ROBERTSON'S Celebrated Stomachick Elixir of Health, Which has proved by experience, to be the most valuable medicine, ever yet offered to the publick for curing the Gout, Cramp, and wind in the Stomach; also a certain cure for the Dysentery, or Bloody Flux, Cholera Morbus, severe Gripings, and all other diseases of the bowels, a dose never fails to remove a cold if taken soon after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, sicknels at the Stomach, severe head ache, &c. &c. The following certificates are selected from the many respectable ones lately received by the proprietor, and are now in his possession. Certificate of Mr. William Julion, carpenter and builder, No. 69, South Fifth-Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—My wishes to promote the interest of superior merit, and to afford consolation to the afflicted, induces me to request you will lay my case before the publick, as an incontrovertible proof of the astonishing efficacy of Dr. Robertson's invaluable Stomachick Elixir of Health. I do hereby certify, that I was seized most violently with the dysentery, or bloody flux, which reduced me so much that I was confined to my bed, and became so weak that I could not move without assistance. My situation at that time became so seriously alarming, as no relief could be obtained. I was given over, and even death would have been desirable to me, had not a friend of mine, who by chance called to see me, who had just recovered from a similar complaint, though not so severe as mine. He informed me that he was cured by taking Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and advised me to send to you for a bottle. I immediately did so, and by following your instructions given with the bottle, before I had taken half a bottle, I found myself much relieved, and my disorder greatly abated, and by continuing to take it, in one week I was able to walk out, and in less than a fortnight was able to attend to my business. I therefore recommend every family to be provided with this invaluable medicine, particularly those who live at a distance in the country, where assistance cannot be immediately obtained. As I am convinced that Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, is the most effectual remedy in the world, I have since recommended it to several of my friends in similar complaints, who have always been relieved immediately after taking it. Should any person with to be more fully convinced of my case, I will with pleasure explain it to them by applying to me. I am with a due sense of the benefit I have received thro' the efficacy of your medicine, Sir, your humble servant, WM JULION.
Mr. Drott, Philadelphia, July 15th, 1807. Certificate of Mr. George Stokes, South Water Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—For the benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you that Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, has been to me, one of the most effectual service. I had been a long time afflicted with a pain in my Stomach, and continual head ache, attended with a sicknels at the Stomach, which brought on a vomiting and lax, which continued on me until I became in a very weak state, without being able to get any relief, until I tried one bottle of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which entirely cured my disorder, except a weaknels and want of appetite, for which I have since taken Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Wine Bitters, which quite restored my strength and appetite, and I now enjoy better health than I experienced for many months before. As I consider your medicine to have been the means of saving my life, I solicit you to publish my case for the benefit of others, who by abiding by the directions given with your invaluable medicine, will embrace the same means by which I have happily effected my recovery. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE STOKES.
Mr. Drott, Philadelphia, August 1, 1807. ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. Of Mr. John T. Solomon, Sixth near Race-Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—For the good of the publick and benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you, that having laboured for upwards of six months, under a very bad cough, attended with a difficulty of breathing, pains in my breast and side, and a sicknels at my Stomach; having lost all appetite, I became so very much reduced in my strength as to be unable to walk. I was considered in a consumption, and given up for a lost man. In this hopeless situation I had recourse to Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and given up all nourishment, before I had taken one bottle, found myself very much relieved. I expected a great quantity of phlegm, which has eased me of one of the most tedious coughs that ever man had; I have taken it regularly ever since, and now find myself completely recovered, and shall certainly, for the benefit received, recommend it as far as I can, believing it to be a most effectual medicine in the above complaint. I am, Sir, with great respect, Your obliged humble servant, JOHN T. SOLOMON.
Mr. T. W. Drott, August 22. Certificate of Mr. John Lee, Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR—By the administration of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, and that the publick may be acquainted with the good effect I have received from it, I will give you the following: About a fortnight ago I was seized with the influenza, or a violent cold attended with a pain in my limbs, and a violent cough, which settled on my lungs, and having been for some time before in a weakly state, I expected a consumption must soon have followed. Had I not been advised by Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which I immediately removed my complaint, and I now feel better health than I have had some time before. It is impossible to say too much in favour of this invaluable medicine, as I am clearly convinced it is the most effectual remedy ever offered to the publick, in the above complaint. I am, Sir, your obliged servant, JOHN LEE. Mr. Drott. November 11. The above Medicine is sold wholesale and retail by the proprietor, T. W. DROTT, No. 11, Ninth-Street, Philadelphia; and by appointment as BONSAI & CONRAD'S Book Store, Norfolk, and ABRAHAM VILL & CONRAD'S , Petersburg. May 22.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER. WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1809.
