RUNAWAY NEGRO.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named CRESHAW. 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 bristly head, and when spoken to has a scary and down look. When he went away he had a green broad 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.

PROJECTS.
From the RICHMOND ENQUIRER. ON THE POLICY OF THE U. STATES TOWARDS FOREIGN NATIONS.
NEXT to our own internal government, and, with which, by the bye, this subject is closely connected, there can be nothing of greater interest or importance, offered to the consideration of an American, than the policy of the United States towards foreign nations. The affair is now arrived at a crisis; our national dignity will receive an indelible stain, or remain as heretofore, pure and spotless upon the page of history. De Yrujo is re-appointed, by his court, at the command of Bonaparte, minister plenipotentiary near the United States! If he is received in that character, we shall be the most degraded and despised nation upon earth: if he is sent from our country, and repulsed, as he should be, with indignity and insult, from our shores, WAR with France and Spain , is the inevitable consequence. Since the battle of Austerlitz there has been but one man on the continent of Europe: on that eventful day the political existence of every other inhabitant, be he prince or peasant, of continental Europe, was annihilated. But the battle of Trafalgar, too, did much; and oppressed human nature may yet boast that there is one independent nation in the eastern world. That "little bit of land in the ocean,"* called Britain, still opposes a sturdy opposition, and inexpugnable bulwark to the views of universal empire which it is manifest are entertained by Bonaparte. This man, by a series of wonderful achievements, has elevated himself to the very pinnacle of chimerical glory, and to the zenith of human power.
"High on a throne of royal state, which far Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind, Or where the gorgeous east with richest hand Show'rson her kings barbaric pearl and gold, SATAN exalted sat, by merit rais'd To that bad eminence; and ***** Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires Aspires beyond thus high"
Yes, although Bonaparte is "thus high uplifted," he yet "aspires beyond thus high." We do not deny that he has designs upon the feeble states washed by the waves of the Mediterranean; upon the Morea, Syria, Egypt, and possibly the Barbary shores; indeed he may carry his romantic ambition to the length of attempting, in imitation of Alexander, an overland expedition to India: But does this prove that he does not also want "ships colonies and commerce," here in our western world? Will the advocate for a robber say that his taking a purse out of the left pocket is any proof that he did not also take one out of the right? Is the friend of this imperial desperado prepared to defend him upon these grounds? And these, I think, are the only grounds upon which he has been defended. But on the contrary are not Bonaparte's views upon Spanish America, the West Indies, and these "good old United States," like the lies of Falstaff, "gross as a mountain, open, palpable?" Is not his re-appointment of that little swarthy, upstart Spanish monkey, De Yrujo, intended, to the apprehensions of all men, as an insult to our government, for the purpose of provoking that war which, however abject and servile we become, cannot much longer be protracted? It is, and no man whose understanding is not perverted, can deny it. It is therefore time enough for us to strike a blow. The isthmus of Darien is the proper boundary between North and South America; and it is not visionary to say, that the emancipation of the whole of the country south of Paraguay, Panama and Terra Firma, is completely in our power, and surely very much our interest to effect. Our peace and happiness have been too long jeopardized by the neighborhood of an insidious friend. This circumstance has too long exposed us to the machinations of the greedy tyrants of enslaved Europe. It is time to expel these marauders from the soil of Columbia. It is time that we should be able to lay our heads on our peaceful pillows, undisturbed with the dreams of Spanish or French robbers. If it be said that an extension of territory is not desirable for the U. States, there are two replies at hand, both, in my judgment, unanswerable; who can set bounds to the federative system? These states, from North to south, and from east to west, of immense extent, are happily governed by it; why not extend it to the isthmus of Darien! Why not to the straits of Magellan? But if this be thought extravagant, which it certainly is not, let the territory of the United States remain as at present, but free Spanish America from its dependance on Europe.
