FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 6, 1805.
We are indebted to Captain M'Kenzie of the ship Leonidas, for London papers from the 30th Sept. to October, and Liverpool papers of the 9th of October. A very large proportion of the contents of those papers have been anticipated by papers by the Eliza from Bordeaux.
It will not escape the attention of the readers of this day's paper, that while Buonaparte was persuading his Tribune and Conservative Senate that he was marching to succour his ally, the Elector of Bavaria; the Elector it appears had joined the confederacy.
The report of the seizure of Hanover by the Prussians, although it is not official, appears to be credited in England.
We have selected all that we deem worthy of notice for our paper of this day.
The General Assembly of this Commonwealth met on Monday last. HUGH HOLMES, Esquire, was chosen Speaker, and JAMES PLEASANTS Jun. Clerk of the House of Delegates.
In a late number of the Ledger, we stated that the Directors of the Insurance Company of Charleston, had called a meeting of the Stockholders, to consider the propriety of discontinuing to make further insurances. Not knowing that there was an Insurance Company against Fire, in that place, we concluded it was the Marine Insurance Company, in which we were mistaken, and acknowledge our error.
Married, at Hampton, on Wednesday evening last, Mr. GEORGE CHAMBERLAIN of this Borough, to Miss FANNY LOWRY NEEDHAM of Hampton.
LEGISLATURE OF NORTH-CAROLINA.
TUESDAY, November 26.
Mr. John Moore, from the committee to whom was referred the Governor's message accompanied by the petition of Duncan M'Farland, reported as follows:—
Your committee reported that the petitioner states in his petition two bills of indictment were found against him by the grand jury of Fayetteville superior court, for high crimes and misdemeanors, and from the peculiar circumstances of his case, prays a special court of Oyer and Terminer and general Goal delivery may be called, whereby he may have a speedy trial. Your committee are of opinion the prayer of the memorialist is reasonable and ought to be granted, and therefore recommend the following resolution:
Resolved, That his excellency the governor for the time being, is hereby advised to issue a commission to the justices of the supreme courts of this state empowering them or any of them to hold a court of sessions of the peace, Oyer and Terminer and general Goal delivery at the town of Fayetteville, in the district of Fayetteville, on the — day of — for the trial of Duncan M'Farland, and to hear, try and determine all crimes & misdemeanors of what nature or kind soever wherewith he stands charged, and award execution thereon.
On the question to agree to this resolution, it was resolved that it be decided by Yeas and Nays—which are as follows:—Yeas, 40—Nays, 77.
NEW-YORK, November 26.
The anniversary of the evacuation of the city of New-York by the British troops, was celebrated yesterday with more than the accustomed demonstrations of joy. General Morton's brigade of artillery, consisting of the first and second regiments commanded by lieut. colonels Curtenius and Swartwout; colonel Van Zandt's legion of infantry, and the several troops of horse, the whole under the command of brigadier-general Morton, assembled on the battery, where they went through the usual military evolutions with much precision, and made a most brilliant appearance. They were reviewed by Major General Stevens, and by the French general Moreau, whose reception was such as must be grateful to the feelings of the illustrious exile, and was highly honourable to the humanity and publick spirit of our citizens. A grand dinner was given in the afternoon at Lovett's Hotel by the officers of the several regiments, and the hero of Hohenlinden was amongst the guests.
A stage had been erected on the battery for the accommodation of the officers of the corporation &c. which broke down with the great pressure; and we are sorry to state that a son of Mr. James Walker, in Maiden-lane, had the back part of his skull broken by a beam falling on him, and we understand is since dead; a journeyman of Mr. Rockle, baker, had his leg broken in two places, his ribs broken, and was sent to the hospital with little hopes of his recovery; Mr. Bingham, was badly hurt in the breast, and several others much injured. These were all under the platform when it fell. Alderman Montague, who stood on that part of the stage which fell, received considerable injury.
Extract of a letter from Honduras, dated September 10th 1805.
