THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, IN FORM AND PRESSURE.
SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 6, 1806.
On account of an accident which happened in the Office yesterday, we were compelled to postpone the publication of the Ledger until THIS MORNING.
Since our last publication we have been favoured with Liverpool papers to the 11th of October, received by the Ship Francis, Captain Curtis. Extracts from which will be found in the succeeding columns.
By the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS information has been received that sundry persons, citizens of the United States, or residents within the same are conspiring or confederating together to begin and set on foot, provide and prepare the means for a military expedition or enterprise against the dominions of Spain...
In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents, and have signed the same with my hand. Given at the city of Washington on the twenty-seventh day of November one thousand eight hundred and six...
TH: JEFFERSON. By the President, JAMES MADISON. Secretary of State.
It is confidently stated, that the French minister at Washington has intimated to our executive, that the rescinding of the St. Domingo law would not be displeasing to him or his court. The reason alleged for this condescension is that, since the passage of the interditory statute, the trade has fallen entirely into the hands of the British adventurers...
CIRCULAR NOTE. Addressed to their Majesties, Imperial and Royal Highnesses, Dukes and most serene Princes, associated in the Confederation of the Rhine, on the part of the Prince Primate of the Confederation.
The Prince Primate of the Confederation has the honour to inform their majesties, imperial and serene highnesses, &c. &c. that his minister plenipotentiary baron D'Albin repaired to Frankfort at the beginning of this month, to make preparations in his name for the opening of the Diet...
If the formation of a fundamental statute cannot be the work of a day, and that an object of such importance requires the most mature reflection, it is, notwithstanding, equally true, that it is desirable that the confederation should from its commencement be established upon an immovable basis.
wisdom of the confederated kings and princes never to allow a passage to foreign troops, though even disarmed, without the consent of the entire confederation? And, finally, if it be not also conformable to the dignity of independent sovereigns...
If the Diet of Frankfort should hereafter apply to his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, as protector, to obtain his guarantee of such an inviolability of the territory of the confederation...
The Prince Primate submits these observations to the kings, princes, &c. associated in the Confederation of the Rhine, and will always feel happy if his zealous and disinterestedness can deserve their confidence and approbation.
CHARLES. Aschaffenburg, Sept. 18, 1806.
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
Received at the office of the Publick Ledger, by the ship Francis, Captain Curtis, 51 days from Liverpool.
LONDON, October 3. The Hamburg mail, due on Wednesday, arrived this morning with letters and papers to the 27th, announces the important intelligence of the departure of the king of Prussia from Berlin...
October 4. The Gazette of this evening contains the following letters, transmitted by admiral sir Charles Cotton, bart. to William, Marsden, esq.
Sir, I have the honour to inform you with my falling in with the French frigate Le President, of forty-four guns, three hundred and thirty men, commanded by Monsieur Gallier Labrosse...
The President is one of the frigates that sailed from France with the Regulus, Sybille, and Surveillante corvette; separated in a gale of wind on the 30th of August, in lat. 22 deg. 26 min. N. and lon. 55 deg. W.
Sir, Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, I had the good fortune of falling in with a squadron of the enemy standing to the Westward...
It is on the Saxon frontier that the French seem to be assembled in greatest force. The troops who had made an oblique movement from Anspach towards the Maine, have suddenly returned to their former cantonments.
more a-head of the Centaur, and the Mars on the starboard-bow. At day light we made them out five large French frigates, and two corvettes, one of which bearing a broad pendant; at five the Monarch fired a few chace shot; and at six the weathermost frigate hauled more to the westward...
It was just before this I received a severe wound in my right arm, (since amputated, and doing well I hope) which obliged me to leave the deck; the Mars previous to this, had succeeded in capturing her chace, and with her prize, hauled towards the Centaur...
I cannot add too much praise to captain Lee, of the Monarch, for his gallant & officer-like conduct, but I am sorry to find his loss has been rather severe...
To captain Lukin, of the Mars, I feel thankful, for his steady conduct and attention; and I have also to express my satisfaction at the endeavours of captains Boyle, King, Sir John Gore, and Mansfield...
To lieutenant Case, first of the Centaur, I have to add my approbation of his judicious conduct, before and after my leaving the deck, and I also feel much pleased at the steady exertions of all my officers, seamen and marines.
I enclose herewith, a return of the killed and wounded, and also annex a list of the enemy's ships captured, and will make a return of their loss as soon as possible. I have the honour to be, &c.
SAM. HOOD. A return of killed and wounded on board his majesty's ships Centaur, Monarch, and Mars, in the action with a squadron of the enemy's frigates, on the 25th of September, 1806.