That this event is desirable, I suppose no one will deny; and, as I cannot fore-
* One of Dibden's patriotic airs.
see any objection to its practicability, I will not solve difficulties by anticipation. Perhaps, though, it may be thought necessary that I should show how these events should be brought about. This will lead me back to the title of this essay—our foreign relations. The last advices from England state, that our differences with that country were in a train of amicable and satisfactory adjustment. Mr. Monroe himself entertained no doubts of his success, and calculated, the last time the writer of this heard from him, through a private channel, upon concluding his mission and returning to his native land in a few weeks. Such being the happy state of our affairs with that country, I do not hesitate to say that it is the policy of the U. S. to form an alliance, offensive and defensive with G. B. for the express purpose of throwing our weight into her scale of opposition to the universal ambition of Bonaparte. We could do this, for reasons before mentioned, without making the smallest sacrifice. We could secure the powerful and invincible aid of the British navy; without paying a shilling for it. What would G. B. expect in return for this assistance? She would expect what we could give her, without loss to us, but at the same time of unspeakable advantage to herself; of advantage to her in that very object of ambition for which she so bravely and unceasingly contends. With our assistance G. Britain could conquer and retain the whole West Indian Archipelago. We do not want these islands: We have not a fleet to protect them. But G. Britain does want them: and G. Britain has a fleet to protect them. It is our policy to expel every European nation from the continents of North and South America; and G. Britain would readily give up Canada for the West Indies. What an enviable and elevated happiness would then be our lot! The whole western world, from Cape Horn to the north pole, "free as air!" These views are extensive; but valor and perseverance can work miracles. I suppose that there is no political sceptic, no infatuated friend of Bonaparte, who will deny that America and Great Britain allied, in this manner, could successfully oppose the world. Here then would where be a barrier to the ambition of Bonaparte; then might Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Fox issue their imperative mandate: "thus far shalt thou go and no farther."
Some men pretend to entertain fears for our inestimable political institutions from a close alliance with Great Britain; but to me these fears appear idle and groundless. Two nations may form the closest alliance, for the great purposes of defence and national security, without their governments assimilating in the remotest degree. Let Great Britain preserve her kingly government, if it so pleases her, and let us as we can and shall, preserve our own democratic form of rule; free from the alloy of hereditary distinctions. Great Britain will appreciate the value of our alliance too much to hazard it by even again officiously interfering with our councils. And indeed if under another administration she should be so unwise as to attempt it, it is to be hoped that our government, if not too virtuous will at least be too politic to barter the interests of their country, for any paltry benefit that a minion of Britain could bestow. Truly I cannot perceive what interest or motive Britain could have for making such an attempt. As to involving us in a war with France, Bonaparte is about to effect that purpose ready to their hands; and as such is the inevitable necessity, let us use the power of the only nation on earth that can effectually assist us. Our situation is so peculiarly happy with respect to Great Britain, that she can essentially aid us; without possessing the means of annoying any of our possessions, save our commerce and our seaport towns.
As to the expences of this war, and the consequent increase of our debt, this, it must be allowed, is only paying the price of liberty and independence. But in Mexico and Peru we shall find a sponge to wipe away, at one brush, our national debt, if it were ten times as great as it is.
These hasty remarks are written by one who was not born in '76, but who was a republican in '98, and is a republican in 1806; who was in favor of France when Europe was combined against her, and now is in favor of Britain when Europe is combined against her.
ALCIBIADES.
Hanover, Sept. 29, 1806.
From a London Monthly Review, for June, 1806.
A Review of a pamphlet entitled "The War as it is, and as it should be: by a true Englishman, London, June, 1806."
"Peace," says Milton, "has its victories," and peace may have its hostilities,
not less fatal than actual war. We are in a predicament which requires us to look to other circumstances than merely the sheathing of the sword. If peace be made it should include all the terms which actual friendship between nations implies; for unless this point be obtained it cannot be of long duration. The writer of the present pamphlet inforses the importance of this principle, and he justly contends that "If France expects to be admitted to the participation of amicable privileges, in consequence of the peace which she enters into with us, we have a right to expect a participation of corresponding principles in consequence of the peace into which we enter with her." Should the enemy reject this proposal and determine on perpetual warfare against our commerce and manufactures, the author recommends the adoption of a new species of warfare, in order to force him to equitable terms. Ministers are advised rejecting the former public code, to refuse the privilege hitherto allowed to neutral flags; to repress the "War in Disguise," which they are procuring; to blockade the enemy's ports, and, copying Bonaparte's example, to erect some new empires; and to enter into a competition with him in the trade of King-making. It is strongly urged to form a new kingdom of Bourbon for Louis XVIII in South America; to slice off an extensive district from Spanish America for the family of Portugal, should they be driven out of Europe; to appropriate to our own use the remainder of the Spanish provinces in the new world; to give the Cape of Good-Hope to the emperor of Russia, and the island of Martinique to the king of Sweden, to conquer Corsica, Minorca, Majorca and Ivice for the king of Sardinia; to recompence the king of Naples for his lost territories in Europe, by St. Domingo, Guadalupe, &c. and to force Bonaparte to acknowledge these empires which we shall have created, in return for our acknowledgement of the new states which he has erected on the continent."
