From the National Intelligencer.
Among the French papers we find a long account of the meeting of the grand Sanhedrim, at Paris, of which we have formed an abstract. The facility with which Napoleon has brought the Jews into a subordination to his views is not among the least extraordinary events of his reign.
On the 9th of February the Grand Sanhedrim opened its sittings at Paris.
At 11 o'clock the members of the Sanhedrim went to the house of their chief, from whence they proceeded altogether to the grand synagogue attended by the members of the 1st Jewish assembly. A prayer was offered up in the temple in Hebrew and French, suitable to the circumstances; then was sung a Hebrew hymn and an Hebrew ode, translated into Italian and Latin. The president, M. de Sontstein, then pronounced a discourse in Hebrew, by which the assembly were much affected. After having quoted many sacred texts, the book of the law was drawn from the tabernacle, and the president blessed the assembly, at the same time making a most affecting prayer for the emperor, for the glory of his arms and the return of peace. The temple resounded with cries of "long live the emperor, the empress, the Imperial family and the brave French army." M. de Cologna pronounced a discourse in Italian, which produced the most lively emotion; it turned chiefly on the union between the religious and civil duties of the man, the moral and political duties of the subject. The elegance and warmth of the style, the firm but persuasive tone of the orator raised a general enthusiasm in the hearers.—The Rabbi Cracovia of Venice likewise composed a discourse, which contained an account of the history and origin of the Sanhedrim, and paid a tribute of homage to the emperor, who had just renewed his existence in the midst of us. The temple was nobly and magnificently decorated.
This religious ceremony over the procession proceeded to the Hotel de Ville, where a hall was prepared for their sittings, in conformity to the ancient religious usage; after the transaction of other business the president of the Sanhedrim, ordered to be read a discourse in French of his composition. This discourse filled with religious and liberal ideas, was highly impressive, then was read the preamble and articles, containing the three first points of doctrine peculiar to the Sanhedrim, polygamy, divorce and marriage; then a report concerning the most important considerations of morals, politics and religion.
A committee was then formed to draw up an account of their proceedings, and to transmit the same to his excellency the minister of the interior, when the assembly adjourned to the 18th.
An admirable order reigned throughout the sitting of an assembly, the design of which is to restore to social happiness, a class of men so long persecuted and unhappy.
This ceremony excited general interest and anxiety, as much from its novelty as on account of the great man who has revived an assembly without example in the records of modern history.
A plan of religious government was adopted; by which a synagogue and consistory are ordered to be established in every department, in which are found 20,000 Jews; when that number is not found in one department, the jurisdiction of the synagogue and the consistory will extend to any number of departments, necessary to make up the 20,000.
The functions of the consistory are to guard against the Rabbi giving any instruction, either in private or public, or any explanation of the law which shall be at variance with the answers of the assembly to the question submitted to them by the grand Sanhedrim. 2dly, to maintain order in the synagogues, to watch over the reception and distribution of sums, destined to pay the expenses of divine service—3dly, to encourage all Jews within their jurisdiction, by every possible means, to the exercise of some useful occupation, and to make known to the public authority those who are destitute of the means of gaining an honest livelihood—4thly, to declare every year to the proper authority the number of conscript Jews within his jurisdiction.
The functions of the Rabbi are, 1st, to give religious instruction—2dly, to teach the precepts contained in the decisions of the grand Sanhedrim—3dly, to preach under all its relations obedience to the laws, and especially to those which concern the
defence of the country. They shall more particularly attend to this at the annual period of the conscription, exhorting those under their charge to conform to this law—4thly, to represent to the Jews the military service as a sacred duty, and to explain to them that as long as they devote themselves to this service the law will dispense with the usages and customs which are incompatible with it—5thly, to preach in the synagogues, and to recite prayers for the emperor and the imperial family.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 30. Manifesto of the Ottoman Porte against Russia.
