ARISTOTLE.
Magna anima contentio adhibenda est in explicando Aristotile. CICERO, FRAG. BRIT. Frequentabunt ejus domum optimi juvenes et veram viam, velut ex oraculo petent. Hos ille formabit, ut vetus gubernator, litora et portus, et quid secundis flatibus quid adversis ratibus poscat, docebit, et communi ductus officio et amore quodam operis. QUINTIL. To proceed orderly in this (i. e. the study of politics) the foundation should be laid in enquiring into the ground and nature of civil society; how it is formed into different models of government; and what are the several species of it. Aristotle is allowed (to be) a master in this science; and few enter upon the consideration of government without reading his politics. LOCKE. Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethicks afford not only afford the most perfect system of Scientific Morality, but exhibit also the powers of the most compact and best constructed systems which the human intellect ever produced upon any subject. DR. REYNOLDS.
PROPOSALS,
BY GEO. L. GRAY, OF NORFOLK, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION OF Aristotle's Ethicks and Politicks; COMPRISING HIS PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY. Translated from the Greek; and illustrated by introductions and notes, a Critical History of his Life, and a new Analysis of his Speculative Works. BY JOHN GILLIES, LL. D. &c. Historiographer to His Britannick Majesty for Scotland.
CONDITIONS.
The work shall be comprised in two large octavo volumes, on a good paper, and a new type to be cast on purpose. The price to subscribers will be four dollars for each volume, in boards; payable on delivery of the work. With the last volume shall be given a list of the subscribers; and no greater number will be printed than may be subscribed for. * * * Persons who obtain ten subscribers, and render themselves accountable for the amount, shall be entitled to one copy gratis; and for any number above ten a commission of seven and one half per cent. The usual deduction will be made to Booksellers who subscribe for ten, or a greater number of copies. † † † The work will be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers to defray the expense shall have been obtained. N. B. The price of the English Edition, in two volumes, is Eighteen Dollars, the subscriber to the present edition saves ten dollars of that sum; and the Editor engages that it shall rival or surpass the imported publication in elegance. Any remarks upon the character of the STAGIRITE as a Philosopher and a Politician, or any praise of his writings on Ethicks and Government, might, on the part of the Editor and in this place, be regarded as an unprofitable supererogation. He stands confessed and universally acknowledged, the greatest master of the Science of Politicks; and few modern writers on the subjects of which he treats, have passed him by without avowing their gratitude to him, and their admiration of his profound researches. By the citizens of the United States, a people possessing more civil liberty than has ever before been enjoyed by any nation on earth, it is hoped that an author who is of all others most capable of instructing them in the nature and blessings of such a government as they have instituted, whose remarks result from a close examination of the theories of upwards two hundred commonwealths, will be received as a most welcome guest. To a people who, by the nature of their civil institutions, are individually liable to be called upon to regulate the affairs of the community, he will prove an useful companion and monitor. Too high an opinion cannot reasonably be entertained of a work which LOCKE declares to be necessary to every man who would understand the nature of politics; of a Philosopher to whom the learned GROTIUS assigns the most exalted rank, "whether estimated by the perspicuity of his method, the acuteness of his distinctions, or the weight and solidity of his arguments." Of the translation little farther need be said, than that it is universally allowed to have been executed with fidelity, and certainly with much clearness and elegance. The learned author of the Pursuits of Literature, not otherwise much inclined to favour the Historian of Greece, says "I think we are much indebted to DOCTOR GILLIES for offering to the publick an English translation of the two most important treatises on MORALITY and POLITICKS which antiquity can boast. No man can read these works without being wiser and better."
Reflecting upon the great utility of such a work to a people who make politics so much their study, the Editor deems it unnecessary to load these proposals with recommendatory quotations, from the vast crowd of civilians and philosophers who voluntarily endeavoured to discharge the debt which every man to science owes to this universal teacher. It is under the hope of rendering a service to his fellow-citizens, independent of local motives, that he has undertaken the weighty task of republishing a work so important: and he hopes that his success will fully justify him for attempting, at this time, to give to the world a cheap, and he pledges himself that it shall be a correct edition of these most useful of the labours of ARISTOTLE.

