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

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

LAND FOR SALE. The Subscriber wishes to sell his Plantation, called BARN ELMS, Lying on the Piankank River in the County of Middlesex, consisting of 1140 acres of Land, that is surpassed by few es- tates of the county in goodness of quality. It has on it a spacious Dwelling-House, consisting of two buildings of brick, covered with cypress, connected by a co- vered way, one of which has in its two common rooms, and a very spacious one, with an excellent cellar beneath, of three rooms, and a vault—the other has in it four common rooms, with a store room and several closets—a kitchen and laundry of brick, covered with cypress, with two rooms below stairs, on each a brick building covered with cypress, about 30 feet by 20, with two apartments below, and one above, one of the lower ones serving as a dairy, a wooden dairy with a dry well under it, a smoke-house, a stable of brick covered with cypress, and lately done up in the best manner—A house for carriages and other purposes, 42 feet by 20, now framed of good oak, and covered with cypress, with a hip'd roof that affords a spacious apartment; an ice-house 30 feet square, built last fall of excellent materials, and painted (as well as most of the buildings will be during the fall) with a small barn, to which another is about to be added 40 feet by 20; a spacious falling garden, with a good expo- sure, on which much care and attention have been bestowed, in order to render it desirable (with good effect) and enclosed principally with cedar posts and cypress pails—Also a va- riety of choice fruit trees. The Lands about the house are laid off in convenient yards, with excellent enclosures about them; and those ad- joining them to the extent of 50 or 60 acres in lots, which have been much improved, and are under tolerable good en- closures. The Subscriber has been induced from the great advan- tages possessed by the situation of this estate, to spend much of his time in improving it, (and has in some measure suc- ceeded) expecting to have made it his residence, it lying in a situation to preclude intrusion, though on the navigable waters of the Piankank, affording a ready conveyance to or from Baltimore and Norfolk, from the latter of which, it is distant 70 miles by land, and about 160 by water, and 72 from Richmond—This river affords perhaps a greater variety of the advantages attending an establishment on the wa- ter, than any other in our State; it certainly does in propor- tion to its extent, there being the finest sheep's-head, rock, oysters, crabs, and a variety of other fine fish, to be taken from it in their respective seasons.—To a Sportsman, there would be a great fund of amusement, there being a great many deer and foxes in the neighbourhood, with snipe in their season, and an innumerable stock of partridges on the es- tate, with other game common to that part of the country. There are about 300 acres of the Land cleared, that have been in cultivation for some time, and by the end of the year there will be 40 or 50 more cut down and logged, in order to be taken up at any time the proprietor may choose, and about 300 acres of the Wood Land lies in such a manner as to be cleared and cultivated to advantage. It may be well to remark, that the subscriber's disposition to sell this Tract of Land, does not proceed from any unhealthiness of the situa- tion, it being on the contrary, one of the most healthy pos- sible to be found on our water courses. I deem it unnecessary to say anything here of the terms on which the estate would be sold, as it is expected that any person disposed to purchase, will view the Lands previous to their being an occasion of his being thereof informed, which he may be at Barn Elms, at any time after the first of No- vember next. I would also sell 400 acres of Land, lying in the county of Gloucester, near Capahosick Ferry, and in the neighbour- hood of Mr. William Jones, and Thomas Fox, Esq.—Also, 750 acres, lying in the county of King and Queen, near the New Dragon Bridge.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SKEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC. 3, 1806.
By the sloop Katy Maria, captain Storer, from New-York, we received papers of that city to Friday, from which we have extracted European advices to the 9th October.
The brig Franklin, capt. Smith, of and from this port bound to Barbados, and taken by the French privateer Austerlitz, the 4th of October, is re-taken and has arrived at Antigua.
CAPTAIN JOHNSON, from Martinique informs, that a Frigate and two Brigs arrived at Port Royal the 31st of October from France, said to have 500 troops on board. They sailed in company with four other frigates from Rochefort; a few days after leaving port, they were chased by a British squadron, when they separated.—It is supposed the other frigates were taken.
