A small, but Valuable FARM for Sale. THE SUBSCRIBER owns a Farm of about 200 acres, in the County of York, which he is disposed to sell—it lies nearly half way between the towns of York and Hampton, and is bounded on its southern side by the main road leading from Hampton, through York and Williamsburg to Richmond. It would therefore be a good stand for a Tavern or Store, or the Shop of a Mechanick; the soil is every where fertile, and in some parts highly so: and perhaps no land produces, from its nature of soil and other advantages, with more certainty to reward its cultivator. It lies near a Water Grist and Saw Mill, and within about two miles of a good publick landing. The river on which this landing is established, is remarkable for the fine quality as well as the abundance of its Fish and Oysters. Upon the upper part of the land, there is a small Dwelling-House, in which there is a tenant for the present year; but the house is of little value; there are no other buildings on the land. Mr. Guerard Robinson, who resides near it will show it to any one disposed to view it, and either he or Capt. Mallett Told, of Smithfield, or Mr. Richard Young, of Warwick Town will treat for the sale of it, or application may be made to Merit M. Robinson. Smithfield, October 18.

RAYMOND GOTIER, is also by birth a Frenchman, 26 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches high, grey eyes, black hair, light complexion, by trade a potter, speaks very little English. Whoever will apprehend the said deserters, and deliver them to any officer in the service of the United States, or on board the frigate United States, shall receive the above reward, or Ten Dollars for either.

The National Intelligence of the 8th inst. says— Lieut. Howell, the bearer of dispatches from France, arrived in this city on Friday. We do not learn, that the information brought by him indicates any material alteration in the relations between this country and France.
This very concise statement of our relations with France, from the government paper, does not agree with the accounts which the leading democratic papers have amused, or rather abused their readers with, for some months past. It has been insisted that all matters were amicably adjusted, nay the basis of a treaty as agreed on, has been published.— To say that the editors of these papers believed what they published, would be a charitable indulgence, which under existing circumstances ought not to be extended to them. They knew well that Buonaparte would not relax in the system he had adopted, but it was necessary to carry on the deception as long as possible.
Our Affairs with France. I have had repeated conversations with an intelligent gentleman who came passenger in the Wasp, and who had resided long in Paris, which confirm me in the opinion I have for some time entertained, that nothing can be done with France. Our destiny was settled on the banks of the Danube at the battle of Wagram. From that period, no negotiation between the U. States and France, could even be entered upon, without first agreeing, as a preliminary to come to a rupture with England; sometimes urged upon us, under pretence of uniting with France and her allies, to restore the freedom of the seas; and sometimes peremptorily demanded in direct terms. In the first interview between H. Clarke and Armstrong, after the defeat of the Austrians, the former began with asking, "Sir are the United States prepared to maintain their rights against Great Britain?" "Sir, said Armstrong with becoming spirit) that is a question, which, as the representative of an independent nation, I certainly shall not answer." "Then sit there is an end of our correspondence."
As soon as Buonaparte has settled his affairs in the north; as soon as he has concluded that destructive treaty with Austria, which the democratic presses are so eager to announce, then will his policy turn towards us. Having England only in his hands, he will no longer think it worth his while to temporise with us, even in the manner he has done; his council of prizes will no longer suspend their condemnations; the king's warehouses will be opened, not, however, to restore the property to the rightful owners, but to dispose of it in market, and lodge the proceeds in his majesty's coffers.
I presume that Mr. Madison has been willing to keep affairs with England, in precisely the old posture till he could hear, once more at least, from France, and receive his return dispatches by the Wasp. Those dispatches have come, and if they are faithful, will open his eyes to truths he might, from a little reflection have been perfectly convinced of, had he only turned his eyes towards Austria and Spain. Those dispatches will inform the President that his ambassador did not even forward any communication to the emperor in consequence of his last instructions; because, (to use his own expressions in his letter of August 28th, 1808,) he had "the most solemn conviction that any new experiment, made at the present moment, in official character, would certainly be useless and probably injurious."
