OF THE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES TOWARDS FOREIGN NATIONS.
Next to our own internal government, and, with which, by the bye, this subject is closely connected, there can be nothing of greater interest or importance, offered to the consideration of an American, than the policy of the U. States towards foreign nations. The affair is now arrived to a crisis; our national dignity will receive an indelible stain, or remain as heretofore, pure and spotless upon the page of history. De Yrujo is appointed, by this court, at the command of Bonaparte, minister plenipotentiary near the U. States! If he is received in that character, we shall be the most degraded and despised nation upon earth: if he is sent from our country, and repulsed, as he should be, with indignity and insult from our shores, war with France and Spain, is the inevitable consequence. Since the battle of Austerlitz there has been but one man on the continent of Europe: on that eventful day, the political existence of every other inhabitant, be he prince or peasant, of continental Europe, was annihilated. But the battle of Trafalgar, too, did much; and oppressed human nature may yet boast that there is one independent nation in the Eastern World. That "little bit of land in the ocean" called Britain, still opposes a sturdy opposition, and inexpugnable bulwark to the views of universal empire which it is manifest are entertained by Bonaparte. This man by a series of wonderful achievements, has elevated himself to the very pinnacle of chimerical glory, and to the zenith of human power.
 "High on a throne of royal state, which far  "Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,  "Or where the gorgeous east with richest hand  "Show're on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,  "Satan exalted sat, by merit rais'd  "To that bad eminence; and *****  "Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires  "Beyond thus high" 
Yes, although Bonaparte is "thus high uplifted," he yet "aspires beyond thus high." We do not deny that he has designs upon the feeble states washed by the waves of the Mediterranean; upon the Moors, Syria, Egypt, and possibly the Barbary shores; indeed he may carry his romantic ambition to the length of attempting, in imitation of Alexander, an overland expedition to India: But does this prove that he does not also want "ships, colonies, and commerce," here in our western world? Will the advocate for a robber say that his taking a purse out of the left-pocket is any proof that he did not also take one out of the right? Is the friend of this Imperial Desperado prepared to defend him upon these grounds? And these, I think, are the only grounds upon which he has been defended. But on the contrary are not Bonaparte's views upon Spanish America, the West-Indies, and these "good old United States," like the lie of Falstaff, "gross as a mountain, open, palpable?" Is not his re-appointment of that little, swarthy, upstart Spanish monkey, De Yrujo, intended, to the apprehensions of all men, as an insult to our government, for the purpose of provoking that war, which, however abject and servile we become, cannot much longer be protracted? It is; and no man whose understanding is not perverted, can deny it. It is therefore time for us to strike a blow. The Isthmus of Darien is the proper boundary between North and South America; and it is not visionary to say, that the emancipation of the whole of the country south of Paragua, Panama and Terra Firma, is completely in our power, and surely very much our interest to effect. Our peace and happiness have been too long jeopardized by the neighborhood of an insidious friend.
One of Dibden's patriotic airs.
This circumstance has too long exposed us to the machinations of the tyrants of enslaved Europe. It is time that we should be able to lay our hands on our peaceful pillows, undisturbed with the dreams of Spanish or French robbers. If it be said that an extension of territory is not desirable for the U. States there are two repliats hand, both, in my judgment unanswerable: who can set bounds to the federative system? These states from north to south, and from east to west, of immense extent, are happily governed by it; why not extend it to the Isthmus of Darien? Why not to the Straits of Magellan? But if this be thought extravagant, which it certainly is not, let the territory of the U. States remain as at present, but free Spanish America from its dependence on Europe. That this event is desirable, I suppose no one will deny; and, as I cannot foresee any objection to its practicability, I will not solve difficulties by anticipation. Perhaps, though, it may be thought necessary that I should show how these events are to be brought about. This will lead me back to the title of this essay — our foreign relations. The last advice from England state, that our differences with that country were in a train of amicable and satisfactory adjustment. Mr. Monroe himself entertained no doubts of his success, and calculated, the last time the writer of this heard from him, through a private channel, upon concluding his mission, and returning to his native land in a few weeks. Such being the happy state of our affairs with that country, I do not hesitate to say that it is the policy of the U. S. to form an alliance offensive and defensive, with G. Britain, for the express purpose of throwing our weight into her scale of opposition to the universal ambition of Bonaparte. We could do this, for reasons before mentioned, without making the smallest sacrifice. We could secure the powerful and invincible aid of the British navy without paying a shilling for it. What would G. B. expect in return, for this assistance? She would expect what we could give her without loss to us, but at the same time of unspeakable advantage to herself; of advantage to her in that very object of her ambition, for which she so bravely and unceasingly contends. With our assistance Great Britain could conquer and retain the whole West-Indian Archipelago. We do not want these islands: We have not a fleet to protect them: Great Britain has a fleet to protect them. It is our policy to expel every European nation from the continent of North and South America; and G. Britain would readily give up Canada for the West-Indies. What an enviable and elevated happiness would then be our lot! The whole western world, from Cape Horn, to the north pole, "free as air!" These views are extensive; but valour and perseverance can work miracles. I suppose that there is no political sceptic, no infatuated friend of Bonaparte, who will deny that America and G. B. allied, in this manner, could successfully oppose the rest of the world. Where then would there be a barrier to the ambition of Bonaparte: then might Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Fox issue their imperative mandates: "thus far shalt thou go, and no farther."
