TREATY PROPOSED TO AMERICA BY THE LATE MINISTERS.
The publick presses of America have at length spread abroad the articles of the treaty proposed between Great Britain and the United States—which treaty, had it been ratifi- ed, would by this time have been the publick law of the two countries.
The sketch of the treaty, which will be found in our paper of this day, has afforded us an unequivocal satisfaction. It is conceived in a just spirit of liberal policy, and a soundness of political wisdom, which was to be expected from the men to whom this business was entrusted—men, who considered the relations of friendly intercourse and peace preferable to those of hostility, and who estimated commerce at the just value at which it always should be rated—as a mutual intercourse for reciprocal advantage, a course of publick dealing, in which, whatever party bought, the seller was sure to profit—and in which, whatever might be the motive of the purchase, or whoever the consumer, the interest of that party was most apparent who found a market for his commodities.
The basis of this treaty appears to have been that concluded in 1794, by Mr. Jay, with some necessary variations, arising from a change of circumstances—These variations are chiefly objected to by the party writers.
The third article of this treaty, which regulates the intercourse between the United States and the British East Indies, is represented as an unjust intrusion of the Americans into our Indian trade.
This is a gross mis-statement—The article provides no such thing—The Americans never wanted any of our Indian trade: they have sufficient of their own: they have a direct trade with China; and though this trade is not so advantageous to them, as the trade of England with British India, because the Americans are obliged to carry money to China, as little of their own produce is in request in that country; notwithstanding this disadvantage of the American Indian trade, they had no reason to covet, nor did they in fact ever covet, a share of the trade of our Indian colonies.
The truth is, it would have been of less service to them than their present trade with China. They had nothing to exchange for the Indian produce with which our colonial market was not supplied. Whatever they purchased, they must have paid for in money—at a price aggravated by the colonial duties imposed upon exportation, and which must have the tea, the rice, and cotton of British India, as dear to an American as to an English consumer. Could America be said to have any interest in this trade?
It will be objected perhaps, that it is true she might have no interest in carrying it on for her own consumption, but she might derive great profit from selling it to the continent, and vying with the British market in Europe.
This objection is fallacious. As she must have bought this produce as dear as it is in England, she must of necessity have sold it at an advanced price to a continental dealer.—Now, the English foreign trade has the advantage of a drawback on exportation,—which is the suffering of a commodity to proceed partly untaxed abroad, to procure a market there which it cannot obtain at home. A drawback, therefore, is no loss to the state which permits it, as it is merely the remission of a tax, which, if the commodity be not sold, could not be paid; and as from the fulness of the market, the chance of sale would be against the commodity, it is a compromise made with the merchant, on paying a part, to find a market elsewhere. This drawback therefore must necessarily bring the produce of British India cheaper to the continent than America could bring it, who had already paid the tax on the first purchase of the commodity, which is remitted to the English merchant on its foreign sale.
After this statement it will not, we think, be contended, that the late ministers were inclined to admit America to a share of the India trade, or that America had it been offered, was inclined to accept it. The fact is, that this article of the treaty offers no other advantages than the duties of common humanity, and the rights of kindred nations. It merely engages that ships, which are bona fide American vessels, should be received into the ports of British India, and treated whilst they remain there, with publick hospitality.
The eleventh article of this treaty, however, is that which gives its great characteristic, and which, in our opinion, entitles it to higher credit and dignity than any other publick instrument of a similar sort. This article is as follows:
“Citizens of the United States may carry European goods to the colonies of enemies of Great Britain, (from the ports of the United States) provided that both vessel and cargo be bona fide American property; that the goods shall have been unladed within the United States, and that (in addition to that part of the duty already reserved from the drawback on exportation) the further sum of one per cent. ad valorem on such goods shall be paid. They may also export from the United States to Europe, the produce of colonies of the enemies of Great Britain, provided they being neutral property, shall have been unladed as before; and that two per cent. ad valorem be paid on exportation, in addition to what is reserved on the drawback. After the expiration of the treaty all antecedent rights on these subjects are to revive.”
Now this is the great object for which we contended in our last paper—France has shut the ports of Europe against us, and there is no entrance for our commodities but by a neutral conveyance—The same conveyance must likewise bring to France the produce of her own colonies; it seems therefore that the wisest plan which we can pursue is, to suffer that to be done indirectly, which, whilst it ostensibly consults the advantage of the enemy, carries off the produce of our manufactures, and makes France deal with us, almost in spite of herself.
America is the neutral bottom of both kingdoms, and whilst she is permitted to carry the produce of the French colonies to the mother country, a steady stream of profit must always set towards her, and the riches as she acquires, like those of every other trader, will invariably be spent in the speculation for more—this speculation will, of necessity, be employed in English commodities, the money, of which she drains France, will be spent in the British markets, and her wealth and prosperity will give a new action and demand to the English commerce.
America, in truth, is now almost our only chapman; and if we could hope to reduce her to ruin and bankruptcy by denying her the French colonial trade, it would assuredly not be our interest to do so.
Commerce requires two parties—a buyer and a seller—He that buys, buys partly for his own consumption, and for that profit which he expects to make by dealing with others in a commodity which he has bought by wholesale, and retails to them. In the prosperity, therefore, and profits of my customer, I have almost as near an interest as I have in my own. If he cannot afford it, he will not deal with me; but if he has money to share he will first supply himself, and then endeavour to enhance his gains by supplying others.
It is thus with America—The only way by which she can obtain the riches of the continent, is by being suffered to export the produce of the colonies. But what does she do with these riches? She does not vest them, as our traders do, in government securities, and publick stocks! No; with a true mercantile spirit, she sends every penny she gets in pursuit of another penny, and this commercial enterprise must necessarily bring her to the English market.
