FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE, Price 57 1-2 Cents, A few Copies of LETTERS, Under the signatures of SESEX and of A FARMER. Comprehending an examination of the conduct of our Ex- ecutive, t'wards France and Great-Britain, out of which the present crisis has arisen, originally published in the North American. From the Editor's Preface. Great public exigencies, in free governments, have al- ways called forth great virtue and talents. Thus the passing occurrences of the day prove, that the lapse of twenty-five years has not turned our nation aside from that salutary vigi- lance of their rulers and jealousy of their rights, without which our government could not have been established nor continued. Should we survive the fraud, prejudice and power, which have conspired for our ruin, we shall not omit it more to the timely illustrations of the sage, and the heroic devotion of the patriot, than to native good sense and unalterable at- tachment to liberty in the body of the people. We have here another proof, that the American nation is as conspi- cuous for its intelligence, as for its virtuous system, and its un- alterable adherence to national freedom. The late attempts upon both, have electrified the whole country. The aged, the retired, the timid, the wavering, and the deluded, have all been brought into the ranks of that phalanx, which is determined to save the country. By such exertions, it must be saved! Among the pens which have powerfully contributed to this conservative alarm, is the able and ingenious author of the subject letters. His fascinating candour and vigorous argument, have chased away the sorcery and premeditated delusion, which the hand of power has covered its sinister purposes and our danger. These exposures of our public affairs, in a conjuncture which has involved the life and death of our enviable political constitution, will be found ad- mired. The crisis which called them forth, is almost as interesting, than the dignity of the writer is venerable, and his capacity exalted. June 7.

The intelligence of the 24th of May from London, received at Boston via Halifax, is so very extraordinary, that we find considerable difficulty in yielding our belief to it. It is to be remarked that what is said to have passed on the night of the 23rd of May in the House of Commons, is nothing more than the London Editors abstract of what he says was said by Lord Henry Petty and Mr. Canning; the remarks of those members would have been more satisfactory. Notwithstanding we must yet doubt the accuracy of this intelligence to the extent stated, we cannot treat the whole as a mere fabrication, it is stated with so many circumstances, that some thing must have occurred, the nature of which has in some measure served as a foundation for the account now before the publick. If true as stated, either Mr. Erskine has intentionally acted against his instructions, or has ignorantly mistaken them, or the British minister has authorized a negatiation which he has afterwards denied. To suppose Mr. Erskine to have acted against his instructions from design, is an imputation upon his honour and understanding, that he does not merit? For what minister would thus act; with a certainty of being soon exposed and disgraced, against the supposition that Mr. Erskine has mistaken his instructions, there are too many objections, which being stated with great perspicuity in the remarks which accompany this intelligence, need not be repeated by us. The last supposition, that Mr. Canning would give instructions, and deny that he had given, such is equally improbable, because the instructions would be demanded, and under such circumstances no minister dare refuse them. The consequences would be inevitable, and the disgrace of Mr. Canning and his associates in power unavoidable.
We must confess that we should be very sorry to have a confirmation of this intelligence, because it must produce a state of things, which will be injurious to the best interests of our country. The measures which were rescinded by this negotiation, were never such as met our approbation, but they were nevertheless the measures of our government, and when enacted into laws, commanded our obedience and support, we should therefore hold in detestation a government which by artifice and chicanery, that would have disgraced any of the predatory states of Barbary, had imposed upon the confidence of our government. Before however we adopt this opinion of the British government, as applicable to the case under consideration, we deem it our duty to wait until we have more authentic information upon the subject.
It does not appear by what conveyance the account of the negotiation reached England; the arrival of the Rosamond is not noticed. This intelligence was not in London on the 22nd of May, but by this account it must have been there on the 23rd by one o'clock, as appears by the meeting of the merchants with Lord Bathurst, stated in the account now received. Now we consider it highly improbable, that intelligence of this importance, should be officially acted upon, in so few hours as must have elapsed after its arrival, that is between the 22nd and 23rd of May at the hour of one o'clock. This, with some other circumstances brings the veracity of this information into question.
If contrary to our hopes and expectations, the British government have authorized this negotiation, of which the stipulations on our part have been complied with, and refuse to comply with the stipulations made by their minister, then there is an end of all further confidence in the present administration of that country, and must render any further negotiations with that government extremely difficult, if not impracticable, for such an instance of abused confidence, is without an example.
British Negotiation. —This subject has already been noticed by us, and our opinions expressed.
We were at first inclined to doubt the correctness of the information, but there are too many corroborating circumstances, to permit us now to doubt.
We do believe that this negotiation has met the disapprobation of the British government, and that the expressions imputed to Mr. Canning, or others similar to them, have been used by that minister.—If Mr. Erskine has exceeded his instructions, the fault is his and not that of his government, but upon this fact we offer no opinion.
It is said in some of the accounts, that although the British government disapprove of what their minister in this country has done, and mean to recall him, that nevertheless the engagements made by him with our government, will be observed. We do not see any thing in the remarks imputed to Mr. Canning, which is repugnant to this. Mr. Canning is made to say, that Mr. Erskine has acted contrary to his instructions, and that what he had done would not be "approved by his majesty." The convention in Portugal was disapproved by the government of Great-Britain, yet it was punctually observed in all its parts. In the same manner, and for the same reason, the British government is bound to fulfil this engagement made by Mr. Erskine.—The United States have performed all the stipulations made on their part, in confidence that neither the government of Great-Britain, nor its accredited agent, would deceive them.—The arrangement made between Mr. Smith and Mr. Erskine, differs from treaties which are negotiated, where the conditions are to be complied with at a future day.
