Count d'Arco. He gained and kept possession for an hour of the town of Mirnau, but was at length defeated and driven into the mountains with considerable loss.
SPANISH AFFAIRS.
[The enlightened views of the Supreme Central Junta, are discovered in the following official documents, which tho' of an old date, we have not before that we recollect, seen them in an American paper; they are extracted by us from a Trinidad paper, which we received a few days since. The expulsion of the ferocious invaders, does not alone occupy the attention of the Spanish patriots; the establishment of a free government, by the restoration of the ancient Cortes, is worthy of the patriotism of the illustrious body who directs the affairs of the Spanish nation.]
ROYAL DECREE.
SEVILLE, May 24.
It is right that the Spanish People should close the present struggle with the certainty of leaving to their posterity an inheritance of prosperity and glory, worthy of their mighty exertions, and the blood they have shed. The Supreme Junta has never lost sight of this object, which amid the continual agitation caused by the events of the war, has always been its principal desire. The advantages gained by the enemy, for which they are indebted less to their valour than their superiority of numbers, required exclusively the attention of government; but at the same time the painful and bitter reflection was made, that the distress which the nation suffers has been occasioned solely by those salutary institutions having fallen into oblivion, which in happier times established the prosperity and strength of the state.
The usurping ambition of some, the indolent abandonment of others, had reduced them to nothing; but the Junta, from the time of its installation, solemnly incurred the obligation to re-establish them. The time is now arrived to apply the hand to this great work, and to protect the reforms which ought to be made in our administration; grounding them on the fundamental laws of the monarchy, which can alone consolidate them; and taking counsel, as has already been announced to the public, of the wise men who think proper to state their opinions.
The king, our sovereign, don Fernando VII. and in his royal name the Supreme governing Junta of the kingdom, desiring therefore that the Spanish nation may appear to the eyes of the world with the dignity due to their heroic exertions; that the rights and privileges of the citizens may be secure from new attacks; and that the fountains of public felicity, the impediments which hitherto obstructed their course being removed, may run freely, when war shall have ceased, and repair what inveterate despotism and the present devastation have destroyed, has decreed as follows:
I. That the legal and known representation of the monarchy, in its ancient Cortes, shall be re-established, to be convoked next year, or sooner, if circumstances permit.
II. That the Junta immediately occupy itself in ascertaining the mode, number and class according to which, under the circumstances of the present times, the meeting of the deputies of this august assembly ought to take place; for which purpose a commission of five members shall be nominated, who, with all the attention and diligence which this great concern requires, shall examine and prepare all the projects and plans which, after being examined and approved of by the Junta, may be employed for the convocation and formation of the first Cortes.
III. That besides this subjects, which, from its urgency, requires the first attention, the Junta extends its investigation to the following objects, in order to propose them successively to the nation united in Cortes:—The means and resources of maintaining the holy war, in which, with so much justice, the nation is involved, until the attainment of the glorious end which it has proposed to itself—the means of securing the observance of the fundamental laws of the kingdom—the means of ameliorating our legislation, of eradicating abuses which have crept in, and of facilitating its improvement—the collection, administration, and distribution of the revenues—the necessary reforms in the system of public instruction and education—the means of regulating and sustaining a permanent army, in times of peace and war, agreeably to the condition and revenue of the state—the means of preserving a marine suited to the same objects—the part which the Americans ought to take in the union of the Cortes.
IV. In order to collect information necessary for such important discussions, the Junta shall consult the superior provincial Juntas, tribunals, corporations, chapters, bishops, and universities, and shall listen to wise and illustrious men.
That this decree be printed, published, and circulated without formalities, that it may arrive at the knowledge of the whole nation.
The Marquis of ASTORGA, president.
The Royal Castle of Seville, May 22.
ROYAL ORDER.
