CONTINUATION OF Late Foreign Intelligence, From Papers received by the Ship Woodpecker, Captain Haynes, in 30 days from London.
LONDON, October 24.
New York papers, and letters from thence to the 17th ult. were received yesterday. The extracts we have made from the former, if we could suppose they truly represented the feelings of the bulk of the American people, would leave us very faint hopes indeed of the success of Mr. Jackson's mission. It appears that this minister was insulted by the populace, both on his landing and on his way to the seat of government. This outrage, if it really took place (for some of the papers doubt it), was organized and directed by the French or republican faction. The moment it was known that Mr. Jackson was on his passage to America, all the democratic prints began to pour out the most violent abuse against him. In some of these it was recommended that he should not be received by the government of the United States, or at any rate that they should enter into no negotiation with him, until they had obtained an assurance from the British government that whatever arrangements he made would be conclusive.
The American government, however, not deeming it the most advisable course of policy to adopt the passions and suggestions of these true friends of their country, determined to receive Mr. Jackson with all the respect that was due to a foreign minister. The president accordingly, previous to his departure for his country seat, gave orders to secretary Smith, that as soon as he was apprized of the arrival of the British minister, he should repair to Washington to receive him. Mr. Jackson arrived in Hampton Roads the 29th of August, and on the 4th of September Mr. Jackson landed at Annapolis, and proceeded to Washington, where he arrived on the 8th, and on the 11th was received by the secretary of the government as successor to Mr. Erskine.
It was supposed that no great progress would be made in the negotiation until congress met. When the president retired to his country seat, he left orders with his secretary to send for him in case the British minister should deem his presence necessary, or had any important communication to make. As that had not been done, it was concluded that no immediate arrangement was to be expected. Congress was not to meet until November.
Times.
The French, or democratic faction in America, had made every attempt previously to the arrival of Mr. Jackson, to prejudice the public mind against him. They succeeded so far, that, upon his landing, his effigy was burnt, and he was treated with some indignity at Annapolis. The object of this faction being to throw the United States into the arms of France, nothing of course can be more disagreeable to them than the idea of an adjustment of the differences between the United States and Great Britain. It must be confessed, however, that many of the American papers express themselves with the deepest indignity against this treatment of our ambassador. By the government Mr. Jackson was received with the utmost respect. The American secretary of state was directed to repair to the seat of government the moment he heard of the arrival of the minister on the American coast. Mr. Jackson arrived at Washington on the 8th of last month. There is an idea that no progress will be made in the negotiation till the meeting of congress. We do not see upon what ground this supposition rests. The assembling of congress is not necessary either for the purpose of commencing or carrying on a negotiation.
Courier.
The following may be relied on as a correct list of the Spanish ships which are arrived at Cadiz from Ferrol:
Corporacion, 112; Principe Asturias, 112; San Sebastian, 40; San Julian, 64; Venganza, 40; Diana, 40; Esmeralda, 40; Magdalena, 40; Iphigenia, 40; Principe Asturias, 18; Enguadora, 18; Cazador, 18; Descubridor, 18; an armed schooner and a number of gun boats.
Besides these there were fitting for sea in the Arsenal, at Ferrol,
Mexicana, 112; America, 64; Sabina, 40; Casilda, 12.
In Dock, Paliere, 40. Building, Tridente, 80, and Emperadora, 74, the two last have been six years in frame; but could not be completed from the other want of materials in the arsenals. There were also two old line-of-battle ships in the inner basin unserviceable, viz. San Fernando, 80, and Atlas 74.
November 3.
Hamburg papers to the 21st, and Berlin to the 13th ult. reached us yesterday, but their contents of two old a date to throw any light on the terms of the treaty lately concluded between France and Austria. An article from Vienna, dated Oct. 7, in some measure explains the till now unaccounted for delay which took place in the publication of the treaty of peace, after the emperor Francis had accepted Buonaparte's ultimatum on the 27th of September. That article states "that the peace would not be made public until the arrival of the courier from Petersburg, who was expected to bring with him the guarantee of the treaty." Every one will recollect that at the opening of the war, Napoleon's wrath seemed chiefly kindled by the alleged parity of the Austrian emperor, who was stated to have sworn eternal peace and amity to France on the bloody fields of Austerlitz. However unfounded this accusation may be, there is no doubt that Buonaparte has made it a ground for requiring greater sacrifices from Austria, at the same time that he encouraged the humiliation of his conquered enemy, by reproaching him with his breach of faith, and unwilling to trust to his promises, compelled him to have recourse to the mediation and guarantee of Russia. In doing this, Napoleon had three distinct objects in view: First, he sunk his rival in the opinion of his subjects, by causing him to appear as a man in whose honour no confidence could be placed; thus endeavouring to annihilate, with their generation, the love which they still nurtured in their hearts for a fallen monarch, and preparing the future total subjugation of the Austrian empire by the alienation of the popular affection. Secondly, he flattered the pride of Russia, by raising her in the rank of a mediator, and perhaps by with such Londoners of its share in the expected division of the conquered province of Galicia.
