A small, but Valuable FARM for Sale. THE SUBSCRIBER owns a Farm of about 200 acres, in the County of York, which he is disposed to sell — It lies nearly half way between the towns of York and Hampton, and is bounded on its southern side by the main road leading from Hampton, through York and Williamsburg to Richmond. It would therefor be a good stand for a Tavern or Store, or the Shop of a Mechanick; the soil is every where fertile, and in some parts highly so; and perhaps no land promises, from the nature of soil and other advantages, with more certainty to reward its cultivator. It lies near a Water-Gist and Saw Mill, and within about two miles of a good publick landing. The river on which this landing is established, is remarkable for the fine quality as well as the abundance of its Fish and Oysters. Upon the upper part of the land, there is a small Dwelling-House, in which there is a tenant for the present year; but the house is of little value; there are no other buildings on the land. Mr. Guerard Robinson, who resides near it will show it to any one disposed to view it, and either he or Capt. Mauley Todd, of Smithfield, or Mr. Richard Young, of Warwick Town will treat for the sale of it, or application may be made to Merit M. Robinson. Smithfield, October 18. 8m

The rupture between our cabinet and the British minister, is a circumstance which must give serious concern to every one who has the interest and happiness of this nation at heart. The French party rejoice, and now look for the consummation of all their hopes, the reward of all their long devotion to France, either under her revolutionary government, or her Corsican master. It requires some patience to listen to some who are now assuming all the patriotism of the nation, when those who have taken the trouble to examine their conduct can produce incontestible evidence of a devotion to a foreign government, and an open and profligate opposition to their own. It will become such men, to assume in the present crisis airs of patriotism, and to ascribe to others a want of attachment to their government.
We feel a confidence, that the people of this nation, will rally round their government, and resent with firmness any attempt on the part of a foreign government or its agents, to insult the nation, or to intermeddle with its concerns. But when we see that already attempts are making to cause suspicion to be attached to the Federalists, we are not inclined to be silent, the more when we recollect and know the foul source from whence these suspicions proceed.
We have no other authority for the truth of what is said to have been the conduct of Mr. Jackson, than what appears in the National Intelligencer, but believing it to be true, we have expressed our opinions, and to which we have nothing to add.
This is not the first instance in which the government has been insulted by a foreign minister, but we both hope and believe that it will not furnish another instance of countenance to a foreign agent, in contempt of all decency, and regard to the American character.
Those who are now assuming such extraordinary airs of virtue, will moderate a little in their high tone, when they find that their conduct is not forgotten, upon more occasions than one. Most part, if not nearly all of our readers, know the conduct of Genet, he insulted this government by language, which is too indecent to be here repeated, he assumed the right of carrying on naval, and military enterprises from our country, by commissioning and arming our citizens against nations, with whom we were at peace. He had the audacity to say that the President ought to have convened Congress upon his arrival, making himself the judge of the duties of the President; when checked in this insolent career, he threatened to appeal, and actually did appeal to the people. He was supported by a party notwithstanding, and upon a memorable occasion the following toast was given:—“The persecuted citizen Genet, may the shafts of calumny aimed at him, recoil on their archers.” This was after his recall, which was at the instance of the President. Touchet pursued the same insolent conduct, and had the insolence when speaking of the President's Proclamation of neutrality, to call it “insidious.”
Adet, was not behind his predecessors, and closed his mission by an appeal to the people, for the express purpose of influencing an approaching election. Under all these disgraceful circumstances, these ministers, found a party and papers, who openly sustained them in their indecent and dangerous proceedings.
Even after the unjust conduct of the French government had proceeded to such lengths, that this nation was driven to arms, the party still supported their pretensions. And of the evidence of the intrigues of the French government with the citizens of this country, one instance among many, will be sufficient to notice. The answer of the French minister of foreign relations to our ministers in the year 1798, was in the possession of a printer in this country, before it reached the American government. With all these, and many more proofs of a similar nature, which could be produced, shall such men lay exclusive claim to the confidence of the nation? Will the people bestow their confidence on those, who have enlisted themselves under the banners of a foreign power? In bringing these circumstances into notice at this juncture, we have no other object, than to guard our fellow citizens against those, whose motives by reference to the facts which we have stated cannot be doubted.
