BOSTON, May 30.
The following is an extract of a letter to a gentleman in this town, from one of the most respectable commercial houses in Lisbon, dated April 16, 1803. "Referring you to what we did ourselves the pleasure of writing on the 6th inst. the object of the present is to advise the still further depression of our market for your produce. Owing to the continual arrivals, flour is now nominally at six dollars per barrel, and we have reason to think will go still lower. Wheat may be quoted at one and a half dollars per bushel, with little demand.—Indian corn 80 cents do. with the probability of a rising advance, should no considerable importations take place, this being the season of its greatest demand.—Fruit and salt are on the rise—and exchange on London at 67 3-4. "We are rather more easy on the subject of the existing differences between France and England, the last post having brought advice that Russia, Prussia, and the emperor, having agreed to guarantee the island of Malta to the Order—a bone of contention is thus removed, and from this proceeding there is ground to believe that their interference will be employed for the removal of other causes of dispute, and the establishment of a peace on solid grounds. God grant this may be the case."
NEW-YORK, May 30.
Captain Joy, of the brig Thetis from Bourdeaux, left that port on the 28th of April; at which time, he informs us, no circumstance had occurred by which the momentous question of peace or war could be decided. We have seen letters of the 23rd from gentlemen of the first respectability in Bourdeaux, which express an opinion (grounded principally on the frequent interchange of corners, the length of the negotiation, and the little preparations for war making by the French) that the dispute between the two governments will be amicably adjusted.
PHILADELPHIA, May 29.
A maritime expedition is fitting out at Petersburg in Russia, at the expence of a company of American merchants, and it is to proceed from the Cape of Good Hope to Kamtschatka. It has its object to establish an exchange between the productions of Siberia and the Isle of China.

MALTA.
[From the Moniteur.]
PARIS, April 7.
IN virtue of an agreement made between the great powers interested in the Order of Malta, and consented to by his Britannic Majesty, on the 18th of June, 1802, the nomination of the Grand Master of Malta was referred, for this time, to the Holy See, or the Priories of the Order. The Holy Father and the priors acceded to this arrangement.
His Holiness, in consequence, nominated, on the 30th of February, 1803, as Grand Master of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, M. Baillie de Tonnay, who accepted his nomination.
The new Grand Master thought it necessary to dispatch to Malta the commander Bussy, whom he appointed to that effect his plenipotentiary and lieutenant. This Knight arrived in the island the 28th of February. The following documents will show what has hitherto been the result of his mission.
Letter of the commander Bussy to the minister of England at Malta.
SIR,
"I had this morning, the honor to state to your excellency the object of the mission which his most eminent highness the Grand Master of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem has charged me to fulfil at Malta.
"To this statement your excellency replied, that you had no order to cause the island of Malta to be evacuated by the English garrison, and give me to understand, that it would be better for the Grand Master not to repair thither.
"After having reflected upon this answer of your excellency, I was of opinion not only that it was not so satisfactory as his most eminent highness had reason to expect, but also that it required a farther explanation.
"As the answer of your excellency seemed to contain a refusal to surrender the island of Malta to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, conformably to the 10th article of the treaty of Amiens; and that such violation of the treaty of peace may have the most important, I would even say, the most fatal, consequences, as to the repose of Europe, I cannot rest satisfied with the verbal answer which your excellency has been pleased to give me; and I should betray the confidence of the Grand Master, as well as the duty and the dignity belonging to the character with which he has invested me, did I not request you, Sir, to state in an explicit and authentic manner, the grounds of so unexpected a refusal.
"I have, therefore, the honor to remind your excellency, that conformably to the fourth paragraph of the 13th Article of the treaty of Amiens, the forces of his Britannic Majesty were to evacuate the island and its dependencies in three months after the ratifications being exchanged, or sooner, if possible.
"This period has long expired. The treaty adds, "that the island shall be given up to the Order in its present state, provided the Grand Master or Commissioners fully authorized according to the statutes of the Order, shall be in the said island, to take possession of it, and that the force to be furnished by his Sicilian Majesty shall have arrived therein."