Galicia: as she could not think of begging the price of her hire of a man who had testified so high a sense of her dignity, her honour, and her power. Thirdly, he secured the future co-operation of Russia, in his projected destruction of Austria, whom he will compel, whenever it suits his purpose, by his tyrannical exertions, to renew the war; thus causing her to betray a marked contempt for the guarantee of Russia, who, in vindication of her outraged dignity, will find herself obliged once more to arm against the unfortified and unwilling offender. The importance attached by Napoleon to the guarantee of Russia being thus fully demonstrated by the consequences which it is likely to produce, is it astonishing that he should have delayed the publication of peace until he had received that guarantee pregnant with so many future advantages? This is at once the most probable, and, until now, the most authentic explanation given of the mystery in which the proceedings at Schoenbrunn and Altenburg have lately been involved. The report of Buonaparte's illness or insanity is now totally exploded, as was said that at the time his disorder was stated to have raged in the most violent manner, he was attending the theatre at Schoenbrunn, and holding conferences with the prince of Lichtenstein.
It has been lately remarked, that in all the French documents lately published, the spirit of animosity against this country seems greatly abated. To what cause this sudden tide in the sentiments of Buonaparte ought to be attributed, it is not easy to conceive. He has at length grown convinced of the inefficacy of his measures against our trade, and does he feel the want of its revival on the continent? Has he, as he said in a letter to his brother Joseph, eleven years ago, really "exhausted all the sweets of martial glory," and does he begin to long for peace, or think it necessary to consolidate the great fabric of his usurpation? We are not disposed to give his judgment or his heart credit for such sentiments. If he begin to relent towards this country, and wish to entice it into a temporary peace, it is because he is alarmed at the probable progress which the now united Russian army will make, there is but little doubt, in the subjugation of European Turkey. He has long viewed the glory of overwhelming the Turkish empire and religion as his own. This crusade against Constantinople would gratify at once his ambition, and the wish he has expressed of being looked upon as the delegated minister of God to execute his judgments upon the earth. We see, by the letter of his minister at war, which we gave exclusively yesterday, that he does not intend to remove his grand army from the heart of Germany. There it is at hand, should he be able to effect a pacification with this country, and thus free himself from the necessity of maintaining a single soldier in the interior, or in the neighbourhood of France, to join the Russians in the overthrow of the Ottoman empire, and share in the spoils, or, if it be necessary, wrench them from their hands. This, we think, is the real motive which induces him to veil the rancour of his hate against this country, and express an unusual degree of respect for her spirit and exertions. That such has been the case, no one will deny, who has read the official letter of his war minister, to which we have already alluded.
From the Seville Gazette.
SEVILLE, October 5.—We have just received a series of the Geronu Journal, from the 13th to the 20th ult. That invincible city continued to defend itself amidst the greatest privations; and notwithstanding the unexpected prolongation of the siege for upwards of four months, with an heroism which constitutes the glory of Spain, and will form a pre-eminent object of admiration with posterity. Throughout the whole of the 14th, 21 pieces of cannon, and two howitzers, in the enemy's batteries, kept up a dreadful and incessant fire upon the breaches, the walls, and the city. It was returned from the fortress with a heavy and well directed fire, with considerable effect upon the works of the besiegers. Two mortars, planted to the right of the gate of Monjuchi, discharged during the night, shells of the largest size, which did great mischief, owing to the elevation from which they fell. On the 16th, the enemy's fire was still more terrific. It is impossible to describe the furious cannonade directed against the walls, accompanied with a discharge of shells and grenades.
On the 17th the fire was kept up with equal vigor; but the garrison and inhabitants persevering in the most intrepid and determined resistance, witnessed without emotion the destruction which the houses suffered. In the evening of the same day, a French captain presented himself with a white flag and a dispatch. The governor answered him in these laconic terms: "No flag of truce can be admitted." On the 18th, the enemy's fire was rather slack in the morning, but it became more brisk towards noon, and was accompanied with a discharge of shells and grenades.
The 19th was a glorious day for Geronu. After a furious cannonade, with which general Verdier intended to terrify the Geronese, and to facilitate his entrance, he determined to storm the place. He formed his troops, consisting of 8500 men, into three columns, and attacked the three breaches of Santa Lucia, Quartel del Alemanes, and Puerta de S. Christobal; whilst some detached corps occupied the attention of the garrisons of forts Cabildo and Condestable; and another considerable body attempted to carry by assault Fort Calvetas, having provided themselves for that purpose with hatchets, pick-axes and ladders. The columns were upon the breaches by four in the afternoon; but by the same hour the general was beaten, and the imposing sound of the alarm-bells was heard in every part of the city, and already the well disciplined and veteran garrison were at their posts, and completely prepared for action. The French officers, who intrepidly led on their unfortunate troops, paid dear for their temerity.