On Saturday arrived in Hampton Roads, the French National Schooner TITLIZ, commanded by Mous. DESMOLANES, in 40 days from Bayonne. It is said that she brings despatches for the French minister at Washington.
Exchange of Papers. —We have frequently occasion to notice this subject, when an exchange has been desired, and have stated our terms, that is, we will exchange with papers, that are less in price than ours for the difference; than which there is nothing more reasonable, tho' it may not be satisfactory. The cost of papers in the country, are not aware of the increased expense which those who conduct papers in the country are put to, in the hire of persons and purchase of boats, amounting to
a sum which is very heavy upon the establishment. The information which is collected at their expense is diffused thro' the country, and benefits the country papers. We cannot deviate from our determination, because we consider it founded upon justice. Those editors who do not please to agree to our terms, have no occasion to be angry, still less to disgrace themselves by vulgar blackguard abuse, such for example as was written on “The Independent Republican of the 6th instant,” a paper printed at Chillicothe, in Ohio, “Go to hell, since you won't exchange.” The editor of that paper, no doubt, thought himself very smart when he wrote the above, but if he has any sense of decency, he must be ashamed when he reads this exposure.
GENERAL SMITH has been re-elected a Senator for the State of Maryland to the United States.
The information under the Charleston head, will claim the attention of the American Merchants and Underwriters.
On the note from the National Intelligencer published in our Gazette of yesterday, we have very little to say at present. We think it would be prudent for the people to suspend their judgment of the negotiation in question until the official correspondence which is referred to in the Intelligencer is laid before congress, which it will undoubtedly be at the approaching session. If the whole correspondence and every circumstance respecting the late unfortunate arrangements are published, the people will be able to form an opinion of the disposition of the parties to come to an accommodation; and contempt and detestation will fall on those who deserve it. It, however, to the further disgrace of our nation, the documents to be communicated to congress should be marked “private,” and should be considered in that house with closed doors, we have a tale to tell which may not be very pleasing to some delicate ears. It is a story that will not tell well in history. But more of this hereafter.

“Implication or Insinuation.” —Some people who are very fond of finding meaning to words where none was intended, may think that a threat is implied in the above paragraph, and that we insinuate that something is wrong in a certain cabinet not a thousand miles from our press. We therefore declare, once for all, that we threaten none but the guilty. Every one will allow that there is a fault somewhere: be it our task to fix it on the right persons.
We are informed that Mr. Jackson has demanded and obtained his passports from our government, and that he will leave this country soon with his family and suite. Some people suppose that Mr. Oakley will continue here as charge d'affaires, but it is our opinion that no one will be left in that character; and perhaps no other minister will be sent from the British government to this country, in the present situation of our affairs. [Ubid.]
We sometime since stated that Lieut. col. William Duane was, or soon would be, ordered on duty to New Orleans, and we at the same time, gave it as our opinion that the colonel never would join the army. We now affirm that in less than three months William Duane will resign his commission in the army, and we have good reason to believe that in less than three months, after his resignation, he will virulently and indirectly denounce the president of the United States, as weak, wicked, and incapable.—Demo. Press.
Reflections on the state of Europe. —Under this head, the Connecticut Courant has lately published a series of numbers. The writer concludes the whole with the following pertinent and impressive remarks:
“In the stupendous drama of Europe, which began with the French Revolution, almost every succeeding act has produced surprise by its novelty, and has abounded with incidents as terrific as they were unexpected. Both wisdom and folly have been baffled alike in their conjectures respecting the future. In vain has the learned sage explored the pages of history, ancient and modern, to find some parallel instance that might enable him to conjecture the future from the past. In vain has the shrewd politician, the wily statesman, attempted to lift the veil from futurity, so far as to discern consequences from their causes nicely weighed in his balance. All, all, have been equally puzzled, equally baffled in their theories, equally out in their guesses; and from first to last, it has happened that what occurs to-day affords no means by which to judge of to-morrow.
