LONDON FASHIONS,
FOR MARCH, 1807.
A new species of Pelice has been introduced. It is styled the Hibernian Vest and is formed of velvet, the color of pigeon's breast—it is formed as a flowing robe in front, so as occasionally to wrap round the figure; the back is cut round in form of a high gown, without cape or collar, and is trimmed entirely round with a full waving skin of grey squirrel. The vest is formed by a width of velvet fastened down on the inside of the waist, brought across the bosom, and gathered into a brooch on the left shoulder; it is hemmed on the edge next the throat with the same skin. The back is formed very broad, and is drawn loosely at the bottom with a band, which is brought through the lining and confined in the centre of the waist with large topaz clasps, leaving the sides flowing open. The Hibernian Hat worn with this pelice, is of the Spanish form, perfectly flat in the rim, and trimmed round the edge, on the inside, with a skin the same as the pelice; it is turned up directly in front, and over the edge waves two short brush feathers of the same color. The chastity and elegance of this habiliment stands almost unrivalled.
The Cottage Cloak , of scarlet kerseymere, is another very attractive covering; it is made with a hood, or cape, and ties immediately on one side of the throat, leaving the shoulder occasionally exposed. The front end of the cloak is pointed, the other rounded; and the whole is terminated with a Turkish ribband, or fur, happily contrasted as to color. With this cloak is worn a jockey cap, or cottage bonnet, composed of the same material. Some females of fashionable celebrity, have sported lately, silk stockings the color of the pelice, with open wove ankles. The mild and spring like season, has partially introduced the spencer; we have witnessed several in carriages, and in the Park, of dove velvet, and twill sarsnet, formed with a deep lappel which is lined with pink and trimmed at the edge with skin.
We have lately been favored with the sight of a most elegant round robe, formed of a delicate white Italian crape, embroidered all over in white silver stars. This dress was made with a train, and worn over a white satin slip; the bosom sharply rounded at the corners, with a fall of Mechlin lace round, and a drawn tucker above it; the sleeve a plain wrap brimmed at the edge with a silver a la corkscrew . From the left shoulder flowed the Peruvian scarf, of a deep salmon color, with Indian border. The round apron of lace or patent net, in white, or morone, with light border in silver, gold or colored foil, is considered as very elegant; it is generally worn with a round dress of white satin, or sarsnet, and is confined tight round the figure, the fulness being thrown quite behind, where it is tied with bows of white satin ribband, or tassels to correspond with the border; it usually reaches within a quarter of a yard the bottom of the dress, and is invariably trimmed with lace at the bottom, put on easily full.
The sleeves of this dress are of the same materials as the apron. Some of our elegant ladies shade the bosom by a simple drawn tucker of lace. The front of dresses are rather lowered of late, in compliment, we presume, to the back and shoulders, which still continue their public exhibition, braving both moral and physical declamation. The short sleeve, worn in full pucker on the shoulder, confined at the bottom with a broad armlet corresponding with the other ornaments, is considered as elegant in full dress; while some, on the contrary, wear the short sleeve nearly plain, trimmed at the edge similar with the dress, and crossed to a point in the centre of the arm. The simple frock sleeve, with a cuff of lace, is much esteemed, with dresses of colored Italian crape.
We think the waist a little increased in length of late; and the square and round bosom, plated or gored with lace, have an equal portion of celebrity.
The decorations for the head were never more tasteful and elegant than at this season. The tiaras of gold, silver, steel or bugles are most graceful and becoming ornaments. The small half handkerchief, in black, white or morone, embroidered in cotton, gold or silver is now so much in vogue, that scarce a fashionable woman appears in public without them. They are often placed at the back of a diadem falling in irregular points at the back of the neck; others wear them with the point in front, a la Mary Queen of Scots. Some intermix them with the knot of hair behind, or on the crown of the head, and bring the ends under the chin, when worn in this last mentioned style there is generally an or-
nament in front of the hair. These chiefly consist of flowers or fruit in silver or gold; we have seen a small cluster of the hop flower in silver, or bunches of currants have a most striking and animated appearance. But of all these ornaments that which has most excited our admiration was a bunch of snow drops, frosted with silver, placed very low on the forehead nearly over the left eye. Although the Bouquet makes but a very partial display, yet at the opera we observed some few sprigs of lilies of the Valley, American heath and Labrador rose. Brooches are now formed in imitation of small natural flowers. Some of the damask rose with gold leaves; others of hearts ease, sweet-pea, &c. &c.
