LONDON, December 4.
THE WAR WITH RUSSIA.
We are not of the same opinion with those who assert that the war with Russia does not increase the difficulties of our situation. It
has been used upon this subject which does appear to us to be a most curious one. With one and the same breath we are told, first, that nothing but the virtuous indignation of Russia against us for attacking Denmark, has made her declare war; and, secondly, that she has been lured and dazzled by the prospect of great advantages, by the prospect of opening a way from the Euxine and Caspian seas into the heart of our dominions of India—a project which the Russian prime minister has always had at heart. Into the practicability of this project, we shall not now enter; a march of two thousand miles, over deserts and mountains, appears no doubt perfectly easy to the admirers of Bonaparte. Really it is curious to see, what a vast range and compass of mind, what a long sight some men have when objects and prospects hostile and injurious to their country, are to be viewed, however distant and remote.
A war with Russia is no sooner rendered certain, than their eye glances from the Euxine to the Ganges, beholds our Indian empire reduced, the Russian power extended to the Indian ocean, and a second Alexander on the banks of the Euphrates. Place before the same men, a less distant object, a prospect favorable to their own country, a probability that these hostile designs of the enemy may speedily end in discomfiture and disgrace, they immediately become short-sighted, the object is indistinctly seen, they can scarcely discern it at all.
For our own parts, many are the difficulties of our situation, we cannot avoid contemplating it but with a feeling of pride—it affords a proof of the greatness of our power; and in the very magnitude and extent of the confederacy against us, the continent pays a tribute to the splendor and dignity of our character, and the energy and vastness of our means—fresh tributes to us, we trust it is yet doomed to pay—and history we predict will have to record that we encountered almost unexampled difficulties, with unequalled constancy—that we came with glory out of a contest with the most formidable confederacy ever formed, and that we gave additional lustre to the fame, and additional strength and stability to the privileges we inherited from our forefathers. [Courier.]
It was rumored yesterday, that some of the grandees of Spain, most obnoxious to the Prince of Peace, have been taken off; among them are mentioned the duke Medina Celi, the duke l'Infantado, and the marquis de las Amirallas. The former has been uniformly considered the premier grandee in Spain, and the richest landed proprietor in the country. His family have, indeed, pretensions to the Spanish crown, and have been always understood to enter their protest at each coronation, in order to reserve their right. Perhaps these pretensions, combined with the known power and influence of this nobleman, who could raise 40,000 men on his own estates, have formed the principal cause of his executioners jealousy. The duke l'Infantado, and the marquis de las Amirallas, were also possessed of great property and influence. Both were general officers in the Spanish army, and had acquired just distinction by their skill and valor in Catalonia, during the war against revolutionary France. They were of course likely to be formidable enemies, therefore they may have been set aside. The duke l'Infantado was quite in the vigor of youth, and generally known to possess a very energetic and enterprising mind, animated by the purest patriotism.
GLASGOW, December 1
The following important intelligence, contradicting the article in yesterday's Edinburgh papers relating to Sweden, has been very politely handed to us by a gentleman in town, whose correspondent mentions, that he got it from the master of the lugger, and that it may be relied on as authentic:
EDINBURGH, November 8. This morning at nine o'clock, Mr. Pierpoint, British ambassador at the court of Sweden, landed from a lugger at Leith, under a salute of 15 guns, after a passage of 11 days from Helsingburg, & immediately set off for London; he was succeeded in his embassy by Mr. Bathurst; every was tranquil when he sailed from Helsingburg, and the king was then there. Three convoys from the Baltic, bound to Britain, consisting of about 100 sail, were lying in that port; the lugger by contrary winds, had put into Marstrand, by which gate, eight of the homeward bound vessels were also put back, and one small brig, name unknown lost.
Printing in all its various branches handsomely executed at this office.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, January 22.
A message was received from the senate informing that they would at 12 o'clock, attend the funeral of Ezra Darby, esq.
A bill was received from the senate to revive and continue in force the 9th section of an act entitled "an act to ascertain and fix in the military establishment of the United States, and to extend the provisions thereof."
The senate also informed the house that they passed the bill making appropriations for the support of government during the year 1808.