She could derive no advantage in trading with England, if her commerce were confined to a mere exchange of produce; because she produces nothing which England does not produce in perfection. But the advantage which she derives from the British trade is,—that by means of the specie which she procures by her own trade, as a carrier to the continent she is enabled to purchase British goods not at the enhanced price consequent upon an Exchange, but at prime and nett cost—and to sell these goods, at an increased price, to the foreign consumer.
If such be the benefit to America, what, let us ask, is the advantage to us? It is—that we receive money—in other words, the wealth of the continent, instead of the lumber of America—Instead of goods which we scarcely can be said to want, but which, sooner than not sell at all, we should be compelled to receive.
To us, therefore, it appears the most mistaken notion to attempt putting any shackle upon the commerce of America and the countries of the enemy. So long as he admits her, he indirectly admits us; and if we exclude her, we more completely shut out ourselves.
We shall thus always think the country indebted to those ministers, whatever be their other faults, who proposed that America should be suffered to continue whatever commerce, except contraband, she was enabled to engage in.

IMPORTANCE OF BERMUDA.
A few days since, Mr. Wood, of Bermuda, left this city, on his return home. The nature of that gentleman's visit to this country is of the utmost importance to the commercial interest of the colonies. Bermuda, an island situate in the middle of the Western Ocean, hitherto but of little consequence to Great Britain, is likely, by the patriotick endeavours of this gentleman, to rise from a neglected spot to a most valuable Entrepot, between the Canadas and the West Indies. This island, but
twenty miles in length and two in breadth, situate in a most salubrious climate, luxuriant in all the productions of nature, and peopled by above fifteen thousand inhabitants, including the military, is by its situation, solely calculated for the carrying trade between the West Indies and the sister colonies, possessing the best sailing vessels and timber for their construction, in America. In the year 1793 Bermuda possessed above two hundred and seventy vessels of from 150 to above 200 tons, whereof the number is actually reduced to about seventy; and those only maintained by the carrying trade between Newfoundland and the West Indies; which, if lost, this island, but small and too thickly inhabited, in proportion to its extent, not having any staple commodity proper to itself, must dwindle into nothing. That it is now in its decline, and even threatened with an evacuation, unless some salutary measures be taken for its encouragement, is no longer a doubt. The Americans have furnished its inhabitants with provisions for some years back, who, owing to their vicinity, can dispose of their produce at a lower rate than any exported from Nova-Scotia or this province, while the Bermudians are compelled to give them specie in exchange which only comes into that colony through the employment of their shipping, in the W. India carrying trade. But this trade has been effectually taken from them, by throwing too frequently open the W. India ports to the Americans, to the utter exclusion of the former. While Canada might enrich her inhabitants by exporting her own productions to Bermuda and the West India islands, the American merchants buy up numbers of horse, and horned cattle in this province, drive them to the sea ports, ship them off, and even then dispose of them at very advanced profits to our West India merchants. The trade of this province with the West Indies, is at this day, but very inconsiderable; most of the produce of these islands, coming either from Newfoundland or Halifax, consequently incurring an additional cost. On the other hand, the object in view lays open a more extensive field for commerce and agriculture, to this colony, by shutting the West India ports against certain articles exported from America, which for want of a market, must necessarily come into Canada, and thence pass to the island of Bermuda; and by that means bring in a profit to the Canadian merchant, on American articles, should such be necessary, instead of enriching the American merchant on Canadian articles, and oppressing the West Indian. All which must ultimately fall upon ourselves; for Americans can afford to sell West Indian produce, taken in barter, for such articles, sold at an exorbitant rate, lower than any of our own colonies, deprived of the advantages of a similar trade, and notwithstanding, have a greater profit.
From what has been observed, the want of trade between this country and the West India islands, is easily accounted for. It is a fact, no less true than grievous, that not long since, a vessel arrived at Bermuda from Halifax, loaded with provisions, was forced to leave that market, owing to the great concourse of American traders, who could afford to under sell them. Now the grand object in contemplation, is to make Bermuda an Entrepot, between the Canadas and the West Indies. Canada to have heavy and burdensome vessels between this and Bermuda, a passage little annoyed by privateers; and the vessels of that island, calculated for fast sailing, to carry the produce so exported to that island, from thence to the West India planters; and from thence, to bring back produce, in return to Bermuda. Thus would commerce take a regular circulation; and by giving a stimulus to the industry of the farmer, would also be a speedy measure to the improvement of this province, in every shape; and yield, at the same time, to the Canadian merchant, a ready and sure market for the productions of this province; a considerable profit on the returns made, and, at the same time, a profit to the Bermudian on his return; and cause a greater demand for the produce of the West Indies. In such a manner that the island of Bermuda, (from whose climate no native of Canada has any thing to fear,) admirably situated by nature, for a store-house, between the two countries; would soon become a place of very great importance, and rise upon the commerce of the Canadas with the West Indies, to a possession of vast consequence to Great Britain, the exports of both becoming to it staple commodities, while they would in their turn, be materially ameliorated; and, in a few years, rendered independent of the American traders.

The importance of the negotiations depending at Washington, produces a correspondent anxiety, and to an extent which we have seldom seen equalled. It would be highly gratifying to us, if it were in our power to furnish any satisfactory information upon this interesting topic.
In former times it was the custom to lay before congress a state of the foreign relations of the country; but the present administration have pursued a course of secrecy, which is the more extraordinary as it is repugnant to all the professions of the party, who support the administration.
We must now look for information in the pages of the papers, which are termed administration papers. In them we perceive with few exceptions, a spirit of hostility, that precludes a hope of peace, there is no occasion which offers, which is not seized with avidity to exasperate the people against Great-Britain, and when no occasion offers, one is invented.
