ACCOUNT OF THE KING OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. (From Capt. Turnbull's voyage round the World just published.)
The Sandwich islands are at this period under the dominion of Tamahama, another Peter the Great, who is at once extending his power over all his neighbours, and urging forward the civilization of his people with amazing activity. All the Sandwich islands are now reduced under his power, with the exception of two small ones to the northward, which are still held by the rightful king, a Prince rendered moderate and just by adversity.
Among other remarkable particulars of this unfortunate monarch, our author mentions that he spoke the English language with considerable ease. He professed a high regard for the British nation, and as a proof of it had taken to himself the name of king George, and to his children, who were numerous, he had given those of the present Royal family in Britain, beginning with the Prince of Wales, and descending to the youngest branch of that family.
This Prince and his followers, by the assistance of some Englishmen residing among them, constructed a ship in which they intend to emigrate to China, or to some other island, in case Tamahama should invade and overpower them. Tamahama is one of those remarkable characters which, owing to a combination of fortunate circumstances, become, as it were, land marks in the history of their species.
We shall extract the account given of him for the entertainment of our readers: His palace is built after the European stile, of brick, and glazed windows, having European and American artificers about him of almost every description. Indeed his own subjects, from their intercourse with Europeans, have acquired a great knowledge of several of the mechanical arts, and have thus enabled him to increase his navy, a very favourite object with him. I have no doubt that in a very few years he will erect among these islands a power very far from despicable.
The circumstances of this enterprising chief are greatly changed since the visit of capt. Vancouver, to whom as to the servant and representative of Great Britain, with much formality and ceremony, he had made a conveyance of the sovereignty of Owhyhee, in the hopes of being thus more strongly confirmed in his authority, and supplied with the means of resisting his enemies.
His dominion seems now to be completely established. He is not only a great warrior and politician, but a very acute trader, and a match for any European for driving a bargain, and is ever ready to take the advantage of the necessities of those who apply to him or his people for supplies.
His subjects have already made considerable progress in civilization, but are held in the most abject submission, as Tamahama is inflexible in punishing all offences which seem to counteract his supreme command.
It was only in 1792, that capt. Vancouver laid down the keel of Tamahama's first vessel, or rather craft; but so assiduously has he applied himself to effect his grand and favourite object, the establishment of a naval force, that at the period of our arrival he had upwards of twenty vessels of different sizes, from 25 to 50 tons; some of them were even copper-bottomed.
He was, however, at this time much in want of naval stores, and, to have his navy quickly placed on a respectable footing, would pay well for them. He has also a certain number of body guards to attend him, independently of the number who are required to accompany him on all his journeys and expeditions.
In viewing this man, my imagination suggested to me that I beheld in its first progress one of those extraordinary natures which, under other circumstances of fortune and situation, would have ripened into the future hero, and caused the world to resound with his feats of glory. What other was Philip of Macedon, as pictured by the Grecian historians? A man who overcame every disadvantage of slight resources and powerful rivals, and extended the narrow sovereignty of Macedon into a universal monarchy, of Greece and the known world.
Some convicts from Botany Bay having effected their escape to the Sandwich Islands, rendered themselves at first serviceable to Tamahama, and in recompense were put in possession of small portions of land for cultivation. On these they had raised some sugar canes, and at last contrived to distil a sort of spirit, with which they entertained each other by turns, keeping birth-days and other holidays; until Tamahama finding that such festivities greatly retarded his work, made some gentle representations on the subject.
This lenity, however, produced no good effect, but the drinking, idleness, and quarrels among the new settlers seeming rather to become more frequent than before, and their insolence being carried so far as to insult and maltreat many of the natives, Tamahama gave the strangers to understand, that in their next fighting party he would make one of the company, and see who could best acquit himself on the occasion. This hint produced the desired effect—the Botany Bay settlers were soon brought into complete submission, and a due sense of their situation.
war, and are occasionally mounted with a few light guns. "No one better understands his interest than this ambitious chief—no one better knows how to improve an original idea. The favours of Vancouver would have been thrown away on any other savage, but Tamahama possesses a genius above his situation.
"The body guards, who may be considered in some respects as regularly disciplined troops, go on duty and relieve each other as in Europe, calling out "All is well" at every half hour, as on board ship. Their uniform at this time was simply a blue great-coat, with yellow facing.
"With other things which Tamahama has learned by intercourse with Europeans, he has acquired a relish for our spirits, so that some navigators have exchanged their rum with him to very good account. Sometimes, when his stock of liquor is exhausted, he employs the Europeans settled in his dominions to extract spirits from the sugar-canes, which grow there of an excellent quality.
"When Tamahama means to relax from his serious occupations, he invites his own wives, and those of his chiefs, to share his regale of spirits, which in its operation seldom fails to create disputes, and even quarrels, among the ladies, to the great entertainment of the master of the feast, and the other male guests."

MIRANDA.
Extract of a letter from Kingston, in Jamaica, dated 5th of May, 1806, to a gentleman in this place.