Centaur—1 seaman and two marines killed; Captain Sir Samuel Hood, K.B. and 3 seamen wounded. Monarch—1 petty officer and 5 seamen, killed; 1 lieutenant, 1 warrant officer, 4 petty officers, and 25 seamen, wounded; 1 sergeant, 2 corporals, and 4 private marines, wounded. Mars—None killed or wounded. Total—9 killed and 32 wounded.
Names of the officers killed and wounded. Centaur—Captain Sir Samuel Hood, K.B. wounded. Monarch—Mr. Biddon, midshipman, killed; Lieut. Anderson, Mr. Duffy, boatswain, and Mr. Geary, midshipman, wounded. A list of the enemy's ships captured by the squadron under the orders of Sir Samuel Hood, K.B. 25th Sept. 1806.
La Gloire, of 46 guns, commanded by M. Soleil, Capitaine de Vaisseau, carrying a broad pendant. L'Infatigable, of 44 guns, commanded by M. Girardier, Capitaine de Vaisseau. La Minerve, of 44 guns, quite new, commanded by M. Colet, Capitaine de Frigate. L'Armidie, of 44 guns, two years old, commanded by M. Langlois, Capitaine de Frigate. Remarkable fine ships, of large dimensions, mounting twenty-eight French eighteen-pounders on their main decks and forecastles, and about six hundred and fifty men (including troops) in each ship, full of stores, arms, ammunition, and provisions, &c. La Themis, of 44 guns, old—Escaped. La Sylph, of 18 guns, new—Escaped. La Lynx, of 18 guns, new—Escaped. October 6.
French and Dutch Journals, the former to the 27th ult. the latter to the 1st inst. have been received, from which it appears that the troops which broke up from the camp at Zeist, and advanced to Nymegen, have, in consequence of orders received from Paris, retrograded, and reoccupied their former position. The troops stationed in Holland, it should seem, are not to take a part in the approaching campaign. The fact is, that the present government is alarmed, and not without cause, respecting the result of any attack which may be made in that country. Flushing, as we before mentioned, has been declared in a state of siege; and a very imperative Proclamation has been issued, for immediately assembling the national guards throughout Holland, and increasing their numbers.
An article from Cleves contains a most formidable statement of the French forces in Germany. They are estimated at one hundred and seventy thousand men. There is not, perhaps, much exaggeration in this account; but we have the satisfaction of knowing, that the whole of it cannot be brought to act against Prussia. A part, and a very considerable part too, of it must be employed in observing Austria, the magnitude of whose preparations may well excite the suspicion of France. The two camps which have been formed at Lintx and Tabor were said to have contained, some days ago, near one hundred thousand men; and yet Buonaparte, after all the insults and injuries he has heaped upon that power, affects to place confidence in its professions; and has given orders, it is said, to Soult, to prepare for retiring from the position which he has so long occupied on the right bank of the Inn. This Cleves article also states, what we know to be a notorious falsehood, that desertion, to an unusual degree, prevails among the Prussian soldiers. It is on the Saxon frontier that the French seem to be assembled in greatest force. The troops who had made an oblique movement from Anspach towards the Maine, have suddenly returned to their former cantonments. The rumours which have prevailed of actual hostilities having commenced between Prussia and France, are, we believe, at present premature. The report of the French having experienced
some other severe defeats in Calabria, is said to have been very current in Paris at the time of the last Messenger quitting that capital. The latest account is, that both Messina and Regnier are wounded, one of them mortally; and that the English have taken Salerno, about 20 miles from Naples. Cosenza is also said to be in possession of the insurgents. It is, however, certain, that government has not received any confirmation of these statements.
We learn that about 2500 troops are taken on board the four frigates, captured by Sir Samuel Hood, the Infatigable, the Minerve, and L'Armidie frigates, with the Centaur, are gone for Plymouth, and La Gloire is arrived at Portsmouth.
The President, taken by Admiral Louis was on her return to France from the coast of Africa, & was one of the squadron which captured the Favourite sloop of war some time since, and greatly annoyed the trade on that coast: she parted company with the French ship of the line Regulus, of 80 guns, and a frigate, on the 20th Aug. on their return to France, which information rear-admiral Louis is likely to profit by, as he is keeping a good look out for them. It is supposed the frigates and corvettes that escaped from admiral Hood would attempt to run into some European port.
Sir Samuel Hood received his wound from a grape shot just after he had raised his arm, in giving some orders. The ball struck him about half way between the elbow and the wrist, but the arm has been amputated above the elbow.
The Gazette of Saturday contains two orders of Council, of the 1st instant:—One for encouraging the trade of Buenos Ayres, and continuing the Order of Council issued on the 17th ult. assuring those that trade there, that no more duty shall be imposed on the goods sent thither, than what is given in the said Order. The other Order is, for adding all sorts of live stock to the articles permitted to be imported into the West India Islands, &c. agreeable to an Order of the 17th ult.