Latest Foreign News.
Received by the brig Flora, Capt. Benthall, from Liverpool.
LONDON, December 1.
We received yesterday morning the last of the Hamburg mails due, which brought us letters and papers to the 24th ult. According to letters from Paris, General Sebastiani, the famous French spy, has set out for Naples and Florence with dispatches of great importance, relative to the determination of Buonaparte to force the two Sicilies and of Etruria, into a war with this country, as well as the sovereigns of Spain and Portugal. An article from Vienna states, that his Sicilian majesty has ordered a recruiting of every 30th man in his kingdom, able to carry arms; but whether to resist and combat the invaders of his kingdom, or to unite in the cause of the Usurper of his family Throne, is not mentioned. We apprehend, however, that this unfortunate prince must become an ally of French Regicides, or see his kingdom a prey to their fury.
The epidemic fever at Leghorn unfortunately has not ceased; cordons of troops are established, and other measures of precaution are taken, to prevent this disorder from extending its ravages to the neighbouring states.
The reports circulated on the continent, the details of which are contained in the French papers, are well calculated to induce a belief that important constitutional changes are immediately to take place in the Helvetic and Ligurian Republics. The heads of those governments are, it appears, to assume a higher title than that which they severally bear at this moment. They are to approximate closer to the Emperor of the French, the sun of their political system, and to glitter, we presume, in the borrowed radiance which flows from the fierce and intolerable effulgence of his meridian splendour. They may, in all probability, be elevated to the rank of Regal lacquies; indeed, we have heard that Buonaparte has been endeavouring to persuade the head of one of the Electorates to assume the title of king. His compelled deference to his Prussian majesty may induce him, perhaps, to retard the commission of this new insult upon the hereditary monarchs of Europe.
Extract of a private Letter from Hamburg, dated November 23.
"The French have demanded from Lübeck a loan of 300,000 rix dollars; but as it appears from the liberation of Sir George Rumbold, that the king of Prussia will exert his influence in favour of the circle of Lower Saxony, the city has been emboldened to refuse it."
The persons who robbed the English courier, Mr. Wagstaff, are well known; the principal was the commandant at Ratzeburg. There were besides two gendarmes, and five common soldiers."
The king of Prussia, in his remonstrance against the arrest of Sir George Rumbold, and demand of his release, is said to have declared, "That he considered all the foreign ministers, residing at Hamburg, as accredited to the Circle of Lower Saxony, of which his Prussian majesty is one of the principal members, as much under his special protection, as if they were accredited to himself." It is added, that when the Russian and Swedish ministers, alarmed by that aggression for the safety of their countrymen, residing in the same quality in that city, demanded of the Prussian minister of state, baron Hardenberg, whether any farther violation of the laws of nations were to be apprehended in that imperial and neutral territory? they were assured in positive terms, "that any future attempt on the part of France, against the diplomatic agents, accredited to the Circle of Lower Saxony, would be resented by his Sovereign."
"It, (says a Dutch Journal) there is any dependence to be placed on private letters from Paris, written by persons who seem to have an interest in the welfare of this country, the burdens of the war, which have fallen so heavy on us, will be somewhat lightened."
December 3.
Mr. Frere, it is stated, had a conference with the Minister for Foreign Affairs on the 13th, two days subsequent to the time at which he was reported to have left Madrid. An embargo was expected to be laid on British vessels, but no such measure had been enforced at the date of the latest accounts.
