SOCIETY OF
CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLICANS.
At a meeting of the Society of Constitutional Republicans, held by adjournment at the White Horse Tavern in Market-street, on Monday the 25th of November.
The president and vice-president of the society being absent, Mathew Cary, Esq. was called to the chair.
The committee appointed at the preceding meeting, to whom was referred the address to the constitutional Republicans of this state reported an address, which was unanimously agreed to as follows:
To the Constitutional Republicans
OF
PENNSYLVANIA.
FRIENDS AND FELLOW-CITIZENS,
The society of Constitutional Republicans having attained the great object of its institution, will cease in a few days, to exist as an organized body. While, therefore, you review the motives that led to the formation of the society, the conduct that has been observed during its continuance, the various difficulties that have been surmounted, and the imminent dangers that have been asserted, we appeal to your candour and to your justice, for indulgence and approbation. To rescue our civil institutions from violence, and to shield our patriots from disgrace, we engaged in the arduous and painful contest. Guiltless of the wanton waste of private character and feeling, of the daring desolation of social harmony and confidence, which marked the tract of some of the leaders of our opponents, we have endeavoured to investigate measures, without defaming men: and to conquer, by the force of reason and of truth, without declamation or disguise. The result produced by your co-operation, and that of other respectable members of society, not politically or formally associated with you, presents a constitution inviolate, a legislature enlightened, an executive patriotic, and a judiciary independent. It also, impressively exhibits the practical energy of the representative system of government: and while, above all, it displays the virtue, intelligence, and power of the people, it inculcates the lessons of diffidence and moderation, to parties, and to party men, in situations the most triumphant, amidst prospects the most flattering.
Long, fellow-citizens, long may you continue to enjoy the blessings, which you have thus achieved. But, in the moment of its dissolution, the society feels it a duty to express its solicitude, upon the political consequences of the recent conflict. Although you contemplated no change of principle, or of party; although your views of the federal and state administrations and their measures, were firm and inflexible; you received aid from liberal and enlightened federalists, and encountered a strong opposition from republicans. Fatal, however, will be the effect of this consideration, if, on the one hand, it leads to a dishonourable apostasy, or on the other hand, to an implacable animosity. Examine then with care, we beseech you, the several paths that lie before you; and, without sacrificing the dignified consistency of the republican character, or gratifying an illiberal gust of resentment, preserve in the honourable and salutary course, which you have hitherto pursued.
1st. True, you have received aid from federalists; but was it not gratuitously, as well as meritoriously and beneficially given? It was given without concert, stipulation, or compact, between the party that gave, and the party that received. It was given because both thought, that the issue of the last general election involved a principle, independent of party; And it was given through the medium of a vote for candidates, because the federalists justly regarded this, as the only mode to accomplish the immediate object. The preservation of our constitution was the principle, independent of party, involved in the issue of election; but have we not still to deplore, that the preservation of the constitution has not annihilated the differences of party, with respect to men, to measures, nor even with respect to the practical exposition of the constitution itself? We repeat, with pride and pleasure, that many worthy and influential citizens, who formerly ranked with the federalists, have permanently united with us, upon the basis of mutual good will, and an equality of rights, substituting for that vague and invidious title, the expressive and appropriate designation of constitutional republicans. This is indeed, an union of honest men, upon principles which we approve. But there is unhappily a small section of the federal party, bold in maintaining its exclusive pretensions, deprecating the virtues and talents of our statesmen, decrying the measures of our administration, eagerly grasping the ball of political power, and in short, excluding from our option and our wish, every principle of union, which an honourable and independent republican can embrace. The good sense, the exemplary conduct and the controlling influence of the great body of our political opponents, still, however, serve to encourage a hope, that, when the usurpation of a few ambitious men, who now monopolize their councils, and prescribe their measures, shall terminate, the union of honest men will be nobly extended upon every principle that constitutes true patriotism, to every citizen, who merits publick confidence.
2d. True you have encountered opposition from republicans: but was it not an opposition excited by the art of a small, though active, combination of insidious characters, operating upon the credulity, nay upon the virtue, of a host of undesigning citizens? Strike from the catalogue of your opponents, the names which formed that combination, and of the forty thousand freemen, who constituted the late minority, there are few (perhaps, none) whom you would not cheerfully recognize as political friends—few, whom you are not ready to support of "the principles that led Washington, to the field, and placed Jefferson in the cabinet." The deception that has been practised on the minority, is already detected; and its authors overwhelmed with confusion and dismay. Our republican stock is therefore, still sound and vigorous. We may wish its excesses cut off, or its luxuriance pruned; but we can never consent to place an axe in the hand that levels a blow at its root.
Fellow citizens! The honourable and salutary path which you have hitherto pursued, will lead you far from every political danger that threatens. You will support your constitution and laws. You will assert the republican interpretation of our social compact. You will honour the venerable patriots of the revolution, and the chosen rulers of the land. You will be cautious to encroach upon no man's right of character, of property, or of peace; and you will firmly resist every encroachment upon your own. With these principles, dispositions and pursuits (in which the members of this society will always zealously concur) you will insure the happiness of a
grateful country, and merit the blessing of a beneficent Providence.

TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIME, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 13, 1805.
PENNSYLVANIA POLITICKS.
The following judicious remarks, contained in an extract of a letter from a gentleman, to his friend in this place, are worthy the attention of the reader.