The attack at the three points was most desperate, but particularly at the breach of the Alemanes, where the enemy at the first outset, forced an entrance. Three times they were repulsed, when, at length, finding their efforts unavailing, they left on these glorious scenes of action a proof of the valour of their defenders, and of French barbarity.
Our invincible defenders, worthy of the admiration of all Europe, were not for an instant forsaken by their heroic constancy and coolness. Led on by valiant and experienced officers, they fought with the highest ardour and intrepidity; and though it is very common for troops to be thrown into confusion under circumstances so terrific, they maintained a degree of order and regularity capable of avenging the most intrepid enemy. This accounts for the breaches, glacis, and ditches being covered with the dead bodies of Frenchmen.
A corps of light troops, called most opportunely from the gates, as the enemy were retreating for the last time, made great slaughter among those haughty slaves of the despot, who, towards
dusk, finally desisted from their enterprise, having received a complete chastisement.
In the Manresa Journals, received to the 25th, it is stated, that the enemy had discontinued their cannonade of the fortress, since the 19th, and that subsequent to that day, there had been heard only a few shots from St. Francisco, on the 22d.
October 7.—General Blake has transmitted to the supreme junta the following dispatch, enclosing reports from the officers, who under his orders, co-operated in the relief of Geronu:—
"Most Excellent Señor Don Gerona, Immortal, whether ultimately vanquished or victorious—fatal at all times to the French troops that have besieged it; firmly perseveres in its glorious defence: but it was not only in want of provisions and ammunition, but even of the most necessary articles for the sick and wounded. It was so closely invested that it had no communication with the rest of the brave principality, except by means of an occasional messenger making his way through the enemy's shot. It therefore became indispensably urgent to alleviate this lamentable situation, by introducing a convoy capable of remedying the scarcity, and also a body of troops to reinforce the brave and indefatigable garrisons of the place. But the operation was difficult and hazardous in proportion as it was important.—Though the enemy occupied a very extended line, it might easily be contracted; and it was to be expected that he would make every effort to prevent the entrance of succours so important to a place which he had been besieging for three months, and which he had kept under the most rigorous blockade. The only resource left to me was, to divert his attention to various points, and make him suppose that my intentions was to offer him battle in the quarter directly opposite to that by which the convoy was to proceed. This plan was carried into effect with the most complete success."
"My head-quarters were in San Mari, when I issued orders for the respective movements. I ordered D. Manuel Llanden, lieutenant of the Ultonia infantry, to march to the heights of Los Angeles, situated to the north of Geronu, with a sufficient number of troops, and such of the Somatenes as he could collect on the road, to dislodge the enemy from that position, where they had only a small body of infantry, and to protect the convoys of provisions which were to be introduced in that quarter. These orders were punctiliously executed. I then repaired to the hermitage of Padre, two leagues distant from San Mari, with the troops of reserve, to be ready to proceed wherever assistance might be necessary. From this point I detached the col. of the Ultonia, D. Enrique O'Donnell, with 1200 infantry, and some cavalry, to attack the enemy's troops that were in Brunolas, with the design of making the French general think that the convoy was to proceed in that direction. Notwithstanding the excellent position of Brunolas, and its local strength being increased by entrenchments, O'Donnell and his troops attacked it with such gallantry that they gained the summit of the mountain, and planted the Spanish colours in the entrenchments. The French kept up a formidable fire; but our troops received it with the coolest intrepidity, and, without stopping to return it, climbed to the highest ridge. In the mean time the enemy received a reinforcement, in consequence of an impression that this was the point which required to be more particularly guarded. O'Donnell, to prevent being turned, descended to the plain, where he made a firm stand. A body of our troops, under the command of gen. Loygorri, soon after arrived at the position occupied by O'Donnell.—Our troops could have in an instant driven the enemy from his position, had it not been judged more advisable to make various evolutions, with the view of magnifying our numbers, and inducing the French general, upon his receiving such information, to reinforce that point with the corps which he had on the Ter, for it was by that road I intended to introduce the convoy. Those divisions were, during the whole evening, in front of Brunolas, which the enemy precipitately evacuated in the night."
"Col. Francis D. Francisco Robira, who was to the left of Ter, and also Lieut.-Colonel D. Juan Clavos, attacked, by my orders, the enemy's troops who were in front of them, and opportunely attracted their attention to that quarter."
