Captain Chace, who arrived in Hampton Roads on Saturday last from Liverpool, on the 12th instant spoke the brig Fame from Rotterdam, bound to Providence, R. I. which she left the 10th September. The captain of the Fame informed captain C. that for some time before he sailed, the strongest expectations of peace were entertained, but that a few days before he sailed, the prospect was entirely changed; accounts from Paris had been received which banished every hope of peace, and nothing but a continuation of the war was calculated upon.
Concarneau, in the Bay La Foret, where Jerome Buonaparte has arrived, is a small port a little to the northward of L'Orient, which from the chart does not appear to be a place for men of war, nor does it appear to be fortified.
LORDS HOLLAND AND AUCKLAND, are appointed on the part of Great Britain to negotiate with Mr. Munroe and Mr. Pinckney, our ministers in London; of Lord Holland we know but little, except that he is Nephew to Mr. Fox, but Lord Auckland is a very distinguished political character, as we learn from DEBRETT'S PEERAGE for 1806, which says:—
"His lordship has been employed in many stations of interest and importance; in 1778, he went to North America, together with the earl of Carlisle, &c. for the purpose of restoring peace; from 1780 to 1782, he was chief secretary in Ireland, in the viceroyalty of the earl of Carlisle, and was sworn of the privy council of that kingdom; and in 1783, he was also sworn of the privy council of England. In December, 1785, he was named envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the court of Versailles, for the purpose of concluding a treaty of commerce between Great Britain and France, which was accomplished, Sept. 26, 1786; on the 15th Jan. 1787, he signed, with the Count de Vergennes, a farther convention; and, on August 31, following, he concluded and signed with the Comte de Montmorin, a convention for preventing all disputes between the subjects of their respective sovereigns in the East Indies. In Oct. and Nov. in the same year, his lordship, in concurrence with the duke of Dorset, negotiated and signed the declarations which were exchanged between the courts of London and Versailles, relative to the revolutions which then took place in the United Provinces. In March, 1788, he went as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the court of Spain; in Nov. 1789, he was appointed ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the states-general of the United Provinces; and, on the 10th Dec. 1790, he concluded and signed the convention between the emperor Leopold, and the kings of Great Britain and Prussia, and the states-general of the United Provinces, relative to the affairs of the Netherlands."
A deputation from the People of Venitian Dalmatia, lately presented the following address to the chaste empress Josephine!
MADAM,
"The people of Dalmatia, penetrated with sentiments of the most profound veneration, have the honour to present to your majesty the very humble homage of their obedience and fidelity."
"Consort of the greatest of monarchs, fortunate mother of a prince; who, by the mildest and most amiable virtues, knits more and more the bands of the Italian family, model of beneficence and virtue, vouchsafe to accept, Madam, the protestations of the most respectful devotion of the Dalmatians."
"Your cherished name will ever be engraved in their hearts, and will likewise be so in those of their children."
BALTIMORE, October 16.
Captain Briggs, in 20 days from Curacoa, reports that he was at Aruba 6 weeks ago, that Miranda was in possession of that island, that he sold part of his cargo to the British vessels under the direction of Miranda; the British ships were as follows; Galleata, of 36 guns; Bachante, of 28; Lily sloop 22; brigs Attentive 18; Express 18; 2 schooners heavily armed, and the Leader of 24, with several schooners as transports, the troops about 600 in number. Captain B. dined with the general, who informed him the reason of his falling out with Lewis (former captain of the Leader) was when the Spanish briggs attacked the Leader; she beat them off with ease, they then bore down on the two schooners which had fallen off to the leeward, and on shore, the general requested Lewis to pursue, but he would not, by which means the schooners were captured—he also informed capt. B. that he was not beat off Coro; he left it for Aruba until the troops (5000 in number) should arrive, expected from Barbados and Jamaica, attended by a 64 gun ship. The general had no doubt of succeeding, and had with him several Spaniards from the Main.—Capt. B. says that he conversed with several of the Spaniards, and their opinion was that they must succeed. Miranda had had frequent communications with the priests and dignified clergy.
WASHINGTON, October 15.
We learn that our differences with Great Britain were, about the middle of August, the date of the latest advices, in a fair train for adjustment. In consequence of the state of Mr. Fox's health, Lord Auckland and Lord Holland had been appointed to conduct the negotiation with Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney. We may, therefore, expect from the appointment of a special commission a prompt attention to our affairs, and from the characters of those who compose it, it is not irrational to indulge the hope of a favourable issue. Lord Auckland, formerly Mr. Eden, is probably well acquainted with the relations between this country and his own, and Lord Holland, in the pamphlet ascribed to him, has
* The London Morning Chronicle denies that Lord Holland wrote the Pamphlet alluded to.—[Ed. Led.]
too clearly expressed his sentiments to admit of a doubt of his friendly disposition. Our readers will recollect that in that pamphlet the right to impress our seamen is unequivocally abandoned, and that, without deciding on the principle of the neutral rights we claim, it is declared to be the policy of Britain, on the ground of expediency, to admit them.
Nat. Int.
WESTERN AFFAIRS.
We extract the following from a Natchez print of the 16th Sept.
"Letters from Natchitoches, under date of the 5th Sept. state that the Spanish army continued encamped at the Bayou Pierre, and was supposed to be 1200 strong. Gov. Cordero from St. Antoine, had arrived at Nacogdoches, with a reinforcement of 300 regular troops."