One of the gentlemen who arrived here in the ship Governor Gillman, informs us, that previous to his departure, he read in an Amsterdam paper of the 9th of Oct. an account of the capture of four French frigates by a squadron under the command of commodore Sir Samuel Hood, after a severe action. The French squadron consisted of five frigates, (one of which escaped) bound from France for the West Indies, with troops; and mistaking commodore Hood's ships for Indiamen, bore down upon them, and before they discovered the mistake, were within reach of the guns of the British squadron. Commodore Hood lost an arm in the action.
The same paper stated, that Admiral Sir Thomas Louis had also captured a French frigate on the coast of France.
The above prizes had all arrived in England.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Shelbyville, (Ken.) to his friend near Winchester, dated Oct. 22d, 1806.
"Our State has been in considerable agitation for some time past, owing to the arrival of col. Burr. He has been for some time travelling secretly through the state, and appears as if he was constantly on express. There are also a number of his friends from New York, and different parts of the United States, travelling about in the same manner. There are many conjectures as to their intentions and business—some say that a division of the Union (the Allegany mountain to be the line) is their object—Others say, that they intend an expedition against the Spaniards in Louisiana.—But the more general, and I believe, the most correct opinion is, that they are planning an expedition against the Spanish Mines, and provinces of Santalce and Mexico. This much is certain, that col. Burr and his friends, as also many of our most influential characters here, are for whole days together shut up in close rooms, and no persons but those of their own party can tell what their conferences are about;—that provisions of every description are purchasing in every part of the state, sufficient for an army of twenty thousand men. On the Ohio and Kentucky rivers a number of vessels of various descriptions are building in great haste; two brigs and several barges will be completed in a very short time.
"Burr has with him some of the most wealthy men in the United States—their drafts are principally on New York; they have received very considerable sums in this state on their drafts; some of them are on Ogden and Smith, who made so much ado about gen. Miranda. Some think the expeditions are connected, as the same characters are mentioned in both; it is said they have drawn to the amount of from one to two hundred thousand dollars.
"I have myself undertaken to purchase for the company, Pork, Beef and Flour, to any amount that can be procured, and the money paid in advance—if I could get ten thousand dollars worth so much the better they would like it. Since Burr's appearance in the western country, several publications have appeared in our papers, that tend to corroborate the above opinion.
"There is also considerable talk of a war with Spain; we had the news, a few days ago, that a battle had actually been fought between the Spanish troops and the American army at or near Natchitoches; how true this is I cannot say."
From the Richmond Enquirer.
AARON BURR.
The rumours about Col. Burr have received a new direction. It is now said, that his object was not to divide the Western from the Atlantic States, but to establish a new empire in Mexico.
Such a conjecture would have had very little impression upon our minds, but for the affidavit which is said to have been made by the United States Attorney for the Kentucky district. It is impossible to believe that such an affidavit should have been made, but upon the strength of certain instructions from our government, and that those instructions were founded upon some plausible, and perhaps satisfactory evidence of the existence of some such design.
But the design considered in itself, appears romantic beyond description. The empire of Mexico is not so feeble as we have generally inferred from the imbecility of the government which rules over it. Our maps shew it to be extensive; the accounts of travellers, particularly Baron Humboldt, represent some parts of it as populous and able to bring a considerable force into the field. For the invasion and conquest of such a country; where are the resources of col. Burr? Where are his troops? Was he to overturn it by means of a few desperate young adventurers, whom he could enlist in a few of the towns of Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio or New-York? Did he expect to find recruits among the discontented Spanish and French inhabitants of Louisiana? Or was he to march with a handful of men into Mexico, under the vain expectation of rousing its inhabitants to insurrection? "Were his rebellious troops like those of Mr. Bays, at Brentford, to start up when called for? Or is it supposed that he was to
realise the fable of Pyrrha and Deucalion, and generate men by casting stones behind him?" To whatever quarter we direct our eyes, we can discern no fund of troops, to which col. Burr could have resorted, for the invaders of such an extensive empire as Mexico. An object of this sort is not beyond the attainment of the government of the United States; but to any individual, we should deem such an object the most impracticable that can be conceived.