The arrest and release of Sir G. Rumbold are now fully explained, by the new plot imputed to Mr. Taylor, our minister to the elector of Hesse. The Corsican hoped to find something in the papers of the baronet, which might give a colour to this fabrication; but, disappointed in that hope, he makes a merit of releasing him in compliment to the king of Prussia. We might appeal to the absurdity of the pieces in the Moniteur , as evidence of their falsehood; but we have still stronger proof. Can any man suppose Mr. Taylor could be weak enough to engage in such a plot, so recently after the business of McClellan v. la Touche ? Mr. Taylor could not forget that the advanced posts of the French banditti were at Munster, in Hanover, only five German miles from Cassel, the capital of the elector of Hesse; and that he was, as it were, within the grasp of the tyrant who had recently driven Mr. Drake from Munich, and Mr. S. Smith from Stuttgart. We know, besides, from our private correspondence, that this pretended plot is looked upon as a state trick even in Paris. The crafty Talleyrand hinted, in a late diplomatic circle, that the emperor of France would be gratified by a congratulatory address from the diplomatic corps, which last March set an example of meanness even to French slaves and sycophants; but, a majority of the foreign ministers declined that honour, until they should have received instructions from their courts. It was, however, expected, that all the military and civil authorities at Paris would come forward handsomely on the occasion. The planting manufactory, and the system of violence against the laws of nations, do not appear to be confined to the eastern hemisphere? the marauders of Buonaparte cover the whole globe. The Moniteur states, that the French have seized some evil disposed persons in the Danish island of St. Thomas and carried them to Guadalupe, there to be disposed of according to law. This extraordinary aggression is not accompanied by a single comment in the official paper. Some Three-fingered Jack , in the West-Indies, was, no doubt, leagued with the Thugs in Europe, against the life of Buonaparte, over whom the hand of justice has been so long suspended.
Another farce, of a much more entertaining kind, the coronation, has been put in rehearsal, and will be performed on the 2d inst. Upon the 18th last, forty state coaches went in procession to the church of Notre Dame, in the same order as will be observed upon the day of the show. We have given an account of this cavalcade; of the dresses of the emperor and empress; of the ornaments of the church of Notre Dame, in which the ceremony will be performed; and of the various other preparations in Paris for this grand spectacle. These details in a great measure anticipate the report of the ceremony, which will probably fill the pages of the next set of Paris papers. They are taken from the Paris papers to the 23d, which we received last night.
STATE PAPER.
NOTE OF MR. JACKSON, DELIVERED TO THE PRUSSIAN MINISTRY, Oct. 28.
The undersigned, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of his Britannick majesty, addresses himself to his excellency the baron de Hardenberg, minister of state, and of the cabinet of his Prussian majesty, upon the subject of an event, which, for the importance of the considerations which it involves, does not yield, in the smallest degree, to the most revolting acts with which the history of civilized world has made us acquainted; an event which, however affliction it may be to acknowledge, is not without example in the annals of the French revolution, and which cannot be described in its proper colours, without recalling that period, so fertile in crimes and misfortunes of every species. It has, however, been reserved for the First Consul of the French republic, to give to Europe the mournful spectacle of repeated violations of those laws and usages which, till his own time, have governed the correspondence of nations.
He has caused to be carried off, by an armed force, in the night, between the 24th and 25th of this month, Sir George Rumbold, his Britannick majesty's charge d'affaires to the circle of Lower Saxony, resident in the city of Hamburg. This minister has been seized in the very territory of that city, and afterwards carried off to Harburg, previous to some farther disposition of his person.
The minister of state and cabinet is already informed in detail of the circumstances attending this enormity; and the undersigned would feel wanting in what he owes to the sentiments of frankness and generosity which distinguish the sovereign to whom he has the happiness of being accredited, if he were to take pains to excite an indignation, which, doubtless will kindle of itself, at the relation of what has taken place.
But the undersigned finds himself compelled, by the duties of his ministry, to claim the intervention of his Prussian majesty, in his qualities of director of the circle of Lower Saxony, and of friend and ally to his master, interested like himself in the maintenance of the rights of nations, and of publick justice.
The undersigned congratulates himself upon having already received, very recently, in his conference with M. le Baron de Hardenberg, such positive assurances of the protection which Prussia would grant to the neutrality and independence of the north of Germany, and especially of the Henseatic towns, that he is able to appeal with perfect confidence, in the name of the king his master, and in the name of the publick law, outraged in the person of his minister, to the equity as well as the power of his Prussian majesty.
He claims the intervention of that monarch with the French government, to obtain the liberation of Sir George Rumbold, as of a minister accredited to his august person; and he is happy to think, that, under such happy auspices, an end will at least be put to a state of things, which, if suffered for any length of time, would throw back the relations of the states of Europe to the times of the most barbarous nations.
