A nd for sale at this office, THE MONITOR, By Archibald Cameron, minister of the gospel

LETTER
To the Editor by Allan B. Magruder, Agent of the United States, for the investigation of land claims, in the western country of Lower Louisiana.
[CONCLUDED.]
I have reasons to believe, that most of the land titles here, will be confirmed by Congress. It is the object of an equitable and enlightened government rather to consult the happiness of the citizen in deciding upon his claims, than to acquire large portions of public lands, by oppressive laws, or rigid adjudications. In this case, the purchaser will, in most cases, be sure of procuring a fee simple estate. It is true, that there will cases prevent themselves, where, from the incautious method of laying out lands under the Spanish government, some interferences will be discovered. These will be subject to the control of our common courts of judicature. The mode of adjustment, however, under our laws, will be very simple, that none of those long and ruinous litigations, with respect to real property, in many parts of the United States, may be apprehended here.
The best lands, with the most undoubted titles, can be procured in most parts of the country, upon the lowest and most desirable terms. Most of these are situated upon navigable water courses, which interlock with streams of superior magnitude, that five hundred acres of land, even in a commonly advantageous situation, in many parts of the Western States, would yield a sufficient fund for the purchase of five hundred acres a piece, for a family of six or seven children, in Lower Louisiana.
The above described lands, will yield to the hand of cultivation, profitable crops of cotton, rye, oats, hay, grass of various kinds, tobacco, particularly suitable for the Dutch, the French and the Baltic markets, and indigo; all of which will flourish well upon portions of ground, selected from the general mass of territory, best adapted to the nature of each of those commodities. Our principal staples here, however, are cotton and cattle. The raising of these, far exceeds, in point of profit, every other article that is produced in the country. In good seasons, a negro man will yield from his labour on a cotton plantation, from two hundred and fifty to three hundred dollars, nett profit. The stock of a cotton estate will double itself every three years, the stock of a vachery, every four years. Cotton, at market, will average one year with another, from twenty to twenty-five dollars per hundred. A man is growing wealthy, when he receives fifteen dollars per hundred every year, at market. Beeves will average from ten to twelve dollars per head. Nothing can be more valuable than this kind of property. There are men here, who mark every year, from five to fifteen hundred calves; and this remarkable product is attended with such little expence, that it is too trifling to admit into our calculations on this subject. Cows, except barren ones, are never sent to market; but the male beeves, at proper periods, are selected from the herd, and driven by land to markets that are always ready to receive them.
There is no country in America, so suitable to a young beginner, or a man in moderate circumstances, as the Western parts of Lower Louisiana. This description of men, have nothing more to do, to fix themselves comfortably in life, than to purchase a small piece of land on the edge of a prairie, and go to plowing immediately for corn, or cotton. It is true, that in many places, fencing will be necessary. The mode of laying out lands in this country, will always enable him to procure a plenty of the best timber, for all the purposes of a plantation. Very large crops, however, have been made, in such situations, without any kind of enclosure. The next object of a planter in this respect, would be, to purchase a few cows, in order to lay the foundation of a vachery. To support this vachery, as I observed before, as well as a sufficient number of horses, very little trouble or expence is necessary. The prairies and the woodlands, at every season of the year, yield an ample supply of strong provender, to keep them in tolerable order.
Society here, is agreeable, but not very refined. It will become
more improved every year; and I have no difficulty in believing, that whenever the singular advantages of this charming country are known to our countrymen, that it will assume the most desirable form, in point of social happiness; become the resort of men of letters and character; the abode of genius and the arts, and the asylum of republican virtue, when corrupt societies have forgotten its influence.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
MR. EDITOR;
By giving the following Poem a place in your paper, you will much oblige PHLO OSSIAN.
SONG OF SCRUTINA,
After the manner of Ossian
ARGUMENT.
The Poem commences with a meeting of the faction who gave birth to the Western World, to meditate further evil. It then discloses the confusion they were thrown into by reading the publication of William Little. The Poet then relates the conversation between the leaders of the faction, and the ostensible Editors, which concludes the Poem.
