With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Seal and other Leather here—good workmanship —great attention—no disappointments—a regular bred for- man—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnish- ed and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions only he expects custom. He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO , all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an al- lowance made for that which is not; but the greatly en- creased price of all the materials, and the high price of la- bour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here. He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibili- ty of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see. He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gen- tlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of get- ting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only.
A LEASE For the eligible PROPERTY he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half acres to run. April 15.

TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1809.
CAPTAIN SEAWARD arrived yesterday in 10 days from St. John's, (Porto Rico,) informs us that three days before he sailed, information was received from Barbados and St. Thomas's, stating that three sail of French line of battle ships and three frigates had arrived at Guadalupe from France, with troops, which they landed, and in coming out were discovered by the British fleet, and chased in the Saints, where they are blockaded. These are probably the ships that escaped from L'Orient, when the British fleet left their station off that port in pursuit of the Brest fleet. Captain Seaward informs us that 300 British troops had gone from Barbados to assist the Spaniards in the reduction of the City of St. Domingo.

DIED—Last Evening, MR. WILLIAM RAINCOCK, formerly a merchant of this place.
[Whatever our wishes may be, candour obliges us to say, that we cannot confide in the accounts contained in the following article as they relate to Spanish affairs.]
BALTIMORE, April 28.
The British Packet Carteret, with the March mail, has arrived at New York, via Halifax. She sailed from Falmouth the 12th ult. bringing London dates to the 9th. Of course nothing new—A passenger in the packet, it is said, has stated, that at the moment of sailing, a report prevailed at Falmouth, that the British blockading squadron had captured 9 sail of the French line of battle ships, near the Isle of Aix. The artillery and military stores, at the time of St. Roche, before Gibraltar, are transporting to Cadiz and Valencia, for the use of the army of the priests. Cuesta is reported to have cut off 4,000 French near Estremadura, and Palafox 10,000 before Saragossa; the bridge over the Ebro being swept away, it's body were in consequence detached from the main army, when Palafox, with 20,000 men, in a sort of, destroyed or drove them into the river. Cuesta and De l'Infantado, with their united forces, amounting to 60,000, were marching against Toledo about the 17th January.
The truth of these Spanish articles is very questionable. Late accounts from that country give a different aspect to Spanish affairs. Fifteen thousand Spanish prisoners passed through Bayonne in the first week in February. Accounts from St. Andero say that the mountains of Asturia are no longer infested with any considerable bodies of the soldiery of the priests. The Swedish senate, and chamber of commerce at Stockholm have made strong remonstrances to their monarch on the disastrous consequences likely to result from a longer continuance of the war. A famine is apprehended in the northern provinces of Sweden. The late peace between Turkey and England, is likely to hurl down on the Turks, from the thunders of the Russian cannon. The Russians are raising troops in Wallachia, where numerous artillery and vast quantities of provisions had arrived.
GLORIOUS TRIUMPH.
On Monday last the election of a member of congress from the district composed of the counties of Charlotte, Buckingham, Prince Edward and Cumberland was concluded. John Randolph had a majority in each of these four counties, and in all together an aggregate majority of 753 votes.
This result we deem highly honorable both to the electors and to the representative. It is well known that there was an active, if not an able opposition in the district. No less than five persons have been successively presented to the public as competitors with Mr. Randolph; the last of whom being the nephew by marriage of the ex-president, was at length fixed upon as his opponent. It is equally well known that there was, without the district, an opposition equally active.