“About three months ago, severe gales of wind, materially injured most of the provision grounds, and induced the magistrates and people at a publick meeting to address H. M. superintendant for the opening of the port, to the American vessels. They were answered that their application should be directly forwarded (by the man of war then sailing) to the governor of Jamaica, with Colonel Gordon's concurring in the opinion of the propriety of the measure; but as the ship was to cruise some time, no answer has arrived. On the 28th of last month, a hurricane effectually completed an almost total loss of all and every species of bread kind; the magistrates in a warm and spirited address again solicited an immediate intercourse with America; pointed out the real distress of the settlement and such an exhausted state of the stores, that not one barrel of flour was to be purchased at Belize. The colonel in return acknowledged and lamented the state of the settlement, promised every alleviation in his power, and assured the magistrates of his not entertaining the least doubt of a full and speedy compliance with their requisitions, not only from the urgency of the case, but also from his representations and zealous recommendations; but though a refusal is not in the least apprehended, yet the delay may most seriously affect the settlement: at any rate we look for speculators, as the neutral vessels may now take off what quantity of logwood they please, and there is every reason to believe that the restrictions hitherto prevailing with respect to the size of mahogany, will be removed.”
NOVEMBER 29.
From the Boston Centinel of Saturday. By the ship Charles, capt. Lewis, from Liverpool, arrived last evening, we received our London files to the 5th October, inclusive. [No details are given from these papers.]
Mr. Thomas Parry, master of the schooner Fanny, from St. John's Newfoundland, which he left the 6th inst. informs, that on the 4th, two London ships arrived there, in 26 days, bringing London papers, which announced that Admiral Cornwallis had had an engagement with the Brest fleet, and captured eight sail of the line, which had arrived in England before the vessels sailed; and also, that war had commenced in Italy, and a victory been gained by the Austrians.
If the above dates, &c. are correct, the London vessels must have sailed the 9th October. We have nothing so late.—Our last London date is the 5th—and the Charles from Liverpool, sailed the 9th. Roundabout news is always to be received with caution.
A letter from London mentions, that Salt Petre had considerably risen in consequence of the war on the Continent.
Our last English papers report, that the French Rochefort squadron of five sail of the line, in lat. 49, long. 9, fell in with an English East India fleet from St. Helena, of four extra ships and three whalers, convoyed by the Calcutta of 50 guns; which, including the Calcutta, were all captured, excepting the African, a whaler. The Haddock sloop of war fell in with the fleet during the action; and immediately proceeded off Ushant to inform Lord Cornwallis of the news, that squadrons might be sent to intercept them. There are also fears that a part of the English West India fleet, of 300 sail, from Tortola, had also been fallen in with by this squadron; but captain Lewis, from Liverpool, informs us, that Oct. 11, off Cape Clear, he fell in with about 19 sail of English ships of war, and on the same evening with about three hundred sail of English merchantmen, supposed to be the homeward bound East India fleet.—Mercantile Adv.
CHARLESTON, November 26.
A letter from Paris of September 25, says, “Not to alarm his subjects and allies by the reports of frequent conspiracies, Buonaparte has ordered the trials and executions of all implicated persons to be secret. Hence we hear no more of the late plot than we heard of the conspiracy at Milan last May. One thing is however certain, that the pretended conspirators were not connected with any foreign power, but domestick rivals or disaffected subjects. Several Generals are still mentioned as individuals suspected or accused. You have undoubtedly read that Jourdan has been deprived of his command in Italy, and succeeded by Massena. Macdonald sent for his health to Barege, and Lecourbe exiled to his estate near Lons Sannier, in France Comte.”—London Paper.
Late Foreign Intelligence,
Received at the Ledger office, by the fast sailing ship Leonidas, Captain M'Kenzie, from Liverpool.
LONDON, September 30.
A letter from Sicily, received this morning states, that a Swedish brig had passed up channel, which a few days since cut her cables and run to sea, to avoid being stopped by an order of the French government.
French papers have been received of two or three days later dates than those which arrived in the course of last week, but they furnish no political information which has not been anticipated in the Dutch and German Journals; and what is yet more remarkable, all the editors appear to have received instructions to suspend their comments on the passing events of the day, except it is by here and there letting fall an insinuation, that notwithstanding the present hostile appearance of affairs on the continent, they may yet be adjusted to the satisfaction of all but the immediate emissaries of England.
The new league against France has already obtained an accession of strength beyond our most sanguine hopes. Government has received official information of the elector of Bavaria, the ally, of which Buonaparte made such a boast, having actually joined the emperor of Austria with his whole military force, of not less than 30,000 men. The united armies have already advanced to the Lech, to make head against the French in Suabia. A treaty has been signed between his imperial majesty and the elector, in which the former pledges himself not to consent to any peace in which the interests of the latter are not secured, and the integrity of his dominions maintained.
A Russian fleet is very soon expected. Orders relative to its reception have been sent to the admirals at Leith and Yarmouth, and to lord Keith at Ramage.
