THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 22, 1809.
Mr. Jackson.—We can state upon undoubted authority that this minister is not yet accredited, and that Mr. Eustis continues, and will continue, to exercise the functions, of minister from Great-Britain, until the President returns to Washington, when Mr. Jackson will be received. No demand has been made by Mr. Smith, as to the objects of his mission.
New Orleans.—We do not like to predict mischiefs, but we feel strongly impressed with a belief that some is brewing in that quarter. Our readers may rely that the queries in our Monday's paper, do not rest on mere suspicion, or conjecture. It was not long since that a general order of the commander in chief was published, by which it appeared that the army was in a state of mutiny, and to-day we publish the order of Governor Claiborne disbanding certain volunteer corps. The sensations which this order has produced, are displayed in an address from one of the volunteers, to the Governor.
It appears by an article from the Paris Monitor, that the British had commenced their operations against Naples. This reluctant account proves that the first operations of the British had been successful, nor can it conceal the alarm which has been excited in the city and country. It is probable that this intelligence reached Napoleon's camp, about the time he signed the Armistice with Austria. We differ from many in regard to this Armistice, and cannot but think that in the end Austria will profit by it. No one can suppose that the Archduke Charles, was unacquainted with the intended expedition against Naples, or of the object and probable time of sailing of the English Grand expedition. By securing himself from further attacks, he did not allow the French emperor the means of sending succours to the aid of those points attacked by the two expeditions. The Armistice would expire on the 11th August. If Buonaparte made considerable detachments from his grand army, the Archduke will not fail to profit thereby; if he does not send aid to those points, his enemy will be suffered to pursue his measures, without opposition.
The democratic papers of Philadelphia are truly entertaining. There are two democratic parties in the state of Pennsylvania; at the head of one is Duane and Leib, and at the head of the other is Governor Snyder. "The loaves and fishes," as usual, have produced a violent contention among quondam friends. How far the terms of invective and reproach, which they apply to each other, are merited, we would not undertake to say; but it is evident, that the advantage of knowing most intimately the conduct and views of each other, their representations are entitled to more credit than usually attaches to democratic representations. To say on which side the talents are, would be presumption in us—we mean the talents for abuse. "When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war."
If the people would but observe these contentions, and trace them to their sources, they could not fail to acquire profitable information. Factions in all countries are alike, and in our day dreadful examples have been furnished, and which ought to serve as awful warnings of what may be our fate. The Brissots, Dantons, the Roberspieres and others, were the patriots of the day, and the victims of persecution. Weaned with the crimes and vices of succeeding factions, the people sunk into "the calm of despotism," as a retreat from savage persecution.
We promise to give our readers in a few days opinions from each side, they will amuse if they do not instruct.
We understand from an authentic source, that a revolution has recently taken place at Algiers, by which the then reigning Dey (originally a Mahometan priest) was deposed and put to death. He was succeeded by one of the favourites of the soldiery, who was placed by the military at the head of the regency without the occurrence of any sanguinary event, except the strangling of his predecessor. This revolution occurred about the 4th of November last. The present Dey is represented as a man of considerable abilities for the station, and the unfortunate Imam whose place he occupies as having been an imbecile ruler.
[Nat. Intelligencer.]

FROM THE NEW-ORLEANS GAZETTE.
To His Excellency Governor Claiborne. I have often seen and often heard your excellency's character well drawn. Your want of understanding, your overweening propensity for popularity, your total disregard to truth, and your intemperance, have afforded matter for conversation for caricature, and for the public prints, for years. It never was my intention to have addressed you had you not attacked a whole corps, of which I had the honour of being a member. Few of the corps read your paper, edited by a French subject; therefore I give your admirable general order publicly, through the medium of an American press.
GENERAL ORDERS.
New Orleans, August 6, 1809.
The battalion of Orleans volunteers and the Orleans troop of horse are in such a state of disorganization, that they can no longer be considered as separate corps;—It is therefore ordered that the citizens heretofore attached to those corps be forthwith enrolled in the regular militia.
