LONDON, March 15.
American affairs. —Last night Mr. Princep brought before the house of commons a most important fact, long overlooked, that while this country is at the expense of conquering and defending India—nay, while the national finances probably may be burthened by the company's debts, a part of the commerce of British India, exceeding that of the company, is carried on by neutrals, either by treaty or connivance, while British capital and British subjects are excluded from the advantages of the trade, which it is notorious the company cannot carry on. This question requires nothing more than attention on the part of the public, to make the proper impression.
Some interesting observations on the American commerce connected with this subject, occurred in the debate. It would be worth while to compare the value of what some would quarrel about in regard to the commerce of neutrals, and what our folly gives away gratis.
The motion of Mr. Princep, which was a call for certain documents, drew forth considerable conversation; in the course of which Mr. Fox argued forcibly against the production of any neutral document upon this important question, lest it should lead men to form premature, imperfect judgments. It would be improper to hold but an imperfect view of a question of this nature—such it appeared was the opinion of the directors of the East India company; and he could not help thinking, that the house, and the country at large, were fully willing to give to the judgment of that board, all the confidence to which it was entitled; but independent of their opinion, the hon. mover himself, had not stated any ground of necessity for the production of the document he called for; or that he meant to take any proceeding upon it. He had indeed stated the contrary. There was another point connected with this motion, which the hon. mover had perhaps in contemplation, when he brought it forward—"he meant the carrying trade of America." That this subject was now under consideration elsewhere, was tolerably notorious. It was not, he believed, unknown to any one, who heard him, that a representation respecting it had been made to his majesty's government, on the part of the United States—This representation was under discussion, and every necessary information would be sought for. But not, however, from any papers to be laid on the table of the house—not from any document of the nature of that moved for by the hon. gentleman; but by application to all those who were most intimately acquainted with the subject at issue. Ministers would look for knowledge to aid their judgment through the proper channels." Mr. Princep, after a few words of explanation, withdrew his motion.
The circumstance of two American vessels laden with colonial produce, which had been detained at Plymouth having been liberated during the last week, and allowed to sail for Bordeaux and Rochfort, has given rise to a report that all detained American vessels have been restored, and that the power asserted by America of conveying by her flag the commerce of the enemy, had been conceded by our government. We have the pleasure to contradict this rumour; and although we were uninformed of the determination of ministers on the subject, we must do them the justice to believe that they never will consent to a principle which in its operations, would deprive this country of every advantage which result to her from her naval superiority. All kinds of naval produce are now sold as cheap in France, as in a period of peace; may the Bordeaux market was a month since glutted with sugars and coffee poured in from Martinique, St. Domingo, &c. by American bottoms. It is in her commerce alone that France is vulnerable to us; if this is secured to her, she must despise our hostility, and will be naturally inclined to perpetuate a war in which she has much to gain without being obnoxious to loss; while we continue subject to great risk and immense expense, without any countervailing advantage.
There now appears reason to think that affairs have been amicably arranged between France and Prussia, and all apprehension of a rupture between those powers has subsided. A convention has been concluded, of which, it is thought, Lucchesini was the bearer, in which the difficult business of conciliating the interests of Prussia with the arrangements of
Bonaparte in Germany, has been effected. The convention concluded at Paris, is stated in letters from Berlin of the 1st, to have been ratified by the king of Prussia, and sent back to Paris—Letters from Leipzig of the 20th, speak still more positively. Prussia cedes Anspach, (some say also Bareuth) to the king of Bavaria; Neuschatel and Valengin, to France; in return she obtains Hanover as an indemnification. It is understood too that Prussia, in addition to her other cessions, gives up Cleves and Wessel to the archduke Ferdinand, as his indemnification for the Brisgau. But still if Prussia gets all Hanover, she is not a loser by the new arrangements. We have no doubt that these statements are in substance well founded.