Mr. R. had to encounter not only the influence of popular men in the several counties of his district, but the still greater influence of men of still greater name at least, in adjoining and neighbouring counties. These difficulties were aggravated by acts of incessant hostility committed through the medium of the public prints, among which Ritchie's Enquirer stood "glittering in the van," being particularly distinguished for its rancour, illiberality, and envenomed malignity. During the last winter, while Mr. Randolph was performing his duties in congress, volleys were addressed to the people of this district, persuading them to abandon him. His conduct and his principles, were loudly reprobated and those who either dared avowedly or were suspected to be his friends, were alternately assailed by the same illiberality of detraction and denunciation. He was represented as an enemy of his native country; a country which at no distant day will boast of him, as she has done before, as one of the most enlightened, intrepid, and faithful of her sons. Every effort which ingenuity could invent or malice suggest appears to have been practised in order to render him obnoxious to the people of this district. No means however mean and pitiful have been pretermitted to accomplish this object. His enemies not satisfied with what they represented to be a refutation of his errors, often substituted abuse for argument, and Mr. Randolph's person, his temper, his manners and even his looks, walk and voice have afforded topics for malignant declamation. But discussion and abuse have been alike unavailing. The people of his district have known Mr. Randolph from his infancy. They confide in his integrity and patriotism. They have witnessed for years his unshaken firmness, his manly and independent spirit. They admire his talents and listen to his eloquence with delight. They know that he has been a faithful servant of the people, a strenuous defender of their rights, and a firm and uniform supporter of the federal constitution. They know that he has never yet proposed or advocated a measure incompatible with the sacred principles on which it stands. They recollect his opposition to the suspension of the habeas corpus law, his hostility to the senatorial treason bill, and his overthrow of the Yazoo host. With this knowledge and with these impressions the people of Charlotte district, voting for themselves, have in defiance of the most active and extensive opposition that ever was excited against any individual in Virginia, re-elected the enlightened Randolph, the friend to Monroe, to the people and to the constitution, to be their representative for the next two years.
Spirit of 76.
FROM THE MONITOR.
The world's great jubilee is at length arrived, when the hearts of suffering people will be glad by the certain prospect of peace. Old England and America are once more united, and likely to be settled in the solid bands of friendship for ages and for generations to come. And what is to prevent it? Nothing in the consideration of human events, for all things necessary are anticipated. It is their interest to be united, and whenever interest is the cement between nation and nation, or man with man, the connexion will be lasting. "Mentor" has been held up as a partisan; an enemy to the liberties of America; a tool of the present administration, and an avowed agent of France. These conjectures are formed in the wild fancy of imagination, while the passions were inflamed, and prejudice presided. Facts prove otherwise, and that he is a real American, an old patriot, and under the influence of no man or set of men. It is true he has long known the virtues of a WASHINGTON and an ADAMS, a JEFFERSON and a MADISON, but he is not personally acquainted with either. He never ate at their tables, or solicited office or emolument. He stands erect. A firm patriot, guided purely from principle and the love of country. He hails with heartfelt satisfaction, the late propitious events, as lastingly favourable to that country which gave him birth, and to the permanent felicity of the world at large. And why? Because, at this great event two of the most potent powers on earth are brought into union, and thereby the peace and happiness of the world will speedily be settled on sure and lasting foundations. America and England united in reciprocal interest must give peace to the world, for all the powers upon the earth will not be able to interrupt their harmony or annoy their intercourse. If they become bona fide, and essentially, united in the bonds of friendship, as it is their interest so to do; what can France, with all its inland gigantic power; Russia, or the feeble nations of Europe, now do? Why, nothing. And if these two united powers, England and the United States, are disposed to aid the oppressed people of South America, to break off their chains and to cast off their task masters, and become a free and independent nation, who now is to prevent? They possess the omnipotence in spite of all the stratagems of the intriguing Napoleon.
Shallow pated politicians often judge from their own narrow minds, and self-interested motives, and in a lump, condemn both men and measures, but the steps pursued by the government of the United States, under Providence, have been the efficient means of bringing about the present happy change. Those vultures who live by prey, by carnage and by death, will endeavour to keep up the war whoop; for so soon as party spirit receives its death wound, their consequence is gone and their interest is destroyed. No wonder then, under their various specious pretences, they still show the spirit of faction and try to divide the people of America by a wrong construction of events, as relating to their government. But every good citizen will now let the nick-names of federal and democrat descend peaceably to the tomb, on the eventful circumstance that have restored harmony betwixt England and America; and of course, also, will be obliterated the odious appellation of whig and tory. We are now all Englishmen; all Americans; we have made friends upon honourable principles, and to the mutual interest and happiness of both countries! May the ties be lasting; lasting, I pray, as the existence of the world, and as the sun in his meridian splendour! May they who attempt to destroy the union, fostered by heaven, be considered, as they really ought, by all good men, as the only enemies to their country, and the liberties and happiness of their fellow-beings, in all quarters of the globe where freedom is acknowledged to have an existence. The grand secret then, for both nations to continue in lasting harmony is to form commercial treaties and regulations, on the broad basis of equity and reciprocity, and, in no one instance, ever to interfere with the government or internal concerns of the other.
