[The following is the bill introduced into the house of commons, which occasioned the change of the British administration.]
A BILL
For enabling his majesty to avail himself of the services of all his liege subjects, in his naval and military forces, in the manner therein mentioned.
Whereas it is expedient that his majesty should be enabled to avail himself of the services of all his subjects, in his naval and military forces, for the maintenance of the rights of his crown, and of the interest, honour, and independence of the British empire:
Be it therefore enacted by the king's most excellent majesty, by and with the consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that it shall and may be lawful for his majesty to grant or confer, or by his royal sign manual to empower the proper officer or officers to grant or confer any military commission, warrant, or appointment whatever, either in his majesty's sea or naval forces, or in any of his majesty's land or military forces whatsoever, to or upon any of his majesty's liege subjects, without exception; and that every such commission, warrant, or appointment, so granted or conferred, shall and may be lawfully exercised by such his majesty's subjects, in all places within or without his majesty's dominions, any law, statute, or usage to the contrary notwithstanding: provided, that every such person accepting the said commission, warrant, or appointment, take, make and subscribe the declaration and oath, herein after mentioned, which declaration and oath shall be ingrossed on the back or the foot of the commission or appointment so granted or conferred, and shall be there attested by the signature of the magistrate or officer in whose presence the same shall have been subscribed, and by whom the said oath shall have been administered.
And be it further enacted, that such oath and declaration may be administered and attested by any court of record or judge of such court, or by any justice of peace or other magistrate having power to administer oaths in any part of his majesty's dominions; and that if the party taking and subscribing the same, shall at the time of his so taking and subscribing the same, not be within his majesty's dominions, the same may then be administered and attested by any general or commanding officer of his majesty's land forces, or by any admiral or commanding officer of his majesty's naval forces: provided always, that in this last case the person holding such commission, warrant, or appointment shall, within months after his return to any part of his majesty's dominions, again take, make, and subscribe the same oath and declaration in presence of some court of record or magistrate as aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, that no person having so taken, made, and subscribed such oath or declaration respectively as aforesaid, shall be liable to any pains, penalties, or disabilities whatsoever, for having exercised or acted in or under any such commission, warrant, or appointment, any law, statute, or usage to the contrary notwithstanding, and although such person shall not have complied with any of the directions of the former statute respecting the qualifications of persons holding or exercising offices within this realm.
And be it further enacted, that the said oath and declaration, so to be taken, made, and subscribed, shall be in the words following, viz.
"I, A. B. being by this commission appointed to be (here set forth the appointment) do hereby solemnly promise and swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty king George the Third, and that I will do my utmost to maintain and defend him against all treasons and traitorous conspiracies, and against all attempts whatever that shall be made against his person, crown, or dignity; and that I will, to the utmost of my power, resist all such treason, conspiracies, or attempts, and will also disclose and make known the same as soon as they shall come to my knowledge; and I do also promise and swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will, to the utmost of my power, maintain and support the succession to the crown of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, as the same now stands limited by law; and that I will also, to the utmost of my power, maintain and support the established constitution and government of the said united kingdom against all attempts whatever that shall be made against the same."
And whereas it is expedient that his majesty's subjects, however employed in any of his majesty's sea or naval forces, or any of his majesty's land or military forces whatsoever, should be allowed the free exercise of such religious opinions as they may respectively profess; be it enacted that no person employed in his majesty's sea or naval forces, or land or military forces, and having previously signified in writing, signed by himself, to his commanding officer, his dissent from the doctrine or worship of the church of England as by law established, shall, under any pretence, or by any means, be prevented from attending, or be subject or liable to any pains, penalties or disabilities for attending such divine worship or religious service as may be consistent with and according to his religious persuasion or opinions, at proper and reasonable times, and such as shall be consistent with the due and full discharge of his naval or military duties; nor shall any such person be compelled or compelled to attend the worship or service of the said established church; and that any commission officer acting in violation of, or contrary to this
provision, shall, upon conviction thereof before a general court martial be liable to be suspended or dismissed from his majesty's service, or to such other punishment, not extending to life or limb, as the said court martial shall award; and that any warrant or non-commissioned officer so offending, shall be liable to such punishment, not extending to life or limb, as shall be awarded by a general or regimental court martial.
And be it further enacted, that this act shall be and continue in force from the day of its passing until the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven and the year of our Lord
RUSSIAN ARMIES.
As the Cozacks form so considerable a part of the Russian army, and particularly in the new raised militia, it cannot but be interesting to our readers to learn the character and strength of this component part of an army and a nation in which the hopes of the confederated powers must now, in a considerable degree, rest. The name of Cozacks is general, and applied to all those tribes, which follow the same irregular and almost optional method of warfare. The particular bodies of the Cozacks are distinguished from each other, not by the different nations which compose them, but by the places they respectively inhabit. Thus the Don Cozacks take their name from the river Don: the Ouralian Cozacks from the Ouralian mountains; the Cozacks of the Ukraine from the name of the country; and the Zaporavian Cozacks, from the cataracts of the Dniester, as the word Zaporavian, or, more properly, Zaporogiz, signifies in the Russian language, "people living beyond the cataracts." The two former are chiefly the colonists of Great Russia, and the two latter are formed of Malo-Russians; these wear no beards. The Zaporavians shave even their heads, and leave only a short piece of hair upon the crown long enough to reach the nose, and pride themselves upon every thing that is opposite to civilization, and to the common feelings of man! There was a time when no woman whatever was permitted to live in their society; and, though they began lately to have more intercourse with the sex, still they retain strongly the marks of their former ferocity. They may be called, with great propriety, a gang of desperate outlaws, of robbers, and all sorts of publick offenders, who are suffered to exist merely on account of the mischief they do to an enemy.
