For the want of something more important, and for the purpose of amusing our readers, we will present them with the French accounts of the operations in Calabria.
Naples, July 10.
"The English have at length executed the descent with which they have so long threatened us.—But this time their attempts directed against Calabria have turned to their disadvantage, though at first they had marked success. It is affliction to have to say, that they induced part of the inhabitants to rise, and that that act of revolt has forced the generals to inflict all the rigor of the laws of war upon the villages and the inhabitants. The following is the first report published relative to these bloody affairs."
"On the 1st July 6000 English landed at the Gulph St. Euphemia, in Calabria. On the 4th, general Regnier attacked them with the 42d regiment, and the Polish regiment. He was repulsed; general Compere severely wounded and made prisoner, with 300 Poles."
"The English had been reinforced by 3000 men, and by 3 or 4000 insurgents, who advanced into the country, and quitted the protection of their vessels. One league from Cozenza they were attacked by general Verdier, at the head of 10,000 infantry, and 2000 cavalry. The English were broken, routed, and at the moment of writing the account, 1800 English prisoners had already arrived at head quarters. General Verdier was in pursuit of the rest.—It was hoped they would not be able to join their ships. On the other hand, general Regnier proceeded to Cotrone, gave up the village of Lessola; 500 revolted Calabrians (i. e. attached to their lawful sovereign) who were put to the sword."
Now if any man, who is not a stupid John Bull , can read this very veracious article, and believe the account given by Sir John Stuart, why he must be—we will not say what? Our dear French friends did lose a general or so, but then, general Verdier with 10,000 infantry, and 2000 cavalry, soon drove this little army of English into the sea, for they have not been since heard of, except about the 4th of August, when under the same head of Naples , we find the following article—
"Generals Grenier, Verdier, and Mermet, have maintained their reputation. They preserved their position, and the English were compelled to re-embark."
Thus on the 10th of July, "the English were routed, broken, &c. 1800 were arrived at head quarters" (see account above), and the French in pursuit of the rest; but on the 4th of August they were compelled to re-embark.—Under date of the 4th August, the Naples accounts say, that "Cotrone still holds out against the rebels, and the English," the same English that they had taken and compelled to re-embark . We have published in our paper of the 28th of last month, the surrender of Cotrone to Col. McLeod , on the 29th of July, by capitulation. On the 5th of August we find the following article under the same head of Naples —
August 5.
"About the end of the month, Marshal Massena will be ready to set out for Calabria, to put an end to the remains of the insurrection. The English continue in possession of Amantea, where they made good their first landing."
Summary of the French News. —Under date of the 10th July, the English are victorious, then defeated, and all made prisoners. On the 4th of August they were compelled to re-embark. Cotrone that capitulated on the 29th July, holds out against the English (that were already destroyed in one account, and re-embarked by the other) until the 4th August, and finally Marshal Massena, about the last of August, would set out to drive off these same English, that were once destroyed, and once compelled to re-embark!
From the Petersburg Republican.
JOHN RANDOLPH, Esq.
We admire the eloquence, of this man; We are proud that he is a Virginian. His exalted talents and commanding powers of the mind, stamp him the man of deep erudition and extensive fancy. In the hottest days of persecution, during the administration of Mr. Adams, he was foremost in the ranks of opposition, and with an unbending arm, dragged the federal monster into light, and bearded the stoutest partizan of proscription and oppression. He received the applause of a grateful country—the blessings of all good men attended him—and he was hailed with rapturous acclamations by an admiring world. His eloquence, like the magician's wand, performed miracles; his opponents started at the bare mention of his name, and the few that claimed his attention, shrunk before his potent and invincible powers of oratory.—He was the republican David, that slew the mighty Goliath of federalism, and appalled and confounded the evil genius of aristocracy. It was John Randolph, who, "armed in complete steel," met the enemies of liberty in the legislative field, and overwhelmed and discomfited the host of federalism.
Such was Mr. Randolph. Then, "all mens' eyes looked upon him as a youth of expectation." He was courted, beloved, protected and cherished. But the sniles and approbation of his country overcame him. He was indeed but mortal; and the more violent and corrupt passions of his mind, triumphed over his patriotism, and the frailty of human nature bowed to the glittering attractions of flattery.