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.
Latest Foreign News.
By the ship Eliza from Liverpool, and the Science, captain Howard, from London, we have completed our files of London papers and Lloyd's Lists to the 16th of August.
The prospect of peace it will be perceived is not so flattering as the reports we had for some time past been in the habit of receiving would have inclined us to suppose. On this subject interesting not only to the belligerent parties but to the whole civilized world, and especially to our own country, we have been favored with the following extracts from letters, of a date subsequent to any printed accounts.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 17.
"A messenger has arrived from our ambassador at Paris. The intelligence by him is understood to be such, that the prospects of peace are materially lessened. Probably the French government having concluded a separate peace with Russia, have risen in their demands. The funds have in consequence experienced a considerable decline."
"We were yesterday upon the point of dispatching the annexed prices current, when we received advices through the public prints and private letters that Lord Lauderdale was upon his return from Paris, without effecting the object of his mission. The accounts this morning neither absolutely contradict nor confirm this statement—the whole rests upon the depression of the public funds, which in Omnim is a reduction of full 4 percent."
To the last letter is added as a postscript, under date of the 18th, "The accounts this morning corresponds with those of yesterday."
Mr. Fox was rapidly advancing in a state of convalescence, and had been able to devote a portion of his time to his official duties. His physicians had encouraged his family and friends with the hope of his being out of danger.
Captain Howard informs us that in consequence of dispatches recently received, Mr. Monroe would postpone his return to America until the ensuing spring; and the time of Mr. Erskine's departure on his embassy to the government of the United States was not fixed upon.
LONDON, Aug. 11.
"Though nothing has yet transpired with respect to the terms of the peace between Russia and France; yet they are reported to be nearly as follows."

The Russians to evacuate Cattarro, and separate themselves from the Montenegrins. The French to evacuate Ragusa, which shall again be placed under the protection of the Porte. The Porte guaranteed in the integrity of its dominions. France promises within a certain time the evacuation of Cattarro, to withdraw her troops from Germany. Russia to use her good offices to restore peace between England and France, and to accommodate the differences between Prussia and Sweden. It is said with respect to the king who, if the above sketch be correct, is left to his fate!
The new act of confederation was received by the Arch Chancellor on the 24th, and was immediately to be laid before the Diet. In the mean time the French troops are taking positions for the purpose of preventing all opposition to the execution of the act of confederacy. A great camp is to be formed near Ratisbon, and Germany will not be evacuated till the work of re-arrangement, by which so many members of the empire are to throw off all allegiance to the head of the empire, has been consummated.
It has been agreed between the Austrian government and the French ambassador, that nothing further shall be done with respect to Cattaro till the arrival of a declaration from Paris. Cattaro is in the hands of the Montenegrins, who are represented as increasing in force, and laying waste the whole country with fire and sword. The French are represented as being shut up in Ragusa, but the accounts received by the Paris papers, which arrived on Friday, are of a later date than those brought by the mails.
August 12.
The intelligence of peace having been signed with Russia, was received with the greatest surprise in every part of Germany, for the movements which the troops had begun to make seemed rather to announce preparations for war—we can hardly believe that the sketch of the terms of the treaty brought by the mails yesterday, was correct: some of the principal stipulations seem to have been omitted. It is obvious, however, that Germany has been abandoned to her fate, and that Bonaparte is to parcel it out, and new cast and model it according to his pleasure.
August 13.