"On the business therein mentioned, I have only to add that I have just received a letter from Mr. — dated at Aruba, mentioning, that not finding a ready market for a cargo of Dry Goods which he carried up from this, he intended to proceed with General Miranda, who arrived there with his squadron a few days before, on that extraordinary expedition of the attack of Carracas."
Our knowledge of the person referred to in the above extract, and the very respectable character to whom the letter is addressed in this place, induce us to assure our readers that they may rely, that a few days previous to the 5th of May, that Miranda was at Aruba, and that it was there understood that he intended for Carracas.
Aruba, or as it is otherwise called Oruba, is a small Island near the Main Continent of Terra Firma, in lat. 12. 30. N. long. 69. 30.
A Jamaica paper of the 9th of May, has the following remarks on Miranda's expedition.
"The expedition of Miranda furnishes a problem not to be easily solved. The tales in circulation may be half true, but, certainly, not wholly so. The vaunted successes were reported through a doubtful channel, and can therefore meet no more than suspended belief."
"We do not, said one of the officers, while on the Main, we do not go to the continent to fight. It is true we are provided with the means of self-defence and perhaps of annoyance, but we are going into the bosom of a people who expect us, and from whose arms we have nothing to look to but an embrace."
"The officers in this equipment are informed in a splendid manner. They seem confident of success; and that powerful engine, the Press, has been employed, not only during their passage, but while in Jacquetel, in printing such papers, both in Spanish and in the native language of the people, as may best forward the purposes of their new visitants."
MARRIED last evening by the Rev. Mr. Grigsby, Mr. ROBERT ROBERTSON, to Miss FRANCES FERREER.
Mr. JOHN PALMER, to Miss MARTHA BUTT, all of this Borough.
The Editor of this Paper, will sell EIGHT Y REAMS of such PAPER as the Ledger is printed on this day, and will be printed on the two next publications. A credit of ninety days will be given for an approved note.
Ledger Office, May 30, 1806.
The following observation, were made by Mr. J. RANDOLPH, when the yeas and nays were called for on the passage of the bill to prohibit the importation of certain British goods, &c.
I was about myself to ask for the yeas and nays; but before they are taken on the bill, I wish some of its framers, if indeed it has any within these walls, would step forward and inform us what evidence is to be offered to a jury to decide whether a given yard of broad cloth has been manufactured in Britain or Ireland. We have heard a great deal about efficiency and dignity; but never in the course of my life have I witnessed such a scene of indignity and inefficiency as this measure holds forth to the world. What is it? A milk and water bill, a dose of chicken broth to be taken nine months hence. Good God! is it possible that gentlemen believe it will be incompetent for congress at the next session to cook up such a dish as this; for I hope congress will meet before or about the 15th of November, and that an adjournment will not be made to the beginning of December. Is there such a difference of time between these periods as to justify a resort to these measures now? It is the merest brutum fulmen I ever heard of—it is too contemptible to be the object of consideration, or to excite the feelings of the present state in Europe. If we wish to throw the disgrace off our shoulders, let us throw this bill off our tables. This is the strong measure!—this is the imposing attitude we have taken! You cannot go without the next spring and fall importations—and you tell your adversary so. You multiply custom-house oaths, and give a bounty to perjury. Except in respect to custom-house oaths, there is not a provision in the bill worth a farthing. Is it possible for a deliberate body thus to trifle with the nation? With powers with which they have been invested for the wisest purposes; and to hold out a temptation to the violation of laws—for it is impossible to pass a law more teeming with mischief—a law which, while it opens a door to perjury, cannot be executed, and than the execution of which nothing is farther from the minds of its framers. It is indeed inefficient itself, it can never be executed. I have heard much said in the lobby since I came into the house, of giving up our own opinions in deference to those of others. Let those who make this declaration give up their opinions. But in my opinion the times call for a far different thing from unanimity. They may indeed call for union, but the measures proposed ought to be wise and efficient—they call for principle—for independence. For gentlemen in this house voting in correspondence to the opinions they avow out of doors, and not for their being whipped by the underlings of government—for assuming a manly attitude—for a far different procedure from the bill on your table. Will gentlemen allow nothing to a change of circumstances in Europe. We have received a secret communication from that quarter. Will they pay no attention to its contents? Will they, instead of this, go on in their political go-cart, in one incessant round, without attending to time or circumstances? And now I am speaking on this subject, I must request those communications be read.
Mr. Speaker said they were confidential.
The following observations are copied from a London paper of the 11th of April, and indicate the distress which the commercial world is exposed to from the measures which have lately been adopted in Europe.
CONTINENTAL TRADE.
A large number of ships, loaded with British property for Germany, Holland, and the Baltic, have for some time past been detained by contrary winds; the embargo now puts a further stop to their sailing.
In goods shipped for British account, the loss and inconvenience arising from this detention, of course falls solely on the British merchant. Of that pro-
portion shipped for foreign account, we may reckon that not above one-fourth, or at most one-third, is paid for by the merchants abroad; the difference consequently again falls upon the British merchant; and under the present circumstances no house abroad will naturally either remit or accept one shilling more for goods not arrived. It is even more than probable that a law may be passed by the Prussian government to prevent the payment of bills drawn from Great-Britain.