We are happy to observe that a resolution is before the House of Representatives, directing the secretary of the navy to lay before congress a statement of the number of gun-boats which has been built, and the expenses of equipping and maintaining them. To every man of common sense, this miserable system was the object of derision, when the enormous waste of publick money was not recollected. We some time since hazarded an opinion that four millions of dollars had been wasted on the gun-boats, but we believe this large amount will fall much short of the sum actually expended. Such was the sycophancy of the partizans of the late administration, that every attempt to shew the expense, and to prove the inutility of those presidential hobbies, (for we have good reason to say, that they were his exclusively) was ascribed to federal or opposition clamour. The people will, however, be now sensible, that the objections so justly made, were well founded. It is a painful circumstance, and very mortifying to the national character to know that the measures of the late administration, were never properly examined, or well understood, until the people were made to feel. It was in vain that enlightened men of both parties, endeavoured to shew the pernicious, and in some instance, ruinous tendency of particular measures. Now we believe that the people will become sensible of the folly of this gun-boat system, when they shall know, as shortly they will, the amount of money which has been expended upon them.
The following remarks will shew the ground upon which the British government rejected the proposal of Mr. Pinkney, and the reasons which produced a change in the measures of that government, a change which we trust will lead to an adjustment of all matters in dispute.
Great-Britain and America. —The following is the reply of Mr. Secretary Canning to Mr. Whitebread's question why America was not mentioned in his Majesty's speech. It will tend to shew the reasons why the orders of council were refused to be rescinded, on the first application of Mr. Pinkney. "Mr. Canning, could tell the right honourable gentleman, that the ground of that omission was, that no change had taken place in the relative situation of the two states since the last session of parliament, and he always understood that unless some change of relation should have taken place it was not the practise to make particular mention of any state in the speech at the opening of the session. But he had no objection to give the right honourable gentleman every information in his power relative to that question. The right honourable gentleman had made it matter of charge, at least so far as he felt himself informed upon the subject, that the late offer of compromise from the American government had not been acceded to. Yet the right honourable gentleman seemed to state the case much more ingeniously for America, than the government of the United States did, having stated it as between America and this country, whereas he should have stated it as between the neutral and the belligerents. If the case were to be considered as between the government of this country and America, then the difficulty was an inheritance left to the present Ministers, for the complaints of America were derived from the acts of the late as well as of the present ministers; and he wished gentlemen not to suppose that the orders of council, issued by the present administration, had been the cause of the embargo. It had been so argued systematically last session, but it was now a notorious fact, that no such ground had been laid for the embargo. At the time the application for a compromise had been made by the American government, there was an order in force excluding British ships of war from the American ports whilst French ships of war were admitted into them; and consequently if the offer by America had been accepted, our commerce would have been permitted to America without a ship of war to protect it, whilst the French commerce would have been excluded at the same time that French ships of war would have been admitted if they could succeed in getting there. The ports of America would become nests for French privateers against British commerce." "He deprecated as much as any man the promotion of a hostile spirit against America; but maintained that her neutrality had not been strictly impartial and that in the course of her discussions with this country her government appeared to lean to the side of France in considering the question, which of the two belligerents had been the aggressor? He was however, happy to see, from a late report of a committee of the American legislature, upon the subject of the embargo, that it was proposed to act more impartially towards this country than the enemy, by excluding the armed vessels of both from the ports of the United States. This conclusion had, heretofore, since the affair of the Chesapeake been confined to this country. But the proposed extension of the interdict, which he understood was likely to be adopted, might tend to facilitate the adjustment of the points in discussion between this country and America."
SPANISH DECREES. From the Philadelphia Gazette. [The following interesting official document (which we have had translated from the Spanish) was forwarded to our government by the Chevalier Fonda, in the former part of last month.] (COPY.) Dear Sir, The Supreme government Junta of Spain and Indies has perused the contents of your estimable notes under date of the 14th ult. and 1st inst. relative to the detention of some American vessels at Algeciras, which detention you say, proceeds from the royal decree of the 3d January, which Don Charles the 4th thought proper to adopt in Spain, being the decree of the French emperor issued on the 17th November of the preceding year. The Supreme Junta knows that from the moment Don Ferdinand the 7th began to reign, he manifested his desire to maintain with the United States the most sincere relation of friendship; in consequence of which we consider it our duty to comply with his royal wish—with these motives, the Supreme Junta wishes to give proofs of generosity and friendship towards the United States, and has thought proper to ordain that all American vessels which in consequence of the royal decree of the 3d of January, of the present year were conducted to Spanish ports by vessels of the royal navy or detained in said ports in consequence of said decree by the authority of the governor of the Spanish ports, without having been captured at sea, may be put immediately at liberty, that they may proceed on their voyages, and dispose of their cargoes as may be convenient to them, as his majesty gladly renounces the right he might have, proceeding from the result of existing processes, that capture or detention of American vessels, taking place in consequence of said decree, after the beginning of May, by king's vessels or privateers, shall be considered as null, and of no weight; as at that period, the French emperor, by his ignominious proceedings against the king, and Spanish independence broke scandalously and forever, the treaty of alliance which existed between Spain and France, for which reason every thing proceeding from it should cease; of which the decree of the 3d of January was one which ought to be considered entirely abolished.