OCTOBER 1—5.
On Friday night Count Corpelan, the Swedish Envoy, charged with a special mission to our Court, left town on his return, having accomplished, as we hear, the object of his journey. A treaty has been concluded between the two Courts of a provisional nature, by which, in a certain stipulated event, Sweden undertakes to furnish a certain number of ships and men towards the common cause.
On Friday night, Mr. Hargrave, Messenger, left town for Yarmouth, on his way to St. Petersburg, with dispatches from the Secretary of State's Office, for Lord Grenville, Lord Gower, our Ambassador at that Court. The dispatches are of so urgent a nature, that in the event of no packet being ready at Yarmouth to convey Mr. Hargrave to Gottenburgh, one of his Majesty's cutters or gun brigs is to proceed with him immediately.
It is reported that Government has received a declaration from the King of Prussia, in answer to the Note presented to him by the two Imperial Courts, that it was his determination to maintain a strict neutrality in the Circle of Lower Saxony, and that for the purpose of securing that part of Germany against the encroachment by the armies of either of the belligerent powers, he had put his own army, to the amount of 300,000, on a footing of complete preparation.
It gives us great satisfaction to be able to announce that the Orpheus frigate, with the fleet under her convoy from the coast of Portugal, are arrived at Mount's Bay.
Forty gun-boats are fitting out for Sir Sidney Smith, at Woolwich. They carry two guns, one in the bow, and the other in the stern. They are very light, and consequently draw very little water.
It is rather singular that as late as the 24th of September the determination of the Elector of Bavaria to join the allies was not publicly known at Paris. That Buonaparte was apprised of that determination before that time there can be no doubt, but it was not to be supposed that he would be very anxious to communicate such a piece of intelligence.
It appears from an address of the city of Paris to Buonaparte, that some plot has been formed against him; the particulars, however, are not suffered to transpire.
The alarm of the French Government is manifest from their calling out the National Guards.
Much uncertainty prevails respecting the part which will be taken by Switzerland in the present state of affairs on the Continent.
Private advices from the Continent state, that the son of the Elector of Bavaria is detained as a hostage in France, in consequence of the treaty lately signed between his Electoral Highness and the Emperor of Germany—a circumstance which sufficiently accounts for the apparent indecision of the former, with respect to his military conduct at the present important juncture. The first division of the French army passed the Rhine on the 24th ult. at Mentz, and were expected at Offenbach on the following day. Austrians were rapidly advancing to meet them: we are in daily expectation of receiving advice of an important action having taken place.
Accounts from the Tyrol, of the 14th of September, state, that the Imperial troops from Venice are advancing in great force to the Adige, with a great train of battering artillery. The French were also advancing to the other side of the Adige. The bridges Della Pietra and Ponto Nuovo, at Verona, have been broken down by the French; and the third bridge strongly guarded. Marshal Massena had arrived at French Verona, previous to the 13th of September, and his army had been reinforced by 4000 cavalry.
A letter received from Vienna of the date of the 19th ult. states, that on the 20th of August, a force of 15,000 Russians landed at Naples which were immediately marched to assist in the defence of the North western frontier, threatened by the French, while Gen. Craig was expected hourly with 5000 men from Malta, to garrison the capital, by invitation from his Sicilian Majesty.
Accounts from Vienna of Sept. 19, state, that the Emperor of Germany would go to the Tyrol in the ensuing week, whence he would speedily return, and proceed to Hungary to open the Diet. The Hungarians would, it was thought, raise another army of reserve. The Archduke Ferdinand is gone to the army in Bavaria.
The first division of the Russian troops was expected at Brun by the 2d of the month, where they will form a temporary encampment; but a corps of Russians will be on the frontiers of Bavaria by the 10th.
The Austrians had advanced into Suabia.