It is impossible to admit however, that there are many circumstances in the conduct, and many traits in the present character of col. Burr, which excite considerable suspicion. They evidently bespeak the formation of some strange and mysterious project.
Why his frequent visits to the Western Country? Whence the policy of having himself appointed President of a company, for effecting a navigation at the falls of the Ohio river? could any plan have been contrived for conducting illegal designs under the affected cloak of business?
Why his attachment to the society of the young, the desperate, and the daring in all the Western towns which he visits; a trait, so peculiarly striking in the character of Cataline?
Whence his intimate connection with a rich Irishman, who is said to inhabit one of the islands of the Ohio, and to have furnished him with the principal funds for purchasing his provisions?
Col. Burr has few of those checks operating upon him, which would hold the hand of an ordinary man. He has forfeited forever the confidence of his country, by his equivocal conduct during the Presidential election. He cannot therefore calculate upon rising into power during peaceable times and by the constitutional votes of the people. He must either then consent to sink at once into obscurity, or he must cut his way to power by intrigue and force. It is almost possible to believe, that the man who was once so idiotic as to grasp at the presidential chair by means which were sure of defeating its attainment forever, would even be so rash as to have projected the design of establishing a new empire in the West.
Let us then suspend our opinions on this subject, until we have more satisfactory evidence laid before us. We had supposed it most probable that Col. Burr had aspired to nothing higher than a settlement of land in Ohio or Louisiana. The reported assertions of Gen. Eaton, and the reported affidavit of the U. States attorney for Kentucky, have however shaken our faith. We no longer deem it absolutely improbable that Col. Burr is a madman, and that he has found a few associates as mad and as criminal as himself.
Some particulars of the action between the Piedmontese, French frigate, and the hon. East India Company's ship Warren Hastings on the 21st of June, 1806, lat. 26, 13, S. long. 56, 45, E.
The Warren Hastings was a company's ship of 1200 tons, 56 guns, and 135 men, bound from China home, commanded by Thomas Larkin, Esq. laden with teas, &c. cargo worth 200,000l. had lost her convoy a few days previous. On the 21st at 7 A. M. saw a strange sail in the s. w. quarter, on the larboard tack, with an English ensign and pendant flying, made the private signal, which was not answered, concluded her an enemy, prepared for action. At noon the purser perceived the French colours, therefore we no longer remained in doubt; at 10 minutes past noon she fired a gun and hoisted the French National colours, bore up close under the W. H.'s stern, came along side within pistol shot, poured in a broadside, which was returned by the W. H. After exchanging several broadsides, the frigate filled, and shot ahead, which gave the ship an opportunity to repair damages, which were very considerable, the foremast having received a wound, lee shrouds, bow-lines, traces, &c. shot away. At the first broadside the W. H.'s ensign halliards were shot away, and the purser and one man in bending them again were shot dead. The frigate again tacked, came along side, engaging the ship to leeward, and after being warmly received for 25 minutes, again left the W. H. and went astern, which gave her a fresh opportunity to repair damages. The mainmast was wounded and rigging suffered much, but no man was hurt in this encounter.
The frigate came along side the third time, as near as two ships could approach, and the action was now very desperate on both sides, several of the W. H.'s men were wounded, foremast shot away &c. She however succeeded in beating them off a third time, when after distancing the ship about a mile, the frigate wore and came along side as close as before.—The action was renewed extremely warm on both sides, for about 30 minutes, when the frigate again left the ship, which was very much disabled in the rigging, and mainmast badly wounded; hardly had they time to stopper the rigging and reeve fresh braces, when the frigate again bore down, and the W. H. now gave her the first gun, when the action was warm, with much loss on the part of the ship. The musketry in the top of the frigate doing great execution, 3 of the W. H.'s men killed and 7 or 8 wounded; the action continued 45 minutes, when fell (5 shot successively striking it) the mizen mast, which so disabled the guns upon the lower deck as to render them useless, and the ship so ungovernable, capt. Larkin was obliged to strike, and hail the frigate to that purpose. Instantly the frigate boarded the W. H. and with the utmost cruelty stabbed a midshipman 7 times who was attempting to get a few of his cloaths, stabbed the 2d officer in the arm and the captain in the side, inhumanly dragging him from the round house, and forcing him on board the frigate, together with other officers, treating them in the most inhuman manner, and robbed every officer of whatever private articles they could lay their hands on.