MENTOR.
From the National Intelligencer—Extra.
WASHINGTON, April 27.
Thomas Fitzsimons, President of the Chamber of Commerce at Philadelphia, to the Secretary of State.
Philadelphia, April 22, 1809.
SIR, The Proclamation of the President of the United States, published here yesterday has necessarily engaged the attention of the merchants of this city, and I am particularly requested by a respectable number of them to ask from you an explanation on a point in it considered as very important. That is,
whether the 10th of June refers to the departure of vessels from the United States, or to their arrival in Great-Britain or its dependencies.
Without presuming to hazard an opinion upon that point, it may not be improper to remark, that if the latter shall be declared to be its true intent and meaning, the advantage to the United States will be incalculable. As respects expectations to India, it may be observed, that if vessels do not sail before the tenth of June, they must encounter all the delays and dangers of the adverse Monsoons, and as it respects the export of articles the growth or produce of the United States, the advantages are too obvious to require enumeration.
Under a firm persuasion, that it is the desire of the President to give all proper facility to the commerce of the United States, the merchants of this city wish this question to be submitted to the President as soon as your convenience will permit; and that you will be pleased to favour me with his determination thereon.
I am with great respect, (Signed)
THOMAS FITZSIMONS.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, April 26, 1809.
SIR, Your letter of the 22d inst. I have received, and I have the honour of stating to you, that in pursuance of the statute, commonly called the non intercourse act, the President, having by his proclamation merely declared the revocation on the 10th of June, of the British Orders, has left the fact subject to the operation of the law thereon.
In answer, however, to the question particularly propounded by you, it with propriety may be added, that the day stated in the proclamation, viz: the 10th of June, refers to the arrival of vessels in Great-Britain and its dependencies, and in the United States, leaving the time and manner of their clearances to the discretion of the owners, as far as law and usage may justify.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed)
R. SMITH.
Thomas Fitzsimons, Esq. President of the Chamber of Commerce, Philadelphia.
Question to the Comptroller of the Treasury. Is the 6th section of the Enforcing act, passed the 9th J. nuary, 1808, repealed by the Non-Intercourse act of March 1, 1809?
Answer.
After a full consideration of the question, I am decidedly of opinion that the provisions of that section are not repealed, and that the granting a new register or license, or in the case of the sale of a vessel, neither registered nor licensed, the bond required by that section is to be given.
From the N. Y. Spirit of 1776.
SPECIFICK APPROPRIATION.
Perhaps the most extraordinary instance of the duplicity of Mr. Jefferson's administration is to be found in a contrast of their principles and practice, in relation to the appropriations for the naval department.
During Mr. Adam's administration, an act of congress was passed, directing six ships not less than 74 guns each, to be built within the United States; This act was understood by all parties, as a solemn determination of the government to establish a permanent navy.
Mr. Stoddart who was then secretary of the navy, believing that the act directing these ships to be built, implied a grant of all powers requisite for carrying it into execution, and that the publick interest would be thereby promoted, purchased six sets for building and repairing ships of war, namely, at Portsmouth, Charleston, New-York, Philadelphia, Gosport, and the city of Washington.
The expenditures for all these sites amounted to about 156,000 dollars.
The grounds purchased at Charleston or New-York are separately of greater value at the present time, than the whole of the expenditures before mentioned.
It was a principal topic of complaint by Mr. Giles and his associates, that the purchase of navy yards was unlawful, without an express authority from congress, and a specifick appropriation.
Now mark the practice of Mr. Jefferson's administration, and compare it with the strict principles by which they attempted to controul the conduct of their predecessors.
It appears from the publick accounts that the following sums have been expended and charged to the "appropriation for building six 74 gun ships, and for completing navy yards, docks, and wharves."
Table with 2 columns: Year, Amounting to dollars. Rows from 1801 to 1807, total 951,882 39.
