CARLISLE, February 12.
On Monday the 8th inst. Edward Donnelly was executed agreeable to the Warrant issued by the Governor; a few days before his death he acknowledged the murdering of his wife, and afterwards consuming her body by fire; for some time before his Execution, he appeared to be in a deranged state, the Clergy of different denominations called to see him, in the Prison, but there was little appearance of Repentance and there is too much reason to believe, that his insanity was in a great measure feigned, before he was taken out of the jail, it took six men to hold him, and he had to be carried to the cart. On his way to the gallows, he was heard to express himself in the most violent manner against two or three persons, which it seems he thought were active in bringing him to justice, and spit at others who were near him. He pretended at some times he was God Almighty, and that they could not hurt him, but at another time he was heard to say, O God destroy us all—but one thing that betrayed his pretended insanity was, when the cap was drawn over his face, he said "I am gone," this did not look like the want of reason, but sober reflection. He was launched into eternity twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. A vast concourse of people attended; it is supposed not less than between 3 or 4 thousand were present, although the weather was so disagreeable that it must have prevented a great number from attending that otherwise would.
The following is the Confession of Edward Donnelly, as taken down by Mr. Arnold Duncan a few days previous to his death.
I EDWARD DONNELLY was born in Ireland, County of Donegal, near Letter Kenny, in the year of our Lord 1775. At the age of fifteen I began my career of wickedness, and was guilty of improper conduct with a female at my father's house, for which I left Ireland three years after. This transaction caused me to come to America, and I left my father's house for the city of Derry, with intent to take shipping. I arrived at Derry where I took shipping, my father followed me and insisted on me to return home with him, but I told my father that I had paid for my passage to America, and the captain would not return me the money which I had paid him for my passage. My father insisted on my returning home with him without the money, and said that he would rather his five sons should leave him as me—I then told my father, that if I even could get the money from the captain I would not go with him, but would go to America at this time, and would return to Ireland in two or three years after.
I arrived at New-Castle in the year 1794, where I remained but a short time. Came on to Cumberland county. Was married to Catharine Bandon, who bare me three children (who are all alive at this time,) and was in a high state of pregnancy with the fourth when I committed the horrid murder, for which I am about to suffer a just punishment.
I have since my arrival in America been often subject to the sin of intoxication; (which I now see is a very great one.) Several times when I have been in a state of intoxication I have abused and also beat my wife severely.
In August last, on a Saturday of said month, which appears to be the 8th, my wife, my eldest son who is 7 years old, a woman of colour and myself went to rake and bind rye in the field, about 2 o'clock of the day we left off binding rye in consequence of its being too dry to bind, we left the rye field and went to an oats field to cradle, I told my wife to go to the house to make ready some dinner for us, and my son to go with her to bring out a bottle of whisky and some water—he brought the water in a coffee pot but no whisky, which made me very angry, I then swore a great oath I would cradle through the oats up to the house, (the field joined the house) and abuse my wife for not sending the bottle with whisky; after having cradled in a short distance with a determination to abuse her, she came round a different way from me with the bottle, which ag-
gravated me more because I had to go back where she was with the bottle and whisky, I then took a dram of whisky, and some water, I then fell too to abuse my wife and struck her several times across the small of the back—the woman of colour then told me it was true what the people said, that I was a drunken rascal. I then told her she was the devil and if she would stop a little I would soon let her know it: I fell too and took the scythe off the cradle and swore a great oath I would cut off her head; when I had taken the scythe off the cradle the boy began to run from me. I told him to stop but he did not. I then struck him with the scythe, and cut him in the head and told him I would make him stop. my wife then took hold of the boy and threw him over the fence from me, I then followed the woman of colour and swore if I could ketch her I would cut off her head, but I being drunk she outrun me and got to a Mr. Bell's house before me, when I came to Mr. Bell's I asked Mr. Bell to grind my scythe that I wanted to cut off some people's heads which I had at the same time no notion of doing. After my scythe was ground I went to my house, my second son ran out of the door, I told him to stop but he did not, I then cut him in the head with the scythe in the same manner I cut my eldest son, he bled very much. I then took him in my arms and carried him into the house and washed his head with cold water, and laid him in the bed, finding him bleeding from the wound freely, frightened me so that I cried bitterly, and thought I would take my own life, but looking round the house got some cob webs and put it to the wound which stopped the bleeding immediately, which gave me a great deal of satisfaction. I then drank whisky very freely, took the two youngest children to bed with me and