The Cozacks of the Ukraine and the Don Cozacks are more advanced in civilization; the latter are seen sometimes with and sometimes without beards; but the former exist merely in name, applied indiscriminately to all the inhabitants. Excepting the Cozacks of the Ukraine, and the Zaporavians, the Tartars and Calmuks are so interspersed with all other Cozacks that they form the most conspicuous and prominent feature in them. The Calmuks seem to be the real descendants of the ancient Scythians, who dwell on the borders of the Don (Tanais). Their features are broad and flat, with a pair of small, fiery, piercing eyes. They are of small stature, very robust and active, and expert in the use of the bow and arrow, which they still use. They are extremely skilful in managing unruly horses, and are hired expressly for that purpose by horse-contractors for the army, who have to chase these animals out of the wild studs bred chiefly by the land proprietors in Little Russia. A Calmuk rides straight into the midst of these ungovernable creatures, and after the horse is singled out which is to be taken, he throws a loop round his neck with such dexterity, that, though the distance is considerable, as the ferocious animal will not suffer any one to approach near him, he seldom misses his aim. No sooner does the loop fall upon the horse's neck, than the Calmuk fastens with amazing rapidity the other end of the rope to the saddle he sits upon, in such a manner as to prevent all possibility of the horse's escaping. The unruly savage, thus surprized, struggles hard, but the horse which the Calmuk rides, takes such a position, by the direction of the rider, that the strength of the captive is exhausted, and he, at length, suffers himself to be led away, and is soon tamed. The Tartars, who are like Calmuks in their persons, are so intermixed with them as to be seen every where together. They devour raw whatever animal food comes in their way, or, as they eat their spare horse carcasses, without any other preparation of the flesh than warming it under the saddle of the horse they ride upon. They have generally several horses with them, so that their provisions, and the means of travelling, proceed with them without any incumbrance. Both these nations or tribes are extremely numerous among the Don Cozacks, and altogether form those terrible warriors, whose aspect alone, is sufficient to dismay an enemy not accustomed to the sight of such hordes of savages.
These Cozacks are a necessary appendage to the Russian regular army; they are its guides and satellites. It is their particular business to obtain intelligence from the enemy, which they do sometimes in the manner that a Calmuk takes a wild horse. As soon as a Cozack comes near enough to the object of his search, he throws a loop round his waist, fastens it to his saddle, and gallops off with the prisoner. In this way also they transport their prisoners, and drag them through the rivers they have to cross. All the out-posts are formed chiefly of the Cozacks. They are continually upon the look out, and cut a conspicuous figure in skirmishes. Their delight in blood and love of booty form the main spring of all their actions, and the Cozack seldom hesitates to attack friend or foe if he sees the probability of plunder. They are armed with a long lance, a gun, a brace of pistols, and a sword, something in the shape of a Turkish sabre. Though in their military appearance they preserve a certain degree of uniformity, still as their dress is
according to their fancy or means, the scene, whenever they march in a body, is truly grotesque and variegated. Their horses, which are so diminutive and apparently weak that they seem more calculated to be carried than to carry, are a race altogether anomalous, for whether fed luxuriously or sparingly, they maintain invariably the same niggardly appearance, and, like the Russian soldier, can exist almost upon nothing. The Cozacks are allowed to preserve their own government, and they in return stipulate to furnish the emperor, at their own expence, with whatever number of men he may require, on the condition of being allowed to make booty!—Such is their thirst for war as the means of plunder, that when the number required is inconsiderable, so that they must cast lots who should go, a serious quarrel is generally the consequence of not being included in the number. He that returns home without booty, or has not been in action, is viewed by the women in a despicable light, so that their manners and mode of living all tend to make them a terror to the peaceful and the helpless, and the most destructive warriors that can be let loose upon a civilised people, as death and desolation follow in their train, and every thing that is valuable they remove or destroy. They even think it charity to kill their own comrades, when wounded past recovery, or likely to fall into the hands of an enemy. They disperse in such small parties that it is almost impossible to stop their incursions, and for this reason they are the most dangerous set of men that can enter a hostile country. Nor are they less so to a routed enemy; for, though they do not fight in the line, they are the first in pursuit of him, and the last in desisting from it. Their feats in Poland, in Turkey, and in Italy, under the command of Suwarrows, will not soon be forgotten.

INCENDIARIES. —On Wednesday night, about half past ten, a blaze was observed to issue from the stable of Mr. Glen, of the Eagle Tavern—upon examination it appeared that some villain or villains had stuffed a bundle of old rags (in which was contained a live coal) under the shingles near the eves of the house, and on the back part of it. There can be no doubt of the nefarious design, which was prevented by a person passing at the moment that the rags were in a blaze.
THE MAIL. —It is understood that the Post Master General, some time since, with a view to the arrival and departure of the mail to and from this place every day, contracted that the mail should come and go on both the North and South sides of James River, instead of going on the south side only. The regulation was very salutary, and would have been productive of great convenience to the Merchants and others of this place, provided the mails arrived and departed on alternate days. The mails, however, arrive and depart on the same day and at the same hour, so that the publick derive no benefit from the regulation. If the weight of the mail was too great to go on one line, the regulation as now adopted was necessary, but upon no other ground. It is presumed that this matter could be arranged so as to produce the benefit contemplated, or at all events, that the Postmaster general on application would set things to rights.