“We have seen a great and high-spirited nation rise in its might and burst the bands of its government. We have seen this nation of thirty millions of people, not only prostrating and sweeping away all its civil institutions, but also waging open war, as it were, against Heaven. We have seen it, in the uproar of anarchy and atheism, covered with crimes the most horrible, and mangling itself with the murder of myriads of its citizens. While thus weltering in its own blood, and seemingly in its last agonies, we have seen it spring forward in the paroxysms of rage, bearing down all before it with irresistible might, binding the surrounding nations in fetters, and spreading havoc and ruin far and wide.
“We have seen a young man of no name or family, an adventurer, a foreigner, who had fed upon the bread of publick charity—we have seen him step forward, put his bits in the mouth of this furious nation, scourge it with his whip and goad it with his spurs. We have seen thirty millions of people, who generally, neither feared God nor regarded man, who had spurned all laws divine and human; we have seen them, one and all, bend their necks to the yoke of the usurper. We have seen them, all as one man, become the tools of his ambition, a mighty engine in his hands, that has been wielded by him hither and thither at his pleasure. Like the He Goet in the Prophet Daniel, that ‘touched not the ground’ as he went, we have seen this modern Alexander, moving in his career of victory with astonishing rapidity, shaking the pillars of every government within his reach, overturning thrones at a single blow, putting down and setting up kings, and still adding nation after nation to the train of his conquests. We have seen
monarchy crumble at his touch, and all the world from first to last, to promote his views. All that we have seen already; and what will be the next act in the drama, or what its catastrophe, Omnipotence alone can foretell.
“The kingdom is the lord's, and He is the Governor among the nations. ‘He sitteth upon the circuit of the Heavens,’ and ‘darkness is under his feet.’—Divine Providence rules and overrules the affairs of both nations and individuals; and amidst the convulsions, the confusions, and the changes, in Europe, it constantly marches forward with unerring wisdom towards the accomplishment of its final purposes—Yet, while we acknowledge awe, the dispensations of divine providence ‘in staining the pride of human glory and bringing into contempt the honourable of the earth;’ also while we entertain a firm belief that it will be so ordered by the Dispenser of all events, that good will finally grow out of this state of things—we do, in the mean time, not the less detest the instruments of cruelty that are filling the earth with violence and with blood. They ‘mean not so, neither do their hearts think so.’ Their aim is not final good or indeed any good to mankind, but to advance their own ambitious views and to gratify their cruel dispositions. And they are to be resisted, on the same principle that we would resist and destroy a robber, an assassin, who should attempt to plunder us of our property and to murder our wives and children. Napoleon's fall may be as sudden as his elevation; or if, for the wise and holy purpose of Divine Providence, his power should be continued and yet further enlarged, there is still a power above, that has fixed his bounds which he cannot pass; a power that is never wanting, eventually, to those who duly confide in it, and are not wanting to themselves.
“The signs of the times” are truly awful. The tempest grows louder and yet louder;—and in this alarming juncture, it behoves us to bethink ourselves of our own safety. Placed as we are at a great distance from the theatre of general uproar and carnage, and kept, as yet, out of the vortex, we are, in this respect in an enviable situation;—a situation which we ought to contemplate without lively gratitude to the Governor of the Universe, nor without heart-felt compassion for our suffering fellow-beings.—Never had a nation more means of happiness, more urgent calls for patriotism, more frequent or more solemn warnings against internal divisions and dissensions; yet we torn a deal ear.—Instead of uniting like a band of brothers to ward off the blow that threatens us, we are but adding weight to it by violent and acrimonious discord among ourselves.—Is this worm at the root, a worm that will never die? Is there no balm that can heal or assuage the wounds which have been made among us by the rancorous spirit of party?—Then, our ruin must be inevitable; for a nation, any more than a house divided against itself, cannot stand. A crisis may arrive, and very soon too, that will give opportunity to some daring usurper to fix his foot upon our necks.
“My fellow-citizens, of whatever political party we have been or are, let this be henceforward our general motto, For God and our Country. —Let us beware of that moral poison , or of those infidel, atheistical principles and practices, which first opened the gate to the flood of miseries whereby Europe is overwhelmed.—Let us practice those political, moral, and religious virtues, which exalt a nation. Let us shun the contagion of French influence , and of all foreign influence , with as much vigilance and dread as we should shun the touch of the hand of death.—And then, ‘in the name of our God, we might set up our banners, and bid defiance to the arms of flesh, how potent, soever, that should offer to assail us.’”