"Gov. Claiborne was still at Natchitoches, and between him and the officer commanding the Spanish troops, several letters had passed. Gov. Claiborne has ordered a detachment of militia to be in readiness to march.—The troops from Fort Adams had not arrived, but were daily expected. The Spanish governor, Herrera, has arrested three Americans from Kentucky, of the names of Brewster, Shaw and Irvin, and sent them prisoners to St. Antoine. Governor Claiborne has demanded their immediate release. The Spanish army has evinced no disposition to attack Natchitoches—they avow their object to be, to preserve inviolate the territory of the king their master.—It is believed at Natchitoches, that nothing prevents the American troops from marching against the Spaniards but orders to that effect."
"The removal (by order of the President) of a detachment of Spanish troops last winter on the west side the Sabine, is assigned by the Spaniards as the reason for augmenting their force, in what they call the province of the Texas—This province they say, extends to a little Bayou, about 6 miles from Natchitoches, called the Retunda. The settlers of the Bayou Pierre where the Spanish army now is, have considered themselves under the government of Spain."
We understand that the facts given in this statement are substantially correct. There is however probably some exaggeration in the strength of the Spanish troops. The strongest assurances have been received from the Spanish governor that no hostile acts were meditated against the United States & that the operations of the Spanish force would be confined to defending their own territory. As they have retired to Bayou Pierre, a post not delivered to us, and in the retention of which they will not be molested, the prospect of an engagement has gone by.
The circumstances attending the arrest of the three Americans are these. Three such persons were found within the lines of the Spanish forces, and were arrested under the impression that they might be spies. On being examined, one of them said he wished to go to St. Antoine, for which purpose he desired a passport. This was given him, together with an escort. It is presumed the same measure has been taken with respect to the other two. They are not therefore to be viewed in the light of prisoners.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
Since the volumes of MOORE have become the fashionable deposit of every parlour window, I have determined to become a Poet—Nothing can be more easy—When a man may rest the basis of his reputation upon the lashes of a lady's eye lid, and raise there a lofty fabrick; or ride post haste to the pinnacle of Parnassus astraddle her nose; or flap his wings against opposing sighs 'till he rises beyond mortal ken; or float on the billows of fame rising from a flood of tears, why should not I take my chance? These materials are within every body's reach, and it is no great matter to jingle them together. If my attempts are half as well rewarded as Moore's have been, I promise to write as much as he has in much less time—I shall wax warmer too as I proceed, and hope very soon to rival him in delicate bawdry.
TO ROSA—IN BED.
Give me back that kiss my dear love, It no more can do you good; Give it back and do not fear love I would not hurt you if I could. * Humid kisses, eyes that languish, Cheeks that glow with ardent fire; Give my soul incessant anguish, Fill my heart with fond desire. Dearest sweet, I prythee kiss me. Fold your arms about my neck; Should one look of love but miss me, Indeed I swear my heart would break. Ambrosial breath and balmy kisses, Sweetest love 'tis thine to give; To expire amidst such blisses Be mine kind powers whilst I live.† See the morning's rising blushes, Come to rouse us from our rest; Night no longer nature hushes, Come get up—I'm sure 'tis best. But yet another kiss of true love, Yet another ogling peep, dear; † Ten last kisses are my due love, Waking from delerious sleep, dear. § Now farewell! but can I part, love? No—forever here we'll stay, Grown still dearer to my heart, love, Who can blame the fond delay.
NOTES.
* I do not know the quantity of salvia that is necessary to make a true poetical humid kiss. It must depend, I presume, greatly on the taste of the reader. But Moore is my authority for the supremacy of humid kisses over all others.
† An amateur somnecier generally expires three or four times in every song. It follows of course that he must outline all his expirings.
‡ I really admire very much this "peep dear" and sleep dear, but confess I took the hint from my original, who says, in a detectable sonnet:—
"Yet oh! yet again we'll meet love, Oh! sure't then be sweet love." § Moore is as famous for a great many last kisses, as a mountebank for numerous last performances.
Two publications have lately appeared in London, which have attracted the publick attention in no common degree, and both written with great ability. The first called An Inquiry into the state of the
Nation , written by some of the present Administration, and generally supposed to be Mr. Fox; it is termed the Manifesto of the New Administration. The other is called An Answer to an Inquiry &c. written in defence of the late administration. Among other topics that of peace is discussed with great ability; from the latter of the two works we give the following extract, which will be found interesting.
Such inconsistencies, in the work before us are the consequences of viewing this momentous subject only on one side; of making a question of party of that which concerns—most deeply concerns the whole country; of obeying the bias of individual feelings in a matter, where such feelings should have no weight—in a matter, where more than in any other, the most scrupulous investigation of circumstances, the most calm and impartial discussion alone can lead to safe conclusions.
A wiser plan would be to weigh the disposition of our enemy and nature of the peace we may expect; the means which our success may have given us of opposing, by the conditions of a treaty, a barrier to his ambition; the respective advantages of peace or war—not with war contrasted with a secure peace, for in this there can be no question, but with such a peace as the situation and disposition of our enemy are likely to afford us.