went asleep immediately, and never wakened until morning, which was Sunday the ninth. When I arose early and went to the stable to give my horses hay—after having given my horses hay, on returning to the house, I saw my wife and eldest son coming across the field, and went to meet them—they told me they lay in a rye shock all night in the field. I was very angry with her for laying out all night with the boy. I had not eaten anything from Saturday morning—I told her to go to the house and get us something to eat, and I would go to the field for my cradle and bottle, where I took the scythe off the day before. When going for the cradle and bottle, I saw horses tracts thro' the oats, which I supposed some person had rode through, I then came home in a great passion and would have my wife tell me who rode thro' the oats field—she denied knowing of any person riding through the oats, and would not tell me. A considerable time previous to this, I held out the idea to her that I was jealous of her, but at the same time did not believe it—indeed I had not the least ground to suspect anything of the kind, but that she was honest—I still persisted in holding out the idea of being jealous of her, and began to beat and abuse her to make her tell me who it was that rode through the field—she denied knowing who it was—I then drank more liquor, and got in a great rage—took up the gun and struck her with it—we then had some words—she asked me if I was going to kill her—I said I would if she would not tell me who it was that rode through the oats—she told me if I was to kill her she did not know. I then took the fire-tongs and beat her severely—she still begging of me for God's sake not to kill her. I then quit beating her in the house, got the waggon whip, and took my wife to the rye field to show me the shock where she and the boy lay all night, to know if she could see from the shock who it was that rode through the field. When I found she could see from the shock to the place where the horse went through, I fell too to beat her with the waggon whip until the lash flew off, to make her tell who it was that rode through the field, she still screaming for God's sake to spare her life—I paid no attention to her screams, and swore I would kill her, but at the same time had no intention of doing it. I then dragged her about the field for some time. I stopped dragging her and fell too with the stock of
the whip to beat her. She then said Oh! Ned if you are going to kill me, take care of the children. Immediately on her telling me to take care of the children, I turned the butt of the whip and gave her the fatal blow.
After finding her dead I picked her up in my arms and carried her to the rye shock & lay with her in my arms all night; the children at the same time in the house all night by themselves. About day break, on Monday morning, which was the tenth, I took her on my back and carried her to the house, made my three children get up from the bed and kiss her, at the same time making them believe she was asleep—some short time after I laid her in the bed that the children had risen from, and went to bed to her with the youngest, like a fool to pray, expecting to have her brought to life. After some time, finding praying in vain, I took a shoemakers knife and put it in her cold hand (her hand being shut and fingers stiff) I forced the handle of the knife into her hand where it stuck fast—I then took her hand in my hand, endeavouring to make her cut my throat, but recollecting the words she mentioned just previous to my killing her, Oh! Ned if you kill me take care of my children. I then desisted—Oh! what a horrid situation I was then in! I would have given the whole world if my wife had been alive. I then drank more whisky and sent my eldest son (the three children all this time present) to a neighbours house for a coal of fire, on his return I kindled a fire in the fire place, and took the two eldest children to the barn and shut them up (the youngest remaining with me) I immediately returned to the house, and put a quantity of wood on the fire—took her out of the bed and dashed her into the fire, at the same time swearing I would burn the Devil and send her into the elements with hell's fire. I then threw my shaving horse, cradle, and a quantity of wood into the fire on her, which made a fire so large, that at that time called, hell's fury.—Kept turning her about until the flesh was burnt all off her bones. I then went to the barn to look for the children, and on my return to the house found the head not burnt so much as her other parts—went out of the house and brought in some more wood; threw the wood on the fire to get her burnt as quick as I possibly could. After finding the bones not all burnt up, took the ax and pounded them and put them in the fire again.
I being thus engaged in this most dreadful act, forgot the children in the barn until next morning, which was the 11th of August, when I went to the far gable end of the barn, I found them there eating green peaches.—asked them where they slept, the eldest boy told me on the hay loft—I asked them how they got up, he told me his mammy was with them and lifted them up, and he then showed me where they had lain. I took them to the house. When they came to the house they asked me for their mother—I told them she went out of the window last night, and after giving them something to eat, took them to the barn and shut them up again—I returned to the house and began to smash the residue of the bones. After I was done smashing the bones, I carried out the greater part of the ashes and threw them on the ground.
I remained on the place in a melancholy state, some times working and at other times drinking, until the seventeenth day of August, when I was taken and brought to prison.