As we must look to France for the cause of our differences with Prussia, it is to be feared they will not be very speedily settled; and the immediate adoption of a plan to preserve the merchandise shipped, and to assist the merchant whose property is thus suddenly taken out of his reach, claims the serious attention of those who are now at the helm of affairs, to prevent those dreadful calamities which threaten the mercantile interest at large, if no measure for relief is taken.
It is suggested, as the most advisable plan, to warehouse, under the king's lock, all the cargoes detained here; the custom-house to allow the same drawbacks and bounties as if the goods were actually exported, and government to grant a loan in Exchequer Bills, of one-half to two-thirds of the value upon all such goods as can be proved to be bona fide British property; viz.—against which the shipper has received no value whatever.
The management and investigation of this concern it would be necessary to leave to a committee of respectable merchants; and though the task of ascertaining the property might be difficult, it is of the first importance for the welfare of the country that some plan should speedily be adopted to prevent stoppages and failures, which must otherwise be the consequence of the detention of British property here as well as abroad.
It is not only the ruin of the continental merchant which we have to dread; one branch of commerce is closely linked to the other, the West and East India merchants, and particularly the manufacturer, must also suffer.

STATE PAPER.
PRUSSIAN PATENT.
"Frederick William, King of Prussia, &c. &c. make known and declare as follows:"
"The wish is to secure our faithful subjects and the neighbouring states of the north of Germany during the war, and to preserve and confirm the duration of the blessings of peace, was at all times, the intention of our indefatigable endeavours. These wholesome measures were made known, upon some recent occasions, as the object of our late patent, dated January 27, 1806, according to which the electoral states of Brunswick Luneburg, in Germany, were taken possession of by our troops, when the administration of the same passed into our hands. But in consequence of the exchange of the electorate of Hanover, in consideration of the cession of three of the provinces of our monarchy, and for the permanent tranquility of our subjects and the neighbouring states, we have found it indispensably necessary to enter into and conclude a convention with his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy; and as the electoral state of the house of Brunswick, situated in Germany, were obtained by the emperor Napoleon, by right of conquest, we hereby declare, that the rightful possession of the territory of that house has passed over to us, in consequence of the cession of three of our provinces, and is now subject to our power only; consequently, from the present time, the government and the administration of these countries will be administered simply in our name alone, and under our supreme authority."
"We therefore call upon all persons, whatever may have been the functions assigned them to execute those functions only in our name, and under our authority."
"Count Schulenburg Kehnert, and the commissioners who are attached to him, expect no less than that all the prelates, the burghers, and the inhabitants in general, will obediently conform themselves to the order of things, which a new era has rendered necessary for their tranquility and well-being; and in so doing, they will afford his majesty a proof of their devotion to their country."
"So, on our part, nothing shall be neglected to confirm them in the persuasion of our paternal affection, and our sincere wish to render them happy."
(Signed) "FREDERICK WILLIAM. SCHULENBURG. HAUGWITZ."
"April 1, 1806. Letter of the cabinet ministry of the king of Prussia to the ministry of the electorate of Brunswick, at Hanover."
BERLIN, January 27, 1806.
Since the disasters of the combined Austrian and Russian armies, which led to the peace between Austria and France, his majesty, our most gracious sovereign, has employed his zealous endeavours to stifle the flames of war, which every moment threatened to over-run the north of Germany, and, particularly, the electorate of Brunswick. The state of European affairs had, within a short period, been totally changed, and the first consequences of this would have been the return of a powerful French force into the territories of Hanover, which, with the whole north of Germany, would thus have become the theatre of a destructive war, and the sacrifice of oppressive impositions.
It would be unnecessary to enumerate all the disastrous consequences of such a state. To prevent it by all possible means, as soon as the intentions directed to that object were ascertained, was, conformably to the invariable sentiments and principles of his majesty, his highest wish, as well as his first duty. Only one method was left to avert the evil, without producing the still greater calamity, and encountering the incalculable dangers of a new war; and, under these new circumstances, the king owed it to himself, to the north of Germany, and likewise to the country which he was desirous of rescuing from farther misery, to embrace, without hesitation, this expedient, proffered to his majesty by the emperor of France.
It consisted in an agreement to be concluded with him, by which the German dominions of his Britannic majesty should be ceded, till the decision of their fate at the general peace, to his majesty himself, to be occupied by his troops, and subjected to his administration. This agreement has actually been concluded, and has been ratified by the two high contracting parties.
His majesty intends to address an explanation to his Britannic majesty himself, concerning the necessity and utility of this arrangement, as he has reason to expect, from his intelligence and justice, that he will consider the pressure of circumstances, and the decisive reasons for this measure, as just and impartial.
Meanwhile he has commissioned us to give your excellencies information of it, and to acquaint you with the immediate consequences of that arrangement, namely, the approaching occupation of the Hanoverian territories by a Prussian army, which will be under the orders of the general of Cavalry, count Schulenburg Kehnert, and with the nomination
of that nobleman, to be the commissary of the royal administration.