Some men pretend to entertain fears for our inestimable political institutions from a close alliance with Great Britain: But to me, these fears appear idle and groundless. Two nations may form the closest alliance for the great purposes of defence and national security, without their governments assimilating in the remotest degree. Let Great Britain preserve her kingly government, if it so pleases her; and let us, as we can and shall, preserve our own democratic form of rule, free from the alloy of hereditary distinctions. Great Britain will appreciate the value of our alliance too much to hazard it by even again officially interfering with our councils; And, indeed, if under another administration she should be so unwise as to attempt it, it is to be hoped that our government, if not too virtuous, will at least be too politic to barter the interests of their country, for any paltry benefit that a minion of Britain could bestow. Truly I cannot perceive what interest or motive Britain could have for making such an attempt. As to involving us in a war

with France, Bonaparte is about to effect that purpose ready to their hand; and as such is the inevitable necessity, let us use the power of the only nation on earth that can effectually assist us. Our situation is so peculiarly happy with respect to Great-Britain, that she can essentially aid us, without possessing the means of annoying any of our possessions—save our commerce, and our sea-port towns.
As to the expenses of this war, and the consequent increase of our debt, this, it must be allowed, is only paying the price of liberty and independence. But in Mexico and Peru we shall find a sponge to wipe away, at one brush our national debt, if it were ten times as great as it is.
These hasty remarks are written by one who was not born in '76, but who was a republican in '98, and is a republican in 1806; who was in favor of France when Europe was combined against her, and now is in favor of Britain when Europe is combined against her.

Eruption of Vesuvius.
Extract of a letter, dated at Naples, June 6, 1806.
ON the 31st of last month we enjoyed, for the first time, the spectacle of Vesuvius. A column of very black smoke rose from the crater about ten o'clock; flashes now and then burst from this column; at length the eruption appeared in a mass of flame, of immense diameter, and occupying the whole vast extent of the crater. This mass was kept up by successive emissions of whitish flame, which as it rose in the air, assumed a more intense red colour, ignited or melted substances, some of which were opaque, were projected with violence above this body of fire, and often fell beyond the circumference of the crater. At midnight there was not yet any current of lava, but frequent rumblings were heard.
On the 1st of June, the eruption continued the whole morning, and we reached to visit the mountain the following night.
We set out at eight in the evening.—We took horse at Resina, near the descent to Herculaneum, and proceeded towards the residence of the hermit. The house in which he lives is situated near the south peak of Mount Somma, being an easy ride of an hour and a half from Resina.
On leaving the hermitage we proceeded across the valley which separates Somma from Vesuvius, and is known by the appellation of Alrio del Cavallo.—It is of no great depth, being almost entirely filled with the lavas of successive eruptions, piled one above another. At length we reached the foot of Vesuvius, where we left our horses and began to ascend on foot.
The declivity is very steep, and difficult of ascent, on account of the movable nature of the ground on which you walk, having nothing but a mixture of ashes and fragments of lava, without consistency. After great fatigue we reached the summit, and arrived at one of the edges of the crater.
We had been lighted the whole way by eruptions of the mountain, which were projecting to a very great height. Violent rumblings that were continually heard, added to the grandeur and awfulness of the spectacle, which appeared much more beautiful and majestic from the point to which we had climbed with so much difficulty.
Suspended as it were on the brink of the crater, nothing interposed to prevent our view of the eruptions. We beheld immense masses of flame issuing almost from under our feet, rising above the clouds, and carrying with them to the same height, showers of ignited stones, which generally descended nearly in a perpendicular direction, into the very mouth of the crater; but some times falling beyond its brink, rebounded around us, and rolled red hot down the declivity which we had climbed.—Columns of fire, clouds of smoke, and showers of stones, succeeded each other, without interruption, accompanied by continual subterraneous noises; the bowels of the mountain seemed convulsed, the ground on which we stood shook, and threatened to sink beneath our feet. Never had we beheld a more melancholy image of the convulsions of nature, and notwithstanding the risks we incurred from the continual falling of the stones, we could scarcely be prevailed upon to leave it.