In our last, we noticed an article from one of the leading democratick papers, and by no means one of the most intemperate, charging Great-Britain with instigating the Algerines to war with us. This was done certainly without any evidence whatever, for none could have been received, but it was well calculated to produce the desired effect. We could if necessary, cite from the democratick papers, an hundred instances of similar conduct, but that wherein they have been most exceeded, is the shameful abuse of Mr. Rose, the minister extraordinary.
The last Aurora contains an article which we will extract as a further and recent evidence of that temper and disposition which we have noticed.
TO YOUR TENTS, O ISRAEL!
People of America! Men of all parties who feel an emotion of virtue or love of country—of virtuous liberty—You who can look back with glorious exultation to the triumphs of independence, and the virtues and valour by which it was achieved—annihilate the little animosity of party, nobly resolve to spurn all foreign feelings, and be Americans worthy of the name.
FOR THE HOUR IS AT HAND—WHEN THERE CAN BE NO NEUTRALITY—YOU ARE ON THE VERGE OF WAR.
Your government has been called on as the Danes were called on at Copenhagen, to abandon independence, and become the dupe of Great-Britain.
The negotiation, which was never intended for the ostensible purposes, is at an end.
Prepare for war—
Unite—arm—like men—or perish slaves.
You are men—and that manhood will be tried.
In every view of this subject which we are enabled to take, we see much to apprehend, and but little to hope.
It appears both by the French and English papers, from which extracts are given in this paper, that overtures of a negotiation for peace between France and England have been made, through the mediation of Austria. It is not possible to form any conjecture, founded upon facts, as to the result of these overtures, but we certainly should believe Great Britain would be infinitely more disposed to confide her honour and interests to Austria than to Russia.
Extract of a letter from Washington to a gentleman in this place, dated 9th February.
"I cannot refrain my dear sir, from communicating to you a part of a conversation, which took place last evening. I was in company with a person connected with the navy department, and the conversation turning upon the equipment of the ships of war, I expressed my surprise that more of these were not equipped and furnished at Norfolk, and stated my reasons, the superiority of the materials, cheapness, expedition, &c. &c. The gentleman alluded to said that the government would not equip any ships there, or procure any supplies there, if it could be avoided, and with more warmth than truth or good manners warrant, added that the people of Norfolk had taken such advantages of the government, by charging every thing furnished or done, at such enormous advanced prices, that the government would take care to put itself in their power no oftener than could be avoided. He further said that the imposition was not limited, but that there appeared to be a combination, which could only be defeated by procuring supplies from other places. I remarked, that I could not imagine that any such combination did exist, but that it very well suited the views of persons who found it their interest, to suggest that such a one existed, and which furnished a good excuse for what really required one. My zeal for a place for which I have so many reasons to be attached, and believing it to be unjustly calumniated, produced some warm words not worth relating, but from this circumstance, and some others which I have noticed, the members of the navy department, are from some cause or other much dissatisfied with Norfolk."
Extract of a letter by last mail, dated Washington, 10th February.
"We have no news that you will not see in the publick prints—but I give to you as my opinion, that we shall have peace with Great-Britain, and upon honourable terms. At the same time nothing of the negotiation has transpired, every thing relative
thereto being kept in profound secrecy—Any proper adjustment of our differences with England, it is apprehended will lead to a rupture with France."

From LEGHORN.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman of the first information, to his correspondent in Newburyport, dated Leghorn, Oct. 9, 1807.
"When I wrote you last, I just hinted at the entrance of a large body of French troops in this city, which I am sorry to say has given me much trouble, and threatens the American property in this place. To give you some idea of their proceedings, you must know that they entered very unexpectedly, on the 29th of August, to the amount of about 4000 men, including cavalry, and a large train of artillery; at the time, no one could form an idea of their object, though all feared their intentions. The first act was to lay an embargo on all vessels, even fishing boats; they then put a stop to all goods passing either by land or water, and formed a commission of their own body, and some of their more vile creatures here, to search for English goods, with a determination that they must be found, or formed, to give them excuse for levying a large contribution on the city. This virtuous commission proceeded to search every shop and warehouse, and as they could neither find nor make English manufactures sufficient to answer their design, they commenced on American property, and put seals on all the indigo, India sugar, fine cottons, pimento, ginger and Logwood; obliged the merchants to make returns of all these articles in their hands, and hold them to the order of the French general. When this gross violation of property took place, it caused general indignation amongst the Americans, and serious fears for our property; no respect whatever was paid to the French Consular certificates, and other Documents which clearly proved the neutral property and origin of our goods: nor were these Documents ever asked for; and the judgment of their exports was sufficient to the seizing any article, even sugars from Batavia, which they ignorantly supposed a colony of England. In consequence of this villainous attempt on our property, we had several meetings, and a committee waited on the French general Miollis; we next presented a memorial to the Queen Regent, which was well received, and a very polite answer given. But from neither can we obtain any redress—the general pleaded his orders—and I fear the Queen has not the power to stop these lawless proceedings. We next dispatched a memorial to the Viceroy of Italy, at Milan, from which we have not much to expect, and one to our own minister at Paris, where perhaps we may find redress at last, but it must be a work of time."
From the Salem Register, (a Democratick Paper.)