The undersigned is eager to renew to the baron De Hardenberg, the assurances of his high consideration.
(Signed) F. J. JACKSON. Berlin, Oct. 28, 1804.
SPEECH OF THE KING OF SWEDEN TO THE STATES OF POMERANIA.
When the States of Pomerania had assembled at Stralsund, on the 4th of October, his Swedish majesty met them in person, and addressed them in the following speech:—
"I have caused you to be convoked, my faithful states, in order to express to you, in the customary manner, through my governor-general, and the government, my sentiments and will with respect to certain important occurrences. But as I have now the pleasure to see you assembled in my presence, I wish likewise to have the satisfaction to signify to you personally, my views and intentions, and the grounds of the measures I have taken. This, my resolution, is founded on the confidence which ever ought to obtain between the sovereign and the subject."
"In the course of the preceding year occurrences took place, which with reason, attracted general attention, on account of the danger to which the North of Germany was exposed; and I immediately took the most effectual measures to place the fortifications of this city in a proper state of defence. This situation of affairs has hitherto, by no means, changed in a favourable manner; but, rather, circumstances have arisen which require redoubled precaution for the safety of the country. As therefore, the wants thus produced, demand extraordinary supplies, I have sought the necessary aids in every way, and with the assistance of Sweden have supported the credit and resources of my Chamber of Pomerania. But as that kingdom is already burdened with extraordinary taxes, and must encounter others, for publick purposes, the present happy condition of this country, without the assistance of the states, may be changed into a very critical and dangerous situation. From this cause I apply to you for aid and support in the present necessity."
"Convinced that my faithful states will perceive and acknowledge the justice of my proposal, I have only to add, that I rely with full confidence on a speedy, explicit, and satisfactory answer which the state of affairs, especial on the approach of the unfavourable season of the year, urgently demands. The states are, at least so I expect, fully convinced, that I require their support only from the most important reasons. They must have seen and known, that I have refrained as long as possible from making a proposition which the wants of the state now render indispensably necessary."
"As I cannot doubt that my subjects repose the most entire confidence in me—that all the aids which the necessities of the state require, will be employed by me to the true benefit of the country; it is a pleasure to me hereby to permit that one or two deputies from among you shall have inspection in what manner the aid granted is applied to the publick advantage, in order that you may be the more convinced of my care for the publick welfare."
"I would be superfluous to admonish you to do that which the safety and honour of the country require, since you are all animated by the same sentiments."
"I conclude by assuring you, generally and severally of the continuance of my royal favour and good will."
December 5.
We this morning received Paris papers to the 28th ult. The report which was circulated of the coronation of the Corsican having been again postponed, appears to be without foundation, and it is most probable that that burlesque ceremony took place last Sunday. The pope arrived at Fontainebleau on the 25th. The mode of his reception appears to have been the result of a studied plan, and affords the strongest proofs of the intolerable insolence of the usurper. When they approached each other on the road, the pope, notwithstanding his dignity, his age, his infirmities, and his fatigue, was forced to alight, for the purpose of embracing the man who had boasted of being the destroyer of the Christian Religion. He was then desired to ascend one of the imperial carriages; but the Moniteur is very particular in informing the publick that Buonaparte got into it first .—After his holiness had arrived at the castle, he was allowed but a short time for re-
pose, when he was under the necessity of going to wait upon their Imperial Majesties and to make his humiliation more complete, he was forced to attend them separately. One can hardly conceive a more affliction scene of degradation, than an aged sovereign, a venerable pontiff, the head of the Catholic Church, and as the members of that church style him, the Successor of St. Peter, and the Vice-gerent of God upon Earth , humbly waiting in the anti-chambers of a sacrilegious usurper and a cast-off mistress, for the honour of paying his respects to them. It is mentioned, we suppose as an instance of great condescension in Madame Buonaparte, that when the pope withdrew from her apartments, after having had the honour of an audience with her, she attended him to the door of the anti-chamber.
