Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAW. 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. Westmoreland County, Vir. } 20 dtf 14th September. }

THOUGHTS AND REFLECTIONS ON THE PRESENT STATE OF AFFAIRS.
No. V.
There is nothing more obvious, or was maturely considered than this formidable truth; if France should triumph over G. Britain, American liberty will be in peril. It remains to be seen, which, in the opinion of our rulers, is most worthy of preservation, that liberty or their own popularity. If they choose to keep the country defenceless, and to permit the people to be careless because they are yet blind to their danger, they may continue to enjoy their political sport, like children at play on a precipice, till the foundation of their power slides from under their feet. For nothing is more certain that if Bonaparte prevails against England, and Mr. Jefferson prevails much longer against our having any efficacious system of national defence, the French emperor will be our master if he chooses. But Bonaparte has said, and it is possible our rulers may affect to believe, that France is satisfied with her ample dominion, that, weary and exhausted by war, she seeks only to establish the more glorious and universal empire of the arts, and when she is no longer embarrassed in her beneficent designs by an obstinate and jealous antagonist, the world will then begin to enjoy peace without a disturber of its blessings.
Is this, however, the nature of ambition? Is it an appetite that is choked and cloyed or made ravenous by its gluttony? A creation only once in six days would not be made fast enough to keep pace with the growth of its desires. The whole world is not wide enough to keep pace with the growth of its desires.
Ambition contented with its limits!! Have we seen the ocean so full that it would not drink up another river? Inquire of the winds whether the last storm has crippled their speed that they will never blow again. Ask of the pestilence, whether, weary of havoc, its iron heart relents to tread once more its circle of destruction. Yet six months of the possession of the British navy by France, the ocean would swell beyond the Allegany ridge, that tempest would scatter blight and mildew over all our plains, that pestilence would cramp every heart with terror and spot every honest face with contagion. We should see the temple of our liberty in ashes or in sackcloth, and if we did not loathe life, it would be because we could endure to drag it on in servitude and disgrace.
Who then will say that Bonaparte would not desire the empire of America, or who that has not a slave's heart already, could view with any calmness the almost irresistible means he possesses of to obtain it, and to obtain it without striking a blow? We have men among us who would view it with complacency, if not joy, when whom liberty could not elevate, and whom the whip of the oppressor would not degrade.
Shall we be told that if Bonaparte possessed the British navy he could not govern this country if he would? Has he not governed it without that navy? What is there to oppose his will? Have we at Washington a Roman senate, who, if the French Hannibal should land here, would make an auction of his camp? Is it conceivable that they should have the courage to resist, who have not the courage to prepare the means of resistance. Would those men resolve to face his legions who have quaked at his minion's frowns?
Suppose however that peace ensues, that Great Britain retires with shame and defeat from the contest, leaving Bonaparte master of Europe, and solely anxious to be her master, can we doubt whether his first care would be to strip her of the means and especially of the naval and commercial means of ever renewing the contest. Would his victorious peace make his influence less in America, and need it be greater here than it is already for securing his success. What success could be more inviting or important than to cut off by a stroke of the pen, all intercourse whatever between the United States and Great Britain. Mr. Jefferson says the farmers are God's chosen people, if ever he had a chosen people, and that we have land enough to supply the thousandth generation of our posterity. The reasons, the pretext and the motives, are thus avowed, and the act prohibiting British manufactures after November next, is a precedent more than sufficient for a beginning of hostile acts of congress against the British trade. What has Bonaparte to do more than to urge his tractable friends to permit that act to go into operation, and as it would be found in need of stronger acts to enforce it, who is here that would dare to oppose with effect the vindictive statutes that the perverseness of the British govern-
ment will be alleged to require. The French emperor sees round France, states that dare not disobey him. Yet he calls them independent, and has gone no further with them than to require the prohibition of British manufactures. We seem already to have chosen the ignominy that they endure by constraint.
Who will doubt that if the baffled and humbled England were at peace to-morrow, our measures would be most obnoxiously framed as general Turreau might be instructed to suggest them to Mr. Madison.
Surely we know enough of the French character to expect that she will accomplish every thing she possibly can by her policy. Her arms will not be used, nor even shown unseasonably. Until her friendly and unfelt domination can be allowed to take root, till we lose the idea that we are any thing, and become quite familiar to the contemplation of the power of France as every thing, and especially while Britain may be allowed to keep any remnant of her greatness, would the cunning of Bonaparte permit him to ask for more in America than he can quietly obtain by influence? And what more could he desire, than congress is already in the train of conceding? Thus he would girdle the British oak, and leave the sapless trunk to perish by gradual rottenness. We should thus help France more than if we joined her in the war.
It was thus old Rome called states her allies till they grew tame in the yoke, and then she erected them into provinces.
It is certain that we could not resist her influence—it is certain that we could not endure it and be free.
What is to be done? The answer is, nothing. Nothing, while we have rulers of a character fitter to have power as prefects, when we are subjugated, than to call forth the energies of a great people to preserve their independence. Rulers who will not arm one ship, but will probably yet lade ten with tribute, and who will never think of any other way to disarm a conqueror than submission.
