RUSSIAN FETE. LONDON, Oct. 6.
It cannot but be a subject of proud exultation to contemplate the very marked and distinguished manner in which his majesty the emperor of Russia has recently thought proper to honour the British merchants resident at & trading to Petersburg. The occasion upon which his imperial majesty was pleased to compliment them in the way he did, was one which materially related to the commercial interests of that extensive empire. It was nothing less than laying the foundation stone of a new exchange.—The emperor attended the ceremony, and every English merchant in the place was invited. The merchants of other nations were not so favoured. The invitation to them was neither general, or accompanied with those circumstances of respect and esteem which were manifested with regard to our countrymen. The first stone of the projected structure was laid with due solemnity; the current coins of Russia were deposited beneath the stone, and, during the whole of the scene, full bands of military music attended, by command of the emperor, and played a number of the matchless compositions of Mozart. When this grand ceremony had concluded, his majesty requested the attendance of our merchants at a splendid entertainment he proposed giving upon so auspicious an event. The imperial summons was obeyed, and a more interesting spectacle was never beheld. The emperor presided in person, and condescended to perform the honours of the feast. The table was spread with every delicacy that could be procured, and the choicest wines added to the luxuriance of the royal treat. The desert was rendered by a circumstance which accompanied it, even more agreeable than the dinner; for after numerous toasts had gone round, and success had been drank to the new undertaking, his majesty unfolded a packet, containing a quantity of gold medals, each of the value of about six guineas in weight, but inestimable in another point of view—on the one side was the bust of the emperor, a striking and accurate likeness, and on the reverse was the elevation of the new imperial Exchange, precisely as it was intended to be erected. His majesty presented one with his own hand to every British merchant, at the same time desiring them to preserve it, as a memorial of his respect for the first commercial nation in the world, and as an indication of that strict friendship he always wished towards England. The prosperity of the emperor's reign—the harmony of the alliance between England and Russia—were drank, with various other appropriate toasts. The festival was protracted till a late hour.
BERLIN, Sept. 23. On the 20th their majesties set out for Potsdam, on their way to Magdeburg; and on the 22d they proceeded, by the way of Hall, to Magdeburg, where they will remain this day and tomorrow; after which they will repair to the head quarters at Nauenburgh. The queen is to remain only two days with his majesty, after which she will return to this city. Count Haugwitz has followed the king to head quarters. During the absence of the ministers, a French cabinet courier, named Ory, has arrived here from Paris, with a letter from the emperor to our king, and set out yesterday on his return, with an answer. It is stated that the French Envoy at this court has demanded passports for himself and his suite. It is believed that the French troops are falling back from Westphalia, but not from Francoia, where they are on the contrary increased.
September 20. One of the most gratifying sights to patriotism was yesterday afforded by the march of the troops from Pomerania to join the grand army in Saxony. Yesterday the queen's regiment of dragoons passed through, the same that so gloriously determined the first battle fought by Frederick the Great at Molwitz. It is the strongest regiment in the service, consisting of ten squadrons, the whole of them picked men, admirably mounted, full of fire, and of the agility derived from constant discipline. The officers dined with the Queen at Charlottenburg; the privates had presents.
Yesterday some grenadier battalions entered, which move onwards to-morrow. The discipline, the determined spirit, and the eagerness to engage, of all the Prussian troops, is not to be imagined, except by those who are witnesses of it. Let the revered Monarch of Prussia only utter his royal mandate "go no further," to the destruction that is preparing to overwhelm Europe, and his faithful army will give irresistible force to the words. It is certain that several provinces of the Prussian monarchy have already intreated permission to raise regiments at their own expence.
MARBURG, Sept. 20. The Prussian army on our frontier is stronger every day. General Kalkreuth has taken the position of general Blucher. His right is posted towards Munster; his left is on the side of the East Friesland. General Blucher, who joined General Kalkreuth's corps some days since, has now moved more to the left, and occupies the territory of Waldeck, opposite to the Hessian frontier. General Van Ruchel, whose head quarters are at Gottenheim, has advanced his position in a right line partly towards General Blucher. To his left, behind the Elbe, the grand army is formed, commanded by Marshal Mollendorf and his majesty in person, which is computed at seventy thousand infantry and sixteen thousand cavalry. Its present situation is in the vicinity of Berg. Fourteen thousand men entered this camp between the 14th and 16th instant; and according to the orders of Mollendorf, all the troops in Magdeburg must be encamped by the 22d. Further on, to the left, are the troops in Silesia,
under prince Hohenlohe, to which it is said, twenty thousand Saxons are to be added. The latter corps has two reserves in its rear, one at Custrin and the other at Bober. Large magazines are forming upon the Oder.
