LITERARY SELECTIONS.
FROM THE UNITED STATES' GAZETTE.
PREFACE TO LEO THE TENTH.
(Continued.)
The earliest professed history of Leo X. is that of Paolo Giovio, better known by his Latin appellation of Paulus Jovius. This author, the character of whose various productions is sufficiently known, had every opportunity of obtaining the most exact and authentic information on the subject of his history. The life of Leo X. written like the rest of his works, in Latin, is one of the most valuable of his productions, containing much authentic information, and being perhaps less tinctured than the generality of his labours, with satirical spirit, which its author on many occasions evinced. With this history of Leo X. by Jovius, and the Italian translation by Dominichi, printed at Florence in 1549, the learned world seems to have remained satisfied for upwards of two centuries. Many incidental anecdotes and brief memoirs of this distinguished pontiff, where in the mean time given to the publick; but the first serious intention of connecting the life of Leo X. with the history of the revival of learning, appears to have arisen in our own country, where the elegant and pathetic poet William Collins, about the middle of the last century, is said to have published proposals for such a history. "I have heard him speak with great kindness," says Dr. Johnston, "of Leo X. and with keen resentment of his tasteless successor; but probably not a page of the history was ever written." Much as we may regret the failure of this enterprise, those whom nature has endowed with the capacity of feeling the charms of the tender and impassioned productions of this author, will regret still more those calamities that prevented him from increasing the number of his poetical works, which have justly been characterised, as exhibiting "a luxuriance of imagination, "a wild sublimity of fancy, and a felicity of expression so extraordinary, "that they might be supposed to be suggested by "some superior power, rather than to be the effect "of human judgement or capacity."
Among the friends of Collins, who seem to have shared his confidence and his studies, was Mr. Thomas Warton, by whom the design of giving a history of the restoration of Letters in Europe, was continued, or revived. In the excellent Essay of his brother Dr. Warton, on the life and writings of Pope, is the following passage. "Concerning the particular encouragement given by Leo X. to literature and the fine arts, I forbear to enlarge; because a friend of mine is at present engaged in writing the HISTORY OF THE AGE OF LEO THE TENTH. It is a noble period, and full of those most important events, which have had the greatest influence on human affairs. Such as the discovery of the West Indies by the Spaniards, and of a passage to the East by the Portuguese; the invention of printing; the reformation of religion; with many others; all of which will be insisted upon at large, and their consequences displayed." As the Essay which contains this passage, was first published in 1756, the same year in which Collins died, it is possible that this notice was intended to refer to his undertaking; but it is also certain, that on his death, the design was not abandoned by his surviving friends. In a conversation which I had with the pleasure of enjoying with Doctor Warton, in the year 1797, the progress made in an undertaking which had been so long announced to the publick, came an object of my inquiry. By him I was informed that it had been the intention of himself, his brother and several of their literary friends, to give a history of the revival of letters, not only in Italy, but in all the principal countries of Europe; and that the history of English Poetry by Mr. Thomas Warton, was only a part of the great design. When we advert to the various and excellent critical productions of these liberal and learned brothers, and consider that among the names of their coadjutors, would probably have been found those of West, of Walpole of Mason, and of Gray, we cannot sufficiently lament the want of publick encouragement, which was, in all probability, the chief cause that prevented this noble and extensive undertaking from being carried into complete execution.
In Italy the life and transactions of Leo X. have, within these few years, been the subject of a work of no inconsiderable merit. To the writings of the late much lamented and learned Monsignore Angeloni Fabroni, Provvidore , or principal, of the university of Pisa, I have before been indebted for many important facts in the life of Lorenzo de' Medici; some of which I have examined with that freedom, which, to some authors, would have been a cause of offence, but which a liberal mind will always prefer to the vain homage of indiscriminate applause. The attempt which I then made to illustrate a period of history, which had been the peculiar object of his inquiry, had the good fortune to obtain his approbation. Under his auspices, the English life of Lorenzo de' Medici was elegantly translated into Italian, by the Calabrian Mecherini, and published at Pisa in the year 1796. I was afterwards honoured by the correspondence of Monsignore Fabroni, which was continued until the time of his death in the latter part of the year 1803; and in course of which he transmitted to me his "Life of Leo X." written in Latin, and published in Pisa in the year 1797. In this work the learned author has not confined himself to the account given of Leo X. by Jovius, but has collected much original information respecting this pontiff, and the age in which he lived. By the aid of these resources he was enabled to throw additional light on the subject; whilst the valuable collection of documents published by him at the close of his work, not only confirm his narrative, but supply important materials for future historians. As the work was not however, intended by the author, so it must not be expected by the publick, to contain a very full and extensive account of the progress made during the pontificate of Leo X. in the departments of science, of literature, or of art; or of those very numerous and distinguished men, to whose writings and labours the reign of that pontiff is indebted for its principle lustre.
But besides these professed histories of Leo X. several works have appeared, which are chiefly confined to the elucidation of some particular parts of his life, or of those of the times in which he lived. Among these are the history of the League of Cambray by some attributed to the pen of Cardinal Polignac; the narrative of the battle of the Taro, between Charles VIII. and the allied army of Italy, by Benedetti; the lives of Alexander VI. and his son Cesar Borgia, by Gordon; the dialogue of Raffaello Brandolini, entitled Leo; and the commentary of Galeazzo Capella, on the efforts made for the restoration of Francesco Sforza to the duchy of Milan; with many other publications of a similar nature, of which it will appear that I have frequently availed myself, in the course of the following work.