As far as what relates to those vessels detained by privateers since the exposition of said decree to the month of May, the Supreme Junta would be pleased to ordain immediately their release without further investigation, but in consideration of the claims laid by some of his majesty's subjects and the losses they may sustain by such an act, it is considered proper to suspend said resolution, until a proper investigation of circumstances may have been taken place. On the other hand, among the vessels which you say are detained at Algeciras, there may be some, whose detention does not proceed from the royal decree, but that of navigation without the proper requisites expressed in the 17th article of the treaty, which point must indispensably be examined previous to their being released; not doing so, the supreme junta would act contrary to the rights which his majesty's subjects may have when the object of the establishment is to preserve and maintain them in integrity. For the liberation of those vessels which in conformity to this royal determination are to be freed, and for the examination of the motives of detention of those remaining, I expedite under this date the correspondent order to the minister of the navy department, and I profit this opportunity of reiterating the demonstration of my distinguished consideration, and of my wishes that God may preserve you many years. Aranjuez, 7th November, 1808. (Signed) PEDRO CEVALLOS. To George Erving, Esq.
PHILADELPHIA, May 23. Latest from China. By the Projector, arrived at New-York from Canton, we learn that an expedition fitted out at Bengal and Penang, under the direction of admiral Drury, for the purpose of taking possession of Moccoa, arrived in Moccoa Roads on the 11th September last—Immediately after his arrival, the admiral demanded of the Portuguese government a surrender of the place, which was peremptorily refused him, and nothing further respecting it, till negotiations took place till the 20th, when about 300 soldiers, with 2 or 3 pieces of artillery, were landed and put in possession of one of the forts. The Chinese now interfered and ordered admiral Drury to leave the place alleging that he had made an encroachment upon the territory of the empire which could not be submitted to. He persisted in keeping his troops on shore, and declared his determination to hold the town at all hazards. In consequence, the vice-roy of the province issued an order on the 25th of September, forbidding the landing of any cargoes from, and sending any on board the English ships, of which there were between forty and fifty lying at Whampoa. An entire suspension of trade ensued, and continued three months, during which time the admiral visited Canton, attended by all the boats, and about two thousand men from the ships. The object of this visit was to obtain an interview with the vice-roy, who haughtily refused to admit him into his presence, and treated him with contempt. On the 19th November, admiral Drury ordered all the English subjects to quit Canton in three days, and repair on board the ships of their nation at Whampoa. Ten days after, he attempted another visit to Canton with the launches and other boats of the fleet strongly armed, but was driven back by the Chinese, who had stationed some men of war junks five or six miles below the city, where the boats were fired at and stopped. From this till the 20th of December, all communication between Canton and the ships at Whampoa, and all supplies of provisions were strictly forbidden, and no Englishman was suffered to remain in Canton, or return to that city. One gentleman in attempting to get in there by stealth, was discovered, carried into the city, and there kept in confinement during the continuance of the difficulties. Finding that his expedients to induce the Chinese to connive at or consent to his holding Moccoa, were ineffectual, the admiral abandoned the enterprise, withdrew his troops, and left Moccoa for Bengal about the first day of January last. As this was a compliance with the conditions required by the Chinese, the trade with the English was renewed.