Our guides who were better judges of the danger than ourselves, now became alarmed, and urged us to descend.
The violence of the volcano had increased since we reached the summit, and the Power that presides over the place, seemed inclined to punish us for our audacity, and for having presumed to violate his tremendous abode.
We accordingly descended, and in a few minutes arrived at the Alrio del Cavallo.—We were out of the reach of danger, and were enabled to contemplate, without apprehension the objects by which we were surrounded. What an admirable spectacle! Over our head the volcano, with its smoking lava rushing down the side of the mountain; before us the sea smooth and calm, the full moon illuminating with her mild beams the extremity of the horizon; the clouds and smoke wafted around the summit of the mountain, and concealing, for a few moments, the vast conflagration, which appeared again more lively and more brilliant. This succession of lights and shades, this contrast of turbulence and tranquility, this solitude in the midst of vast convulsion, produced a multitude of contrary impressions that cannot be described, but the recollection of which will never be erased.
We returned about four in the morning to Naples, having spent four hours in the excursion.
On the second, the eruption continued the whole day, with much greater violence than before. Two currents of lava were formed; one of these stopped in the morning—the other, taking an eastern course spread with great rapidity, and deluged the plain. As our excursion of the preceding night had not enabled us to form any idea concerning the progress of the lava, we set out again to observe this extraordinary phenomenon.
Passing through the villages of Portici, Resina, and Torre del Greco, we entered inclosures, consisting of vineyards and cornfields, into which the lava had penetrated; we approached the current, and I was surprised to find the progress of the lava so different from the conception I had formed of it.
I had always imagined that the substance of the lava, resembling melted glass, ran in the same manner, and advanced uniformly like a river of fire; and indeed it is extremely probable, that its great number of eruptions, it actually exhibits this appearance. On the present occasion, I saw nothing but an accumulation of stones, some of which were of prodigious magnitude, heaped one upon another, to the height of fifteen or twenty feet, and about half a mile in breadth. This formidable mass advanced slowly, following a progression produced solely by the falling of different bodies, between which there is no adhesion and which, in obedience to the impulse they had received on issuing from the crater, rolled from the most elevated point, and covered the surface of another stratum. In this manner the stones rolled over, one upon another, till the front rank having attained the same height as that which produced it, began in turn to pour down the ignited bodies that came tumbling upon it.
All this intestine motion was accompanied with a noise resembling the decapitation of salts, but much louder and brisker. The fire was fed by various combustible matters, as sulphur, bitumen, and metals, which might be known by their flames—but there was no appearance either of complete fusion, or of the commencement of it. The stones resisted the pressure of a stick, which I several times endeavoured, but in vain, to thrust into them.
Meanwhile the devastation occasioned by the progress of this torrent presented a horrid spectacle. The trees which supported the vines, & the vines themselves, were burned by the extreme heat of this mass of matter, even before it reached them; and the bright and clear light produced by their combustion, indicated the exact contour of the progress of the lava. The walls of inclosures and of houses, calcined by the heat, crumbled to pieces before the moving mountain, or were thrown down by the force of the impulse. Sometimes, however, instead of overturning an obstacle, the lava turned aside, and left it standing; for this variety of action, it is impossible to assign any reason.
After we had contemplated this dismal and astonishing sight, we went up to the convent of the Camaldulenses, situated on a kind of peak of considerable height, that overlooks the whole plain, which extends from the south to the west, from the foot of Mount Vesuvius to the sea. This building has hitherto been spared, as well as the thick wood in which it has been embosomed. It is one of the nearest
points to Vesuvius, and that from which you are able to discover and trace the progress of the lava. It is the asylum to which the wretched inhabitants of the desolated plain have often fled with their most valuable effects; to which they have driven their flocks, and conveyed their wives and children.
Here we staid a considerable time; our view extended over the declivity of Vesuvius, from which ran several currents of lava, that issued from the sides of the mountain; while enormous flames of fire, of which we had a nearer prospect the night before, darted continually from its summit. We had likewise a view of the plain, in which appeared the long windings of the rivers of fire. The reddish reverberation of the lava, and the conflagration in the plain, illumined the landscape. On every side appeared the image of desolation; but yet it exhibited a picture so splendid, a scene so magnificent, that the ravages with which it was attended were entirely forgotten in the contemplation of its picturesque and poetic beauty. In short, when my mind figures to itself those fiery torrents, the motion of the lava, the subterraneous thunders, those continual hissing, so many wonders, so many subjects of grief and admiration, I should think that a dream had deceived me if the imagination, which produces such dreams, were capable of creating images so awful and so grand.