Of Buonaparte's disposition there can unfortunately be no doubt. The settled purpose of his soul is to aim at universal empire. He pursues this object with undeviating constancy in peace and in war. He advances to it alternately by force of arms, and by secret intrigues. He maintains in peace an army of half a million of men, that he may pursue a uniform course of encroachment, and reply to the remonstrances of his neighbours, by threats of immediate war. At the peace of Amiens, liberal concessions were made to him in order to afford him every inducement for the maintenance of peace. We asked to retain nothing which might injure the interests or wound the pride of France. With a wise and moderate enemy, this policy would have laid the foundation of permanent tranquillity—with a headstrong tyrant, it was the signal for new aggressions. The interval of peace was to him a time of greater activity, of more extensive aggrandisement than the most vigorous war. He parcels out Germany, he incorporates Piedmont with France, he enslaves Switzerland, he sows the seeds of war in India, he plans another perfidious surrender of Malta, and a second invasion of Egypt. He threatens to exclude England from intervention in the affairs of the continent, and he orders the construction of twenty sail of the line in one year. His own harbours he shuts to our trade, and he commissions spies to survey our's. And in the midst of these aggressions, he represents himself to Europe with unparalleled assurance as injured, because our ministry, awakened at last to his violence, refused to deliver up the key of Egypt and of India.
The first wish of his heart was, that Britain should have joined with France in conquering and oppressing Europe "Two such countries," to use his own words, "by a proper understanding, might govern the world. Had he not felt our enmity on every occasion since the treaty of Amiens," (that is, had we yielded an unqualified obedience to whatever he thought proper to demand) "there would have been nothing that he would not have done to prove his desire to conciliate; participation in indemnities as well as in influence on the continent: treaties of commerce; in short, any thing that could have given satisfaction and have testified his friendship." He once expected that Britain, insatiable of conquest like himself, might have been tempted to join in a base league against the sacred rights of nations; when, after exhausting our strength in subjugation of Europe, he would have bent his utmost efforts to subdue ourselves. Awakened, however, from this delusion, his present scheme is to overthrow Britain, and in her the rest of Europe. He will endeavour to attain this object by a gradual progress, similar to that which led to the completion of his usurpation in France. Violence and fraud combined, effected his appointment to the consulate, at first for a limited period. In the third year of sway, emboldened by a successful career, he procures his nomination for life. In the fifth, he openly lays aside the mask, and assumes the absolute sovereignty of a country which had so lately braved utter ruin and extinction in the cause of liberty. Advanced in France to the plenitude of power, and secure of its duration, his ambition now takes a different range. He will pursue the degradation of Britain with the same combination of artifice and violence, the same unwearied perseverance which has led to his own exaltation. War is an insurmountable obstacle to his progress, and he therefore desires an interval of peace.
It will hardly be argued that the outline I have drawn is unauthorised, or that any project, however extravagant, which can gratify ambition, may not with justice be ascribed to Buonaparte. This un-governable passion hurries him on, not only beyond every restraint of religion or morality, but even against the dictates of policy. Was there ever an act of wilder injustice than to establish a sovereign in Holland, where royalty is proscribed by the concurrent voice of every party? or to introduce two kings into the German empire, a measure calculated to offend equally Prussia and Austria. The same mind which planned these daring innovations will hope to effect our expulsion from India; to wrest from us the sovereignty of the seas; to dismember Ireland from Britain; and even dare to flatter itself with the hope of dictating a humiliating treaty in London. The man who is animated towards us with such rancorous hatred is endowed with talents, to which the history of nations scarcely exhibit a parallel in the lapse of centuries. His invention supplies expedients for every difficulty; his subtlety has deceived successively every enemy; his mind, incessantly active, renounces all relaxation, and occupies itself with perpetual schemes of ambition. He has maintained himself, during seven years, in possession of that absolute power which few of his predecessors enjoyed as many months. He has not only baffled every assault from abroad or conspiracy at home, but he has made them all subservient to his aggrandizement. The half of Europe is subject to his controul, and every force except the British navy, has fled before him.
Such is the power and the disposition the enemy with whom we are about to negotiate. If Mr. Fox flatters himself that any display of confidence, any
surrender of conquests, will induce Buonaparte to adopt a system of moderation and of real peace, he is most egregiously mistaken. The experiment has already been made on a liberal scale, and has failed. It can never be sufficiently urged that peace is desired by him, only as it will furnish more vigorous means of war. He is most anxious to re-establish the trade and manufactures of France, but with what object? Is it to promote the general happiness of his subjects? Are we justified to ascribe such a feeling to him who poisons his sick and assassinate his prisoners? Certainly not. He desires peace in order to recruit his finances and his navy. A soldier in the cabinet as in the field, he appreciates every thing by its utility in war; and, much as he affects to value commerce, we shall see him in the midst of peace continue to keep half a million of his subjects armed and abstracted from the pursuits of industry.
After having considered the disposition of our enemy, let us examine the relative situations of both countries in war and peace. In the present war, the balance of advantages is in every respect in our favour. To France, war with Britain has become an inglorious and a hopeless contest. Her fleets have either been destroyed and captured, or are accounted fortunate if, returning from a fruitless enterprise, they reach their own harbours in safety. There remains only the hazardous attempt of invasion; an attempt, which although much less impracticable than is commonly supposed, and likely to lead in its progress to sharp and serious conflicts, would doubtless end in our triumph, and complete our victorious and preponderating attitude.—To Britain, war against France has been a series of brilliant success. It is in our allies only that we have experienced misfortunes; with the termination of each successive coalition, the aspect of the war has entirely changed. France, irresistible by land, becomes inactive and languid when the operations are confined to sea. England is triumphant on the ocean, and reaps all the glory of the active warfare.