If Washington were at the head of affairs we might hope that we should provide against danger, as other nations do by preparing force and treasure—that we should study economy, but not be afraid of necessary expense, that we should not provoke a war with France, but on the contrary do every thing that honor would permit to avoid it; still, however, believing that the surest way to preserve peace is to respect justice, and to make adequate preparation for war. We are well aware how prompt the flatterers of the administration will be to misrepresent these sentiments. If there is really no danger, and would to heaven that it could be made to appear, let these remarks pass for unreasonable. Well intended they certainly are. But if there is danger, and its approach be no farther off than a peace between France and Great Britain, which very possibly is already concluded, then let those flatterers tell the people, independence has its price, and expence, and ships, and arms would go beyond it—tell them slavery is cheaper and will give them rest.
We will only add, this country might be safe if it could be wise. If it could resist the influence of France it might baffle her arms.
NOTE—No. 4. ought to have appeared next after No. 2, as it was written to explain that last mentioned.
From the Boston Repertory.
PEACE.
By the latest arrivals, the re-establishment of peace between Russia and France is confirmed, and the immediate approach of an accommodation between England and France rendered almost certain. This news, so grateful in sound to the first impressions of humanity, will carry gloom and dismay to the heart of every American, who is not indifferent to the imminent danger with which such an event would threaten this exposed, defenceless, hated country.
If peace be actually settled between France and England, there is too much reason to say to those who have never considered our political existence in jeopardy, and we mean no light or profane allusion, SLEEP ON NOW, FOR THE DIE IS CAST, and we are left, weak, spiritless, and unpitied and unbefriended to the mercy of a triumphant despot, who has prostrated the independence of almost every nation in Europe.
AMERICANS, if you are not appalled by a first glance of the terrors which menace your national existence, look at your situation; stare it in the face, that foreign tyranny may not surprise you when it actually comes. ENGLAND AT PEACE WITH FRANCE!! France holding in subjection, and as completely at her command as her own provinces, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, Prussia, and we may add Portugal, and other minor powers, now swallowed up and nameless! A fourth part of the navy which Bonaparte could immediately detach from his vassal kingdoms, and from his own, would be sufficient to block up every great port in the union. A tenth part of the blood-hounds whom he has
long employed in demolishing the independence of Europe, and who must now hang as an expensive, useless weight on his government, might cross the Atlantic, no Cochrans nor Sirachans to intervene, and land at Louisiana, where our administration of government has but disappointed and disgusted the inhabitants, & where we have not force enough to repel two regiments. France sent to St. Domingo an army, never missed at home, but much larger than Great Britain ever sent to the United States. Would not such an army, with a few 74's at the mouth of the Mississippi, immediately deprive all our country west of the Alleghany mountains of any commerce with the rest of the world, and make capitulation preferable to resistance.
And what can we expect from such men as the frowns of heaven and our own delusion have placed at the head of our nation! Already, when France was driven from the ocean by a brave and active enemy, she had but to ask and receive pledges of our servility. It was not enough that our citizens, who should trade to Saint Domingo, should be abandoned by their own country, and left to expiate as pirates, for communicating with a rebel country; but our government was imperiously commanded to punish, for France, violations of the laws of nations committed without our jurisdiction, and within the professed jurisdiction of that nation—and the command was instantly obeyed! Spain had injured, abused and insulted us, and grossly trifled with our ambassadors; but France required money, as the only condition on which Spain should be allowed even to tamper longer with us, and two millions were voted the president, for the express purpose of expending them in foreign negotiations. The expectation of peace has, however, opened new prospects to Bonaparte, no accommodation can now be effected, and the boundaries of a territory which our government, in a fit of party rage, purchased without any specified limits, are already on the carpet, the subject of a quarrel with us.
With such an enemy and such a government what shall we do? What can we do? The contemplation is gloomy beyond description. The wretched Jefferson, his policy and his clan of weak headed or wicked politicians must fall; but with their fall the evils which they have invited will not cease. Shall we quietly receive and congratulate pensionaries and prefects among us? Shall we bow to members of the legion of honor, selected from the basest and most treacherous among us, clothed with honors and power as the reward of treason? Or shall we again call up the spirit of '76, and take heaven to witness, WILL WE BE FREE OR PERISH. We have indulged in these reflections, not to cherish despair; but to awaken every brave American to a sense of our situation, and to a serious deliberation on this great question—whether, if England and France have actually made peace, we can maintain our independence against the latter. The great men of our nation will, ere long, be called upon by the exigency of the times. In trouble, the whole people will turn their backs on their empty headed and false hearted demagogues. They will look to their wise men for counsel and their brave men for exertion. Let our sages then become consult and resolve on the course they will recommend. To indulge resentment against a fickle, ungrateful multitude, when love of country and self preservation call to action, would be unworthy of great minds—it is an evil not to be apprehended. In or out of office is of no consequence; the talents of the country will soon be put in requisition, and God grant they may be successfully directed.