"This force has likewise long since arrived. There then remained only one condition to be performed, that of the presence of the Grand Master or his commissioners, to take possession of it. I have the honor to observe to your excellency, that this condition has just been complied with by the very act of my arrival in this island. His most eminent highness, the Grand Master, has condescended to confer upon me the character of his Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, to come in his name to "treat, conduct, finish, accomplish and concert, with the English and French Plenipotentiaries, and also with the existing English Government of the island, all the articles relative to the return of the Order to Malta, and particularly what may have for their object the disembarkation and entrance of the Order into the island, with the surrender of the island, &c." Such are the terms of the full powers of which I have the honor to send your excellency the annexed copy.
"According to the tenor of these full powers, and the accomplishment of the different conditions stipulated by the treaty of Amiens for the surrender, of the island of Malta to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, I formally demand of your excellency the execution of the tenth article, sec. 4, of the said treaty, and I request you will, upon this point, give me a categorical answer.
"I intreat your excellency will be pleased to accept the assurance of my high consideration.
(Signed)
"BUSY."
ANSWER
Of the minister of England to the commander, M. Bussy.
MALTA, March 2, 1803.
SIR,
"I have just received the letter your excellency did me the honor to write to me yesterday, expressing the little satisfaction you derived from my verbal communication relative to the object of your mission, and requesting that I should state in writing my reasons for refusing to deliver up the govern-
ment of these islands on the arrival of his Eminence the Grand Master of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.
"In answer, I beg leave to observe, that as some of the powers invited in terms of the tenth article of the treaty of Amiens, to guarantee the independence of Malta, have not yet acceded to that measure, I do not think myself authorized to put an end to the government of his Britannic Majesty in this place, until I receive special instructions from my court.
"Your excellency observes that I will to disserve the Grand Master from coming to reside here. Your excellency may recollect that I spoke to you, upon your observing that the Grand Master expected to have immediate possession of the Palace of Government in the fort of Valetta, I informed you, that in the present circumstances, I could not accede to the request of his excellency, for it is absolutely necessary that his excellency, General Villette, and myself, should continue to occupy this Palace for the official affairs of our respective departments.
"I beg, however, to remind your excellency, that I, at the same time offered the Palace of the Bochetta, for the residence of the Grand Master, a situation which I conceived in every respect convenient for his Eminence, until the period when he might assume the direction of government.
"But as the Palace of the Bochetta is not at present provided with furniture, I took the liberty of suggesting, that it would be more convenient to remain some time in Scicily; and the more so, as his excellency's residence there would keep him at the distance only of a day's sail from this island.
"For the rest, his Eminence may be assured, that the moment I shall think myself authorized to resign the Government, I shall give him due information.
"I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, your excellency's most humble and most obedient servant. (Signed) "ALEX. BALL."
LONDON, April 14.
In the event of a war between Great Britain and France, the emperor or Germany has, it is said, determined that the strictest neutrality shall be observed in his ports in the Adriatic.
Letters from Hamburg state, that Prussia has engaged, in the event of a war, to occupy with her troops the banks of the Elbe as far as Cuxhaven, and the whole electorate of Hanover. The same letters express much apprehensions that in case of Hostilities Hamburg and its territory will be occupied by French or Prussian troops in order to prevent the introduction of British manufactures into that part of Germany.
THE LATE FATAL DUEL.