The detached and particular histories to which I have before adverted, contain, however, but a small portion of that immense mass of information which remains to the present times, respecting the publick and private character and conduct of Leo X. From the high dignity which he enjoyed, both as a secular and an ecclesiastical potentate, and from the active part which he took in all the transactions which affected the state of Europe, his life is intimately connected with the general history of the age; inasmuch that there is not an author who has had occasion to treat on the events of this period, in whose work he does not occupy a conspicuous station.
To these, the recorders of the political, civil, and military events of the times, I might add a long train of literary historians, to whom I have been greatly indebted for that department of the following work, which is intended to illustrate the state of letters and of science; among these, must be distinguished the immortal work of Tiraboschi; the noblest specimen of that species of composition which any age or country has produced; and the accurate and comprehensive account of the writers of Italy, by Mazzuchelli, who in grasping at an object too extended for human talents, or human life, has executed in six volumes in folio, a comparatively small portion of his colossal attempt.
I shall not on this occasion, weary the reader by enumerating the many other various and excellent authors, either in this department, or in that of the fine arts, in which the Italians abound beyond any other country who have afforded their assistance in the following pages; but I must avail myself of this opportunity finally to observe, that I have made it an invariable rule, in the accounts which I have found it necessary to give of the writings and characters of men of literary eminence, to resort for information to their own works, as far as my opportunities would permit and to found my opinions and draw my deductions from them, rather than from those of any subsequent writer. How far I have been enabled thus to derive my intelligence from its primitive channels, will sufficiently appear in the course of my work; in which it has been my practice to refer to the author from whom I have actually quoted; and who must be considered as answerable for the accuracy of the citation, when the original has not fallen in my way.
Such are the works relating to the life of Leo X. and the times in which he lived, which have already been published, and of which I have availed myself in the course of the ensuing narrative; but besides these more ostensible courses of information, I have, during a series of years, been enabled to collect many original documents, which have served to throw considerable light on the times to which the following pages relate. Of these, one of the most important acquisitions consists of a series of letters and papers, copied from the originals in the archives of the Palazzo Vecchio at Florence, and forming two volumes in folio, of about three hundred pages each. For this valuable collection I am indebted to the obliging and disinterested interference of a nobleman, who adds dignity to his station, not only by the firm and consistent tenor of his publick conduct, but by his encouragement of those literary studies, in which he has himself made so distinguished a proficiency. The liberal views of Lord Holland were seconded by the kind assistance of Mr. Penrose, the late British resident at Florence, and were carried into complete effect by the generosity of the Grand Duke; who directed that access should be had at all times to the original state papers, and every possible facility given to these researches. The first part of this collection consists chiefly of letters written by the great Lorenzo de' Medici, father of the pontiff, relating principally to the promotion of his son to the rank of Cardinal. From these letters which have enabled me to place this event in its fullest light, I might have given much larger extracts, but as they elucidate only this single circumstance, it will perhaps be thought that I have been sufficiently copious in my authorities on this head. This collection also comprises a series of letters written by Balthazar Turini, commonly called Balthazar or Baldassare da Pescia, then at Rome, to Lorenzo de' Medici, the nephew of the Pontiff, who resided at Florence during the early part of the Pontificate of Leo X. From these, none of which have heretofore been printed, it appears that the writer was appointed assistant Datary, or Secretary, to transmit to Florence the fullest information on every event that took place at Rome, not only with respect to publick transactions, but to the private concerns of every branch of the family of the Medici. In the execution of this office he seems to have acted under the immediate directions of the Cardinal Giulio de' Medici, afterwards Clement VII. who was intrusted by Leo X. with the superintendence of the government of the Florentine state, and to whose suggestions Lorenzo was expected implicitly to conform. These letters, although they extend only from the month of March to the month of September, in the second year of the pontificate of Leo X. (1514) throw considerable light on the characters of the persons there mentioned, and suggest or illustrate many curious and important circumstances, but besides these, the most material subjects, this collection of papers is interspersed with other documents of considerable interest, not heretofore published, and which will be more particularly noticed in the course of the following work.
BRITISH CONSUL'S OFFICE, Norfolk, Virginia, August 31, 1805.

The Enquirer, in one of his late reveries, makes the following conclusion:
"The principal part of our squadron is now on a visit to the Regency of Tunis, with which we have some points of difference to adjust. It will probably take the tour of the Barbary states. Should they not receive any orders to leave the Mediterranean, they will winter at Syracuse. May they soon be safely moored within our own harbours."
And does the Editor of that paper really desire that our ships may be safely moored within our own harbours? Could not the sufferings of the marine and mercantile part of our fellow-citizens, call forth one wish in their favour, and excite a little sympathy in the breast of this philosophical Editor? To a mind susceptible of many resentment, the first idea which the return of our squadron would suggest, would be the hope of seeing it employed in the protection of our commerce, now a prey to marauders of all nations. The Enquirer can bluster away sometimes too, but then that is directed against Spain, who will not give up some wild lands, which we do not want; but the protection of our commerce, is a thing, which in all his reveries the Enquirer does not dream of. No, no, "Commerce must be left to protect itself."
POLITICAL ESSAYS
ON THE ESSENTIAL AND DISTINCTIVE QUALITIES OF DEMOCRACIES AND REPUBLICS, WITH REFERENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
From the Baltimore Republican or Anti-Democrat.
ESSAY XIX.