The advantages of a peace to France are incalculable. It will relieve her from a disastrous contest, it will restore her colonies, revive her expiring commerce, recruit her exhausted finances, create innumerable seamen, and re-establish her navy in its former splendour. But which of these benefits will England reap from a termination of the war? Our trade, our finances, and our navy, are flourishing beyond example. Will our security be increased by peace, or our burdens considerably lessened? In former times the advantages of peace were solid and immediate. Fleets & armies were disbanded on both sides, and the burdens of war ceased with the signature of the definitive treaty. At present there can be no important reduction of our war establishment. We must continue armed and bear the burden of war in the midst of peace. I do not under-rate the advantages of peace to us, when I state them to be comprised in
 1. A partial reduction of publick expence:  2. The diminution of insurance, and other war charges on our trade: and,  3. If a satisfactory treaty of commerce be concluded, a more free communication with the continent. 
Whether the consequence of peace will be an extension of our trade and manufactures, is a question of very difficult solution. By the majority of those engaged in them, this question will be answered in the negative. And the expected improvement of our finances by peace, is evidently much overrated.
So deeply are a very numerous part of the nation impressed with these considerations, that they are disposed to adjourn the question of peace altogether, until a more favourable combination of circumstances, when we may lay down our arms in security, and reap, undisturbed, the blessings of tranquillity. I differ from this opinion upon the important ground that our continuance at war will not effect so desirable a change. War will keep us secure, but offers no prospect of producing alteration in the state of France. The obvious deduction however from our present situation is to make no peace, except on terms commensurate with our preponderance in war; terms highly advantageous to us, and conducive to the safety of the continent. Let us endeavour to weigh those terms, and define them with as much accuracy as possible.
Mr. Fox in urging peace a twelvemonth ago declared, that the equitable basis of negotiation would, in his opinion, be those terms with which we, were we in the enemy's situation, would be satisfied.—This argument is specious, and has not, I believe, been answered. Like other opinions, however, of the right honourable secretary, it will not stand the test of investigation. Great Britain, had she even the power of France, would be infinitely less dangerous to the liberty of Europe than that restless state. Morality in this country, among private, and we trust among publick men is by no means at so low an ebb as with the giddy people of France and their perjured Rulers. We do not negotiate with our neighbours to deceive them, or persist in a domineering controul, after declaring their independence by solemn treaties. Had Britain been in the situation of France, treaties so advantageous as those of Luneville and Amiens would never have been violated by the wanton excesses of ambition. Has this ambition been moderated since the period when we were compelled to a rupture? Does Buonaparte's conduct, either before or since the late coalition, justify us in shewing again that confidence which we evinced in the treaty of Amiens, and of which he proved himself unworthy? Intrigue and falsehood have always been the favourite instruments of the French government, but these weapons are wielded at present with an assurance and activity beyond all former example. Buonaparte as far surpasses in bold and systematick fraud his republican predecessors, as they were superior to the old government. Mr. Fox's rule, therefore, of considering that a just basis of peace, which Britain in the situation of France would deem fair, has no application unless the morality of the respective countries underwent a similar interchange with their political circumstances. This proposition, while it is disproved by reason, is falsified by experience, for the treaty of Amiens was a peace on Mr. Fox's principles, in all their latitude, and instead of terminating our differences and disquietudes, it was the prelude to tenfold agitation.
After such experience of restless ambition, after a state of perturbation and anxiety worse than war, the nation will be satisfied with no treaty, which shall not contain the provisions of real tranquillity. Its conditions must be explicit and incontrovertible.

We must not again rely on the professions of our enemy, or even on that moderate system which it is his interest to pursue. We must lay our account with an insatiable spirit of aggrandisement, which will explain in its own favour whatever shall not be clearly defined, and will seize for itself whatever shall not be occupied by us. It is a common practice in capitulations on the continent, that the French impose upon the credulity of those with whom they treat, by inserting a clause that "When ever the conditions of surrender appear doubtful, their interpretation shall be in favour of the inhabitants." The capitulation is signed, and the gates opened to the French, who enter and violate successively, under pretext of necessity , every stipulation they have made!
The obvious result of these remarks is, that Mr. Fox's idea of placing ourselves in the enemy's situation, however plausible, is neither a wise nor just rule of conduct for Britain in the situation of France (as in every other) would disdain to make a treaty which she did not mean to keep. Let the right honourable secretary permit me to suggest to him a different plan. In the overtures to negotiation, let him remember that Buonaparte desires peace at present, for the sake of breaking it more advantageously hereafter; that war is predominant in his thoughts, and aggrandisement by fraud or force, the perpetual object of his solicitude; that ambition instead of being satiated by success preys upon his mind, and "by what it feeds on." In the progress of the treaty, let Mr. Fox be prepared for a display of the most consummate artifice. In 1803, when Buonaparte considered our ministry timid and spiritless, threats were his favourite weapons. He menaced us in his message to the councils; in his communications to Lord Whitworth; in his appeals through Andreossi. But when we had defied his threats, and dared him to the conflict, he adopts a different tone. In his overture for peace in January 1806, he assails our humanity, and affects to extol as of incalculable value, those Indian conquests, which he well knew were barren glories. To Mr. Fox he will represent himself as aggrieved by preceding administrations, as unjustly attacked, and as anxious to make every sacrifice for so inestimable a blessing as peace. In his communications with this country, he will pretend congratulations on the appointment of a ministry, "estimating by their illumination," while at the same hour he instructs his emissaries to seek access at St. Petersburg, and endeavour to detach that court from our alliance, by traducing Mr. Fox as the most fickle of men, as absorbed in interests purely English, and an enemy to the co-operation of Britain and Russia.