HANOVER, Sept. 19. Great movements of troops take place here.—The fortress of Hameln has been fully provisioned for three months. Great diligence is used in the repairs of the fortifications of Nienburgh. September 21.
Baron Ingerleben, it is said, has been appointed minister of the Hanoverian department, by his majesty the king of Prussia. Lieutenant general Von Ruchel's head-quarters are still at Mullhausen. General Kalkreuth's corps is not to march thro' Hanover, but to take another destination.
HAMBURGH, Sept. 26. Letters from Macklenburg and Pomerania say, that 60,000 Russian troops are expected very shortly in the ports of the Baltic, where quarters are already bespoken. Immense quantities of corn from Russia have lately been imported into Hanover. The whole Russian Polish frontier is covered with small camps of 5 to 10,000 men, where the men are continually exercising in firing at a mark. General Kutusow and prince Bragaton are departed from Petersburg to the army.
The king of Sweden, who is returned to Sweden, is expected back in 14 days to Pomerania. The Swedish force in Lauenburg increases, and a junction with the Prussians is talked of.
For these three days past a report has been in general circulation here, that the English, having landed again with considerable reinforcements in Calabria, had, supported by the inhabitants, surrounded and totally defeated and cut to pieces the army of General Massena. The French accounts from Naples up to the 5th inst. positively assert, that the English have all returned to Sicily, and that all the rest of the country is in the hands of the French.
MUNICH, Sept. 13. The third battalions and fourth squadrons of all the French regiments in Bavaria, have orders to march to France, via to Strasburgh. The officers and men are to be distributed in Alsace, and to proceed immediately to their task, namely, to receive the 50,000 conscripts, to exercise them, and as they are trained, to conduct them to the grand army in Germany. Those who break up last are to arrive in one month at Strasburgh. These measures, the departure of so many French depots of ammunition, &c. in and out of France, with the arming of other powers, lessen all hopes of peace more and more daily.
From an English Publication. LONGEVITY.
That instances of longevity are not so rare in modern times as is usually imagined, the subjoined list, collected from various sources, is a curious proof. That we might not swell it to an inconvenient length, none have been inserted who have not attained the 130th year, or whose longevity have not appeared to be well attested. The date affixed to each name is the year in which each person died, when that has been ascertained; or when not, the latest year in which each is known to have lived.

It will be perceived under our head of the Congressional proceedings that the President has recommended a suspension of the Non Intercourse bill , as it is commonly called, and that a bill had been brought into the house of Representatives for that purpose by Mr. Randolph, which we have very little doubt will pass. The opinions which we have uniformly advanced upon this measure, are known to our readers. We deprecated the measure in its origin, and predicted it would be abandoned. It has been but few weeks in operation, and has produced no loss or inconvenience to any, but our own citizens, and much of both we understand, have been experienced. The law itself is a curious specimen of legislative perspicuity, for it is well understood that of the officers for carrying into execution, two of them do not give the same construction to the same parts.
Yesterday arrived in Hampton Roads, his Britannic majesty's frigates Cambrian , captain Beresford, and Melampus , captain Hawker. The Triumph , of 74 guns, rear-admiral Sir Richard Strachan, is off the Capes, and it is said that the Leopard , of 50 guns, was to the southward of the Capes a day or two since. The Caesar of 84 guns on her passage from Halifax to the Chesapeake was dismayed, and obliged to return. The Bellona , of 74 guns, and Squirrel sloop of war, remain in Hampton Roads.
Four days since, captain Hawker, of his Britannic majesty's frigate Melampus , sent an officer on board of an American ship from Hamburg bound to Philadelphia, on 50 days, (gives to the 19th of October) the captain of which informed, that there had been an action between the French and Prussians, in which the former were defeated; and that Hanover had been restored to Great-Britain.
The General Assembly, with an unanimity which is equally honourable to the electors and the elected, have confirmed the Executive appointment of Mr. Creed Taylor, as Judge of the Richmond Chancery District court.
The Senate has re-elected Mr. R. Taylor of Orange, their Speaker, and the Governor met with no opposition.
Nothing of importance has yet, occupied the attention of the legislature; but if the Assembly bestow on the communication of Governor Cabell, that attention, which is due to the talents, elegance, and import of the publication, the legislative proceeding of Virginia, may be expected to afford a more interesting subject of attention, than they have hitherto been entitled to.

Captain Sebastiani, from Madeira, informs us, that Mr. LAMAR, the American consul, unfortunately fell from a bridge, on the 22d ult. and broke his neck. The governor appointed, provisionally, GEORGE DAY WELCH, esq. to attend the duties of the consulate; from whom capt. S. received much polite attention. ( Charleston Courier. )
From the Baltimore American, (a Republican Paper.)