"From the most ancient time, it is to the religious observation of the treaties & conventions between powers, that human societies are indebted for the tranquility & security they enjoy; and those who dare to derogate from this holy observation, scatter trouble and disorder throughout the universe. Every equitable sovereign, even when he sees himself obliged to break with another power, does not decide on such a measure until he has examined with the most scrupulous attention the steps observed in such cases. But the court of Russia, ever pretending to predominate & oppress the neighboring powers, its enterprises constantly tending towards the violation of treaties, its avidity, the treachery with which it infringes the laws of nations, finally its hostile intentions towards the Ottoman states, are notorious and manifest. It has always misunderstood the friendly condescension which the Sublime Porte displayed towards it on every occasion, and answered this condescension only by demonstrations full of sourness and malice. Among other examples, the court of Russia, which, in conformity to the treaty of 1788 (of the Hegira) had no right whatever over the Crimea, employed every imaginary artifice, to attack the independence of that country, and spread disorder throughout it; and at length, even in the midst of peace, caused a numerous army to march thither and took forcible possession of that extensive province. It is known to every nation, that Georgia was at all times under the suzerainete of the Ottoman empire—The court of Russia introducing itself gradually by numerous wiles, into the civil & political affairs of that country, ended at length by taking possession of it without any right.
"The consuls placed by Russia in the Turkish towns, turned aside from their duty the civil officers engaged in the service of the Porte, in the places where they resided; seduced the subjects of the empire, and taking the advantage of the liberty of navigation; which was only granted them for commercial purposes, embarked these subjects on board their ships; and sent them into the countries under the Russian dominion. Independent of these facts the said consuls delivered out protections to the Ottoman subjects, and those trading under the flags of their vessels in the Archipelago, in the very states of the Ottoman empire, and thus audaciously, in a base & unworthy manner, rendered themselves masters of several Ottoman vessels and subjects.
"Hopes were, however, entertained, that when the ties of friendship should be drawn closer by a treaty of alliance between the Sublime Porte and Russia, the latter would desist from her proceedings. So far however, from it, the only made this new treaty serve as an easier means to exercise her bad intentions; and in the treacherous view of exciting a general overthrow and preparing domestic troubles in the very states of her ally, she seduced the subjects of Servia, and by furnishing them with money and ammunition, became their support and guide.
"Russia asked for permission to send provisions for once, to her troops at Teflis. The Sublime Porte, out of regard for her alliance, made no hesitation to transmit her the necessary firman, which she had scarcely received, when she caused a numerous body of troops to be landed at the Phasis, with artillery and warlike stores; by this means she forced the castle of Anakara, and by fortifying herself afterwards, gave a new proof of her bad intentions. The Porte having demanded, as she was justified in doing, by written remonstrances, repeatedly transmitted to the Russian minister at Constantinople that this proceeding should be desisted from, the latter always gave most evasive answers, and never offered proper satisfaction. The conduct of the court of Russia, particularly after the above mentioned alliance, has been so contrary to the spirit which dictated it, that it is by that alone, rendered null and void. It was agreed upon between both empires,
that Russia should have no other pre-eminence over the Septinsular republic, which acknowledged the suzerainete of the Sublime Porte, than that of guarantee, whenever circumstances should make it necessary to place troops there, the two allies were to do so conjointly, and the constitution of the said republic was to be acknowledged and carried into execution with the consent of both parties.
"The court of Russia, notwithstanding this convention, placed in these islands as many troops as it pleased, sent there a constitution drawn up at Petersburg, and ordered it to be carried into execution by those in its service, as in a capacity which wholly belonged to it. Besides which, it made these islands a refuge for the Ottoman subjects of Romelia, secretly or openly seduced, by granting protection to all those who repaired thither. Not content with this, it set on foot every intrigue against the individuals in those countries, engaged in the service of the Porte, and more particularly against H. E. Ali Pacha, governor of Janina.
"The Sublime Porte has proposed in the present war of Europe, to observe the strictest neutrality towards the belligerent parties, the court of Russia on the contrary respecting no law of neutrality and in the formal intention of troubling that of the Porte, took advantage of the passage which had been granted it for a few men of war only, to get a great number of troops conveyed to the Seven Islands; secretly enlisting Albanians, joined them to its own, and unknown to the Porte sent them to Italy. It dared openly to violate the right of nations, by fomenting an insurrection at Montenegro, by the channel of its mandatories; by enlisting troops of the Interior, even of the Ottoman capital, and by committing many other acts contrary to peace.