Aristotle, in his chapter of the various ways of appointing magistrates, under different forms of government, observes. "A simple democracy requires, that the whole, collectively, should appoint from the whole, by vote; by lot; or in some offices by vote, in others by lot. A well ordered republic requires, that the whole, not collectively, but separately by divisions, should appoint from the whole or from a part; by suffrage, by lot, or by a due mixture of both. An oligarchy requires, that a part only should be invested with the right of appointing, either by vote or by lot; or in some cases by vote, in others by lot. In aristocracies, all the citizens may be invested with the right of electing, but the elected must be persons of a certain description. In oligarchies, the sphere of the candidates, as well as that of the electors, must be narrowed and confined to persons of a certain census." (99)
Speaking, in the same book, of the various modes in which courts of justice are constituted, he says. "That all political or publick causes should be determined by Judges, chosen from the people at large, is agreeably to the nature of democracy; that all such causes should be determined by men of a certain description, is agreeably to the nature of oligarchy; but that some courts should be formed from the citizens at large, and others from a distinguished portion of the citizens; or that the members of the same court should be appointed, some of them from the whole body of the people, and others from a distinguished part of the people; some of them by lot, and others by suffrage; all these mixtures and combinations are agreeably to the nature of a justly constituted and fairly balanced republic." (100)
In describing the distinctive characters of governments, he observes. "Aristocracy degenerates into Oligarchy, when the few, who are rich, govern the state as best suits their avarice or ambition: and a Republic degenerates into a Democracy, when the many, who are poor, make the gratification of their own passions the only rule of their administration." (101)
"The last, and worst species of democracy, by its political arrangements, admits, and, by the allurements of fees and salaries, attracts and entices all conditions of men to the exercise of every department of executive as well as deliberative authority. In order to introduce this form of policy, demagogues think they can never too much strengthen the popular party. Children descended from the intermarriages of citizens and strangers, all sorts of materials, however impure and corrupt, are considered as proper aliment for such a constitution." (102)
"As to oligarchies, it is plain that they must be constituted on principles totally different; since the highest intention of oligarchy is diametrically opposite to the highest intention of democracy. In proportion as oligarchies and democracies recede from their highest intention, that is from the worst constitution of each, a tumultuary populace on one hand, and a tyrannical cabal on the other, the distance between them is gradually diminished; each preserving, however, its distinctive character, till, by continual approximations, they finally run into each other, and blend, harmoniously, in a well constituted republic." (103)
It is necessary to adduce more instances to prove that a republic and a democracy are not convertible terms, or words of synonymous import?—Can a doubt remain in any mind, not feared against truth, that a REPUBLIC is not a DEMOCRACY?
If we survey our respective state constitutions, we shall find in them the principle of democracy, with the leading, but least exceptionable, features of aristocracy and oligarchy, as here defined by the Stagyrite. Hence, these being governments containing a due mixture of opposite principles, nicely poised and accurately adjusted, they have with strict propriety, been denominated, by the highest authority, Republics; the Constitution of the United States declaring, that, "the United States shall guarantee to every State in the Union, a Republican form of Government." (104)
It results from this view, that the due admixture of the principles of different governments constitutes a republic. Is the government of the United States a mixed government? Does it combine the principles of different governments?—In its principle it is purely democratical, but its parts are calculated in such manner as to obtain the advantages also, which are peculiar to the other forms of government" (105). This the adversary acknowledges. What, then, are those parts which give to it the advantages peculiar to other forms of govern-
ment? Are they not its Executive and Senatorial branches? Have branches so formed, endowed, and constructed as these, ever been found in a Democracy?—No. Most assuredly, no.
"The advantages of Monarchy are, strength, despatch, secrecy, unity of council" (106). Were these to be obtained without the appointment of a single chief magistrate; vested with the chief Executive authority of the State?—Have we not a magistrate in whom this authority is vested, in whom there are both the form and principle of Monarchy?
"The advantage of Aristocracy is, wisdom, arising from experience and education" (107). Was wisdom arising from experience and education to be obtained without one branch of the government being composed of men of a certain age only; according to Aristotle, "the least invidious of all distinctions" (108); and those men, too, elected to office for a number of years?—Is not the Senate of the United States so constituted? In it there are both the form and principle of Aristocracy, without the inconveniences that arise from "a long and detached establishment." (109)
"The advantages of Democracy are, liberty, equal, cautious, and salutary laws, publick spirit, frugality, peace, opportunities of exciting and producing the abilities of the best citizens. Were these advantages to be obtained without a branch of the government, which should always exhibit a fair and honest representation of the people, elected by the people at short periods?—We have, therefore, a House of Representatives, elected every two years, by the people; by which the evils of Democracy, as well as its form, are avoided."
To these different principles the constitution owes its nature and character; and to the preservation of the powers assigned to each branch, its utility and permanence.
Mr. Jefferson, while his [first] election to the office he now fills was pending and expected, observes—"The great question which divides our citizens, is, whether it is safest that a preponderance of power shall be lodged with the monarchical or republican branch of our government" (110). We do not know that any such question divided our citizens at that time, or since the adoption of the constitution, which ascertains the respective powers of the monarchical and republican branches of our government. Since its ratification the powers of the one could not be legally passed to the other, without a formal change in the constitution. Neither could this be effected indirectly by congress, without the authors' violating their oaths and the constitution.
A change in the relative weight of either of the branches of government, as fixed by the constitution, must produce a change in the nature and character of the government. Take from a pound one ounce, and it is no longer a pound. Make the President eligible yearly, and you increase the Democracy. Make him eligible by the people, instead of a few electors, and you increase the Democracy. Transfer all his powers to the popular branch, and you erase from the constitution its monarchical part. Reduce the duration of the Senate to that of the House of Representatives, and take away from it the limitation of age, and you increase the Democracy at the expense of the Aristocracy. Make the House of Representatives eligible annually, give to foreigners, after a year's residence, the rights of citizens, establish in every state universal suffrage, and render the judges dependent on the legislature, and you increase the Democracy. Finally, make the whole people legislators, by taking their votes on the passage of all laws, and the appointments of all those who command, or judge in the government, in tribes, districts, committees, divisions, or other equivalent mode, and you convert the government into "a complete and perfect DEMOCRACY."