Hark! 'Tis the dismal sound that echoes from thy roof, O Hypocritus! The great conclave is met, to further the works of wickedness; their voices resound through the gloomy hall of faction, like the roaring winds of the cavern. Loud were the cries for the genius of Federalism, but thy voice, O William, rendered the walls like the torrent that gusheth from the mountain side. Hypocritus leaped from his seat and screamed—the friends of Federalism hung their heads—How were the mighty fallen!—Lift up thy face, O Street, like the brazen shield of thy chieftain! Thou art bold to confront disgrace, and shame is not known to thy brow—but tender is the fame of thy leader, who droopeth his head like a faded lily,—leave not Hypocritus in the day of defeat, when the people of the country fly from him, like the herd from the galled deer. The friends of Hypocritus are fled—he is alone—he layeth himself down in despair, and sleep knitteth up his brow. Soft were his dreams, when thinking on his deep laid plots. Lo! the grim ghost of Wood arose, pale as the mist of the moon—Crooked was his short square form—his eyes scowled as he whispered to his leader on the couch. "Rise, (he sayeth,) arise bright leader of the sable conclave—the shadow of Federalism shall cover thee, like the wings of the hen, sweet chicken of the motley brood—Heed not the change in the minds of the multitude—they have fled from thee, like cackling geese from the hard-biting fox; but will they not rally and return to the charge? Let the host of Federalism be numbered; they are still mighty as the flocks on the mountain." Street came forth from the gloom—troubled was his mind, as the waves of the watery deep—He struck to notes of consolation for his chief. "I behold thee, chief of Federalism! I behold thee sitting on the mist! Thy form is like a watery cloud, singing in the deep like an oyster! Thy face is like the beams of the setting moon! Thy eyes are of two decaying flames! Thy nose like the spear of thy hero! Thy ears are like two bossy shields! Strangers shall rejoice in thy chin! The ghosts of dead Tories shall hear me in their airy hall!"
Hypocritus rose from his couch! His frame shivered like the loosened sail to the wind—the blood chilled in his veins—his eyes were like the twinkling stars. He spoke—his voice was like the hollow wind. "No more will I sing the delusive song of hope: for behold the potent spirit of William—'Tis Street and Wood who worketh the works of darkness!" "Hither we come," said his imps—"Like the moles of the earth—Deep caverns have been our resting places—Ground-rats our food. Sacred minion of Federalism, raise thy foul—droop not at the spirit of William. Great are thy foes in the fight of the many-tongued war. Shake not thy knees, like the leaves of the Aspen, on the misty hill—the doors of retreat are shut. But potent is the breath of calumny!—before it, the voice of thy foes is as the wind, which whistleth through the vale; it passeth away like the swift cloud of the night! The breath of Federalism filleth the raging storm—Whil't thou breathest the breath of his nostrils, thou shalt live forever. Firm standeth thy heel in the temple of Hypocrisy—Mighty art thou with the father of lies, illustrious leader
of the friends of Federalism! Great art thou, O lovely imp of the fable conclave! O lovely guardian of the Aristocratical Junto!"
From the Charleston Courier.
The following brief sketch of Bonaparte, is copied from a late European publication; and in the present dearth of news, may perhaps be deemed worthy of a place in your paper. It does not attempt to depicture the modern King-maker at full length, but the leading features are well preserved. It appears to be drawn by the hand of a master; and every one acquainted with the character of the extraordinary original, will immediately pronounce it to be a striking likeness.
"Possessed from nature of a restless and a bitious soul, he has let slip no opportunity of promoting his interests, and lifting himself up from the lowest rank of life. He has been the child of Fortune, and yet he has left nothing to Fortune that he could effect by his activity and his intrigues. He has triumphed over all his rivals: for in a military government, such as that in which he contended, the chief power often becomes the prize of the most daring and crafty, while other qualities are of no account. His unofficial mind incessantly revolves new schemes of ambition, which he discloses and prosecutes with the most consummate dissimulation. Order, and humanity, and good faith, are continually in his mouth; while in every step in his career, he tramples without regard on these sacred names. Though enthusiastically desirous of the character of a hero, he possesses no liberality of soul; and in all his transactions, in vain do we search for a noble and a generous deed. The cruelties he has committed, are of a new kind in this civilized age; the relation of them would fill the soul with horror. His abilities have occasionally called forth many praises, and much admiration; but a man that in his designs and actions, constantly disregards those principles of justice and uprightness, which regulate the conduct of other men, always appears to possess higher abilities than he actually has: his actions, having no restraint or barrier, are prompt, for he consults only his power. But divested of principle, his wisdom is only craft, and his bravery is the daring of a robber. By some, he has been compared to the illustrious Cæsar; but he has not the generous nature of that extraordinary man; and his military skill sinks into nothing, before the transcendent genius of the Dictator of Rome. It is difficult to find a resemblance of him, except we go to the countries of the East, where sometimes rise to view those disturbers of the peace of mortals, whose steps are marked by desolation, and in whose dark souls, no pleasing ray of humanity ever shines."