As a pretty good evidence that Mr. Armstrong has at length determined in earnest to come home, I am informed that he has had all his furniture packed up ready to be put on board at the shortest notice, and now lives in ready furnished lodgings.
Yet all expectations of any arrangements with France are worse than idle. Let Thomas Jefferson appear at Richmond and try to keep alive publick prejudices by giving his French toast, "The Freedom of the Seas," if he pleases, but let any further attempts to coax and wheedle Buonaparte by his successor in hopes to beguile him into such terms as he may venture to lay before the people of the United States with any prospect of their acceptance, may as well be abandoned. To be sure a bargain with France would lose the Smiths 400,000 dollars as one of them confessed at a late publick meeting, for Buonaparte holds that amount in his warehouse to be sequestered or not as he comes into his views or not; and these Smiths have a powerful influence in the cabinet—"Aye there's the rub." N. Y. Ev. Post.
A subject of triumph and exultation to the friends of Buonaparte, that the arms of Great Britain have not made greater progress in reviving the invaders of Spain. Employed as they have been in co-operating with the cause of patriotism and national freedom, it is to be regretted, that greater success has not crowned them. But he who recollects the vicissitudes of our revolution and the gloomy prospects which often obscured the prospect of its happy termination, will not too hastily consign the Spaniards to the dominion of Buonaparte. Other events appear to be breaking out in Europe, which will at least favour the defence of the patriots, and perhaps permanently cement their interests with those of Russia and other great nations.
The malignant revilers of the unhappy Spaniards assert, that the troops sent by G. Britain into Spain have produced no injury to the French and effected no benefit to the allies. But let it not be forgotten, that if the British forces had not entered Spain, many of the troops and some of the eminent commanders, who have been kept at bay, would have been detached to the Danube. This must have created such a preponderance as would have decided the battle of Aspern, and long ago sealed the conquest of the Austrian states. The aid given to the Spanish patriots may, therefore, be considered as the salvation of the European continent. The alliance also of the British general towards Madrid, by breaking the Atlantic provinces of Spain from the protection of the French, secured the naval port of Ferrol with the fleet it contained from the power of Buonaparte. The latter result must be considered as of the highest importance, tho' it has not yet been announced.
In our paper of yesterday, we recorded a fact which is equivalent to a statement of proof, that Holland is not an independent country and does not even preserve the appearance of it. The king of Holland, as Louis Buonaparte is nicknamed, having liberated some American vessels, their clearance from the custom houses was prevented by the interposition of the French ambassador, who clapped them as French prizes, and as the custom houses of Holland are administered by Frenchmen and protected by French soldiers, the French ambassador is omnipotent.
We do not appeal to this fact for the novelty of its complexion, but for its recent occurrence and the compactness of the proof it furnishes of the absurdity of exempting Holland from the non-intercourse regulations, whilst they are kept in force against France. From the treatment received by the Chevalier Onis, we are left to conclude, that should a similar puppet be placed upon the Spanish throne in the person of Joseph Buonaparte, the "contest for the government," being concluded, Spain will again become a sovereign power and entitled to send ambassadors and other publick ministers.
The trade, which ought to be particularly encouraged, because it is most natural and beneficial, is that which carries our domestic productions to market, and brings back supplies for our own wants. This might be extended by inducing other nations to lay aside the discrimination they make in duties to the disadvantage of our navigation. It is believed, that this would be no very difficult task to accomplish. With England the arrangement was made some years ago of removing all discriminations on both sides, and an act of parliament was passed to sanction it, but congress, fearful that our navigation could not enter into a competition with that of Great Britain, if both were put upon the same footing, and alarmed perhaps by the novelty of the proposal, declined its sanction. Perhaps it would not be so easy to accomplish the matter with France, whose want of ships and seamen, when a peace takes place, would force her to the adoption of protecting expedients, until they should be restored to some degree of respectability. [16.]
