Information Wanted of ROBERT THOMPSON, WHO arrived here in the United States frigate Portmouth, Captain M'Neal, from France, in the latter part of the year 1801. His brother, William Thompson, resides at Newcastle, upon Tyne, in England. In January 1801, the said Robert wrote a letter to his friends in Newcastle, saying, that he was going to a vessel from Norfolk, in Virginia, to Bristol, since which he has not been heard of, nor does it appear by the Custom-House books that any vessel arrived from this port at the port of Bristol during the year 1801. If the said Robert is alive, and will apply to the Editor of the Publick Ledger, in Norfolk, in Virginia, he will hear of something to his advantage. Any person who knew the said Robert, will render a great service to his friends by informing as above; if he is dead and has left a wife, or issue, by applying as above, they will be benefitted. Sept. 17.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 28, 1806.
A letter from London, by the Galen, arrived at Boston, mentions, that Manchester and Glasgow goods have risen in price, in consequence of the demand for Buenos Ayres.
Charter Election.—We sincerely felicitate the Federal Republicans, and honest men of all parties in this City and throughout the Union on the result of this election. Out of the Nine Wards, the Clintonians, notwithstanding the exertions of a host of Office-holders and Office-expectants, succeeded (and this by comparatively trifling majorities) in three wards only! Never, we believe, were there so many votes given at any of our former elections. We consider this as a fair trial of the relative strength of parties in this city, and view the result as a triumph of principle.
In our temperate, but vigorous and successful struggles, our Federal Republican Brethren have been actuated by no unworthy motives—by no selfish and sinister views. They have been guided by the wish to place our city, with its immense and multiplied concerns, under the guardianship of faithful men—of men who have the capacity, the integrity, and the industry, to manage them exclusively for the publick benefit. They have been governed by the wish to recall the warding feelings of the community to those correct principles, which gave us our freedom—which administered our government during the early years of our national existence—which formed the political creed of WASHINGTON—and which alone can secure and perpetuate the liberty and happiness of our country. May our success in this city prove a prelude to the restoration of the same principles through this state, and throughout the Union. (N. Y. Com. Ad.)
COL. BURR.
That the following article is circumstantially correct, we will not pretend to say, but there is every reason to believe it is founded on fact.—The Postmaster general of the United States is unhesitatingly mentioned as the informant, which scarcely any printer would have the temerity to do without being first certain of the correctness of his information:—
Baltimore Telegraph. "A letter is received in this place, [Sag. Harbour, N. Y.] from a gentleman of high respectability in Connecticut, which states that he, a few evenings before, had a conversation with G. Granger, Esq. in which Mr. G. stated that he had information from a certain general" at the eastward, that Col. Burr had given him the offer of second in command, if he would aid in separating the western from the eastern states. Col. Burr informed him that all the western states, except Ohio were ripe for the enterprise—that he was amply provided with provisions and merchandise, had boats building at Marietta, and could have a hundred thousand dollars in specie, at half an hours notice. Mr. Granger enquired of the aforesaid officer if he could and would certify what he had declared, and on being answered in the affirmative, he immediately forwarded the intelligence to the president of the United States."
* Not named, but conjectured to be general Eaton.
Further, and very Important.
After the above was prepared we received the annexed corroborative article. It appears that the "Scioto Gazette," containing it, was received by private conveyance at the City of Washington, and given to a printer there, which accounts for the dates being so recent—our regular mail papers being not so late by a week:
Chillicothe, Nov. 13.
IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION.
By a gentleman of the highest respectability from Kentucky, we are furnished with the following intelligence:
The United States' district court for the Kentucky district, having commenced their November session, the following is the substance of an affidavit of Joseph Hamilton Daviess, Esq. attorney general for the United States for the said district, which was made before the judge of that court, to wit:
"That the said Daviess was in possession of the most satisfactory evidence, that Aaron Burr, Esq. late Vice President of the United States, had formed an association for making war against Spain, invading Mexico, and forming a distinct empire in the Western country; that he was raising forces and purchasing up the necessary provisions and stores for that purpose.
"The said Jos. H. Daviess, Esq. accordingly moved the court, that the said Aaron Burr, Esq. should be arrested and compelled to find security for his appearance, and that a writ should be issued for compelling the attendance of witnesses—and a stop be put to all further proceedings of Aaron Burr!!" The judge took time to consider, &c.
It was reported that Colonel Burr was in Lexington at the time the motion was made, and that he had notice of the transaction 3 hours after it transpired.
From the Barbados Mercury of Oct. 18, received from our correspondent, by the Sloop Blackbird, arrived on Wednesday.
GENERAL MIRANDA.