"Messrs. Printers, "As a friend to peace, I beg leave to enter my protest against the verses which appeared in yesterday's Chronicle, under the title "The British Rose;" a performance much less to be admired for its wit, than censured for its indecency. A foreign ambassador has a right to claim as safe a protection from our civil manners as our civil laws. Mr. Rose, for any thing we know to the contrary, is a man of honour and a gentleman—and he represents a nation as yet at amity with America. He comes among us with the olive branch of peace in his hand and with adequate powers, it is presumed, to settle all differences. This being the case, how cruel, how impolitic, how ungenerous it is, to embarrass his operations by surly comment, and alienate his personal friendship by wanton insult!—These shameful paragraphs cannot fail to meet the eye of Mr. Rose. But we hope he will have the magnanimity to despise them, and not suffer his private feelings to influence his publick mission. Yet, there is no reason why we should thus put his wisdom to the proof: and they must entertain very narrow notions of patriotism, who can think it best displayed in this miserable shape. If Great-Britain has injured us, let us seek satisfaction by open remonstrance and dignified menace; but neither lampoon her government, nor insult her envoys."
A REPUBLICAN.
"Salem, Jan. 26."
From the American Citizen.
I shall state plainly in the commencement of these observations that I have no prejudices for or against any foreign nation whatever, but consider all that we are at war with, enemies, and those we are at peace with, friends. That we have been treated unjustly by both France and England must
be acknowledged by every candid and impartial man. To talk of justice and friendship of foreign nations towards America, is in the highest degree absurd. The true cause of their conduct towards us, is to be found in their conduct to each other, and their mutual jealousy of our rising importance—The present prosperity of America, was not a thing of calculation but accident, arising out of the belligerent state of Europe. Had Europe continued at peace, our commerce and agriculture would not at this time have been what it is—Can France or England blame us for improving the present war to our advantage? For if they as sovereign nations have a right to go to war, we as a sovereign nation have a right to remain at peace and enjoy all the advantages of an honest neutrality. There was a time when the American nation had a strong political predilection in favour of France, because recently aided by that power to procure our own independence, we saw them struggling for the same boon. At the same period it must be confessed there were strong prejudices against England, because we had just terminated an arduous contest for liberty and were still bleeding from the wounds she had inflicted. Whatever may be the opinion of some, mine is, and justice and policy dictate it, that all former prejudices for or against those nations, arising out of the American Revolution, should be forever buried, because France is no more a republick, and England has acknowledged our independence. The causes of our present disputes with both nations have arisen since her revolution, and therefore ought to be viewed separately from any thing that preceded them. It is not my object here to enumerate however much disposed to do so; I will only say that both France and England has given us just cause of offence, and that the latter has only exceeded the former in crime because she wanted the means. Those differences are now in a train of amicable negotiation. Under these circumstances, I ask, what should be the conduct of every real American? I answer—To estimate the faults of NEITHER by dwelling on the crimes of ONE, but to say they have both cruelly oppressed us—to confide in the wisdom of the government in its pending negotiation and, if an appeal must be made to the sword, in the justice of our cause and the valour of our nation.

Extract of a letter from Montreal to the Editor of the Evening Post, dated Jan. 9.
"I have the pleasure to inclose his excellency governor Cragg's Proclamation, offering a reward for the apprehension of a French Spy, whose name is Cassino. He was formerly French consul at Portsmouth, New-Hampshire; and I have to add, that a person answering his description, and, in the month of August last, inspect Crown Point, Ticonderoga, and other places on lake Champlain, and in September entered this province."
"These are facts, and you are at liberty to make such use of them as you may think proper. How far they are connected with the late politics at Washington, you are most able to decide."

Quebec, Dec. 24.
Intelligence having been received that a Frenchman whose real name is CAZEAU or CASSINO, but who probably goes by some other name, is now in the province busily employed in the troublous endeavour of alienating the minds of his majesty's Canadian subjects from their allegiance to the government, as well as in that of imposing on the credulity of the ignorant part of the people, and by an artful and insidious language, of which he is represented as a thorough master, to induce them to an attachment to the infamous usurper of the throne of the Louis' and the Henry's, and the murderer of the last hopes of the illustrious house of Conde. It is, therefore, his excellency the governor's orders, that the utmost diligence be used for the discovering and bringing to justice this spy and traitor; and all the Canadian and faithful militiamen are called upon to use their best endeavours for apprehending him accordingly.
And as a further inducement for their exerting themselves in this case, his excellency is pleased to promise a reward of Fifty Pounds to such person or persons as shall either themselves apprehend the person before named, and carry him before any magistrate or officer of militia, or shall give such information as may be the means of his being so apprehended and delivered up.
The aforesaid Cazeau or Cassino, is between 30 and 40 years of age, near six feet high, good teeth, fair complexion, hair short, curly, and of a sandy colour, and rather course. He speaks English well and it is supposed may be passing himself for an American.

Extract of a letter from Newbedford, dated Jan. 31.
"This afternoon arrived ship Niagara, captain Cross, 48 days from Rotterdam."
"Captain C. confirms the account of the capture of our vessels by the Algerines. He understood a short time previous to his leaving Rotterdam, that Louis had retired from the government of Holland, on account of ill health, and that Talleyrand had arrived at the Hague to supply his place. A more rigorous treatment of neutrals it was expected would result from this change."
"Came passenger in the Niagara, capt. Kinsley, late of the ship Alexandria, of Alexandria, lost on the 27th October on the island of Goree."
"Capt. C. informs that the ship Washington, Case, of this port, for whose safety strong apprehensions had been entertained, was at, or near Cuxhaven, detained by the French. The Orozimbo, Allen, of this port, was detained at Middleburgh—her cargo landed, but vessel not suffered to depart, unless the consignee would become obligated to furnish another vessel to take it out of the country, provided it was finally ordered away."