The king our sovereign, D. Ferdinand VII. and in his royal name, the supreme central governing Junta of the kingdom, considering that the great and valuable dominions, which Spain possesses in the Indies, are not properly colonies or factories, like those of other nations, but an essential and integral part of the Spanish kingdom; and desiring to draw close, and to render indissoluble, the sacred ties which unite all the dominions of Spain, as well as to repay the heroic loyalty and patriotism of which they have given so decisive proof, at a conjuncture the most critical that a nation has ever witnessed; his majesty hereby declares, that the kingdoms, provinces, and isles, which are the before-mentioned dominions, ought to possess equal representation near his royal person, and constitute a part of the supreme central governing Junta of the kingdom, by means of the permanent deputies, from each of which that...
takes effect. In the cities of New Spain, Peru, the new Kingdom of Granada, and Buenos Ayres, together with the city of Bogota, the intendants-general of the Isle of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guayama, Chile, the provinces of Venezuela, and the Philippines, shall each possess the right of nominating an individual as the representative of the respective district. In consequence of this resolution, your excellency will take care, that in the chief cities of the vice-royalty under your command, the provincial assemblies shall proceed to name three individuals, of known probity, talents, and information, exempt from every thing which can lessen them in publick opinion, your excellency instituting into the minds of the provincial assemblies the scrupulous exactness with which they ought to proceed to the election of the aforesaid individuals; and that the electors, totally divesting themselves of that spirit of party which is wont to predominate in such cases, shall attend only to strict merit, and those essential qualities which constitute a good citizen and a zealous patriot.
The election of three individuals being completed, the assembly shall proceed, with the usual solemnity, to cast lots for one of the three; and the first individual whose name shall be drawn, shall be considered as the elective representative. The assembly shall immediately communicate to your excellency, a certified notice of the person on whom the lot has fallen, his name, title, country, age, and employment or profession; together with such other circumstances, political and moral, as may relate to him.
As soon as your excellency shall have received the certificate of the person elected, in the capital and elsewhere in your royalty, you shall proceed in conjunction with the royal council; and, after due examination of the aforesaid certificates, shall elect three individuals out of the whole, in whom the most commendable qualities unite, either from your own personal knowledge or opinion, or from publick report; and in case of difference, the majority shall decide.
These three shall be again subjected to lot in the royal council, your excellency presiding; and the first who shall be drawn, shall be held as the duly-elected deputy of that kingdom, and representative in the supreme central governing Junta of the monarchy, with express residence at this capital.
The provincial councils shall immediately after this proceed, in your and the other capitals, to give their respective powers or instructions, expressing in them the chief objects of national interest which it is desirable to promote.
The representative shall then take his departure for this capital; and of the necessary expenses of the voyage, and of his subsistence and proper appearance after his arrival, your excellency shall, with the Junta of the royal revenues, take charge, assigning to each the proper quota which they ought to pay, it being well understood that his equipment, though respectable, should nevertheless be economical; and that his salary should not exceed six thousand dollars per annum.
To the above communication, made in the name of his majesty, your excellency will be pleased to pay the most punctilious observance, taking the most special care that there be no delay in the execution of it.—God preserve, &c.
Given at the Royal Palace of Alcazar, &c. &c.

THE PUBLIC LEDGER.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 4. 1800.
We give in this day's paper all such articles of foreign intelligence as appear to us in any degree interesting. No advice could have been received in England from Spain when the Oliver Ellsworth left Liverpool as late as those already received here direct from Cadiz; of course there is nothing new from that quarter.