No sooner did the propositions of Mr. Randolph receive the disapprobation of those who had before echoed his wisdom and foresight, than he sunk in a moment from his high standing, and directed the whole weight of his eloquence at his former friends.
But his impotent fury recoiled on his own head, and the shafts of calumny, which were aimed at the breasts of Jefferson, Madison, &c. returned blunted at his feet. Their bosoms were shielded by virtue, and guarded by patriotism.
The publick conduct of Randolph is before the tribunal of his country—he is arraigned before the bar of the people, and their verdict will, in a short time, be pronounced.—The accusations against him are numerous; the witnesses to support them irrefragable.
Every merchant, and almost every man in the United States, remembers the fulminations uttered by Mr. Randolph against our ministry at Paris, on examining the documents laid before congress at their last session, from the council of prizes, respecting the case of the New Jersey, (Nicklin and Griffith's ship.) The boldness and effrontery with which Mr. Randolph addressed the house, astonished every body. "If you doubt my assertions, let John Mercer, one of the commissioners, be called to your bar," was the language of Mr. R. John Mercer has been called to the bar of the people, by the author of a pamphlet entitled, An examination, &c. of the case of the New Jersey. He there gives in his evidence, and proves that Mr. Randolph knows as little about our ministry and the court of prizes at Paris, as he does of the decorum of a legislator, or the dignity of a statesman.
Who ever believed, that Mr. Randolph, who was once the pride of his country, would risk his reputation, by making unfounded assertions, before the assembled representatives of his country, to gratify private pique and ill-natured malevolence? twelve months ago, John Randolph stood fair except in the eyes of federalists. A few short weeks rolled over his head, and they hailed him as their deliverer from obscurity and insignificance. They embraced; exchanged forgiveness of past injuries; and his " castrato voice ," was heard yelping in full chorus with defamers of the present administration.
[In republishing the above, let no one imagine, that it meets our approbation, we merely do it to shew the temper of the times.]
HURRICANE AT DOMINICA.
From the Dominica Journal of Sept. 20.
We again resume our Journal, after an interruption occasioned by the confusion and loss sustained in the office during the late hurricane, one of the greatest calamities this colony has sustained within the memory of its oldest inhabitants. To give a detail of the particulars of that unfortunate event would be a task impossible to fulfil with accuracy until things commence to be a little more settled, and that a regular communication with the country should be opened, the roads being entirely destroyed; we shall therefore confine ourselves chiefly to the giving a general idea of the whole, as far as intelligence received from the different parts of the country may enable us.
On Tuesday the 9th inst. about seven o'clock in the evening, the sky became totally over-cast, and tremendous flashes of lightning accompanied by heavy puffs of wind, presaged to the more experienced part of the inhabitants an approaching storm; but few expected it would have been so fatal in its consequences. The wind continued increasing until ten o'clock when it began to be accompanied by a most dreadful fall of rain, the effects of which accompanied by a pitch-like darkness, each moment illuminated by a sheet of vivid fire, and the roaring of the wind which every instant became louder, was awful enough to impress a dread on the heart of the most intrepid; soon after to complete our misfortune the river Roseau, increased by the heavy rains, overflowed its banks, inundated the town in every direction, and then the destruction became general; every house which obstructed its passage was thrown down, or carried away by the stream, and a great proportion of their unfortunate inhabitants perished: About ten o'clock every vessel in the harbour was driven from their moorings, except a small Swedish schooner, who was cast ashore under the fort a little after midnight, and those who were driven out, generally met with the same fate, amounting in the whole to 13 sail of different descriptions.
No pen can paint the horrors of that dreadful night, the tremendous noise occasioned by the wind and rain—the roaring of the waters, together with the shock of the Earthquake which was sensibly felt about midnight—the shrieks of the poor sufferers crying out for assistance—the terror of those who in their houses heard them, and dared not open a door or window to give succour, and who expected momentarily to share the same fate—formed a scene which can hardly be conceived, and still more difficult to be described. Fortunately for the inhabitants of the Town, and indeed the whole Colony, the force of the wind and rain abated about three o'clock in the morning, and near the same time the water began to fall; if it had continued another hour, there is not a doubt but the town would have been totally destroyed.
