer, are accounted for.
On an attentive perusal of our papers, received by the ship Ocean and a careful comparison of the articles which are therein published, more especially under the Hamburg and Berlin heads, we are inclined to think that Prussia has fully entered into the views of Great Britain and Russia, against France. The extreme solicitude manifested in the Paris journals to do away the belief that Prussia is preparing for war, notwithstanding the movements & activity which prevail through all the departments of her military establishment, serves to confirm us in this belief.
The fortress of Hameln, in Hanover, now in the possession of Prussia, and which can only dread an attack by the French, has been provisioned and garrisoned for a long siege. The army is ordered to be placed on the war establishment, and couriers are daily passing between the courts of Berlin, Petersburg and Vienna—combined with these demonstrations are the reconciliation of Prussia with Sweden, and the federation of the Rhine, organized by France, and changing the whole face of continental Europe.
It will be seen, by the exposure of the Russian minister D'Oubril's powers in the Moniteur, re-published in this day's paper, that the rupture between France and Russia is not of a nature to be healed by negotiation—and, that an appeal to arms, and the events of a war, which is likely to involve every power on the continent of Europe, must decide the controversy. From this concurrence of circumstances, there is scarcely a doubt that the war will be renewed, and prosecuted with the utmost efforts of the contending powers.
[Phila. Register.]
A rich vein of Lead Ore has been discovered on the land of Major Philip Gaines, in Grayson county, within two computed miles of Chessell lead mines.—The ore was found within six inches of the surface of the earth; the situation is fine for mining, and the prospect very flattering. Said Gaines is now raising excellent ore, and will no doubt, soon make lead in abundance.

HINTS TO HEADS OF FAMILIES. By Simon Shortsheech.
 1. Don't scold. If you do, your children may dread, but they will not respect you.  2. Don't find fault with every trifle. Admonition and correction, to be effectual, must not be too freely used.  3. When you command or threaten, do not waver. If your children find they can beat you, they will grow fond of triumph. Pretty sad times when children govern their parents!  4. Never treat your children with false promises. It is teaching them bad tricks.  5. Be prompt and steady in your government. "Good government is much easier in practice than bad."  6. Do you wish your children to appear well in the world? Be not niggardly in affording the means of information.  7. Do you wish them happy? Be careful you do not teach them vice by your example.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
ON the night of Tuesday the 14th instant, a negro man, named BEN, the property of the subscriber, broke the jail of Prince George's county, where he had been put for security, and made his escape; in his elopement he was accompanied by a white man of the name of EARL, who had been committed for robbery. Earl said he was a sea-faring man, a native of Philadelphia, that his father had been sailing master of the United States ship Congress, whilst under the command of Captain Decatur, and is now commodore of the gun boats stationed off New-Orleans. He is about 5 feet 10 inches high, slender made, about 24 or 25 years old, and has light brown or sandy colored hair. I think it is probable he may carry Ben with him and pass him as his slave until he has an opportunity of selling him. Whilst in jail Earl's clothing was a blue India cotton seaman's jacket, and trousers of the same. Ben is a shoemaker and gardener by trade, he is also a tanner, and can be a very expert house servant—he is about 38 years of age, and from 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches high, stout and square built, has very woolly hair, red eyes, flat nose, and a black complexion—he is a fellow of considerable address and great plausibility, disposed to be rather pert and impudent, especially when intoxicated, but is easily reduced to submission.
I will give a reward of Thirty Dollars to any person who will secure him in any jail so that I may get him again, or to any person who will apprehend him and bring him to me I will give a reward as follows: if taken 100 miles or upwards from home I will give 50 dollars, if taken from 40 to 100 miles from home I will give 40 dollars, or if taken within 40 miles of this place I will give 30 dollars, besides defraying reasonable expenses in bringing him home.
All masters of vessels and others are hereby forewarned from harboring, employing or carrying off said Negroes, as I will prosecute whoever shall do so with the utmost rigor of law.

Runaway Negro. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAW . He is about 36 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches or 6 feet high, of a tawny complexion, has a scar on one of his jaws or side of his face forming a half circle; I think it is on the right, but am not positive. He is a slim made fellow, with a bushy head, and when spoken to has a scary and down look. When he went away he had a green round coat, buff colored breeches, with homespun clothing, and has never been accustomed to any work but in the crop or field. I have understood he has crossed the Potomac about Britain's Bay, over into Maryland. I expect he has procured a pass and will endeavor to appear as a freeman. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harboring or carrying him away under the penalty of the law. I will give Twenty Dollars reward if taken in Maryland, or Fifteen if taken in the Northern Neck, so that I get him again. George Christopher. Westmoreland County, Vir. } 20 dff 14th September.