WILLIAM C. C. CLAIBORNE.
Can your excellency read this order without blushing? You once had men of sense around you, whose wisdom kept you from committing such egregious acts of folly, but now, abandoned by every man of sense in society, you shine forth conspicuously ridiculous.
Conscious of having destroyed the pride and honour of the volunteer corps, by transferring them to the command of another, you were ashamed to order them to parade, for either muster or review. Two years and more have elapsed since they have been under arms, and now your excellency issues your order of dismissal, because the corps is in a state of disorganization. It is well known that this corps was raised at great individual expense, and the only part that your excellency ever contributed, was occasionally giving bad wine and ginger cakes at 12 o'clock, to those who wished to attend your levee, and hear you give a few stupid toasts. You direct that the individuals composing the corps are to be incorporated in the regular militia. I deny that you ever had any thing like regular militia under your command, except the corps now dismissed. Your master, general Wilkinson, will bear honourable testimony to the truth of this assertion. You ought to have said common militia, which is composed of colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants and ensigns, but not one single private. When and where has your excellency seen a regiment, battalion or company, of your regular militia paraded?
No, sir, you have no militia; a militia drum has not been heard in our streets since the battalion of volunteers, and troops of dragoons were discharged from the service of the United States in the spring of 1807.
What a blessing would the sage of Monticello have conferred on this territory, had he taken you with him; but, alas, he has left you "a representative of his imbecile administration."
A VOLUNTEER.

LISBON, July 4, 1809.
Arrived in the Tagus on the 1st inst. thirteen transports with British troops. On the 2d came in sixteen more, besides twenty-nine that arrived on the 2 last days of June. Those troops are part of a division of 15,000 men that are coming from England to reinforce the army of gen. Wellesley.
We have just received the most unquestionable information, by water, of the French army having evacuated Corunna and Ferrol, which proves the impossibility of their holding the province of Galicia, and hence they are abandoning it altogether.
SEVILLE, July 21.
Official advices are this day received from general count de Norona, second in command in the marquis de la Romana's army, dated head quarters, Corunna, July 6, advising that he entered that city with his division on the 29th and 30th of June, and immediately detached a part of his force to take possession of, and garrison the important port of Ferrol—that he was restoring tranquility and order among the inhabitants, and that by means of a public council of safety, he should now be able to ascertain the well disposed and patriotic citizens from French partizans.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 16.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Extracts from London papers to the 1st of August, received at the Office of the New-York Gazette, by the ship Russell, from Liverpool.
LONDON, July 21.
A captain of a vessel who was taken about two years since, and has been confined at Valenciennes, has made his escape. He landed at Deal a day or two ago, and gives the following description of the ships and force at Flushing. At Flushing only one frigate, and 15 gun-boats; about half way between Flushing and Antwerp, there are nine sail of the line and one ship of 50 guns and one frigate; the ships have all their guns in, and their complement of men, and they communicate by signal with the frigates stationed at Flushing. At Antwerp there are building seven sail of the line and one frigate.—There are two battalions of Prussian soldiers, and one of Irish Brigade at Flushing, amounting to about 4000 men.—At Antwerp there are a great many conscripts, many lately arrived there. At Camphire there are 15 gun-boats, the Growler gun-brig, and two schooners, and but few soldiers. The conscripts have been called out for 1810.
A "Monitor" has arrived of the 10th inst. containing the following account of our expedition from Sicily:
NAPLES, June 28.