MARRIED. —At Smithfield, on Sunday evening, Mr. JAMES TUCKER, of the house of James and Thomas Tucker, Merchants of this Borough, to Miss ANN TODD, daughter of Matthew Todd, Esq. of Smithfield.
because in the year 1805, he did not comply with a requisition, addressed to him on the part of the Austrians. The Bavarrians will no doubt give a minute and faithful account of the acts of wanton cruelty committed by the Austrians in this country, that the memory thereof may be preserved by their most remote posterity, although it is extremely probable that this was the last insult which Austria will be able to offer to the Allies of France. The Austrians have endeavoured, both in the Tyrol and Westphalia, to incite the inhabitants to rise in rebellion. Austria has raised numerous armies, divided into corps like the French army; her troops are moving by forced marches, to imitate the French troops—her generals are publishing bulletins, proclamations, general orders, all in imitation of the French; but the ass is not enabled to a lion because he is covered with a lion's skin. The long ears betray the ignoble beast. The emperor of Austria has left Vienna, and on his departure published a proclamation drawn up by Gentz, in the style and spirit of the most ridiculous performances of that kind. He is gone to Scharding, a position extremely well adapted for a sovereign who neither wishes to be in his capital to govern his dominions, nor in the field, where he is known to be merely an incumbrance and dead weight. When he was informed of the result of the battle of Eckmuhl, he judged it prudent to leave the Banks of the Inn, and retire into the interior of his dominions. The town Scharding which is now occupied by the duke of Rivoli has suffered much. The Austrians on their retreat set fire to their magazines and burnt half the town which belonged to them. They had no doubt some presentiment of their future fate, that what belonged to Austria shall no longer belong to her. It appears by this bulletin, that the Austrians are evacuating Tyrol, in consequence of the victories gained by our troops in Bavaria, and of the signal advantages obtained by general St. Hilaire in the Italian part of the Tyrol. We understand that marshal Davoust is immediately to advance into Tyrol with a considerable corps of French troops to restore tranquillity and order in that country, and open a communication between the German and Italian armies.
FORUTH BULLETIN.
Head-quarters, Brannau, May 1. "On the crossing of the bridge at Landshut, brig. gen. Lancour, gave proofs of valour and coolness.—Col. Lauriston placed the artillery advantageously, and contributed much to the happy issue of this splendid affair. The bishop and the principal public functionaries of Salzbury repaired to Burghausen, to implore the clemency of the emperor for their country. His majesty gave them his assurance, that they should never again come under the dominion of the house of Austria, they engaged to take measures for recalling the four battalions of the militia, which the circle had delivered and of which a part were disposed and fled. The head-quarters are to be this day removed to Reid. At Brannau, magazines were found with 200,000 rations of biscuit, and 6000 sacks of oats. The circle of Reid had furnished three battalions for the militia, but the greater part of them had returned again to their habitations. The emperor of Austria was three days at Brannau; he was at Scharding when he heard of the defeat of his army. The inhabitants consider him as the principal cause of the war. The famous volunteers of Vienna passed through this place after their defeat at Landshut, throwing away their arms, and carrying with them in all haste their treasures to Vienna. On the 21st of April, an imperial decree published in the capital, declaring the ports to be again opened to the English, the treaties with this ancient ally renewed, and hostilities with the common enemy begun. Gen. Oudinot has taken prisoners a battalion of one thousand men, between Althave and Reid. This battalion was without cavalry and artillery. On the approach of our troops they made an attempt to fire with their small arms, but being surrounded on all sides by the cavalry, were obliged to lay down their arms. His majesty caused several brigades of light cavalry to pass a review at Burghausen, among others those of Hesse Darmstadt; at whose appearance he was pleased to express his satisfaction. Gen. Muler, under whose command the corps stands, presented several of them, to whom his majesty was pleased to grant decorations of the legion of honour."
PARIS, May 6. The following Bulletins were this day published. THIRD BULLETIN.  Head-Quarters, Burghausen, April 30. The emperor arrived in Mulldorf the 27th inst. in the evening. His majesty detached the division of Gen. Wrede to Lauffen on the Salza in order to overtake the corps, which the enemy had in Tyrol and was retreating by forced marches. Gen. Wrede overtook the enemy's rear on the 28th, next Lauffen, took their baggage, and made many prisoners; but the enemy had sufficient time to cross the river, and burn the bridge. On the 27th the duke of Dantzick arrived at Wanesburg, and the 28th in Altenmark. On the 29th Gen. Wrede continued his march to Salzbourg, about 3 leagues from the town he found the advanced posts of the enemy's army. The Bavarrians pursued them closely, and entered the town with them. Gen. Wrede assures, that the division of Gen. Jelachich is completely destroyed. That general has thus been punished for the scandalous proclamation, by which he put the dagger in the hands of the Tyrolese. The Bavarrians have taken 500 prisoners, and found considerable magazines in Salzbourg. On the 28th, at break of day the Duke of Istria arrived at Burghausen, and his advanced parties took post on the right bank of the Inn. The same day the Duke of Montebello arrived in Burghausen. Count Bertrand exerted himself to the utmost, to restore the Bridge which had been burnt by the enemy. It was completed on the 26th, and the whole army crossed the river. On the 29th, a detachment of 50 horse chasseurs, commanded by captain Margaron, arrived in Littmoning, where he fell in with a battalion of the famous militia styled Bandwehr, which on his approach retreated into a neighbouring wood. Capt. Margaron summoned them to surrender; after much deliberation, 1000 men of that valiant militia, posted in a thick wood, altogether inaccessible to cavalry, surrendered to 50 chasseurs. The emperor wished to see them; they really excite compassion; they are badly armed, worse accoutred and commanded by superannuated officers of artillery. The cruel and overbearing temper of the Austrians, fully displayed itself during the moment of apparent success, when they occupied Munich. The high pallast of Mulldorf was arrested by them and shot. An inhabitant of Mulldorf, of the name of Starch who had obtained a badge of distinction from the king of Bavaria for the services which, during the last war, he rendered to the army, has been taken up and sent to Vienna, to stand his trial. The high pallast of Burghausen, count Ar mansperg, has also been sent to Lint, and from thence to Vienna.
BOSTON, July 17.