I often had a mind to kill myself while confined in prison, for I thought murder would not lie—The night after I received sentence of Death by the court, I made three attempts to take my life, one way in particular. I had three sewing needles, broke off the points and swallowed them, expecting they would destroy me—I thought my wife appeared to me three times while in prison and spoke to me, one time in particular she appeared with the child on her lap, lay along side of me, and checked me for singing songs.
Often in my drunkenness, my wife told me to quit drinking, that if I did not quit drinking, I would certainly do some mischief—she told me to swear against it if I could not quit it otherwise—I told her if I did, I would die.

COURT OF INQUIRY IN THE CASE OF GENERAL WILKINSON.
The following proceedings of the MILITARY COURT OF INQUIRY in the case of general WILKINSON have been communicated for insertion in the National Intelligencer.
The court being formed on the 16th inst. at the particular request of general Wilkinson, for the purpose of perpetuating testimony.—He presented himself and addressed that body.
GENTLEMEN,
I BEG leave to premise a few remarks before I proceed to call a witness.
Nothing could be so acceptable to me as to be confronted by my accusers, who have artfully and wickedly hung me up to the world for offences, which cannot but affect the feelings of a man of honor nearer than life; and wherefore am I refused this rightful indulgence? Is it because my enemies, conscious of the fallacy of their accusations, content themselves "spargere in vulgum voces ambiguas," and prefer to trust the result to the machinations of a free people, excited by the machinations of the friends and partisans of that conspiracy which I have defeated? Or is it because the eye of the injured man is insupportable to the sight of the base injurer?
Whatever may be the cause, it will not be denied, that the case is a hard one. It is indeed peculiarly so; and every person will admit, that to be criminated without an opportunity of defence, and to be condemned without a hearing, is a sad recompence for services acknowledged, and a poor encouragement to future sufferings and sacrifices in the public cause.
Thus circumstanced, and denied the opportunity to meet the testimony which may be opposed to me, I hope the peculiarity of my situation may be my excuse for defending my enemies, and daring them to a candid investigation. If then Mr. Clark will come before this court and answer interrogatories, I will not only defend myself against his foul imputations, but if the testimony which has been recently offered to me, be not greatly deceptive, I will convict him of forgery, perjury, and co-operation with Aaron Burr in his treasonable designs, and if his right worthy patron, the very gallant and honorable John Randolph, will step from the floor of privilege, and utter what has been ascribed to him in the public prints, I will institute an action of slander, and will give him an opportunity in a court of civil jurisdiction, to verify his assertion and satiate his vindictive spirit, or of being himself convicted of the most atrocious, wanton, and murderous calumnies which ever found place on record.
It is apparent from the mode of attack, that my accusers had rested much on the audacity of the assault, and the hateful aspect of the charges alledged, supported by the mock solemnity of a voluntary ex parte affidavit . They expected from the time—the place—the manner, and the circumstances of the accusation, to excite a torrent of indignation, which might prostrate reason and justice before prejudice and passion, and in a moment of popular phrenzy, sweep me from the lists of honor to the occlusion of all further enquiry.—Then indeed Mr. Randolph might with malignant delight have exclaimed "my end is completely answered" by the destruction of the man who dishonored me. The attempt was worthy its authors—worthy the cause it was destined to abet. It deserves all the merit which is due to desperation, and will meet the ample reward of full handed infamy. For I do still live—live in honor, and can assure you, gentlemen, I have fortunately saved from the casualties incident to an erratic life and the wreck of time, the means of my complete vindication, which shall be submitted to you, so soon as the testimony to support the accusation is brought forward.
In the mean time to invalidate, discredit and destroy the effect of whatever has been or may be said or swore by Daniel Clark to my prejudice, I pray

that his exparte voluntary affidavit submitted to the house of Delegates may be received by this court at its full estimate, and that I may be permitted to rebut it with such testimony as may now be had, and which if not perpetuated at this time, may by further delay be lost to me forever.
I therefore request that lieutenant Spence of the navy and lieutenant Murray of the army may be sworn.
The court then proceeded to take the testimony of lieut. Spence of the navy, lieutenant Murray of the army and Tho. H. Williams sec'y of the Miss. Ter.
The rules of the court having prohibited the publication of the testimony as it occurs, we can barely state from a bye stander of good authority, that Lt. Spence acknowledged he had embarked at Philadelphia with Madame D'Auvergue, Bollman and Alexander with the prey of Burr—that he bore a letter of recommendation from Burr to Daniel Clark, dined with Clarke in company with Bollman, that he bore letters from Bollman and Madame D'Auvergue (alias Norah Haskell) to Burr whom he expected to find at Nashville, Ten. but did not meet him until he got to Lexington, Ken.—that Dan. Clark gave him a letter of introduction to a gentleman on his route but that he did not deliver it.
