From the N. Y. Morning Chronicle,
A REPUBLICAN PAPER.
Pennsylvania Politicks.
The success of the constitutionalists in the state of Pennsylvania must afford the highest satisfaction to every patriot bosom. In this we discern not only the triumph of the honest of the republican party over a lawless faction, but also the complete triumph of correct principles and views over error and delusion.
It may be well for a moment to consider the events which have taken place, and from them draw a useful lesson for ourselves. The machinations of a band of desperate individuals, headed by Duane, had greatly convulsed the state, and jeopardized its political safety. The friends of liberty and law viewed with apprehension the gathering storm, which, collecting all that was rotten in principle and bad in practice, assumed a formidable aspect, and threatened not only to overwhelm that state, but extend its ravages throughout the union.
The daring spirits who led this factious band commenced their career by attacking the firmest republicans, men respected for their services, who stood high in office, and fair in reputation. McKean, Dallas, and other eminent official characters were openly denounced, and marked for destruction. It was their intention to march over the fallen honours of those republican functionaries, to the seat, of power, and, with a high hand, to new model the publick affairs. The laws long established were to be radically altered, and the constitution demolished. In this novel arrangement learning and talents were to be proscribed, not only as useless, but dangerous to this strange spirit of reformation. Perhaps it was well for those modern principles of order and good government, that very little of either was to be found amongst them.
To promote their views and cement their strength, they made partizans of the restless and turbulent in other states, and had their slanders republished by the profligate printers in various parts of the union. It was their wish to persuade the good people of Pennsylvania that all parts were interested in their success, and wished well to the desperate cause in which they were engaged. Cheetham, the pupil and servant of Duane, faithfully re-echoed the sentiments of the Aurora, and prophesied the downfall of the governor and legislature of Pennsylvania. Ah! how often has this high priest of Belial been betrayed by a lying spirit!
So great a clamour was raised by Duane and the terrorists, that they became at length deafened by their own noise, and imagined their own acclamations to be the shouts of the people—deluded by imaginary strength they became bold & fearless; at once developed their plans, and openly avowed, that their intention was, to annihilate law, and trample on the constitution. Alarmed by such exterminating doctrine, which at once laid the axe at the rights of personal security, and personal property, the good sense of that people, which had been for a long time smothered, burst forth, and the late election has forever disappointed the schemes of faction and covered them with confusion and defeat.
It was laughable to see the dying agonies of Duane. He beseeched the Germans, in the name of Snyder, and all that was dear, not to desert their countrymen.—He harrangued the Irish, and told them his candidate, tho' a Dutchman, was an Hibernian in principle. He called upon the society of Friends to support a man who was an enemy to lawyers, and who would tolerate all species of religion, and every thing else that might be required. He invoked the departed heroes of 76—but they never rose to his assistance—they are blessed spirits, that only minister to pure and kindred souls. He raved with all the fury of Dæmoniac madness, and his friend Thomas Paine, the enemy of christianity, and the disciple of modern perfectibility, filled the columns of the Aurora with the vilest slanders, sanctioned by the weighty recommendation of his name.
As the battle waxed warm, and the friends of the people grew faint, Duane, ever inconsistent, openly recanted, and declared, that even if his faction prevailed, the constitution should be respected, and preserved inviolate. All would not answer—The people believed the constitution and government would be safe in better and purer hands; and in those hands have placed them—The schemes of faction are blasted.—The constitution of Pennsylvania is safe—The triumph of principle is complete—McKean is re-elected.
From the London Morning Herald of August, 15, 1805.
TO THE AMERICAN MERCHANTS.
Gentlemen,
The flagrant deception and false information which we too frequently receive from captains of American ships, has now become proverbial; while we have good reason to suspect that they are infinitely more ingenious in the information they give to our enemies. To this in part, perhaps, may be attributed
the late regretted escape of the Rochefort squadron, the intelligence the French seem to have in regard to the state of our ports, and the frequent capture of our merchantmen in the West-India seas; not to mention the anxiety and uneasiness which many individuals often experience in this country, from the scandalous falsehoods industriously reported by American ships entering into our own ports.—This conduct, as disgraceful to the Americans as it is insulting to this country, ought to be instantly checked; and in my humble opinion, it is in your power to put a most effectual stop to it.—We cannot suppose the great body of Americans to be inimical to this country, and favourable to France, much less the commercial interest; since it is in a great measure owing to British capital, that their commerce has attained that height, and at present maintains that consequence which it does throughout the world; it can, therefore, be only a few turbulent spirits, and the ignorant, who are inimical to this country, and would wish to deceive us by false information, or benefit the enemy by true. I therefore humbly submit, that in the agreement with the captains and mates of your respective vessels, there should be inserted a pre-emptory clause, declaring, that if it is ever proved that any of them have wilfully given false information to any British fleet, cruiser, or merchant vessel, or have spread false reports injurious to this country, upon entering any port whatever, in that case their wages to be forfeited, themselves to be discharged from the vessels, and notice thereof to be stuck up at the Royal Exchange to serve at the same time as a disgrace to them, and a caveat to others; while, perhaps, it would be advisable, on the other hand, to bestow an honorary, or substantial reward, according to the nature of the service, to such of your captains as give any information advantageous to this country. American ships having free ingress and egress to the enemy's ports, as well as our own, may be capable of giving very essential information; but at any rate they ought to be prevented from abusing the credulity of the people here, or directing our merchant ships into the track of the French cruisers.