On the 3d the eruption continued, and the lava still advanced; the detonations were louder and more frequent than the preceding day. In the evening the flames shot to a greater height, attracting the electricity of the air, and of the clouds, which emitted splendid flashes.
On the 4th the eruption was less violent. On the 5th Vesuvius began to throw out ashes, which, we are assured, announces the conclusion of the eruption. (Moniteur, June 22.)
The following quotations are from the American Citizen, printed in New-York by an Englishman, by the name of Cheetham, who for maleconduct, was obliged to fly his country, and has attached himself to the democratic party in New-York. The comments are from the pen of the patriotic Coleman, editor of the New-York Herald. "Straws serve to shew how the wind blows."
"We have in all our cities and seaports a considerable number of men, chiefly dry good merchants, who are partners or agents of British merchants; these men want to embroil us with France and Spain, and there is no lying they will stick at to provoke it, but they had better pack themselves off, for if Bonaparte should come, as they predict and ought to be afraid of, he will trim their jackets, and make them pay the expence."
"Can any thing so execrable be produced in the worst paper that ever disgraced the American press? Here is an attempt to divide the community, and point out one half of them as proper victims to a foreign invader. Again!"
"France has always behaved with honor to the United States, and we are perfectly easy on that score. If she has a mind to come and drive off the scoundrels and British emissaries that seek to embroil the United States and France with each other, we will not fortify New-York to prevent it. Let those pay the expence of fortifying who expose it to danger. The cheapest way to fortify New-York, will be to banish the scoundrels that infest it."
"Thank God! the above is not from the press of an American. None but an alien, one who felt no attachment to the land he lives in, could have given publicity to any thing so infamous and so traitorous.—Hear him once more."
"Two or three thousand French troops would soon scour New-York, and carry off a cargo of conspirators."
"Is this to be tolerated? Is there then a party in the United States already formed to call upon the French to invade us? And have they already arrived at that pitch of audacity as openly to avow it? If Bonaparte would only send two or three thousand troops, the number necessary to make up the quota would we presume, be furnished here, and the federalists seized and delivered to them, bound ready for the murderous guillotine. And has it so soon come to this pass? O monstrous villainy!"
"In a late number taken from the Repository, entitled 'Thoughts and reflections on the present state of affairs,' the following observations were hazarded, on the supposition that Bonaparte shall triumph over Great-Britain and
then extend his views to this country; after a supposition of insults and aggressions and an attempt to extinguish our national spirit, the writer proceeds thus:"
"To a people once free, it will appear of all conditions of disgrace the lowest to submit to the power of a conqueror. But even in the lowest deep there is a lower deep. We shall suffer the utmost aggravation of this condition, both in point of shame and wretchedness, for our conqueror would exercise his dominion by the faction of our traitors . Such is our distance from the metropolis of the great empire of which we should be a part, that our master must necessarily array a French party in the United States, and commit the force and treasures of our country to their hands, no doubt with the aid of a competent body of French troops."
If any persons should ask whether Americans would be found base enough to accept of places under a French domination, we answer, they would quarrel for employment.—Besides, we have foreigners enough among us whose patriotism is a transferable stock, to fill all offices. Has Holland or Italy or Switzerland disappointed France of each a host of traitors? Power will be offered them, power over their fellow citizens and equals. France would thus cheaply acquire the dominion of the United States, without our people so much as knowing when they first got it or how it could be shaken off. They would have it, and it is more than a thousand to one, without firing a musket to get it."
"When this article first appeared, the Aurora affected to believe it was the speculation of a visionary; yet not a month has passed and we already see 'the faction of our traitors ' coming out in our public prints on the side of France, with their denunciations and their triumphs in anticipation. And is the American public yet base enough to listen with complacency to such infamous suggestions?"
"As to an alliance offensive and defensive with England which the Citizen supposes a certain paper to desire—we are not prepared to advocate that. To be obliged to engage in every war in which she may, and occasionally must be engaged, in consideration of her joining us if we should be involved in war, would in our present judgment be but a bad bargain on our part. Sound policy, American policy demands of us to view the subject with extreme caution. Mr. Randolph (if he be the author of Alcibiades in the Richmond Enquirer) may indeed desire it; nothing is more common than for men to go from one extreme to another; but we have always been more disposed to admire the brilliancy of talents than to repose ourselves upon the solid wisdom of this statesman. We hope the Federal prints will conduct with guarded circumspection on so momentous a question."