In like manner it distributed protections in the provinces of Walachia and Moldavia appropriated to itself numberless subjects under different titles; It treated these two provinces nearly like its own possessions; its consuls there took part in the direction of affairs; it persecuted with continual complaints, and by all kinds of vexations, The Vaivodes, (princes) appointed by the Porte, who did not follow its will; on the other hand it openly protected those who showed affection and inclination for itself; so that the appointment of a Vaivode in these two provinces on the part of the Porte, became an object of derision.
"Although each of these grievances might have been a just cause for a declaration of war, still the Sublime Porte showed an unalterable patience, not because she thought herself feeble and impotent, but because she preferred friendly means solely through humane views, and to avoid the effusion of blood. The following is a striking proof of it: The Sublime Porte lately deposed the two Vaivodes of Moldavia and Walachia, from the exigency of the case. The Russian government dissatisfied at not having been apprized of the traitor Vaivode of Walachia, whose perfidy has been sufficiently proved upon several occasions, became hurtful to the Sublime Porte; if she had apprized Russia of this measure, the news of it would have come to the knowledge of the said Vaivodes, which would have occasioned much more embarrassment. It was for this reason that Russia was not informed of it till after the deposition.
"Some time after the Russian minister at Constantinople demanded in the name of his sovereign that the said Vaivode, should be re-instated without delay, declaring that in case of refusal he had orders to depart with his whole legation, as he had notified all his tradesmen and others. He further added that his government did not thereby seek a pretext to realize the hostile intentions which might be imputed to it; but that the reinstatement of the said Vaivodes was his only aim; that if the Porte would consent to it, all difference would be settled between the two powers; that he had express orders to inform his court without delay of the result of this negotiation. The Sublime Porte conceived by this official declaration that the court of Russia sought a pretext decidedly to declare war against her, and that by forming such a pretension, so unjust and so unimportant, it showed that its aim was to impute to the Sublime Porte, the hostile intentions which it nourished in its breast. The Sublime Porte consented, although with reluctance, to the reinstatement of the said Vaivodes, to leave the Russian government no subject of excuse before the powers of Europe.
"The Porte thought, in fine, that the court of Russia would at least blush at its conduct before the other powers, & would renounce its project of making war against the Ottoman empire; by no means, two
months and a half after this period, without there being any new pretext of understanding, and trampling upon the rights of nations at the very moment when everything announced peace and friendship. Russian troops marched unawares upon the Turkish territory, whilst the neighboring inhabitants, as also the government of Bender and Choczim, thought themselves in full safety, under the guarantee of the treaties of friendship. The Russian generals, taking advantage of this state of confidence and peace, and making use of every kind of artifice, seized upon these two fortresses against the laws of nations generally respected by all powers.
The Sublime Porte was not apprized of it till after the event; it demanded explanation upon this head of the Russian minister, the latter made reiterated protestations, that he had written the issue of the affair of the reinstatement of the Vaivodes to his court, as also to the Russian functionaries upon the Dniester, by virtue of the commission which had been delegated to him for this purpose, and that the present march of the Russian troops was not a consequence of the same affair. That as for himself he knew of no motive of rupture, and that his court had communicated to him no information upon this subject.
The Sublime Porte, learning in so unexpected a manner the news of the hostilities committed by the Russians, the occupation of her fortresses, and the invasion of her states, ought directly to have sent away the Russian minister from the capital. Although it was to return violence for violence, the Sublime Porte, ever guided by the love of humanity, desired, however, to remove the misfortunes of war; she asked new explanations of the Russian minister; she fixed to him a term for the entire elucidation of this affair, in hopes that the court of Russia would proceed, in time of peace as in time of war, in a manner becoming a power; and that at least not to have to blush before other courts, it would respect political and civil laws.