[Mer. Adv.] LONDON, April 4. The nephew of the Marquis de la Romana, commands a small detachment of light troops, consisting of 200 men, with which he has in a great variety of skirmishes, much harassed the enemy. In one of these he had the good fortune, among others, to make the French general Moncet prisoner. Gen. Bonnet commands the French army, which is extended over the plains of Leon, North of the Douro. This general dispatched an officer to the provincial commander, of Asturias, who being blindfolded and conducted to head-quarters, stated, that he was ordered to represent to the general of those districts that all the rest of Spain, was under the power of his Imperial master; that both prudence and humanity would dictate to the Spaniards the propriety of laying down their arms; and that to make the necessary arrangement for such a purpose, gen. Bonnet solicited a friendly interview with the officer in command on the frontier. The Spaniard replied, that on amicable terms he would never meet a Frenchman; but that he was ready to accede to his request of an interview, when in single combat they might decide their own fate, if not that of their country. Colonels Carrol and Leroy attended the French messenger on his return with this challenge, which general Bonnet declined to accept, but not without some supercilious remarks on the youth and inexperience of his antagonist. Another rumour received from Holland is that Russia has made peace with the Porte. Germany.—The preparations at Vienna, for the defence of the country, were, on the 15th and 18th March, carrying on in that capital with the utmost activity. The Vienna militia had opened a recruiting service, and another was talked of, the object of which was said to be, to keep up the regiments of the line to their full complement. A number of troops have been sent off to the frontiers, and we are assured that the emperor and all the archdukes, will take the field. Accounts have been received at Vienna from Serbia, according to which an army of 15,000 insurgents, and another of the same force, formed by the inhabitants of the country, had been assembled to reinforce the Russian regiments now in Wallachia, among which troops considerable movements are observed, and military preparations. On the arrival of the above mentioned corps, the Russian army will leave the Turkish provinces, and draw towards Poland and Prussia. [Def. Courant 30th March.] Last night a letter was received from Holland, dated on Saturday, stating that hostilities had actually commenced; that the archduke Charles had

made an irruption in Saxony, and that an action had taken place in the Tyrol, in which the French were defeated with the loss of 5000 men. That hostilities have ere this commenced we have every reason to believe; but we should not have expected that the first blow would have been struck where the letter from Holland states it has been. We know that there was an Austrian encampment at Egra, and the evident object of it was to overawe Saxony and to prevent her from furnishing her contingent to France. But the archduke Charles, was not, it is supposed, to take the command of the troops in that quarter; he was to command the army assembled on the Inn. We did not know that there were any French troops in the Tyrol. A second rumour said to have been brought from Holland by an English gentleman escaped from Verdun, mentions the action in the Tyrol to have taken place on the 11th, and adds that another action took place in Germany on the 15th—Success, was in each, on the side of the Austrians. The Dutch papers received yesterday furnished us with an article from Frankfort, of so late a date as the 22d, which mentioned nothing of any action having yet been fought. But a third rumour states that a Dutch paper of the 1st instant, reached town yesterday, containing the translation of an article from the Moniteur, which consists of some violent declarations against the political conduct of Austria, and terminates with a phrase to the following effect:—“At the moment we were writing the above observations, we received intelligence that hostilities had commenced between the advanced posts.” It is added that the Dutch paper also states the Archduke Charles to have advanced against Saxony, at the head of a great force.
DUTCH DECREE.
From the Royal Courant of the 5th inst.
LOUIS NAPOLEON, by the grace of God, and constitution of the kingdom, King of Holland and Count of France, taking into consideration that the term prescribed by our decree of the 27th November, 1808, No. 5, expires on the 31st inst. Taking further into consideration that it is necessary, at the present period, to take further measures, either for the renewal of the aforesaid decree, or the previous decrees, respecting the means of carrying into execution the prohibition of all commerce with the enemy, or of replacing them, in whole or part, by other measures calculated to place all matters relative to navigation on a footing of complete uniformity with the decree of France and of our brother the emperor; and notwithstanding the difficulties arising from the maritime war; and those which commerce suffers for its own interest, being continually anxious to contribute to that important object, we have decreed and hereby decree:
Art. I. All commerce, correspondence, and communication with England, remains prohibited according to the purport of our previous laws, decrees, and regulations, and particularly such of them as expired on the 31st inst. so far as no alteration is therein made by the present decree.
Art. II. and III. From the first day of the succeeding month of April, the following articles may be exported to and imported from friendly or neutral countries in Dutch vessels, or those sailing under the flag of neutral or allied powers.
Art. IV. The commodities prepared for exportation shall not be put on board until previous notice has been given thereof to the marine director of the ways and means, with a particular specification of such articles which cannot be exported but from the ports of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Groningen, Embden, Harlingen, Vreede, Zierikzee, Detszil, and Brownershaven.
Art. V. In order to the admission of any vessel into the harbours of this kingdom, they must enter in ballast, or be laden with the products of the north, specified in the 8th article, with the exception of such vessels as are laden with salt, or those which in the years 1805 or 1807 obtained our licence to proceed to China for a cargo of tea, upon showing our said authority.
Art. VI. No other goods than those mentioned in the 4th article shall be suffered to be imported under any pretence whatever; all prohibited goods of whatever description, and in whatever quantity, imported, and also the vessels on board of which they be found, being hereby declared liable to confiscation.
Art. VII. In case of suspicions arising respecting the origin of the cargo, from information received by the officers of the marine director, the same shall be provisionally sequestered until proof be given that it has not come from England or her colonies.
Art. VIII. Our consuls in giving certificates of origin for goods shipped at their ports of residence for Dutch ports, shall not confine themselves to certifying that the goods neither come from England nor her colonies, nor belong to English commerce, but they shall further specify the place whence the goods originally came, the documents produced to them in proof of the respective declarations, and the names of the vessels in which they were conveyed from the place of origin to the port where the consuls reside. They are required to transmit a copy of the said declaration to our marine director.