Lt. Murray's testimony was we learn, of great importance. He declared, that on being urged to attack Baton Rouge he, after resisting the proposition made by judge Workman, and Lewis Kerr, applied to his friend Mr. Clark, then in New-Orleans who advised him to attack and take the place by all means, adding that he "was going to congress and would do him (M.) all the good there he could, that he would "inform the government it would require a large force to retake the place—and that before government could send down troops for the purpose, he (M.) would find himself in a situation to do as he pleased."
This happened in April or May, 1806. Mr. Williams was called to prove that Daniel Clark and D. Wadsworth were appointed on the part of the American commissioners, Claiborne & Wilkinson, to receive the Spanish archives at the surrender of the province of Louisiana which Mr. Williams did most amply and satisfactorily, stating the reasons why Mr. Clark was appointed.
The Military court have adjourned to the 14th of March, subject to the call of the president in the mean time.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 22d.
Captain Chew is the bearer of dispatches from Mr. Pinckney to the secretary of state. He informs us, and our Lloyd's Lists give ample proof of the fact, that the British cruisers carry into rigid execution the decree of their government against neutrals trading to France and her dependencies.
Letters from England by this arrival seem to despair of any accommodation taking place with America. So strong was this impression, that the Romp has come out without a single passenger, or packet of goods; and the American vessels generally in England, were preparing to sail in ballast.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
The reader will recollect, that Mr. WILLIAM PINCKNEY, went to England as minister extraordinary, to negotiate upon the subject of our differences, in conjunction with Mr. MONROE, the permanent minister. The latter gentleman, having returned from London, has left a vacancy in the mission he held. We are informed from an authentic source at Washington, that Mr. Wm. Pinckney was, on Saturday last, nominated to the Senate as permanent minister plenipotentiary to G. Britain, vice Mr. Monroe.
It may hence be reasonably inferred that no immediate rupture with this power is contemplated by our executive.
A letter from Leghorn, dated Dec. 22, says, "the American cargoes seized here by the French, under pretence of their being English were returned under promise of a grant of a large sum of money in lieu thereof, we have paid 15 per cent on the amount of your cargo in our hands and expect shall be obliged to pay 30 per cent more."—If this is not robbery what is?
BALTIMORE, February 23.
IMPORTANT.
From Washington, under date of 20th. You no doubt hear, every day, different reports about the NEGOTIATION
with Mr. ROSE. It is impossible to form any correct opinion; but I do not think we shall have war; at any rate the result will not be known for 3 or 4 months, during which term the embargo will continue. Mr. Lewis and Mr. Nourse, leave this to-morrow for N. York, the one bearer of dispatches for France and the other for England. The report yesterday was, that the negotiation was broken off; but it is contradicted to-day; so that reliance ought not to be placed upon any of them.
The two gentlemen above mentioned passed through Baltimore yesterday.
GEORGETOWN, February 27, 1808.
Two messages were yesterday transmitted by the President to the House of Representatives, which were received with closed doors—One it is said recommended the raising of 6,000 regulars, and that 24,000 volunteers should be accepted by the United States, and embodied, or employed in actual service for 3 months in the year, to be paid and clothed during that time—and also advised the renewal of the law relating to 100,000 militia, which will shortly expire.
The other accompanied dispatches from Mess. Pinckney and Armstrong—The latter states his having had communications with Mons. Compeiguy, on the subject of the blockading decrees of France—to his remonstrances it was replied, that it was the Emperor's determination to have the decrees rigidly enforced—Mr. Pinkney has also remonstrated against the several orders of Council; but was informed by Mr. Canning, that they would in no respect be relaxed—To his enquiry whether Mr. Rose was, prior to his departure, instructed as to the issuing of these orders, it was said that he was not—that he was sent on a special mission, and not invested with general powers of negotiation—But that Mr. Erskine was furnished with ample powers, and that to him copies of the orders and full instructions would be transmitted—The above mentioned messages, &c. were read in the Senate with open doors.
A spirited article in a late London print on the recent British orders, concludes in the following terms:
"These orders we take it, are as good as a declaration of war against America; and their effect will be, instead of reducing the tone, and crippling the means of one enemy, to give us another. We shall then have to fight with all the world for commerce, without a soul to buy an article from us, and whilst we rule the sea, there will not be an inch of coast free to receive a bale of our commodities."