Prussia, since the battle of Austerlitz, has had a very difficult part to play. She had given offence to Bonaparte—she was connected with Russia, and had not secured the confidence of Austria. Bonaparte's views in Germany, and the very conditions of the treaty of Presburg required the concurrence of Prussia, which at last seems to have been gained by a mixture of bribery and intimidation.—The hostile attitude of the French armies in Germany on the one hand, and the temptation of Hanover on the other, have succeeded.—But still Prussia, after the connexion with Russia, must be committed in some degree with the emperor Alexander, who must see the affairs of Germany and Europe thus delivered over to Bonaparte, in defiance of his opposition and of his menaces. Prussia is pledged not to co-operate with Russia, and the latter in vain can attempt alone to resist the arrangements, to which Bonaparte has obtained such concurrence, and which he is ready to defend with so mighty a force.
March 17.
The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday, arrived on Saturday night, with letters and papers to the 8th inst. The agitation and alarm continue to encrease upon the continent in consequence of the augmentation and activity of the French troops in Germany, which are now said to amount to 142,000 men.—They have broken up in Suabia, and the western parts of Germany; and marching for the interior, have re-occupied positions on the Inn and in Salzburg. The troops which were drawn down from Wurtzburg, Aichstadt, &c. have resumed their former quarters, and are followed by reinforcements from France. Others have taken possession of part of the Hessian territories; while a force of 30,000 men has occupied Anspach, and obliged the Prussian troops to retire to Bayreuth. It is said that the Prussian commander on the frontiers made dispositions to resist their entrance, until he was informed of the magnitude of the force opposed to him—and the civil as well as military authorities of the principality have protested against this violation of their neutrality. We cannot credit this latter account, as it is known that Prussia agreed to surrender Anspach in exchange for the electorate of Hanover. At Vienna, these proceedings appear to have excited some uneasiness. Baron Thugut has been recalled to office. Such men as the archduke Charles and baron Thugut, promise a vigorous government, and must infuse spirit and energy in the people. As a proof of it, we are told that the emperor has refused a demand for the passage of a French army through the Austrian territories against the Turks. Bonaparte it is said, meditates several new changes in Germany, among which are four new electorates.—The archduke Ferdinand is to be elector of Cleves, the duke of Brunswick, elector of Westphalia, and the landgrave of Hesse Darmstadt, elector of Paderborn.—There is to be an elector of Fulda. All these new electors will induce new territorial arrangements, the execution of which will require the presence and assistance of French troops.
The French troops that were in Suabia, and Bavaria, on their return home, had suddenly re-occupied the positions on the Inn, and Salzburg, and the Bavarian troops have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march. The bosom friend and confidant of Bonaparte, marshal Berthier, has suddenly made his appearance at Vienna, charged with a mission of great importance.
The French are now busily employed in transporting the spoils taken from the Austrians, through Suabia and Strasburg.
March 19.
Two Hamburg mails arrived this morning—those due on Saturday

last and this day. They have brought intelligence of very great importance. Yet the intelligence is contradictory; whilst some extracts from the German papers would persuade us that every thing is arranged between Prussia and France; other articles assert, that war between the two powers is inevitable.
The French have suddenly taken possession of Nuremberg.
The Austrian ambassador at Petersburg has been ordered to declare, that the treaty of Presbourg contains no secret articles.
The king of Sweden has been formally released by Great-Britain and Russia, from his engagements to occupy the country of Lauenberg.
An article from Wessel, March 8, states "according to a plan mentioned in a Prussian journal, printed in Franconia, Swedisch Pomerania, Brunswick of Luneburg, and Hanover, are to be ceded to Prussia. As an indemnification to the duke of Brunswick, he is to receive a considerable part of Westphalia; and the remainder is to go to Hesse Darmstadt, in exchange for his possessions on the Main. Two princes, it is added, and the prince of Orange Fulda, are to be made sovereign electors; and the elector of Hesse, in consideration for eight millions, is to receive a very considerable increase of territory, and the title of king, &c."
The Invasion. —We have lately had occasion to mention the renewed activity at Boulogne and its neighbourhood. By letters which reached us yesterday from our squadron off that coast, by the Diligence, arrived at Dover, we find that during the last week, several prams and luggers came out of the harbor, and formed a line, at their old anchorage, under their batteries. It is added, these vessels appear to have been newly rigged and generally repaired. Should such be the fact, it bespeaks a disposition on the part of Bonaparte to employ them on efficient service, because his rotten craft would answer equally well to keep up the threat of invasion, or make any demonstration necessary to excite alarm here, without incurring the vast expense of their repair, or withdrawing from his other naval equipments, stores of which he is in want.