If our ministry be actuated by these impressions, as we trust for the sake of Britain and of Europe that they are, they will not offer to Buonaparte those conditions which they would themselves expect, were they in the situation of the enemy. They will not bind our victorious fleets before they obtain stipulations calculated to prevent the further progress of usurpation on the continent; they will not relinquish those means of security for ourselves which we now hold; they will make no allowance for vague assurances of pacific disposition, but they will give to every article of the treaty that explicit and indisputable shape which is indispensable with an enemy devoid of faith and justice.
The evils of war and advantages of peace, as already observed, are so greatly on the side of France, that she should account no sacrifice, except her honour, too great to obtain them. We have conquered from her and from Holland, Pondicherry, St. Lucia, Tobago, Surinam, Demerara, Essequibo, Berbice, and the Cape; we have destroyed her navy, and made prisoners the flower of her seamen. Against all these acquisitions France has to place only Hanover, so unjustly occupied that it is doubtful whether she should be allowed to introduce it into the scale of equivalents. The continuance of the war promises to be equally in our favour. We cause to France incalculable deprivations; while the sum of her injury to us consists in petty depredations on our trade, and in the threat of invasion. Of invasion hardly any one doubts that the issue would be favourable to us; and no minister will alledge the desire of averting it as an argument for peace. France challenged us to the combat by denying that we were able single handed to withstand her. We accepted the defiance—we have fought and conquered.
While the advantages of war are thus entirely on our side, the benefits of peace are nearly in the same degree on the side of the enemy. No wonder that, in such a situation, there should be many who urge a continuance of war until circumstances justify the expectation of greater tranquillity in peace; especially as our finances, which have been represented as our weak side, are, in consequence of the powerful operation of the sinking fund, in a state of extraordinary prosperity—in such a state that, although last year was extremely expensive, the addition to the national debt, after deducting the amount discharged by the sinking fund, was only ten millions; a sum less than one-twentieth of the aggregate, and not equal to the actual yearly diminution of our debt by the progressive depreciation of money.
On the other hand, peace is recommended by humanity; by the prospect of a reduction (partial indeed) of our burdens; and more immediately by the conviction that the continuance of hostilities is not likely to lead to that change of circumstances which will insure our tranquillity. An enlightened and impartial view of our situation will induce this inference: That peace is preferable to war, if peace can be obtained on the terms we have a right to demand.
LONDON, August 23.
Dutch papers to the 18th inst. and the Hamburg Correspondent of the 12th, have also been received, but they differ materially from the pacific statement given in the Moniteur . The French troops, say the accounts from Vienna, are increasing in the neighbourhood of the Inn; and it is intimated, that a number of Austrian regiments were about to advance towards that river. The Dutch papers also are at variance with the Paris Journals respecting the military movements in Germany. The letters from Frankfort, Ratisbon, and other places, mention, that the French armies were advancing from all points towards the Austrian frontier. The prospect of an accommodation is not spoken of in that satisfactory and decisive manner that it is in the Official Paper. Not the least allusion, it will be observed, is made in the Vienna intelligence, either to the League of the Rhine, or to the acknowledgment of it by the emperor of Austria.
The news from the South of Italy is likewise interesting. The report of an engagement in Calabria, between the British and French, we have reason to think is well founded, and that it has been attended with disaster to the enemy. It is now admitted that the British, to the number of 12,000, according to one account, are posted in the neighbourhood of the Bay of St. Euphemia, where they have been joined by the insurgents. One of the French generals (Verdier) who was said to have defeated the British within a league of Cosenza, it appears, has fallen back to Cassano, near fifty miles from the former place, or the English position.—Regnier, the other general, preserves also a respectful distance, having betaken himself, with his division, to Catanzaro, on the Eastern side of the Peninsula, and of the mountains which intersect the Peninsula from North to South. It is clear from these positions, that the enemy have found it necessary to abandon the extremity of the Peninsula, and that part of the coast opposite Sicily.
The finances of the new king of the Two Sicilies do not keep pace with his military successes. He has been obliged to have recourse to a forced loan of 1,200,000 ducats. The operation by which these are to be raised, would not disgrace even the acknowledged talents of Talleyrand. King Joseph begins by expelling the order of the Jesuits; then he brings the property of which it was possessed to market; and this is the security which he offers to such of his faithful subjects as are compelled to subscribe to this forced contribution.
NAPLES, July 22.
Extraordinary exigencies may sometimes oblige governments to employ extraordinary means, but always founded on justice and good faith. Existing circumstances have then forced his majesty to have recourse to a loan of one million two hundred thousand ducats, at an interest of five per cent, secured upon lands belonging to the Jesuits, worth a million and a half. The lenders will receive from the minister of finances, debentures, which will be received as ready money in the purchase of the said lands. Those who may not choose to make use of them in the purchase of these lands, will be reimbursed in August, 1807.