I conceive that no man concerned in British commerce, be his country or nativity what it may, can possibly find fault with such a regulation, as it is the bounden duty of every servant to pay attention to his employer's interest and commands; and I will be bold to say, that if all the American merchants in London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Bristol, &c. with their respective partners in America, were rigorously to pursue this system, before three months elapsed we would be sensible of very beneficial consequences, as sure as I am

LEO THE TENTH.
E. BRONSON,
IS PREPARING TO PUBLISH, FROM THE
LORENZO PRESS,
"The Life and Pontificate of Leo the Tenth,"
BY WILLIAM ROSCOE."
CONDITIONS.
 This work will be elegantly printed in octavo, upon a new type and superior woven paper.  It will be comprised in four volumes of about 480 pages each.  Each volume will be ornamented with an elegant copperplate engraving by Mr. Edwin. The engravings are portraits of LEO X. ALBUS, one of the first printers, LUTHER, and RAPHAEL, taken from original paintings.  The price will be two dollars and fifty cents a volume in boards. To such, however, as may choose to become subscribers before the publication of the second volume, the work will be delivered at two dollars a volume.  The work will be put to press immediately, and the first volume will be ready for subscribers in a few weeks. 
The Editor is the only person, as he believes, in the United States who possesses a copy of this original, elegant and interesting work. This copy, which is in quarto, was sent out from England before the publication of the work there, and could not be sold in this country at less than from forty to fifty dollars. Considering the time which must elapse before the English copy can be imported for sale, and the immense difference in price between that and the proposed edition, the editor flatters himself with a belief that his will meet with liberal encouragement and a rapid sale.

JUST RECEIVED,

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1805.
The Foreign Intelligence , which has been received down to the 2d of September, and published in this day's paper, is highly interesting, inasmuch as containing such a variety of corroborating circumstances, indicating a continental coalition against France, that we can scarcely doubt that before this day actual hostilities have commenced.
A combination so powerful on the continent, as Austria, Russia, and Sweden, must no doubt excite serious reflections in the French cabinet, but will certainly call forth a repetition of those wonderful energies, which the French nation has so often displayed, since the commencement of the revolution. We have seen with what facility France has resisted confederacies equally formidable, not only resisted, but destroyed them, and triumphing in war, she has imposed peace upon the powers opposed to her, upon terms that shewed that she dictated them. This was done at a time, when France was divided by factions, and the torch of civil war burning in her own bosom. We see her, now at peace within, and the destinies of the nation confided to one of those wonderful men, who uniting so many great qualities in war and politics, must inspire a confidence in the nation, that will make the issue of the conflict very problematical. This confederacy will be noxious to the evils, which all confederacies are, the want of unanimity in council, concert in action, and similarity of interests. While on the side of France there can be but one opinion in council, her movements in every instance will be directed by one hand, and she will have but one interest to pursue. While the confederates are deliberating, France will be in action, and without the allies are better prepared than is expected, we shall not be surprised to hear, that some decisive blow has been struck by her armies, that will have a preponderating influence on the future operations of the war.
The attention of both parties will be turned to the king of Prussia, and what will be his conduct it is not so easy to predict, in judging from his past conduct, the confederates have nothing to hope for from him. That he has been partial to France for a long time, we cannot doubt, for though kings may dissemble for a while, the uniform conduct of Prussia, for so many years, and under all the changes in the French government, leave no doubt upon our minds, that the king of Prussia will determine to adhere to his system of neutrality; the experiment of forcing him from that system, will not be attempted without weighing the consequences, and surely neither side will choose to make him an enemy; hence he will continue to enjoy those advantages which his physical strength enables him to command, in defiance of the menaces and intrigues of contending parties.
In this great conflict, in which so large a portion of the civilized world will be engaged, it is natural that we should turn our attention with solicitude to our own country. Our neutral rights are treated with such indignity and injustice, that it does not appear probable that we can suffer more than we now feel.