COMMUNICATION.
The Enquirer informs that Mr. Garland, a Senator for the District of Gloucester, &c. has been rejected, on account (as we may infer) of his voting against certain resolutions introduced into the House of Delegates at the last session, approving the conduct of the President, in matters of which the House had no knowledge. The Citizens of Norfolk County thought differently. The manly and independent conduct of Mr. Murdaugh (one of the representatives of this county) on that occasion, will be remembered by most of our readers. For that, or some other cause, an active opposition was made to his re-election, but it could not succeed, and Mr. Murdaugh, without any active exertion was re-elected by a handsome majority, which would have been much increased if the poll had continued another day.
By Captain Storer, in the sloop Katy-Maria, from Philadelphia, we have been favoured with Philadelphia papers of the 4th instant, but they contain nothing interesting. Captain S. informs us that accounts had been received there before his departure, that Morgan Lewis the governor of New York, had been killed in an affray at Albany. We hope this intelligence may prove premature, and we incline to think that it is founded on the circumstance of an assault made by some of the Clintonians at or near Albany, on Gen. Van Rensselaer, who was much wounded, and some reports state that his life was despaired of.
The following article from a New-York paper confirms us in the opinion, that the report of the attack on Governor Lewis has been confounded with the attack on General Van Rensselaer.
MELANCHOLY NEWS.
“By letters received from Albany, we understand there are no hopes entertained of the recovery of general Solomon Van Rensselaer.
“An universal gloom pervades all the city of Albany, in consequence of this melancholy event, and its inhabitants whose feelings are divided between sympathy for the situation of gen. Van Rensselaer, and indignation and horror at the outrages of his antagonists, have been with difficulty restrained from violence.
“The public are already informed that the cowardly and cruel attack was made by several Clintonians, among whom were Judge Taylor, and Francis Bloodgood, friends and relations of De Witt Clinton. They have given him a dangerous wound on the head, and caused a wound received by him in defence of his country once more to stream with blood.
“Fellow citizens, this is the beginning of troubles—the Clintonians have commenced with bloodshed—God only knows where their enormities will end! Let De Witt and his Fighting Committee beware; their friends in Albany are held to bail to answer for the murder of gen. Van Rensselaer, in case of his death.
“We were indignant at the death of Pierce when murdered by a foreigner, what shall be our emotions, on beholding one of our brethren murdered by his fellow citizens, in the streets of his native city.”
An Omen. —The following was one of the standing toasts, at a least given by the republicans of Philadelphia to Dr. Leib for his active and meritorious services during the last session of the Pennsylvania legislature. The toast evidently designates the venerable George Clinton of New York as Mr. Jefferson's successor.
The vice-president of the United States—his course has been patriotic and honourable to himself as well as useful to his country—may he be rewarded by the first place in the government on the retirement of Mr. Jefferson.—(Enquirer.)
The hail storm on Wednesday afternoon and night were succeeded on the same night by an earthquake, which was felt by several of the inhabitants of this city. The shock seemed to have commenced here
about 3 o'clock after midnight, and there was possibly a succession of them until day break. It shook the framed buildings, and their furniture, and produced a rumbling noise like distant thunder. A gentleman from the south, states that it extended at all events to N. Carolina. It would be a curious thing, to know from different parts of the country, at what time the earthquake and hail storms commenced, at what time they ceased, and the different phenomena which might lead to a discovery of the causes of each and their possible connection with each other. ibid.
Report. —It is reported that the British minister, Mr. Erskine, has been recalled, and that an express has been sent to Hampton Roads to stop the Wasp, now on her way to England. This report comes by a gentleman by the last evening's stage, from Washington. By “recalled” we presume it is to be understood, that Mr. Erskine is to be superseded by another minister. But this was to have been expected upon the late change of the ministry in England.
Mr. Erskine's recall would certainly be no very favourable symptom of the friendly disposition of the present cabinet towards us; as he is married to an American woman; is a man of liberal sentiments, and the son of the celebrated Erskine, the friend and co-adjutor of Fox. ibid.
Congressional Election.
Mr. Dawson is re-elected for the district of Spottsylvania, &c. by a majority of 501 votes.
Mr. John Love is elected for the district of Culpepper and Fauquier, by a majority of 276 votes over Mr. Thompson, the former representative.
John Randolph, Esq. is re-elected to congress, from the district of Cumberland, &c. without opposition.
John W. Eppes, esq. is re-elected to congress, from the district of Powhatan, &c.—without opposition.
The members of the second class of the senate of Virginia, were vacated according to the rule of the constitution, on the 31st of last March. Their seats were therefore to be filled, during the present spring election.
Houlder Hudgins Esq. of Mathews county, is elected for the senatorial district of Gloucester, Mathews and Middlesex—in the place of Christopher Garland, Esq. of Gloucester. Mr. Garland stood a Poll, but was defeated. He was one of the Republican senators, who, during the last session, voted against Mr. Robertson's resolution, approving of the measures and conduct of the administration during the important session of 1805—6. ibid.
The Editor of the Expositor, in his paper of yesterday, states that col. Burr arrived in town on Wednesday evening, and that a supper was given him at Mr. Gadsby's the same night, by a number of federal gentlemen—that he does not know what toasts were drank—and that col. B. had taken up his residence at the seat of a gentleman near town.