Saturday mails reached the post office from Jersey and Guernsey. A Danish brig with wheat was cut out from under the batteries of St. Maloes, by the boats belonging to the little enterprising squadron under the orders of Captain Burrowes. On Sunday, while cruising before the town, the brig was discovered in a bay under their lee, the points of which were crowned with the batteries of great strength. Mr. Booth, master of the Strenuous, however, boarded and brought her out under a shower of shot, and in presence of thousands of persons who were assembled on the beach. A large French frigate was in the harbour at the time, but although her force was superior to the aggregate of our little squadron, she prudently declined to meet them.
The Constance on the 24th ult. fell in with several gun brigs, and chased them into Granville Bay, under cover of their batteries.
STATE PAPER. Circular Letter addressed to the Russian Ministers at Foreign Courts.
It is generally known, that in consequence of some suggestions from M. Lesseps, commissary general of French commercial relations, the counsellor of state M. D'Oubril received orders to repair to Paris, there to discuss the means of re-establishing peace between Russia and France.
Animated with the purest sentiments, his Imperial majesty embraced this opportunity, in the hope of being able to put an end to the calamities by which Europe had been so long desolated; and as necessary consequence of this disposition, his majesty was naturally desirous to conclude no peace for himself which should not establish general tranquillity upon solid grounds, and which should not be at the same time honourable both for Russia and her allies.
The instructions which M. D'Oubril received perfectly corresponded with these his Majesty's wishes; it was only upon the principles which have been mentioned, that he was authorised to treat with the French government; but every just and equitable proposal was declined by that government, and M. D'Oubril was prevailed upon to sign an instrument, by no means calculated to secure the object his imperial majesty had in contemplation. He has therefore refused to ratify it without the smallest hesitation, a fact which has been communicated by the Imperial government to the cabinet of the Tuileries.
Fully sensible of the happy consequences which would result from an approximation between the two Powers, upon equitable principles, his Imperial majesty has at the same time instructed his ministry, to again signify to the French government the grounds upon which he will be ready to renew the negotiation, and which are the only conditions he can admit, for they involve the general good, the dignity of his throne, and the welfare of his allies. The manner in which they will be accepted or declined by the French government, will enable Europe to estimate the degree of sincerity with which France made pacific overtures at different times.
In making this communication to your Excellency, in order that you may impart it to the Court at which you reside. I have the honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) "BUBBERD."
St. Petersburg, 4-16 August, 1806.
October 6. The transports, with the 40th regiment on board, for Buenos Ayres, have dropped down to Plymouth Sound, on their voyage. They are to be accompanied by the Resistance of 38 guns. The Nereide frigate, captain Corbett; and the Thisbe frigate, captain Shepherd, will sail shortly for Buenos Ayres.
We have received Dutch papers to the 1st, and some of the minor French Journals to the 27th ult. They furnish nothing decisive respecting the war between France and Prussia. The camp at Zeist, from which the troops assembling in Holland broke up some days ago and advanced to Nymegen, has been re-occupied. It would seem from this that the war is to be, for some time at least, a definitive one on this side. Should hostilities proceed, king Louis will have as much as he can do to defend his new territories. That he does not expect to retain undisturbed possession of them is evident. Orders have been issued for calling out the national guards throughout Holland, and also for increasing their numbers to the greatest possible extent. The town

of Flushing has been declared in a state of siege; they expected that it would have been attacked by some of the expeditions fitting out in this country. The Paris papers mention that Lord Lauderdale had been so much indisposed, that it was recommended to him to retire, for the benefit of the air, to some short distance from the capital; upon which Junot, the governor of that city, politely offered to accommodate him with his house. They do not mention whether his lordship had accepted the offer, and followed the recommendation of his physicians. As to the negotiation, it cannot be expected to make much progress at present, for we find that Talleyrand, Maréchal Berthier, and general Clarke, the person we believe, with whom his lordship principally treated, had all left Paris, and followed Buonaparte to the army.
SIR SAMUEL HOOD.—This active officer was commander of the Juno frigate, at the period of the evacuation of Toulon, previous to which event he had sailed on a cruise. On his return, ignorant of what had happened in his absence, he sailed into the harbour, and came to an anchor. The evening was hazy, with heavy rain; no colours were displayed on the batteries, or if there were, they were either not visible or English. A boat came alongside the Juno, and several Frenchmen of the new municipality went on board. They were asked for news, and perceiving the mistake that still reigned, they conversed with captain Hood, as if they were under the British government. Fortunately, the tri-coloured cockade in one of their hats caught his eye, and he perceived the treacherous tendency of their visit. With great presence of mind, he ordered some refreshments to be set before them, went on deck, and communicated to the officers and crew the situation of the ship, directed them to slip the cable, and make every possible exertion to sail out of the harbour. This he effected, in defiance of a heavy cannonade from the fort and batteries, as he passed, and soon after joined the fleet under the command of Lord Hood.