Yet we apprehend that we are to experience additional restrictions in our commerce. This important confederacy has been formed upon mature deliberation, and without doubt, having for its settled purpose, the abridgment of French power and influence. In pursuit of this end, we are to calculate upon the employment of means, which will be felt by us. The confederacy being determined on their object, will not regard the nice rules of justice as to neutrals, who have not the means of commanding respect. France has given abundant proofs of her total disregard of the rights of other nations, and of ours in particular, that it is not to be expected that on the present occasion, she will more respect us, unless what may be extorted from her fears. When we speak of France, we would include Spain. The maritime force of Great Britain, Russia and Sweden, must put an end to naval enterprise on the part of France and her dependencies. The marine of Great Britain, will be directed against the colonies, and the commerce of her enemies, which must depend on neutrals for support and existence. Sensible of the power to annoy their enemy in this way, we shall not be surprised to hear of restrictions imposed by the confederates, that will very seriously affect our rights and interests. The recent restrictions we fear are but the commencement of rigid measures, and will be followed up by others, that will put an end to all intercourse with the colonies of France, Spain and Holland, or render it so precarious, that prudent men will not engage in it. While on the other hand, the piracies of French and Spanish cruisers, will continue to the ruin of our other commerce. In such a state of things, the wisdom and firmness of our councils, and the unanimity of the people would be our sure dependence. We shall not anticipate what our administration will do, but even should we be reduced to the state of things which has been described, the situation would not be new. The federal administrations were at no loss how to extricate the nation from such difficulties; to Great Britain, we presented a mild but firm aspect; her interest if not her justice, was awakened, our differences were settled, and war, in which neither would have profited, but both must have suffered, was avoided. France determined to continue in her unjust conduct, and was taught reason by the thunder of our cannon, and the gallantry of our seamen. But those measures were not adopted without heavy expenses, those brought taxes, and those again furnished the fawning demagogues with an excuse to complain; the people were persuaded that their armies and navies, so essential to the safety of the nation, were the instruments of ambition, and by such measures, and such means, the federal administration was destroyed. We are now to see,
in what manner our commerce will be protected and our rights respected, and what measures will be adopted by those who are now in power.
At Richmond we understand, much interest is excited, in fixing on the next Governor of the State. Richard Brent, Wilson C. Nicholas, and Alexander M'Rae, Esquires, are the candidates spoken of. It is thought the first will be elected. We further understand, that a convention upon the plan of that proposed in Pennsylvania is talked of, and will be certainly brought on during the ensuing session of the Legislature. We must depend upon "THE UNION OF HONEST MEN" to defeat this project.
We mention with pleasure, that General Ferrand, has caused the sloop George of this port, and her cargo, captured by a French privateer, to be restored. It is no more than justice to remark, that so far as the conduct of this General has come under our notice, we can say, that he is disposed to respect our rights, this is the second vessel belonging to this port, which he has caused to be restored.
The London papers make bitter complaints against the masters of American vessels, for giving false information respecting the French fleets; although we cannot approve of falsehood, we cannot forbear remarking that our masters of vessels are frequently exposed to treatment that excites their resentment. They cannot forgive the impressment of their people, and detention of their vessels. In order to secure their good will, it is necessary for the commanders of the ships of war to desist from interrupting our commerce.
LIFE OF WASHINGTON. —We observe the fourth volume of that work has been some time since in Charleston. We have not understood that it has reached this place.
WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE LOTTERY. —We understand that at the District Court at Williamsburg, the Court decided that the drawing should be considered as valid—that the managers should pay the Prize of Ten Thousand Dollars that was drawn to the owner of the ticket drawn against it, and that the other Ten Thousand Dollar Prize should belong to the owner of the last drawn ticket; from this opinion an appeal was taken, and the cause will be argued on the 7th of next month before the Court of Appeals.
SAVANNAH, October 12. On the 10th inst. arrived here from the Creek nation, col. BEN. HAWKINS, with 4 Indian chiefs, and 3 interpreters—they left town yesterday morning for the city of Washington.
CHARLESTON, October 14. Yesterday arrived, the British sloop of war Petrel, capt. Lamborne, and the American ship Two Friends, capt. M'Neill, both from Kingston, Jamaica. On Saturday, at one o'clock, off North Edisto, the Petrel, was engaged by the French privateer schooner, which has been cruising off this port for some days past. The privateer ran along side, and attempted to board, when a broadside from the Petrel was poured into her, which made great havoc among her crew.—The action lasted about twenty minutes, when the Frenchman sheered off, and set all sail to escape. The sloop of war gave chase, which was continued for some hours, but by tacking and maneuvering she got the weather-gage of the ship and escaped. Lieutenant Maitland, and one man, of the Petrel, were killed in the skirmish, and four men wounded—one of which supposed mortally. The remains of lieut. M. are now on board. When the privateer attempted to board, one Frenchman more forward than the rest, sprang into one of the port-holes, and is now a prisoner on board the Petrel. The privateer is the Superb, capt. Dominique, the same that captured the brig Jane of Baltimore, a short time since. They took the Petrel for a Guineaman, nor did they discover their mistake till they had got long side.—When they found her to be a ship of war, one of the French officers attempted to haul down the privateer's colours, but the captain instantly blew out his brains. The privateer received much injury in the action, had her larboard bow beat in, and had a great number of her men killed and wounded.