The number of troops at Boulogne is daily increasing, but from the circumstances of their being continually under arms, they are supposed to be conscripts only. It is understood on board our squadron, but on what authority we know not, that the army is to resume its position on the coast early in June, and that the long threatened and menaced project of invasion, is to be attempted during that month.
Mr. Tierney is, we understand, to be the new governor of the Cape of Good Hope.
Irish affairs. —The Courier of the 3d March, in noticing the new administration of England, observes, "Mr. Fox found it necessary on the 17th ult. to declare in parliament, against the repeal of the union with Ireland, saying, measures might be had at first, but when once they had been carried into effect, to repeal them might be worse than to let them continue. This reasoning will enable Mr. Fox to abandon all his opposition doctrines, and we are happy to see Mr. Fox have recourse to it, as it gives assurance that he will not be the dangerous man in power it was apprehended, that he will not advocate the plans of Sir Francis Burdett, or promote the designs of the corresponding society. But this reasoning has not wholly removed the effects of his original imprudent declaration. The meetings of Dublin have indeed resolved not to press the repeal of the union immediately; but they have appointed a permanent committee to maintain a correspondence throughout Ireland with those who desire the repeal. Mr. Fox's rash language has given birth to an establishment of corresponding societies, the evils of which may one day be severely felt. He seems fully aware of the mischief he has done, and has made a second declaration in parliament to counteract it. In the debate on India affairs on Tuesday:—"He agreed we were not to revert to original theories; but when we were explaining the causes of important events which were extremely complicated in their nature, it was somewhat difficult to do so, without, in some measure, advertising to such original theories. He, however, did not mean to say that any alteration ought at present to take place in the general system of Indian government as now by law established. He had occasion to state, at a former time, that there was a wide difference between disapproving of measures at their commencement, and afterwards rescinding them when they had been some time in practice. This he had said with regard to the union with Ireland. He had strongly disapproved of this measure when it was proposed, because he was then convinced it was a bad one, & was still convinced that it would have been much better for the country if it had never taken place. He had also disapproved of the plan for the government of India? But what he said with regard to the union with Ireland, he now said respecting this plan of Indian government. It was, in his opinion, a bad one from the beginning; but as it has been adopted and acted upon, it was not now to be lightly rescinded. In 99 cases of this nature out of 100, it was better to put up with many inconveniences arising from the first adoption of a measure, than hazard worse evils by premature and ill considered alterations and innovations."

The above declaration of Mr. Fox is of the highest importance; it cannot be too often read and considered by the country. It is a general argument, applicable to any other measure or system of things as well as to the union and government of India. On the same principle Mr. Fox may renounce every opinion he has hitherto given. The public will perceive this with great satisfaction, and will cherish the most flattering hopes. For this we are no doubt indebted to the influence of Lord Grenville, who has also, we believe, prevailed on Mr. Fox to abandon all design of soliciting peace at a moment so inauspicious as the present. Under these circumstances we shall "hope for the best," without minutely investigating the minor appointments in the government.
DEAL, March 10. That Bonaparte will the ensuing summer attempt his long threatened invasion, is generally believed. It should seem also as if some co-operation by the Batavian republic was intended, from the movements that are making in the Dutch ports. A vessel is arrived from off the Texel, and admiral lord Keith, in consequence of the intelligence brought, has this day sailed in the Edgar for the coast of Holland, and is now entirely out of sight.
VIENNA, February 5. The treaty with France is published. But though we are at peace, the movements of our troops are remarkable. The Court Gazette has published the following
PROCLAMATION.