Latest from Port-au-Prince. —Capt. Smith, who arrived at quarantine yesterday, in 24 days from St. Jago de Cuba, informs, that two days previous to his sailing, a gentleman came to that place from Port-au-Prince, and reported that general Pétion had collected all his followers in mass, amounting to about 14,000, of which 2000 were cavalry; that of this force, 4000 had marched against the Cape, under the command of four colonels, who, in case of success, were to be promoted, and who marched with a determination to effect their object, or perish in the attempt. The gentleman added, that information had been received of the unopposed march of this little army, within 20 miles of the town; but that the news of their approach having been gained by the enemy, the troops and inhabitants were collected to defend the place. It was, however, conjectured that their resistance would be fruitless, and that the town had already capitulated. Gen. Pétion was encamped about 26 miles from Port-au-Prince, with the remaining troops, waiting the result of this enterprize, when it was his intention to join general Le Mem. who commanded at the Mole, and attempt the immediate and total annihilation of Christophe's army. Accounts had also been received of the destruction of a part of Christophe's fleet, and the dispersion of the remainder.
NEW-YORK, July 20.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Halifax to his correspondent in this city, dated the 10th
Insty—received via Boston. Our publick news here is more important than usual. A dispatch vessel has just arrived, which states that the British ministry have disavowed the proceedings of Mr. Erskine; an occurrence which will naturally lead the affairs of England and America into greater uncertainty, and remove to some distance at least the period of a final adjustment. Continental accounts by the same vessel represent Buonaparte as at Vienna, and mentions the capture of Oporto by the English. Sir George Prevost, the governor of this province is absent on a tour—An express has been dispatched to him with the order received from home by this vessel, and he is expected here hourly. It is reported he is appointed governor and commander in chief in Canada; and that he is to be succeeded by general Burton. The transports which are here will immediately sail for England, and the troops remain.
Hague, May 23. —The following important intelligence is contained in letters of the 13th inst. from the Low-Countries. On the 24th of April the emperor of Russia declared war against Austria, and ordered his armies to enter Galicia and Hungary. The Russians have already entered Galicia. Since the 24th inst. the French flag has been hoisted on the top of St. Stephen's church at Vienna. On the 10th or 11th the emperor Napoleon was to leave the capitol. The emperor Francis II. has solicited peace.

Abdication of the king of Sweden. The members having produced their credentials from their constituents, and the Deit being only constituted, the states proceeded in a body, on the 4th inst. to pay their respects to his royal highness the Regent, and to express their most grateful acknowledgments for the zeal, activity, and patriotism he had evinced, in relinquishing the comforts and tranquility of a private station, and convoking the grand constitutional assembly of the north, as the only means of saving the country from impending destruction.
On Tuesday the 9th, his royal highness the Regent opened the Deit with a speech addressed to the senate, in which the lord Chancellor (Lagerbjelke) of the court Håron, read, in an audible voice, a detailed account of the events and circumstances which had rendered the convocation of the states indispensably necessary for the salvation of the country.—The marshal of the Deit, and the respective speakers of the Clergy, Burghers and Peasants, addressed his royal highness in appropriate speeches.
On Wednesday the 10th, all the members of the states met at an early hour in one assembly, which will ever be remarkable in the annals of Sweden.—His royal highness having ordered the lord chancellor to read aloud the act of abdication, voluntarily made by the king on the 29th day of March, baron Mannerheim rose and addressed the assembly. The baron, in a speech of considerable length drew a picture of the situation to which Sweden was reduced by the king's passion for war, renounced allegiance and obedience to the person and authority of Gustavus IV, and declared himself and his issue, now and forever, deprived of the crown and government of Sweden. The baron then asked whether this act, this solemn resolution of his, in which his heart and tongue concurred, met with the approbation of the members composing that august assembly? Long and reiterated exclamations of Yes! yes! Yes! resounded from all parts, and baron Mannerheim's declaration was adopted by the constitutional representatives of the Swedish nation, without a single dissentient voice.
His royal highness was then conducted to the chair, from which he addressed the assembly. He reproached to remark upon the state of the nation, noticed the abuses which had crept into every department of the state, and lamented the inadequacy of the laws to restrain or suppress those abuses. It therefore became, in his opinion, indispensably necessary to new model the constitution, and enact such laws as should secure the country from a recurrence of the evils which had brought it to the brink of ruin.—The execution of this object, so important to the vital interests of Sweden, he confided to the united wisdom and counsels of the states, and hoped they would discharge their duty with credit to themselves and advantage to their country.
In the meantime he would take upon himself, and execute to the best of his ability, the management of publick affairs in the capacity of Regent, and wished that nothing should be resolved upon respecting himself until the new constitution should be drawn up and presented for adoption. To-morrow a committee for drawing up the new constitution will be chosen, and when they shall have terminated their labours, it is supposed that the states will declare themselves in favour of his royal highness.

PARIS, May 6. The following Bulletins were this day published. THIRD BULLETIN.
Head-Quarters, Burghausen, April 30. The emperor arrived in Mulldorf the 27th inst. in the evening. His majesty detached the division of Gen. Wrede to Lauffen on the Salza in order to overtake the corps, which the enemy had in Tyrol and was retreating by forced marches. Gen. Wrede overtook the enemy's rear on the 28th, next Lauffen, took their baggage, and made many prisoners; but the enemy had sufficient time to cross the river, and burn the bridge. On the 27th the duke of Dantzick arrived at Wanesburg, and the 28th in Altenmark. On the 29th Gen. Wrede continued his march to Salzbourg, about 3 leagues from the town he found the advanced posts of the enemy's army. The Bavarrians pursued them closely, and entered the town with them. Gen. Wrede assures, that the division of Gen. Jelachich is completely destroyed. That general has thus been punished for the scandalous proclamation, by which he put the dagger in the hands of the Tyrolese. The Bavarrians have taken 500 prisoners, and found considerable magazines in Salzbourg. On the 28th, at break of day the Duke of Istria arrived at Burghausen, and his advanced parties took post on the right bank of the Inn. The same day the Duke of Montebello arrived in Burghausen. Count Bertrand exerted himself to the utmost, to restore the Bridge which had been burnt by the enemy. It was completed on the 26th, and the whole army crossed the river. On the 29th, a detachment of 50 horse chasseurs, commanded by captain Margaron, arrived in Littmoning, where he fell in with a battalion of the famous militia styled Bandwehr, which on his approach retreated into a neighbouring wood. Capt. Margaron summoned them to surrender; after much deliberation, 1000 men of that valiant militia, posted in a thick wood, altogether inaccessible to cavalry, surrendered to 50 chasseurs. The emperor wished to see them; they really excite compassion; they are badly armed, worse accoutred and commanded by superannuated officers of artillery. The cruel and overbearing temper of the Austrians, fully displayed itself during the moment of apparent success, when they occupied Munich. The high pallast of Mulldorf was arrested by them and shot. An inhabitant of Mulldorf, of the name of Starch who had obtained a badge of distinction from the king of Bavaria for the services which, during the last war, he rendered to the army, has been taken up and sent to Vienna, to stand his trial. The high pallast of Burghausen, count Ar mansperg, has also been sent to Lint, and from thence to Vienna.