Almost the whole of this money has been expended at Washington, for objects utterly worthless. Nothing of consequence has been expended at Charleston or New-York. Not a single stick of timber has been applied for building a 74 gun ship. The materials which had been collected during Mr. Adam's administration, have in a great measure been applied to other purposes; some of them have been degraded by a conversion into gun-boats. The whole fund has been applied to purposes, which in respect to a small part, were declared to be unlawful.
But the effect of Mr. Jefferson's economy is peculiarly visible in its general results, in respect to the navy department. During the last eight years, the expenditure has exceeded the preceding period of eight years at least two millions of dollars. During the first period a navy was built, magazines were provided, and effective services were performed. During the last period effective services have also been performed, whenever our officers and men have been permitted to display their bravery; but the ships have decayed, the stores have been consumed, and little remains to be exhibited for an expenditure of about eleven millions of dollars, but the navy yard at Washington and Gun-Boats.
ALEXANDRIA, April 27.
Col. Buckner and Mr. Clarkson, federalists, are elected delegates to the Virginia Legislature for Fauquier county. We understand the utmost exertions were made by the democrats to carry their men, but to no avail—The first named gentleman had a majority of 50, the last 40.
PHILADELPHIA, April 23.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Comptroller's Office, April 18.
The Secretary of the Treasury has referred to me your letter to him of the 7th inst. I am of opinion, that a vessel, being at a licensed port, may after the proclamation of the President of the United States contemplated by the 11th section of the act of the 1st March last, proceed to any port which shall be permitted under the proclamation pursuant to that
section, without a forfeiture of the bond previously executed pursuant to the provisions of the last recited act.
Yours, &c.

CHARLESTON, April 24.
Extract of a letter from Havana, dated the 12th April.
"Our chamber of commerce, presided over by the governor and intendant, have lately had several meetings to take into consideration and arrange definitively our foreign trade; and though no public notice has been given, I understand the following is the result, viz: The article of flour from the United States in American bottoms, will pay from 10 to 11 dollars per bbl. Rice and other articles of provisions, 50 per cent. ad valorem; cotton manufactures, 15 per cent. all other merchandise 22 per cent. excepting lumber, hoops and staves, which pay nothing—A re-exportation of provisions is allowed, if within the space of two months after their arrival, and all the duties returned, except one per cent. Flour in Spanish vessels from the United States (if they permit it) to pay 6 dollars per bbl. Rice, &c. 30 per cent."
"Provisions of every kind, meet very bad sales—Dry goods, particularly German, in demand; assorted sugars, 3 1-2 to 3 1-2, Muscovado 5. Coffee 14 1-2 to 15 dollars. Molasses 6 reals."
The Spanish ship Nueva Montserrat has arrived at Havana, from this port. Her not being permitted to carry out a cargo, while American vessels were hourly arriving, loaded, bad excited very strong prejudices against the American government; and the above heavy duties are probably intended to counteract this restriction. All French goods have been prohibited in the island of Cuba, while English manufactures will have a decided preference. The British frigate La Franchise , captain Dashwood, has arrived at Havana, in 9 days from Jamaica, having left that island the beginning of this month. No news.
Immediately after the proclamation was issued, which was published in the Courier on the 15th inst. some violent riots took place at Havana; they were principally committed by boys and persons of colour. It was not quelled until the governor ordered out the volunteers, dragoons and militia with directions to fire upon the rioters, if they should attempt to make any resistance. Several of the ring-leaders have been taken up and confined in the Moro, and quietness is now restored. Considerable violence was likewise done in the country to the French residents; their plantations were plundered, and every vessel which leaves the island is compelled to carry off a number of the French. These excesses were entirely directed against the French, the Spaniards being stimulated to revenge, by the news of the recent disasters of the patriots in Old Spain; and it appears as if the government had winked at these outrages, until they were extended to the houses of some Spaniards, who were suspected to have French property in their possession, when it was found necessary to order out a military force to suppress them.
Foreign Intelligence.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—March 6.
AMERICA.