The non-importation act of the last session was evidently intended by Congress as an intimation to the British nation of the powerful means we possessed of seriously annoying her, and as a manifestation of our fixed determination of employing those means in case her deportment in relation to the United States should not become of a more friendly character. Upon this act of Congress was founded a special mission. And we are happy in learning that the British government has met our ministers full half-way and upon ground very favourable to us. The British commissioners Lords Holland and Auckland have, we are assured, brought into the negotiation dispositions the most amicable. In this friendly state of things, pending a negotiation begun and hitherto conducted upon equitable and amicable principles, does not liberality as well as sound policy call upon Congress immediately to suspend the non-importation act. It is devoutly to be wished that the president will in a special message recommend it to them. Such a measure as politik as it would be magnanimous would obviously remove many obstacles now in the way of our able and virtuous ministers; and it would be a demonstration to the British commissioners that our non-importation act would indubitably go into full and complete operation in case the objects of our special mission should not be attained.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the Pilgrim, capt. Wheelwright, from Rotterdam, arrived at Boston from Holland, papers have been received to the 17th October. They are full of war looking movements in France, Prussia, Russia, &c. The Prussian army had actually been joined by twenty thousand Saxons, and the Russians are in much strength—though at a great distance.—The French-Dutch armies were on their march for Germany. Every engine within the control of Buonaparte, appeared to be in motion, to give effect and success to his attack on Prussia. At the same time negotiations were still in operation between France and Prussia; which, in the opinion of some gentlemen, would produce an accommodation of the existing differences between those two powers.
FROM SPAIN.
Captain Clark, from Cadiz, who arrived at Boston, informs, that when he sailed a fleet of ten sail of the line, (nine French and one Spanish, the remains of the combined fleet defeated off Trafalgar) had dropped down with wind and water aboard, to proceed to sea the first opportunity. It was conjectured they were bound to the Spanish Main.—Admiral Collingwood, with four sail of the line, was cruising off Cadiz harbour.
Extract from an address of the army of Haiti, to the general in chief.
HENRY CHRISTOPHE.
Tyranny has abated with the destruction of the tyrant! Liberty is borne again: From the seventeenth we are at last free.
The principles which you have always interested yourself in, and which you had the courage to communicate to the generals in those barbarous times, when even the least suspicion brought the most innocent statesman to the scaffold, has operated as an electric fire.
Vengeance is accomplished, and the army only wait your presence to concur in the formation of a social compact, which is to bind us—a constitution on at last, which shall flow from the general will; in which every citizen shall find his own guarantee, and the most sacred right of property: No such a constitution as was made in the secret cabinet, and through the instigation of those interested; which was only calculated to flatter the caprices of a single man, whose actions were opposed to every principle of liberty.
Having freed ourselves from oppression, we have sworn that we will not separate ourselves, until the new constitution by which we will be governed, shall be proclaimed—until we have approved the same, and sworn to obey it—until, resembling the custom of old warriors, we have publicly acknowledged you to be the chief of the government.

COGITATIONS.
From a variety of information which we have obtained, and from a correspondence between certain events of a cotemporary date, we do not hesitate to offer it as our opinion, that the movements of the Spaniards some time since and those more recent, are the result of an understanding and co-operation between the Spaniards and Colonel Burr—That the Spaniards have been put in motion by the artifices of Yrujo, between whom and Burr a mysterious intimacy was carried on when Burr was last in Philadelphia.
The professed design of Col. Burr, no doubt has been an attack upon Mexico, but every man who is at all acquainted with that man's depth of design, and qualifications for mystery, must be assured that he is not likely to disclose his real designs through indiscretion, or excess of candour and openness of character.
From the affidavit of the attorney of the United States for Kentucky, which we subjoin to this article, it will be perceived that the executive of the United States has not been inattentive to the movements of Mr. Burr and his partisans; and it will be seen that, from what the attorney of the United States has stated, the projects of Mr. Burr were penetrated to the bottom.
To us it appears, that the designs of Mr. Burr were not confined to one, or two, or more, specific objects—but that he had one grand object in view, of which the knowledge was confined to very few, perhaps his own breast—that of raising himself to a powerful station over a separate government and an independent territory—to become, himself, the law giver and the founder of a new power, separate from every other power of influence.
This design is by no means too stupendous nor too daring for the man—with adequate materials and in a suitable position, his character, altogether, would fit him for such an enterprise; the only question to be considered then, is, whether the circumstances were fitted for the design—so well as the man was fitted for the purpose in a fit situation?
Under particular circumstances, no doubt, there might be a prospect for Mr. Burr to accomplish such a design.
If the people of the western country were tired of peace, prosperity, and civil liberty.
If the United States was possessed of an enormous military establishment, and the commanders traitors, and the soldiery, like all mercenaries, fitted to support the pretensions of any plausible usurper.