"On the 24th of this month the English made a descent in the island of Ischia: the enterprise gave place to two maritime battles, of which the following are the details:"
"On the 25th, in the morning, some of our gun-boats, sustained by a frigate and a corvette, advanced against those of the enemy, superior to our's in number and the force of their ships. The action commenced at 9 in the morning. The fire was continued and very heavy during many hours. We had against us four English frigates, two brigs, and fourteen gun-boats. An English frigate has been considerably damaged, but as a considerable reinforcement arrived, our's returned without having suffered any considerable loss. At the same time, 30 of our gun-boats which had been station-
ed for some time at Gaeta, had received orders to go to Naples, and precisely by the canal which separates the two islands of Procida and Ischia.—The dangers of this voyage appeared extreme; they trampled over them with infinite skill. Our flotilla passed through on the 26th the whole of that of the enemy, and arrived at the place of rendezvous at the break of day. The dangers commenced at this moment—The island of Procida was already in the hands of the enemy; which was seized by him without striking a blow. This accident deprived our flotilla of the protection of the land batteries of Procida, the fire of which crosses that of Meliscola at Cape Messina, when the enemy's forces, sure of not being attacked by land, all united against our fleet, which was no longer protected, except by the small battery of Meliscola."
"The action commenced at day-break, and continued until 9 o'clock. Under all circumstances has the Neapolitan Marine so fully justified the reputation which it has ever held in the estimation of naval men. According to this report our glory could not be greater."
"An English brig was burnt by the battery of Meliscola; one of their gun-boats was sunk; we have had only one man killed and a few wounded; but among our gun-boats some have been sunk along side the enemy's ships; others have been driven on shore, but we hope to be able to get them off; several have returned to port."
"In spite of this imposing spectacle of war, of which all the town was a witness; in spite of the fright of some timid people, and in spite of the secret hopes of some guilty men, who are well known, the Capital was never more tranquil than at this moment, in which the enemy display to our view his menacing stores in order to disturb the peace which reigns among us. This internal peace which we enjoy is owing principally to the confidence which the people have in the person of the King. The corps of volunteers, which augmented but slowly when the enemy was distant from us, increased beyond measure upon his approach. Intelligence from the provinces is equally pleasant; every where tranquility reigns, and the incendiary proclamations which the English and Sicilian army have thrown almost every where on our coast, seems for the present to have had no other effect than that of rallying round the throne all the people of the kingdom."
July 28.
The emperor of Austria issued a very important proclamation at Budweis, on the 15th inst. a copy of which has been received in town. This proclamation, we understand, states, that the loss sustained by both armies, the French, as well as the Austrians, had rendered an armistice necessary, and that there being no stipulation against military movements in the armistice, every thing would be done, during its continuance, to promote the security of the Austrian empire. Reverses are admitted to have been sustained, and are attributed to one of the generals who commanded a division in the battle of Wagram, having suffered his troops to fall back and expose the rest. Not a word is said respecting peace.
PARIS, July 14.
Letters from Genoa and Marseilles mention that the Regency of Algiers, at the instigation of the English, demanded of M. Dubois Tainville, consul general of France, payment of an annual tribute; and, upon his refusal, ordered him to be arrested.—A provisional embargo has been, in consequence, laid on all Algerine ships and property in the ports of France.
July 29.
A Gottenburg mail arrived this morning. The following is the only article brought by it worth publishing:
STOCKHOLM, July 14.
"By a Declaration, dated Stockholm, the 14th of this month, his royal majesty has proposed to the Diet, with and by the advice of the Private Committee, Prince Christian Augustus of Silesie-Holstein Souderburg Augerterburg, as Prince Royal of Sweden, and his successor on the Swedish Throne, and the States of the Peasantry have already acceded to the King's proposal, and elected the said Prince their future sovereign."
A report prevailed yesterday, but we cannot pledge ourselves for its correctness, that Buonaparte left Vienna on the 14th inst. on his return to Paris.
An article from St. Petersburg, dated June 28, says, "Three English frigates have taken possession of Catharine Harbour, in Kola, near the Icy Ocean, and of all the stores belonging to the Company of the White Sea, consisting in salt, cordage, &c. as well as some vessels loaded with corn. The garrison has also been in Kola, from which place the few inhabitants had fled. These frigates are now cruising at the mouth of the White Sea. The government has put an embargo upon all vessels in Archangel, that they may not fall into the hands of the English, who seem to have devoted their attention principally to the corn vessels from Archangel. This is the first attack of the English upon the Russian territory."