The conclusion of the whole is, that the due and happy mixture of the principles and forms of Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy, as found combined in the Constitution of the United States, entitles it to be denominated, what its framers intended it to be, neither the one nor the other of those kinds of Government, but "a justly constituted, and fairly balanced REPUBLIC."

Extract of a letter from London, dated August 2d.
"SIR, You inform me, that by a recent law of the United States, the cargo of a vessel intended for exportation need not be landed in the United States.
Sometime since it was too generally believed, that a cargo after having been landed in America, the duties paid, &c. might be sent, even in the bottom to an enemy's country in Europe; that a vessel might come to England at least, without unloading.
"But the late decisions shew that neither is permitted; that the landing, without changing the bottom, is not sufficient, &c.
"The markets in France, are in the lowest state of depression—not much better elsewhere. Your merchants I hope will refrain from shipping till their prices of W. I. produce are materially reduced—that they will lessen their India and China trade.
"The war impoverishes France so much, that their consumption of E. and W. I. produce has diminished one half at least. I should suppose two-thirds. The high prices of sugar and coffee must have also diminished the consumption in Germany. In Holland the same.
"The ports in Holland are again open to the admission of goods from England, via Embden."
Grumbling.—The friends of John Bull were no doubt pleased yesterday to read an authentick account of the capture of two Spanish ships by admiral Calder's squadron; but their satisfaction was far from complete. Proceeding upon the principle that one Briton is a match for three Spaniards, they think that in the place of taking two, the admiral should have taken ten of the enemys ships, and to save the trouble of capture and convoy, we suppose, have sunk the rest. It is an easy matter for a man who has perhaps just risen from a hearty dinner, with his modicum of Madeira in his head, to say how and how the fleets should have manoeuvred, and to call the commander a coward or blockhead who did not blow every vessel of the enemy into the air. But speculation and action are different things. The best concerted plans may be defeated, and the bravest hero at times seem timid. With the admiral's conduct we have no particular concern. But we did not like to hear him railed against by those who could have only a very imperfect idea of his conduct, and to whose hasty censure he could not possibly have an opportunity of replying.

FEDERALISM RISING.
NEWPORT, Aug. 31.—The late meeting for the choice of Representatives was conducted with great order and regularity, and ended in a full and complete triumph of the Federal Candidates. For four years preceding the choice in April last, the Federalists have been excluded from all share in the Representation of the town.—They have been represented as unworthy the confidence of their fellow-citizens; and no pains were spared to traduce their political principles, and enflame against them the passions of the community. The two last
elections are strongly indicative of a change of publick opinion. Time and events, dissensions among themselves, mutual criminations, and detections, have exposed the motives and principles of the Office-Seekers, who, under the name of Republicans, arrogate to themselves all power. The publick mind is at least beginning to be enlightened, and we sincerely hope the consequences will be a restoration of social harmony, and an increase of publick prosperity. We may reasonably presume that the example will be imitated in other towns, and a large majority of the citizens of this State will again respect those who have remained stedfastly attached to the principles of Washington, who are not ashamed of them in the period of their temporary discredit, and who will continue with firmness to avow them, and to shape by them their conduct and practice.
In the neighbouring town of Portsmouth, the following Gentlemen (all Federalists) have been re-chosen Representatives to the general assembly, for that town, viz.
Richard Sharman, William Anthony, Daniel Chase and Clarke Chase.

EXTRACTS.
"Viana, July 29, 1805. The Resolution lugger, of Guernsey, arrived off this place yesterday. The captain of her tells me, he saw 27 men of war on Saturday, off Vigo, to which they appeared to be going, and he thinks it is an enemy's fleet, from the appearance of their sails. Two of the frigates chased him a considerable time, and it was with much difficulty he escaped. He afterwards spoke a Portuguese schooner, the master of which told him it was a French fleet; and what makes it more probable, is, that General Caldas has received orders from Valencia, that all communication, on the part of Galicia, is stopped by the Spaniards, to prevent, it is supposed, any person giving information.
"The Resolution has retaken the Princess Elizabeth, West-Indiaman, and taken a Spanish letter of marque; the latter had captured the sloop Nelly, Thomas Loch, and the Argo, Holditch, from Porto to England, with wine, and sent them for St. Andero."

By a person just arrived from Viana, who left it yesterday morning, we hear, an express had just arrived from the governor of Valencia, stating, that the communication between Tuy and Valencia, is suspended; no Portuguese is suffered to pass into Spain; or Spaniards into Portugal, and such Portuguese as were at Tuy are detained.
"War with Portugal is publicly talked of in Galicia, and French troops are said to be marching into Spain by Estremadura; we have not heard of any to the northward, excepting 5 or 6000 men that have arrived at Ferrol. This is disagreeable and unexpected, but we know no more for the present."

CHARLESTON, Sept. 4.