From the Freeman's Journal.
MILITARY ESSAY.
The following article, from a London paper, contains matter of much interest to our own countrymen. Indeed it is evident to all men of sense, that the idea of becoming a great military character by reading hooks of geographers, and poring over maps of distant regions, is one of the most ridiculous of which human nature can become the dupe.
THE COMMAND OF ARMIES.
“As the erroneous ideas that prevail on some important national concerns often occasion the measures of government to be blamed by persons otherwise very much disposed to justify them, we think a good effect may be produced by the publication of what follows:
“No just comparison can be made betwixt the art of directing the operations of armies, and any of those arts or kinds of business in which the same circumstances are continually repeated. War is not to be carried on in the same manner in one country as in another. The operations of small armies are not to be imitated in those of great ones. If they were the most fatal consequences might ensue. The dispositions and motions of armies in a field of battle depend greatly on the nature of ground, so that nothing can be more diversified.—For those and many other reasons that could be given, generalship is entirely an exercise of the understanding. Had it been acquired in the same manner with a mechanick art, the long wars carried on by Louis XIV must have produced some able commanders; yet those to whom that monarch entrusted the command of armies, and who had risen gradually to the high rank of marshal de France, committed such errors as threw their country to the brink of ruin,* whereas Conde, Turenne, and Luxembourg, whose genius enabled them to form a perfect idea of military operations before they had seen them, commanded armies with the same success from the beginning that they ever did afterwards.
“Prince Eugene, of Savoy, was generalissimo of the Austrian armies from the beginning of the last century to the year 1736; a period of almost continued wars, in which, if the military science could be acquired in the manner that many imagine, it might naturally be supposed, that under such a commander, some able generals must have been produced in those armies. But the first war undertaken by the great Frederick, began a few years after the death of the prince Eugene, and the Prussian monarch lessons the merit of his own continual victories in that war, by acknowledging a want of

reality in the Austrian generals. It is well known that the present conqueror of a great part of Europe, made his first essay in the command of armies, by defeating in Italy the experienced generals of the same power.
“Besides the great diversity of circumstances in military operations, there is another reason why those who think that the art of war may be acquired like a matter of practice, are not aware of it. Let any one compare an exact plan of the extent of a few miles in a part of the country little known to him, with the appearance which the same objects present to his sight, he will perceive how different that appearance is from the reality of the proportional extent of all the parts delineated in the plan, and how much he would be mistaken in judging of the extent of distant parts of the ground. Then supposing two armies to be extended over the same part of the country, he could still less form an idea of the motions of troops in those distant parts, even before clouds of dust and smoke concealed those objects from him.
“This would be the case if he were only a spectator entirely master of his own time, and not an officer whose attention must be taken up with his duty. It is therefore imagined only by persons who have no idea of the operations of armies, that officers can judge of those operations from what they themselves see. They learn what passed in an engagement after it is over, by the reports of those who commanded the different divisions of the army, examined on an exact plan of the ground, in which the dispositions of both armies, and the changes of disposition, are delineated; they may improve the knowledge thus acquired by traversing the ground itself in all directions, but cannot view the whole at once as in a plan, unless from the top of some neighbouring mountain, without another hill or mountain to intercept the view. Officers may in the same manner acquire a perfect knowledge of all the wars that have been waged since the revival of the military science, at least of all those where exact relations, with plans and descriptions of the fields of battle, have been given by intelligent military men.
“But as one cannot be said to have studied mathematics, although he has read all the demonstrations that are to be found in the works of the greatest mathematicians, unless he has convinced himself by the exercise of his own reason of the truth of those demonstrations, so neither can a military man be said to have studied the art of war although he has read the accounts of all the campaigns from which any instruction can be derived, and the maxims & observations, which the greatest generals have left, unless he has, by the exercise of his own reason, discovered whether or not the causes assigned by those generals for the good or bad success of campaigns, or for the victory or the defeat in engagements, evidently the real causes, and whether or not these maxims and observations were unquestionably just and true. By blindly following an example without a perfect comprehension of it, egregious errors might be committed. In all this were considered by those who are apt to hazard opinions on the appointment of military commanders, they would be sensible of the necessity of being well informed of the mental powers of the persons so appointed; and whether or not, having been bred in the army, they have exercised those mental powers in meditations on those abstruse and most essential parts of the art of war, which remain always unknown to the far greater number of officers of all armies.”