TWENTY-SIXTH FRENCH BULLETIN.
Wolkersdorf July 9.
"The enemy's retreat is a defeat. We have collected a part of his baggage. His wounded have fallen into our hands; we have already counted more than twelve thousand; all the villages are filled with them, in five or six hospitals alone we have found more than 6000."
"The duke de Rivoli, pursuing the enemy by Stokraw, is already arrived at Hollabrunn."
"The duke de Ragusa had at first followed on the road to Brunn, which he quitted at Wolkersdorf, in order to take that of Znaim. At nine o'clock this morning, he met at Laa, a rear guard which he routed—he took 900 of them prisoners. He will be to-morrow at Znaim."
"The duke of Auerstadt is arrived to day at Nielsburg."
"The emperor of Austria, prince Anthony with a suit of about 200 chariots, coaches, and other carriages, slept on the 6th at Erenstrubrunn, the 7th at Hollabrunn, the 8th at Znaim, whence they set out at nine of the morning. According to the relation of the country people who conducted them, their dejection was extreme."
"One of the princes de Roban was found wounded on the field of battle, lieut. field-marshal Watikowicz is among the prisoners."
"The artillery of the guard covered itself with glory. Major Ahoville, who commanded was wounded.—The emperor has made him gen. of
brigade. The chief of a squadron of artillery, Greener, has been blown up. These intrepid artillerymen displayed all the power of this terrible weapon."
"The horse chassurs of the guard charged, and drove back, on the day of the battle of Wagram three squadrons of infantry. They took four pieces of cannon. The light horse Poles of the guard charged a regiment of pikemen. They took the prince of Auerberg prisoner, and captured two pieces of cannon."
"The Saxon Hussars d'Albert charged the cuirassiers d'Albert, and took their colours. It was a very singular thing to see two regiments belonging to the same colonel fighting one against the other."
"It appears that the enemy is abandoning Moravia and Hungary, and is retiring into Bohemia. The roads are covered with the men belonging to the Landwehr and the levy-en-masse, who are returning to their houses."
"The losses which desertion is adding to those the enemy has sustained in killed, wounded, and prisoners, are concurring to annihilate his army."
"The numerous letters which have been intercepted are a striking character of the discontent of the hostile army, and the disorder which reigns in it."
"Now that the Austrian monarchy is without hope, it would evince being ill acquainted with the character of those who govern it, not to expect that they will humiliate themselves as they did after the battle of Austerlitz. At that epoch, they were as now, without hope; and they exhausted all their protestations and oaths."
"During the day of the 6th, the enemy sent a few hundred men to the right bank of the Danube to make observation. They re-embarked, after having lost a few men killed and taken prisoners."
"The heat was excessive on both of these days. The heat was almost constantly at 26 degrees."
"There are great quantities of wine. In one village 3,000,000 pints were found. It has happily no bad quality."
"Twelve of the most considerable villages in the beautiful plain of Vienna, such as are seen in the neighbourhood of a great capital, have been burnt during the battle. The just hatred of the nation is loud against the guilty men who have drawn upon it all these calamities."
"The general of brigade, Laroche, entered Nuremberg on the 28th of June, with a corps of cavalry, and proceeded towards Bayreuth. He met the enemy at Besentheim charged him with the first provisional regiment of dragoons, and cut in pieces all who opposed him, and took two pieces of cannon."
TWENTY-EIGHTH BULLETIN.
"The Danube has risen 6 feet. The bridges of boats which had been constructed before Vienna since the battle of Wagram have been broken by effect of this rise; but the bridges at Elbersdorf are solid and permanent; none of them have suffered. Those bridges, and the works of the Island of Lobau, are the admiration of the military persons of Austria. They avow that such works are without example since the time of the Romans."