"Your opinion upon the subject of Pennsylvania politics, I consider correct. Had I been a citizen of that state, I should certainly have concurred with Mr. Lewis in his ideas on the occasion; not with the views of amalgamation, or in any title of departing from the correct principles of federal republicanism—but for the purpose of rescuing the institutions, which had been founded on those principles, from a set of infuriated men, who without sufficient discernment of the dangers into which they were about to be betrayed, had too blindly resigned themselves into the hands and guidance of some of the most abandoned characters that disgrace our country."
"My sensations however of the exceeding impropriety of the past conduct of some of the leading Constitutionalists (as they are now called) of that state are not altogether abated—such men are not I fear converted to truth. They knew as well before, as now, what was right, what was conducive to civil order, liberty, peace and happiness. With this knowledge, they gave their countenance and support to those, whose designs they are now feign to represent, tend to discord, anarchy and confusion, for the purpose of producing so much of that distrust, which precedes such a state of things, as might enable them to mount to power, and secure that power to themselves and their partisans. From such men we cannot calculate with certainty, upon real and sincere conversion; from many of their followers we may hope better things—nor is a little attained, whatever may be the motive, when by their aid, the mischief they set in motion has been stayed."
The truth of most of the preceding remarks are too evident to require any comment—but we were more struck by the strength of the concluding one. It is certainly matter of great satisfaction to those who advocate sound principles of republicanism, in opposition to the wild theories of democracy, to perceive and to know, that those who have advocated such destructive doctrines, have abandoned them, if not with real, with apparent horror and disgust. It is impossible that the great proportion of those who have advocated M c Kean, can be brought back to a state from which they have just quitted—even supposing M c Kean and the leading men of his party to be thus disposed. It will be too cruel an insult upon the majority of the constitutionalists, to suppose that it was personal attachment to Mr. M c Kean, that influenced them. We do believe that the great body of the people are honest, when they are informed. The excellence of true republican principles have been demonstrated to the people of Pennsylvania, mischiefs which would flow from the anarchical principles of the democratic party are understood, and being understood, there is no danger from the evils which they were calculated to produce.

PETER JOHNSTON, Esq. is chosen Speaker of the House of Delegates of this State, vice HUGH HOLMES, Esq. elected a Judge of the General Court.
Yesterday the very interesting and important cause between the Commonwealth and Joseph Dennie, Esq. editor of the Port Folio, was decided by an honest and independent jury, in favour of Mr. Dennie and the liberty of the press. It may be recollected, that Mr. Dennie was indicted in the Mayor's Court of this city of July sessions in 1803, by thirteen grand jurors, for the publication of a supposed libel on the constitutions of the U. States, and of this state, &c. &c. The indictment was removed to the Supreme Court and tried before Judges Yates and Smith, at a court of Nisi Prius at the Supreme Court, which began its sitting last week. M c Kean, attorney-general for the prosecution, and Messrs. Meridith, Hopkinson, Ingersoll and Lewis for the defendant.
We hope to obtain a report of this trial; and when a similar prosecution which is now depending against the editor of this paper for the same publication is decided, we promise to give some explanations and notes by way of commentary on this business.

Jamaica Trade.—We have been favoured (says the Boston Palladium) with a proclamation of the governor of Jamaica, dated on the 17th day of October, for extending to the 30th of June, 1806, the permission given for the importation in neutral vessels, of sheep, hogs, poultry, small live stock of all kinds, fruit, and all sorts of fish, flour, corn, corn-meal, and bread, rice, peas, beans, and lumber of every description, and the exportation of rum and molasses.—Any persons attempting to introduce other articles than those enumerated will have their vessels seized.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 6.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Madeira to the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser, dated September 24/h.
"The English frigate Leda anchored here yesterday, having left the East India convoy of 60 sail five days since on their way to this place, where they are to stop to procure wine and water. This fleet has ten thousand troops on board, with a great proportion of officers, on some secret expedition. The Raisable, a 54 gun ship, now here, having received orders to join them for the Cape of Good Hope, it is supposed by some that the object of this expedition is that place. The ship Thomas Gordon has just
dropped anchor; but owing to the death of a Portuguese passenger on board, no communication from shore is yet allowed, but I presume there will be in a few hours. The vessels now in the road of Funchal are seips Numa, Waterman, of New-York, discharging; Thomas Gordon, do. just arrived; Briggs Union, Selby, and Saunders, Singleton, both from Philadelphia, discharging; Minerva, Richards, of New-York, sold; Hathaway, of New-Bedford, bound to St. Michaels, London, and Russia; Sch t Federal Republican, of Boston, and an English West India fleet of 55 sail under convoy of the Dorchester of 44 guns, Dart sloop of war, and a 50 gun ship. The East India convoy of sixty sail is hourly expected."
The ship Bee, capt. Fletcher, has arrived at New-Burypport from Amsterdam. Some Mercantile letters by her are as late as the 14th October, but no political intelligence has reached us.
Extract of a letter from Havana, dated October 22, 1805.
"Since our last advices, this market has undergone no material change, except that the late interdiction of the neutral commerce by the British has caused a temporary depression—our produce is consequently at a stand, and the season is now so far advanced, we do not think the prices will look up again."