† These whom his Prussian majesty names as candidates for the command against him, are, Cokhseck, Willis, Seckendorf, Neuperg, Schmettau, Khovenbulien, and the prince of Saxe Hiberhausen.

PEDIGREE OF MADAME BUONAPARTE.
Martinique, June 2.
In the year 1620, a ship arrived at this island with a cargo of Esso ne roes from Africa, Monsieur Fontane, a planter, became a purchaser, & bought a girl named Quasheba, who being a likely bussey, the driver of the estate, named Quamino, took her to wife. By Quasheba he had a large family, and a daughter, a coquely jade, called Cumba, whom the under driver, called Quaco, took for a wife. Quaco had 5 children by her; one of the daughters, called Cumba, was taken into keeping by the white carpenter of the estate, who had three children by her, one a daughter called Adelfide was taken as a mistress by the overseer, who became so fond of her that he purchased her freedom—by Adelaide he had 5 children, one a daughter, who was kept by a capt. Delamer, of the marine, by whom she had a daughter, to whom the captain, on his decease, left his fortune—This daughter, called Odun, or Nocodena, was married to a planter, of the name of Nonie. This Nonie had a large family whom he sent to France for their education; one of his daughters married a French merchant of the name of Lechmere, established in eminence at Guadalupe; and the other, a planter of the name of Francis, at Martinique; by this marriage was a girl, (Buonaparte's wife's mother) who married a Monsieur La Pagerie.
Monsieur La Pagerie had a daughter, the present wife of Buonaparte, who was a wanton almost from her birth, for at the age of 13 she was debauched by her mother's two servants, a black and a mulatto, to whom she proved pregnant. The poor mother applied to a doctor, who furnished her with a potion for a certain purpose, which was effected, and the negro and mulatto shipped off to the Spanish Main. A count B' Aubarno becoming enamoured with Mademoiselle La Pagerie, married her. Whilst Beauarnois was in America, his wife was brought to bed of Martinique of a mulatto boy, which was reported by the family to be dead, but kept upon the estate as the child of one of the white mechanicks, and when six years old was sent to France, where it is said he is now living, and must be one year older than his brother prince Eugene, Madame La Pagerie died about two years ago at Martinique, leaving a very good character behind her. She was strongly solicited to go to Paris, but her daughter having mentioned in one of her letters, that Buonaparte was determined to compel the Pope to marry his mother, and that he had it also in contemplation to marry her to Cardinal Fesch, the old lady was determined never to quit the island.
WASHINGTON CITY, N. Y. 15.
The SECRETARY OF THE NAVY arrived in this city, on Monday last.

this place is suspended by one of those events which should call extraordinary and not their frequent occurrence for a few years past make them familiar to us. Without any redress for the accumulated wrongs heaped upon us, or for the bitter indignity committed by the outrage on the Chesapeake, a war and wanton insult has been offered directly to our government by a minister, whom the unsuspecting magnanimity of the nation trusted would in truth have turned out to be a messenger of peace. Sent, expressly as we have been told, to heal misunderstandings, occasioned by the acknowledged mis-takes, if not injuries, of his own government, he has permitted himself, in violation of the plainest dictates of reason, and the clearest precepts of the law of nations, to offer the grossest insult, in the power of ingenuity to devise, to the American nation, by insinuating a doubt of the veracity of its government.
Sensible that our countrymen are no ways deficient in spirit, and that foreign injury and insult, so far from possessing the power to awe, will only serve to excite a just resentment, we shall abstain from ministering aid to a flame which, we require nothing in anticipating, will blaze from one end of the nation to the other. It is indeed most manifest that since the inexplicable disavowal of the arrangement entered into with Mr. Erskine, it has required every effort of moderation and wisdom to keep down the tone of the public mind; and had the government chosen with that scene to close all further intercourse with Britain, there is no doubt but that the nation would have gone heart in hand with them.