Many alarming rumours have been in circulation for some days, relative to the Calcutta and her convoy of East Indianmen being captured by the Rochefort squadron. The following Bulletin, we believe, contains the only authentic intelligence, which has yet been received:—
“ADMIRALTY OFFICE, October 4. Extract from the Log Book of his Majesty's Schooner Haddock, Lieut. Foley, lat. 49. 8. long. 9. wind variable, E. N. E.—Friday 27th September, at half past two, heard several guns fired in the N. W.—at three, observed his Majesty's ship Calcutta haul out of the convoy. At half past three, a heavy cannonading between the Calcutta and a very large ship; observed another ship coming up firing her bow chasers, and two more ships following her. At half past four observed the large ship to haul from the Calcutta, and heave to.—At dark, spoke the Indus East Indianman, who informed us, that the ship which engaged the Calcutta was a large French frigate, and the ships in chase of her then were line of battle ships. At half past nine, heard a very heavy cannonading in the S. W. supposed to be between the Calcutta and the enemy. At half past ten, the firing ceased. At day-light, four in sight. The Commander of the Haddock states, that it is his opinion that the Indus, and the greater part of the Calcutta's convoy may have escaped by steering towards Ushant. He does not know the names of the ships which composed the convoy, excepting the Indus, which was the most valuable.”
A Gentleman (Mr. Harvey, late master of the Leinster Packet), who came passenger in one of the Leeward Island Fleet, (viz. the William of Newcastle) which parted from the fleet about a month since, states, that on the 23d ult. they fell in with the Haddock schooner, Lieut. Foley, with a mail from Jamaica; she was dispatched from thence in consequence of the capture of a Packet, (supposed to be the Chesterfield), in sight of Jamaica, by a French schooner privateer, which she some time engaged, Mr. Harvey went on board the Haddock, which was then with the Calcutta man of war, which had seven sail of East India ships under her convoy from the East Indies. On the 25th ult. in lat. 49. 40. long. 11. 4. a French frigate came up, being part of a squadron of five sail of the line, and two frigates, then in sight. She engaged the Calcutta for one hour and ten minutes, and was silenced soon after; one of the line of battle ships came up, and engaged the Calcutta, but it soon ended, and he supposed the Calcutta struck. The French squadron also took the William, and another vessel of the Leeward Island Fleet. What became of them, or the Calcutta's convoy, is not known, as it was nine o'clock at night when she left them. On the arrival of the Haddock at Scilly, his Majesty's ship Plover sailed to give the intelligence to Admiral Cornwallis.
The Jamaica Mail alluded to in the above letters has brought intelligence that the Vanguard man of war, and the Papillon brig of war, sailed from Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 28th July, with a fleet under convoy for Great Britain, and that the fleet from England had arrived at Jamaica.
Some apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the Leeward Island Fleet, which, it is conceived, must have been nearly in the same latitude in which the enemy's fleet are described to have been seen engaging the Calcutta; and it is certainly possible that some of them may have fallen into the hands of the enemy. It is hardly possible, however, that they can carry them into a French port.

October 7.
One Hamburg and two Gottenburgh mails have arrived. Nothing has yet publicly transpired calculated to remove the ambiguity which hangs over the politics of Prussia.
French and Dutch Journals have also arrived, the former to the 30th ult. the latter to the 4th instant. The arrival of the French emperor at Strasbourg was announced to the senate by a telegraphic dispatch on the 27th ult. If we may credit an article in these papers, hostilities have actually commenced: the Austrians are stated to have made themselves masters of Scaffhausen after a smart skirmish.
Dispatches from Mr. Jackson, the British Minister at Berlin, were received by a courier extraordinary, at Lord Mulgrave's office, late on Saturday evening, which were yesterday forwarded to his majesty, at Kew. In the course of the day a report was very current, in the first political circles, that Prussia had declared in favour of the Confederates.
By the mails arrived from Gottenburgh, dispatches from Petersburg and Stockholm have also been received by Government. The subsidiary treaty between this country and Sweden is, we understand, finally arranged.
An embargo have been certainly laid upon all Danish vessels in the French ports.
It is reported, on good authority, that the French have withdrawn their troops from the banks of the Elbe and the Weser.
Captain Clark of the Leipsig, who arrived at Hull on Thursday from Tomingen, says, that just before he left the river, on the 27th ult. a person informed him that an express had arrived at Tomingen the day before, with an account of the Prussian soldiers having marched into Hanover, and that the Elbe was expected to be freed from blockade, and the intercourse between this country and Hamburg resumed. We hope the next mail will bring a corroboration of this desirable event in a few days. The French, on quitting Cuxhaven, destroyed the batteries they had erected there; part of the cannon they took with them, the remainder, with the ball, they threw into the river, not having carriages to convey the whole away.
By a vessel arrived at Hull from Embden, we learn that the king of Prussia had sent some troops to occupy the extensive barracks at that place, which have lately been let to the merchants as warehouses for the goods received from this country. The exportation of grain from his dominions is also prohibited.
Maria Paulowna, grand duchess of Russia, has undertaken the care of two sons left by the celebrated poet Schiller.