The parties engaged in the duel which we mentioned yesterday, were Lieut. Col. Montgomery, of the 9th foot and Capt. Macnamara, late of the Cerberus frigate. The quarrel arose in Hyde Park, about 4 o'clock on Wednesday. Colonel Montgomery frequently rode there a beautiful white Arabian, followed by a favorite Newfoundland dog. One of his horses being ill, the Colonel was not on Wednesday attended by his servant. Capt. Macnamara was also on horseback, followed by a dog. The two dogs quarrelled near the Serpentine river, on the grass, between the ride and the water. Col. Montgomery got off his horse to separate them; they were tumbling over each other, and Capt. Macnamara's being uppermost, having the best of the battle, the other being a young dog, Col. Montgomery went up to separate them; laying—"come off, or I'll knock your brains out." By this time Capt. Macnamara had alighted, and coming up said "if you do, I'll knock your brains out." Col. Montgomery answered that it was not language for a gentleman. Very high and warm words arose; and a number of gentlemen came around: the parties exchanged addresses. At the meeting the parties took their ground at twelve paces distance. They were each remarkably good shots, and it was agreed they should both fire at once by a signal. They fired one round, when Capt. Macnamara entered the right side of Col. Macnamara's chest, and taking a direction to the left, most probably went immediately through the heart—he instantly fell, without uttering a word, but rolled over two or three times, as if in great agony and groaned. Col. M's ball went through Capt. M. entering on the right side just above the hip, and passing through the left side, carrying part of the coat and waistcoat in with it, taking part of his leather breeches and the hip button away with it on the other side.
On the evening of Thursday last a coroner's jury was assembled at the Chalk Farm Tavern, to view the body of the late Colonel Montgomery. In consequence of the absence of material witnesses, the full enquiry into the business was postponed till Friday night, when the jury met at the Southampton Arms public house, at the further end of Pancras. Surgeon Heavside stated that he saw the duel; and that when Colonel Montgomery fell, he ran up, and saw that the ball had passed between the 6th and 7th ribs, which were broken; and he afterwards extracted it from the left shoulder blade. He had no doubt but the death was occasioned by the pistol shot.
Lord Doughty, Mr. S. Sloane, of Jermyn Street, Mr. Sloane, and Mr. Macnamara, nephew to capt. Macnamara; who were all present at Hyde Park, on Wednesday, when the dispute took place, in consequence of the dogs his bgn vaug etc fight; gave nearly the following account of the affair. Colonel Montgomery's dog being the larger and stronger of the two, appeared to have the advantage of the other, on which captain Macnamara desired colonel Montgomery to call his dog off. Colonel Montgomery made no answer to his request, but immediately after said, he would knock captain Macnamara's dog down, if he should hurt his dog. Captain Macnamara replied—"Sir, if you knock my dog down, you must knock me down also." Colonel Montgomery said—"Why did you not dismiss from your horse and take your dog away?" Captain Macnamara said—"I am an officer in his Majesty's navy, and unaccustomed to such arrogant language." Colonel Montgomery rejoined—"Sir, if you conceive yourself injured, you know where I live." At the same time he gave captain Macnamara his address, adding, "You ought to take care of your dog." Captain Macnamara replied—"I shall do that without your permission." He then rode on, and colonel Montgomery followed at some distance behind. It appeared, that immediately after this captain Barry, of the navy, who was riding along with captain Macnamara, was sent by the latter to colonel Montgomery, to inform him, that captain M. was ready to meet him. Captain B. immediately returned, and informed captain Macnamara that col. M. had appointed to decide the dispute in two hours; that he would meet at Primrose Hill with pistols, the only weapon that gentleman made use of. It also appeared that col. Montgomery had sent for William Lier to be his second. On the arrival of the parties at Primrose Hill, captain Barry interfered, and told col. Montgomery that he might apologize to captain Macnamara. Sir William Lier made some answer, which was rejected by the colonel, and Sir William proceeded to mark the ground. Each of the parties then took a pistol, and at the distance of twelve paces fired at the same time. Colonel Montgomery appeared to have taken two aims before he fired. He fell at the moment of the fire. Captain Macnamara appeared to be very anxious to know if any danger had happened to his antagonist. It is stated that his passion cooled when the duel took place; and evidence was brought to prove that no previous malice existed between the parties. The whole of the evidence being gone through, Mr. Hodgson, the coroner, told the jury it appeared that the deceased had given the first affront; and that the delivery of his address in the Park amounted to a challenge. If the jury should be of this opinion, he said they must find a verdict only of manslaughter, the parties having acted under the influence of passion, and without any previous malice. The jury, after about five minutes deliberation accordingly brought in a verdict of manslaughter. The inquest was not over until half past twelve.