It is a little remarkable, and must strike the minds of Americans with some force, that not a single editor of a leading democratic paper in the United States ever saw America until since the termination of our revolutionary war, except the editor of the National Intelligence, which, base and prostituted as it is, in many respects, is more American than those conducted by the foreigners whom Napoleon has sent among us. For this reason it has been more than once severely reviled and ridiculed by the Aurora. The editor has been styled "Silky Milly Smith," for not going with more boldness and with a less hawking step into every measure which was calculated to promote the interests and to meet the wishes of France.
On the contrary, there is not, so far as I know a single editor of a Federal paper in the United States who was not born and educated in the country, and must therefore be supposed to feel a lively interest in its honour and prosperity, as well from uninterupted habit as from the ties of consanguinity and friendship, and from the certainty that he must stand or fall with it. U. S. Gaz.
BOSTON, Nov. 3. In the Amazon which arrived yesterday from Malaga, came passenger a seaman who was impressed on board a British man of war on the Gibraltar station.—He was released with a number of others, in consequence of an order for the discharge of all impressed Americans, and left Gibraltar Sept. 8.
NEW-YORK, November 4. The ships Savage, Waite, and Ann, Reynolds, which both arrived here yesterday in 28 days from Liverpool, have despatches from Pinkney, our minister at London, for the secretary of state. Tho' the passages of these ships are extremely short, yet they bring nothing later than before received.
Capt. Hillard, from Havana, informs the editors of this Gazette, that many vessels had arrived from the United States, after the shutting of the port, and had petitioned the governor for permission to enter; and it was generally supposed, that as soon as several Spanish ships of the line that lay there waiting for a wind, had sailed, the port would be again opened for the admission of lumber; but that the trade allowed to Americans would be limited.
We learn from Capt. Colfax, from the same port, that the governor had dispatched a vessel to the Junta of Seville, with a representation of the dangerous consequences of shutting the port against the Americans, if the measure was irrevocable; and hopes were entertained, that on the return of the despatch vessel, the ports would be again opened.
There were at Havana two British frigates and two Spanish 74's, from La Vera Cruz, laden with dollars and indigo, to sail for Spain the first fair wind.
Our marine list for the last two or three days has exhibited a singular contrast.—Vessels have arrived in 22 and 28 days from England, and 30 from Baltimore, Virginia, and Carolina!
PHILADELPHIA, November 4. The Spanish government schooner Junta of Seville, arrived at this port yesterday, with money and dispatches for the Spanish minister Chevalier Onis.
She sailed in company with the St. Ramon, and St. Leandro, of 68 guns each, carrying fourteen millions of dollars in specie, for the government, and loaded with Cochineal and Indigo, on publick and private account. They convoyed the schooner to the American coast, and thence proceeded on their voyage to Cadiz.
LONDON, October 5.
Orders were issued on Tuesday for discontinuing the preparations that were making on board 8 of our men of war in the harbour of Portsmouth, which it is supposed from the manner in which they were about being fitted out, were intended to be sunk in the Scheldt.
October 6. The French 50 gun ships were on the 18th all at sea.
The British Navy, according to the returns collected up to Saturday, comprised one thousand and fifty-seven vessels, of which 252 are of the line.—Of these, 94 of the line are at sea, with three 50's, 180 frigates, 140 sloops, 79 brigs, and 147 smaller vessels.
Parliament is not expected to meet until after Christmas. The finances of the country, fortunately for ministers, are in a flourishing state, that they will be able to defer accounting for the multiplied disasters of the last four months until that period. The customs, it is asserted, have produced within the present year, upwards of a million more than they did in the corresponding period of the last year. The stamp duties also have been productive in an equal proportion; while, from the improvement in the collection of the property tax, that great source of revenue is become more abundant and less oppressive than heretofore.
The following is given as an accurate statement of the cause of the duel between lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning.