Near a month had elapsed since the first hostilities of the Russians, and the Russian minister gave the Porte no answer, except his protesting to have received no elucidation upon this affair; and the patience of the Sublime Porte being driven to extremities, a longer delay became useless and dangerous to her.
On the other hand, general Michelson, chief of the Russian troops, addressed several proclamations to the judges and governors of Romelia, with the design of seducing them from the Ottoman empire; in fine, the unworthy violence of the court of Russia exercised against the Sublime Porte, is unexampled, and no longer to be tolerated.
The hostilities of Russia being notorious and evident, every Mussulman is obliged by religion and the civil law to take vengeance of this perfidious enemy. In declaring war against her, the Sublime Porte puts its whole confidence in the all powerful and avenging God; and to repress the audacity of the enemy, she is obliged to arm by sea and land, to cause all her forces to advance and make themselves act with energy. This the Sublime Porte has only served to augment the audacity and violence of Russia. The Sublime Porte having for her all possible reasons, the court of Russia remains responsible for the blood which will be shed and for the misfortunes which must overwhelm humanity; and until that court respect treaties and alliances, the impossibility of having any confidence in it must be a truth acknowledged by all the powers who are directed by sentiments of justice and moderation.
Although the motives above expressed be facts notorious and known to the whole world, and it be by no means necessary to publish them, however, to follow the official usage, a copy of the present declaration has been delivered to the foreign ministers resident in the capital, to be communicated to their respective courts.

POSEN, February 24.
A proclamation was addressed the 1st of this month to the German inhabitants of Poland, which contains, in substance, what follows:
"German inhabitants of Poland,"
"Fidelity towards the state is only required of you, with tranquility in your habitations. You have no other enemies than those who excite you, by menaces, to exercise hostilities against the Poles, and by encouraging you to revolt, expose you to the most terrible and just chastisement.
To avoid this evil, I order as follows:
1st. Germans who inhabit Poland shall enjoy the free exercise of their religion; they shall be protected in person and property. They shall be regarded as brethren and countrymen, as long as they remain quiet in their houses, and have no understanding with the enemy of the state; as they shall be faithful to the Polish government, and shall pay the contributions and fixed taxes.
2d. Those who will not fulfil those duties, and shall dare to hold a correspondence with

the enemies of the French and Poles, be- tween the French or Polish troops, spread false reports, or take up arms against the troops, shall be shot as soon as taken by the detach- ments.
3d. The constables, mayors and authorities who shall not use their exertions to stifle a growing revolt, or who do not give immediate advice of it to the nearest detachment of French or Polish troops, shall be regarded as principals of the revolt, and punished with death; and every parish in which a like re- volt shall take place, shall not escape the most rigorous military execution.
"DOMBROWSKI."
MATANZAS, January 29.
The mate and four hands belonging to the ship Charlotte, capt. Benj. Jennings, lying in this port and ready for sea, came on shore in her boat on ship's duty; on which duty they were detained until between 9 and 10 o'clock in the evening.
The oars belonging to the boat had been put into a yard near the wharf for security—on re- turning to go on board (it being very dark) the oars belonging to the ship's boat were put on board another boat of nearly the same size, and which lay near the other at the wharf—the mistake was quickly rectified, and in taking the oars, one of them belonging to the ship Charlotte was left in the strange boat, and one of her's taken in exchange. Passing a point at the mouth of the river, they were hailed by a person supposed to be an officer of the cus- toms, as was usual, and on the boat coming ashore, a man attempted to take away the oars but was resisted. They went on board the ship without further molestation, and im- mediately dispatched two of the same men and a small black boy, with some medicine for the owner, who was sick on shore. These men, boy and boat, were seized upon by a gun boat, and there detained till near morning, when the said gun boat getting under weigh, came along side of the ship Charlotte, and with a boat fifty men, seized upon the mate; and af- ter stripping him, tied him to the mast, and then with a cat gave him forty-two lashes. They then released the men, boy and boat, and said, go where you please.