LIGHT ARTICLES.
Fashions for October.—Fashion never had a more limited sphere to move in, than at present. Those elegantes who give the ton have not yet returned to town, and a sort of interregnum prevails in the fashionable world. The Court Mourning has also contributed not a little to damp the fancy, and restrain the wanderings of the fickle goddess. The following appear to be only changes of the moment. For full dress, white crape, with bugle or jet ornaments, and black or white bugle tiara, for young ladies, will prevail. Grey sarsnets with set ornaments will be worn by matrons. Morning dresses of cambric-muslin, with black spencers, and black chip hats, of the Grecian shape, will be the most prevailing dress; sleeves long, and of thin muslin; the sleeve of the gown looped upon the shoulder.
USEFUL.
Cure for the Dropsy.—Eating the leaves of Bohea tea is stated to have effected several cures in the cases of Dropsy in the course of a few days. About two large tea-cups full of the tea is infused in a quart of water, and during the day the decoction to be drank, and the leaves eaten at short intervals:—The Governor of the House of Industry at Farrington, Berks, lately administered it to a pauper under his care, who had been given over to the visiting surgeon, when, to his great astonishment, the woman found almost instant relief. He repeated the dose but once, and in the course of a week his patient, although 62 years of age, was able to go out to hay-making.—A woman in Anderson, in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, who has been afflicted with a dropsical complaint since the 4th of June has received great relief, and there is a fair prospect of a cure, from eating the leaves of bohea tea.
LIVERPOOL, October 9.
POLITICAL RETROSPECT.
The probabilities of a continental war have for some time past been considered as more or less strong, according as the interests of political speculators have led them to regard it as an event advantageous or prejudicial to their views. In this country people seized with avidity on every act of military preparation, and represented it as the signal of a confederacy by which we were to be relieved from a part of the burthen of a contest, which almost every person has considered as extremely onerous, for Great Britain, whatever may have been the difference of opinion respecting the importance of its object, the mode of carrying it on, and the nature of its results in France, on the contrary, the government, justly alarmed even at the most distant prospect of an accession of force on the side of their adversaries, have industriously attempted, by means of their agents, to explain every mysterious proceeding on the part of the continental powers—favourably to intercept every sinister omen, and even in the midst of aggressions to represent the patience of the injured as more than paramount to the extent of its provocations. The Germans also, well aware that their territory would, in case of an extension of the war, become the theatre of action, and would of course be exposed to all the immediate calamities which ever mark the progress of hostile banners, without perhaps calculating the effects of a crafty, undermining ambition, and a slow creeping usurpation yielded to their natural though impolitic wishes, and flattered themselves with the hopes of peace and tranquillity after their independence had been attacked, their very existence menaced, nay, even after the Supreme Head of the Empire, feeling for his injured honour, and alarmed for his political security, was preparing to punish insult and prevent a further accumulation of wrong. The declaration of the court of Vienna of the 3d of last month still left some grounds for the hopes of those who are disposed to make a small account of future dangers, and to submit to every contingent evil rather than encounter a present inconvenience. The counter-declaration of France, (see the Ledger of Nov. 20) however, which our readers will find given at length in this paper, must utterly extinguish these sickly and unmanly hopes, the offspring of blind improvidence or nervous imbecility.
We know not what influence the official paper, which was pompously read by the minister of the interior in the Conservative Senate, may have had upon the minds of that body, nor what effects it may have upon the publick opinion of France, (though we venture to predict that in raising the 80,000 conscripts voted by the Senate, the arguments of the gens-d'armerie will be found much more cogent than the eloquence of M. Talleyrand) but after the most careful perusal of its contents, we do not find one point that is calculated to make impression on any impartial, reflecting, and considerate man. It commences with an appeal to Europe, ridiculous from its solemnity, and contemptible from its falsity, upon the moderation of Buonaparte in the midst of victo-

ries; vaunting of no less than his charity in granting peace as a benefaction to his vanquished foes. The beneficence displayed in according the peace, we are told, was even exceeded by the religious scrupulousness with which its stipulations were fulfilled and observed on the part of France! But was it not stipulated, we would ask, in the treaty of Luneville, that the Italian republic should be free and independent? Was not the same stipulation made for the Swiss cantons? and how were these articles observed? Buonaparte first declares himself president of the republic, and afterwards king of Italy. Piedmont which he was under engagements to restore to the king of Sardinia, he annexes to France. Parma and Piacenza share the same fate, and Genoa at last he adds to his annexation by way of rounding his frontier. He marches an army into Switzerland on the first movement of that brave and generous people to shake off his fetters, and to avail themselves of the provisions of his own benefaction, orders them, under pain of having their country plundered and laid waste with fire and sword, to send deputies to Paris to receive at the foot of his high tribunal a constitution, laws, legislators and magistrates.