The house then adjourned in order to attend the funeral of Mr. Ezra Darby, late a representative from the state of New Jersey.
Monday, February 1.
Several private petitions were presented and referred.
Mr. George Clinton, a member from the state of New York, appeared and took his seat.
Mr. Boyle, from the committee on public lands, reported a bill extending the time for issuing and locating military land warrants.
Twice read and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Southard presented the petition of a number of inhabitants of Bergen county, New Jersey, praying for the erection of a port of entry at the town of Jersey. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Rhea (T.) from the committee on the subject, reported a bill authorising the establishment of certain post roads. Read twice and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Holmes reported a bill for the relief of the legal representatives of Thomas Barclay, deceased.
Read twice and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Nelson obtained leave of absence for ten days.
The engrossed bill for the support of the navy of the United States, for the year 1808, was read a third time and passed.
An engrossed bill to erect a light house on Point Judith, in the state of Rhode Island, was read a third time and passed.
On motion of Mr. Basset, the house took up the report of the committee of the whole on the standing rules and orders of the house.
An amendment made to the rules in committee of the whole, for admitting heads of departments and foreign ministers as well as members of the other branch of the legislature being under consideration, a long and desultory debate ensued, in which some gentlemen contended for the admission of ladies, in the course of which much pleasantry was displayed. It was contended by the advocates of the amendment that in "this magnificently inconvenient apartment" it was next to impossible to hear in the galleries; and that foreign ministers should be admitted to a hearing from courtesy, and because it had been a rule heretofore, and should not at this time be varied. It was objected to by the opponents that in the present situation of affairs it was indelicate in foreign ministers to hear debates in the house, for in a discussion affecting our relations with England, France or Spain, a member could not speak without offending their feelings, nor could a foreign minister or agent listen without having their feelings wounded; and also that foreign ministers to this country, should not enjoy greater privileges than our ministers to those powers.
Mr. Nicholas called for a division of the question, taking it first on admitting heads of departments; and the question having been so taken, there was for admitting them, 51 to 40.
A motion having been made by Mr. Eppes to take the question on admitting foreign ministers by yeas and nays, & some difficulty arising on the point of order whether a question could be taken by yeas and nays on a motion thus divided; and some discussion arising.
Mr. Rowan moved to postpone the consideration on the subject.
And after discussion a motion to adjourn was carried before a question was taken.
Tuesday, February 2.
Mr. Durell moved the following resolution, which was agreed to. Ayes 62.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the manner in which the representative hall is heated by the furnaces beneath the flooring of the same; what probable influence such subjacent fires have upon the health of the members exposed to
their exhalations; and how, or by what means the injurious effects of the same may in future be avoided—and that the report to this house the result of such enquiries.
A communication was received from the secretary of the treasury, inclosing an account of the imports into the United States during the year ending 30th September 1806; which was referred to the committee of ways and means.
Mr. Newton, from the committee on commerce and manufactures, reported a bill authorising the issuing debentures in certain cases. Twice read and referred to a committee of the whole.
[This bill contemplates the placing discretionary power in the hands of the controller of the treasury, to issue debentures in those cases in which the yellow law prevailing in the port, omission or negligence of custom house officers, or sickness in the parties, have caused an omission of the formalities necessary by law to be observed for obtaining drawbacks.]
Mr. Sloan, after a few preliminary observations, offered the following resolution, which was agreed to be considered, p. 68, nays 47.
Resolved, That it is expedient and the public good requires, that the seat of government be removed to the city of Philadelphia for 10 years, and that a committee be appointed to bring in a bill for that purpose.
Mr. Lewis moved an indefinite postponement of the resolution, and on this motion a debate ensued which occupied the remainder of the sitting, in which Messrs. Sloan, Gardenier and Milnor supported the resolution, and of course opposed the indefinite postponement, and Messrs. Lewis, Lyon, Macon, Lewis and Key opposed the resolution and advocated the indefinite postponement; and the house adjourned without taking the question.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5.