As, however, this case is somewhat new in our political annals, we shall lay before our readers a few extracts from Vattel, the most approved writer on the law of nations, and certainly the writer, who from the uncommon benevolence of his disposition, of all others is the most cautious in narrowing and circumscribing the causes of collision between nations.
Book 2. Chapt. 8. Vattel says:—“Every nation, every sovereign, ought to maintain his dignity by causing the respect to be paid to it which is his due, and especially not to suffer that any stain be cast upon it. If he has then, titles and honour that belong to him according to constant custom, he may require them, and he ought to do it on occasions where his glory is concerned.
“But it is proper to distinguish, between the negligence or the omission of what ought to be done according to commonly received custom, and positive acts of disrespect and insult. The prince may complain of negligence, and if it is not repaired may consider it as a mark of bad disposition: he has a right to demand, even by force of arms, the reparation of an insult. The Czar Peter I. complained in his manifesto against Sweden, for not having fired the cannon on his passage to Riga. He might complain of it; but to make this the cause of a war, was being extremely prodigal of human blood.
Book 4. Chapt. 7. he says:—“Should a foreign minister offend the prince himself, be wanting in respect to him, and by intrigues raise disturbances in the state and court, the injured prince, from a particular regard to the minister's master, sometimes require that he should be recalled; or, if the fault be more heinous, the prince forbids him the court, till he receives an answer from his master; but in important cases proceeds so far, as to order him to quit his dominions.
“Every sovereign has an unquestionable right to proceed in this manner; for being master in his own dominions no foreigner can stay at his court, or in his dominions, without his permission. And though sovereigns are generally obliged to hear the overtures of foreign powers, and to admit their ministers, this obligation ceases entirely with regard to a minister, who being himself wanting in the duties incumbent on him from his character, becomes dangerous or justly suspected by him, to whom he is to come only as a minister of peace.”
So much for this particular case. We shall in our next, should nothing more important offer, lay before our readers more copious extracts on the duties and privileges of publick ministers, it being desirable that on this delicate point, the citizen should know and conform to his duties as well as the minister.
It remains to be seen in what manner this extraordinary cause for the rupture of the negotiation will be received by the publick. That a vast majority will rally round the government there can be no doubt. As little can exist of the cordial co-operation of the legislative and executive departments, between whom and the people there happily exists a perfect identity of interests and feelings. But how will the federal part of the community received it? Will they seize this new opportunity that offers, to shew that, in a juncture, they know no government but their own? That they are as sensible to the insults it receives, as they are interested in the maintenance of its honor and their own rights? Will they co-operate in the exhibition to the foreign world of a spectacle of harmony and union, that will insure our eventual triumph, and draw closer perhaps, than ever, the bands of fraternity among ourselves? We sincerely trust and hope they will. It has recently given us pleasure on more occasions than one to express our satisfaction at the honorable and dispassionate temper which has characterized the most respectable members of the federal party, those, who in point of talents, property and distinction, hold the most stake in the country. They have not scrupled to avow their confidence in the honour and wisdom of the administration. Now is the time for them to shew the sincerity of their professions, the purity of their patriotism. They have now the most opportunity of serving their country. Will they seize it?
The public will look with interest for the correspondence between the Secretary of State and Mr. Jackson, which will, we presume, be laid before congress at the opening of their session.

BALTIMORE, October 15. The Mail—The mail has again failed at Philadelphia. Roads uncommonly good!
Wealth of Maryland—By the report of the auditor during the present session, which we have not yet found room for, it appears that the finances of the state of Maryland are in a flourishing condition. No mortgage on specie and in stock, 1,728,168 dollars.
New-York, November 14. Very late from Tonnungen—Captain M'Millen who arrived last evening in the remarkable passage
achieve at the time of its departure, (the 8th ult.) that hostilities would soon be re-commenced between Austria and France—that there was an expectation that the whole of Germany and her neighbours would rise en masse to expel the common disturber, who was still struggling under some just affliction somewhere in the neighbourhood of the spot where he last caused the earth to be stained with human blood.