NEW GERMANICK CONSTITUTION.
RATISBON, August 2.
The new treaty of confederation, signed at Paris on the 12th of July, and exchanged at Munich on the 25th of the same month, consists of 40 articles. The preamble states, that experience having shewn that the Germanick constitution can give no kind of security for either internal or external peace to the South of Germany, the contracting parties to this treaty; viz. his majesty the emperor of the French on the one part, and the kings of Bavaria and Wirtemberg, the elector arch-chancellor, and the elector of Baden, the duke of Berg, the Landgrave of Hesse Darmstadt, the princes of Nassau, Wied, and Usingen, of Hohenzollern, Hechingen, and Sigmaringen, of Salm-Salm, and Salm Kyrburg, of Isenburg, Bersten, and of Lichtenstein, the Duke of Arenberg and the count of Leyen, have agreed to the following articles:
ARTICLE 1. The states of the above princes are for ever separated from the German political body, and united by a particular confederation, under the name of the Confederated States of the Rhine.
2. All the laws of the empire are abrogated and null with respect to these States.
3. Each of the contracting princes renounce all such titles as have a relation to the constitution of the empire; and on the first August ensuing, they will formally declare their separation from the German empire.
4. The elector arch-chancellor receives the title of Prince Primate and Most Eminent Highness; which, however, confers no prerogative inconsistent with the full sovereignty enjoyed by the other contracting parties.
5. The elector of Baden, the duke of Berg, and the Landgrave of Hesse Darmstadt, take the title of grand dukes and royal highnesses, and enjoy all the rights, prerogatives, and homage, due to the regal dignity. Rank and precedence among them shall be according as they are named in the first article; the head of the house of Nassau shall take the title of duke, and the count of Leyen that of prince.
6. The common interest of the confederated States shall be discussed in an assembly of the League or Diet, the seat of which shall be at Frankfort; and the assembly shall be divided into two colleges, that of kings, and that of the princes.
7. The members of this confederation shall be independent of any foreign power, nor enter into any kind of service, except with states in the confederation.
8. No member shall alienate his sovereignty, either in whole or in part, except in favour of a confederate.
9. All disputes which may arise between the members of the confederation, shall be decided in the assembly of the League at Frankfort.
10. The prince Primate shall be president in the college of kings, and the duke of Nassau in that of princes.
11. Within a month after the declaration has been made at Ratisbon, the prince Primate of the confederation shall draw up a Constitutional Statute, which shall determine the time when the assembly shall be convoked, and the objects and form of its deliberation.
12. The emperor Napoleon shall be declared protector of the alliance, and, in quality of protector, whenever the prince Primate dies, he shall appoint his successor.
13. &c. to 23 inclusive, stipulate the different cessions and acquisitions of the confederates. Thus, Nassau cedes to Berg the Town of Denss and its territory; Bavaria acquires the Impartial City of Nuremberg and its territory; and the prince Primate the Imperial City of Frankfort.
24. The members of the confederation subject to their sovereignty all the princes, counts and lords, within the circle of the allied territory.
Then follows a detail of the division, by which several of the more considerable principalities are divided, among two, three, or more, new sovereigns. As for example; The territories of Hohenzollern, between Bavaria and Wirtemberg; those of Taxis among three, and those of Furstenburg among four different sovereigns.
26. Defines the rights of sovereignty, legislation, judicial authority, the police, the military conscription, and the imposts.
27. The subjected princes and counts shall retain their domains, seigniorial rights, &c.
30. Stipulates that there shall be an alliance between the emperor of the French and the confederated states; by virtue of which every continental war, in which either of the two parties shall engage, shall be common to both.
36. Should a foreign or neighbouring power arm, the contracting parties shall likewise arm, to prevent surprise. The notification for such arming shall be made by the emperor Napoleon. The contingent of the allies shall be divided into four parts, and the assembly of the League shall determine how many of those parts shall be put in motion.
37. Bavaria engages to fortify the cities of Augsburg and Landau, and to make them depots of artillery, arms, ammunition, and provisions.
38. The contingents of the several allied powers shall be as follows:
  France 200,000 men.   Bavaria 30,000   Wirtemberg 12,000   Baden 8,000   Berg 5,000   Darmstadt 4,000   Nassau, Hohenzollern, and others 4,000 
39. The contracting parties will admit other German princes and states into the alliance, when it shall be found suitable to the common interest.
40. The ratification of this treaty shall be exchanged at Munich on the 25th of July.
Signed by the plenipotentiaries of the contracting parties.
Paris, July 12, 1806.
The instruments of the acts of Ratification were signed by the emperor, at St. Cloud, on the 10th of July; and countersigned by the minister Talleyrand, and secretary of state, Maret.
BRUNSWICK, 26th July.
All the Jews of Germany have their eyes fixed on the Hebrew assembly, convoked at Paris by the emperor Napoleon. They all express the wish that H. M. would in like manner deign to take their lot into consideration and extend over them that benificent solicitude, of which the Jews of the French empire are about to feel the happy effects. Mr. Jacobson, agent of Finances of the court of Brunswick, and founder of a Jewish school in that town, has just addressed to H. I. and R. M., a petition of which the following is an extract:
SIRE,
"Penetrated with sentiments of the deepest veneration and full of that admiration always excited by extraordinary men who, at different periods, are chosen by the eternal to ennoble the human race, I approach the throne of Y. M. with that confidence which the great actions inspire with which you make the astonished universe resound.