If the country was invaded at one extreme, and a great body of disaffected men, without character, patriotism or virtue, at the other, ready to open their arms to any daring leader who would promise them national plunder.
If by secret machinations, he had prepared in our capital towns a great body of disaffected, and seduced numerous young men from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Charleston—if he had by intrigues with governors or deputy governors of states or territories; with judges and law officers of other states and territories; if he had prepared, either the resources of money, stores, brass field pieces, ammunition, arms, &c. &c. and the co-operation of such persons—then indeed might Mr. Burr have calculated upon some chance of elevating himself either on an empire—or a gibet.
But the benevolence and mercy of our principles of government, have been so exercised as to defeat every effort of a tendency such as those we have sketched hypothetically.
But it is not to be supposed that a man who could conceive such a design, would be so little of a general as not to be provided with secondary or a third or fourth dernier resort.
The people may not be easily brought to revolt from peace and prosperity, nor to incur the inevitable expenses of a new arbitrary and armed government—for such would be the inevitable effect of a revolt—the people would not be found tractable, nay it would be found dangerous to tamper with them—and after giving warning with the drum and rogue's march, they might end with the rifle. A sagacious man would foresee and avoid this.
The army might be perceived not to be sufficiently numerous if willing to drag on the people.
A foreign enemy might suddenly find so much occupation at home, as to render all attempts upon us futile.
Or the indignation of an aroused nation might be poured forth against the invaders and the traitors.
Here then then there must be another resource—an understanding may be contrived between the internal conspirator and the officers of the neighbor-
ing foreign nation. If that nation itself was likely to undergo a total revolution—nay so general and entire as a transfer from one hemisphere to the other; the well informed officers of such a nation could not be wholly uninformed of such an apprehended event, and might be willing to listen to, and to favour any project which might secure them against the vicissitudes of such events; and this understanding might be predicated, not only on a very general scale of conquest and success, but upon the contingency of several degrees of inferior consequences. Such a project as this, for example, might be conducted through Yrujo in Philadelphia now, as well as through Guardoque seventeen years ago, and while the Spaniards might be seduced by the idea of a separation of Ohio and Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee and the Mississippi territory, and their erection into an independent government; the Spaniards might listen to this on motives of various policy.
To erect a barrier between their colonies and Mexico and the United States.

From a pre-concert with foreign powers who may have furnished money or supplies, to favour expeditions, which they call divisions —such as the expedition of Miranda —and the project of Burr .
It is worthy of remark—that the bills drawn by Burr (and some of them to the amount of 10,000 dollars have been lately honoured in this city) are on a person of the name of Ogden in New York, a relation of Miranda's Ogden , and connected with the house of Dayton and Co.
The name of the author of the QUERIST who advocated in the Ohio Gazette a separation of the union—is BLENNERHASSET , he is an Irishman, and of the family of Blennerhasset in the county of Kerry in Ireland: his family are all vehement royalists.—We think this early notice of the man and circumstance necessary, as it may hereafter explain things at present inexplicable.
These loose speculations and hints may in the end be of some service—all we shall say to those who are too apt to place little dependence on newspaper materials, not to carry their indifference or their disregard of newspaper intelligence beyond the bounds of discretion.
The following proceedings in a federal court and before a federal judge, we deem very extraordinary in the judge, as the law passed after the expiration of Blount's conspiracy , we should think would have afforded, independent of the supreme law of salus populi , a very ample and substantial authority, not only for binding over Mr. Burr, but for sending him in close custody to the seat of government.

* Salus Populi! For God's sake let the people of America guard against this Salus Populi , the dreadful instrument of Jacobinism. It was this principle that governed the French revolutionists in their bloody deeds. Let us have laws fixed, and not this wild system of Salus Populi , which too often means the will of infuriated demagogues.—Ed. Ledger.
WESTERN AFFAIRS.
Since the disclosure to the publick, made under the authority and by the permission of General Eaton, the political state of our western country has become seriously important. We have therefore thought that the following production, which is a specimen of the language held in some of the western papers, on the subject of a separation of the transmontane from the Atlantick states will not be uninteresting to our readers. Bos. Rep.
From the Ohio Gazette.
Of all the causes that produced our colonial war, which terminated in the establishment of our independence, it has appeared to me, that the most operative, if it has been fully appreciated by our politicians, has however been least insisted upon. Our complaints and our struggles against the mother country, however they have been attempted to be bastardized by the blunders of the ignorant or the craft of the designing had really a commercial and no other parentage. The unbiassed judgment of posterity will not doubt that the good people of the colonies however justly entitled to all the rights they have vindicated were nevertheless, in establishing them, from beginning to end, the unconscious instruments of a small party or interest amongst themselves, namely the commercial. To prove this truth, the impartial history of our own times will adduce ample evidence without need of citing our early petitions and remonstrances to Britain, which alone would place it beyond all doubt.