Capt. Howes, who arrived at Gloucester, from Bourdeaux, in 45 days informs, that American vessels had been embargoed, and their papers kept from them; but that the latter had been restored, and the vessels allowed to depart. Americans are treated in an unfriendly manner; and the emperor is said to have declared, that the United States should declare for or against him.
The ship General Hamilton, which arrived last
evening, left Amsterdam on the 18th December. We have papers by her to the 10th; but excepting the following article, they contain nothing to interest an American reader. The news of the arrival of Talleyrand at the Hague is contradicted. The king of Holland had returned, but the queen remained at Paris. There had been no general seizure of American property at Amsterdam, but some ships which had been sent into England were under seizure. There was a report, that Americans were embargoed in French ports.
An Amsterdam paper of the 10th of December, contains an article of Calais, of the 2d, which says, the Austrian courier, which went from here to England, has returned, and his report is very favourable. The mediation which he proposed to the British government appears to have been accepted. It is said that the negotiations are soon to commence.
BOSTON, Jan. 29.
INSURRECTION.
We are sorry to learn, by the Kennebec Gazette, and verbal information, that an opposition to the execution of the laws, on the eastern line of Plymouth grant, in the county of Kennebec, has assumed a shape so formidable, as to require the interference of military power. As the deputy Sheriff, Mr. Johnson was passing through Fairfax, a person dressed in an Indian garb, demanded his papers. He declared he had no writs of ejectment; notwithstanding this, the fellow returned to this party, and one of them followed him, into every house he entered through the day. In the evening, in the town of Fairfax, he was again required to deliver his papers. On refusing, a double loaded musket was discharged upon him, his horse killed, and he received two balls, happily neither proved fatal.
Two other men have been stripped by these rebels, and the spirit of opposition has become so outrageous that Mr. Lithgow, the high sheriff, has demanded of maj. gen. Sewal, 400 of the militia, who have accordingly been ordered to be ready, at a moment's warning to support and defend the civil authority.
We thought the election of our present chief magistrate was to have ended all this uneasiness.
PHILADELPHIA, February 4.
On Friday the 29th of January, the following resolution was proposed in the house of representatives of this state by Dr. Leib. That he should offer such a resolution is not surprising; but that 40 Pennsylvanians should vote for it, is truly astonishing. May they enjoy to the full all the benefits of the measure, which they so highly applaud.
Whereas the government of the United States have deemed it expedient and promotive of the general interest of the nation to lay an embargo, and the representatives of the people of Pennsylvania do approve of the wisdom and patriotism of the measure: And whereas there are to be found among us, persons, claiming the rights of American citizens, and enjoying all the benefits of this free government, who are so lost to all sense of patriotism as to reprobate a measure called for by the best interests of the country. And whereas it is incumbent upon a free people to sustain the measures of a government constituted by themselves, when they are obviously interwoven with the general interest and safety of the nation. Therefore,
Resolved, by the house of representatives of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, That the embargo laid by the general government meets our hearty and entire approbation, and that we view in it a wise measure calculated to secure the peace of our country, preserve the property of our citizens, and to promote a redress of our wrongs.
After some debate, the above resolution was negatived, 43 to 40.
MARIETTA, January 25.
The grand jury lately empanelled at Chillicothe, have found bills of indictment against Aaron Burr and Herman Blannerhasset, for a misdemeanor. A detailed account of the proceedings of the court will be given next week.
FAYETTEVILLE, (N. C.) Feb. 5.
Agreeable to the resolution of the house of representatives in congress, a writ was issued by the governor of this state to hold an election in this district on the 1st instant, to fill the vacated seat of John Culpepper, Esq. We are not able to procure the returns of Moore and Montgomery; but from the following statement, it appears that John Culpepper, Esq. has a majority of upwards of 300 votes.
   Culpepper, M c Farland.     Anson, 1007 80   Cumberland, 376 477   Richmond, 343 423   Robeson, 138 559   1864 1539  
SAVANNAH, January 30.
Accounts by the Sarah, capt. Dorgan, arrived yesterday from Kingston, Jamaica, mention that news of the embargo reached that place on the 10th instant, by a Danish vessel, bound from New York for St. Domingo, loaded with warlike stores, which had been captured and brought in by one of the British cruisers. Provisions had, consequently, taken so great a rise that flour, which before was selling at seven dollars, rose immediately to twenty-two. We have been favoured by a gentleman of this city with the Kingston Chronicle of January 13; from which we have extracted the following:
KINGSTON, (Jam.) January 13.
His majesty's ship Duncan, captain Warren, arrived at Port-Royal late on Monday evening and brought in with her the Danish armed brig Two Lydias, mounting four 32-pound cannonades, and two long 18 pounders, which she captured after a chase of several hours, having on board warlike stores, bound to St. Domingo, for Petion's brigands.
By the Two Lydias, which left New-York on the 31st ult. we learn, that, on the 26th, an order was issued by the American government, laying an embargo on all American vessels, and ordering neutral vessels to depart from the ports of the United States who were not to be permitted to take on board cargoes after the above date, but allowed to depart with what they had then on board. We also learn, that the Constitution frigate and Wasp sloop, were preparing to sail one for England, and the other for France, with dispatches, and that the embargo was to continue in force until an answer should be re-

ceived to them; and that on the embargo being laid on, not less than 5000 seamen had been discharged from American merchantmen at New York, which had excited a great commotion among them, and government had in consequence employed those people to work on the fortifications erecting at New York for the defence of that city. —It is also said that on an American vessel attempting to get out of the port after the embargo had been laid on, was fired at by the forts and prevented from sailing.
Private letters received by the Sally, recommend that no shipments should be made to America in British bottoms.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, Via New York.
LONDON, December 10.
Sir John Moore, is to co-operate with Sir Sidney Smith.
December 13.