Mr. Whitbread rose for the purpose of moving his intended motion with regard to America. He commenced by observing that he would call the attention of the house to that series of disastrous events which so fatally characterised the former American war, and which may now prevent the infatuation with which we were burying into another. It had pleased Heaven, that all our efforts to crush that country were vain and futile. She grew into gigantic strength, and forced us to acknowledge her independence. Of her it may be said that she was "Non sine diis animosus infans."
The strength which she acquired, she used for the interests of Great-Britain. She possessed within her, powers equal to rendering us a match for the rest of the world, and those, at a moment when exclusive of her, we have the whole world to cope with. The opportunity was too inviting to escape the notice of the statesman. He could wish that it were improved upon, and that the preferred co-operation which America held out to us, had not been set aside for the indulgence of a false point of honour. He would say, that this far exceeded all present cases of reputed importance. It had not only included a line of retrenchment, but of prospective measures also. He trusted, that the house (though unaided and unsupported by ministers) would have the resolution to perform what the opposite gentleman had not the prudence to think of. He was aware of the great abilities which would be brought into action against him; and he confessed, the apprehensions which he felt from the talents of the right honourable gentleman who had just made his appearance. The force on his side was unfortunately weak. Now, more than ever, did he feel the loss of that great citizen (the late Dr. Lawrence), whose presence on this occasion would be cheering and invigorating. He hoped, that gentlemen on the opposite benches, however inclined they were to jest on him while living, would concur with him in paying the deserved tribute to his memory, now that he was no more (Hear, Hear!). He was an accomplished model of integrity and science. He could wish that he had even left his mantle with his party. As to himself, weak and unlearned as he was, he would confide in a scrip and sling against the Goliaths of the opposite side. He would, however, previous to entering the lists, in conformity with the etiquette of chivalrous tournaments, advance a few preliminaries. He begged leave to observe, that he should not be the last man to vindicate his own honour. It had been said, that his defence of America was a defence of the enemies of his country. He was an advocate for his country, and it would appear so in that defence; inasmuch as that he ventured to point out, where his country was an enemy to herself. He deprecated the idea of being influenced by a party administration. It was against the Orders of the 7th January and 11th November, he would in the present instance contend. He said, that they were a monument of ministerial arrogance and incapacity. The right honourable gentleman opposite was mistaken, when he supposed that all obstacles were removed by these measures, or in even supposing, that the fragments were broken up. The snake was scratched, not killed; and it would come on again with accumulated vigour in its attack and accumulated venom in its sting. He apprehended, that America would add to the many false predictions which the mighty prophets opposite pronounced on the affairs of Spain at the commencement. Ministers had been as flippant in their prophecies regarding one as the other, and the event in both has been uniformly false and fatal. What, he would ask, had been the benefit which was so frequently boasted of, that resulted to our manufactures from the adoption of the measures proposed by the Orders in Council? An honourable member on a former debate, had represented the Irish linen manufacturers to be in a truly lamentable condition. Where was the predicted increase of exports and imports? He would not now prove in custom-house searches, but he would confidently state that

there was diminution of eleven millions in the export and imports of this country. With regard to the increased importation of raw materials, such as cotton, wool, &c., which it was so confidently predicted would take place, he begged to inform the house, that half an hour previous to his entrance, he received reports which stated the deficit to be enormous. Formerly, the importation of those articles amounted to 32,000,000; whereas now from the boasted resources of Asia and the Brazils, they amount to little more than five million. In the year during which the Berlin Decree was in full operation, a decree which excited such general concern and dismay, the exports and imports were much greater than in any other hitherto. It would be material he conceived, to observe, how they were reduced by the operation of the Orders in Council. Another of these predictions had proved as ill founded as this was current; and that was, the insurrection—the rising in mass of the French people, in consequence of being debarred the advantages of colonial trade by the adoption of those measures. But, he would ask, has Buonaparte found his men less willing to march forward at his command, because they were furnished with a less supply of coffee and sugar for their breakfasts? (A laugh) Did he in consequence of such measures being adopted, rescind the Berlin decree? Out of 32 cotton mills employed at full work hitherto in