VIENNA, May 21.
According to private letters from Naples, Gaeta will be attempted by storm in a few days. This fortress, rightly called the little Gibraltar, holds out, and is likely to hold out a considerable time. In consequence of the answer which the Prince of Hesse returned to the last summons, the French have established five new redoubts; three against the fortress, and two against the gun boats, which have annoyed them considerably. The place has received very little injury from the French shells. For want of men, the garrison can make but few sorties, as its whole force does not consist of more than 800 troops of the line, about 1000 levy en masse, and two companies of artillery. The latter have lately been reinforced by about 400 artillery-men, a proof that King Ferdinand wishes the place to be defended. The suburb, which has proved an obstacle to the Governor's activity, has been levelled with the ground. His marine, as it is called, in the harbour, consists of eight launches, a frigate, and twelve fishing vessels, each of them carrying a four pounder, besides some other vessels, one of them a French privateer of 12 guns.
The Prince is upon the batteries the whole day, and sleeps there the greater part of the night. These batteries, elevated upon heaps of stones, are so very high, that it will be very difficult to enter them with scaling ladders. Or the batteries, there are three lines, besides a fortification called a Sega. Other batteries cover the flanks of the place; and exclusive of these out-works,
the whole of the ground is mined; so that the entrance of the place, even by storm, must be attended with very great loss. As to starving it, that will be extremely improbable, as the present stock of provisions is respectable, and can always be increased as long as the sea remains open; besides, the Prince can effect his retreat by the same channel, whenever he may find it convenient.
After the example of Gaeta, another little fortress in Ambuzzo, viz. Civitella del Fronio, continues to defend itself. It is situated upon the summit of a rock, and is defended by about 50 men, under an Irish Major, who was formerly in the service of the King of the two Sicilies.
SALEM, July 22.
Tornado.—On Thursday afternoon a heavy cloud, of threatening appearance, rose from the westward and passed on the eastward; the edge of it only touched this town and afforded us a gentle shower with very little wind. But in Beverly the rain was heavier, and the wind was extremely violent. Its principal strength seems to have extended from Beverly bridge to a little distance beyond the South meeting house, or the breadth of about half a mile. Within this space, its force was tremendous, the roof of the meeting house was started, and considerably injured. A three story dwelling house with brick ends, had four brick chimneys blown down, and the tenants at the bottom of the frame broken off: it is remarkable that another chimney, on a kitchen adjoining the house, which had a weak flagging, &c. about it, that might have been pushed over with the hand, stood unaffected, supposed to have been in the hollow of an eddy of wind which played round it, and passed over without its feeling any effect. A dwelling house of Mr. Herrick's was unroofed.—A new house, just boarded, belonging to a Mr. Odlin was laid flat. A small store of Mr. Page's, and a number of other small buildings, were blown down, and the planks of the bridge torn up, many trees were torn up by the roots, or twisted off by the trunk. Stalks of corn, &c. which were broken off, appeared as if cut with a knife, owing to the circular force of the wind. A chimney on one house was actually turned round by it. In the bay, the George Washington, then coming in, had a new sail torn to pieces in an instant, and many small vessels felt its force, but no material damage has been ascertained. The violence of the wind continued about five minutes, and the rain not much longer. Further eastward they had more rain, but less wind. We have not heard of its progress in any other places.
PETERSBURG, August 1st.
PROSPECTS—DREARY!
The period is not within our recollection when the wide face of nature presented so gloomy a spectacle, as at this moment—Vegetation appears to have lost its power of expansion, or to perform its functions so sluggishly, as to hold out the fear that it forgets to operate at all. In a ride that the editor took a day or two since (a distance of about 30 miles) he could not but observe the melancholy ravages of the present unheard of drought upon the crops of every species. The most favourable weather from this time can only secure to the farmer a moderate supply for his next year's subsistence, as all hopes of a "saving crop" are irretrievably blasted. Nor is this mournful picture limited to a particular district—rumors from all quarters declare it to be every where seen, every where felt. We wait for the issue in painful anxiety.
(Intelligencer.)