Just as we were preparing for press on Tuesday (as we stated in that day's paper,) his majesty's brig Express arrived from Aruba, a small island off the Spanish Main, where we learnt general Miranda had retired to, from Coro.—The general's secretary having arrived in this vessel with dispatches for Rear-admiral Cochrane, we have since obtained a correct statement of the movements of that distinguished and enterprising officer; and have much pleasure in laying them before our readers, as they confirm the chief points of the former accounts of his success, and elucidate the principles and motives of his recent movements:—
The expedition arrived off Puerto de la Vila de Coro on the 2d August, and on the morning of the 3d a detachment of about 150 men under the command of colonel Count de Ruvere, assisted by a party of the marines, under lieut. Bedingfield of his majesty's ship Lily, landed and took possession of the sea Fort, a battery, and a redoubt with twenty pieces of cannon, in the course of an hour, notwithstanding they were opposed by more than three times their number.
In the evening of the same day general Miranda, with about 400 men, marched to Coro, distant about twelve miles from La Vela, and took possession of that large and rich city on the ensuing morning without any opposition of consequence. The commandant, with the government party, had compelled most of the inhabitants to retire from Coro, on Miranda's approach, and threatened, by proclamation, the severest punishments to those who should hold any intercourse with him.—General Miranda, after remaining in quiet possession of this city for several days, left it in precisely the same state he found it, and returned to Puerto de la Vela, with a view of inducing the inhabitants to return, and to inspire all parties with confidence by his moderation and friendly demonstrations. The Spanish commandant having collected a body of troops from Maryaeao and all the neighbouring towns, made his appearance with upwards of 2000 men on the Sand Hills, about two miles from La Vela, where they remained several days without daring to attack the general and his small party; but, having possession of the River (the only watering place), and the shipping being short of water, general Miranda determined on returning to Aruba, to procure supplies, and await the arrival of a reinforcement which he confidently expects from England.
The friendly disposition of the inhabitants has, in this short progress of general Miranda's enterprise, been fully established; for notwithstanding the vigilance of the government party, we are assured from unquestionable authority, that they have repeatedly contrived means to assure the general of their readiness to join him, whenever he is supported by a sufficient force to insure success, and consequently give them protection from their oppressors.
From concurring circumstances, we are almost led to believe that our government at length begin to appreciate the importance and advantages of Miranda's bold undertaking, and are now disposed to enter heartily into his views; for, independent of the demonstrations making in England for a remote expedition, probably intended to assist him, there can be no doubt that, at least, our naval Commanders in these seas already have instructions to afford him succour, as besides the respectable force co-operating with him from the windward station, Vice-Admiral Dacres has given instructions to all his cruisers to render (afloat) every assistance to general Miranda; and the Vice-Admiral's son, Capt. Dacres, in his majesty's brig Bacchante, contributed in covering the disembarkation of his forces on the 3d of August.
NEW-ORLEANS, Oct. 14.
We understand that two companies of the regular infantry marched on Saturday evening, and that captain Fergu's company of artillery, will speedily embark on board of boats from the garrison, to reinforce our army at Nachitoches. No doubt the executive of the Union, has, long before this time, given orders for a detachment of militia from Tennessee and Kentucky, as authorised by Congress. It would be unwise in the executive to commence offensive operations on our frontiers, without having a strong corps de reserve, to enable our general to avail himself of the advantages of victory, or, in case of adverse fortune, to prevent defeat from being ruinous. We beseech our government to keep in mind the immense value of this country in every point of view—the navigation of its great river is essential to the comfort, we might almost say to the existence of a great proportion of the people of the United States; and the consequence of a single defeat at Nachitoches, might be the over-running this territory with Spanish troops. We cannot suppose the enemy so totally ignorant of military affairs as to send the whole, or his force, in one corps, on a distant frontier where he expected to be attacked.—The 1500 or 2000 men under Col. Harrara at Bayou Pierre, are probably the advanced guard of the corps d'armee which may be stationed at Nagodoch or at the settlement of Trinity. With about ten thousand Kentuckians, in addition to our present force, we might fall to work with confidence.
Let it be remarked also that from the description, character and colour of a great part of the population of this country, it would be extremely dangerous to draw off too many of its militia for offensive operations. Too much security has frequently been runous to armies and countries, it is an aphorism of the king of Prussia "never to despise your enemy."
MILITARY PATRIOTISM.
We announce with much pleasure that Capt. Samuel B. Davis's company of Fusileers, and Capt. John Lynd's company of Artillery, have unanimously made a tender of their services to the Governor, to defend the rights, and to protect the liberties of their country. It may be expected, that those instances of patriotism will be generally followed throughout the country.
(Orleans Gazette.)
NASSAU, Oct. 21.
The late disastrous gales having destroyed the crops of provisions planted on the out islands, as well as those which the planters had in their barns, a very considerable quantity of corn will be immediately wanted. At present there is not a bushel of that article for sale in the whole colony; and in case some cargoes of it do not arrive soon from the American states, very serious apprehensions may be entertained.
The vessels belonging to this port which were fit to bring our supplies from the continent, are either lost, or so much damaged as to be irreparable for a considerable time to come—we cannot therefore depend upon our own exertions in this respect, because we have none left within our power at present.