Previous to the attack on the French line in the Bay of Aboukir, the admiral hailed captain Hood, to inquire, if he thought there was sufficient depth of water for our ships, between the enemy and shore? Captain Hood said he did not know, but with the admiral's permission, he would lead in, and try. The Goliath, however, being the fastest sailer, and having the start, first gained the post of honour. The Zealous, of 74 guns, captain Hood, had the honour of being the second ship that led inside between the enemy and the land, and to receive, with the Goliath, the first fire from the van ships of the enemy, as well as from the batteries and gun-boats, with which their van was strengthened; these two ships, with the Orion, Audacious, and Theseus, took their stations inside the enemy's line, and were immediately in close action. At the close of the battle, Le Generaux, and Guillaume Tell, with the two frigates, Le Justice, and Le Diane, cut their cables, and stood out to sea, pursued by the Zealous, captain Hood, who handsomely endeavoured to prevent their escape; but, as there was no ship in a condition to support the Zealous, she was recalled.
On the 18th of August, having refitted the ships of his fleet and prizes, in the best manner the stores he had would permit, the admiral sailed from the Bay of Aboukir, leaving captain Samuel Hood, with four sail of the line and two frigates, to block up the ports of Alexandria, and to intercept any supplies which might be sent to the French army.
Captain Hood was next engaged in co-operating in the expulsion of the French from the Roman territory; and, in 1801, commanded the Venerable, one of the ships of the squadron under Sir James Saumarez. In the engagement off Algeciras, he particularly distinguished himself, by pursuing and bringing to action the formidable, a French ship of 84 guns, which he had nearly silenced, when his mainmast was shot away. This accident enabled his antagonist to escape. "The highest praise," says Sir James Saumarez, in his letter to the Admiralty on this occasion, "is due to captain Hood, the officers and men of the Venerable, for their spirit and gallantry in the action, which entitled them to better success." On the renewal of hostilities, in 1803, captain Hood was appointed commander-in-chief on the Leeward Island station, with the rank of commodore, and was employed, in conjunction with general Grinfield, in the reduction of the Dutch colonies of Berbice, Demerara, and Essequibo. For his services in the Mediterranean, he was honoured, by the king of the Two Sicilies, with the Order of St. Ferdinand and of Merit; and, in 1804 he was invested by his own sovereign, with the Order of the Bath.
October 9. FAILURE OF THE NEGOTIATION. Yesterday afternoon the following note was sent by Lord Howick to the Lord Mayor, announcing the RETURN OF LORD LAUDERDALE.
"Downing-street, Oct. 9. "Lord Howick's compliments to the Lord Mayor, or, has the honour of transmitting for his Lordship's information, a copy of a message by telegraph, just arrived from Deal: "Telegraphic Message from Deal, 7 minutes past one, p. m. 8th Oct. 1806: A messenger arrived—Lord Lauderdale quits Paris to-morrow—Clyde frigate ordered to attend."
Immediately after the receipt of the above important intelligence, the lord mayor went to the Exchange, and read Lord Howick's note. It was also read aloud at Lloyd's Coffee-house, where the intelligence diffused universal satisfaction, and was heard amidst huzzas and shouts of applause.
When the telegraphick communication arrived, Ministers were at the Levee, at the Queen's house.
The Hamburg mail due on Sunday arrived last night, but as yet brings nothing decisive of the question of peace or war. All is in motion however on the Continent, and one letter states that a Russian army of 90,000 men is already on the frontiers of Silesia.
We have received Paris papers to the 5th inst. They are uncommonly barren of intelligence. M. Von Knobelsdorf, the Prussian minister, left Paris on the night between the 1st and the 2d inst. and followed Buonaparte to Mentz. The last Hamburg papers stated that the French minister at Berlin was informed, in answer to his demand of his passports, that he should receive them from his Prussian majesty at the head quarters. From hence it is supposed, that a farther attempt will be made to settle the differences between them, by negotiation, before an appeal is made to the sword.
On Tuesday came on the election of a representa-
tive for the city of Westminster, when earl Percy was elected without opposition.