As this paragraph seems to be aimed at a particular description of our fellow townsmen, we have, for the sake of correct information, inquired at Mr. Gadsby's the truth of the above circumstances, and are informed that col. Burr arrived in town about 9 o'clock at night on Wednesday—that he had a cup of tea in his own room, and that no person was with him but a travelling stranger—that he breakfasted and dined at Gadsby's the next day, lodged there that night, and set out for Washington the following forenoon. Now if we are to test the truth of all the tales we have heard and seen published of col. B. and federalism, with this falsehood and its propagator, we ask what credence is to be given them?
The editor of the Expositor has lately been appointed a justice of the peace by Mr. Jefferson (and as such of honorable and high standing) he resides on the same street and within a few doors of Mr. Gadsby's tavern, and professes, from his editorial remarks, to be intimately acquainted with every occurrence which takes place there, by night or by day—therefore, we submit to our readers to say whether he has not (to speak in the most courtly stile) published to the world a barefaced untruth, knowing it to be so, at the time of publishing it. We have been always impressed with a belief, that a magistrate, when he clothed himself in that sacred garb, was to be considered as a guardian of truth and justice, and a detector of falsehood and licentiousness, and under the old school it certainly was, in fact, so; but Mr. Jefferson has corrected the procedure, and a different conduct may now be considered as the road to preferment.
Alexandria Advertiser.
From the United States' Gazette.
TO THE PUBLICK.
The trustees of the college of New Jersey feel the painful task imposed upon them of stating to the public the material facts connected with a late combination of the students under their care to resist the regular authority of the institution. This statement, founded on the most impartial investigation of facts, and drawn from sources the most authentic, will, they trust, deserve the entire confidence of the public.
The remote causes which have led to this event are to be found in the pernicious principles and loose manners of some vicious youths who have obtained admission into the institution; and still more, perhaps, in the almost unlimited allowance of money, or of credit, given to many others, and which in a society of young men whose passions are not yet corrected by experience and reflection, are so apt to corrupt minds originally the most innocent. And although the dangerous and unlawful practice of introducing spirituous liquors into the college, and of frequenting taverns and other places of entertainment, at the late hours of the night, was known or believed to be common among a portion of the students, yet direct and opposite evidence of these facts could be obtained only against a few who were immediately dismissed from the society. For the more bold and artful offenders, who, by their boldness, commonly render themselves popular among their associates, had too successfully established among them this false but plausible principle, that to give testimony against a fellow student, however gross his vices or faults might be, was in the highest degree dishonourable. Any evidence, therefore, against this class of students, on which an act of discipline could be founded, must depend entirely on the vigilance and personal ob-
servation of the faculty themselves. And though they were much the smallest class, yet were they able, under the protection of this principle, frequently to give great disturbance to the order of the college, at different periods during the late session; and towards the close of it, their insolence assumed a bolder tone. The door and windows of the room of one of the tutors, who had been the cause of the detection and punishment of some of them, were broken. Attempts had been made at midnight to destroy certain convenient enclosures, belonging, and contiguous to the college, and one small building was actually consumed by fire.
They were informed that, although the Faculty had no authority to punish, except on clear and positive proof, yet that the trustees, whose property the college is, and who were to assemble in a few days, had power to send away all those students whose presence they esteemed dangerous to the institution; and the misconduct of some of them had now rendered the interposition of that power a measure of indispensable necessity. Those who were most conscious of being exposed to the exercise of that power, which is the last resort of the discipline of the college, from that moment, as has appeared since by the confession of several of the students, planned a combination to resist the authority of the house, and thus to screen themselves, or to diminish their own disgrace by involving others in their fate. This combination was hastened, and brought into immediate operation by an act of the Faculty suspending three of the students for insolence to certain officers in the college in the discharge of their duty, or for other practices contrary to the laws, and clearly ascertained. One of these young men, especially, was popular among his associates. Many of the more orderly students, and some who even deserved praise for their regularity and diligence, were induced to enter into this combination from the notion that it was honourable to come forward in defence of a fellow student, and, as some of them have since declared, from a belief that a numerous and firm association would induce the Faculty to recall their act, and yield to the wishes of the associators without producing any further disturbance.
They had, probably, no apprehension of the violent effects of the excited passions of such a number of young men who had once thrown themselves loose from the restraints of law. Many have said that they believed no more was designed than a respectful petition to the faculty, requesting them to review their proceedings in the case of the last mentioned young gentlemen, and under this impression signed without reading the remonstrance which was presented. But the leaders in this combination, had the address to express their remonstrance, which was drawn up under the name of a petition, in such language as could not be received by the government of the college. It contains an imperious demand, which is not even decently veiled by a few modest expressions accompanying it, to re-instate all the suspended persons in their former honorable stations in the college, under a menace of no equivocal meaning, if their application should be rejected. It contains, further, a most indecent requisition, to certain members of the faculty, to retract expressions which, probably, for the particular purposes of the combination, had been reported among the students, to have been uttered by them. And, finally, in the pretended petition, they, in effect, erect themselves in a tribunal to re-judge the decisions of the governors of the institution. It was couched in the following terms. Common sense is sufficient to interpret their meaning:
To the members of the Faculty of the College of New Jersey.