October 15. The remains of lieut. Maitland, of the British sloop of war Petrel, who was killed on Saturday last, were yesterday brought on shore and deposited in the burial ground of St. Philip's Church—they were attended to the grave by a detachment of marines and seamen from the sloop of war; minute-guns were fired on board the ship during the moving of the procession, and the shipping in the harbour displayed their flags at half-mast on the occasion, as a mark of respect to the deceased, who is stated to have been a brave and worthy officer.
NASSAU, (N. P.) Sept. 8. COURT OF VICE-ADMIRALTY. The brig Unanimous, Grant, master; sch'r Olive Branch, Smith, master; and sch'r Mary, Robertson, master; captured by the privateer ship of war Alexandrine, M'Kee, commander, in the port of Nevitas (Cuba) and sent into this port for adjudication.
The masters of the brig Unanimous and schooner Olive Branch, after having been examined upon the standing interrogatories, abandoned their ships and departed from these islands: The court of admiralty, not finding sufficient grounds for condemnation in the allegation of Mr. Kerr, the counsel for the captors, could not decree restitution for want of claim—but, by an interlocutory decree, directed the vessels to be sold, and the proceeds lodged in the registry of the admiralty,
to abide the farther order of the court, and time granted for the interposing of a claim in behalf of the true and lawful proprietors.
The master of the Mary interposed a claim to his ship, the cargo having, by the crew of the privateer, been taken from the king of Spain's stores at Nevitas, and shipped in her. The court, in this cause, decreed restitution of the ship to the claimant, and directed 1027 dollars, to be paid to the master, by the captors, for freight and demurrage.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, August 27.
It has been reported, that a neutral vessel had arrived from Holland, with the intelligence that Austria had already declared war against France; and that a number of French troops who had been embarked in the Dutch ports, had, in consequence of the hostile aspect on the continent, been re-embarked, and marched to reinforce the army in Hanover. Though hostilities may be immediately expected, we are not inclined to believe that any certain account of their having commenced, or of war having been declared, has yet been received. Hostilities will, most likely, take place without any formal declaration of war.
There is a strong report, that lord Spencer has joined the present administration, and that his lordship is to be placed at the head of the admiralty. He was this day at the admiralty office, in company with Lord Nelson.
The private letters by the mails of yesterday are more explicit than the printed journals are, or indeed dare to be, respecting the military movements on the continent. It is the general opinion, in the north of Germany, that the fleet in the Baltic is to cover the disembarkation of a Russian army, either in the Swedish Pomerania, or the Duchy of Mecklenburgh. If a measure of that decided character were resorted to, we would soon be able to discover what part of the court of Berlin would be likely to take in the approaching war. His Prussian majesty (so says the continental politicians in the French interest) is determined not only to adhere to his system of neutrality, but to maintain the tranquillity of the north of Germany, and to take such measures as may prevent it from being made the focus of war by any power whatever.
If such be the determination of that Prince, the sincerity of it is likely to be soon put to the proof. It is said that a categorical answer has been demanded of his Prussian majesty by the emperor Alexander, as to the line of conduct which he would pursue in case the Russian armies should advance into the north of Germany. What was the nature of the answer, if any has been given, has not transpired; but the preparations of the court of St. Petersburg are continued with the same activity as if she were assured of the acquiescence of Prussia, or regardless of her opposition. If Prussia shall oppose the occupation of Pomerania by the Russian army, she must inevitably be involved in the war; and that the emperor Alexander has determined to occupy it, is a prevailing opinion in the north of Germany; but whether in consequence of an actual sale by Sweden, or of a temporary cession, arranged for the purposes of the war, is not yet certainly known.
The military situation of Austria has never been more respectable than it is at present. Her efficient army, far exceeding three hundred thousand men, is admirably disciplined and conditioned; and, what is no less essential, is animated by a spirit never yet observed in it. All the useless exercise has been abolished; a concise, but much more effectual manual has been introduced; all superfluous baggage, and servants are dismissed, and all officers below the rank of captain are obliged to march. A system of dress better suited to the fatigues and inconveniences of a campaign, has been established for the soldiers; they wear their hair short; and all those tormenting minutiae, which, however pleasing to the view, added nothing to their strength, are henceforth to be dispensed with. The whole of the Austrian army are eager for battle, and some pains have been taken to infuse into them that ardent spirit.