Mr. J. B. Jarboe, gunner, and Mr. James Love, sail maker, on board the brig Jane, of Baltimore, which was captured and sent into Barracoa, and who arrived at this port in the brig Lear, have furnished us with the following particulars of that action:—
On the morning of the 25th July, off the Platform, were engaged by the French privateer Superb, capt. Dominique, mounting 6 guns, with 87 men, completely accoutred with muskets, &c. The Jane mounted ten carriage guns, and at the commencement of the action had 44 men, 6 of whom were too sick to stand the deck; her commander capt. William Kennedy, was killed early in the action, which lasted about one hour, when the privateersmen carried the Jane by boarding, after being twice before beaten off in attempting it. On boarding the Frenchmen behaved in the most shameful and cruel manner; Mr. Anderson, the mate, who was wounded in the arm, and who was the only officer remaining on deck when they came on board, was immediately cut down with their sabres; as was also one man and a boy, who had not secured their retreat by running below—Mr. Fanning, supercargo of the schooner which was captured in company, and who had taken passage in the brig for safety, was thrown overboard, and endeavouring to swim to the privateer, was wantonly shot while in the water. The rest of the crew of the Jane were cruelly treated by the privateersmen, and plundered of every thing.
The following are the names, which can be recollected, of those who were killed or wounded on board the Jane.—The whole number was 17 killed and 9 wounded.
KILLED.
William Kennedy, master, Mr. Anderson, first mate, William Dexter, boatswain, Henry Smith, boatswain's mate, Alexander Moulton, carpenter. Wm. Johnson, Charles Lewell, Robert Valliant, Joseph Pembleton, Francis Bowen, Wm. Grenell, John Baker, John Cooney—seamen.
Wounded and in the hospital at Barracoa.
Jeremiah P. Davis, 2d mate dangerously. John Jennings, Thomas Howell, and Geo. Davis, seamen—the cook and his mate.
The sch't Satellite, capt. Hall, of Baltimore, with a cargo of coffee, valued at 14,000 dollars, was captured and sent into Barracoa.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, August 2.
Extract of a letter from an officer of Admiral Calder's squadron, dated on board his majesty's ship Triumphant, at sea, July 31.
July 12, off Rochefort, arrived two brigs with despatches to our Admiral, to order him to quit his station, and join the fleet under the command of Sir Robert Calder, off Ferrol, with all possible expedition. We accordingly crowded sail, and reached our destination on the 15th, when we mustered, in all fifteen sail of the line, two frigates, a lugger and a cutter. On the 22d inst. in lat. 44, 10, N. and long. 11, 32, W. Cape Finisterre bearing E. by S. distant ninety miles. At noon, moderate breezes, and very foggy weather; one of our look out frigates discovered a strange sail of fleet in the W. S. W. quarter; made all sail in line of battle and close order in chase, and found them to be the French and Spanish combined fleets, consisting of thirty sail of ships of war, twenty of which were of the line, seven frigates, two brigs, and one register ship, laden with two hundred thousand pounds in dollars; at five o'clock gave three hearty cheers in honour of the day, and commenced the action with the van ships, four Spanish and three French. We received the fire from nine of the enemy as we passed along their line, only aided by the Barfleur. During the first half hour the action became general, and very warm, and we should have succeeded in cutting off four Spanish ships, had not six of the French come to their assistance just in
time, by which means they frustrated our design.— You may judge of our activity, when I inform you, that we fired away four tons of powder, seventeen tons of shot, and three tons of wadding, in all 52 broadsides.
"About nine o'clock the action ceased, in consequence of the darkness of the night, and I am happy to say, at day light we had in our possession two Spanish ships, one of them an 84 gun ship, and the other a 74; besides this, we sunk one of the French ships, called the Scipion, a new 74, and all hands perished. Both fleets, during the following day, were employed in repairing damages received in the action, the enemy to windward, within six miles of us, in line of battle, but shewed no intention of renewing the action. We have sustained much damage, having received seventy three shot on board, which disabled our main mast, bowsprit, several shot between wind and water, besides cutting the sails and rigging. I am extremely sorry to state the loss of three valuable seamen, and one marine killed, eleven men wounded, three of them dangerously. The two fleets kept in sight of each other for two days afterwards.
"After the unfortunate Spaniards were dismayed, the Frenchmen fired several broadsides into them, which exasperated them so much that when they got on board the English ships they gave us all their signals, as well as those of the French, and informed us of all their proceedings, which I shall now communicate for your further information. On their return home, it was, their intention to raise the blockade of Ferrol, from thence to proceed to Rochefort, and next to Ireland, supposing the Best fleet should have been able to get out to join them; but I am happy to say we have rendered all their plans abortive."
A letter from on board the Triumph, says, that the Scipion, French man of war was sunk in the action of the 22d. It mentions the following particulars, some of which likewise seem doubtful:
"After the unfortunate Spaniards were dismayed, the Frenchmen fired several broadsides into them, which exasperated them so much that when they got on board the English ships they gave us all their signals, as well as those of the French, and informed us of all their proceedings, which I shall now communicate for your further information. The combined fleets sailed from Cadiz with twenty thousand troops on board, with the intention of taking the Island of Jamaica. On their arrival at the West Indies, they were informed of Lord Nelson's fleet being in pursuit, and being disappointed of meeting the Rochefort squadron, could not put their plans in execution. The French allowed the Spaniards to take the Diamond Rock, but afterwards they turned them off, and ordered them to repair on board their own ships again, then hoisted the French flag, and garrisoned the Rock with the French troops. On their return home, it was, their intention to raise the blockade of Ferrol, from thence to proceed to Rochefort, and next to Ireland, supposing the Brest fleet should have been able to get out to join them; but I am happy to say we have rendered all their plans abortive."