A letter received in this city from captain Finkin, and dated the 31st ult. states that the schooner Gipsey from this port had been cut out of Aruba by a French privateer and carried to the city of Santo Domingo, to which place captain Finkin meant to proceed in hopes of recovering his vessel.

BOSTON, September 25.
From Spain.—Captain Shatuck, who arrived here on Wednesday, sailed from Cadiz on the 15th of August. On the 10th, an express came to Cadiz with information of the conclusion of a general peace. It was said, the preliminaries were signed at Paris on the 31st of July. There were 15 sail of the line lying at Cadiz (French and Spanish) ready for sea. A grand feu de joie was fired from the ships and forts soon after the receipt of the news of peace. The people were almost distracted with joy at the intelligence.
It was reported, that the French troops in Naples had made an attempt against Sicily and had been defeated with great loss.
There were no rumors respecting the posture of the American negotiation with Spain. The frigate Constitution had been at Cadiz, but not being admitted to practice, had sailed for Lisbon, as was supposed.
Arrived, Lucy, Shearman, Baltimore; Hero, Baker, ditto; Susan and William, Luce, ditto.
Cleared, Federal George, Field, Baltimore; Mary Ann Luce, Richmond; Sally, Cleaveland, Alexandria.
NEW-YORK, September 27. FROM EUROPE.
Last evening the ship Adriana, from Liverpool, and the factor from Greenock, arrived at this port.
Captain Ricketson having favored the editors of the New York Gazette with Liverpool papers to the 8th ult. they have it in their power to enrich the marine department of this day's paper.
On the subject of peace we have but little—the passengers in the Adriana, however, say that this event was sanguinely expected at Liverpool, at the time of their departure.
The Courier of the evening of the 6th, contains the following paragraph:
"The funds yesterday experienced a considerable depression—and some, supposed to be well informed, sold to a very large amount. The fall was imputed to various causes. Some affirmed that the Moniteur had been received containing a violent attack upon this country—inferences unfavorable to peace were therefore drawn. We attach but little importance to the report. The Moniteur attacked the conduct of Russia with great severity, at the very moment M. D'Oubril was about to sign a separate treaty of peace with France. Another rumor was, that the terms of that treaty are more unfavorable than has been supposed—that they contained no stipulation in favor of Sicily; and that as our ministers had determined not to yield upon that subject, and as Bonaparte had insisted on his brother being put in possession of Sicily, the negotiations between the two countries might be expected to break off immediately. Whether there be any foundation for this rumor we know not. The fall might have been produced by the Bulls or buyers wishing to realize their profits and avoid Bears."