We do ourselves the honour to enclose to your excellencies the patent making known this occupation, and have nothing particular to add, but the repeated assurance, that, in thus taking the country under his protection and administration, his majesty intends and wishes nothing more ardently than the tranquility of the North of Germany, and to direct his administration, as he declares in the patent, to the highest benefit of the country and its inhabitants.
In consequence of the measures which has already been adopted, it cannot be doubted, that the country will soon be evacuated by the foreign troops which still remain in it, and, in particular, that the French garrison of Hameln will be immediately recalled to France; so that it will soon be left to be occupied and protected by the king's troops alone.
By the command of his majesty, we have still to fulfil the duty of requiring, that your excellencies, convinced of the benevolent intentions and sentiments of his majesty, will submit to, and acquiesce in the necessary arrangements, and the farther measures and regulations of the commissary of the administration, and the commission placed under him; and this he expects with confidence of you. The intention of his majesty is to change nothing whatever in the constitution of the internal courts of judicature, and to leave you in the exercise of your functions; but merely with the appellation of Hanoverian courts; as this is an indispensable condition of the arrangement concluded on this side, with the emperor of France; so that you shall be solely answerable to his majesty himself, and his commissary of administration, with respect to the duties of your offices, to the total exclusion of all foreign influence. We therefore earnestly request your excellencies to warn all the civil officers of the country to avoid the disagreeable consequences which would otherwise ensue. We remain, &c.
The king of Prussia's acting privy councillor of state.
(Signed) HARDENBERG. To the privy councillors of his Britannic majesty, the elector of Brunswick Luneburg, at Hanover.
FROM FRENCH PAPERS.
PARIS, March 31.
At three this afternoon, the Prince Arch-Chancellor of the Empire attended the Senate, where being received with the usual ceremony, his Serene Highness ordered the secretary of the senate to read the decree by which he was authorized to preside at the sitting. His Serene Highness then pronounced the following speech:
"GENTLEMEN, At the moment when France, uniting in intention with you, secures its happiness and its glory, in swearing to obey our august sovereign, your wisdom has foreseen the necessity of co-operating in every part of the system of hereditary government, and to establish it by institutions analogous to its nature."
"Your wishes are in part fulfilled, and will be still more so, by the different acts that his majesty the Emperor and King has prescribed to me for your sanction. Hence you will gratefully receive these new testimonials of his confidence in the senate, and his love for his people; and, conformably to his majesty's intentions, you will hasten to inscribe them upon your registers."
"The first of these acts is a statute containing the dispositions resulting from the 14th article of the act of the constitutions of Floreal 28th, of the year 12."
"This statute regulates every thing concerning the civil constitution of the imperial house, in prescribing the duties of the princes and princesses who compose it, towards the emperor."
"The fundamental principles of this important family law announces how much his majesty has at heart, that the dynasty of which he is the founder should perpetuate the happiness of France, and fulfil the sublime hopes of which it is the object."
"It is particularly for the interest of nations, that princes be educated in a manner superior to other men. The honours which they receive from their infancy are calculated to give more authority to the examples of submission and virtue, which is the principal debt they owe to their country."
"The accomplishment of their high destinies also requires, that they should be placed, almost from their birth, under the inspection of the father of the empire; in order that his vigilance may direct their inclinations for the interest of the state, and that the most severe morality should purify and enoble all their affections."
"The second act is a decree which unites the Venetian provinces to the kingdom of Italy. Thus this part of his majesty's states will receive, in consequence of this disposition, that new degree of importance and lustre, which the glory of its founder had reason to hope."
"By the 3d decree, his majesty confers the throne of Naples upon his highness prince Joseph, and his legitimate heirs male."
"He reserves to this prince the rights assured to him by the constitutions of the empire, in providing always that the crown of France and that of Naples shall never be united upon the same head."
"This glorious recompence of the services of prince Joseph, and his constant and pious affection for the head of the family, shall be for you, gentlemen, the subject of a lively satisfaction. And how much more active will not this sentiment become, in consequence of the elevation of a prince, the object of your love and veneration, when you are informed, that this elevation will not put an end to our connections with him; and when you know, that the new king of Naples is to preserve with his crown the title of Grand elector."
"Relative to the fourth and fifth decrees—one contains the cession of the duchies of Cleves and Berg, in their full sovereignty, to his highness prince Murat; the other confers the principality of Guastalla on her royal highness princess Paulina, and her spouse, the prince Borghese. The military glory of prince Murat, the splendour and importance of his successes, his publick and private virtues, will interest every Frenchman in the just reward that he has obtained, and render his authority dear to his new subjects. The safeguard of an important part of the frontiers of his majesty's empire will be entrusted to prince Murat. Can his majesty place it in worthier hands?"
"You had appreciated the merit of prince Borghese, even before your decrees had naturalized him among us. His conduct in the last campaign has given him new claims to your esteem and the publick confidence."
"The sixth decree transfers, in his complete sovereignty, the principality of Neufchatel to marshal Berthier. This affecting proof of the emperor's good will for an old companion in arms, and for a co-operator, as intrepid as intelligent, cannot fail to excite the sensibility of every good heart, as it will be a motive of joy in every well informed mind."