In consequence of this unfortunate duel, Sir Richard Ford caused captain Macnamara to be but under an arrest of the civil power; but as he was unable to be removed he is at present permitted to remain in his apartments. Colonel Montgomery was the son of Sir William Montgomery, Bart. of Dublin, who was also father to the late Mrs. Gardiner, mother of the present Lord Mountjoy, the late Mrs. Beresford, and the present Marchioness Townshend. Those ladies, from their beauties and accomplishments, were called the Graces. Sir William married, secondly, Miss Evatt, a lady not more remarkable for beauty than amiableness of disposition. Mrs. Byng, colonel Montgomery, and Mrs. Regnell, of castle Reynell, were by this second marriage.
The disastrous and melancholy news of the death of Lord Montgomery, late Lord Chief Baron of Scotland, and uncle to the late unfortunate col. Montgomery, only arrived in town by express at the Marquis of Townshend's a few hours before the arrival of the unhappy tidings of the death of col. Montgomery at Chalk Farm.
The remains of the unfortunate col. Montgomery, were interred yesterday morning about nine o'clock, in a vault in St. James's church. Only one mourning coach attended, in which were three of his particular friends. Col. Kier set off for France immediately after the duel took place. Sir William Kier fought a duel in Ireland about four years ago, in which he received a shot in his left arm. The wound which it occasioned, through neglect, turned to a mortification, and Sir William was under the necessity of having it amputated while serving in Ireland. A short time afterwards, in the rebellion, a shot from a cannon hit the sleeve of his coat, which must inevitably have taken off his arm, had he not previously lost it. He has often, on relating the affair, remarked with pleasure, that he was fortunate in having been beforehand with the shot.
On Friday lord Nelson spent about three quarters of an hour with captain Macnamara; and in the course of the day a great number of naval and military officers called at the hotel and left their cards.
Captain Macnamara is a naval officer, who has much distinguished himself in two or three actions, as commander of the Cerberus frigate. He served long on the Cork station, and lastly in the West Indies, from whence he lately returned; and his ship was about two months ago paid off at Chatham. We believe he was on the eve of marriage to a young lady from Cork, with a fortune of 10,000l. He was about 36 years of age—a strong, bold, active man. He has fought two or three duels before, & was remarkable at Cork for keeping the turbulent in awe.
Specimen of British Liberty.
On Tuesday last arrived the ship Sally, from Bristol in forty days. Captain Burger informs, that ten days before he left there a frigate arrived in the roads under a pretence of shipping volunteers, but shortly after sent a body of seamen, marines, and officers, well armed, up to town to press men; they took the evening to commit barbarous deeds. Many poor fellows were dragged from the public houses, and picked up in the streets, insulted and beat without provocation. Much blood was lost on both sides. Finding themselves so strongly repulsed by the inhabitants they were obliged to call for aid from the standing army. On Sunday at the time of service they took all the pressed men, under a strong guard to march them down to the ship, under drawn swords and fixed bayonets—in passing through the out skirts of the town, they were mobbed, with stones, mostly by women; from this spirited attack the gang & marines, being much intoxicated, fired upon the mob and killed several people—thus they got off with their men that were followed by their wives and children down to the boats. If this be liberty, what is slavery?
In an article from Stuttgart we are presented with a curious statement of the sort of conduct which Bonaparte has chalked out for the powers of the continent, in their relations with this country. The article clearly betrays its Prussian origin; and though not the official production of the French government, is written in that style which is conformant to its views. The system which is to be pursued with respect to this country is neither more nor less than this—England is to be degraded from the high rank she has long held among the states of Europe. She is to be reduced to the rank of a secondary power. She is to be allowed to take no interest in the politics of the continent. Her system is to be as insulted as her situation. On these principles and grounds alone can the repose of the continent depend. This is not a hypothetical plan or policy; but according to the Stuttgart politician, it has already begun to be reduced into practice, and will hereafter be steadily pursued. It is a singular circumstance that the first consul's act of mediation to Switzerland has been communicated to all the great powers of Europe, with the exception of England. The grounds of this exception are unequivocally explained in the articles to which we have alluded. The English government received no communication on the subject, because England "has nothing at all to do with the condition of a state situated in the centre of Europe." This doctrine, which has more than once been indirectly countenanced in the Official Journal, exceeds in absurdity whatever has been broached on the subject of the law of nations for ten centuries. If it were possible to find a British statesman, that would not hazard all, rather than admit this doctrine, he ought to lose his head.