That the colonies then in effect took upon them the burden of the war for the advantage of merchants, although the issue of it has produced the greatest benefits to us all, is so far our concern at this day, as to induce us to examine the influence of the present commercial interests of the United States at large and the Western country in particular. And this becomes the more necessary as the present party in power are said by their adherents to be political economists of the school of Monsieur Quesnay, desirous to promote the agricultural at the expense of the commercial interest, whilst their predecessors in office, as rigid followers of Mr. Cobbett, could advance an entirely opposite system—but neither the one nor the other will promote the resources of any country without great modification.
If the opinion I have formed, be well founded, that the war we happily concluded by our independence was produced by the interest of the mercantile system on the Atlantick, I have been led also to suspect that the political federation of the states comprizes within it in like manner the spirit of a commercial confederacy, the effects of which I trust our penetration and conduct will succeed to direct to further beneficial consequences to our country, than are contemplated or regarded by its members. In examining the commercial history of all nations, I have no where found a parallel to such a degree of trade carried on in any other country, as that of our own; with the protection of so small a navy and the assistance of so much foreign capital. The extent of our navy is known to every one, but it is not probably equally understood that two thirds of the capital made use of is not ours, but that of foreigners and belligerents; some of it embarked in our home and foreign trade, the rest in our carrying trade; what influence may from this source flow into this country, it much concerns us to weigh and watch; but I have observed some resemblance in the general character of our Atlantick commerce and the Teutonic confederacy founded in Germany about the middle of the 13th century—
there was created a commercial confederacy of cities distant from each other in local situation and interests; the Hanseatick towns associated for trade, not only all the maritime cities of Germany but even comprehended some of France and England, the whole directing their partial views and interest of individual members to the profit of the company. The Atlantick confederacy has conciliated the different interests of the northern and southern states with the general profit of the whole. The Teutonic confederacy was carried on without interfering with the various sovereigns on which they depended; the Atlantick confederacy has hitherto progressed with a successful accommodation of the various sovereignties and local interests of the respective states. The German confederacy became objects of the jealousy and victims of the hatred of other nations by the arrogance arising out of their prosperity in appropriating to themselves the trade of the world which they had engrossed; the Atlantick confederacy may reach a similar prosperity but but will expire by a like fate.
From this hasty sketch of the state and principles of our Atlantick commerce, we are naturally led to ask in what manner these cis-Allegany countries can control or be effected by its interests. As to the latter member of this query I have already said enough to shew how diligently we should guard against the insinuation of its influence among us—and shall reserve myself on that topic for such further animadversions as may be hereafter due to the contingent remarks of others, but as to the former, our means or motives to injure the commercial pursuits of our brethren on the Atlantick, will now engage my attention.
When I hear the suggestion made of the danger of ever rivaling the Atlantick states in their trade, I really expect some motive for uttering them worse than ignorance. That the whole western country must at least for a lapse of ages consent itself under the injunctions of nature in the condition of an agricultural and manufacturing country, is a proposition too evident to be seriously questioned by any one. In the present state of information it is equally known to the fishermen of Nantucket, and the rice planters of Georgia, that it will forever remain impracticable for our shipping to perform a return voyage against the currents of our long rivers; that the port of New-Orleans, our only outlet, must always from its situation be indefensible against a single frigate, and that from our distance from the sea and many temporary obstacles added to those that are already stated to be perpetual and insurmountable by ourselves. The Atlantick states or some other commercial power, must ever be carriers of our produce from New-Orleans.
It was no serious alarm therefore, of our being ever able to entertain the project of appropriating generally to ourselves either a part of their foreign or carrying trade that has hitherto engendered in the Atlantick mercantile interest the scheme of a zealous and narrow minded policy which they have succeeded to infuse into all our cabinets and councils against the advancement of our western interests since the revolution; which from the period of the reservation of the salt springs, to the last moderate increase of the price in those which are called congressional lands, our trusty representatives have so temperately forbore to expose to their constituents; the real object was the monopoly of the West India market. But that market they must share with and indeed abandon to us however our political situation may vary. It should not however be inferred that the use we can make of it for a great many years to come, can materially injure the commercial interest of the Atlantick states. How paltry then has been the jealousy of us conceived upon this ground. How mean and treacherous the concealment of it from the people! But how criminal has been every system of all our federal and representative cabinets, as regarding this division of the union, now marked to our citizens we will now enquire.