New-York, October 16.
A letter has been received from Boston this morning, informing that it had been discovered that the Treaty between France and Russia contemplated a division of the Ottoman Empire between them, in consequence of which England had determined to continue the war at every hazard.
Miranda.—In a Jamaica paper of the 6th of September received this morning by the brig Sally, we perceive that the British sloop of war Stork of 18 guns, the Flying-Fish schooner of 12 guns, and the Pike schooner of five guns, had sailed for Coro to the assistance of Miranda.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated August 17.
"A messenger has arrived from our ambassador at Paris. The intelligence by him is understood to be such, that the prospects of Peace are materially lessened. Probably the French government, having concluded a separate peace with Russia, have risen in their demands. The funds have in consequence experienced a considerable decline."
"We were yesterday upon the point of dispatching the annexed Prices Current, when we received advices through the public prints and private letters that Lord Lauderdale was upon his return from Paris without effecting the objects of his mission. The accounts this morning neither absolutely contradict nor confirm this statement; the whole rests upon the depression of the public funds, which in Omnium is a reduction of full 4 per cent."
P. S August 18.—"The accounts of this morning correspond with those of yesterday."
Capt. Howard informs, that the prospect of Peace had subsided—and that

Mr. Munroe, the American Minister, was not to return to America till spring. In consequence of dispatches received from America—And that Mr. Erskine, who was appointed Ambassador to America, had not yet taken his departure, and it was uncertain when he would leave England. [N. T. Gaz.]
Latest Dates. —Arrived this forenoon, the schr. Hamlet, captain Henry, in 33 days from Bourdeaux. Cap. H. informs that the negotiation for Peace had broken off, and that Lord Lauderdale had demanded his passport on the 28th August, and expected to leave Paris in a few days. The Hamlet left Bourdeaux the 5th Sept. and the river the 8th. Accounts, however, are contradictory.
Letters are received by the same arrival of the 1st and 3d of September, one of which says "We are in the same state of uncertainty as when I wrote you last. The negotiations are continued, and by some are supposed to be rapidly approaching a pacific conclusion."
A Paris paper, the Argus, of the 1st of September takes no notice of a failure of the negotiation, which is incredible to suppose, had Lord Lauderdale left Paris.
The great continental powers have agreed to acknowledge Bonaparte, and a magnificent fete is, in consequence, preparing.
Extract of a letter from the first mercantile house in Amsterdam, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated 31st July, 1806.
"You will already have heard that Louis Bonaparte, was nominated, and is King of Holland. This is really one of these strange events, that we gaze at with surprize, but in wonderful times, nothing ought to astonish us—all I can say is, I hope it will tend to the advantage of our desolated country. This week we received the news that Peace was signed between France and Russia on the 20th inst. at Paris, and it is imagined that this is the forerunner of a peace between England and France, many in this place are of opinion it will shortly happen. But I cannot imagine how it can be possible; the interest, and the different views of these powers are such, that nothing but a miracle can make them agree—you may reply we are in an age of greater miracles—if peace should take place this fall, without being a Prophet, the ambition and encroaching spirit of the one party, will occasion the other to open rupture before next Spring, this I am convinced of."
The new constitution for Germany has been completed. Its federative system is to consist of two Colleges, that of kings and that of Princes; who are to be supplied by the Emperor of France; they are to assemble at Frankfort, on the 1st of September at which Napoleon is to be present in person. The members of the federation are ten in number, viz. Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden, Nassau, Yeimboldt, Hohenzollern, Arimberg, Salm and Leyden. In case of an attack, the federation engages to furnish France with 75,000 men; and France 20,000 to the federation. As a measure of caution and safety the French troops will remain in Germany until the new system is carried into effect.
New Coalition against France. We are indebted to a respectable merchant of this city, for the following extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, August 19th—received by the Hudson. "I send this down to the Rock, by a boat in time for the Hudson, to advise you that the mail from Hamburg, brings accounts of Prussia, Germany, Sweden and other powers, having formed a Coalition against France to try with her the fate of arms once more. This information is brought by the 2d edition of the OBSERVER, a Sunday paper of the 17th August. Perhaps, however, it is a stockjobbing business."
From the Moniteur of August 13. We esteem ourselves fortunate in having obtained the information necessary to put the public on their guard against the rumours which are at present in circulation, and which we are authorised to communicate.