Arrived the ship Adrian , Ricketson, in 33 days from Liverpool. The ships Laura , Hardware , Xenophon , Savage and Eliza , were all ready for New-York, but were delayed.

From the "Sun" of that date, with which the Mercantile Advertiser has been favored, the following articles are copied.

We received this morning New York papers to the 14th July . We are sorry to find that every effort is still used to inflame the public mind in America against this country. We have extracted an article respecting the behavior of an officer of the Cambrian to the crew of an American ship [the Kentucky of Baltimore ] not because we give the slightest credit to the statement, but as a specimen of the intemperate and indecent language which disgraces the American papers.
Two Gottenburgh mails arrived this morning. The following is the only article of intelligence they contain:— Gottenburgh , July 28. Yesterday arrived a Russian courier in nine days from St. Petersburg , with dispatches for the Russian minister in London , as for the English government; he will take his passage in the packet that sails to-day. The Russian army, it appears, are all in cantonments,
ready to be called forth at an hour's warning. A large body of troops is upon the Polish frontier."
The French frigate Le Rhin of 44 guns has shared the fate of La Guerriere ; a telegraphic dispatch was yesterday received at the admiralty, stating that she had arrived at Plymouth a prize to the Mars , captain Oliver .
Yesterday the signal was made for the expedition at Spithead to get under way; but the wind coming round to the westward it was soon after annulled. The vessels that sailed from the Downs have also been obliged to put back in consequence of the wind changing.
Mr. Fox , according to the report of this day, had submitted to the operation of tapping. It is said that four gallons of water were drawn off, and that he felt considerable relief. Earl Moira attends at Mr. Fox's office and transacts business for him.
It is reported that at the grand fete now preparing at Paris , or when a general peace is proclaimed, Bonaparte intends to announce his nomination of several hundreds of his subjects to be dukes, marquisses, counts and barons. Among these will be some of the ancient French nobility. Among the members of his family he has also resolved to revive the titles of duke of Orleans , princes of Conde and Conti , &c. &c.
NASHVILLE, August 30. HORRID MURDER!!
On the evening of the 18th instant, a daughter of the reverend John Record , of Williamson county, about seven years of age, on her return from school, was cruelly murdered by a negro girl, in a branch of water; the particulars of the murder, as far as we can learn, are these: That for some crime she had been corrected, for which she determined to take revenge, for this purpose she waited at the branch for the return of the girl; when she came to the branch, the negro threw her (with her face down) into the water, the negro proving the strongest, held the girl in the water until she was dead. The negro has confessed the deed. On Saturday last, the chairman of the court passed sentence for the negro to be hanged in the vicinity of Franklin , on the 5th day of September next.

Extract of a letter from major Claiborne , private secretary of governor Claiborne , dated New Orleans , August 29, 1806.
"It is now within a few minutes of the time when letters must go to the post office. I have waited to give you some information from Natchitoches , in case any should arrive; but no dispatches are received from governor Claiborne , nor do we hear anything more of the governor of Taxos and his nine hundred men."