The spectacle which presented itself on the return of day light was HORRID beyond description, heaps of mud and sand, (in some places five or six feet deep), through all parts of the Town—the form of a street hardly to be discerned—two large streams, or rather torrents running through the midst of the Town—ruins of houses blown down, and others brought down by the flood, obstructed every passage—the bodies of several of the unfortunate victims of this event drawn out from the ruins, and lying in the streets—while numbers almost distracted, were searching for some near relation or friend, who had perished in the storm—the lamentations of those who had lost some of their nearest and dearest connections—joined to, the despair of those who had lost their little all, formed altogether a scene fit to draw tears from the eyes of the most unfeeling.
From the most authentic accounts which can have been gathered during the confusion occasioned by this fatal occurrence, there has been ascertained to have perished in the town of Roseau and its vicinity, 8 White Persons of different sexes and ages, 57 free persons of colour, and 66 slaves, forming a total of 131—besides numbers of others yet missing and several wounded.
On Morne Bruce where that part of the garrison stationed at Roseau is quartered, the whole of the Barracks were blown down except one, three men and one woman killed, and one man wounded.
The Planters have equally suffered with the inhabitants of the town, every plantation on the windward coast of the island from the river Uaba-
rie to Morne Paix Bouche are almost entirely destroyed, only three mills standing in the whole extent, and these considerably damaged: no other building left on either Sugar or Coffee estate, and the numerous inhabitants of that quarter, have only for shelter, four houses situated at some distance from the sea, to which most of the white inhabitants have retired; on the different estates on that coast as far as accounts have reached town there have perished about 30 negroes, and upwards of 280 dangerously wounded.
Round the coast from the river Tobarie by way of La Soye, the estate which bears the name of that river, is perhaps the only one that has not received any considerable damage.
All the plantations to leeward of the island have experienced the effects of the Hurricane; every house from the river Mahaut, down to Prince Rupert's, either laid flat, or greatly damaged:—the town of Portsmouth entirely destroyed, the greatest part of the barracks on Morne Cabrit carried away, and in general, the whole island offers a scene of devastation and ruin.
We learn that Martinique has but slightly suffered.—Grand Terc in Guadalupe the same; Marie Galante, and the Saints, have received some considerable damage, but that the other islands have entirely escaped, though the whole weight of this misfortune seem to have fallen on our unfortunate island; we cannot help thinking it subject of rejoicing that the other colonies have been fortunate enough to escape this calamity, as thus we have a resource open against the Horror of a famine, which without we should receive speedy supplies, would have been inevitable, the resources of the island being entirely destroyed in Provisions of its own production, and the greatest part of those in town destroyed or damaged.
The insatiable thirst of domination of Napoleon, would suck in every part of the earth by detail into that vortex of despotism which he has erected in France. No trick, no crime, no outrage is deemed unworthy of being employed by him, provided he can make it subservient to his ultimate views, and use it to cheat, to terrify, or to destroy. The protraction of the British Ambassador's stay at Paris, and the negotiation carried on there turns out, as we were sure it would, to be nothing more than a trap. And the indignation of Russia raised to a greater height by the deception practised on his Ambassador, will fall with ten-fold weight. Unquestionably the northern powers of Europe must see that they have no chance of exemption from the hideous ruin which Buonaparte is preparing for the world, and has already heaped upon so many once independent nations, but a firm compact among themselves to resist effectually his power; or to fall, and obtain a glorious monument, under the ruins of the civilized world.