In the meanwhile 4000 infantry, and 500 cavalry, under the command of General Garcia Conde, executed a numerous convoy, consisting of from 1500 to 2000 mules, and proceeding from Amer, passed the Ter, directing their march for the fortress, along the right bank of that river. They defeated the enemy who were opposed to them, burned several of their camps, and effected their entrance into Geronu. The French immediately abandoned all their remote posts, and contracted their line, to prevent the return of the mules, drivers, and horses, that had got in. It then became necessary to change our positions, and to make various movements to protect their departure. They remained in the place a day and two nights, and subsequently effected their return with such good fortune, that we did not lose a single individual, nor, perhaps, did so much as a single mule or horse fall into the hands of the enemy."
"The governor of Geronu was left with a garrison of 3000 men. The moment I receive the detailed report of Garcia Conde, I shall transmit it to your excellency. In the mean time I send you extracts from those of O'Donnell, Robira, Clavos, and Llanden. May God, &c."

VERONA, October 11.
The Tyrolese had dammed up the streams which supplied the mills at Trent. They also posted a body of nearly 4000 men, so as to prevent the removal of the obstructions. At noon, yesterday, they were attacked by 900 of the 14th regiment of light infantry, under the command of Colonel Eschenbrener. After sustaining a very considerable loss, they were dislodged from all the heights which they occupied, and pursued upwards of two miles.
The following proclamation by General Peyri, to the Tyrolese, is in circulation here:—
"TYROLESE, You do not know me. I come to let you know who I am. Bred to arms, and inured to the toils of warfare, fortune, far from being adverse, has uniformly smiled upon my endeavours; and therefore have I devoted the remainder of my days to the service of the greatest of Sovereigns."
"The command of Lower Calabria was confided to me in troublesome times. I struck terror into the bad, gained the affections of the good, and re-established order and tranquillity in that province. Would you know how and why? It is, that the people of Calabria, while they are of a blunt, fiery, and impetuous character, are nevertheless susceptible of generous feelings, and disposed to submit to the voice of reason, and they have, accordingly, listened to that voice."
"Tyrolese, I address myself to those among you who are misled, and not to the stubborn, not to the ringleaders of insurrection and anarchy. With those I do not occupy my attention; they are only a set of despicable wretches. Several of them have repeatedly come to solicit my clemency, promising to prove themselves worthy by their future conduct, and surrendering into my hands some of their accomplices. I have rejected, and will continue to reject their applications, because I have sufficient means to bring all of them within my grasp, to annihilate them at the stroke of the law, and totally to annihilate them at one blow. The dreadful days
of the 29th of September and the 2d of October should afford them a lesson.—The Adige still tinged with their blood—the bridges of Trent strewed with their dead bodies; the streets of that city choked up with their killed and wounded; a great number of insurgents sacrificed at Levis to the just revenge of the soldiers, and many others cut to pieces by the cavalry, near St. Michael—such is the fate which awaits the insurgents. I again turn in mercy, to you who have been misled into insurrection; who have been seduced by absurd fanaticism; by clergymen, traitors to the principles of their religion, and by the intrigues of a few base emissaries. Know, that they are only adventurers who avail themselves of respectable appellations for the purpose of exposing a certain court to unmerited disgrace, and effecting their escape amidst the continuance of disorder. Know, that the house of Austria has declared, that it holds in abhorrence every individual who may use its name, for the purpose of augmenting the number of those who are in revolt against their legitimate sovereigns."
"Tyrolese, deliver your arms into my hands, and never take them up again, but to defend your government and its illustrious allies. Return to your houses; live there peaceably under the protection of the laws, resume your labours; and your persons and property shall be respected. Your afflicted mothers, your beloved sons, your disconsolate wives, await your return. That holy religion, which you and I must sincerely venerate, commands you to "be subject." This is the command of God—listen to me. (Signed) "PEYRI."

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 15, 1809.
The absurd errors into which the English papers have fallen, respecting Mr. Jackson, are to be ascribed to the conduct of many of the democrati- cal prints in this country. In those papers it was some- times said, that he was burned in effigy at this place, and in his presence; we noticed that falsehood by stating that Mr. Jackson was never in Norfolk. At another time he was insulted at Annapolis, accord- ing to those papers. We believe Mr. Jackson never did receive a personal insult in this country, if we except the scandalous abuse which he has received in many of the papers, and which is a stain upon the urbanity of our national character. The subsequent rupture cannot be offered as an excuse for the previ- ous abuse.
The tone of war, which the democrati- cal prints hold, would induce one to suppose that it was unavoi- dable; but we believe (and we are happy in the be- lief) that the present administration is not under the control of the demagogue editors, and writers, who would direct its measures. The reception of Mr. Jackson, was a proof of the contempt in which the opinions published in those papers, were held at Washington.
The report of Mr. Gallatin is a document of in- terest, and so very perspicuous, as to require no illus- tration.
Most, if not nearly all our readers understand, that the year at the Treasury ends on the 30th of September, when the accounts are made up, for the ex- ecuting of Congress.