LIVERPOOL, October 8. Hostilities between Prussia and France seem now inevitable. Buonaparte was expected at Mentz on the 28th ult. on his way to take command of his army.—The king of Prussia had set out for his headquarters so early as the 21st, and must of course have joined long before Buonaparte. M. Laforet, the French minister at Berlin, had demanded his passports, and was informed, that they should be delivered to him as soon as general Knobelsdorf, the Prussian envoy should be recalled from Paris. The Prussian troops are said to be animated with the most ardent courage, and the most determined resolution. The zeal of the people corresponds in the most noble and loyal manner with the ardour of the troops. Several towns and provinces have offered to raise regiments at their own expence; even the students of the University of Halle offered to form themselves into a regiment of hussars: but it was thought right not to accept the offer of these brave and patriotic youths. All this is glorious: but it is allowed that the power of Prussia alone is not adequate to encounter that of France; and we do not yet see any prospect of that support from Russia from which alone this tardy resistance of Prussia could hope for success. Report says, that a large Russian camp is to be formed in Silesia; that large bodies of men are assembled in Russian Poland; that a large Russian force is expected to land in Pomerania: but there is no account whatsoever of any Russian force being near the scene of action. The co-operation of Saxony is the only immediate assistance that Prussia can count upon at present. The elector of Hesse has declared his territory neutral, and the neutrality is carefully respected by the Prussian troops. It is probable, that before this time an engagement has taken place, though it is not unlikely, that another effort at accommodation will be made as soon as Buonaparte and the king of Prussia are at the head of their respective armies. It is probably with a view to such overtures, that the French have retired before the Prussians on the side of Westphalia.
Amidst these hostile appearances, Lord Morpeth has set out for Berlin, to negotiate, it is supposed, an alliance with Prussia: and Lord Lauderdale remains at Paris, as if it were possible at the same time to conclude a peace with France. There is an apparent inconsistency, which we know not how to reconcile, in carrying on two negotiations so opposite at the same time. The negotiation of Lord Lauderdale, which was stated to have been commenced on principles that would not admit of delay or tergiversation, has proceeded with a tardiness that but ill accords with that promise, and that affords little satisfaction to the public impatience for some determination on this important subject. It really seems as if his lordship was to wait on every point to ascertain the determination of the court of Petersburg: or to see whether any event would turn up, by which his indecision may be fixed. It is time that it should be at length determined, whether we are to have peace or war. A vacillating and tedious negotiation is the most vexatious, the most unprofitable, and the most dishonorable transaction a country can be engaged in. We ought to know our own mind before we entered upon the negotiation, and knowing our own mind, we ought not to be a moment at a loss what determination to take upon any important point. One thing, however, we view with infinite pride and satisfaction, amidst the lingering progress of this protracted negotiation: it is, that every day brings forth new glories to the British arms, and serves to teach the enemy, that the only means of putting a stop to our triumphs and their own defeats, is to make peace with us as soon as possible on the best terms they can obtain. These repeated victories and conquests will also have the effect of inspiring the rest of the world with a confidence, that, however other nations may be trampled upon by France, there is at least one power that can resist and baffle the torrent which would otherwise overwhelm the earth.
There are strong reports of another battle in Calabria, in which the mighty Massena himself is said to have been defeated, and to have narrowly escaped with his life. Our brave army, encouraged by its former victories, is supposed to have made a second descent upon Sicily, and to have gained this second signal victory with the co-operation of the hardy and loyal natives. Joseph Buonaparte intends making a journey to Paris. His reign at Naples has been one of unparalled blood and terror.—It is no wonder, therefore, that he should seek safety in flight, when his armies have already experienced serious reverses, and when they are likely soon to have to contend with increased numbers of those gallant soldiers, who have already defeated them on such unequal terms. The war in the North will prevent Napoleon from giving the necessary support: and flight is thus likely to be his only security from the brave attacks of the English, and the fury of the enraged Neapolitans.
October 11. The latest foreign papers are still without any decisive intelligence as to the present awful and alarming state of affairs on the continent. Whether another great kingdom of Europe shall be speedily swallowed up by the all-devouring ambition of France, or suffered to linger some time longer in dependence and servitude, is still a matter of anxious speculation and fearful uncertainty. It appears that the Prussian minister has quitted Paris, and followed Buonaparte to Mayence: so that the negotiations between Prussia and France are not entirely broken off. This, chance therefore, still remains for the preservation of the Prussian monarchy; for to the other alternative, of an appeal to the sword, it must be impossible for any one to look with any great degree of confidence. The immense armies which Buonaparte is now accumulating on the frontiers of that unfortunate kingdom, and his unlimited means of supply, present a mass of force with which the resources of Prussia, either physical or financial, are altogether unequal to contend. Whatever may be hoped from the bravery and steadiness of her troops, the total want of proportion between the means of the contending parties, must destroy all hopes of ultimate success. On the succours of foreign powers we are afraid very little reliance is to be placed. We hear much of the marches and counter-marches, and of the immense numbers of the Russian armies, but unfortunately we hear nothing of their approach to the scene of action.