They took possession of their prize and towed her into Grand Porte, Isle of France.
The frigate appeared to be the French ship Piedmontese, capt. L'Epron, carrying 48 guns and 385 men.
The crew of the W. H. were thrown into prison and the officers suffered to return home on parole. They arrived in the ship America, captain Stone, from the Isle of France, and are to embark for England in the ship Romeo.—Newburyport Herald.

The corps of Lefebvre (formerly Mortier's) consisting of 20,000 were drawing near to Schweinfurt, and that of marshal Ney was on its march. All the troops which were posted by the Warre are to reinforce the army of marshal Ange-reau.
Concerning the movements of Prussia it is stated, in letters from Berlin of the 30th Sept. that France, and Prussia is said to have insisted that Buonaparte should withdraw his troops from Germany, that he should not intermeddle in the affairs of the north, and that he should accede to measures for restoring a continental peace.

Both corps are said to be under the command of Bernadotte, and estimated at 60,000 strong. A corps of marshal Devoust, which from Otting marches to Anspach, seem destined to reinforce the above army, and is 30,000 strong. The corps of marshal Lefebvre, formerly that of Mortier, draws near Schweinfurt, in order to unite with the troops already there. Its strength may be about 20,000. Marshal Ney marches with his troops from Zwabern to Frankenland: its strength unknown. All the troops which were posted on the Var, reinforce the army of Ange-reau.
Concerning the Prussian movements the following is stated:—At Berlin the 30th September, there was not the least doubt of a commencement of hostilities, and momentary expected to be advised of its confirmation.—However, advices had been received from Gotha, that the 8th of October was the day which probably would decide Peace or War. In a late declaration of the king of Prussia to France, it is said, that he insisted that France should withdraw all her troops from Germany, and not meddle in the affairs of the North; and that he should accede to the measure of restoring peace to the continent.
The last of September the Prussian royal headquarters was removed from Naumburg to Weimer. The corps of gen.

CONTINUATION OF
Foreign Intelligence,
Received at New-York by the ship Liberty, Captain Chew, 50 days from Liverpool.
London, Sept. 29.
The mail due on Sunday se'nnight and Wednesday last, arrived this morning. It is quite certain that Cattaro is still in the hands of the Russians. It also appears, that Napoleon has been disappointed in one effect which he expected from D'Oubril's treaty. The signing of this treaty was notified to the Russian commandant at Cattaro, in the hope, that without farther orders he would give up the place. He seems, however, to have been too well acquainted with his duty as a soldier to be surprised into a surrender by such a stratagem as this; though the Austrians were to have been made instruments in the deception.
Appearances become every day more hostile on the continent. Both France and Prussia prepare with great activity. Saxony is to furnish to the latter 26,000 men, and Russia has a well appointed army ready for the field. Even Austria, greatly to the credit of the archduke Charles, has already restored her army, and supplied her wasted magazines with arms and military stores, and may soon be able to take a decided part in any new war that may be provoked by the insatiable ambition of Buonaparte.
Our private correspondent at Hamburg states a report current there, that the emperor of Russia has taken possession of Prussia proper, and even Konigsberg itself, as a security that Prussia will act in concert with the allies in the approaching war. If this be correct, we soon expect to see lord Lauderdale in London.
By letters from the Hague it appears that the greatest activity prevails in the military preparations of the army of Holland.
September 30.
The business before the board of Treasury, on Friday, which occupied their attention from two o'clock till five, is supposed to be a memorial which has been presented to the Lords, by an agent in London, of a Spanish Company called the Philippine, stating that the dollars brought to England in the Narcissus frigate, from Buenos Ayres, were not the Spanish government's, but were there private property, and only deposited at Buenos Ayres for the convenience of trade, and praying that they may be restored. The matter is still under consideration.