GENTLEMEN,
“The students of the institution, fully satisfied that the procedure of its officers has been inconsistent with the principles of justice, or that they have proceeded precipitately in their decision of the cases of Messrs. Hyde, Matteau and Cumming, do respectfully request the reinstatement of these gentlemen in their former honorable stations.—They humbly conceive that the members of the faculty have not made those nice enquiries into their several cases, and have depended solely on the representations of a few who are probably prejudiced against the individuals, or who have formed erroneous conceptions of their general mode of conduct. They therefore request an immediate answer to this petition, since their future proceedings will greatly depend upon the propriety or impropriety of their decision. They, in addition to this, moreover request the members of the faculty to retract or contradict certain expressions which have been thrown out by them, tending materially, in their own estimation, and that of the community, to the destruction of their reputations individually—such expressions being, in their opinion, destitute of the stamp of truth.”
This paper was presented to one of the professors, in the name of the students, by a committee of nine. The faculty immediately consulted with the only member of the corporation who resided in the vicinity of the college on the measures proper to be pursued, in concurrence with him, determined on such as were at once decided and prompt, and, in their opinion, both necessary and temperate. The students being previously assembled in the public hall, it was represented to them that the laws, those laws which at their admission into the college, and at the commencement of each session, they had solemnly pledged their truth and honor to obey, had foreseen and provided against such combinations as the present, in which a great proportion of them were engaged. The law which relates particularly to this case is in the following words—“If any clubs or combinations of students, shall, at any time, take place, either for resisting the authority of the college, or interfering in its government, or for concealing or executing any evil or disorderly design, every student concerned in such combination, shall be considered as guilty of the offence which was intended; and the faculty are empowered and directed to break up all such combinations as soon as discovered, and to inflict a severer punishment on each individual than if the offence intended had been committed in his individual capacity, whatever be the number concerned, or whatever be the consequence to the college.”
On the ground of this law, the students were informed that nothing could be conceded to combination. On the contrary, if those who were concerned in this transaction did not return to their duty, and renounce the principle of uniting together to control the government of the college according to their humours, they would render them-
selves liable to be immediately suspended. Every argument was used to induce them to a proper conduct, and time was offered them to reflect on the part they had to act. But their leaders had their minds already prepared. One of them rose, and said they had all concurred in the same resolution, and would not retract any thing they had done. He left the hall, and the rest followed him with great tumult and disorder. The faculty then pronounced the sentence of suspension on all who had departed in this tumultuous manner. The more thoughtless and intemperate among them were proceeding to acts of considerable violence, and still greater were threatened; but by the prudent precautions which were employed, no serious injury was done to the college edifice.
That this combination did not originate entirely from sympathy with the young gentlemen on whose account ostensibly it was chiefly formed, but had a deeper root, and probably the same which has already been pointed out, appears from the following considerations: In the first place, the combination was much too extensive and violent for the occasion; for, although three persons are named in their remonstrance as unjustly suspended, yet one of these is understood to have been the object of their principal concern. But, in the next place, if this were not so, and all the three stood equally high in the estimation of their fellow students, it was well known that the Board of Trustees was called to meet in a few days, and they were informed that to them lies an appeal from every sentence of the faculty by any student who thinks himself aggrieved. To this tribunal, therefore, they would have had recourse if their pretensions had been sincere; if, indeed, the combination and revolt had not been previously resolved on by a great part of them, for other causes than these mentioned in the remonstrance. Lastly, the young gentleman himself, whose fate is said to have given the chief occasion to the combination, in a letter addressed to the Trustees, renounces the principle of combining among the students for attaining any object from the government, and condemns the whole proceeding in his own case.
The trustees of the college convened on the 8th of April. Shortly after their meeting, a paper was presented to them signed by six persons as a committee on behalf of the combination, and desiring to be heard before the board in that character. The trustees directed this paper to be returned to them with an intimation that they could receive no committee who appeared in the name of students combined against the laws and government of the institution; but, if any student had any grievance to complain of in his own case he should be heard. Some persons in consequence of this intimation appeared before the board, renounced the principle on which they had associated together to resist the lawful authority under which they were placed; and pledged themselves to future submission and obedience. Others, more resolute in error, openly avowed in the presence of the board, the principle of combination and resistance, whenever they thought themselves, or a fellow student, aggrieved by any proceeding of the faculty. They spoke much of rights, comparing the college to a state of civil society in which the people, if they are dissatisfied with the government, have a right to rise and resist, or even overturn it. This analogy would have been more perfect if they had founded the college, and appointed its officers; but since the college is the property of the trustees, and students reside in it only by permission, for their own improvement, and during good behaviour, this analogy is most absurd. Every student who is not contented with the administration of the laws, or the modes of instruction in the institution, has a right to withdraw from it; but while he remains in it, and subject to its laws, his right is obedience, both by the nature of the thing and his own solemn promises. He has surely no right to come to it only to violate its laws, and subvert its government.
The trustees, after the most patient and diligent inquiry into all the circumstances of this insurrection, and taking into their most serious consideration the true and permanent interests of the institution, resolved by a unanimous vote, finally to expel eleven of those who, in their opinion, were the most prominent leaders in the disorder, and to dismiss without a publick expulsion six whose improper conduct in other respects, had rendered them unsafe members of such a literary and moral society. In regard to the residue, many of whom, through misrepresentation, misconception of the object of the combination, or menace, had been induced to join in it, the board, after confirming the sentence of the faculty, thought proper still to leave the door open to their return to the college, upon their publick and explicit renunciation of a principle which has led to such serious evils, and the manifestation of a proper penitence for their past fault.