The descent upon the coast of Calabria is mentioned in a letter from Naples of the 11th inst. Instead of 10,000 British troops having landed, there were only a few troops with 600 galley slaves. They landed on the 4th, but returned soon to their ships, compelled, as the latter says, by Gen. Verdier to embark. It is probable that they meant merely to make a diversion, in which they succeeded. The French, it is obvious, had no victory to boast of.
August 14.
Earl St. Vincent has left the Channel fleet, and sailed to the southward in the Hibernia, with the Defiance and some smaller ships. He will first proceed to Lisbon, but we can hardly believe for the purpose mentioned a day or two ago, of taking on board the prince of Brazil. He would not desert his kingdom till the last extremity. But the Lisbon mail which arrived this morning, justifies us in entertaining a suspicion that some expedition is intended against Portugal. This is understood to be one of the menaces which Bonaparte holds out against this country in order to induce us to subscribe to certain terms.
The anxiously expected messenger is at length arrived. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Vestal frigate came into Deal, and landed Mr. Basilico with dispatches from the earl of Lauderdale, who immediately set off for town, where he arrived at Mr. Fox's office about two o'clock this morning.
A cabinet council was held upon the dispatches this morning, and it is said that a messenger is to be dispatched to Paris this evening. Of the nature of the dispatches we cannot be supposed to be informed. It is natural however to believe that they are of the highest importance. It is rumored that lord Lauderdale reached Paris on Tuesday morning, having remained some hours at Amiens to take a little rest. Upon his arrival at Paris, he immediately announced his arrival to M. Talleyrand, and had a long conference with the earl of Yarmouth. We believe he proceeded as soon as he reached Paris to the hotel where lord Yarmouth resides, which is said to be the Hotel des Etrangeres , upon the Boulevards .
The following is said the cause of his lordship having delayed dispatching Basilico for so many days after his arrival. As we have already mentioned, lord Lauderdale, immediately upon reaching Paris, announced his arrival to Talleyrand, who is rumored to have returned for answer "that business which could not be deferred, would occupy his whole time for two or three days, during which he could not have the pleasure of seeing his lordship." It is reported, how truly we know not, that he had no interview with Talleyrand before Saturday or Sunday.
The arrival of the messenger has produced a rise in the funds. Omnim has risen about 1-4 per cent. a rise not sufficiently great to warrant an inference that the dispatches are decisively favorable. As there had been a report that lord Lauderdale was on his return the rise may be attributed principally, if not wholly, to the knowledge that that rumor is untrue; and that his lordship remains at Paris.

ENGLAND & AMERICA.
The lord mayor gave yesterday a splendid entertainment to the lord chancellor and others of the cabinet ministers, in honor of his excellency the hon. David Erskine, the minister proceeding from England to America. There were present on this occasion—
The lord chancellor, earl Spencer, lord Ellesborough, Mr. Windham, srs S. Cotterell, W. Curtis and Charles Price, Mr. Barclay, Mr. Combe, Mr. Munro, Mr. Pinckney, general Lyman, the honorable H. Erskine, Mr. Harris, and Mr. Wilson, the lord chancellor's solicitor.
After dinner the following toasts were drank:
The king, and God bless him. The queen, and royal family. The prince and his royal brothers, and thanks to them for the honour they have done the city in the present mayoralty by their presence."
The American ministers present, Mr. Munroe, Mr. Pinckney, and general Lyman, and may there be perpetual harmony between the two countries.
Mr. Munroe begged leave to return thanks for the honor which had been done him, which he did not estimate so much personally, as with regard to his country. There existed a thousand reasons, he said, which made it desirable for him to promote a becoming feeling of good will between Great Britain and America; but he must be considered a true and faithful servant of his republic, yet no personal exertions on his part should be wanting to preserve that cordiality which was so essential to the interests of the two countries; and he begged leave to drink all their good healths.
Mr. Pinckney observed, that he accorded perfectly in the sentiments that had been expressed by his colleague, and that no endeavors on his part should be wanting to promote the good understanding which ought ever to subsist between Great Britain and America.
The next toast was The lord chancellor of England, and may the name of Erskine and the trial by jury ever be united."
The lord chancellor returned thanks. He said, he felt it to be the highest honor that he could enjoy, to have his health drank and introduced in the manner it had been at the head quarters of the city of London, a city where he has many opportunities of using the talents which he possessed in support of that law which was the admiration of the world and which was so nobly executed by his noble and learned friend present, whose health he would take the liberty of proposing.