"So long as the Easter recess, it was submitted by Mr. Canning, and given as his opinion in a meeting of the cabinet council (from which lord Castlereagh was absent) that he considered it absolutely necessary that a change should take place in the war and colonial department. He assigned powerful arguments in support of that opinion, and suggested that no one was so fit to be the successor of lord Castlereagh as the marquis Wellesley. All the members of the cabinet then present concurred with Mr. Canning, who was, perhaps, the only advocate on that occasion for the immediate disclosure of these sentiments to lord Castlereagh.—The others, influenced by a regard to his lordship's feelings, and having the recollection of the then recently concluded inquiry into East India patronage fresh in their memory, agreed to postpone the delivery of their avowed sentiments until the end of the parliamentary session. This proposition had Mr. Canning's unqualified approbation.—That period arrived, and Mr. Canning again urged the Duke of Portland to endorse the proposition submitted to the cabinet. His grace, still convinced that the necessity had not been diminished, was at a loss to devise the most delicate and prudent means of conveying the sentiments of the cabinet to lord Castlereagh,—but after some days consumed in deliberation, lord Camden was selected as the best calculated for the disclosure. At this juncture, however, lord Castlereagh, and most of his majesty's ministers, were busily occupied in the construction and arrangement of the expedition to the Scheldt, that delay was again deemed prudent; and no communication was made to lord Castlereagh until Mr. Canning, on the 6th instant, tendered his resignation. On this occasion the duke of Portland contrived to communicate the original sentiments of Mr. Canning, with the concurring opinion of the cabinet, to lord Castlereagh, who, after a short deliberation, wrote to Mr. Canning a letter of considerable length, in which he charges him with unfair and ill-eral motives, accuses him of hypocrisy, demands the accustomed satisfaction, and names the place of meeting."
"To this note Mr. Canning is said to have returned a laconic answer. He laments that the information given to his lordship must have been derived from a very partial source; and that, had his motives been fairly inquired into, it was impossible they could bear the construction so unjustly put upon them. After declining all further explanation, Mr. Canning agrees to the meeting on Putney Heath."
LIVERPOOL, October 6. In consequence of the negotiations for peace between France and Austria continuing so long without being brought to a successful close, rumours have for some days been afloat of the likelihood of a renewal of hostilities between those two powers, and of the Russians and Prussians uniting with the latter against France; and those rumours in part seem strengthened by articles which are taken from the London papers of this morning.
Insurrection against the French.
INSPRUCK, August 15.
The insurrection in Tirol, the Voralberg, &c. is again at a height, notwithstanding all the force of the royal and imperial armies sent to quell it. The notorious Andrew Hofer has his rendezvous in Mount Brenner, and has had the impudence to reply to the royal mandate by which he was ordered to repair to this city, that "if he came it would be at the head of 10,000 sharpshooters." Military execution is ordered on all the stragglers who have not passports. The revolt appears to be general from Trent to this vicinity; and the exasperated rebels defend themselves, and annoy the French and Bavarian troops, with rocks and blocks, launched from the cliffs and heights into the vales. Several corps have been attacked by them. Gen. count Van Arco was killed by them the 13th, and his body has been carried to Munich. The insurgents on the plains have been disarmed. French troops are advancing on the mountainers from Italy.
MUNICH, August 17.
On the 8th the duke of Dantzig marched, with a corps of the Bavarian army, to Stenzingen, to support gen. Royer, who had been pressed by the insurgents in the mountains between Stenzingen and Brixen: But circumstances compelled the marshal to retreat over the Brenner, and on the 11th reached Inspruck. On the 13th the rebels having assembled in great numbers round Inspruck commenced a general attack. The battle lasted all day and the insurgents were driven back with the loss of 1000 killed. The next day the Bavarian column stationed at Rottenbach attacked the insurgents, and prevented them from occupying the bridge over the Inn, at that place. The insurgents continuing in numbers, the Duke sent his wounded to Kufstein, and marched to Schwartz.—On the 15th Gen. Derot marched to cover the Duke's retreat through the Upper Inn Thal.
Aug. 19. The Duke has marched [retreated] from the Tirol to Salzburg.
PARIS, September 13.