Finally, letters were directed, on behalf of the board, to be addressed to the parents or guardians of the members so expelled, dismissed or suspended, expressive of their regret at being compelled to adopt this apparently severe but necessary measure, and requesting such parents or guardians to co-operate in giving efficacy to the discipline of the college. A circular letter has also been addressed to the different colleges and universities in the United States, to which is annexed a correct list of the persons so expelled, dismissed, or suspended, that they may be apprised of the circumstances under which these young men have left this college, if any of them should apply for admission into any other institution.
And because dissipation has been found to be encouraged, and the spirit of insubordination emboldened, by an excessive allowance of money, or credit, to many of the students, measures have been adopted which will be laid before the publick in a separate address, to restrain as far as may be in the power of the board, both these evils.
From the foregoing statement of facts the publick will easily perceive, that the single alternative left to the trustees is either to govern their own institution by their own officers, or resign it to the government of inconsiderate boys, and passionate young men, whenever a popular offender is pleased to call an assembly of students. In a government continually liable to combinations and revolts, there is an end of all just subordination.
If those who are sent to obey undertake to dictate—if they are to be subject to no controul, but such as they think reasonable, all who have any acquaintance with human nature must know that a foundation is laid for the practice of every vice—for indolence, ignorance, and eventual ruin. Better far that no college should exist, than to exist on

such terms. The numbers of the students will be diminished, for the present, by cutting off so many dangerous members from the institution; but the public will have a pledge in this act, of the vigour with which the trustees intend to preserve their discipline. It will even invite parents to confide their children with more security to the guardianship of those, who with such firmness and such faithfulness, are determined to superintend their morals as well as their improvements in science. Is it not then the sacred duty of the parents of all those youth who may be sent to this place for instruction, to co-operate with the guardians of this institution; and so far as lies in their power to humble that indocile and usurping spirit, which tramples on the wholesome restraints of all legitimate authority, and which has led to the late unhappy disorders? Should they not impress on the minds of their offspring the importance of discipline as the indispensable means of their own improvement in science and morals—and insist on a prompt and unreserved submission to the laws of the college as the absolute condition of their parents' future approbation and favour. Returning to the place of their education with such a temper and such views, those young gentlemen who have been misled by the more artful and unprincipled among their companions, and whose standing in College has hitherto been good, will be received with pleasure, and their indiscretion be forgiven. They will again experience that paternal discipline—that patient instruction—those zealous efforts which have always been so actively employed, to fix them in habits of diligence, of virtue and order, the sole aim and tendency of which are, to prepare them for usefulness and distinction in this life, and for a higher state of happiness in a better world.

LONDON, March 24. The Duke of Portland would find it a very difficult task to make out his new list, if talents were to be the standard of official rank; but as these are out of the question, it is easy to put down a number of names—and when the catalogue is completed, the offices may be assigned with as little difficulty; so that the Burlington administration may be considered rather as a collection than a selection; for there can be no choice where the materials are alike. The new arrangement, it is said, will be ready on Wednesday next. When that list is presented, will the inhabitants of Ireland find a Sir John Newport, or a Bedford, &c. in it? or any of those exalted characters who sympathized with their distresses, and poured balm into their wounds?
The people of this country have been accustomed, in every change, to look for talents, rank, landed property, and high personal connections in each successive administration. Men might be changed, but those proud distinctions were immutable—they raised this country in the eyes of foreign nations, and inspired their cabinets with a confidence in ours, the value of which, in a national point of view, cannot be too highly appreciated.
The earl of Hardwicke; whose vice-regal administration in Ireland, was so judiciously tempered and nicely balanced as to render his name dear to the people of that country, in his anxiety for the welfare of that part of the United Kingdom, as inseparably interwoven with the prosperity of the whole, waited on Saturday, on his Majesty at Windsor, and, as an hereditary Counsellor of the Crown, desired an audience to represent the agitation which this measure is likely to produce in Ireland. The King, we are told, received him with great politeness. Let the result of his representation be what it may, his lordship will have the consolation of having discharged an important duty. Lord Elden was immediately admitted to the closet.
The Earl of Chatham arrived in town from Belvoir Castle yesterday morning; where, it is said, he had been for the purpose of offering the Duke of Rutland the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. His Lordship will have a seat in the Cabinet.
There are several lists in circulation; some of them appear to have been drawn as it were by lottery, and perhaps they are those that will come nearest the real one. In a scramble for power and places, men of pertinacity and presumption will take the lead, and aspire to situations for which they were never intended by nature or education.
With respect to the cause of this unexpected change, we are too short-sighted to discover the policy of rejecting the services of a great proportion of our own countrymen, whose interests are the same with our own, who must rejoice at every thing which benefits our country, and grieve at every thing which hurts it, and of accepting of the services of strangers, of Hanoverians and importing into England men whose interest have no natural connection with ours, who might easily be made to feel an interest in turning their swords against us, as well as against any foreign nation. We refuse to accept the services of our Catholic brethren, but do we refuse their money? Have we any scruple to tax them because of their religious sentiments? In other parts of the empire we even accept of the military service of Hindoos, Negroes, and Mahometans, and make laws to protect them in the exercise of their religious rites! Is it of the British and Irish alone, of whom we must remain for ever jealous, whom we can never regard as our countrymen and brethren?