FRANCIS II, &c. &c. &c. "I have given peace to my good & faithful people. My resolutions have united with their wishes. I renounced all hopes of a change in the fortune of war, to banish with promptitude all the dangers and sufferings to which my flourishing country, and even the heart of the monarchy, my capital and residence, were exposed. The sacrifices are great and were with difficulty wrung from my heart; but they could not stand in competition with the welfare, the domestic and civil welfare of millions. For these I made the sacrifice; and I expect my indemnification in the blessings which are promised to my people by the return of peace. I know no other happiness than that of my people's and no glory superior to that of the father of these people, who in loyalty, unshaken fidelity, and disinterested love to their sovereign and their country, give place to no nation in Europe. The fair fame of their national character has exacted an unwilling tribute of esteem even from the enemy; but in my heart they have fixed a monument which time itself will not be able to destroy. Under these emotions, I return to my residence in the circle of my loyal and estimable citizens and inhabitants, and to the resumption of the direction of my affairs. The wounds inflicted by the war are deep—several years may be necessary to heal them and to obliterate the impressions inflicted by the sufferings of this unfortunate period. The administration of the state has greater, and duties more difficult than ever to fulfil; and they will fulfil them; but they have at the same time stronger claims than ever upon the co-operation of all classes, for the laudable purpose of restoring the vigor of the intention, by disseminating the true culture of mind, and animating the national industry in all its branches, through the restoration and increase of the national credit; and by these means to establish the monarchy upon that basis which the variable fate of the state of Europe has rendered necessary. Every moment of my life will be directed to this object, and devoted to the improvement of the welfare of the noble and good people who are dear to me as the children of my affection. United by the mutual obligations of reciprocal confidence, and the cordial love of my subjects, I shall only believe I have done enough for Austria, as a prince and a father, when its prosperity is again secured; when the sufferings of the citizens are forgotten, and nothing remains alive but the remembrance of my sacrifices, your fidelity, and your exalted and unshaken patriotism."
perity is again secured; when the sufferings of the citizens are forgotten, and nothing remains alive but the remembrance of my sacrifices, your fidelity, and your exalted and unshaken patriotism."

LEXINGTON, MAY 27.
From several parts of this state we have accounts of the ravages committed by a worm, generally called the Army worm . We have heard of many fields of wheat, rye and corn, which have been almost totally cut down by this destructive worm.
BY THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, satisfactory information has been received, that Henry Whitby, commanding a British armed vessel, called the Leander , did, on the twenty-fifth day of the month of April last, within the waters and jurisdiction of the United States, and near to the entrance of the harbour of New-York, by a cannon shot fired from the said vessel Leander , commit a murder on the body of John Pierce, a citizen of the United States, then pursuing his lawful vocations, within the same waters and jurisdiction of the United States and near to their shores; and that the said Henry Whitby cannot at this time be brought to justice by the ordinary process of law.
AND WHEREAS, it does further appear that, both before and after the said day, sundry trespasses, wrongs, and unlawful interruptions and vexations on trading vessels, coming to the United States, and within their waters and vicinity, were committed by the said armed vessel the Leander , her officers and people; by one other armed vessel called the Cambrian , commanded by John Nairne, her officers and people; and by one other armed vessel called the Driver , commanded by Slingsby Simpson, her officers & people; which vessels, being all of the same nation, were aiding and assisting each other in the trespasses, interruptions, and vexations aforesaid.
NOW THEREFORE, to the end that the said Henry Whitby may be brought to justice, and due punishment inflicted for the said murder, I do hereby especially enjoin and require all officers having authority, civil or military, and all other persons within the limits or jurisdiction of the United States, where soever the said Henry Whitby may be found now or hereafter to apprehend and secure the said Henry Whitby, and him safely and diligently to deliver to the civil authority of the place, to be proceeded against according to law.
AND I DO HEREBY further require that the said armed vessel the Leander with her other officers and people, and the said armed vessels the Cambrian and Driver , their officers and people, immediately and without any delay, depart from the harbours and waters of the United States. And I do forever interdict the entrance of all other vessels which shall be commanded by the said Henry Whitby, John Nairne, and Slingsby Simpson, or either of them:
AND if the said vessels or any of them, shall fail to depart as aforesaid, or shall re-enter the harbours or waters aforesaid, I do in that case forbid all intercourse with the said armed vessels, the Leander , the Cambrian , and the Driver , or with any of them, and the officers and crews thereof, and do prohibit all supplies and aid from being furnished them, or any of them. And I do declare and make known that if any person, from or within the jurisdictional limits of the United States, shall afford any aid to either of the said armed vessels, contrary to the prohibitions contained in this proclamation, either in repairing such vessel, or in furnishing her, her officers or crew, with supplies of any kind, or in any manner whatever; or if any pilot shall assist in navigating any of the said armed vessels, unless it be for the purpose of carrying them in the first instance beyond the limits and jurisdiction of the United States; such person or persons shall, on conviction, suffer all the pains and penalties by the laws provided for such offences: And I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office civil or military, within the United States, and all others, citizens or inhabitants thereof, or being within the same, with vigilance and promptitude to exert their respective authorities, and to
be aiding and assisting to the carrying this proclamation and every part thereof into full effect.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand.