The Moniteur has very suddenly changed the pacific tone which so recently characterised its political remarks, and we are now assured, that the armaments of Austria in the Tyrol and Italy, are to be considered as the commencement of hostilities. Upon this occasion the duplicity of the Corsican is no less remarkable than in any former instance, and, as we suspected, the calm of the moment is followed by a thunder-storm. The detention of American vessels by our government, freighted from the colonial possessions of France, both in the East and West Indies, has given rise to sentiments which must be received not only as official, but as little short of a declaration of war. Austria must be prepared for the dangers with which she is threatened, and her determination must be irrevocable to make every sacrifice and run every risk, rather than submit any longer to the insatiable rapacity and unbounded arrogance of Buonaparte.
While we lament the remoteness of Russia, which prevents that immediate co-operation from which so much is expected, it must prove the source of no inconsiderable satisfaction that, according to the admission of France herself, the cabinet of Vienna has made the most formidable preparations. In the actual conjuncture of affairs, it is the promptitude and decision of Buonaparte which are most to be dreaded, and that he will take the earliest opportunity of striking an important blow, particularly on the side of Italy, we do not entertain a doubt.
It is extremely difficult to anticipate the line of conduct which his Prussian majesty will pursue. His neutrality alone would be a desirable object, and he may, from a conviction that he himself will ultimately be the victim of French aggrandizement, be induced to witness the prosecution of the war without taking an active part. He would then hold the balance in his own hands, and he might, by contributing to the successes of Austria and Russia, should Buonaparte be deserted by his good fortune, acquire as great an extension to his power as by the most ample concessions of France. It was this morning reported that a declaration of war had been issued by the Emperor of Austria. We attach no credit to this rumour, and we are inclined to think if any declaration be published, that it will first be issued by Napoleon.
The farther despatches from admiral Villeneuve, respecting the battle of the 22nd, and his subsequent operations, tend merely to confirm his defeat, and to expose his losses; yet he sets up claims to victory. It is not a little curious, however, in the midst of these claims, to find him making this observation—"I am still at a loss to comprehend how it was we lost the two ships that are missing." This, it is true, is a difficulty in the way of the French admiral's pretensions which he cannot easily get over. Perhaps Buonaparte may make it the foundation of a question for the National Institute, a reference which would be the more judicious at the present moment, as a second meeting between the combined fleets and Sir Robert Calder would afford that sagacious assembly some other problems of the same kind to solve! These despatches leave no longer any doubt of the combined fleets having been in Vigo, which they entered on the 28th. They sailed from Vigo on the 31st, and appear to have gone into Ferrol and Coruna on the 2d instant.—On the 13th, as we have already stated, they were reconnoitred off Ferrol by captain Brace, of the Iris, having then just left port.
August 28.
The object of the Brest fleet in their movement of the 21st, which we noticed yesterday, was evidently to prevent admiral Cornwallis from sending to points where they might be wanted, any considerable detachments. Had they seriously intended to bring him to action, they had the most favourable opportunity.—With a superiority of three sail of the line, for ours consisted of 18 only, they had also, in the event of defeat, a ready and secure retreat for their disabled ships. The movement appears to have been combined with the activity which was observed among admiral De Winter's squadron in the Texel on the subsequent day. The French government was, in all probability, acquainted with the sailing of the combined fleet from Ferrol, and the movements both at Brest and the Texel were executed as nearly as possible at the same time, in order to induce us to keep the whole of our force collected before these two harbours. Intelligence might have reached Paris from Ferrol in seven or eight days, and a telegraphick despatch would communicate the order to the commander in chief at Brest, in the course of a few hours. It might have been also transmitted with a similar rapidity to the Texel. As the combined squadrons sailed on the 13th, there were nearly 9 days for conveying the information. We have had occasion to remark, that among the conjectures hazarded respecting the destination of Villeneuve's fleet, that of a junction with the force in Brest was highly improbable. The despatches received from admiral Cornwallis, refute it completely. And had that been his object, the attempt would have been made before the 21st.
CONFEDERACY AGAINST FRANCE.
Some private letters have within these few days been received from Paris, which state, that scarcely a day has passed for some time back, in which a courier has not been despatched to Germany, or arrived from that country. Conferences have repeatedly been held between Talleyrand and the Austrian Prussian, and Bavarian ambassadors. It is confidently said, that the language of Talleyrand towards Count Cobentzel approaches nearer to the tone and style formerly used in negotiations between independent and civilized states. It is not, however, supposed that the Usurper absolutely fears a contest with Austria and Russia exclusively, but that he has strong reasons for apprehending that the first cannon fired against the Emperor of Germany will be the signal for the formation of a more extensive confederation against France than in 1798.