Letter of His Majesty the Emperor and King. "Count de Hanneburg, our war minister, has sent accounts which have been laid before him, containing the following assertions.—The governor commanding at Flushing is stated not to have executed the order which we had given him, of opening the dykes and inundating the island of Walcheren, as soon as a superior hostile force should have been manifested on the shore. He is moreover accused of having surrendered the place which he had entrusted to his care, not only before the enemy had crossed the moat, and when no breach had been effected in the ramparts which remained whole, and in consequence had not been stormed, but even when the trenches of the enemy were at a distance of 150 toises from the town, and he had still 4000 men in arms capable of doing duty.—In a word, Flushing is stated to have surrendered thro' the first effects of a bombardment. Should all this be true, the governor would be guilty; and it would remain only to ascertain, whether his conduct ought to be attributed to treachery or to cowardice."
"We send you this letter, in order that, as soon as you shall have received it you would collect a council of inquiry, which will be composed of count Asseville, senator; count Rampon, do; vice admiral Thevenard, and count Semon, 1st inspector or general of artillery. All the pieces which will be found in the offices of your ministry, and those of the navy, interior, police, or any other department, respecting the surrender of Flushing, not only as far as they may relate to its defence, but to any object which may concern our service, shall be conveyed to the council, to be laid before them, with the result of this inquiry."
"This letter having no other end, we pray God that he may have you, count de Hanneburg, in his holy keeping."
"Given in our imperial camp at Schoenbrunn, Sept. 7, 1809. (Signed) NAPOLEON."
The minister sec'y of state, H. B. MARET. Signed IMPERIAL DECREE.
"At our Imperial camp of Schoenbrunn, Sept. 3. Napoleon, emperor of the French, king of Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, &c. &c. "We have decreed, and do decree as follows:— "Art. I. Our cousin marshal Serrurier, senator, is appointed commander in chief of the national guards of our good city of Paris. "II. Our ministers of the interior and of war are charged with the execution of the present decree. (Signed) NAPOLEON. "The minister sec'y of state. "H. B. MARET."
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 8. His majesty's answer to the addresses of the different public bodies of this day, on the eve of his anniversary, was dignified and impressive. In noticing the late attack on the island of Zealand, his majesty said, "The invasion which has afflicted them could have been foreseen; but the grand struggle on the banks of the Danube, so gloriously terminated, by France and the emperor my brother, imposed upon us the necessity of undergoing that danger, while the great interests of Europe required the momentary absence of our troops, who in Spain and Germany have covered themselves with so much glory."
NAPLES, Sept. 2. Whilst some English and Sicilian troops alarmed the coast of Gallipoli, another corps of the enemy made a descent at Policastro. Upon receiving the news, the garrison of Naples and the environs set off immediately for Salerno. It is said the king himself sets off to night to direct the attack. It is not possible that the enemy at this season should hazard a long stay on the coast; yet it is possible, from his movements, that they may make their appearance again either in the Gulph of Venice, or against Ischia and Procida.
PARIS, Sept. 19. Letters from Cassel, received at Frankfort on the 12th, state, that the king of Westphalia has set out for Hanover. It is thought that his majesty will go to Brunswick, and perhaps to the coast, in case it should be menaced with invasion.
Accounts from Antwerp, dated the 15th instant, state, that the Prince of Ponte Corvo, (marshal Bernadotte) set out that morning for the Fort of Batz.—Marshal Dumouveau arrived on the same morning at Antwerp.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 12. The inhabitants of Zirzecer, and of the Isle of Schowen, have received, with every mark of joy, the troops sent by marshal Verheul.
With the exception of the isle of Walcheren, all the islands of Zealand are occupied anew by the Dutch troops. Marshal Verheul has manoeuvred with his squadron to cover and facilitate the passage of the troops.
ANTWERP, Sept. 15. The works for strengthening this place are continued. The battery called Imperial is completed. It would reduce to dust any thing that dare approach it. The Dutch have entered a battery in South Beveland. They found this island totally abandoned by the English, and have picked up only about a dozen stragglers, whom they made prisoners.
DIJPE, Sept. 14. The brave Capt. Antoni Ballidar, commanding the privateer Le Pourvoyeur, fitted out at Dijpe, has attacked and taken, after an obstinate engagement, the English cutter John Bull, with ten cannonades from 12 to 18 pounders. The privateer and her prize have entered the roads. In this affair capt. Ballidar had only one man killed. The English had 14 killed and wounded. Capt. Ballidar was gallantly supported by his crew.