The sloop Diana, Newman, belonging to Alexandria, on her homeward passage from the Havanna to Alexandria, with a cargo of sugar and molasses, was on the night of the 24th ult. cast away on Cape Henry, where the vessel and cargo were totally lost, and every person on board perished except Mr. MATTEN, the owner, who arrived at Norfolk.
The news of the embargo was received at Point Petre, Guadalupe, on the 5th January, by a vessel in 10 days from New York.
A letter from a member of Congress to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Jan. 27, says, that it is understood, from authority of the highest respectability, that our differences with England will be honorably adjusted, without the necessity of resorting to war; and that the embargo will be taken off immediately on agreeing to a treaty with England.
Extract of a letter from Lancaster dated January 28.
The governor sent to-day a long message containing a vindication of his conduct against the charges exhibited in the articles of impeachment. It is well written. A motion was made that it should be inserted on the Journals, which was opposed by Leib and co. but was carried 43 to 42. It was then resolved that the report of last year, together with the evidence, should also be inserted on the journals.
Letters from Washington, afford a hope that the application of our merchants to Congress, respecting Debentures, will receive that attention, which justice and policy should dictate. The removal of Congress to Philadelphia is a subject of very general conversation—and a great many members from every part of the union, are decidedly in favor of a removal.
FROM THE U. S. GAZETTE.
From Washington City Jan. 25.
It was currently reported to-day in the house of representatives, that Mr. Rose's instructions extend only to a compromise concerning the affair of the Chesapeake frigate. From the observations of Mr. Nicholas and others in debate, it may be inferred that at head quarters the present prospect is not esteemed flattering and that considerable uneasiness prevails. Mr. Nicholas speaks but seldom; but I have been assured by respectable friends of the administration, that he possesses more influence in the house than any other man. At the time of his election it was reported, that Mr. T. M. Randolph, who is Mr. Jefferson's son-in-law, resigned purposely to make way for him, and that he was to lead the democratic party in opposition to Mr. Randolph. Early in the session Mr. R. in debate pronounced Mr. N. the oracular organ of the majority. There is no man in the house whose opinions may, in certain cases, be more relied on, as correct indices of facts and wishes known only to the administration. Mr. N's. tone in debate, to-day was a war tone. He was solicitous for efficient measures of defence, and conceived that an adequate preparation for war was the only way to preserve peace. From the language of the friends of the administration both in the house and in private, it would seem that the prospect of peace is not so flattering as it was some days ago. But every thing is uncertain. I believe the president knows little more of our future fortune than any other man, except so far as it is connected with his own wishes and opinions. Apropos of the future prince regent of America. When Mr. Randolph in conclave asked who knows but the prince regent of the future king of America now pulling in his nurses arms (young Jerome Bonaparte at Baltimore) is within these walls, he is supposed to have referred, not to a senator, but to an influential member of the house of representatives.
Mr. Crowninshield is still dangerously sick. Last night he had a fresh hemorrhage of blood from the lungs.
Mr. Cooke has so far recovered his health as to resume his seat in the house.
A letter received by a mercantile house from their correspondents abroad informs that tobacco is 20s at Cadiz, and 16s at Amsterdam and rising. In Virginia it may be purchased at 20s.
Another letter mentions that Berbica and off of France cotton is selling for 39 cents at 42 and rising. Here it may be bought for cents and dull at that.
The situation of American Merchants then precisely that of Tantalus.
N. Y. Ev. Post.
The number of American seamen thrown out of employ by the embargo, has been so great, as to occasion, in some of the sea-port towns, serious apprehensions of disturbances from this class of our citizens. In Boston, a
procession of about 400 sailors was formed (at the instigation of characters who wished to cast an obloquy on the embargo measure) which moved on to the residence of the governor—the sailors demanded employment or bread. By the prudence and dignified deportment of governor Sullivan, they all dispersed and retired peaceably to their homes. In New York too a meeting of the sailors, to the number of 2 or 300, was held in the Park, and apprehensions being entertained of a riot, and after explaining the impropriety of their conduct, and assuring them that measures would be taken for their relief, desired them to disperse and behave as good citizens; which request was immediately complied with. The corporation has since found employment for them in the U. S. navy-yard, and appropriated 1000 dollars for their immediate relief. In Philadelphia a large number of seamen paraded with the flag of the United States to the city hall, and a committee waited on the mayor. He informed them that it was not in his power to grant relief, adding with becoming firmness, that the assembly was an improper one, and ordered the flag to be taken down—to this order they paid implicit obedience. He then addressed the meeting, and informed them that the chamber of commerce had taken their case into consideration and a committee appointed to afford them relief. The honest tars gave three cheers and departed.