"The seventh decree affects the re-union of the countries of Massa, Carrara, and Garfagnana, to the principality of Lucca."
"In fine, gentlemen, the seventh decree establishes three great titles in the states of Parma and Piacenza, the splendour of which will be maintained by considerable revenue to be appropriated to that pur-
pose, in these countries, consistent with his majesty's orders."
"By the effect of similar reservations in the decrees relative to the states of Venice, the kingdom of Naples, and the principality of Lucca, his majesty has created recompences worthy of them, for several of his subjects, who have rendered him signal services in the war, or who have contributed in eminent offices, in any distinguished manner to the good of the state."
"It is the emperor's wish that the titles should become the property of those who receive them, and that they shall enjoy the right of transmitting them in the male line to the eldest of the legitimate descendants, as a monument of imperial munificence, and the just motives that excited these rewards. This grand conception, gentlemen, and the secondary measures that accompany it, shall make known to Europe the estimation that his majesty attaches to the exploits of the brave men who have seconded his labours, and to the fidelity of those whom he has employed in the direction of affairs of importance."
"This disposition offers, at the same time, political advantages that will not escape your foresight. The habitual splendour which surround men eminent in dignity, gives them with the people an authority of counsel and example, which the monarch can sometimes advantageously apply to increase the authority of the publick functions. On the other hand, the same men are the natural intercessors for the people at the throne; it is therefore consistent with the good of the state that by the stability and splendour of their situation, they shall be raised above every vulgar consideration."
"From these motives, the propriety of which is incontestible, other advantages arise, which will be easy in their application; and which, I believe, it will be superfluous to analyze."
"Such gentlemen, is the profound basis upon which his majesty wishes to establish the great political system, the idea of which was inspired into him by Divine providence. In securing the happiness of the present generation, in preparing the greatness of the future race, his majesty is incessantly adding to those sentiments of love, admiration, and respect, which you feel in common with the rest of the French nation."
Message of the Emperor and King. [The three first paragraphs are only a repetition of a part of the preceding discourse; the conclusion is as follows:]
"We have thought proper, under these circumstances, that several obligations, and some burthens, which were borne by our crown of Italy, should be defrayed by the king of Naples and the prince of Lucca."
"We have also found means to conciliate the interests, the dignity of our throne, and the sentiment of our gratitude, for the services which have been rendered us in the civil and military line. Whatever may be the powers to which Divine Providence and the love of our people have elevated us, it is not sufficient for the recompence of so many heroes, or for the acknowledgment of the numerous testimonies of love and fidelity which our person has experienced."
"You will perceive, in many of the dispositions which will be transmitted to you, that we have not solely abandoned ourselves to the sentiments of affection with which we have been penetrated, and to the happiness of doing good to those who have so faithfully served us: we have been chiefly influenced by the grand idea of consolidating social order, together with our throne, which is its basis and foundation; and to create points of correspondence and support to this great empire. This attaches itself to our dearest wishes, and that to which we have devoted our whole life, the greatness and prosperity of our people."

From the lists transmitted to the Holy Synod from the different Heptarchies of the Russian empire, it appears that the number of births in the year 1805, were males 715,534, females 642,953; total 1357,267. Marriages 311,788, deaths 789,818; of which there were males 439,137—females 350,681. So that, in the course of that year the number of births exceeded the mortality by 568,468 souls.

LONDON, April 19.
At the court at the queen's palace, the 16th April, 1806, present the king's most excellent majesty in council.
Whereas his majesty has received advice that his majesty the king of Prussia has taken possession of his majesty's electoral dominions in a forcible and hostile manner; and has also caused it to be notified to his majesty's minister at the court of Berlin, that all British ships were thenceforth to be excluded from the ports of the Prussian dominions, and from certain other ports in the north of Europe under the forcible control of Prussia in violation of the just rights and interests of his majesty and his dominions, and contrary to the established law and practice of nations at amity with each other: And whereas his majesty by and with the advice of his privy council, has been pleased to cause an embargo to be laid upon vessels belonging to the subjects of Prussia, now within or which hereafter shall come into any of the ports of the U. Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland, together with all persons and effects on board the said vessels: And whereas, the rivers Elbe, Weser, and Ems, and the free navigation thereof, will not, under these circumstances, be duly respected by his majesty's enemies, but will be rendered subject of the hostile measures above described; his majesty by and with the advice of his privy council, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that a general embargo or stop be made in like manner until further order from this board, on all ships and vessels belonging to persons residing in any ports or places situated upon the said rivers Elbe, Weser, and Ems, save and except vessels under the Danish flag, and also save and except, that in respect to the goods and effects on board such ships and vessels which shall have been laden in, or are coming consigned to any ports of the United Kingdom, the same shall be forthwith liberated and delivered up to the said laders and consignees respectively: And it is hereby farther ordered, that no property or freight money appearing to belong to any subject of Prussia, or to any persons residing as aforesaid, respecting which proceedings are now depending, or shall hereafter depend in any of his majesty's courts of prize, shall be decreed to be restored, nor shall the proceeds of any property or freight money belonging as aforesaid, which hath already been decreed to be restored, be paid to, or on behalf of the claimants, but the same shall be kept in safe custody, until his majesty's farther order herein: And it is further ordered, that no person residing within his majesty's dominions do presume to pay any freight money due or payable to, or on behalf of any person or persons being subjects, or residing within the dominions of the king of Prussia, or in the ports or places aforesaid, for the freight of merchandise laden on board any ship which is detained under the said embargo, or which shall hereafter be brought into any of the ports of his majesty's dominions, but that such freight money shall be forthwith paid into the registry of the high court of admiralty, there to remain until his majesty's pleasure shall be further known: or until other provisions shall be made by law: And whereas it has been represented to his majesty, that the goods on board several of the Prussian vessels so detained, or to be detained by the embargo, are the property of his majesty's subjects, or the property of persons not being subjects of Prussia; it is further ordered, that all goods on board any vessels detained under the said embargo, which were laden in, or coming consigned to ports of the United Kingdom, shall be delivered to the disposal of their owners or their agents, upon affidavit being made and produced in the high court of admiralty, that the said goods were not at the time of shipment, nor are now, the property of subjects of Prussia, and upon paying the freight due upon such goods into the registry of said court, and upon giving sufficient bail to abide adjudication in case any proceeding should be commenced against the said goods within two months from the date of such delivery.—And the right, hon. the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, the lords commissioners of the admiralty, and lord Warden of the cinque ports, and the judge of the high court of admiralty, are to give the necessary directions herein as to them may respectively appertain.