LONDON, December 23.
The expedition under Sir Charles Cotton and General Spencer, sailed on Sunday from Portsmouth for the coast of Portugal.
Private accounts from the Hague, of so late a date as Friday last, state the arrival of M. Talleyrand at that place; and that king Louis was about to set out for Paris. It is not improbable that Louis may be transplanted to Portugal, and that Holland will be incorporated with the French empire.
[London pap.]
THE JEWS.—As the Turkish government will most likely fall, its territories will probably be divided between the empires of France, Russia and Austria. In such case, it is presumable that the restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land, will take place under the auspices of the French emperor. His attention to that unfortunate people during the last year, and his promises of good offices in their behalf in future, indicate his intention of collecting and resorting them; and by thus acting the part, acquiring the reputation of a second Cyrus.
LEXINGTON, (Ken.) Feb. 2.
Mr. Marshall, has introduced into the house of representatives of this state, resolutions declaring that an enquiry ought to be made into the conduct of judge Innis, relative to Lachaise, the baron de Carondelet, and Thomas Power.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 29.
The President on Friday communicated the following important MESSAGE to Congress.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
The dangers to our country arising from the contests of other nations, and the urgency of making preparation for whatever events might affect our relations with them, have been intimated in
preceding messages to Congress. To secure ourselves by due precautions, an augmentation of our military force as well regular as of volunteer militia, seems to be expedient. The precise extent of that augmentation cannot as yet be satisfactorily suggested: but that no time may be lost, and especially at a season deemed favorable to the object, I submit to the wisdom of the legislature whether they will authorize a commencement of this precautionary work, by a present provision for raising and organizing some additional force; reserving themselves to decide its ultimate extent on such views of our situation as I may be enabled to present at a future day of the session.
If an increase of force be now approved, I submit to their consideration the outlines of a plan proposed in the enclosed letter from the secretary of war.
I also recommend to the attention of congress, the term at which the act of April 18, 1806, concerning the militia will expire, and the effect of that expiration.
TH: JEFFERSON.
Feb. 25, 1808.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Feb. 24, 1808.
The President of the U. States,
SIR,
I TAKE the liberty of suggesting whether under existing circumstances, it would not be advisable to propose to congress an augmentation of our regular troops as soon as practicable; and also the engaging and organizing of 24,000 volunteers, on the principles I have had the honor of proposing for your consideration, the general outline of which are contained in the paper marked No. 1.
The number of regular troops I would propose being raised immediately is 6,000 to be composed of suitable proportions of infantry, artillery, cavalry, and riflemen, and organized as stated in the enclosed paper marked No. 2.
It may be presumed, that previous to the close of the present session, congress will be possessed of such farther information in regard to our foreign relations, as will be necessary for forming an ultimate opinion on the expediency or inexpediency of a greater augmentation of our army than is now proposed; and, in the mean time, measures may be taken for the recruiting service in different parts of the U. S.
In the event of war it will I presume be, considered necessary to arrange our military force into separate departments, and to have a commander to each department, of course, to have no such officer as a commander in chief and until a larger army shall be raised than is now proposed, it may not be advisable to have any officer above the rank of brigadier generals; of that grade it may be proper to have four or five, as soon as a suitable proportion of the troops is raised.
With sentiments of the highest respect, I am sir,
Your humble servant, H. DEARBORN.
(No. 1.)
It is proposed to have engaged in the several states and territories, 24,000 volunteers, to be enlisted to serve 12 months in any 24 months within the term of five years, at such times and places as the president of the U. S. shall direct, to be armed and equipped by the U. S. and to be regularly encamped in their respective states and territories, from two to three months in each year; and be exercised under the direction of inspectors to be appointed by the president of the U. S. to receive pay and rations and to be furnished with camp equipage, and one suit of uniform clothing once in three or four years, the officers excepting the inspectors and paymasters to be appointed by the respective states; the pay, annually to commence the day they march for the respective encampments; and to continue until their return home, allowing one day for each 20 miles to and from the encampments; no corporal punishments to be inflicted, but all offences to be punished by close confinement and short allowance, or fines, or both: the commissioned officers to be governed by the rules and articles of war established for the regular army: the 24,000 to be apportioned on the states and territories in such proportion as circumstances may require, and in such proportions of infantry, artillery, cavalry and riflemen, as the president of the U. S. shall direct; and organized into companies, battalions, regiments and brigades and other corps, as shall be found expedient according to the numbers in each state respectively; and to be encamped in the respective states and territories, at such time and
place or places as the president of the U. S. shall from time to time direct.