The king of Prussia, who if he alone were concerned, deserves all that the master-tyrant of the earth could inflict upon him, will probably draw safety from the very despair to which his own infamous conduct has reduced him, and draw forth his well disciplined legions. Meanwhile Great Britain has an immense disposable force ready for offensive operations by land, while her fleet scours (not New York) but the coasts of Europe. And with these will be able to make a formidable diversion in Portugal, Spain and Italy: while rising in all their collected might, the northern nations will be able to present a front which may deter Napoleon from the prosecution of his dark and abominable designs; or perhaps do more. This we heartily wish for the sake of Europe, and the world at large. But as Americans, we should feel from it a dawn of hope and hail with transport the new gleam of light breaking up from it on this side of the Atlantic. It would at least procrastinate, and though it would not perhaps prevent the projected attack of Spain upon our territory, it might lower the tone of Yruyo. And should the President act with vigour, dignity and spirit, which we rather wish than think likely, the Don might yet be brought to terms honourable to this country, though not of perfect security or very long duration. This would be the time for decisive measures, should such a combination really have taken place. Mr. Jefferson may then undismayed, hold a bold language—while the agents of France would perhaps allow us a respite from our fears of being carried off in cargoes, by the two or three thousand French scourers.
While we earnestly pray for the emancipation of the human race from this worst slavery that ever befel it, we cannot but lament that that event will probably be attended with greater bloodshed, than has ever happened since the invention of gunpowder, and the improvements in science have deprived war of its worst barbarities—should a northern coalition make head, the contest will be long, desperate, and bloody. But for the preservation of one's country, liberty and independence, what sacrifice can be too great.

LEXINGTON, (K.) October
We give the following extract, without vouching for its correctness, or believing it ourselves:
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Nicholas county, dated 21st September.
"Col. Burr has engaged every ship-wright at Marietta, at double tides and high wages, to build 15 gun-boats, to row 32 oars—and a schooner of 120 tons, to draw only five and a half feet water, for an expedition to ——— where, is the question."
We invite the attention of our readers to the letter addressed by Marshal Augereau, the French commander at Frankfort, to the magistrates of that once free and independent city—from that letter Americans may learn what awaits them if the invitation, held out by certain renegades in our commercial capitals to a French invasion, should be realised.—"Two or three thousand French troops would soon scour the streets of New York, and expel the scoundrels who infest it."
[See Cheetham's Paper.] (Pol. Register.)
FRANKFORT, August 23.
There has lately appeared here, in the name of the Magistrates of this city, a proclamation, of which certain passages are considered, by intelligent people, as very extraordinary.
Marshal Augereau, to whom a report thereof had been made, addressed the following letter to the Burgomasters and Magistrates of Frankfort.
"Gentlemen,
"Being desirous to alleviate as much as possible, the burthens imposed on you by the circumstances
of the war, you have seen me on every occasion contributing with you, to the public tranquility, and the comfort of your fellow citizens. Consulted by you on the general measures interesting to your city, I have taken pleasures in those which were best adapted to your immediate convenience.
On the arrival of the French Commissary-General, charged to prepare the reünion of the city of Frankfort, and its territory, to his electoral highness the Prince Primat (conformably to the treaty of confederation of the 12th of July last) several members composing your government, announced to me their intention of proclaiming the new order of things—the time was not yet arrived—I dissuaded them from so doing—and they appeared to appreciate my motives.
What has been my surprize, when at Aschaffenburg, where I had gone to pay my respects to the prince Primat, a courier, dispatched from head-quarters by the commandant brought to me a journal containing the translation of a proclamation, which you had profusely distributed during my absence !
I have perused it with pain, gentlemen, it is unjust towards the French government, which, in the changes of Germany, has treated you in the most favourable and distinguished manner; and which you ought to have duly estimated, and impressed on your constituents—On the contrary, you seem to have wished to excite their discontent.
More enlightened on their true interests, a great majority of the inhabitants of Frankfort applaud the change which is prepared for them— The privileged classes being abolished, they all become citizens, and equal in the eye of the law, and they will alike participate in the favour of a paternal government.
My connections with you, gentlemen, hitherto have been agreeable—but, by your late conduct, they must cease to be so.
The reproaches which I now address to you, are the more painful to my feelings, as they must be of equal publicity with your act which has occasioned them, that act is moreover the error of certain individuals only—I know positively that several among you have had no part in it—and, as they ought not to be confounded with its authors, I summon you to declare, within twenty-four hours, who are the authors of the proclamation which is now circulating."