The amount of outstanding revenue bonds on the 30th of September 1809, are estimated at 7,500,000 dollars, from this is to be deducted the amount of drawbacks which are supposed at 2,000,000 of dolls. will leave the net revenue at only 5,500,000 dollars, leaving a difference between 1807 and 1809 of 10,559,417 dollars. In two years then the revenue has diminished, viz.

BURR AND WILKINSON.
The celebrated Aaron Burr, who in conjunction with general Wilkinson, lately conspired against the liberties of his country, has at length, we un- derstand returned to the United States. He is at present, as we are informed, from unquestionable authority, in or near Philadelphia. It is stated to us that his object in returning to America is, to de- velope the whole arcana of the late conspiracy in which he was concerned, and to throw himself up- on the mercy of the government. This information if it be correct, and certainly we place great reliance upon its authenticity, will be received, we have no doubt, with great satisfaction by the publick at large, and particularly by those who have any doubt as to general Wilkinson's criminality. As to ourselves we are highly pleased at the circumstance. We have no enmity whatever against general Wil- kinson, but we certainly are at this time and ex- pect we ever shall be, too fully impressed with a con- viction of his guilt, for that conviction possibly to be removed. The evidence upon this subject at present is sufficiently strong in our estimation to establish his treachery to his country beyond the possibility of a doubt. Yet we should rejoice for the honour of our country at his entire and absolute exculpation. Burr, it is presumable, has it great- ly in his power to throw much more light upon this subject, and it is ardently to be hoped that he will dispel the mist of obscurity with which it is still enveloped. He will no doubt adduce vouchers for every thing which he states in relation to that transaction. When the general shall learn this piece of information, we rather expect his indispo- sition to repair to head-quarters will be greatly en- hanced. Spirit of '76.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, December 8.
A petition from the citizens of Washington pray- ing for a law to make a turnpike road to meet a road about to be constructed in a direct line from Balti- more, was referred to the committee on the District of Columbia.
Mr. Morrow reported a bill for extending the time for issuing and locating military land warrants; which was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Taylor, after a few introductory remarks, of- fered the following resolution:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to en- quire into the circumstances attending the occur- rence alluded to in the letter of Mr. I. A. Coles to the Speaker of this House; that the said committee be instructed to report a statement of the facts with their opinion thereon to this House.
A motion was made by Mr. Stanford to amend the same by striking out the words "committee be appointed " & inserting " the committee appointed to prepare and report such rules and orders as are " necessary to be observed in the House be instruct- ed; " which motion was negatived.
The resolution of Mr. Taylor was agreed to, and Messrs. Taylor, Goodwin, Montgomery, Smilie, Pitkin, Taggart and Matthews appointed a commit- tee accordingly.
The letter received a few days ago from Isaac A. Coles, was referred to this committee.
Mr. Sawyer made two unsuccessful attempts to obtain the consideration of a motion made by him a few days ago to erect a separate committee of manu- factures.
And the House adjourned till Monday.
IN SENATE, December 8.
The bill reported by the committee to prevent the abuse of the privileges and immunities enjoyed by foreign ministers in the United States, was read. The question having been put on its passage to a third reading—
Mr. Wilkinson said he could have no objection to the passage of such a bill if he were satisfied of the necessity of it. It was not a novel subject, for it had been agitated three or four years ago in the case of the Spanish minister, and there was a very unanimous opinion in the senate in favour of such a provision, if it were necessary to carry the object into effect. But the senate had been informed that the executive did not think it necessary. Mr. Wilkinson said that he himself had been of the same opinion; he could scarce- ly suppose that the government would have remain- ed so long without a competent provision to enable the executive to send away foreign ministers con- ducting themselves improperly. He believed for his part that the government had already competent au- thority to send them away; and as to the means, un- doubtedly the proper means were within the direct- ion of the president of the United States, who had the control of the military and naval force. A civil officer could only imprison a person and had no power over him but in his own district; therefore any authority given by the bill to civil officers would be incompetent to the purpose. A marshal could not remove a foreign minister out of the country; for the moment he stepped beyond his jurisdiction his power ceased. Such a service peculiarly belonged to the military and naval force of which the presi- dent had already the entire direction. He therefore thought that the passage of this bill, instead of ad- ding to the weight and character of the president, would be declaring that he is not possessed of the power which the constitution has given him. He knew not why this bill should be now introduced. If it was in relation to the subject under considera- tion this morning, he presumed that the president would now as heretofore conceive that he had the power, and wanted no legislative assistance. Mr. H. said he certainly must vote against the bill, un- less some necessity were shown for passing it. On the former occasion alluded to (the conduct of d'Yv- re) every one was convinced and there was but one sentiment, that if the president had not the power of sending away a foreign minister, he should be invest- ed with it. And yet a bill for giving him that power had been rejected almost unanimously, upon the ground that no legislative provision was necessary; and if he was not much mistaken, information was given to the Senate through those who were in the confidence of the executive, that he did not want an investiture of the power by congress; conceiving that he possessed it, from a higher source, the con- stitution of the United States, which authorised him to receive foreign ministers, in which power was in- cluded every thing necessary to carry it into execu- tion. Could it have been expected by the framers of the constitution, that, in case of collision with a for- eign minister, the president was to wait for the passage of a law by congress before he could act? This subject had never escaped the attention of con- gress; but, the president had always been conceiv- ed to possess ample power for the purpose contem- plated by the bill. If such a provision however were necessary, a law for the purpose ought to have been passed long ago. Under present impressions, Mr. H. said, he should consider this bill as an attempt to express his opinion of congress that the president did not possess a power which he believed to be vested in him by the constitution; add therefore he must vote against it.