A wilderness, that hardly felt the footsteps of civilized man is pierced in the midst of foreign war. Our adventurous citizens first encountered all the miseries of the forest, and the savage warfare of the Indians, in prospect of acquiring a patrimony for their children. Their numbers are small, but they maintain their posts and even march against a foreign foe on their frontier, whilst their brethren are encountering him on the sea board. After many vicissitudes of hardship and privation, they are joined in the woods by their relations and friends, who only brought with them out of the revolutionary war, their scars and wounds, they received in fighting for their country, depending on her gratitude for the recompense of their labours. Thus united, all strive in common against the savages and participate in the equal prospect of indemnity from the state and from congress. In a short time they discover that those lands which owed all their worth to themselves, are ceded to the union. Indian titles are set up and extinguished by some trinkets and some spirits, and the real conquerors of the country either confined to the cornfields they had planted, or now left to pine unknown, in some more distant retreats of the wilderness—such has been the fortune of our adventurers into the country generally. Twenty years ago, from Pittsburgh to the Mississippi, particularly in Kentucky, such has been the retribution of our country to her children who have shed their blood for her honour and independence.
Notwithstanding all restrictions, however, of policy and injustice our country advances in population and settlements, immense numbers of emigrants from the old states flock to our woods, and unite with us in forcing the face of our wilderness to unbend somewhat of the rigour of its savage features, and take upon it the cheering smiles of agriculture. In ten or twelve years our disinterested statesmen on the Atlantick felicitate our delegates on the growing prosperity of our country, profess to them assurances of the fatherly love and protection of the federal government, invite them to return into the family of the union, from which they had escaped, by their emigration, so soon as they shall be entitled to re-admission therein, by some years probation in passing through the purgatory of a territorial government, when they shall be honoured, by being permitted to contribute to state and federal revenues, not through the coercion of an ordinance of Congress, but by their own representatives: when instead of no representative government at all, they shall be placed under two, without paying both of which, they will be neither able to protect themselves against Buonaparte or the great Mogul nor to make laws for the restraint of crimes, or the security of property in the woods.
Such air, or similar topics of comfort and ad-

monition have been swallowed by the large ears of our representatives—such they have echoed to their constituents.—The people on their side ill-fitted by their habits and occupations, for sounding the depth of these speculations, have innocently believed their interests, if not duly attended to, were not at least betrayed. But now they begin to inquire what mysterious complication of circumstances reduces them to the necessity of supporting two governments with two judiciaries to repress private wrongs and enforce private rights in a country, where both are few and simple, to contribute two revenues to two executives, some of them non-resident among them—and all alien to their interest. In short to pay the wages of a double representation which has hitherto neglected or sacrificed the proper objects of its mission. When sir we soberly interrogate ourselves on these subjects, we readily find a clue that will easily lead us out of the mazes of the labyrinth, in which we have so long wandered—we shall then behold in the open field of investigation into which I have perhaps first entered, the two principal, if not the only enemies of our rights and interests, ill founded prejudices of commercial growth and origin, in the Atlantick states, against the effects of our prosperity in the western country, and the neglect of that inquiry or information hitherto by our own citizens, which should enable them properly to appreciate their civil and political situation both present and to come. How far I may have deserved well of the country in reconnoitring the enemy in his trenches as I promised in my last, and have endeavoured in this paper, I will not presume to judge. At some after period when the warmth of interest, passion and party shall subside; I will patiently and I hope with dignity abide the judgment of my fellow citizens. In the same spirit I shall in my next paper, consider those objections that have occurred to me against the measure of a severance of the Union, with the refutation they may require. But I wish it understood, that I have no intention of recommending either the mode or the time in which it should be effected. An individual, embarked in the vessel of my country, when I alarm my shipmates, with the report that the helm is deserted or the ship is improperly managed—I do not presume to dictate to them how, or whether they shall steer till called upon to do so.—In the mean time however, the timid or designing amongst the crew, may do well to compose their alarms or regulate their schemes by an implicit assurance, that through all the changes and chances of the voyage—I shall always be found at my post, whether private honour or public duty may summon me.
QUERIST.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 3.
In committee of the whole on the state of the union, the President's message; Mr. Varnum in the chair. The speech having been read, Mr. Dawson offered the following Resolutions:
1. Resolved, That so much of the President's message as relates to the invasion of our territory by the troops of Spain, and the adoption of measures for the protection thereof, be referred to a select committee.
2. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States as relates to the repairs of our fortifications and the protection of our ports, towns and rivers, be referred to a select committee.
3. What relates to a revision and amendment of the laws for the punishment of crimes against the U. S. be referred to a select committee.
4. What relates to the prohibition of the African trade, be referred to a select committee.
5. What relates to the suppression of the duty on salt, the continuation of the Mediterranean fund, and the support of our revenue, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
6. What relates to the adoption of measures preparatory to the future appropriation of the surplus revenue of the U. S. be referred to a select committee.
These resolutions were all carried. After which Mr. Alston offered another: That so much of the President's message as relates to the further exploring the western waters, be referred to a select committee. Carried—The committee of the whole rose.