Offers of the most tempting kind have, it is understood, been made to Prussia and Bavaria, but have not only been received with coldness, but declined with a firmness that was by no means expected; and hence it has been supposed that Talleyrand has grounds for suspecting that these States have actually entered into some secret engagements of a conditional nature, but which are certainly not very favourable to the views of France. It is well known that great discontents prevail in Spain, as well as in Italy, Switzerland and Holland. But what is still more alarming to the Usurper, Moreau does not appear to be so entirely forgotten by the French armies as Buonaparte seemed to suppose; they pity the fall, and lament the disgrace of a general whose military talents they revere; and they certainly begin to be weary of their present state of incertitude; yet, notwithstanding all these reasons for reflection, if not for alarm, the Usurper has 484,000 troops, according to the last quarterly report, completely armed and ready to march, and he perhaps would be

willing to risk a continental war, if he had commanders in whom he could absolutely confide, and who possessed the confidence of the troops in general; but, except Jourdan and Bernadotte, whose Jacobinical fanaticism is well known, almost all his principal generals are novi homines in the military annals of France, having, at the utmost, only headed divisions and brigades.
August 29.
The arrangements between this country and Russia are, we are assured, already formed; and the first payment of the subsidy of the latter is now preparing to be sent to Petersburg. Great quantities of dollars are collecting for this purpose. Several of the cabinet ministers are now at Weymouth, with the king, in consequence of the very satisfactory nature of the last advices received from Russia. His majesty, we understand, means shortly to return to town.
We have already communicated the intention of government to assemble a considerable number of transports for the conveyance of troops, and we are now enabled to state that the most active measures have been adopted by the Transport Board for carrying it into effect. The whole of the tonnage to be contracted for amounts to forty thousand tons, of which ten thousand are actually engaged. The agents have received notice that the vessels will be wanted for 3 months, at the end of which, government is to be at liberty, should it be necessary, to enlarge the time. In the former case, the transports are engaged at twenty, and in the latter, at fifteen shillings per ton. The Nore is fixed upon as the place of general rendezvous, and their destination is Revel and Riga, whence they will proceed with Russian troops, to Swedish Pomerania.
We cannot undertake to say whether any subsidiary arrangement has been concluded with Austria, but the first instalment of that settled with Russia and Sweden will certainly be sent off in the course of next week. It will be issued chiefly in dollars, of which a very great quantity is collected in the bank of England.
A report, to which much credit is attached, that Russia, Austria and Sweden, have determined to demand an unequivocal declaration of his Prussian majesty of the part he means to take in the war, and in the event of his refusing or of his adhering to his system of neutrality, to march an army through his dominions, is unsupported by any satisfactory authority. It appears, on the contrary, to be directly opposite to every sound principle of policy which should regulate the conduct of the confederated powers. The marching of an army by force through the Prussian territories would inevitably compel the cabinet of Berlin to join France with the whole of its strength, while under apparent circumstances, the neutrality of Prussia must be a measure highly favourable to the success of the intended operations of Bonaparte. It is not at all improbable that a formal explanation either has been, or will be, shortly demanded of the king of Prussia, but we can discover no reason for thinking, should he decline an explicit declaration, or communicate his resolution to remain neutral, that therefore he will be forced to take part in the war. The threat itself would totally alienate Prussia from the common cause, if she really wishes well to it, and the execution of it could only tend to render France, by the junction of the Prussian army, so very formidable, as to defy the greatest possible efforts of the confederacy.
The fleet under the command of admiral Cornwallis will, in a short time, be adequate to every probable exigency. The Triumph and Audacious, of 74 guns, have sailed from Plymouth, to join our force off Brest. The Bellona and Repulse, were to sail this day from Spithead, and the Hero, all of the same force, are to sail to-morrow.
Lord Nelson is immediately to resume his command in the Mediterranean with increased powers. His lordship's command is now to extend to Cadiz Bay.
Lord Gardner shortly returns to Ireland in the Topaze frigate, to resume his command on that station.
The Didon frigate, which capt. Baker so gallantly fought and defeated, is known to be one of the quickest sailing frigates in the French navy. It was the Didon that sailed from L'Orient to Martinique in 26 days, with intelligence of lord Nelson's having passed the Straits, and on her return she was despatched from Ferrol, on the day the combined fleets reached that port, in search of fresh intelligence respecting the movements of our fleets. On this service she was met by the Phoenix, and the sharpness of the action that ensued, may be gathered from the number of her killed and wounded, which is stated at 160, while her antagonist had but 30. The Didon was now cover-dismasted and left in a most disabled state, which must retard the progress of the Phoenix that has her in tow. Indeed this circumstance together with their being so near the combined squadrons, yesterday gave rise to some apprehensions that both might fall into the hands of the enemy.
HAMBURG.
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS.
"I am enabled to state, on the authority of an officer of high rank, that all the Danish troops in the territories of Holstein and Schleswig, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march. A Russian courier having brought very important dispatches to Copenhagen, an express was immediately sent off by the prime minister to the prince royal, who was with the princess in the German part of the Danish dominions, requesting his immediate return to Copenhagen.