[The other articles relate to the details of the manner in which the above Articles are to be carried into execution, by a marine director and three naval commanders on the coast district.] The decree is dated at Utrecht, March 31.
* The following is a list of goods, which, from the 1st of April 1809, are permitted to be exported and imported to and from allied or neutral states, in Dutch vessels or those of allied or neutral powers, to and from the harbours of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dord, Groningen, Embden, Harlingen, Vreede, Zeirker, Dalszil, & Brownershaven:
Exports. —Books, beans, butter, brandy, bricks, cheese, cambricks, copper manufactured, clocks, clover and garden seeds, eels, flower roots, fruit, geneva, guages, glue, hoops, hides dried, iron manufactured, leather, linen, linseed, madders, millstones, oak bark, ground oats, oils of seeds, pottery, powder blue, peas, paper, perfumery, plants, pipes, playing cards, mills, rushes, silk manufactured, sack, saffron, starch, tins, thread and thread tape, tobacco, tar, turf, vinegar, watches, white lead, wine, wood manufactured.
Imports. —Ashes (pot), candles, copper, corn, fish, oil, isinglass, hare skins, hemp and hemp seed, hides (rough), iron, leather (unmanufactured), lead, linseed, mercury, mats, pitch, Russia skins, rape seed, stock-fish, soda, tar, tallow, tobacco, timber, wax, wool, and wine.
This relaxation of Buonaparte's commercial restriction has excited considerable surprise and speculation. We must first, however, remark, that it affords another proof of the wisdom of that vigorous policy which his majesty's ministers adopted to meet the system, by which Buonaparte slyly attempted to destroy our trade, and to isolate us from all communication with the continent, a system which has involved his own subjects in the greatest distress, and which has been so effectually applied to us, that we believe the exports from this country for the year ending the 5th of this month, exceeded the exports of the preceding year by a million sterling!
Two motives might have led to this sudden and large relaxation of Buonaparte's decrees. Some time ago it was said that the Dutch council had, in application being made to them for fresh aids in the ensuing war, stated their utter inability, in
consequence of the ruined state of their trade—The commerce of France is in an equal state of stagnation and distress, though the senate, more subservient than the Dutch council, would not presume to approach Buonaparte with any representations upon the subject—Germany, Russia, and every part of Europe groan under the same evils, and the accounts we have recently received of the situation of the Continent, exceed almost whatever the imagination can picture to itself of poverty, misery, and distress—That Buonaparte has ever been induced to relax any measure of severity by feelings of humanity, by pity or affection for mankind, it were absurd to suppose—but what he would not refuse to the calls of humanity, he would yield to the dictates of policy. He is on the eve of a new war, a war which no artifices can render popular, which no sophistry can persuade the people to be necessary; a war which following close upon the contest with Spain, and that contest succeeding immediately to the conflict with Russia, must impress the nation with the melancholy conviction that a state of peace and repose enters not into his contemplation, and forms no part of his system. In this situation he may have determined to soothe the public mind by concessions, which may relieve the general distress, and restore to commerce a degree of animation and activity to which it has long been a stranger. A second and perhaps an equally powerful motive may have been to conciliate the Americans. Cut off from all his colonies; in danger of losing Martinique and Guadalupe, and of being expelled entirely from the West Indies, he may feel that he shall stand in greater need of the Americans to furnish him with commodities which he can no longer do without, and to further any views he may have upon the Spanish and Portuguese colonies. The decree is perfectly adapted to please America. The articles which are permitted to be exported, are those which France and Holland have in abundance, and many of which America stands in need of such as pottery, linen, mercury, ironmongery, &c. The articles permitted to be imported are those which America abounds in, such as grain, hemp, and hemp seed, timber, pot ash, tobacco, tar, &c. The decree is also calculated to relieve the commerce of Russia, by the permission it affords to import hides, hemp, tallow and other things.
Such are the motives which appear to us to have operated in producing this decree. It is said that it would enable this country to extend its connection with the continent; but that his majesty's ministers are determined to take measures for preventing such an extension, and that the licenses that have hitherto been granted to carry on an intercourse with the continent, are not to be continued. If such be their intention, it is a very wise one, and indeed we do not see how, with any consistency, they could act otherwise. For however the decree may favour the commerce of neutrals in those articles which neutrals can supply, still it affords no facility to the introduction of the produce of England or her colonies into the ports of the continent. Sugar, coffee, tea, wool, cloth, muslins, hardware, nor any article we can supply is permitted. The plain question then is this, are we to facilitate the trade of neutrals at the expense of our own trade? The answer is obvious.
The question of peace or war has been resolved, and hostilities have commenced. The accounts from Holland state, that the Austrians have made a sudden irruption into the Tyrol, and that on the 17th of last month an action took place, in which the French were defeated.