THE EMPEROUR ALEXANDER.—The liberality and gratitude of the people of England, must naturally prompt them to hear with pleasure, of any trait of character which tends to exalt the general estimation of a Prince, who has long manifested a particular friendship for this country, and who now so warmly interests himself in favour of the oppressed states of Europe. In the Emperour of Russia, Buonaparte will have to contend with, a sovereign who not only materially differs from all his predecessors in that country, but who cannot suffer by comparison with any sovereign to be found in Europe, not more distinguished for publick magnanimity, than for private benevolence. From a gentleman who has recently arrived in this country from Russia, and who is well acquainted with the character of Alexander and his subjects, we learn, that the devotion of the people to that prince amounts to a degree of almost unparalled enthusiasm. Among those who have been heretofore accustomed only to contemplate their sovereign with a mixed feeling of wonder and dread, and to approach his presence with a trembling awe, there now prevails through the conduct of Alexander, a confidence in this justice, a reverence for his morals, and an affection for his person. In their sovereign the people of Russia recognize their friend; and the first feeling of every Russian heart, may be said, without exaggeration, to be gratitude towards their prince, as the first sentiment to be heard throughout Russia, is the praise of his character.
This universal and ardent popularity has not been obtained by any of the arts of the demagogue, or by that "study to please," which is prescribed by French politeness, but it is the natural effect of that course of beneficence, which springs directly from the heart. This excellent prince is entirely free from that superciliousness which many men, much inferior to princes in rank, seem to think essential to dignity. The humblest subject may address him without embarrassment, and will be heard with the most patient attention. To obtain an audience of him it is not necessary to crouch to the arrogance of courtiers, or to purchase the intercession of sycophants. He is perfectly accessible to every class of his subjects. When at Petersburg, he is to be met with in various directions, quite alone. He feels no desire to be surrounded by guards, because conscious of inflicting no injury, he has no reason to apprehend the effects of resentment, and to guards, or to any other appendage of his rank, for the mere purpose of parade, he seems perfectly indifferent.
The usual walk of Alexander is on the banks of the Neva, upon the least frequented parts of which he is often seen generally in a very contemplative, and sometimes in a melancholy mood. In one of his walks lately, a boatman happened to fall into the river, and after being some time in the water, he was taken out, through the exertion of his companion in the boat, and carried ashore. Alexander hastened to the spot where the drowned man was landed, and assisted his companion in stripping him, rubbing him, and using the customary means to produce resuscitation. The poor man was recovered, and Alexander gave him a sum of money. Upon his companion his majesty settled a pension for life, as a reward for his active benevolence.
Several anecdotes of a similar nature have been stated to us, by the gentleman we have referred to, about none of which can we discover a single circumstance that would justify the slightest suspicion of an ostentatious motive, or that would even warrant an opinion that Alexander had the least reason to think his beneficence was ever likely to become known to the world.
Of such an ally England has reason to be proud, and such an enemy France has equal reason to dread. For in any war in which Alexander is likely to engage, he must carry with him the confidence and good wishes of the intelligent and the good of all nations, together with the unanimous and active support of one of the most numerous and martial populations that has ever fallen to the lot of man to reign over. The coincidence of such a prince as Alexander, in the views of England, is one of the highest and most honourable testimonies that can be adduced in its favour, and one of the best omens that can offer of its ultimate success.

A solemn question arises in this place—Will, or will not, some late alterations, and proposed alterations, in our constitutions and laws, tend to lessen, if not finally to destroy, the weight of the intermediate class of citizens, which alone balances and keeps steady the vessel of the republic.

rier has been despatched from Berlin to Paris, to communicate to Buonaparte, M. Novosilzoff's note to M. Hardenberg. The emperor of Germany has nominated count Bellegarde to be commandant at Venice.—Troops, ammunition, artillery, and military stores of all sorts continue to be accumulated in the Tyrol, and towards the whole Italian frontier of the Austrian dominions. The force in Inner Austria, Italy, and the Tyrol, amounts to nearly 200,000 men. Frequent messengers still pass and repass between the courts of St. Petersburg, Vienna, and Berlin.—The king of Prussia still professes the warmest attachment to the alliance of France.—The scarcity and dearness of provisions in Vienna, lately occasioned among the people which the interposition of the soldiery was requisite to suppress. A new and closer alliance is said to be in negotiation between Russia and Sweden.
We repeat, that government expects immediate attempts of the enemy to land in Ireland, and on the English coast. The numbers of the North Sea fleet have been, therefore, recently augmented to nearly thrice as many as they were before. Every vessel in readiness has had orders to join the channel fleet. And orders are despatched to put every thing at sea and land in full preparation to resist such an enter-prise.
The squadron before Calais has again driven fifty French gun-boats back into that port, which were attempting to steal from it to Boulogne.
Government, we understand, have received undoubted information, that a squadron consisting of two three-deckers, two frigates, and two brigs, have been seen in lat. 48 1-2 long. 8 1-2 steering with a fair wind in a direction for Cape Clear. It is supposed to have been a division of the enemy, which has slipped out either from Rochefort or L'Orient.

Intelligence has at last arrived from Lord Nelson. On the 19th, or as other accounts say, the 22d, he arrived in Gibraltar Bay. His lordship having refreshed his crew, and taken on board water and provisions, again sailed in quest of the enemy, after ascertaining that they had not passed the Straits. It was on the 26th that Sir Robert Calder lost sight of the enemy, steering south.
The despatches from Lord Nelson were brought by the Pickle schooner. On the 2d she saw 3 French line of battle ships and 3 frigates, which are supposed by some to be the whole, or part of those lately sailed from L'Orient or Rochefort. This squadron was cruising off Cape Finisterre, where it is said to have been since the 31st. Its object there is not very easy to perceive. Some think it was to reinforce the combined squadron, others to intercept the Oporto fleet. Our fleets, however, are so actively in motion in that quarter, that we should not be surprised to hear of its being speedily captured.