Mr. Percival's speech on the Catholic Question is supposed to have instigated this total change in his Majesty's councils; he is to have his former office of attorney-general, in which he will, no doubt, be ready to make any discontent that may appear in Ireland on the rejection of the measure now before parliament, a pretext for those strong measures which he voluntarily offered, in his observations on the opening speech of the present session, to those whom he would trust with nothing else, in order to suppress some trifling disturbances, of which we have never since heard more. The man who makes so light of the establishment of Martial law and of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus act, (for these are the well known interpretation of strong measures with respect to Ireland,) cannot be regarded, in a situation such as that of attorney-general, without a painful apprehension of fresh inroads on the constitution, and a dread of the renewal of those horrid legal cruelties, the bare remembrance
of which is sufficient to make justice and humanity shudder.
It is expected that lord Howick will this evening be called on, in the house of commons, to give his promised explanation of the cause of this political convulsion, which seems to shake the empire to its centre.
Let our immediate circumstances be affected as they may, we trust in the good sense of the Irish nation to diminish the effect of any unwelcome disappointment whatever, by every thing that has taken place to disturb the cordiality of the cabinet, yet we hope that no serious disunion will result out of it. The fate of this Empire, and indeed of Europe, is now in the hands of the present administration. If they break up, upon any point of domestic policy—if warm with adverse opinions they desert their posts, and commit to chance the destinies of their own and of other nations with which they are entrusted—who is bold enough to look at the probable result unmoved? Important as the intended measure of ministers are to our prosperity and happiness, yet in the vast scale of human interests confided to them at this most critical of all junctures, they are comparatively small; and if any unfortunate schism should disable them from duly performing the efforts necessary for the general deliverance of Europe, all must be engulfed, and parties, sects, factions, nations and empires, perish in a common ruin.
Dublin paper.
Since our last, French papers to the 9th, and Dutch to the 14th inst. inclusive, have arrived, but their contents are not of great importance. It is said the towns of Elbing, Marienbourg, and Marienwerder, have been again occupied by the French, who are also in possession of the whole of the coast along the gulf of Frisch-haff; but no considerable body of troops had arrived in the suburbs of Dantzic, for the purpose of commencing the siege of that city. The reduction of Graudentz was, it was understood, to be effected before regular approaches were made against Dantzic. A large detachment of the Bavarian army, and a crop of 6000 Saxons, were on the point of marching to join the Grand Army in Poland. A body of 500 Russians, taken prisoners at the battle of Pultusk, arrived the latter end of February at Cassel, on their way to Mentz. A great number of troops from Italy were on their march through the Tyrol for the purpose of effecting a junction with the Grand Army.
The public opinion in favour of peace had become strong in Berlin; but we cannot learn from what cause.
CONTINENT OF EUROPE.
BERLIN, March 6.
Official accounts from the head-quarters at Osterode, dated the 28th February, state, that all accounts concur in estimating the loss of the Russians in the battle of Eylau at 20 generals, and 900 officers, partly killed and partly wounded, and at 30,000 men disabled from further service. In the battle of Ostrolenka, on the 16th of February, two Russian generals were killed, and three wounded.
The army has gone into cantonments behind the Passarge. The left wing inclines to Marienwerder and Elbing, where the country presents many sources of accommodation.
A Russian division advanced towards Braunberg, which lies at the point of our cantonments. The emperor gave orders that they should be attacked, and the prince of Ponte Corvo commissioned the meritorious general Dupont to carry these orders into effect. On the 26th of February, at two in the afternoon, general Dupont appeared before Braun Verg, attacked the strong division of the enemy, defeated them with the bayonet, and drove them out of the town, and back over the Passarge. He took 16 pieces of cannon, two standards, and 2,000 prisoners. Our loss in killed was trifling.
On the side of Glutstadt, general Lieger Belair, marched on the 25th at break of day to Peterswalde, having learned that a Russian column had arrived there in the night. He attacked it and took prisoners the general Baron Korff, several lieutenant-colonels and officers, and 400 men. This brigade was composed of ten battalions, which had suffered so much that it had not more than 1600 men under arms.
General Dombrowsky advanced against the garrison of Dantzic. He fell in with it near Dirschau, took 600 prisoners, and seven pieces of cannon, and pursued it several leagues sword in hand. Marshal Lefebvre came up with the 10th corps, which he commands—he was joined by the Saxons, and marched to invest Dantzic.—Hamburg Correspondent, March 11.
March 13.
The object of the Russians, in passing the Lower Vistula, seems to have been to relieve the fortresses on this side, and to retake this city. So great has been their infatuation, that notwithstanding one defeat has followed close upon another, they could not persuade themselves to relinquish it. According to accounts from the head-quarters at Osterode, of the 6th, the Russians had again approached the Passarge in force. The emperor, however, gave orders for some of the corps to pass that river, and the enemy was driven ten leagues backward, and he was pursued with such energy, that he seemed to think the object of the French was to attack Koningsberg. To that place therefore, the enemy fled with precipitation. The badness of the roads extremely favoured the enemy, as the French cavalry was considerably impeded. The latter, therefore, contented themselves with driving back the enemy, and returned to their position. On the 7th all was quiet again.
As the late operations have been the cause of his majesty remaining so far from Warsaw, it is thought that the diplomatic corps will come hither. It is even meant to insinuate, that it is not impossible but that as soon as the winter-quarters are settled, his majesty will return to this capital.

VIENNA, May 7.
To Compte Rasumousky. Extract from the dispatches of general Essen, dated 31st January, (12th February,) 1807, received 6th February, (18th.)
"I hasten to communicate to your excellency the happy intelligence which I have just received from Russian ambassador."
from general Benningsen. Bonaparte attacked him on the 18th instant (N. S.) with all his forces, near Eylau; but he met with so obstinate a resistance, that he was obliged to renounce his purpose, with a loss which is estimated at 25,000 men. General Benningsen has marched to Wittenberg, in order to replenish himself with ammunition.