The papers that were stolen from Sir George Rumbold are at length to be published. After the interval of a month Talleyrand and his accomplices have been enabled to fabricate some thing which they think may answer the purpose of the French government to publish. It is not to be doubted, if there had been any thing exceptional in Sir George's papers, that the French tyrant would have given them to the world immediately. What he and his ministers may devise it is impossible to conceive; but it is evident that he does not care what falsehoods he imposes upon mankind.—He may think that the British government will not degrade itself by noticing his malignant fabrication, or that they will have effected their purpose long before any authentick contradiction confirms the anticipated judgment of the world, upon the probability of French invention, falsehood, and malevolence.
The Moniteur of the 27th, contains a Senatus Consultum , declaring the result of the votes given by the French people, on the question for conferring upon Buonaparte the Hereditary Imperial Dignity. The number of votes is stated at 3,524,254, out of which 3,521,675 were in the affirmative. In this number is included, as acknowledged in the Process Verbal annexed to the Senatus Consultum , 400,000 soldiers, and 50,000 sailors; and it may easily be conceived what a number of votes 400,000 Bayonets would procure.
It is with the utmost pleasure that we acquaint our readers that captain Colville and all his officers arrived yesterday at Yarmouth. They were discharged upon their parole by the Dutch admiral Kikherth, who behaved to them in the most attentive and humane manner.
The principal intelligence received by the Hamburg mail of yesterday is, that the Grand Seigneur has given way to the intrigues or to the menaces of France, so far as to solicit the French ambassador, general Brune, who was to quit that capital on the 13th October, to remain till farther explanation can have taken place. The Grand Seigneur, it is said, is ready to recognize Buonaparte's imperial dignity as soon as he has communicated with Russia; and, in the mean time, another power, Prussia it is understood, is to employ its good offices to prevail upon Buonaparte to consent to the delay. It is supposed, however, that some assurance will be given that, within the time fixed, the recognition shall take place. If the whole dispute between France and the Porte turned on this single point, there might be reason to suppose that the affair would be accommodated. But, in fact, Constantinople is the ground on which France and Russia debate their different pretensions. It will not be now sufficient that the Porte recognize Buonaparte, while ample and unrestrained facility is given to Russia to carry on her establishment in the Mediterranean. The Porte is evidently afraid of offending either France or Russia, and the latter will not be very desirous of promoting a reconciliation between France and the Porte. It seems not improbable, therefore, that Russia may oppose obstacles to the recognition of Buonaparte, as there appear to be some stipulations between the two governments on that subject, and thus the Porte may reluctantly be compelled to declare for the one or the other. Russia will no longer accept as a mere favour, nor suffer to be withdrawn the advantage she enjoys of a free navigation through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. On the other hand, this is a point from which France does not seem willing to recede, and even Austria, to a certain degree, is supposed to make common cause with her respecting it.
December 6.
Sir John B. Warren, our late ambassador to the court of St. Petersburg, landed at Harwich, yesterday, with his suite, upon his return from that mission, and immediately set off for London.
The communication with the Continent by Husum is interrupted by the ice. The last packets with the mails from that place and Hamburg, are therefore to proceed no farther than Heligoland.
A private letter from Lisbon, dated Nov. 22, says "Mr. Frere and Mr. Hunter have certainly left Madrid, and no hope now remains that a war with Spain can be avoided. The dispatches sent home by the Diana were, it is said, very warm and hostile. As yet there are no movements here demonstrative of any change of system; but we cannot indulge the hope of being permitted to remain neutral, as on former occasions."
The master of a Swedish vessel, which passed through admiral Russel's fleet off the Dutch coast on Tuesday last, and which had left the Texel the day before, stated to some of the fleet that 50,000 additional French troops were then marching into Holland, and it was believed they were destined to take possession of Hamburg, and to proceed thence to Swedish Pomerania. It can hardly be credited, however, after the disposition which the king of Prussia has manifested respecting the protection of the Hanse Towns, that such can be the destination of this body of men.
December 8.