The publick attention is more drawn to the north of Europe, where important events are expected to occur. Although it does not appear that Austria has actually made peace, we consider it an event highly probable. The circumstance of Buonaparte's remaining with the army, the disposition manifested in the Tyrol, the north of Germany, and if the publick journals are to be credited, among the Emperor of Austria's subjects generally, are certainly against peace. What effect the landing of the British expedition, and events in Spain may have upon the negotiation said to be depending, we cannot undertake to say. The operations of the British expedition being detailed with so much minuteness, renders it unnecessary for us to make any remarks upon it. This expedition appears very popular in England, one of the leading opposition prints speaking of it, thus remarks:
"We congratulate the publick, on the prosperous and successful commencement of the military and naval operations, undertaken on the opposite shores of Holland. Nor do we desire to damp the general satisfaction, by any animadversions or reflections, calculated to diminish, or to distract from the importance of the service, and its utility.—Even though the power of the Austrian family and monarchy should, as we too much apprehend will happen, be crushed and overturned; though Trieste and Fiume should be swallowed up in the territories of France, and every possible means of sending succours by sea to Francis the Second be henceforward precluded; yet may the continent be electrified and recovered, if we can conquer, and retain, the province of Zealand. In fact, by the possession of that insular, maritime, and projecting portion of the low countries, we become a continental state, occupying that part of the German ocean, interesting and dismembering France from Holland, commanding the mouths of the Scheldt and of the Maese, overhanging the Netherlands, and formidable from our vicinity to the usurper, whose capital is on the Seine. We do not hesitate to assert, that if we can garrison the seven principal islands that constitute Zealand, Napoleon's throne may yet be subverted, and all his gigantic projects of invasion from Flushing and from Antwerp, will dissolve. But, it is not by any temporary occupation, or predatory expedition; it is not by merely destroying his fleet, or burning his dock-yards and arsenals, that we can check his progress—we must hold Zealand, as we hold Kent and Essex, in defence of his armies and his flotillas, and his utmost force. It may be so held. We mean the islands from Vorn to Cadseand inclusively, because they are all separated, though by narrow channels, from the main land. The danger of trust is not such as to prevent it. Did we not, during the late war occupy the little rocks or islands of St. Marcou, scarcely separated from the coast of Normandy, for successive years?—To this subject we shall return; but we wish previously to know that Flushing has surrendered, and to form some opinion upon the ulterior plans and intention of administration, in their present enterprise against Zealand."
The London Courier of the 8th August contains the following article—
"LONDON, August 8. A formal intimation has lately been given to the Americans at Paris, that the government of the United States must soon determine to join the French or the British in the war, as it would no longer be possible to maintain a neutrality between the two belligerent powers."
We give the article as we find it, only remarking that intelligence from Italy, corroborating the above has been received by a vessel arrived in a very short passage at Baltimore. Our readers will notice under our foreign head, the revocation of Napoleon's decrees, which relaxed some of the severities against neutral commerce; and the following article, which being from an Amsterdam paper, may be confided in, shews the suspicions which are entertained of the Americans in France.
"AMSTERDAM, July 22. The French ambassador made it known yesterday by an official communication, that no American citizen would be admitted into France after the first day of August next, unless furnished with official passports taken by them in the United States. Passports from American agents in Europe (ministers or consuls) would not avail, and the original passports from the United States were to be revised by the American agents abroad, and afterwards legalized by the French authorities, in the places through which they may pass."
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, September 26.
CONFIRMATION.
Yesterday the brig Governor Sumner, captain Hilliard, from Alameda, last from Gibraltar, which she left on the 8th of August, arrived at this port. Captain Hilliard brings Gibraltar papers containing confirmation of the news of a victory over the division of the French commanded by marshal Victor, consisting of 40,000 men. The first account received from Seville by Cadiz, at Gibraltar, on the 4th, was transmitted by an officer on the field of battle, and stated that Victor was defeated after a bloody engagement, in which the English lost from 4 to 5000 killed, and 2 general officers. The battle was near Tudela de la Rioja, 38 miles S. W. of Madrid. The same day (the 4th) an express arrived confirming the above, and added that Victor had surrendered with 15,000 men.
It is true that there was fighting along the Spanish and at Gibraltar, in consequence of the arrival of lord, and capt. Hilliard says that...
the French ambassador from England, the minister of Wellesley had arrived at Cadiz...
The French consul at Seville has been released and has arrived at...
First Report.
That a glorious victory had been gained over the combined armies under field marshals Marmont and Lieut. Gen. Sir A. Wellesley, over the Spanish army commanded by Marshal Victor...