We can further venture to say, that while the scarcity of provisions continue, American vessels which bring corn will also be permitted to import salted provisions.
October 24.
The United States ketch Vesuvius, Captain Leonard, sailed from Boston October 1, in company with the Etna, Captain Jones, and gun boat No. 11, Lieut. Bainbridge; No. 12, Lieut. Dexter. On the 18th, the Vesuvius separated company in a dark night, and standing in for Abaco on the 19th, a strong southwesterly current and stiff blow from south-east, set her on shore at Carick Sound Point, when she had to heave over her guns to lighten her, and got off the next day with the loss of her rudder, and put in here to refit.

LONDON, Sept. 24.
Some letters from the Continent mention, that the exile of M. D'Oubril is only of a temporary nature, and that the apparent disgrace of that minister is nothing more than a pretext for the rejection of the treaty. The real purpose of the negotiation, it is said, was to discover the magnitude of Buonaparte's views, and to avert from Austria the ruin with which she was threatened, in consequence of the retention of Cattaro. If these were the objects of D'Oubril's journey to Paris, his mission has not been altogether unsuccessful. Whatever the terms of the treaty were, we believe he communicated them to the Prussian Cabinet, as he passed through Berlin; and it is, perhaps, to their enormous injustice and treachery, that the present hostile attitude of Prussia is owing. The negotiation may also have prevented the French from entering Austria, on account of the retention of Cattaro: but we fear it has not been sufficiently protracted to enable her to derive any great advantage from the delay.

BUENOS AYRES.
Monday the 15th, there was a conference at the Chamber of the Board of Trade, between Lord Auckland, and several members of the cabinet; among whom were, Lords Grenville, H. Petty, Spencer, Ellenborough, Mr. Vansittart, &c. for the purpose of considering the trade with Buenos Ayres, of adopting such measures as are best calculated to produce the interests of the country, and of conferring on the people of the settlement commercial advantages.
The principals belonging to most of the respectable Spanish houses in the city attended, at the particular request of Lord Auckland, in order that they might assist with their opinions.
It was first suggested, that neutrals should be admitted to participate in the trade; but the disadvantages that would accrue were so clearly pointed out, that the idea was abandoned. Had the trade been thrown open in this way, it would have given to the Americans a decided advantage over this or any other country. The meeting, therefore, was of opinion, that the trade ought to be carried in British bottoms exclusively.
Lord Auckland assured the merchants, that such neutrals as had already been favoured with licences to trade to Spanish ports, should meet with efficient protection; but government would reserve to itself the choice of granting or refusing licences to neutrals in future. This point was not positively determined upon; but the prevailing opinion seemed to be, that neutrals, under no circumstances, would be permitted to trade, as it appeared to be the wish of the government to proceed on a grand scale of national advantage. One of the measures in contemplation, or rather, we may say, agreed upon, is to lay a duty of twenty per cent. on all German linens brought for sale to Buenos Ayres, which may be considered equal to a prohibition.
This is with a view of benefiting the Scotch and Irish linen trade, which is to be exempt from the above duty. The heavy duties on merchandise, with which the people in the settlement of Buenos Ayres have been for some time burthened, are to be entirely taken off, or lowered considerably, in order to encourage trade—and to insure to the natives a commercial interest, which they would never lose sight of but with regret. Lord Auckland stated, that the Board of Trade would consider of all that had been said, and would forward the result of their deliberations to Buenos Ayres, for the guidance of those who were entrusted with the government of that colony.
We must again press the indispensable necessity of stopping in the system of concession to neutrals. We cannot see any possible reason for making such concessions to the Americans, or to any other neutral power. This relaxation of our former wise system has already produced the effect of making colonial produce 30 per cent. cheaper in the ports of France and Holland than it is here. The exchange at Paris is also against us between 4 and 5 per cent. We trust that no neutral will be permitted to trade with Buenos Ayres under any circumstance.
Already the spirit of British commercial enterprise is actively engaged in preparations for commencing this new trade with South America—a trade which will take off immense quantities of our manufactures, and compensate for the restrictions imposed upon our commerce in those countries where French influence has the dominion. All is bustle and expectation in the city, and large capitals are already embarking in this new source of commercial benefit. Two vessels were put up at Lloyd's on Monday for this trade, one of which, we understand, was instantly freighted by a single house; and the proprietors of a ship, now at Portsmouth, loaded with a valuable cargo, for the Cape of Good Hope, applied to the underwriters to have their policies altered, that the ship may proceed for Buenos Ayres. We need hardly add that the request was immediately complied with: indeed, so partial are the underwriters to this new channel for improving our sources of national industry, that they are taking the policies so low as twelve guineas, to return eight, in the event of the vessels reaching their destination in safety.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 24. THE PRINCE OF WALES.
The arrival of this illustrious personage at Knowsley, the seat of the Right hon. the Eard of Derby, we had the pleasure of announcing to our numerous readers in our last publication. As his royal highness has, since that time, visited the town and port of Liverpool, we proceed to lay before our readers as full and circumstantial a detail of the interesting occurrences which this event has given rise to, as the limits of our paper will admit of.