The intelligence of the week is of more than common interest—American papers have been received, which contain the speech of the president of the United States upon the meeting of congress —It is not in the tone of conciliation, or ordinary temperance; it is the speech of a man who seems to think a quarrel unavoidable,—and as such, contemplates it as a matter rather of congratulation than as a political misfortune.
If such be the feeling in America before the late proclamations in our Gazette have reached them—we may easily conjecture how much their resentment will rise upon the sight of these commercial interdictions—If the public mind were even now wavering these orders would most assuredly fix it: the door will be thus shut upon accommodation, and war must be inevitable.
An article in one of the Hamburg papers states, that the whole of the courts of the Continent, from Dantzic to the extreme point of the South of Portugal, is to be occupied by French troops, and that Gibraltar was to be immediately attacked. The force in march towards Spain and Italy is estimated at one hundred thousand men. Considerable armies of reserve are forming to feed and supply it. All the troops that constituted the grand army upon the banks of the Niemen, a great part of which have not yet reached the Rhine, are to be divided into two armies, one of which is forming at Boulogne. We may, therefore, soon expect to see the hills of Boulogne once more covered with camps, and hear the cry of invasion from the French shores.
We understand it to be in the contemplation of government to call upon the governor and directors of the bank of England, for a voluntary contribution of 500,000l. towards the publick service, for the year 1807, or to demand of them, under parliamentary authority, to demonstrate, by a full disclosure of the state of their accounts, their inability to pay this small portion of tax upon their property, in common with the rest of his majesty's subjects.
Thursday the bank of England gave notice, that they had agreed to the postponement of the time for the redemption of the Omnium, paid upon at the bank, and, instead of requiring the ten per cent. in one payment, they had agreed to receive it at two, at stated periods.
A paper of yesterday morning says, that "some days ago proposals were issued by the victualling office for supplying our fleets, &c. on the West-India station with fresh provisions. A number of persons sent in terms, and they waited on Friday on the victualling Board for the purpose of closing their contracts. But they were surprised by a very unexpected question from the commissioners, to the following effect:—"From whence do you propose to draw supplies for the execution of your contracts in the event of an American war?" The contractors being wholly unprepared for such a question, and struck by its tendency, required time to answer, and reconsider their proposals. In consequence of this very pregnant interrogatory, any further consideration upon the subject which gave rise to it has been postponed until Wednesday next.
Maenz, the Austrian Messenger, who was sent to Paris with dispatches, is returned to this country with fresh dispatches. He came over in the Lynx sloop of war, which arrived in the Downs on Friday afternoon. In the evening, we understand, he landed at Deal, and after going to the port admiral, set off for London.
The following is the letter from our Deal correspondent:
"DEAL, Dec. 11.
"I lose not a moment to inform you, that an Austrian Messenger, with dispatches for government, is just arrived from the Downs in the Lynx sloop of war, capt. Marshall. A cartel from Holland, under Dutch colours, is also at this instant come to anchor in our Roads."
December 14.
Two Gottenburgh mails have arrived since our last. The contents of these mails are seldom of much interest; however, such as they are, in the present state of the continent, with respect to news, we are glad to receive them. The contents of these are of that nature as to induce us to suppose we shall not be troubled with many more, for it is evident that the emperor of Russia is taking measures to sever from us our only remaining continental ally. The king of Sweden has no force in his dominions to withstand that of Russia, and must in course yield to necessity. A messenger arrived from Sweden last night, which, no doubt, brought the intelligence to ministers of the march of the Russian troops towards Swedish Finland; and probably announced to them the reluctant resolution of the Swedish monarch to the Swedish monarch to yield to circumstances.—Governed by a junta more formidable in attacking friends than enemies, Britain had no longer the power to succour the distressed, their hands are now stretched out towards her in vain, and one by one they become the sacrifice of their attachment to us.
The prohibition of neutral ships to bring their prizes into Danish ports is repealed, with respect to English prizes, as long as the war shall continue.

At the Court at the Queen's Palace, the 9th of December, 1807, present the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
It is this day ordered by his Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, that no ships or vessels belonging to any of his Majesty's subjects be
permitted to enter and clear out for any of the ports within the dominions of the Emperor of Russia until further order; and his Majesty is further pleased to order, that a general embargo, or stop, be made on all ships and vessels whatsoever belonging to the subjects of the Emperor of Russia now within, or which shall hereafter come into, any of the ports, harbours, or roads within any of his Majesty's dominions, together with all persons and effects on board all such ships and vessels; and that the Commanders of his Majesty's ships of war and privateers do detain and bring into port all ships and vessels belonging to the subjects of the Emperor of Russia, or bearing the flag of the Emperor of Russia; but that the utmost care be taken for the preservation of all and every part of the cargoes on board any of the said ships or vessels, so that no damage or embezzlement whatever be sustained; and the Commanders of his Majesty's ships of war and privateers are hereby instructed to detain and bring into port every such ship and vessel accordingly: And the Right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, are to give the necessary directions herein as to them may respectively appertain. W. FAWKENER.
The Freya frigate which brought Louis the 18th here, sailed on Friday with a fleet of vessels for the Baltic.
The following copy of a letter from Sir Stephen Sharp, to the governor of the Russian company, has been sent to Batson's for the general information of the merchants:
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 11.
"I have to communicate to you, that the Seals of government have been put upon all the warehouses of British merchants, and of British subjects who are foreign guests.
"An embargo is likewise laid upon all British shipping in Cronstadt, &c. I have considerable satisfaction in saying, that only the four ships herein after mentioned have been seized.
"Timely information of that hostile intention was given, and by the great exertion of Mr. Crocker, all the others were loaded and despatched. The ships detained are the Elbe, Betsy, Apollo, and Mary. The Apollo was afterwards liberated."