A message was received from the President of the United States, stating that though on account of the death of Mr. Fox, and from other causes, delays had taken place, yet our negotiations with Great Britain were now proceeding in a spirit of accommodation; and recommending a temporary suspension of the NON-IMPORTATION ACT, as follows:
MESSAGE
From the President of the United States, recommending the suspension of the act passed at the last Session of Congress, intitled, "An act to prohibit the importation of certain goods, wares, and merchandise."
Referred to Messrs. John Randolph, Marion, Van Corlandt, M'Creery, and Chandler.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America.
I have the satisfaction to inform you that the negotiation depending between the United States and the government of Great Britain, is proceeding in a spirit of friendship and accommodation which promises a result of mutual advantage. Delays indeed have taken place, occasioned by the long illness and subsequent death of the British minister charged with that duty. But the commissioners appointed by that government to resume the negotiation, have shown every disposition to hasten its progress: it is however a work of time; as many arrangements are necessary to place our future harmony on staple grounds. In the mean time, we find, by the communications of our plenipotentiaries, that a temporary suspension of the act of the last session, prohibiting certain importations, would, as a mark of candid disposition on our part, and of confidence in the temper and views with which they have been met, have a happy effect on its course. A step so friendly will afford further evidence, that all our proceedings have flowed from views of justice and conciliation, and that we give them willingly that form which may best meet corresponding dispositions.
Add to this, that the same motives which produced the postponement of the act till the fifteenth of November last, are in favour of its further sus-

pension: and as we have reason to hope that it may soon yield to arrangements of mutual consent and convenience, justice seems to require that the same measure may be dealt out to the few cases which may fall within its short course, as to all others preceding and following it. I cannot, therefore, but recommend the suspension of this act for a reasonable time, on considerations of justice, amity, and the publick interests.
TH: JEFFERSON.
December 3d, 1806.
Mr. Randolph moved its reference to a select committee—carried.
Mr. Thomas asked whether some communication from our ministers at London, did not accompany the message. The speaker informed him there was none.
The house took up the resolutions of the committee of the whole, relative to the President's message of yesterday, and carried them.
Mr. Southard offered a resolution, for appointing by ballot a chaplain tomorrow—carried.
Mr. Clay offered a resolution that a committee be appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alterations are necessary in the laws relating to post offices and post roads, and that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise—carried, and a committee of 17 appointed
Mr. Clay observed that great inconveniences arose in Philadelphia and New York on account of the distance of the post offices from a large part of each of those cities: to remedy the evil, he moved that the committee just appointed on post offices, &c. be instructed to enquire into the expediency of authorising the post masters of those cities, to establish other post offices, [similar to the London penny post offices.]
Mr. D. R. Williams move to add Washington city.
Mr. Crowninshield moved to add Salem, or rather he could wish the resolution to be more general, that all the populous cities might be accommodated, where necessary.
Mr. Quincy wished the resolution to be more general; if it should not be so, he wished to add Boston.
A message was received from the Senate, informing the house of their having elected the Rev. Mr. Sayrs chaplain for the ensuing session.
Mr. Clay thought that mentioning of other places was intended to defeat the resolution. Philadelphia and New-York are large cities: but it is not necessary to extend the privilege to smaller towns.
Mr. Crowninshield declared he had no intention of defeating the resolution.
On motion of Mr. Quincey, Boston; on motion of Mr. Crowninshield, Salem; on motion of Mr. M'Creery, Baltimore; on motion of Mr. D. R. Williams, Washington; and on motion of Mr. Marion, Charleston, S. C. were added to the resolution, which was carried, thus amended.
Mr. Bidwell offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee to consider what provision, if any, ought to be made by law, for taking evidence in case of contested elections of members of the house.
Several private petitions were presented: and the house adjourned.
THURSDAY, December 4.
The house proceeded to the choice of a chaplain. On the first ballot
Rev. Mr. Elliot, 52—Rev. Mr. Laurie, 50—scattering 2—no choice.
On the second ballot: Rev. Mr. Elliot 60; Rev. Mr. Laurie, 42; Mr. Sloan 1.
MR. J. RANDOLPH, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE TO WHOM WAS REFERRED THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF YESTERDAY, REPORTED A BILL FOR SUSPENDING THE NON-IMPORTATION ACT. IT WAS TWICE READ, AND REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE TO-MORROW.
Mr. Lewis observed that for several sessions the clerk's table had been loaded with papers relative to the erection of a bridge over the Potomac. A bill for that purpose had passed the house the last session, but owing to pressure of business or some other cause, was postponed in the senate. He would take the liberty of moving that the reports of the former committee and all the papers, be referred to a committee, to report by bill—carried—57 to 30, and a committee of five appointed.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) October 30.