In the last page of this day's paper our readers will find the official account of another great naval victory, gained by Sir S. Hood, over a strong fleet of the enemy's frigates. If Buonaparte's wish for "ships, colonies, and commerce" was his sincere sentiment, and not a mere rhetorical flourish, he ought not to be very nice in proposing terms of peace with this country; for it is plain that if the war continues, his navy must either be wholly destroyed, or remain pent up in their ports, where the courage and activity of the seamen, as well as the condition of the ships, must be subjected to gradual decay. The superiority of the British navy is now become so excessive, that (as is observed by the French paper called the Argus) we can now declare a foreign settlement to be in a "state of capture," as readily as in a "state of blockade," and both declarations are alike effectual.
PARIS, Sept. 26. The Moniteur of Sept. 23, gives an account of the proceedings respecting the Jewish assembly, of which the following is an abstract.
The speech of the emperor's commissioners to the Jewish assembly, after signifying his majesty's approbation of their answers, and referring to the revolution which menaced to swallow up religious thrones and empires, but the evils inflicted by which had been repaired by one man, proceeds to observe, that the Jews, overwhelmed by the contempt of nations, and often the object of the avarice of sovereigns, have not hitherto been treated with justice; and then states the following proposition on the part of his imperial majesty:
"It is the wish of his majesty that there should remain no excuse to those who will not become citizens. He insures to you the free exercise of your religion, and the full enjoyment of your political rights: but in return for the august protection which he grants you, he exacts a religious guarantee for the entire observation of the principles announced in your answers. This assembly, as it is at present constituted, cannot alone offer this to him. Its answers must be converted into decisions by another assembly of a still more imposing and religious form, that they may be placed by the side of the Talmud, and thus acquire in the eyes of the Jews of every country, and of every age, the greatest possible authority. This is the mode of conforming to the greatness and generosity of his majesty's views, and of causing to be felt by all those who profess your religion, the happy influence of this memorable epoch."
"The number of commentators on your law have doubtless altered its purity, and the diversity of their opinions has created doubts in minds of many of those who read them. It would therefore be rendering an important service to the generality of Jews to fix their belief on the matters which have already been submitted to you."
"In order that the history of Israel may speak of an assembly invested with an authority capable of producing the results which we expect, there must be a Grand Sanhedrin. It is a Grand Sanhedrin which his majesty now proposes to convoke. This assembly, which fell with the temple, will thus re-appear to enlighten every where the people whom it governs. It will thus restore the true spirit of your law, and give an explanation calculated to put an end to all erroneous interpretation. It will call upon the Jewish people to love and defend the country which they inhabit, and will teach them, that all the sentiments which attached them to their ancient country, are due, where for the first time since the ruin of their nation they can elevate their voice."
The speech then goes on to propose, that according to ancient usage, the Grand Sanhedrin shall consist of 66 members, exclusive of the president, two thirds to be Rabbins, including those present, the other third to be chosen by the assembly by secret scrutiny, that the present assembly is to continue as long as the Grand Sanhedrin shall remain assembled, and that a committee of five members should be appointed to arrange the subjects for discussion in the Sanhedrin. Lastly, the assembly is requested to announce the convocation of the Sanhedrin to all the synagogues in Europe.
The president of the assembly, M. Furtado, in his answer, after paying compliments to the emperor, lamenting the fallen state of the Jews, and expressing surprise that no prince had until now taken any steps to ameliorate their condition, proceeds to observe on the inconveniences arising from the division of each religion into different sects, and that each ought to present to the sovereign a responsibility and the means of superintendence, for which reasons there ought to be persons appointed to study its principles and preserve its purity, of which they should be the depositaries and the guardians. He then states, that the explanation of the dogmas of the Jewish religion, given by the assembly, had proved, that there was nothing either in its principles or its practice, which could justify the exclusion of the Jews from the civil and political rights of Frenchmen. He concludes by expressing great approbation of the proposition for convoking the Grand Sanhedrin.
FLUSHING, Sept. 22. Two orders have been given by the Commandant in Chief Monnet, dated the 21st, stating that each inhabitant shall provide his family with wheat sufficient for six weeks, commencing October the 1st. 2dly, that the bakers shall previously provide themselves with a sufficient quantity of fuel; and that, on the 5th of October, an enquiry shall be set on foot respecting the execution of these orders, when those persons who have not complied with them shall be sent out of the place in case of an attack. The inhabitants are also called upon to remove all trees, bushes, hedges, &c.—Fruit trees excepted, within 300 rods of the place, to prevent them from affording any shelter to the enemy, or from remaining as obstacles to the fire of the place.