BERLIN, September 4. The state of the expenses contracted by our city in the late war has been published. They amount to the large sum of 72,260,000 six dollars; about three millions of which have been borrowed, and two millions furnished by the inhabitants. The city is now obliged to pay about 2,300,000 six dollars. To meet this sum, the new magistracy has invited the citizens, in the most pressing manner, to furnish him with it by means of a voluntary loan, the interest of which will be paid.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 19. The peace with Sweden appears to be very nearly concluded. The count of Romanow, minister for foreign affairs, set out ten days since for Fredericksheim, the ancient boundary between Russian and Swedish Finland, where the Baron de Steingard, the Swedish ambassador, was waiting for him.
The emperor is so completely recovered from the effects of a fall which he had in his carriage a fortnight ago, when he received a slight hurt to his arm and leg, that his majesty has already appeared on horseback. The court still resides at Peterhof.

The English squadron continues to remain on the coast, but has not ventured to commit any act of hostility.
COHEN'S ADVICE. September 5. Signals have been made from the coast of Ireland, that 15 or 16 English frigates are on their way from the North Sea, and proceeding towards the Baltic. We cannot divine what is the object of so extraordinary an expedition at this advanced season of the year.
The sale of an immense quantity of India muslins, which took place here a few days ago, and which were taken in English prizes, attracted a great crowd of buyers. The value exceeded 600,000 six dollars.
The new arrangements of our government with respect to neutral shipping, have already received the trade of Tomminger in an astonishing manner. Upwards of 50 American vessels have recently entered that port, each of their cargoes being not less than 100,000 dollars. These vessels take continental produce in return. The price of corn falls every day.
From a London Paper. THEATRICAL HUBBUB. Or John Bull versus John Kemble.
Our readers are aware that there have been for many years past, only two regular winter theatres in London; those of Drury Lane and Covent Garden. Both these theatres were lately burnt down; and while the embarrassments in which the various proprietors of the former were involved, leaves their theatre, like their finances, in a confused heap of ruins—Covent Garden Theatre has been rebuilt in about nine months, and opened on the 18th inst; when in the true spirit of monopoly, the prices of admittance were raised. This it seems, John Bull, was determined to resist, and a systematic opposition has been accordingly made, every night since the opening of the theatre by a sort of peaceable rioting, which, it is conceived, does not warrant the interference of the police. It consists of a confused din of every species of noise—hissing, hooting, whistles, bugle horns, cat calls, banging, and shrieking, which nightly overpowers the dialogue and song of the actors and reduces them to muteness.
Great numbers of persons have been nightly sent into the house by orders, to form a party in favour of the managers; but the greater part of these have joined the people, who seem resolved, in spite of constables and Bow-street officers, to be sovereigns at least in the theatre, the noise has been diversified by innumerable boxing matches, in pits, boxes and galleries, and many champions from each have been taken into custody. The crowd insist and persist still—and only as the reduction of the prices; but they do not like the arrangement of private boxes, and the suggested intention of refinancing upon the drama by the introduction of Italian singing with Madame Catalina. Among the labels and placards scuttle about the house the London papers give the following:
 "Britons! be firm, and conquer."  "No Managers, Riotous Rabbits!"  "The Voice of the Public is the Voice of Justice."  "Steady, Boys!—Steady!"  "Make no noise—John's head itches !"  "No CATALANI!—DIXONS, for ever!"  "HARRIS will—but KEMBLE won't."  "Boxes, be firm!"  "KEMBLE, remember the Dublin Tinker! "  "JOHN KEMBLE versus JOHN BULL."  "No advance—no Private ( alias Annual ) Boxes!"  "No Bow-street officers!—Persevere and succeed!"  "No Stage Trick!"  "Old Pay—or no Play."  "A little common sense, Mr. Kemble—No advance." 