"The Spaniards have just passed an order allowing us to navigate the Mobile river. But we are still, as I understand it, to pay 12 per centum on all our exports and on all our imports, and to go ten miles out of our way to Mobile , in order to do this. It was paid on provisions for the troops, just come up. And yet I know it will be trumpeted over the United States by persons residing in the Spanish dominions, that all difficulties are removed by Spain , and that we have now a free trade. We are happy in the belief that the government of the United States will make us befriended."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability at Bordeaux , dated July 30, 1806.
"It appears by a letter from the minister of marine to the commissary of marine for this port, that a treaty of peace between Russia and France was signed at Paris on the 20th of this month. It is also very currently reported, and generally believed, that preliminaries of peace were signed at Paris on the 25th between France and England ; and it is asserted by the authorities here, that the reason we have not had this
intelligence officially at Bordeaux , is that the preliminary treaty remains yet to be ratified by the British minister, to whom it was sent for that purpose on the night of the 25th. I cannot prevail upon myself to credit this news, but finding so many well informed men, both in and out of place, firmly persuaded of it, I have thought proper to communicate it to you. Several thousand troops are now marching through this city on their way to Bayonne , said to be part of a considerable army destined against SPAIN or Portugal ."
Fatal Accident.—In the afternoon of Sunday last, as three or four young men were sailing in the river opposite this village, two of them had a contest (in sport we believe) for the helm; when one of them tumbled overboard, and was instantly drowned, having it is supposed caught a cramp in the struggle, or been hurt by the edge of the boat in falling over. This unfortunate young man was named John Willet , son of Edward Willet , of Albany , cabinet maker.
On Wednesday, the 8th instant, Mr. Joseph Williams , who was engaged in surveying lands on or near the head waters of the Tioga river, had a rifle ball shot through his knapsack, which was on his back, by some assassin who was concealed in the woods. Mr. Williams was in the act of stooping at the time, or he would probably have been killed, as the ball passed within an inch and a half of his back. We understand that numerous threats have been made, and that three companies were at that time ranging the woods, for the express purpose of shooting all surveyors engaged in running lines in that quarter. How long will these people be suffered to set at defiance the laws of this commonwealth? It is now high time that something should be done to protect the lives of our citizens engaged in their lawful pursuits.
NOTICE TO MARINERS. The Light House at Cape Hatteras was so injured by the gale of the 21st instant, that no light for the present can be kept.
Edenton. Sept. 20, 1806. A gentleman who considered himself injured by the Editors of the Western World , met Wood , and told him that he felt disposed to inflict personal chastisement on him at that moment. "Oh!

CAPTURE OF THE FRENCH FRIGATE LA GUERRIERE . In Monday's State man we inserted the admiralty account of the capture of the French frigate La Guerriere , of 50 guns, with a complement of 317 men, by his majesty's ship Blanche . We now feel a pleasure in copying from last night's Gazette , the particulars of an action so honorable to our gallant tars. Indeed they always go to battle confident of victory; and as that confidence is the result of a national consciousness of their own superior skill and courage it animates them to such exertions as seldom fail to command success. In a sharp contest of forty five minutes, the crew of the enemy was sadly reduced by our destructive fire; twenty were killed and thirty wounded, ten of them dangerously; though we had not a man killed and only three wounded, one of them supposed to be in danger. The French ship also as well as her crew suffered very severely, while the damages of the Blanche were confined to the topmasts rigging and sails.
ADMIRALTY OFFICE, July 29. Copy of a letter from the Right Honorable Lord Keith , K. B. Adm. of the White , &c. &c. to William Marsden , esq. dated on board the Edgar , off Ramsgate , 27th July .
Sir, I have the satisfaction of transmitting, for their lordships information a copy of a letter which I have received from captain Lavie , of his majesty's ship, the Blanche , acquainting me with the capture in the latitude of Ferriere islands, of the French frigate La Guerriere , one of the enemy's squadron that has been harassing our ships employed on the Greenland fisheries.
Their lordships will have great pleasure in observing, from the list annexed to captain Lavie's report, that in consequence of his good conduct, this large frigate has
been carried with very little loss on our part, and that he speaks in terms of high commendation of lieutenant Davies and the rest of the Blanche's officers and ship's company.
I have the honor, to be, KEITH, Admiral.
His majesty's ship Blanche , Yarmouth Roads , July 26.
My Lord, I have the honor to acquaint you of my return to Yarmouth Roads , having in company La Guerriere French frigate, commanded by Monsieur Hubert , (of the legion of honor) whom I captured on the 19th instant, in latitude 62 deg. N. off the Ferriere Islands, after a sharp contest of 45 minutes.
La Guerriere is of the largest class of frigates, mounting fifty guns with a complement of 317 men, these were soon sadly reduced by our destructive fire, and the ship also suffered very severely, while the damages of the Blanche are confined to the topmasts, rigging and sails.
It now becomes a pleasing duty to beg you to recommend Lieutenant Henry Thomas Davies to their Lordship's notice, and to speak in terms of respect of his general good conduct, as also of Lieutenants Bastio and Allan ; of Mr. Robertson , the master, and lieutenant John Campbell of the Marines .
The warrant officers, midshipmen and ship's company are likewise entitled to my warmest praise. I have &c. THOMAS LAVIE. The Rt. Hon. Lord Keith , &c. &c.