"I have not the happiness to be reckoned amongst those men to whose interest you sacrifice all your moments; I do not belong to that happy country to which you have called back peace.
"I form part of the unhappy Jewish nation, against whom ignorance and superstition are leagued, in order to debase it and make it become the opprobrium of every people. May the God of nations choose Y. M. to bring about the happiness of the world, and the Jews form part of this world. I belong to that people whose misery has implored in vain for more than a thousand years, the piety and humanity of Sovereigns; to that people who expected in you their saviour, and who have found him in you, Sire!
"I have constantly laboured, for several years past, to bring about the happiness of my nation by civilising it; my efforts have been crowned with the happiest successes; I have succeeded in interesting several German Princes in favor of the children of my nation; I have obtained for my unfortunate brothers the abolition of an infamous tax, I have established at my own expence an institution for the instruction of young Jewish children, and in which are now educated upwards of twenty Christians.—But at present I set no bounds to my hopes, since I have the happiness to elevate my supplicant voice to the throne of your majesty.
"Vouchsafe, Sire, to extend your benificent intentions to the Jews who inhabit the countries which approximate to the vast empire. If your majesty continued your bounty to those of my brethren who are your subjects, how much would they not still have to wish for! How would they surmount the obstacles which the difference of the French administration and that of the other States continually places between them and us? The commercial relations and of Germany continually calling the Jews of the one nation to the other, what Jew inhabiting your states would come to sully the title of French citizen, by the modifications and vexations which the administrative order of Germany would make him experience? Will he choose his spouse from among a people defamed.
"What a great and sublime enterprize to break the chains of a people unjustly oppressed! What other than a God can listen to their complaints and free them from an insupportable yoke!.....
"It is not the princes of Germany who oppose the accomplishment of this great work, it is on the contrary the object of their utmost wishes, they desire to improve our condition. We groan under ancient laws dictated by barbarism, and which prejudice alone has hitherto supported.
"The German Jew would be happy if he might be permitted to earn an honest livelihood, to enjoy the right of citizenship, and if a form and course were given to his worship, which, without departing from the law, might accord with the exercises of all the duties of a citizen.
"But in order to arrive at this end, it would be requisite; 1st, to establish a Jewish Sovereign Council, presided by a Patriarch, sitting in France; 2d, to divide the whole community into districts, each of which should have a particular Synod, which, under the superintendence of the French government and the Jewish Sovereign Council, should decide on all affairs concerning Worship and appoint the Rabbins; 3d, to authorise the said sovereign council to grant to every Jew the necessary dispensation in order to enable him to fulfil his duties of citizen in every country.
"These means, Sire, appears to be as certain as indispensable. Let the political and ecclesiastical chains be broken which still retain the Jew in servitude, and he will soon be seen to enoble and raise himself to the rank of other men. Then indeed shall we walk in the steps of our ancestors, who changed into delicious gardens the barren rocks of Palestine, enriched them with the finest harvests, and who with the same hands which they set to the plough of the husbandman and the shuttle of the weaver, planted their victorious standards on the banks of Jordan."

The Drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number is sold to authorise it. The Managers have given bond to the state in the penalty of sixty thousand dollars for the faithful payment of the prizes, which will be paid, subject to a deduction of FIFTEEN PER CENT, thirty days after the drawing is finished.—Prizes not demanded within a Twelve-month from the completion of the drawing, will be considered as a donation to the College. Tickets to be had of the Managers, or of such persons as may be authorised by them.

The superiority of this Scheme to the one first proposed, is so obvious, that little need be said in recommendation of it. Those inclined to adventure, will see that their chance for obtaining prizes is greatly increased; that pending the drawing, their small prizes may be immediately invested in other tickets, thereby giving them a chance for prizes of considerable magnitude. To those who have drawn prizes of 15 dollars, in the First Class, as well as to those who have drawn blanks, information is now given, that the prizes may at their own option be renewed by tickets in this Class, and their blanks also, but upon the payment in the latter case of 10 dollars with each blank, provided such prizes and blanks, with the cash, be remitted free of postage to Robt. Greenhow, merchant, in Williamsburg, agent and treasurer, or to William Newsum, Post-Master, in Norfolk, previous to the commencement of the drawing, after which period no renewal will be made. When to the prospect of individual advantage that may result to each adventurer, is added the patriotic reasons which induced the legislature to authorise this Lottery, it is ardently hoped that the disposition of tickets, will soon enable the commissioners to certify, that the drawing has commenced; which event, the agent assures the public, shall be expedited by every means in his power.

FOR SALE.
The subscriber resolved to remove to the country, and improve his Lands, offers for Sale The following valuable PROPERTY, viz.
In Elizabeth-City, four valuable Establishments, chosen from the plan of the town, now thriving rapidly, consisting of TWO LOTS or one acre of ground, whereon I live, lying on the Post-road and Main-street, containing a Dwelling-House complete, almost new, 30 by 27, with an additional new chamber on the ground floor, 14 by 15, very airy; a complete dairy and store room new, under one roof, with a snug cellar, and a platform from the chamber to the dairy, which renders the passage quite dry in the wettest season; a good Smoke-house and Kitchen; a snug well finished Store-house, with a back shed and fire place; a two story Wire house new, proof against rats, with a back shed; and every other out-house and garden complete; the whole set decorated with trees and clover in a handsome manner, and in every respect remarkably pleasant.