The Egyptian amulet in crosses or brooches are also considered as a useful and interesting ornament; and broad gold hoop-ring, with Egyptian or old English characters engraved as a motto, are a trinket of ornament entirely new in the fashionable world. Shoes and gloves continue much as our last communication, except that white kid are now painted at the toes and on the quarters to represent a sort of colored marble. The prevailing colors, are, dove, pink, palmorene, shaded purples and jouquille. Fawn colors though still much worn by the multitude is not considered as genteel.
SALEM, April 23.
On Sunday last 4 lads, walking in the north Fields, found deposited in the trunk of an old tree 21 gold and other watches, and a quantity of gold jewelry, which proved to be the remainder of the goods stolen from the shop of Jabez Baldwin, on the night of the 24th of October, 1805, part of them having been found in the hospital in Great Pasture in the winter following; those now found have doubtless lain in the hollow of the tree for nearly 19 months.
The concurrence of circumstances which have attended the loss and the recovery of this property, is truly remarkable. The amount was between two and 3000 dollars and in articles of such little bulk as to be easily conveyed away and concealed. From two mere accidents, the whole, it is believed, has been recovered, at two distant periods of time, and in two different places, without the exception of enough to reward the villains who stole them with a single dollar; and to this day it remains a mystery who the villains were and a matter of uncertainty whether they continue in the bosom of the town, or have fled through fear of detection.
NEW YORK, April 28.
The ship Packer , Trutt, arrived at Boston from Liverpool, brings London papers to the 23d March, one day later than had been received at this port. They announce only that the duke of Portland has accepted the situation of first lord of the British treasury, and that lord Melville was to be the principal actor behind the curtain.
A Dutch paper of March 18th, received by the ship Dromo from an Antwerp vessel spoken at sea on her passage to Philadelphia, mentions the death of general Rogin of the Russian Imperial guards killed at Eylau: of general Budberg; and of prince Italinskoi, son of the well known Suwarrows. General de Tolney, and two other generals, wounded. The French found 1100 Russian dead bodies at Ostrolenka, and 2400 wounded in the villages. The following articles are copied from the Dutch paper above mentioned:
Berlin, March 7, 1807.
The French grand army is in winter quarters behind the Passarge (a small river which empties into the Vistula a few miles S. of Thorn). Its left wing leans on Marienwerder and Elbing .
A Russian division, 10,000 strong, having advanced against Brawnsberg , at the summit of our winter cantonments, gen. Dupont was ordered to attack it; which he did on the 26th Feb. and dislodged it to re-cross the Passarge , with the loss of 16 pieces of cannon, two stands of colors, and 2000 prisoners. Our loss in killed is not worth mentioning.
Another hostile column having arrived at Peterwalde , on the 25th, gen. Belair attacked it and took 400 prisoners, among whom was gen. Von Koiff, his staff, and other officers. The enemy's party, at first consisting of 10 battalions, was reduced to about 1500.
General Dombrowski, in marching against Dantzig , met the Prussian garrison thereof near Dirfchau , threw it into disorder, took 600 prisoners and 6 pieces of cannon, and pursued it several hours. Marshal Lefebvre has joined with his corps,
which with the Saxons, is destined to blockade Dantzig .
Marshal Augereau, who is wounded, has obtained leave to go to Paris; and marshal Massena commands at Warsaw; vice Lannes, who is ill.
Since writing the above, a commercial friend has favored the editor of the Mercurial Advertiser , with the Liverpool Chronicle of 25th March, containing the subsequent articles under date of
LONDON, March 26.
"It seems at length settled that we are to have a new administration; the duke of Portland has made a new ministerial arrangement."
"The dispatches which government received from Ireland on Saturday last, stated to be of a very unfavorable nature, the counties in the north are in a state of awful discontent. Never, indeed, did a country require a more delicate management. And we must add, the duke of Bedford, who is about to be recalled, stated to be as generally beloved as his eager attention to public affairs, and his exertions in the cause of Ireland, so we merit."