(Signed)

"Marshal of the Empire commanding the seventh corps of the Grand Army."
From a late London Paper
The late duel between the poet* and the critick is said to have given rise to a warm contest between the plumbers and the paper-makers, as to which shall have the honour of furnishing in future the material by which questions of honour are to be tried in trials of single combat.—Upon the case in question, the plumbers plead not only the ancient usage of duelists, from the earliest annals of annihilation, but allege that the canons of criticism from time immemorial have been always loaded with lead; that the works of many of our poets have been strongly fortified with the same metal; that as much of this ponderous material has been dug, for ages, from the hill of Parnassus as from any mountain in Derbyshire or elsewhere; and that in a critical dispute, bullets of lead ought to have taken the place of paper pellets. The paper-makers insist, that, as both poets and criticks acknowledge they can do nothing without paper, which is frequently the most valuable ingredient amongst the raw materials of their works, so it was the fittest for ammunition in their duels. They add, that in the practice of those high courts of honour, the box-lobbies, the exchange of paper cards, inscribed only with the addresses of the antagonists, in case of insult, have been long considered tantamount to cracking flints in Hyde Park, or exchanging shots from the best point-blankers of Wogden or Mortimer. They further urge, that as paper has long passed for gold in every other species of commerce, they cannot see why it should not be equally good for lead in bargains of honour. Besides, they very properly suggest that men of high honour and impetuous spirit may by this means survive a score of duels with paper pellets, like Leakee's pills, "without hindrance of business," and may smell powder, and save their honours just as well, when the smoke is over, as if they had fought with coronades and grape-shot.—We have heard of "great events from little causes;" and it seems highly probable that the names of the poet and critick, who have thus rendered duelling safe, will go down to futurity in the archives of Chivalry.

To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.
Sir,
Though I am conscious how little the affair in which I have been lately engaged can merit a moment's attention from the publick, yet as some pains have been taken to misrepresent the motives and the manner of it, I hope I shall be forgiven for addressing a few words to you on the subject. In the first place the quarrel is not to be considered as literary . Though by no means indifferent to the decrees of criticism, I am aware that they are not to be reversed by an appeal to the pistol. The Review, however, which Mr. Jeffery had written, appeared to me to contain more personality than criticism; to impute to me motives for publication which my heart disclaims and detests, and to assail me altogether much more as a man than as a writer. Conceiving, therefore, that in the present state of manners, no gentleman can hold such language towards another with impunity, I returned a contradiction to the assertions of Mr. Jeffery, in terms too plain to be for a moment misunderstood, and the meeting of which the publick has heard was the consequence. With respect to the ridiculous story about the loading of the pistols, I shall only say in addition to the declaration of our seconds, who are men not likely to prefer the safety of a friend to his honour, that any person who takes the trouble of inquiring at Bow-street will learn that the pistol which the officer took from me was found, upon examination to be regularly loaded; though, from some accident in the carriage of the pistols to town, that of Mr. Jeffery's was certainly without a ball, and that the discovery of this circumstance was made a ground for detaining my pistols a day or two after the magistrate had consented to restore them.
I am, Sir, yours, &c. &c.

Bury-street, St. James's, August 16, 1806.

ACCOUNT Of Dr. Gall's Doctrine of the Brain, or Craniology.
[Concluded from our last.]
In Gerish, a melancholy person, the organs of religious fanaticism and representation were strongly marked. He was known in the whole house as a fanatic. He related to us that spirits often visited him, and told him stories of an extraordinary nature.
We next visited the rooms where disorderly and lunatic females were confined. In a quarrelsome woman Dr. G. observed that the organ of fighting and that of vanity were particularly disclosed.
The following morning several persons, whom Dr. Gall had reserved for a more minute investigation, were brought before him in the committee room, one after the other, that he might have full scope to exercise his organoscopy, not being interrupted by a crowd of spectators.
Elizabeth Wedekind appears, who is confined on suspicion of murder till she can prove her innocence. The chaplain observes, in his list of prisoners, that she possesses the art of covering herself with the cloak of piety and devotion.