Troops are pouring into Germany in all directions. Upon the affairs of Spain the Moniteur preserves the profoundest silence.
April 6.
We received this morning Dutch papers to the 5th, containing Paris news to the 30th ultimo. They will disappoint those who expect to find in them intelligence of great importance.
These papers encourage an idea of a congress being about to be held on the banks of the Inn, at which the emperor of Austria and Buonaparte will assist in person. What benefit such a congress is to produce, we know not—Buonaparte would not propose it for any other purpose than to gain time till all his preparations are made and his troops collected and concentrated.
Upon the subject of the Austrian movements the Dutch papers afford that scanty information—They say that there are but few Austrian troops on the Inn and on the Tyrolese frontier, an assertion notoriously unfounded as far as it relates to the Inn—It is there that the main or central army is assembled. A large encampment is said to be intended in the circle of Laybach under the immediate command of Archduke Charles—The Archduke Ferdinand is to command in Galicia—The intelligence we published some days ago of Count Walmoden having been sent to the Russian troops is confirmed, but his mission is said to be to demand the motive of the approach of those troops to the Austrian frontier.—We trust it is for the purpose of providing provisions for that army and that they are destined to co-operate with Austria. Upon the disposition however of Russia, the Dutch and French papers, preserve a profound silence.—Had the emperor Alexander been so determined to act with Buonaparte, whether for peace or for war, the Moniteur would scarcely have remained silent.
April 8.
MASSENA.
The belief that this ferocious ruffian has been killed gains ground: but the manner of his death has been variously stated. One account says, that Buonaparte had had a violent quarrel with him—Massena taking the liberty of making some representations to the Tyrant, which threw the latter into a transport of passion, during the continuance of which he either shot or stabbed Massena. This account, however, is contradicted by another statement which alleges that Massena's death was certainly accidental—that Buonaparte and he were hunting the wild boar in the woods of Fountainbleu, and the boar rushing by, Buonaparte fired at him without perceiving that Massena was between him and the boar. The former received the contents of the piece in his head, and fell dead from his horse. A respectable morning paper gives a different account from the above, and represents that Massena as having lost his sight but to be still living.
April 10.
Some private letters received from Holland, mention a report that the differences between France and Austria were about to be adjusted, upon very humiliating terms to the latter, such as, that the Austrian army was to be reduced, and the French put in possession of Trieste and Fiume. We give no credit whatever to this report; if the emperor of Austria was not determined to meet the conflict, it was worse than folly to make a shew of resistance. We have uniformly stated that Buonaparte would only leave him the choice of open hostility or unconditional submission: the consequences of the former may, of the latter must be, the annihilation of the Austrian empire.
The Dispatch packet, captain Harris, arrived on Friday, at Falmouth, in 18 days from Lisbon, with letters and papers from that city to the 25th last month. The French troops from Galicia have entered Portugal, and advanced to Braga, on their way to Oporto. The Portuguese general having refused to lead his army against the enemy, on the approach of the latter to Chaves, a mutiny took place, and he was, with his aid-de-camp, and one of his secretaries, put to death.
Lieut. gen. sir Arthur Wellesley, K. B. comman-
der in chief of the forces in Portugal, arrived at Portsmouth last morning, to go out in the Surveillance frigate sir G. Collier. The instructions given to sir Arthur will be of a general nature. For cases of an extraordinary kind, and exigencies which may arise in the course of the campaign, the most implicit reliance is placed on his acknowledged talents.
The 3d, or Prince of Wales's dragon guards, col. sir G. T. Calcraft; and the 4th, or Queen's own light dragon guards, col. Somerset, completed their embarkation on Wednesday. These were followed by 150 artillery drivers, with 300 horses. The whole sailed on Saturday morning for Lisbon, under convoy of the Frederickstein, capt. Searle. The transports consist of 90 sail, many of them being filled with every description of military stores.
The Magicienne, and the transports with the 16th Light Dragon Guards on board sailed from Falmouth on Thursday morning.
It is said that the French are retiring from Galicia and Leon, and that Soult means to take up a position in Navarre, where he will remain without undertaking offensive operations, so long as Buonaparte is engaged with Austria. An epidemic distemper is said to have committed great ravages in the French army. Romana harasses them in their retreat, and has actually, intercepted the whole of their plunder.
From the Lisbon Gazette—March 23.
Proclamation of Marshal Soult, to the Portuguese, with Remarks.
“In consequence of the memorable successes obtained by the army of his majesty the emperor and king, my august sovereign, I again approach your territory, to take possession of the whole of it, in the name of my master.”