"Dispatches from admiral Stirling, who commands in the river Plate, we understand were received at the admiralty this morning. They are said to announce the arrival of the troops under sir Samuel Auchmarty."
"Some scattered Dutch journals have reached town since our last, but their contents are not important. They state that the towns of Elbing , Marienberg and Marienwerder have been again occupied by the French, who are also in possession of the whole of the coast along the gulf of Frischhoff ; but no considerable body of troops had arrived in the suburbs of Dantzig for the purpose of commencing the siege of that city. The reduction of Graudentz was, it was understood, to be effected before regular approaches was made against Dantzig . A large detachment of the Bavarian army, and a corps of 6000 Saxons were on the point of marching to join the grand army in Poland. A great number of troops in Italy were on their march thro' the Tyrol, for the purpose of effecting a junction with the grand army."
"Price of stocks this day—consols 62 3/4, omnium 3 3/4 to 1."
PHILADELPHIA, April 29.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
Last evening arrived the ship Federick Augustus , captain Potter , 29 days from Amsterdam, who informs that it was current at the time of his sailing that on or about the 1st of March the Russians had gained considerable advantage over the French, who with the emperor at their head charged the Russians seven times, and were as often repulsed, that the French had retreated 100 Dutch miles and left the Russians in possession of the winter quarters, lately occupied by the French. Capt. P. left at Amsterdam, the brig Isabella , Crane , of this port, the Juno of Norfolk , and the ship Clyde , Alcorn , of New York , all discharging; the Eleanora , Taylor , to sail the day after him for Baltimore , and the ship Hardware , Laur , of New York ballasting for Hull . The Hamlet , Harding of this port, for St. Ubes , sailed some time before captain Potter .
Captain Potter politely furnished us with a paper of the 21st of March, from which we have only time and room for the following.
Warsaw, Feb. 23.
According to the latest accounts the Russian army still continued behind the Pregel , where it had received a considerable reinforcement, and where they were throwing up intrenchments. From the 12th to the 18th the French army was observed to be in motion, which gave indications of another general battle; but we have since learnt that it was only meant to reconnoitre the position of the enemy. The Russian General Bennigsen, thinking that the French had weakened themselves on the Narew , to strengthen their grand army in East Prussia, gave orders to general Essen to make an attempt in that quarter, which, as it is known fell out to the disadvantage of the Russians near Ostrolenka .
The emperor Napoleon has ordered that the sieges of Dantzig , Colberg and Graudentz be carried on with all possible activity, to curb the numerous excursions which are made in the rear of the army. We hear that the operations against Dantzig and Graudentz have successfully commenced.

New engagements on the Narow took place on the 25th if we may credit the intelligence of a courier who arrived here to-day.
The Baron St. Vincent is returned hither from Cracow, and has had constant interviews with the Prince of Benevento ever since the 14th inst. besides couriers are daily dispatched to and received from Vienna.
From the Frontiers of Pomerania March 6.
To day we heard a violent cannonade from the environs of Stralsund. It is said that the Swedes have made a powerful sortie from the citadel. A part of marshal Mortier's corps is at present at Grimme; and two regiments of it have already passed through Griefswald on their rout to Friesland, &c.
Berlin, March 10.
Letters have been received from the head quarters at Osterode, dated the 4th inst. but which contain nothing new.
It is said the citadel of Stillberg in Silesia, has offered to capitulate.
Schiedam, March 20.
The British minister residing at Vienna, received intelligence on the 1st instant that the Porte had declared war against England — Admiral Lewis having threatened to destroy Constantinople. In case the Porte did not consent to renew its treaties with Russia and England and send off instantly the French minister and his suit. After a council of state had been held, it was resolved to seize on the person of the English ambassador and of all English subjects, Mr. Arbuthnot however aware of the approaching storm, had previously made his escape to the English frigate which had brought the summons.
The father of prince Ypsilanti, had been strangled in his prison.

The annual meeting took place on Thursday the 30th of April. The badness of the day prevented many of the company from assembling, nevertheless, the meeting was very respectably attended.
At two o'clock the premium was adjudged to a very fine lamb bred by John Scott, esq. of Strawberry Vale, in the county of Fairfax. This lamb was bred from a Spanish sheep imported from the mountains of Andalusia: his fleece is of fine and beautiful texture, and weighed six pounds and three quarters (a great weight for the descendant of a Spanish sheep).