ON Monday last, about sun-set, a most horrid murder was committed on the body of Polly Malony, a girl about nine years of age, the circumstances of which are as follows.—A certain John Rowe, late from Kentucky, and uncle by marriage to the girl, had obtained leave from her step father, William Thomas, to let her go to his house and stay all night. They set out a little before sun set; they were both on foot—Rowe had an axe on his shoulder and a rope in his hand. About three quarters of a mile from where they set out, an aged woman met Rowe, and the girl was not with him; he spoke to the woman and passed on; he was on his way home on the country road, and had got about twenty rods beyond where the body was found, but the woman is confident that the body was not there then. It appeared that soon after he met the woman he returned back to Thomas's
fence and began to shout and smite the trees with his axe, crying out "Polly is killed and I am undone; I never shall get over it, &c." The distressed mother almost frantic, took the road and ran after her husband, who carried one of the children. Rowe kept with him. Thomas asked him how she got killed.—Rowe said he fell off the horse across a log. Thomas knowing they had no horse, asked what horse? Rowe said he did not know, he could not tell how she got killed. The outcries of the mother drew a number of the neighbours together, about the same time that Thomas and Rowe came to the body, the mother said, oh John, you have killed my child! On which he drew his knife and swore he would cut his own throat if he accused him; he however, suffered her quietly to take the knife out of his hand. It was thought expedient to take Rowe into custody, and he was bound and kept beside the corps in the woods, during the night.
After he was taken into custody, he denied having any knowledge of the girl's having been with him, or of his going back to Thomas's to tell of her death. When asked, what induced him to turn back again, he said he remembered nothing about it. The woman who met him on the road, asked him if he remembered meeting her; he said he did, but some time after said he had forgot it. When asked if he touched the girl, when he found her dead, he said he did not. When asked what he thought when he found her, he said he was much surprised, but could give no account how he came to return. It is certain that he had been drinking, but it was not perceived upon him. Several circumstances concurred to prevent an inquest from being called. The coroner lives remote from the place where the murder was committed; it was also uncertain whether the old coroner or the new one was in commission. The magistrates were not furnished with the acts of assembly, defining the duties of coroners and others in such cases. No person was willing to take a journey of 60 or 80 miles voluntarily, and none knew how to compel them. In addition to these difficulties, the waters had rendered the roads difficult, if not impassable, and the warm season would soon have rendered the body highly putrescent. A number of respectable matrons were called to examine the body; they agreed that a rape had been committed or attempted upon her. To satisfy the numerous spectators, twelve men were sworn to examine her wounds and other circumstances relating to her death. It appeared to have been occasioned by a blow upon her right temple; there was an orifice, which would have admitted a large pen, out of which it is supposed, about a quart of blood had issued; the wound seemed rather a contusion than a puncture, as the continuity was destroyed on all sides of the orifice, though the skin remained whole. It was supposed that he was not killed where he was found, but the place could not be ascertained—there was found blood on the handle of his axe & in his (Rowe's) trowers.
He was committed to the jail at Wilmington, by Alexander Martin and Amos Ellis, justices of the peace. It was with regret we saw him led up to touch the body upon the stale and ridiculous notion, that dead bodies and even dry bones would bleed afresh, if touched by the murderer. The event was as any wise man in his senses would expect.—Let us not, however, be too severe in censuring their credulity—our progress from ignorance to knowledge is but slow. Let the benevolent drop a tear of compassion over suffering innocence. Let the sons of lewdness take a timely warning, and learn to check the first motions of inordinate desire, and remember that lust, when it is conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Let those who are given to drunkenness, reflect upon the danger and misery to which they frequently expose themselves and connections, by such acts of intemperance. Let us all attend to the admonitions of our divine teacher, to watch and pray lest we enter into temptation. And finally, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
CHILLICOTHE, June 4.