"Provisions, excepting flour, continue in steady demand; the quantities which have been imported of beef, pork, fish, lard, and (blue marbled) castile soap, are not equal to the consumption, which is very great of these articles."
"It is currently reported, that the importation into this port, in neutral vessels, of every description of cotton goods, will be prohibited after a stated period, when they will be subject to seizure, although they should be reported and manifested on arrival. We shall more particularly inform ourselves on this point, and give early advice for the benefit and government of our friends."
"We consider our communication under date of the 1st of June, respecting the indulgence offered to neutrals introducing into this port Spanish products and manufactures, perfectly correct; but since then, that article of the decree has been differently construed, and we are now told that such property must bring proof being bona-fide Spanish, to be entitled to the privilege then promised. Please to have that clause of the decree in question, translated and published, that we may stand justified to our correspondents for the communication."
PHILADELPHIA, December 9. TRANSLATIONS.
Letter of the Emperor and King to the Prefect and Mayor of the city of Paris.
Gentlemen, the Perfect and Mayor of our good city of Paris. Our troops have had an engagement with the Austrians near Wertenigen, defeated twelve battalions of grenadiers—all their artillery is taken, also a great number of prisoners, and eight standards. We have resolved to make a present of the colours to our good city of Paris, and two pieces of cannon to be placed at the Hotel de Ville. We desire, that our good city of Paris will recognize in this affair our affection for her, which will be so much the more dear to her, as it was her governor who commanded our troops in the engagement of Wertenigen. This letter having no other object, we pray God to have you in holy keeping.
At the imperial head quarters at Augsburg, 18 Vendemaire (10th Oct.) 1805.
(Signed) NAPOLEON. An official bulletin of the grand army, dated at Augsburg the 11th of Oct. states, that the battle of Wertenigen, was followed within twenty-four hours by the battle of Gunersburg. The marshal Ney advanced a column of his army; the division of Loisan upon Langenau, and that of Malhar upon Gunersburg. The enemy opposed this movement and was totally overthrown. It was in vain that prince Ferdinand hastened in person to the defence of Gunersburg. General Malher attacked the place with the 59th regiment. The battle became extremely obstinate. Col. Lacuse was killed at the head of his regiment, and in spite of the most vigorous resistance they carried the bridge at the point of the bayonet, seized the cannon which defended it, and the excellent position of Gunersburg remains in our possession. The enemy, after having made three unsuccessful efforts to recover the place, retired.
The details of the engagement cannot be given for some days.
The enemy lost more than 2,500 men in this engagement. We have made 1,200 prisoners, and taken 6 pieces of cannon. We have lost 400 men in killed and wounded. The major general d'Aspre is among the prisoners.
The French army have entered Ulm.
LANCASTER, Dec. 6. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, his Excellency the Governor met the Legislature in the chamber of the House of Representatives, and delivered the following
ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. It gives me particular pleasure, at this time, to address a General Assembly, convened under the immediate influence of the publick sentiment, and acting with enlightened minds and patriotic dispositions in the service of our country. The completion of some of the essential arrangements of our civil polity; the application of a practical system of legislation; to the purposes of a republican government; a vigilance, without jealousy, which will merit and preserve the confidence of the people; and a benevolence (soaring above pride and prejudice) which cannot fail to allay the feuds, and to conciliate the differences of party;—will, I am confident, honourably distinguish the transactions of the present session.
In discharging the duties assigned to the Executive Magistrate, I find little to communicate for your information, or to recommend for your interposition, that has not, upon former occasions, been submitted to the consideration of the Legislature. The national prosperity continues to be the aim and effect of the wise and virtuous labours of the federal administration; while the immediate prosperity of Pennsylvania conspicuously displays the industry, morality and publick spirit of her citizens. In relation to the Union, however, we see with regret, that the aggressions of foreign nations, ruinous to our commerce, and insulting to our independence, may, eventually, compel the federal government to sacrifice its laudable love of peace to an honourable assertion of its rights and dignity. The happiness of Pennsylvania, too, has not been without alloy. A recurrence of the malignant fever in Philadelphia (notwithstanding the judicious and exemplary conduct of the members of the Board of Health, whose personal hazards are great, though their pecuniary compensation is small) has been attended with considerable mortality, expense and embarrassment; while the agitations of political parties seemed for a while, to annihilate that feeling of mutual respect and esteem, to extinguish that sense of common interest and danger, which constitute the only durable cement to society.
There has not appeared to me, fellow-citizens, a period in my administration more auspicious to press upon your attention the great points of republican
policy. I mean the institutions of publick education, of publick justice, and publick force.
Our government is a republick, in which the people constantly act, through the medium of the representative principle.—Such a government must be a type of the people themselves, and will be good or bad, just as they are, or are not, virtuous and intelligent. To inculcate virtue and promote knowledge among the people, is, therefore, the natural, the necessary course for invigorating and perpetuating a republican government. The framers of the constitution of Pennsylvania (an instrument that does honour to the human intellect) aware of the principle, which is essential to effectuate their great work, emphatically declared, "that the legislature shall, as soon as conveniently may be, provided by law, for the establishment of schools throughout the state, in such manner that the poor may be taught gratis." Let me then claim an early attention for the important subject. It remains with you, by making an adequate provision, for men of science in publick seminaries, to introduce a general system of education, that shall infuse into the mind of every citizen, a knowledge of his rights and duties; that shall excite the usual ambition of excelling in stations, of publick trust; and that shall guard the representative principle from the abuses of intrigue and imposture.