We understand that the ultimatum of the Spanish government has actually reached ministers. The greatest secrecy is observed with respect to the substance of it; nor is it probable that the final determination of the court of Madrid will be made publick until Mr. Frere's arrival from Lisbon. Duplicate of that gentleman's dispatches were yesterday morning brought to the secretary of state's office by Mr. Smith, the messenger, who came home in the Diana packet. Dispatches, transmitted by a Spanish messenger, who was a passenger in the same vessel, were also received by the Spanish minister. Government is said to be in possession of intelligence from Madrid, of a date three days later than that contained in the private letters received by the Lisbon mail.
The dispatches received by the Spartiate from Rear-Admiral Cochrane, leave no doubt of Mr. Frere having quitted Madrid on the 14th ult.—It seems he demanded his passports on the 10th, and intended to leave that city on the 12th, as we long ago stated; but when this intention became publickly known, the general dissatisfaction that prevailed among the people induced the Prince of Peace to make new overtures to our minister, which we have reason to believe, would have proved satisfactory to our court, which entirely upset every thing that the court of Spain had acceded to. The poor Spaniards had no choice between going to war with England, and receiving a French army to overturn their government. Thus has the scourge of Europe succeeded in involving another nation in the calamities of war, and what is still worse, in the misery and disgrace which never fail to attend the steps of a French con-queror.
Admiral Cornwallis anchored in Torbay on Thurs-
day, with ten sail of the line in company, the wind at W. and S.W. As, however, it has appeared to hang to the eastward the two last days, we have no doubt that he has again sailed to resume his station off Brest.
The French flotilla, on Thursday, outside Boulogne, consisted of about sixty sail of praams, luggers, brigs, and other non-descript classes of floating bodies, which may do well enough to amuse the slaves of the usurper, in Boulogne harbour, but which will never see the coast of England, except towed at the stern of some of our cruisers.
This morning a Crim. Con. cause came on in the Court of King's Bench, between two brothers, Dennis against Dennis. The facts were praxed on the part of the plaintiff, and no witnesses were called on the part of the defendant. The Jury returned a verdict for the former, with five thousand pounds damages.
PARIS, Nov. 16.—In the harbour of Nantes and L'Orient, as well as at Havre, the Swedish vessels have been put under an embargo.
HAMBURGH, Nov. 23.—Letters from Paris assert, that Buonaparte is straining every nerve to persuade the king of Prussia to enter into an offensive and defensive alliance with him. This attempt, however, there is every reason to believe will prove abortive. His Prussian majesty has, within these few days, assured the magistrates of Lubeck of his protection in resisting any demand recently made in that city for a loan of 300,000 dollars.
BELGRADE, Oct. 24.—Paswan Oglou is rendered in a manner desperate; the Porte having discovered all his designs, by carrying off one his secret emissaries of the name of Roussias, who had been sent by him with important dispatches to Jaffa. Roussias was beheaded at Orsowa, and his head sent to Constantinople.
Errata.—In our last, 18th line after the quotation from the Evening Post, for "where" read "whence"—first line 2nd col. for "see no pride", read "feel no pride".

INSURANCE AGAINST FIRE.
Phenix Fire Office, London, May 1, 1804. THE numerous and destructive Fires which have happened within the period of the two last years, in different parts of Europe and America, (more particularly in the town of Liverpool in England, Gothenburg in Sweden, and Norfolk in Virginia,) render it proper to remind all persons who possess property in the United States of America, of the utility of insurance. The Phoenix Office of London, is an institution sufficiently known by the very large and important losses it has paid, in consequence of the extensive conflagrations in the cities and towns of America to such sufferers as have had the prudence to protect their property by insurance.—The Phoenix Company deeply regret that, owing to the experience of serious and continued losses, upon the buildings and stores in the timber towns, no alteration nor remission on such risks can be made at present—but the Directors hope, from the increase brick and stone buildings, and other improvements of security, that the period is not far distant, when they will be able generally, to mitigate the rates of insurance in North America; and they confidently presume that the promptitude and honour with which they have uniformly fulfilled their extensive engagements, have unequivocally established the soundness, credit and good faith, of the Company. The Phoenix Company grant insurances upon buildings, goods, and ships whilst in dock or in harbour, from loss or damage by fire, upon the most moderate and equitable terms; and persons desirous of securing their property by policies from this company, are requested to transmit their orders to their correspondents in Great Britain.