From the N. Y. Evening Post.
CAUSE OF THE EMBARGO.
The Jeffersonian print of this city (the N. York Aurora) has, in Friday's paper, made no scruple to avow, that it is against England and not against France this measure is intended. The following are extracts.
The conduct of Britain has driven us to our last and only expedient, an embargo, which the British apologists so unfeignedly laments, because he is conscious it is a measure that will bring the nose of England to the grindstone, and make the British ministry sensible of their injustice towards this country.
An embargo is no trifling thing—and that power must have committed serious interpolations indeed when they oblige another power to have recourse to such an expedient, as a mean against further encroachments.
The conduct of the British cabinet to our own honour as an independent power, loudly call on us to assume, a prompt and dignified attitude, as an evidence to those nations whose eyes were fixed on us, as astonished at our forbearance, when they knew we were aware that the means of coercing contemptuous treatment from any quarter was in our own hands. As a proof of what we could do, Congress placed an embargo on our ports. Should it effect England more than France, let her look to it, for she was the cause and not France.
Cockpit, Whitehall, Nov. 19.
Before the most noble and right honorable the Lords commissioners of appeals in prize causes:
The WELLS, Lampson, master.—This vessel, under American colors, with a cargo of sugar, coffee, tobacco and staves, on a voyage from Salem to Marseilles, was captured on the 9th of September, 1805, by his majesty's ship Naftad, Thomas Dundas, Esq. commander, and carried to Gibraltar, where the usual proceedings were instituted. It appeared that the judge of the vice admiralty court restored the ship and salvagers of the master, mate and seamen, and also 5521 pipe staves, and 14 hogsheads of tobacco, and condemned the remainder of the goods; from which part of the sentence the claimants appealed.—Their Lordships affirmed the sentence of the court below.
AURORA, Hall, master.—This American vessel with 45,000 dollars on board, and also wine, oil and other articles (adventures of the master and supercargo) was captured on the 5th October, 1805, by his majesty's ship Phoebe, the Hon. T. Sladen Cappel, Esquire, commander, in sight of his majesty's ship Weazel, Peter Parker, Esq. commander, and carried into Gibraltar. When the case came on for hearing, it appeared that the court below restored the ship and private adventures but condemned the specie—from which condemnation the claimants prosecuted an appeal. In this case their Lordships pronounced for the appellants and restored the property as claimed, on payment of the captors expenses in both courts.
WASHINGTON, Iorde, master.—This vessel, in ballast, from St. Jago de Cuba, to Baltimore, was, on the 9th of October, 1805, captured by his majesty's ship of war Franchise, Randal McDonald, Esq. commander, and carried to the island of Jamaica, where a libel was filed against her. In this case their Lordships pronounced for the appeal, and required further proof to be produced.
MOHAWK, Peck, master.—This American, with a cargo of sugar and flour, on a return voyage from Martinique to New-York, was captured on the 7th April, 1806, by his majesty's ship of war Henrexu. Geo. Young-husband esq. commander, and carried to Tortola, was there proceeded against; and
the ship and cargo condemned to the captors, and the master's private adventure was restored; from which sentence two appeals were presented by the captors and claimants. In this case their lordships pronounced the ship and cargo to belong as claimed, and decreed the claimants expenses to be paid by the captors.
DUBLIN, November 21.
Dreadful Storm.—A considerable portion of our paper having been worked before we collected the accurate accounts of the dreadful disasters of Thursday night, we are induced to give our readers the following recapitulation, along with such additional facts as have subsequently come to our knowledge.
Correspondent.