A representation of Kemble suspended from a gallows—motto, "A cure for my itches !" Mr. Kemble has frequently addressed the house, proposing a reference of the contested points, but the audience seem determined upon the reduction of the prices; and if they persevere, they must ultimately succeed. Among the jeux d'esprit which this contest has given birth to, is the following:
This is the House that Jack built. These are the boxes, let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
These are the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
This is the Cat—engaged to squall to the poor in the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
This is JOHN BULL with a Bugle horn, that hissed the Cat—engaged to squall to the poor in the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
This is the Thief-taker shaven and shorn who hissed the Cat—engaged to squall to the poor in the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
This is the Manager full of Scorn! Who RAISED THE PRICE to the people forlorn, And directed the Thief-taker, shaven and shorn, To take up John Bull with his Bugle horn, who hissed the Cat—engaged to squall to the poor in the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
The contest, which had been continued nightly, far from being subdued, seem to have acquired additional strength and consistency on Saturday, when the curtain rose amidst a full chorus of cat-calls, rattles, trumpets, whistles, &c. Among the many new placards displayed were—"British merit forever, and no Catalani!"—Another displayed a coffin with the epitaph.
Here lies the Lady of New Price, an only child and base born, who died of the whooping cough.
"John Bull, John Bull, be merry, bold and resolute, Fear not to show Disapprobation, But freely keep your noisy station, For none of Kemble's burns, Can GULL a British Nation." "John Kemble alone is the cause of this riot, When he lowers his Prices, John Bull will be quiet!"
At length, after a hubbub of some hours, Mr. Kemble proposed from the stage, that the points in dispute should be investigated by a committee of disinterested persons, and all their decisions be known the house should be shut up—and in the mean time he assured the audience that Madame Catalani's engagement at that house was at an end. This declaration and arrangement was received with the shouts of victory and here the hubbub ceases.
THE PUBLICK LEDGER. FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 10, 1809.
THE LATE DISPATCHES. We are informed that our government has received dispatches from Mr. Pinkney, dated the 5th of October, and from Mr. Armstrong as late as the 20th of September. By the letters from Mr. Pinkney it appears that he expects no alteration in the measures of Britain towards this country will be brought about by the late change of the British ministry. Indeed there only seems to be a change of men; those who have been brought in being of the same politics of those who have gone out.
Mr. Armstrong's dispatches appear to hold out no prospect of a favourable adjustment of our differences with France. On the whole we think Mr. Madison will have nothing to lay before congress which can cheer the gloomy prospects now before our merchants. Unless, indeed, the propositions from Mr. Jackson are such as can be conceded to on the part of our government. What Mr. Jackson's offers are, we know not, but let them be what they may, we are satisfied that nothing more will be done about them until after the meeting of congress. ( Alexandria Daily Adv. )
Mr. Jackson left Georgetown on Saturday last, on a visit to the northward. It appears that the negotiations between him and our government are suspended for the present. ( Ibid. )
A letter from Paris, received at New York by the Wasp, says, "Mr. Armstrong gives it as his settled opinion that the United States will be compelled to take part either for or against France, in the war with England. Mr. A. said he should certainly return in the spring."
The rumours which were scattered a few days ago of a treaty being made by general Armstrong, are destroyed by the intelligence received by the Wasp. Our affairs seem to remain nearly in the same situation, that they have been for some time past. Whilst hopes were entertained by Buonaparte, that he could accomplish a peace with Austria, his aspect towards us corresponded in austerity with the settled enmity of his heart. Now that he perceives a new contest with more powerful foes to be inevitable, he may probably resume deceptions appearances of amity; but he will not pledge himself by any act, or if he does he will hereafter petulantly disown the obligation. Mr. Armstrong has had too much experience of the trifling and profligate versatility of the French court, to entertain any expectation of a favourable issue to his applications. According to the above extract, his opinion disclosed in one of the documents respecting French affairs, secreted by the late executive, but which was intercepted and published last spring, continues to be that Buonaparte has definitely taken his ground, and that according to Champagne's note, we must take our election to enter into the war for or against France.