On Wednesday morning, as stated in our last, the worshipful the mayor, with a deputation from the common council, waited upon his royal highness, at Knowsley, and, being introduced by the earl of Derby, the following address was presented by the recorder, Francis Hargrave, Esq.
"To his royal highness the Prince of Wales. May it please your Highness,"
"We the mayor, recorder, aldermen, bailiffs, and common council of the borough and corporation of Liverpool, presume to approach your royal highness with sentiments of unfeigned respect and attachment to your royal person."
"We assure your royal highness that we feel a most sincere gratification in the opportunity thus afforded us of addressing you, and we beg leave to express our grateful sense of your royal highness's condescension."
"The town of Liverpool has been uniformly distinguished by its loyalty and veneration for the house of Brunswick, of which your royal highness is so very illustrious a member; and the presence of your royal highness excites in us sensations to which those principles naturally give rise. We are impressed with the truth, that the elevated dignity of your august family, so eminently conspicuous in your royal highness, is a safeguard to the independence of this country; and your royal highness's acknowledged reverence for the constitution, justifies us in looking forward, with perfect confidence, to the maintenance of the liberties, and consequently, under the blessings of Providence, to the continuance of the happiness and prosperity of the people of these realms."
"We humbly entreat that your royal highness will be pleased to honour us with a further mark of your gracious condescension, by accepting the Freedom of the borough and Corporation of Liverpool."
"Given under our Common seal, at Liverpool, the 8th day of Sept. 1806." To which his royal highness was pleased to make the following reply:
"Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, Bailiffs, and Common Council of the borough and corporation of Liverpool."
"I entreat you to believe that nothing can be more flattering to my heart, than the warm and animated expressions of welcome with which you have received me:—The uniform and zealous loyalty, which the corporation and citizens of your populous town have always demonstrated towards the house of Brunswick, cannot fail to have made a lasting impression upon me, and I witness the proofs of its prosperity, under your happy auspices, with real satisfaction, assuring you that it will be my most earnest desire, by every means in my power to promote it."
"I hear with reverence your attachment to our happy constitution, the preservation of which forms the dearest feeling of my heart, as being the sure security for the continuance of happiness and welfare to these realms."
"To me it is peculiarly gratifying to accept the Freedom of your ancient borough and corporation, and I return you my thanks for this additional mark of your approbation."
The freedom of the borough was then presented to his royal highness in a beautiful gold box, of very fine workmanship.
His royal highness the duke of Clarence having been presented with the Freedom of this borough some years ago, the Mayor took an opportunity to inform him, that by a vote of the common council, he was requested to present to his royal highness the most respectful and sincere thanks of the corporation for his zealous and unwearied exertions in parliament, to promote the commercial interest of the town of Liverpool on various important occasions, with which his royal highness appeared much gratified.
The morning of Thursday was ushered in by the ringing of bells, and a profuse display of colours and streamers from the publick buildings and from ships in the docks and river. The royal standard of Great Britain was hoisted on the Town Hall, and produced a fine effect from the commanding situation.
Indeed of the interest excited amongst all ranks and classes of the inhabitants of this town, by the intimation that his royal highness would make his survey of it on Thursday in a publick manner, previous to his sitting down to dinner, it would be difficult to give any adequate conception. All the streets through which it was expected he would pass, were crowded at an early part of the day, and the windows filled with ladies of rank and fashion, even to the attic stories, all anxious to see the person of the heir apparent to the throne. To the great disappointment, however, of thousands, his royal highness made his first visit, not in his Barouche as was expected, but in a closed carriage, which afforded himself but little opportunity of seeing the town to advantage, and still less to the inhabitants of beholding the person of their illustrious visitor. Various reasons have been assigned for this procedure, which it would be ridiculous to dissemble, produced at the moment no little chagrin in the minds of the multitude, who were thereby disappointed of the object of their anxious expectation, and who had no certainty that another opportunity would be afforded them of retrieving their loss. It has been stated, with some plausibility, that it was more consistent with the dignity of his royal highness to make his first entrance among us in a less publick manner than afterwards; to which it may be added, that as he rode in the state carriage of the chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, it might be intended to exhibit a mark of respect to the noble Earl, whose guest he was now become; and, as his royal highness, no doubt had it in contemplation to pay the inhabitants a second visit, we are disposed to admit that there might be great propriety in his conduct. Of one thing we are extremely confident, and we believe none of our readers will differ from us in the opinion, that no person is better acquainted with that dignified conduct and deportment which become the elevated rank of a Prince, than his royal highness; and, for ourselves, we could believe that his conduct on this occasion is imputable to any other motive than a disinclination to gratify the laudable curiosity of the inhabitants of Liverpool. We cannot for our own part, however help thinking that the conduct of his royal highness in this particular instance was dictated by motives which every feeling mind must admit confer the highest honour upon him that human actions are capable of reflecting. Within the short compass of a week he had been deprived by death of two of his most intimate and valued friends, Lord Thurlow and Mr. Fox. With the decease of the latter he was made acquainted at the moment of his setting off from Trentham Hall to this neighbourhood. We have been credibly informed that his royal highness was the first to communicate the sad tidings to the earl of Derby, on his arrival at Knowsley, and that he immediately requested to be shown into an anti-chamber, where he threw himself upon a sopha and displayed the sensibility of his soul by giving vent to a flood of tears for the loss of his friend, and we add, the friend of the human race. The painful remembrance of these occurrences sat heavy on the mind of the Prince during the whole of his abode here, and produced a gloom on his spirits which was very perceptible to

those around him. That conduct, therefore, which many at the moment seemed inconsiderately disposed to censure, if viewed in this light will be found entitled to the highest praise. It has been said, there is something sacred in sorrow; it is, therefore, entitled to our respect, if not our reverence. And if we take into consideration that it was under these sorrowful impressions which sink the heart to sadness, that his royal highness condescended on his second visit, not only to exhibit himself to the full inspection of our townsmen, but to evince towards them every demonstration of his respect and gratitude for the attention shown him, we cannot but regard him as displaying the most delicate and dignified conduct that ever fell under our notice; a conduct that evinces him to be as much elevated above the generality of men in his sentiments and actions, as he is in his rank and station.