The next great point in a republican government is, the establishment of a pure, able, and efficient administration of justice. The organization of the judicial power of Pennsylvania has been long and fairly condemned. But there is not a defect suggested from any quarter, which the legislature is not competent to remedy. The authority of the judges may be restricted and enlarged. The law which they dispense, whether statute law, or common law, may be annulled or modified. The delay of justice may be obviated by increasing the number of judges, in proportion to the obvious increase of judicial business, or by instituting local tribunals where local causes demand a more constant exercise of jurisdiction.—With this view of the subject, and anxious to destroy pretence for an attack upon our constitution, I pray you gentlemen, to engage head and heart, in every necessary, in every salutary reform.
To the efficiency of the public forces, freemen, who will allow none but freemen to compose it, are bound in duty and interest, to attend. The militia of Pennsylvania is numerous and respectable. Its numbers will augment with the general population—but its respectability has hitherto, in a great degree, depended upon individual exertions in discipline and expence. The militia should be the immediate care of the government; and the rules and principles by which it acts, should be universal. If these suggestions should be laid to a consideration of the laws, respecting the militia, I am persuaded many other improvements will occur to yourselves, that will be highly beneficial to the state. It may be proper to add here, that the authority given by a late act, to appoint a Quarter Master General remains unexecuted; because neither the duties of the station, nor its emoluments were assigned; and consequently, no person has applied for, or can reasonably be expected to accept the office.
Besides the primary objects for legislative consideration, to which I have adverted, there are others, that merit attention, so far as it can be given, consistently with more important claims, and with regard to the public economy. I will trouble you with a recapitulation of some, referring to the legislative records for the rest.
Those acts (particularly such as concern the administration of justice) which involve a constitutional question, ought, perhaps, to be attentively revised; but, independent of a constitutional difficulty, it is expedient that the frame and operation of the law respecting jurors, of the law for the payment of costs on public prosecutions, and of the law directing the sale of unoccupied lands for taxes, should be examined and modified.
The penal laws are susceptible of some amendments. In those offences, differing often in the degree of atrocity, but to which the law affixes, invariably, the same fine or penalty, something, not exceeding a certain amount, should be left to the discretion of the court, for the purpose of discrimination. The removal of convicts, under a sentence of imprisonment for a year, from the remotest parts of the state, to Philadelphia, is attended with an expence, which cannot be compensated by any consideration that originally produced the regulation.
Bills for erecting election districts, bills for incorporating societies of different denominations, bills for regulating ferries, fisheries and mill-dams, and bills for the accommodation of private parties, have absorbed much of the Legislature, and of the treasure of the state. I submit to your judgment, whether the business of election districts might not, upon proper terms, be referred to the judges of the common pleas, and commissioners of the respective counties; and whether every bill of a private nature should not be prepared and prosecuted at the expence of the party.
Enquiring into the execution of the existing laws, you will find with satisfaction, that the commissioners employed in settling the business of the seventeen townships of the county of Luzerne, have performed their trust, with impartiality and decision: while the various incorporated companies, for the improvement of roads, rivers and bridges, in the different parts of the state, exhibit works of expense, utility, and duration, which, considered as the effect of private wealth, in promoting public good, would do honour to any age and country. On the improvement of the navigation of the Ohio, (an object highly interesting to our western counties) I have addressed the Governors of the several states, connected with the waters of that river. Copies of the separate resolutions of the Senate and House of Representatives, proposing amendments in the judicial article of the Federal Constitution, were regularly communicated to each of our sister states. How far these resolutions are constitutionally valid, as they were not joint resolutions of both branches of the Legislature, nor were presented to the Governor for his approbation, may hereafter occasion a doubt, but could not prevent my paying respect to what appeared in any shape as a legislative wish.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. The officers of the proper department will lay before you a statement of the publick accounts, and of the revenues and demands for the ensuing year. For the ordinary establishment of the government, I believe the revenues will be equal to the demands; but you will, no doubt, justly estimate the policy of creating an additional fund, for the purposes of publick education, and of the militia.
Gentlemen of the Senate and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
It will not be thought an improper call upon your patriotism, when I say, that the eye of the union, as well as of Pennsylvania, is anxiously fixed on the course of your deliberations and conduct. The general hope and expectation rest upon the assurance, that you are not only resolute to maintain your constitution, but to defend the principles of the revolution, and to uphold the standard of republicanism. For my own part, I promise a cheerful co-operation in all your public measures, upon a constitutional and republican basis; and be assured, Gentlemen, that I shall be solicitous on every occasion to promote your private happiness, upon principles of mutual respect, esteem, and confidence.
THO: M c KEAN. Lancaster, Dec. 15th, 1805.
NINTH CONGRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES. PROCEEDINGS
OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC LEDGER.
THURSDAY, December 5, 1805.
Mr. J. C. Smith stated, that the committee of claims, were unwilling to decide upon such claims against the United States, as might be barred by the statute of limitations.
He therefore moved "that a committee be appointed, to enquire whether any, and if any, what claims against the United States, are barred by the statute of limitations, which in reason and justice ought to be provided for by law." Agreed to.
The speaker asked what number should compose the committee—to which Mr. Smith replied, that 17 had before been the number, under an idea of having one member from each state. The same number was therefore appointed, and the resolution passed.