On Wednesday morning two large transports, and the Prince of Wales, Captain Edwards, sailed from Dublin harbor having on board the 97th regiment, and a number of volunteers from the South Cork and South Mayo regiments of Militia. On Thursday morning they were perceived working about the bay, and endeavoring to stand into the harbor, when the heaviest fall of sleet and snow perhaps ever remembered, shut in, prematurely, that eventful day to the hapless and unfortunate passengers. As the evening came on the gale increased, and several signals were fired from the vessel in the offing, but the state of the weather was tremendous, and no possible assistance from the shore could be afforded. The first misfortune, it appears, happened to the Prince of Wales, who about 11 o'clock at night struck on the rocks under the battery at Dunlary point, and went to the bottom, with 120 souls on board, mostly recruits for the 18th regiment, in the care of lieutenant MacLane of that corps, who shared the same fate of his brother soldiers. The captain, it is said, some of the crew and two officers have been preserved, by taking to the boat the instant she struck, which was on the point immediately opposite to Sir John Lee's house at Sea-Point.
The second in this melancholy list, appears to have been the Rochdale transport, of Liverpool, on board of which, we believe, was the staff of the 97th regiment. Tho' she had been observed in the offing as late on Wednesday evening as the thickness of the weather suffered her to be seen, no anticipation of her unfortunate fate appears to have excited more than usual apprehension; but yesterday morning exhibited her along side the tower a complete wreck—her bottom bilged, and the sea making a free passage over her. On board of this ill-fated vessel, we regret to state, there were no less than two hundred and sixty-five (some accounts add two more) all of whom were swallowed up by the merciless element! The embarkation return is, as we understand, as follows, viz.—
One major, two lieutenants, one ensign, 8 serjeants, 9 corporals, 173 rank and file, 42 women, and 29 children!!! Not one individual of whom have escaped! Among the officers last, we have to lament major O'Gormogen, lieutenants Long and Power, and ensign Way. Mrs. O'Gormogen, a beautiful and interesting woman, it is said, was also on board, and shared the fate of her beloved husband.
The shores in the neighborhood of Seapoint house present a scene of the most horrid and revolting kind. Human bodies of both sexes from mature age to infancy. The bodies of major O'Gormogen and his lady, we are informed, have been washed on shore.
The broken fragments of trunks, wearing apparel, arms, provisions, naval wrecks &c. &c. which accompany them, form altogether perhaps as dreadful a scene as ever has been contemplated by human nature.
A collier on the same night went down between Dunleary and the South Ball, and every soul perished. A trader, belonging to a reputable broker of this city, is also said to have encountered a similar misfortune, which has been no less fatal; and this day, we are sorry to state, that there is too much reason to fear that a Liverpool packet has met the same fate, as a vessel answering her description has been seen off Bray, with her bottom uppermost.
The following additional particulars have been just communicated to us.
On Wednesday about 2 o'clock the Prince of Wales, packet, of Parkgate, sailed from the Pigeon house for Liverpool, with nine cabin passengers, officers, and about 120 men. On Thursday they got about 6 leagues off, when the storm which arose on the night of Wednesday forced them back, when at the Man of War roads they cast all their anchors, which had no effect, they then spoke the Rochdale which sailed in company with them, and about 5 o'clock on Thursday evening last, the crew consisting of the master whose name is Robert Jones, nine seamen, two soldiers, two sailors, passengers, a woman and child, took to the long boat, when the vessel struck off sir John Lee's, at the Black Rock. The people who took to the boat, we are happy to hear got safe to a Mr. George's in the Black-rock, whose concerns reach the sea.
The following are amongst the officers lost in this packet:
Captain Fitzgerald, of the 6th regiment of foot; captain Gregory, 32 do, ensign Bevon, 10th do. lieutenant James Foley, 38th do;
lieut Killikelly, 3d do. and lieutenant McLean, 18th do.
There are about 60 bodies driven on shore—one officer of the 97th is amongst the number found—the hull of the Rochdale is cleared out, where the principal number of the bodies are lying in a most mangled state.
A large guard of military are stationed along the coast to protect the bodies, property, &c. driven on shore.
There were also near twenty officers of different regiments who had been in Ireland receiving volunteers from the militia on board the Rochdale, whose names do not appear.