Mr. Giles said that he did not feel himself at this time qualified to go into any observations on the bill. It certainly was not his wish to press through the se- nate a bill upon its being well considered, particu- larly when it involved a constitutional question. He did not know that the president might not have been supposed to possess the power proposed to be given to him by the bill; but he knew very well that the president even had ventured to exercise it. Not wishing to press the bill, he had no objection that it should lie on the table, if any gentleman should think proper to make a motion for that purpose.
Mr. Pate said he had been forcibly struck with the remarks of the gentleman from Connecticut, not that he deemed the bill unnecessary, even although the president might already have such a power; for, as so much jealousy existed in this country of Exec- utive power, perhaps congress should nevertheless express its opinion on this point. He was of opin- ion also that the part of the bill which related to civil officers should be stricken out. The natural a- gent of the executive authority was the naval or mi- litary power. I give further time for the consid- eration of the bill moved to postpone it till Monday next.
The motion for postponement was agreed to; and the Senate adjourned till Monday next.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Dec. 7th, 1809. Sir—I have the honour to enclose a report pre- pared in obedience to the act entitled "An act to establish the treasury department."
I have the honour to be, Very respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN.
The Honourable, The President of the Senate. REPORT.
In obedience to the sections of the act supplement- ary to the act entitled "An act to establish the treasury department" the secretary of the treasury respectfully submits the following report and esti- mates:
The duties on merchandise and tonnage which ac- crued during the year 17, amounted after deduct- ing the expenses of collection to dols. 26,126,643 From which deducting for debentures issued on amount of exportation, 10,067,191
Left for the nett revenue accrued during that year 16,059,457
The same duties during the year 1808, a- mounted, after deducting the expenses of collecting, to dols. 10,511,559 From which deducting for debentures is- sued, and which on account of the em- bargo did not exceed 249,396
Leaving for the nett revne accrued during that year, as will pear by the statement (A) 10,332,163
The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several species of merchandise and our sources from which that revenue was collected during the year 1808; and the statement (A) gives comparative view of the importations and re-exportations of the several species of merchandise for the years 1807 and 1808, showing thereby distinctly the effect of foreign ag- gressions and commercial restrictions on the impor- tation of foreign articles.
From the returns already filed for the three first quarters of the present year, and from the ge- neral knowledge of the operations made during the two last months, it is evident that the gross amount of duties on merchandise imported during the whole year, will, after deducting the expenses of collection, amount to about ten millions of dollars.
But as the debentures issued on amount of re- exportation (principally of colonial produce) will amount to about 2,500,000 dollars, the nett revenue
accrued during the year 1809 cannot be estimated at less than six millions and a half.
It appears by the statement (C) that the sales of public lands, have during the year ending on the 30th September, 1809, amounted to 143,000 acres; and the payments by purchasers to near 500,000 dollars. The proceeds of sales in the Mississippi Territory, being after deducting the surveying and other incidental expenses, appropriated in the first place to the payment of a sum of 1,250,000 dollars to the state of Georgia, are distinctly stated.
It appears by the statement (D) that the payments on account of the principal of the publick debt, have during the same period, amounted to near 6,730,000 dollars, the reimbursement of the eight per cent stock having taken place on the first of January last. But the aggregate of payments on account of principal and interest will not for the two years 1808 and 1809 exceed the sum of sixteen millions of dollars appro- priated by law.
The same statement shews that about 54,796,000 dollars of the principal of the debt have been reim- bursed during the eight years and a half commence- ing on the first of April, 1801, and ending on the 30th September, 1809; exclusively of more than six millions of dollars paid in conformity with the provi- sions of the convention with Great-Britain and of the Louisiana convention.