(No. 2)
The six thousand regular troops may consist of five regiments of infantry one regiment of riflemen, one regiment of light artillery, and one regiment of light cavalry.
The regiments of infantry, riflemen and artillery to consist of ten companies each, and the regiment of cavalry of eight companies.—The field and staff of each regiment, to consist of one colonel, one lieutenant colonel, one major, one adjutant, one quarter master, one paymaster, one surgeon, one sergeant-major, one quarter-master sergeant, and two principal musicians, and the regiment of cavalry one riding master.
Each company of infantry and riflemen, to consist of one captain, one first lieutenant, one second lieutenant, one ensign, four sergeants, four corporals, four musicians, and sixty eight privates.
Each company of artillery to consist of one captain one first lieutenant, one second lieutenant, two cadets, four sergeants, four corporals, four musicians, eight artificers, and fifty eight privates.
Each company of cavalry to consist of one captain, one first lieutenant, one 2d lieutenant, one cornet, four sergeants, four corporals, two musicians, one saddler, one farrier, and thirty eight privates.
MARTINSBURG, March 4.
From a Baltimore paper of the 20th ult.
The embargo and non-importation act have given rise to a manufacturing spirit in this city, the exercise of which will, if carried into effect supply the state of Maryland with cotton and woollen manufactures of homespun make, which will eventually tend to exclude the consumption of those of foreign origin—We have no doubt that the enterprising citizen, who will vest a portion of his funds in the Union Manufacturing Company of Maryland, will find as full remuneration for the employment of that capital in the patriotic undertaking, as if it were hazarded on the boundless ocean of commercial uncertainty. The spirit of enterprise has, we are told, already manifested itself by a desire of a number of citizens to purchase shares in this manufactory even in its infant and unincorporated state.
The company's capital stock is to consist of one million of dollars divided into twenty thousand shares of 50 dollars each, one thousand of which shares are to be subscribed for by the legislature as the property of the state. The company are to commence operations whenever 5000 shares shall be subscribed for. In order to discountenance a spirit of monopoly, there are allotments of shares for each county to be subscribed for on the same day in the several counties of the states.
The concerns of the company are entrusted to the care of a president and 12 directors chosen by the stockholders by ballot.
The president and directors are to use their endeavors to procure of the legislature an act of incorporation.
The articles of association are limited in duration to the year 1828 unless an act of incorporation shall be sooner obtained.
The internal regulations of the institution are unfolded in a plan of association comprising nineteen articles.
In consequence of the respectability of the characters in point of wealth, patriotism and commercial importance, we fondly cherish a lively hope that the company will speedily be enabled to commence their operations, and give a manufacturing character to this city which will add to its commercial importance. The praiseworthy attempt will no doubt receive the fostering care of government.
Ten sail of American vessels have been taken into Algesiras by the Spaniards, for attempting to enter Gibraltar. Several American vessels have been condemned at Gibraltar for going and coming to ports up the Mediterranean.
The proceedings in our congress, down to the 1st of December, were received in England, copious extracts from them appear in the London papers, accompanied, in many instances, by remarks of an irritating and insulting nature. Of Mr. Randolph's speech on the augmentation of the navy the Courier says:
"We have given the substance of Mr.

Randolph's speech in the senate, in which he declares, that congress ought to have been immediately convened after the affair of the Chesapeake, and the American minister recalled after redress had been demanded; that, if redress had been refused, America should have invaded Canada and Nova Scotia, and made a descent upon Jamaica!! Poor Mr. Randolph, in the warmth of his indignation, and in the flights of his fancy, forgets that the whole navy of the U. S. could not resist for half an hour two British 50 gun ships—and yet he would invade Jamaica!!!
The extract of the decree of the French emperor published in our last, though it furnishes another instance of the violence of its author, excites little or no sensation. Accustomed to his violence, injustice and tyranny, neutral and independent nations receive his edicts as the commands of a master. Miserable and degraded state of the world! The honor, the patriotism, and the courage that once animated men are gone, but not we hope, forever. They are in full vigor in America when called into action.
America is not named in this decree, but it is against her, and her only that it is directed.
