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

From a late London Paper.
POLITICAL BALANCE OF EUROPE.
M. GAVIL has lately published an able work upon the political balance of Europe, in which he enters into a view of the events that preceded and have followed the peace of Presburg. We recommend it to the attentive perusal of our readers. The following extract from it is by no means unseasonable at the present moment:
"The duty of rousing the public spirit, is the common duty of us all; but here also the governments must lead the way. For if they do not set the example, we have no right to expect that, in an age like ours, so distinguished for general culture, for the development of individual talent, for the refined enjoyment of life, for constantly increasing riches, for growing corruption, for the chain of so many private occupations which tempt to a renunciation of those of a more public nature, and which induce individuals to devote their cares exclusively to their own happiness, their own improvement, or pleasures, people shall again take a hearty and lively interest in the public welfare, depending as it does upon the existence and preservation of a great political union. But princes, and particularly those of high rank, are created and live expressly for the purpose of managing the high trust of the general interest. For this purpose they must, before all things, be true to that which to them is dearest. Their most sacred duty is never to permit any diminution of their own rights, but to maintain in fact the degree of political weight, importance and influence, which has been consigned to them; and not to tolerate, under any pretence, the introduction of changes into the general system of the political relations and distributions of power in Europe, by which, sooner or later, they might be driven from their proper stations. But they are no less called upon & obliged to watch over, maintain and defend the independence, security and rights of their neighbors, their allies, and of every acknowledged, and legally constituted power; even those of their rivals, and those of their occasional enemies. From the moment that they no longer feel themselves strong enough to prevent the weakest and most inconsiderable state from being injured with impunity, or robbed of its independence by the criminal and arbitrary acts of a stronger, their own thrones become unstable. We must bear of no insular systems, no indifference to a danger apparently foreign to their own immediate interests, no absolute neutrality, no unconditional seclusion from any important transaction! The fear of involving themselves in endless disputes and continual wars by this policy (the only true and worthy policy) is altogether imaginary, and is suggested by false philanthropy, or ignoble sloth and pusillanimity. The more industry and vigor is employed in checking the first acts of injustice and violence, the less frequent will be the cases in which it will be necessary to march forth to fight against them in the field; the more steadfastly they hold themselves in a state of preparation, the greater reluctance will be felt to challenge them to combat. In a word, the more perfect, harmonious, and stable the federal system of the European states, the greater the sensibility each individual discovers to every violation of common rights, the stronger the tie which binds each member to the collective body, the more rarely wars occur."
It is impossible that the history of our time should pass without producing some beneficial fruits for us and our posterity. Whether Bonaparte, in the recesses of his haughty and gloomy mind, has really conceived the idea of a universal monarchy; under what form he has conceived it; what progress he has made in forming the project, and when and how he thinks of realizing it, all this futurity will disclose. But so much is clear and certain, that in the course of six frightful years he has been doing without intermission, all that he must do on the very worst supposition, and that he has succeeded in things which seem very unequivocally to prognosticate the most pernicious and desperate issue. Were every thing here to close, were his career to be terminated, were our undertakings to be crowned with complete success, and his star to set for ever, is it possible that we could forget what sorrows, what bitterness, what disgrace, what troubles, what convulsions, what a grievous load of present evils,
"Such expressions as "The fate of this or that land, of this or that part of Europe, does not concern them;" or "That they would confine themselves wholly to the maintenance of tranquility in this or that circle;" or "That they had done their duty in admitting this or that state within their line of demarcation," &c. should never be heard from a prince or a statesman."
and what anguish for every coming day, was felt throughout the greatest and best part of Europe, from a bare attempt and beginning to effect such a project? And shall we not therefore adopt every expedient which wisdom can devise to prevent the return of these hard trials?
Of Gaeta. —In one of our late London papers we have found the following articles of capitulation demanded by the garrison of this little fortress so justly celebrated for their determined and gallant opposition to the arms of France. "It was in March (says the Courier) that the French first sat down before that insignificant fortress, as the Moniteur called it, defended by a small garrison of 1600 men. For nearly five months it braved all the efforts of the French arms, and kept an army of sixteen thousand men employed before it. For eleven days the fortress was bombarded, and did not capitulate till a great part of the town had been laid in ashes, and two practicable breaches been effected."
ARTICLES OF CAPITULATION, Demanded by the garrison of Gaeta, after a siege of five months, and after two breaches were made.
Article 1. The service of the Holy Catholic, Apostolic and Roman religion, shall be respected and preserved.
Answer. Granted. Art. 2. All the garrison shall be permitted to embark with their arms, baggage, provisions, and the whole train of field-pieces in the place.