A little after two o'clock the royal party reached the outer skirts of the town, when the prince's carriage stopped at the door of the school for the blind, and their royal highnesses were conducted through all the departments of that admirable establishment. The Prince examined minutely into the various species of manufacture carried on in the building, and observed with surprise the ease and dexterity with which those unfortunate persons performed the most complicated operations. Some of them were purposely disturbed and their work put into confusion, in order to show how readily they could restore every thing to its place, and resume their operations. The royal party then ascended into the music room, and heard the Hallelujah Chorus performed by the pupils of the institution in a sublime and pathetic style. The whole of this interesting spectacle affected the Prince so strongly, that he declared he had never witnessed a scene which more warmly excited his sympathy or more powerfully demanded his approbation. He expressed the strongest anxiety for the prosperity of the charity, and permitted the future use of his name as its patron and encourager. His royal highness, on parting gave ten guineas to be immediately distributed among the pupils.
The royal party then re-ascended their carriages, and the procession moved forward along Line-street, Ranelagh-street, Church-street, Lord-street, and entered Castle-street about half past three o'clock. It then proceeded through the Exchange Buildings, which were viewed by the whole party with high admiration. About this time a royal salute was fired from the fort. The carriages then drove down Chapel-street, and along the east side George's dock, over the bridge to the south end of the Parade. Here the royal brothers, with a few of their attendants, again alighted, and the Prince, with the mayor on his right hand and the duke of Gloucester on his left, walked to the other end of the Parade thro' the Battery on the pier, and back again to their carriages. At this time another salute was fired from the Princess frigate, and the whole appearance of the river was lively and picturesque beyond all description. All the ships in the river, and a multitude of boats vying to and fro, were decorated with an immense variety of colours, flags and pendants, of every description, and the day being very fine, afforded a most novel and beautiful spectacle. The Princess frigate, was dressed out in the most tasteful & splendid style, and all the yards were manned with well looking sailors, neatly dressed and ornamented with ribbands, &c. At a distance was the Bridston Light house, decorated with all the colours used as signals at that place, and which were all displayed on this occasion.
While his royal highness was on the battery, on the pier of George's basin, he conversed for a considerable time, as did his royal brother, with the mayor and Mr. Bailiff Weston, in the most affable and courteous manner, and made many judicious and important inquiries on the subject of the port and harbour, the tides, depth of water, batteries, breadth of the pier, banks, course of navigation, pilots, light-house signals, peninsula of Wirrall, Black Rock, &c. &c. The duke of Gloucester occasionally joined in the conversation, and produced a plan of the harbour, to which he directed the prince's attention, and which his royal highness examined with much promptitude. His stay at the pier was about three quarters of an hour. The prince seemed to think a battery on the Wirrall shore, near the Rock Perch, would be desirable, to guard the haven from attacks of the enemy.
From the Parade, the carriages proceeded along the Dry Dock, through Bromfield-street, along the Salthouse Dock, passed the Tobacco Warehouse, and along the sides of the King and Queen's Docks.