Nothing is talked of on the coast but invasion, and though two years have elapsed in equipments, the activity which now prevails, seems as if it were but the commencement. On the other hand, the precautions of this government are redoubled. It was even said yesterday that the troops were embarked, both at the Texel and Helvoet, and that the expedition would put to sea the first opportunity. Buonaparte, from the state of the continent, may be desirous to strike the blow; and as the harvest approaches, he might hope still further to increase the embarrassment of this country, by calling out the population to military duties at this time. It is certain that a general expectation now prevails that the attempt will not be deferred.
RIOT AT DURHAM.
NEWCASTLE, July 26. Wednesday last the 2d Derby regiment of militia was disbanded in this town; about 150 were transferred to the 1st regiment, the remainder returned to their respective homes. Yesterday the whole of the 1st marched to Durham; soon after their arrival at Durham, strong symptoms of a riotous conduct were observable amongst the men, to such a degree that it was found necessary to send to this town for detachments of the 1st dragoons and Cumberland militia, which accordingly marched off with all expedition about 4 o'clock this morning.
Extract of a letter from Durham, dated July 17. "A battalion of the Derby militia passing through Durham on Thursday last, some of the privates, by their conduct, rendered it necessary to make application for committing two of them to the house of correction, to which place they were conducted by a guard of twelve men; but before these orders were executed, it appears that the mob of this city, several of whom were drunk, effected a rescue of the prisoners. Some of this militia are not free from taint, one having received 300 lashes yesterday on Gilligate moor, as being concerned in the affair. The two men have made their escape. The party of the Derby regiment, consisted of between 3 and 400 men; they began their march southward yesterday morning about 1 o'clock. At Ferryhill, about 6 miles from this city, they were overtaken by a large detachment of dragoons from Newcastle, and brought them into Durham market place; where I saw some of them at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, some of them were pinned."
"Gen. Grey, brother to the member, was present. The above account is the outline of this unhappy affair, which gives great uneasiness to the peaceable inhabitants of the place, and not without reason. The Durham volunteers, by order, attended the punish-
ment of the militia men. By order of Gen. Grey, the dragoons patrolled the town in parties during the whole night. The Derby militia proceeded on their march again at 5 o'clock this morning.—Times."
LIVERPOOL, July 24.
It is remarkable that the price of bread should still increase, notwithstanding the large importations into different parts of the kingdom. The wheat imported into the port of London for four days, as per bill of entry, is as follows:—15th of July, 7090—16th, 11, 400—17th, 4360—18th, 22,570.—Total 45,120 quarters.
There never was a greater importation of grain into Shields in so short a space of time than took place during the last week—No fewer than 17 vessels laden with that valuable article have arrived, whose joint cargoes amount to about 5500 quarters of wheat, and 8700 of rye.
STATE PAPER.
GENOA, June 8.
The Austrian imperial envoy here, baron Von Guesti, has delivered the following note to our minister for foreign affairs:
The undersigned minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary from the emperor of Germany and Austria, has received yesterday evening the note in which Senator Raggiere, the minister for foreign affairs, has informed him that the Ligurian senate has resolved on the union of the Ligurian republic with the French empire, and that the resolution will be immediately carried into execution, a deputation having been sent to his majesty the emperor in consequence. The government has at the same time thought proper to signify the motives which have induced it to annul both the old and new constitution, and renounce the rank it has hitherto maintained among independent states, to unite itself to another great power. I have also been given to understand that my mission to the Ligurian republic is at an end.
I will not examine the motives which have induced the senate to take this step—in this case the senate is the best judge and the object is of sufficient importance, since it relates to the existence and well-being of a state. But with respect to the termination of my mission, this entirely depends on the orders of my emperor, and till I receive these orders, it is impossible that I should consider my mission as terminated; I shall, therefore, as soon as possible, transmit to my court the note delivered, together with the decree of the senate, that I may receive directions for my conduct. I cannot doubt that the Ligurian government will in the mean time acknowledge the inviolability of my person, and defend the rights of the legation against any attack. I hope to find here that protection which is due to the Austrian and German nations; and I expect that the Austrian consulate for commercial affairs will remain on the footing on which it at present exists, agreeably to the law of nations.
(Signed) GUESTI. Genoa, June 2, 1805.
On the 5th inst. the senator Raggiere transmitted to the envoy the following note, in answer:
I have laid the note of your excellency, of the 2d inst. before the chief magistrate, and I have the pleasure to assure your excellency that the official respect which is due to your excellency, according to the law of nations, and agreeably to the sentiments of esteem which the Ligurian government entertains for his imperial majesty, will be carefully observed, both with regard to the person of your excellency, and towards the whole legation of his majesty the emperor of Germany and Austria.
VIENNA, July 6.
On the 3d arrived here, a courier from St. Petersburg, and the next day one from Berlin. In general the exchange of couriers between Vienna, Berlin and St. Petersburg, is extremely frequent.
We are assured that, in the course of the ensuing month, there will be an extraordinary levy of recruits to complete the army.
His Imperial Majesty has been pleased to appoint Field Marshal Lieut. Count Bellegarde to be commandant of Venice; Field marshal Lt. Stimbachin to be commandant of Division at Padua; Field marshal Lt. Auffenberg, to be commandant of Division at Vienna; and Field Marshal Lt. the Count of Lusignan, to be commandant of Division at Brunn.
They write from Italy, that a report prevails there, that letters between persons in a high station, have been intercepted, which appear to have been written with intention to excite commotions in the country.
ST. PETERSBURGH, July 3.
For some days nothing has been talked of here but an approaching war. A courier has been sent off to M. Novosilzoff, with orders to discontinue his journey. It is said that a considerable body of troops are assembling on the frontiers of Prussia and Gallacia.—Notwithstanding all this, however, we see no military preparations, nor any indication to confirm these reports of war.