"On my part, I attacked on the 3d inst. (N. S.) the corps opposed to me. They were defeated on the whole line. The enemy, having been reinforced afterwards by the army of reserve under Oudinot, appeared desirous to attack me, but I shall do this myself to-morrow, and I hope that God will bless our arms."
(No. 2.)
Extract from the report of general Benningsen, dated the 11th Feb. (N. S.) 1807, received 18th Feb. (N. S.)
"Wittenburgh, Feb. 11.
"Having been informed that the enemy had collected all his forces at Allenstein, I advanced with all mine. Being arrived at Jankow, I was attacked there on my left wing, and drove the enemy back. The same was done also in every direction on my right wing—however, the engagement was prevented from becoming general by the approach of night."
"I then resolved to change my direction, in order to cover the city of Koningsberg, which was the point at which all the endeavours of Bonaparte were aimed. I thus drew the enemy along by my side, and my rear continued fighting six days successively."
"At length being arrived on the 7th inst. (N. S.) at Preussisch-Eylau, I halted and waited his approach. He attacked me, and entered into the town, which was in my front. As our forces could no longer resist those opposed to them, I dispatched a part of my reserve against them, and advanced myself to the attack."
"The town was re-taken in an instant, and two battalions of the enemy, which had not time to escape, were in part cut to pieces or taken, together with two colours. In the evening I evacuated the town secretly, in the expectation that the enemy would send a body of troops on the other side of it, in order to attack my centre, which, in fact, took place during the night."
"At the break of day I directed a part of my artillery against the French column; it was thrown into disorder, and forced to draw back. Bonaparte himself then attacked me on all points, at the head of four corps of his army and of his guards. He was every where repulsed and completely beaten. He renewed the attack with his guards repeatedly, but whole columns of infantry, and regiments de Cuirassiers d'Elite, were nearly annihilated by the fire from our line, chariots from our cavalry, and at the points of our bayonets."
"I estimate the loss of the enemy at more than 25,000 men. We have captured 20 stand of colours, and made 2,000 prisoners. I shall cause this preliminary report to be followed by a detailed relation of this battle, which I shall lay at the feet of his majesty the emperor."
BANKS OF THE ELBE, March 7. (Extract of a letter.)
"The reports respecting the retreat of Bonaparte, which are current, and which gain general belief, are in some measure supported by the French accounts contained in the late Hamburg papers. The French pretend that their soldiers are under the very walls of Koningsberg (which, it is notorious, cannot stand a regular siege) yet confess that their head quarters are at Osterode, taking care to mention this place in common with Elbing and Leibstat, which are not at so great a distance from the object of their wishes; and such we must presume Koningsberg to be, where every kind of stores are to be found. We know too, from the French accounts, that, after the battle of Eylau, they were so much in want of provisions as to order a supply to be sent from Posen to Thorn."
"The reports of last night were, that the French head quarters were at Thorn; and this, it is said, is asserted in letters as well from Berlin as from Copenhagen."
"The same reports, which I cannot indeed trace to any satisfactory authority, but which obtain credit, go to the extent of affirming that Bonaparte proposed an armistice to Benningsen, which was peremptorily refused."
"It seems to be the object of the Russians, regardless of their own loss, to exhaust the enemy, whose situation thus becomes every day more critical; for surely neither the new conscripts nor the forced auxiliaries of Saxony can supply the place of the choicest troops of Bonaparte, which, according to Benningsen's report, are falling every day."
"In the mean while Germany lies open to any assailant; and it is not easy to say how small a force would not be sufficient to arouse the immense population of Germany against their enemies. The Swedes are collecting in great bodies at Stralsund; and Hussia, Hanover, and Westphalia are left almost without troops. The appearance of a British force in this neighbourhood is rather longed for than expected. In the mean while Austria maintains her commanding but dubious position."
"On Sunday the 1st, a Te Deum was commanded to be sung by the commandant of Stettin, but the order was suddenly countermanded. French officers have, it is said, confessed that the expectations raised by the victory of the 8th have not been gratified, and extreme want prevails in the French army."

Complaints having been frequently made by persons who procure Bark, and are too careless to preserve it, that op- pressive deductions are made for that which may be damaged, thereby subjecting them to the alternative of carrying it home, where it is of no value, or of submitting to what they think an imposition.

A WORK That ought to be in the possession of every MAN. THE LIFE OF GENERAL WASHINGTON, Complete in 5 volumes 8vo. with an elegant PORTRAIT, and a variety of MAPS, is now ready for subscribers, and a few copies for Sale by JAMES TUCKER.
The following remarks from a late London publication, at- test the high opinion entertained of this authentic and in- teresting work. "The publick will learn with interest that the literary mon- ument which has long been projected to the memory of the most illustrious character of modern times, is at length com- pleted. No apology can be requisite for erecting such a mon- ument to him, who was the first in war, the first in peace, and the first in the hearts of his fellow citizens: to him who was the founder of a great and prosperous empire, and whose moderation and pure patriotism challenge the imitation of all statesmen. This performance of judge Marshall has already been distinguished by the most honorable & unequivocal testi- monies; it has been hailed as an acquisition to standard lite- rature; and it has been considered as deserving, in point of execution, a place by the side of Robertson's Charles the Fifth, and as unrivaled in the authenticity of its materials, by any work in the entire compass of history and biography."