It will be seen in another part of this Gazette, that capt. M'Millen has favoured us with a list of about 80 sail of American vessels, which he left at Tonnungen—nothing could be more acceptable to owners and underwriters, as, it appears, there was no difficulty in disposing of their cargoes to great advantage. Our list does not state particular situations of each vessel, but captain M. says many were loaded and loading with German goods for America, some of them were gone and going up the canal, and others for Russia, England, &c.
Capt. Wheelwright, arrived at Boston on Saturday last from Spain, and favoured the editors of the Boston Centinel with a file of Seville official, and Cadiz Gazettes, to the last of September. They do not contain any war news, excepting details of affairs of posts. The great body of the French force in Spain being concentrated in the Castiles in front of Madrid; opportunity was given to the Spanish partizan corps, scattered over the peninsula, to attack the weakened French garrisons, and to destroy their foraging parties. The patriots had recovered Santander. New risings of the patriots were mentioned in the districts between Madrid and Bayonne. The position of the armies had not recently been changed.
The spirit of the Supreme Junta, and the people, appeared to be unabated; and the Junta were attending as much to the correction of ancient abuses, and the repeal of unpopular taxes, as they were to the accumulation of means to carry on the war. The extracts from the French papers copied into the Gazette of the Junta, are accompanied by very severe notes.
Boston, November 9. Extract of a letter from Rotterdam, to a Merchant in this town, dated Oct. 3.
The disposition of our government in regard to the admission of Americans, has again considerably changed of late; so that it seems they are now determined not to admit any American cargoes whatever, even if they should consist only of articles permitted before, such as tobacco, ashes, whale oil, bark and medicines.
“The resolutions of our government in regard to trade, are now so fluctuating, that no dependence can be placed upon the duration of Commercial Regulations for any length of time, and therefore it is very possible that if a vessel, with before permitted articles, should arrive, the admission of it might be obtained; but we repeat, that nothing can be said of it with certainty.”
LEXINGTON, (K.) Oct. 28. GOVERNOR M. LEWIS.
A letter from a gentleman in Russellville dated Oct. 20, to his friend in this town, says:—“A gentleman from Nashville informs me, that he conversed with a person who had seen Gov. Lewis hurried on the 12th inst. about 40 miles beyond Nashville on the Natchez road. The accounts are that Gov. Lewis arrived at a house very weak, from a recent illness at Natchez, and shewed marks of mental derangement. After a stay of a few hours at the above house, he took his pistols and shot himself twice, and then cut his throat.”
The above unfortunate intelligence is confirmed by a gentleman at present in this place. It is added, that Gov. Lewis, in addition to shooting himself twice in the body, and cutting his throat, shot himself in the head, and cut the arteries in his thighs and arms.
We have been unable to procure any satisfactory intelligence of the circumstances which led to this unhappy event. We have only heard it stated, that Gov. Lewis drew bills to a considerable amount on the government of the United States, for which there had been no specific appropriations, and which came back protested. We can hardly suppose, however, that an incident of this kind, alone, could have produced such deplorable consequences.
[After the above was put in type, a gentleman politely handed us a Nashville paper of the 20th inst. from which we have made the following extracts:]
To record the untimely end of a brave and prudent officer, a learned scholar and scientific gentleman, this column of the Clarion is ushered to the world in black.—On the night of the 10th inst. Meriwether Lewis, governor general of Upper Louisiana, on his way to Washington city, came to the house of Mr. Grinder near the Indian line in this state—called for his supper and some spirits, of which he partook and gave some to his servants.—Mr. Grinder not being at home, Mrs. Grinder retired to the kitchen with her children, and the servants (after the governor went to bed, which he did in good order) went to a stable about 300 yards distant to sleep, no one in the house with the governor—and some time before midnight Mrs. Grinder was alarmed by the firing of two pistols in the house—she called to the servants without effect—and at the appearance of day-light the servants came to the house, when the governor said he had now done for himself—they asked what, and he said he had shot himself and would die, and requested them to bring him water, he then lying on the floor, where he expired about 7 o'clock in the morning of the 11th. He had shot a ball that grazed the top of his head, and another through his intestines, and at his neck, arm and ham with a razor. When in his best senses he spoke about a trunk of papers that he said would be of great value to our government. He had been under the influence of a deranging medicine for about six weeks—the cause of which is unknown, unless it was from a protest to a draft which he drew on the secretary at war, which he considered tantamount to a disgrace by government.