The Virginia Gazette of Wednesday last says, "We learn from Washington that Dispatches, of a hostile nature, have been received from Mr. Monroe, our Minister at the Court of London, and that it is said, Great-Britain refuses to come to any adjustment of our differences, in consequence of the energetic measures adopted by our government during the last Congress."

Extract of a letter from Abenstock, in Saxony, April 27.—The dreadful dearth and famine which distress our mountains, are particularly felt in our very populous town, where provisions are not abundant, and where 3000 inhabitants are crowded together in 400 small houses. One third is so exhausted by famine, that many of them who might earn something by their labour, are so reduced as to be unable to do anything, and are obliged to submit to their rigorous fate.—Some relief which they received from time to time, from charitable persons in distant parts, retarded the melancholy end of these unfortunate wretches, which is inevitable, unless God himself rescues them from their misery. The young people are most to be pitied; out of 500 children who attend the school, there are at least 100 who look like corpses. Most of them have no strength to go to school, they have no other sustenance but bread and potatoes, and those not in sufficient quantity.
ty for their support. In this situation they await their melancholy fate, extended naked in their huts.

CAUTION.
At a court of oyer and terminer, held at Batavia, for the county of Genesee, on the 30th of June ult. at which his honor Judge Livingston presided, a person of a suspicious appearance, who called himself William Richardson, was indicted and tried for counterfeiting and passing a twenty dollar bank note, of the Bank of the United States. Four other notes of the same impression were found with him. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner, when apprehended for the forgery, declared that he had obtained these notes in different places, for teaching the art of clarifying whiskey. From an examination of the notes, and by comparing them with those that were genuine, it appeared very evident to the court, that they were forged. They had all been struck off from the same plate, and it appeared very improbable, that the prisoner should have obtained five twenty dollar notes of the same impression, in different places. The paper of the forged notes, is of a meaner quality, the impression much fainter, and the engraving executed in a more bungling manner than the genuine notes, though the signatures appear to be well executed.
There was no doubt in the minds of the court, and of those who were present at the trial, that the prisoner was guilty; but the jury, going upon the principle, that crimes punishable with imprisonment for life, require absolute and positive proof, found him not guilty. As, however, it was universally acknowledged that the notes found upon this fellow were forged, and as it is highly probable that many others of the same kind are in circulation, it will be incumbent on the public to be cautious.—(Canandaigua Repos.)
MORE COUNTERFEITING.
Last Thursday, a fellow by the name of Jesse Richardson, of Cayuga, was committed to jail in this town, for passing counterfeit bills of the United States' Bank. On examination, five twenty dollar bills were found upon him, three of which he had concealed in one of his shoes; he had also passed two other bills of the same denomination in Geneva, near which place, he was apprehended. Not having seen the bills, we cannot describe them; but as this Richardson is brother to William Richardson, mentioned in our last, who was tried and acquitted at Batavia, (there not being testimony sufficiently positive to establish his guilt, but which no body doubted,) for passing counterfeit bills of the same bank and denomination, it is probable that they were all executed by the same hands. There were also found with the prisoner, several letters of a suspicious nature, which, with other circumstances, leave no doubt of there being a numerous gang of counterfeiting villains in this, as well as other parts of the State.—(Ibid.)

LEXINGTON, AUGUST 25.
MELANCHOLY.
Saturday morning last Mr. John R. Shaw was blown up by the accidental explosion of a blast, which he was preparing to blow the rock in the well of Mr. Lewis Sanders, about two miles from this place. Mr. Shaw was mangled in a most shocking manner, and little hope is entertained of his recovery. Both of his arms are broken, one in two places—one leg shattered for several inches his skull fractured in the upper edge of his forehead, which occasioned trepanning, to extract the fractured bones—and his whole body one entire bruise. In this mangled condition, he lay near 15 minutes in the well, enveloped with mephitic air, before he could be taken out.
ON Saturday last Archibald Parker passed thro' this place, to have his trial for stealing a horse from Maj. Rodes Thomson in Scott county. From his confession it appears he is connected with a company of horse thieves near this place.
On Wednesday the 20th August 1806, an elegant Barbacue was prepared by Capt. Banks, at the Olympian Springs, where upwards of 100 ladies and gentlemen, celebrated the anniversary of Gen. Wayne's victory over the Indians, in 1794, in the most animated and agreeable manner. The dinner was superb, harmony and sociability pervaded every breath, and joy appeared in every countenance.