The health of lord Ellesborough having been drank,
His lordship thanked the company for the honor they had done him so much beyond his deserts.
The 2d. or Queen's dragoons have been suddenly ordered to embark for foreign service. They arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday by forced marches, and are to embark, it is said dismounted, on board the Malta 84, and some large coppered transports hourly expected from the eastern ports.
Orders are also arrived for a company of the royal artillery from Dock barracks, to embark on board the Malta, now in Cawsand bay. The accounts in circulation of the destination of these troops are various and contradictory; by some it is asserted they are destined for Lisbon, others for the Cape or Sicily.
At the council held yesterday at the queen house parliament was further prorogued from the 28th instant to the 9th of October. But this parliament will, it is re-
ported, never meet again. A dissolution is said to be intended in September.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 6.
The prospect of peace is daily lessening. Basilico, the anxiously expected messenger from Paris, with dispatches from the earl of Lauderdale, arrived at Mr. Fox's office on the morning of the 14th. All that has transpired respecting these dispatches is contained in the following articles from the Courier of the 15th.
The cabinet council yesterday was held at one o'clock, and sat till three. It was attended by lord Grenville, the lord chancellor, earl Spencer, lord Howick, lord Sidmouth, lord Henry Petty, Mr. Windham and the other cabinet ministers in town, with the exception of Mr. Fox.—As soon as it was broke up, Basilico was ordered to be in readiness to return to Paris. He set off at half past ten last night. He was not more, it is said, than forty-eight hours from Paris, having left that capital on Tuesday morning, and not on Monday as was reported yesterday.
Never perhaps was there a more extraordinary day than yesterday upon the stock Exchange. Before the opening of the doors, the crowd of brokers was great in the courts and avenues leading to it. The first price of omnium was 9 1-2. It rose upon the idea that Basilico had brought favorable dispatches to 10 1-2, 3 4, and even 11. It fluctuated for some time between 10 3/4 and 11. At length, between one and two, not withstanding the wonderful secrecy we hear so much about, some of the brokers, who are looked up to as the best informed, and who were the first to purchase at the commencement of the correspondence with France, came into the market and sold largely. The Bulls or buyers were in an instant chop-fallen. Those who, a moment before, were all life and spirits, confident of a rise, sunk into gloom and despondence. When the well-informed brokers offered their Omnium for sale, few would buy till omnium had experienced a depression of two or three per cent. From 10, Omnium fell at once to 7 3-4. Fresh sellers came in—the panic increased, and Omnium fell to 5 3-4, and Consols to 62. They recovered a little, and left off at 62 1-4 the latter, and 6 1-4 the former.
This morning they opened a little better; Consols were at 62 5-8, and one bargain was done, we hear, in Omnium, at 8; but it declined afterwards to 7 1-2, 6 3-4, and 6 1-2, at which price it was when our accounts left the city.
A variety of rumors, none of them favorable to peace, were in circulation yesterday. The BEARS or sellers were completely by "the lords of the ascendant." We believe we were correct in asserting, that Talleyrand, under pretence of more important business (as if there could be any other business of more importance) evaded seeing lord Lauderdale for some days after his arrival. It was not till Saturday or Sunday that his lordship is said to have had his first interview. On Monday he had another interview. The answer to his dispatches is rumored to be decisive. It will bring the business to a very speedy decision; perhaps the next dispatches will bring the decision. There is a report that Russia and France co-operate to resist our right of search. Other rumors in circulation stated, that a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, had been concluded between Russia and France; that lord Levison Gower, who arrived yesterday, had brought very unfavorable intelligence with respect to the sentiments of the new Russian ministry towards this country. It was said too that the revival of a maritime confederacy in the north was not unlikely; that lord Lauderdale might be expected back in a few days, &c. Upon these reports, we cannot, of course, pronounce with any certainty. It was generally believed, however, that the negotiation was in a very unfavorable state; that France had evinced a disposition to protract, and that we were determined not to be the dupes of such a policy, but to order lord Lauderdale to quit Paris directly, if he should discover that the enemy were resolved to persist in such a disposition.