The Austrian messenger who sailed from Dover some time since with dispatches from prince Stahremberg to the Austrian ambassador at Paris, returned on Saturday with an answer; report says, that prince Stahremberg's departure from this country will very shortly take place. The Messenger arrived at Deal on Friday, on board the Lynx sloop at which time a cartel from Holland also reached the Downs.
A gentleman of the name of Jones, arrived in town yesterday, from Verdun, and had a conference with Mr. Canning, at the Foreign Office, in Downing Street, and also with Mr. Pole, the Secretary of the Admiralty. Mr. Jones states that all the American prisoners at that place, who had been taken during the war on board of English vessels, have been set at liberty, and allowed to return home. Among them are several pursers, lieutenants, warrant officers, &c. yet they were all discharged, with only the allowance of common seamen. The discharge of these prisoners, clearly shew that Buonaparte is anxious to conciliate America. Indeed, in the present state of things, in relation to England, it is sound policy.
GOTTENBURGH MAILS. RUSSIAN UKASE.
To Count Nicolay Petrovitch Romanoff.
In consequence of the present political circumstances, which have compelled us to break off all connexion with Britain, we order:
I. An embargo to be laid on all British ships in our harbours, and on all property of the British on board of the same, as also on that at 'Change and in the custom-house pack-houses.
II. Their immovable property, and what does not consist of goods, to be left in their possession as heretofore, but not to be allowed to be sold, mortgaged, or transferred into other hands. Taking such measures merely from our evident mercy to them, we hope they will not, during the existing differences, transgress their duty by actions which might prove prejudicial to Russia, and thus incur our just displeasure, but live in due quietness and tranquility.
III. Concerning the embargo, a committee is to be appointed at this port, of the most respectable Russian merchants, and one member of the College of Commerce: authorising you to select these men, we leave it to you to form this committee, and to inform us of the same.
IV. Similar committees to be appointed in Riga and Archangel, which are to be dependent on the one here. The selection and appointment of the members of them to be left to the military governors, directing also the civil department, and where no such are, to the civil governors.
V. The charges which may accrue on this occasion to be provided from the revenues of the respective custom-houses, and placed to the account of the sequestered ships and goods. We are, &c.
(Signed by his imperial majesty's hand.)
ALEXANDER.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 28, 1807.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 9.
Since the 8th inst. the Sound has been so blockaded by the English ships, that no vessels can go out or enter Copenhagen to pay toll, without being obliged to come under their guns.
On the 10th, some boats which went out from this harbour, took a large three-masted ship, and brought her into Kallebostrand.
Between the 17th and 20th Oct. 56 English ships arrived at Riga; and on the 15th Oct. three here lying at Cronstadt.
GOTTENBURGH, Dec. 7.
Various travellers, chiefly English, have this week arrived from Russia, who all report that a large body of Russian troops are marching to the frontiers of Swedish Finland.
SMYRNA, October 1.
A small English squadron cruizes before the Dardanelles, and obstructs the communication between Constantinople and Smyrna.
Translated from French papers, received at New-York and Philadelphia.
PARIS, Dec. 5.
We announced some days since, that several Russian vessels of the line had arrived at Lisbon; the Madrid Gazette this day received, of the 24th Nov. confirms the intelligence.
By letters from L'Orient, of the 8th November, we learn that his majesty's frigate Cybelle had arrived there from America, last from Chesapeake Bay.
December 13.
The Portuguese are well satisfied as to the intentions of the French, and have received them with enthusiasm, as their saviours. It is said the Prince Regent has directed his course towards the Brazils: the people of Lisbon complain bitterly of his conduct, and particularly for having caused the cannon of Fort Berlier to be spiked up, for the purpose of permitting a free access to the English, and afterwards having joined them. He left behind a proclamation addressed to his subjects.
HAMBURG, Dec. 5.
A family compact is spoken of between the present reigning houses of Russia, Sweden and Denmark, each of them being branches of the house of Oldenbourg which traces its origin to the ancient kings of Scandinavia, and even as far back as Odin.
Letters from Sweden state that the English, previous to leaving the Sound requested permission from the king of Sweden to winter their troops in Scania, for which a very great subsidy would be paid —But the Swedish monarch replied that his own army not being on the war establishment, the independence of his dominions would not allow him to admit foreign troops therein.
FRANKFORT, Nov. 30.
It is believed at Stockholm, that since the audience granted by the king of Sweden to the Russian ambassador, that sovereign has determined to make a common cause with Russia and Denmark against England, as the latter in her declaration for blockading the continent, has not even excepted Sweden. This arrangement against the British ministry, reduces England to one port on the continent —Gibraltar.
KONIGSBERG, Nov. 22.
Several English families have arrived here from Petersburg and Riga, in hopes to find a passage to their country, but all intercourse between this place and England is entirely prohibited. Some of them propose to go to Sweden, but it is probable that all intercourse between that country and England, before this, is prohibited, and perhaps it will be easier to pass to America than to England.
MILAN, Nov. 9.
The nearer the time of the arrival of the sovereign of Italy approaches, the more does the importance of its inhabitants augment. All the preparations were long since terminated, and notwithstanding every day the desire to give to the monarch a reception worthy of him gives rise to new projects of rejoicings. While awaiting the happy day on which this capital will enjoy a blessing so generally desired, there has just been published here, as well as throughout the whole extent of the monarchy, a royal decree, dated from Fontainbleau the 30th of last month, by which his majesty has called under arms 10,000 Italian Conscript, intended to complete the army of the kingdom for this year. According to the directions of this royal act, the half of the above mentioned Conscript will be immediately put into actual service, while the remaining 5000 will remain in service to be called upon afterwards, if circumstances require it—The lists are to be drawn up in the ten last days of December, and all those intended for actual service are to join their respective corps by the 15th of January. Colonel Sorbler, aid-de-camp to the Prince Vice Roy, some time since on a mission to Constantinople, returned to this capital on the 5th.