From the London Courier of Sept. 30. 30.
The murder of the bookseller Palm, by command of Buonaparte, deserves to excite, in a peculiar degree, the attention of this country, the last refuge and asylum of the freedom of the press. Our readers know that he was dragged from a city under the protection of Prussia, for selling a work containing free strictures on the conduct of Buonaparte; tried by a military commission and shot in the Austrian city of Brannau—an insult both to Prussia and Austria. The conduct of this man was most gallant; he was offered his pardon upon condition that he gave up the name of the author, which he refused. The offer was again put to him at the place of execution, but he called out that "he would rather die than betray the author." He was immediately shot. He has left a widow and 3 children, and the Hamburg paper says, that a subscription has been opened for them.
But the cause of M. Palm, is not merely the cause of Germany, nor of the continent. It is the cause of England, it is the cause of human nature. That detestable tyrant Buonaparte, is determined to revenge by the sword, the insults he re-

ceives from the pen; and to assassinate those who dare write or publish any strictures upon his conduct.
What the feelings of every man in this country will be upon this execrable murder we need not state: we are sure too, that the subscription for the widow and children of Palm, will not be confined to Germany.
MURDER OF PALM, the Bookseller, &c.
Brannau, Sept. 4.
Official report.—Sentence pronounced by the court-martial extraordinary, convened in pursuance of the imperial decree of the 17th Messidor, 12th year, and at the command of his highness the Prince of Neuf Chatel and Valangin, minister at war, marshal of the empire, and major-general.
In the name of his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy!
To-day, this 25th of August, in the year 1806.
The extraordinary court-martial sitting at Brannau, and by command of his highness, the prince of Neuf Chatel and Valangin, minister at war, marshal of the empire, and major-general of the grand army, under date of the 12th of the present month, named and conformably to the above law, consisting of as follows:
MESSIEURS,

Mons. Binot, adjutant-commandant, chief of the staff of the 1st division of the 4th corps of the grand army, judge advocate.
All named, that is to say,
Colonels Latrille, Lemarois, L'Huilier, and the adjutant-commandant, Binot, by his excellency marshal of the empire, Soult.
Colonel Autie, by his excellency marshal of the empire, Bernadotte.
Colonel Lajouquiere, by his excellency marshal of the empire, Ney.
Colonel Chauvel, by his excellency marshal of the empire, Mortier, and
Colonel Nicolas, by his excellency marshal of the empire, Davoust.
The judge-advocate had assigned to aid him, Monsieur Chapon, quarter-master sergeant, in the 43d regiment, as clerk of the court-martial, by the president named, who according to the spirit of the 7th and 8th articles of the 13th Brumaire, stand none of them within the forbidden degrees, neither with respect to each other, nor to the prisoner.
The court, after being duly summoned, assembled in Brannau, to proceed to judgment upon the following persons, named,
Donauwerth, and there dwelling, trader here present.
John Philip Palm, aged 40 years, born at Schondorf, and dwelling, at Nuremberg, where he carries on the book trade under the firm of the house of Stein & Co. here present.
N. Merkel, innkeeper at Neckers Ulm, in the kingdom of Wirtemberg, absent, and not appearing in court.
Joseph Frederick Jenisch, head clerk in the book-selling house of Stage, in Augsburg, absent and not appearing in court.
N. Kupser, bookseller and printer at Vienna, in Austria, absent and not appearing before the court.
N. Eurich, bookseller of Lintz in Austria, absent and not appearing in court.
Accused of being authors, printers and distributors of opprobrious writings, which have appeared against his majesty the emperor and king, and his army and have been composed with the intention of misleading the minds of the inhabitants of the South of Germany, inasmuch as they exhort them to sedition, insurrection and assassination against the French troops; nay, endeavoured to stir up the latter to disobedience and forgetfulness of their duty to their lawful commanders.