Gen Charles Scott presided. Gen. John Adair, vice-president.
The following Toasts were drank, and the evening closed with a sprightly dance.
1. The day we celebrate—This day twelve years ago, Gen. Wayne with the American legion, in conjunction with the Kentucky volunteers, under the command of Gen. Scott, gained a complete victory over the Savages, which was the basis of a permanent treaty, and secured peace to the people of the Western country.
2. The memory of the Heroes who fell on the 20th August, 1794.
3. The memory of the illustrious Gen. Washington, the father of his country and the friend of Mankind.
4. The memory of Gen. Wayne—May his military services during the American Revolution, and in the Indian war, be gratefully remembered.
5. The patriots and heroes of '76, who established our Independence; may their memories live forever.
6. The President of the U. S.—the greatest statesman and philosopher of the age, under whose auspices we enjoy every blessing.
7. The Vice-President of the U. S.—The tried patriot and firm soldier.
8. James Madison, Secretary of State—May his merit be rewarded by the highest office in the gift of the people.
9. The United States of America united, firm, and free—May he who attempts to create parties and to divide her citizens, be spurned from society.
10. The State of Kentucky—May her citizens prove by their conduct, their attachment to the Union, and hold in utter detestation those who dare to calumniate them.
11. The Legislature and Executive of Kentucky—May wisdom and harmony pervade their councils, and their acts tend to the general good of their country.
12. May truth be supported, and falsehood detected; and may all calumniators be punished by the contempt of a discerning public.
13. The memories of those heroes, who lost their lives in establishing the first settlements of Kentucky.
14. Agriculture, manufactures, and commerce—May they ever be encouraged and protected by our citizens.
15. Captains Lewis and Clarke—Success attend their enterprize, and may their discoveries prove beneficial to our government.
16. The Olympian Springs—May the proprietor meet with that encouragement which its accommodations and attention, so justly merit; and may the uninterrupted harmony, and refined social intercourse enjoyed by its visitors, (upwards of 100 in number,) pervade every part of the state.
17. The Fair of Kentucky—Enlightened, virtuous and amiable—May each meet with a friend, qualified to appreciate her worth.
VOLUNTEERS.
After Gen. Scott had retired. Gen. Charles Scott—May his military services be duly appreciated while the world lasts.
After Gen. Adair retired. General Adair—A soldier, a statesman.
COMMUNICATIONS.
Street deprecates certificate men: doublets, because no man of character can be got to certify for him. Those who communicate with him and his reputable associate, only do so at midnight—funken as their characters have been, they seem unwilling to sink them still lower, by avowing an association with Wood & Street.
No Burrism; No Federalism, say the Editors of the Western World. But are not their back-door associates , and warm friends, the cockade men and Federalists of 1798? and how does it happen that in whatever town they happen to visit, they scent out Federalism, wherever it may lurk.
The Western World and Ohio Herald afford a hopeful squad of Editors—falsehood and calumny are their most distinguishable characteristics.
The Ohio Herald has discovered that the principal characters charged with being concerned in the Spanish Conspiracy are Federalists—and it is proven in the same manner, that the ostensible Editor of the Herald is found to be a Democrat. The supposed Conspirators, with only one or two exceptions have been uniform Republicans, and the Janus-faced Editor once printed a Federal paper.
Alas! Poor Yorrick.
[We copy the following concluding remarks on the appearance of the first No. of the Western World, from the Enquirer.]
The accusations here insinuated, are of too serious a nature to be lightly believed or lightly developed. Whilst it is therefore our duty, to keep ourselves open for the examination of the evidence it is not less our duty to wait for its development. We shall consequently suspend the publication of this essay, until we can determine from the testimony which shall be hereafter adduced, whether it is worthy of serious notice. In the mean time it may be proper to submit what seems to be the evidence for and against these allegations?
PRO. CON.
A letter of Mr. Brown to Judge Muter, published in the Kentucky Gazette of 1789.
An appeal to an interesting correspondence said to have taken place between General Washington and Colonel Marshall, which is said to be at present in the possession of Gen. John Marshall of this city.
He was once an assistant Editor of the Virginia Gazette, the federal paper of this city, and is now the Editor of a republican paper. John Wood is the notorious author of the history of the administration of John Adams.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 2.