This sentiment has pervaded all our diplomatic transactions with France since the Berlin decree; nor could our executive ever have felt the hope of a change, otherwise than through the medium of a misunderstanding with England. Armstrong himself seems to have been placed in an unavoidable situation, exposing him to make solicitations, which he anticipated to be fruitless, and subjecting him to humiliations and insults from an overbearing and irritable tyrant. That he has not retired must be owing to his not being able to introduce the executive to give him a successor, if we may judge from the frequent reports we have read of his anxiety to come away. ( Fed. Rep. )
It will be remembered, that the editor of the N. York Evening Post lately commenced a suit against an impudent fellow, who attributed to his paper the utterance of a recommendation to his country, "to take shelter under the British cannon." The false hood was repeated here by at least two of the democratic papers, neither of which has thought proper to correct it, by publishing the means taken by Mr. Coleman to vindicate himself; nor could any thing like candour be expected from them. But as they and their party admit, by the use they have made of the imputation, the disgrace it would affix upon the individual entertaining such a sentiment, if it were true, we present them with the following extract from a writer in the Democratic Press:
"No longer can the most distant notions of the earth, look with indifference on the march of the Eagles of France; whether they will resist and be devoted, or cower under its wings for protection, is a question which they must all determine."
In this passage we have a naked exposure of the hearts of your French Tories. They wish us to beg upon our bended knees, protection from France, denouncing the penalty of destruction if we do not. Yet this is the party, which dares to talk of independence and national rights, whilst they are prepared to surrender all to Buonaparte. ( ibid. )
PHILADELPHIA, November 6. THE ARMISTICE.
It has generally been believed, that the armistice agreed upon between the Austrian and French armies, was the puillanimous work of the emperor Francis, contrary to the wishes of the arch duke Charles, and that it was, in fact, the reason of his relinquishing the command of the Austrian forces. What then must be the astonishment of the publick to find, from the following articles copied from late London papers, that it was the sole work of the arch duke! It is very extraordinary and inexplicable. Time alone can resolve it.
KRAISIE, July 27. Extract of a letter. "His majesty the emperor had quitted the army the 4th of July, to go to Hungary, where his intention was to place himself at the head of the insurrection assembled in Comora, to put in activity by his presence the immense resources this kingdom and the good disposition of the natives afford, and in the mean time to act offensively on the rights of the Danube, while the arch duke was to attract the attention of the enemy on the opposite side. It was only on the 15th that the emperor had been apprised of an armistice as incredible in itself given its form, and that the arch duke, according to the powers he was entrusted with, without waiting the ratification of his Imperial Brother, had already given the orders for its immediate execution. In the
meantime Napoleon had been apprised that he desired to come from Vienna to Presburg. The emperor who had only taken the armistice because in his subjects a solid and durable peace, though he could not refuse to listen to the overture, and he relied in consequence to avail himself of the unexpected armistice, to know the real intention of the enemy. His majesty ordered in the mean time that all the means for the continuation of the war should be continued with an increased vigour and activity; and above all, those that related to the formation of a new army in Hungary, whose command his majesty is determined to take himself. He is finally resolved not to agree to any conditions whatever, which could endanger the future security of his monarchy. He depends with great confidence upon the support of his faithful subjects, whose zeal and boundless devotion to their sovereign, and spirit manifested on every occasion, form a remarkable epoch in the history of nations."
August 4. "Head quarters of the Austrian Army. The emperor has already concentrated under his own command an army of 200,000 men. There is besides now there a considerable corps destined to occupy the fortresses of Moravia and Bohemia, and to preserve these interesting provinces from a hostile invasion. The corps is even strong enough not to be confined to a mere defensive position, but to act offensively in case the French forces should attack in preference the emperor's own army. "His imperial highness having signified his wish to resign the command into the hands of the emperor, his majesty could not refuse him, and put himself at the head of his army surrounded himself with persons deserving, by their principles, merits and talents, the general esteem and confidence. In the mean time, it seems, that his majesty was sensible he could not refuse to permit that conferences for a peace should be entered into. They have taken place since the armistice, and are to be continued at Raab, or its environs. But nothing shall be able to make his imperial majesty deviate from the principles and firmness which have hitherto been the basis of his conduct."