We the undersigned, eye and ear witnesses of the facts above stated, declare them all to be just and true, and will, when we arrive in any port of the U. States, testify to the same on oath.

MATANZAS (Island of Cuba) Jan. 30, 1807. James Madison, Sec'y. of State.
SIR, The undersigned American citizens, now in this port, under the pressure of the most serious concern, conceive it our duty to ad- dress you upon a subject deeply interesting to our feelings. We are well aware that the con- stitutional organ, through which these com- munications ought to be made, is the consul or commercial agent, but as neither of these officers reside here, we are under the necessity of doing it ourselves.
The enclosed statement, to which we have affixed our signatures, we have examined and compared it with many corroborating circum- stances, all of which came within our own knowledge, and finding they so well agree, we hesitate not to express our opinion of its truth.
The act of exchanging the car under simi- lar circumstances might have happened under the direction of any one of us, and can be termed nothing more than accident, by no means bearing even the appearance of guilt. The opposition made by the boat's crew at the point, was no doubt improper; but it ought to be considered that it was the act of the men in the boat, and from our knowledge of the con- duct of sailors, after being indulged with only a few hours on shore, we affirm that seldom any thing short of positive force will restrain them.
We therefore venture to express our opi- nion, that the conduct of Francisco Pieble, commandant of a gun boat, now stationed at Matanzas, on going on board an unarmed, in- offensive vessel, seizing the first officer, and ignominiously bestowing upon him more than forty lashes, was entirely upon his own re- sponsibility, without the knowledge of his su- perior officers, and totally contrary to the laws of this country.
This unfortunate man was tried unheard, and this disgraceful punishment inflicted, with- out it being possible for the devoted victim to know the crime for which he suffered—and what (if possible) added to the injury, the A-
merican flag was waving nearly over the head of the unhappy sufferer. This unwarrantable proceeding we conceive, calls particularly for national enquiry.
With sentiments of esteem,
Yours respectfully,
Signed by all the masters of American ves- sels at Matanzas at the preceding date.

NORFOLK, April 27.
Yesterday morning about two o'clock the ship Betsy, captain Treadwell, of New York, was discovered to be on fire at Murray's wharf —The fasts were immediately cut and it be- ing ebb tide the ship drifted down the river.— We are sorry to add that the fire could not be arrested, but that this fine ship with a valua- ble cargo of Tobacco, wheat and flour, with which she was fully laden, were consumed, except about forty hhd. of tobacco, the great- er part of which was damaged. We cannot help remarking that the dangerous practice of having fire and candle on board of vessels at the wharves, after a certain and early hour of the night, merits the attention of the police. Every one must be satisfied that if the tide had been flood, the extent of damage that might have ensued is incalculable. A boy who was in the steerage asleep was unfortunately burn- ed.

The ship Two Brothers in 27 days from Liverpool, went up the bay for Baltimore on Monday last, and brings important in- formation. A person who was on board of her as she came into the Copes, informs that accounts by her state, that a great battle was fought on the 1st of March be- tween the Russian and French armies, in which the latter were totally defeated with great loss; that in consequence there had been great illuminations at Liverpool. This ship no doubt reached Baltimore last even- ing—We shall wait with some impatience for details.

FOR THE DAILY ADVERTISER.
ON accidentally perusing the Expo- sitor I discovered a piece under the signa- ture of Sydney , which, from its peculiar merits, deserves attention.
Without indulging in any conjectures with regard to the character of its author, let us briefly examine the story itself. At first sight we perceive the offering of dis- appointment and mortification.