Those inclined to adventure, will see that their chance for obtaining prizes is greatly increased; that pending the drawing, their small prizes may be immediately invested in other tickets, thereby giving them a chance for prizes of considerable magnitude. To those who have drawn prizes of 15 dolls. in the First Class, as well as to those who have drawn blanks, information is now given, that the prizes may at their own option be renewed by tickets in this Class, and their blanks also, but upon the payment in the latter case of 10 dollars with each blank, provided such prizes and blanks, with the cash, be remitted free of postage, to Robt. Greenhow, merchant, in Williamsburg, agent and treasurer, or to William Newsum, Post-Master, in Norfolk, previous to the commencement of the drawing, after which period no renewal will be made. When to the prospect of individual advantage that may result to each adventurer, is added the patriotic reasons which induced the legislature to authorise this Lottery, it is ardently hoped that the disposition of tickets, will soon enable the commissioners to certify, that the drawing has commenced; which event, the agent assures the public, shall be expedited by every means in his power.

A valuable Tract of LAND for Sale.
The Subscriber will sell his Plantation called Level-Green, adjoining the town of Kempsville, in the county of Princess Anne. There is on the farm a Dwelling-House and orchards; it contains about 300 acres, and the land is excellent; it's figure is a square, and it's local position handsome and eligible, lying on the Eastern Branch of Elizabeth river, and also on the publick road leading to Norfolk. It is conveniently situated with respect to Norfolk market, being about 5 miles distant by water, and 9 by land. It is contiguous to Broad-Creek, which abounds in good oysters; it is well timbered, and has a good landing. 'Tis not extravagant to say, that from the timber alone, a net sum may be made nearly, if not entirely, equal to the purchase money. Any person who may wish to view the Land, will apply to Mr. Wilson on the premises, to Mr. Charles Sayer, William Bishop, James Robinson, or William White, all of whom reside in the neighbourhood.—The purchaser will be accommodated in a long credit.

ROBERT THOMPSON,
WHO arrived here in the United States frigate Portsmouth, Captain McNeal, from France, in the latter part of the year 1801. His brother, William Thompson, resides at Newcastle, upon Tyne, in England. In January 1801, the said Robert wrote a letter to his friends in Newcastle, saying, that he was going mate of a vessel from Norfolk, in Virginia, to Bristol, since which he has not been heard of, nor does it appear by the Custom-House books that any vessel arrived from this port at the port of Bristol during the year 1801. If the said Robert is alive, and will apply to the Editor of the Publick Ledger, in Norfolk, in Virginia, he will hear of something to his advantage. Any person who knew the said Robert, will render a great service to his friends by informing as above; if he is dead, and has left a wife, or issue, by applying as above, they will be benefitted.

PROPOSALS
From the PHOENIX COMPANY,
OF LONDON,
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise,
FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
INSURANCE from loss or damage by Fire, hath been found a measure of great importance to the happiness of families, and has given additional security to commercial transactions. The distinguished approbation with which the publick throughout Great-Britain received the improved system of this Office, occasioned frequent application for the Insurance of Property in the principal cities and towns of Europe and America, and induced the Company, many years since, to extend their plan to the Western Continent. The Phoenix Company can refer to the unerring test of experience to ascertain their character; and, gratified by the unbounded confidence they have obtained upon the continent of America, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants the means of effecting insurance on their property, the Directors have lately determined to extend the sum which they have been accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have arranged Rates of Premium upon the various descriptions of property, which they trust, will be found moderate, just and equitable. The promptitude with which this office has adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solidity of the funds, are so well known, that it is unnecessary to offer more on the subject, than to refer those who desire information, to the merchants of London, with whom they correspond. * * * In this office no injured person is liable to any call to make good the losses of others; but in case of Fire, the sufferer will be indemnified by the company. The company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning. Rates of Annual Premiums to be paid for Assurances against Fire. No. I. Hazards of the First Class, viz. Brick or Stone Buildings, covered with tile, slate, or metal. Furniture or Merchandise, not hazardous contained in such buildings. For sums not exceeding 10,000 Dollars in one Risk, 37 1-2 Cents per annum per 100 Dollars. No. II. Hazards of the Second Class, viz. Buildings having the Four Walls entirely of Brick or Stone, carried through the roof and covered with boards or shingles. Furniture or Merchandise, not hazardous, contained in such buildings. Hazardous Goods, viz. Pitch, Tar, Turpentine, Salt-petre, Flax, Hemp, Oils, and Tallow, in buildings of the first class. For sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk, 56 1-4 cents per annum per 100 dollars. No. III. Hazards of the Third Class, viz. Buildings constructed partly with brick or stone, and partly with wood, or having either of the four walls of frame work, filled in with brick. Furniture or Merchandise not hazardous, contained in