In the N. W. corner of the latter, was placed, in a most eligible position, the new American East Indianman called the OROZMEZO, of Baltimore, 800 tons burthen, consigned to Mr. W. Lees, American merchant of this town, esteemed for the excellency of her materials and workmanship, beauty of her model, and symmetry of her proportions, the finest merchant ship belonging to that nation. This ship was decorated for the occasion most magnificently, and in correct nautical style, with an immense variety of flags and colours of the most lively and variegated hues, and to which, we are informed, the commanders of all other American ships in the harbour contributed, extending from the head of the foretop gallant royal, down the royal stay, to the extremity of the flying jib-boom, and to the halliards of every mast, fore and aft, from yard-arm to yard-arm, both on the starboard and larboard sides, reaching in one continual line of colours, from the sky scrapers and step royals, down to the decks without interruption. A large English ensign, in which was tastefully embroidered the Plume of Feathers, was hoisted at the head of the foretop gallant royal; and in the right hand of the figure head, an Indian Chief as large as life, and of very exquisite carved work, were placed three very large real ostrich feathers, so disposed as to resemble the Prince's Crest; in the other an Indian Wampum, emblematic of peace and harmony. The tops and yards were manned with 150 fine American seamen, all uniformly dressed in blue jackets and white trowsers, with blue ribbands round their hats, who, on the approach of the Royal Party, saluted them with three hearty cheers, which were returned by the surrounding populace, who had been collected in thousands, from the moment the decorations commenced in the morning, and were repeated on their departure. The entire of the main and quarter decks were occupied by elegant dressed ladies of the first families in town, which, added to the brightness of
* It is worthy of remark, that the Prince's carriage was the first that ever passed through the great arch of the north gate.
the atmosphere, and pleasant breeze, just sufficient to display with the happiest effect the flags and colours so judiciously arranged, conspired to make the spectacle the most magnificent of the kind, and induced the Prince to stop his carriage, and with loud admiration, express his gratification for the very handsome tribute of respect shown him by her consigne and by the sons of Columbia.
A fine African ship called the Prince William, belonging to Mr. Bolton, was also adorned in the same style.
The procession then proceeded up Bridgewater-street, and across Great George's square, to the Mayor's house in Duke-street, where a most elegant cold collation was prepared, and where his royal highness remained with the Duke of Clarence and his suit to dress for dinner, which was fixed for six o'clock.
The different corps of volunteers under the command of Col. Williams, Col. Earle, and Capt. Gaskell, together with the Custom-house corps, were all drawn out to receive his royal highness in different parts of the town.
In consequence of its having been found impracticable to fit up the suit of rooms now finishing within the mansion house, in the time required, the dinner was given at Lillyman's Hotel which was fitted up on this occasion with uncommon celerity, and in a style of magnificence unparalleled in this part of the kingdom. The entrance door, the stairs and passages, the drawing rooms, the gallery, and eating room floors, were all covered with crimson cloth: the drawing rooms were adorned with rich furniture, and lighted by elegant glass chandeliers. The extensive gallery leading from the drawing room, to the great dining room, was brilliantly lighted with five large beautiful Grecian chandeliers, suspended from the ceiling, and on each side were placed four bronzed figures on marble pedestals, holding wax lights: the windows, &c. were covered with rich crimson curtains; and the whole of this gallery produced a most striking and beautiful effect. The anti-room to the eating room was tastefully decorated with rich drapery in festoons, and lighted by a Grecian chandelier, and also by lamps in the niches, supported on elegant vases; the whole executed under the direction of Mr. Chew, Lord-street.
The eating room presented a scene of splendour difficult to describe. It was richly finished with crimson curtains to the windows, and lighted by a prodigious number of wax lights in large cut glass chandeliers and girandoles, which, added to the lights in a vast number of silver branches over the tables, and the glitter of a magnificent service of plate, elegant gilt ornaments and candelabras, which covered the whole of the Prince's table, produced an effect that certainly never was exceeded out of London. The appearance of the music in the orchestra was excluded by a well designed Fresco Painting of the arms of his royal highness the prince of Wales, with his crest irradiated. At the opposite end of the room over the entrance door, was placed the large and very excellent full length portrait of his royal highness the duke of Clarence, which was presented to the corporation by the merchants of this town.
Amidst the splendor with which the table for the royal guests was covered, the very elegant service of glass provided for the occasion, attracted the notice of the prince, and his royal highness was pleased to order a set for his own table of the same workmanship. His admiration of the manufacture had been previously excited by a superb pair of lustres at Knowsley, which, as well as the table glass, we understand were finished by Mr. John Kirth of this town, from the glass works of Messrs. Perrin, Geddes and Co. at Warrington.
The whole range of rooms, including the gallery, which was exhibited at one view, fitted up and lighted in the manner above described, was 190 feet in length, and presented a scene not altogether unworthy the attention and approbation which was liberally bestowed by the illustrious personages who honoured it with their presence.
The whole of this arrangement, as well as that of the illumination of the Town Hall and other publick buildings, were under the direction of Mr. Foster, the corporation architect and surveyor, who executed them in a manner highly creditable to his taste and abilities.
The dinner itself was declared by the prince and all the company, to be one of the best prepared and conducted publick entertainments they had ever witnessed. It consisted of every delicacy of the season which could be procured by expence or labour. In the centre of the room on a small table stood a noble baron of beef between two handsome colours of white satin, on one of which were the arms of Liverpool, and on the other those of the prince and duke of Clarence united. The fruit, ices, and confectionary, as well as the wines, were all of the first quality, and in the greatest variety.