Given at the city of Washington, the third day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and six, and of the sovereignty and independence of the United States the thirtieth.

THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late became a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 25,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington. The subscriber wishing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at the very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public. Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to
Hugh Crawford, On Main street corner of Main Cross street.
An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. Journey men and apprentices are wanted.
NOTICE.
The subscriber will sell his mills on Hickman creek, Jessamine county, (formerly Bell's mills) if not sold at private sale before the 7th of June, they will be sold on that day at vendue to the highest bidder, at Traveller's Hall. For terms apply to the subscriber who will be on the premises, or in Lexington at Patterson Bain's. MORGAN BROWN. May 26, 1806.
THE SUBSCRIBER
Makes & sells women's good lined and bound slippers at 69 a pair by retail. The quality of his work and the unusual low price, will (he conceives) secure him the encouragement of a discerning public, who have annually exported from this place from 20 to 25,000 dollars a year for the article of women's shoes; by their affording him encouragement in this partial experiment, they will soon induce other shoemakers to follow the example, and thereby stop the importation and save the money amongst ourselves.

IMPORTANT. TO all those who with either to become citizens or to hold lands in that delightful country south of Green river. The subscriber being inclined to remove to Tennessee, offers for sale, the plantation on which he now resides, together with six thousand acres of land, situate on both sides of Red river, and Big Whipperwill, including several fine mill seats, and as valuable a body of timber as any on Red river; surrounded by barrens, some of which are equal in quality to any in Logan county; about 90 acres of cleared land, under good fence, a small apple orchard of the best fruit, a peach and cherry orchard, all in full perfection. On the premises is a large and elegant two story Brick House, entirely new, together with other necessary buildings. In point of health and beauty, this situation perhaps is exceeded by none in the state of Kentucky. The plantations lay one on the north, the other on the south side of the river, a little below where the two forks unite, and just opposite the confluence of Big Whipperwill. Those streams afford water sufficient (the river in particular) all the year to support a merchant and saw mill. A considerable quantity of the timbered land is fine rich bottom.
The subscriber has also for sale fundry other tracts of land in Logan county, and likewise in Christian county, one tract in Livingston county, and one on Cumberland river, Stewart county, state of Tennessee; he has in one complete tract in Christian 15,000 acres, equal perhaps in value, to any tract in that country. It is situate on the main source of Little river, including several miles on both sides of the river, and including some fine mill seats, (this river is a never failing fountain) it is situate in part about four miles below the court house, and extends from thence southwardly down the main river and the Sinking fork of said river, the distance of five miles (or more perhaps.) The subscriber has also another tract of land lying on the south side of Little river, about eight or ten miles from Cumberland river, consisting of 7800 acres, part well timbered, the remainder good level barrens. This and the other last mentioned tract, has a number of fine springs on them, and are both well calculated to form a settlement for a number of families. The former is sufficient to make a settlement for 20 families; the latter is sufficient to make 8 or 10 farms, and good settlements. The subscriber has for sale, fundry other smaller tracts in Christian, all or any of which he will sell upon terms perhaps more moderate than any such lands have been sold for many years past. [The summer range in all this country is equal to any in the universe] Indisputable titles will be made to the purchasers. For terms and further information, apply to the subscriber at his plantation, about 12 miles south of Russellville. Letters addressed to the subscriber, [post paid] and left in the post-office at Russellville, will be duly attended to, and answered through the medium of the mail. If part of the purchase money be paid in advance, a considerable indulgence will be given for the remainder. BEVERLY A. ALLEN. March 23, 1806.