All the difficulties which existed in Germany have been removed. Austria has acknowledged the Confederation of the Rhine; and the title of emperor of Austria confers upon this house a title equal to those of other Imperial houses. Prussia has acknowledged the confederation of the Rhine, as well as the late arrangements in Germany.
His majesty the king of Prussia has appointed M. de Humboldt his Minister Plenipotentiary to Naples. He has al-
so appointed ministers to the king of Holland, and to the grand duke of Cleves and Berg.
The emperor of Austria has acknowledged the king of the Two Sicilies.
The orders are preparing for the Staff for the return of the Grand Army; and the Fêtes, on account of the peace, will take place at the end of September as we before stated.
The affairs of the Continent are in a state of arrangement at present, that it may look to permanent tranquillity.
The ratifications of the treaty of peace with Russia will be exchanged at St. Petersburg on the 15th inst. and all the information which has been lately received from that great capital, furnishes fresh proofs of the pacific disposition of the emperor Alexander, and of his desire to contribute to the general peace.
WASHINGTON, October 16.
The latest official information from the westward down to the 30th of August at Nachitoches, states that the Spanish forces, after having remained from the 10th to the 19th of August, within 17 miles of that place, fell back on the 19th to the Bayou Pierre, a post not heretofore delivered to the U. States, and about 60 miles from Nachitoches; where they still remained.
It was considered as doubtful whether this retrograde march was occasioned by the want of provisions, in which they were very deficient, or whether it indicated a purpose to retire permanently beyond the boundary of the territory delivered to us.
Our foreign relations. —For the last twelve months every arrival from London has been said to bring despatches from our ministers there and assurances that our differences with Great Britain were in a fair way to be speedily adjusted. This story has been told over and over again, till it has become quite stale, but is again repeated we find by the arrival of the Gold Hunter at New-York. If such favourable accounts have been so often received, how happens it that we hear nothing upon the subject but in the form of vague rumours? Why are none of these important and favourable despatches made public, and why above all things has not this adjustment been effected, which for above a year has been so very near a conclusion? We have now two ministers and a consul in England and as many more in Spain. If they are doing anything for the people's money which they receive, the people ought to know it; and if not, why should they be kept there at such an enormous expense to the country? During the whole of the last session of congress we heard of only one communication from our minister in London being laid before the representatives of the people. Even that was trusted in their hands only just long enough to be read, and Mr. Randolph has induced us to believe that to have kept it entirely secret would have been more to the credit of the administration and the country. On this subject, however, we are left to mere conjecture, as the communication was never permitted to be published.
Extract of a letter, dated Wilmington, Delaware, October 9, 1806.
"Our election for representative to congress and state legislators was held on the 7th inst. and I have the pleasure to inform you, that Mr. James M. Broom is reelected without opposition, and that our legislature is decidedly federal."

FOR THE INTELLIGENCER.
Thoughts on Religious Bigotry.
The dreadful consequences which would result to this country, from the prevalence of religious bigotry are too obvious to need illustration. It has been a pest and a scourge wherever it has existed. It confines the mind in a narrow and sickly prison, and tortures it with a thousand imaginary horrors. It is a tyrant whose arbitrations require a prompt and unresisting obedience, without permitting the delay of a momentary thought, or the passage of a fugitive reflection. It says, I am holier than thou, and holds out the threatening language of death against those who blasphemously contradict it. It says, believe as I believe, or suffer woe in this world, and eternal horror beyond the grave. Its path is strewed with the blood and bones of martyrs. It is the implacable and irreconcilable foe of Science and Morality. It persecuted Galileo, it put Aristotle to flight, and
murdered, in cold blood, the divine and unoffending Socrates. It kindled the voracious and unhallowed flames of Smithfield. It doubly armed the fierce and intractable Mahometan with the sabre in one hand and the Koran in the other; that if he should not convince with his gospel he might cleave down with his steel. To descend to more modern instances, it persecuted, drowned and hung the suspected wretches in Salem, for the fancied crime of witchcraft. It hung the quakers in Virginia, and new England, and would fain hang every honest man for expressing his indignation at this deed of tenfold darkness.
But bigotry would long since have voluntarily banished herself from our land, had it not found an artful, a formidable, and an assiduous auxiliary in hypocrisy. They are in fact mutually dependent on each other. Bigotry, which is a weakness, would melt away before the irresistible rays of that intelligence, which it is the art of hypocrisy to keep in perpetual eclipse; and hypocrisy, which is a vice, would universally be branded with the infamy it merits, did not the weakness of bigotry disable it from discriminating between the semblance of virtue and its reality. Since then hypocrisy is one of the most terrible adversaries of the human race, we, in common with the rest of our fellow beings, are interested in accelerating the extinction of both.