When the sitting was opened, and the president laid before him the order of the 12th of the present month, August, signed by his highness the prince of Neufchatel and Valangin, minister at war and major general of the grand army; containing the appointment of the court martial, he required the reading of the form of questions, and other acts (57 in number) as well for as against the accused.
On these being duly read, the president ordered the guard to bring forward Joseph Schoderer, one of the accused, who was accordingly brought before the court, free and without fetters, and accompanied by his advocate.
Being questioned as to his name, surname, age, occupation, birth place and abode.
He made answer—"I am called Joseph Schoderer; my age is thirty-eight; I was born and am resident a trader in Donauwerth."
After the accused was made acquainted with all the pieces and acts making against him, the president, through the medium of M. Himberger, sworn again to this effect, questioned him and presented him the pieces and acts which concerned him.
The president called the guard to produce the other accused in custody, named John Philip Palm, who was accordingly brought before the court, free and without fetters.
Being questioned upon his name, age, occupation, place of birth and dwelling.
He answered—"I am called John Philip Palm, and forty years old, born in Schondorf, and reside in Nuremberg, where I carry on the book trade, under the name and firm of the house of Stein and Co."
When the accused was made acquainted with the different pieces against him, the president, through the medium of the interpreter, duly sworn as aforesaid, proceeded to put the several questions to him.
Heard the judge advocate in his conclusion, and the accused to their defence, as well through themselves as their advocate; and when they had declared that they had nothing more to offer, the president put the question to the members of the court,
whether they had any observations to make? Upon their answer in the negative, and before proceeding to take the votes of the court, he ordered the prisoners and their counsel to withdraw. The first were taken back to their prison by the guard; the judge advocate, the clerk of the court, and the hearers present, went out on the request of the president to that effect expressed.
The court, with closed doors, deliberating in council, considering, that wherever an army is stationed, the first and chiefest care of its commanders must be to watch over its safety and preservation; that the spreading of such writings which provoke insurrection & assassination, endanger not only the safety of an army, but the whole nation; that nothing is more urgent than to suppress doctrines thro' which the people are led to lose the respect due to crowned heads, and, by a single word, to confound all notions of right, order and subordination.
The court determined unanimously that all writers, printers and distributors of such opprobrious publications, are guilty of treason; whereupon the president put the following questions:
Question 1. Is the man named Joseph Schoderer, who has been brought before you, guilty with respect to the libels which he has contributed to publish against the interests of his majesty the emperor and king, and army, his friends and allies?
The votes taken from the rank up to the president, who declared himself last, declared the said Joseph Schoderer guilty, unanimously.
Question 2. Is the said John Philip Palm, who has appeared here in court, charged with having published writings against his majesty the emperor and his army, against the friends and allies of his imperial majesty, guilty or not guilty?
The votes taken from the lowest rank up to the president, who last pronounced his opinion, brought in the said John Philip Palm guilty unanimously.
Question 3. Are the said N. Kupfer, bookseller in Austria, Markel, innkeeper of Neckers Ulm, in Wirtemberg, Joseph Frederick Jenisch, head clerk of the house of Stage and Co. booksellers in Augsburg, and N. Eurich, bookseller in Lintz, accused of selling out and distributing libels against his majesty the emperor and king, his friends and allies, guilty or not guilty?
The votes, taken from the lowest rank up to the president, who delivered himself last, declared unanimously that the aforesaid Kupfer, bookseller of Vienna; Markel, innkeeper at Neckers Ulm; Jenisch, head clerk of the house of Stage, bookseller at Lintz, were guilty.
The court condemned as follows the said Joseph Schoderer, trader of Donauwerth, present. Joseph Philip Palm, bookseller, of Nurnberg, present.
Makel, innkeeper, at Neckers Ulm, contumax. Joseph Frederick Jenisch, head clerk of the house of Stage, booksellers in Augsburg, contumax. Kupfer, bookseller at Vienna, contumax.
Eurich, bookseller at Lintz, also contumax, to the penalty of death.