A woman of the name of Weber, being in the greatest despair, as a reception was refused to her everywhere, threw her child, four years of age, into the water, and, without being moved by its pitiful cries, she left it to be drowned.
At the hind part of her head, which is very flat, the organ of love for her children is not observable; but the want of it is not so great as she saw it in three female convicts, who were guilty of having murdered their children, and whom he had an opportunity of examining very closely at Vienna, Span-dau, and Leizig.
Three noted thieves appeared. One of them, of the name of Weber, was examined first. Two of his organs are conspicuous in an extraordinary manner, that of thieving with an uncommon cunning, and that of representation.
same time it was said of him, that he could deliver any sermon he had heard, and imitate exactly the voice, gesticulation, and declamation, of the preacher.
Dr. Gall spoke of M**r, a journeyman bricklayer, in the following manner: "His organ for thieving is very visible: he has likewise the organ of representation; but his organs for haughtiness and obstinacy, and that for musick, are still more conspicuous."
In M. Dr. Gall found the decided organ of thieving, and a great carelessness, the organ of reflection not being formed at all. We were much surprised to be told that this man, in whom Dr. G. had not discovered the organ of representation, possessed extraordinary abilities in imitating the voice of animals;
Two other thieves were examined, and in both of them the organs of thieving and that of cunning were remarkable. Of one of them he expressed himself thus: "To judge by the flatness of the forehead of this man, he is a mercenary, and easily to be seduced, and his organ for musick is eminent."
Two others were brought before him. Of one of them he said, "the organ of good nature is not visible in him; but his organ of lust is strong, and contributes to the disclosure of the organ of thieving."
Among many others who were produced, the organ of representation was particularly disclosed in a shoe-maker. The account he gave of himself, and his gesticulations, attracted the attention of the whole company.
A watchmaker gave Dr. Gall an opportunity to make some observations on the organ of poetry, which he discovered in him, and which he considers as the continuation of that of musick, in an oblique direction in the corners of the forehead.
A man of the name of Kehler was confined in the house of correction on account of some threatened speeches to a person who was afterwards found murdered.
He observed in an other person, that the fore and hind part of the skull were highly arched. Dr. G. had formerly the opportunity of meeting with skulls of the same construction in generals who had been advanced from private soldiers to their high rank by merit and heroic actions.
A taylor from Dresden, a cunning thief, who had once effected his escape from the House of correction, was the last who was introduced to Dr. G. for examination.
Dr. Gall, before his departure, visited the male idiots and melancholy persons, in the left wing of the building. He met there with various matter for judicious observation.
Some one proud fools distinguished themselves, particularly one, for instance, who fancies himself elector of Saxony, and another pretends that the cities of Amsterdam and Hamburg are to honour his drafts.
Dr. Gall gave likewise some hints how to treat fanatics, by using topical remedies and poultices if the distemper should not be inveterate.
LONDON, September 8. GENERAL ORDERS. Head-Quarters, on the Plains of Maida, 6th July, 1806. PAROLE—MESSINA.
Major-general Sir John Stuart finds himself incapable of expressing to the troops the sentiments excited in him, by their brave and intrepid conduct in the late action of the 4th, in which they gained a signal triumph over a boasting and insolent enemy.
of their approving sovereign, and another immortal wreath to the laurels of the British army.
The Light Brigade under Colonel Kempt, who led the attack, and who charged and broke the enemy's favourite First Light Corps, displayed a combined instance of gallantry and discipline, of which military records have furnished but few examples.
The 78th and 81st Regiments, which formed the Brigade of General Auckland, shared the first and severest part of the action with the Light Infantry, whom they were ordered to support; and the gallantry and good conduct of the Brigadier-General, in fulfilling this duty, were most nobly seconded by the brave regiments under his orders.
The Battalion of Grenadiers, and the 27th Regiment, under the orders of Brigadier-Gen. Cole, made a firm and intrepid resistance against a superior force; and the manoeuvre of the 27th Regiment, in throwing back a wing to receive the enemy's cavalry, was the strongest token of the excellent discipline of that corps.
The 58th and Watteville's Regiments, which formed the Brigade under the orders of Colonel Osward, and which he brought up as a second line, sustained the advanced columns with the greatest spirit and intrepidity.