All prizes not applied for within six months after the drawing is finished, will be considered as relinquished for the benefit of the institution.
MANAGERS. Joseph Jones, Robert Bolling, James S. Gilliam, John Wilder, William Willis, Robert Birchett, Roger Atkinson, William Prentiss, James Campbell, James Byrne, William Clarke.
N. B. The Managers pledge themselves to the publick to draw two hundred and fifty tickets and no more, on the days that a prize is affixed to the last drawn number.
The Managers of the Petersburg Academy Lottery, assure the publick, that the numbers and prizes are now preparing, and that the drawing will commence on the first Monday in October next, agreeably to their former determination; and they avail themselves of this opportunity to express the great pleasure they feel in seeing an institution so interesting to parents, so liberally patronized by the publick.
In devising the Scheme of the above Lottery, the Managers had in view to afford an opportunity of acquiring wealth as well to those whose circumstances did not permit them to adventure much, as to those who were differently situated. They observed in other Schemes the adventurer had to advance the whole price of a ticket before he obtained a chance; they give the adventurer two chances for advancing the whole price of one ticket, an advantage afforded in no other Scheme; and to which may be ascribed the great demand in which their tickets now are.
The Managers deem it a duty they owe the publick, to apprise them, that, as soon as the drawing commences, the price of tickets will be much increased, although until then they hold themselves bound to sell on the terms set forth in the Scheme.
Gentlemen at a distance who were so obliging as to take tickets for the accommodation of the publick, are requested to make an immediate return of the sales made, with the money received, and tickets remaining on hand, to Captain John Wilder, at the Office of Discount and Deposit, Petersburg, or to the person of whom they received them.

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 superior 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. ALDUS, 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

TO THE INHABITANTS OF NORFOLK. THE undersigned, late founder and proprietor of the CABINET OF NATURAL HISTORY, of New-York, presuming on the favourable disposition of the Ladies and Gentlemen of Norfolk, to promote useful institutions, and confident that they agree, with all intelligent persons, in their opinion of Natural History, which freed from the obscurity, in which it was heretofore involved, has acquired a high de- gree of importance, in the scale of estimation, and conse- quently that an establishment, having for its object to pro- mote the study thereof might be acceptable to them, makes bold to invite them to form a society, for the purpose of pro- viding their Town with an ELEMENTARY INSTITUTION, connected with a BOTANICAL GARDEN and a MUSEUM NATURE, which might serve at once as an useful School for the instruction of their Youth, in a valuable branch of Science, and as an ornament to their place of residence.
To the learned and to the true friends of Science, it is needless to state how much Commerce, Agriculture, Medi- cine and Arts, are aided and promoted by Natural History, and how nearly they are connected with all the concerns of human life: but as these preponderant considerations may decide in favour of the proposed plan, many of those, whose contributions are solicited, it has been thought expedient, to improve this mention thereof.—The spirit of liberality and the pious and wealthy State of Virginia, will, it is trusted, not be wanting at Norfolk, on an occasion, where an object, both useful and honourable to the same is proposed.
The sum necessary for the formation of a Botanical Garden, and of a Museum Nature, and for defraying the expenses at- tending the same, may be obtained, if four hundred friends of Science, of Norfolk and its vicinity are willing to subscribe 25 dollars each, towards the fund to be raised; for the only disbursement of some import, would be the erecting of the necessary buildings, and the providing of the first collection: since it may be reasonably expected that the gratuities, which the lecturer would obtain from those who should attend his Lectures, would be sufficient for his annual maintenance, and that the perquisites to be paid by the publick, for their ad- mittance at the Garden and Museum, would not only be suf- ficient, for defraying the expenses attending the same, but even leave an overplus, which might serve to augment, and successively to complete the collections.
Animated by the sanguine expectation that his proposition will meet with the approbation of the publick, the under- signed takes the liberty of submitting to them the following plan, and of offering his services for the execution thereof. A subscription to be opened by shares of 25 dollars each.— The shares to be saleable and transferrable without restric- tion.
The fund to consist of, at least, eight thousand dollars, and of as many more, over and above that sum, as may be obtained. The inhabitants of the State of Virginia, in general, to be invited to contribute to the success of the undertaking. The Subscribers to the fund, to be convened in a general meeting, as soon as the said sum of eight thousand dollars shall be subscribed; for the purpose of constituting themselves in a regular society; of framing rules and regulations for its government, and of appointing a committee charged with the general administration.
The Subscribers to use their influence with the Corporation of the Town to obtain the grant, or, at least, the use, for a length of time, of a suitable Lot of Ground, on which a competent building might be erected, connected with a Garden, furnished with Green Houses.
The undersigned to lay before the Committee, as soon as it will be appointed, a plan for procuring, with all possible economy, the subjects, which are to compose the collections, and to be bound to deliver Elementary Lectures on Zoology, Botany and Mineralogy, as soon as the collections will be ex- tensive enough to illustrate the same with specimens of each class, order, genus and species.
DELACOSTE. September 25.
SUBSCRIPTION. We the Subscribers, desirous to form at Norfolk, an Ele- mentary Institution, for the promotion of the study of Natural History, agree by these, to pay the sums by us respectively subscribed, towards a fund to be appropriated to the formation of a Botanical Garden, and a Museum Nature, under such regulations, as the majority of the Subscribers may determine at a meeting to be convened, as soon as the sum of eight thousand dollars shall be subscribed. The Subscribers to have the privilege of visiting the Garden and Museum gratis.