By the ship Oliver Ellsworth, Captain Bennet, arrived at this port last evening, we have been put in possession of London dates to the 18th of June, and of Liverpool to the 20th. The interesting trial of Lord Melville has terminated. His lordship conducted himself with great dignity and firmness, and as soon as the acquittal was pronounced he bowed, and retired. His numerous friends then pressed round him, all eager to offer him their warmest congratulations, and an express was immediately sent off to Scotland with the intelligence.
By passengers in the Oliver Ellsworth, we learn, that the most prevalent opinion was, that a Peace would take place between Great Britain and France in the course of the summer, as pacific overtures from Bonaparte were under consideration.
Lord Selkirk, appointed ambassador to the United States, had taken leave of his government, to depart immediately for America.
No material changes appear to have taken place on the Continent since our last advices from that quarter. From the Observer of Sunday June 5, we have selected the following articles of Continental news:
Yesterday a bag of Letters was received at the Post-Office from Holland, with some German Journals of later date than those transmitted by the late mails;—they have furnished us with the following interesting intelligence.
An extensive promotion has taken place in the Prussian Army, a measure generally adopted at the commencement of war, of which it is now considered as indicative. Several fresh regiments have been ordered to join the Prussian army in Pomerania.
The Suedes are busied in constructing works along the River Pene, which divides Swedish Pomerania from Prussian Pomerania, and the Prussians who crowd the opposite bank, do not offer the least impediment. At Stralsund, the fortifications are completed; and a Militia, to the number of 5000 men, has been organized to assist in the defence of the place.
The Emperor of Germany has not yet appointed an Ambassador to Paris—Count Metternich, now at Berlin, it is said, is to go thither, and to be placed at the Prussian Court by Count Merveldt, now employed in a secret mission to Petersburg.
Lucien Bonaparte still lives at Frascati, near Rome, and has refused his eldest daughter (by his first wife) being sent to Paris, as Napoleon desired; declining also, the offer of the latter to obtain for her an advantageous marriage.
An English corps is stated to have landed at Cape de Istria, in the Adriatic.
The Archduke Charles has increased the organization of Volunteer Corps in Vienna, to the number of 20,000, and has encouraged similar associations in all the other cities of the empire. It is confidently stated that the Levy en Masse and Volunteers now occasionally assembling and training in Hungary, Bohemia, Austria, &c. amount to between four and five millions of men; while the most extraordinary and successful exertions are making to reinforce the army. A letter from Rotterdam, which announces these measures, adds, that they become the subject of a strong remonstrance on the part of M. Rochefoucault, and an enquiry as to the occasion of them—to which Count Stadion replied, that they were considered necessary for the purpose of internal defence.
The French continued to the date of the last accounts from the Inn to be unremittingly employed in strengthening Brannau. Three thousand of the neighboring peasantry had for three months been engaged on the works.
Baron Grote, late Prussian minister in Lower Saxony it is said, is to be the third Prussian Minister of State, in the room of Count Keller, who refuses to act with Count Haugwitz.
Baron Thugut has been recalled to Vienna.
The Duke of Brunswick, by an order dated the 9th May, has directed the levy of 60,000 dollars for the support of the Prussian troops in Hanover.
The Turkish fleet, under the orders of the Captain Pacha, failed on the 1st April to cruise off the Morea and Albania; it consisted of one ship of the line, three frigates and six corvettes, and is to be followed by nine ships of the line and several frigates.
Lieut. Col. Hederstiera, who, in the Swedish frigate Thetis, of 40 guns, commands the blockading squadron off Dantzic, officially notified the service on which he was employed on the 23rd ult.
The Danish Marine, which has lately engaged the active consideration of its Government on the 1st inst. comprised eighty-three vessels of various denominations ready for sea.
The new German constitution is the production of Bacher, the French Charge d'Affaires.
The King and Queen of Prussia had on the 3rd inst. left Potsdam for Pyrmont, from whence they proceeded to Hanover.
The differences between Sweden and Prussia are likely to be soon adjusted, under the mediation of the Russian Ambassador, M. D'Alorens. Count Stackelberg has, however, the chief management of the negotiations now carrying on.
Yesterday accounts reached the Admiralty, respecting the French squadron which failed from L'Orient on the 5th November, and which continued to the middle of March to cruise between Prince's Island and St. Thomas's, (on the coast of Africa) for the purpose of intercepting the outward bound American ships. The squadron consisted of an 84, two frigates, one brig, and one or two British captured vessels, having on the 12th March, taken 24 vessels, mostly Guinea-men.