It is further ordered that the said Joseph Schoderer, and John Philip Palm, at present in custody, shall be executed in twenty-four hours; and that the said Markel, Kupfer, Jenisch, and Eurich, who are absent, and have not appeared in the face of justice, shall be seized wherever they may be discovered by the French army, and the present sentence carried into full execution upon them.
The present sentence shall be translated into German, and twelve thousand copies shall be printed in both the French and German languages, and distributed and posted every where that necessity or propriety may require.
The judge advocate is enjoined to see that the said sentence be carried into execution in its full extent.
The costs of this trial shall be further defrayed at the expense of the condemned, and their property moveable or immovable, for the advantage of those to whom the authority of right before, shall be entered upon by anticipation.
Thus decreed and sentence passed in open court, at Brannau, on the day, month and year above mentioned, and signed by the members of the court, by the judge advocate and clerk.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 1.
POLITICAL RETROSPECT.
The affairs of Europe present at the present moment an aspect wholly inexplicable. While lord Lauderdale continues in Paris, engaged in discussions with a view to an accommodation between G. Britain and France, the differences between the courts of London and Berlin are said to be upon the point of being completely adjusted, the French and Prussian armies are expected every day to come to blows, and a new Coalition is talked of, the first feature of which would of course be a subsidy to support the military exertions of Prussia—Though under these circumstances it is difficult to decide what may be the event, we are of opinion that there will be no Coalition.
It is not long since it was represented that the attitude of resistance taken by Prussia had for its object the maintenance of her assumed possession of Hanover, the restitution of which was demanded by Buonaparte, to enable him to purchase peace with Britain. It was hardly to be supposed that the British government would give a subsidy, or be desirous to form a Coalition for the purpose of preserving to the king of Prussia a territory, which we ourselves claimed from France, as an indispensable Preliminary to Peace. But it seems the demand of the restitution of Hanover by Buonaparte was coupled with other demands of cessions from the immediate dominions of Prussia; and that the Cabinet of Berlin is willing to give up Hanover to its rightful owner, on condition that we will aid his Prussian majesty in maintaining the integrity of his States. This last appears now the sole object of the Coalition which some are so sanguine as to speak of. If the aggrandizement of France and its dependencies were not equally to be deprecated from whatever quarter it may be made, we should hold
it to be a satisfaction which the independent powers of Europe owe to themselves to look in silence on any oppression or spoliation Prussia may suffer from the power which her own dastardly conduct in the late war placed in a situation to trample upon her. If however, the exertions of the Cabinet of Berlin is at last compelled to make, afford a prospect of the deliverance of Europe, it would be politic to support them from whatever motives they may proceed. But what are the present prospects of a new Coalition? Three Prussian armies, amounting altogether to 100,000 men, are assembled in Saxony, Franconia, and Westphalia. A corps of reserve of 25,000 is to be formed at Custrin on the Oder, 40 miles beyond Berlin. It is said, a strong Russian force will form an encampment in Silesia, and that other bodies of Russians are at hand in Poland. But all this is very far from a new Coalition. Austria is to have made astonishing efforts towards restoring her shattered armies, and retrieving the general calamities of the late war. But she seems to have no notion of committing her half-recruited strength to the hazard of annihilation, by engaging in a new Coalition.
If the king of Prussia consents to restore Hanover to its lawful sovereign, it is probably in consequence of the pressure of the claims of Buonaparte upon him, and the unceasing exertions of our most faithful and honorable ally the king of Sweden,—This restitution is, of course, sufficient to induce a cessation of the hostile measures adopted by us with respect to Prussia. But it does not follow that we will be ready to grant subsidies which the king of Prussia may pocket, or to form Coalitions which he may desert and betray as soon as an opportunity offers of making peace with France, and participating with that power in the plunder of its neighbours. It will probably turn out, that the differences between France and Prussia are of a mere private nature, touching the interest of the two states, and that they will be adjusted without an appeal to arms, or at least without much bloodshed. It is likely that France is averse to the formation of the northern confederacy, and that schemes of the Prussian Cabinet has led to the existing differences, as well as the demands of cessions. If a new coalition is formed, and a general war on the point of commencing, those engaged in it are entitled at least to the praise of impenetrable secrecy and reserve; for there has not been, till this moment, any appearance of concert, nor is there even now any preparation which would lead the French government to believe that such a design is in agitation.