Manchester six only are now represented to be at half work. It would not, he conceived, be exactly correct, to depend on the Baltic for a supply of flax seed, as the right honourable gentleman opposite had mentioned. He was himself too old (the right honourable gentleman was older) to depend upon improvements from process of time. Unappalled by accumulated horrors, and elated by a little success, which they have not viewed as prudent men would, instead of generously seizing such moments to extend the hand of friendship, his majesty's ministers, in proportion to their success increased in rancour and enmity. The honourable member observed, that from the similarity of language, and other circumstances, more occasions of dissatisfaction, on the part of America, had arisen than that on which he now had the honour to address the house. —The impression of her sailors and the violation of her neutrality, burning on her coast, within the precincts of her protection, a French vessel which took refuge there, were recorded instances. And lastly, the cause of her complaints was heightened by the affair of the Leopard and Chesapeake. He was extremely sorry to perceive, that the hon. gentleman (Mr. Rose) he meant Mr. Rose the ambassador, had left the house. He would allow that gentleman the credit of having disavowed that affair to be at the suggestion of his majesty's ministers. But here he must say, that the propriety began and here it also ended. Mr. Rose informed Mr. Madison, that he could not come to any explanation on the subject, unless the American proclamation with it was revoked. It was impossible America should act thus, as the aggression was on the part of this country. The hon. member begged that the house would turn to the correspondence between Mr. Madison and Mr. Rose, lying on the table, and they would find that Mr. Madison only required of Mr. Rose to unfold the terms of accommodation, and the matter would be brought to a determination. He would ask, could any offer be more fair and particularly so on the part of the injured and insulted party. The precedence which we claimed put him in mind of the conduct of Lewis XIVth, to the Doge of Venice, who insisted on absolute humiliation. When the Speaker of the commons, and the lord chancellor went to present an address to his majesty, they amicably measured their paces together, and disputed not on precedence (a laugh). On the case of America he did not perceive any reason why the same amicable equality should not exist. He remembered hearing of a dispute on the continent, where four ambassadors entered into a contention on the precedence of entry into the audience chamber; it was happily terminated by the separate entrance of each to the chamber through four doors. Mr. Rose acted in a contrary manner; he would enter at neither, (a laugh). In an affair of such extreme delicacy, he could not see that it was a trifling matter for ministers to cover admiral Berkeley, the agent in the matter, with the shield of their sanction. That the case was so evident, (said the honourable gentleman), in the immediate command which was given him in another quarter—the West Indies. After a wish was expressed that the affair of the Chesapeake should be considered in a distinct light, he could not suppress his amazement at the right hon. gentleman finding fault with Mr. Pinkney for not having mentioned it. He ridiculed the idea of the chancellor of the exchequer going forth to combat France, like the poisonous Upa with his hook bill. He would now proceed to the more immediate subject of the present debate. The preamble of the Order in council of the 11th of November assumed, that America had acquiesced in the decrees of France; an assumption which subsequent events had proved to be false. As false was the assertion, that the orders in council were in no degree known in America before the laying on of the embargo. Their substance was known although it certainly was a great insult to the American government, that our ambassador, who sailed for America on the 12th of November, was not instructed to take with him a copy of the order in council of the preceding day, for the information of the American government. The conduct of America had been most impartial with respect to France and England. Had we been wise we should have rescinded our orders in council, and the consequence would have been, that America would have continued the embargo towards France, but not towards England; and that ultimately she would probably have become the ally of England against France. Instead of having taken that step, we demanded of America, that which it was impossible for her to do; namely to compel Buonaparte to abandon the Berlin decree. He considered the decrees of France as so many ruins de guerre , to entrap us to our destruction, an attempt which seemed but too likely to succeed. Adverting to the correspondence that had passed on the subject, between the right hon. the secretary for foreign affairs, and Mr. Pinkney, he reproached the style in which the Notes of the former were couched. They reminded him of what he had heard called that right hon. gentleman's storms of eloquence in that house. Storms they certainly were. His speeches exhibited great coruscations of genius, and abounded with brilliant and vivid lights; but they also possessed other ingredients of the storm—clouds and vapours and wind. Impetuous as was in general the tone of that right hon. gentleman, he had complained of the tone of