The ship Mary Adams, was captured on the 12th February, on her passage from Acerra to Cape Coast, by the Sybelle, one of the above frigates, after an action of two hours in which the Mary Adams had ten men killed and nine wounded, including all her officers. The squadron then ran down the coast, and off Benmar, then gave up the Mary to the prisoners, retaining only Mr. Atkinson, second mate of the Mary, whom they carried to Prince's Island, and on the 12th March gave him his parole. Mr. A. is arrived at Liverpool.
Yesterday a bag of letters arrived at the Port Office via Portsmouth, from Gibraltar. We have by this channel received advices from that Garrison to the 20th ult. at which period accounts had reached Gibraltar from Ragusa to the middle of April contradicting the report of the Neutrality of that Republic, having been violated, either by the French or Russians.
Gen. Fox is to have the command of the British troops in Sicily, and to retain the Government of Gibraltar.—Sir J. Moore consequently goes on second in command.
A promotion of Admirals is spoken of as about to take place immediately. We understand that it is to include Capt. Stopford, who is the twenty-first on the Captains list.
FROM RICHMOND, July 30.
We learn from Washington, that dispatches of a hostile nature, have been received from Mr. Munroe, our Minister at the court of London, and that it is said, Great Britain refuses to come to any adjustment of our differences, in consequence of the energetic measures adopted by our Government during the last Congress. We also understand, that these dispatches have not been in the possession of Government for a few days, but for many weeks; and that the Editor of the National Intelligencer, in several of his late publications, has been preparing the public mind to expect a failure of the negotiation. In this paper, of the 14th inst. he says:—
"Although nothing has yet occurred to impair our expectations of an accommodation; it becomes us, standing upon the strong ground taken by the Legislature, to be prepared for a less favourable issue, should Britain, either from systematic error, or from the misrepresentation of parties among ourselves, refuse to acknowledge our indisputable rights. Let it be recollected, that in such an event, the act passed by Congress, is the first leading step in a system of measures, well calculated to awaken her from her delusive dreams; and that it was expressly adopted, as a measure equally fitted for producing a change in her conduct, or for standing as a part of our permanent system of commercial regulations."
To Booksellers & Store-keepers. JACOB D. DIETRICK, Printer and Book-seller, Hagerstown, Maryland, has now in the press, his Washington or Hagerstown GERMAN ALMANAC, FOR 1807.

STANZAS, BY THOMAS MOORE, TRANSLATOR OF ANACREON.
Come, tell me where the maid is found, Whose heart can love without deceit. And I will range the world around, To light one moment at her feet.
Oh! tell me, where's her faintest home, What air receives her breath'd sigh, A pilgrimage of years I'll roam, To catch one sparkle of her eye!
And if her cheeks be rosy bright, While truth within her bosom lies, I'll gaze upon her morn and night, Till my heart leave me through my eyes!
Show me on earth a thing so rare, I'll own all miracles are true; To make one maid sincere and fair, Oh! 'tis the utmost Heav'n can do!

WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were in general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where excretiating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort.
G. A. WEBER.
N. B. Dr. Buchanan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be fully sufficient to ensure remittance to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking.
Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June 1806.
TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.
Elegance combined with Utility, in Willis's New Fashioned SHOES.
In ancient times the bards foretold, The rhyming trade would ne'er grow old--'Tis true in these more modern times, Mechanics manufacture rymes; Murphy and Shaw have try'd their part To imitate the rhyming art, And WILLIS in these rhyming times Must surely weave a web of rhymes. Ladies here I beg to mention, (Claimants of his full attention) Handsome shoes in every part, Is Willis's master piece of art--He holds does make, which Queens might handle.

Coffack boots, and fair tops too, Made neater here than any shoe, All sorts and sizes well assorted, Made of leather, the best imported, And now to tell you where he lives, And strict attention there he gives, To orders sent both far and near, He'll fit you well you need not fear: Main-street, next door to neighbor Noel, Those who know this, possesses a jewel; But not to make description fainter, 'Tis opposite Mentelle the painter; Adjoining the shop of Aaron Woodruff, Who makes you shoes quite good enough, To tell you this, my mind did labor When not friendly with a neighbor, If ladies send a pattern shoe, He'll make them neatly to fit you, Believing this the best expedient, He now remains their most obedient, RICHARD WILLIS, Lexington August 18, 1806.