The conduct of Lieut. Colonel Ross, in throwing the 20th Regiment into the wood, on the enemy's flank, while the latter were attempting to turn our left, was a prompt display of gallantry and judgment, to which the army was most critically indebted.
The Artillery was well provided, and most effectually served under the directions of Major Lamoine, the Commandant of that Corps. From the various public departments of the army, and especially from Lieut. Colonel Bunbury, the Deputy Quarter-Master General, Sir John Stuart has to acknowledge the most marked and able assistance, not only during the continuance of the action itself, but in all the arrangements preparatory to its commencement.
No language that the Major General could adopt, could bear any proportion to the feeling with which he recurs to all the circumstances of this great—this signal day. To offer the expression of his own humble thanks, on so memorable an occasion, would be presumptuous.
The army will receive the only acknowledgements adequate to their deeds, in the approbation of their sovereign and their Country; and every soldier whom the General now has the honour of addressing, will have an equal right with himself to make the boast hereafter, that he bore a part in the glorious battle of Maida.
(Signed) R. TOMLIN, ad. gen.
When the British troops were crossing the plain of Maida to attack the French—General Regnier, whose commanding situation enabled him to count every file of our troops, he addressed his army, it is said, in these words—"You see the British crossing the plain; we must drive those fish into their own element; but we must first chastise them severely for daring to presume to encroach upon that element where we are always victorious, and always their masters."

WHO HAS FOR SALE,
That pleasant place BELL VIEW.
It contains TWO HUNDRED Acres, lying on the lower end of Barrett's Neck, Nansemond county, between Nansemond River and Chuckatuck Creek, fronting Newport-News, Hampton Roads, and is about 14 miles from Norfolk by water. There is on the land two good Dwelling Houses, one of them a two story frame house, 30 feet square, with a Kitchen, Wath House, Smoke House and Dairy, a large new Barn and Stable, and a Carriage House, a Spring House, and a never failing Spring. The other a new Dwelling House, a Kitchen, Quarter, &c. with a large Garden newly built of the best materials, and a good Stable.

The price will hardly exceed the worth of the buildings on the place if applied for soon. The payment will be expected in cash, as the terms will be remarkably low. tf

PROPOSALS
From the PHOENIX COMPANY, OF LONDON, For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandize, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
INSURANCE from loss or damage by Fire, hath been found a measure of great importance to the happiness of families, and has given additional security to commercial transactions. The distinguished approbation with which the publick throughout Great-Britain received the improved system of this Office, occasioned frequent application for the Insurance of Property in the principal cities and towns of Europe and America, and induced the Company, many years since, to extend their plan to the Western Continent. The Phoenix Company can refer to the unerring test of experience to ascertain their character; and, gratified by the unbounded confidence they have obtained upon the continent of America, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants the means of effecting insurance on their property, the Directors have lately determined to extend the sum which they have been accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have arranged Rates of Premium upon the various descriptions of property, which they trust, will be found moderate, just and equitable. The promptitude with which this office has adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solvency of the funds, are so well known, that it is unnecessary to offer more on the subject, than to refer those who desire information, to the merchants of London, with whom they correspond.
** In this office no injured person is able to any call to make good the losses of others; but in case of Fire, the sufferer will be indemnified by the company. The company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Rates of Annual Premiums to be paid for Assurances against Fire.
No. I. Hazards of the First Class, viz. Brick or Stone Buildings, covered with tile, slate, or metal. Furniture or Merchandize, not hazardous contained in such buildings. For sums not exceeding 10,000 Dollars in one Risk, 37 1-2 Cents per annum, per 100 Dollars.
No. II. Hazards of the Second Class, viz. Buildings having the Four Walls entirely of Brick or Stone, carried through the roof and covered with boards or shingles. Furniture or Merchandize, not hazardous, contained in such buildings. Hazardous Goods, viz. Pitch, Tar, Turpentine, Salt-petre, Flax, Hemp, Oils, and Tallow, in buildings of the first class. For sums not exceeding 10,000 Dollars in one Risk, 56 1-4 Cents per annum per 100 Dollars.