Wednesday last, an express arrived here from Mad river, with the following communications, addressed to the governor.
GENTLEMEN,
In answer to your favor of the 23d inst. received on the 25th, with its unhappy contents, has been duly attended to. I have called a number of chiefs of the Wiandot nation together, and here forward you their answers, and shall continue to do every thing in my power to give full satisfaction to my fellow citizens.
I am gentlemen, Your humble servant,
ISAAC ZANE.
Head of Mad River, } April 28, 1803. } Messrs. Elias Langham and Duncan M c Arthur—Chillicothe.
Report of a council, held at the head of Mad River, by several Wiandot chiefs, respecting the tenure of a letter to Isaac Zane, from Elias Langham and Duncan M c Arthur.
We address to the militia, and request that they will not be rash about what has happened, and that they will look

before them and have pity on our children and theirs.
Clear your mouth—wipe the tears from your eyes, & open your ears so that you may hear what we have to say.
We wish you not to be rash on this subject; we do not know how it will be, but we shall find out who has come to this mischief; you must not think it long, but we shall find it, and then we will have a fair council among us.
Father, (Governor.)
Now we address you, and request of you to recollect the law that was made by the treaty, that it was relied assured on both sides that if there were people to break this law of friendship, that it would be bad people alone that should or would violate our friendship; but we must take care that the innocent must not suffer for the guilty.
We shall be stirring in finding out the murderer, and if we find him first we shall acquaint you immediately.
Our present opinion is, that it is some people of a great distance, that are now living among us, with a mind of clearing off to their own country and with to break our friendship.
We send you a belt, in testimony of our continued friendship.

Report of a council held at Mad River, by the chiefs of the Mingo nation, respecting the contents of a letter, dated the 2d of May, from Col. Langham and Duncan M'Artur, concerning the unhappy circumstance that has lately happened.
ADDRESS.
Dry your tears and refrain from weeping until we have time to exert ourselves in every respect to find out who has done this mischief, which we will certainly do. You must expect that we feel the same grief at heart with yourselves, for the loss of our brother.
We request that you will consider our situation and not distress us, and punish the innocent for the guilty.
We are living in the bounds of our brothers, the white people's land and it is our wish to live in friendship with them.
We are led to believe that it is people from a large distance that has done this mischief, that wishes to breed discord among us and then fly to their own country. Be this as it may, we will use every exertion to find out the murderer and with all possible expedition let you know. At the same time humbly request that you will not use any distressing means, until you hear from us again.
This from your affectionate Friends and Brothers, UNDEADEHO, a Mingo, (Turtle Tribe.) PETEANOCKWAY, a Shawnee, (Wolf Tribe.) This we send by our trusty friend and brother, James M'Pheron, and live in hopes and expectation that he will bring us a friendly answer from our distressed brothers. To his Excellency EDWARD TIFFIN Esq. Governor of the State of Ohio.
To the chiefs of the Wiandot and Mingo nations of Indians.
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS, I have received by your trusty friend and brother, James M'Pheron, the reports of your councils, held at the head of Mad River, on the 23d and 28th of May, and am extremely happy to hear from you on this melancholy occasion. I will relate to you the unhappy occurrences that have happened: On the 20th of last month, an Indian, of what nation I know not, attacked Capt. Herod, on the north side of Paint creek, near the old town, and in a cruel manner, shot him, tomahawked and scalped him, without any provocation whatever. W were much distressed on this occasion fearing that it might provoke some of our inconsiderate people to revenge his death upon an innocent person of your people.
Our fears were too well founded; for on Monday following, as two or three of our men were riding through a Prairie, near the old town, they discovered an Indian, and in an ungenerous manner put him to death. From the description we have of him, we fear it is Waw Wihlaway, a Shawnee, though of this we are not quite certain. Before he fell he killed one of our white men and wounded another.
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS, We mean not to let the Indian's death pass unnoticed; as soon as the wounded man who killed him is in a situation from his wounds, he will be delivered up to the laws of his country.