When the French before, in the month of February last, ventured to pass the Minho, they in like manner issued a paper with the ridiculous title of proclamation; they were, however, defeated, and pursued to the frontiers of another province, more open, and where he hoped to encounter fewer obstacles. They are mistaken, they will meet with a barrier of brass—they may occupy some small part of the frontier country; but an incessant and relentless war shall make them abandon their enterprize; the whole of the country they can never conquer.
“I do not, therefore, expect that I shall meet with any resistance, but flatter myself I shall be received with the same cordiality with which we were received little more than a year ago.”
We received the French well in November, 1807, because his royal highness expressly commanded it, and it was never expected that they would prove so cruel and rapacious as we found them. Spain likewise then made common cause with the French. Does not marshal Soult know how we were treated by Junot, who trampled on our independence and our constitution; made slaves of our youth, violated our women, defaced the images of our Saints.—What horror! what desperation! And can he flatter himself we will receive him cordially? Ah! had such a proposition been made to our ancestors, what fury would have possessed their souls. Our neighbours in their wars against us ever advanced and relied on some equivocal rights of succession; and during the eight centuries our monarchy has lasted, no insolent stranger has ever dared to say to us, I wish to be lord of your kingdom, receive us cordially. But it was reserved for the present age to see and hear monstrous extravagances of every kind.
“What effect can resistance have! What can you propose to yourselves, when all those armies which frenzy had assembled in Spain are destroyed?”
This is a great falsehood; the same armies exist which did exist; and if they did not, why, after having entered Madrid more than three months ago, have you not been able to advance either to Castello Branco or to Badajoz? Besides, do you not know that Portugal contains three millions of inhabitants, and consequently 500,000 men capable of bearing arms, and all willing and eager to bear them. Perhaps you imagine we have not arms; but we have considerable quantities, and our government has no doubt applied to England for more. Perhaps you think that our armies are separated; and cannot be united. This might have been the case under the old system, but certainly is not under the new; we have considered, and are aware of the necessity of uniting our forces, or at least making them act in concert.
“That English army which made its appearance on the continent only to foment the spirit of disorder and rebellion, and inflict all kinds of calamities, has been defeated, and forced to embark for England, after having lost one half of its soldiers, its best generals, all its ammunition, its horses and baggage.”
We are weary of so much repetition with respect to the English army. Bessieres, in January, said, that the English had lost 10,000 men; and Soult says they lost 17,500, the half of 35,000, of which the army of general Moore at first consisted; we shall no doubt soon be told that all the English were killed or taken, and not a single man re-embarked. The French should know that several British divisions are already disembarking in the Tagus, and that more are expected; and, as the British cabinet knows that its first interest is the interest of the peninsula, it is greatly to be hoped that a British force will land in the Asturias, and, joining those valiant mountaineers, proceed to take Ferrol and Corunna, and attack the rear-guard of Soult. It will likewise be very proper that England should send efficacious succours to Catalonia, to reconquer Barcelona, because that place remaining in the power of the enemy, greatly impedes the operations of the patriots in the South of Spain.
“Portuguese, in the name of his majesty the emperor and king, Napoleon, I offer you that peace which you yourselves have driven from your country.”
You come to offer us peace! With whom then are we at war but with you? We were at peace when your arrival caused war. Your proposal is self-contradictory. The peace we seek must be compatible with the sacred rights and honour of our august sovereign, and our national independence.—Do not change the meaning of words; what you offer us is slavery and not peace. You propose that we should be quiet, and suffer you to seize without resistance the government of the nation; this is truly a very extraordinary manner of treating for peace.
“I offer you protection for yourselves and for your religion, and the ministers of that religion.”
Napoleon, in this manner, offered to protect our property for a contribution of forty millions of cruza-does; and M. Junot increased this favour by distributing it in such a manner as to produce eighty.—The same Junot protected the plate and gold in the churches; taking only the sacred utensils necessary for your defence; he was likewise willing to divest religion of the superstitions by which it was dishonoured; in other words, like Julian the apostate, to reduce it to that ridiculous simplicity which must render it contemptible.
“I offer you, besides, an entire oblivion of the past, and will engage that you shall receive the clemency of his majesty the emperor.”
Clemency from a man entirely a stranger to us! and from so ferocious a tyrant! It is not possible either to wish it, or to hope it.
“You shall enjoy the benefit of the sublime institutions of the same august sovereign. It will be very easy for me to deliver you from the calamities which you cannot deny that you endure; and assure
the evils which you have suffered, if I arrange your administration and organize anew the Portuguese army.”
We have experienced the sublime government of your august friend, and Lord protect us from it! Of our calamities, you are the cause; for Portugal was rich and flourishing before your fatal arrival.—Your presence, far from assuaging, would most miserably aggravate our evils. Our administrations and our armies are already organized; and it would be the last of deprecations to suffer your government again to disorganize them absolutely.