We consider this decree as coming to a point, that is, that we shall declare for or against France. It has never been our wish that America should be a party in this dreadful conflict, and all that we have said upon this subject will justify our declaration. But this edict leaves America no choice. If a British ship of war boards an American merchant ship, she is declared prize to a French cruiser. If this mighty emperor with all his power cannot or dare not, encounter the British on the ocean, how are defenceless Americans to resist? Besides—the right of belligerents to board and examine neutrals, is coeval with war. We must not pay duties in an English port. If we pay duties in an English port our vessels are forfeited. In the name of all that is just and reasonable, how can we enter a British port or possession without being subjected to the payment of duties? Do not British ships pay duties in our ports?
Then it seems we should not even steer a course that might lead to England or any of her possessions—Would that this mighty emperor would tell us how we are to steer if bound to one of his own ports or islands; for as to a greater part of the voyage, the course to the one, is the course to the other. "The British islands are in a state of blockade by sea and land!" So says Bonaparte—The mind of man can be prepared for almost any thing by a previous disposition. If Bonaparte was to issue an edict, declaring that any ship whose papers or documents were in the English language, was for that reason forfeited—there would be no astonishment. A celebrated author tells, that the jealous and high spirited Romans were so degraded and humbled, that when Caligula declared "his horse for consul" it excited no sensation, and was very patiently submitted to—But Romans were then in their degeneracy—Americans are in their vigor, and we trust and believe that they will not prostrate themselves at the feet of a tyrant.

FRENCH INSOLENCE AUTHENTICATED —We have again and again published the threat of the French Emperor that we should not remain neutral; and that if we chose to continue on pacific terms with England, he should deem it good cause of war. This threat has reached us through various channels. We have had it from the London Gazette, and we have had it from verbal report; in short we have had it in every way, but officially from our own government, from whom, we have no doubt, it might also be had, would the President but deign to communicate the last dispatches from Mr. Armstrong. We now give it from the Moniteur, the French official newspaper at Paris. The following is translated from an article which appeared in that paper, entitled "Remarks on Mr. Rose's Mission."
"The English are strangers to the sovereignty of nations if they flatter themselves that the Americans are so pusillanimous, so impolitic, so ready to sacrifice their independence as to abandon to Great Britain the colonial trade. If the Americans descend to such conduct; if they will renounce the sovereignty of their flag, and suspend their commercial intercourse with France, thus trampling upon their own Declaration of Independence, and again becoming mere English
Colonies, they must, without doubt be considered as having declared war with France and with all the Continental powers."
Whether such language was or was not held by the Emperor to our minister, and by him communicated to his government would undoubtedly be highly gratifying to the nation to know—IT OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN KNOWN MONTHS AGO.
Capt. Sawdry from Martinico, informs that on a confirmation of the news of the Embargo in the United States, FLOUR rose from Eleven to Eighteen Dollars.

At the opening of the legislative council of Lower Canada, at Quebec, the 29th of January, Sir James H. Craig, the governor general, delivered a speech, of which the following is an extract:—
"I have no doubt, that you join with me, gentlemen, in lamenting the discussions that have arisen, between his majesty's government and that of America. I have no information to convey to you, that might tend to throw any light upon a subject, in which this colony must be so materially interested. Let us hope that the moderation and wisdom of the government of the United States, will lead them to meet that of his majesty in its endeavors, by an equitable accommodation of differences, to avert the calamities of war, from two nations, who from habits of affinity, unity of language, and the reciprocal advantages of their commercial intercourse seem no less to point them out to each other, as the objects of a mutual connection of family and confidence."
JOHN DICKENSON , another of our revolution's patriots has paid the debt of nature at a good old age, and full of glory. The various high stations filled by him, and the patriotic duties he discharged, are fresh in the minds of his countrymen. Few men have ever lived that possessed more strength of judgment, miscellaneous knowledge, and cultivation of taste. These high attainments were tempered by an elegance of manners, an habitual eloquence, and a benignity that made him the delight as well as the ornament of society. The infirmities of declining years long since detached him from the busy scenes of life. But in retirement his patriotism felt no abatement. The welfare of his country remained uppermost in his thoughts; and he was as ready, as any of her sons, to make any sacrifice called for by her violated honor. Having viewed men and all their ways with a penetrating eye, he unequivocally avowed his preference for a republican government, and, as far as his voice went, invariably upheld republican men and measures. The existing administration, of course, commanded his constant respect and affection.
Over the ashes of such a man we may weep without the indulgence of immoderate grief. Having passed a long and illustrious life, he has left a name, which will, in future times, be often invoked on the side of principle and virtue.