Great movements have been of late observed among the French troops in Hanover; and it is strongly suspected to be the Corsican's intention to march an army into Holstein, and occupy Gluckstadt, Husum, and Toningen, so as to shut up every communication with Great Britain, and even to blockade the Sound from the land side. This plan of operations, which is said to have been offered to Buonaparte by gen. Schauenburg, has received his full approbation; but the court of St. Petersburg having been informed of it, the most positive orders were sent to the Danes to defend the neutrality and independence of their territory. The politics of the court of Berlin are still undecided, but a categorical answer has been demanded of Frederick William, by Alexander I.
"I have just seen a letter from Paris, received by the last mail, which states that the greater part of Buonaparte's council of state continue to be hostile to the projected expedition against England. Buonaparte assembled that body previous to his departure for Boulogne, and, upon their endeavouring to dissuade him from the attempt, he was seized with one of his usual paroxysms of rage, approaching almost to phrenzy. He lavished upon his unfortunate counsellors a torrent of the most abusive epithets, and announced to them his determination to set off instantly for Boulogne to superintend the embarkation. The letter describes the scene which occurred on this occasion, as exceeding, in point of extravagance every previous display of the irascible temper of the Corsican. He gnashed his teeth, foamed at the mouth, and actually tore the cover off the chair on which he was seated. The troops in the vicinity of Boulogne are now stated to exceed 150,000 men. They are formed in three divisions, which respectively assume the titles of army of England, army of Scotland, and army of Ireland.
"Our letters from Holland state, that couriers arrive almost daily from Boulogne at the Helder, with dispatches relative to the expedition fitting out there. The troops were to be reviewed on the 13th, for the last time previous to their embarkation. The grand Pensionary was expected to attend upon this occasion.
"Intelligence has been received here, that a Russian fleet of 18 sail of the line is actually cruising in the Baltic. There were lately launched at Cronstadt, one 74 gun ship, one 60, and one frigate. The military preparations throughout the Russian dominions continue with unabated activity. Generals Buxhowden, Kutusow, and Lascy, were lately summoned to attend a council of war at St. Petersburg, at the breaking up of which they repaired to the frontiers, to superintend the assembling of the different armies put under their command.
"According to advices from Vienna of the 7th inst. the emperor of Germany, on the 3d, granted a private audience to the French ambassador at the town of Baden, about fifteen miles from Vienna. Immediately after this interview with his imperial majesty, a courier was despatched to Paris. He is supposed to be the bearer of the ultimatum of his imperial majesty on the subject of his differences with France. It is rumoured, that Buonaparte has offered to make some important concessions on the side of Italy. Austria, however, does not appear to place much confidence in his pacific overtures. Her troops on the Italian frontier are receiving daily reinforcements. The garrison of Venice by the latest accounts, had been increased to 13,000 men, consisting principally of Hungarians; and the fortifications of St. Giorgio Maggiore were rapidly repairing. General Crauch has been appointed second in command in the Tyrolese. But, notwithstanding these warlike appearances on the part of Austria, the French partizans in Germany circulate a report, that Francis II. is dissatisfied with the abrupt return of Novoziltzoff, and has communicated to the emperor Alexander his wish that some further effort should be made to mediate a peace between England and France."
September 1.
It was mentioned yesterday at the East India House, that admiral Calder had instructions to meet the homeward bound East India fleet in a given latitude, which he had reached by this time, to convoy it safe into port with the squadron of admiral Ranier. In such case, hopes might yet be entertained that he will fall in with the combined squadron, as the general opinion is that it is gone to intercept our homeward bound East India trade. If its object was to raise the blockade of Brest, intelligence to that effect must have been received long before the present period. The demonstration made by the Texel fleet and the Brest fleet to put to sea, was merely to divert our attention from the combined squadrons, and had no relation to the invasion.
The affair of the 22d, between admiral Cornwallis and the Brest fleet, was more serious than the Bulletin published by government, led us to suppose. The gallant admiral himself, in the Ville de Paris, led the van, and had nearly cut off the French rear-admiral. He was nobly supported by sir Richard Strachan, in the Cæsar, who requested permission, by signal to range next to him in the line. The other ships principally engaged were, the Namur, Captain and Montague. The Captain had recently joined the fleet, and distinguished herself very much. Her fire was the most tremendous ever witnessed; she appeared one entire blaze. Part of a shell struck admiral Cornwallis upon the breast, but fortunately did him no injury. The Cæ-
sar had three men killed and seven wounded. The Ville de Paris and the Namur had several wounded, but none killed. They received several shot in their hulls and sails. The French fleet only advanced just outside their batteries when the action commenced;—yea, had they not tacked and ran back so soon a general engagement must have ensued, or several of them must have been taken. The enemy, no doubt, suffered severely as our fleet were enabled to rake them. The Montague, capt. Otway, followed them close in under their batteries, constantly exchanging shots with them. Had the least accident happened to any, even of the topmasts of three rear ships of the enemy's fleet, it is tho't that they must have fallen into our hands.