Ans. In consideration of the brave defence made by the garrison, they are permitted likewise to embark with their arms and provisions; it being understood, that the troops which compose it shall not carry arms, nor serve against France and her allies, nor against those of his majesty Joseph Napoleon, during one year and a day, either upon the continent or in the islands. Eight pieces of field cannon are granted to the garrison; the rest of the field artillery, that of the fortress, and all the magazines, as well the ammunition as the victuals and other military effects, shall be faithfully delivered up to the French army, without dilapidation. At the same time, provisions for ten days shall be granted to the garrison.
Art. 3. All the wounded who remain in the place, as well as the sick, shall enjoy all the rights of hospitality, and shall be treated every one according to his rank. Every thing necessary shall be furnished by the French army.
Ans. Granted.
Art. 4. All persons employed under the crown, such as the civil governor, the auditor of the army, and all the members of the little tribunal, shall be respected in their persons, their properties, and their families. No individual who may wish to leave the place, and to change his country, shall be prevented, neither he nor his family. Individuals, in such case, for their own security, will provide themselves with the necessary passports.
Ans. Granted.
Art. 5. Twenty-four hours after the ratification of the present capitulation, the interval during which the Neapolitan troops will embark, the French troops may enter the place. During this interval, an officer of artillery of the fortress, conjointly with an officer of the French artillery, shall proceed to the surrender of the place, as far as relates to the artillery, the ammunition, and the other effects.
Ans. On the 19th of July, at eight in the evening, all the troops composing the garrison of Gaeta must be embarked. Nevertheless, the same day, at precisely five in the morning, the principal gate of the city, and the bastion of the bastion of Breccia in front of the fortification, shall be surrendered to the French troops. No French soldier shall be permitted to enter the town or the citadel, except the officers and commissioners charged with receiving the artillery and magazines of the place.
At eight in the evening, the town, the whole front towards the sea coast, shall be occupied by the Imperial and royal troops. Done, agreed upon, and subscribed, on the part of the garrison, by M. Louis Bardet, lieutenant-colonel of Engineers, and Gaetano Barone, captain commandant of the First Free Corps, provided with full powers by col. Francisco Hertz, commandant, and, ad interim , governor of the place; and on the part of his excellency the marshal of the empire Massena, commanding the besieging army before Gaeta, by the general of brigade Franceschi, commandant of the legion of honor, &c. provided with full powers by the marshal.

New Coalition against France.
We are indebted to a respectable merchant of this city, (says the New-York Gazette) for the following extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, August 19th—received by the Hudson.
"I send this down to the Rock, by a boat in time for the Hudson, to advise you that the mail from Hamburg brings accounts of Prussia, Germany, Sweden, and other powers, having formed a coalition against France, and try with her the fate of arms once more. This information is brought by the 2d edition of the OBSERVER, a Sunday paper of the 17th August. Perhaps, however, it is a stock-jobbing business."
Extract of a letter from Messrs. Thomas and Adrian Cremer, Rotterdam, dated August 8, 1805.
"To day we have the news of the arrival of Lord Lauderdale, in France, and peace is reckoned now as nearly certain. Coffee has declined nearly to peace prices. St. Domingo coffee in hds, was offered to day at 12 3/4 stivers, Mocha coffee, 12 to 13; nominal prices of sugars are, brown Havana 10 groats, brown Muscovado 8, pepper in bags about 19, exchange 37 1/4."
Extract of a letter from a commercial gentleman in London, dated the 14th August, received per the ship Sheffield arrived at Norfolk.
"Business of every kind is dull here, except what is connected with the stocks, and the dealers in cotton. When Lord Lauderdale embarked for France, annuity rose to 12 3/4 per cent. from 7 per cent. but it has been gradually going down again, and is now about 9 per cent. premium. When the idea of a peace first became prevalent, cotton was very dull at seventeen pence half-penny per lb. some sales have lately been made at twenty pence, under an opinion that a peace will extend the demand for manufactured goods, in proportion to the restriction which it is the policy of France at present to impose on all British manufactures. Tobacco has fallen about ten per cent. in consequence of the appearance of peace. As to flour, no great change has yet happened, but if the harvest is as productive as it is expected, that article will possibly fall considerably."
"We are without any intelligence from Lord Lauderdale since he reached Paris, and the opinion for peace and war seem nearly equal."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the county of Rapide, Orleans territory, to his friend in Philadelphia.
Rapide, on Red river, August 25, 1806.