Acording to intelligence from Ancona of the 24th of October, general Lemarrois, aid-de-camp to the emperor, has arrived in this city, where he was preceded one day by the officers of the staff, as also by the generals Duhesme and Duratte. On the 22d, colonel Gifinga, chief of the said staff, went to Senegallia, to offer to the commander of the Russian convoy at quarantine in the latter port, all the supplies which could be necessary to him and his troops: his excellency being desirous, agreeably to the intentions of his majesty the emperor, that those friendly troops should be treated, during their stay in his dominions, with all the attentions due to the brave warriors of the north.
All doubt respecting the evacuation of Egypt by the English is removed. The last advices from Trieste announce that the wreck of the English army which has escaped diseases and the Turkish scimitar has arrived in the island of Malta. The same advices state that the movements of the Russian squadron, under the orders of admiral Sinivin, is to be attributed to the retreat of admiral Collingwood from before the Dardanelles. As for the squadron which the English commander has left upon the station, it is so weak that it will probably be obliged to withdraw if the Turkish fleet attempts to go out of the Strait.
CONSTANTINOPLE, October 16.
General Sebastiani has received by a courier, arrived here from Paris, official intelligence that the republic of Ragusa had been incorporated into the kingdom of Italy, and has communicated that event to the Ottoman ministry.*
November 10.
Copenhagen enjoys at this moment a happiness long desired, that of possessing anew within its walls the Prince Royal. On the evening of the 6th this beloved prince re-entered this capital after a long and painful absence and alighted in good health and with the joyful acclamations of the inhabitants, at his palace of Amalienbourg, accompanied by the prince Frederick de Hesse. His presence has reanimiated the courage of all classes and given new life to works already commenced for the defence of the country. In pursuance of orders from
*Thus the last Republic in Europe is overthrown, and by the very means that Mr. Jefferson predicted would destroy every kingdom. About 10 years since, Mr. Jefferson predicted that by this time there could not remain a kingdom in Europe. It is to be hoped that he is a better statesman than prophet.
his highness, they are at this moment erecting numerous batteries upon different points of the coast of Zealand but they are particularly employed in constructing two grand ones intended to maintain the free navigation of the Great Belt. The examination of the conduct of the officers to whom the defence of Copenhagen and of the Island of Zealand was entrusted is begun; the council of war appointed for that purpose has already commenced its sittings. Major general Peyman, rear admiral Lutkens, adjutant general Kirchhoff, and col. Breifeld, commandant of the artillery, have received orders to continue under arrest. Gen. Waltersdorff, one of the Danish Commissioners who signed the capitulation, has published, in the name of himself and his colleagues, a relation of the interview which they had upon that occasion with the English commissioners. It appears from that document published in the Gazette of this city, that the sign of the flames which enveloped Copenhagen, far from softening the hearts, of the English Deputies, only made them increase their unjust demands. In vain did M. de Waltersdorff appeal to the honour and the humanity of the English generals to induce them to abide by the conditions which had first been proposed by themselves. Admiral Popham would yield nothing, and contented himself with replying to all that was urged to him by that brave soldier, "No! we must have every thing that swims."
[Our translator observes, "The account of general Waltersdorff, above referred to follows, but as it is very long, though interesting, I have not translated it."
VIENNA, Nov. 13.
The marriage of his majesty the emperor with the Princess Maria Beatrice will not take place at the period which was at first fixed, but on the 20th of the next month.
PETERSBURGH, October 28.
The emperor Alexander returned to this capital on the 23d in good health, from a journey which he made to Witepsk. The grand duke Constantine since his return from the army has been directed to form a plan of improvements to be introduced into the army. He has commenced the work with great zeal and activity, and has, it is asserted, already submitted his plan for the approbation of his august brother. He has also introduced with considerable success into two companies of the cadets of whom he is commander, the French exercise, which will be also introduced into the whole imperial army, except among the light troops, such as the Cossacks and others. We have received in this capital the disagreeable news, that since the refusal of prince Romanzow to renew the treaty of commerce with Great-Britain, English armed ships take all vessels sailing from ports interdicted to the English bound to Russia, as well as those which are bound from Russia to the said ports. However, we do not know of their having as yet taken any vessel really Russian; but considerable property belonging to that nation, shipped in neutral bottoms. Notwithstanding this unfriendly conduct, the last advices from Cronstadt state that several English vessels have just arrived in that port.
CASSEL, November 2.
All the preparations for the reception of our new sovereign are completed, and the day on which king Jerome will make his entry into his kingdom is ardently desired throughout the nation.

One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY last October from the Subscribers, living in Monroe County, two Mulatto Men, ISAAC CONNER and WILLIAM CONNER, (brothers) both very bright mulattoes. Isaac is about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, stout and well made, is marked on the under lip with a small reddish spot, and a scar on his forehead occasioned by the stroke of a whip: on one of his feet there is also a scar made by an axe: he is 22 years of age.
Bill is 20 years of age, about 5 feet 10 inches high, also stout and active, and wore his hair in a cue of 6 or 8 inches in length. It is supposed they will attempt to get to Norfolk, as they have some acquaintances there, and were heard of in the neighbourhood of Williamsburg in company with some free mulattoes, who lives on Queen's Creek. Whoever confines them in jail so that we get them again, shall be entitled to the above reward.