BOSTON, July 17.
Latest from Port-au-Prince. —Capt. Smith, who arrived at quarantine yesterday, in 24 days from St. Jago de Cuba, informs, that two days previous to his sailing, a gentleman came to that place from Port-au-Prince, and reported that general Pétion had collected all his followers in mass, amounting to about 14,000, of which 2000 were cavalry; that of this force, 4000 had marched against the Cape, under the command of four colonels, who, in case of success, were to be promoted, and who marched with a determination to effect their object, or perish in the attempt. The gentleman added, that information had been received of the unopposed march of this little army, within 20 miles of the town; but that the news of their approach having been gained by the enemy, the troops and inhabitants were collected to defend the place. It was, however, conjectured that their resistance would be fruitless, and that the town had already capitulated. Gen. Pétion was encamped about 26 miles from Port-au-Prince, with the remaining troops, waiting the result of this enterprize, when it was his intention to join general Le Mem. who commanded at the Mole, and attempt the immediate and total annihilation of Christophe's army. Accounts had also been received of the destruction of a part of Christophe's fleet, and the dispersion of the remainder.
NEW-YORK, July 20.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Halifax to his correspondent in this city, dated the 10th
Insty—received via Boston. Our publick news here is more important than usual. A dispatch vessel has just arrived, which states that the British ministry have disavowed the proceedings of Mr. Erskine; an occurrence which will naturally lead the affairs of England and America into greater uncertainty, and remove to some distance at least the period of a final adjustment. Continental accounts by the same vessel represent Buonaparte as at Vienna, and mentions the capture of Oporto by the English. Sir George Prevost, the governor of this province is absent on a tour—An express has been dispatched to him with the order received from home by this vessel, and he is expected here hourly. It is reported he is appointed governor and commander in chief in Canada; and that he is to be succeeded by general Burton. The transports which are here will immediately sail for England, and the troops remain.
Hague, July 11. Arrived, on Sunday morning, his majesty's schooner Nonpareil, lieut. Dickerson, from Portsmouth 42 days. The Nonpareil brought London papers of the 23rd and 24th inst. The report published in our last of the capture of Oporto by the forces under sir Arthur Wellesley is confirmed—They entered it on the 12th of May, after several actions.

LONDON, May 24.
American Affairs. —In the house of commons, last night, Lord Henry Petty put a question to Mr. Canning upon the subject of the correspondence between Mr. Erskine and the American government—Mr. Canning replied, that the agreement purported to be entered into by our minister and the American government, was not made in conformity with the wishes of his majesty, nor such as his majesty could approve of. It was neither founded on the instructions sent to our minister, nor consistent with them. Yet, as it was possible, that under the faith of that agreement, various speculations in trade might be entered into by American merchants, it became necessary, to prevent any inconvenience or detriment to them, to issue some order, by which they might be secured of indemnity in their speculations, at least till the sentiments of his majesty could be conveyed to America. An order of council would speedily be published to the above-mentioned effect.—It will appear in Saturday night's Gazette. Previously, however, to the meeting of the house of commons yesterday, Mr. Sanson, the chairman of the committee of merchants trading to the United States of America, received a note from Earl Bathurst, the president of the board of trade, requesting his attendance, with such other gentlemen of the committee as might be inclined to accompany him at the board.—The chairman and several members of the committee repaired at one o'clock to the treasury chamber, and on their being introduced to the board of trade, were informed by Earl Bathurst, that the recent arrangements made by our ambassador, Mr. Erskine, with the government of the United States, through its secretary, Mr. Smith, were unauthorized by his majesty's ministers, and that he had sent for the committee for the express purpose of communicating the fact to them, with the view that the same might, without loss of time, be made known to the merchants trading to the United States. His lordship at the same time informed the committee, that no advantage would be taken or any impediment thrown in the way of those who had already, and in consequence of this unauthorized arrangement, sent consignments to any of his Britannic majesty's subjects; but that American ships and cargoes under such circumstances, would be allowed to proceed to their destined ports in security.
May 22—25.
The king of Sweden has been formally deposed, and the government placed in the hands of the prince regent, until a new constitution should be finally settled. The insurrection in Westphalia assumes a formidable aspect. The noted Schill has augmented his followers to a vast amount, has taken Bremen, and was spreading them through Brunswick and Hanover. A French squadron is said to have escaped from Toulon, and thrown relief into Barcelona. Lord Collingwood will probably give some account of the return of this fleet. Rear-admiral Harvey has been dismissed for contemptuous language against lord Gambier. The emperor of Austria is said to have solicited peace, an assertion which we do not believe. The archduke Charles accepted the chief command under the express stipulation, that no peace should be made without his consent, and he has declared that nothing but the annihilation of the Austrian armies, and the impossibility of opposing any further resistance, should make him consent to the last degradation of all miseries, submission to the will of Buonaparte.
May 25.