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS, We have now lost two men, and you have lost one, and although the Indians
were the first aggressors, yet we do not mean that the harmony which has heretofore subsisted between our nations and our government, shall be further interrupted on our part, we have confidence in your declarations, that you will exert yourselves to find out the Indian who murdered Capt. Herod, and deliver him up, that he may be dealt with according to law, as well as the white man who murdered the Indian, as examples to deter the inconsiderate both of your people and ours, from committing acts of hostility, which may endanger the peace and happiness of both sides.
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS,
Wipe the tears from your eyes, and rest assured of our real disposition to respect your rights, and live in habits of friendship and brotherhood with you. We will caution all our frontier people to that effect, and request that you, in like manner, will be particular in cautioning all your young warriors and hunters to cultivate peace and friendship with our people.
We receive your Belt, in testimony of your continued friendship, and request you to accept our sincere wishes that the Great Spirit may direct your people and ours, to the cultivation of peace and friendship towards each other.

LEXINGTON, JUNE 21.
MR. EDITOR,
THE following extract of a letter from New Orleans, of 20th ult. will shew how our citizens, when trespassing the laws of the country, injure the agricultural and commercial interest of the state, as well as our national character. If committees or associations of farmers, millers and shippers, could be formed in each shipping county, to prosecute the transgressors of the laws, at a joint expence, much good might be done. I most cordially wish to promote such a plan, or any other more likely to protect our character as well as our interest. I request you to publish the extract, and the section of the laws of Kentucky, to prevent the shipping of flour without inspection, according to law.
W. W. Lexington, 20th June, 1803.
EXTRACT.—"The reputation of Kentucky flour, formerly bad enough, is this year ten times worse than ever, so much Weavel eaten flour; & even old flour with holes filled with fresh flour, has been sold here, that while Monongahela flour sells readily at seven dollars, ours goes a begging at five to five and a half."
An act to amend an act entitled "An act to establish an inspection of Flour and Hemp."
Sec. 5. Provided always and be it further enacted, that any person or persons exporting flour to foreign markets, failing to have the same previously inspected according to law, shall forfeit such flour so exported, or the value thereof, to be recovered before a justice of the peace, or in any court of record having cognizance in like cases, one half to the informer, the other half to the commonwealth, to be collected and paid into the public treasury, by the sheriff of the county where the same may be recovered. And in case of any suit or suits hereafter brought to recover the penalty for the exportation of uninspected flour, the plaintiff shall be entitled to recover, unless the defendant prove that the flour in question was inspected previous to exportation, by producing to the jury, or justice before whom the cause shall be tried, the inspector's certificate of inspection, or other satisfactory proof.

It is confidently reported, that letters have been received in this city from France to the end of April, which state, that Mr. Monroe had arrived in Paris, where he had been cordially received by the French Government; and that it was generally understood that Mr. Monroe had succeeded in an arrangement by which the United States will acquire important territorial rights on the Mississippi.
Since writing the above, we have obtained from a respectable commercial house the following extract of a letter, from their correspondent at Bordeaux, Dated April 24.
"It is certain that Mr. Monroe's negotiation at Paris is in a fair way. It is even said that there is no doubt about the cession of Louisiana to the United States, on condition that the latter settle all the claims of their individuals against the French Republic, and pay three millions of dollars in the bargain." Phila. paper.
In many of the foreign prints, the President of these states is spoken of with the respect due to his talents and patriotism. In a late Paris paper, his last message to Congress is styled "a monument of the blessings which flow from a republican government, where economy in the administration, and unembarrassed industry in the people, form the great leading features." "When" continues the same paper, "the complication of government is dismissed, and the nation is engaged in useful pursuits, wealth, and the reduction of taxes is the happy consequence! Mr. Jefferson is pursuing this plan. The dignity of his administration results from its simplicity and justice. His glory consists in doing good." [Alb. Reg.]
Of European affairs.