A separate table was laid at the upper end of the room, at which the prince and the following party sat down:—
The mayor, his royal highness the prince of Wales, his royal highness the duke of Clarence, his royal highness the duke of Gloucester, earl of Jersey, earl Gower, lord Stanley, lord Oflulston, lord Petersham, sir Wm. Gerard, sir H. P. Houghton, sir John Shelley, sir Thomas Stanley, lieut. Thomas Ilesketh, the high sheriff, col. Braddyll, lieut. col. Leigh, major Bloomfield, and Mr. Heathcote.
We are extremely sorry to find that lord Derby was prevented from attending the dinner by indisposition.
Among the company at the other tables, were the following gentlemen:—
John Blackburne, esq. M. P. for the county, Edward Wilbraham Bootle, esq. M. P. col. Patten, M. P. Bamber Gascoyne, esq. Henry Blundell, esq. colonel Houghton, and all the principal naval and military officers now in this town, with a number of other gentlemen belonging to the town and neighbourhood, including the chairmen of the different commercial institutions in the town amounting in the whole to 75, exclusive of those at the prince's table.
After dinner the following toasts were given.— His majesty the king, duke of Lancaster, God bless him, with three times three—Music, God save the king .
His royal highness the prince of Wales, with thanks to his presence, with three times three— Britons strike home .
His royal highness the duke of Clarence, with three times three— Rule Britannia .
The queen and royal family, with three times three.
The commander of the North-west District, his royal highness the duke of Gloucester, with three times three.
The different members of the administration, and number of other toast followed.
The prince then gave, "The mayor and corporation of Liverpool, and prosperity to its trade and commerce."
The chancellor of the Duchy and lord lieut. of the county, the right hon. the earl of Derby, with three times three.
The high sheriff of the county.—The army and navy.—The ships, the colonies, and the commerce of Great Britain.—The members for the town.—The members for the county.—Sir John Stuart and the army under his command.—Sir Home Popham, general Beresford, and the forces under their command.—Earl St. Vincent and the Channel fleet.—Lord Collingwood and the Mediterranean fleet.
A little after nine o'clock their royal highnesses and suit left the Hotel in carriages to view the illuminations in the town, and proceeded along Castle-street to the Town Hall, from thence down Lord-street, Church-street, Tartan-street, through Williamson-square, Clayton-square, Parker-street, Hanover-street, duke-street, Rodney-street, out of town on their return to Knowsley.
On the following day a letter was received by the worshipful the mayor, from col. Braddyll, intimating that it was the intention of his royal highness to repeat his visit to this town, and that he would be gratified in the opportunity of expressing to the mayor and corporation, the high sense he entertained of the respect and attachment to his person, so highly evinced in the proceedings of Thursday. Accordingly on Saturday about 12 o'clock, his royal highness was escorted by a detachment from the Liverpool light horse, to the mayor's house, near the top of Duke-street. On this occasion the prince accompanied by the duke of Clarence, lord Stanley and lord Gower, made his entry in an open carriage, down Shaw's-brow, along Dale-street, Castle-street, Lord-street, Church-street, Bold-street, and through Colquitt-street, into Duke-street. Here the gentlemen of the common council were waiting to receive him, to whom his royal highness in the most gracious manner was pleased to express the extreme gratification he had experienced from his visit to Liverpool.
After partaking of some refreshment his royal highness set out to make a second survey of the town in an open carriage, accompanied by the duke of Clarence, the mayor, lord Stanley, and lord Gower, and followed by a number of carriages, in which were the noblemen who accompanied his royal highness from Knowsley, and several gentlemen of the common council.
An opportunity was now afforded to the inhabitants of this town to have a perfect view of the person of his royal highness, and the amplest curiosity was gratified. The carriages proceeded down Duke-street, the end of Hanover-street, passing the east end of the Old Dock; up Pool-lane, through Castle-street, down Water-street, along the Docks, up Bridgewater-street, through Great George's Square, and along Rodney-street to the Botanic Garden, where a guard of honour from the South Devon militia had been previously stationed.
On his royal highness's appearance at the garden he was received by Dr. Bostock, the president of the institution, and Mr. Roscoe, and remained there about an hour; during which, he examined very minutely, every part of the establishment; his royal highness was very much struck with the number of rare and curious plants in the garden, and expressed himself highly gratified with the general arrangements of the place, and particularly so with the elegance of the building.
There was a very numerous and genteel assemblage of company in the garden, who testified the highest demonstrations of joy at the appearance of royal visitors, and joined most heartily in loud huzzas with a large concourse of people who surrounded it, and who appeared particularly gratified by the very gracious and condescending manner in which these illustrious personages returned these testimonies of respect.