Dutch papers of the 23rd arrived late last night, and have brought an account of the French having entered Vienna. Schill's bold enterprize continues to give the greatest alarm to the enemy to the north of Germany.—He has taken Bremen, and his band, rapidly increasing to an army, is spreading through Brunswick and Hanover, the inhabitants of which are to a man in his favour. Jerome Buonaparte has no army, capable of opposing him, and confines himself to proclamations offering rewards for his apprehension. One article states that the king of Prussia, so far from approving of his conduct, has sent an army of 30,000 men against him. The necessity which is here confessed of sending so large a force against him proves the formidable nature of the insurrection which he has brought about. But we do not believe the king of Prussia has sent any force against him, and we remember having read in the Leyden Gazette the other day, some reflections against his Prussian majesty upon the subject of Schill's enterprize. We stated on Monday that a French squadron from Toulon had thrown relief into Barcelona, and that as Lord Collingwood had heard of their being at sea great hopes were entertained of their being intercepted on their return. A report was in circulation last night that our squadron were off Minorca with a fine breeze, and that the enemy were only 15 miles distant. This morning a letter was received from a merchant in the city, from the master of one of his vessels, stating that accounts had just been received at Gibraltar, of Lord Collingwood having destroyed the French fleet in the Mediterranean. The letter is dated on the 1st of May, and the news contained in the postscript, which is as follows: "Captain Ireland, of the Orion, is this moment standing in, and our fleet is coming in, after having completed the destruction of the squadron from Toulon." If the postscript be written on the same day the letter is dated, the intelligence cannot be true, for the admiral was in possession of later advices which make no mention of such an event. The French papers received yesterday said that the squadron had got back to Toulon.
SURRENDER OF VIENNA.
Vienna, May 12. —This morning the following bulletins and general orders have been published: "A Saxon officer, or courier, who passed through Ratisbon last night, has brought the intelligence, that on the 9th his majesty the emperor and king entered Vienna." "B. the commandant." (Signed) J. D. FELIK."
Vienna, May 12. —According to certain intelligence, the French troops are already on the other side of the Danube. It is probable that they will proceed directly towards Hungary, in order to anticipate the insurrection there.
Vienna, May 4. —We have heard nothing of battles since the retreat of the archduke Charles over the Danube. He has fixed his great army in Bohemia.

The accounts from the eastward, to-day's mail, stating the refusal of the British ministry to ratify the agreement made by Mr. Erskine with our government, is calculated to excite astonishment, regret and indignation. If the fact be so, we cannot, however, believe it is in the full extent, it exhibits a deplorable instance of diplomatic inaccuracy and knavery, and will forever be recorded as an indelible stain on the reputation of Great Britain. A letter which we have seen, says, "That Mr. Canning had declared in the house of commons, that Mr. Erskine was not authorized by his government to enter into the arrangement he had made with this country."
We have intimated that the report did not command our entire belief. We will briefly state our reasons. In the first place it must be observed, that as far as we can learn, the arrangement of Mr. Erskine was not publicly known in England on the 22d May. This is inferred from the silence of their papers down to these dates. The dates at Boston are to the 25th, allowing only three days for the arrival of the intelligence, for the British ministry to receive its sanction, and for Mr. Canning and Mr. Pinkney to exchange several notes on the subject. This alone is sufficient to lessen its probability.
But it is said, Mr. Erskine was not authorized by his government to effect this understanding. Mr. Erskine then, or his government, are guilty of a most perfidious falsehood. In his first note of April 17, to Mr. Smith, he begins with, "I have the honour to inform you that I have received his MAJESTY'S COMMANDS," &c.; and his final note on the subject is couched in the following positive terms.
Washington, April 19. SIR—In consequence of the acceptance by the president, as stated in your letter, dated the 18th instant, of the proposal made by me, on the part of his majesty, in my letter of the same day, for the renewal of the intercourse between the respective countries, I AM AUTHORISED to declare that his majesty's order in council of January and November, 1807, will have been withdrawn as respects the United States on the 10th day of June next.
I have the honour to be, &c. D. M. ERSKINE.
Hon. Robert Smith. But further, when it was first known in this country that a general blockade was substituted for the orders in council, apprehensions were entertained that this was intended by the British government as the fulfilment on her part of Mr. Erskine's engagement. But Mr. Erskine spontaneously and with avidity, came forward to remove this apprehension. In his note of the 15th June, to Mr. Smith, he says, "I have the honour to enclose the copy of an order in council of his majesty, issued the 26th April." In consequence of official communications sent to me from his majesty's government, since the adoption of that measure, I am enabled to assure you that it has no connexion whatever with the overtures which I HAVE BEEN AUTHORISED to make to the government of the United States, and that I am persuaded that the terms of agreement, so happily concluded by the recent negotiation, will be strictly enforced on the part of his majesty.
So then, it is the evidence to prove that Mr. Erskine acted under the authority of his government. This fact being established, operates strongly against the truth of Mr. Canning's reported expression; as well as against the truth of the whole accompanying information.
Mr. Erskine's veracity and honour must be destroyed before we can give credit to these accounts.
PHILADELPHIA, July 21. Extracts of letters respecting the late intelligence from London.
BOSTON, July 17, 11 o'clock A. M.
"Dear Sir—We have this moment received London papers to May 25, stating, the negotiation entered into by Mr. Erskine has been rejected by the British government; but that vessels sailing from the U. States under the stipulations entered into would be suffered to accomplish their voyages—that Bonaparte entered Vienna the 9th May; that Russia had declared war against Austria; that the archduke Charles was still in front of Bohemia, with a large force. These are the prominent articles; time will not permit a more lengthy detail."
"Yours, &c."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Boston to his correspondent in this city, dated July 17.
"We have just received by the way of Halifax, London papers to the 25th of May. Mr. Canning being called upon in parliament, has declared that the arrangement made by Mr. Erskine was unauthorized and can never be approved of by his majesty; but until his majesty's sentiments can be known in America it will be necessary to protect the trade, the Americans are already engaged in, and a new order in council will be issued immediately for that purpose. Lord Bathurst has given the same information to the American merchants. As the news is important, I have given this hasty sketch as the mail is closing."
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated the 19th July.
"We have London news to the 25th of May, which state that the British ministry had completely disavowed the late transactions of Mr. Erskine, with the government of the United States; and he is to be in consequence recalled."