It is stated in the most recent accounts that Palm, the bookseller of Nuremberg, whose murder we noticed in our last, was offered his pardon on condition of giving up the author of the obnoxious publication—But he bravely disdained to save himself by betraying the trust reposed in him!!—His fate has excited a sensation in Germany which proves that country to be yet sensible to the emotions that ought to be excited in every free and generous nation by so foul a deed. We are rejoiced to find that the terror of French violence has not such influence as to prevent the strongest expressions of these emotions. A subscription has been set on foot for the relief of the family of Palm, and there was every appearance that a sufficient sum would be collected to afford a comfortable provision for those whom the murder of this illustrious victim has left destitute. We trust this example of the friends of freedom in Germany will be followed, in this country, with an ardour calculated to show how we are capable of estimating the generous devotion of so noble a martyr to the great cause of which we are the leaders.
HAGUE, Sept. 16.
After the arrival here of several couriers on Saturday and Sunday from Paris and Aix la Chapelle, every thing here has assumed a military appearance. The greater part of our army has received orders to collect in the camp at Triest, to wait there its further destination. The army will be assembled there by the end of the present week.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 11.
A messenger has arrived from Lord Lauderdale our ambassador in France, with information that his lordship would leave Paris on the 9th inst. A frigate has therefore been ordered to Calais to convey him over, and all hopes of peace with France are now at an end.
In consequence of this intelligence we have experienced a brisk demand for Coffees, Sugars, Dye-woods, and such articles as rule lower in time of peace, at a small advance in their prices; in Sugars of 2s. a 3s. per cwt. In American produce, however, this event is not expected to produce much alteration; our Cotton market may for a time continue dull, and the depression cause a slight variation in the prices; but the reduced state of the stocks on hand, it is generally thought, will prevent any serious decline.
Hostilities have not yet commenced between France and Prussia."

A Valuable Tract of LAND for Sale.
The Subscriber will sell his Plantation called Level-Green, adjoining the town of Kempsville, in the county of Princess Anne.
There is on the farm a Dwelling-House and orchards; it contains about 500 acres, and the soil is excellent; its figure is a square, and it's a level position.
It is convenient situated with respect to Norfolk market, being about 5 miles distant by water, and 9 by land.
It is contiguous to Broad-Creek, which abounds in good oysters; it is well timbered, and has a good landing.
Tis not extravagant to say, that from the timber alone, a net sum may be made nearly, if not entirely, equal to the purchase money.
Any person who may wish to view the Land, will apply to Mr. Wilson on the premises, to Mr. Charles Sayer, William Bishop, James Robinson, or William White, all of whom reside in the neighborhood.
The purchaser will be accommodated in a long credit.

PROPOSALS
From the PHOENIX COMPANY,
OF LONDON,
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in
Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise,
FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
INSURANCE from loss or damage by Fire, hath been found
a measure of great importance to the happiness of fami-
lies, and has given additional security to commercial trans-
actions. The distinguished approbation with which the
publick throughout Great-Britain received the improved
system of this Office, occasioned frequent application for the
Insurance of Property in the principal cities and towns of Eu-
rope and America, and induced the Company, many years
since, to extend their plan to the Western Continent. The
Phoenix Company can refer to the unerring test of experience
to ascertain their character; and, gratified by the unbound-
ed confidence they have obtained upon the continent of A-
merica, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants
the means of effecting insurance on their property, the Di-
rectors have lately determined to extend the sum which they
have been accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have
arranged Rates of Premium upon the various descriptions of
property, which they trust, will be found moderate, just
and equitable. The promptitude with which this office has
adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solidity of the funds,
are so well known, that it is unnecessary to offer more on
the subject, than to refer those who desire information, to
the merchants of London, with whom they correspond.
** In this office no injured person is liable to any call
to make good the losses of others; but in case of Fire, the
sufferer will be indemnified by the company. The company
also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