Two other Lots opposite the Court-House, on one of which stands a convenient Dwelling-House, with two good chimneys, now occupied as a store, and is an excellent stand for business; on the other Lot is very convenient stables and carriage house, built of juniper, all under the same roof, 43 by 15, stalls for 6 horses and room for 2 carriages.
Two Lots adjoining near the water, handsomely enclosed with juniper, one cultivated as a garden, and the other well set in clover, by far the pleasantest lots in town to build on commanding a full view of Pasquotank River from town to the entrance, and fronting the south; one piece of Ground back of said Lots occupied as a Ship-yard, and is very convenient for the purpose, with the privilege of a creek and handsome beach at the mouth to draw a family set, where small fish are to be taken every day in the year; a good Smith's shop (with tools if required) and good negro-house on the premises; one unimproved Lot on the S. W. corner of the town.
Sixty Acres of Wood Land, adjoining the town, parted only by the line, all high land, and on the publick road leading out of the Main-street, where lots are valuable and daily applications for them, greater part very good land for clover and grain.
One Lot, Warehouse and Wharf, formerly occupied by C. & F. Grice, the wharf is new and well filled with stone and cypress, 104 feet in front, well framed with square timber, cypress above water; a Warehouse on the lot, 40 by 24, lately repaired, two stories high, and every apparatus for catering and graving vessels, of which a number apply.
A very handsome and well built Schooner, burthen about 700 barrels, now on the stocks, can be launched and completed in two weeks; a Sloop of 200 tons, four years old, now in the carpenter's hands, and will come out complete.
In Camden county, at Raymond's creek, on Pasquotank River Shore, a Piece of LAND at every publick landing, where much business has been done to advantage for a number of years, in the heart of a lumber and grain country, containing fourteen acres, on it a good Dwelling-house, with four rooms and piazza, out-houses, a good store, and ware-house separate, both two story.

LAND for SALE.
The Subscriber wishes to sell his Plantation, called BARN ELMS,
Lying on the Piankitank River in the County of Middlesex, consisting of 1140 acres of Land, that is surpassed by few estates of the county in goodness of quality.
It has on it a spacious Dwelling, consisting of two houses, of brick walls, covered with cypress, connected by a covered way, with two commodious rooms, and a very spacious one in one of the buildings, and four commodious ones with a store-room, and several closets in the other, with an excellent cellar of three rooms, and a vault. A kitchen and laundry with two rooms below stairs of brick, and covered with cypress, (as are the houses generally on the estate) two dairies, a smoke house a stable of brick walls, covered with cypress, and lately done up in the best manner—A house for carriages and other purposes, 42 feet by 20, new and of good materials, with a hip'd roof that affords a spacious apartment; an ice-house 20 feet square, built last fall of excellent materials, and painted (as will be most of the buildings during the fall) with a small barn, to which another is about to be added of the dimensions of the carriage house before mentioned—A spacious falling garden, with a good exposure, on which much care and attention have been bestowed, in order to render it desirable with a good effect, and has around it a good enclosure, principally of cedar posts, and cypress rails.
The Lands about the house are laid off in convenient yards, with excellent enclosures about them; and those adjoining them to the extent of 50 or 60 acres in lots, which have been much improved, and are under tolerable good enclosures.
The Subscriber has been induced from the great advantages possessed by the situation of this estate, to spend much of his time in improving it, (and has in some measure succeeded) expecting to have made it his residence, it lying in a situation to preclude intrusion, though on the navigable waters of the Piankitank, affording a ready conveyance to or from Baltimore and Norfolk, from the latter of which, it is distant 70 miles by land, and about 100 by water, and 72 from Richmond—This river affords perhaps a greater variety of the advantages attending an establishment on the water, than any other in our State; it certainly does in proportion to its extent, there being the finest sweep's-head, rock, oysters, crabs, and a variety of other fine fish, to be taken from it in their respective seasons—To a Sportsman, there would be a great fund of amusement, there being a great many deers and foxes in the neighbourhood, and snipe in the swamp, and an innumerable stock of partridges on the estate, with other game common to that part of the country. There are about 300 acres of the Land cleared, that have been in cultivation for some time, and by the end of the year there will be 40 or 50 more cut down and logged, in order to be taken up at any time the proprietor may choose, and about 300 acres of the Wood Land lies in such a manner as to be cleared and cultivated to advantage. It may be well to remark, that the subscriber's disposition to sell this Tract of Land, does not proceed from any unhealthy state of the situation, it being on the contrary, one of the most healthy perhaps to be found on our water courses. I deem it unnecessary, to say anything here of the terms on which the estate would be sold, as it is expected that any person disposed to purchase, will view the Lands previous to their being an occasion of his being thereof informed, which he may be at Barn Elms, at any time after the first of November next.
I would also sell 400 acres of Land, lying in the county of Gloucester, near Capahosick Ferry, and in the neighbourhood of Mr. William Jones's, and Thomas Fox, Esq.—Also, 750 acres, lying in the county of King and Queen, near the New Dragon Bridge.