The intelligence, communicated in this day's Gazette, is more conclusive, as to the disposition of France and England, than any information hitherto received. Affairs are evidently coming to a crisis, and there can be little doubt from present appearances, that war is inevitable. It seems, a formal demand of the surrender of Malta has been made in compliance with the 13th article of the treaty of Amiens, and a direct refusal on the part of the English minister. It seems the latter nation are determined not to suffer the government of that island to pass out of their hands until the other powers of Europe shall effectually guarantee its independence of any controul of the chief consul; this, however, in the present situation of Europe, is morally impossible, as the neighbouring Italian states, are in every political view, mere colonies of France. Its consequence to the English, as it respects their East-India trade, is of the highest importance, and in the hands of Bonaparte, it would be a strong hold in effecting his design on the commerce of that nation. Every circumstance indicates active exertions of a hostile nature. The expedition to Louisiana is no longer mentioned, and the current conversation of the day, is on the subject of war. There can be little doubt that Bonaparte would, for the present, wish for peace in order to entrench himself more securely in the government, and to carry into effect his extensive plans of policy, which must be disconcerted in case of a war.
A letter from London of the 22d April, received at Boston, advises—that "in consequence of present appearances, and the general belief that hostilities will immediately take place with France, the rates of
insurance have risen to the war premium."

PHILADELPHIA, June 2. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Ireland, to his brother in Chamberburg, (Penn.) dated "DUNCAN, Antrim county, March 20, 1803.
Dear Brother, I am sorry to inform you, that the West is in a state of open rebellion, and at this moment actually in arms against the government. A new militia have been raised by government, which act with great authority over the people:—A great impress has taken place in all the ports of England: and this week the press gangs arrived in our ports.—They press, without respect to persons, all they find out of active employ. Married men are seized, no matter in what situation their families are, and hauled on board of the vessels.
"I believe a new revolt is the whisper here, as far as I am able to judge; and from every information the subjects of G. Britain, in England, are in the same spirit. I hope I may never experience another revolution, for we are loaded with more taxes on account of the last, than nine tenths of the people are able to bear. But we must submit to the burthen—how long, God only knows. There are recruiting parties in all our inland towns, that of Belfast in particular, has suffered much by the press gangs."
"As soon as possible I shall embark for your country, for real safety is not to be found here. If anything takes place, I will inform you as soon as possible."
"I conclude with just observing that the crown of England dreads an invasion" and is making every preparation to prevent the same."

THE MAID WITH BOSOM COLD BY WILLIAM SMITH.
Of me they cry, I'm often told, See there the Maid with bosom cold! "Indifference o'er her heart presides, And love and lovers she despises; "Their idle darts, unmeaning chains, Fantastic whims and silly pains "In pride secure, in reason bold; See there the Maid with bosom cold."
Ah! ever be they thus deceived! Still be my bosom cold believed, And never may enquiring eyes Pierce thro' unhappy love's disguise: Yet could they all my bosom share, And see each painful tumult there, Ah! never should I then be told That I'm the Maid with bosom cold.
A fate severe my suffering mind To endless struggles has consigned. I feel a flame I must not own, I love, yet every hope is flown; Too strong to let my passion sway, Too weak to teach it to obey, I agonize, and then am told That I'm the Maid with bosom cold.
The joy o'er all my looks express Conceals a bosom ill at rest; To balls and routs I haste away, But only imitate the gay; I jest at Love and mock his power, Yet feel his triumph every hour; And lost to ev'ry bliss—I'm told That I'm the Maid with bosom cold.
Unable from myself to fly, I catch each word, I read each eye; Antonio comes—I die with fear Lest others mark my faltering air; My eyes perhaps too fondly gazed, My tongue too much—too little prai- sed;
Suspicion's trembling slave I'm told That I'm the Maid with bosom cold.
With anxious toil, with ceaseless care, Content and careless I appear, And mirth beneath another's eye, Alone I heave the helpless sigh, Hung musing o'er its image dear, Feel on my cheek the unbidden tear, And think, ah! why should I be told That I'm the Maid with bosom cold.
The flower may wave its foliage gay, And flaunt it to the garrison day, Unseen awhile a canker's power May blast its honors to devour; And weak, while vainly round me play Youth's zephyr breath and pleasure's ray,
My fate unknown, my tale untold, Thus links the Maid with bosom cold.