Resolved, "that the door keeper of this house, be allowed the same sum per day as heretofore has been allowed for the purpose of employing men and horses, to enable him to execute the duties of his office." (this is seven dollars per day.)
Resolved, "that a committee be appointed, to enquire whether any, and what alterations shall be made in the act providing compensation to the officers of the senate and house of representatives."
Mr. J. Lewis, jun. observed, that in the first session of the last congress, sundry petitions for a bridge to be erected across the Potomac, were presented to this house, and not acted upon—he therefore moved, "that such petitions with the documents accompanying them, be referred to a select committee."
Agreed to be referred to a committee of five. Message from the senate, stating that they had appointed the Rev. Mr. Gant, their chaplain.
Several petitions were presented, and then the house adjourned.
FRIDAY, December 6.
A resolution passed, that the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of altering the act to regulate the duties on tonnage, and to grant relief against bonds for certain duties, where no fraud may appear.
Mr. Crowninshield stated, that the importation of various articles, bore hard upon the mercantile part of the community. He mentioned spirituous liquors, ale, and porter, as being under several restrictions, and loaf sugar must be imported in a vessel of a certain tonnage. He therefore moved, that the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to regulate the collection of duties on imports and tonnage, so far as respects the importation of malt liquor, distilled spirits, and loaf sugar.
Mr. Smilie feared that if such a resolution passed, it would tend to encourage smuggling.
Mr. Crowninshield replied, that it would be a strange thing for a merchant to attempt to smuggle a cask of spirits. Fine muslins, indeed, or jewellery, or plated ware might be a temptation. As the law now stands he thought it a great hurt to commerce; and he could not say how it in any way could militate against the interest of government, if altered. The question was then put and the resolution passed.
Resolved, on motion of Mr. Varnum, That a committee be appointed to prepare rules and regulations for the better government of the army of the United States, and that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Referred to a committee of 5.
Mr. Dawson brought forward a bill, prohibiting, for a certain time, the exportation of arms and ammunition.
The bill enacts, that all arms and ammunition enumerated therein, which shall be attempted to be exported, shall be seized, and the vessel forfeited, and the captain liable to be indicted and fined. Custom-house officers are charged with the execution of this law.
Read twice, and ordered to be printed, and to be the order of the day for Monday next.
YAZOO CLAIMS.
Mr. Gregg, said he had to mention a subject, which has made more noise, and caused greater variation throughout the United States, than any other for a long time past. He meant what was called the Yazoo Business. It cannot continued Mr. Gregg, be supposed that the claimants will rest satisfied, as the business stands. He thought that the repeal of the law on that subject, was a proper step to be taken. He therefore moved, in effect, that so much of an act, entitled an act, regulating the grant of lands, to the United States south of Tennessee, for quieting any claims, under any act, or pretended act, of the State of Georgia, &c. be repealed.
Resolved and ordered, to be printed.
On Motion of Mr. Varnum.
Resolved, "That the committee of claims, be instructed to enquire, what further measures are necessary, to remunerate the officers and soldiers, who were wounded and disabled, in the revolution war, with Great Britain; and to report by bill or otherwise."
At half past twelve,
A message was delivered from the President, by Mr. Coles his Secretary; upon opening which, Mr. Speaker declared the communication to be confidential; ordered strangers to withdraw, and the doors to be closed.
At half past two, the doors opened and the house adjourned.
INTERESTING FOREIGN NEWS.
From late Greenock papers, received at the Office of the Commercial Advertiser, at New-York.
LONDON, Oct. 12.
Last night Mr. Sewar left town, on his return to the court of Berlin, with the answer of our Government to the important despatch which he brought from thence about a week since; and which was understood to relate to the occupation of Hanover—Our expedition, consisting of the German Legion, and a body of artillery, is destined for Stralsund; but it cannot sail before the end of the next week.
Government, we understand, announced to the Foreign Ministers yesterday, that the Elbe and the Weser are no longer blockaded.
This important event, which opens the communication with Germany and the markets of the North to our merchants, was announced by the following official notice, which was stuck up at Lloyd's:—
"Downing-Street, Oct. 9, 1805. Information having been received of the removal of the French troops from the position which they occupied on the borders of the Elbe and Weser, his majesty has pleased to direct that the blockade of the entrance of these rivers should be discontinued, and that his majesty's ships of war which had been stationed at the mouths of them, for the purpose of blocking the same, should be withdrawn."
(Signed) "MULGRAVE." Sun Office, 3 o'clock, P. M.
The Hamburg mails of the 1st and 4th inst. are just arrived.
The junction of the Bavarian troops with the French appears to be confirmed, and is stated that

Bavaria will be put under a provisional Austrian government.
A letter from Berlin, under date of October 1st, mentions the intended positions and commanders of the different Prussian armies, and adds, that a Circular Note to his Prussian Majesty's envoys, relative to those arrangements, has been published, in which it is declared that they have no other object than that of maintaining a perfect neutrality, against any power that might attempt its infraction.
Parliament is farther prorogued till the 28th November.