Mr. Madison's letters! like Sir Anthony Absolute, in the play, he exclaimed "Why do you put yourself in a passion? Why are you not as cool as I am?" and this in a manner that indicated as much warmth as his adversary. The style of the right hon. gentleman's diplomacy was most unjustifiably sarcastic, and most unbecoming a dignified statesman. When compared with that of Mr. Madison's, the inferiority was most evident. Much had been said of the retaliation which the orders of council would effect. That that retaliation had fallen on ourselves, we need only look at the state of our own manufactures, and of our West India colonies, to be convinced. He had hoped, that the motion which he should submit to the house would have been rendered unnecessary. He had heard reports that some conciliatory propositions had been very recently made by the British government to America. If this were so, he would make a bonfire of his
papers, and rejoice. All that he wished was, that this country should make those concessions alone to America, which were compatible with our true dignity. If the British government obstinately refused to concede that which he contended they ought to concede, the ultimate result in all probability would be war between Great Britain and America. This was an event which some might contemplate with satisfaction. The American character was not popular in this country. He asked what would be the security of our islands, as well as of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, should a war with America take place? We should probably lose the whole of our commercial and insular possessions. He ridiculed the attempt made to take Martinique, which turned out to be only a reconnaissance , and compared it to the unfortunate expedition to Ferrol. At a time when it was probable France would have so many naval countries at her disposal, it was most imprudent to add America to the list of our enemies. The greatness of England was in a considerable degree factitious. It resulted from our commerce; and if that commerce were destroyed, the country would go with it; at least it could not continue to be a very great power. He instanced gen. Washington and Dr. Franklin to prove, that the American character was very much undervalued in England, and quoted a valedictory address of the former in which he exhorted his countrymen to the strict observance of justice and good faith. After having dwelt for a considerable time on this and similar subjects, the hon. gentleman concluded by moving an humble Address to his majesty, recapitulating the various topics of his speech, praying his majesty to adopt without delay such conciliatory measures as would renew the amicable relations between Great Britain and America, and at the same time assuring his majesty, that the house would firmly support his majesty in the maintenance of the essential rights of the country.
[Debate to be continued.]
LONDON, March 8. Portuguese papers to the 21st ult. were received last night. They state, that an expectation of an immediate war between France and Austria strongly prevailed at Seville and Lisbon; and it receives considerable confirmation from the retrograde movements of the French troops in Spain. In La Mancha, they were precipitately retreating towards Madrid, leaving behind them baggage and arms. They are also said to have retreated from the neighbourhood of Corunna and Vigo, towards the frontiers of France. It is certain that they have not followed up the advantages they had obtained, nor does it appear that they had made any attempt to enter Portugal. Several Danish vessels, which recently sailed from French ports, have been captured by our cruisers. The masters of two of them arrived in town on Monday, and made depositions in the course of the afternoon, stating, that they sailed in consequence of private orders, transmitted to them from the court, through the medium of the Danish consuls. The orders were, we understand, to sail without delay from the French ports, at the risk of being captured by the British cruisers. In consequence of these orders, no less than fourteen Danish vessels sailed at once from Bordeaux, besides several from other ports. Duroc, we are informed, left Vienna on his way to St. Petersburg.

LIVERPOOL, March 9. Corn Exchange, Tuesday March 7. An exceedingly dull market for every description of Grain; the sales so few that prices were without variation.
March 9. Copy of a petition presented to the House of Commons from this town. To the hon. the Commons of the United kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in parliament assembled. The humble petition of the Gentlemen Clergy, Merchants, and other inhabitants of the town of Liverpool, Sheweth.
That the bill now before parliament, by which (if passed into a law) the Irish distilleries will be permitted to resume the distillation from grain, is a measure that in the present situation of the country may excite great alarm in this populous county. That the act passed last year, prohibiting the distillation from corn, generally throughout the United Kingdom, has been found productive of great benefit, and given general satisfaction here to all classes of the community. That the last crop of wheat, in particular, proved remarkably deficient throughout the United Kingdom, and it is ascertained, that the stocks of grain now remaining in the farmers hands, as well as in the granaries in this town and neighbourhood, are unusually and alarmingly small.