Mr. Custis has met with every success he could have hoped for, thus far, in his improvements. The present state of the weather has prevented his shearing any of his improved lambs, except in one instance, where the fleece of a sheep, whose weight would not exceed ten pounds per quarter, has produced six pounds of very long and fine wool. Bakewell, the prize ram of 1805, continues to be the stud ram at Arlington: ten of his lambs are intended for Smith's Island this fall, and will greatly improve the native stock in the length of their wool.
A small specimen of Smith's Island wool was exhibited at the meeting, and obtained fresh celebrity. As soon as the season will admit, we shall endeavor to obtain an account of the shearing of the Arlington improved lambs, and transmit it to our readers, feeling much pleasure in being able to lay before the public any thing which may interest the cause of agriculture or domestic manufacture.
The premiums at Arlington for the next & six succeeding years, are, fifty dollars, or a silver cup of that value, bearing an appropriate inscription and motto at the will of the successful candidate: also, thirty dollars for ten yards of what is commonly called Virginia cloth, being composed of cotton alone, and spun and woven by native Americans only. The specimens to be submitted to judges in the usual way.
Captain Coleman of the ship United States, arrived yesterday, from Barbadoes, has politely favored us with a Newpaper of the 11th of April, from which we copy the following:—
BRIDGE-TOWN, April 11.
Conquest of Monte-Video.
The following particulars of this event will be found highly gratifying, being given with an accuracy which does not admit of a doubt, and upon which further proof of the valor, discipline and enterprize of the British arms, we pay a most willing testimony. The account is received from the American brig Troy, John Hazard, forty-
four days from Rio Grande, bound to N. Orleans; spoke by his majesty's ship Jason arrived here this morning from a cruise, and communicated to us from the first authority.
General Achmury with a reinforcement of four or five hundred men, about the 7th of January last arrived at Maldonado, and after having embarked all our troops then there, proceeded up the river towards Monte Video, landed at point Cartas, about three miles from town, the 19th, and immediately attacked and routed a body of Spaniards collected to prevent their landing, taking from them a twenty-four pounder. The English then marched and took post at the watering place, about a mile from the town.—On the 23d the Spaniards came out of Monte Video with five thousand men to attack them.—The English immediately decamped and formed an apparent retreat, till they got 3 miles from the town, when they halted: the Spaniards who supposed them flying, pursuing in a most furious manner, huzzaing &c. during his retreat a party of 300 cavalry, with some infantry, were loaded between the enemy and town from our ships. On being attacked, the enemy made a very faint resistance, and retired in the greatest confusion, only 3400 Spaniards getting back to the town. The vice roy, with 100 men, escaped into the country. Our troops then proceeded to invest the town; and on the 2d Feb having made a feint at the harbor (or North Gates, which drew the enemy's attention to that part) the English army entered by the Sea Gates, which they faced, and after a great carnage, took possession of the town.
When the Troy left Rio Grande, the English were preparing to proceed for Buenos Ayres.
General Beresford was still a prisoner about ten leagues from Buenos Ayres, and the English prisoners, said to be about three hundred deficient in their original number, are dispersed about the country.
A report of the expected arrival at Martinique, of the Rochefort squadron, has again been revived here. His majesty's schooner Morse Fortune, is said to have brought some accounts to this effect, from St. Lucia, which state that the squadron consists of six sail of the line and some frigates, with 3000 troops.
A neutral from St. Pierre's, which left it four days ago, and arrived here last night, in some measure corroborates the report; yet it does not appear to attract much attention in either our naval or military circles, although we understand that sir Alexander Cochrane, with his squadron of the line, goes to sea in consequence this evening.
IMPORTANT.
Extract of a letter from Hugh G. Campbell, Esquire, commander of the United States ship Constitution, dated Syracuse, 15th February, 1807, to Degin Purviance and Co. of Leghorn received here by the brig Swift.
"I left Tunis on the 26th ult. where colonel LEAR is now waiting for me to take him to Algiers; and I am happy to inform you that our affairs with that regency are amicably and honorably adjusted, placing us on a footing with the most favored nations."