Second Report.
By an express arrived here this day from Cadiz, "That Marshal Victor, with 15,000 men, had surrendered to the combined armies."
[These statements are preceded by gen. Cuesta's despatch, which has been before published.] In Galicia and Asturias, under the command of the Vaudals, our army is daily receiving, and the publick administration organizing. It is remarkable, that, upon their marching off, the French have done no damage either to the dock yard, or to the manufactories of muskets in Oporto. The patriotism of the Arragonese is rising higher and higher every day; their army in Tortosa is gaining more and more strength. Gerona, lately attacked by Augereau's division, set a most noble example of valour in the defence of Montjuich on the 8th, and is yet making a heroic resistance, with the reinforcements sending to her assistance have miscarried.
A new ambassador from England, the minister of Wellesley had arrived at Cadiz...
The French consul at Seville has been released and has arrived at...
NEWS FROM THE DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH.
Of the defeat of the French, and the capture of the Patriot arms, has been in circulation for several days. This intelligence has been denied from various sources. At Baltimore it was received from Ceuca, where it was announced by discharging cannon. It was received also at Gloucester, by capt. Davis, from Cadiz, to whom it was reported by Mr. Pendergrass, a respectable merchant of Cadiz. It was corroborated by accounts received by the Spanish consul in this town, in letters from Porto Rico, of the 1st September; where it was received by vessels direct from Cadiz, which were on their passages must have sailed in August. And the news of the battle, and the defeat of the French, is CONFIRMED by the Governor Sumner, from Gibraltar, which has brought the Gazettes of that garrison to the 5th August, and which contain an official account from the Congress of Seville, certified by Garay, [the Charles Thompson of Spain] which announce that on the 27th and 28th July, the combined English and Spanish armies were attacked by the French army under marshal Victor, on the borders of the Tagus, about 50 miles from Madrid; that in every attack, the French were driven back; and after two days hard fighting, were completely defeated. Thus far the Spanish official account. It is asserted, on the authority of reports from Cadiz, of the 2d August, that the loss of the British in the battle, was two generals, and from 4 to 5000 men; and that marshal Victor, with 18,000 men, had been compelled to surrender.
These last particulars require confirmation. With respect to the recapture of Ceuca, there are no positive accounts; but as the victorious combined armies were pushing for that capital on the right bank of the Tagus; as general Lari was said to be in the official accounts to have advanced near Toledo, and general Vanegas was advancing to Aranjuez, in the vicinity of Madrid, it was not very presumptuous to anticipate the speedy evacuation of that capital.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York.
Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall-Street.
PROPOSALS
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise.
FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an unexpected moment, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION: and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public.
* No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified.—The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS.
Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS.
Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS.
Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS.
Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.
Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Malsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, Chimney Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance.
I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described.
II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupier; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, or as the same to be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect.
III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property.
IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.
V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid.
VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy: and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect: and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained.
VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever.
VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured.
IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy.
X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of; and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required: and shall make oath, whether any, and what other Insurance is made on the same property; and shall produce a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or verily believe, that the fire, which they really, and by misfortune, without fraud or will practice, have sustained by such fire, was the true and just amount therein mentioned; and, if any fraud or concealment be produced, the loss will be forfeited. If there appears any fraud, or concealment, the Company will not be bound to pay the loss, or any part thereof, until full restitution is made.
XI. In case of fire, the insured shall be entitled to be paid the amount of their insurance, within thirty days after the loss has been ascertained, and proof thereof made, without allowance of discount, interest, or collection whatever.
XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor
by the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk. Feb 13.

SAMUEL COLEMAN,
Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quantity of the best
Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c.
that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Sole and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention—no disappointments—a regular bred foreman—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnished and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions only he expects custom.
He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO; all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an allowance made for that which is not; but the greatly increased price of all the materials, and the high price of labour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here.
He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see.
He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gentlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of getting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only.
A LEASE
For the eligible PROPERTY he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half years to run.