That the supplies of corn received at this port from Ireland since the last harvest, are not considerable; that the prices there, as well as here, particularly of oats, have already advanced very materially, in consequence of the agitation of this measure, and that in Ireland the prices are now very high, much more so than they were at this period of the last year, or at the time when the said act passed.
That oatmeal is a material part of the food of the lower classes of the people in this country, that the prices are at this time much higher than they can afford to pay, and that if the present measure be adopted, the supplies from Ireland are likely to be greatly reduced, from which much distress is to be feared, will arise, particularly at the present time, when so large a number of labouring manufacturers and others are totally without employment.
That in corroboration of the facts before mentioned, your petitioners humbly state, that it has already been found necessary to raise very considerable sums of money by subscription, in this town, in Manchester, and in other parts of the country for the express purpose of procuring and distributing food to the numerous distressed families, who absolutely required such relief. Your petitioners therefore most humbly pray, that the said bill may not pass into a law.
PARIS, February 17. Our troops have entered Vigo. Major Nicolas, at the head of a squadron of the 1st regiment of hussars, compelled the fort to surrender. There were in the port three gun-boats, each armed with a 24-pounder, a number of marine effects, and a well-provided arsenal. At Redondela, a Russian corvette of 30 guns and 100 men was found, belonging to the squadron of admiral Shmavin.
Three thousand men of the English army had embarked at Vigo. They had scarcely left the port when they were assailed by a violent tempest. Six transports sunk in the open sea, with 1200 men on board.
Gen. Francheschi has entered Troy. The duke of Dalmatia has marched towards Oporto. The English expedition in Spain has been extremely
unfortunate. Thirteen of its vessels have perished on the coast of Brittany, and many others have been cast on the coast of Spain.
The duke of Eichingen announces from Galicia, that tranquility is perfectly re-established in that great province.
Marshal Davoust, duke of Auerstadt, commander in chief of the army of Germany, has just arrived at Paris.
The expulsion of the English from Spain has been announced by 30 discharges of cannon from all our sea-ports; so that the English cruisers would soon be informed of it.
The following circular note has been addressed to the princes of the second class of the confederation of the Rhine, by his serene highness the prince of Nassau Usingen:
"His imperial and royal majesty of France, has, by a writing under his hand, invited his serene highness to make known to the princes of the confederation of the Rhine, the sentiments which animate him in favour of the tranquility and repose of this nation, of which his imperial and royal majesty is the powerful protector."
"The Spanish armies are dispersed; the English troops are re-embarked, after having lost the half of their forces, their horses, baggage, ammunition, and a great part of their treasure."
"The Rhenish confederacy has nothing to fear; its august protector will defend its limits with more than sufficient force."
"The imperial court of Austria will probably return to a system on which depends the general tranquility. Nevertheless, it is indispensably necessary, in the present state of affairs, and his imperial and royal majesty desires, that the princes of the confederacy of the Rhine, form their contingents, and hold them ready to march."
"Having the honour to communicate to you by the present, the cheering disposition of your august protector, and the demands which are joined to it, I seize this occasion of giving you the assurances of my high and perfect consideration."

In a fine and Valuable FARM,

THE Subscriber is disposed to sell his Plantation called LEVEL GREEN, situated in the county of Princess Anne. It contains about 500 acres; and, as it may be advantageously divided into two or three Farms, the subscriber will accommodate a purchaser, in selling either the whole or a part. He will also give a good credit. This tract of Land is certainly the most desirable in the county, lying on the Eastern branch of Elizabeth River, and distant from Norfolk Market only five or six miles by water, and 8 or 9 by land—The soil is excellent, about one half of the tract being cleared land, and fit for immediate culture; the other heavily timbered with Oak, Pine, Ash, and Hickory—It has also the advantage of several good landings—Any one disposed to view the land, and to purchase, may apply, in the absence of the subscriber, to James Robinson, or John READ, who reside in the neighbourhood.

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.
Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings.
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 hazards will give a general idea of the rates 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 engines 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.
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 occupiers; 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 manufactory 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 the true value 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 ratable 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, Ready 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 as particular an 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 procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most 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 verily believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, 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, of
false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution or payment, by virtue of his policy.
XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss, damage, it may be submitted to the judgement 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.