Mr. ALBURTIS,
Any endeavour at a public celebration, that has a tendency to excite the minds of the rising generation, to the remembrance of the unparalleled virtues of the late GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON , will I confide, meet with your patronage, and a publication in your useful and intelligent News-paper.
I am sir, with the highest respect, Your obedient humble servant, N. B.
IN commemoration of the day ever-to-be-remembered which gave BIRTH to the departed friend of his country GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON , the students of Retirement School, with four rounds of blunt cartridges, marched to the field; in a solid column—displayed to the left; here several patriotic Toasts were proclaimed accompanied by a discharge of Musquetry; after the military Evolutions were gone through, Master Charles Lowndes delivered a very pertinent and persuasive discourse, appropriated to the HERO of America, whose intrepid and steady conduct in the late WAR , has procured her freedom & independence, which should be announced and remembered with the warmest sensibility by every Citizen, and transfused into the breast of every student in the Union. The hearts of independent Americans ought this DAY exult, as having given BIRTH to him, whose political and military services, stand forth the first example of imitation,
to the President and Congress of the Federal Government. Jefferson County, Monday, Feb. 22, 1808. }
The Editor of this paper having made contracts in Philadelphia for new type, finds it necessary to call upon all those indebted to him to make payment, to enable him to meet those contracts.... He doubts not but his claims will be discharged with the more cheerfulness, when the supporters of this paper are informed, that this call is now made for the purpose of beautifying the appearance of the Intelligencer ; should it be attended to, the next volume shall appear in a dress, that will give high satisfaction to all its readers.
Although the appearance of the Intelligencer , at this time, is not inferior to other papers, yet, a desire to improve it, will be considered laudable, and when added to the justice of his request, will, he doubts not, be regarded by all his friends.
THE FULL-BRED HORSE
ARAB,
WILL stand the ensuing season at my residence near Charles-Town, Jefferson County. He is an elegant Bay and nearly sixteen hands high. He will be let to mares on the following terms: For the single leap six dollars, to be paid at the stable door, or fifteen dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of ten dollars, on the 31st of July, when his season will expire, and twenty dollars to ensure a mare in foal, (notes for 15 dollars for the season, and 20 dollars for ensurance, will be expected with the mares,) and in all cases fifty cents to the groom. The owner of any mare that may be ensured, who disposes of her, must be held liable for the ensurance money. Gentlemen sending mares from a distance can be furnished with good pasturage, at 25 cents a week, and grain at the market price, and every attention will be paid to their mares, but I will not make myself liable for either escapes or accidents.
Arab was out of Betsy Lewis, & foaled the property of Wm. Herndon of Fredericksburg, on the 9th of June, 1804.... He was got by the imported horse Bedford, Betsy Lewis by the imported horse Shark, her dam by Lindsey's Arabian, grand dam by Mark Anthony, g. g. dam by Silver Eye, g. g. g. dam by Crawford, g. g. g. g. dam by Janus, g. g. g. g. g. dam was an imported mare. The above pedigrees, which I have in the hand writing and verified by the oath of William Herndon, Esq. his elegant form and superior beauty, entitle Arab to rank with any horse raised on the continent.

The noted Stud Horse YOUNG LION,
WILL stand this season on Mondays and Tuesdays at Capt. Robert Stephens' Mill, and on Thursdays and Fridays at Cornelius Thompson's farm on Opeckon, and be let to mares at the moderate price of four dollars the season, to be paid the first of September next; two dollars the single leap, to be paid at the time the leap is taken, and eight dollars to ensure a colt, to be paid when the mare proves with foal; removal, or parting with the mare, forfeits the ensurance.
Young Lion is a handsome dark bay, with four white feet, and a star in his forehead, full sixteen hands high, with bone and body in proportion, possessed of great strength and activity. The following certificates will serve to shew his pedigree, and the repute in which he was held, in places where he formerly stood. The season will commence the 20th inst. and end the last of June next. No responsibility for accidents.
DAVID M'CLEARY.
March 4, 1808.
I hereby certify that Young Lion was raised by me; he was got by Old Lion , out of Nancy Dawson. Old Lion was raised by Col. Barnes, out of an imported horse and mare. Nancy Dawson was a full blooded mare. TH: SPRIGG.
I do certify that Young Lion is allowed by the ablest judges, to be the best foal getter that ever stood in Washington county, his colts are superior to any other in said county: I have two of his colts, for one of them I was offered 200 dollars cash, which was a mare, four years old. JNO: SWINGLE.