"That Buonaparte had entered Vienna on the 9th of May."
"That Russia had, on the 25th April, declared war against Austria, and a Russian army had entered the Austrian territory."
Another letter—same date.
"A passenger who left the mail stage at New-Haven, and came from thence by the packet, reports the arrival at Boston, of a vessel from Halifax; an arrival there from England brings late dates, which state, that the British government was dissatisfied with Mr. Erskine, their minister in the United States, and that he was to be recalled; it was said that he had exceeded his instructions; but nevertheless, that the arrangements he had made, would be confirmed. The French were in possession of Vienna."
"The eastern mail is just arrived, and completely confirms the foregoing intelligence; a Halifax paper which I have seen, states, that Russia had issued a declaration of war against Austria, and that the British ministry had disavowed the transactions of Mr. Erskine, with the United States government."
CAPTURE OF THE TOULON FLEET, AND THE French Garrison of Barcelona.
Capt. Dashiels, of the sloop Henry, who arrived at New-York in 8 days from Bermuda, informs that he sailed from Martinique on the 27th of June, and, on that day, advices were received there, of the capture of the Toulon fleet, by Lord Collingwood, consisting of 5 sail of the line, 6 or 7 frigates, and 30 transports, having on board the French garrison of Barcelona. Capt. D. further states, that a vessel had arrived at Martinique, having spoken an American ship from Gibilter, and was informed by the American captain, that Lord Collingwood had arrived at Gibilter previous to his sailing, with the whole French fleet, his prizes.
The above accounts, is confirmed by a letter from St. Croix, of the 3d July, received by the Richard.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in St. Petersburg to his friend in this city, dated
St. Petersburg, April 8, 1809.
Public opinion is much engaged here on the appearance of a small pamphlet, in which language is used "an address to the emperor and people of all the Russias." There is something therein so strong, and such striking truth, that every one reads it with interest. We know not what the Czar and his government think of it. But it is a fact that the minister of France has made several representations on this subject. I have given you an extract upon which the representations are founded, and from which you may judge of the author's design, who is as yet unknown. Some persons think that the ministry are not entirely strangers to it.
"It is asked, what has determined the emperor to change so quickly his politics? The answer is easy—the Czar has not changed his politics; to accuse him of it is an imputation on his character—his good faith, his honour and his justice. Far from that, we ought to admire his comprehensive views and profound wisdom."
"The causes which brought on the war between Russia and France still exists. Neither the transient misfortunes of our armies, nor the treaty of Tilsit have been able to destroy them. But, will they say, what are the grievances of Sweden and England which induces them to go to war? What revolution could induce enmity to spring, in the short space of 24 hours, from the most intimate friendship which hitherto existed? It is precisely because we have no complaint against one or the other of those powers, that the actual conduct of the Czar appears, only, by its sequel, to be the best and most admirable."
"Can it be imagined that the Czar has contracted a violent friendship and unlimited devotion for his great ally precisely on the day on which the latter had gained the famous battle of Friedland and appeared to dictate to him the terms of peace. The amur patrie glows in every Russian bosom. The emperor could not thus have forgotten the country which gave him birth. . . . . in signing a treaty of alliance, he has shown the heroism of devotion; yes, of devotion. And is there in fact, no other step to arrive at a great and reasonable attainment, than an incessant exposure to the bloody darts of calumny, jealousy and false judgment."
"Alexander, little happy in his double alliance with Germany, and having always the honour and dignity of the legitimate princes nearest his heart, has thought it his duty to contract a new alliance with the conqueror of Friedland and Jena—What is seen there?"
"A prince who makes great sacrifices, and whose comprehensive views are not limited by the treaty of Tilsit; one year in no condition to prolong a campaign against a formidable and numerous enemy; who is in want of relaxation and recruit the better to wait the period the most favourable to the designs of his chief who always wishes to hold himself in readiness at a great distance from the field of glory; to conquer the new levies; to strike the surest blows, and to show to the world the justice of the axiom so ill applied to other times. "He knows how to dissemble, knows not how to govern." The ally demands proofs of his sincerity—and this is war with England and Sweden; he must knock or abandon his projects; moreover he must acknowledge princes and potentates not yet in existence."
"But in fulfilling his engagements with the great ally, can it be thought that the Czar has forgotten his friends? No! and the day is at hand when we can judge of his majesty's nobleness and greatness of soul and how his bosom has been rent asunder in the day of diversity."
"If Austria is subjugated, nothing can arrest the strides of the French emperor towards universal dominion. The vast extent of our empire presents great difficulties to defend it against an enemy who can create others and who always causes himself to be preceded by a secret vanguard, the more dangerous as it is busy particularly in peace and darkness, and even worms itself into the cabinet of sovereigns."
"Principles already implanted in Ispahan, and thence spread throughout Persia, announce that they can contend with us Mount Caucasus and cause the Sophi to declare against us at the nod of France. On the other hand the Sophi will be our friend, if the power of that man who astonishes the world, is destroyed, or at least diminished. But how shall this power be destroyed or diminished which becomes more and more colossal and threatening? By justice, perseverance, courage, and above all to embrace the happy moment. It appears as if Divine Providence itself has pointed out the time."
"Nations are in arms, obtain advantages, make treaties, and forget events greater in effect than a popular revolution. On the one hand a nation entire, fierce in courage and patriotism, dares present itself alone on the theatre of action; on the other, a great prince humbled by his enemy, adored by his subjects, honoured and beloved by kings and nations, strong in the justice of his cause, and more so in his immense resources, fears not to declare his intention of repelling an unjust and insolent oppression, and manifests the hope of conquering in the holy cause of Europe's independence, or the resolve to perish in the contest. The little son of Caesar flatters himself with reason, that his neighbours will follow his example, and his ancient allies will yet become his friends."