"The archduke Charles having sent maj. gen. Weissevoit to compliment the emperor, and since that the baron de Wimpffen and prince John of Lichtenstein having come upon the same courteous errand, in his name, his majesty has thought proper to send to the archduke, the duke of Friuli, grand Marshal of the palace, who found him at Budweis, and passed part of yesterday at his head quarters."
"The emperor left his camp at Znaim yesterday at 9 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the palace at Schoenbrunn at three in the afternoon."
"His majesty has visited the environs of the village of Spitz, which forms the tete de pont of Vienna. General Bertrand has been charged with the execution of different works, which must be marked out and begun this day."
"The bridge of piles at Vienna will be re-established with the least delay possible."
"His majesty has named as Marshals of the Empire, gen. Oudinot, the Duke of Ragusa, and gen. Macdonald. The number of marshals was 11; this nomination will make it 14. The places of Col. Gen. of the Swiss, and Col. Gen. of the Chasseurs, are also vacant."
"The Colonel officer of the chasseurs is, according to our constitution, a Grand Officer of the empire."
"His majesty has testified his satisfaction with the manner which the Surgery has been served, and particularly with the services of the principal surgeon Heurteloup."
"His majesty passing through the field of battle on the 7th, caused a great number of the wounded to be taken off; and left there the duke of Friuli, grand marshal of the Palace, who remained all day."
"The number of wounded Austrians in our hands amounts to 12 or 13,000."
"The Austrians have had nineteen generals killed or wounded. It has been remarked as a singular fact, that most of the French officers, whether of old France, or of the new provinces, who were in the Austrian service, have perished."
"Several couriers have been intercepted; and among their letters has been found a regular correspondence of Gents with Count Stadion. The influence of this wretch, in the leading determinations of the Austrian cabinet, is hereby materially proved. Such are the instruments which England employs, like a new Pandora's box, to raise storms and spread poisons on the continent."
"The duke of Rivoli's corps encamps in the circle of Znaim, that of the duke of Auerstadt in the circle of Brunn; that of the duke of Ragusa in the circle of Korn-Neubourg; that of marshal Oudinot before Vienna, at Spitz; that of the Viceroy on Presbourg and Gratz. The imperial guard returns to the environs of Schoenbrunn."
"The harvest is very fine, and abundant every where. The army is cantoned in a beautiful country, rich in provisions of all kinds, wine particularly."
FALMOUTH, July 27.
Came in the Essex, 18, and Peacock, 18, from the coast of Spain. They bring nothing new from thence, except a report that Lieut. Gen. Sir A. Wellesley was declared Generalissimo of the united British, Spanish and Portuguese armies. We hope this may be true, as it will be the means of acting with more promptitude and vigour.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1809.
An arrival at New-York, from Malta brings an account that the British expedition, had after meeting with some success, evacuated Naples.
The intelligence from Ceuta received at Baltimore, is the latest from Spain. Ceuta is on the Barbary shore, immediately opposite to Gibraltar a strong place occupied by the Spaniards.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
From the Independent American.
MR. PATTERSON.
I view with great regret, the liberty of the Press fast approaching to licentiousness, and that the president of the United States, will shortly, (unless he possesses a manly firmness and magnanimity) become merely an Automaton in the government, to move agreeably to the resolutions of select committees or the lucubrations of scribblers in newspapers, whose object is not the publick welfare, but a fondness for viewing themselves paraded before the publick eye in a neat type. I am led to this reflection from observing a variety of resolutions from different parts of the union, protesting against Mr. Jackson being received as the minister from England, and the various publications in the Enquirer and Aurora, industriously copied into the National Intelligencer; a paper, which it is well known, is an enlargement of minutes received from the heads of the different departments, and collated of every thing that can foment a hatred to Great Britain; and, as every government has a newspaper obsequiously in pay, that paper is very properly styled "The National Intelligencer." It is not instituted as a true guide to the people; but to cram down their throats, principles, which they would not naturally cherish; but they are led to believe that whatever Mr. Smith prints or writes is infallible; and so it must be, it comes from head quarters.