"Sir, The governor of the territory passed this place on Friday last, on his way to Natchitoches, where, nothing but our weakness has prevented us from attacking the Spaniards, who are said to be erecting works near the Adais. The evil effects of our present relaxed administration are now felt, as the militia in the neighborhood of the probable seat of warfare is unorganized, unprovided with arms, and from the total neglect of them and their late masters since the American government took possession of that country, are supposed to be the least attached to it of all the people of Louisiana. Such of us as had an idea that hostilities might take place, now begin to change our opinion, as we know the governor (fond of imitating the reigning powers) will rather negotiate than fight. Although we ought in conscience to support the ground we have taken in order not to be laughed at after the blustering and threatening, yet I would venture to assert we shall give up the point in dispute for the moment. If the governor can prevail on the commanding officer at Natchitoches to follow his advice rather than persist on our attempt to compel the Spaniards to fall back to where they were driven by our troops in February last. The governor has been long desirous of showing his talents for negotiation, and for that purpose has wished for the appointment of consul general at Algiers (not for the purpose of forming a seraglio as the wicked boys who frequent government house, and to whom he unbosoms himself assert) but to show his native spirit and energy; and he will have on the present occasion a fair opportunity of displaying it, and convincing the incredulous how well qualified he is for a place, to which every true American in the territory wishes for the good of it, he had been long since fair and safely removed. I shall keep you advised of events in this neighborhood as they occur, we being here only 25 leagues from Natchitoches, and having almost daily communications with it. Martineau, a lately imported Frenchman from Europe and now resident here, has shown himself
very impudent and forgetful of the protection he has enjoyed among us. I hope his conduct will draw his excellency's animadversion at least upon him, when his other more important concerns will permit him to attend to it. We are informed that three of the four companies now at Fort Adams, in the Mississippi territory, and captain Bowyers company at Opelousas, have received orders to march to Natchitoches, and when they arrive our effective force there will amount to at least five hundred men. The Spaniards already on this side the territory amount to at least fifteen hundred, without including the Indians, a great many of whom they have at their devotion. Our party under Mr. Freeman are said to have been overtaken by the Spaniards and forced to return to Natchitoches.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Fort Adams to his friend in New Orleans, dated Sept. 1, 1806.
"I suspect that the Spanish Natchitoches story will be like the shearing of the hogs. Not a word since the last mail, in addition to the troops and garrisons advanced against the enemy. Major Francis Jones and captain Kerbey, have left this in company, on Friday last, for Natchitoches. If your governor always acted from a correct mind and sound judgment, it might be a matter of wonder and conjecture what took HIM there; but we must in these days take things as they are. My reason for believing that all this mountain in labor will bring forth a mouse, is, that a number of dispatches have been forwarded from the war office to the commanding officer at Natchitoches—Our administration would not dare to continue the orders as originally given for the government of the commanding officer at that place. Wilkinson is not arrived, nor have we any account respecting him."
Copy of a letter from Bordeaux to the keeper of the coffee-house of Baltimore, dated August 17.
"Reports of peace between England and France have been very prevalent here for the last fortnight; but seem now to abate, though probably with no more reason than they were propagated, as both Lord Lauderdale and Lord Yarmouth are still in Paris. In the mean time commerce is at a stand and very little doing."
Captain Allen, arrived from Bordeaux this forenoon, states, that accounts were received at Bordeaux on the 18th August, that Lord Lauderdale was to leave Paris on the 12th of that month. West-India produce, which had been very low, was rising rapidly, and 200,000 wt. coffee had been sold a few days before at 37 dollars per 100 wt. clear of duties.

From the Commercial Advertiser.
As the Gout is one of the most afflictive disorders, and has hitherto baffled the power of Medicine, it is a duty of humanity to circulate the following extract from an account of the celebrated Linnaeus and his writing.
"LINNAEUS derived great benefit under the attacks of Gout, to which he was particularly subject, from the use of Strawberries. It appears that about the end of June 1750, he experienced so violent an attack as to be unable to take either nourishment or repose for a fortnight; and he could not keep his feet quite two minutes at a time. The complaint passed from one foot to the other, into his hands, and also to the other joints, affecting them with redness, swelling, and all the usual appearances. A plate of Strawberries having been accidentally brought to him while he was in this afflicted state, they proved the only article that was at all grateful to his palate, and after eating them he slept some hours, the only time during the whole fourteen days of his illness. When he awoke he ate more strawberries, and having again good sleep from midnight until the next morning, he found himself well enough to leave his bed, and in fact experienced no pain whatever, though the disease had of course debilitated him extremely. The following year the Gout came on about the same period: and our Invalid being at Arronningholm, his pale, sickly countenance struck the Queen, who very condescendingly enquired what he would take. Linnaeus replied Strawberries (which were not to be procured.) Her majesty however ordered a plate of this fruit to be brought and having eaten that quantity, he found himself well enough next morning to go to court. The Gout returned the third year, but in a much slighter degree than before, and was again cured by Strawberries; and on its access the
the fourth and fifth times, at the same season in the succeeding years, the same occurrences took place, and they were remedied by the same means. The attacks gradually became less violent, and by persevering in the use of this fruit every summer they did not recur at all for nearly 20 years; indeed we do not find that Linnaeus experienced a return of the Gout even after that period. Linnaeus, of course always recommended Strawberries to arthritic patients in general, as preferable to any other medicinal remedy discovered for the cure of their disorders. It is proper however to add, that "two cases are mentioned, shewing that wholesome as Strawberries are universally, they will not without causing act as poison on some persons. They occasioned syncope, succeeded by a petechial efflorescence on the skin."