"In this juncture can Russia be her own enemy, the enemy of honour and of justice? I appeal to the heart of the wise and brave Alexander; I appeal to the hearts of his subjects. . . . No. Russia cannot tranquilly behold Europe rent asunder, nor become the instrument of ambition to overturn thrones and empires. The tiger of the African desert respects nothing in his rage; every thing is sacrificed to his deadly gripe; all that breathes and is presented before him is devoured by his bloody jaws; even so the ambitious conqueror holds nothing sacred; friend or foe are all alike to him; every thing disappears beneath his claw; kingdoms, people, principalities, republics, ecclesiastical estates, all are confused in a new geographical map traced with a sword stained with innocent blood!"
"Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear; and who has eyes to see, let him see!!"
"You can discern with what effect a similar writing has upon the publick mind, in a language so familiar in this capitol. The time appears to give it new interest. It is freely spoken of. We are most astonished, as the liberty of the press does not exist here as with you, that it has appeared eight or ten days already without being heard of, spoken of, or sought after by the police. True, it is secretly disposed of. The empress Dowager has read it, and observed "I know not what answer can be given to it."
"You will receive this letter by way of England; I have addressed it to our friend G. W. and have sent him the price current, and begged him to transmit it to you, in case you wish to have any thing to transact in this country. There is no colonial produce at market. Tobacco is the greatest rarity, &c. The last American vessel which arrived at Cronstadt, has brought the news that the American embargo was on the point of being raised."

From the London Gazette Extraordinary, of May 25.
DOWNING STREET, May 24. A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was received this evening from lieut. general the right hon. sir Arthur Wellesley, by Viscount Castlereagh, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state.
OPOUTO, May 13.
My Lord, I had the honour to apprise your lordship on the 7th inst. that I intended that the army should march on the 9th from Coimbra, to dispossess the enemy of Oporto.
The advanced guard and the cavalry had marched on the 7th, and the whole halted on the 8th, to afford time for marshal Beresford with his corps to arrive upon the Upper Douro.
The infantry of the army was formed into three divisions for this expedition, of which two, the advanced guard, consisting of the Hanoverian Legion and brigadier general R. Stewart's brigade, with a brigade of six pounders, and a brigade of three pounders under lieut. gen. Paget, and the cavalry under lieut. gen. Payne, and the brigade of guards; brigadier general Campbell's and brigadier general R. Stewart's brigades of infantry, with a brigade of 6 pounders, under lieutenant general Sherbrooke, moved by the high road from Coimbra to Oporto, and one composed of major general Hill's and brigadier general Cameron's brigade of infantry and a brigade of six pounders, under the command of major general Hill, by the road from Coimbra to Aveiro.
On the 10th in the morning, before day-light, the cavalry and advanced guard crossed the Vouga with the intention to surprise and cut off four regiments of French cavalry; and a battalion of infantry and artillery, cantoned in Abargaria, Nova and the neighbouring villages, about eight miles from that river, in the last of which we failed; but the superiority of the British cavalry was evident throughout the day; we took some prisoners and their cannon from them; and the advanced guard took up the position of Oliveira.
On the same day major gen. Hill, who had embarked at Aveiro on the evening of the 9th, arrived at Ovar in the rear of the enemy's right; and the head of lieut. gen. Sherbrooke's division passed the Vouga on the same evening.
On the 11th, the advanced guard and cavalry continued to move on the high road towards Oporto, with major gen. Hill's division, in a parallel road which leads to Oporto from Ovar.
On the arrival of the advanced guard at Vendas Novas, between Santo Rodolfo and Grijon, they fell in with the out posts of the enemy's advanced guard, consisting of about 4000 infantry, and some squadrons of cavalry, strongly posted on the height above Grijon, their front being covered by woods and broken ground. The enemy's left flank was turned by a movement well executed by major gen. Murray, with brig. gen. Langworth's brigade of the Hanoverian legion; whilst the 16th Portuguese regiment of brigadier gen. R. Stewart's brigade attacked their right, and the riflemen of the 95th, and the bank companies of the 29th, 43d, and 52d, of the same brigade under major Way attacked the infantry in the woods and villages in the centre.
These attacks soon obliged the enemy to give way; and the hon. brig. gen. Charles Stewart led 2 squadrons of the 16th and 20th dragoons under the command of major Cl. Key, in pursuit of the enemy, and destroyed many and took many prisoners.
On the night of the 11th the enemy crossed the Duro, and destroyed the bridge over that river. It was important, with a view to the operations of marshal Beresford, that I should cross the Duro immediately; and I had sent major gen. Murray in the morning with a battalion of the Hanoverian legion, a squadron of cavalry, and two six pounders to endeavour to collect boats, and if possible, to cross the river at Ovar, about five miles above Oporto; and I had as many boats as could be collected brought to the ferry, immediately above the towns of Oporto and Villa Nova.
The ground on the right bank of the river at this ferry is protected and commanded by the fire of a cannon, placed on the height of the Sierra Convent at Villa Nova, and there appeared to be a good position for our troops on the other side of the river, till they should be collected in sufficient numbers.
The enemy took notice of our intention of boats on the embarkation of the troops, and after the first battalion (the Buffs) were landed, and had taken up their position under the command of lieut. gen. Paget, on the opposite side of the river. They then commenced an attack upon them, with
a large body of cavalry, infantry and artillery, under the command of marshal Soult, which they most gallantly sustained, till supported by the 34th and 66th regiments, belonging to major gen. Hill's brigade, and a Portuguese battalion, which afterwards took the enemy's position, belonging to brig. gen. R. Stewart's brigade.
Lieut. gen. Paget was severely wounded soon after the attack commenced upon the command at Oporto, and was relieved upon him, by major gen. Hill.
Although the French made repeated attacks upon them, they made no impression, and at last major gen. Paget having appeared on the enemy's left flank on his maremma Oviedo, where he had crossed, and lieut. gen. Sherbrooke, who by this time had availed himself of the enemy's weakness in the town of Oporto, and had crossed the Douro at the ferry, between the towns of Villa Nova and Oporto, having appeared upon the right with the brigade of guards and the 29th regiment, the whole retired with the utmost confusion towards the Douro, leaving behind them five pieces of cannon, eight caissons, ammunition, tumbrils, and many prisoners.