Lieutenant Colonel Layard, of the 54th regiment, is arrived from Naples, charged with important despatches to Government. He came from Lisbon, and the packet on its arrival at Falmouth, being put under quarantine, orders were given for its release that he might come to town. It is supposed that he brings the agreement upon which the King of Naples consents to the admission of a body of English and Russian troops to occupy both Naples and Messina as a protection against the common enemy. Ministers also received letters from Sir James Craig, at Malta, dated the 17th ult. but it is believed not of so late a date as those which they received by the last Hamburg Mail, which stated that the troops were ready to embark for Naples.
The following is an extract of a private letter, dated Malta, Aug. 16, 1805. "We are all here in the greatest anxiety, having just received the most peremptory orders to hold ourselves in readiness for embarkation, without knowing where or whither we are going, on which the most rigid secrecy is preserved. The General has desired all the officers to provide tents, there being none here in store for them. All we can learn is, that we are going to a country very mountainous, very woody, and where we may prepare ourselves to meet the enemy in a few hours after our landing. We are in high health and spirits, and never in better order for the pastime which awaits us. Our commissary has also received orders to prepare himself to accompany us."
OCTOBER 15.
General Don, and 8000 Hanoverians have embarked in the Downs. They will, no doubt, be hailed, with unfeigned expressions of joy, by their lately oppressed countrymen, on their arrival in Hanover.
The continuance of the blockade of the Elbe, and the Weasel, in consequence of the evacuation of Hanover by the enemy, has been announced, in an official notice, by Lord Mulgrave.
OCTOBER 21.
Saturday a considerable number of newspapers were received at the Post-Office from Holland, dated on Wednesday last, but they do not bring any late or interesting intelligence from the theatre of War. There are accounts from Strasburg of the 8th, which state that the advanced guards of Bernadotte's army had arrived at Wemding, a post from Donauwerth and that a corps from the army of Marshal Ney had occupied Dillingen, on the Neckar, between Donauwerth and Ulm, a body of Austrians which had been stationed there having retired to Augsburg. The piquets of Prince Murat's army had entered Westerstetten, within five or six miles from Ulm.
PARIS, Oct. 2.
The General of division Miollis has been appointed Governor of Mantua; when he was presented to his Majesty he took an oath not to deliver up that fortress while he retained the means of defending it a single instant.
BERLIN, Sept. 25.
Important circumstances have happened within these few days. A courier from Wilna, brought to our court a letter, in which the emperor Alexander announces that three Russian armies are on their march, and will traverse Prussia. This arrogance, this violation of the independence of the Prussian territories, has irritated the King and council to such a degree, that they have unanimously decided to repeal force by force.
At the breaking up of the council, 15,000,000 crowns were drawn from the royal treasury, and couriers sent to every quarter to recall all furloughs, and put in motion the whole of the Prussian forces.
This act of firmness will probably make the court of St. Petersburg retire within itself. It will endeavour to cope a power whom it hates, and whom it vainly endeavours to intimidate. It will, however, gather nothing from its menaces but that disconcertion which always accompanies the ill success of an oppressive and presumptuous measure. It will not fail to be observed, that all the relations of the emperor of Russia, and all those to whom he ought to be attached by the ties of policy, make common cause with France. For whom does he fight? It is not for the cause of his brother-in-law, his uncle, or his nephew; but he submits himself to the suggestions of Marcow, and the wishes of England. What does he hope for? Is it to give laws to France? He must have more calls of two men out of 500 before he can effect that. This prince, able to act so admirable a part, throws himself upon the army of England, approves all that she does, and sees nothing but with her eyes. He will shed much blood without succeeding in any of his projects, and finish by being humbled by English arrogance as he was at the commencement of his reign.
STRASBURGH, Sept. 29.
We have prepared grand fetes to testify to our emperor the joy with which he has inspired us. At the moment when we thought he had scarcely quitted Paris, he was on the glacis of our city.
We learnt, at the same time, that several corps of the army, whose arrival on several parts of the lower Rhine had only been announced by vague and uncertain reports, were already on the German territories, several days march beyond the river.
Such movements of artillery and horses were never before seen. Twenty-thousand carriages, which were put in requisition, were immediately provided; the country people furnished them with the greatest cheerfulness. The joy which animates the soldiers has gained the hearts of all the inhabitants of our departments. Every thing foretells that this coalition, like the two former, will turn to the disgrace of our enemies.
The following is the proclamation of the emperor to the army:
SOLDIERS;
"The war of the third coalition has begun. The Austrian army has passed the Inn, violated treaties, and has attacked and driven our ally from his capital. You yourselves have been compelled to advance by forced marches to the defence of our frontiers. Already you have passed the Rhine. We will not stop till we have secured the independence of the German body, assisted our allies, and confounded the pride of unjust aggressors. We will not make peace without a sufficient guarantee. Our policy shall no more give way to our generosity."
"Soldiers, your emperor is in the midst of you; you are only the advanced guard of a great people. If it should be necessary, they will all rise at my voice to confound and dissolve this new league, which has been formed by the hatred and the gold of England. But, soldiers, we shall have forced marches to make, fatigues and privations of every kind to endure. Whatever obstacles may be opposed to us we will overcome them, and we will take no rest until we have planted our eagles on the territory of our allies."

"NAPOLEON."
"By order of his majesty, the major-general of the grand army."
"BERTHIER."
Several detachments of the Imperial Guards arrived here yesterday.
The Prince Borghese is at their head.
The head quarters of General Murat is still at Korch.
PADUA, Sept. 21.