CHRISTIANUS.
ENGLAND.
The dates which have reached us have come down to August 23. It would appear from these papers, that General Simcoe and his suite had embarked for the East-Indies. But his destination is not so obvious as the politicians of Plymouth might have supposed. The Santa Margareta, on board which he embarked, had not provided herself with stores for so long a voyage. Lord Caledon's suite had embarked on the 19th of August, for the Cape of Good Hope, and he himself was to sail by the first of September. On the 21st of August the variations of Exchange were so abrupt from hour to hour, that, it was, as the London papers call it, AN IMPORTANT DAY. The Marquis of Douglass has gone as ambassador to Petersburg. Mr. Erskine as ambassador to the United States. Mr. Braham had also sailed on a diplomatic mission to Lisbon. A number of troops had embarked for Sicily from Margate, and had gotten as far as the Isle of Wight on the morning of the 21st. The Ganges, the Captain, and Kingfisher, were employed in this expedition, and the rest of the convoy were repairing to Spithead, with the Fury, the Devastation, and the Explosion. Some of the English prints suppose that this expedition is intended for Portugal, and that if the defence of that kingdom should be found impracticable, they will immediately bear away to SPANISH AMERICA! Does this look like peace?
FRANCE.
The Paris papers down to August 29, hold up the false prospect of peace. They say, "notwithstanding the fluctuations of exchange, (in England and France.) Notwithstanding the reports propagated by those who know no more about it than ourselves, we live to believe, that peace with England was decided at Austerlitz."—Lord Lauderdale had not received his passports—But it will be remembered by those who reflect on these subjects, that on a former occasion Lord Whitworth was remaining at Paris, whilst the English were taking the Oups of Good Hope.
NAPLES.
Massena is successful in Naples. The Neapolitan papers say, that Major Coscelli, at the head of a company of gendarmes, has 'scoured' the wood of Ariccia and Lama, which have always served as a shelter to the poor, feeble, but loyal fugitives from the terrors of foreign invasion.
GERMANY.
This huge and respectable fabric is cut down, and its fragments are distributing among the servants of Napoleon. Prussia is composing a large military addition to her forces. Saxony has been sounded as to a northern confederacy, and refused her sanction.
[The People's Friend.]
On Monday last, the Artillery of Germantown, being out to exercise agreeable to law, one of the pieces went off in the action of removing the cartridge, whereby three persons of one family were injured, viz. the father had his two hands shattered in such a manner, that one of them was amputated on the field, one of his sons was killed on the spot, and one other so much wounded that his life is despaired of.
A NEW SCOTCH SONG.
TUNE—"Whistle o'er the lave o't."
We should na' weep ourselves to stane, Like Niobe, that's dead and gane, Nor blee our een out a' our lane, But "whistle o'er the lave o't."
Gie me a man, whase een can blink, Whase heart is free, whase snal can think, Whase clishmaclever care can link, And "whistle o'er the lave o't."
Let beauty's smiles illum the way, The mirky glenthrough which we stray, Thus may we live out little day, And "whistle o'er the lave o't."
When fortune shaws a scawling brow, And lays our fairest prospects low, As pleasure fades, let reason grow, And "whistle o'er the lave o't."
But when she glints wi' face serene, And decks the warl in gayest sheen, Wa' ay distrust the fickle Queen, And "whistle o'er the lave o't."
And when auld Death, wi' ruthless paw, Shall clapperclaw us aye and a', We maun submit to Nature's law, And "whistle o'er the lave o't."

Negro Woman,
Who is well acquainted with house work, and her three children, a girl and two boys. Inquire of the printer.
CASH given for clean Linen & Cotton R A G S, At the Office of the INTELLIGENCER.

From the Enquirer.
The following is a severe but just satire on the manners and fashions of the present day.
Ye belles and ye flirts and pert little things Who trip in this frolicsome round, Pray tell me from whence this indecency springs, The sexes at once to confound?
What means the cock'd hat, and the masculine air, With each motion design'd to perplex? Bright eyes were intended to languish, not stare, And softness the test of your sex.
The girl who on beauty depends for sup May call ev'ry art to her aid: [port, The bosom display'd, and the petti-coat short, Are samples she gives of her trade.
But you, on whom fortune indulgently smiles, And whom pride has preserv'd from the snare, Should slyly attack us, with coyness and wiles, Not with open and insolent air.