About five o'clock his royal highness, accompanied by his friends and retinue, took their leave of Liverpool, and returned to Knowsley to dinner, escorted by a detachment of the Liverpool cavalry, which halted at Prescot during the night, and at seven o'clock on Sunday morning, proceeded to attend his royal highness on his return homewards. Passing through Warrington, they accompanied him to the borders of Cheshire, where an exchange of horses being in waiting, his royal highness was pleased to dismiss them, after expressing to captain Forde his approbation and acknowledgments, in the highest terms, of their attention to him.
In addition to the numerous marks of attention and respect shown by the noble earl and countess of Derby to their royal visitors while at Knowsley, they on Saturday caused an ox to be roasted whole, in the Park. It was put down at four o'clock in the morning, was cut up at five in the evening, and distributed, with plenty of English home brewed, to the surrounding multitude, and the evening concluded with a variety of rural festive sports, such as ass-races, sack-races, &c. which occasioned a considerable fund of entertainment and diversion, and in which his royal highness the duke of Clarence was pleased to take a very lively interest. These continued till a late hour and terminated with the utmost hilarity and satisfaction to the assembled multitude.
Copy of a Letter received by the Mayor, dated Knowsley, Sept. 20, 1806.
"SIR—I am commanded by the Prince of Wales to express to yourself, and to the corporation of Liverpool, the strong sense his royal highness entertains of the very splendid and magnificent reception he has met with in your opulent town. I have to lament the inadequacy of my powers to convey to you, in the forcible language it requires, the feelings of his royal highness upon this occasion. The heartfelt satisfaction which seemed to pervade all ranks of the people could not fail to excite in his royal highness's breast the most sensible emotions of affection and regard, the impression of which will ever remain indelible. His royal highness's repeated exclamation that "this is the proudest day of my life," will I trust be sufficiently conclusive to you of the grateful sensations of his royal highness."
"I am farther commanded to request, that you will have the goodness to undertake the trouble of offering the subsequent bounties of his royal highness to the following charities of Liverpool, viz.—One
hundred guineas to the Infirmary—one hundred guineas to the Institution for the Blind—fifty guineas to the Welch Charity—fifty guineas to the Poor Debtors.
"The Prince of Wales begs that you will personally accept the consideration of his high esteem and regard; and, I have the honour to remain, &c. (Signed) "B. BLOOMFIELD!"

WHO HAS FOR SALE,
That pleasant place BELL VIEW.
It contains TWO HUNDRED Acres, lying on the lower end of Barrett's Neck, Nansemond county, between Nansemond River and Chuckatuck Creek, fronting Newport-News, Hampton Roads, and is about 14 miles from Norfolk by water. There is on the land two good Dwelling Houses, one of them a two story frame house, 30 feet square, with a Kitchen, Wash House, Smoke House and Dairy, a large new Barn and Stable, and a Carriage House, a Spring House, and a never failing Spring. The other a new Dwelling House, a Kitchen, Quarter, & c. with a large Garden newly built of the best materials, and a good Stable. The land lies high and level, and is mostly covered with shells: it has a ditch and a fence from Nansemond to Chuckatuck, which prevents stock from going off or coming on the land; and is one of the best places for stock or equal to any in the country. The price will hardly exceed the worth of the building, on the place if applied for soon. The payment will be expected in cash, as the terms will be remarkably low. tf

LAND for SALE.
The Subscriber wishes to sell his Plantation, called
BARN ELMS,
Lying on the Pankank 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-House, consisting of two buildings of brick, covered with cypress, connected by a covered way, one of which has in it two commodious rooms, and a very spacious one, with an excellent cellar beneath, of three rooms, and a vault—the other has in it four commodious rooms, with a store-room and several closets—a kitchen and laundry of brick, covered with cypress, with two rooms below stairs, on each a brick building covered with cypress, about 30 feet by 20, with two apartment below, and one above, one of the lower ones serving as a dairy, a wooden lairy with a dry well under it, a small-house a stable of brick covered with cypress, and lately done up in the best manner—a house for carriages and other purposes, 42 feet by 20, new framed of good oak, and covered with cypress, 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 well as most of the buildings will be during the fall) with a small barn, to which another is about to be added 40 feet by 20; a spacious falling garden, with a good exposure, on which much care and attention have been bestowed, in order to render it desirable (with good effect) and enclosed principally with cedar posts and cypress pails—Also a variety of choice fruit trees.
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, who 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 in his residence, it lying in a situation to preclude intrusion, though on the navigable waters of the Pankank, 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 sheep'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 deer and foxes in the neighbourhood, with snipe in their season, and an innumerable stock of patridges 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 unhealthiness of the situation, it being on the contrary, one of the most healthy perhaps to be found on our outer waters.
I deem it unnecessary to say any thing 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 Capohosick Ferry, and in the neighbourhood of Mr. William Jones, and Thomas Fox, Esq.—Also, 750 acres, lying in the county of King and Queen, near the New Dragon Bridge. Carter B. Berkeley. Barn Elms, Oct. 8. Lawsw 258