The Arcduke Charles arrived here yesterday at his head-quarters, and this day he circulated the following address among his army:
"On my arrival, no business presses more upon me than to inform the army that I am again at its head, and have taken the command upon me. I hope, from the recollection of former occurrences, so glorious for his Majesty's arms, that if war should be inevitable, contrary to his Majesty's sincere desire, I shall find in the army that ancient spirit of confidence and perseverance, that unshaken steadiness in danger, that obedient bravery, and (I cannot mention it without being sensibly affected) that attachment to my person, and confidence in me, by which the most memorable days of my life have been distinguished, and which have led to actions for the welfare of the Monarchy that can never be forgotten. I doubt not but the army will remember, at every period of my life, the care and attachment with which I shared its fate, both in prosperity and adversity."
"Above all things I recommend the commanders of large or small bodies, to instil into the troops the true military virtues; a strict discipline, patience, obedience, and continence. The spirit of discontent, obstinacy, stubbornness, drinking, and gambling, as well as every species of vice which undermine men's morals, must be extirpated in the army; and I shall seriously hold the Commanders responsible for the observance of this exhortation."
"That the business at head-quarters may be managed according to a settled plan, I have divided the whole administration into four parts each of which is to have its separate functions."
The farther regulations on this subject are amply detailed in a printed ordinance.
FROM THE BATAVIAN STATE GAZETTE.
RATISBON, Sept. 25.
On the 23d instant the French charge d'Affaires, Bacher, transmitted to the Directorial Minister, for communication to the Diet the following Note.
"The present circumstances make it the duty of his Majesty the Emperor of the French to concentrate his army, in order to provide for the protection of his frontiers, which are so violently menaced."
"His Majesty, has, therefore, been obliged to recall the greatest part of his army which he had in the territory of Hanover, and those troops being in the heart of Germany, could not do otherwise than pass through a part of the Empire to get to the place of their destination."
"But although the motives and the intention of their passage are most clearly pointed out by the present state of affairs, which is known to the whole world, and it is consequently impossible to misconceive them; nevertheless, in order to preclude any observations which malignity might suggest to misinterpret them, his Majesty has charged the undersigned to give to the Germanic Diet those explanations which are contained in this present Note."

HAGUE, October 7.
The following letter, addressed by the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, from Strasburg, the 29th of Sept. last, to his excellency the Pensionary, confirms not only the measures of our security already taken by his Majesty in the events of the enemy's landing upon our coast, but shews, at the same time, how well his Majesty appreciates the character of the Batavian nation:
"My very Dear and great Friend! "I have been obliged to withdraw my army from Holland, to make head against an impious coalition which the gold and the intrigues of England have formed against me and my allies. I have commanded in my empire the formation of national guards for the defence of my frontiers. You will be aware that in the present circumstances, the friends of their country must take up arms to repel those bands, eager for pillage, whom England would throw into their shores. However, let not the inhabitants of Holland be alarmed. My armies of reserve, of Boulogne and Mentz, are more than sufficient to succour the troops which defend their coasts, and to prevent any army who violate the Batavian territory from re-embarking. In the present circumstances, my very dear and great friend, I depend upon your zeal and patriotism. The cares of war do not so entirely absorb my attention, that I shall not constantly watch for the concerns of the Batavian country. An army might indeed land, but be assured that it would not re-embark. However, I call upon the courage and patriotism of the Batavians to confound the hatred of the tyrants of the sea, and to secure that part of the continent from the invasion of the pirates."
"Herewith I pray God to take you, my very dear and great friend, under his holy protection."
NAPOLEON."
Strasburg, 7 Vendemaire, Year 14, (29th Sept.)
FRANKFORT, October 2.
We hear that entrenchments are throwing up, from stage to stage, behind the Iller, from Kempten to Ulm, at which no less than 12,000 Suabian and Bavarian peasants are labouring. The works of Ulm and Memmengen are undergoing considerable improvements.
WURTSBURGH, October 1.
On the 28th ult. Marshal Bernadotte departed from hence. The march of the French proceeds without cessation; the head quarters were yesterday at Ellbernach, three hours from Amberg. The Marshal was received here in the most distinguished manner by the Electoral Family. Before his departure General Marmont arrived here. Electoral commissaries are posted on all the roads to provide necessaries for the army. This citadel has also been provisioned. An exchange of couriers has constantly taken place between this city and Berlin. It appears that the journey of our Elector to Amberg had positively a military object, and there is reason to conjecture, that our army will shortly break up in the Upper Palatinate for Franconia, and that in case of war, the Elector will command it in person.
ULM, September 30.
We hear that the displeasure of the House of Austria against the Elector of Bavaria, took its rise in consequence of the intercepted correspondence which has been purloined by a Prussian fugitive from the cabinet of Marquis Lucchesini. Papers have been found in it which give to understand a close connection between France and Bavaria. It is certain that these papers have got into the hands of the Austrians—for while the fugitive was pursued in Frankfort by the French ambassador, he found means to secret himself in the imperial house of rendezvous, from which he was brought out as a recruit, and conducted out of Frankfort.
STRASBURGH, October 1.
The whole of the army has passed the Rhine. Yesterday the remaining detachments of the imperial guard took their departure. Marshal Berthier and his staff set out to-night. The Emperor himself took his departure at eleven this morning.
VIENNA, Sept. 21.