STEPH. COTTREL.
April 20. Near Betzese, a new Russian army of 100,000 men is assembling. Twenty regiments of Cossacks were at the date of the last accounts, hourly expected there. At Bobryn, all the tailors, shoemakers, &c. were put in requisition to provide clothing for the Russian troops, and were paid most liberally. The emperor of Germany allows the exportation of provisions, cattle, &c. from his dominions, for the support of the Russian army; and throughout the Hereditary States. M. Rochefoucault has remonstrated on the occasion, but the supplies are continued.
April 21.
The Cape of Good Hope is to be the grand military depot for the supply of our Asiatic possessions, the chief administration of which, it is said, is to be placed in the hands of Sir J. C. Hippisley, and that general Sincoe is to be commander in chief.
April 28.
We learn from Constantinople, that the Turkish troops upon the Russian frontiers are considerably increasing, which, with other circumstances has induced M. Italinski, the Russian minister, to demand explanation relative to these preparations, and that he was informed by the Reis Effendi, that such preparations were necessary for restoring and preserving peace in the interior of the Turkish empire. A considerable Turkish fleet is sitting out.
The promises and threats of France and Prussia to induce Denmark to exclude our flag from the Baltic, have been hitherto unavailing—the Danish ministry insist on a rigid neutrality; and it is probable that she will succeed in maintaining it.
The recent movements of the French on the Austrian frontiers and the reinforcement of their corps in Bavaria, have created much uneasiness at Vienna. On the arrival of a courier from Berthier, the French minister at Vienna communicated to the imperial cabinet the determination of his master to retain possession of Braunau until the affairs of Dalmatia were adjusted. Prince Schwaartzenberg was immediately dispatched to Paris, with a strong remonstrance on this violation of the treaty of Presburg.
The hostility of France towards Austria, which has recently manifested itself on numerous occasions, was lately insultingly expressed towards the Imperial minister Count Sutterheim. The Count on his return from Paris, whither he had been sent on a special mission stopped at Munich; but on the following day he received orders from the Bavarian government for his immediate departure; and an adjutant of Gen. Berthier attended to see the order enforced. It was the general opinion in Holland, that the peace will be of short duration. France appears desirous to strike a blow, before the extensive military arrangements now carrying on, under the orders of the Archduke Charles can be organized; and it is certain, that the unceasing accumulation of Russian troops on the Austrian frontiers is the occasion of the most serious solicitude to Buonaparte.
There was a report on Saturday that general Mack had been convicted of high treason, and condemned to suffer the pain of death. The trial of Lord Viscount Melville commences to-morrow morning.
The following message was presented in the house of Lords, by Lord Grenville, on the 21st of April, together with certain papers explanatory of the conduct of his majesty with respect to Prussia.—On the 23d, an address was agreed to be presented, "conformable to the message."
GEORGE R. His majesty thinks it proper to acquaint the house that he has found himself under the necessity of withdrawing his minister from the court of Berlin, and of adopting provisionally measures of just retaliation against the commerce and navigation of Prussia. His majesty deeply regrets the extension and aggravation of calamities already so severely felt, by the nations of the continent, whose independence and prosperity he has never ceased to consider as intimately connected with those of his own people. But measures of direct hostility, deliberately adopted against him, have left him no alternative.