The indemnities granted to the Grand Duke of Tuscany are even brought forward as a proof of the vast generosity of Buonaparte, when every one knows that the bishoprick of Salzburg was not half a compensation to this much injured prince for the loss of his Italian dominions. But the ground of deepest accusation against Austria (for the acquisition of a village and a small island in the lake of Constance are matters of serious complaint) is a partiality which she has shown on different occasions to England in the course of the contest with France. For example, she did not declare at the outset, to Europe and to the world that the government of France had espoused the cause of every power, excepting one whose outrageous tyranny and insatiable ambition ought to place her without the pale of nations. She did not come forward to countenance and encourage the projected descent upon this country. She did not, with a becoming complaisance to the interests of France, raise an outcry against the established law of nations recognizing the right of blockade in belligerent powers, because it happened to fetter the commerce of France for the time. In short, just at the moment (and let it be remembered that this moment arrives after two years have elapsed in empty menaces) when Buonaparte was about to send his eagles across the sea to punish the violators of the peace of Amiens, the Austrian armies advance into the Tyrol and to the banks of the Adige, thereby forcing him to withdraw his troops from the coasts of the ocean, and to desert his darling project, in order to provide for his own defence. Harmless, unprotected man! Were 70,000 men inadequate to the defence of his Italian frontier? or was one battalion withdrawn, when on the remonstrance of Austria he thought fit to break up the camp? and was not the march of the Austrian army to the confines of the Hereditary States imperiously called for by the imposing force which France had assembled on her frontiers?
The invasion of Bavaria is brought forward in the conclusion of the declaration as precluding the possibility of farther negotiation, and Buonaparte is announced as having taken the command of the army in person, with a firm determination not to lay down his arms till he has obtained complete security for his own dominions and those of his allies, among whom we suppose the elector of Bavaria is meant to be included. The fortune of war is so various and uncertain, that it is in vain to attempt calculating its result; but we have no hesitation in saying that the security and independence of Europe are staked upon the present contest.
The armaments of Prussia seem particularly to excite the uneasiness of the courts of Russia and Austria—and with very great justice. For the Prussian cabinet has for some time back manifested such a decided partiality to the French government, that a body of 300,000 men under the direction of the former, cannot be viewed without apprehension by the confederacy about to wage war against the latter. The partiality of Prussia to France is glaring, from this circumstance in particular, that although she declined to resist or rather apparently approved the French invasion of Hanover, she now stands forward and assumes an attitude that menaces any Power that attempts to recover that territory, even after it shall have been evacuated by the French troops. Thus Prussia becomes a centinel for the French government over the electorate of Hanover. Nay, more if the wish of neutrality, which has been traced by rumour, be really that which Prussia has armed to protect, she actually guards a considerable extent of the French frontiers, and of course creates a diversion in favour of Buonaparte. This the confederated powers seem very sensibly to feel, and they are said to have acted upon this feeling. The last accounts state that the Monarch of that country has announced to the ministers of the coalition his fixed resolve to maintain the neutrality of the circle of lower Saxony with the utmost strictness, and to resist the slightest encroachment upon that territory by any of the belligerent powers. It is not indeed improbable, that the Prussian monarch when he has got his army in complete preparation, may offer his mediation in a tone that cannot be refused but at the risk of his displeasure, which would be certainly, in the present state of Europe, a most alarming circumstance to any European state. Prussia may offer her mediation before hostilities have far advanced, or she may wait until the belligerent powers are in such a state that she may be enabled to command a peace. We shall not indeed be surprised to find Prussia become in consequence of the present contest, a dictator to all the powers of Europe, and by the result of that contest more materially benefitted than any or all the belligerent powers. The king of Prussia at all events seems, to use a gamester's phrase, determined to "play a safe game."

IMPORTANT STATE PAPERS.
AUSTRIAN ANSWER TO THE FRENCH NOTE.
Ratisbon, Sept. 13.—The Austrian Imperial minister here, has delivered to the Diet the following Rescript, which has been printed and circulated:
Rescript to the Imperial and Royal Legations at Ratisbon.