No. III. Hazards of the Third Class, viz. Buildings constructed partly with brick or stone, and partly with wood, or having either of the four walls of frame work, filled in with brick. Furniture or Merchandize not hazardous, contained in such buildings. Hazardous goods, viz. Pitch, Tar, Turpentine, Salt-petre, Flax, Hemp, Oils and Tallow, in buildings of the second class. For sums not exceeding 10,000 Dollars in one Risk, 75 Cents per annum per 100 Dollars.
No. IV. Hazards of the Fourth Class, viz. Timber or slight Buildings covered with shingles or boards. Furniture or Merchandize not hazardous, contained in such Buildings. Hazardous Goods, viz. Pitch, Tar, Turpentine, Salt-Petre, Flax, Hemp, Oils, and Tallow, in Buildings of the third class. For sums not exceeding 10,000 Dollars in one Risk, 100 to 150 Cents per annum, per 100 Dollars.
** Ships in port and their Cargoes, Ships Building or Repairing; also, Barges and other Small Craft, with Goods on board, may be insured against Fire. †† Larger Sums may be insured by special agreement. All buildings in contiguity to other hazardous buildings, or in other respects situated disadvantageously, will be charged at an extra premium. The rate may also in some cases be proportionally moderated upon Timber Buildings in the country, or when standing single and detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security.
†‡ Tallow-Melters, Soap-Makers, Brewers, Vinegar, and Sweet Makers, Hemp and Flax Dressers, Printing-Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet-Makers, Coach-Makers, Malt-Houses, Bakers, Ship-Chandlers, Boat-Builders, Rope-Makers, Sugar-Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish-Makers, Turpentine-Works, Theatres, and all Mills and Machinery, are deemed extra-hazardous, and the rate upon such risks will be proportionally increased.
CONDITIONS OF INSURANCE.
I. Persons desirous to make Insurance on Buildings, are to deliver in to the agent the following particulars, viz.—Of what materials the walls and roof of each building are constructed, as well as the construction of the buildings contiguous thereto—whether the same are occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise—where situated—also, the name or names of the present occupiers.
Each building must be separately valued, and a specified sum insured thereon—and in like manner a separate sum insured on the property contained therein.
*All Manufactories which contain Furnaces, Kilns, Stoves, Cokels, Ovens, or otherwise use Fire-Heat, are chargeable at additional rates.
In the Insurance of Goods, Wares, or Merchandize, the building or place in which the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kinds denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause the same to be described in the Policy otherwise than as they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed, such Insurance shall be of no force.
II. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be insured as such, otherwise the Policy will not extend to cover such property.

The Drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number is sold to authorise it. The Managers have given bond to the state in the penalty of sixty thousand dollars for the faithful payment of the prizes, which will be paid, subject to a deduction of FIFTEEN PER CENT, thirty days after the drawing is finished.—Prizes not demanded within a Twelve-month from the completion of the drawing, will be considered as a donation to the College.

The superiority of this Scheme to the one first proposed, is so obvious, that little need be said in recommendation of it. Those inclined to adventure, will see that their chance for obtaining prizes is greatly increased; that pending the drawing, their small prizes may be immediately invested in other tickets, thereby giving them a chance for prizes of considerable magnitude. To those who have drawn prizes of 15 dolls. in the First Class, as well as to those who have drawn blanks, information is now given, that the prizes may at their own option be renewed by tickets in this Class, and their blanks also, but upon the payment in the latter case of 10 dollars with each blank, provided such prizes and blanks, with the cash, be remitted free of postage, to Robt. Greenhow, merchant, in Williamsburg, agent and treasurer, or to William Newsum, Post-Master, in Norfolk, previous to the commencement of the drawing, after which period no renewal will be made. When to the prospect of individual advantage that may result to each adventurer, is added the patriotic reasons which induced the legislature to authorise this Lottery, it is ardently hoped that the disposition of tickets, will soon enable the commissioners to certify, that the drawing has commenced; which event, the agent assures the public, shall be expedited by every means in his power.