“There are among you citizens whose intentions have ever been pure, and who ought now to exercise their influence to promote the re-establishment of good order.—They may be assured, their services will be well received, and that the most efficacious protection will be afforded them, whatever their situation, whether in the army the state or the church.”
If Marshal Soult means by these pure citizens any partisans of the French government, they are a dreadful disgrace to their country, to say no more.
“Reflect, Portuguese, on your situation.”
“It is the best way in the world for defending ourselves against our enemies.”
“And consider well those generous offers while it is time. But let your submission be prompt and sincere, if you wish to avoid the evils from which I would save you.”
And so it is only for our good that you came from Poland, to our distant country. What exalted charity; you are a new St. Francis. But the ridiculous custom which began at the revolution still continues, by which the modern French profess and write the direct contrary to what they practise.
“And your country shall be made to shine with a new splendour.”
No doubt, by causing Beira, Alta, and Algarve, to produce some new Caméons. Less brilliancy, we believe will suit us better.

ROTTERDAM, April 4.
Letters from Germany say, that a congress is to be held on the banks of the Inn, where the emperors of Austria and France (Francis and Napoleon) intend to meet, and that the French troops who were marching through Swabia, have received orders to halt. In the mean time count Stadion has taken leave of the Bavarian court, and left Munich for Vienna; but all the other persons attached to the Austrian embassy still continue in the former place.
Gen. Thiebaut has been appointed governor of Old Castile. The division of gen. Morot is ordered to carry on the siege of Fort Jara. The general himself died on the 22d instant, and was interred on the 23d with all the military honours due to his rank.
BAYENNE, March 24.
The Spanish officers who arrived here on the 15th from Saragossa will continue their journey on the 22d for Nancy. Palafox is to proceed for the same place, under the escort of only one officer.
Marshal Lannes, Duke of Montebello, will, it is said, shortly pass through this place, on his way to Paris.
The report is confirmed of general St. Cyr having totally defeated the corps of Reding, and of his being under the walls of Valencia. Marshal Victor, Duke of Belluno, was to have passed the Tago on the 16th inst. at or near Almazan, to cut off the insurgents under the command of Cuesta.
Madrid is extremely tranquil; only one regiment is left in that capital; all the rest of the troops have marched for Toledo to join the corps under general Sebastiani. The marquis de la Romana, compelled to fly from the mountains of Asturias, has betaken himself to the coast of Orense. The small body of troops which remained to him have been completely cut up. Two whole regiments of cavalry have been made prisoners. The 116th and 121st regiments of the line, who have escorted the garrison of Saragossa, have returned to Spain. The troops quartered in the barracks on the glacis of this fortress have also marched for that kingdom—they are to relieve the imperial guards in the garrisons of Valladolid, Palencia, and Burgos. A battalion of fusileers of the guards have this day arrived here. According to letters from P. mpedelna, half the garrison of that place had marched to commence the siege of Jake, in Arragon. It is not supposed that this small fort can hold out above a week.

Portsmouth Sugar-House.
The present Proprietors of this establishment finding a larger capital necessary to carry it on successfully than they have it in their power to devote, are disposed to sell it in whole or in part, as shall best please the purchaser, and will give a great bargain to any one inclined to buy. The House is competent to the refining of 300 hogsheads raw Sugar a year; the consumption of loaf may be judged of by the result of an accurate inquiry, made with a view to ascertain the fact, that the towns of Richmond, Petersburg, and Fredericksburg alone, all in Virginia, and holding their relations in trade immediately with it, consume or afford vent for an aggregate quantity of at least 900 hogsheads Loaf Sugar a year; to say nothing of the consumption of the town of Norfolk itself, inferior to neither of the others, and where too, from its immediate intercourse with the West-Indies, the raw material has always hitherto been plenty and upon terms as cheap, often cheaper than at other ports north of this upon the continent. For further information apply to Campbell & Wheeler. May 3.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall-Street.  PROPOSALS For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION: and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the publick.
No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c. The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required. Snap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Cooper, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufacturers that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance.
I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufacturing is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect. III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property. IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon. V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid. VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy; and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect; and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a ratable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained. VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever. VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy. X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in its particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss; that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or very likely believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and, until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable:—Also, if there appears any fraud, or
late treating, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution or payment, by virtue of his policy. XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever. XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required. Feb. 13. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk.

Boot and Shoe Manufactory.
SAMUEL COLEMAN, Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quantity of the best
Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c. that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Soles and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention—no disappointments—a regular bred foreman—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnished and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions only he expects custom. He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO; all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an allowance made for that which is not; but the greatly increased price of all the materials, and the high price of labour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here. He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see. He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gentlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of getting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only.
A LEASE For the eligible PROPERTY he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half years to run. April 15.