The declaration which the French Charge d'Affaires was ordered to communicate to the Diet at Ratisbon, has been laid before his Roman and Austrian Imperial Majesty.
According to this declaration, the states of the German empire might be induced to imagine that the armaments and acts of violence of the French emperor in Italy, have given Austria no cause for a counter-arming; that France, not Austria wishes the restoration of a general peace, to attain which restoration, was the object of the intended invasion of England, which Austria now endeavours to interrupt, to prevent the attainment of this object.
With this declaration is connected the threat of an attack on the German empire, if Austria does not immediately disarm at the order of the French Emperor.
Called upon by such a declaration made to the German diet, his majesty finds it incumbent upon him to lay before his co-estates of the empire such documents as may shew the true causes and views which have compelled him to arm. They will thence perceive that Austria offered its mediation for the restoration of peace and tranquility, which France refused; that France wishes not peace; for that situation is not peace, but more destructive than war, in which a single power, formidable by its greatness, alone remains armed, and is prevented by no opposition from occupying with its troops, oppressing, and subjecting one independent peaceable state after another.
To put an end to this state of things is the object of the arming of the Austrian and Russian imperial courts? and that the former, from the menacing armaments of the French in Italy, has the most pressing motives to be careful, for its own safety, must be evident to all who have had experience in the affairs of the world; and for further proof it is only necessary to refer to the extracts of the Moniteurs of the 12th of May, and 18th of June of the present year.
That only this object, and not any self-interested views, have produced the determination of Austria and Russia, appears from their readiness to enter into any negotiation on principles of justice and moderation—from their assurances to the states of the empire, that, in case war should prove unavoidable they will maintain the legal state of the German constitution and possessions inviolate; which assurances the Austrian envoys have orders to repeat and confirm in the most solemn manner.
The threats of the French emperor to attack the German empire, shows how necessary it is to be guarded against such an attack by adequate preparations; experience never to be forgotten has taught with what consequences the fulfilment of such threats on the part of France is connected; and it is the more necessary to be active in preventing them, as already the most certain indications are apparent, that several of the princes of the frontier circles of the empire have been encouraged on the part of the French to take up arms against their emperor and his co-estate, and to this end new secret connections have been entered into, and those existing abused.
His majesty trusts with confidence, that if not all, at least the greater part of the states of the empire will see the dangerous tendency of such proceedings and the necessity of warding off from Germany, by unanimity, fidelity and courage, the fate of Italy and other neighbouring countries of France, which have been rendered either half, or entirely dependent upon her; and that they will consequently approve and promote those measures, without which the salutary views of Austria and Russia, cannot be carried into effect; for it is most evident that the possibility of maintaining a real peace, depends on being prepared with those effectual means, which in case it should be impossible to attain the object wished, can alone furnish the last hope of deliverance and succour.

VIA SAVANNAH.
LONDON, October 7.
Intelligence has been received at the East India House this morning, by an overland dispatch, that peace has been concluded in India, between general Lake and the Rajah of Bhurtpore.
We are most happy to announce the safe arrival of two more of the Calcutta's convoy. The Fox and the Schaw, from the southern fishery, arrived at Kinsale on the 1st. inst. The following letter from the collector at Kinsale to the commissioners of revenue at Dublin, was received by government this morning. Our readers will see by it that the convoy was not so valuable as was at first reported and that there is great reason to believe they have all escaped.
Custom-House, Kinsale, October 1.
My Lords and Gentlemen
I think it my duty to inform you that the Fox of London, from the South Seas, has just arrived in this harbour, the captain of which, James Gernord, has informed me as follows:
That he sailed from St. Helena homeward bound from the South Seas, the 3d of August last, in company with the Calcutta, of 50 guns, captain Woodriff, convoy; the Indus, East Indian, the Maria Carolina, a Swedish China ship, the African, South Seaman, of London, the Schaw of Milford, and a Prussian, prize to the Calcutta: that on Thursday the 26th of September, saw a fleet, supposed to be an English fleet of men of war, 100 miles, w. by s. off Scilly; on Friday the 27th, at half past 12, the Calcutta made a signal the fleet in sight was an enemy, consisting of three sail of the line, three frigates and a corvette; at half past three, the Calcutta brought the headmost of the frigates to action; from that time till nine at night, a running fight continued between the Calcutta and the frigate, assisted by one of the line of battle ships; at nine the Calcutta was brought to close action by them both, which lasted 20 minutes, and then the firing ceased, and capt. Gernord supposes the Calcutta was either taken or sunk; the convoy dispersed towards night, and capt. Gernord supposes they are all safe, as he has seen them at different times since at a distance. On Saturday evening, the 28th, he saw a Swede (one of the convoy) spake an English frigate to the west of Ushant; the frigate after speaking her, stood to the s. e. with the wind e. by n. capt. Gernord supposes to inform Admiral Cornwallis of the action.