A vessel arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, states, that on the 21st, she fell in with the Defiance, one of Sir Robert Calder's fleet, about seven leagues from Corunna. There was no ship of the line in that port on the 20th.
All the letters from the fleet off Brest, state the masterly disposition of the gallant Cornwallis to have attacked the French fleet in Camaret bay, 21 sail of the line, covered and flanked as their anchorage was by numerous and heavy batteries, tier over tier, cut out of the live rock. The enemy anchored within the range of their batteries the night of the 21st inst. Admiral Cornwallis, or, as he is familiarly called by the Jacks, "Blue Billy," on perceiving this, very coolly stood in towards them, bearing down in line of battle, being determined to attack them at their anchorage. At day-break on the 22d inst. the veteran admiral then made the necessary signal to all his fleet of his determination, which was directly answered by every line of battle ship and repeating frigate. He then made a signal that the Ville de Paris, 110 guns, his own flag ship, would lead in the van division. The whole night was passed in serious and silent determination to wait with anxious solicitude for daylight, and the moment of beginning this formidable business; but when the day opened, the enemy were observed in some confusion, slipping their cables and anchors and running for Brest outer roads, from their strong position in Camaret bay, covered, no doubt, with glory, as usual; however, a partial action took place between the rear of the French fleet and part of our van, viz. the Ville de Paris, 110 guns; Cæsar, 84 guns, and Montague, 74 guns; had it been general, no doubt of its turning out a proud day for Old England.
PARIS, August 17.
Vice-Admiral Villemeneuve, to the Minister of Marine.
VIGO, July 28.
"I am now under way. I leave here two Spanish ships, and the French ship L'Atlas. These vessels have not suffered much in the action, but they sail badly, and I consider them as rather likely to delay the squadron than to reinforce it.
"I have disembarked here my sick.—The length of the voyage, and the badness of the weather, has caused a sickness among the troops, but those who have nothing but the scurvy, are in no danger, and will soon be restored by air and fresh provisions. I shall set out with 15 ships, of which two are Spanish, and if we have any affair on our voyage to Ferrol, with the squadron we have fought, we have nothing to fear.
"VILLENEUVE."
Rear-Admiral Gourdon, to the Minister of Marine and Colonies.
FERROL, August 2.
"My Lord, I have the honour to announce to your excellency, that admirals Villemeneuve and Gravina, have this moment anchored at Corunna. The English squadron re-appeared two days ago; it consisted of 13 ships of the line, but immediately on seeing the squadron of vice admiral Villemeneuve, it sailed again. It had, however, nothing to fear from the combined squadron in Ferrol, the wind being west and blowing fresh, which rendered it impossible for us to get out. We are all animated by an ardent desire to give his majesty proofs of our devotion for him, and our desire of enterprize for the glory of his flag.—Receive the assurances of my respect.
(Signed)
"GOURDON."
VIENNA, August 7.
The French ambassador has addressed to our government a note, couched in the most insolent terms, demanding a peremptory explanation of the objects of the warlike preparations going forward in the Austrian dominions, and the extraordinary activity in the military department. It also demands a peremptory answer whether it was the intention of Austria to go to war with France; whether any recent treaty had been concluded with Russia, or whether any alliance with that power was on the point of being concluded? The answer of the court of Vienna to these interrogatories was highly dignified. It stated, that the assembling of such large bodies of French troops had rendered precautions on the part of Austria indispensable. All the negotiations with Russia had solely for their object an armed neutrality, and that any more intimate connection with foreign powers must depend solely on circumstances.
Immediately after this answer was given, the French ambassador gave assurances that the greatest part of the French troops should quit Italy.
It is rumoured that the Republic of Ragusa, has applied to be incorporated with Austria, in imitation of the union of Genoa to France.

POLYGRAPHICK PAINTING. THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to execute, by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New-York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON, Supported by Liberty, Virtue, and Justice. Virtue is holding the emblem of the reward he merited. In the right of the piece, America, characterised as an Ab-original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is Painting turning to History, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer, "THERE IS NONE MORE WORTHY THAN WASHINGTON." The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public. To those who esteem his publick services and his private worth, and to the Patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a Painting, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil painting—that it requires no glass—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures. The price also is reduced so as to leave, on comparative merits, no objection. Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is very little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Corrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia, and Bonsal, Conrad & Co. of Norfolk. Philadelphia, June 4. 1805. 1aw1N. 777
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE Portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, by the same process, on subscription, of Four dollars and fifty cents each. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most perfect likenesses of this amiable couple. * The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself, in the United States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts, without finding a master of it. By this Art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine, the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed. Philadelphia, June 4. 1805. 1aw1N. 777