The actual receipts of the treasury during the year ending on the 30th of September, 1809, have amount- ed to Dols. 9,315,753 16 Making, together with the balance in the treasury on the 1st of Oct. 1808, and amounting to 13,846,717 52
Table with 2 columns: Description, Amount. Rows: An aggregate of disbursements during the same year have consisted of the following items, viz. Civil Department, including miscella- neous expenses, and those incident to the intercourse with foreign nations, 1,439,633 23; Military and naval establishments in- cluding the Indian department, viz. Military, including arms and fortifications, 3,366,403 12; Navy, 2,379,367 30; Indian Department, 292 303 84; Interest on the publick debt, 6,037,074 76; Reimbursement of principal of the pub- lick debt, 6,729,777 53; Amounting together, as will appear more in detail by the statement (E) to 17,333,534 67; And leaving in the treasury on the 30th of September, 1809, a balance of 5,828,936 01
Whence it appears that the expenses of govern- ment, exclusively of the payments on account of the principal of the debt, have exceeded the actual re- ceipts into the treasury by a sum of near thirteen hundred thousand dollars; and that that deficiency as well as the reimbursement of the principal of the debt, have been paid out of the sums previously in the treasury, or in other words out of the surplus of the revenues of the preceding years.
The outstanding revenue bonds may, after deduc- ting the expenses of collection, and allowing for bad debts, be estimated to have amounted on the 30th of September, 1809, to 7,500,000 The duties on the importations during the last quarter will not probably, af- ter making a similar deduction fall short of 2,800,000 All these will fall due prior to the 1st day of January, 1811, and make, to- gether with the balance in the trea- sury, on the 30th September, 1809, and amounting as above stated, to 5,800,000
Table with 2 columns: Description, Amount. Rows: An aggregate of the expenses of the present quarter, though not yet precisely ascertained, will not probably, including the pay- ments on account of the publick debt, exceed 3,500,000 00; Leaving on the first day of January, 1810, a sum of 12,500,000
About twelve and a half millions of dollars in cash or bonds payable during the year 1810 and applica- ble to the expenses of that year. This estimate how- ever, is founded on the supposition that the amount of debentures payable in that year will not exceed two millions of dollars, and that the receipts during the year arising from importation subsequent to the first of January next, and from the sales of land, will be sufficient to pay those debentures and to leave at all times in the treasury at least one million of dollars.
Estimating the expenses of a civil nature, both do- mestic and foreign, for the year 1810, at the same amount actually expended for those objects during the preceding year, or at about 1,500,000 And adding thereto the annual appropria- tion of 8,000,000
For the publick debt; (of which sum about three millions seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars will be applied to the final reimbursement of the exchanged six per cent. stock;) It follows that unless the aggregate of the expenses for the military and naval es- tablishments should be reduced to about 3,000,000
three millions of dollars, a loan will be necessary to make up the deficiency. That state of the treasury had been anticipated; and for that reason an in- crease of duties had been respectfully submitted in the last annual report. But should that measure be now adopted, it would not, on account of the terms of credit allowed for the payment of duties, super- sede the necessity of a loan for the service of the year 1810, commensurate with the extent of those es- tablishments and with the appropriations which may be made for their support by congress. No precise sum is suggested, since this must vary according to the plans which may be adopted in relation to for- eign nations, and will particularly depend on the de- cision of congress on the question of war or peace. It is sufficient to state that if the actual expenditure of the year 1810 for all military and naval purposes should be estimated at the same sum which was dis- bursed by the Treasury for those objects during the year ending on the 30th September, 1809, and ex- ceeding as above stated six millions of dollars, the deficiency according to the preceding estim- ation would amount to three millions; on which suppo- sition, it would seem prudent, in order to provide a- gainst any deficiency in the receipts beyond what has been estimated, to authorise a loan of four millions of dollars.
In the event of war the necessity of rendering it ef- ficient and of calling for the purpose into action all the resources of the country, is too obvious to re- quire any comment. On that subject nothing will at this time be said by this department to the sugges- tions respectfully submitted in the two preceding an-
ual reports. It is sufficient to state that the sum which will be required to cover the principal of the debt, and to pay the interest on the new loan, and to cover the expenses of the government, will be equal to the sum of the publick debt including that on the new loan, and to all the current expenses of the government cal- culated on a peace establishment, or, for the present, to about eight millions of dollars. An immediate and considerable increase of the existing taxes will, it is believed, be requisite, for that purpose, and to cover the defalcation which a maritime war must necessarily produce in a revenue almost exclusively depending on commerce. That increase appears to be preferable in the present situation of the U. States to any other source of taxation, and is not, in time of war, liable to the objection of its encour- aging smuggling. It is only in the event of that revenue being still more affected by a war than is apprehend- ed, that a resort to internal taxes either direct or in- direct may become necessary.