The Venus, whose statue delights all mankind, Shrinks modestly back from the view, And kindly should seem by the artist design'd, To serve as a model for you.
Then learn with her beauties, to copy her air, Nor venture too much to reveal; Our fancies will paint what you cover with care, And double each charm you conceal.
The blushes of morn, and the mildness of May, Are charms which no art can procure; Oh! be but yourselves, and one homage we pay, And your empire is solid and sure.
But if Amazon-like you attack your gab And put us in fear of our lives, You may do very well for sisters and suits, But, believe me, you'll never be wives.

CAUTION.
WHEREAS, Mary, my wife, hath left my bed and board, without any cause, and hath otherwise behaved herself in an indecent and improper manner; this is therefore to caution the public from crediting or in any manner dealing with her on my account, as I am determined to pay none of her contracts after this date. And every person is further cautioned against harbouring her, in any manner, at their peril.
CHRISTOPHER BOWZER. September 26, 1806.
JOHN ALBURTIS,
Has in contemplation, if sufficiently patronized, to print an elegant edition of
Addresses to Young Men, By JAMES FORDYCE.
And for that purpose submits the following proposals to the consideration of all who feel for the welfare of the present and rising generation, whose happiness these Addresses are so admirably calculated to promote.
TERMS:
The above Addresses shall be printed with an elegant and entirely new type, on good paper, in a duodecimo form, and will contain about 500 pages. They shall be neatly bound and lettered for $1 75.—or $1 50 half bound, payable on delivery of the work.
They shall be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained, and finished without delay.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE present publisher, as a member of that class of the community, to which this highly valuable work is addressed, recommends it particularly to his young brethren—but every person who feels for the good of his country, and for the welfare of society, he doubts not, will consider it a duty to patronize a work of this kind.
THE dispositions and manners of Young Men may be regarded as of the greatest consequence both to the present and future generations—An intercourse with those of worthy manners and dignified deportment, is evidently, much more efficacious in moulding the minds and directing the actions of others, than the highest authority, or the wisest example, of age. How deeply society will be affected, by the connections which Young Men shall form, and by the conduct which they shall hold, as they advance, it is not difficult to imagine; nor can it be necessary to prove, that, as the behaviour of individuals in their early days gives for the most part a turn to the rest, so from the character of our Youth in general, we may prognosticate favourably, or otherwise, concerning our own times, and those that shall more immediately succeed them.
THE above work, tho' more particularly addressed to, and intended for, the improvement of the minds of Young Men, inculcates principles that would add dignity to age,—and be ornamental to the nature of either sex. To persons acquainted with the author and his writings, any recommendation that could be offered, would be superfluous; but to those unacquainted with both, it may be proper to observe, that the work here offered, has stood the test of time and experience, and has been universally extolled by the virtuous of every sect and country where it has been read.
It would be a valuable present from a parent to a child, and for which they may expect remuneration in the rational improvement made in the minds of their progeny.
To complete this work, in a style that will do it justice, will subject the publisher to very considerable expense; but he doubts not but he shall be compensated for his expense and trouble, as every one will acknowledge, that the dissemination of books of this kind are an actual good to the community at large, and will therefore feel disposed to patronize it—for this purpose all who feel inclined to do so are invited to the Office of the Intelligencer, Martinsburg.
Money Found.
ON Wednesday the 10th inst. the subscriber found a sum of money, on the road leading from Martinsburg to Winchester. The owner on proving his property may have it again, on application to me, near Opeckon bridge, Berkeley County.

A FARM TO SELL OR RENT.
THE subscriber wishes either to sell or rent a valuable FARM—it is situated in Hampshire County, at the junction of the Great Cacapeon and Potomac Rivers, and about three miles from Berkeley Springs. It was lately the property of Cornelius Ferree, Esq. and is at present occupied by him. The tract contains 257 acres, a considerable part of which is cleared, and in good order for cultivation—There is upon the premises, a very good dwelling-house, as likewise a barn, and all other buildings necessary or convenient for a farm. The land, from its situation between the two rivers, and in a great measure surrounded by them, is of a most excellent quality. As it is remote from any other land belonging to the subscriber, he would prefer selling it; and his price is six pounds per acre.—But if he cannot sell, he will rent it at the rate of 75 pounds per annum, for any term, not exceeding ten years,—and in either case, possession will be given the first day of December next, with the liberty of sowing a crop this fall.—If any person, having viewed the premises, should wish to purchase, or to lease upon these terms, he will please to apply to the subscriber who resides in Shenandoah County.