The French Ambassador, M. de La Rochefoucault, is still here, and this day a courier was sent off to the Emperor, who is with the army, with the result of the conferences between the said Ambassador, the Prussian Envoy, and the vice-chancellor of state Count Cobenzel. Fresh proposals for peace have been made, but there is not the least hope that they will succeed.
September 25.
A Secretary of Embassy, lately arrived here as Courier from Paris with despatches for the French ambassador. Several battalions of troops and squadrons of cavalry have arrived here from Transylvania, in order to replace those regiments which have proceeded for the army.
At present there are a great many Russian officers here belonging to the first division of Russian troops which are marching through Moravia. Their business here are to receive ammunition and other necessaries for those troops.
The Bavarian General Von Nogerolla, continues in this metropolis. The object of his mission does not as yet seem to be accomplished.
FROM THE MAINE Oct. 1.
According to general report, the greatest part of the Saxon army is to be put on the war establishment.
The emperor has left Munich, on his return to Vienna. All the troops which were in the first mentioned city, except 300 men, have marched from thence. A large column of Austrian troops were to-day to pass the Danube near Donauwerth and Newburgh. On the 27th of September the head-quarters of general Klenau were at Waldsee.
All the roads in Tyrol, leading from Saubia and Bavaria, are defended by entrenchments, and occupied by troops. The redoubts near Rentis, which the French destroyed last war, are restored—The entrenchments, at the defiles near Ehrenbers, have also been repaired.
The Austrian piquet, on the 27th, at Pfortsheim, consisted of some hundreds of Huhlands and dragoons.—The French entered that place during the night of the 27th and 28th.
FROM THE NETHER ELBE, Oct. 1.
The French have evacuated Lünenburg, Harburg, and Stade, and have retired to the interior. About 2000 men, it is said, remain in Hanover.—There is a talk of augmenting the works of the citadel of Hameln.
LISBON, Sept. 20.
By letters from Cadiz we are informed of a most deadly animosity subsisting between the French and Spaniards, which is carried to lengths too shocking for the reflection of human nature; a night does not pass without the commission of some horrid outrage which always terminates in the spilling of blood.—The origin of these misunderstandings is kept profoundly secret, but is said to be between the French admiral Villeneuve and Gravina. The latter has proffered his resignation, which the Spanish government has refused to accept; yet no means are taken to soften the existing quarrel, or put an end to the nightly broils which take place between the French and Spanish sailors, which has of late been extended to the inhabitants of the town, who are now engaged in the dispute, under a plea that the provisions for the town are kept for the support of the French Navy, and that they in consequence will be starved.
In Madrid the disorder wear a still more dreadful appearance; the inhabitants are in arms, to whom the Swiss Guards have been opposed and defeated; upwards of 600 persons have been killed and wounded in this conflict; the cause is attempted to be kept profoundly secret; but it has been arisen from an Edict lately passed under the sanction of the Prince of Peace, commanding all persons to receive in full payment, in lieu of money, the denaro vales , a paper currency, which in the last war, was at a discount of 50 per cent.—This currency is the most unpopular in the kingdom of Spain, is always at a discount; and the people refuse to concur in the terms of the Edict, which is the cause of a dispute which has at length occasioned this insurrection.
In consequence of this news, all intercourse by way of exchange between Lisbon and Madrid is at a stand; and all business between the two places ceases for the present.
It is very currently reported here, that Buonaparte has made another demand on the government of this country, which, it is feared, must be complied with, rather than endanger the terms of our present neutrality. Eight millions of crusados is said to be the extent of his demand, which in sterling money is 800,000l.
Whether this will ultimately turn out true or false, I have the mortification to inform you, that our billetes (the paper money of Portugal) are at this time at a discount of 20 per cent: which extraordinary depression is occasioned by the above report; for although the billetes are generally at a discount, it has not of late been greater than 10 per cent.

For SALE or RENT, For One or more Years, that VALUABLE LITTLE FARM WETWOOD, About one Mile from the Borough,
Containing about 97 acres of choice Land, the soil produces Clover, &c. of superior quality to any in this part of the country. There are two good Dwelling Houses, Kitchen, a large Barn, and sundry other Houses; a large Apple Orchard, with a number of excellent Cherry and other Fruit Trees. The Garden, with a little attention, would be very profitable. This Farm is well worth the attention of many, as a pleasant retreat in the summer, and the great advantages arising from the ready sale of the productions of an industrious farmer, from such a promising soil.
ALSO,
Will be Rented, for One or more Years,
That large and commodious Wharf, belonging to the estate of John Hutchings, deceased, with a commodious Ware-House. The situation of this Wharf is well worth the attention of any Gentleman concerned in navigation, particularly in the West-India trade, as there are considerable vacant lands very suitable for Lumber Yards, &c. The great convenience of this Wharf is, that three ships may ly and load at the front, one at the end, and a small vessel within the wharf. It is also a commodious place for any Gentleman in the line of repairing vessels. There is also a small Wharf, about 60 feet to the westward of this, adjoining two hulks, which might be profitable to any Gentleman in the Lumber Line. If this property is not sold or rented by the 1st of January, it will then be rented on the premises, at 11 o'clock. For terms apply to
Capt. WM. CAMMACK, or JOHN BROWN,
Administrator of the Estate of John Hutchings, dec'd. Nov. 29. tds 311