If war should not be resorted to, it does not appear requisite unless Congress should resolve on a per- manent increase of the military and naval establish- ments in time of peace, to lay at present any addi- tional duties, beyond a mere continuance of the two "Mediterranean fund." It has already been stated that an increase of the impost would not supply the deficiency which may take place in the year 1810, and exclusively of the reimbursement of the loan which may be wanted for the service of that year, all the national expenses calculated on a peace establish- ment and on the average of the actual expenditures of the six years 1802 & 1807, will not exceed ten mil- lions of dollars for the year 1811, and eight millions after that year.
Table with 2 columns: Description, Amount. Rows: For the only portion of the existing debt which ac- cording to law it will be practicable after the year 1810 to reimburse, will, exclusively of the annual re- imbursement of the six per cent and deferred stocks, consist only of the converted six per cent stock, which amounts to less than two millions of dollars. The payments, on account of the annual appropria- tion of eight millions of dollars, for the debt cannot for that reason (except for the purpose of reimburs- ing the loan which may be wanted for the service of the year 1810) much exceed six millions of dollars in the year 1811, and four millions of dollars annually in the ensuing years may, therefore, if calculated on a peace establishment, be estimated as follows, viz. Civil expenses, domestic and foreign, 1,500,000; Military and naval establishments (includ- ing the Indian department) calculated on the average of the actual expendi- ture for those objects during the six years 1802—1807, as will appear by statement (F) about 2,500,000; Interest on the publick debt, including the annual reimbursement on the six per cent and deferred stocks, 4,100,000; Total of the annual expenses of the year 1811, 8,100,000; Reimbursement of the converted six per cent stock, 1,860,000; Total of the expenses for the year 1811, 9,960,000
Whatever may be the decision of Congress in o- ther respects, there is a subject which seems to re- quire immediate attention. The provisions adopted for the purpose of carrying into effect the non-inter- course with England and France, particularly as modified by the act of last session under an excep- tion that the orders of council of Great-Britain had been revoked, are inefficient and altogether inappli- cable to existing circumstances. It will be sufficient to observe that exportation by land is not forbidden, and that no bonds being required from vessels cat- egorically vested in the coasting trade, nor any author- ity vested by law which will justify detention, those vessels daily sail for British ports, without any o- ther remedy but the precarious mode of instituting prosecutions against the apparent owners. It is un- necessary, and it would be painful to dwell on all the effects of those violations of the law. But without any allusion to the efficiency or political object of any system, and merely with a view to its execution, it is incumbent to state that from ex- perience of the two last years, a perfect confusion arises, that either the system of restriction partially abandoned must be reinstated in its parts, and with all the provisions necessary for its strict and complete execution, or that all the restrictions, so far at least as they effect the commerce and naviga- tion of the citizens of the U. States, ought to be re- moved.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York.
Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall-Street.
PROPOSALS
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property, from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION: and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public.
No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified.—The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
No. I.
HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS.
Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings.
62 1/2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. II.
HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS.
Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings.
93 3/4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. III.
HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS.
Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings.
125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. IV.
HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS.

187 1/2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazard, will give a general idea of the rate of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security.—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured ON OR IN the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.
Snap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Cooperage, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, &c. Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra-hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance.
I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the Company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described.
II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupant; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufacturing is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed, or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect.
III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property.
IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy or Interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.
V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid.
VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy: and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect: and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained.
VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever.
VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Read, Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured.
IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy.
X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in to particular account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall produce a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, and contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or very likely believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or willful neglect, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and, until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable.—Also, if there appears any fraud, or any swindling, the Company shall refuse his claim to return, or payment, by reason of his policy.
XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever.
XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required.

To this demon have thousands fallen a sacrifice, in the cruel transports of its rage.
The most common symptoms at its commencement, are weakness, flatulency, palpitations, watchfulness, drowsiness after eating, timidity, flutters of heat around, numbness, cramp, giddiness, pains in the head, back and loins, hick-up, difficulty of respiration and deglutition, anxiety and dry cough, &c.

A small, but Vatable FARM for Sale.
THE SUBSCRIBER has a Farm of about 200 acres, in the County of York, which he is disposed to sell. It lies nearly half way between the towns of York and Hampton, and is bounded on its southern side by the main road leading from Hampton through York and Williamsburg to Richmond. It will therefore be a good stand for a Tavern or Store, or the shop of a Mechanic; the soil is every where fertile, and some parts highly so; and perhaps no land promises, from the nature of soil and other advantages, with more certainty to reward its cultivator. It lies near a Water Grist Mill, and within about two miles of a good pusk landing. The river on which this landing is established is remarkable for the fine quality as well as the abundance of its Fish and Oysters. Upon the upper part of the land, there is a small Dwelling-House, in which there is a tenant for the present year; but the house is of little value; there are no other buildings on the land. Mr. Guern Robinson, who resides near it will show it to any one desirous to view it, and either he or Capt. Malory Todd, Smithfield, or Mr. Richard Young, of Warwick Town will act for the sale of it, or application may be made to
Merit M. Robinson.