It is Caesar's will "Sic volo, sic jubeo, stet pro ratione voluntas." Smith must obey the will of his Caesar, for his Caesar is a God with him; and so he is with the sagacious editors of the Enquirer, and the Aurora. Smith is not alone in possessing the silly idea, that the people of America, are such fools, as not to be capable of judging for themselves, and the administration newspapers, are to be their only pilots. Small as my freehold is, I would rather resign my franchise of every description, than have it trammeled or dictated to by the pen of an editor in pay of the government. In pay or not in pay, it is at this time very indecent, very absurd, and exhibits a degree of profligacy unparalleled, to see those columns of governmental prints teeming with the exaggerated lies of "Ben Banting" and the diminished truths, of American prisoners in France, at a time when a minister is arrived to treat amicably. Would it not be better, as those editors have no doubt, voted at an election for President, and they have the man of their choice, to leave him to act under the power given to him, and he will do so no doubt upon principle and facts, and not from resolvers and writers who naturally draw false conclusions from false premises.
Why, then, poison the publick mind by imagining evils, which nine tenths of the ignorant will believe to be true! The character of the nation may be at stake by it! How well, by these means, was the minds of the hasty and uninformed prepared to ruin the character of the nation, lately in Baltimore? I mean on the arrival of Mr. Jackson at Annapolis. Did not the name of Copenhagen echo at every avenue, and did not some of the citizens prepare to burn him, Mr. Jackson, in effigy, which would have been done, if the government's influence had not prevented it? These are direful acts in a nation, which Mr. Smith, in one of his numbers, professes to call, the wisest government in the world. On this point I will remark on the want of consistency in the American character, and as an American, I am sorry for it. I can derive it but from one source. A strong partiality and predilection in favour of France; and this foolish fondness will in time be the ruin of America, as I now predict, and may perhaps, shortly show the ground work of it. With respect to the want of consistency, I will observe that when gen. Turreau arrived as minister from France, not a murmur was heard, although his cruelties and wickedness at La Vendee beat upon every ones ear, and every heart was shuddering at the recollection of them. Cruelties and wickedness, that if he had not have received an appointment to this country from Buonaparte, he would not have been associated with, even in a common grog shop. His actions at La Vendee, whilst the name of the place is retained, will remain recorded in blood, and handed down to posterity with all the infamy attached to them. These historical facts are in print, with the general's humane proclamation at La Vendee, for the massacre of men, women and children, of all descriptions, and his boasts in his dispatch to the French government that he had laid desolate the most beautiful country in the world, and had not left alive a child to tell the tale.
Such, Mr. Patterson, is the American fondness for every French folly, which proves the inconsistency of character, and makes good the old saying, that "One man may steal a horse, whilst another must not look over the fence."
BALTIMORE, September 13.
LATEST FROM SPAIN.
Capt. Farrel, of the schooner Valona, from Sanlucar, arrived this morning, informs, that on the fourth of August he put into Ceuta for water. On that day there was a great deal of firing there and at Gibraltar, which capt. F. was informed, by a Spanish officer, who came on board from the fort, was on account of a victory obtained over the French by the combined Spanish and British armies, that they had retaken Madrid and taken and killed 40,000 of the French. Capt. F. from the Levant, was allowed but little communication with the shore and none from the town.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-York to his friend in this city.
"The account of the bills, sold by Smith to the navy department, which has lately been exposed by the secretary of the treasury, reminds me of the
case of Levenworth and the French government, and convinces me that, they manage these things better in France.