In a moment of confidential intercourse, without even the presence of any cause of complaint, forcible possession has been taken by Prussia of his majesty's electoral dominions. Deeply as this event affected the interest of this kingdom, his majesty chose nevertheless to forbear on this painful occasion all recourse to the tried and affectionate attachment of his British subjects. He remonstrated by amicable negotiation against the injury he had sustained, and rested his claim for reparation on the moderation of his conduct, on the justice of his representations, and on the common interest which Prussia herself must ultimately feel to resist a system destructive of all the security of all legitimate possession. But when, instead of receiving assurances conformable to this expectation, his majesty was informed, that the determination had been taken of excluding by force the vessels and the commodities of this kingdom, from ports and countries under the lawful dominion or forcible control of Prussia, his majesty could no longer delay to act, without neglecting the first duty which he owes to his people. The dignity of his crown, and the interests of his subjects equally forbid his acquiescing in this open and unprovoked aggression; he has no doubt of the full support of his parliament in vindicating the honor of the British flag, and the freedom of the British navigation; and he will look with anxious expectation to that moment when a more dignified and enlightened policy on the part of Prussia shall remove every impediment to the renewal of peace and friendship with a power with whom his majesty has no other cause of difference than that now created by these hostile acts.
The state papers which accompanied this message, consist chiefly of notes between Mr. Fox and Mr. Hardenberg, and three proclamations issued by his Prussian majesty on his taking possession of Hanover. It appears that Denmark is expected to join with France and Prussia, in hostilities against Great-Britain. On this subject the Editor of the General Advertiser observes "Should Denmark, as there is but too much reason to fear, be likewise forced to adopt hostile measures, we should expect to see the vigour of administration exerted in an attack upon the Great Belt on the island of Zealand, upon which Copenhagen stands, the conquest of which would secure the passage of the Sound. Indeed there is a report of an armament getting forward, probably with this very destination."
From our correspondent at Lloyd's.
April 28. One Hamburg mail (the last of the two due yesterday) and four Gotterburgh mails reached town in the early part of this day.
A letter from Elsinuer, mentions a report very generally circulated there, that an engagement had taken place between some Prussian troops and those of Sweden, in Pomerania, and that the Prussians had taken an opportunity of quitting their standard and were gone over to the Swedes. Other letters say that a hundred thousand French and Prussian troops were proceeding against the Danish dominions, and were on their march to Jutland—if this be true, Tonningen must fall into their hands and that port be shut.
Various accounts are received to day, positively announcing the arrival at Cattaro of six Russian line of battle ships and 20,000 Russian troops; and that by order of the emperor Alexander, the most positive orders had been issued to close all the ports in the Adriatic against the entry or departure of any vessel whatever. The prompt and decided measures of the Russian prince renders this account far from being improbable; indeed, we have many respectable merchants, who have received letters upon this very important event, who do not hesitate to vouch for the fact. The French Express mentions the arrival at Ragusa of one Russian frigate—is it probable that Russia would send on so important a service a solitary frigate?
The trade at Hamburg and in its neighbourhood, had, as might very naturally be expected, felt a very serious check, and goods from Britain had greatly advanced in price; the language generally held out is, that it is quite impossible that things can long continue in their present state, and that one or the other of the contending parties must shortly give way.
Hamburg papers arrived yesterday of the 16th and 18th inst.
The passage through the frontiers of Dalmatia is said to have been granted to the French troops, whose number is rapidly increasing. Forty thousand are already in the province, a force, we should think, equal to the commencing hostilities against the Russians.—No attack however has yet been made upon them, and they remain in possession of Castel Nuovo, and all the forts and garrisons in Albania within
12 leagues. In contradiction to the assertions of the Moniteur, which stated that Gen. Brady, with two thousand Austrians, had surrendered Castel Nuovo to 300 Russians, we find it stated in the Hamburg papers, that the Russians were superior in force to the Austrians.—In the articles of capitulation by which the place was surrendered it expressly declared that Albania, being now considered to be in the hands of the French, is taken possession of upon that understanding. The French had advanced to the frontiers of Ragusa; but the appearance of a Russian frigate in the harbour induced them to retreat.
Count Haugwitz has definitively succeeded count Hardenberg, as minister for foreign affairs—an appointment which is viewed with one sentiment of disapprobation and disgust at Berlin. The patriotic count Hardenberg has retired to his estates; a long conference took place on the day of his delivering up the porte feuille , between him and count Haugwitz, in which the latter is said to have received some rebukes of the most severe and cutting nature.
One of the first acts of Haugwitz's administration is expected to be a declaration of war against Sweden. General Kalkreuth's corps, which is on the frontiers of Swedish Pomerania, has received orders to hold itself in readiness to march at an hour's notice. Yet the Swedish head-quarters which had been removed from Lauenburg to Ratzeburg, have advanced again, and are now at Boeken, nearer Lauenburg.
The report that Holland is destined to be given to Louis Buonaparte, seems to be on the point of receiving the fullest confirmation. A deputation is even believed to have already set out for Paris, to prevail upon the prince to honour them by the acceptance of the sovereign power.
The number of the Russian troops in Albania, is stated to be 20,000; the Montenegrins are said to have risen in a mass and joined them; the Turks are also said to have declared in their favour. One sentiment of detestation of the French pervade Dalmatia.
Prince Joachim Murat is to have his principality augmented by the accession of Juliers, which is to be ceded to him by Bavaria. The southern Tyrol is also to be ceded and annexed to the kingdom of Italy.