In the death of governor Lewis the publick behold the wreck of one of the noblest of men. He was a pupil of the immortal Jefferson; by him he was reared—by him he was instructed in the tour of the sciences—by him he was introduced to publick life, when his enterprising soul, great botanical knowledge, acute penetration, and personal courage, soon pointed him out as the most proper person to command a projected exploring party to the N. W. Coast of the American continent.
There is reason to believe that the condition that he might take Mr. Clark with him.—They started—the best wishes of the American people attended them. After an absence of two years, (to us of anxious solicitude) we were cheered with the joyful return of our countrymen. A new world had been explored—additional knowledge in all the sciences obtained, at a trifling expense.—The voice of fame echoed the glad tidings through the civilized world—the name of Lewis was the theme of universal praise: The national legislature voted a complimentary donation to the brave little band.
Scarcely had the governor time to pay his respects to a widowed mother, before he was again called into active service. The Upper Louisiana had been torn to pieces by party feuds, no person could be more proper to calm them—he appeared and all was quiet.
The limits assigned this notice do not admit of a particular detail of his executive acts—suffice it to say that the parties created by local circumstances and Wilkinson were soon united—the Indians were treated with, and large purchases of valuable land made of them—the laws were amended, and judicious ones adopted—to the securing the citizens of the territory from a renewal of the scenes of 1806.
During the few leisure moments he had from his official duties, he was employed in writing the particulars of his celebrated tour up the Missouri—to complete which appears to have been the wish nearest his heart—and it gives us much pleasure, if we can feel it pleasure in the present melancholy instance, to state that we have it from a source which can be depended upon, that he had accomplished the work in three very large volumes, with an immense number of paintings—and all was ready for the press. We hope these volumes may be the means of transmitting to posterity the worth of a man whose last act casts a gloom over the fair pages of his early life.
The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave Await alike the inevitable hour— The paths of glory leads but to the grave.”
CHARLESTON, Nov. 11. The Swedish ship Gustavus, Evers, 31 days from Liverpool, in distress, bound to Amelia Island, anchored in the roads last evening. The Gustavus sailed the 8th October, and on the 14th, in lat. 49, 18, long. 20, was captured by the French private ship of war Le Decide, from Bordeaux, capt. Brülle, of 18 guns and 150 men. Capt. B. informed capt. Evers, that his orders were to ransom, burn or destroy, all vessels from or to England, provided the value of the vessel and cargo captured did not amount to 40,000 dollars; if the amount exceeded that sum, he was to send them for France.—The Gustavus and cargo not being considered worth 40,000 dollars, the captain of the privateer insisted on having her immediately ransomed, or he should destroy her; which induced capt. Evers to draw bills on England for 25,000 dollars, being the amount of ransom required. Le Decide had captured, a few days prior to falling in with the Gustavus, the American ships Resolution, captain Bunker, from London for New-York, which they took the crew out of, plundered and destroyed;—Laconia, Walker, from Liverpool for Portsmouth, N. H. ransomed; and Henrietta, Nickels, from Liverpool for N. York, valuable cargo, sent to France. Captains Bunker and Nickels, with two English gentlemen passengers in the Henrietta, were suffered to go on board the Laconia. Every vessel ransomed had her chief mate and two able seamen taken out and detained on board the privateer, as security for the payment of the bills drawn; and in case of the non-payment, these men were to be imprisoned in France, until payment was made. They got on board the Gustavus, Mr. Quinn, chief mate, and two seamen of the Henrietta. Capt. Brülle said he was fitted out purposely to capture Americans—he treated the master and crew of the Gustavus politely.—The ship Sally, Webber, for this port, and the Frances, for New York, were to sail same day with the Gustavus, also several other vessels for the United States, many of which it is feared have been captured.

Eagle Fire Company  Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall Street.  PROPOSALS  For 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 public. * 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.  NO. I.  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.  NO. II.  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.  NO. III.  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.  NO. IV.  HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS.

Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire. This manner of classing 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 or 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 surrounded 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.

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.