You may not have heard of this transaction, and I will endeavour to explain it. Levenworth is a Connecticut lawyer well known to Joel Barlow, and one of those American financiers or land-jobbers, who went to France to make a fortune out of the spoils of the revolution. Soon after he got there he entered into a contract with the government to furnish the treasury, bills on Spain to a large amount, and the conditions were, that one fourth, or one third of the purchase money, should be paid to Levenworth in Paris, on the acceptance of his bills in Spain. Levenworth, who had not a dollar, or even a correspondent at the place on which he was drawing bills, sent some clerk or consul to be his agent, who probably was not worth a real, any more than his employer. The agent accepted the bills, and Levenworth obtained a part of the money from the French treasury, agreeably to the contract. With this, he entered into speculations in the publick funds of France to a very large amount, but unluckily forgot to provide for the payment of his bills sold to the government. The government got wind of his speculations, and suspecting what would be the fate of the bills, refused to make any further advances on account of them. The bills were protested for non payment, and came back to the French treasury in course; the treasury immediately laid hand on the funds which Levenworth had been buying up with its money, and, instead of enabling him to meet the payment of the bills in Spain, which Levenworth said was his intention, it actually got possession of a much larger sum, by the increased value of the funds, than would have enabled Levenworth to pay the bills, and lay up a brilliant fortune for himself besides. Levenworth is yet claiming the profits of this transaction, which, as you see, has been so managed by the superior expertness of the French treasury agents, that a large sum is gained by it, instead of a loss. The government of France thought no doubt, that as it ran all the risk of the funds bought with its money, it was fairly entitled to all the profits of a rise. It were to be wished that all speculators on the confidence and liberality of governments, had met the fate of Levenworth. It will be admitted at least, that they manage these things better in France, as old York said."
GEORGE-TOWN, (D.C.) Sept. 19. Died on Saturday the 16th instant, Mrs. SARAH SMITH, the amiable consort of Major Walter Smith, of this town, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman, of the city of Baltimore, in the 26th year of her age.
LONDON, July 27. German papers and letters arrived this morning to the 12th of July. They increase it that the possible one grief at the armistice; because they furnish more proofs of the disposition of the people of Germany to rise against the French. The city of Rotterdam was on Friday and Saturday last a scene of dreadful confusion and violence in consequence of dispute between the military and the newly raised conscripts, who refused to comply with the orders for marching. Several lives were lost on both days and tranquility was with difficulty re-established.

FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE, Price 37 1-2 Cents, A few Copies of LETTERS,
Under the signatures of SEMEX and of A PATRIOT. Comprehending an examination of the conduct of our Executive, towards France and Great-Britain, out of which the present crisis has arisen, originally published in the North American.
From the Editor's Preface.
Great publick exigencies, in free governments, have always called forth great virtue and talents. Thus the passing occurrences of the day prove, that the lapse of twenty-five years has not turned our nation aside from that salutary vigilance of their rulers and jealousy of their rights, without which our government could not have been established nor continued.
Should we survive the fraud, prejudice and power, which have conspired for our ruin, we shall not owe it more to the timely illustrations of the sage, and the heroic exertion of the patriot, than to native good sense and unalterable attachment to liberty in the body of the people. We have here another proof, that the American nation is not susceptible of its intelligence, as for its civilization, and that alternate adherence to national freedom. This last is more upon both, have absorbed the whole country. The others noticed, the timid, the wavering, and the dastard, have all been brought into the ranks of our enemies, which is determined to save the country. The one, it must be saved!
Among the papers which have powerfully contributed to this conservative alarm, is the able and impartial account of the subjoined letters. His fascinating manner and vigorous argument, have exposed every artifice and fraudulent delusion, which the hand of power has contrived for our ruin. These letters, in a conjuncture which has hitherto been the death of our national political association, have been omitted. The critic which called them forth, is now in the country, that the dignity of the writer is preserved, and he may escape censure.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York.
Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall Street.
PROPOSALS Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise. FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same,) if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars, for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the publick.
No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified.—The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of closing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines—no firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.

If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect.

VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever.
VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured.
IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy.
X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in its particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required: and shall make out, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or very likely believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable:—Also, if there appear any fraud, or false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restoration or payment, by virtue of his policy.
XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbiters, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same, in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever.
XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