The French privateer schooner Superb, of 14 guns, was brought into Port Royal yesterday, by lieut. Towningson, of the Drake sloop of war, captured by his majesty's schooner Pitt, lieut. Fitton, after a running fight of 18 hours; the particulars of which are as follows:—
On Thursday last, while the Pitt was lying at the Mole, she descried three schooners in the offing, when she instantly gave chase, and it was not until Sunday evening that the Pitt succeeded in coming up with them, and commenced an action with a French privateer schooner (the two others being her prizes), which continued from 5 to 7 o'clock within pistol shot, and several ineffectual attempts were made to board the Pitt by the privateer, when she bore off and engaged at long shot, until ten on Sunday morning; at which time lieut. Fitton succeeded, after much persevering and arduous exertion, in again bringing the enemy into close action, which became very warm, when the privateer, through the means of her sweeps, sheered off to some distance, but persevered in the engagement at long shot with great obstinacy until two o'clock, when lieut. Fitton the third time brought her, with the utmost difficulty, from the superiority of her sailing, to close action, and continued so until she was run a ground off Ocho Bay, in Cuba, when the crew deserted her, and got on shore, those wounded in the engagement excepted. She proved to be the French privateer schooner Superb, commanded by captain Dominic Veu, carrying 14 guns, 2 nine, 4 six, and 8 four pounders, and having 94 men on board, fifty of whom are supposed to have been killed and wounded in the action. By the reports of two American captains, who were on board the privateer during the engagement, it appears she lost, in killed, the second time the vessels were closely engaged, from 25 to 30 men. We are happy to state that only three men were slightly wounded on board the Pitt.
The Drake sloop of war hove in sight after the Superb had been run on shore, and assisted in getting her off. The wounded prisoners were put on board the Drake.
The Superb is said to be the same privateer which engaged the Peterel sloop of war off Charleston bar.
The determined and persevering exertions, and gallant conduct, displayed by lieut. Fitton, his officers and crew, in the above action, deserve the highest praise and commendation.
The captains, supercargoes (Messrs. Homes and Kay), and crews of the two American schooners, consisting of 19 persons, who were on board the Superb during the action, having been captured by her a few days previous, and treated politely, have arrived in the prize. The vessels were the schooner Gould, capt. Gould, from St. Thomas, bound to this island, and the schooner Snake, Davis, from the same place, bound to New-Orleans, and were ordered to proceed for Baracoa. Two of the crew of the latter vessel, who were on board the privateer, jumped over-board during the action, and perished.
LONDON, October 8.
PRUSSIA AND GREAT BRITAIN.
Notwithstanding the prospect of a speedy arrangement of the differences subsisting between this country and Prussia, the latter has been no farther relieved from the pressure of the war, than what is derived to her from the continuance of the blockade of the ports in the German Ocean. The order, for making prize of all vessels navigating under the Prussian flag is still in full force. Government, however, within these few days, have relaxed it so far as to give instructions, that Prussian vessels shall not be proceeded against in our Prize Courts. They are in the mean time, to be brought in as usual.
GEORGE R.
Additional instructions to the commanders of our ships of war and vessels, which have, or may have letters of marque against Prussia, and the town of Pappenburgh; and also to the judge of our high court of admiralty, Given at our court at St. James, the 24th day of September, 1806, in the forty-sixth year of our reign:—
Our will and pleasure is, and it is hereby ordered and directed, that all Prussian vessels and goods, and all vessels and goods belonging to the town of Pappenburgh, which shall be seized and detained by any of our ships of war or privateers, after the date hereof, shall be brought into port, and shall be carefully preserved in safe custody, but that no final adjudication of such vessels and goods shall take place, until our further pleasure thereon shall be signified, either for the restitution of said vessels and goods, or for proceeding to final adjudication therein.
By his majesty's command.

WHO HAS FOR SALE,  That pleasant place BELL VIEW. It contains TWO HUNDRED Acres, lying on the lower end of Barrett's Neck, Nansemond county, between Nanse- mond River and Chuckatuck Creek, fronting Newport-News, Hampton Roads, and is about 14 miles from Norfolk by wa- ter. There is on the land two good Dwelling Houses, one of them a two story frame house, 30 feet square, with a Kitchen, Wash House, Smoke House and Dairy, a large new Barn and Stable, and a Carriage House, a Spring House, and a never failing Spring. The other a new Dwelling House, a Kitchen, Quarter, &c. with a large Garden newly built of the best materials, and a good Stable. The land lies high and level, and is mostly covered with fells: it has a ditch and a fence from Nansemond to Chuckatuck, which prevents stock from going off or coming on the land; and is one of the best places for stock or equal to any in the country. The price will hardly exceed the worth of the buildings on the place if applied for soon. The payment will be expected in cash, as the terms will be remarkably low. tf