He tells us, that from the mildness of his disposition he has hitherto avoided all participation in the political dissensions of his neighbors, but experience had proved that no conduct of his, however mild or conciliatory, could produce any effect. I sincerely regret that so sweet a temper should be ruffled, and I lament still more the weakness which overcame his resolu- tion, and induced him to expose at once his ignorance and his malevolence. He has evinced either his ignorance or his hypo- crisy in asserting that eight tenths of the inhabitants of Alexandria are Federalists ! Unfortunately for us this is not the case. The turbulent spirit of Democracy has ex- tended its influence to our little town, and it has now the honor to boast of a majority of those virtuous men who style themselves Republicans . Perhaps their influence in public affairs is not proportionate to their number! Why? Because they are too well known to be trusted with the direction of them. He tells us, that no republican can reside among us without subjecting himself to "daily insult, and the most virulent persecution." Admitting for a moment that his assertion is correct, let us ask why they are subject to this daily insult? Be- cause they daily incur it by their conduct! But in reality the respectable Democratic residents of Alexandria are always treated with attention and respect. It is true that the majority of its democratic citizens are held in sovereign contempt. What char- acters compose the majority? The scape- goats of justice who have fled from their own country and found an asylum for "the oppressed" in our's—men of desperate for- tunes, corrupt principles, and still more corrupt views: 'Tis the ultimatum of their desires to destroy all government and good order, from the conviction that both are inimical to their promotion.
Who are the worthy republicans who have been compelled to leave the place of their residence, and to seek an asylum in some more virtuous, more liberal city?— Men who possessed ambition without the abilities to attain its object—They resided with us so long as their views and charac- ters were concealed—They left us because they were no longer esteemed.
It is unnecessary to remark upon the two ridiculous stories of the democratic merchant and his brother dray-man—They are to be regarded only as the embellishments of a bad story, and tho' we may be inclin- ed to applaud Sydney for the fertility of his invention, yet at the same time we must remember, that it was exercised at the ex- pence of truth. It is equally unnecessary to refute the imputations which, in the sweetness of his temper, he has so modest- ly thrown upon the gentlemen who fill what he terms the influential offices —Their char- acters are too well known to require re- presentation, and too honorably establish- ed to require a defence: His insinuations will only serve to increase the contempt which is always due to native insignifi- cance.
As to Sydney himself, I would advis- e him to resume the screen of his native ob- scurity. He should never obtrude upon public attention his crude ideas of public affairs. If, however, he should persevere in his desperate attempts, let me beg that his glowing effusions may be employed to grace the columns of the Expositor only. In a dirty house we shall always expect to find dirty furniture.

Massacre at St. Domingo. —Captain Chase, who arrived at Boston on the 22d ultimo, in 21 days from Guadalupe, states that when he left there a report prevailed and was be- lieved, that the blacks in St. Domingo had murdered all the white and colored people, including, among the former, all the Ameri- cans.
The following paragraph relative to the present unhappy situation of Harvard College is copied from the Salem Friend
HARVARD COLLEGE.
We are sorry to learn that no prospect exists of a reconciliation of the students to their government and their duty. Those of our readers whose remoteness may leave them ignorant of an event which has tar- nished the lustre of the most ancient semi- nary of learning in our country we would inform that a misunderstanding has lately arisen between the under graduates and the college government relative to the commons which the former found fault with as being composed of bad provisions. Immediate satisfaction not having been given in this article, after a petition had been presented to obtain it; the students one day left the hall in a body and their dinner untouched. For this violation of decorum the government, besides other measures of severity, required a general apology. Some relented and made it; but a large majority refused & in consequence dissolved connection with the University. The seceding students have publish- ed an appeal which is temperate and re- spectful.
It is justly observed in the Register, that "the avenues to the capital while they have assisted commerce, have not been of equal advantage to the students of Cam- bridge." Vicinity to a metropolis has been generally found disadvantageous to a seat of learning. A scale might perhaps be gra- tuated of the purity of manners in Euro- pean Seminaries, by their geographical distance from capitals. The school of Winchester is less rebellious than that of Westminster, and the colleges of Aber- deen and St. Andrews are distinguish- ed by more sobriety than that of Edinburg. If the Universities of Oxford and Cam- bridge be thought exceptions from this truth it may be urged that the size of these towns gives them a rank equal to many capitals, and that they overflow with all the vices of large cities.

Twenty Dollars will be paid if taken in the district, and the above re- ward if taken above 10 miles without proof ded that she is so secured that I get her gain.