such buildings. Hazardous goods, viz. Pitch, Tar, Turpentine, Salt-petre, Flax, Hemp, Oils, and Tallow, in buildings of the second class. For sums not exceeding 10,000 Dollars in one Risk, 75 Cents per annum per 100 Dollars. No. IV. Hazards of the Fourth Class, viz. Timber or slight Buildings covered with shingles or boards. Furniture or Merchandise not hazardous, contained in such Buildings. Hazardous Goods, viz. Pitch, Tar, Turpentine, Salt-Petre, Flax, Hemp, Oils, and Tallow, in Buildings of the third class. For sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk, 100 to 150 cents per annum per 100 dollars. * * * Ships in port and their Cargoes, Ships Building or Repairing; also, Barges and other Small Craft, with Goods on board, may be insured against Fire. ††† Larger sums may be insured by special agreement. All buildings in contiguity to other hazardous buildings, or in other respects situated disadvantageously, will be charged at an extra premium.—The rates may also in some cases be proportionally moderated upon Timber Buildings in the country, or when standing single and detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security. ‡‡‡ Tallow-Melters, Soap-Makers, Brewers, Vinegar, and Sweet Makers, Hemp and Flax Dressers, Printing-Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet-Makers, Coach-Makers, Matt-Houses, Bakers, Ship Chandlers, Boat-Builders, Rope-Makers, Sugar-Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish-Makers, Turpentine-Works, Theatres, and all Mills and Machinery, are deemed extra-hazardous, and the rate upon such risks will be proportionally increased. CONDITIONS OF INSURANCE. I. Persons desirous to make Insurance on Buildings, are to deliver in to the agent the following particulars, viz.—Of what materials the walls and roof of each building are constructed, as well as the construction of the buildings contiguous thereto—whether the same are occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise—where situated—so, the name or names of the present occupiers. Each building must be separately valued, and a specified sum insured thereon—and in like manner a separate sum insured on the property contained therein. All Manufacturers which contain Furnaces, Kilns, Stoves, Cooks, Ovens, or otherwise use Fire-Heat, are chargeable at additional rates. In the Insurance of Goods, Wares, or Merchandise, the building or place in which the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kinds denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause the same to be described in the Policy otherwise than as they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed, such Insurance shall be of no force. II. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be insured as such, otherwise the Policy will not extend to cover such property. III. No loss or damage to be paid on Fire happening by any Invasion, Foreign Enemy, Civil Commotion, Riot, or any Military or usurped Power whatever; nor for damage done by Fire occasioned by Earthquakes or Hurricanes: but this Company will make good losses on Property burnt by Lightning. IV. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Bills, Bonds, Tallies, and Ready Money, cannot be insured. V. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings, and Sculptures, are not included in any Insurance, unless such articles are specified in the Policy. VI. Persons insuring Property at this office, must give notice of any other Insurance made elsewhere on their behalf on the same, and cause such other Insurance to be endorsed on their Policies; in which case each office shall be liable to the payment only of a rateable proportion of any loss or damage which may be sustained; and unless such notice is given, the insured will not be entitled to recover in case of loss. VII. No order for insurance will be of any force, unless the premium is paid to the agent, or unless a sum has been advanced, and the agent has delivered his receipt on account of the office; and all persons desirous to continue their insur-
ances, must meet their future payments annually within fifteen days after the day limited by their respective policies, or the me will be void. VIII. All persons assured by this company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company's agent, and as soon as possible after, to deliver in to him a particular account of their loss or damage, signed by themselves, 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 or other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall procure a certificate under the hands of a magistrate or sworn notary of the city or district in which the Fire happened, not concerned in such loss, importing 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, without any kind of fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and until such affidavit and certificates are produced, the loss of money shall not be payable; also, if there appears any fraud or false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution, or payment by virtue of his policy. IX. In case any difference or dispute shall arise between the assured and the company, touching any loss or damage, such difference may be submitted to the judgment and determination of arbitrators indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be conclusive and binding to all parties. And when any loss or damage shall have been duly proved, the insured shall receive satisfaction, to the full amount thereof, without allowance of any discount, fees, or other deduction whatever. X. Persons chusing to insure for seven years, will be charged for six years only; also, for a less number of years than seven, will be allowed a reasonable discount. * * * Persons desirous of effecting Insurance, are requested to make application to RICHARD TAYLOR, in NORFOLK, who is appointed the Company's Agent, and is fully authorised to grant Policies on behalf of the Company.