The enemy's loss in killed and wounded in this action has been very large, and they have left behind them in Oporto 7000 sick and wounded.
Lieut. gen. the hon. Charles Stewart then directed a charge by a squadron of the 14th dragoons under the command of major Hervey, who made a successful attack on the enemy's rear guard.
In the different actions with the enemy, of which I have above given your lordship an account, we have lost some, and the immediate services of other valuable officers and soldiers.
In lieut. gen. Paget among the latter, I have lost the assistance of a friend who had been most useful to me in the few days which had elapsed since he had joined the army. He had rendered most important service at the moment he received his wound, in taking up the position which the troops afterwards maintained, and in bearing the first brunt of the enemy's attack.
Major Hervey also distinguished himself at the moment he received his wound, in the charge of the cavalry on this day.
I cannot say too much in favour of the officers and troops. They have marched in four days over eighty miles of most difficult country, have gained three different bodies of the enemy's troops.
I send this dispatch by capt. Stanhope, whom I beg to be recommended to your lordship's protection; his brother, the hon. major Stanhope, was unfortunately wounded by a sabre whilst leading a charge of the 16th light dragoons on the 10th inst. I have the honour to be, &c.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York
Office of the Company No. 69, Wall-Street.
PROPOSALS.
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Merchandise, Ships in Harbour, Goods, &c. against Fire, and from Loss or Damage by Fire.
THE Legislature of the State of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property against loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law; the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the amount of security against the kind of loss which frequently, in an unexpected moment, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and renders the independent and affluent, together with their families, in poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this Institution; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public.
No insured person will be liable to make good the loss of others; but in case of fire, the insurer will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on property burnt by Lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal roofs; and not hazardous, contained in such buildings.
12 1/2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood.
18 3/4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part brick or stone, and part of wood.
25 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood.
37 1/2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—instance from water-engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c. The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstance of special security:—but in all cases if the sum to be insured on any one the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.
Iron Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Butchers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable-keepers, Tarant-keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine-Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Corn Mills, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinists, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed highly hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance.
I. All applications for insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for insurance accurately described.
II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise: where situated, the name of the present occupier; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; as, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufacturing is carried on in the premises, all which is to be entered and stated in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall express them to be described in the policy the wise than they really are, or the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect.
III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property.
IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and no person for whose interest the insurance is made, shall be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.
V. No insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the premium is paid.
VI. Persons insuring property with this Company, and who have already made other insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before or at the time of the execution of the Policy; and persons who, after insuring property with this Company, have insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall be void, and of no effect; and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a ratable proportion of the loss or damage which otherwise would have been sustained.
VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot or military or usurped power whatever.
VIII. Books of account, written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Small-furniture, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy.
X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of account, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and should they neglect either any and every other assurance is made void; and the Company, at their option, may require a certificate, made by some public or private person, of the true value of the property, and the amount of the loss; and should they be acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person insured, and do know, or very likely to know, that he, she, or they, have sustained, or will sustain, loss or damage to the amount therein insured; and until such affirmitis and certificates are produced, the loss cannot be paid:—Also, if there appears any fraud, or
false assertion, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to indemnity or payment, by virtue of his policy.
XI. In case any difference shall arise touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbiters, indifferently chosen, who in their award shall be binding on the parties. And in the event of damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same, in thirty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without deduction of discount, except any deduction whatever.
XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years; and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which insurance may be required.

Two Valuable FARMS for Sale. I offer the following Valuable Property for Sale, viz. my Farm in Harvey's Neck, and a Tract of Land lying on the N. E. side of Perquimans River, containing 106 acres (directly opposite the Farm), one of my Tracts containing 200 acres, lying on the S. W. side of said river, about four miles above the Farm, both these tracts are well timbered.
I will also sell the FARM on which I live, and my wharf and Lots in Edenton, with the improvements. The Farm in Harvey's Neck contains 220 acres, 200 of which are in a high state of cultivation; in point of fertility of soil, it is not surpassed by any in this part of the state, the Corn, Wheat in particular, the White Clover grows (almost spontaneously) in the greatest abundance. I have made on this Farm in one season from 50,000 to 320 barrels of Corn; this place is situated on the S. W. bank of Perquimans River, near the mouth of it, a delightful prospect, in an agreeable neighbourhood; on it is a convenient Dwelling House, with every necessary out-house. The two Tracts on the same river are considered as appendages to this Farm, for the purpose of well of water, with rail timber, &c. There is an excellent wharf, and the situation is considered to be as healthy as any in that part of the country; with the Farm may be 150 head of 20 good orderly Negroes, 100 head of sheep, 150 head of hogs, 40 or 50 head of cattle, horses, oxen, and all the farming utensils, &c.
The Farm on which I live, contains 500 acres, 200 of which are cleared and under good fence and in a high state of cultivation; the rest is covered with good timber; the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of wheat and corn, and with very little labour from 30 to 40 acres might be cultivated in Rice to great advantage; it is supposed (and I have no doubt of it) that this place will admit of having one of the best Herring and Shad Fisheries in this state, and could be carried on very extensively at a small expense; the situation is excelled by none, it lies on the bank of Albemarle Sound, being the N. E. point of the bay of Edenton, 4 miles by water and 5 by land from the town; it is an elevated situation and very healthy; there is on the Farm a convenient Dwelling-House and every necessary out-house, a most excellent well of water, a number of choice fruit trees, and a large garden newly planted, which affords the greatest abundance of vegetables of every kind necessary for family use. This Farm is in a most desirable situation for a gentleman who wishes to retire with his family on a country seat. With the Farm may be had from 10 to 20 valuable negroes, 75 to 100 head of sheep, 50 head of cattle, 100 to 200 head of hogs, horses, oxen, and every necessary implement of husbandry.
The Wharf and Lots in Edenton is one of the best situations in town for shipping business and a retail store; a large new Ware-House three stories high, stands on the head of the wharf, and several other houses. The property will be known by applying to me. JOHN SKINNER. Moseley's Point, June 4, 1809.

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