The French fleet had upwards of ten sail of merchantmen prizes to them.

There are on the premises, which contain about eight acres of Land, a handsome two story Dwelling-House, just finished, having two rooms and an entry below, a Dairy, Smoke-House, Kitchen, convenient Store-House, and other necessary buildings.—The payments by direction of the Will of the deceased, will be by three annual instalments, carrying interest from the day of sale, secured by bonds with approved security, and a mortgage on the premises; possession given on the day of sale.—Few situations on the Eastern Shore are esteemed more desirable than this now offered for sale: lying on the head of the most navigable creek on the Eastern Shore, in a very productive part of the County of Accomack, where living is cheap, and having proved from experience an excellent stand for a store, it is certainly a property that must be very desirable to any person wishing to fix themselves, and such an one as is but seldom for sale.

For SALE or RENT,
For One or more Years, that VALUABLE
LITTLE FARM WETWOOD,
About one Mile from the Borough,
Containing about 97 acres of choice Land, the soil produces Clover, &c. of superior quality to any in this part of the country. There are two good Dwelling Houses, Kitchen, a large Barn, and sundry other Houses; a large Apple Orchard, with a number of excellent Cherry and other Fruit Trees. The Garden, with a little attention, would be very profitable. This Farm is well worth the attention of many, as a pleasant retreat in the summer, and the great advantages arising from the ready sale of the productions of an industrious farmer, from such a promising soil.
ALSO,
Will be Rented, for One or more Years,
That large and commodious Wharf, belonging to the estate of John Hutchings, deceased, with a commodious Ware-House. The situation of this Wharf is well worth the attention of any Gentleman concerned in navigation, particularly in the West-India trade, as there are considerable vacant lands very suitable for Lumber Yards, &c. The great convenience of this Wharf is, that three ships may lie and load at the front, one at the end, and a small vessel within the wharf. It is also a commodious place for any Gentleman in the line of repairing vessels. There is also a small Wharf, about 60 feet to the westward of this, adjoining two hulks, which might be profitable to any Gentleman in the Lumber Line. If this property is not sold or rented by the 1st of January, it will then be rented on the premises, at 11 o'clock. For terms apply to
Capt. WM. CAMMACK, or
JOHN BROWN,
Administrator of the Estate of John Hutchings, dec'd.

LEO THE TENTH. E. BRONSON, IS PREPARING TO PUBLISH, FROM THE LORENZO PRESS, "The Life and Pontificate of Leo the Tenth," BY WILLIAM ROSCOE.  CONDITIONS.   This work will be elegantly printed in octavo, upon a new type and superfine woven paper.  It will be comprised in four volumes of about 480 pages each.  Each volume will be ornamented with an elegant copperplate engraving by Mr. Edwin. The engravings are portraits of LEO X. ALBUS, one of the first printers, LUTHER, and RAPHAEL, taken from original paintings.  The price will be two dollars and fifty cents a volume in boards. To such, however, as may choose to become subscribers before the publication of the second volume, the work will be delivered at two dollars a volume.  The work will be put to press immediately, and the first volume will be ready for subscribers in a few weeks.   The Editor is the only person, as he believes, in the United States who possesses a copy of this original, elegant and interesting work. This copy, which is in quarto, was sent out from England before the publication of the work there, and could not be sold in this country at less than from forty to fifty dollars. Considering the time which must elapse before the English copy can be imported for sale, and the immense difference in price between that and the proposed edition, the editor flatters himself with a belief that his will meet with liberal encouragement and a rapid sale.  * Subscriptions received at the Office of the Publick Ledger Philadelphia, August 21. 171

THE liberality of a number of friends of the Arts and Sciences, in Norfolk, having enabled the undersigned to make a beginning with this Institution, he has taken the house and lot, formerly occupied by Mr. Riffaud as a publick garden, on the south side of the New Bridge, and feels confident that his labours and exertions will meet with ample encouragement from the liberal and enlightened communities of this, and of the neighbouring towns and counties.