GREENOCK, May 2.
Baron Hardenberg, it appears, has at length formally resigned. Count Haugwitz has been appointed minister of foreign affairs.
The intelligence of the detention and capture of Prussian ships, has produced considerable agitation both at Berlin and Hamburg; where, however, hopes continue to be entertained that the Prussian rivers will not be blockedaded!
Permission, as it is called, is said to have been granted to the French to pass through the Austrian territory, and 40,000 men are on their march towards Dalmatia.
The German papers contain no further news from Naples, than that Prince Joseph is to make a visit to Upper Italy for a short time. This looks as if he did not feel himself comfortably accommodated in the former country.
Private letters from Hamburg, are said to state, that Austria has declared in favour of Russia. This report is not sanctioned by any of the German Papers.
HAMBURGH, April 21.
Letters have been received here which assert, that an English squadron of six sail of the line has passed the Sound, to cruise in the Baltic.
PRESEBURGH, April 4.
The Gazette of this city contains the following article, dated Carlo-bago, March 23:—
"We yesterday received positive intelligence of the occupation of Cattaro, and a part of Dalmatia, by the Russian troops. The Montenegrins had at first taken possession of some villages and had agreed with the inhabitants to defend the entrance of the country against the French till the arrival of the Russians, six Russian ships and 20,000 troops which soon after arrived. The necessary preparations were then made for a vigorous opposition to an attack on the part of the French. All the passages by which they could enter were fortified and filled with troops and artillery, in such a manner that it appeared almost impossible to force them."
"The number of the combined troops is said to amount to 20,000. They are defended by the nature of the ground, and have no provisions for a long time. No Frenchmen have yet appeared in these environs, and we are assured that they do not extend beyond Macarsco."
"According to other accounts, the Montenegrins have risen en masse to stop the efforts of the French, and we are assured that the Turks of the countries have joined them and the Russians."
VENICE, April 2. —The Russians and English have blockaded this port twelve days past, and suffer no vessel to enter or go out. The harbour is full of Venetian vessels, whose inactivity causes the greatest detriment to our commerce. Trieste profits, and is enriched by this, because its vessels sail under the Austrian flag which is neutral.
It is apprehended, not without foundation, that if the war continues the Austrians and English will blockade all the ports of Italy.

PROPOSALS
For Publishing by Subscription, in London and Philadelphia,
A Monthly Magazine, On an Entire New Plan—And to be entitled
THE BRITISH OILIO;
AND
NORTH AMERICAN MUSEUM.
This work is intended to be equally useful and entertaining, to the readers of both nations. It is commenced with a hope of concentrating their literary taste—of forming an union, and co-operation of classical talents; and thus, rendering it a depository of general information. An union of this description, abstracted from political disquisition, should prevail throughout the civilized world.
It will be interspersed with a variety of curious anecdotes and information, respecting the manners and customs of the interior parts of Britain and America. For this purpose, a considerable part will be appropriated, to the present state of the United States—comprising the gleanings of a fifteen years residence therein. It was intended to publish this in volumes, as a distinct work, in the manner of CARR'S "Stranger in France," and "Northern Summer;" but it is now reserved for the body of this work; which would have cost a reader, perhaps four-fold the price of his subscription to this MAGAZINE.
In addition will be given, the occurrences of both Countries.—An Impartial Account of the Political and Commercial Intelligence.—Literary, Law, Agricultural, Theatrical Intelligence, and Provincial Occurrences.—New Publications, and discoveries.—In fine, whatever may be worthy of information. In the selections, the best Authors shall be carefully resorted to, and no pains spared to render the whole worthy of patronage, on each side the Atlantic.
From a plan like this, the American Citizen , will be furnished Monthly—with the Literary, Commercial, and Political State of Great Britain; while, in the same number, he may meet with Domestic Occurrences, which have not been noticed, even by his own Diurnal Prints. The English Reader, too, far removed from his Native Land, may calculate upon equal advantages; for, besides every thing necessary for his information can be found in London Periodical Publications, he will be gratified with a minute description of a country, rapidly advancing in Commerce, Literature, and the Arts and Sciences.
CONDITIONS.
This work will contain the same number of pages, as the London or American Literary Magazines; and each number, in case of adequate support, will be ornamented with Copper Plate Engravings, by the best Artists, descriptive of some memorable transaction interesting to both countries; or, Portraits of such eminent Characters, as may, from time to time, be brought forward in the course of the publication.
Subscriptions for not less than one year, at FIFTY CENTS per number, which it is hoped will cover expenses, at all events the price shall not exceed Sixty-two and a half Cents, received by the EDITOR OF THE PUBLICK LEDGER, and generally, at the Book stores throughout the United States.
Those inclined to Patronise, will please to make immediate application; that the Editor may form some judgement as to the Embellishments of the work.
Subscription papers to be returned, previous to the first of November next. April 25. tf 693
Whereas my wife ELIZA STUART ,
twelve months since eloped from my bed and board; this is to give notice that I will pay no debts of her contracting.
